The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 475 List and Itinerary

"Chiyo, I'm sorry to put you in a difficult position." Cheng Mo really didn't know how to explain to Chiyo, but he could see that Chiyo understood.

"Cheng Mojun, will the special train be in danger?"

"I don't know." Cheng Mo shook his head. He did not lie to Chiyoko. He really didn't know about this matter and his answer was truthful.

Chiyoko was silent.

"Chiyo, you can persuade the teacher not to take this special train. Even if he wants to attend the return ceremony, he can take the ordinary train, or even not go at all." Cheng Mo said. He couldn't just say nothing and let Chiyo make this decision alone.

This is too cruel.

But once Chiyoko finds an excuse not to board the special train, Dai Yunong will start to suspect herself...

There was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't harden his heart to do such a cruel and heartless thing.

He was not that noble. There must be innocent people on this special train, but those people had nothing to do with him, and their life or death had nothing to do with him. However, he did not want to see Chiyoko and Morita Hideo in any danger.

If you don't care about right and wrong and human nature, are you still a human being?

If Morita Hideo was a staunch supporter of the invasion of China, he would not have frowned at sending him off even if he was his teacher.

He can clearly distinguish between national justice and personal justice, and he can bear it even if he is scolded as ungrateful by the world in the future.

The problem is that Hideo Morita sympathizes with China, and Chiyoko has joined the "Ramza" group. They are comrades-in-arms and friends. How can he abandon them?
"Will you be suspected if this happens?" Chiyoko is no longer a rookie on the intelligence front, she is growing very fast.

"Actually, think about it the other way around. If I tell you everything, isn't that the same as turning you into my side? Isn't your behavior the same as betraying your country? You are not being used by me, but assimilated by me." Cheng Mo said, "In this way, you may be suspected and in greater danger. So, I don't know what to say to you."

"If I find a reason not to board the special train, I might be listed as a suspected leaker." Chiyoko understood.

So many people were on the special train. If nothing happened, then nothing would happen. But if something happened, only you and your daughter would be safe. And you have close ties with the outside world. Would they suspect you of leaking secrets?
Of course it will.

Even if there are other ways of leaking information, suspicion is inevitable.

This matter could be even more serious because both people could be exposed.

So, when Chiyoko understood the key here, she didn't know what to do for a moment. Of course, there was a way. That was for Cheng Mo to disobey orders and not report the list and itinerary information given by Chiyoko, or only report the list without mentioning the itinerary.

Of course this is possible. The confidentiality level of the list will not be too high, unless there are some special big shots hidden. Otherwise, it will be announced to the public when the time comes.

But the itinerary was related to the safety of the visiting group, so it was kept absolutely confidential, especially as the Military Control Commission's assassinations and sabotage attacks never stopped.

The Japanese probably wouldn't even believe No. 76, and security must be the responsibility of their Military Police Special High Section.

"I don't want anything to happen to you, nor do I want anything to happen to the teacher. So, I'll submit the list of the visiting group first. As for the itinerary, I'll think about it and report it before you get on the special train. This way, even if there is any action, it may be too late in time. Unless there is another source of intelligence, it will not affect the result whether it is reported here or not." Cheng Mo said.

"If there is another source of intelligence, then my father and I will find an excuse not to board the special train, will we not be suspected?"

"This kind of information source must be top secret. If it really exists, then if you and the teacher don't go on the special train, it means that you are completely exposed to the enemy. At that time, all suspicions will be focused on you, and I can't escape." Cheng Mo analyzed. "What should we do now? This won't work, and that won't work. Do you really want me to go on the special train with my father?" Chiyoko said anxiously.

"If the teacher had suffered from acclimatization problems as soon as he arrived and had not taken the special train or gone to Jinling, no one would have suspected him. But now that the itinerary has been released, he has brought up the physical reason. I'm afraid it won't be convincing unless we find a convincing reason!" Cheng Mo said.

Convincing reasons?
When Hideo Morita learned that Cheng Mo was married and had a secret relationship with his daughter, he fell ill in anger. Is this a reason?

This is indeed a solution, but no one can guarantee what consequences will be caused if this matter is really spoken now.

It had to be told originally, sooner or later. Chiyoko and Cheng Mo had originally agreed to wait for the teacher to return to Shanghai from Nanjing and then find a time to tell him the truth. Now, this might be the only way to stop Morita Hideo from going to Nanjing.

If Morita Hideo fell ill in anger, the trip to Nanjing would not be possible. Besides, he was not a key figure in the visiting group, so it didn't matter if he didn't participate in any ceremony.

But there is still a problem if we talk about it now. That is, you didn't say it earlier or later, but just told it before the trip. Wouldn't people suspect that you did it on purpose?

This matter is not complicated. Even if it was intentional, so what? The visiting group would have to take some risks when going to Jinling.

"Then I'll tell you when I get back." Chiyoko said.

"Well, tell me, if there is any problem with the teacher's true qi, you must call me immediately to inform me." Cheng Mo said.

"Yeah, okay." Chiyoko nodded.

……

After returning home, Cheng Mo handed the list of visiting delegation and itinerary he got from Chiyoko to Su Moer. Later, when the contact time arrived in the evening, this information would be sent to the bureau headquarters.

"Will Chiyoko and Dr. Morita take this special train?" After seeing this first-hand information, Su Moer approached her husband and asked with her big belly.

"probably not."

"No, you told Chiyoko clearly that something might happen to this special train?" Su Moer said in surprise.

"She can see for herself that when I asked her for the list and itinerary, it was obvious that I was going to take action on the delegation's special train. Naturally, she and her teacher had to find a way not to get on the special train."

"But they don't take the special train. Once something happens to the special train, they will definitely be suspected when the train itinerary is leaked," said Su Moer.

"Well, I know, but as long as the reason for not taking the special train is strong enough and it is not intentional, even if it is a suspicion, there is no evidence." Cheng Mo said.

“Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they are not easily uprooted.”

"I know, but I have no choice. I can't just watch them take risks, right?" Cheng Mo said, "For my own personal benefit, let them be in danger, and maybe even pay with their lives?"

"Is there no other way?" Su Moer said, "Even if the headquarters plans a sabotage operation, it may not succeed."

"You can only say this to me, and never mention it to anyone else." Cheng Mo warned. This was considered treasonous within the Military Control Commission.
