Even if Andrew Carter is willing to join the Military Statistics Bureau, with no issues regarding his faith and loyalty, does he actually have the ability to serve as a communications officer for the Bureau?

Andrew Carter is just a patrol chief, his work limited to No. 24 Road—what kind of intelligence and leads could he possibly provide?

“Andrew Carter lost his father when he was in middle school. His mother was also in poor health and, to pay for her treatment, sold off everything of value in the family. The Chen family was left with nothing but their house. Last month, his mother also passed away, and Andrew Carter owes me nearly three hundred yuan because of it. He is a man of loyalty and integrity. If we appeal to his sense of duty, he should be willing to help us. Even if he doesn’t join us, he can at least be used as an operative.” David Bolton said with certainty.

Although he had only interacted with Andrew Carter a few times, he felt that Andrew Carter was indeed a very suitable operative.

And tonight, Andrew Carter’s attitude had only strengthened his confidence.

Andrew Carter understands English and also knows Japanese, so he can communicate directly with foreigners.

He is also bold, thoughtful, alert, calm, physically strong, and performed excellently at the Haigu Police Training Institute.

This performance includes both marksmanship and hand-to-hand combat.

His achievements at the Haigu Police Training Institute also indirectly reflect Andrew Carter’s strong judgment, comprehension, memory, and adaptability.

It can be said that Andrew Carter already has a solid foundation; with a bit of training, he could become a qualified intelligence agent.

If Andrew Carter’s political stance is absolutely firm and he can be loyal to the Party, the nation, and the leader, he could be brought in immediately.

At this time, the Military Statistics Bureau was rapidly expanding.

At the same time, there were considerable requirements for the quality and ability of personnel.

The Bureau needed to recruit directly from society, as well as through recommendations from existing members, even their friends and relatives—anyone willing could join.

But now, the Bureau was semi-publicly recruiting members under the guise of various training classes.

The main targets were young students, at least high school graduates, or at the very least, junior high graduates.

Someone like Andrew Carter, who was already working and was a patrolman, was an excellent candidate for development.

David Bolton believed that, based on his few interactions with Andrew Carter, he could definitely guide him onto the path of revolution.

As far as he knew, Andrew Carter had also participated in several patriotic student movements during middle school.

If his father hadn’t died suddenly, perhaps Andrew Carter would now be a prominent student movement leader.

“Next time we meet him, let’s probe his political beliefs.” Sophie Harris said slowly.

When developing new members in Haigu, the Bureau had to be especially cautious, and necessary background checks were still required.

Andrew Carter graduated from Railway No. 1 Middle School, then was admitted to the Haigu Police Training Institute, and later joined the British Concession Police Department.

It should be said that Andrew Carter’s background was quite clean.

David Bolton had secretly investigated Andrew Carter; during his time at Railway No. 1, Andrew Carter was very patriotic and had participated in some student movements.

After entering the Haigu Police Training Institute, perhaps due to family reasons, he no longer got involved in political matters.

However, Andrew Carter’s patriotic heart probably hadn’t changed.

Chapter Two: Analysis

Andrew Carter originally planned to wait for half an hour across from the clinic, but after just ten minutes or so, “Richard Clark” came out.

This time, “David Bolton” was more cautious; after walking a while, he finally hailed a car.

At the intersection of Kangbo South Road and Ren’an Lane, “David Bolton” finally got out of the car.

Andrew Carter thought that “Richard Clark” lived here.

Unexpectedly, “Richard Clark” stopped by the roadside, looked around, glanced behind him, and, seeing nothing unusual, walked into Ren’an Lane.

At first, Andrew Carter thought he had been discovered, but judging by “Richard Clark”’s reaction, he probably hadn’t been seen.

Andrew Carter was dozens of meters away from “Richard Clark”, and there were still quite a few pedestrians on Kangbo South Road at that time, so “Richard Clark” hadn’t noticed him at all.

But when “Richard Clark” looked back, Andrew Carter still covered his mouth with his hand, lowered his head and pretended to cough, then turned away and spat on the other side.

After “Richard Clark” entered Ren’an Lane, Andrew Carter quickly told the driver to stop.

If “Richard Clark” had only piqued Andrew Carter’s curiosity before, now he was truly interested in him.

When leaving the café, “Richard Clark” had acted completely normal.

However, after coming out of the Wang Clinic, he suddenly became suspicious.

To avoid being discovered by “Richard Clark”, Andrew Carter didn’t follow too closely.

By the time Andrew Carter entered Ren’an Lane, “Richard Clark” had already disappeared.

But Andrew Carter wasn’t discouraged; since “Richard Clark” had gotten out at the intersection, he probably lived nearby.

Andrew Carter was indeed very young, but that didn’t mean he was naïve.

No matter what “Richard Clark”’s purpose was, or what his true identity might be, he was determined to find out.

The next day, Andrew Carter checked the resident records for Ren’an Lane and soon discovered the Guangfa Hotel.

The owner, David Bolton, wasn’t that “Richard Clark”?

Andrew Carter was quite surprised, but his face showed no emotion.
