The wind is coming, the clouds are coming, and we are praying harder for rain. For ordinary citizens, these are the most important things.
"The Japanese were decisive enough to cut off the tail immediately. Almost all the intelligence officers on the list who had worked hard to insert them were withdrawn."
"Response so quickly? It seems that a lot of effort has been put into the foreigners!" Hearing what Sha Ruhai said, Shi Baocun raised his eyebrows.
"It's still controllable! At least all the people on the list have not been recalled, and the detailed list should not have been obtained."
Sha Ronghai was also a little helpless. Although he had expected that these people had been involved together and there was no way that they had not been infiltrated internally, this result still made him a little worried.
The problem naturally lies with the foreigners. This is for sure. The Intelligence Office does not know the specific actions here. The order given by Lin Mo is only to resume contact with the foreigners according to the situation.
Lin Mo hasn't even decided on a specific time, and it's up to them to decide whether to take follow-up actions based on the situation. Therefore, the people in the intelligence department who know about it are their group of people. They are all brothers here. How can they not believe it?
"That's not necessarily true! You can't say for sure. Those things were left deliberately to deceive others." Shi Baocun was not so optimistic and was a little worried.
"It shouldn't be possible!" Sha Ranhai shook his head and said, "After some checking, the identities of the remaining people on the list are all extremely secret, and they should be wary of foreigners and deliberately avoid them.
And one of them, according to my judgment, has the opportunity to come into contact with some extremely important information. The most important thing is that these people seem to have climbed to this height step by step through their own abilities. This kind of person will not be left behind easily.
"
Shi Baocun also nodded in approval, but changed the topic and said: "But it's still not certain, mainly because the information we have is limited. These cannot be confirmed yet, and maybe the person who submitted the list is more important?
But that doesn’t make sense. If it’s really so important, he should have been able to predict the delay, so his more reasonable choice would be not to pass on this information.”
Sha Ruhai also frowned, thought carefully for a while, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "If we continue with this inference, the problems will only be endless. It is true that we have too little information about the situation to make a conclusion.
Forget it, this is someone else's business. Let the foreigners know and let them worry about it. Let's think about how to carry out the next mission after these people withdraw!"
"...Yes..." Shi Baocun nodded and asked: "What are your thoughts on the future arrangements? I feel that the foreigners are being watched more closely at the moment, and it is not safe to handle matters related to them."
Sha Renhai also nodded and said: "Actually, I feel that any action is fine now, or even no action at all. After the previous actions, no matter what action we take now, the Japanese will most likely guess in all aspects, and even make guesses.
Also full of doubts.
At present, it is difficult to guide the other party in a targeted manner. Whether we take action or not, the other party will be suspicious in all aspects. It does not matter whether we take action or not. The most important thing is to ensure our safety and confidentiality of our whereabouts.
Then wait quietly for the plan to start, and then carry out the tasks arranged by Team Lin. This is what we need to consider and plan most at the moment. The rest are secondary. It doesn't matter if we can do it smoothly. If it may affect the task, then
It should be given up decisively.”
"...Well..." Shi Baocun nodded seriously this time and said: "Speaking of the mission, I have a little understanding. Captain Lin's hands this time are really huge!"
Shi Baocun finally couldn't help but speak, his face full of admiration, but also mixed with a bit of anxiety and worry. The fact was so big that he couldn't help but want to talk to Sha Ruhai.
Sha Ronghai frowned and said, "Didn't Captain Lin tell us not to pry around? Captain Lin could reveal this information to the two of us in advance, which is a trust in us. We can't live up to this trust!"
"
Seeing this, Shi Baocun smiled bitterly and said: "I thought I could bear it in my heart, but I really overestimated myself. But don't worry, I won't pry through others.
I just couldn't help but be curious at night, so I looked through a few old newspapers and realized the target chosen by Team Lin. Apart from what I mentioned to you now, I haven't revealed anything about it."
Sha Ruhai nodded, not as curious as Shi Baocun. He didn't want to make himself panic because of a little curiosity. Team Lin had solemnly reminded him when he assigned the task, so he should remember it!
Because they need to make a complete set of preparations for follow-up operations, and there are a large number of gang members active in the city, so they cannot be careless even if they are exhausted.
In order to avoid any mistakes, Lin Mo also informed several people about their tasks in the follow-up operations, so that they could have some idea and pay attention to the appropriateness in the arrangement.
Of course, what was told was only a small part of the plan. Without curiosity, the two of them could only know it but not know why. Even so, Lin Mo still gave a serious warning.
To be honest, Lin Mo also believed in the two of them and only got a little bit of news out of it. Although the tasks assigned to the two of them in this operation were not very good, they were allowed to make decisions on their own most of the time. In fact, this was also a kind of training to be independent.
direction to cultivate.
Who would have thought that Shi Baocun's heart could be so itchy? Fortunately, he could barely hold himself steady, without being overwhelmed or panicked. Although he was a little unsure, he was not hopeless.
In fact, Lin Mo did not disclose the plan to others. A large part of the reason was because he was worried about this aspect, fearing that it would affect the mentality of his subordinates and make him feel uneasy about something going wrong.
Sha and Shi discussed the next work arrangements, during which Shi Baocun was still somewhat emotional. Sha Ruhai was a little uneasy about his state and suggested that the two of them try not to act separately again.
Shi Baocun agreed without thinking. He was worried too! This matter only affected him. If it really affected the plan because of him, then he really didn't know how to face Captain Lin.

"Gentlemen, please come inside first..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Three slightly younger men walked into a slightly deserted silver building, one in front of the other and two behind, looking like one master and two subordinates.
Before he even entered the door, a waiter came quickly from the window and greeted him warmly. He could see clearly just now that several gentlemen came by car.
After being taken to a guest room on one side and served with refreshments, the waiter asked the master what the purpose of his visit was.
"I have some scattered gold on hand, and I want to replace it with gold-marked gold bars. That thing is more pleasing to the eye when used and stored."
"...No problem..." Although I felt a little disappointed, the profit from the replacement was not as big as buying and selling customized gold and silver jewelry.
But the waiter still had a smile on his face and nodded to indicate that there was no problem. However, he did not leave immediately. He had to confirm that the person in front of him had no other problems before he would talk to the shopkeeper or others.
"I'm talking about 978-quality gold-marked gold bars. The store should have them, right?"
"...Some, some..." The clerk nodded in agreement and said, "The store has gold of all colors, styles, and specifications, so the boss can rest assured."
The waiter entertained the guest warmly for a while, and after confirming that the visitor had no more questions, he excused himself and called the shopkeeper over.
"Bosses, I am the shopkeeper of our bank. Thank you for your trust in our bank. What should I call you?"
"No need to be too polite. My surname is Chen. I can call you Boss Chen, Mr. Chen. I don't need to be too polite. I do have a lot of business, but I don't know if your house can handle it?"
As he said it, the man was indeed rude in action. He motioned to the men next to him, put the small suitcase he had brought on the table, opened it, and revealed the gold inside.
The pieces are about the size of a mung bean cake, and they are not neat and full of cutting marks. They look like they were cut into small pieces by large pliers.
The shopkeeper's eyelids jumped wildly when he saw it. To be honest, he hadn't seen such a big business in a long time, but this business was a bit weird.
He took a quick look at the gold, and he roughly knew it was real gold. The fineness was slightly higher than the standard gold, and the amount was about ten kilograms.
"When I was doing business with someone before, the other party paid with a big gold nugget. I was a little worried about the gold, so I had it cut open. There was no problem, but it was inconvenient to spend it this way, and it was not pleasing to the eye when I kept it.
Could you please help me replace it?"
The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly. Although he had a rough idea in his mind, he would never be careless. He called the waiter who was a little dazed and asked him to fetch various tools.
After weighing, it was about ten and a half kilograms. I confirmed with the customer that it was correct, and asked again. After getting permission, the shopkeeper took the scissors and cut the edges piece by piece to confirm. He even used a small guillotine to cut the whole piece with force.
Open to confirm.
During the cutting process, the shopkeeper discovered that there were burnt and hammered marks on some gold nuggets, and vague patterns could be seen on them, which were quite unfamiliar, which made him frown slightly.
Although he suspected that there was something wrong, the shopkeeper did not stop. After a lot of effort and sweat on his forehead, he confirmed that it was correct when the customer was a little impatient.
I also confirmed the quality, labor cost, fire consumption, etc. with the customer, and finally sent the customer fourteen yuan and ten taels of gold, plus five yuan and one tael of gold.
Ten and a half kilograms refers to the government standard of five hundred grams per kilogram, and the standard gold standard is about 586 caoping kilograms.
After conversion, it is less than fifteen yuan for a large yellow croaker, but it is more than fourteen yuan for a large yellow croaker plus five yuan for a small yellow croaker. The extra is the cost of this replacement.
The extra quantity, plus the lack of quality, actually means that this business is not less profitable. The less profit just means that the ratio is low.
Naturally, customers will not directly acknowledge the goods brought by others. After all, such a large business is worth the risk of others losing reputation and even the store.
He weighed it, looked at it carefully, and then took out another piece of gold with the same specification. After seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, he handed it over to his subordinates for comparison and confirmation.
After chatting for a while, and waiting for the subordinates to compare and confirm, they greeted each other politely, and were sent to the door by the shopkeeper and the waiter. They crossed the street and got into the car diagonally opposite. They stayed in the car and never left it.
The driver, whose car stalled, stepped on the accelerator and sped away quickly.
