~19 min read 3,633 words

Hong Zhiyou looked at him, smiling without speaking.

"Reluctant, moved?" Wu Jingzhong sneered and pointed at him.

"Teacher.

"How is that possible, women are just skin and flesh, play for a few days and you'll get bored.

"Money and you are my only reliance.

"Which side is light, which side is heavy, I can tell."

Hong Zhiyou answered with a faint smile.

Seeing Wu Jingzhong's expression was quite intriguing, he smiled bitterly again:

"Of course.

"The student is not afraid of your blame.

"After being together for so long, to say I'm not a little heartbroken, not uncomfortable, would be a lie."

Wu Jingzhong's expression softened instantly, and he nodded with a smile:

"Hmm.

"A person must have a bit of human touch; heartbroken, uncomfortable, that's right.

"Wind and moon are just clouds and smoke.

"Time will prove the wisdom of your choice today."

"Yes, Station Chief." Hong Zhiyou said respectfully.

"Have you picked the 'students'?

"Can't come from the station; these people have some connections with Ma Kui and Lu Qiaoshan.

"Once it explodes, it's very troublesome."

Wu Jingzhong asked again.

"Let Lin Tian handle it; he's a disciple of the legendary thief Li San, his hands and feet are fast." Hong Zhiyou said.

"Who is Lin Tian?" Wu Jingzhong asked.

"The kid protected by Du Xinwu last time, currently squatting in Shuitun Prison.

"Let him out for some air.

"This kind of person hates evil like a foe; give him some money, reduce his sentence later, and he'll handle it cleanly."

Hong Zhiyou said.

"Hmm.

"Remember, collect the money before doing the work.

"Open your mouth wide, eat as much as you can."

Wu Jingzhong ordered solemnly.

"Teacher, to squeeze money, we still need Section Chief Yu to take the lead.

"He has more experience in slaughtering people than I do.

"And he's a major officer named by Boss Dai, killed Li Haifeng, and can hold the field when asking for money from that gang, good at bargaining."

Hong Zhiyou whispered.

Currently, Zuo Lan just arrived, and intelligence leaked.

Yu Zecheng was in a dangerous situation of being highly suspected.

Hong Zhiyou helped him out casually.

Furthermore, the more people who know, the safer he is.

If Old Wu wants to turn his face later, there will be a witness.

"Let Yu..."

Wu Jingzhong began to ponder.

The leak matter made him suspicious of Yu Zecheng; he really didn't want to use this person.

However, money-making was the priority right now.

Like Mobile Corps Commander Tian, Section Chief Peng, these big fat fish, biting them for another mouthful, the meat torn off would be immeasurable.

Half-doubt, half-use.

"Fine, go call Zecheng in." Wu Jingzhong ordered.

Hong Zhiyou took the order.

Arriving at Yu Zecheng's office, Old Yu was closing his eyes and resting.

"Old Yu, Old Yu?"

After calling twice, Yu Zecheng opened his eyes with a start:

"Brother, has the Station Chief's fire gone out?"

"Gone.

"Let you go, business is coming." Hong Zhiyou waved his head and laughed.

Business?

Yu Zecheng understood, held Hong Zhiyou's hand and thanked him:

"Zhiyou, you really are my timely rain."

Hong Zhiyou slapped him away, disgusted:

"Stop being so cheesy.

"I want half of the kickbacks knocked out."

"You six, I four." Yu Zecheng laughed.

"That's more like it, go." Hong Zhiyou nodded.

Leaving the Confidential Section.

He returned to his office, took two gold bars, and went straight to the Intelligence Section.

Lu Qiaoshan was drinking coffee.

"Director Lu!" Hong Zhiyou knocked on the door.

"Come in.

"The coffee is almost cold.

"Close the door."

Lu Qiaoshan laughed.

Closing the door, Hong Zhiyou sat down.

"Brother, tell me, what's the matter?" Lu Qiaoshan asked with a smile.

"Last time, Dean Ding's nephew's matter.

"The money must be given to you."

Hong Zhiyou took out the gold bars and handed them over.

"Brother, what kind of person do you take your Brother Shan for.

"Just a clerk, who isn't recruiting?

"Brothers, you're being polite with me."

Lu Qiaoshan tried hard not to reach out, pretending to be unhappy.

"Director Lu..."

"No outsiders, call me Brother Shan."

Hong Zhiyou nodded and continued: "Brother Shan.

"Your son isn't married yet, right? Now to marry a wife, if the threshold is low, you look down on it.

"If there's a threshold, car, house, bride price, pomp—where don't you need money?

"Knowing your days are tight, take it."

As he spoke, he forcibly stuffed them into Lu Qiaoshan's suit pocket.

"Brother, you're sensible.

"I recognize you as my brother."

Lu Qiaoshan was moved and poured Hong Zhiyou a cup of coffee.

"Brother, tell me, who leaked the intelligence?" Lu Qiaoshan asked.

He was also afraid the Station Chief would investigate.

Who knows if Sheng Xiang played a hand.

If the radish is pulled out and the mud is brought along, it would be troublesome.

"Whoever, anyway it wasn't me.

"I'm off, Brother Shan."

Hong Zhiyou shrugged casually and stood up to walk out.

"Oh, by the way.

"The Station Chief said you can get off work, rest early."

At the door, Hong Zhiyou explained.

He just came to deliver money.

Lu Qiaoshan, this kind of person, cannot owe a single human favor.

Otherwise, in minutes, "Brother" will become "Little Hong," and he'll be called "Plant" again.

He drove straight to Xie Ruolin's house.

Didn't come at the right time.

Something was going on inside again.

However, fast is really fast.

Hong Zhiyou looked at his watch, knocked on the door before a circle was finished:

"Old Xie, it's me."

Xie Ruolin opened the door looking extremely comfortable.

"Go... go.

"Good work, I'll look for you tomorrow."

He took out two silver dollars and stuffed them into the woman's hand.

"Thanks, brother, contact me then."

The woman blew a kiss to the two and walked out twisting her hips.

"Brother, quite romantic." Hong Zhiyou laughed.

"Restaurant goods, not worth money.

"Buy, buy for the service to be in place, comfortable.

"Brother, anything?"

Xie Ruolin gave a few dry laughs.

"These few people.

"Local Jinhai thorns, now recruited into the Action Team by Ma Kui.

"You pick one, take a photo, old rules, mail it to Director Lu."

Hong Zhiyou took out photos and two hundred US dollars and put them on the table.

"Easy, this... this work I'm familiar with." Xie Ruolin accepted the order happily.

"Won't something happen?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"Won't.

"Our Station Chief Sun can't wait for your people to take photos with me.

"Report back to Director Ye.

"It's also your people who don't follow the rules, deliberately dragging... dragging me into the water."

Xie Ruolin stammered.

"Fine, I'm off.

"Handle the errand early." Hong Zhiyou said.

"Do they have a mission tonight?" Xie Ruolin asked.

"No."

"That's easy to handle, your Director Lu will be able to see the photos tomorrow morning."

Xie Ruolin said efficiently.

"Professional!"

Hong Zhiyou nodded.

Just as he was about to leave, Xie Ruolin grabbed him:

"Don't rush, brother, I also have a matter to ask for your help."

"Intelligence is out of the question.

"I'm not short of this bit of money." Hong Zhiyou directly dismissed his thought.

"Know, definitely wouldn't look for you to buy intelligence.

"I have a relative who is the boss of Tongfu Teahouse; your Director Lu has a group of people under him who eat and drink there every day.

"It's been over half a month, and they haven't paid a cent.

"They can't afford to offend Lu Qiaoshan, so they entrusted... entrusted me to pass a word."

Xie Ruolin laughed.

"Pay." Hong Zhiyou said.

"Brother, I like... like your character.

"No wonder we're on the same path.

"Let's... let's become sworn brothers, get rich together."

Xie Ruolin returned a banknote painfully and slapped it into Hong Zhiyou's hand.

"Forget about becoming sworn brothers.

"We have the same name but different surnames, better to walk our own paths."

Hong Zhiyou stuffed the money into his pocket and walked out.

"Damn.

"Fine, what are you arrogant about.

"Sooner or later you'll become the brother-in-law of my cousin.

"Wouldn't we still be family?"

Xie Ruolin shook his head and sneered.

Hong Zhiyou drove back home.

He didn't enter the courtyard, stood outside and lit a cigarette.

There's a problem with Tongfu Teahouse.

During the time he and Old Yu were away from the station, the Station Chief and Lu Qiaoshan made many deployments against military mediation and the Jinhai underground organization.

Lu Qiaoshan didn't have many people under him.

Usually they ate in the station cafeteria.

Even if there were outside tasks, it's impossible to eat out every day.

And it's the relatively expensive Tongfu Teahouse.

This is a treatment only internal staff have.

The internal staff establishment is very strict, where did so many people come from?

Newly recruited?

Why not return to the station?

Tongfu Teahouse is two streets away from the military mediation representative residence, Chamber of Commerce.

Basically all monitoring means that should be used have been used.

What exactly are these people doing?

No, this matter is very dangerous.

Can't intervene directly.

Must let Old Yu solve it himself.

Thinking of this, Hong Zhiyou extinguished the cigarette and returned to the house.

Someone was talking inside.

As soon as Hong Zhiyou entered, the old man sitting on the stool hurriedly stood up.

"Clap"

He knelt directly in front of Hong Zhiyou and cried:

"Officer Hong, please save my Ping'er."

"No, uncle, get up and talk." Hong Zhiyou helped him up.

"What exactly happened?" he asked.

"Officer.

"My daughter Liu Ping is a reporter for the People's Daily.

"Last night, the newspaper sent her to the Chamber of Commerce to participate in activities, and she never came back.

"I heard from her colleagues that she seems to have been arrested."

The old man cried and complained with snot and tears.

"I heard you are a big official, can handle big and small matters in Jinhai.

"Please be kind, save my Pingping.

"This, this is my money.

"It's all here."

The old man tremblingly took out seven or eight silver dollars and offered them with both hands.

"Brother, just help him.

"Uncle Liu is too pitiful." Hong Xiaohui added sympathetically on the side.

"Shut up." Hong Zhiyou glared at her and scolded coldly.

Hong Xiaohui pouted and didn't dare to make a sound again.

"Uncle, you found the wrong person.

"I'm not a big official, I'm just a clerk in the Postal Service.

"It's getting late, please go back."

Hong Zhiyou didn't give the old man a chance to speak, supported him and pushed him out.

Clap!

Closed the courtyard door.

"Brother, Uncle Liu is too pitiful.

"Can't you help him?

"Don't lie to me, those colleagues of yours who take Dad out to gamble, they are armed.

"Which postal worker carries a gun."

Hong Xiaohui muttered in a low voice.

"Listen well.

"If you let such people into the house again, you can roll back to Hangcheng.

"Mom, Jinhai is not peaceful.

"Keep an eye on everything."

Hong Zhiyou scanned the two with a severe gaze and went straight out of the courtyard.

"Officer.

"Please, save my Pingping!"

Outside the door, the old man Liu knelt down and kowtowed to him again.

Hong Zhiyou was too lazy to look at him.

An old man found his way to his door.

Clearly someone was pointing the way behind his back.

What if it was a trap set by someone?

You have to know he didn't even dare to help an old lady on the road.

Strangers, no relatives, no connections.

A few silver dollars want to fish someone out?

Dreaming.

He is not a good person.

Old Yu is.

Reckon Old Yu should be back, better leave the living Bodhisattva for him to be.

Got in the car.

He originally wanted to see Wanqiu, but changed his mind and sighed, heading straight for 1 Changde Road.

Right now, must coax the eldest lady first.

Otherwise Wanqiu's trouble will be bigger.

Arrived at the villa.

Ruirui was wearing a nightgown and talking to Mei Qiuju.

Wu Jingzhong was soaking his feet and reading the newspaper.

"Teacher, sister-in-law." Hong Zhiyou bowed respectfully.

"Zhiyou, I stewed silver ear lotus seed soup, it's just warm, eat quickly."

Mei Qiuju saw her "son" had come, happy beyond words, and hurriedly asked Chou'er to bring the sweet soup.

"Thank you, sister-in-law.

"Hmm, the taste is not bad, just a bit too sweet."

Hong Zhiyou said while eating without being an outsider.

"Having it to eat is not bad.

"This was stewed by my mom personally, yet you're still picky, want to rebel?"

Wu Ruirui smiled and rolled her eyes at him.

"Yes, yes." Hong Zhiyou laughed honestly.

"Zhiyou, don't listen to her.

"You should give more suggestions, I'll put less rock sugar tomorrow."

Mei Qiuju liked that he wasn't an outsider, and said kindly.

"No need, sister-in-law.

"Recently in Yuezhou I've been eating mountain and sea delicacies with Ruirui, just right to eat less and lose some weight."

Hong Zhiyou answered humorously.

"That's good, you guys talk.

"Old Wu, are you done soaking?" Mei Qiuju gave a look to urge him.

"What's the matter.

"He came, can't I soak my feet?"

Wu Jingzhong put on airs, unhappy, and turned the newspaper over.

"You..." Mei Qiuju was about to speak.

"Don't.

"Teacher, Ruirui and I will go to the small courtyard."

Hong Zhiyou hurriedly said.

Wu Ruirui simply threw on a coat and went with him to the small western-style building next door.

"Don't be angry.

"My dad likes to act serious, clearly likes you, but is afraid you, this future son-in-law, will ride on his head."

Wu Ruirui leaned in Hong Zhiyou's arms and laughed softly.

"I won't ride him.

"I only ride you." Hong Zhiyou reached out and pulled off her coat.

"Hateful, you haven't bathed, full of smoke smell." Wu Ruirui hit him.

"Then let's bathe together."

Hong Zhiyou hugged her into the bathroom, closed the door, and turned on the faucet to handle business.

The two went from the bathroom to the bed.

Busy for most of the night, before settling down.

"Why so energetic today, and a bit absent-minded.

"Using me as your little girlfriend?"

Wu Ruirui was sharp, seeing Hong Zhiyou's dead look when he was energetic earlier, she felt it.

"Nothing can be hidden from you." Hong Zhiyou smiled bitterly faintly.

"Your girlfriend is quite beautiful.

"Delicate, eyes can hook souls.

"Don't say you men, even I was moved."

Wu Ruirui was filled with jealousy.

Hong Zhiyou curled his lips and said nothing.

"My mom told me about your business.

"I also expressed my stance to my dad tonight. I won't marry you.

"But my dad's meaning is, this woman is not just about emotional entanglement.

"She knows a lot of things.

"My dad is more inclined to let her disappear."

Wu Ruirui leaned on his chest and sighed lightly.

"What do you think?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"I can neither control my dad, nor make it difficult for you.

"So, I choose to go abroad.

"Taking advantage of your ability to scoop, gave me three years, first go to America to see the world, learn something.

"Save me from being a vase when doing business, dragging you down and being disliked.

"After all, my dad will have a day of sunset.

"A person's value, only oneself can decide, what do you say?"

Wu Ruirui looked up and asked with a smile.

Hong Zhiyou looked at her seriously.

He knew this woman was very powerful.

But didn't expect that in the era where concubinage was still prevalent, her vision was already so far-reaching.

"I'm starting to like you.

"Really." 【104-303

"Really."

Hong Zhiyou kissed her and said sincerely.

"But compared to liking you, I like money more."

"What should we do?"

"I have thought about marrying you."

"But whenever I think that the person you want to marry in your heart is someone else, and you are acting one way to my face but another behind my back all day, it's better to just be money partners."

"You might never love me."

"But at least you will lead me to get rich, won't you?"

Tears shimmered faintly in her eyes.

"Yes."

"Money is indeed more reliable than men."

"I promise you, perhaps we won't grow old together, but if I attain wealth, half of it will definitely be yours, Wu Ruirui."

Hong Zhiyou raised his hand and swore sincerely.

"In your dreams. We must grow old together."

"Live until we're old, earn until we're old, until the day I enter the coffin."

Wu Ruirui snorted coquettishly and cunningly.

"Deal!" Hong Zhiyou pinched her cheek.

"Then can you give me a breakup gift with all your heart now?"

"Only allowed to think of me, only belonging to me."

Wu Ruirui turned over and lay on top of him.

"Of course."

Hong Zhiyou gathered his spirits, turned over, and pinned her down again.

A long time later.

Hong Zhiyou struggled to get up, wanting to push Wu Ruirui away.

Unexpectedly.

This woman was like a wild bull, pressing down hard on his chest.

"Ugh!"

Hong Zhiyou let out a muffled groan, becoming a deflated balloon.

"Ruirui, you..." He sighed.

"Let's gamble on whether I have this fate."

"I can't trust you."

"Letting you pay an insurance premium, that's no problem, right?"

"Besides, you are so smart and dashing, I have no reason not to choose you."

As Wu Ruirui spoke, she slowly turned her body, her beautiful legs leaning vertically against the wall.

Clearly, she had done her homework.

"Fine."

"You win." Hong Zhiyou laughed bitterly.

"Mm."

"My dad always says, whoever enters Xianyang first is the king; first come, first served."

Wu Ruirui said playfully and triumphantly.

"Sure enough, you are the one who truly received the secret teachings."

The next day.

Hong Zhiyou personally sent her to the port.

He watched Miss Wu board the ferry.

There was no sentimental farewell.

Wu Ruirui didn't even leave a kiss; she put on her sunglasses and only said two words:

"Goodbye."

Then, carrying her suitcase, she entered the cabin without looking back.

Hong Zhiyou did not leave immediately.

He knew Wu Ruirui was strong-willed and must be hiding in some cabin quietly watching him.

No one has it easy.

Better not be too harsh.

He stood in place for a long time.

Only when the ferry became a small black dot did he drive away.

After fulfilling his social obligations, Hong Zhiyou drove back to the station.

As soon as he entered the office.

Lu Qiao, Ma Kui, and Yu Zecheng were standing in punishment.

The radio was broadcasting about the protest by the Red Ticket representatives.

"Snap!"

Wu Jingzhong pressed the off button.

"Gentlemen, well done."

"Students in Beiping, Jinhai, and Jicheng are taking to the streets to protest."

"Boss Dai, Chen Bulei, and Zhang Zhizhong have almost blown up my phone."

"In the end, I'm the one who shouldered everything for you all."

Wu Jingzhong pointed at the group, nodding angrily yet helplessly.

"Station Chief, I will investigate strictly immediately." Lu Qiaoshan stated his position at once.

"I said it long ago, we have a mole." Ma Kui said coldly.

"That's right, there is a mole."

Lu Qiaoshan looked at him with a smile.

"Zecheng, you two go out first."

Wu Jingzhong waved his hand to signal Hong and Yu to withdraw.

"The mole must be investigated, and the big fish must be caught."

"Captain Ma, Qiaoshan, how is the investigation into Lin Tao and Zhou Yunyi going?" Wu Jingzhong asked.

"We have already bought off Old Liu, who sells opium."

"This woman is very cautious."

"She doesn't smoke in the establishment; she always buys a large amount at once and takes it back."

"I've had Old Liu reduce the opium supply recently to keep her on edge first."

Lu Qiaoshan said.

"Is this Old Liu reliable?"

"Can't she find someone else to buy from?" Wu Jingzhong frowned and asked.

"No."

"She is coughing up blood; smoking opium is just to stop the pain."

"She saved Old Liu before."

"Old Liu is a veteran; before the Long March, he followed Chen Changjie, and has been drifting until now, relying on dock connections to sell small amounts of opium for a living."

"Lin Tao trusts him very much and only buys from him."

Lu Qiaoshan introduced.

"Mm, let Old Liu keep her on edge."

"How does Zhou Yunyi treat her?" Wu Jingzhong asked.

"He spoils her more than his own grandmother."

"Station Chief, this Mrs. Zhou is very beautiful."

"And she suffered for their great cause, so Zhou Yunyi has been seeking medical treatment for her; it's said he's tried all the folk remedies in Jinhai City."

"He hasn't spared any effort to get sleeping pills and painkillers from the Army Hospital."

"I heard this Section Chief Zhou never works overtime."

"He gets off work on time every day to cook and accompany his wife; he is a well-known good man at the unit."

Ma Kui rarely echoed Lu Qiaoshan.

"Sigh, women!"

"Wait until her man can't sit still and meets with Old Liu, then invite them."

"People like this with a weakness are the second Liu Wensheng."

"The focus must be on winning hearts and talking; absolutely do not be reckless or use force."

Wu Jingzhong pointed at the two and gave solemn instructions.

"Understood." The two replied.

Lu Qiaoshan gave him a look at this moment.

"Captain Ma, you go busy yourself first." Wu Jingzhong said.

Ma Kui took the order and left.

"Station Chief, I suspect Ma Kui is the mole."

Lu Qiaoshan reached into his pocket, took out a photo, and handed it to Wu Jingzhong.
