Genius Agent

Chapter 10 The True Hero

People in the intelligence service are different from others.

Hiding oneself in an intelligence agency and remaining undetected is far more difficult than in places like schools or factories.

Huang Chuanming is too young and not a professional agent.

According to Lao Meng's report, the "New Tide Daily" is an intelligence agency exclusively owned by Japanese diplomat Tomohiro Muto. The head of the agency, Su Yuncheng, has an unusual relationship with Muto and has received professional training.

If ordinary people try to collect intelligence in front of professional agents, no matter how well they try to conceal it, the agents may still discover something amiss.

The organization suffered many losses in its early years because of this, and had long ago established discipline.

If you want to recruit new comrades for the intelligence department, you must be very careful and report it to your hometown.

If Huang Chuanming is exposed, it will affect more than just him; it could even harm Lao Meng and many others.

Secretary Xiao understood that Lao Meng was not unaware of the gravity of the situation, but rather that Huang Chuanming was so outstanding that it aroused his appreciation for talent.

At the newspaper office, Huang Chuanming arrived at Su Yuncheng's office with newly received telegrams.

"Editor-in-chief, the boss is calling back."

Su Yuncheng took the telegram. It was short and, as usual, praised them and gave him and Huang Chuanming a reward of fifty silver dollars.

How to allocate the money is up to Su Yuncheng to decide.

"Kawamura, you've worked hard. This is for you."

Su Yuncheng pointed out twenty-five silver dollars. The intelligence gathered this time was indeed from Huang Chuanming, who had been running errands and found out that it was the Special Higher Police who were behind it.

So Su Yuncheng gave him half of the reward.

"Thank you, editor-in-chief."

Huang Chuanming took the money, while Su Yuncheng glanced at him again.

Huang Chuanming was indeed happy, but he also felt a sense of contempt. Whom was he contemptuous of?

Is it myself, or Tomoo Muto?

Whoever it is, they are his superiors. They gave him so many rewards, so why would he feel contempt?

Huang Chuanming is an intellectual with a decent salary, but this reward is higher than his monthly salary, which is not his normal reaction.

Su Yuncheng became even more certain that Huang Chuanming must have something he didn't know, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a change.

"Go get to work."

Huang Chuanming stood up, bowed slightly, and left the office.

Su Yuncheng watched his retreating figure, lost in thought.

Huang Chuanming is his most capable assistant and his most trusted subordinate. There's something going on with him, so we need to find out what happened first.

With an hour left before the end of the workday, Su Yuncheng left the newspaper office first. The boss wasn't there; he held the highest position in the newspaper and could arrange his time freely.

The main road in front of the newspaper office is Avenue Joffre, the most bustling street in the French Concession.

There are various trading companies here, displaying a wide variety of goods from all over the world.

Su Yuncheng bought a new outfit and hat.

Huang Chuanming knew him too well, so he had to change his appearance, otherwise Huang Chuanming would recognize him immediately.

Su Yuncheng's grandfather had been a wanderer in the martial arts world in his early years and had many unique skills. Unfortunately, Su Yuncheng was unable to learn the essence of his grandfather's skills and only learned a few key abilities.

These were all skills that his grandfather forced him to learn, skills that could save his life in critical moments.

Su Yuncheng arrived near the newspaper office ten minutes early, just before the office closed for the day.

In the distance, Su Yuncheng watched as the newspaper staff left one after another.

Huang Chuanming was the last to come out.

He doesn't need to go to the printing plant, but he stays at the newspaper office every day to do the final checks and is responsible for closing the office.

Huang Chuanming was unaware that Su Yuncheng was secretly monitoring him.

He was doing intelligence work, but only as an assistant; he hadn't received any training, and Su Yuncheng had only given him some guidance.

On the way back, Huang Chuanming bought some sesame seed cakes for dinner.

As soon as he got back to his lodgings, he couldn't wait to take a book out from under his bed and start reading it with great interest.

This is a Chinese book, and it's not available in bookstores.

The book was given to him by Lao Meng, and it became his best spiritual nourishment, which he never tired of reading.

Huang Chuanming did not go out. Su Yuncheng watched as the lights in his room came on and waited for a full hour before leaving.

Back at his residence, Su Yuncheng sat at the table, holding a pen, but wrote nothing.

Huang Chuanming's behavior when he got home today was abnormal.

Huang Chuanming's family was not well-off. His parents died early, and his older brother took him to Shanghai to make a living. He suffered a lot in his early years.

Huang Chuanming is usually very frugal. He only buys dinner when he is too busy to buy any; otherwise, he cooks something for himself.

This is a habit he developed from suffering in his early years.

If he doesn't have a job, he likes to go out and exercise to save on electricity bills. Today he didn't go out, and I didn't assign him any work. What is he doing?

Su Yuncheng tapped the table, quickly tidied up his paper and pen, and prepared to rest.

As a secret agent, the most important thing is to have patience. In many cases, the confrontation between secret agents depends on who has more patience and is more meticulous.

Those who lack patience are often the ones who lose.

In a daze, the surrounding lights kept changing.

When Su Yuncheng regained consciousness, he found himself in a small room with a strange square box in front of him.

Images appeared on the box, showing people and sounds, just like in a movie.

But it's much smaller than a movie screen.

Unfazed, Su Yuncheng immediately realized that he had once again entered that strange dream.

Su Yuncheng immediately looked around. There was no one there, only a strange box playing images.

The screen was black and white, very similar to a movie. Su Yuncheng looked at the front and back of the box. There was no movie player, only a black power cord at the back.

Su Yuncheng's attention was quickly drawn to the image on the box.

The scene shows several people in tattered military uniforms fighting a group of Japanese soldiers on a mountain.

There were five of them standing on the hilltop. The man in the middle was holding a long-handled grenade, and the people next to him were talking.

"Squad leader, pull me."

"You pull it."

Su Yuncheng stared intently at the screen.

The squad leader, holding the grenade, pulled the pin. The five men had serious expressions, showing no fear of their impending death.

It looks like they're going to commit suicide with grenades.

Suddenly, the squad leader threw a grenade at the Japanese soldiers below the mountain.

"Comrades, let us demonstrate our loyalty through the actions of Red Party members."

The squad leader pulled his companion aside and slowly said, "Su Yuncheng's eyes widened immediately. In the scene, the five people were helping each other up to a cliff."

Shouting "Long live the Red Party!" they jumped off the cliff without hesitation.

Su Yuncheng suddenly opened his eyes and returned to his room.

It was already daylight outside.

Su Yuncheng drew back the curtains and looked out the window.

This dream was like watching a movie, but even more magical than a movie.

More importantly, what the box screen showed, although he didn't see it for long, he was certain this time that it was indeed the Red Party.

And they were fighting Japanese soldiers.

When and where did this happen?

Judging from the mountain peaks in the picture, it should be in the north.

No matter where they were, they fought against the regular Japanese army. When they ran out of ammunition and food, they jumped off cliffs without fear, not giving the Japanese a chance to capture them alive.

They are the true heroes.

Su Yuncheng is Chinese, and Mutō Tomohō thought he had a great influence on him, but he didn't know that this was Su Yuncheng's self-deception.

He can sense other people's emotions and naturally goes along with Muto Tomoo, making it impossible for Muto Tomoo to understand his true thoughts.

In Su Yuncheng's heart, there is only one country, and that is China.

Su Yuncheng held Chinese heroes in the highest esteem.
