Genius Agent

Chapter 71 Resentment Arises

In Shanghai, Shen Mozhou was stunned when he saw the telegram from headquarters.

Why did you ask him to invite Su Yuncheng again?

Su Yuncheng refused last time, what if he still disagrees this time?

Even with his thick skin, he couldn't stand being rejected time and time again. Shen Mozhou cursed inwardly, but dared not utter a word of complaint.

Even in front of his trusted disciple, he could not speak ill of the Director. Chen Yansheng was very loyal to him now, but who could guarantee that he would be loyal to him for life?

People can't see into each other's hearts. Shen Mozhou is a shrewd person and wouldn't make such a low-level mistake as to give his student leverage over him.

"Send a signal to Su Yuncheng and ask him to meet."

Shen Mozhou gave the order directly, and Chen Yansheng remained silent. He had translated the telegram from headquarters and handed it to Shen Mozhou, so he naturally knew what was going on.

Su Yuncheng had already expressed his dissatisfaction with him constantly calling him and said he couldn't keep calling him. Fortunately, they had agreed on a signal beforehand.

The Special Higher Police (SAT) dispatched six of Sato's men, who worked from dawn till dusk, to inquire about Cao Lijun's situation.

They had to be careful when they left the concession to operate in the territory of the Kuomintang.

On the surface, the Chinese dared not do anything to them, but in secret, the secret service dared to do anything.

The fact that four undercover agents could be killed so easily is sufficient proof.

"Hayakawa, what are you guys busy with?"

Inside the dormitory, Kato Ken saw his colleague about to leave again and stopped one of them to ask a question.

Ken Kato suffered a genital injury and has been discharged from the hospital. He is currently experiencing some difficulty moving around, but it does not affect his normal life. He is staying in his dormitory and is recuperating there.

"Kato, we have a mission. You just need to get some rest."

Hideaki Hayakawa looked at Ken Kato with pity. They all knew about Ken Kato's plight and had talked about it in secret many times.

He also told some jokes, but no one mentioned them to Takeru Kato's face.

They're not stupid; saying it would only offend people.

"What mission?"

Kato Ken asked directly. Hayakawa Hideaki hesitated for a moment, but did not hide anything. Investigating Cao Lijun's whereabouts was a secret to outsiders, but not a big deal internally.

Everyone could guess that the four people assassinated in the concession were their men.

Now it seems that the Special Service was behind it; their investigation of Cao Lijun was definitely an attempt to retaliate.

"I understand, be careful."

Kato Ken nodded slightly, while Hayakawa Hideaki hurriedly left, as he still had to keep watch at the intersection near the Shanghai Station of the Special Service today.

At the same time, we need to bribe some roadside merchants to keep an eye on the situation at Shanghai Railway Station.

By noting whether cars are coming in or out, their license plate numbers, and even cyclists, we can gather more information and uncover Cao Lijun's patterns of movement.

Watching his colleague's retreating figure, Ken's eyes gradually changed, revealing resentment, hatred, and a deep sense of unwillingness.

He had been discharged from the hospital for several days. He was particularly sensitive to his condition. These people thought he hadn't heard their discussions, but in fact he had overheard them many times in secret.

The dormitory's soundproofing is so-so; their rooms are all connected.

The toilets are also public.

Kato Ken dislikes going to the toilet with other people the most. He always goes when the toilet is empty, but he can't avoid having someone go in afterward. He can hear other people talking in the stall.

Hayakawa Hideaki once laughed at himself.

It's said that he became like a eunuch in China in the past, but unfortunately there was no such person in the Japanese Imperial Palace, otherwise he could have served His Majesty the Emperor and his concubines.

Besides Hayakawa, there were other people.

They said he would become neither male nor female, a disgrace to the intelligence group, and that he would be transferred sooner or later, possibly even from the Special Higher Police.

Some even said he should commit seppuku to serve the Emperor, as living was a disgrace.

He remembered everyone who had spoken ill of him, and his hatred for these people far exceeded that for the Chinese.

Are Hideaki Hayakawa and his team investigating Cao Lijun?

Kato Ken squinted for a moment, then quickly returned to his dormitory, changed his clothes, and went out.

Now he can go out freely without anyone asking him questions, and he has plenty of reasons to go out, as he needs to go to the hospital regularly to change his dressings.

Kato Ken didn't have any particular feelings towards Cao Lijun.

Cao Lijun was the head of the Special Service Department's action team. It was the people in the Special Service Department who turned him into this. He should hate them.

But the one who truly injured him was Hu Bang'an, who was killed by Cao Lijun.

Kato Ken knew very well that if Hu Bang'an surrendered, neither the group leader nor the section chief would kill him; they would even make him a role model and have him work for the Special Higher Police.

Without Cao Lijun, it would be difficult for him to take revenge.

In his heart, he didn't really hate Cao Lijun.

What he truly hated were the people around him.

When Kato Ken arrived at the hospital, he changed his dressing. On the way there, he kept thinking about how to let Cao Lijun know the news.

It would be best to capture Hideaki Hayakawa and his gang.

Aren't these people mocking themselves?

Their fate will be worse than yours.

It's a pity he couldn't appear directly in front of Cao Lijun, otherwise Cao Lijun would have captured them and castrated them, making them understand their suffering.

"Thank you, doctor."

After the dressing was changed, Ken Kato slowly left. The doctor felt sorry for him, but there was nothing he could do.

After leaving the hospital, Ken Kato headed straight for the International Settlement.

He needs to buy something to change his appearance.

"Sir, what would you like to order?"

Ken Kato enters a women's clothing store, where many beautiful clothes are displayed.

In the past, he would mostly criticize women for wearing beautiful clothes, but now his eyes held a longing.

"I bought my wife some clothes; she's about my height..."

Kato Ken said slowly, and the shop assistants had no suspicions and quickly helped him choose a red outfit.

Ken Kato likes red.

The clothes weren't cheap, but Kato Ken bought them without hesitation, and soon after, he went to a wig shop.

"My wife's hair is thinning..."

Kato Ken still used his wife's name. He was very careful when he went out to buy things today and didn't let anyone see him.

He wouldn't bring these clothes to the dormitory; he rented safe houses in the International Settlement and the Japanese quarter to store them.

And so, Ken Kato bought a complete set of women's clothing, including shoes and some cosmetics.

He wasn't in a hurry; he rented a house first, put his things away, and returned immediately.

At the newspaper office, Su Yuncheng discovered the signal sent by Chen Yansheng.

If it's not particularly urgent, arrange to meet him.

The meeting place was in a safe house, which Shen Mozhou had prepared himself.

"Why are you looking for me again?"

At noon, Su Yuncheng arrived at the safe house, where no one was following or monitoring him.

If someone is watching him, he will leave immediately and will never set foot here.

"The Director would like to invite you to Nanjing."

Shen Mozhou gave a wry smile; he was prepared to be rejected.

Why?

Su Yuncheng looked displeased and asked him to go to Nanjing again. Was this section chief addicted to fortune telling?

Didn't I tell him that each person and each incident can only be counted once?

Continuing to look for him is useless. If you anger him, tell them that forcing them to have their fortunes told will bring bad consequences.

Let's see if they dare to do it again.

"Our intelligence team failed to find the hidden sixth agent, and the Chief is very angry. I guess he still wants to ask you about this."

Shen Mozhou sighed and told the truth; he wasn't lying.
