After talking to Wang Xing, Cheng Xiaofeng's mood improved a lot. He also became more and more aware of Wang Xing's true purpose for defecting. Combined with the assassination order issued by the higher-ups, he couldn't help but worry for Feng Ti. Feng Ti had been kind to him, although in the face of national justice, the kindness of knowing was not worth mentioning. However, it was this kindness that allowed him, once a weak scholar, to shoulder the burden of national resistance when the country was in danger. The only thing he was sad about was that in the face of righteousness, even a Japanese agent understood the truth. Why didn't those in power in the national army understand why the Chinese and the Japanese could establish a national united front and why the internal forces of the national army were still fighting each other?
He also understood that his fate as a spy was never up to him. His own feelings would only bring danger because he had to obey his superiors and follow the big picture.
After the Special Higher Police's intelligence team and the communications team were reorganized, the various departments returned to stability. The Sakura Team was still a few days away from reaching Guide (Shangqiu). At present, Guide had already gathered the heavy forces of the national army to defend the Longhai line and support the Xuzhou Battle of the Fifth Battle Area. The national army was continuously entering the Fifth Battle Area and using the Taierzhuang victory to create another Japanese army.
He was very pessimistic about the national army's future in the Battle of Xuzhou. The national army had experienced the Battle of Songhu. The main forces of the central army had suffered heavy losses. The weapons of the miscellaneous troops were inferior, their tactics were poor, their morale was low, and things like losing control of the battlefield happened from time to time. More importantly, they had poor coordination with each other. They preserved their strength and fled without fighting. They seemed to have a lot of troops, but they did not have the right to control the air. They did not have enough heavy weapons such as artillery and tanks, and their combat strength was extremely weak.
He was also not optimistic about the overall situation of the Japanese army in Xuzhou. The Japanese army had not completed the expansion plan and could not send more troops from the country. They could only mobilize troops from the Japanese invaders who were already lacking in strength. The Japanese army in China had a total of about fifteen divisions, but only about ten divisions could be transferred to Xuzhou for battle. As a result, the troops sent to Xuzhou were not enough to complete the task of encircling and annihilating the 600,000 or 700,000 national troops near Xuzhou, and the troops left behind were even more worried about being stretched. They were not even enough to guard the key points on the main railway lines of Tongpu, Pinghan, Jinghu, Jiaoji, Zhengtai, and Jinpu.
On April 18th, north of Xuzhou, the Japanese 10th and 5th Divisions began to attack the 2nd Group Army, 20th and 3rd Corps. On one hand, they had strong combat strength, and on the other hand, they had a large number of people. After a few days, both sides were in a stalemate. Meanwhile, the Japanese and Chinese troops in other directions were keeping an eye on each other's movements while strengthening their deployment. Both sides were accumulating strength. The national army had the posture of fighting a decisive battle in Xuzhou, and the Japanese army also wanted to encircle and annihilate the national army's effective strength in Xuzhou. Just like that, they were wary of each other and gritted their teeth to hold on. The situation of the war was unpredictable. Guide's position was also becoming more and more important. It had to be said that Kumamoto Shunji had a strong strategic vision in choosing Guide.

The Sakura Teleportation Office was on the right track. The news of the first war zone's internal army and Japanese army was continuously summarized here. Jiamei's daily headquarters sent the compiled telegrams to Cheng Xiaofeng's office in the morning.
Cheng Xiaofeng was impeccable when it came to this subordinate. She was serious and agile. The key was that she never asked much and strictly obeyed his orders. Moreover, she was extremely tight-lipped.
Originally, Cheng Xiaofeng had planned to follow the three radio stations, but he was relieved to hand them over to this subordinate.
One of the three radio stations came from the password of a military command team provided by Wang Xing, and the other was the password of the military command team that he had cracked himself. The passwords of these two radio stations were in the hands of Matsuta Yuta, who had never instructed him to take action. Cheng Xiaofeng understood that the chief was waiting for a big fish to take the bait. Sure enough, last night, one of the radio stations had sent a telegram. Today, Yuta Matsuta must have known about this meeting. This made him feel uneasy. After all, the leak of these two sets of military codes was related to him. He should provide appropriate help when necessary.
There was also a radio station that was the contact password of the underground party. It was the one with a very high level of confidentiality. It used the ancient poem " Spring River Flower Moonlit Night " as the key. It was a key that the underground party used their life and wisdom to transmit. Although he did not have any special feelings for the underground party, he was sincerely impressed and deeply apologetic to the underground party member. He also hoped to protect this radio station with a high-level password.
However, in the past two days, the underground party's radio station had become active. The messages were related to the reason why the liaison was arrested last time. They emphasized confidentiality and were preparing for the next meeting.

On April 22nd, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Little Xiang would appear on the road from the Military Police to the Special Higher Police on time. This was the reason why Uncle Ho tried his best to keep a tricky old customer. Two, four, six, eight, and ten were the five days of contact. Little Xiang would appear on five different roads, and the time was fixed.
It was almost his routine to go to the military police headquarters. At three or four in the afternoon, when the military police were relatively free, they would come to his Chinese class.
Just as Cheng Xiaofeng, who was dressed in plain clothes, walked out of the Special Higher Police, a gaze flashed past the corner of the window in the room next to him. Wang Xing's lips curled up, and his gaze turned cold.
Of course, Cheng Xiaofeng didn't know about the eyes behind the window. He also didn't know that Wang Xing had already started planning an assassination against him.
As usual, he didn't ask for a car, nor did he ride a bicycle or rickshaw. He just walked leisurely on the way to the gendarmerie. As the construction progressed, some of the construction waste on the roads had been cleared. There was no longer a need to take a detour to the gendarmerie. Of course, shortcuts could be chosen, but they would miss the fixed route with Xiao Xiang.
It seemed that the connecting route had to be re-planned, but the Zhapu Road section had to be preserved. Along the way, they would pass through three theatres. The movie industry on the island was prosperous, and the business of several theatres on Zhapu Road outside the concession was also very good. In the afternoon, there were also crowds in front of the Donghe Hall Theater, Hongkou Theater, and Willy Theater. Small merchants and hawkers were everywhere, which provided great convenience for the connection.
Xiao Xiang would usually linger in front of the vendors and movie posters, leaving the tea boxes behind him to be knocked around.
However, Cheng Xiaofeng had already passed by two theatres today, but he still did not see the tea box with the obvious logo and the teenager who was gradually getting taller. Could it be that something had happened? Could it be that Uncle Ho had not returned yet?
However, at the next moment, Cheng Xiaofeng was stunned. He saw a short and fat businessman walking and stopping in the crowd with his hands behind his back, looking around from time to time.
This was the first time the two of them had met in three years. In order to protect Cheng Xiaofeng, the team cut off all contact with him, including Old He himself.
In the past three years, their appearances had changed drastically. The neat and tidy Uncle Ho in her memory had become so fat that he was almost bloated.
Cheng Xiaofeng was completely unrecognizable to Uncle Ho. Even his height had changed. His trademark bow-legged legs and slightly hunched back made him two inches shorter. His young and handsome face was now unshaven, and his eyes were listless. These were the most difficult features to conceal with disguise techniques, and in three years, Cheng Xiaofeng's original appearance had changed.
When the two of them passed each other, Cheng Xiaofeng said in a low voice,"Instructor Ho!"
Uncle Ho was stunned. This was a completely unfamiliar voice, and the person who brushed past him was also completely unfamiliar. However, he knew that this was the person he was looking for. However, he did not stop. He did not even react and continued to move forward for 100 meters. Along the way, he used his peripheral vision to identify all kinds of suspicious people in the direction that the person came from. At the same time, he confirmed the surrounding streets, windows, roofs, and other places that could be used for surveillance. He needed three minutes to make sure that the two of them were within two hundred meters of each other before turning around.
This was the standard method of meeting acquaintances in the Xiangtan Training Camp. They would confirm whether the other party had any tails, and as long as there was any abnormality, they would not turn back and cancel the meeting.
This method of meeting acquaintances had also become a compulsory course for military spies, and it was even named 'two-way lighting'.
Just as Cheng Xiaofeng was passing by the cinema and continuing to " illuminate " his way forward, a man wearing sunglasses stood up and walked to the bar counter in a cafe opposite the Willy Theater. He took off his sunglasses and picked up his phone to ask for a number.
"Hey, he's already past Willy's.”
"Understood!"
The person walked out of the cafe. It was Hu Junjie. He looked into the distance and vaguely saw Cheng Xiaofeng's back in the crowd. A cold smile appeared on his face. He put on his sunglasses, rode his bicycle, and quickly headed in the direction of the Special Higher Police.
——————
In the last row of the cinema, in a dark corner, four hands were tightly clasped together.
"Tianxu, you're good. You've really mastered this disguise technique. Even your voice has changed.”
"I can do it by changing my habits for a long time. I can already act as a left-handed man. Instructor Ho, you've changed a lot too.”
"Easy, compared to you, I am too easy. However, this is also a kind of disguise.”
"Did you bring back any news from the headquarters?”
"Allow me to speak slowly."

It turned out that Dai Li had gone to Changde and established the Changde Military Command Station to plant a spy beside Feng Ti. Now that Feng Ti was not in power, it was inevitable that he would not be a potential threat on his path to power in the future.
Accompanying Dai Li was Chen Gongshu, the instructor of the Xiangtan Training Camp. He had joined Dai Li two years ago and was currently one of Dai Li's Four Great Vajra. Not long ago, he had assassinated Wang Kemin in Tianjin. Uncle Ho was targeted as soon as he got off the long-distance bus. After doing a counter-tracking, he found out that it was Chen Gongshu's subordinate, and he was a student in the same period as Cheng Xiaofeng.
Old He realized the seriousness of the problem, so he had to sneak into the Changde Garrison Command to meet Feng Ti.
Dai Li had said something to the principal before the last assassination operation, and the principal had ordered Feng Ti to do so. Otherwise, he would transfer this Special Team Five to Dai Li's command. Feng Ti had no choice but to give the assassination order. Driven by his desire for power, Dai Li's table manners had become uglier and uglier.
In addition, there were two pieces of news. One was that the team that Feng Ti had placed in the investigation department of Manchurian Iron had been captured. The best student of their Xiangtan First Training Camp, Xue Zhiping, was missing. One was that Feng Ti had arranged for his niece, Feng Xiaorong, to become the liaison between Shanghai and Changde. She would arrive in Shanghai in a few days and bring the funds for the event.
In order for Fengti to accumulate power and return to the core of power, he needed Stork to provide him with valuable battle information.
——————
Old He explained the situation along the way in detail. Cheng Xiaofeng understood Feng Ti's situation and couldn't help but feel dejected. As for Chen Gongshu, the appearance of this person shocked Cheng Xiaofeng. This was the first instructor of his spy career. Many of his skills had been branded with Chen Gongshu's brand. Chen Gongshu had started to use the students who had failed in the first training camp. Moreover, it was in Changde. It was obvious that he no longer cared about Feng Ti.
Cheng Xiaofeng also explained the situation on his side, especially the fact that Kumamoto Shunji had seen through his team and then let them go. However, there was still no mention of Fu Wenyun, because Fu Wenyun had access to the highest level of intelligence of the Japanese army, which was too important.
Old Xiang muttered," I underestimated this opponent. It's a pity that he's talented. The Japanese still have capable people!"”
"That's right, Old Xiang. We can't let our guard down at any time. We were lucky this time, but we won't be so lucky next time. Right, the commander had a meeting this Sunday, and the Special Higher Police had already learned about it. The meeting location and secret code were: It seemed that Wang Xing from Shanghai Station had indeed left a trick up his sleeve. He had hidden an intelligence team. Who would be the one who would come to meet him?”
"The possibility of Chen Gongshu is relatively high, but we still need to confirm it.”Old Xiang said without hesitation.
"Ah, Instructor Chen!"
"Yes, just after Kumamoto Shunji left, another strong opponent came.”
Both of them fell silent. They had an ominous thought in their hearts. This group was going to face another life and death decision.
"However, no matter what, we can't let Instructor Chen fall into the hands of the Japanese. He should be here to rebuild Shanghai Station.”
"Tianxu, they have already attacked us in Hunan.”
"It's different. We're family.”
The old member of the Alliance revealed a look of admiration and nodded.

After the movie ended, the two of them followed the crowd out of the cinema. Cheng Xiaofeng looked at his watch. It was still early, so he still had to make a trip to the military police.
Kimura Takuya had already been discharged from the hospital. He was his best friend in the military police. It was also Kimura Takuya who suggested Cheng Xiaofeng to be the visiting Chinese instructor of the military police.
For the past two days, Daisuke Ozaki had been pestering him to teach him some words to express love. This reminded Cheng Xiaofeng of the conflict at Mishimatei.
The military police in the operation team also respected this humorous Chinese instructor. Therefore, Cheng Xiaofeng was relatively happy in the military police. Major General Tamata and Yuta Matsuta also reached a tacit understanding. Between the two departments involved in intelligence and public security, there were indeed two levels of communication channels, one from above and one from below.
Things that couldn't be resolved through the upper channels due to the reputation of both parties could often be resolved through the lower channels. For example, coordinating small operations, extraditing suspects to each other, and resolving small conflicts between the two departments.
As long as Cheng Xiaofeng went to the gendarmerie, no one would stop him.
During this period of time, the departure of his teacher and Ichiro Suzuki allowed him to find some comfort in the military police.
Turning from Zhapu Road was the location of the wonton stall. If they walked further, it would be a relatively quiet road. Even during the day, there were not many pedestrians. He had walked this path countless times, but today, he had an indescribable strange feeling.
Cheng Xiaofeng seemed to feel a trace of danger approaching. This road was too quiet today.
Since they were less than half way to the military police station, he quickened his pace!
