Chapter 146: Chapter 103 China Special Duties Unit_2

Having said that, Duan Hongye looked towards Xiaozhou, who only hesitated briefly before nodding to him, signaling agreement. Duan Hongye said, “Since Xiaozhou has agreed, I will arrange it immediately to convince the other party of our identity.” He patted Duan Hongye’s shoulder, smiled satisfyingly, and made an apologetic expression towards Xiaozhou. Then he carried a large tea jar back to his seat, put on his black-framed reading glasses, and started examining the

Seeing Duan Hongye begin to make phone calls to organize the related matters, the ordinary middle-aged man slapped his newspaper.

Xiaozhou wrote on WeChat, “Please give us half an hour, by which time we will prove our identity to you.”

After half an hour, Duan Hongye set down the phone, and gestured an OK sign to Xiaozhou, who started typing on WeChat.

“Please turn on the television right now and switch to Zhongyang Channel One to watch the latest news. If you do not have a television nearby, please open a computer or mobile phone, log in to the Xinwen Network, and watch the top news on Xinwen Network. You will find the information you want to know in these news broadcasts, which will confirm our identity.”

The large screen in the room was switched to Zhongyang Channel One, where a latest news story was being aired.

“…These heroes from the special front lines have made tremendous contributions and sacrifices for the nation’s development, and they deserve the respect of every Chinese person. For example, Comrade Yu Xiaozhou, who was awarded the National Security Medal this time, has many years of experience working on the special front lines. She has infiltrated enemy territory to discipline corrupt officials who fled the country, recovering massive financial losses for the nation…”

Accompanying this news was a high-resolution photo of Yu Xiaozhou, who was the same young woman in the room. In this way, it would prove that Yu Xiaozhou was an official person of China, and her identity was a special front-line worker for the Chinese government. However, by doing this, Yu Xiaozhou’s identity was completely exposed, and she would no longer be able to carry out special missions overseas. One could say that while this news confirmed Yu Xiaozhou’s identity, it also forced her to give up the work she loved.

On the Xinwen Network’s top news headlines, there was also a report praising the deeds of China’s special front-line personnel. It began by recounting the contributions made by these workers to the nation, then highlighted the identity and deeds of Yu Xiaozhou as a representative figure, and also included her high-resolution photo.

Zhongyang Channel One and Xinwen Network both have official Chinese backing and hold the highest status in China, where no one is allowed to fabricate stories. In this way, Yu Xiaozhou’s identity could be confirmed. She was not only the woman who had handed over the items to Yan Fei for safekeeping, but also a person from the Chinese government.

No sooner had the news broadcast on television finished than the other party’s message came through WeChat, “I’m sorry! I believe you all now.”

Yu Xiaozhou knew the other party was apologizing for exposing her identity, and she immediately replied, “It’s okay. For the sake of the nation’s needs, I am willing to give up everything. Can you now hand over the items to us?”

The other party was silent for a moment, then said, “Yes, but I must decide the time, place, and way of the exchange!”

Duan Hongye interjected, “Xiaozhou, tell them the items are very valuable and that it’s dangerous for him to keep them on his person.”

Yu Xiaozhou quickly typed Duan Hongye’s words on WeChat, and the response came back, “I believe you already know of my strength now. I have powerful forces; no one can take things away from me, so the items are safe with me.”

China also has its own intelligence channels, so despite the fact that the Japanese Government did not disclose the truth about the big event caused by Yan Fei and the Drone that night, the Chinese side still knew all about what had happened that night, including most of the details. Yu Xiaozhou now understood that she had actually entrusted valuable items to a mysterious person of undisclosed identity. Within the Special Duty Group, combined with the intelligence gathered, experts unanimously agreed that this mysterious person was extremely powerful, and with the Drone’s high-tech weapons, no one was sure to win against him. So when the other party said they could protect the valuable items, the China Special Duties Unit was rather inclined to believe it. It’s just that for each day the valuable items weren’t returned, it was another day of unease and worry for them.

Yu Xiaozhou tried to calm her emotions and typed into WeChat, “So when and where do you intend to hand over the items to me, and in what way?”

The other party replied promptly with a message, “I am currently in Shanghai. Get over to Shanghai as soon as possible, and I will return the items to you, I don’t trust anyone else. I will contact you again later.”

Yu Xiaozhou was about to say more, only to discover that the other party had already gone offline.

Without hesitation, Duan Hongye said, “Xiaozhou, let’s head to Shanghai immediately with me. We must retrieve those items.”

So Duan Hongye and Yu Xiaozhou, accompanied by their technical team, took a military plane to Shanghai. By this time, the analysis results of the cell phone owner named Ma Tianya had also come out.

Ma Tianya was just an ordinary person who had been playing at the Shanghai Beach with friends that day. Because his mobile phone had an unlimited data plan, he turned on hotspot sharing to let his friends use his data, without setting a password for the hotspot. Little did he know, a mysterious person had then connected to this shared hotspot and used WeChat to communicate with the China Special Duties Unit.

This was confirmed by Special Agent Eagle, who was observing Ma Tianya from a distance. Ma Tianya was obese, unsteady on his feet, and would get out of breath after walking a few steps, certainly not a Kung Fu expert. No suspicious individuals appeared near Ma Tianya, and the technicians found out that the WeChat account used to contact them had been registered only recently, with no previous communication records. Thus, their leads had all been cut off, still unable to directly find the mysterious trustee.

To avoid offending the mysterious person, the Special Agents of the China Special Duties Unit did not approach Ma Tianya, the cell phone owner. Unbeknownst to Ma Tianya, his phone had served as a bridge where two opposing forces negotiated over an item whose ownership could impact the global landscape. After making use of Ma Tianya’s mobile data, the mysterious person vanished without a trace – even the technical staff of the Special Duties Unit couldn’t find any trace of him on the Internet.

The Auxiliary Brain of the Drone was extremely powerful, able to move freely on the Internet, but it had one major drawback: it could not break through other people’s encrypted systems, meaning it couldn’t access any place that required a password for logging in. Therefore, whenever it needed to download materials that were only available to members, it would generate virtual personal information to apply for membership, and then, once approved, use the password to log in and download the data. While the Auxiliary Brain had this limitation, it left no trace of its movements on the Internet, which was why the technical personnel of the Special Duty Group couldn’t find any traces of its online activities.

Yu Xiaozhou was utterly frustrated. When she was in Japan and faced with great danger, she entrusted the important USB drive to a seemingly ordinary tourist from China, not knowing that this tourist was far from ordinary and even more formidable than herself, slaughtering so many US-Japan Joint Forces and getting entangled with the mysterious Drone. Now, through technological means, he had taken advantage of someone else’s mobile hotspot to deceive them, eluding their formidable technicians who couldn’t trace him, leaving them at his mercy.

However, the Special Duty Group personnel had no choice but to remain vigilant at all times, ready to receive new information.

At eight o’clock in the evening, when Duan Hongye and Yu Xiaozhou were anxiously waiting, a friend request appeared on their WeChat account on the computer. They hurriedly clicked it and saw the request message had the words “Japan” written on it.
