Chapter 3 Department Selection
"Waaah~"
The train stopped at Jinling Xiaguan Railway Station. Although it was a little late, no one complained.
In this day and age, arriving safely is already a blessing; why expect to be on time?
However, even though the train had arrived at the station, they could not get off immediately because the train station had been taken over by the secret service and the police.
Lin Jiang was the first to peek out from the train carriage door. When he saw the people standing on the platform, he immediately jumped off the train and ran over.
"Section Chief!"
Lin Jiang gave a standard military salute.
Zhao Lijun nodded. "How's the situation?"
"Reporting to the section chief, I have successfully completed my mission; both Japanese spies have been captured!"
Lin Jiang shouted loudly, while glancing at Zhang Yuan, the head of the intelligence section, who was standing to the side.
Zhang Yuan's somewhat greenish face was actually quite handsome.
"good!"
Zhao Lijun patted Lin Jiang on the shoulder happily, "When we get back to the office, I'll ask the director for credit on your behalf!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but snort coldly. If it weren't for the intelligence provided by their intelligence department, how could Lin Jiang have been captured so smoothly? If anyone deserves credit, it's their intelligence department!
If the intelligence officers hadn't been tied up with other things before, they would definitely have participated in this operation as well.
Zhao Lijun, who was standing to the side, also noticed Zhang Yuan's cold snort, but he was in a good mood today and didn't bother with Zhang Yuan.
At this moment, Shen Yi and a group of agents came down, and Zhao Lijun hurriedly went over to them.
He was very excited as he looked at the two Japanese spies who were being held down, and then he looked at Shen Yi beside him.
"Who are you?"
"Good morning, Section Chief Zhao! This is your subordinate, Shen Yi. I just graduated from school this year and was assigned to the Special Service Department, but I haven't started working yet," Shen Yi said, saluting.
Lin Jiang quickly came over and whispered the report in Zhao Lijun's ear.
Before long, Zhao Lijun learned about Shen Yi's basic situation.
"Good, you did a great job! To complete such a difficult task before even starting work, with such a pillar of the Party and the country, how can we not have a prosperous future?"
Zhao Lijun was generous with his praise.
"You flatter me, Section Chief. This mission was entirely thanks to Team Leader Lin's overall command. I only lent a small hand," Shen Yi said modestly.
"Haha, not arrogant or impatient, not bad, not bad."
Zhao Lijun praised Shen Yi a few more times before ordering his men to take the Japanese spy away.
This scene left Zhang Yuan, who was standing behind, completely stunned.
When did Zhao Lijun start speaking so sweetly? How come he didn't know?
He looked at Shen Yi, a hint of curiosity rising in his heart.
Afterwards, all the secret service and police personnel left, and the train station returned to its former state.
Shen Yi also went back.
. . . . . .
In 1934, the headquarters of the Special Service Department moved from No. 53 Ji'e Lane in Jinling to No. 1 Honggongci.
At this moment, Shen Yi was standing outside the director's office, and he could still hear the laughter and conversation coming from inside.
A short while later, Zhang Yuan came out first. He glanced at Shen Yi, smiled at him, and then left.
This operation not only resulted in the capture of two Japanese spies, but also yielded a piece of intelligence that he needed to arrange immediately.
As for Shen Yi, he had already guessed in the office that the other party must have some relationship with Dai Chunfeng. No wonder Zhao Lijun spoke so nicely.
He had just suggested to Dai Chunfeng that Shen Yi go to the intelligence department, but that was just to curry favor with Dai Chunfeng.
He didn't really care about Shen Yi. His abilities were still unknown, and sending him to the intelligence department might cause some trouble.
So he didn't say much to Shen Yi; expressing goodwill was enough.
A few minutes later, Zhao Lijun also came out. He looked at Shen Yi, who had perfect posture, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Shen Yi, the section chief invites you in," Zhao Lijun said with a smile.
"yes!"
Shen Yi stepped forward and knocked on the door. After hearing a "Come in," he pushed the door open and went inside.
The first thing Shen Yi saw was this famous spy chief from the Republican era.
Dai Chunfeng has a rather long face; although not handsome, he is very distinctive.
His eyes, in particular, seemed to be able to see right through people's hearts.
"Greetings, Director! Student Shen Yi is here to report for duty!" Shen Yi greeted respectfully.
Dai Chunfeng once served as a political envoy at the Zhejiang Police Academy, so Shen Yi's claim of being a student is perfectly valid.
"Haha, Wenyuan, you've really changed a lot since I last saw you."
Wen Yuan is Shen Yi's courtesy name, given to him by Shen Jiuling, derived from "literature carries the Way, and foresight and wisdom."
Although Shen Jiuling was a big boss of the Green Gang, he always wanted to cultivate Shen Yi into an intellectual.
Shen Yi lived up to expectations and was admitted to the medical school of St. John's University in Shanghai.
Shen Yi was influenced by patriotic ideas during his university years, so after graduation he enrolled in a special training class at the Zhejiang Police Academy, which made Shen Jiuling very angry.
However, in the end, he couldn't persuade Shen Yi otherwise and let him go.
So Shen Yi actually only attended the Zhejiang Police Academy for less than a year.
Although his grades weren't particularly outstanding at the police academy, thanks to Dai Chunfeng's connections, he was successfully assigned to the Special Service Department.
Dai Chunfeng looked at Shen Yi with gentle eyes, as if he were looking at his junior.
"You don't need to be so polite with me. There are no outsiders here. Just call me Uncle."
Dai Chunfeng had been a hoodlum in Shanghai for a period of time and got to know many members of the Green Gang. It was during that time that he met Shen Jiuling and called him "Big Brother".
Dai Chunfeng had met Shen Yi when he was a child.
"Uncle." Shen Yi smiled.
The word "uncle" brought the two closer together.
"I heard from Li Jun that you performed very well in this mission. Like father, like son, you did not disgrace Brother Shen," Dai Chunfeng said with a smile.
"Uncle, you flatter me."
As he spoke, Shen Yi took out an envelope and handed it to Dai Chunfeng. "Uncle, this is a letter that Father asked me to bring to you."
Dai Chunfeng nodded. After taking the letter, he did not open it immediately, but put it in the drawer of his desk.
"Uncle, this is a painting called 'Upright and Lofty' that I acquired when I first returned to Shanghai. I'm bringing it here as a gift for you."
Shen Yi then took out a painting and handed it to Dai Chunfeng.
Upon hearing this, Dai Chunfeng became somewhat agitated. He took the scroll from Shen Yi's hand, opened it, and glanced at it.
He knew quite a bit about antiques and could roughly tell that this was an authentic piece.
Furthermore, Shen Yi would never give him a fake, so this must be an authentic piece.
"Wen Yuan, this won't do. I haven't given you a gift in all this time, how can I accept your present?"
As Dai Chunfeng spoke, he rolled up the scroll and was about to return it to Shen Yi.
"Uncle, what are you saying? You are a person I respect very much. When I saw this painting, the first person I thought of was you."
"Besides you, I can't think of anyone else who could match this painting so well, so please accept it," Shen Yi hurriedly said.
"A Picture of Lofty Integrity and Upright Character" is a painting by Xia Chang, a painter of the Ming Dynasty. As the name suggests, it represents a person of high moral character and integrity.
Shen Yi's words struck a chord with Dai Chunfeng.
Seeing Shen Yi's resolute expression, and knowing that he genuinely liked the painting, Dai Chunfeng understood.
"Since that's the case, then I won't refuse, but I'll consider this painting as something I bought."
After saying that, Dai Chunfeng took out three small yellow croakers from the drawer and stuffed them directly into Shen Yi's hand.
"You must take it, that's an order!"
"yes!"
Obeying orders is a soldier's duty, and Shen Yi naturally had to listen.
Seeing this, Dai Chunfeng nodded in satisfaction.
Now that the small talk is over, it's time to get down to business.
"Wen Yuan, you should have some understanding of the Special Service Department by now, right?" Dai Chunfeng asked.
Shen Yi nodded. On the way, Lin Jiang had already introduced him to all the departments of the Special Service Department.
Which department would you like to join?
