Genius Agent

Chapter 117 Junko Muto

Shen Mozhou escorted Su Yuncheng to the door.

Watching Su Yuncheng leave, Shen Mozhou couldn't help but shake his head. Su Yuncheng didn't care about the chief's boasting at all. Catching a few more Japanese spies seemed to be nothing to Su Yuncheng.

The purpose of the meeting was clearly not achieved.

The next morning, Su Yuncheng arrived at the newspaper office early.

Chen Ming has been transferred to You Tiao's team. Horiuchi Sōsuke is very eager and has already met with Chen Ming. Chen Ming will help him guard the warehouse from now on.

There are no problems at the Central Police Station for the time being.

However, Horiuchi Sousuke's business must remain low-key and never be ostentatious; Su Yuncheng cannot help him to control everything.

When it comes to making money, Horiuchi Sousuke is more proactive than anyone else.

"Captain, the sir told me that I will listen to you completely in the police station from now on."

Chen Ming went on the inspection tour with You Tiao and took the initiative to find You Tiao to express his loyalty.

"We'll all listen to Yuncheng. Good luck!"

You Tiao chuckled and nodded. After learning about the relationship between Su Yuncheng and Dilang, Cheng Rang would no longer target him and even hoped that they could become a link between himself and Su Yuncheng.

Both he and Chen Ming will have a good time in the Central Police Station.

Time passed slowly, and as May arrived, the weather in Shanghai grew increasingly hot.

Su Yuncheng and Horiuchi Sōsuke were both at the dock.

Tomoo Muto is back.

He has been very successful in his domestic operations, and this time he is going to Chengdu to take up his post as consul there.

Muto Tomohiro was overjoyed to finally become a consul, but he didn't touch the arrangements in Shanghai. Chengdu was not his goal, but just a transit point. He would eventually return to Shanghai.

He firmly believed this.

"Boss."

Before long, Su Yuncheng saw Muto Tomohiro disembark with his wife and children and immediately went to greet him.

Tomoo Muto went to Chengdu for a new post and will be staying in China in the future, so he brought his wife and children with him.

"We'll talk about it when we get back."

Muto Tomohiro nodded slightly, and Horiuchi Sousuke hurriedly opened the car door for him. This time, Muto Tomohiro didn't bring anyone else; it was just the three of them, and they could fit in one car.

"Junko, long time no see. Did you miss your uncle?"

Once in the car, Horiuchi Sosuke deliberately teased Muto Tomoo's daughter, Muto Junko.

Junko Muto was only eleven years old, just a little girl. She glanced at Sosuke Horiuchi and immediately shook her head: "I don't want Uncle, I want Brother Yuncheng."

Su Yuncheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

After he met this little girl a few years ago, she always called him "brother" and never "uncle," which made him a generation younger than Muto Tomohiro.

Tomoo Muto tried to correct her, but Junko wouldn't listen.

"You're so heartless! Your uncle used to buy you lots of delicious food."

Horiuchi Sousuke exclaimed helplessly, and Mutou Junko immediately retorted, "Those were all bought with my money, unlike Yuncheng-gege, who actually bought them for me."

The little girl has grown up and isn't so easy to fool anymore.

It is true that Horiuchi Sousuke did buy her snacks before and also swindled a lot of money from the little girl.

"Junko, you must be tired. I'll take you to the hotel to rest first."

Su Yuncheng smiled and took the initiative to speak, interrupting Horiuchi Sousuke's awkwardness.

"Oh no, Brother Yuncheng, Dad said there are lots of delicious foods in Shanghai. Can you take us there directly?"

Junko Muto immediately shook her head, her two braids slapping loudly.

"Okay, I'll send your luggage first, then I'll take you out for something delicious."

Su Yuncheng agreed, and Mutou Junko was very happy. Seeing his daughter's happy expression, Mutou Tomohiro couldn't help but shake his head.

Su Yuncheng seems to have a certain charm; no matter who he interacts with, others always have a good impression of him.

Including himself.

With an assistant like Su Yuncheng, Muto Tomohiro was very satisfied; Su Yuncheng was definitely a rare talent.

That evening, Su Yuncheng took them to a small restaurant, but the food was delicious, and Junko Muto ate the most.

The food here is much better than what she ate on the ship.

"Yuncheng, let's talk privately."

After dinner, Muto Tomohiro kept Su Yuncheng behind, while Horiuchi Sosuke was reluctantly called away by his sister.

Needless to say, Muto Eiko will check Horiuchi Sousuke's homework again to see if he has been studying diligently.

"You've run the newspaper very well. Keep up the good work. In the future, you can include more current affairs commentary in the newspaper. If there are any articles criticizing the empire, you can selectively publish them."

Muto Tomohiro spoke up, and Su Yuncheng's eyebrow twitched.

Previously, Tomoo Muto wouldn't allow their newspaper to publish such articles, since it was a Japanese newspaper.

"Yes, senior brother."

When no one was around, Su Yuncheng addressed Mutou Tomohiro as "senior brother" instead of "boss."

This was also Tomoo Muto's request.

"However, those authors should remember their identities."

Muto Tomohiro suddenly spoke, and Su Yuncheng immediately understood his intention. Muto Tomohiro was making arrangements in advance, wanting to use the newspaper to find out who liked to criticize them.

This will make it easier to target in the future.

"Okay, I'll write it all down."

Su Yuncheng agreed; he would record the list, but he wouldn't tell Muto Tomohiro the entire list.

Just select a few people with higher security to report.

"With these articles, you should increase the newspaper's circulation to 20,000 copies as soon as possible. I will return to Shanghai by next year at the latest, and I hope that the newspaper can become a truly great newspaper by then."

Muto Tomohiro has great ambitions. He won't stay in Chengdu for too long; at the earliest, it will be half a year, and at the latest, it will be a little over a year.

In any case, he must secure the position of Consul General in Shanghai next year.

Tomoo Muto certainly has the qualifications.

Becoming Consul General will not only elevate his status, but also significantly increase Tomoo Muto's power.

"Okay, I'll recruit a few more people."

The newspaper needs to expand, and the current staff is definitely not enough. We need to increase the number of reporters and editors, as well as purchase equipment.

"Don't worry about the money. I'll leave you another 30,000 silver dollars this time, so you can go ahead and do it with peace of mind."

Tomoo Muto understood the newspaper's importance to him and was never stingy with money.

"Thank you, senior brother."

"When you recruit this time, pay more attention to whether there are any promising talents and train them to become intelligence personnel."

Muto Tomohiro reiterated that in his mind, the newspaper could not only help him control public opinion, but also become his intelligence agency in the future, and there could not be only Su Yuncheng and Huang Chuanming.

The number of intelligence personnel needs to be increased.

"I understand, I will stay if a suitable opportunity comes along."

"Great, I'll be going to Chengdu tomorrow. Someone from the consulate will see me off, so you don't need to come."

Muto Tomohiro smiled and nodded, while Su Yuncheng was taken aback: "So fast?"

"That's right, there's a situation in Chengdu that I need to handle as soon as possible."

Tomoo Muto's schedule was indeed very tight this time. Chengdu, where he was going, was far from Shanghai, but fortunately not as far as other parts of Japan.

At least he's currently in China, so coming to Shanghai for business is definitely a bit more convenient than coming from within Japan.

Please drive safely.

Su Yuncheng did not stay at the hotel for long and quickly said goodbye. Mutō Tomohō was going to Chengdu tomorrow, but this time he would be traveling by plane instead of by boat.

Airplanes are faster.
