Chapter 656: 642 Political Department surrenders: I can also talk, I can also

In a flash, the next night,

Political Department building.

Night,

Brightly lit.

"Boss..."

"The list of 300 personnel you wanted has already been arranged..."

The secretary placed the list in front of Riley.

Riley flipped through it casually and threw it on the table.

"Just them."

The secretary hesitated: "Boss, this batch of people is the latest batch, their loyalty is hard to say, will they leak the parasite plan?"

Riley had an indifferent look: "Leak if they leak. How many people have we sent over? More than 400. Do you think Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu doesn't know anything about it? You underestimate him too much."

The secretary thought for a moment: "Boss means?"

Riley looked at the secretary: "Sherry, how many years have you been with me?"

Secretary Sherry recalled: "If counting from the UK, it should be 23 years..."

Riley: "You have always been my trusted right-hand man, and you have performed very well for so many years... Besides colleagues, we are also friends. You know my family, and I know yours..."

"So, here, I can also tell you some heartfelt words."

"Do you want to listen?"

Sherry had a premonition, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Boss, please speak."

Riley: "Our Political Department is MI5, and after the Political Department is dissolved, everyone will be transferred to MI6."

"And, we are returning to the UK from Hong Kong, where we have stayed for more than ten years."

"Our leaders will change, and we will enter a very awkward situation: new leaders and new colleagues will exclude us, thinking we are aliens from Hong Kong, thinking we are grabbing their rice bowls..."

"It is impossible for us to integrate into them..."

Sherry listened.

Suddenly felt a chill.

What the leader analyzed had a 99% chance of happening!

Riley looked at Sherry: "If so, will you be reconciled?"

Sherry lowered her head.

The answer was self-evident.

If they were hot-blooded youths, they might believe in "long live the queen" and unconditionally support Great Britain.

But Riley and Sherry were already political old oilers; they had seen too many dirty things, they weren't that pure anymore.

Sherry: "Then Boss's meaning is?"

Riley answered the question: "Why do you think the former Governor of Hong Kong was sworn brothers with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu? He still looks quite rich even now? I suppose you have some guesses, right?"

Sherry nodded: "It should be that he has had many transactions with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and sold out the interests of Great Britain."

Slap~~~

"The problem lies right here."

"If there was no Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu in Hong Kong, Fat Peng wouldn't dare to sell out the interests of Great Britain."

"But the problem is, Hong Kong produced a Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu. Although he is despicable, shameless, insidious, and ruthless, everyone calls him—reputation!"

"So Fat Peng logically sold out the interests of Great Britain in exchange for money."

After so much foreshadowing,

Riley: "So, you understand now, right?"

Sherry nodded, head held high: "The Governor has always been our leader. What the leader does, we follow. There is absolutely no problem!"

Riley laughed: "Right, right, right, you said it correctly. As long as we follow the leader, we will never be wrong."

"Do you know what is most important in our Political Department?"

Sherry didn't hesitate: "Various materials!"

In 1984, the UK worried that after Hong Kong returned, the large amount of Eastern intelligence mastered by the Political Department (such as monitoring records of pro-Eastern figures, infiltration action files) would be obtained by the East, so seven years in advance, they carried out file transfers and personnel transfers one after another.

The core files of the Political Department were transferred back to the UK in batches from the beginning and taken over by MI6.

These files include:

——Anti-espionage action records: such as monitoring of Eastern mainland intelligence personnel, review of "pro-Eastern" officials within the Hong Kong government.

——Political infiltration materials: including long-term infiltration records of unions, associations, schools, and support strategies for pro-British political parties.

——Technical means documents: such as technical details of telecommunications monitoring and mail monitoring.

According to the original plan, the remaining majority of the materials would be transported away all at once in 1996.

Riley stood up, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out the window,

Said faintly,

"The former Governor could talk, so why can't we talk?"

"Ring ring ring~~~"

The phone on the desktop rang.

Riley looked at the phone number; it was from the Governor's House.

Connected.

Riley's voice immediately became loyal and righteous:

"Governor!"

"Okay, I'll be there right away!"

Tonight, the Governor had a very important itinerary—to meet the highest-level undercover agent, Zhou Wenjian.

……

……

2 hours later,

22:00,

Late at night, no rain, light breeze blowing.

Rooftop of the tallest building in Western District,

The night was like ink, the stars were sparse.

On the rooftop, the cool wind swept past, carrying a trace of the salty fishy smell unique to the harbor. The lights of Victoria Harbour in the northeast were flickering in the distance, outlining the prosperous silhouette of Tsim Sha Tsui.

Zhou Wenjian stood at the edge of the rooftop, his black windbreaker slightly lifted by the wind. He looked serious, with no intention of admiring the night view.

Not long after,

"Clang~~~"

In the distance, the iron door of the fire escape was gently pushed open.

4 bodyguards in black suits walked out first, quickly dispersing to guard.

Subsequently, Governor Patten walked out slowly from the door, wearing a well-tailored dark gray suit, with a gentle face and a faint smile at the corners of his mouth.

Behind him followed Riley of the Political Department.

"David, sorry to keep you waiting." Patten's voice carried a trace of intimacy.

"Governor." Zhou Wenjian bowed slightly, his tone respectful.

Patten walked a few steps closer, stood beside Zhou Wenjian, and cast his gaze toward the night view of Victoria Harbour in the distance.

"The view here is not bad." He smiled, "Meeting here is very inconvenient, but to see you, it's all worth it. Because I value you very much."

Zhou Wenjian lowered his head: "I don't deserve it."

"No, you deserve it."

Patten looked at Zhou Wenjian appreciatively: "I've read your file... The most excellent agent of the Political Department, lurking in the Five Star Group for so long, you are the one who climbed the fastest."

Zhou Wenjian still maintained a humble expression: "It is my honor to serve the Queen."

Patten nodded with satisfaction, reached out and patted his shoulder, his tone gentle but full of power:

"David, Her Majesty the Queen sees your loyalty."

"After we clear out Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's forces and the Political Department is dissolved, you will be a key training target for MI6."

"Her Majesty the Queen has specially approved that at that time, she will personally award you the 'Imperial Medal' to recognize your contribution."

It was all fooling.

Would Her Majesty the Queen worry about such things?

Isn't this hilarious?

If it were the Zhou Wenjian of the past, who believed in the Queen, hearing this, he would definitely be excited.

Unfortunately, the current Zhou Wenjian no longer believed in this set of hypocritical political rhetoric.

He only believed in Brother Zu!

Because Brother Zu was doing things in a down-to-earth way, making Hong Kong better!

But he still showed a grateful expression on the surface, his voice trembling slightly: "Subordinate... swears to be loyal!"

"David!"

Patten's smile was gentle, his tone relaxed,

"Actually, in private, we can be friends."

"Friends?" Zhou Wenjian pretended to be surprised.

Patten nodded: "Yes, friends. In this city, there aren't many people you can trust, and you are the comrade-in-arms I value the most."

He paused, his gaze deep:

"Do you know? I grew up on an estate in the London suburbs when I was a child. There was an oak forest there. I often sat under the trees alone, looking at the sky, fantasizing about one day being able to expand the territory for the British Empire."

"At that time, my father told me that the glory of the Empire would never be extinguished, and what we had to do was to guard it and let it shine in every corner of the world."

"Now you also know the situation in Hong Kong. The tentacles of this Five Star Group have reached every part of Hong Kong. My last probing of the media made me experience what it means—the enemy is at the gates!"

"The former Governor was incompetent and actually let the Five Star Group develop to this point!"

Speaking of this,

Governor Patten angrily slapped the wall.

He was really angry!

Fat Peng, you ruined that great situation, why don't you go die!

"Now, Hong Kong is our battlefield."

"You and I are partners fighting side by side."

Patten looked at Zhou Wenjian, his eyes full of expectation,

"We are not just for power, but for a greater dream—to let the British Empire stand tall on this land forever."

Zhou Wenjian showed excitement:

"Governor... no, Mr. Patten!"

"It is my honor to be your friend."

He flushed with excitement: "I am willing to follow you and dedicate everything to the glory of the British Empire!"

Queen, loyalty!

Governor, loyalty!

Patten smiled with satisfaction, reached out and held his hand tightly:

"Good! From today on, we are comrades-in-arms, partners!"

"Together, defeat the Five Star Group!"

"Let the Empire's flag fly forever!"

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

Next, the two drank, talked about the Five Star Group, and spoke from the heart.

"By the way, do you have any illegal information about the Five Star Group?"

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Patten, the Five Star Group is very strict in this regard. I have already tried various ways to inquire about illegal and criminal things, but I haven't found any."

Patten nodded: "If there's none, forget it, keep working hard!"

"Your most important task is not to master their illegal content, but to climb to a high position as much as possible, master greater power, and then promote our own people."

Zhou Wenjian patted his chest: "No problem! I will implement it as soon as I go back! But I need you to give me a list..."

Patten: "The list has already been brought."

He waved his hand.

Female secretary Arika took out a list and handed it to Zhou Wenjian.

Zhou Wenjian subconsciously looked at Arika.

Very approachable!

Next,

They chatted for another 20 minutes, it was already 23:00.

Patten got up, said some more things like "you are my brother", "for the sake of Great Britain", "come on"... before reluctantly saying goodbye and leaving.

After the Governor left,

Zhou Wenjian still stood on the rooftop, letting the night wind blow.

This list is a bit hot to handle.

This can also be considered a kind of probing by the Governor to see if he has betrayed him.

……

……

The next day,

Zhou Wenjian went to work, then came to the top floor of the headquarters to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's office, reporting the details of the meeting last night.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was feeding fish,

"The general process is like this..."

"This Patten just wants me to climb up as soon as possible... In addition, he gave me a list and asked me to promote the employees of the Political Department."

"What should I do? I suspect he wants to test me."

Zhou Wenjian worried.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled: "Just give the list to me, you don't need to worry about the rest..."

Zhou Wenjian: "Yes!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at Zhou Wenjian, full of appreciation: "I said, after this matter, I will promote you... Recently, Li Cangdong, the person in charge of the property branch in the West Kowloon area, went to the mainland. I just happen to be preparing to combine the East and West Kowloon into one area. At that time, I will organize an internal competition, you participate, and finally, you will serve as the person in charge of this total area."

Hearing this, Zhou Wenjian was moved: "Thank you for Mr. Guan's trust!"

After all, he was a double-sided undercover agent, and Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu could trust him so much, which moved him very much.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled: "We are all family! Why be so polite! Call me Brother Zu from now on!"

We are family!

Zhou Wenjian's eyes turned red: "Yes, Brother Zu!"

After Zhou Wenjian left, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu continued to feed the fish.

Not long after,

Gang Sheng pushed the door and came in.

"Boss, Da Tou received a note, specifically pointing out that it was for you, and there is a mobile number on it."

"What does it mean?"

"Not clear."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu took the note in surprise.

Thinking about it, he picked up a new phone number and dialed it.

"Hello."

"Mr. Guan?" A Cantonese with a foreign accent came over.

"May I ask who you are?" Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was a bit curious about the other party's identity.

"My name is Sherry, secretary of the Political Department. I don't know if it's convenient for Mr. Guan to come out and chat?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was shocked.

Political Department?

Talking to himself so privately, what do they want to do?

"Could it be?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu suddenly thought of a possibility and couldn't help but be happy.

"Okay, 8 o'clock tonight, Bai Sha Street, Kowloon Bingshi!"

……

……

Evening, eight o'clock.

Bai Sha Street, street lights bright.

In the past, the street lights here were dim, but later Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu directly changed all the light bulbs in Causeway Bay, and it started to become bright, looking comfortable.

Kowloon Bingshi.

Although Jiu Wenlong left, Ah Kang was still there, and hired new chefs and waiters.

The table that Crow didn't successfully flip back then was still there, the explosion screws fixed firmly on the ground.

Time can cut off heroes, but it can't cut off it.

"Clang~~~"

The door pushed open, and the cool wind blew into the shop.

Ah Kang looked up and was pleasantly surprised: "Wow, Brother Zu, how come you have time to come here..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, Xu Zhengyang, and Ding Hu walked in.

"Ah Kang, long time no see."

"Yeah, long time no see."

"Tonight I want to use your shop to talk about something. Don't take other guests later. The chef and waiter should also go out..."

"No problem!"

Ah Kang went to the kitchen happily, drove the chef and waiter out of Kowloon Bingshi, and then took a "temporarily closed" sign and hung it at the door.

"By the way, Brother Zu, what do you want to eat? And this brother, what do you want to eat?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Give me a cup of silk stocking milk tea..."

Ding Hu was confused and asked Xu Zhengyang in a low voice: "What is silk stocking milk tea?"

Xu Zhengyang was serious: "It's milk tea made with silk stockings."

Ding Hu: "Hiss~~~"

Immediately, his heart was yellow~~~

Xu Zhengyang actually knew for the first time too, but it didn't prevent him from acting cool as an old senior.

It's quite reasonable for a cool guy to be occasionally moody, right?
