Chapter 237: Thorn Project
Chapter 237: Thorn Project
The corridor was quiet, with only the crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground.
Jiang Shiyuan observed the surroundings calmly. The atmosphere at this level seemed more solemn than usual.
Arriving at the door of Minamizō Yunko's office, the female colleague knocked gently.
"Come in."
A slightly hoarse voice came from inside.
The female colleague pushed open the door and Jiang Shiyuan followed her in.
In the office, Minamizō Yunko was sitting on the reception sofa, and Takahashi Yui was also there.
Jiang Shiyuan was slightly stunned and found that Takahashi Youi was blinking at her, signaling her not to be nervous.
Minamizō Yunko's face was still a little pale, but her mental state was obviously much better.
She was wearing a brand new khaki military uniform and her hair was tied into a high ponytail and combed meticulously.
The whole person looks heroic and a bit cold.
"Ayako, you're here." Nanzō Yunko smiled slightly and waved to Jiang Shiyuan.
"Section Chief Nanzō, Section Chief Takahashi." Jiang Shiyuan nodded slightly at the two of them, walked to the reception sofa and sat down.
Nanzō Yunko picked up the white porcelain teapot on the coffee table and poured two cups of fragrant tea.
One cup was given to Takahashi Yui and the other cup was given to Jiang Shiyuan.
Then she poured herself a glass and took a sip, as if she wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with the two of them.
Jiang Shiyuan couldn't help but wonder, didn't Nanzō Yunko always treat their Section 2 as an imaginary enemy?
She was afraid that Section 2 would steal the credit in Operation Sakura, so she didn't let Section 2 get involved in the entire process, from deploying the defense to executing the arrest operation.
Now it seems that not only her back was broken, but her brain was also damaged?
"I wonder what the two section chiefs want me to do?" Jiang Shiyuan asked tentatively with his hands folded.
Nanzō Yunko put down the teacup and swept her sharp eyes over Jiang Shiyuan and Takahashi Yui.
"I called you here today because I have something important to announce."
Her tone was unusually serious at this moment.
Jiang Shiyuan and Takahashi Youi both sat up straight subconsciously when they heard this.
"As you can see, the secret arrest operation led by our Section 1 ended in failure."
Nanzō Yunko spread her hands and got straight to the point: "As the person in charge of the operation, I was also sentenced to fifty lashes in public by the teacher."
Takahashi Yui pushed his glasses and tried to comfort him, "Section Chief Nanzo, the failure of this operation is definitely because the enemy is too cunning, not because of your lack of ability."
Jiang Shiyuan was surprised. "I really can't understand why the operation failed?"
"After all, in my heart, Senior Yunzi has always been an omnipotent person!"
"So, it must be like what Section Chief Takahashi said, the enemy is too cunning!"
She said flattering words, but her heart was calm and she even wanted to laugh.
Minamizō Yunko couldn't help but want to roll her eyes when she heard the two people's seemingly comforting but actually derogatory words, but her professional ethics made her resist the urge.
She coughed twice and continued, "Although the target person escaped during the chaos, we must find them as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless trouble."
Takahashi Yui nodded, "Section Chief Nanzo, do you have any good suggestions on this?"
Nanzō Yunko took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I plan to redeploy the capture plan."
“This time, we’re going to do it on two fronts.”
"On the one hand, we will continue to intensify our covert searches in various concessions and never let go of any clues."
"On the other hand, I'm going to start a secret plan."
She paused and looked at Jiang Shiyuan.
"Ayako, this plan requires your assistance."
Jiang Shiyuan's heart tightened. She knew that Nanzō Yunko must have had some bad intentions by suddenly being so polite to her.
"Section Chief Nanzō, please give me your instructions." Jiang Shiyuan nodded slightly.
"This plan is codenamed 'Thorns'."
Nanzō Yunko spoke word by word, "I will discuss the details with you alone."
She turned to look at Takahashi Yui, "Takahashi-kun, go back and get ready first."
"This time, we, Class One and Class Two, must work together!"
In fact, Takahashi Yui was somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that Minamizō Yunko issued tasks to her confidential secretary alone.
But he still decided to give his senior sister some face, stood up neatly, nodded and said: "Hi!"
Before he turned around and left the office, he gave Jiang Shiyuan a meaningful look.
Jiang Shiyuan met his gaze and winked at him playfully, as if to say, "Don't worry, Youyi, I will report everything to you word for word when I get back!"
At this time, only Minamizō Yunko and Jiang Shiyuan were left in the office, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
Jiang Shiyuan felt like a prey targeted by a poisonous snake and could be swallowed at any time.
"Ayako, I know you are very capable."
Nanzō Yunko suddenly spoke up, smiling, "After all, anyone who can successfully graduate from the Saikyo Japanese Spy Training Class is definitely not an ordinary person."
"So this time, the 'Thorns' plan requires you."
She walked up to Jiang Shiyuan and gently patted her shoulder.
"Serve the Empire well, and we will all remember your contributions."
Jiang Shiyuan forced out a perfect smile and said shyly, "Thank you, Senior Yunzi, for thinking so highly of me. It's a pity that I graduated with just the passing line."
"If the Takahashi family hadn't helped me with some behind-the-scenes manipulation, I might have really become the first intensive training student to be held back!"
"But regarding this 'Thorns' plan, I will definitely do my best and try not to mess it up!"
When Nanzō Yunko heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
Then she quickly adjusted her mood, walked to the window, and turned her back to Jiang Shiyuan.
"Ms. Ayako, there is no need to be so modest. Do you know what the 'Thorn' plan means?"
Her voice was low and no emotion could be heard.
Jiang Shiyuan shook his head cooperatively.
"The Thorn Plan is a special operation targeting Ling Jue Ding."
Nanzō Yunko turned around, her eyes as sharp as a knife.
"Reaching the top?" Jiang Shiyuan pretended to be surprised.
"Yes, it was the 'Ling Jueding' that caused 'Operation Sakura' to fail."
Minamizō Yunko gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to chew the name into pieces.
"According to the intelligence we have, Ling Jueding may have secretly opened up a secret transportation line from Ancheng to Hucheng."
"And your mission is to find a way to find this transportation line and completely destroy it!"
Jiang Shiyuan sneered in his heart but pretended to be frightened on the surface.
"Senior Yunzi, this mission is so difficult... Can I... can I really do it?"
"I know what you are worried about." Nanzō Yunko walked up to Jiang Shiyuan and put her right hand on her shoulder. "I will provide you with all the necessary resources and support!"
She paused, her tone turning cold, "But you also have to understand that you are the only Chinese in our Special High Section stationed in Shanghai, and Chinese is your mother tongue."
"If you infiltrate the enemy, it will be less likely to arouse the suspicion of those cunning Red Party members. This is also the reason why you are indispensable."
"Remember, this plan must succeed, not fail!"
"You should be well aware of the consequences of failure!"
