She must have read too many magazines and lost her mind... Hong Zhiyou swallowed hard:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop being so flirtatious. If your old Ma runs into us, he'll kill me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He hasn't been home all night; who knows whose arms he's in right now,\" Zhou Gendi said resentfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When are you coming to my place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've finished the magazines; give me some new ones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced outside and closed the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you trying to steal me?\" Hong Zhiyou asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Zhou Gendi nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't you afraid Captain Ma will beat you to death?\" Hong Zhiyou asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Living this ghost of a life as a widow every day, without a shred of joy, I'd rather be beaten to death by him,\" Zhou Gendi said bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was speaking, Ma Kui pushed the door open and walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou was leaning against the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife was sitting in a chair, quite a distance away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Ma Kui was rarely home, he knew exactly who Zhou Gendi saw, what she did, and how long she stayed, all day long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was when he went to headquarters or now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secretary Hong was still quite upright; at least he hadn't crossed the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be able to act this way in front of a beauty like A-Di, he was a decent man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you bring the suit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Kui asked Zhou Gendi coldly and arrogantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I brought it and put it in your office,\" Zhou Gendi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why are you still standing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you need to make lunch or buy groceries?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or do you think your legs are very white and beautiful?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Kui barked coldly, his face expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, I came to ask Secretary Hong for books.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've finished all the books at home,\" Zhou Gendi said in a soft, sweet voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't let her tough talk with Hong Zhiyou fool you; she was actually quite afraid of old Ma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister-in-law, I'll send them to you later when I'm done with my work,\" Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm leaving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Gendi glanced at Ma Kui, picked up her bag, stood up, and walked away, swaying her hips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Acting like a vixen every single day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back in Shanghai, she wasn't this flirtatious, swaying her hips when she walked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Kui stared at his wife's large backside, feeling both love and hate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a new era; one has to make progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at those wives in the Military Families Association; who doesn't sway their hips as if they want to twist them into the sky?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't mind them twisting into the sky, I just fear them twisting into another man's crotch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Kui stared at Hong Zhiyou and sneered, feeling very uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mindset was completely different from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he only wanted to investigate the Red tickets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, going to Jingling, he had a top-secret mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was to find evidence of Yu Zecheng and Wu Jingzhong colluding with the Red tickets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mao Renfeng would have the opportunity to send his nephew Mao Wanli to preside over the Jinhai Station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he himself would surely achieve a great merit, be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, and sit firmly as the Deputy Station Chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, Hong Zhiyou would be unable to escape the fate of being purged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was no longer qualified to take care of A-Di.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entrusting his wife—void!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Ma Kui had also seen through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gentle whispers of \"Zhiyou\" from A-Di in bed and while bathing had long left his heart riddled with holes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Kui knew that in this world, all marital bonds were fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman's heart had already gone bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would rather keep Zhou Gendi a widow for the rest of her life than allow her to affect his reputation and advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain Ma is joking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who would be so bold as to have designs on a Lieutenant Colonel's wife?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou said without changing his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're a sensible man, little brother; take care of yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Kui waved his hand and returned to his office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10:53 AM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Li's motorcade arrived at the Jinhai Station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over a hundred elite agents from headquarters formed a human wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the shortest time possible, they took over the high ground of the Jinhai Station and the guard duties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Li got out of the car, his polished leather shoes stepping onto the red carpet, and he looked up to scan the surroundings vigilantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the snipers on the roof and the guards in the watchtowers give their signals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt slightly more at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou followed Wu Jingzhong to the entrance to welcome him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This notorious devil of the Military Statistics Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His slicked-back hair was shiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a crisp, clean, dark-colored Zhongshan suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was cleanly shaven, but one could faintly see the pale blue tint of thick stubble beneath the skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was because his hands were stained with too much blood, and his murderous aura was too heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps it was the majesty of a superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Li's deep eyes were like a bottomless cold pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making everyone who met his gaze feel an inexplicable chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Dai, welcome to inspect and guide us; thank you for your hard work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong, like a lackey, nodded and bowed, making no effort to hide his sycophancy and respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hard work!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Li nodded slightly, his face stern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not safe outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not accustomed to staying in the \"sunlight\" for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded by bodyguards, he walked quickly into the station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong waved his hand, and everyone hurriedly followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside the station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Li, along with the accompanying Section Chief Gong and several trusted bodyguards, went into the reception room first to take a short rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conference room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong led everyone to stand at attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain Ma, fasten your buttons properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong cast a glance, reminding Ma Kui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Kui looked down and saw that he had dressed too hastily, leaving one button in the middle undone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhiyou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go and check the tables, chairs, and the portraits of the Chairman and Mr. Sun again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not a single speck of dust is allowed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong ordered nervously again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was truly afraid of Dai Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep and unfathomable, with a volatile temperament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One second he was smiling, the next he might turn hostile and demand your head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Lexing, Tang Zong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been tormented to the brink of death before; one could not be too careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou hurriedly checked everything once over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Dai has arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing someone announce the arrival outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly stood to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not a commissioned officer and had no qualification to receive the Director's condolences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Dai Li and Department Chief Gong arrived at the office, following the procedure to offer condolences to the officers under his command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jingzhong, thank you for your hard work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extended his hand, a cold smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Dai, thank you for your hard work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong bowed slightly to shake hands, answering respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hard work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was Lu Qiaoshan's turn, Dai Li returned to his icy state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Dai, thank you for your hard work,\" Lu Qiaoshan said with a beaming smile as he shook hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Dai, you, you have worked hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was Ma Kui's turn, this fellow was so excited his eyes were practically trailing threads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Li was not just a director or a leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a monument in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Kui was overcome with emotion, grasping Dai Li's hand with both of his and shaking it several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This immediately aroused Dai Li's vigilance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows furrowed slightly, and the bodyguard beside him reached for the pistol at his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong was terrified and glared fiercely at the fool Ma Kui, who then reluctantly let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, his gaze still lingered on Dai Li for a long time, unwilling to look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Dai Li walked over to Yu Zecheng, a faint smile appeared on his cold face again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those from the Qingpu Class are all warriors, but you are a meritorious official.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Zecheng stood at attention and saluted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your cultivation, Director; this subordinate will strive to render new meritorious service.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Li nodded, then turned his gaze to Hong Zhiyou:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are Secretary Hong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Director.\" Hong Zhiyou stood straight and replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your piano compositions are quite good; Madame Jiang has praised you,\" Dai Li said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for the praise, Director.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This subordinate will strive to create more fine music,\" Hong Zhiyou said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of such high-ranking officials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flattery and sycophancy, to put it bluntly, were Old Wu's specialty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing a junior could do was to be upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Try not to talk too much or make mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, sit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Li sat down at the head of the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He briefly stated the purpose of his visit to Jinhai: first, to strictly investigate corruption per the Chairman's instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, the matter of the 94th Army's Yang Wenquan taking a concubine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jingzhong, has Yang Wenquan been controlled?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to the Director, after you conveyed the instructions last time, I went to the garrison with Commander Chen in person and coordinated with Corps Commander Mou to strip Yang Wenquan of his military power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is currently detained at the garrison compound, awaiting your arrangements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong stood up and answered respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Immediately send a telegram ordering Mou Tingfang to hand over Yang Wenquan; he is to be escorted directly to Jingling later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Li nodded and issued the order directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Director.\" Wu Jingzhong accepted the order, his heart sinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, Dai Li stood up and left immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Department Chief Gong instructed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Dai will conduct routine questioning; everyone prepare yourselves, I will call your names one by one shortly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong could no longer hold it together, cold sweat pouring down his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not expected Dai Li to conduct individual questioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that he had been too greedy and caught the eye of this old fox?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Hansan in Beiping had just been dealt with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ma Hansan had a deep background, and Boss Dai hadn't been able to fully digest him, so he was likely harboring resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was very likely to be used as a punching bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What confidant, what \"one of our own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Boss Dai's eyes, weren't they all just leeks to be harvested at any time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Zecheng and Zhiyou remained steady, others couldn't say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a concubine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Zhiyou had taken over Mu Liancheng's niece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had gone according to his original idea, it would have become encouraging a subordinate to take a concubine, adding a crime to his record.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phew... he had managed to escape a disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were superficial achievements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had to plug that foul mouth of Ma Kui's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly called Yu Zecheng and Hong Zhiyou over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my, you two finally came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both of you, you know what Boss Dai is going to ask, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ma Hansan wasn't fully interrogated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Boss is holding back anger and has come to Jinhai to flex his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yang Wenquan and I might just be the scapegoats.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside, Wu Jingzhong closed the door and whispered urgently to his two favorite subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, please rest assured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be loyal to the Party and State, one must first be loyal to one's superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The student knows what to say that will be beneficial to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Zecheng said with a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, I, Rui-Rui, you, and Director Yu are all one family,\" Hong Zhiyou said concisely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, good brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good son-in-law!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It all depends on you two now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong patted their hands hard, so nervous he couldn't even smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, that Ma Kui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhiyou, you must find a way to seal his mouth,\" Wu Jingzhong added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, he won't be able to see Director Dai,\" Hong Zhiyou said with a smile, guaranteeing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And then there's the matter of Yang Wenquan...\" Wu Jingzhong was so flustered he had lost his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, you are our anchor; you must stay steady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Zecheng picked up the tea and handed it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong took two sips to steady his nerves and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I must stay steady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhiyou, you handle Ma Kui.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zecheng, how is that person at the hospital?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just called Director Ding to ask; the person is already dead and is being taken to the funeral home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are likely cremating him right about now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Zecheng replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, then I can rest easy,\" Wu Jingzhong nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two returned to the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou straightened his clothes and drank tea to steady himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Dai Li directly would be high pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His task was heavier than Old Yu's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to block Dai Li from seeing Ma Kui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he still had to protect Yang Wenquan; these were both bitter chores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a single word was said wrong, it would cost him his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secretary Hong, Director Dai wants to see you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A guard delivered the message outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou walked toward the conference room, and Yu Zecheng walked toward him from the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes met, and they understood each other perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Yu should have cleared his hurdle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving at the conference room, Dai Li was looking through his files.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are from Jiangzhe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sino-American Class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wu Jingzhong is not your faction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Li looked up and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Hong Zhiyou replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiangzhe people are good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Loyal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hu Die likes you very much; she says you are very clever and a Jinmen expert.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me, how much has Wu Jingzhong embezzled by using the anti-traitor campaign?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Li asked coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to the Director, he has embezzled quite a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the Liuwei Road grain market, he took five gold bars, a bracelet, and a porcelain bowl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He accepted a winery in Yuezhou from Mu Liancheng, worth eight thousand US dollars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And when a Mobile Corps Commander Tian pleaded for his son, he accepted ten thousand US dollars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These were all favors done through connections.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou answered loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that all?\" Dai Li asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to the Director, that is all I know,\" Hong Zhiyou said righteously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Li chuckled: \"Jingzhong is still a kind-hearted man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he knew that no official was not corrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also held some evidence of Wu Jingzhong's corruption in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Wu Jingzhong embezzled was definitely not just the small amount the secretary mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to Ma Hansan, it was merely a drop in the bucket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the generals, he was considered the lowest tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, he had not yet provoked public outrage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You may leave,\" Dai Li waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Dai, there is one more matter I wish to report to you,\" Hong Zhiyou took a secret breath and said, emboldening himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What matter?\" Dai Li frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jinmen has recently been suffering from cholera, or some say it is leprosy; currently, the various departments in the city are not paying much attention to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I specifically report this to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou was afraid of making a mistake and did not dare to say too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cholera?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Li's expression changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an infectious disease that could kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how high the official rank or how much money one had, one could not afford to provoke it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know now, you may go down first,\" Dai Li urged subconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou left quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Li hurriedly stood up, walked a few steps to open the window, stood in a ventilated position, and shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chief Gong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who else is left to see?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu Qiaoshan from the Intelligence Division, and Ma Kui from the Action Team,\" Chief Gong said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cancel them immediately,\" Dai Li said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ma Kui used to be Director Mao's guard; he said he has urgent intelligence and wants to report to you,\" Chief Gong added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Urgent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just now when I met him, I saw this person acting suspiciously, his eyes were not right; we must be on guard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who knows if Mao Renfeng is already impatient to sit in my seat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Li sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was famously suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was precisely because of his suspicion that he had survived countless crises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, should we control Ma Kui?\" Chief Gong asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Better to avoid extra trouble,\" Dai Li said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jinmen is suffering from cholera.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cancel all miscellaneous people, and have Wu Jingzhong come over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember to tell him to wear a mask and perform disinfection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused and gave further instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chief Gong took the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You also wear a mask,\" a cold voice came from behind Dai Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intelligence Division office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiaoshan had just hung up the phone with Zheng Jiemin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Officer Zheng naturally held Dai Li in contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shizhen and the three Chens were all currently targeting Dai Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Qiaoshan could not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that Zheng Jiemin's threshold was high, and one could not hang oneself from a single tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he had to strive for a good impression from Dai Li as much as possible to make things convenient for his future bid for the position of Deputy Station Chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is this tie?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to fiddle with it in front of the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The red one is better, it's more festive,\" a subordinate suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was right in the middle of changing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chief Gong's call came through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanging up the phone, Lu Qiao loosened his tie and threw it onto his desk:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Celebrate my ass, the meeting is canceled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Boss Dai someone just anyone can see whenever they want?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Missing this meeting, I'm afraid I'll never have another chance in this lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"God is blind, He's going against me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having lost a golden opportunity, he stood with his hands on his hips, looking up to the sky and saying bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Operations Team office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Kui was practicing hard in front of the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ensuring his tone, expression, and movements could reach the ultimate perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Operations Team's Ma Kui, seeking an audience with the respect... respected Director Dai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While practicing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart was surging with hot blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could see the Boss Dai he worshipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even more so because he could face the boss directly and expose the hypocritical side of Yu Zecheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when he left the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Chong had already woken up and could open his mouth to make sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Ma Kui did not need him to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Wen Chong could point his finger and blink his eyes at Yu Zecheng in front of Boss Dai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would be able to drag Yu Zecheng out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was practicing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Section Chief Gong walked in personally wearing a mask:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Team Leader Ma, the meeting is canceled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, Section Chief Gong, we are old acquaintances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Believe me, I really have extremely important intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please do me a favor and let me see the Director.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Ma Kui's eyes turned red with anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Team Leader Ma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should practice your words and behavior properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sneaky and ill-intentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the Director's assessment of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Section Chief Gong glared at him, sneered, and went to the Station Chief's office on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Kui was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He prided himself on being upright and awe-inspiring, so how did he become sneaky and ill-intentioned?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that his display of loyalty was not enough?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Director Dai!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you senile and blinded by ghosts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven is helping Yu and not me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Kui was so angry he nearly vomited blood; he violently took off his suit, which was a size too big, and threw it hard onto the ground, while tears of resentment and frustration could not stop flowing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong took a deep breath, adjusted his mask, and walked slowly into the conference room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment Section Chief Gong asked him to wear a mask and spray disinfectant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a \"father-son duo,\" Wu Jingzhong understood instantly that Hong Zhiyou had already set the hook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hook that Dai Li had no choice but to bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Li was suspicious and cautious by nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With money, women, and power all in his possession, such a big shot standing at the peak would never risk his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This move of Zhiyou's... cholera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly too high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This could be seen from Ma Kui's suit thrown on the ground and Qiaoshan's messy tie when passing by the Operations Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Dai had already canceled the meeting with Ma Kui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That foul mouth had been completely blocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he could get past the corruption issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The matter of Yang Wenquan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would be able to make his move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dear big bosses, today's two updates totaling ten thousand words are finished (my speed is a pathetic 1,400 words per hour).
