Wen Hao nodded slightly, forcing a smile, and said, "Takeshita-kun, my body hasn't fully recovered yet. I'm so grateful for your care along the way, otherwise I would have really suffered."
This man was Wen Hao, the head of the intelligence group of the Nanjing Investigation Office of the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department. He was captured by the Japanese military when he fled Nanjing. He thought he was going to die, but his subordinates who were captured with him revealed his identity.
Once the Japanese military intelligence personnel learned of his identity, they quickly took him away. What followed was endless torture until one day this veteran agent could no longer endure it and surrendered. He was then quickly taken over by the Special Higher Police, who came from Shanghai.
Because when Wen Hao was captured, his two action team leaders, Duan Xingzhou and Guo Ming, managed to escape, which rendered Wen Hao worthless as an undercover agent. After being imprisoned in Nanjing for a month, he was taken back to Shanghai by Akita Akihito.
Looking at the young Japanese agent opposite him, Wen Hao couldn't help but feel a little strange. With his years of experience in intelligence work, he could clearly see that this young man had never received any special agent training.
Not only was his skin fair, but his palms were also free of calluses. His steps were unsteady when he moved, and his eyes darted around as he spoke. He was too lively and shrewd. He was a clever but impatient young man.
However, he dared not be the slightest bit underestimating him. Of the several agents who initially received him, only this one returned after going to Wuhan. If he was not mistaken, the other agents who were fluent in Chinese had all been left in Wuhan and remained in hiding.
Only Takeshita Shinya followed Akita Akihito the whole time, and he seemed very casual with Akita Akihito. It was clear that their relationship was not just that of a superior and subordinate. In fact, he felt that Akita Akihito was quite indulgent and doting on this young man.
It's a pity I don't understand Japanese, otherwise I would have been able to understand their conversation!
He Siming asked with a smile, "Wen Sang, please forgive my bluntness, but I've only ever heard of the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the Chinese government before. Can you tell me the difference between your Central Party Affairs Investigation Bureau and the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau? Or are they essentially the same thing?"
Upon hearing He Siming's question, Wen Hao was taken aback. This Takeshita Shinya didn't even know this situation. He really didn't know how his instructor trained him.
He Siming was also quite embarrassed. He said in a low voice, "I was a student of Professor Akita before, and I was only specially recruited into the Special Higher Police a few months ago. I am somewhat unfamiliar with the Chinese intelligence agencies, so I am not very familiar with the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department where you are located?"
So that's how it is! Wen Hao finally understood that Takeshita Shinya and Akita Akihito were actually teacher and student, and that Takeshita Shinya was a greenhorn who had just been specially recruited into the Special Higher Police a few months ago. No wonder he didn't know anything about it.
He smiled faintly and explained, "Simply put, the Central Party Affairs Investigation Bureau is an intelligence agency targeting internal government functions, while the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau is an external intelligence agency, meaning it targets you."
"No, no, Wen Sang, it's us!" He Siming pointed to himself, then to Wen Hao, and said with a smile.
Wen Hao quickly said, "Yes, yes, Mr. Takeshita, I misspoke! It was aimed at our intelligence department, so our Special Higher Police's main adversary is the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau, while we have very little contact with the Party Affairs Investigation Bureau. No wonder Mr. Takeshita is not very clear about it."
Just as He Siming was about to speak again, the phone on the table rang. He picked it up and heard his teacher's voice. He answered repeatedly and quickly put the phone down.
Then he turned to Wen Hao and said seriously, "Wen-san, Section Chief Sagawa wants to see you in person. This meeting is very important. You must perform well. Your future depends on Section Chief Sagawa's decision. You must be careful!"
He Siming's words startled Wen Hao. He was about to meet with Japan's top intelligence chief. Fortunately, he was an extremely calm and capable man with great self-control. He stood up, bowed, and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Takeshita. I will be careful."
He Siming nodded and said, "It's good that you know what's going on. Please come with me!"
