Chapter 1017 Yongchang Returns to the Team

Shanghai Intelligence Section?

Xu Yongchang was momentarily stunned. Huo Yueze glanced at him and then explained the specific situation of the Shanghai Intelligence Section, continuing, "I am currently the head of the Shanghai Intelligence Section. Let me tell you, it's impossible for you to return to the army. For now, you must continue to infiltrate the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters. Your main task is to get as close as possible to Wang Hanmin and, according to our instructions, eliminate this traitor without exposing yourself!"

It took Xu Yongchang a while to react. He had no objection to Huo Yueze's order. This job was almost exactly the same as when he infiltrated Fu Yaozu's side to assassinate him. He had some experience with this, so he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I will try my best to get in touch with Wang Hanmin. It's a pity that Wang Hanmin came to the Second Brigade yesterday to select guards. If I had known, I would have tried to sneak in."

"Don't rush things. Everything must be done without leaving a trace. Listen, this isn't a one-off deal. You need to protect your identity as much as possible. Eliminating Wang Hanmin isn't the goal. The most important thing is that you can continue to lie low. I will arrange Hong Shijie as your contact person. He will contact you soon and explain the details. You will receive instructions through him from now on. In case of any emergency, you must notify him immediately."

Hong Shijie was Xu Yongchang's comrade-in-arms and the person in the Shanghai intelligence department who knew Xu Yongchang best. Huo Yueze's arrangement was exactly what Xu Yongchang wanted.

Huo Yueze then took out another book, opened it, and found half a brand-new legal tender banknote tucked inside. He said, "There's one more thing you need to pay attention to. You must carry this half banknote with you at all times. If there is an emergency during the operation and someone comes to see you with the other half banknote, no matter who that person is, you must obey their orders unconditionally and without the slightest hesitation!"

Xu Yongchang was taken aback, but quickly recovered. He gently picked up the half banknote, carefully put it away, and then asked, "Whoever it is?"

"Yes, whoever it is! To be honest, I don't know exactly who this person is, but it will definitely be someone you wouldn't expect. He will only contact you in the most urgent situation. Once you meet, it means his identity has been exposed to you, and there is no need to keep it a secret between you. After that, he will be your superior, and all your actions will be directed by him. Hong Shijie will then withdraw. You need to remember this clearly!"

"Understood!" Xu Yongchang nodded heavily. Although he was not familiar with intelligence work, he never compromised on obeying orders.

"Also, don't contact your former comrades and friends anymore, not even your family. This could easily expose your past social connections, especially those intelligence agents you introduced. In short, the cleaner you sever ties with the past, the safer your identity will be!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yongchang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. He knew that from now on he would be living a completely different life than before and facing a new battle.

Looking at Xu Yongchang's expression, Huo Yueze smiled kindly and said in a low voice again, "We will re-file your information. From now on, you will be an intelligence officer in the Shanghai Intelligence Section of the Second Operations Division of our Military Intelligence Bureau. Everything will start anew. Welcome to the team!"

After saying that, Huo Yueze extended his hand, and Xu Yongchang quickly followed suit, and the two shook hands tightly.

Huo Yueze pointed to Suzhou Bridge, and Xu Yongchang nodded, got out of the car, and quickly walked towards Suzhou City. Huo Yueze watched him enter the city before starting the car and driving away quickly.
