Chapter 630: Opportunity to Open Up the Situation
As expected, Li Qunshi's face immediately darkened, but he quickly recovered his normal expression and said with a forced smile:
"If it's really as the Special Envoy said, I would congratulate him. But you are too modest, Special Envoy. With your talent, how could you possibly rely on Director Ding?"
Li Qunshi felt a little regretful. He really shouldn't have invited Ding Mocun. This guy was not content and was obviously building up his own power, wanting to compete with him. He really had to find a way to deal with him.
Yuan Ye knew that Li Qunshi was not being sincere, and he knew what he was thinking without eavesdropping on his thoughts. There was bound to be something interesting to watch next.
After lunch at noon, Yuan Ye took a short rest and left No. 76. He drove to the dead mailbox that he and Yoshida Shigeru had agreed on, and found a note left for him by Yoshida Shigeru in it. After reading the note, he realized that Li Zhongfa had defected on his own initiative, and it was not because the contact point was discovered by the Japanese.
Yuan Ye felt that this was particularly bad. He was willing to sell out his comrades in order to go abroad. It showed how shameless this person was and he deserved to die.
The note also said that Li Zhongfa had been sent to No. 76, but Yuan Ye already knew this.
Yuan Ye left 500 yen in the dead mailbox and drove to Hengyuan Trading Company. He sent a telegram to the "pastor" and told him that Li Zhongfa had defected on his own initiative. The Special High Section did not keep its promise to send him abroad, but kicked him to No. 76. Starting tomorrow, No. 76 would send people to follow him to the French Concession and the International Settlement to look for people he knew in the organization.
Yuan Ye also specifically instructed not to take action to sanction Li Zhongfa immediately, but to wait a few days before taking action, so that it would not have any impact on him.
Yuan Ye could actually have told the Red Party a few days later, but he knew that the Red Party wanted to know about Li Zhongfa's betrayal as soon as possible, so he sent a telegram to him asking for his help so quickly.
It would have been fine if Li Zhongfa had defected voluntarily. If he had been betrayed, the problem would have been serious. Who was the person who betrayed him? If this person wasn't identified, the organization's activities would have been greatly affected, and some people might even have been forced to relocate.
Of course, Yuan Ye also trusts the Red Party and will act according to his requirements.
Chen Mingzhong finally felt relieved after receiving the telegram. After sending a secret message to Wuming for help this morning, he had already prepared the worst-case scenario and asked Huoyun to start an internal investigation and prepare to transfer some personnel.
Comrade Wuming's information came at a very timely moment. He immediately found Huoyun and asked him to stop the investigation. He showed him the secret message sent by Wuming and asked him to take action against the traitor Li Zhongfa in a few days according to Wuming's request.
Huoyun read the message and said with sincere admiration:
"Comrade Wuming is truly capable. He obtained the intelligence so quickly and helped us a lot again."
Chen Ming nodded and said with emotion:
"Yes, he is indeed very capable, but he is certainly taking a huge risk. I can only pray that he can stay safe in this dangerous place. I hope that when we win, we will be able to see his true colors."

Xiaolin, who had the film on him, had a smooth journey. He took a boat to Hong Kong and then flew to the mountain city. Chu Yuntian had already sent someone to wait for him at the airport. After arriving at the headquarters, Xiaolin handed the film to Chu Yuntian.
Chu Yuntian praised him, arranged for him to rest, and then called Yue Haishan and asked him to develop the film immediately.
When Yue Haishan put the developed film on Chu Yuntian's desk, Chu Yuntian couldn't contain his excitement. He picked it up and examined it carefully. It turned out to be the information Yuan Ye had obtained about the Guangtian team that came to Shancheng to carry out the mining operation. The information contained sketches of each member and their personal information. In addition to their real names, there were even aliases they used after coming to Shancheng.
After Yuan Ye sent him the telegram, he had been waiting for the information to arrive. With this information, it would not be difficult to catch the Guangtian team, and there was even hope of cracking the Silver Fox team. Because according to the information sent by Yuan Ye, the Silver Fox team would cooperate with the Guangtian team's actions.
Chu Yuntian sent Yue Haishan to figure out the storage situation of the legal tender engraving. The one from the Bank of China was placed in a safe in the underground vault, jointly kept by the bank's assistant manager Wang Qiming and the custodian Guo Da. Each of them held a key, and the safe could only be opened when both of them were present at the same time.
The situation is similar for the one at the Mint, which is kept by manager Liu Jiyun and custodian Chen Shigui. Both of them need to be present at the same time to hold the key to open the safe.
From the perspective of the management system, it is still relatively strict, which means that you must bribe two people at the same time to get the legal currency engraving. Bribing one person may not be difficult, but bribing two people at the same time is a bit difficult.
Of course, there is another way, which is to bribe one of them and then find a way to get another key, but this is even more difficult.
Chu Yuntian originally planned to let these four people cooperate with his actions, but after some thought, he decided not to tell these four people about the Japanese plan. The main reason was that he was afraid that after they knew it, when the Japanese came into contact with them, if they behaved abnormally, it would easily arouse the Japanese's vigilance, and then the purpose of catching all the Japanese in one fell swoop might fail.
So Chu Yuntian didn't dare to take the risk and decided to send someone to secretly monitor the four people. He used his connections to transfer two people to the Mint and the Bank of China respectively to monitor them from the inside, and also installed eavesdropping devices in the offices of these four people.
In addition, Chu Yuntian selected a group of people with strong professional abilities to form four surveillance teams, which were commanded by Yue Haishan himself and reported to him immediately if any situation arose.
He now has everything ready, just waiting for the Japanese to come. However, according to estimates, it will take Guangtian's team at least ten days to sneak into the mountain city. Now that he has the information about Guangtian's team sent by Yuan Ye, he feels more confident.
The director also had high hopes for this operation, so he was actually under a lot of pressure. After all, there had been basically no progress in counter-espionage work in recent times. After the cunning Silver Fox team lost two spies, they seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and were never found again.
Ren Zhiping made no progress in monitoring Ren Dashi. Ren Dashi went to get off work and came home normally every day and behaved normally. Although a bug was installed in his office, nothing unusual was found.
The director's face began to look a little ugly, and Chu Yuntian felt a little annoyed. Now, thanks to the information provided by Yuan Ye, he finally waited for a great opportunity to break the situation...
