After separating from An Jingzhi, Lin Zhaohai returned to the secret service office.
Sitting in my office, I felt uneasy.
"Director. Director?"
The person who was reporting to Lin Zhaohai finished telling him about his suspected target and actions, and when he found that Lin Zhaohai had no reaction, he called out to him twice.
Lin Zhaohai suddenly came to his senses as if he had woken up from a dream.
"Oh, Xiao Zhang, are you done? Okay, leave your things here and go down first."
"Yes, Director." The young man called Xiao Zhang handed the paper in his hand to the other party, respectfully left Lin Zhaohai's office, and gently closed the door.
The entire secret service was in a state of nervousness. Everyone knew that their director had been tricked by the Japanese and might have to take the blame. Everyone was worried that they would become the scapegoat dragged down by Lin Zhaohai.
A colleague also died today. Lin Zhaohai announced to the public that when he and the colleague were on a mission outside, they encountered a spy who was trying to assassinate him. The colleague died to protect him. He looked very sad and promised to give the colleague's family resettlement expenses.
No one would believe what he said. Why did he die the day after the incident when he could have died? No one knew what kind of person Lin Zhaohai was better than the agents who worked under him.
Looking at the other person's heartbroken expression, everyone knew that this person was pretending to be sympathetic, but they had to pretend to be moved. Some smart ones even expressed their admiration for Lin Zhaohai on the spot, admired his care for his subordinates, and declared their loyalty to Lin Zhaohai.
Xiao Zhang was one of them. Lin Zhaohai promoted him to the position of operations captain of the temporary operations department, replacing the position of the deceased man.
He had just reported to Lin Zhaohai some information about the underground party, as well as a detailed action report. He was ready to show off in front of Lin Zhaohai.
Although Lin Zhaohai messed things up and was made a scapegoat by the Japanese, the facts were not yet determined. If he joined the other side now, it would be like providing timely assistance. If Lin Zhaohai could stabilize his position, he would finally have found a backer in the future.
Moreover, his position in Lin Zhaohai's heart must be higher than that of others. After all, helping someone in need is more trustworthy than adding icing on the cake.
If he lost the bet, the worst that could happen was that he would continue to be an ordinary member of his action team, which would not be a big loss for him.
But Lin Zhaohai seemed a little difficult to get along with at the moment. He had lost his temper many times in one afternoon, and he was trembling with fear when he went in to report on the operation.
Nearing the end of get off work.
Someone suddenly visited the Secret Service.
Fujita Hisashi came to the secret service department with several island soldiers with an expressionless face. When the guard at the door saw their clothes, he didn't even dare to stop them and let them pass.
Fujita walked to the lobby of the Secret Service Department and casually called over someone, who happened to be Xiao Zhang. "You, lead the way to find Director Lin."
Xiao Zhang bowed and said with a smile, "Madam, please follow me."
Xiao Zhang led the way. As they were about to reach Lin Zhaohai's office, he suddenly asked in a loud voice, "What's your name, Madam?"
Fujita looked at him contemptuously and did not respond.
A soldier came out from behind him and shouted, "Baga! Who do you think you are? How dare you ask such questions?"
Xiao Zhang bent down and apologized: "Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Madam." As he spoke, he slapped his face with his hands.
Fujita ignored him and saw the door of Lin Zhaohai's office. He waved his hand and asked him to go down.
When the island soldier was shouting loudly, Lin Zhaohai had already heard the noise outside.
When Fujita pushed the door open, Lin Zhaohai was sitting upright at his desk, looking like he was handling official documents.
Seeing Fujita suddenly push the door open, he stood up in surprise and said, "It's Fujita-kun. Please take a seat."
Fujita was not polite. The island soldiers who came with him were standing guard at the door. After he entered, he closed the door and sat directly in front of Lin Zhaohai.
He stared coldly into the other person's eyes, not saying anything for a long time.
Lin Zhaohai saw that the other party seemed to have some bad intentions and couldn't figure out what he was trying to say. The other party didn't speak, and he didn't take the initiative to speak either.
Suddenly, Fujita's voice was heard in the room.
"Director Lin, you have a really good method. I didn't expect you could even get in touch with Shinjo-kun."
Xinchengjun? Lin Zhaohai thought for two seconds before realizing that this was An Jingzhi's Japanese name. He used his Chinese name when communicating with him.
After he came to his senses, he looked at Fujita's expression and felt happy. Has An Jingzhi already visited the old ghost Tanaka?
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, Fujita-kun. Didn't I also get to know Mr. Shinjo through the General?"
Fujita Hisashi knew that Lin Zhaohai was talking about the time he helped Xin Chengyuan find his sister.
Seeing the other party's confident victory, Fujita Hisashi said coldly, "This time, for Shinjo-kun's sake, the general has decided to let you go. Don't be too proud. If there's a next time, no one can save you!"
Originally, he was inclined to protect his own people. In addition, Lieutenant Takeda also gave him a lot of things, so he kept speaking for Takeda in front of Tanaka and put most of the blame on Lin Zhaohai. Who would have thought that Xin Chengyuan suddenly visited and pleaded for Lin Zhaohai, which made the general suddenly let him go.
Since Lin Zhaohai was fine, the blame had to be borne by Lieutenant Takeda. He spent a lot of time and effort to get General Tanaka to give Lieutenant Takeda a lighter punishment.
And because he wanted to protect Takeda, or rather, to protect the small yellow croaker that Takeda gave him, his bias was too obvious when he defended himself, and he was scolded by Tanaka.
Although Tanaka also looked down on these Chinese people who defected to them, he needed them to serve them and needed their abilities. When it came to catching Chinese spies, these people were indeed more convenient than them. The Chinese people understood the Chinese best.
Therefore, in public, he would try his best to appear to be doing his best, but if his confidants acted like they hated the Chinese and favored their own people, others would think it was Tanaka's idea.
Those Chinese people may become passive and lazy when seeing this, which will be detrimental to the country's overall strategic actions.
This is also why Fujita Hisashi looks so cold. All his power comes from Tanaka. If Tanaka no longer trusts him, then he is nothing.
Lin Zhaohai had been in the political arena for many years and was not frightened by the other party's cold tone.
Still politely said: "Lin will definitely be careful in the future and clearly divide responsibilities before doing anything."
Fujita Hisashi glared and pointed at the other party, "How dare you!" Isn't Lin Zhaohai saying that he deliberately let the other party take the blame and favor his own people?
He can do it, but the other party can't say it!
Lin Zhaohai took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Why is Mr. Fujita so angry? Did I say anything disrespectful?"
