At this moment, the people who were there to greet them at the door came upstairs one after another. There were many people, and their footsteps were naturally chaotic. The sound of people going up the stairs could even be heard from Shen Le's room.

Shen Le couldn't help but sigh, and said with a pursed lip, "These guys from the Military Intelligence Bureau are so smug now, they're living much better lives than us. Sigh, I can barely protect myself, so I can't be bothered with their business."

After saying that, he turned around and sat back down in his seat, gently picked up a wine glass, and drank the wine in it in one gulp.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jitong lost all interest in curiosity. He slowly returned to his seat and looked at Shen Le, saying, "Brother Ziyue, this time you were sent to Nanjing, but the danger is unpredictable. The organization in the Shanghai-Nanjing area has been completely wiped out, and everything, big and small, has been destroyed. The puppet government and the Japanese are arrogant and rampant. The headquarters is sending you to rebuild the organization at this time. This is not a sign of goodwill, but someone is plotting against you!"

Shen Le remained silent, sitting quietly in his chair, slowly swirling his wine glass. After a long while, he said helplessly, "This time we were indeed ambushed. The hidden dangers planted in the past have finally erupted. I offended that old fox Sheng Xianghuai in Nanjing, and I never expected him to bite me at this crucial moment. He told the bureau chief that the person in charge of the puppet government's No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters in Nanjing is my former subordinate, Wen Hao. Now he has set up a so-called 'No. 21' in Nanjing, holding real power, and wants me to do his subversion work and bring Wen Hao back. Isn't that just wishful thinking?"

The Japanese are currently at the height of their military power, and the National Revolutionary Army is suffering repeated defeats. The future of the Battle of Changsha is uncertain. If it falls, the nation's future will be bleak, and the consequences will be unimaginable. At this time, you expect me to use empty words to persuade key figures in the puppet government to defect? ​​Do you really think that bit of brotherhood can turn the tide? Alas…”

Shen Le was Wen Hao's elder brother and superior for many years. He had always cared for Wen Hao and had helped and mentored him. Even after Wen Hao was captured and defected, Shen Le was implicated.

Just two months ago, Wen Hao led his former subordinates to Nanjing to set up a branch of the Special Agents Headquarters and to prepare for the puppet government's return to the capital.

Upon arriving in Nanjing, Wen Hao quickly established the special agent branch. Since the branch was located at No. 21 Yihe Road in Nanjing, it followed the example of the Shanghai Special Agent Headquarters and referred to itself as "No. 21" to the outside world.

In order to gain the trust of the Japanese, Wen Hao worked extremely hard. As soon as he arrived in Nanjing, he began to recruit soldiers and expand his power. With his previous connections, he quickly wiped out the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) forces that were lurking in Nanjing. At this point, all of the CBIS's forces in Shanghai and Nanjing were wiped out.

This caused the high-ranking officials of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) to lose face. However, Shanghai and Nanjing were key locations in East China and also the rear bases of the Japanese army in Central China. The CBIS was unwilling to give up these areas under any circumstances. Therefore, it was necessary to reorganize the undercover organization. As a result, Shen Le's old enemy proposed that, because of the extraordinary relationship between Shen Le and Wen Hao, Shen Le could replace Lu Yuannan as the new district head of the Suzhou-Shanghai area, reorganize the undercover organization, and try to win over Wen Hao to serve the Kuomintang again.

This move was extremely ruthless. The reason was perfectly legitimate, and Shen Le's qualifications and rank were sufficient to take on this important position, so the decision was made quickly. By the time Shen Le learned of the news, it was already too late to undo the damage.

This made Shen Le extremely frustrated. He had spent his whole life scheming against others, but he never expected to be schemed against himself. Everyone knew that East China was now a minefield. Even a powerful department like the Military Intelligence Bureau had suffered repeated heavy blows and losses. Not to mention the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Zhongtong), which was far inferior in both ability and personnel quality. How easy would it be to rebuild a covert organization in the heart of the Japanese territory?

Not to mention trying to win over Wen Hao. Given the current situation, the future of the Chongqing government is bleak, and opportunists are flocking to the puppet government. If Wen Hao were to let him go and not arrest him and hand him over to the Japanese, that would be considered an act of consideration for their past relationship. How could he possibly defect to the Chongqing government?
