This was an arrangement for him to manage the library in the future. Fukui Yuuma was overjoyed to hear this, and he quickly bowed and said, "Please rest assured, Fujiwara-kun, no, please rest assured, Chairman, I will do my best to complete this task and restore the library to its original state. I will never let you down!"
The two had a pleasant conversation and then toured the renovation of the Nanwu Bookstore. Fukui Yusei officially took over the work, and Ning Zhiheng asked him to try to find the old employees and invite them back to work.
In an office within a separate compound belonging to the Special Higher Police, Luo Xingchao, a former agent of the Shanghai intelligence station, was sitting opposite Imai Yuji.
"Luo Sang, based on your observations over this period of time, do you think these Chinese agents can work for us?" Imai Yuji asked.
Luo Xingchao bowed and replied, "Team leader, these people are cooperating so far, so I don't think there will be any problems. The rules of the Military Intelligence Bureau are very strict. Anyone who defectes to the enemy is guilty of a capital offense. To put it bluntly, they are all on the assassination list now. The Military Intelligence Bureau's anti-traitor team may be waiting outside. How could they dare to have any disloyal thoughts!"
Of the thirty-three intelligence agents captured this time, two died from their injuries, three chose death over surrender and committed suicide, and the remaining twenty-eight became traitors. They have been held in solitary confinement by Yuji Imai for half a month.
During this period, Luo Xingchao, who had already been turned by the Japanese, naturally became an informant planted by Imai Yuji, responsible for monitoring these intelligence station agents who had already defected to the enemy and reporting their every move to Imai Yuji.
Yuji Imai knew that these people would be released sooner or later, and that a new department would be formed according to Section Chief Sagawa's intentions, so he wanted to use this time to conduct a final screening.
“The Chinese are not so simple-minded. I worry that some of them might feign surrender, like Qi Jingwu did a year ago. Those are the most dangerous people.” Imai Yuji frowned deeply; he had learned this the hard way. “What is their attitude towards Choi Kwang-ki?”
Luo Xingchao said with a wry smile, "At first they were a little resistant, but they've calmed down a lot these past few days and have been carrying out Captain Cui's orders quite well. They'll gradually get used to it. Don't worry, they all have irrefutable evidence of surrender, there's no turning back. What other way out do they have but to serve us? Unless they don't want to live anymore. But if they really had that determination, they wouldn't have surrendered!"
Yuji Imai nodded, then instructed, "Luo-san, you must remain vigilant and notify me immediately if you spot anyone suspicious!"
"Hi!"
As Luo Xingchao walked out of the office, he crossed the corridor, pushed open a small door, and went outside to a drill ground. The intelligence station's agents were scattered in twos and threes in the corners, and armed Japanese soldiers guarded the high courtyard walls, patrolling back and forth.
Luo Xingchao walked along the wall for a while and came to the side of the four agents. When the four turned around and saw that it was Luo Xingchao, they quickly surrounded him.
"Team leader, where did you go? You disappeared in the blink of an eye!" Cui Yuanfeng asked in a low voice.
“I went to check out the surroundings. The Japanese have kept us locked up here for so long, I don’t know what they’re up to. We have to be prepared!” Luo Xingchao said softly.
The four people next to him were all members of his action team. His team originally had eight members, but during the arrest, they resisted fiercely and three of them were killed. Another one died from his injuries after being arrested, leaving only the four in front of him. None of them could withstand the torture and electric chair used by the Japanese and they all surrendered!
Cui Guangqi's betrayal caused heavy losses to the intelligence station's agents. The sacrifice of comrades and colleagues, and the betrayal of loyalty and faith, created an irreparable rift among these agents. They no longer trusted each other and were wary of one another. Those who were close to each other formed their own small groups, and Luo Xingchao was the leader of this small group.
