Genius Agent

Chapter 30 Extraordinary Figures of the Martial World

However, this time everything was under Su Yuncheng's control.

Back on the training field, the five finished their run, the others rested, and Su Yuncheng continued to train Huang Chuanming alone. Today, he officially began training Huang Chuanming's tracking and counter-tracking abilities.

Xiao Wang and the others could tell that Su Yuncheng treated Huang Chuanming differently than he treated them.

Huang Chuanming also serves as the editor-in-chief's secretary, so it's normal that he's favored by the editor-in-chief.

Evening, in the International Settlement.

Cao Lijun was cleaning his gun, and he was accompanied by six people, all of whom were top-notch operatives from the Shanghai station.

Today, the station chief received orders from headquarters to find out whether Hu Bang'an was in a Japanese hospital. If possible, rescue him; if not, tell Cao Lijun to adapt to the situation.

Cao Lijun wanted to curse at this order.

What is meant by adaptability?

The station chief was unwilling to issue such an order directly because he couldn't rescue them and wanted to silence them; he was implying that the station chief should do it himself.

Cao Lijun does not know Hu Bang'an and has no relation to him.

If Hu Bang'an is really injured, rescuing him will be extremely difficult.

This mission was changed by Cao Lijun to eliminate witnesses.

Even if it was to silence them, there were only seven of them, and entering a heavily guarded Japanese hospital was extremely dangerous.

Cao Lijun had no desire to carry out such a task.

Unfortunately, this was an order from headquarters, and he couldn't refuse.

In the French Concession, Lu Mingxuan returned home.

"You guys go back first."

After Hu Bang'an got into trouble, he returned with several of his men and let them leave after they got home.

He lives alone at home now. When he gets home, he closes all the doors and windows tightly and won't open the door no matter who knocks.

Upon entering the living room, Lu Mingxuan closed the door and casually took off his coat.

"Chief Inspector Lu."

"Who?"

At the sound, Lu Mingxuan almost lost his mind. He immediately reached for his waist and saw a young man standing beside him with a gun pointed at him.

Lu Mingxuan's heart sank. Had Hu Bang'an betrayed him?

The person who came was Japanese. What did the Japanese want to do to him?

"Don't be nervous, we're on the same side."

After the young man took Lu Mingxuan's gun, a man who looked to be in his thirties walked out from the shadows with a smile.

"Sit down and let's talk."

The man sat naturally on the sofa as if he were at home. Lu Mingxuan glanced at the person next to him and sat down opposite him.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Shen Mozhou."

"Shen Mozhou? Is that you?"

Lu Mingxuan looked surprised, but a weight lifted from his heart. It wasn't the Japanese; it was the Special Service.

"That's right, I came to see you because of Hu Bang'an."

Shen Mozhou said softly that the head of headquarters was furious after learning about Hu Bang'an's accident.

That same day, an order was issued to find Hu Bang'an at the Shanghai station.

Headquarters also sent Shen Mozhou to Shanghai to thoroughly investigate the matter. Shen Mozhou was the deputy head of the training section of the Special Service Department, and Hu Bang'an was one of the elites he trained.

"Hu Bang'an's matter has nothing to do with me, so why are you contacting me?"

Lu Mingxuan shook his head, and Shen Mozhou laughed. Lu Mingxuan had been recruited into the Special Service Department by Hu Bang'an, so he was pretending to be crazy and denying his relationship with them.

"You don't need to doubt my identity. You were drinking with Hu Bang'an at the beginning of last year..."

Shen Mozhou recounted Lu Mingxuan's experience of being recruited into the Special Service Department, while Lu Mingxuan remained silent.

He did indeed doubt Shen Mozhou's identity. Having worked his way up in the police force for so many years, he wouldn't believe everything he was told.

"After Hu Bang'an's incident, the director has attached great importance to your safety. My purpose in coming here this time is twofold: first, to ascertain Hu Bang'an's situation, and second, to personally establish contact with you."

The three people Hu Bang'an recruited were all of high status. Apart from Lu Mingxuan, the other two held very high positions within the concession.

The Xiafei Road Police Station held a very high position among all the police stations in the French Concession, and Lu Mingxuan was the chief inspector, whose position was equally important.

Especially with Hu Bang'an exposed, the Special Service Department needs someone like Lu Mingxuan even more in the police station.

"Your monthly pay will be increased to five hundred silver dollars from now on."

Shen Mozhou extended his palm. The three people Hu Bang'an had recruited, aside from using some tricks, had always maintained their relationships with money.

Lu Mingxuan's monthly salary is three hundred silver dollars, which is much higher than his official salary.

Three hundred a month, that's three thousand six a year, which is not a small amount.

Now that it's increased to 500, it's equivalent to a benefit of 6,000 yuan per year.

Lu Mingxuan has his own ways of making money. For someone like him, if you don't pay him enough, he simply won't do anything for you.

A chief inspector of a police station is worth this price.

"How did Hu Bang'an get into trouble?" Lu Mingxuan finally asked, and Shen Mozhou smiled.

"The specific details are under investigation, but rest assured, we will ensure your safety."

Lu Mingxuan just needs to trust his identity; from now on, he will directly lead Lu Mingxuan.

"Hu Bang'an is likely injured; he's in a Japanese hospital, yesterday..."

Lu Mingxuan relayed the information he obtained from Su Yuncheng to Shen Mozhou, saying that it would do him no harm to resolve the matter of Hu Bang'an as soon as possible.

Otherwise, he would live in constant fear and wouldn't dare let his wife and children come back.

"I've already made an appointment with an orthopedic doctor at a Japanese hospital, and I'll be going there tomorrow morning."

"Are you going to a Japanese hospital?" Shen Mozhou asked immediately.

"That's right, don't worry. I know someone who's friends with the doctor there. He went there first, and the information I got earlier came from him."

Lu Mingxuan nodded, while Shen Mozhou frowned in thought.

Lu Mingxuan was the chief inspector of the French Concession, while Hu Bang'an was a police officer in the International Settlement. The two did not have much interaction, and if Lu Mingxuan appeared in the hospital, it would easily arouse the suspicion of the Japanese.

"Who is this person you know, and what does he/she do?"

"His name is Su Yuncheng. He is the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, but the newspaper was founded by a Japanese man named Tomoo Muto. Su Yuncheng studied in Japan and was Tomoo Muto's junior."

"Tomio Muto?"

Shen Mozhou asked in surprise. He was quite familiar with Muto Tomohiro; their training department provided targeted training for special agents.

His main responsibility was to target the Japanese.

He has all the information on some important figures in Japan.

Tomoo Muto works at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He is young and promising, has connections, is wealthy, and has good relationships with his colleagues. His future looks bright.

Previous investigations suggested that Tomoo Muto would likely be reappointed as consul, but his position as consul general in Shanghai was somewhat reluctant, and he might be transferred to another city.

However, he may become the Consul General in Shanghai in the future.

The consul's rank is very high.

Lu Mingxuan works at the police station, where he is supervised by the police department.

The Commissioner of Police is always French and also serves as a director of the Municipal Council.

The highest leader of the Board of Directors is the Chief Director.

The person who appoints the chief director is the French consul in Shanghai. Generally, the chief director has a close relationship with the French consul, or the consul himself holds the position.

This shows just how high the consul's status is.

"What's your relationship with him like?" Shen Mozhou asked directly.

"His grandfather was a legendary figure in the martial arts world who once saved my life, and we had a fairly good relationship."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Mingxuan added, "Old Master Su once taught Cao Yinshan all kinds of martial arts, and Cao Yinshan has always treated Su Yuncheng as a nephew."

Cao Yinshan?

Su Yuncheng is Mutou Tomohiro's junior brother and also has connections with a Green Gang boss.
