Chapter 609: Could it be one of our own?
She sat down opposite Zheng Qian. They ordered coffee and waited for the waiter to leave. Yang Meiyu asked softly:
"What do you want from me?"
Zheng Qian smiled and said:
"I went to see Ding Mocun today, and this old pervert has taken the bait."
Yang Meiyu looked surprised and said:
"So soon? How did you get to know him?"
Although Yang Meiyu was very happy, she still had doubts in her heart. She had never found a suitable reason to approach Dingmo Village before, and the organization had also thought of many ways.
For example, he created an opportunity to meet Ding Mo Village by chance, but the people of Ding Mo Village were very cautious and rarely went out, and it was also difficult to track his whereabouts.
Or he could ask someone to introduce him, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate at the moment. If he just asked someone to introduce him, it would probably arouse Ding Mocun's suspicion.
Of course, it is even more impossible to recommend himself. For the cunning Ding Mocun, it is tantamount to seeking death.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Qian actually met Ding Mo Village today, and Ding Mo Village took the bait. This made Yang Meiyu surprised but also worried.
She had a series of questions in her mind. How did Zheng Qian meet Ding Mo Village?
Is this method safe?
Will it arouse Ding Mocun’s suspicion?
Did Ding Mocun really take the bait? Or was it all a fake-for-real affair?
As an experienced Central Bureau of Investigation agent and Zheng Qian's superior, she had to consider these questions and hoped to get answers from Zheng Qian, because these questions were directly related to the success or failure of this anti-espionage operation and their safety.
Zheng Qian knew that Yang Meiyu was worried because she had always reminded herself that she should never approach Ding Mo Village easily without a reasonable reason.
So she told Yang Meiyu in detail how Yuan Shikai, director of the Political Security Department of the Shanghai Municipal Government, came to inspect the police station two days ago and the director asked her to accompany him to receive him, as well as a series of events that happened afterwards, including today's meeting with Yuan Shikai at the special agent training school and Ding Mocun.
Zheng Qian felt that there should be no problem, but she didn't know what her superior would think after hearing this. This was related to the next step of action, which was why he came to contact her today.
Yuan Ye read the newspaper and listened quietly. Although they spoke softly and others could not hear them, it was no problem for him. He was now certain that Yang Meiyu was a member of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and should be Zheng Qian's superior.
After Zheng Qian finished speaking, Yang Meiyu remained silent and fell into deep thought. Although there were some coincidences, it still seemed logical and there didn't seem to be any problems.
The director of the political security department of the municipal government, Yuan Shikai, aroused her interest. He played a very important role in this matter.
She remembered that she had a tenant named Yuan Shikai, who worked in the secretariat of the municipal government. He was very young and she thought he was very valuable. The secretariat where he worked served the mayor and he should know a lot of valuable information.
He was a bachelor, so she wanted to use the beauty trap to win him over and see if there was a chance to develop him into her own person. However, he did not take the bait and repeatedly rejected her invitations, not giving herself any chance at all. In the end, she had to give up.
She had a question in her mind: could this Director Yuan and that Secretary Yuan be the same person?
Yang Meiyu took a sip of coffee and asked slowly:
"Isn't this Director Yuan very young? Has he worked in the secretarial department before?"
Yuan Ye had a premonition that Yang Meiyu would ask this question. It was impossible for her not to have such an association. He was very curious about how Zheng Qian would introduce his situation and how much she knew about it.
"Yes, he's only in his twenties and did work in the secretarial department. He was a student of Mayor Su Xiwu and is very talented, even the Japanese admire him very much.
I heard that he helped Su Xiwu become the mayor, so after Su Xiwu became the mayor, he directly promoted him from a small secretary to the director of the Political Security Department. He trusted him very much and gave him a lot of power.
Moreover, he had a very close relationship with the Japanese and was highly regarded by Yuichi Iwai, the Japanese Consul General and owner of the Iwai Mansion, who appointed him as the special commissioner to supervise the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters. Neither Li Qunshi nor Ding Mocun dared to offend him...
Do you know him?"
Zheng Qian didn't know why Yang Meiyu asked this, so she told her about Yuan Shikai's situation. This was all what she learned at the police station, and it was hearsay. Despite this, she, like many people in the police station, was curious about the rapid rise of this young political star.
Yuan Ye thought that it seemed that she knew quite a lot about his situation. He was afraid that after hearing this, Yang Meiyu would become interested in him again.
But he was not worried. After getting the key, he moved into the villa that Su Xiwu gave him and tried to minimize contact with Yang Meiyu. He didn't want to make the situation more complicated.
Besides, his status is different now, and it is not suitable for him to rent an apartment for a long time. He does not plan to give up the apartment for the time being, and it may be useful to keep it.
Yang Meiyu was very surprised. She didn't expect that Secretary Yuan was actually the same person as the Political Security Director Yuan Shikai, and he also had the pseudo-mayor and the Japanese as his backers. He was so powerful at such a young age. She really didn't realize it. It really shows that you can't judge a person by his appearance.
"I know him. He's my tenant. If I hadn't heard you say that today, I would have thought he was just a small secretary in the municipal government's secretarial department."
When Yang Meiyu said this, she felt a little regretful. Why did she give up at that time? It seems that she should be more proactive in the future, have more contact with him, and fully display her charm to see if there is a chance to pull him in.
She originally thought that Zheng Qian was the best candidate. She was young and beautiful, his subordinate, and had slept with him before. She could develop a further relationship with him. After all, she had so many favorable conditions.
But Zheng Qian's main focus now is on Ding Mo Village. Getting rid of Ding Mo Village is the top priority. Now she can only use her relationship as his landlord to do this.
Zheng Qian was silent for a moment and said:
"It seems that you have known him longer than I did. Although I have only known him for a few days and have only met him twice, I always feel that this person is a little different. I can't explain why I have this feeling.
He helped me a lot this time, and it was when I needed it the most. I don't think he did it on purpose. He couldn't have known what I wanted. The only explanation is that it was a coincidence, or maybe I was just lucky.
But I just had a sudden thought, maybe this is not a coincidence, could he be someone from our organization?"
