“The Japanese are ambitious wolves, their desire to destroy China never dies. Now, with warlords fighting among themselves and the Communists running rampant, the situation is truly worrisome.” Andrew Carter sighed, speaking with deep concern.

“There is now an organization that upholds the Three Principles of the People, revives the revolutionary spirit, rejuvenates Chinese culture, and sacrifices personal gain. With iron will and strict discipline, obeying organizational decisions, and under the wise leadership of our leader, we work together to create a new era. Would you be willing to join such an organization?” David Bolton suddenly said.

“You’re with the Blue Shirts Society?” Andrew Carter’s pupils contracted sharply, staring intently at David Bolton.

Andrew Carter had been waiting for David Bolton to reveal his Military Statistics Bureau identity, and he had been preparing himself emotionally.

“To be precise, it should be the Second Division of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Affairs Commission.” David Bolton straightened up, speaking proudly.

“If I report your identity, would you still be able to stay in the British concession?” Andrew Carter put down his chopsticks and said calmly.

In fact, Andrew Carter had been waiting for David Bolton to admit this identity, and he was mentally prepared.

However, when David Bolton truly admitted it, Andrew Carter still couldn’t calm down for a long time. Half of his earlier excitement and surprise was an act, but the other half was genuine.

Since 1924, when the party organization began activities in Haigu, it had suffered multiple purges by the Kuomintang.

Many people had fallen into the clutches of the Blue Shirts Society.

Not long ago, the Haigu Municipal Committee had been sabotaged by the Military Statistics Bureau.

Now, with David Bolton, a Military Statistics Bureau agent, sitting right across from him, Andrew Carter felt an urge to throw a punch.

“I believe you won’t.” David Bolton said with certainty.

Andrew Carter’s behavior these past few days convinced him that Andrew Carter was a patriot.

Tonight, Andrew Carter made it clear that he had no political beliefs and also had no fondness for the Communists.

This result greatly satisfied David Bolton, which is why he dared to bring up this topic.

“I am currently a police officer, paid by the British. I cannot do anything illegal or against the rules.” Andrew Carter quickly “calmed down,” gently shook his head, and spoke slowly.

“Don’t forget, you are Chinese. The Japanese are rampaging in our northern regions, eyeing North China greedily. As an outstanding son of the Chinese nation, you must fulfill your responsibilities and duties!” David Bolton was not surprised by Andrew Carter’s reaction. If Andrew Carter had agreed immediately, he would have been suspicious instead.

“I can’t promise you right now.” Andrew Carter pondered for a long time before speaking slowly.

He wanted to agree right away, but he also knew this couldn’t be rushed.

If he immediately agreed to join upon hearing David Bolton was with the Blue Shirts Society, it would be suspicious.

“There’s no rush. If you make up your mind, just come find me at the Guangfa Hotel.” David Bolton said with a smile.

He believed Andrew Carter would definitely agree.

To serve the country and resist the Japanese invaders—wasn’t that Andrew Carter’s original aspiration at the Railway No. 1 Middle School?

Now, David Bolton was offering him such a good opportunity. He believed Andrew Carter would not miss it.

However, on the fourth and fifth days, Andrew Carter still did not appear at the Guangfa Hotel.

With Andrew Carter not coming, David Bolton began to feel uncertain.

For Andrew Carter, this was a major life decision.

During this time, Sophie Harris asked about the matter, and David Bolton replied that he had confidence in Andrew Carter.

However, on the sixth day, Andrew Carter still had not shown up, and David Bolton became anxious.

Chapter 10 Waiting

The reason Andrew Carter hadn’t gone to the Guangfa Hotel was not only because he didn’t want David Bolton to think he was too eager, but also because he needed to report to the organization.

William Thompson was very satisfied with Andrew Carter’s performance during this period.

Andrew Carter’s interactions with David Bolton were commendable, showing great talent.

As an undercover agent, in addition to rigorous training, talent is also important.

Some people are simply born to be undercover agents.

Andrew Carter is calm by nature, composed in the face of trouble, quick-thinking, and able to infer much from little. With a bit of training, he could become an outstanding agent.

At first, William Thompson had some concerns about Andrew Carter infiltrating the Military Statistics Bureau, since Andrew Carter was so young and inexperienced.

However, Andrew Carter’s recent performance had completely dispelled his worries.

Over these three days, he gave Andrew Carter systematic training.

At this point, further skills training for Andrew Carter was meaningless.

Therefore, their training focused mainly on techniques.

Techniques for speaking, for handling affairs, for communicating with others.

Even techniques for flattering people.

William Thompson was well-versed in psychology, and his training for Andrew Carter focused mainly on this area.

In addition to William Thompson’s crash course, Andrew Carter also had to investigate cases.

It had been six days since Paul Mitchell was kidnapped, yet the kidnappers still hadn’t demanded ransom.

This made Ethan Brooks, who was in charge of the case, increasingly uneasy. Kleisenqi had only given him seven days, but there was still no clue in the case.

In his heart, Andrew Carter kept thinking about the two suspicious people he saw on the evening of the crime.

During work these past few days, he also pulled the past month’s rental records from the police department.
