Director's Office.
Dai Chunfeng had finished listening to his subordinate's report and nodded in satisfaction.
"I knew I hadn't misjudged Wen Yuan; he is a true pillar of the Party and the nation."
Although Shen Yi had previously made many contributions, he had only dealt with the Japanese.
But their opponents were not just the Japanese.
President Chiang Kai-shek was most wary of having Communist Party members among his subordinates, and Dai Chunfeng was no exception.
The influence of the Red Party is terrifying. Although Shen Yi's resume is clean, it still needs to be verified.
He was very satisfied with Shen Yi's performance today. Now, Dai Chunfeng truly regarded Shen Yi as one of his own.
"Knock knock knock".
"Director, Section Chief Wei requests an audience."
"Let him in."
A short while later, Wei Daming walked into the office.
"Greetings, Section Chief!"
"Da Ming, what brings you here?" Dai Chunfeng asked with a smile.
"Chief, I heard from my subordinates that you summoned Qiao Zhicai. I need to talk to him about something. Where is he now?" Wei Daming asked.
"He's in the interrogation room; you can find him there."
Upon hearing this, Wei Daming's heart tightened. He had already guessed some of it before he came, and now that he heard Dai Chunfeng say this, he knew that he had guessed correctly.
That scoundrel Qiao Zhicai must have gotten into trouble with the mole in the department.
Ye Shuang was also called away along with Qiao Zhicai; without a doubt, she was the traitor!
Wei Daming certainly wouldn't believe his beloved disciple was a traitor, so he quickly said, "Chief, Zhicai is definitely not a traitor, he—"
Before Wei Daming could finish speaking, Dai Chunfeng interjected, "Of course I know he's not a mole, but according to the department's internal rules, how should he be punished for leaking intelligence to a mole?"
After saying that, he took out Qiao Zhicai's confession and handed it to Wei Daming.
Wei Daming took the statement and read it, although it did not say that he had leaked any information to Ye Shuang.
However, the two had been in too much contact, and it wouldn't be so easy for Qiao Zhicai to get rid of them completely.
Wei Daming then recalled what Dai Chunfeng had told him earlier. Although he didn't like the ways of social interaction, he wasn't ignorant of them.
He definitely wants to protect Qiao Zhicai, but he'll have to pay a price.
"Chief, I've thought about what you told me before, and I think our Special Service Department's equipment needs to be upgraded," Wei Daming said.
"How about this, when are you free? I'll invite Director Chen out, and we can have dinner together?"
The Director Chen he mentioned is the current Deputy Director of the Logistics Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
Seeing that Wei Daming was so sensible, Dai Chunfeng smiled and said, "That would be perfect. I have always admired Director Chen's heroic demeanor."
"Qiao Zhicai still needs more training. Go to the interrogation room and find Shen Yi; he'll handle it."
"By the way, Shen Yi seized another radio and codebook today. They should still be stored in the Operations Department. You should take a good look at them when you come over."
"Yes! Thank you, Chief."
After saying that, Wei Daming left with the statement.
Dai Chunfeng didn't say anything, because he had already achieved his goal.
. . . .
"Phew~"
Shen Yi exhaled a breath of stale air, his mood finally recovering somewhat.
He also confirmed that the Red Party would not betray them.
The other person's beliefs are absolutely paramount.
However, Song Yu and the others probably don't know yet, so Shen Yi needs to find a way to tell them.
He then prepared to return to the interrogation room, but instead of going to Xiao Wu's room, he planned to go see Ye Shuang.
Ye Shuang has been arrested for half a day now, and I don't know how she is now.
These days are so busy.
Shen Yi sighed and, after leaving the restroom, he ran into Wei Daming at the door.
"Greetings, Section Chief Wei!"
Wei Daming looked at Shen Yi, feeling a mixture of love and hate.
The hatred stemmed from the fact that the other party had captured his beloved disciple, Qiao Zhicai, while the love arose from the fact that Shen Yi had also seized another codebook.
The last codebook had already significantly improved their communications department's ability to decipher Japanese spy messages, and this new codebook would surely allow them to improve even further.
China's cryptography technology lags far behind Japan's, which is a major concern for him as the head of the telecommunications department.
After Shen Yi seized the codebook last time, he wanted to get closer to Shen Yi, but he kept putting it off until now.
What he didn't expect was that this meeting was because the other party had arrested his student.
"Team Leader Shen, I'm here to pick up my wayward apprentice," Wei Daming said somewhat awkwardly.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi knew that Wei Daming had already gone to see Dai Chunfeng and had even reached an agreement.
Then Qiao Zhicai was naturally of no use.
"Yes, Section Chief Wei, please come with me."
With that, Shen Yi led Wei Daming into the interrogation room.
"I heard from the section chief that Team Leader Shen has seized another codebook? Team Leader Shen's abilities are truly astonishing."
Wei Daming tried his best to ease the tension between the two. Although the other party had captured his student, it was undeniable that they had also saved him.
If Qiao Zhicai and Ye Shuang's relationship gets any closer, then everything will be over.
"Section Chief Wei, you flatter me," Shen Yi replied with a smile.
"I heard that the telecommunications department recently acquired a batch of new equipment? Including several telecommunications detection vehicles?"
"That's right, this detection vehicle can roam the streets and alleys to detect abnormal radio signals —"
When it came to professional matters, Wei Daming began to talk non-stop, and his relationship with Shen Yi became much closer in a short time.
Soon the two arrived at the cell where Qiao Zhicai was being held, while Ye Shuang's cell was right across from Qiao Zhicai's, except that hers was completely enclosed.
When Qiao Zhicai saw Wei Daming coming over, he quickly lowered his head.
Wei Daming has always been strict with his students, and he was even more furious when he saw Qiao Zhicai like this.
"Hmph! Still want to stay here? Get over here right now!"
Qiao Zhicai realized that Wei Daming had come to pick him up, so he quickly ran over.
Seeing this, Shen Yi opened the cell and released him.
"Teacher, I'm sorry to have worried you."
Seeing that Qiao Zhicai was unharmed and hadn't suffered any injuries, Wei Daming breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your help, Team Leader Shen. I will discipline him properly when I get back."
He had seemingly forgotten the difference in rank between himself and Shen Yi, and spoke very politely.
Seeing this, Qiao Zhicai quickly bowed his head and thanked Shen Yi. He felt no hatred towards Shen Yi at all, only fear.
"It's nothing, Section Chief Wei, you're too kind. I'll have someone send the codebook over to you in a bit," Shen Yi said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you very much, Team Leader Shen."
Afterwards, Wei Daming left with Qiao Zhicai, and Shen Yi went to the cell where Ye Shuang was.
He opened the door and saw Ye Shuang huddled in the corner.
She was no longer the beautiful woman she once was; her hair was disheveled, and her fingers were bleeding from where she had dug them out.
When she saw Shen Yi come in, she quickly scrambled over and tugged at his trouser leg, saying, "I—I'll talk, I'll tell you everything, just give me one more breath, just one more!"
