"I heard that things are not going well with you?"
Although they are separated now, they are still acting together. The situation on Sha Ronghai's side cannot be hidden from Shi Baocun.
"There is indeed trouble, but it won't affect the mission for the time being. It's just that we are a bit short of manpower and can't take care of it."
"Then I'll let it go for now. Although there's no progress, this guy hasn't noticed anything unusual. You can check it later."
After hearing this, Shi Baocun stopped smiling. He also knew the priorities and couldn't make any mistakes when it came to the end.
Sha Ruhai did not refuse. Since Shi Baocun could find out the clues, it meant that the current situation had basically recovered and there was no need to worry too much, so he explained the situation to him in detail.
"Then how are you going to deal with this? Those people are really mobilized, they are not a small problem for us."
Without handling these matters personally, Shi Baocun would not interfere randomly. Instead, he would first ask the person in charge, Sha Ronghai, for his advice.
"You don't need to pay too much attention to this matter for the time being. You can just report it back. I guess Team Lin has already anticipated it in advance. Since there is no special order, there should be a countermeasure.
Our trouble is that these gangs who have taken refuge with the Japanese have become serious again after being forced by the Japanese, which has caused some problems for our current tasks, and we need to add some additional manpower to prevent problems in order to avoid problems."
Sha Ruhai was not talking nonsense. Although he was a little worried about what would happen next, the trouble was not big at the moment. He just needed to add more manpower to prevent any problems.
…
"Brother Wang, the things outside have been arranged, and others have taken over to take care of it. We have to go back to build and prepare for the next action."
In the slightly empty maintenance room with only tool parts lying around but still emitting various weird smells, a slightly tired Wang Mingkun was listening to Yao Yibin's report.
He had to repair the car and was busy arranging all the preparations for the operation. He couldn't bear it! He was really exhausted.
Fortunately, they worked quickly and slowly, and basically all the broken cars on hand were repaired, and all the tasks were completed as scheduled, but they still couldn't be idle because more important tasks had arrived.
After listening to the report, the man who was still stained with oil went out, took out a cigarette and started a fire, and came to a corner where there were many ashtrays.
There are all kinds of oils everywhere in this place. To avoid accidents, smoking has been banned now, leaving only this corner for everyone.
However, the conditions are limited and very simple, just to relieve the addiction. Customers who come here will not come here to smoke. They usually go to a small teahouse not far away, which has cooperated with a car repair shop and bought a lot of good tea.
Specializes in entertaining customers for car repair shops.
Usually only people from the store come here, and there is an open space on all sides except thick walls. It is difficult for outsiders to hear soft words, so it is regarded as a place for them to meet and talk about some secret things.
After all, it is very suspicious to find a very private place to talk whenever something happens. The main reason is that this is not a private place like an office, so this is not a last resort.
Of course, the matters discussed here are not too secretive. We just need to avoid outsiders, and we don’t need to find a special place to conduct strictly confidential matters.
The two of them smoked half a cigarette, and Duan Jiazeng came over as if he wanted to smoke. He passed around the cigarette and lit it. He took two puffs and chatted a few words, then started chatting casually.
"Old Duan, I'll leave this to you first. Remember to provide us with a good cover. Those gang members like flies are on the move again. Once they discover something, all the hard work here will be ruined.
"
"... Don't worry, everything has been arranged... Is there any big action planned?"
Duan Jiazeng blew out the smoke, nodded, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Old Duan, remember the rules. Know what you should know and don't ask about what you shouldn't know. In the future, you must keep this iron rule in mind and follow the instructions given. Curiosity will only bring you unnecessary trouble and even disaster.
.”
Looking at Wang Mingkun's serious expression, Duan Jiazeng also nodded heavily. He was just a little uncomfortable with it, and he was not a ungrateful person.
…
"Matsushita-kun, I have a very bad feeling. We are afraid that we will be in big trouble!"
Suzuki raised his head, drank the entire glass of wine in one gulp, and opened his mouth in a drunken manner, with worry and uneasiness that could not be concealed on his face.
"Yes! Such a terrifying enemy didn't even move at all. It was so quiet that I only felt terrifying!"
They had been quietly handling their work for a period of time, and the two of them didn't show any strange behavior. However, tonight, they accidentally found each other and drank glasses of wine crazily.
"In the past, we underestimated this enemy too much. Until they arrived, we didn't have many useful preparations. As a result, we were passive everywhere and had no ability to fight back."
After Suzuki finished speaking, Matsushita nodded slightly and replied: "Not only did I underestimate the enemy, but I also ignored their growth. I borrowed the records of previous battles with them. They may not be complete, but I saw from them how quickly they fought.
It has grown to a point where I feel scared.”
"Yes! Although we can still come up with some methods to deal with them from other aspects, it also means that we have completely fallen into a disadvantage in the head-on confrontation.
The most correct choice now is to stop first, and at least be fully prepared before confronting them. But we can't, and the other side won't stop easily. Now we actually have only one way, which is to use people to fill in.
Fill it out until the other party chooses to stop."
"So you choose to force those gangs and let them come up with people to fill in?" Matsushita supported his dizzy head with his hands and looked at Suzuki.
To be honest, Suzuki's method of forcing these people made him feel quite strange before, but now that he talked about it, he finally understood.
"It would be great if we could do this. Unfortunately, our enemies may not let us get our way easily, but it is worth a try!"
Matsushita shuddered and wanted to wake up, but unfortunately, the heavy drunkenness still made his heart beat wildly, so he fell down.
…
"Is there nothing unusual here?" Du Mingsheng, who was well-dressed in an apartment with excellent conditions, asked Yi and Liu.
He had come here to get in touch before, and felt that everything was normal here, so he went to work on his tasks. But today, the targets of both parties came into contact, so he had to come here secretly.
"There aren't many unusual behaviors. I just feel like I'm in contact with more people, and some chores are rarely done. I think I'm busy doing something, but it's not abnormal."
Du Mingsheng asked about the details, and then recalled that the mission situation they told him before was indeed what they said.
"Look at these two photos and help me recall the contact between these two people and your target during your previous investigation."
The two took the photo, checked it out, communicated with each other, and called Zhang Wenkai and Ding Zhe to get to know each other before giving Du Mingsheng a reply.
"This person has had many contacts with our target, but because he was blocked out a few times, we didn't pay too much attention.
The other person should be this person's supervisor or boss. We have seen that he had a separate contact with the target, and they chatted for a short time, and it seemed that the chat was not satisfactory."
"Where are these people?" After asking for details, Du Mingsheng took out a few more photos for the two of them to check. They were all taken secretly, and they were far away, so they were not very clear.
"...No..." The two of them looked at it for a while, and then communicated with Zhang and Ding, both of whom said they had not seen it.
"Brother Du, is there something wrong here?" After checking, Yi Wenbin couldn't help but ask.
"It's unclear what the relationship is between them, but it shouldn't have any impact on what you are responsible for."
Du Mingsheng thought about it and made a reply. Although he was not 100% sure, judging from the current situation, there should be no overlap between the two parties in the area they were responsible for investigating.
Hearing this, Yi and Liu relaxed a little. As long as there were no problems or omissions, it would be fine.
…
Under the swaying fire in the fireplace and the red wine, the two old acquaintances gathered together again.
"After contacting us twice, there has been no movement from those people. It has been a bit abnormally quiet recently. I heard that they are going to redeem people soon. I am afraid they are planning some big move?"
The blond man picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and asked curiously.
The brown-haired man did not reply immediately. After a brief sip, he replied: "True or false, false or false, who knows? Don't test me, I may not know as much as you.
Let me tell you, don’t think too much now, and take care of yourself first! I heard that the situation here is not much better than that of the Shanghai Station of the Intelligence Department, and there are leaks everywhere!"
The blond man was silent for a while, and then he said leisurely: "I suggest you, don't be careless, and check where you are! The penetration ability of the Japanese really surprised me. Although I haven't fully checked it yet, but..."
The brown-haired man listened and looked at him with a serious expression. He knew this old acquaintance quite well. If this was not a pretense, it could only mean that there was a big problem.
After a long time, the brown-haired man looked back and cursed in his heart. He knew that the problem was really big. He had been dealing with the Japanese for a longer time in the past, so the problem would only be bigger. His grandma was a fool...
…
The floating white clouds slowly gave way, and silver light fell into a study room. In the darkness, a man stood in front of the bookshelf with a microphone in his hand.
"As I said, don't contact me. I don't want to get involved in your affairs. Those people are totally unreliable. There's no need to persuade me. It's useless!"
"Is it possible that what you said is reliable?" The tone on the other end of the phone was slightly dissatisfied.
The other end of the phone was silent for a long time before replying: "At least, they won't pay attention to us, and they won't just eat us up and leave us alone."
"Okay, okay, you think I don't understand? Those people above asked me to do that, what can I do? Don't forget, I am always covering for you.
Without further ado, those people are pressing hard now, and I am also dealing with it. I am a little worried that they will start from above and make us use our wealth as cannon fodder.
Although the higher-ups don’t know your specific situation, they know that you are here, so it’s best to cut off contact recently to avoid finding you and causing another lot of trouble..."
"...Click..." Before the other person finished speaking, he hung up the phone. The figure stood in front of the bookshelf for a long time before lighting a cigarette. The firelight vaguely reflected a gloomy and gloomy face.
