"Who is it?"
"The Office Lord," Su Han said cautiously. "Li Yifeng has already provided the list of spies that Southern Chu has in their Tiandu stronghold. We can launch a capture operation at any time."
"The tiger has already been caught; let the small minions bounce around for a few days. With Li Yifeng missing, his subordinates must be in a panic. If we keep a close watch, we might even catch a few big fish," Chu Feng replied confidently.
"Su Han, you were originally only tasked with capturing Lin Fu, but now you've also apprehended the person in charge of the Southern Chu spy stronghold. This is unexpected. However, how will we explain this to Southern Chu? What will Zhengshi Institute say?" He had to consider these implications.
With Xiao Wei captured, Southern Chu would definitely not let this go easily. Moreover, this was originally Zhengshi Institute's affair, and now it was overshadowed by the Royal Confidential Office; the people from Zhengshi Institute might even complain to the Emperor.
"When have we ever captured Li Yifeng?" Su Han said calmly. "My courier from the Royal Confidential Office, Su Yao, was forcibly pulled into a room while visiting a friend at Yue Lai Inn, with ill intentions from the assailants. Fortunately, Lin Yu and others happened to pass by and rescued Su Yao, bringing back the suspect. Upon interrogation, this audacious villain turned out to be Chen Liang, a Southern Chu person!"
Chu Feng, usually serious, actually smiled for a moment. He appreciated clever individuals; the value of one smart person outweighed that of a hundred warriors.
"Office Lord," Chu Feng's smile was clearly noted by Su Han, who understood he had gained initial trust from Chu Feng. "I believe Southern Chu won't admit they have spies planted in Tiandu nor will they publicly acknowledge that one Xiao Wei has been captured. They will only initiate a secret rescue operation. The Southern Chu people will put on a show, and so will we. Let's hand Chen Liang over to the Dali Temple for sentencing under his identity as a Southern Chu Shang Jia, leaving the Southern Chu people with no way to voice their grievances. As for Zhengshi Institute, I take responsibility for not reporting this matter to you; you were completely unaware. I intended to capture those with ill intentions but ended up catching two spies instead? I've ruined a major operation for Zhengshi Institute; you can punish me."
Chu Feng's opinion of Su Han changed once again. A person who was both clever and sensible—who attributed successes to their superiors and took responsibility for mistakes—was someone anyone would appreciate.
"There’s no need to worry about Zhengshi Institute; I will personally explain it to them. Even if Xu Jing has objections, he won't dare act against me." After pondering for a moment, he continued, "Additionally, regarding Chen Liang, I'll have Dali Temple Minister Zheng Xuan handle it personally; I will report to His Majesty. Zheng Xuan harbors deep resentment towards Southern Chu people; I trust he will deal with it justly."
His gaze fell on Su Han. "Su Han, expedite the search of Wanbao Trading Company and Li Yifeng's residence; it must be completed before the Southern Chu people discover anything."
"Yes, Office Lord; I've already dispatched personnel."
"Also, you should stay in Er Tang for now. Your experience is still limited; take your time—there will be plenty of opportunities for advancement. I've decided to establish Action Team Two's Six Squad, with you as captain. The five individuals you select will all belong to your Six Squad."
"Thank you for your cultivation, Office Lord; I will not disappoint your expectations."
Su Han felt satisfied. In just over a month since arriving in this era, he had transformed into a small leader within the Royal Confidential Office. Most importantly, he had single-handedly dismantled a Southern Chu spy stronghold in just one day!
Patience was key.
There are plenty of opportunities to showcase oneself!
