Hearing Bian Deshou's tone, Gu Zhengqing knew that this decision was irresistible. The Military Intelligence Bureau had strict military laws, and even though he was a member of the decryption team, he still had to obey the orders of his superiors. At this moment, despite his reluctance, he could only nod and accept the order.
Bian Deshou continued, "Make the arrangements. The training course is a closed program. Once you're in, you'll be isolated from the outside world for a long time. You won't be able to communicate or make phone calls. So, take care of your own affairs and explain things clearly to your family. Don't let any problems arise."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhengqing asked in surprise, "Why is it so strict? Does that mean I won't even be able to go home?"
Bian Deshou said dismissively, "We are the Military Intelligence Bureau. Don't you know the secrecy regulations? Don't ask too many questions. Besides, you're all alone, so you have fewer worries. Even An Yuanwei, who has a family, didn't say anything. Alright, go back and prepare. There will be a car to take you tomorrow."
Upon hearing Bian Deshou's reply, Gu Zhengqing shook his head helplessly, then got up, said goodbye, and left.
Watching Gu Zhengqing leave, Bian Deshou finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he wasn't a professional agent, and his acting was rather poor. However, he managed to complete the task Ning Zhiheng had given him.
Ning Zhiheng was testing Gu Zhengqing. If he really was the mole, then such a big thing as being transferred from the decryption team would have to be reported to his superior. You see, the most valuable thing about this mole is his identity, his identity as an expert in the decryption team. Once he leaves this position, it will be difficult for him to access high-level secrets. Wouldn't he become just a nobody? That would be a huge loss for the Japanese spy organization, and the Japanese spy organization would definitely react.
Gu Zhengqing returned to his office, thought for a long time, then got up and went to another office to find his colleague An Yuanwei.
An Yuanwei, in his forties, with short hair and a short beard, looked somewhat unkempt. He was packing his belongings with a gloomy face. When he saw Gu Zhengqing come in, he simply nodded and did not say anything.
Gu Zhengqing stepped forward and asked softly, "Old An, did the director tell you about us becoming teachers?"
An Yuanwei nodded heavily, but still didn't say anything.
"What kind of situation is this? Suddenly they're making us do these things, and I heard we're not allowed to contact the outside world. Isn't this just like going to jail?" Gu Zhengqing sighed, plopped down in a chair, and said angrily.
An Yuanwei said in a muffled voice, "Just admit it. This is the Military Intelligence Bureau. Do you dare to disobey orders? Just bear with it for a while. Right now, everyone is in a state of panic, and the work is completely chaotic with no progress. They might even dismantle us."
Gu Zhengqing's eyes widened in astonishment as he asked, "Is this even possible? Impossible! If we're disbanded, who will decipher the code?"
An Yuanwei curled his lip and said in a low voice, "We're not popular anymore. With Team Leader Yi dead, headquarters doesn't value us anymore. I heard they're planning to invite Americans to help us set up a new Black Room. It's possible that when we come back, the Americans will be in charge here."
At this point, An Yuanwei sighed softly. For them, joining the Military Intelligence Bureau meant that in this chaotic world, at least they had a place to stay. They were given priority in receiving living supplies, and their families didn't have to wander from place to place. Their lives were always guaranteed.
Without this job, even with a wealth of knowledge, how would people like them survive if schools were closed and even university professors couldn't be paid?
Gu Zhengqing was startled and quickly asked, "Is there such a thing? Who told you this?"
"Just now, the director called me over. I overheard him on the phone at the door, saying that some American expert who deciphers codes is coming to our place soon to take charge of our work. I have to go home to take care of some family matters. You should also go home and make some arrangements. Once we leave tomorrow, we don't know when we'll be back."
"Oh, okay, okay! I need to go home and make some arrangements too." Gu Zhengqing realized what was happening and nodded in agreement. He quickly tidied up and left the decryption room.
