Chapter 655 Find a suitable opportunity
It turned out that Ren Zhiping had been staring at Ren Dashi for a long time and gradually became impatient.
Although Ren Dashi went to get off work normally every day and did not notice anything suspicious, he still couldn't let go of the situation that night when he was followed. Why did he take action to resist the follow-up? And where did he go during the hour he disappeared?
So he could never dispel his suspicion of Ren Dashi. Deep down, he didn't want his cousin to be a Japanese spy. After all, they had a good relationship, and it was his cousin who brought him into the Military Control Commission. After much thought, he decided to have a frank talk with Ren Dashi.
He hoped that this conversation would dispel his suspicions. If his cousin wasn't a Japanese spy, he wouldn't have to waste his time monitoring him. If his cousin was indeed a Japanese spy, he wanted to persuade him to do as he had done, to atone for his crimes by cooperating with the Military Intelligence Bureau to capture his handlers, thereby destroying the entire Japanese spy organization. He believed that the Military Intelligence Bureau, considering his meritorious service and his father's relationship, would show leniency and forgive his past mistakes.
So he made an appointment with Ren Dashi to have dinner at a nearby hot pot restaurant. Ren Dashi didn't think much about it. He knew that his cousin had been monitoring him, which made him very annoyed, but he had no way to get rid of this situation.
He had also thought that he had a good relationship with his cousin, and that his cousin must have done this because he was coerced by the Military Control Commission. Could he find an opportunity to persuade him and develop him? He had rebelled before, and based on their relationship, there was still hope of persuading him.
For this reason, when he got off work, he went to Li Ji Grocery Store in the name of buying cigarettes and told his superior Li Xiang about this idea. Li Xiang said that he would wait until he asked for instructions from his superiors before making any decision.
But two days later, Li Xiang brought him instructions from above, saying that the risk was too great and asking him not to act rashly and to give up the idea of persuading Ren Zhiping.
They also told him that Ren Zhiping was under their surveillance and asked him not to worry, as the situation was still under control. He only needed to maintain his current state and there would be no risk of exposure.
Ren Dashi had no choice but to do as he was told, but this could not dispel his anxiety, especially during this period, the counter-espionage department led by Chu Yuntian cracked a Japanese spy group in one fell swoop, killed one and captured four alive, which caused quite a sensation. Although this incident had no effect on him, it made him even more uneasy.
Moreover, Dulang gave him a very painful task, which was to find a way to persuade his father Song Zhenzhong to rebel.
He had no confidence in this mission. His father was very loyal to the party and the country, so how could he be easily subverted?
Of course, this mission was not very dangerous. Even if he failed to incite rebellion, Song Zhenzhong would not do anything to him. After all, even a tiger would not eat its own cubs. Moreover, Song Zhenzhong had always felt guilty about abandoning his mother and wanted to give him the belated fatherly love, so it was even more impossible for him to report him.
He knew the Japanese thought the same, which was why they gave him this mission and placed high hopes on him. What he didn't know was that this plan was personally formulated by Masako Nagumo, the head of the Special High Section's Special Section 1, and supported by Yoshio Takemiya. Of course, they considered it, and there were some risks involved, but compared to the huge benefits that could be gained if Song Zhenzhong was successfully persuaded to defect, the risk was still worth taking.
Masako Nagumo wanted to revive her glory in Nanjing. At that time, she instigated many important high-level figures to defect, woven a large intelligence network, and obtained a lot of important intelligence.
If they could successfully persuade Song Zhenzhong to rebel this time, they could perhaps establish another intelligence network with him as their support, and intelligence would flow in continuously. With this important intelligence, the destruction of the mountain city would be imminent.
Ren Dashi was still very hesitant when he received this task. Song Zhenzhong abandoned them and their mother in his early years, and he had always been resentful. Later, Song Zhenzhong found him, poured a lot of fatherly love into him, sent him to military school, and arranged for him to enter the Military Control Commission headquarters. Relying on his connections, he soon became the deputy chief of the General Affairs Department, which also helped him eliminate a lot of resentment in his heart.
He regretted that he had acted rashly and followed Zhou Yuanju, deputy director of the Operations Department, to Nanjing to rebuild the Nanjing Station of the Military Control Commission, despite Song Zhenzhong's opposition, which led to the current situation where he was unable to control his own destiny.
After he returned to the mountain city, Song Zhenzhong was very happy to see him back safely. He did not blame him for his previous disobedience. Instead, he reinstated him to his original post and let him return to work at the Military Control Commission headquarters. He also gave him more fatherly love because he felt that the reason why Ren Zhiping did not listen to the advice and went to Nanjing was because he had not yet eliminated the resentment towards him, and his insistence on not changing his surname back to Song also proved this point.
Ren Dashi was still very moved, and the resentment in his heart had basically disappeared. So from the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to drag Song Zhenzhong into the water, but the Japanese insisted on him doing so, and there was nothing he could do. He told the Japanese that this matter could not be rushed and that he had to find the right opportunity.
