Chapter 116.

The opening remarks were all false, the main event came later.

An occasion like this was something Cheng Mo would probably come to often in the future, and this time he had the feeling of dancing on three eggs.

“Cheng, I want to talk to you alone?”

“Okay.”

“Please.” The two of them found a relatively quiet corner, undisturbed, apparently this had been prepared long ago.

“Cheng, let’s get right to the point, we would love to have you work for us, you already know that.” Kai Ziwei took out a box of cigars and handed one to Cheng Mo, “Have one?”

“No, I’m not used to the flavor of cigars.” Cheng Mo took out a cigarette and said, “I still smoke it.”

“We know you have a background, your sister Cheng Hua is the third aunt of the former Shanghai police commander Yang Hu, right?”

“Was, but they have long since broken up their relationship and have separated.” Cheng Mo did not deny it.

“But it was Yang Hu who gave me the go-ahead for you to enter the Bureau of Public Works, that’s always right, right?” Kai Ziwei laughed.

“Yes, I don’t deny that I did get into the Ministry of Public Works Bureau with the help of Yang Hu, but with my education and ability, even if I want to get into the Ministry of Public Works Bureau, it’s not difficult, right?” Cheng Mo said, there was no way he would easily let Kai Ziwei hold himself.

His education was not low, and he knew three languages, and he did not have messy social relations, passing the examination for recruiting people for the Ministry of Public Works Bureau was a complete piece of cake, even if he started as an agent, there was no problem.

It was only through this relationship of Yang Hu that he was able to walk a little smoother within the Bureau of Public Works.

“Cheng, as far as I know, you should have come to work at the Ministry of Public Works Bureau a long time ago, why did you drag your feet for so long?” Kai Ziwei asked.

“I was working at the Salt Bank, when I was assigned to stay behind at the Four Row Warehouse, duty calls, I couldn’t just leave my job and walk away.”

“Loyalty to duty, this is a very noble quality, and this is what I appreciate about you.” Kai Ziwei said, “Then what did you do when you stayed alone and lived in the Four Row Warehouse for three months?”

“I volunteered and joined a stretcher-bearer team to carry the wounded, carry corpses and such.” Cheng Mo answered, this was the first month of work, and what he said was the truth.

“You didn’t go to war?”

“I’ve been on it, but I’m not a combatant, I’ve even been wounded, I was wounded in the buttocks by shrapnel, and I was lying in the hospital for more than ten days. ……”

This is half-true and half-false now, it is not considered deception, Kai Ziwei wants to investigate, only to go to the lone military camp, but the lone military camp side he has greeted, there will be no one to tell him the truth.

“You returned to the tenement with the consolation group, right?”

“Yes, my sister just happened to find an opportunity to enter the consolation group and then brought me back.” Cheng Mo nodded, this was also true.

In fact, Cheng Mo later learned that he stole the ghost tanks “shelling” British positions is just a child’s play, in the Yangtze River channel, the Japanese Navy directly shelled British ships, the U.S. Navy “Bannai” ship directly sunk by the Japanese, the Japanese compensation and apology, everything is back to normal. After the Japanese apologized and made compensation, everything was restored to the status quo ante.

This “appeasement” and “isolation” are the two of them playing the game of not caring about their own business and hanging on to their heads.

Of course, sooner or later, they will eat their own fruit.

“So what have you been doing this month?” Kai Ziwei asked.

Here came the heavy lifting. He didn’t know what the British knew, but since he asked it to his face, he would probably find out something.

The Lixing Society was conducting the Qingpu Special Training Course, and it was near Shanghai, so with the importance the British attached to Shanghai, it was impossible that there was no news at all.

But if it was specific to an individual, that might not be the case. Besides, he was not in office at the time, and they would not be particularly interested in him.

Therefore, the investigation of him is bound to be all after the fact, the Qingpu class has long been withdrawn, he has a useful alias, and he is not yet a cadet, I am afraid that the Secret Service is not yet so powerful as to be able to find out about himself.

But the relationship between his sister and Dai Yunong, he is not clear whether the British have grasped, from 32 years they began, only Dai Yunong love history is chaotic, more women, except that his sister is not a vase, at the beginning of the establishment of the Special Branch of the Lixing Society, that is out of the strong, the Zhejiang Police Department, many people have close relations with his sister, and now they are all also in the military system as an important position, so Dai Yunong to his sister and to other women is Not the same.

But this relationship to the general public, may not understand, but to pay attention to the situation in China’s intelligence services, may be no clearer.

Telling the truth may not win the trust of the British, instead they will be more suspicious of you, if you can betray others, why can’t you betray me?

“My sister asked me to go to Hong Kong.”

“You went to Hong Kong, to do what?” Kai Ziwei froze, this situation obviously he failed to understand.

“Exploring, she wanted me to go to Hong Kong with her, but she couldn’t get away at that time, so I was the only one who went.”

“Then why did you come back and join the Bureau of Public Works?”

“I met a girl I liked in Hong Kong, so I followed her back.” Cheng Mo explained naturally, “She was in Shanghai, I couldn’t run to Hong Kong, wouldn’t that make us impossible.”

“So, you went into the Bureau of Public Works to work in order to stay in Shanghai, for your love?”

“Yes, and we got engaged very quickly, and now we’re going to get married soon.” Cheng Mo answered frankly, isn’t it normal for young people to disregard everything for love?

“It’s the second young lady of Ningbo Chamber of Commerce Vice President Su Shouan’s family, Ms. Su Moer right?” Kai Ziwei asked, this he knew.

“Yes.”

“Congratulations, Cheng, will you buy me a cup of wedding wine?”

“Of course, if Mr. Kai Ziwei is willing to reward me.” Cheng Mo didn’t refuse, in fact, he couldn’t refuse.

“When is the wedding, just give me the invitation.” Kai Ziwei laughed, seemingly interested in attending Cheng Mo’s wedding.

“Okay, back to the topic, we know that you have some relationship with Wuhan side, your sister also has close contact with Wuhan’s dignitaries, including Mr. Du of the Qing Gang who has connections in the Shanghai Bund, we hope to set up a secret liaison channel, and after choosing and choosing, we feel that you, Cheng, are the most suitable candidate.” Kai Ziwei said.

“I, I have nothing to do with the national government side, I came back from studying abroad and entered the bank to work, and then entered the Ministry of Public Works Bureau, I don’t have any connection with the national government?” Cheng Mo said with a stunned expression.

“It’s true that you don’t have a direct relationship, but you have an indirect relationship, we need a contact channel that can be open to avoid something unmanageable from happening, you understand what I mean.” Kai Ziwei explained.

“You are asking me to be a gray intermediary, passing messages for you and the Wuhan side, right?” Cheng Mo had guessed a few things, but Kai Ziwei directly said it, which was out of his expectation.

This Englishman is also too honest, naive and somewhat cute. (I checked the information, the British Secret Service intelligence organization in the Far East, is really stupid naive, engaged in all the action, are the end of the failure)
