Chen Sai sat alone in his office, lost in thought. He couldn’t understand why, even if it was a charade, it should have been a Trainee Inspector from Team Two handling it.

What put the Team Seven Inspector in a position to command Li Yunqu?

…
…
In the third-floor office of Team Seven, Qing Chen saw off Li Qingfeng and sat in his office. Watching Chen Zhen return, he knew that the breakthrough in this matter had finally come.

Qing Chen also let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Qing Zhun and Qing Hua, who were just entering, witnessed this scene.

Qing Zhun said with a smile, “Boss, I thought you were calm and collected, strategizing from miles away. Turns out you’re not so composed after all.”

Qing Chen glanced at Qing Zhun, “Let’s focus on work first, any breakthroughs with Deer Island?”

Qing Hua nodded excitedly, “Deer Island just got in touch with us. They’re willing to exchange Jindai Yasuhara for the two Deer Island members we have. The exchange is set for three days from now, to take place in City Number 10.”

“Good news,” Qing Chen nodded, “I’ll report this matter to Mr. Shadow. The official hostage exchange should be handled by more professional people.”

The combat power of Intelligence Department One, after all, was a bit light. While enforcers are just that, they are not a proper army.

Thus, important matters had to be personally handled by the Spy Bureau under Shadow’s command, requiring the cooperation of dozens of spies and hundreds of Kite Falcons.

The identity of Jindai Yasuhara was too sensitive; they had to guard against Jindai attempting an interception.

At this moment, Qing Hua asked with some confusion, “Boss, this is just a casual question – feel free to answer or not.”

In just over ten days, Qing Hua’s way of addressing Qing Chen had become even more reverent, and his tone, more humble. He had completely forgotten about Qing Chen’s youth.

Keep in mind, Qing Hua was nearly 20 years older than Qing Chen.

Qing Chen looked at Qing Hua, “Ask.”

“Why are we exchanging for Jindai Yasuhara?” Qing Hua asked.

“Because we’re using Jindai Yasuhara to bring Qing Mu back home,” Qing Chen said calmly, “Jindai Yasuhara is Jindai’s intelligence chief in the south. If Jindai doesn’t trade, then we’ll replay everything that happened to Qing Mu on Jindai Yasuhara. The neuron linking and body snatching technology – Qing’s Family has it too. I don’t believe Jindai Yasuhara’s will is stronger than Qing Mu’s.”

Qing Hua was stunned.

The next moment, he bent at a ninety-degree angle and gave Qing Chen a deep bow.

“What are you doing?” Qing Chen frowned.

When Qing Hua looked up again, his expression was extraordinarily solemn, “So you’ve been preparing for this. Please forgive my rashness when you first took office. From now on, I will no longer question your motives. As long as you command, I am prepared to go through fire and water.”

“Why bring this up all of a sudden?” Qing Chen still frowned.

Taking a deep breath, Qing Hua said, “The name Qing Mu is all too familiar to Qing intelligence personnel. The very first lesson on ‘Loyalty’ we learned during training was about Qing Mu. We know what he did, and what he defended for us. There’s not a single Qing intelligence person who doesn’t want to bring him home. If you can really bring him home, I’m afraid all Qing intelligence personnel will truly respect you… despite your young age.”

Qing Chen paused for a moment.

He had not undergone training with Qing’s intelligence personnel and didn’t have a strong sense of belonging to the Qing Family.

So he only knew what had happened to Qing Mu and felt a touch of anger, but he couldn’t truly understand the weight of Qing Mu in the hearts of the Qing intelligence personnel.

And yet, Qing’s shadow had him handle this transaction, carry out this task.

In fact, it was about entrusting the hearts of the Qing intelligence personnel to him.

Having realized this, Qing Chen remained calm and told Qing Hua, “Jindai has yet to show any movement. The calmer it is now, the more cautious we need to be. Moreover, Deer Island’s handing over of Jindai Yasuhara might not be genuine; it could very well be a trap.”
