Chapter 221 Know Your Position
As he spoke, Sato Fumio called the guard at the door in and ordered him to go to the Special Higher Police to communicate with Otani Genichirō.
Chen Yang frowned, thinking to himself that something was wrong.
If Ye Xiadi was targeted by the Special High Police, it would be difficult for her to escape for a while.
You have to know that the people in the Special High Police are not the kind of people who would show mercy to women. If they are pushed to the limit, they might really lock Ye Xiadiji up.
Just when Chen Yang was worried and didn't know what to do, the guard came back in a hurry.
"Report, Major General Sato, Section Chief Otani said that the information provided by Special Assistant Chen should be the responsibility of the Chinese Affairs Section."
"It is not convenient for the Special Higher Police to intervene. I hope Special Assistant Chen can handle it on his own."
Uh, Sato Fumio and Chen Yang were both stunned.
"This Otani-kun is really narrow-minded and holds such a grudge." After a while, Chen Yang said quietly.
"Pfft," Sato Fumio laughed, "Mr. Chen, how come the head of the Special High Section looks like a grudge woman in your eyes?"
"Well, since Section Chief Otani is not in a position to intervene, I will go to the consulate to look for Iwai-kun and the others." Chen Yang stood up and said, "Mr. Sato, thank you for the tea. I'll leave first."
"Okay, Mr. Chen, come and have some tea with me when you're free. I have official business to attend to, so I won't see you off."
"Sure, sure,"
Consulate in Shanghai, Iwai Headquarters Office.
Iwai Sadatoshi was very surprised to see Chen Yang coming.
After listening to Chen Yang's information, Iwai Sadatoshi asked cautiously, "Assistant Chen, what do you mean now?"
"Let us break into the school and arrest people? I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate, right?"
"Guanghua University is very famous in Shanghai. If we just go in and arrest people without a solid reason, it will easily cause resistance from students."
"Besides, we are not those barbarians from the Special Higher Police. They have independent law enforcement powers and can arrest people without asking any questions."
"But we are different. In addition to dealing with spies, we also have to take into account various public opinions in the market to prevent the image of the consulate from being tarnished by others. If you arrest people without any evidence, the lady will definitely hold you accountable if she finds out."
"It seems that Iwai-kun has the same concerns as Major General Sato," Chen Yang shrugged and said, "He also thinks that a woman is not worth our fuss."
"Capturing this woman doesn't seem to have any other benefits except angering Commander Hu."
"In that case, I'll go back first. If there is any other solid evidence to prove that there is something wrong with this woman, we can discuss it again."
Chen Yang bowed slightly to Iwai Sadatoshi, then turned and walked out of the office.
After walking out of the office and making sure that there was no one around, Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Xiadiji was lucky. Both the consulate and the gendarmerie headquarters thought she was of no value, so she passed this hurdle.
The Shanghai market had begun to cool down in December. Chen Yang tightened his clothes and was about to leave when suddenly, a figure hurriedly walked up to him.
"Assistant Chen, don't leave in a hurry. The madam wants to see you." The person who delivered the message was Li Xianshu's secretary, named Matsushima Hisao, a top student who graduated from the Imperial University.
Chen Yang was slightly stunned, and asked in a gentle voice: "Mr. Songdao, why is my wife looking for me at this time? Is there something wrong?"
Matsushima Hisao looked around and said, "As soon as you left the office, Iwai-kun informed his wife of the purpose of your visit to the consulate."
"I see that Madam looks very unhappy."
"Please be careful later."
Unhappy? What did I do to make her unhappy? Although Chen Yang was puzzled, he still politely thanked Matsushima Hisao.
Walking to the top floor office, Chen Yang knocked gently on the door.
"Come in." Li Xianshu's voice sounded slowly, and it really sounded gloomy.
In addition to Li Xianshu, Kuroda Yusuke was also standing aside in the office, quietly not saying a word.
"Aunt, are you looking for me?" Chen Yang didn't know why Li Xianshu was in a bad mood, so he asked with a shy smile.
"Sit down." Li Xianshu pointed to the seat in front of her without raising her head.
Chen Yang was slightly stunned, and sat obediently in front of Li Xianshu.
Li Xianshu signed her opinion on the document quickly, and until she finished writing the last word, she slowly said, "I heard from Iwai-kun that you went to find Sato Fumio to help one of your subordinates, and even came to the consulate on purpose, just to capture a woman?"
Chen Yang defended himself, "Aunt, this Tan Shaojun just helped the Empire wipe out the two major organizations hidden in Shanghai, the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation."
"Now, the anti-traitor team of the Military Control Commission has been ordered to come to Shanghai to kill him. In order to save his life, he gave up a piece of intelligence."
"I personally feel that this information is not very valuable, but in order to prevent those people from having a bad impression of the empire, I still think I should help."
"Stupid." Li Xianshu scolded bluntly.
"You know what your current position is. You are the head of the Imperial Vertical Characters Section, deputy director of the Jinling Special Agents Committee, and economic adviser to the Finance Department."
"You still think you are a lone trader, who can get along with everyone and never offend anyone."
"When I saw how you treated Kuroda-kun and Otani-kun, I thought you had already adapted to your identity."
"It seems that I still underestimated the businessman in your bones."
"I remember I told you before that if you are a leader, you must act like a leader."
"Now, I'm going to remind you one last time. You are a person at the top. How can you run errands for some small people?"
"What does the life and death of your subordinates have to do with you? All you have to do is maintain your own status and prestige."
"As for the lives of the minions, that is their business."
"Besides, to put it bluntly, what qualifications do these traitors have to make you care so much?"
"If they can betray their beliefs for the sake of profit today, then tomorrow, when there is a greater benefit, they can also betray the empire."
"You can use these people, but you must not take them to heart. Do you understand?"
Chen Yang lowered his head after being scolded. Li Xianshu talked for such a long time, and it can be described in one sentence: I just like your unruly look.
After a while, Chen Yang raised his head and murmured, "I know, aunt."
Li Xianshu's expression eased a little, and she said, "I know you are serious about your work. You have been collecting information about Peter Lehman for so many days."
"From now on, you should focus on the negotiations and ignore other things."
"Peter Leiman's schedule has been confirmed. He will arrive at Hongqiao Airport the day after tomorrow. You will go to greet him on behalf of the Empire."
Chen Yang nodded and said, "No problem."
"You go back first." Li Xianshu waved her hand, signaling Chen Yang to leave.
Chen Yang did not dare to stay any longer. He bowed and hurriedly left the office.
Watching Chen Yang disappearing from his back, Kuroda Yusuke asked in a low voice: "Madam, are you really going to let Chen Yang handle all the negotiations?"
