Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

Chapter 604 Special Mission

Shanghai, Yichun Teahouse.

The climate in the south is indeed changeable. It was sunny in the morning, but it started to rain heavily near noon.

The rain outside was falling steadily and there were fewer pedestrians on the street.

Hu Yunqing held an umbrella and slipped into the teahouse.

The waiter of the teahouse hurried forward to greet him: "Thank you for your hard work, sir. It's really thoughtful of you to come and patronize our shop in such a heavy rain."

The shopkeeper sitting behind the counter saw clearly that it was Hu Yunqing and hurriedly walked out from behind the counter.

He sent the waiter aside and said with a smile, "You haven't been here for a while. Why are you here today?"

Hu Yunqing smiled and said, "We're out of tea at home. By the way, do you have any new tea recently?"

The shopkeeper said, "Yes, we have Mingqian Longjing, Taihu Biluochun, Lu'an Guapian, and Huangshan Maofeng."

"I remember that the guests like Biluochun. Please go to the private room upstairs and sit for a while. I will ask the waiter to make you a pot of tea to try."

Hu Yunqing nodded, turned around and went upstairs.

After waiting in the box for about half an hour, a familiar figure pushed open the door.

Hu Yunqing stood up and walked forward and said, "Comrade Hannian, why are you looking for me so urgently? Do you have any mission?"

The person who came was the head of the Shanghai Labor Union, Pan Hannian.

"Comrade Yunqing, I want to ask you, were you the ones who fired warning shots regarding the ambush at Jinxian Bridge?" Pan Hannian's tone was somewhat serious.

Hu Yunqing did not deny it and said, "Yes, I received a message from Comrade Qingshan. No. 76 designed an operation to catch the Military Control Commission in one fell swoop."

"Although the Military Control Commission disagrees with us, we are all on the anti-Japanese front after all."

"The country is in turmoil right now. If they are wiped out by the Japanese, it will be a big loss to the war of resistance."

"Besides, he and his men helped us deal with the traitor Xiao Ping last time."

"Besides, this time the incident happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to report to the organization, so I made the decision on my own and asked the boatman to take action."

"Comrade Hannian, this is my personal opinion and has nothing to do with other comrades. If the organization has any opinions on how to deal with it, I am willing to take full responsibility."

Pan Hannian sighed and said, "Well, the organization will not have any objection to this matter for the time being. I am worried that Comrade Qingshan will be exposed because of this matter."

"As you know, Comrade Qingshan did a lot of work to infiltrate No. 76."

"I don't want to see him reveal his identity for the sake of the Military Control Commission. That would be a shame."

Hu Yunqing frowned and said, "Comrade Qingshan just sent back a message that No. 76 has already begun accepting the Mei Agency's screening."

"However, he thought that the possibility of his being exposed was small, and he had time witnesses throughout this operation to ensure that his situation would not be discovered."

“I trust his judgment.”

Pan Hannian seemed relieved when he heard Hu Yunqing's words. He then picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Hu Yunqing asked suspiciously, "Comrade Hannian, you are looking for me so urgently, right?"

Pan Hannian shook his head and said, "Of course not. I came to you to ask you to seal up Qilin's information."

"Seal Qilin's information?" Hu Yunqing was stunned. Sealing the information meant that this person would leave the hidden front.

Didn’t Qilin go to Hong Kong Island? Did something go wrong with her work?

Pan Hannian seemed to see through Hu Yunqing's thoughts and smiled: "Comrade Yunqing, don't think too much..."

"There is nothing wrong with Comrade Qilin's work. It is just an arrangement made by the organization."

Hu Yunqing thought for a while and said, "Can I ask what exactly is it that requires Qilin to give up his identity as an agent?"

Pan Hannian hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Qilin cooperated with Chen Yang from the Transportation Department last time."

"From her description, this person has a bottom line."

"The organization is considering whether we can strive for..."

Hu Yunqing's brows suddenly tightened, and he kept saying, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Pan Hannian was visibly stunned when he saw Hu Yunqing's sudden reaction.

Hu Yunqing said seriously: "Comrade Hannian, although I haven't met Chen Yang much, I have met his subordinates Gao Tianjiu, Lin Fusheng and others many times."

"These people are pure businessmen. They don't have the concepts of nation, dignity, honor or disgrace in their minds."

"As long as you are willing to pay, they will treat you equally, whether you are Japanese or Chinese, whether you are a murderous robber or a passionate anti-Japanese youth."

"If this person joins our camp, he will sell us out as long as the Japanese are willing to pay him."

"It's too risky for you to let Qilin contact this person."

"Moreover, I don't think we can offer better conditions than the Japanese to attract him to join."

"My personal suggestion is to terminate this plan immediately."

Pan Hannian's face became extremely heavy. He drank a sip of tea silently and said, "It's too late. Qilin has returned."

"Moreover, she came back with a special mission this time. Her purpose was not only to contact Chen Yang, but also to cooperate with him in business."

"Cooperative business?" Hu Yunqing asked in surprise, "What business?"

Pan Hannian said in a deep voice: "The Nanyang Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce has raised $300,000 from the public to purchase anti-Japanese weapons and equipment for our army."

"You should have heard that in March this year, Mr. Chen organized the "Southeast Asian Overseas Chinese Returning to China to Comfort the Country Investigation Team". This investigation team was invited by the National Government and visited Shancheng, northern Shaanxi and other places for investigation."

"Mr. Chen was in agreement with our leaders. He not only left a large amount of supplies, but also contacted many international friends to donate money and supplies to us."

"After returning to Nanyang in May, he organized the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce to raise donations from all walks of life."

"A few days ago, Qilin met with Mr. Ma, the vice president of the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong Island. Mr. Ma personally handed her a check for $300,000."

"He repeatedly told us that this was the contribution of overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia to the country's war of resistance, and hoped that Qilin could use the money for the war of resistance."

Hearing this, Hu Yunqing already understood what Pan Hannian wanted to say, and his expression became a little unnatural.

To put it bluntly, they simply acted first and reported later.

"Since it is the decision of the organization, I will do it according to the requirements." Hu Yunqing sighed and said, "However, regarding Qilin's mission, I still insist on my opinion. We cannot pin our hopes on Chen Yang."

"This person's philosophy is different from ours. In his eyes, we are all commodities, but there is no suitable price."

"As long as someone can afford the price, he will sell us out decisively."

Pan Hannian was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Comrade Yunqing, I will convey your opinion to the organization."

Hu Yunqing turned his head helplessly to the window, looking at the continuous rain outside, he murmured: "I hope Qilin has not contacted Chen Yang yet."

"He is a man who eats people without leaving any bones. Qilin's tricks are no match for him."
