"Director, Feng Shinian is back and wants to see you!" Cui Yuanfeng reported in a low voice.
"Who?" Luo Xingchao couldn't immediately recall who Feng Shinian was.
But he quickly realized what was happening and looked at Cui Yuanfeng with a puzzled expression: "Didn't this person run away? Why is he back?"
“He said he had important information to report, which is probably true. I think this person is likely to cause trouble, so I brought him back quickly. You can ask him about it.”
"Let him in!" Luo Xingchao nodded immediately.
Soon, Cui Yuanfeng brought Feng Shinian into the office. Luo Xingchao's face turned cold, and he asked, "What situation do you have to report?"
Feng Shinian glanced at Cui Yuanfeng beside him, and Cui Yuanfeng couldn't help but find it amusing: "What? You think I'm in your way? If you have something to say, just say it."
However, Feng Shinian remained silent and did not speak. Upon seeing this, Luo Xingchao waved his hand to signal Cui Yuanfeng, who then turned and left.
Watching Cui Yuanfeng leave, Luo Xingchao asked again, "Speak, what exactly do you know?"
Feng Shinian took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "Chief, I've found a new liaison point for the Military Intelligence Bureau!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Xingchao's eyes narrowed. He stared intently at Feng Shinian and asked in a deep voice, "Where?"
"Chief, I want a reward, and some sulfonamides. My wife is very ill!"
Feng Shinian did not answer Luo Xingchao's question, but instead directly stated his own conditions, which were his only hope of getting out of his current predicament.
"Okay!" Luo Xingchao only wanted to know if it was true or not, so he immediately agreed. As for whether he could keep his word, that depended on his mood. "As long as what you said is true, everything is fine!"
Seeing that Luo Xingchao agreed so readily, Feng Shinian didn't waste any more words. Now that he had no other choice, he no longer hesitated and told everything he knew.
"Are you saying that the manager of this department store is your colleague from your time in Beiping? Are you sure?"
"I can confirm it. I've been observing the area for a long time these past few days and I'm sure it's Huang Lihui. That shop is newly opened and not very big, but it employs a worker. I'm sure it's one of their own."
Luo Xingchao looked at Feng Shinian's confident assurances, but his heart was filled with turmoil and astonishment.
I never imagined that such a minor character, whom I had ignored and left aside, would actually discover the Kuomintang's contact point. Fortunately, I intercepted the information; otherwise, the consequences would have been unpredictable.
Huang Lihui was undoubtedly a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but was he specifically a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station, or a member of his own Shanghai intelligence department?
Luo Xingchao tends to believe that they are intelligence personnel from the Shanghai Station. As far as he knows, the main backbone of the newly formed Shanghai Station were all brought over by Chen Hongchi from the Beiping Station, and the timing also matches.
However, it's also possible that he's a member of the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau. After all, he knew nothing about the other aspects of the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau's capabilities. The Intelligence Bureau has been operating in Shanghai for so long, with its personnel infiltrating various levels of society. Could Huang Lihui be one of them? This possibility cannot be completely ruled out.
Of course, regardless of the reason, Feng Shinian, the informant, must be silenced. The danger must be nipped in the bud. With that in mind, he decided to ask him first.
Have you mentioned these situations to anyone else?
"No, I came directly to report to you and didn't mention it to any outsiders."
Where are your family members?
"No, I will absolutely keep my mouth shut and won't say a word about it, please rest assured!"
Hearing Feng Shinian's repeated assurances, Luo Xingchao finally felt relieved. For now, he still needed to keep Feng Shinian calm.
His expression softened, and he stood up, walked to Feng Shinian's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a kind tone, "Old Feng, I know your situation. To be honest, when I let you leave, I meant I gave you your freedom. You could stay or leave as you pleased, I never forced you. Now that you've come back willingly, that's naturally the best. Don't worry, I, Luo, will never treat my brothers unfairly. So..."
Luo Xingchao took out his key, turned around and took out a thick stack of banknotes from the safe next to him, placed them on the table, and then said to Feng Shinian: "This matter is of great importance and must be kept absolutely secret. From now on, you must not be left alone. I will arrange for someone to accompany you until the operation is over. This money is your resettlement fee. I will apply for the reward for you afterwards, and there will be no problem."
As for the sulfonamides you requested… you know, we can't get this drug through proper channels, and it's not available on the market. It can only be obtained on the black market, and the price is outrageously high. But don't worry, I'll find a way to get it for you, and it will be resolved quickly. How about it? Are you satisfied with my arrangement?”
Upon hearing this, Feng Shinian was overjoyed. Director Luo was approachable and considerate in every way, showing great sincerity. This result far exceeded his expectations. He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your care, Director. I am willing to follow all your instructions."
Luo Xingchao smiled slightly, picked up the banknotes on the table, and stuffed them into Feng Shinian's hand. He then said, "You haven't collected your salary for the past few months, have you? I'll have Section Chief Cui collect it for you. He'll arrange everything for you."
After saying that, he called Cui Yuanfeng, who was outside the door, in and gave him a few instructions in front of Feng Shinian. Cui Yuanfeng nodded and accepted the order, then quickly left with Feng Shinian.
Watching the two leave, Luo Xingchao's eyes flickered, and the murderous intent in his heart suddenly subsided. He secretly had an idea. Although this matter was a crisis, it was all under his control. In the end, it was a close call. However, if he could take it a step further and turn a bad thing into a good thing, it would not be a bad choice. Of course, he still needed to ask his superiors for instructions on the specific situation to see if it was feasible.
