Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

Chapter 218 I am the Bait

Chen Yan didn't expect Wang Shuxin to invite him to dinner. After all, the two sides had just had a fight.

But at this time he admired Wang Shuxin's character even more, and found him to be a bit of a free and easy-going person.

Chen Yan did not act pretentiously and said generously:

"Okay, let's drink together. But I have to treat you tonight, as an apology to our comrades in Shanghai."

Chen Yan's action also gave Wang Shuxin a lot of face. As a guest, he took the initiative to invite the host to dinner. This must mean that Wang Shuxin's performance today was recognized by Chen Yan.

Don't forget that Commander Chen Yan has a very high social status.

Wang Shuxin was also embarrassed, but after pushing and pulling two or three times, he still couldn't defeat Chen Yan.

Chen Yan called Tang Caiying. The Pearl Hotel she managed was very high-end, so Chen Yan directly booked the entire hotel.

......

In the evening, Chen Yan and his men were waiting in the box early. There was a table full of white wine, red wine, and foreign wine, and the scene of tonight was immediately opened.

After a while, Wang Shuxin and Wang Hu rushed to the "Pearl Hotel".

This restaurant is a place where the upper class in Shanghai often hangs out all year round. Although he is now a section chief of the Municipal Bureau, he is still not considered important in the eyes of these big shots.

Wang Hu frowned and said, "With our special identities, it would be too conspicuous to come to such a place."

"Now that we are here, we should make ourselves at home. Today we are hosted by our friends from Shanxi, so we should follow the host's wishes."

After saying that, Wang Shuxin pushed the door and entered the room.

"Shuxin is here, come and sit next to me," Chen Yan stood up and greeted him warmly. Seeing this, Li Yunlong and others also stood up.

"Brother Chen, this is too expensive. This is my first time in a place like this."

"Don't be polite, let's just eat something casually. There's no need to be too reserved today. I've booked the place, so no outsiders are allowed."

The Pearl Hotel is booked out?

Wang Shuxin and Wang Huxin were startled.

What kind of place is this? Normally, it’s good enough to book a table, but Chen Yan actually booked the whole place.

Wang Shuxin looked at Chen Yan curiously.

I don’t know how many secrets this Commander Chen from Shanxi has.

He is definitely not an ordinary person. I must make friends with him.

Everyone was divided into hosts and guests, and Chen Yan waved his hand and ordered, "Waiter, serve the dishes."

Tang Caiying had already instructed that a distinguished guest had booked the entire place today and that he must be served well.

At this time, the restaurant manager heard Chen Yan's call and quickly turned around to start serving the dishes.

Soon, one delicious dish after another was served on the table. Looking at the table full of delicacies from land and sea, Li Yunlong started drooling.

Damn, I’ve been here for so many days and finally saw something good.

Tang Caiying takes Chen'er out to eat every day, but Chen'er never takes me with him. I need to have a good rest today.

Li Yunlong took a bite of the food, took a sip of the wine, and started to show off.

Chen Yan took the initiative to stand up and pour a glass of wine for Wang Shuxin and Wang Hu, and this move made Wang Shuxin admire him.

He is worthy of being the commander of the Eighth Route Army. This kind of vision is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

"Commander Chen, please lend me your glass of wine today. I would like to toast you and thank you for letting bygones be bygones."

Chen Yan quickly stood up and said, "Brother, the unpleasantness is in the past, let's not mention it again, I'll have a drink with you."

After saying that, the two of them drank the white wine in their glasses in one gulp.

Li San quickly poured wine for the two of them, while Wang Hu, who was standing by, was flustered and at a loss. Chen Yan saw it all, but said nothing.

Wang Shuxin explained in detail the recent situation of the Shanghai underground party and pleaded for Chen Yan's understanding.

After hearing this, Chen Yan couldn't help but frown.

"The liaison stations have been shut down one after another. This kind of thing must be nipped in the bud as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

"Commander Chen, you hit the nail on the head, and this must be resolved as soon as possible.

However, I have just taken over the job here and I still have no idea what to do, which is really worrying me."

Wang Shuxin stole a glance at Wang Hu and whispered to Chen Yan:

"If this matter is not handled well, I will probably be blamed for it."

After listening to this, Chen Yan raised his eyebrows.

He understood the implicit meaning of Wang Shuxin's words. Li Hong pushed the problem onto Wang Shuxin. This was Sima Zhao's intention.

It was done well. That was because Li Hong judged people accurately and handled the situation decisively.

If it doesn't go well, all the responsibility will be on Wang Shuxin.

Chen Yan tapped the table with his wine glass and looked at Wang Shuxin and Wang Hu thoughtfully.

It’s quite a mess here in Shanghai!

After a while, he finally asked:

"With such a big incident happening, you must have conducted an internal study to see if you have identified any suspicious persons."

Wang Shuxin leaned his arms on the table, bent over, and looked down at Wang Hu.

Following Wang Shuxin's eye signal, Wang Hu slowly said:

"Commander Chen, we have now identified three suspects, but after repeatedly analyzing their recent movements, we are still unable to determine who did it.

Team leader Li also saw Comrade Wang Shuxin's ability to solve cases in the police station over the years and believed that his thinking must be clearer than ours, so he entrusted this important task to him."

Chen Yan shook his head, "No, this person was able to succeed repeatedly within your organization, he must have received professional training, otherwise he wouldn't have left no trace.

Based on this analysis, this person must be a spy sent by the enemy.

According to your method of investigation, it is estimated that you will not be able to find this person in the short term, and over time, your losses will be great."

When Wang Shu heard Chen Yan say this, his mind buzzed.

Then I would be the unlucky one.

He asked anxiously: "Commander Chen, what do you think we should do next?"

Chen Yan thought about it again and again, and finally made up his mind and said firmly:

"Shu Xin has finally infiltrated the enemy, so let Wang Hu take charge of this matter, and you command behind the scenes."

Wang Shuxin nodded and said, "This is the best. Otherwise, if the traitor knows my identity, all my efforts over the years will be in vain."

"Commander Chen, can I find the spy by myself?"

Chen Yan glanced at Wang Hu and said, "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet.

This ghost is an old hand, and it is extremely difficult to make him reveal his flaws, but we can fish and let him take the bait himself."

Suddenly, Wang Shuxin had an epiphany, "You mean, pass a false message to the enemy?"

"Yes and no, this news is definitely fake, but it is also true."

Seeing the two people's puzzled expressions, Chen Yan continued:

"Spread the word among yourselves that the organization has sent a killer from outside to eliminate the top leaders of No. 76.

As long as the news is true, I believe the insider will contact No. 76, and then he will be exposed."

"Foreign assassin?" Thinking of this, Wang Shuxin shouted:

"Commander Chen, what you mean is..."

"Yes, I am the killer."

"This is absolutely not possible. You are now a senior commander of the Eighth Route Army. How can we let you take this risk?"

Chen Yan smiled evilly, "Hehe! My mission will be completed soon. If I don't cause trouble to Shanghai before I leave, then my trip would be in vain.

I want to see how good the infamous No. 76 is."
