Previously, Shen Le received an urgent telegram notification from the Chongqing headquarters, and learned that Luo Jiana, that is, Zheng Jiayuan, was arrested in Shanghai, and was immediately frightened, and he hurriedly sent a telegram to Shanghai, ordering the intelligence line to cut off all contacts related to it, but only God knows!

When Guan Chengyi heard this, his mood was also heavy, and he asked softly, "Do you know what the reason is?" ”

Shen Le shook his head and said: "The specific reason for the arrest is ominous, but he is Hu Yunhe's one-line contact, this arrest must have something to do with Hu Yunhe, I can only inform the carrier pigeon, no matter what the situation, Hu Yunhe is difficult to preserve, but Hu Yunhe is just Hu Yunhe, but this time he actually took Jiayuan in..."

Speaking of this, Shen Le couldn't help but shake his head again and again, regretful, when he went to Shanghai to arrange the intelligence network, when he learned that his former subordinate Hu Yunhe had become a senior cadre of the puppet government secret service headquarters, and he was in urgent need of such a valuable source of information, so he thought about it again and again, and finally decided to contact it, but only a little trick was used, Hu Yunhe immediately bowed his head, with his identity, he naturally got Shen Le's attention, and did not hesitate to arrange his cronie Zheng Jiayuan as his upline, As a result, it was only a few months before something went wrong.

Shen Le has been in the Central Union for many years, in a high position, and his subordinates have originally accumulated a lot of talents, but after several twists and turns, they have suffered heavy losses, and now there are not many old subordinates in their hands, and they can't afford to lose one less than one, Zheng Jiayuan's arrest made Shen Le feel sad.

Guan Chengyi looked at Shen Le and asked in a low voice, "I wonder if the bats will be implicated this time?" He's the most important informant we've ever had. ”

Guan Chengyi is Shen Le's assistant and the head of the intelligence team in the Suhu District, and Shen Le naturally did not hide the existence of bats.

"Bats are another intelligence line, it shouldn't be fine, but Jia Yuan still knows some of the situation of bats, I originally planned to arrange Jia Yuan to be a single line contact for bats, so I said something about bats, but these situations have long been known to the Japanese and the secret service headquarters, there was no problem before, and now it is not a big problem."

Shen Le knew that Lu Yuannan had arranged two intelligence teams for bats to cooperate with each other, but they were both cracked and arrested by the Japanese military police and No. 76 respectively, so the Japanese and No. 76 must have mastered a lot about the situation of bats, according to these circumstances, at least they have a general understanding of the identity of bats, and Zheng Jiayuan will not know more than this, so the threat to bats is not great.

Guan Chengyi frowned and said: "District Chief, now that the situation in Shanghai is getting worse and worse, it is not appropriate to let the bats take risks at this time. ”

Shen Le heard this, was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head and vetoed the proposal.

"Now is the critical moment, the Japanese and the puppet government are so big, they are about to build the capital in Nanjing, reorganize and establish the so-called new national government, the headquarters continues to urge us to increase the intensity of intelligence collection, the bat has sent out important information one after another during this time, especially some secret information about the tripartite talks that have just ended, for this the headquarters has high hopes for him, at this time, how can it be possible to agree to let the bat hibernate."

"But excessive use will pose a major threat to the safety of bats, the district chief, the so-called generals are outside, the military orders are not subject to it, we are in a difficult situation now, we can't come hard, bats can't be damaged in vain, besides, now we have no valuable intelligence officers in our hands, without bats, your position in the central command will be more difficult to maintain in the future, which is more important, you still have to think clearly!"

Guan Chengyi's words shocked Shen Le's heart, he has now been squeezed out of the center of the power of the Central Union, the power of the past is not there, and the only bit of power in his hand is indeed no longer able to withstand the turmoil, he nodded heavily, and said: "Okay, what you said makes sense, I will notify the bat to enter a dormant state temporarily, and wait for this period of time." ”

Speaking of this, he straightened up, waved his hand and said: "This time I am here to inform you, my previous foothold is no longer available, and there is a problem on the action team's side, and I have to change another foothold." ”

Guan Chengyi's eyes tightened, and he asked urgently, "Why is there something wrong with Lao Yan?" This month is already the second time! ”

Shen Le also sighed lightly, and said helplessly: "Wen Hao's ears and eyes are too well-informed, as long as we move a little more in Nanjing, we will be approached by him, and we will lose four people in just one month, and the future will not be easy!" ”

"If you want to blame, blame you for training Wen Hao too well, and now this apprentice is beating the master, and he knows everything about Zhongtong!"

Guan Chengyi couldn't help but complain, making Shen Le speechless for a while, Wen Hao is Shen Le's old subordinate, Shen Le is no better than others, since he entered the industry, he took him with him to teach carefully, promoted all the way, and became the most powerful assistant by Shen Le's side, it can be said that he is also a brother and a father, and the relationship is extremely close.

So much so that after Wen Hao surrendered to the Japanese, Shen Le was also implicated, which became an important excuse for the old enemy to attack Shen Le, and finally Shen Le had to leave an important post and go to the office to take up an idle position.

Guan Chengyi regretted a little as soon as he spoke, looking at Shen Le's gloomy expression, he quickly changed the topic and said: "District Chief, now there are more and more intelligence departments in Nanjing, the Military Intelligence Department of the Japanese Central China Dispatch Army, the Military Police Headquarters, the Special High Section, the No. 21, and some unclear, in the city of Nanjing, our room for activity is getting smaller and smaller, do you want to go to the suburbs to hide?" ”

Guan Chengyi is an old man in Shen Le's family, he has suffered a lot with Shen Le, and now he has long been smoothed out, if it weren't for Shen Le's call, he would never risk his life and follow him behind enemy lines, and now he just wants to survive this protracted war safely, and he has no desire to win.

Shen Le also knew the current situation, the intelligence department of the Central Command had been repeatedly attacked, and in his own Jiangsu-Shanghai area, the fear of the enemy was serious from top to bottom, even with these old subordinates.

It's just that he can't say anything, half a year ago he was reappointed as the head of the Suzhou and Shanghai districts, and there are no competent personnel in his hands, although these old subordinates know that the future is dangerous, but under his summons, they still rushed to join him and lurk behind enemy lines with him, which is already very rare, and he can't ask for anything more.

Shen Le nodded slightly, and said softly: "I'll think about it again, by the way, you go to Dongjie tomorrow and take down the house we were optimistic about before, and use it as a spare foothold for me, and I will move the radio station over first tomorrow night." ”

Guan Chengyi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go early tomorrow morning, the current house is not expensive, there will be no problems." ”

Now that the population of Nanjing is almost half less than before the war, real estate is naturally cheaper, and it is not difficult to find a safe house.

After Shen Le and Guan Chengyi finished discussing, they stood up and quietly left through the back door under Guan Chengyi's send-off.

The two guards who had been staying near the back door saw him appear, and hurriedly followed him from a distance, and the three of them walked all the way quickly, walked two blocks, and came to the door of a remote courtyard, he looked back and looked around, and then nodded slightly, and the two guards understood, and then turned to leave.

This courtyard is not big, the location is hidden, and it is not suitable for many people to hide, so only Shen Le temporarily settled here, and the guards only accompanied him when he traveled, and he usually hid nearby, and did not protect closely.

Shen Le is cautious, and every time he stays at a foothold, he will change it every once in a while, and this habit has allowed him to evade the tracking of the 21st several times, and he is finally in danger.

He took out the key to open the courtyard door, carefully examined the mark he had arranged, nodded slightly, and then came a few steps forward, pushed open the door, and closed it tightly with his backhand.

It was getting late and it was dark, and he pulled the cord next to the doorframe, and the electric light hanging in the middle of the room lit up, and the yellowing bulbs brightened the room.

He was really tired after a busy day, and he came to the table against the wall with heavy steps, picked up the thermos, and was about to pour himself a glass of water, but as soon as his eyes stared, he noticed that something was wrong.

He is a veteran agent of Zhongtong, and he has his own unique experience over the years, and he has a specific way of placing every item in his residence, such as the direction of the thermos handle, and the direction of the teacup handle will be deliberately towards the door, and the distance between tables and chairs is always the distance between the soles of a foot, etc., in short, if there is a mistake, it means that a sneaker has entered the room.

Shen Le's heart was shocked, his figure was immediately stunned, he turned around and leaned against the wall, leaning against the wall with his back to prevent someone from suddenly striking back and forth, and reached out to touch under the table on the side.

Although he is an intelligence agent, he has been in a high position for a long time, and he has always been protected when he travels, and under certain circumstances, it is safer to not have a gun than to wear a firearm, so he does not have the habit of carrying a weapon, but often hides a gun at home and in a hidden place in case of emergency.

But when his hand touched the table, it was empty, and the short gun he had hidden here was gone.

A layer of cold sweat suddenly oozed from Shen Le's forehead, and he secretly screamed in his heart, someone sneaked into his residence and took away the weapon he hid in the shadows, and he could touch under his nose without a sound, this person must be a master.

Just as he was about to move again, a voice suddenly came from the corner of the room: "Director, you are still old and strong, and you are as alert as you were back then!" ”
