Chapter 532: Approaching the Organization

At this moment, a short man of about thirty, wearing his hair in a neat side part, walked over quickly and opened with a fluent London accent: "Sir, what can I do for you?"

He Yuzhu smiled slightly and said, "My mother wants me to bring some bird's nest back to the United Kingdom. Do you have any good recommendations?"

The man with the side part's eyes lit up, and he explained, "Easy. Our bird's nest is divided into 5A and 4A grades. For the 5A grade, it is normally 30 Hong Kong Dollars per tael, but if you buy a lot, I will give it to you for 26 Hong Kong Dollars..."

He Yuzhu listened carefully to his explanation while thinking about how to find Bureau Chief Zheng. After the man finished, He Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "Then give me ten jin of the 5A bird's nest."

The man with the side part was stunned, then smiled very happily, "Sir, you are truly a big spender. We usually don't have that much in stock, but it just so happens that a new batch arrived two days ago, and the quantity is just enough."

"Can I see the goods first?" He Yuzhu asked.

"Of course, of course!" The man with the side part led the way, "Please follow me to the inner hall to sit for a moment. I will have someone bring the goods over immediately for your inspection."

He Yuzhu followed him through the front hall and into the Houyuan.

It was very quiet here; He Yuzhu immediately knocked the man with the side part unconscious and put him into his space.

This person also had a gun hidden at his waist; he was definitely a secret agent.

He Yuzhu ignored the armed clerks in the front hall and headed straight for the concrete Dark Bunker in the Houyuan. He had only one thought in his mind: this time, he would absolutely not let Bureau Chief Zheng go!

He Yuzhu's figure moved like the wind, and in a few steps, he reached the back of the Dark Bunker.

He did not go through the front door to clash head-on with the five secret agents; instead, with a slight movement of his mind and the help of the power of his space, he silently opened a door in the thick back wall.

His figure flashed, and he stood directly behind the five people.

The five men turned their heads abruptly, their faces instantly filled with incredulous shock.

He Yuzhu recognized Bureau Chief Zheng at a glance.

The four guards reached for their waists by reflex, but He Yuzhu just gave a light wave of his hand, and the five armed secret agents vanished into thin air.

Bureau Chief Zheng had served in the Secret Service Bureau for many years; he immediately seemed to understand everything. From the Beiping Yinhang mystery case many years ago... to the explosion of the M Warship, and then to the mysterious theft of the bank vault... various clues suddenly connected.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a trace of knowing laughter.

"You are He Yuzhu." His tone was calm, carrying the relief of someone who had seen through it all, "I have finally pieced together the events of these years. You are indeed capable of great things... We don't need to beat around the bush. Whatever you want to do, I will cooperate; I only ask that you give me a quick end."

He Yuzhu raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "You are sensible. Tell me honestly first: in this shop, who are your people, and who are the innocent clerks?"

Bureau Chief Zheng shook his head slowly, his gaze indifferent: "Everyone here is one of our people."

"Bureau Chief Zheng is a clear-headed one!" He Yuzhu did not press further. He did not let a single person in the shop go. Anyone who should be gone would leave behind trouble for Liu Rusi.

In the time that followed, he quickly cleaned up the battlefield, taking away all the medicinal herbs in the Warehouse, and also found two radio sets and codebooks.

He did not return to Liu Rusi's place, but instead took Bureau Chief Zheng to an abandoned warehouse.

Without needing to use methods, Bureau Chief Zheng was exceptionally cooperative. Perhaps because he had killed too many people and knew there was no possibility of living, he not only confessed all his side's strongholds in Hong Kong but even revealed the hiding spots of M Country spies.

At the end, He Yuzhu tossed him a hemp rope and pointed to the warehouse beam: "End it yourself; it can be considered leaving you some dignity."

Bureau Chief Zheng could be considered a man of dignity; he essentially laughed as he went to his death.

He Yuzhu still did not go home.

In one night, three Bald Party hideouts and two M Country strongholds were devastated; fifty-six secret agents died by his hand, and those hideouts were burned to the ground.

It was already the early hours of the morning when He Yuzhu returned to Liu Rusi's residence.

Seeing him enter the room, Liu Rusi quickly got up and served him the century egg and lean meat porridge she had prepared.

"Did you not sleep well?" He Yuzhu asked.

Liu Rusi nodded.

He Yuzhu handed over the information Bureau Chief Zheng had confessed.

Liu Rusi quickly flipped through it by the dim light, and a glow gradually appeared on her face: "Great! With these, we can root them out one by one."

"I have already cleared out the locations marked in red. Perhaps there are still some who slipped through the net."

"That is wonderful; we can have a period of peace now." Liu Rusi let out a sigh of relief, and the worry on her face dissipated.

He Yuzhu closed his eyes for less than two hours before getting up. Today, he was going to head out to sea with a cargo ship to "stroll around" in international waters.

Si Jiu Cheng, the Liu family.

The second aunt, Sun Yumei, was brought home by Liu Guangqi.

As soon as he entered the room, Liu Guangqi knelt on the ground with a "thud," tears falling before he spoke: "Mother... please don't blame my two younger brothers. I've been lying in my hospital bed these days tossing and turning, and I finally understand. All the faults, all the mistakes, were mine. After you left, I only cared about my own studies and didn't care for them properly. Sometimes when I was hungry, I would buy some food for myself... I didn't think much of it at the time, but now that I think about it, my brothers must have felt that I, as the eldest brother, was eating alone, which is why they grew resentful. This is the cause I planted, and now... it is merely the result."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yumei's eyes turned red. She hadn't been without complaints about her eldest son these days, but hearing these words, she felt she had wronged him.

"Eldest, get up quickly..." She reached out to help him, her voice choking, "You are the one who suffered this time, and yet you are still so sensible... Mother doesn't even know what to say." She turned her head to glare at her other two sons, her tone turning stern, "You two rascals, kneel down! I'll ask you one thing: do you dare to do this again in the future?"

Liu Guangtian knelt down sullenly, biting his lip without a word.

He knew clearly in his heart that his eldest brother's rhetoric was just to fool their mother; how could his true nature change so easily?

Liu Guangfu was young, and seeing his eldest brother not blaming them but instead taking the blame upon himself, his heart ached, and he believed it seven or eight parts.

Sun Yumei wiped the corners of her eyes, her tone softening: "Guangqi, what are your plans for the future?"

Liu Guangqi pondered for a moment and looked up: "I haven't fully decided yet... but I want to take advantage of the summer vacation to help out at the Street Office literacy class and teach some lessons. It can be considered contributing to society and the country."

"Your father said that it doesn't matter if you didn't pass this year; you can try again next year, you will definitely pass," Sun Yumei said warmly, looking at the eldest son she valued most.

"Mother, I can't just think about myself." Liu Guangqi shook his head, "Let me think about it more. If it really doesn't work out, I'll go to work to support the family and let my two younger brothers study properly!"

These words were extremely hypocritical, but Sun Yumei was moved to tears after hearing them, "Good child, you are too considerate of others. Don't worry, in our family, we will absolutely not let the most honest child suffer," Sun Yumei pulled his hand, "Tell Mother whatever you want to eat. Your father is earning twice as much over there as he was here; we are well-off now."

Liu Guangqi lowered his head and looked at Liu Guangtian's stubborn expression, disdain showing in his eyes.

These past few days, he hadn't been able to take the high school entrance exam, and he felt like killing someone.

But he quickly forced himself to calm down—anger was useless; he had to become powerful. But fighting alone was ultimately weak; he needed a backer.

Where to find a backer? He struggled and pondered for three days before finally setting his sights on one path: getting close to the organization.

To get close to the organization, one must first give.

He soon found the Street Office Director Wang Xia, but her attitude was cold, and she dismissed him in a few words.

Liu Guangqi was not discouraged; he turned around and knocked on the door of the Deputy Director of the Street Office, Zhang Jian.

Hearing that he wanted to substitute teach at the literacy class, Zhang Jian agreed readily.

Liu Guangqi was so proactive naturally because he had other plans.

This literacy class was co-organized by the military compound and the neighborhood office, and there was no shortage of children from the compound among the students and instructors.

If he could get to know these people, even if just to find a path for the future, or... to deal with Xu Damao, it would be much easier.

His foundation in schoolwork was good, and he soon stood out in the night school.

Not long after, the task of the blackboard newspaper fell onto his shoulders.

Responsible for it along with him was a girl named Liu Xiuzhen.

She was plain in appearance and dressed simply, not standing out at all in a crowd.

But Liu Guangqi soon noticed something unusual: she rode a brand-new Phoenix Brand Bicycle, and on her wrist, she wore a watch that was old-fashioned in style but clearly a foreign import.

Liu Guangqi began to approach her intentionally or unintentionally, his words and actions considerate and thoughtful, yet he always maintained a perfectly appropriate distance, his sense of propriety handled extremely steadily.
