Chapter 546

Cheng Mo then went to find his senior Wen Qiu with this top secret information. This was too big a matter, and he had to discuss it with someone.

鈥淪enior Wen Qiu, this is what Chiyoko came to see me about today and gave to me,鈥� Cheng Mo directly handed over the top secret information that Chiyoko had dictated to Wen Qiu.

Wen Qiu reached out and took it, reading it carefully. The more he read, the more serious his expression became. He was an old intelligence worker, and he could tell at a glance whether the information was true or not.

The content of this intelligence and the things it described were almost flawless, and it was clearly not deliberately forged.

Given Chiyoko’s relationship with Cheng Mo, she would not deceive him with such intelligence, and besides, she probably didn’t even understand what it meant.

And if it was Kawata Tatsuo testing Chiyoko, it wasn’t impossible.

Although he was using Chiyoko to get a hold of Cheng Mo, Kawada Kazuo did not know Cheng Mo’s identity, so he should not have suddenly tried to test him…

Moreover, Chiyoko was an important secretary, and it was easy for her to access these confidential documents.

Of course, the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway was particularly important to the overall situation of China’s resistance war at the moment, and this was definitely valuable intelligence.

Judging from the content of the intelligence, the Japanese were already preparing to attack the port of Haiphong, and once the preparations were complete, they would launch the attack immediately.

There is not much time left for China to respond.

鈥淐heng Mo, this piece of information is very important. What are you going to do with it?鈥� Wen Qiu asked.

鈥淚 plan to report it to the headquarters of the Chongqing Military Intelligence Agency as soon as possible, but what should I say about the source of the information?鈥� Cheng Mo asked.

鈥淒o you have to say anything?鈥�

鈥淚f I don’t say where the information came from, how can the higher-ups believe it and take it seriously? Then there would be no point in passing the information back,鈥� Cheng Mo explained.

鈥淭here are many sources of intelligence you can access in Shanghai. You can completely fabricate a source. Anyway, they won’t be able to verify it.鈥�

鈥滳an I fabricate an intelligence broker who doesn’t exist, and in the future, I can exchange information from this person?鈥� Cheng Mo was impressed by Wen Qiu’s genius idea.

鈥漈hen I can fabricate a German or Italian to be my intelligence broker. Do you think Dai Yunong will arrange for someone to investigate this person?鈥� Cheng Mo asked.

鈥淭here is that risk. If Dai Yunan has someone else investigate this person and finds no such person, he will lose trust in you. However, you can forge an identity for reporting purposes and let Dai Yunan know that this person is fictional and that the real source of intelligence is Chiyoko. Wouldn’t that be good?鈥�

鈥漈his is a good method, which can protect Chiyoko from being exposed,鈥� Cheng Mo nodded.

鈥淵ou decide for yourself.鈥�

鈥漇kylark (Chiyoko) gave me this top-secret information, but she didn’t report it to Comrade Cuckoo (Isao Nakamura). Even when I deliberately revealed my identity as a member of the military intelligence in her presence, she didn’t say anything.鈥� Cheng Mo finally reported the most troublesome matter to Wen Qiu.

鈥漌hat? This is a serious violation of organizational discipline.鈥� Wen Qiu was shocked. 鈥漇he did it because of you?鈥�

鈥淚 think so. She didn’t want to report my identity as a member of the military intelligence, but at the same time, she gave me such top-secret information. She put her personal feelings for me first. I know this is wrong. She made a mistake of principle, but we caused all this ourselves if we hadn’t kept it from her…鈥�

鈥淗iding your identity from her was also your proposal. Of course, it was also necessary for work. We also felt that it was necessary. She had no relevant underground work experience. Once she knew the secret of your identity, she would inadvertently be discovered. This would be fatal for you and her.鈥� Wen Qiu nodded.

Hiding Chiyoko’s identity was not just Cheng Mo’s decision alone, but also something that he and Nakamura Isao had discussed and agreed upon. If Chiyoko had known Cheng Mo’s identity from the start, she would probably have been unable to control her words and actions when interacting with Cheng Mo, leading to the exposure of her identity.

After all, Chiyoko had just arrived in China, and she was not yet accustomed to the competitive environment here. The competitiveness here was much more brutal than in Japan, and she was still just an amateur, having only received some theoretical training, and was completely unable to reach the level of a qualified underground worker.

At that time, it was most appropriate for her to play her true role, because Kawashiro Tatsuo would definitely be watching her from behind.

鈥淵ou think it’s time to tell her your true identity?鈥� Wen Qiu understood Cheng Mo’s thoughts.

“If we continue to hide it, then she will continue to make mistakes. I can’t just stand by and watch. Besides, she’s no longer the little girl who didn’t know much when she first came to Shanghai. I think if she knows my identity now, it will be beneficial to the work that follows.鈥� Cheng Mo also gave serious advice after careful consideration.

Chiyoko must have deliberately concealed her identity from her superiors out of concern for her own emotions. Moreover, such top-secret information is even more serious in nature, as she violated the rules by not reporting it and directly brought it to herself.

If this is not stopped, it will get even more serious later. We can’t just turn a blind eye to it, can we?

At the moment, the only thing to do is to directly inform the other party of your identity, so that they understand that you can help yourself without doing so.

鈥淎re you sure you want to do this?鈥� Wen Qiu said, 鈥楾his will exponentially increase the risk of exposure for both of you.鈥�

鈥滻 have another suggestion.鈥�

鈥漎ou want to switch Lark’s allegiance to ours?鈥� After working together for such a long time, Wen Qiu could say that he knew Cheng Mo pretty well.

鈥漎es, since my identity is known to her, there is no need to pass information to us through Cuckoo anymore, it’s just redundant.鈥�

鈥淏ut transferring organizational affiliations is not that easy. Lark belongs to the Japanese Communist Party. Although we are both communists, we are not affiliated with each other, but only in a cooperative relationship. To transfer organizational affiliations, it requires coordination from both sides.鈥�

鈥滻 transferred over, didn’t I?鈥�

鈥漈hat was for work.鈥�

鈥漇o transferring Lark over is not for work?鈥�

鈥漈his is not something you or I can decide. We have to consult with the higher-ups.鈥� Wen Qiu did not feel rejected, but said, 鈥淵our case is also a special case, and it will be handled specially. I don’t know how to handle it in the future.鈥�

鈥淲e’ll talk about the future later. There’s no point thinking about it so much now,鈥� Cheng Mo said, knowing what Wen Qiu was talking about.

鈥淚’ve secretly looked into the case of the missing German, and it’s related to the Black Dragon Society,鈥� Wen Qiu said to Cheng Mo, suddenly remembering this matter.

鈥淭he Black Dragon Society, the biggest Japanese gang in China, sells opium, gathers intelligence, and does whatever is profitable?鈥� Cheng Mo asked. 鈥榃hat do they want with a kidnapped German engineer?鈥�

鈥滻t should have something to do with the Hebrews. This case is very deep, and you’d better stay out of it,鈥� Wen Qiu warned.

鈥漌hat about the missing people before that?鈥�

鈥滻t may be related to the Japanese biochemical weapons experiments in Jinling, but without evidence, I can’t say for sure,鈥� Wen Qiu said.
