Genius Agent

Chapter 24 ends here.

There was a teahouse nearby, so Huang Chuanming went there first and booked a room.

"Sixth Brother, even Uncle Cao has been alerted by Hu Bang'an's matter?"

Upon entering the private room of the teahouse, Su Yuncheng asked first, and Pan Liu chuckled and nodded: "That's right, Hu Bang'an is not simple. I only just found out that he has another identity."

"What is your identity?"

Su Yuncheng immediately asked, while Pan Liu glanced at Huang Chuanming.

"Editor-in-chief, I'll wait for you outside."

Huang Chuanming, being perceptive, took the initiative to leave, while Pan Liu lowered his voice: "He's from the Special Service."

Special Service?

Su Yuncheng's heart stirred slightly. He had just left Lu Mingxuan's place yesterday, and that night he dreamed about a book about Boss Dai of the Special Service Department.

This book gave him a detailed understanding of the Secret Service's past, present, and future.

He had previously suspected that each of his dreams was related to his experiences. For example, shortly after he witnessed Xie Hanzhang's murder, he dreamed that someone was commemorating Xie Hanzhang.

Upon discovering that Huang Chuanming had come into contact with the Red Party, he dreamt of Red Party members fighting against the Japanese army and sacrificing their lives.

Yesterday he suspected that Hu Bang'an and Lu Mingxuan had a secret relationship, and now he can confirm that Lu Mingxuan is definitely connected with the Special Service Department as well.

"Sixth Brother, how do you know all this?"

Su Yuncheng asked softly, "Hu Bang'an is a covert agent. Normally, others shouldn't know his identity."

"Master said that the ones who arrested him were definitely Japanese, but the Japanese don't admit it. We'll just have to wait and see; there'll be a lot of wrangling later."

"Thank you, Sixth Brother. Have some tea."

Su Yuncheng brewed tea for Pan Liu, handed it over, and then took out ten silver dollars.

"What are you doing?" Pan Liu's face turned ugly the moment he saw the money.

"Sixth Brother, thank you for helping me. This is a small token of my appreciation."

"Take it, Sixth Brother doesn't need your money."

Pan Liu pushed the money back, raising his voice. Su Yuncheng glanced at him and apologized, "Brother Liu, it's my fault. Let's have some tea."

Pan Liu genuinely didn't want Su Yuncheng's money; he was truly angry.

Cao Yinshan was a big boss of the Shanghai Green Gang with many disciples. In his early years, he learned some martial arts from Su Yuncheng's grandfather and took good care of Su Yuncheng.

After returning to China, Su Yuncheng would visit Cao's mansion once a month to strengthen this relationship.

Pan Liu was one of Cao Yinshan's apprentices. He took care of Cao Yinshan at Cao's mansion. Pan Liu was always the one who received him, and the two became acquainted.

Pan Liu was an honest man with no ulterior motives. This was the first time Su Yuncheng had asked him about something, so as usual, he gave him a small reward.

Unexpectedly, Pan Liu was genuinely unwilling to accept it.

There aren't many thugs like him, after all, Su Yuncheng and he weren't particularly close.

"That's more like it. Have some tea. Master mentioned you a few days ago. You should go more often from now on."

Pan Liu smiled and chatted happily with Su Yuncheng.

Through Pan Liu, Su Yuncheng learned that the Hongkou police station had not found the person who kidnapped Hu Bang'an, but they also suspected that it was the Japanese.

The Japanese just haven't admitted it.

It is said that this incident greatly angered Williams, the Commissioner of Police of the International Settlement, who ordered a thorough investigation to find Hu Bang'an.

I want to see him alive, or I want to see his body if he's dead.

"Kawamura, let's go back."

After seeing Pan Liu off, Su Yuncheng took Huang Chuanming directly back to the newspaper office.

Having met Pan Liu, Su Yuncheng no longer needed to spend money at the police station to inquire about the situation. Pan Liu had already asked him everything he could find out, and the information he got from Pan Liu was definitely more than what he could get from the police station.

Back in his office, Su Yuncheng began to organize his findings for the day.

Hu Bang'an was a member of the Special Service Department, and Lu Mingxuan was probably one as well. After Hu Bang'an was arrested, Lu Mingxuan was worried that the Japanese would find out his identity, so he was afraid.

On the surface, Lu Mingxuan doesn't need to worry, but the battlefield for espionage is underground, especially since the Japanese are rife with assassinations.

Xie Hanzhang was assassinated by them, and Lu Mingxuan was worried that the Japanese would target him.

Hu Bang'an may be injured, and if he is, the Japanese will definitely treat him.

It will most likely happen inside a Japanese hospital, which would allow them to keep the news under wraps.

"Kawamura, come with me."

Less than an hour after returning, Su Yuncheng finished tidying up the newspaper's work and went out again with Huang Chuanming.

Inside the hospital in the Japanese quarter.

Takumi Endo finally managed to find some time to visit Ken Kato's hospital room.

Ken Kato lay on the bed, his face deathly pale.

"Kato, how are you feeling right now?"

Takumi Endo came to the bedside and asked with concern. Ken Kato forced a smile, but it looked worse than a grimace.

"Captain, am I penile-less now?"

Kato Takeru asked softly, his voice low. Endo Takumi was taken aback, unsure how to answer the question.

"Don't overthink it, just focus on recovering. I'll help you get credit."

Endo Takumi comforted him, saying that Kato Ken's lower body was indeed gone, completely shattered, and it was already a miracle that he could be saved.

"Thank you, Captain."

Kato Ken's eyes were red; the physical pain was nothing compared to the heartache he was experiencing.

He graduated from the Imperial Army Academy with excellent grades and was later selected to join the Special Higher Police.

In any intelligence agency, those who can join the intelligence team are all elites.

Since they are elites, they are all confident and have high expectations for the future, and Kobayashi Fumihiko, who was killed by Su Yuncheng, was no exception.

Kenichi Kato wants to serve the empire and even become a general in the future.

But his youth had just begun when it turned into this horrible mess.

"Captain, is Hu Bang'an dead?"

Kato Ken suddenly asked, "He hates Hu Bang'an so much now, why did he have to hit him there of all places?"

Even if he is shot in the arm or leg, or if the injury is serious, as long as he doesn't die, these wounds will become his medals of honor, his pride.

Now, he's become the laughingstock of everyone.

How should I get along with my other colleagues in the future?

His future, his prospects, are completely ruined.

No superior would ever promote someone who is neither male nor female.

"No, but he's badly injured. Don't worry, even if he doesn't die, once we get something useful out of him, I'll find a way to help you get revenge."

Endo Takumi was indeed good to his confidants, constantly comforting them, and his words made Kato feel a little better.

At the hospital entrance, Su Yuncheng helped Huang Chuanming out of the car.

The Japanese quarter was far from them, so Su Yuncheng specially arranged for a car to come over.

The newspaper is too small to provide a car, but Su Yuncheng can apply for one from Muto Tomohiro once sales increase.

Having a car makes things more convenient.

"Editor-in-chief, what are we doing here?"

Huang Chuanming asked, and Su Yuncheng glanced inside and said calmly, "Hu Bang'an was probably captured by the Japanese. If he was injured, there's a high chance he's here."

Hu Bang'an is a member of the Special Service, and his current whereabouts are very important.

"Did the Japanese do it?"

Huang Chuanming felt a slight unease, and Su Yuncheng immediately sensed his unease.

Su Yuncheng immediately understood that Huang Chuanming was worried that Hu Bang'an, like him, was a member of the Red Party.

"Let's go in first."

Su Yuncheng led Huang Chuanming into the hospital, where he met people he knew.
