Chapter 170, codenamed "Falcon"
Wu Zhiyuan replied firmly, "Understood. I will get into character as soon as possible."
"Okay." Liu Mingxuan pressed the call button on the table. "Xiao Chen, come here for a moment."
Soon, the receptionist girl from before knocked on the door and came in.
"Xiao Chen, take Comrade Wu Qianjin to the marketing department on the second floor, introduce him to his colleagues, and arrange his workstation."
"For future routine administrative matters, you can contact Xiao Chen; she's one of the liaisons."
"Mr. Wu, please follow me," Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Stepping out of Liu Mingxuan's office, swiping my card to go down the stairs to the second floor, I was immediately enveloped by a bustling atmosphere: the sounds of telephones ringing, keyboards clattering, salespeople talking to customers, and printers buzzing all mingled together.
Xiao Chen led Wu Zhiyuan to a workstation by the window: "This is your seat."
Xiao Chen patted the partition next to him: "Brother Zhao, this is the new salesman, Wu Qianjin."
Brother Zhao, in his thirties, was unkempt with a long beard. He grinned and said, "Hello, my name is Zhao Dagang. From now on, we'll be neighbors and colleagues. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask."
"Hello Brother Zhao, I'm new here, please give me your guidance," Wu Zhiyuan said humbly.
"No problem, no problem!" Zhao Dagang said enthusiastically, pointing to a tall, thin man across the street who was on the phone. "That's Xiao Li, Li Gangjian."
He then pointed to the slightly chubby figure busy at the photocopier in front of him: "That's Lao Wang, Wang Gang. All three of us have 'Gang' in our names."
"Alright, familiarize yourself with the environment and look at the materials. The employee handbook and product catalog are in the folder on your desktop."
"Call me if you need anything," Xiao Chen said before turning and leaving.
Wu Zhiyuan sat down and began to peruse the product information: the grading of rubber, the characteristics of coffee bean origins, the roasting process of tea, the cold chain requirements for aquatic products...
He understood that in order to make the disguise flawless, he had to master these basic skills as soon as possible.
After finishing his work, Zhao Dagang came over with a teacup and leaned against the partition: "Xiao Wu, you used to work in trade?"
"I've done it before, but it's not the same type of product as Sihai Company's. I'll inevitably have to ask you for advice in the future."
Wu Qianjin didn't know whether Zhao Dagang was just a salesman or had a dual identity like him.
Therefore, he speaks with great discretion, resolutely refraining from saying anything he shouldn't.
"It's okay, take your time. Our company mainly imports and exports agricultural and primary products from several neighboring countries. Our customer base is relatively stable, but the competition is fierce."
The southern part of the city is a very complex place; the relationships between the various trading companies are deeply intertwined.
Li Gangjian and Wang Gang also came over and chatted with Wu Zhiyuan.
Wu Zhiyuan noticed that they all gave a very warm first impression, and there was no sign of wariness or competition in the workplace.
But his professional instincts told him not to be careless in the slightest, because Liu Mingxuan had already warned him that most of the company's employees were not his own people.
The dormitory is in a residential house opposite the office building.
This is a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.
Each person has one room. The other two rooms are for Wang Gang and Zhang Hao, the technician in charge of the company's daily computer maintenance.
Sihai Company has good economic performance, and its employees also enjoy good benefits in various aspects.
8 PM. Confidential meeting room on the fifth floor of the office building.
When Wu Zhiyuan arrived, there were already four people in the conference room.
Besides Liu Mingxuan, Wu Zhiyuan was surprised to find that Xiao Jing, the "fisherman" who had infiltrated Institute 835 last time, was also there.
Xiao Jing was also surprised to see Wu Zhiyuan.
As Guoan's operator in Nancheng, Liu Mingxuan probably hadn't mentioned Wu Zhiyuan much to Xiao Jing before.
Besides Liu Mingxuan and Xiao Jing, there was a man and a woman, both very young.
Wu Zhiyuan had barely sat down when another person entered.
It was Wang Gang!
It turns out that Wang Gang was one of their own.
Wang Gang didn't seem surprised and smiled at Wu Zhiyuan.
Liu Mingxuan spoke up: "Except for a few comrades on the periphery, everyone is here."
Everyone here is a comrade of mine and a core member of the "Protect Hong Kong" action team.
I reiterate the discipline: the content of tonight's meeting, including everyone's identities, must not be disclosed to anyone, not even other colleagues within the company who are unaware of the details.
It has become a routine to emphasize discipline in every meeting.
"Let me formally introduce you," Liu Mingxuan said, looking at Xiao Jing. "This is Comrade An Jing, the team leader, codename 'Fisherman,' who is in charge of this operation."
Wu Zhiyuan thought to himself: So Xiao Jing's real name is "An Jing". But could this be just an alias like "Wu Qianjin"?
"This one," Liu Mingxuan pointed to Wu Zhiyuan, "Comrade Wu Qianjin, codename 'Falcon,' deputy leader of the group, assisting Comrade An Jing in her work."
He has participated in numerous major special projects in the country and has extensive experience.
Wu Zhiyuan stood up, gestured to the crowd, and then sat down.
"This is Comrade Wang Gang, codename 'Wrench'," Liu Mingxuan introduced Wang Gang. "He has been in Nancheng for a long time, more than three years now. He has extensive connections and has been in contact with local gangs."
Wang Gang smiled憨厚ly.
"This is Comrade Zhou Rui, codename 'Blade'." Liu Mingxuan pointed to the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. "He is a retired special forces soldier, skilled in tracking, counter-tracking, hand-to-hand combat, and special driving. He is the sharpest weapon in our team."
Zhou Rui straightened his back and saluted the crowd.
"This is Comrade Fang Min, codename 'Bailing'." Liu Mingxuan introduced the short-haired woman last. "A top student from the Foreign Languages Institute, she is fluent in multiple Southeast Asian languages and dialects, has an exceptional memory, and is skilled in intelligence screening and social infiltration. Currently, she assists in handling some external documents for the company as a cover."
Fang Min smiled shyly.
Liu Mingxuan assigned tasks: "Comrade An Jing is responsible for overall coordination and liaison with superiors, while I am responsible for resource support and external coordination."
The specific operation was jointly directed by Comrades An Jing and Wu Zhiyuan.
I will maintain single-line contact with comrades who have infiltrated the enemy camp.
Now, Comrade Anjing, please provide the latest information.
Anjing picked up the conversation: "I'll make it short. According to the latest information risked by our inside comrade, the enemy may have accelerated the pace of 'Operation Tide'."
The operation to assassinate Prime Minister Lung Yun is codenamed "Decapitation," and there are at least three known alternative plans: creating an "accident" during a public event;
They bribed internal security personnel to carry out close-range assassinations.
Alternatively, use long-range sniping or explosive devices.
It is still unclear which method will be adopted and when it will be implemented.
The perpetrators are likely an elite operations team directly commanded by the CIA, which has infiltrated South City under various identities.
The assassination team is yet another piece of evidence of Suha's collusion with the CIA. Song Yaozu provided financial support and logistical assistance.
Wu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and asked, "The informant mentioned that the action team has infiltrated Nancheng. Is there any information about their disguised identities or the industries they might be settling in?"
Furthermore, regarding Suha and Song Yaozu, aside from funding and logistics, how deeply were they specifically involved in planning the "decapitation" operation?
She looked quietly at Liu Mingxuan.
Liu Mingxuan said, "The information coming from inside is very fragmented."
The task force may disguise itself as business people, tourists, or even use certain non-governmental organizations or environmental groups as cover.
The recent influx of short-term business delegations and backpackers into the southern part of the city has made screening very difficult.
As for Suha and Song Yaozu, Suha himself focused more on political manipulation and public opinion campaigning, while the CIA was primarily responsible for the planning and execution of the specific violent actions. Song Yaozu provided "localization" support, serving as a key link between CIA operations and the local dark forces in Country A.
Wu Zhiyuan pondered: "In other words, to figure out the specific details of the 'decapitation' operation, and even predict its methods, starting with Song Yaozu's line might be more efficient than directly searching for the deeply hidden CIA agents."
Liu Mingxuan nodded: "This is precisely one of our key tasks going forward."
Currently, our inside forces within the enemy camp are too weak, making it extremely difficult to transmit information.
We need to develop new intelligence sources, ideally through channels that allow us direct or indirect access to Song Yaozu's inner circle.
