After listening to Miao Yongyi's words, Uncle Quan nodded. This situation was not uncommon in the underground party organization. Undercover party members would change their work locations for various reasons, and their previous organizational relationships would have to be changed accordingly, which required very meticulous handover work.
"I need to confirm your situation with the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee. Will you be leaving Wuhan soon?" Uncle Quan asked.
"I can't be sure, but it's very likely I'll be leaving, which is why I'm in a hurry to contact my superiors. Once I leave Wuhan, I'll have no way to stay in touch!"
Uncle Quan was also in a dilemma after hearing this. This situation was a bit troublesome. He asked, "You just said that you would go to work in Changsha or Chongqing?"
"As I said, I can't be sure," Miao Yongyi replied carefully, trying not to reveal his identity.
Uncle Quan, a long-time underground party member with extensive experience in struggle, naturally sensed Miao Yongyi's concerns. The young man opposite him, codenamed Clock, held a second verification certificate that only the highest-ranking members possessed. His identity must be very important in the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, and he must be an infiltrator in a very important department of the Kuomintang. However, with government departments relocating to Chongqing, Clock was unsure of his location and feared losing contact, so he had to report to his superior for instructions.
In the blink of an eye, Uncle Quan had guessed eight or nine parts of Miao Yongyi's situation. He nodded and said, "Alright, Comrade Shizhen, you draft the telegram, and I will forward it to the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee immediately. Come here at this time tomorrow, and I will bring you the reply!"
Miao Yongyi quickly took out a pen from his shirt pocket, picked up a piece of paper, pondered for a moment, and then drafted a telegram to Uncle Quan.
"The boss has been transferred to headquarters. My whereabouts are uncertain, and I may lose contact. I await instructions. Time!"
Uncle Quan looked at the telegram and nodded. Shi Zhen was very careful; the telegram did not reveal any information. Only the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee could understand the true meaning of this telegram.
The telegram was very short. After writing it down, Uncle Quan took out a match, lit it, and burned the telegram.
Miao Yongyi shook hands with Uncle Quan and left the liaison point quickly.
That same evening, the Shanghai Municipal Committee also received a telegram from Wuhan. Only after receiving the telegram did Lin Hanwen realize that Miao Yongyi's return to Wuhan was a one-way trip, and he was directly transferred back to work at the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Miao Yongyi was an intelligence agent highly valued by Lin Hanwen. Due to the high entry requirements and strict vetting process in the early days of the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau, Miao Yongyi was the highest-ranking underground agent to have infiltrated the Bureau.
Miao Yongyi's situation is particularly special. He is a close confidant of Ning Zhiheng, the head of the Shanghai station of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Ning Zhiheng is a leading figure among the young officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau and will have an even higher position in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department in the future. As a result, Miao Yongyi's position will also become more and more important.
Indeed, this was the case. Miao Yongyi, who had only joined the intelligence station a year ago, was promoted two ranks under Ning Zhiheng’s deliberate promotion, becoming a junior officer and a key member of the military intelligence department.
All circumstances indicate Miao Yongyi's immense value as a hidden agent, so Lin Hanwen's order to Miao Yongyi is to lie low and not take any action unless it concerns top-secret intelligence about the underground party.
Although Miao Yongyi had not passed on a single piece of intelligence to the organization in the past year, Lin Hanwen did not mind at all. On the contrary, he was glad that he had taken proper protective measures for Miao Yongyi. He valued Miao Yongyi's future development.
Things are going better than he expected. The "boss" in the telegram is, of course, Ning Zhiheng, Miao Yongyi's backer in the Military Intelligence Bureau. With the Military Intelligence Bureau being upgraded to the Military Intelligence Bureau, Ning Zhiheng must have gained some benefits in this promotion, which is why he had the opportunity to be transferred back to headquarters from the local level. As his confidant, Miao Yongyi was naturally transferred along with him. Now, Miao Yongyi has finally successfully infiltrated the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and his infiltration value has been raised to another level. This is definitely a good thing, and he must report it. It seems that Miao Yongyi's leadership work will have to be handed over to the headquarters intelligence department.
Soon after, Miao Yongyi received a reply from Lin Hanwen: The situation is known. The clock is lying dormant, waiting to be awakened, scholar!
