Chapter 188 New Mission
"Why do you care what they say? No matter how much they talk, it can't change the fact that you are the webmaster!" Gu Shenyan said with a smile.

"This stationmaster position is difficult! Lao Gu!" Then Wang Shian said with a bitter face:

"I asked Director Fang downstairs before. If you want to get rid of the agency, you have to show results!"

"But right now, there is no achievement for me to achieve. Not to mention the distant past, Chen Moqun has caused chaos in our station just for a fictitious postman."

"I really don't want to, and I don't dare to, conduct any self-inspection at the station. If I were to investigate this unknown postman, the station would be in chaos. Isn't that destroying the Great Wall?"

Gu Shenyan was relieved to learn that Wang Shian had no intention of checking the postman again, but he did not let his guard down and still had to take necessary precautions.

Thinking of Wang Shian’s question, Gu Shenyan asked:

"Didn't you talk to Director Dai about this?"

"I heard that you are actively trying to get close to Director Dai. He will definitely take this issue seriously!"

Wang Shian sighed and said:
"I just called Director Dai again. He said that our station has a task before. As long as I complete it, he will handle the rest. But I also need to show real achievements!"

Gu Shenyan said doubtfully: "Isn't it over now? With Director Dai showing you the way, you should get some credit. It shouldn't be that difficult! Could it be that he didn't tell you what the mission was?"

Wang Shian patted his thigh and praised:
"As expected, you really understand me, Old Gu. I really don't know what the mission is, and I'm too embarrassed to ask Director Dai. If I ask, won't it make me look incompetent!"

"But you knew that Chen Moqun had blocked my information before!
"So I searched the files carefully, and I actually found out that it was a task assigned by the higher-ups not long ago, and this task had been suppressed by Chen Moqun and not yet completed."

"What mission?" Gu Shenyan asked doubtfully, but he became alert in his heart.

"Come with me!" He brought Gu Shenyan to the office and took out a file from the file bag in the drawer.

Then Wang Shian said seriously:

"The man in the photo is called Ikeda Eisuke. He has been in Shanghai for a while. Recently, he has been in frequent contact with the Nakajima Trading Company in the island country."

Gu Shenyan looked at Ikeda Eisuke's photo and file and said seriously:

"I have the impression that Nakajima Trading Company is an island country's spy agency in China, but we have never caught them, and we have no evidence that they are spies!"

"Since this Ikeda Eisuke has been in frequent contact with them, he must be up to something!"

Then he looked up at Wang Shian and asked, "What instructions does the headquarters have?"

Wang Shian pointed to the photo of Eisuke Ikeda and said:
"The headquarters wants us to find out the true identity of this person as soon as possible and his real purpose for coming to Shanghai before deciding how to deal with him!"

Gu Shenyan looked at Ikeda Eisuke's photo and said:
"This person is definitely not a simple person. I'm afraid we need to let the action team investigate as soon as possible!"

Then Gu Shenyan smiled and said:

"This is your first appearance, and it's a case supervised by the Jinling headquarters. If you do well in this case, the headquarters will be able to see your ability, and it will be just around the corner to remove the word "agent"!"

Wang Shian said solemnly: "It wasn't me who fought this battle beautifully, it was us!"

Gu Shenyan laughed and echoed, "Haha! Of course it's us."

Wang Shian patted Gu Shenyan's shoulder and said with a pleasant expression:

"Old Gu! I have recommended you to the higher-ups to be the deputy station chief of our station. This matter~!"

Gu Shenyan quickly interrupted Wan Shian and continued:

"Wait, wait! You really want me to be the deputy station chief?"

"I agreed to help you, not because I'm the deputy station chief, but mainly because, Lao Chen, this, this~!"

Gu Shenyan said with an expression that was difficult to speak.

"I understand, I understand! But I'm not kidding you!" He pushed Gu Shenyan back onto the sofa and said sincerely:
"Old Gu, please listen to me. You are well aware of the situation in our station, and you have seen what I have gone through."

"Although I was the person in charge of the action team before, in fact, the action team has always been controlled by Lao Chen."

Seeing Gu Shenyan nod in agreement, Wang Shian continued:
"To be honest, the people in the action team are very dissatisfied with me. I also know what they are talking about behind my back!"

"So, in order to gain control of the action team, I talked to Lin Hao before. I got Hu Daoyi out of here and made him the captain of the action team!"

When Gu Shenyan heard that Lin Hao was the captain, he was in awe. Wang Shian was really brave! He went up and led the wolf in~, um! That's good!

Then Gu Shenyan nodded in agreement and said:
"Hmm~! It's actually quite good that Lin Hao is the captain of the action team. This way you can smoothly control the entire action team!"

Wang Shian said:
"But the problem is that Lin Hao has only been in our station for a short time, and he was also excluded and suppressed by Chen Moqun. Then he was sent out to perform a long mission. Chen Moqun's diehard fans below don't obey him!"

"So, I thought, you should come and help me, and you can directly manage the action team!"

Although Wang Shian's words were sincere, Gu Shenyan felt that the risk was a bit high, so he refused:
"I appreciate your kindness, but after so many years, you know me well. I have no intention of pursuing a career in politics.

"And I still think that it's good to be a director in the archives room. It's comfortable, quiet, and most importantly, safe!" Gu Shenyan said seriously.

Wang Shian comforted Gu Shenyan, and then said sincerely:

"Old Gu, let me be honest. My current position in our station is not stable!"

"After I became the stationmaster, I looked around and realized that I had no trusted followers around me. The only person I could rely on was you, Old Gu!"

"I know your abilities. In the past, it was because of Chen Moqun's strength. You were just covering up your strength. Now he's gone!"

"You can rest assured that I will never be jealous of others' talents like Chen Moqun. You should know that in our station, you are the one I trust the most! We are brothers!"

Gu Shenyan believed what Wang Shian said, but he was still a little hesitant about taking the position of deputy station chief. He decided to go back and discuss it with the fisherman before making a decision!

So Gu Shenyan reluctantly said:

"Then give me some time, I'll think about it carefully!"

"No problem!" Wang Shian agreed happily.

In fact, Wang Shian had another reason for asking Gu Shenyan to be the deputy station chief. Wang Shian was also somewhat wary of Lin Hao because the resources behind Lin Hao were too strong.

Thinking about Lin Hao's plan to plot against Chen Moqun, Wang Shian felt a chill down his spine. He felt that Lin Hao always did things in a way that was like a lion using all his strength to fight a rabbit or using a butcher knife to kill a chicken.

Although Lin Hao will not pose a threat to him in the short term, he still needs to be on guard just in case.

That's why Wang Shian would build a good relationship with Lin Hao while letting Gu Shenyan be his deputy, so that Lin Hao and Gu Shenyan can check and balance each other, making it easier for him to control the action team. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? At this time, Gu Shenyan said:

"By the way, I want to send Lin Nansheng in my office back to the special training class and ask them to reassign him!"

Wang Shian said with some embarrassment:

"I haven't heard of the reallocation before. If he is really sent back to the special training class, who would dare to use him in the future?"

"Then I don't care, that's the special training department of the headquarters!" Then, Gu Shenyan looked at Wang Shian and whispered:
"I don't feel comfortable using Lao Chen's people, and besides~!" Gu Shenyan stopped talking after this.
After all, who would like to have a pair of glasses and ears monitoring themselves in their office all day long!

"Understood, understood!" Wang Shian understood Gu Shenyan's concerns in an instant and said immediately: "Leave this matter to me. I'll wait for your news about the deputy station chief!"

Afterwards, Gu Shenyan left Wang Shian's office, ready to talk to someone about being a deputy station chief.

After Gu Shenyan left, Wang Shian asked Secretary Zhang to invite Lin Hao in. After a while, Lin Hao knocked on the door and came in.

"Webmaster, is there something going on?" Lin Hao asked puzzledly, not knowing why Wang Shian was looking for him.

"Xiao Lin, come and sit down, I'll pour you a cup of tea!" As he said that, he poured a cup of tea for Lin Hao.

"No need, webmaster, you are too polite!" Lin Hao didn't know what Wang Shian was trying to say, so he could only speak politely.

"Come, have some tea! There's no outsider here, so we don't have to be so distant!" After placing the tea in front of Lin Hao, Wang Shian continued:
"Now that Hu Daoyi has left, your promotion to the captain of the action team can be completed in the next two days. Now we just have to wait for you to take control of the action team!"

Lin Hao said nonchalantly: "Why rush? It's not too late to wait until the appointment is made!"

Seeing Lin Hao's careless look, Wang Shian said anxiously:

"My dear brother, this is urgent. There is an urgent task that needs to be done!"

"Oh, what task is it, webmaster? You tell me!" Lin Hao said generously.

"This is what happened!" Wang Shian then told Lin Hao about Ikeda Eisuke's story in detail, and finally said:
"The higher-ups are pressing us now, and Chen Moqun has been holding back on this task for a long time. Director Dai has already given me some pointers. Brother, whether I can remove the word 'agent' from my title depends entirely on your performance!"

"When it comes to that, whether I show my face or my butt in front of the headquarters is up to you, brother!"

When Lin Hao heard Wang Shian say this, and it involved an islander, he immediately put away his cynical attitude:

"Stationmaster, you are too kind. This is not too difficult. Just do the preliminary work first and I will personally take charge of obtaining the specific intelligence!"

"To be honest, I really should show my abilities to the people in the action team, otherwise they will look down on me!"

Wang Shian was overjoyed and said, "Then I'll wait for your good news, brother!"

"You are too polite, webmaster. This is my job!" Then Lin Hao thought for a while and said:

"Okay, then I'll go to the action team now and arrange for the brothers to start some preliminary work and find out the background of this Ikeda Eisuke as soon as possible!"

"That's great! I've been waiting for your good news!" Wang Shian said happily.

Then Lin Hao came to the Operations Department and gathered the five squadron captains in the office.

"I have been in the action team for a few months. I believe you are all familiar with me. You may have heard that I will soon be the captain of the action team, so I want to say a few words to you all!"

"First of all, I have no grudges against you all. No matter who you were with before, no matter if you like me or hate me, it cannot change the fact that you will all work with me in the future."

"Secondly, please remember that you all come to work at the Secret Service to support your family. Of course, there are also those who want to be free and easy. Regardless of your purpose, please remember who is paying you."

"No matter how much you miss Captain Hu or Stationmaster Chen now, if you want to pursue them, you can apply and see if they will pay you!"

As soon as Lin Hao finished speaking, the squadron leaders below began to discuss in a low voice, and finally everyone said:

"I will fully cooperate with Captain Lin's work!"

"Captain Lin told us to go east, we will never go west!"

"Captain Lin is here to catch chickens, there's no such thing as chasing dogs outside!"

After everyone expressed their gratitude to the Queen Mother, Lin Hao said, "Okay, in this case, I will now talk about business!"

Afterwards, Lin Hao took out a photo of Eisuke Ikeda and asked someone to make a few copies.

Then the basic situation of Eisuke Ikeda was introduced, and finally the division of labor was arranged.

Lin Hao will let the five captains of the action team lead a team each.

Three teams were arranged to monitor Eisuke Ikeda's whereabouts around the clock, and the other two teams stayed in the Secret Service to respond to any emergency situations!

After finishing the work arrangements, it was time to get off work.

After get off work, Gu Shenyan came to a small river for a walk, and then sat down next to a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was none other than the fisherman Ji Zhongyuan.

Gu Shenyan was wearing a bowler hat and sunglasses, which made him quite eye-catching, but there weren't many people here, so I didn't care.

I only heard Gu Shenyan whisper:

"Wang Shian has been promoted to acting station chief, and today he proposed that I be the deputy station chief."

"How did you come up with this idea? Didn't you say before that you wouldn't consider it?" Ji Zhongyuan asked puzzledly.

Gu Shenyan said: "I thought about it carefully, and suddenly I realized that many people have begun to question my purpose of staying in the archives room."

"For example, Chen Moqun, Wang Shian, Zhou Yaoting, etc. They know my abilities, and the longer time goes by, the more suspicious they become!"

“Instead of letting them suspect me, I might as well take advantage of the fact that Wang Shian has just taken office and is eager to win me over, and become the deputy station chief of the management action team.

"This will actually allow me to obtain more core intelligence!"

Ji Zhongyuan said with some concern:

I understand what you mean. In fact, this is a double-edged sword. Your position as deputy station chief is indeed more conducive to the development of intelligence work!

"But at the same time, more eyes will be on you, which may make you more passive!"
