Upon hearing this, Lin Hanwen quickly explained, "Old Xia, you know that's not what I meant. These circumstances were already communicated by Comrade Qingshan when he transferred your relationship with Shadow, so of course I have no objections."
However, I really can't understand Shadow's behavior. You and I are both in intelligence work. Tell me, what kind of identity can do this? How can you continuously raise huge amounts of funds behind enemy lines, collect top-secret intelligence from all aspects, and even organize a rescue in less than a day at the headquarters of Agent 76? Didn't you notice the problem with Wutong, whose identity was exposed and who was strictly detained?
The Shadow's power far exceeds our imagination; almost every intelligence report he gathers redefines our understanding of him. Frankly, to me, the Shadow doesn't seem like a person at all. No single person could be so comprehensive. The Shadow is more like an organization—an organization with exceptional intelligence-gathering capabilities. Only this explanation makes sense!
Lin Hanwen had actually suspected something about the shadow for a long time, so today he simply told Xia Deyan what he was thinking.
After listening to Lin Hanwen's words, Xia Deyan remained silent for a long time before finally uttering, "But Shadow's loyalty is beyond question!"
“Of course, I absolutely do not doubt him!” Lin Hanwen hurriedly nodded and said.
“If even such comrades are doubted, then our work is meaningless! In fact, I have a guess that Shadow may have developed his own downline. He has the strength and financial resources to do so, which is not difficult for him.”
Xia Deyan was stunned for a moment; he had never considered this possibility before.
At this moment, Lin Hanwen continued, "However, Lao Xia, I still want to reiterate what I said before. We shouldn't speculate on his true identity, but at the very least, we need a two-way communication channel, even if it's just an emergency communication channel. This way, both sides can cooperate better."
The conversation returned to its starting point, and Xia Deyan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But I have no chance to contact him at all. I can't exactly wait for him to appear at the back door every night, can I? He only contacts me when it's important intelligence. The longest interval was once every six months. After the last rescue of Wutong, there was no contact for more than two months. There's no pattern to it at all!"
Lin Hanwen was also helpless upon hearing this. Although this one-way communication method ensured the safety of the shadow to the greatest extent, the poor communication between the two parties also posed some significant risks. However, for the time being, no one had any good solutions!
