Espionage: I can read memory information

Chapter 23 The Banquet Begins

Xu Enzeng walked slowly toward Dai Chunfeng and said with a smile, "Brother Yu Nong, you've arrived quite early."

"Brother Kejun isn't late either," Dai Chunfeng said calmly.

Xu Enzeng wasn't angry at Dai Chunfeng's attitude and continued chatting with her with a smile.

Of course, the conversation revolved around the purpose of the banquet, during which he talked about how hard he had worked to relieve the principal's burdens.

This made Dai Chunfeng's already long face even longer with anger.

As they walked inside, they talked, with Xu Enzeng doing most of the talking.

"Brother Yu Nong, how's that Communist Party member doing now?"

Xu Enzeng's words instantly perked Shen Yi up.

Red Party members? Does the Secret Service have a Red Party member in their hands?

Moreover, it was a Red Party member whom Xu Enzeng personally intervened in, so it must be very important.

Shen Yi was lost in thought, but on the surface he remained silent, serving as a perfect background figure.

"There's no need for Brother Kejun to worry about that," Dai Chunfeng said coldly.

"I'm only saying this because he's so badly injured. It wouldn't be good if he died at the hands of your secret service," Xu Enzeng said with a smile.

"Why don't we hand him over to our investigation department? Whether he's dead or alive, it won't implicate Brother Yu Nong."

"Hmph, thank you for your kindness."

After saying this, Dai Chunfeng ignored Xu Enzeng and strode into the banquet hall, with Shen Yi immediately following behind.

Xu Enzeng behind him scoffed softly, then walked in with a smile on his face.

Upon entering the banquet hall, one finds that it is already quite full of people.

There were five tables in the hall, with the largest one in the center being the main table.

Principal Jiang had not yet arrived. Several people were sitting around the table, and many others were gathered around them.

The atmosphere was harmonious until Dai Chunfeng's appearance made things a bit cold.

However, it only lasted for a moment, and everyone present greeted Dai Chunfeng.

Although the things the Special Service did made them very unhappy with the organization, Dai Chunfeng was a favorite of President Jiang.

Some ordinary officials couldn't afford to offend him, while other important officials also needed to maintain a good relationship with Dai Chunfeng.

Xu Enzeng then went to the main table, where a group of officials greeted him, but with even greater enthusiasm than before.

Although the Party Affairs Investigation Department is also a secret service agency with the power to supervise the Party, Xu Enzeng has a powerful background.

Xu Enzeng responded to everyone with a smile.

Seeing Xu Enzeng's smug expression, Dai Chunfeng felt a little angry.

He was especially furious when he saw Xu Enzeng chatting and laughing with Gong Hao, the director of the First Bureau of the General Staff Headquarters.

When he spoke to Gong Hao before, the latter ignored him completely!

However, he knew that his background was indeed inferior to Xu Enzeng's. He was able to get to his current position mainly because of Chiang Kai-shek's appreciation, while Xu Enzeng had many other bigwigs in the Kuomintang behind him.

However, Dai Chunfeng would not underestimate himself. As long as he could maintain Principal Jiang's trust, his position would not be low.

Shen Yi stood behind Dai Chunfeng, looking around with a hint of excitement, but he only glanced at them a few times before continuing to stand obediently.

Seeing this, Dai Chunfeng smiled at Shen Yi and said, "Don't be too reserved. The banquet is still a while away. You can go and chat with the other young people first."

"Yes."

Shen Yi nodded in response and left the main table.

Shen Yi walked a few steps and randomly chose a table to sit down.

There were only a few people sitting at the table, all of whom looked relatively young, around thirty years old.

Although they were all dressed in civilian clothes and their ranks were not visible, Shen Yi knew that he was definitely the lowest-ranking officer present, a junior lieutenant who had just started his training.

After Shen Yi sat down, no one came up to talk to him. They had all seen that Shen Yi had come in with Dai Chunfeng, and naturally they looked down on the agents of the Special Service Department.

Shen Yi didn't try to strike up a conversation, but instead sat quietly to the side.

However, although he didn't go up to talk to them, the conversation among those people changed because of Shen Yi's arrival.

"I heard that several officials from the Executive Yuan were arrested a few days ago, apparently as Japanese spies."

"Yes, yes, I've heard about it too. Even the Executive Yuan has been infiltrated by Japanese spies. It's terrifying."

"Everyone should still be more careful."

"What's the use of being careful? Whether someone is a Japanese spy or not is up to them to decide."

At this moment, a man in a gray suit walked over and sneered.

The people who were chatting all stood up when they saw the man.

"Staff Officer Cheng"...

Cheng Yulin nodded to the group, then glanced coldly at Shen Yi beside him before sitting down next to him.

Shen Yi glanced at Cheng Yulin beside him and smiled in response.

He had just seen Cheng Yulin by the main table and noticed that the man was following behind Gong Hao.

Moreover, Shen Yi had just passed by Cheng Yulin when he left the main table and heard him whisper to Gong Hao, "Uncle."

Shen Yi didn't care about Cheng Yulin's hostility, but Cheng Yulin clearly had no intention of stopping.

"Brother, do you agree with what I said?"

"I wonder who Staff Officer Cheng is referring to?" Shen Yi asked.

Cheng Yulin laughed upon hearing this: "Hahaha, of course it's a Japanese person, who else could it be but you?"

Shen Yi looked at Cheng Yulin's disdainful gaze and laughed, "Officer Cheng is joking."

Upon seeing this, Cheng Yulin snorted coldly, then turned around and started chatting with the others.

Seeing how much Cheng Yulin disliked the Special Service Department, the others dared not continue talking about the Japanese spies.

After all, they don't have the same background as Cheng Yulin.

Shen Yi didn't take Cheng Yulin too seriously, but he had better pray that he didn't fall into Cheng Yulin's hands.

It was 5:30 in a short time.

Principal Jiang appeared in the banquet hall, and everyone hurriedly stood up to greet him.

The banquet officially began, and Shen Yi returned to stand behind Dai Chunfeng.

During the meeting, President Chiang praised the officials, saying that it was a blessing for the party and the country to have them.

Then came a barrage of compliments to the principal.

Shen Yi said he learned a lot.

However, he still couldn't figure out why Dai Chunfeng had brought him here.

He stood behind Dai Chunfeng until the banquet ended.

Shen Yi felt like he had been called here by Dai Chunfeng to be a background character, and he hadn't even had a bite of hot food.

Fortunately, Shen Yi ate a lot at noon, so he wasn't so hungry that his stomach was growling.

Otherwise, it would be awkward.

After the banquet, Dai Chunfeng did not leave, but followed Principal Jiang to the study on the third floor.

Shen Yi was placed at the top of the stairs on the second floor by Dai Chunfeng.

At this moment, Shen Yi was standing upright at the top of the stairs when he suddenly saw two women walking towards him.

The woman walking in front looked to be in her thirties and was dressed elegantly.

Another woman, around twenty years old, helped her walk this way.

The two women glanced at Shen Yi as they passed by, and then the older woman paused for a moment.

"Huh? You look kind of familiar."
