Then the bat was ambushed, but fortunately, an unknown force suddenly appeared, severely injuring the special agents and alerting the bat in time, thus rescuing it.
When Yu Mingyuan asked him, Lin Hanwen was completely baffled.
“That’s impossible. Our armed personnel would not act without my orders. Besides, the existence of the bats is top secret. People on other work lines would have no way of knowing about it, so how could they possibly go to rescue them? This was not done by our people.”
The existence of the bat was known only to Lin Hanwen and Yu Mingyuan within the underground party organization. Yu Mingyuan couldn't help but ask in surprise, "It wasn't one of our people who did it? Then who could it be? Could it be that the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics discovered the traitor and launched an operation to eliminate him?"
Lin Hanwen shook his head and said, "It's unlikely. All the Kuomintang agents in Shanghai have been arrested by the Japanese. Only Bat escaped with our help. This time, he was meeting with the new leader of the undercover team, but the time and place of the meeting were exposed. This undercover team must have run into trouble and is barely safe themselves."
Suddenly he thought of someone: there was a Kuomintang agent lurking in Shanghai, even within the Special Operations Department, who was the most mysterious shadow among the party's lurking agents!
Shadow had specifically notified the Shanghai underground party that a man surnamed Sun had been arrested and defected, and asked the underground party organization to investigate and confirm the man's identity.
Lin Hanwen also analyzed that Shadow was very likely a high-ranking agent of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics who had disguised himself as a defector and infiltrated the Special Agent Department.
Even before the war, during the Nanjing period, Shadow was able to channel huge sums of money into the Nanjing underground party organization and transmit top-secret intelligence that only high-ranking members of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Zhongtong Bureau) could know.
Even after arriving in Shanghai, he was still able to transfer huge sums of money to the underground party twice. At the same time, within hours of Sun Xiangde's arrest, he found out everything about Sun Xiangde. All of this demonstrates Shadow's ability and status.
Based on analysis from all aspects, the Shadow's hidden identity is definitely not that of an unknown nobody!
Yes, that must be it. Only the Shadow's identity meets so many conditions.
He was infiltrated into the intelligence department and learned immediately that the man surnamed Sun had been arrested and defected to the enemy. He even sent a special message to the organization to verify the man's true identity.
Unfortunately, he only conducted the investigation within the organization and did not notify Bat. The organization and Bat cannot easily contact each other without important intelligence, and Bat did not know the specific identity of the person he was in contact with.
Later, Shadow discovered the true identity of the man surnamed Sun, and that the person he was about to lure was Bat, a senior agent of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS), as well as the time and place of their rendezvous. As a senior CBIS agent himself, he naturally had to take contingency measures to rescue Bat, who was also a CBIS agent.
It has to be said that, apart from a few minor details, Lin Hanwen guessed the whole thing correctly!
There was indeed a high-ranking agent named Muyu lurking in the Special Operations Department. As the head of the Intelligence Section, Luo Xingchao was not only a high-ranking cadre in the Special Operations Department, but also, under the authorization of the Japanese, he could monitor the actions of the Special Operations Department's agents. His position in the Special Operations Department was indeed not low, and even quite special.
He relayed the message, which prompted Ning Zhiheng to decide to rescue him. However, Ning Zhiheng was unaware of Bat's true identity and ended up accidentally saving his comrade.
Lin Hanwen felt more and more certain that his judgment was correct. It was all the work of Shadow. So he was reassured and said to Yu Mingyuan, "Don't worry about these things now. Our most important thing right now is to ensure Bat's safety. He has escaped another disaster this time, which is lucky. The Japanese are investigating him very seriously right now. Let him lie low for a while and start working again after things have calmed down."
Yu Mingyuan nodded and said, "He was in great danger this time too. Although the Special Operations Department did not catch him on the spot, he still slipped through during the subsequent blockade and search. Fortunately, he had the identity of an intelligence agent for the Iwai Mansion, so the agents of the Special Operations Department had no choice but to let him go."
Lin Hanwen's heart tightened, and he asked urgently, "Your whereabouts were leaked, why didn't you report it earlier?"
Upon hearing Lin Hanwen's question, Yu Mingyuan quickly explained, "After the explosion, the agents from the Special Operations Department reacted very quickly and immediately blocked off the streets. Bat didn't have time to escape and had to reveal his identity after the search. Fortunately, he wasn't caught on the spot, otherwise he would have been completely exposed!"
