Luo Wuqing suddenly became interested and asked, "So this place was set up by the intelligence department. You've thought of everything. I wonder if you've seen Chief Huo?"
Wei Xuehai said, "I haven't met them, but the station chief and Director Duan have. The intelligence personnel are very mysterious. They don't contact us at all and only show up when needed. But one thing is certain: they have great power in Shanghai. If we can get their assistance, our chances of success in the next operation will be much greater."
Luo Wuqing and Wu Huarong exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly. The headquarters' instructions were clear: the intelligence department would not be involved in this assassination attempt; everything had to be done by themselves.
They are now trapped here, surrounded by Japanese military police and secret agents. They can't do anything about it and have lost contact with the concession. They can only wait passively.
At this moment, farmer Xia Deyan finally met Lin Hanwen through an emergency channel and handed the paper to him.
“This is urgent intelligence from Shadow. He can’t confirm the traitor’s identity and wants us to give him a reply as soon as possible so he can decide on the next steps,” Xia Deyan said in a low voice.
After reading the contents, Lin Hanwen was also puzzled. There was an important figure in the underground party with the surname Sun, but he was still in the French Concession and not in the city. Of course, the surname was not reliable, since underground workers usually used aliases.
However, in intelligence work, it is better to believe it exists than not to believe it doesn't. Since the shadow has issued a warning, we must conduct a self-examination immediately and not be careless or negligent in the slightest.
Lin Hanwen said to Xia Deyan, "It seems that Shadow has very likely infiltrated this newly established intelligence department. According to our information, this intelligence department has just been established, and its main members are all traitors from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS). They also have many CBIS agents who have defected to the enemy. If we analyze it this way, Shadow should be hiding among these CBIS traitors. The fact that he was able to find out this intelligence so quickly means that he must be of a high position."
Xia Deyan shook his head and said, "Didn't you say last time that Shadow wasn't a Central Bureau of Investigation agent?"
Lin Hanwen was taken aback, scratched his head, and said uncertainly, "Anyway, it can't be an active agent of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS), otherwise we would definitely know. So I judge that Shadow was ordered by the CBIS to pretend to surrender to the Japanese and infiltrate the current intelligence department. In that case, it matches the situation you described earlier."
Lin Hanwen's analysis made a lot of sense, and Xia Deyan somewhat agreed. He continued, "This is the first time Shadow has asked us to respond. You should publish the missing person notice as soon as possible. He must be anxiously waiting for our news."
“Okay, I will investigate immediately. Once I have the results, I will publish a missing person notice. Actually, I think the traitor is most likely from the Military Intelligence Bureau. Our people have been infiltrating for a long time and have done a very thorough job of concealing their identities. It is difficult for the Japanese to find any flaws. However, the Military Intelligence Bureau has infiltrated a lot of its agents because of the pursuit of their vice president. They have been making a lot of moves these past few days, and this large-scale search is for that reason,” Lin Hanwen said.
"Could it be the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics?" Xia Deyan asked.
Lin Hanwen shook his head and replied, "The Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics's infiltrator team has been completely wiped out, unless it was a newly infiltrated team member, but that's unlikely."
Xia Deyan and Lin Hanwen discussed it several times, but they couldn't get to the point. Everything needed to be confirmed before a conclusion could be reached, so they stopped talking.
Looking at the suitcase full of US dollars, Lin Hanwen couldn't help but chuckle and said, "How much is this? The funds Shadow sent last time were a huge help. We bought a lot of medicine and supplies, which gave the troops on the mountain a much-needed breather. Otherwise, the losses would have been enormous!"
Xia Deyan smiled slightly and replied, "Another eighty thousand US dollars!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Hanwen's spirits lifted, and he couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Good heavens, that's enough for us to buy several more batches of supplies! Old Xia, you've brought a real windfall to our comrades in Shanghai!"
