Sure enough, Kang Chen wasn't without suspicion. Before long, Huo Er called again.
"Mr. Chen, after the harbor search, we found something, th...this... it seems to be a contact point for UC spies. We captured UC spies and seized their contact point during our bilateral negotiations. Will this... affect the talks? Or... should we release them?"
Huo Er was somewhat fearful, disrupting the talks would be a disaster.
He now regretted his action. The proper order should have been to search before arresting. Now the arrest had taken place. If they were to release the spies now, wouldn't that tarnish Mr. Chen's reputation, as if succumbing to their intimidation?
But if they were to continue holding the spies... what would become of the talks?
Kang Chen raised an eyebrow. So it was a contact point for UC spies. But... this was not surprising.
Who would have thought, Mu Qiubai was playing such a game, aiming to sabotage the talks? This was truly insidious.
