Qingqing Zhengliang continued, "Mr. Li, I have some plans for Section Chief Luo Xingchao. He is an outstanding man, so I think he should have better opportunities at the Special Agent Headquarters. However, I heard that you don't seem to agree with him."
At this point, Qing Qingzhengliang narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Li Zhiqun, a sense of pressure making Li Zhiqun tense up.
Li Zhiqun inwardly groaned. It seemed he was right; Tsuchihara Keiji's departure had no effect on Luo Xingchao whatsoever. Haruki Masayoshi's meaning was clear: he believed that Li Zhiqun was intentionally trying to escape the surveillance of the Shadow Agency, and this was a warning to him.
Li Zhiqun quickly stood up, bowed, and explained, "Please forgive me. I lacked some understanding of Section Chief Luo before. I will definitely pay more attention to him in the future. His abilities are not a problem. I will make proper arrangements!"
Upon hearing Li Zhiqun's statement, Qing Qingzhengliang remained silent. Instead, he nodded to Secretary Zhuang, who was standing at the door. Li Zhiqun quickly turned around and scolded, "What are you all standing there for? Quickly invite Section Chief Luo in!"
Secretary Zhuang had witnessed the entire scene from beginning to end, and he was quite surprised. He secretly recalled whether he had offended Luo Xingchao in any way. It seemed that his attitude hadn't been very good when Luo Xingchao came to report on his work a few times before. He should be more careful today.
Upon hearing Li Zhiqun's instructions, he responded and hurriedly turned and left, quickly leading Luo Xingchao, who was waiting outside, in with a courteous manner.
Luo Xingchao seemed oblivious to everything. He quickly took a few steps and bowed respectfully to the two people in the room.
"Colonel!"
"director!"
At this moment, Li Zhiqun, contrary to his usual seriousness, replied with a smile, "Section Chief Luo, we're all family. You can report to me directly if there's anything going on in the future. Don't be too reserved!"
When Luo Xingchao received Qingqing Zhengliang's notice to meet Li Zhiqun, he knew that this conversation was Qingqing Zhengliang's way of fulfilling his previous promise to him and improving his awkward situation at the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters. Otherwise, he would be too constrained to act as an informant for the Yingzuo Agency. To put it bluntly, even if he was just a figurehead, he had to be placed in a good position. Otherwise, where would the Japanese put their face?
Luo Xingchao was not surprised at all by Li Zhiqun's sudden show of goodwill. He bowed respectfully to Li Zhiqun and said, "It is all thanks to the director's care. I will certainly follow the director's orders and do whatever the director commands!"
Despite the presence of Qingqing Zhengliang, Luo Xingchao still maintained a humble attitude, showing no sign of arrogance. This pleased Li Zhiqun, as it saved him some face in front of the Japanese. He thought to himself that Luo Xingchao was a sensible person and that they could get along well in the future. Otherwise, if he encountered a troublemaker, he would probably have a lot of headaches!
Haruki Masayoshi also laughed. His purpose was to give Li Zhiqun a warning and make him understand that even though No. 76 had been transformed into the intelligence department of the new government, it was still under the leadership of the Japanese. Without the support of the Kagesa Agency, Li Zhiqun was nothing.
"Li Jun, Section Chief Luo is diligent in his work, but more importantly, he is loyal to the Empire and has always worked hard without complaint. You may not know that Section Chief Luo was already one of our men before the Battle of Shanghai. In terms of seniority, he is far superior to you. However, over the years, he has always obeyed our arrangements unconditionally without the slightest complaint. I hope you can learn from this and not let down Chief Yingzuo and me!"
Qing Qingzhengliang's words immediately shocked Li Zhiqun, who almost cried out in shock, and his back was covered in cold sweat!
Luo Xingchao! This guy was hiding his true identity so well!
Qingqing Zhengliang was right. A Japanese spy with far more seniority than him, who had infiltrated the Military Intelligence Bureau before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, was now standing respectfully in front of him. The seemingly harmless smile on his face now looked terrifying.
Damn, what a ruthless character with enough patience! Needless to say, this guy was previously a spy planted by the Japanese in the Special Agent Investigation Department, right next to Wen Hao. Now it's his turn!
At this point, Li Zhiqun's perception of Luo Xingchao had completely reversed; clearly, the Japanese believed Luo Xingchao more than he did.
If the Japanese hadn't recognized his abilities, he and Luo Xingchao might be in the opposite position right now. Thinking of this, Li Zhiqun's smile became even more gentle. He stood up, stepped forward, and warmly shook Luo Xingchao's hand, saying with emotion, "I've been disrespectful, Section Chief Luo. You've really been wronged!"
Luo Xingchao bowed slightly and said with a smile, "Not at all, Director, you're too kind. It's all for the sake of the Empire, and it's only right that I do this!"
Luo Xingchao's attitude made Li Zhiqun take it even more seriously. He turned to Qing Qingzhengliang and asked, "Colonel, I think it would be appropriate to give the position of Director of the First Division to Section Chief Luo."
Li Zhiqun had a good plan. Luo Xingchao was Qing Qingzhengliang's informant, so he naturally had to treat him well and at the very least arrange a good position for him. That Zhang Mingshi was out of touch with reality and started currying favor with Ding Mo as soon as he entered the Special Agent Headquarters. He was getting annoyed by him, so he might as well find an opportunity to replace him. This would also be a way of giving Qing Qingzhengliang face. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?
Qing Qingzhengliang waved his hand and said directly, "Li Jun, Section Chief Luo's arrangements shouldn't be too conspicuous. I'm not targeting you, otherwise I wouldn't have made it clear to you. The Special Agent Headquarters is developing too fast now, and the personnel are of varying quality. There are many situations that you may not be able to fully grasp. We are doing this just in case. Therefore, Section Chief Luo's position does not need to be adjusted. I just want you to cooperate in your work and not hinder each other. Do you understand?"
