Chapter 610: Following Yang Meiyu
Yuan Ye couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He didn't expect that she would have such an idea. However, it was not wrong for her to think so. Of course, this possibility could not be ruled out.
This shows that this woman is quite thoughtful. It seems that being beautiful does not mean being brainless. It’s just that she really thought too much this time.
But this can't be blamed on her. How did she know that I had the ability to eavesdrop?
And in a sense, she was not wrong. Although he was not a member of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, he was a member of the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. In the final analysis, they were all people of the country and were all subject to the purpose of resisting Japan. From this point of view, they were indeed one of their own.
However, this also reminded Yuan Ye that he should not underestimate Zheng Qian in the future. Now that she has this idea, it is very likely that Yang Meiyu will also have this idea. He should be careful when dealing with them in the future and try to have as little contact as possible, otherwise it will have an adverse effect on his hidden identity.
Yang Meiyu was obviously a little surprised. Because she was not involved in it personally, she didn't think as deeply about it as Zheng Qian. Zheng Qian's idea was not unreasonable, but she could not verify it.
It was impossible for her to ask her superiors. If Yuan Shikai was really one of them, then this person's position was obviously very important, and it was not something that someone at her level should know.
Even if she asked her superior, there was no way he would tell her. Besides, her superior might not know and probably did not have the qualifications to do so.
Of course, it is also possible that Zheng Qian was overthinking it and this Yuan Shikai was not one of them.
She thought for a while and said:
"What you said makes sense. I also hope he is one of us, but I can't prove it. It's safer to treat him as if he is not one of us.
Don't think too much about this matter. Focus your energy on Ding Mo Village. Follow the established plan and gain his trust. When we set up an ambush, you lure him out and eliminate him in one fell swoop.
As for Yuan Shikai, I will use my status to get closer to him. It's hard to say whether I'll get anything out of it, so I'll just take it one step at a time."
"I understand. To be honest, I really hope you can develop him. With his status and energy, he can make a great contribution to our organization. However, you must be careful. Although this person is young, he seems to be very cunning."
Zheng Qian nodded and said.
"The same goes for you. Ding Mocun is a very cunning person. You must be careful when dealing with him and never let him see any flaws."
Yang Meiyu gave a reminder. Her worry was not unnecessary. In her opinion, although Zheng Qian was very enthusiastic about resisting the Japanese, she was still very young after all. She was the most suitable candidate and the key to the entire anti-traitor operation. How could she not be nervous when dealing with Ding Mocun, an old hand?
Zheng Qian looked at her watch and said:
"Okay, I understand. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Yang Meiyu nodded and watched Zheng Qian leave. Then she sat for a few more minutes and left the Fit Cafe.
Yuan Ye stood up from his seat and saw through the window glass that Yang Meiyu stopped a rickshaw at the door. After she got in, the rickshaw drove forward quickly.
That wasn't the direction back to the apartment, so Yuan Ye wondered where she was going. He guessed Yang Meiyu might be going to report to her superiors about her meeting with Zheng Qian today, so he decided to follow her and see.
He quickly got on the car and drove behind the rickshaw, keeping a distance of seventy or eighty meters. More than twenty minutes later, the rickshaw arrived at Waibaidu Road in the International Settlement and stopped at the door of Yamozhai.
Yuan Ye couldn't help but feel curious. What was Yang Meiyu doing at Yamozhai? Of course, there were only two possibilities: either she was here to buy something, or Yamozhai was an important contact point for the Central Bureau of Investigation. If so, that meant that Boss Li was also from the Shanghai branch of the Central Bureau of Investigation, and his status must be quite high.
Yuan Ye parked his car on the street a few dozen meters across the street and saw Yang Meiyu walk into Yamozhai. He heard Boss Li take Yang Meiyu upstairs and into a room. After the door was closed, Boss Li asked:
"What brings you here today?"
Yang Meiyu described in detail the meeting with Zheng Qian just now, and finally talked about her plan to get close to Yuan Shikai, but she did not mention that Zheng Qian suspected that Yuan Shikai might be one of their own.
Boss Li was very happy and praised the work progress of her and Zheng Qian's team. He was also very interested in Yuan Shikai. Because he had never met the person Yang Meiyu was talking about, he didn't know that Yuan Shikai was actually the one who put the calligraphy works on consignment in Yamozhai.
He was surprised at the man's calligraphy skills and asked his name, but Yuan Ye did not tell him, and the work was only signed Jianghu Sanren.
He agreed with Yang Meiyu's idea and asked her to use her identity as a landlord to contact Yuan Shikai, but she must be cautious and not act too hastily.
When Yang Meiyu heard Boss Li say this, she guessed that Yuan Shikai was probably not one of them, otherwise he wouldn't have said that. Of course, it was also possible that Boss Li didn't know his true identity either.
If Boss Li, as a senior official of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics in Shanghai, did not know Yuan Shikai's identity, it would mean that Yuan Shikai's identity was kept secret at a very high level, especially if Yuan Shikai was really one of their own.
After hearing their conversation, Yuan Ye confirmed that Yamozhai was the contact point of the Central Bureau of Investigation and that Boss Li was also from the Central Bureau of Investigation and was the superior of Yang Meiyu and Zheng Qian. It was such a coincidence that he had never thought that Boss Li was from the Central Bureau of Investigation before. It seemed that everyone he knew might have another unknown face.
Yuan Ye didn't listen any further and drove back to the city government. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Before he could sit down in the office, the phone on the desk rang.
The call was from Yuichi Iwai, who asked him to go to Iwai Mansion, but didn't say what it was about.
Yuan Ye agreed and hung up the phone. He couldn't help feeling a little confused. What did Iwai Yuichi want to talk to him about?
I stole precious calligraphy and paintings and a large amount of money from his safe yesterday. Did he find out that it was me who did it?
This shouldn't be possible. I walked out of the office empty-handed right under his nose. He couldn't possibly suspect me. So what could have happened?
Yuan Ye didn't want to think too much about it. He would naturally know when he arrived at Iwai Mansion. Yesterday at the Mei Agency, he overheard the Japanese plan to steal the legal currency engraving in the mountain city. Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao would definitely find Iwai Yuichi to assign the task this morning, so he could go and find out the truth.
He immediately left the office and drove to Iwai Mansion.
