Chapter 87 Publicly Funded Blind Date
"I've received intelligence that Zeng Zhiyuan has betrayed us and has been assigned to infiltrate the organization's upper echelons in an attempt to recreate the tragedy that occurred two years ago!" Song Yu said.
"And he might not be the only one who betrayed us!"
Meng Lide's heart was pounding wildly; he hadn't expected the news Song Yu brought him to be so explosive.
He had already heard about Zeng Zhiyuan's situation from Yu Zhiping. The investigation is currently underway, and no abnormalities have been found.
He planned to have Yu Zhiping inform Zeng Zhiyuan in a few days, but he never expected that the other party would turn out to be a traitor!
Moreover, Song Yu said that there might be more than one traitor!
He was ordered to rebuild the Nanjing underground party. If it were to be infiltrated by the Kuomintang again, the Nanjing underground party would surely suffer another devastating blow.
Then he is a sinner for all time!
Fortunately, Song Yu notified Zeng Zhiyuan in time, and Zeng Zhiyuan had only met Yu Zhiping and had not met any of the other members.
Moreover, the work of waking him up was done by Yu Zhiping and another person, so everything could still be salvaged.
Meng Lide quickly informed Song Yu of the developments, and Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Comrade Lide, the only confirmed traitor right now is Zeng Zhiyuan. I suggest we conduct a thorough investigation of all members awakened in Jinling, or send them to the rear and use them with caution," Song Yu said.
He deliberately emphasized the last sentence.
He had no authority to interfere with the reconstruction of the Jinling Municipal Committee, so he could only do this.
Meng Lide knew Song Yu's intentions, but he still had some hesitation.
Ultimately, the problem stems from a lack of personnel. Directly abandoning some of the people previously stationed in Nanjing would significantly delay the resumption of work by the municipal party committee.
In the end, Meng Lide made up his mind. Compared to losing everything, the consequences of postponing the work were much less serious.
"Okay, we'll do as you say. I'll contact the organization immediately and move all those people, including some of the members they saw, away," Meng Lide said.
Upon hearing this, Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He had been genuinely worried that Meng Lide wouldn't heed his advice.
"Comrade Lide, this matter should be handled sooner rather than later. We absolutely cannot let the enemy realize what's happening, and we must make it convincing so that they don't believe we moved because they were exposed," Song Yu said.
"Especially Zeng Zhiyuan, we must not let him know that we have been exposed."
Meng Lide nodded upon hearing this, knowing that Song Yu was protecting the person who provided the intelligence.
"No problem, Comrade Huangshan, thank you so much this time."
"You're welcome, it's what I should do," Song Yu said.
The two then discussed some details before leaving the safe house separately.
. . . . .
Shen Yi was at the Special Service Department. The intelligence had been sent out, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He believed that the Red Party would handle the situation well.
With the Red Party's affairs concluded, he also prepared to continue arresting Japanese spies.
The Sino-Japanese War is about to break out. Capturing one more Japanese spy group now will contribute to the war effort.
The group was relatively obedient; they had already sent people out yesterday, and when he arrived today, some intelligence was presented to them.
However, it was all just some useless intelligence, so Shen Yi didn't blame them. After all, it was still in the initial stage, and he believed that there would be useful intelligence in the future.
He was reviewing intelligence in his office when the phone on his desk suddenly rang.
"Ring ring ring~"
"Feed? Madam Sun?"
"Yes, Mrs. Sun, I understand. Thank you so much. I'll be there in a bit."
Shen Yi hung up the phone, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. He hadn't expected Sun Luqing to actually introduce him to someone.
Logically speaking, Sun Luqing should already know his identity as a member of the Special Service Department, so why is she still preparing to introduce him to potential partners?
Could it be that they valued his status as Song Meiyu's student?
Shen Yi thought to himself.
And the facts were indeed much as Shen Yi had expected. Sun Luqing valued not only his status as Song Meiyu's student, but also his recent achievements.
As the director of the Military Commission's Investigation and Statistics Bureau, Chen Lifu naturally knew that Shen Yi had recently made many contributions, and Sun Luqing had also heard Shen Yi's name from Chen Lifu.
At first, he was shocked that Shen Yi was actually from the Special Service Department, and he thought he should put his previous words out of his mind.
However, after thinking about it carefully, she realized that she might be able to get closer to Shen Yi.
Although Chen Lifu is now the director of the Statistics Bureau, he has little say in the Special Service Department and can hardly order Dai Chunfeng around.
Shen Yi's potential is limitless. If Shen Yi becomes a high-ranking member of the Special Service Department in the future, and if they have a closer relationship with him, then Chen Lifu will be able to gradually gain influence over the Special Service Department!
Chen Lifu had long harbored the idea of bringing the Special Service Department under his control, which would greatly increase his power!
Shen Yi hasn't fully risen to power yet. If Chen Lifu can control him, it will undoubtedly be very useful for him in the future.
As for the relationship between Shen Yi and Dai Chunfeng, they didn't care. Even brothers can turn against each other, let alone the completely unrelated relationship between Shen Yi and Dai Chunfeng.
As long as the benefits are sufficient, nothing else matters.
And even if they don't succeed, they won't suffer any major losses.
So Sun Luqing and Chen Lifu discussed it and thought it was a good idea, which led to the scene just now.
Meanwhile, Shen Yi did not leave the Special Service Department immediately, but went to Dai Chunfeng's office.
"Senior!" Shen Yi stood up straight and said.
"Wen Yuan, what's up?" Dai Chunfeng asked casually.
"Reporting to the Chief, Madam Sun wishes to arrange a blind date for me."
Upon hearing this, Dai Chunfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Madam Sun? Which Madam Sun?"
"Director Chen's wife, Sun Luqing."
"Oh, so it's her. How do you know her?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi quickly recounted his experience attending Song Meiyu's banquet last time.
After listening, Dai Chunfeng nodded. He had already guessed what Chen Lifu and his wife were thinking.
Damn it, they're still not satisfied with having the Party Affairs Investigation Department? That bastard Chen Lifu still has designs on the Special Service Department!
Moreover, Chen Lifu looks down on him, and now he wants to bribe his junior. It's really despicable!
Fortunately, Wen Yuan had a close relationship with him and didn't hide anything from him, otherwise this bastard might have really succeeded!
"Wen Yuan, what do you plan to do next?" Dai Chunfeng asked.
"Uncle, I think this marriage proposal is worth considering," Shen Yi said.
"Director Chen has been squeezing our Special Service Department. He always wants the good stuff from the Party Investigation Department. Their current idea is nothing more than to bribe me and then slowly take over the Special Service Department."
"If that's the case, they'll definitely want me promoted quickly. Then I can play along with them while asking for some resources. That way, our department's strength will improve."
Shen Yi had thought about it briefly and figured out what Chen Lifu and his wife were thinking. They assumed that he definitely wanted to get close to Director Chen.
After all, the two Chens have a great reputation, not only because they are financially powerful, but also because they have a strong background in the Kuomintang.
Shen Yi knew that it wouldn't be long before the Special Service Department would expand significantly into the Military Intelligence Bureau, and Dai Chunfeng's status would rise accordingly, completely leaving the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Zhongtong) behind.
At the same time, he also knew that if Dai Chunfeng found out that he had sided with Chen Lifu, he would definitely be in deep trouble.
However, Chen Lifu is still very powerful now, and he can gain a lot of benefits by getting closer to him.
Upon hearing this, Dai Chunfeng's eyes lit up; he felt that what Shen Yi said made a lot of sense.
As for whether Shen Yi would really be bribed by Chen Lifu, he was indeed a little worried, but not much. Shen Yi came to tell him that he must know the consequences of his betrayal.
Moreover, he could guess Shen Yi's little scheme; he just wanted to gain some benefits from both sides.
In Dai Chunfeng's view, greedy people are easier to control.
Hmph, this time, the advantage is on my side!
"That's right, we'll do it your way," Dai Chunfeng said with a smile.
"Dress up nicely when you go, and bring lots of gifts. I'll reimburse you when you get back."
He knew Shen Yi wasn't short of money. But he couldn't just leave without showing some appreciation, could he?
Otherwise, it would discourage your subordinates.
"Yes! Thank you, Chief!" Shen Yi quickly stood at attention and said.
