Chapter: 5419
Wu Shu Tong ordered everyone else to leave and waited until the door was closed before personally pouring a cup of wine for Earl Gong. He smiled and said, "Earl Gong, I'm honored to have you here today, and I'll toast you with this cup, please take a seat!"
Earl Gong noticed that Wu Shu Tong's cultivation had reached a certain level, but he didn't dare look down on him. He quickly lifted his cup and smiled as he said, "Wu Dushi is being too courteous, let's drink together!"
The two people lightly touched their cups and both took a sip.
Putting down the cup, Wu Shu Tong's expression suddenly became worried, and he sighed, saying, "Earl Gong, I won't hide it from you. As for why you came to the Right Army Governor's office this time, I know that last time, you executed the English monarch's secret order, but a major mistake occurred under my hands, and I've been plagued by guilt ever since. I also know it's very difficult to clear my name, so I hope Earl Gong can investigate the matter and clear my reputation for me!"
Earl Gong didn't expect Wu Shu Tong to suddenly bring up the main topic so quickly, and he also put down his cup, speaking seriously, "Wu Dushi, I'd like to know how the English monarch's secret order was transmitted after it reached your hands?"
Wu Shu Tong spoke frankly, saying, "The English monarch's command was directly given to me, and based on my understanding that the fewer people who knew about it, the lower the possibility of leakage and overall risk. I didn't tell any of the middle-level officials, but instead gave the order directly to Nie Zhen Yu, the chief of the Death Squadron, and let him select the most elite members from the Cavalry Guard to go to Northern Europe."
Earl Gong asked, "Do those who came into contact with the secret order know Lin Wan Er's identity?"
"I don't think so," Wu Shu Tong replied without hesitation. "As for the Right Army Governor's office, only I and a few others knew Lin Wan Er's true identity that day. I told Nie Zhen Yu to go to Northern Europe to catch a girl, but he didn't know what she looked like. As for those who executed the mission from the Cavalry Guard, they had no idea either. They only knew that the girl was someone important to the English monarch and would receive heavy rewards if caught."
Earl Gong nodded his head, having expected this kind of situation all along. This is the style of the English monarch's dealings - he hopes that those who go after Lin Wan Er will have no idea what her true identity or special circumstances are, so as to avoid any potential risks.
He thought for a moment and asked Wu Shu Tong, "Wu All-Director, did you ask Nie Zhen Yu about this matter later on? The person was sent out by him. If there are traitors within the mission, they would definitely be his or his subordinates, or even he and his subordinates themselves!"
Wu Shu Tong replied, "Returning to Earl Gong, I reported the entire matter to the English monarch. My old man and I both felt that we should not have any traitors within our organization because Nie Zhen Yu and others did not know who they were supposed to catch. Moreover, in order not to reveal the importance of the target externally, Nie Zhen Yu personally led the team, and I did not allow it because according to our intelligence, Lin Wan Er was surrounded by no high-ranking officials. A few members of the Cavalry Guard would be enough to catch her and bring her back;"
"So, the logic of this entire matter is a bit strange. Only the English monarch and his subordinates know who they are supposed to catch. His subordinates are loyal only to him and would not leak any information externally. Therefore, my old man thinks that there is a greater possibility that the other side has secretly inserted an agent within our organization or has somehow obtained our trajectory through some unknown means."
Wu Shu Tong continued, "Before you went to Naples, the English monarch briefed your subordinates, hoping you could find out where we had been compromised by them. Would it be that they have already infiltrated our dead soldier's station or secretly monitored it without us knowing?"
Earl Gong fell silent for a moment, his brain racing.
Unfortunately, he was not Li Yalin.
If he were Li Yalin, he would definitely scrutinize every possible flaw in this entire operation.
As long as you gave him enough time, he could also focus on the air transport company specializing in transporting dead soldiers' bodies.
Even if your patience is great, it's impossible to conceal the trajectory of a plane weighing over 200-300 tons while airborne. Even small planes can still avoid radar detection. Once airborne, the large plane would be tracked and locked onto by multiple radars at the same time.
Moreover, all radars are operated by the air defense departments of sovereign nations. Intercontinental flights require multiple countries' radars to be coordinated to track it down. The strength of the traitor would be even stronger if they could bribe these people.
Since Li Yalin's thinking had already hit upon the weakness of the Breakthrough Society, he was focusing on the plane transporting dead soldiers and rokh riders. The Breakthrough Society needed global personnel to mobilize quickly, but they couldn't hide the flight trajectory of the plane, even if they concealed it very deeply. As long as someone scrutinized civilian air traffic data, they would definitely find their trail.
Euboeus thought for a while but couldn't think of any reason why not, so he opened his mouth and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go to this dead soldiers' base personally and see if there are any clues!"
Wu Shuzhong exclaimed in surprise, saying, "As General Euboeus has spoken! Subordinate has been thinking of doing just that!"
Euboeus said, "Since that's the case, it would be tiring for Governor Wu to help me arrange a plane. I'll go personally!"
Wu Shuzhong nodded slightly and opened his mouth, saying, "From here, flying to Cyprus is quite close. General Euboeus, look at the flight schedule arrangement time?"
Euboeus furrowed his brow in thought for a moment, then said, "This time I'm going, I plan not to reveal my identity, but to sneak in quietly and observe the overall situation of the dead soldiers' base, seeing if there are any irregularities, especially among the core members here, including that Ni Zhenyu. If Ni Zhenyu has no problems, then I'll find those missing rokh riders' families and see if I can find some clues by doing so." JrNovels.com
