Chapter 497.

When Hidemi Morita dragged her luggage onto the ship and stood on the Talent Deck waving goodbye to Chiyoko, Chiyoko could no longer hold back her tears.

With this goodbye she didn’t know when she would be able to return to Japan to see her father.

She knew very well that her own decision, if she went back, will certainly not be popular with the family, whether it is the mother or two brothers will not agree.

Even her father, who was enlightened, actually disagreed in his heart, but he just couldn’t argue with himself.

This character, she and her father are very similar, when her father also want to marry her mother against all odds, he succeeded, but also love for life.

But what about her future with Cheng Mo? She was actually a little confused, not knowing what the future would hold.

Especially with the protracted war between China and Japan, and Chiyoko knows better that Cheng Mo is fighting for his own country and nation, and will never stop until he seeks that final victory.

They are together, this moment is joyful, but the next moment it, the future there is an indescribable can of worms waiting for them to go.

Cheng Mo hugged Chiyoko, gently patting her back, this girl, he is indeed worth cherishing, a wholeheartedly love himself, but also share the same beliefs with himself.

But his feelings with Su Mo’er were also true, he also loved Su Mo’er, that was the wife he decided to guard for life, to be with each other.

No one wanted to give up, he was a little bit overjoyed.

The steam whistle sounded, the ship began to sail.

Cheng Mo spent the money and gave Morita Hideo the best cabin, so that he could also suffer a little less on the way back.

“Go back, I’ll send you back to the consulate?” Cheng Mo said softly.

“Uh-huh.” Chiyoko nodded, with her father gone, her heart was empty, if she didn’t still have Cheng Mo by her side, she really didn’t know what would happen to her.

“Mo’er is pregnant, I may not be able to visit you often, I hope you can understand.” Cheng Mo said, a pregnant woman’s emotions are even more important to take care of, the lesser of the two, he really can’t do a bowl of water to completely level the playing field.

“It’s okay, I’ll come to see you and Sister Mori.” Chiyoko wiped the tear tracks at the corner of her eyes.

“Mori actually she knows all about it and doesn’t mind if I give you a name, but with your status with me, right now this isn’t the best way to go about it.” Cheng Mo reached out and grabbed Chiyoko’s left hand and said.

“I understand.” Chiyoko nodded.

“I’m sorry for the aggravation.”

“Minister Kawasaki said that your position in the Concession Patrol is becoming more and more important, and that he hopes you can do more for us.” Chiyo spoke of work.

“What does he expect me to do?”

“Intelligence, intelligence about the British.” Chiyoko said.

“Okay, I know, but I’m only the leader of the Chinese group now, even if the British trust it, they won’t let me have access to too much intelligence.” Cheng Mo said.

“They want to keep tabs on changes in British policy towards China, and possible aid, as well as the Americans.” Chiyoko said.

“Hmm.” Cheng Mo nodded, the Japanese dragged him into the water and tried every possible means to hide his identity, it was really for intelligence.

Although Tan Shaoliang cooperated with the Japanese in the Concession, he had no more relationship with the British than he, who had a British passport in hand.

And the Japanese presumably knew that he had joined the British intelligence agency in the Far East.

That was why they had gone out of their way to make sure Chiyoko took himself down, even to the extent of using the underhanded tactic of drugging him.

His relationship with Chiyoko was ostensibly that of senior and junior, and there was no way to hide his relationship with Morita Hideo, this too.

Of course, on the British side, he had also reported it long ago.

Tony Kai Ziwei also hoped that he could get some more information about the Japanese side through Chiyoko’s relationship.

His current identity was that of a double agent.

Right now, the Japanese and the British hadn’t torn their faces off yet, so he was able to move from side to side, and he was able to gain the trust of both sides.

Of course, the trust of both parties is based on the fact that he has enough value.

The focus of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that is still intelligence gathering, unlike 76, the main work is still counter-espionage, as well as suppression of anti-Japanese organizations. The car arrived at the downstairs of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, Cheng Mo grabbed Chiyoko’s hand and said, “If you don’t want to go to work today, then take a day off, anyway, it’s not like there’s no one to replace you.”

“No, I’ve already taken too much time off these days, it’s not good to keep taking time off.” Chiyoko jerked her hand away, opened the door, and got out of the car.

“Come over to the house that weekend.”

“I’m working late this week.” Chiyoko left with quick steps.

Cheng Mo watched Chiyoko enter the consulate and sighed before starting the car and leaving.

Chrysanthemum Fragrance Bookstore.

“Boss, has the Azalea magazine I asked for arrived?”

“Sir, what a coincidence that you came, it just arrived.” As soon as Kikuchi Mingyi raised his eyes and saw that it was Cheng Mo, he let out a surprised cry and immediately led the way in front.

“Thanks.”

“I knew you were coming.” Nakamura Gong said the first thing he said when he saw Cheng Mo.

“Mr. Nakamura, we have the same heart.” Cheng Mo sat down, hemmed and hawed, and naturally picked up the tea and took a small sip, “Not bad, the kung fu tea you make is getting better and better.”

Nakamura Gong smiled and said, “I don’t have anything else here, tea is enough.”

“Mr. Nakamura, are the Germans going to attack France?” Cheng Mo asked as he opened the door.

“How do you know?” Nakamura Gong asked in surprise, it wasn’t long before he got this information about the German-Japanese alliance.

If the Germans wanted to go after the French, naturally they would have to inform the Japanese side, since France also had colonies in Asia.

Moreover, since it’s a military alliance, it’s natural to have the responsibility and obligation to share intelligence.

Otherwise, if you act rashly, aren’t you ignoring your allies?

Without political mutual trust, who’s allied with you!

“Guess.” Cheng Mo laughed, he could say that he knew that going forward in history, the Germans would launch an attack on France early next month, and that the carefully constructed Maginot defense line by the French did not play any role at all.

France was taken by the Germans in a month, and the so-called strong armies of Europe were nothing but a joke.

“Your sensitivity to war is frighteningly accurate, Cheng, you shouldn’t be in our line of work, you should be a general.”

“At my age, in the army, at most a battalion commander, general, impossible.” Cheng Mo said, “Furthermore, the work I’m doing now, is it no better than a general, it’s not that I’m narcissistic, this country of ours doesn’t lack generals who can fight wars, it lacks people like me who can go deep into the back of the enemy to get intelligence, especially strategic intelligence.”

“The Germans may attack France next month, the exact time of launching, this I am not sure.” Nakamura Gong said.

“Then how do I report this intelligence upwards?” Cheng Mo froze, this kind of ambiguous intelligence can’t be reported indiscriminately, what if it’s wrong, wouldn’t that mislead the decision making at home?

“I can’t do anything about this, I don’t have any specific intelligence either, it’s actually already not easy to know this.” Nakamura gong said, “How is your relationship with Chiyoko?”

“It’s okay, the teacher’s hurdle has kind of passed.” Cheng Mo nodded.

“Have you ever thought about letting Chiyoko know your identity?” Gong Nakamura pondered for a moment before inquiring.

“No, that would change her attitude towards me, and it would create an unmeasurable danger for her.” Cheng Mo refused.

“You are afraid that you will cause danger to her, right?”

“Yes, I have too many identities, once exposed, it’s too dangerous.” Cheng Mo nodded.

“Alright, I respect your opinion.” Nakamura Kung Fu said.
