Chapter 116: Dai wants to kill me; I have no choice

~19 min read 3,722 words

Hospital.

Ding Defeng used the fastest speed to pull Wanqiu into the isolation warehouse.

As soon as Wanqiu entered, she was dumbfounded.

Inside were all leprosy patients coughing and covered in red rashes.

The thick smell of medicine made her panic to the point of suffocation.

"Miss Wanqiu, this is Secretary Hong's intention."

Ding Defeng gave a reminder and called people to give her an IV.

"Thank you, Director Ding."

Wanqiu pursed her lips, and her eyes became firm.

She trusted Hong Zhiyou just as she trusted herself.

Soon.

Ding Defeng had just returned to his office when Wang De led people to break in.

"Who are you people?" Ding Defeng questioned.

A secret agent flashed his credentials.

"Where is the woman who was just sent in?" Wang De grabbed Ding Defeng by the collar and asked fiercely.

"Sent, sent to the back for isolation," Ding Defeng said in a panic.

"Take me there."

Wang De let go and pushed him.

Ding Defeng couldn't afford to offend him and led him to the warehouse.

As soon as the door opened.

It was foul inside.

Patients with rashes on their faces were scratching, coughing, and groaning miserably.

The stench of feces and urine mixed with the smell of medicine made one want to vomit.

"She's there," Ding Defeng pointed to the bed at the very back.

Wang De glanced inside, and his scalp went numb.

The other secret agents also shrank back in fear.

This short distance of a few dozen meters felt like an insurmountable chasm.

"Damn it, didn't you check her?

"You just pulled her over and isolated her?"

Wang De slapped him in annoyance.

"Officials.

"The municipal government has a clear regulation: suspect disease as if it exists; as long as it's similar to a contagion, it must be isolated before diagnosis."

Ding Defeng explained with a bitter face.

He was truly a miserable director.

Many people begged him.

But even more didn't treat him like a human being.

The day before yesterday, the father of a municipal official's wife died, and they complained he didn't treat him well and slapped him.

In the afternoon, Ma Kui came and slapped him a few times.

He didn't know which faction this was from, but it was another slap.

His face had been swollen and never recovered.

"Is leprosy very contagious?" Wang De asked.

"Of course, why else would it be called leprosy?

"Once you get it, you go crazy."

Ding Defeng scared him.

As soon as he said this, Wang De felt his face go numb and quickly waved his hand:

"Quick, close the door.

"Truly damn unlucky."

Upon reaching the director's office, he immediately called Wu Taixun to report.

"Brother, Mu Wanqiu has been isolated.

"Locked up with dozens of leprosy patients; even if she didn't have the disease, she has it now."

Inside the mansion, Wu Taixun smiled bitterly at Dai Li.

"Jinhai Tong really has some supernatural powers.

"Playing little tricks on me!

"Interesting.

"Beiping had a Ma Hansan.

"Jinhai has popped up a Secretary Hong.

"Since ancient times, Yan and Zhao have produced many brave men; fine, they are all challenging me one by one."

Dai Li nodded and laughed coldly.

"Arrest him; I'll kill him tonight," Wu Taixun said.

"No rush.

"I heard this Secretary Hong has very wild connections.

"He's familiar with the garrison and the gangs?"

Dai Li asked.

"Yes, he is very close to Long Er of the Cao Gang.

"He calls several regimental commanders and adjutants of the 94th Army brothers; I don't know the specifics.

"I live separately from Jiu'er and spend most of my time in Beiping, so I'm not familiar with this guy.

"As long as you say the word, he will be dead tonight."

Wu Taixun knew well that this key figure of the Military Statistics Bureau had the ability to cover the sky with one hand.

"No rush!

"I have important business in Jinhai this time.

"I'll deal with him later.

"As for this young woman, if she dies in the hospital, so be it; if she doesn't, keep a close eye on her for me."

Dai Li ordered coldly.

There was no "meat" in this world he couldn't eat.

Women were just dishes on the dining table.

Whether to eat or not depended entirely on his mood.

The reason he didn't move against Hong Zhiyou was purely out of habit.

Never fight a snake on its own turf.

Because no matter how skilled a snake catcher is, it's hard to guarantee there won't be a slip-up.

Getting involved personally was not his style.

Dai Li had rolled and crawled in the underworld in his early years and knew the methods of these local snakes well.

Once he left Jinhai, a single order from him could take Hong Zhiyou's dog life.

But in Jinhai.

If someone was driven to a corner, they might not dare to shoot him in the back.

One must know that Wang Yaqiao was once the nightmare of the Chairman!

Dai Li, who had personally lured and killed Wang Yaqiao, knew the terror of these desperate men.

"Just pick one.

"This one looks like Liu Yuzhu."

He casually picked a photo and threw it to Wu Taixun.

This time in Beiping, Ma Hansan was indeed cooperative.

Dai Li had originally intended to punish him.

But he couldn't pull himself away, tied up by the Chairman's special mission.

However, it wasn't a total loss.

That confidential secretary by Ma Hansan's side, Liu Yuzhu, was absolutely top-notch in skill and looks.

It was truly an aftertaste that lingered.

Hong Zhiyou returned home.

Yu Zecheng, draped in a coat, was walking in the courtyard to digest his food.

"Zhiyou, I'm afraid you've caused trouble."

As soon as he saw Hong Zhiyou, he said in a low voice.

"Boss Dai is famously petty; Ding Defeng just called me.

"He said Wu Taixun's men led the headquarters secret agents to the hospital to pull people out.

"The Boss saw through your little trick.

"This grudge is settled."

Yu Zecheng said while walking.

"I know." Hong Zhiyou smiled faintly.

He could feel that Old Yu was genuinely concerned about him.

He hadn't "raised him in vain."

"This isn't your style," Yu Zecheng said.

"If he wanted to sleep with Zuo Lan, what would you do?" Hong Zhiyou asked him back.

Yu Zecheng's mouth twitched, and he fell silent.

"Do you need me to do anything?

"I estimate the Station Chief already knows; he will definitely be cursing tomorrow."

Sighing slightly, Yu Zecheng asked.

"I remember you have a brother-in-law named Han Wentao, right?" Hong Zhiyou touched his nose with his hand.

"Yes.

"How did you know?" Yu Zecheng was very surprised.

"The Station Chief asked He Siyuan for people.

"Mr. He didn't give them; your brother-in-law is of the Han Fuju clan and has some influence in Shandong.

"Is he familiar with Qingdao?

"Don't tell me you haven't contacted each other.

"This is very important, as urgent as Wen Chong's matter."

Hong Zhiyou stared into his eyes, changing from his usual playful self.

"Familiar.

"My brother-in-law is Mr. He's special advisor; he was just transferred to Qingdao last month and has the power of supervision.

"Besides, he is sworn brothers with Liang Ruojie, the station chief of the Qingdao station."

Yu Zecheng answered.

"That's enough."

Hong Zhiyou nodded and turned to leave.

"No, what do you want to do?

"Run to Qingdao?"

Yu Zecheng grabbed him, a bit panicked.

Without Hong Zhiyou, he wouldn't have an easy life.

"Mrs. Ji of Renji's liquor money for this month needs to be settled.

"Sister Mei has a cold; the Station Chief asked me to go collect the debt.

"Why, are you jealous that I'm rolling in the sheets with her?"

Hong Zhiyou laughed.

"Get lost." Yu Zecheng kicked him with a smile.

"Be careful that Big Mouth sits on you and crushes you to death!"

Hong Zhiyou scolded him and slipped away.

Passing by the entrance, he saw his mother and little sister chatting inside.

Hong Zhiyou paused slightly, then stepped out of the courtyard.

Forget it.

No need to explain anything.

If he happens to croak, let everyone fend for themselves.

Arriving at the club.

Hong Zhiyou vented his full anger on Ji Qing.

After finishing, he walked to the window, lit a cigarette, and pondered.

To save Wanqiu tonight, he had basically staked his life.

Dai Li indeed didn't have many days left to live.

But that didn't mean he could survive safely; he had to make full preparations.

According to some information.

When Dai Li went to Qingdao, he should be traveling with Liu Yuzhu, the flower of the Military Statistics Bureau.

That was where the rumor of Liu Yuzhu planting a bomb came from.

Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that Liu Yuzhu was at Wu Taixun's mansion.

He would ask at the station tomorrow.

Whether it was weather or man-made disaster.

Rather than counting on a thunderstorm to crash the plane, it was better to arrange a man-made disaster for Old Dai himself, to have a double insurance.

"What are you thinking about?"

Ji Qing walked over, hugging him from behind and biting his ear.

"I'm a bit hot-tempered tonight."

Hong Zhiyou looked at her and extinguished the cigarette butt.

Ji Qing smiled gently and knelt down sensibly.

"Hoo!"

The next day.

Hong Zhiyou arrived at the station and called the Beiping office directly:

"Hello, I am Secretary Hong Zhiyou of the Jinhai Station; regarding a batch of supplies shipped from Jinhai Port to Beiping, may I ask if Director Ma has signed for it?

"Oh, Director Ma hasn't been at the station these past few days.

"Then is Liu Yuzhu, Secretary Liu, there?

"She is, is she?

"Good, thank you; please have her notify Director Ma, and remember to send back a receipt telegram after signing."

Hanging up the phone.

Hong Zhiyou frowned.

Dai Li wouldn't stay in Jinhai for too long, yet Liu Yuzhu was still in Beiping.

Clearly, Old Ma hadn't made up his mind yet.

It seemed he had to go to Beiping himself to meet this Prince Ma.

"Secretary Hong, the Station Chief wants you to go to his office."

Xiao Guohua walked in.

"Understood, Section Chief Xiao," Hong Zhiyou nodded.

"The Station Chief is in a bad mood.

"Be careful."

Xiao Guohua reminded him in a low voice.

"Understood, thanks, Old Xiao."

Entering the office, Wu Jingzhong pointed at the door with a straight face.

Hong Zhiyou closed it.

Then he marched forward and stood with his head bowed, waiting to be scolded.

"Are you crazy?

"Where is your brain?

"You think you can open a dye shop just because I gave you a little color, right?

"You actually had the dog guts to play little tricks on Boss Dai for the sake of a woman!

"Last night, Wu Taixun called me.

"Boss Dai is very angry, and the consequences are very serious!"

Wu Jingzhong slapped the desk several times, hating that he couldn't turn him into steel.

"I was soft-hearted back then.

"I should have let Liu Xiong finish off that vixen long ago.

"A miscalculation."

After scolding, he pointed at Hong Zhiyou, his head aching with annoyance.

"Teacher.

"You were the one who said that politics without human sentiment is short-lived.

"I couldn't stand by and watch her enter a pit of fire.

"Just like if one day, Teacher, you, Ruirui, I... Mom, you all fell into trouble.

"No matter who the opponent is.

"Even if it's the King of Heaven, I will fight with all my might, even if it means being smashed to pieces, I won't regret it."

Hong Zhiyou's eyes reddened as he said resolutely.

"You..." Wu Jingzhong looked at him, unable to speak for a long time.

"Your wings have hardened."

He nodded and sighed.

"Teacher, it's not that my wings have hardened, but that I am supporting the sky that is you.

"I need to go to Beiping now."

Hong Zhiyou took a deep breath and requested.

"Dai Li will suspect you," Wu Jingzhong said.

"In his eyes, I'm not even as good as an ant.

"He will only think I'm a coward running away, wanting to use Yong Jianqiu's connections to seek refuge with Li Zongren.

"As he wishes, I am going to the Beiping Headquarters."

Hong Zhiyou said.

"You want to find Ma Hansan; what do you want to do? Are you crazy?" Wu Jingzhong immediately understood Hong Zhiyou's intention.

"Teacher, rather than sitting and waiting for death, it's better to fight with all one's might.

"Dai Li wants to kill me; I have no choice."

Hong Zhiyou knew nothing could be hidden from Old Wu, so it was better to confess actively.

"If Boss Dai falls, I will be in a difficult spot; Mao Renfeng will fix me," Wu Jingzhong pointed at him and lowered his voice.

"Teacher.

"Haven't you seen the situation clearly yet?

"It is the three Chens, Jianfeng, the Chairman, and Madam Jiang who want Boss Dai dead.

"Dai Li has been plotting to assassinate Lin Tai; the Madam has long been displeased with him.

"Especially the American Seventh Fleet Commander Ke Ke, who specifically named the Chairman to have Boss Dai appointed as Navy Commander.

"Once the navy is built, who will it listen to?

"That is an army, it is a sharp ship and a heavy cannon that can knock open the country's door, not the German-made pistols of the Military Statistics Bureau.

"The Chairman is not Li Longji.

"He would rather not have a navy than ever allow a second 'An Lushan'."

Hong Zhiyou raised his index finger and analyzed righteously.

"It is Boss Dai who wants to cut himself off from the Party and State, to cut himself off from the Chairman!

"Without Ma Hansan.

"There will be Hu Hansan, Sun Hansan!

"If not today, then tomorrow or next year.

"Dai Li must die; even the Americans can't protect him!"

He continued to analyze in a passionate, low voice.

"Fine, fine.

"I can't out-talk you; if something happens, you bear it alone.

"Don't implicate me and Ruirui."

Wu Jingzhong knew this logic well.

All the officials of the Party and State were watching how this grand drama would end.

Only Boss Dai had fallen into the abyss of power, his mind deluded by the Americans, his eyes covered, stepping onto a road of no return.

"Thank you, Teacher."

Seeing him loosen his stance, Hong Zhiyou bowed ninety degrees and slowly exited the station chief's office.

"Sigh!

"This dog cub!

"He's truly going to be the death of me!"

Wu Jingzhong pressed his hands on the desk, his blood pressure soaring, his temples throbbing wildly.

He used to be loyal to Dai Li.

But now he was loyal to money.

If Dai Li died, even if Mao Renfeng replaced him.

With Zheng Jiemin and Jianfeng, he could still go to a lucrative department and build a "new world" with Hong Zhiyou.

Of course, there was also that "Mom" from Hong Zhiyou.

Being so bloody, he believed that when he was in his twilight years, he would also look after Ruirui like this.

Sigh!

Play deaf and dumb.

Wish him success.

"Station Chief."

Lu Qiaoshan walked in.

"Anything?" Wu Jingzhong leaned back in his chair and asked wearily.

"I just checked the monitoring records.

"Last time in the interrogation room, when Huang Zhong identified Ma Kui, someone called headquarters.

"It was made from the action team's office.

"I asked, and they said it was Sun Xing."

Lu Qiaoshan said.

He was already blinded by blood and wouldn't rest until he bit Ma Kui to death.

"Sun Xing?" Wu Jingzhong frowned.

"That's right, he was brought over from Shancheng by Ma Kui.

"He used to follow Director Mao." Lu Qiaoshan answered.

"Setting up a trap right under my nose.

"Outrageous!

"Call Section Chief Xiao, arrest him secretly immediately, and arrange for the basement."

Wu Jingzhong's eyes turned cold as he ordered.

"Yes." Lu Qiaoshan was overjoyed.

After he went out, Wu Jingzhong picked up the phone:

"Zecheng, come over here."

Yu Zecheng walked in quickly: "Station Chief, you were looking for me."

"You know about Zhiyou's matter, right?" Wu Jingzhong asked.

"I know.

"Offended Boss Dai for the sake of a little girl." Yu Zecheng said.

"Sigh, the man has run off to Beiping to play in the mud with Li Zongren and Ma Hansan.

"I'm not used to using others.

"You first hand over the work in the confidential room to Section Chief Qin and come over to be my secretary for a few days."

Wu Jingzhong said.

"Understood, Teacher.

"But I might not be as meticulous as Zhiyou when it comes to serving tea and pouring water; Teacher, don't take offense when the time comes," Yu Zecheng smiled.

"What offense.

"Who knows how many more days I can drink this tea.

"Let's go!

"You haven't been to the basement, have you? I'll take you for a tour."

Wu Jingzhong waved his hand and led Yu Zecheng to the second basement level.

"Has the man been arrested?"

Seeing Lu Qiaoshan standing at the door, Wu Jingzhong asked.

"Arrested.

"Section Chief Xiao has taken him in." Lu Qiaoshan didn't have the qualifications to go in and could only wait outside.

"Let's go in together and listen."

Wu Jingzhong waved his hand, and the staff member inside immediately opened the iron door.

Arriving at the basement.

Xiao Guohua was personally administering the torture, making Sun Xing howl miserably.

"Speak.

"What did Director Mao send you and Ma Kui to do?" Wu Jingzhong asked.

"I don't know.

"I want to report to Director Mao, report to the headquarters inspection office."

Sun Xing started screaming like a ghost.

"Is this your first day in the Military Statistics Bureau?

"Once you enter this place, your life and death are not in Director Mao's hands, nor the King of Hell's, but in mine.

"Think clearly.

"Speak, and suffer less.

"Don't speak, and if you endure, you will eventually have to open your mouth."

Wu Jingzhong folded his arms and said coldly.

"I, I'll speak."

Sun Xing was a sensible man; he didn't pretend to be a tough guy and started confessing directly.

"Mao Sen and Mao Wanli have always coveted the position of Jinhai Station Chief.

"Last time Ma Kui went to headquarters, he slandered Director Yu, saying he had the certainty of catching ironclad evidence of Director Yu's ticket-passing.

"He also said that you, Station Chief, have a very close relationship with Mu Liancheng.

"Mu Liancheng's classmate is the Military Mediation Director Deng Ming.

"The matter of the Commercial Ticket Hall was you leaking the information.

"Director Mao sent Ma Kui back to find evidence against you and Director Yu, and then help Mao Wanli sit in the position of Jinhai Station Chief and swallow this piece of fat meat."

Sun Xing confessed everything one by one.

Wu Jingzhong listened with his heart pounding in fear.

"Station Chief, this 'Three Maos' are eyeing our Jinhai Station; we can't let them get away with it," Lu Qiaoshan gasped.

He was having a great time skimming in Jinhai.

If Mao Wanli came, what would be left for him?

"Indeed.

"Treating me like a soft persimmon to be squeezed," Wu Jingzhong sneered.

"What else did Ma Kui find out?" Lu Qiaoshan asked.

"Ma, Captain Ma caught an important Red Ticket."

"Who?"

"Huang Zhong's wife, Jiang Aimei!"

Sun Xing gritted his teeth and revealed the big secret.

Yu Zecheng's heart pounded wildly, and he swallowed his saliva nervously.

"Ho, how was she caught?" Wu Jingzhong asked hurriedly.

"Chen Wenbin's men found Wen Chong at Mawei Village, on the border of Beiping and Jixian.

"They were just meeting him, planning to turn him to claim credit from Captain Ma.

"As a result, I don't know who leaked the wind.

"Jiang Aimei received the information and went to meet Wen Chong in advance; the two sides exchanged fire.

"Wen Chong was seriously injured.

"Jiang Aimei's Achilles tendon was shot; after running out of bullets, she attempted suicide but failed and was caught by the nearby security regiment."

Sun Xing had been responsible for running this matter and knew more than Ma Kui.

"Station Chief, this is a truly big fish," Lu Qiaoshan said.

"What big fish or small fish?

"I only know now that Ma Kui wants to stir up trouble."

Wu Jingzhong slapped the table in annoyance.

Compared to catching a Red Ticket, Mao Renfeng's piercing sword was the urgent priority that had to be resolved.

"Where is the person hidden?" Wu Jingzhong demanded.

"With Station Chief Chen Wenbin in Jixian," Sun Xing said.

"Qiaoshan, think of a way to have this woman executed.

"Listen well.

"You are Zheng Jiemin's fellow townsman, and I am his old classmate.

"The Jinhai Station can fail to make contributions.

"It can fail to catch Red Tickets.

"But it absolutely does not allow anyone surnamed Mao!

"Otherwise, neither of us will have a good ending!

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Wu Jingzhong pointed at Lu Qiaoshan and instructed solemnly.

"Station Chief, rest assured; Qiaoshan is not confused; I know which way the mountain opens and where the water flows."

Lu Qiaoshan smiled slightly and rose to leave.

Yu Zecheng's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Once Jiang Aimei died, he would be safe.

But such an experienced comrade... sigh, what a huge loss.

"Is she seriously injured?" Wu Jingzhong asked.

"Took a few lashes, nothing too serious," Sun Xing said.

"Good.

"Put your clothes on and continue to watch Ma Kui by his side.

"In the future, you will be the action team captain."

Wu Jingzhong took out a thousand US dollars and handed them to Sun Xing.

"Thank, thank you, Station Chief." Sun Xing was moved to tears.

Lu Qiaoshan took Sheng Xiang and a few confidants.

Just as they walked out of the lobby, they saw Ma Kui getting out of a car.

Behind him, Mi Zhiguo and Song Fei were escorting a woman.

It was Jiang Aimei!
