Chapter 20 Secret Arrest
Chapter 20 Secret Arrest
"Brother Lu, I need your help."
"We're brothers, no need to be polite, just say it."
Lu Mingxuan replied immediately, with complete sincerity and without any deception.
"Thanks, Brother Lu. Could I borrow a place from you?"
"Borrow a place? Borrow what place?"
Lu Mingxuan was a little surprised. He knew that Su Yuncheng was currently working at a newspaper and was the editor-in-chief. The people at the newspaper were all intellectuals. What was there to do with them?
In ancient times, the police station was a place where yamen runners stayed; they were considered rough people, completely different from Su Yuncheng's newspaper office.
"Your training base."
Su Yuncheng wanted to personally train Huang Chuanming to enhance his abilities and enable him to better conceal his true intentions.
His ability to conceal his true intentions is currently lacking. Fortunately, he discovered it himself; if someone else had found out, he would definitely be finished.
"Training base?" Lu Mingxuan was even more surprised.
"The newspaper staff are too weak; they must strengthen their physical training."
Su Yuncheng didn't reveal the real reason; the newspaper was a secret intelligence agency, and too many people couldn't know about it.
Since he had no suitable place, he had to come to the police station to borrow a space.
Huang Chuanming wasn't the only one training, but while the others were undergoing real physical training, Huang Chuanming was receiving special training.
If the police station training base weren't the most suitable place for him, with all the equipment he needed, Su Yuncheng wouldn't have come to Lu Mingxuan.
"Sure, no problem. How long will it take you?"
Lu Mingxuan readily agreed, saying it was a small matter and nothing to worry about.
"One month will suffice."
The thirty-day period was mainly for training Huang Chuanming to master some basic skills.
He can teach espionage skills elsewhere.
"I'll put in a good word, and you can bring them over anytime."
Lu Mingxuan nodded, and Su Yuncheng stood up: "Thank you, Brother Lu, I'll head back now."
"Don't leave today. Come to my house for a drink tonight. Your sister-in-law mentioned it last time, saying you haven't been there in a long time."
Lu Mingxuan was already married and had children.
His wife was a teacher in the French Concession, from a scholarly family, and was also a cultured person.
"Great, I'm in for a treat today, my sister-in-law's cooking is excellent."
Lu Mingxuan's wife is from Hangzhou, the same hometown as Su Yuncheng. Her cooking is indeed delicious and suits Su Yuncheng's taste very well.
In the Special Higher Police Division, Mizuno was in his office, with two subordinates standing in front of him.
One of them was his team leader, Takumi Endo.
"Team leader, it's confirmed that Hu Bang'an is a member of the Special Service. We've found his radio."
"Great! Gather people immediately and secretly arrest them."
Mizuno was jolted awake. He had failed in Xie Hanzhang's case and had not been able to catch the Red Party member who had appeared.
Fortunately, things turned around for him on the other side. Hu Bang'an was a target he had identified before the Chinese New Year and had been under investigation by Takumi Endo.
Persistence pays off; after waiting for so long, they finally caught Hu Bang'an red-handed.
"Team leader, should we just arrest them?"
Endo was slightly taken aback. Hu Bang'an was no ordinary person; he was the deputy chief inspector of the Hongkou Police Station in the International Settlement.
"That's right, just arrest them."
Mizuno now needs to do something big to redeem himself from the section chief's bad impression.
The investigation into Su Yuncheng put him in a very passive position, but as long as he could catch Hu Bang'an, this great achievement would be enough to make up for his previous mistakes and make the section chief value him even more.
The Red Party is nothing but rats; the KMT is their real adversary.
Whether it was Mizuno or any other Japanese, they all hoped that the empire would occupy this vast territory as soon as possible.
Their territory was too small to support the development of the empire.
Only by conquering all of China's lands can an empire truly become a world-leading power, and even use China as a springboard to occupy the whole of Asia, and even more territory.
Including the north.
"Should we report this to the section chief first?"
Endo asked cautiously, and Mizuno immediately glared at him: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"Your subordinate dares not."
Endo immediately stood up straight. Mizuno was his direct superior, and he made this suggestion because the section chief knew about it.
However, he underestimated Mizuno's ambition and overlooked the fact that Mizuno was an intelligence team leader transferred from the northeast.
When Mizuno was in the Tohoku region, he always went directly there to carry out missions, as it was their territory and very convenient.
Regardless of whether they are from the KMT or the KMT, arrest them immediately upon discovering their whereabouts.
Mizuno had long since developed this habit.
The intelligence team assembled quickly. Mizuno took Hu Bang'an very seriously. Hu Bang'an was not Xie Hanzhang; he had a gun and was quite skilled.
Moreover, if anything happens to him, the police will arrive immediately.
Arresting him must be done with caution. Mizuno brought the entire intelligence team with him. He would wait until Hu Bang'an returned home, then have an informant lure Hu Bang'an out of the house before making the arrest.
He is very experienced in this kind of arrest and can ensure that nothing goes wrong.
"Yuncheng, let's go home."
After the police station closed for the day, Lu Mingxuan put on his coat and left with Su Yuncheng.
Su Yuncheng arrived late in the afternoon. He was going to Lu Mingxuan's house for dinner, so he didn't leave and waited for Lu Mingxuan to get off work so they could go home together.
"Chief Inspector, Editor-in-Chief Su."
Just as the two stepped out, Captain Wu returned with his men and was surprised to see Lu Mingxuan and Su Yuncheng chatting and laughing together as they came out.
"You've worked hard. Everyone except the brothers on duty should go home."
Lu Mingxuan nodded slightly. Xiafei Road is a bustling area with a considerable number of police officers, especially at night, as some areas still require their patrols.
These areas are very important and cannot be overlooked.
"It's no trouble at all, it's all what I should do, please go ahead."
Captain Wu bowed respectfully, but Lu Mingxuan was just being polite and didn't pay much attention. He then took Su Yuncheng into the car and left.
"Do you know that Editor-in-Chief Su and the Chief Inspector know each other?"
Captain Wu asked his subordinates, and all the police officers shook their heads. Su Yuncheng's newspaper office was in their jurisdiction, so it was normal for them to know Su Yuncheng.
But they didn't know that the reason Su Yuncheng opened the newspaper here was because Lu Mingxuan was there.
Even without Lu Mingxuan, Su Yuncheng had ways to protect himself.
His newspaper, whether black or white, was off-limits to anyone; anyone who did would be doomed.
"Let's go back."
Unable to get any results, Captain Wu shook his head and led his men into the police station.
It seems he underestimated Su Yuncheng. The Chief Inspector's attitude towards Su Yuncheng is unusual and definitely not an ordinary relationship.
Fortunately, he had never offended Su Yuncheng. Although he had accepted money from Su Yuncheng, that was normal behavior.
Find an opportunity to inquire about their relationship; it might even bring you some benefits.
"Sister-in-law, you've become so beautiful!"
Upon arriving at Lu Mingxuan's home, Su Yuncheng immediately greeted Lu Mingxuan's wife, Lin Manman.
"You mean your sister-in-law wasn't pretty before, huh?"
Lin Manman laughed and scolded, her words questioning but her heart filled with joy, and Su Yuncheng sensed her true emotions.
"No, what I mean is, you used to be a celestial being, and now even a celestial being can't compare to you."
Lu Mingxuan patted Su Yuncheng's head lightly: "Alright, you've got a sweet tongue today. Manman, is the food ready? Yuncheng and I want to have a good drink today."
"Alright, alright, I'll go get it for you."
Lin Manman immediately went to the kitchen and brought out the dishes she had prepared. She had made six dishes, which looked very exquisite.
