Lin Yu was transferred from the Six Squad to the General Affairs Department, a move that seemed uneventful at first glance. Such personnel changes were common in any Yamen. Su Han understood the underlying reasons for this shift. The person he had entrusted had already taken action. This was merely the first step; more formidable measures awaited Lin Yu.
Becoming a spy and betraying the organization would ultimately come at a cost. Director Feng Decai of the General Affairs Department was a shrewd individual. Lin Yu's transfer to the General Affairs Department, coupled with Su Han's silence on his behalf as captain, suggested that Lin Yu had offended Su Han. Well, having accepted Su Han's money, he could not let it go to waste. Consequently, Lin Yu's situation in the General Affairs Department was easy to imagine.
Su Han was currently too preoccupied to concern himself with Lin Yu, especially since Inspector General Ke Jianming was there to deal with him. Chu Feng had assigned Su Han a more critical task related to Qingfeng Pavilion and a captured individual within the organization. This captured person claimed to be Wu Liang from the Nanzhao Kingdom. His arrest sent shockwaves through the enemy nation.
Lieutenant General Matsumoto of the enemy country immediately dispatched an urgent message back to his capital regarding this incident. After discussions in their court, it was decided to send a Royal Baron, Takahashi Masao, to Da Qian in a private capacity to coordinate a resolution.
In mid-June, Takahashi Masao arrived in Tiandu. On that day, he visited Prime Minister Wang Hong. Aware that the capture of the individual had been ordered personally by Your Majesty, Wang Hong felt powerless to assist in any rescue efforts and thus referred the matter to the Dali Temple, introducing the Baron to Minister Li Zheng.
The next day, the Baron went to visit Li Zheng. However, Li Zheng was not inclined towards aiding enemies and outright refused any rescue efforts. The enemy court, left with no options, prepared to resolve the issue through diplomatic means. But before they could take action, the Dali Temple in Tiandu had already begun court proceedings for this case.
Chu Feng personally ordered Su Han to closely monitor Takahashi Masao's every move in Tiandu while seizing this opportunity to capture those "vermin" all at once.
If they could uncover the "Big Fish" behind it all, that would be even better!
Monitoring a Baron while sending a mere squad leader to carry out the task subtly highlighted Chu Feng's trust in Su Han.
More importantly, after Lin Yu was reassigned, Chu Feng did not send anyone else. Sending someone new could raise suspicions and dissatisfaction from Su Han. Moreover, Su Han had already begun to earn Chu Feng's trust.
"Captain Su, our carriage has been reclaimed by the General Affairs Department. From now on, we'll have to rely on our own two legs," Zhao Gang said with a grin as he approached Su Han. "Why don’t you have a word with Director Feng and see if we can get another one?"
"Come on," Su Han replied with a smile. "Our Royal Confidential Office only has a few carriages. Do you really think one squad can monopolize one?"
Su Yao chimed in boldly, "Why don’t we just buy one ourselves? Captain Su, if we all chip in a bit, we could get it."
"Get out of here!" Su Han said, amused. "If we actually bought one, everyone would think we're nouveau riche. Then we'd have people coming to borrow money and take advantage of us. You'd be the one paying up!"
As they joked around, they reached the entrance of the Yamen.
"Hey, look! Isn't that Lin Yu?" Su Yao nudged Su Han.
Sure enough, it was Lin Yu, struggling to carry a large piece of pork from a cart.
He was clearly doing menial labor. Upon seeing them, Lin Yu's eyes darted around; he was caught in a dilemma of whether to approach or walk away.
