Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Chapter 1721 Truly Deep Comradeship

Liu Zhengxiong took the pen and asked in confusion, "How can this be a murder pen?"

Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "Uncle Liu! Don't get poisoned, let me do it."

She took the pen, gently unscrewed the back cap, and inside was a poisoned needle.

Liu Zhengxiong took the pen and examined it, exclaiming in surprise, "Good heavens! When I signed this, I was only a foot away from death. That damned Japanese devil really knows his stuff."

Xiang Chu said with a wry smile, "If only we could have controlled this spy in advance, we would definitely have been able to uncover the big fish lurking in Chongqing through him."

Yu Xiaowan said incredulously, "There are still 'big fish' lurking in Chongqing?"

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "'Big Fish' is the person who killed Ono Kikuko."

Liu Zhengxiong said bitterly, "There were also two river patrol officers who were killed by 'big fish' lurking in Chongqing. We should really find out who they are."

Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute! We'll definitely dig him out."

At this moment, Qian Fu rushed in and reported: "Boss! Xiao Qi called. The secret agent Noda has boarded the troop transport ship and is investigating whether you are going to the front line. Doihara Hiroki has ordered all the spies to be deployed to launch an intelligence operation at the front line. Please be careful."

Xiang Chu suddenly realized, "So the spy Noda is a subordinate of Doihara Hamaru."

Liu Zhengxiong said thoughtfully, "It seems he has nothing to do with the 'big fish'."

Yu Xiaowan nodded and said, "A spy should not serve two masters, so it should be fine."

Xiang Chu instructed, "Old Liu! To prevent enemy air raids, have everyone be prepared to abandon ship and go ashore at any time."

"Yes!"

Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly accepted the order.

Ma Fugui entered the cabin and reported, "Lord Chu! Hu Changsheng called to say that he has sent someone to send Chen Tianxin back to Chongqing. And as you instructed, he told Chen Tianxin that he escaped on his own."

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! That way, Chen Tianxin won't be shot by Dai Nong."

Chongqing, Office of the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Zheng Jie said with a smile, "Director! As you instructed, I left the mess of the frontline special forces to Chu Xi."

Dai Nong shook his head and said, "Old Zheng! We've been fooled. Chu Xi never went to the front lines in western Hubei to fight."

Zheng Jie said incredulously, "Impossible! The Military Commission has already appointed him, how dare he not go to the front lines?"

Dai Nong said with a wry smile, "The Military Commission only agreed that our special forces would be under his command, but it did not stipulate that he must go to the front line."

Zheng Jie exclaimed, "The Military Commission's actions are far too sloppy, allowing Chu Xi to benefit while pretending to be innocent."

Dai Nong sneered, "Don't worry! Just because Chu Xi isn't going now doesn't mean she won't go in a few days. Tell me, what tricks did you play in the special forces on the front lines?"

Zheng Jie said excitedly, "I handed over the secret agents from western Hubei to Ye Ying to carry out the assassination of Chu Xi."

Dai Nong rebuked, "Nonsense! I've never even met these agents. How could you entrust them with such an important task?"

Zheng Jie laughed and said, "Director! Don't worry. They have boundless respect for you and the Military Intelligence Bureau, and will absolutely obey your orders."

Dai Nong was very pleased to be flattered and nodded, saying, "Alright! But I don't want Chu Xi to die at the hands of some nobody, that would be an insult to his heroism."

Zheng Jie said with a smile, "Anyone who makes the Director uncomfortable is fine to die however they want."

Dai Nong nodded and said happily, "Now Chongqing is free from Japanese spies and bombing raids, which is really great."

Zheng Jie flattered, "That's right! No matter how tense the situation is at the front, we can still play cards, dance, eat and drink like gods."

Dai Nong stood up and ordered, "Let's go! To the Sanqin Restaurant on Shaanxi Street."

Zheng Jie asked with a smile, "Director! You never used to go there."

Dai Nong said with a smile, "You don't know this, but you can eat and read there. Go to the finance office and get more money. I want to buy more books and support Chu Xi's family business."

"Yes!"

Zheng Jie hurriedly accepted the order, wondering to himself what Dai Nong was up to.

"Reporting to the Director! I'm back."

Chen Tianxin, dressed in rags, stood at the door, his voice choked with sobs, unable to speak.

There were also veterans from the Military Intelligence Bureau, such as Zhang Changsheng, Wang Senwu, and Wang Batian, at the entrance.

Dai Nong never expected Chen Tianxin to come back. In front of so many elderly people, he had to show his warm side.

He strode forward, grasped Chen Tianxin's hand tightly, and said excitedly, "Tianxin! It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back."

Zheng Jie looked at Chen Tianxin with a scrutinizing gaze and asked suspiciously, "Old Chen! You and Zeng Yun went deep behind enemy lines. Zeng Yun said that none of you died, and that you all surrendered to the Eighth Route Army with Tian Dabao. How did you get back from the Eighth Route Army?"

Dai Nong released Chen Tianxin's hand, slowly took a few steps back, and touched his waist.

He absolutely could not tolerate his subordinates defecting to the Eighth Route Army and had to enforce family discipline.

Chen Tianxin said solemnly, "Officer Zheng! I was forced by Tian Dabao to join the Eighth Route Army; it wasn't my own choice. When the Japanese were sweeping through the area, I broke away from the Eighth Route Army and had to beg my way back to Chongqing."

Dai Nong asked in confusion, "Didn't Chu Xi send someone to find you and then send you back?"

Chen Tianxin shook his head and said, "No! I haven't seen Chu Xi yet."

Wang Batian was a man of strong character. He patted his chest and said, "Chief! If Old Chen has any problems, I, Wang Batian, am willing to risk my life and fortune."

"Me too!"

Zhang Changsheng, Wang Senwu, and others also patted their chests and guaranteed it.

Dai Nong clapped his hands and laughed, "Good! Good! Good! This is truly a deep bond between comrades."

Zheng Jie felt he had gone a bit too far. Lacking connections, he couldn't afford to be friendless, so he suggested, "Director! Let Old Chen go back to work in the logistics department."

Dai Nong shook his head and said, "Once you've seen the ocean, you can't be satisfied with a river! He was demoted from the head of the logistics department. How can he do his job back in the logistics department? Let him be the deputy director of the archives."

Chen Tianxin kept bowing and said excitedly:

"Thank you, Director! Thank you for the promotion, Director!"

Dai Nong waved his hand and said, "Director Zhang! Take Tianxin to the archives."

"Yes!"

Zhang Changsheng gladly accepted the order.

After everyone had left, Dai Nong fell into deep thought.

Zheng Jie asked with a smile, "Director! Aren't you going to the Sanqin Restaurant on Shaanxi Street?"

Dai Nong shook his head and said, "I've lost interest! Old Zheng! Do you think Chen Tianxin was lying?"

Zheng Jie, not wanting to make too many enemies, sneered, "Chief! Would Chen Tianxin dare to lie to you?"

Dai Nong nodded and said, "That's right! Let's go! Let's go to the Yangtze River Bookstore to see that Dr. Yu."

Zheng Jie said with a smile, "Director! You're also thinking about the beautiful Yu from Xie Ren Hospital."

Dai Nong scolded, "What are you thinking? I was checking with Yu Xiaowan to see if Chu Xi had left."

Zheng Jie suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"

"Boom! Boom!"

A deafening explosion came from not far away.

Dai Nong was stunned, and after a long while, he gave the order:

"Officer Zheng! Go and investigate what happened immediately."

"Yes!"

Zheng Jie hurriedly accepted the order.

At this moment, Mao Feng rushed in and reported: "Director! Just now, several Japanese spies carried out a suicide attack and blew up an ammunition depot of the air defense force."

Dai Nong exclaimed in surprise, "An air defense unit's warehouse? Oh no! The master is going to scold me again."
