Chapter 151: Taking Over the Sky Net Plan

In the original drama, Li Ya and Lu Qiaoshan fought until they were inseparable, but the reason was not clearly explained.

It only said Lu Qiaoshan couldn't stand Li Ya's arrogant face.

Thinking about it now.

The grudge between these two probably started from the first day they arrived at the station.

Hong Zhiyou rubbed his nose.

A train of thought quickly formed in his mind.

Li Ya was a person sent by Jianfeng.

With this background, it was not easy for the Station Master to take action openly or secretly, and getting rid of him was even more impossible.

Moreover, if this person died in Jinhai, there would definitely be endless trouble.

With Jianfeng's character of not tolerating sand in his eyes, he might turn hostile and draw his sword.

Therefore, letting Lu Qiaoshan give Li Ya a hard time.

Distracting his attention and dragging his feet was a good choice.

Li Ya carried two roast ducks to Lu Qiaoshan's office.

As the Intelligence Section Chief, Lu Qiaoshan had received news that morning that Li Ya was coming to replace Ma Kui's position.

In order to have a good relationship, he changed into his favorite red tie early in the morning.

Waiting to eat together at noon.

Who knew the Station Master was holding a "family banquet," and it had nothing to do with him at all.

What was even more annoying was that he had only been in charge of the action team for a few days.

He was just taking advantage of the anti-corruption drive to grab people and make extra money.

A Buddha niche suddenly appeared; wasn't this cutting off his own financial path?

"Brother Shan, any good intelligence lately?"

In the office, Sheng Xiang, with a face full of acne pits and greasy skin, asked with a fawning smile.

"There is very little top-secret intelligence on Red Tickets passing through Jinhai lately."

"Some common goods, we know, others know too, and they can't be sold for a good price."

"And it carries risks; it's not worth it," Lu Qiaoshan shook his head and said.

"Then is there any news about the release of US dollar bonds?"

"This is more valuable; now the rich people in the market are scrambling to buy US bonds."

"Those people in the Sales Committee release fake news every day, and each one is earning a fortune."

"Brother Shan, if you know the inside story, take one out."

"At least two yellow fish... big ones," Sheng Xiang whispered.

"Hong Zhiyou is very familiar with the wife of Section Chief Zhang of the Sales Committee."

"He is also on good terms with the Americans."

"He might know some inside information," Lu Qiaoshan pondered for a moment and said.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news, Section Chief Lu."

"Be quick."

"This kind of news must catch the wind; once the news is released, it won't be worth anything," Sheng Xiang reminded.

"Be careful lately; a new captain named Li Ya has been transferred to the action team."

"This person is an old man from the Qingpu Special Training Class."

"He has received the true teachings of Goshawk Liu Xiong and is also a chess piece planted by Jianfeng."

"His means and background are very strong."

"Once he catches your handle, don't say me, even the Station Master and your ancestors won't be able to protect you."

"Do you understand?"

Lu Qiaoshan lowered his voice and warned.

"Understood."

"Section Chief Lu, rest assured; even if I am caught, I wouldn't dare sell you out."

"Besides, now the Party-Affairs Bureau, the Municipal Government, and the Inspection Team, who isn't selling intelligence?"

"If you don't earn this money, won't others just grab it?" Sheng Xiang chuckled with a merchant's air.

As the two were talking, the door rang.

"Come in," Lu Qiaoshan shouted.

Li Ya walked in with one hand in his pocket and the other carrying the gift, smiling all over his face:

"Is this Section Chief Lu?"

"I am Li Ya, the new captain of the action team."

"Yo, it's Captain Li."

Lu Qiaoshan gave Sheng Xiang a look, signaling him to leave first.

"Captain Li, I am Sheng Xiang, the Section Chief of the Archives Section."

"Please take care of me in the future," Sheng Xiang nodded and bowed to say hello.

"Easy to say," Li Ya nodded with a smile.

After Sheng Xiang left, Li Ya stood straight and greeted with a smile:

"Section Chief Lu, I am a newcomer; please give me guidance in the future."

"Guidance is not needed; let's help each other."

"Brother, you entered Yancheng alone; your courage is commendable, a model for our generation," Lu Qiaoshan laughed, but did not reach out.

Regardless of age or qualifications, he was older than Li Ya.

And it was in his own office.

Li Ya, a newcomer, had to pay respects to the mountain first and reach out first, no matter what.

As a Yuedong person, he paid attention to these rules of conduct.

"Not at all."

"You are an old man from the Nanchang Investigation Section days, a senior brother of high prestige," Li Ya was polite in words, but he held the things in one hand and kept the other in his pocket, still showing no intention of reaching out.

A flash of displeasure crossed Lu Qiaoshan's eyes, and he took the initiative to reach out and ask with a smile:

"I heard Jianfeng treated you to a meal?"

"Just a casual meal," Li Ya then took his hand out of his pocket and shook it briefly.

"This hand has shaken Jianfeng's, right?" Lu Qiaoshan asked with a smile.

"Yes," Li Ya nodded arrogantly.

"Precious; then I must shake it for a while longer," Lu Qiaoshan smiled on the surface, but expressed dissatisfaction in secret.

"Not at all, just shook hands and had a meal."

Li Ya smiled, his gaze falling on the coffee machine.

"Tsk."

"That's incredible."

"In our station, the only ones who can eat a meal with a big leader are Yu Zecheng and you."

"Brother, you didn't see this in Yancheng, right?"

"Coffee machine, British goods."

"Want a cup?"

Lu Qiaoshan followed his gaze, introduced it with the intention of showing off, and made a gesture to pour him a cup.

"No need."

"I ate too much yellow earth in Yancheng; seeing this dark stuff makes me feel nauseous," Li Ya said with a faint smile.

He wasn't deliberately trying to disgust Lu Qiaoshan; it was purely an unintentional remark.

A flash of coldness crossed Lu Qiaoshan's eyes, and he pointed at him and laughed:

"Yes, yes."

"Brother, you've drunk Jianfeng's tea; how could you look at these foreign gadgets of mine?"

"Sit down, anything up?"

Li Ya sat down, crossed his legs, and said: "There are two things I want to ask Section Chief Lu to make convenient."

"First, help arrange a house."

"Second, please advance three months' salary."

"Third, arrange a better car."

"You know, as a newcomer, everything is inconvenient; it all depends on your arrangements."

Seeing his tone was superior and his leather shoes were higher than his own, Lu Qiaoshan felt even more unhappy.

Was there a damn way to ask for help like this?

This was clearly coming to give orders.

"Captain Li, you have to find Secretary Hong of the General Affairs Section for this matter."

"You are a newcomer and don't know yet."

"Secretary Hong is the big housekeeper of our Jinhai Station; just find him for everything," Lu Qiaoshan chuckled and kicked the ball.

"I found him."

"He said the seal is with you, and what he says doesn't count," Li Ya said.

"Let's do this."

"The rules for finance and logistics at the Jinhai Station have always been very strict."

"To get a house or car, you must first get Secretary Hong's signature, then find the Dispatch Section Chief to sign."

"Once all signatures are done, I will stamp it for you," Lu Qiaoshan said.

"So troublesome?" Li Ya frowned.

"No way, official business is official business; without the procedure, I can't answer to the Station Master," Lu Qiaoshan said.

"Fine then."

Li Ya stood up and pointed to the roast duck on the table:

"Section Chief Lu, a small gift, no disrespect intended."

"Thanks."

He stood up and walked out.

Lu Qiaoshan opened the plastic bag and smelled the roast duck; it had already gone bad:

"Pah!"

"What kind of thing is this? Do I care about your roast duck?"

Li Ya came to the Station Master's office.

Wu Jingzhong was leaning on the sofa resting.

"Station Master, why is it so hard to get a house and a car?"

"Secretary Hong pushes to Lu Qiaoshan."

"Lu Qiaoshan pushes to Secretary Hong."

"Are they deliberately finding trouble for me?"

Li Ya put his hands in his pockets, his tone very dissatisfied.

"Li Ya, you can't blame them."

"It's not like before, where you could just say hello for everything."

"After funding and staffing were cut, headquarters' audit of each station's accounts is very strict."

"What was approved, when it was approved, must be accurate to the minute."

"Go find Secretary Hong to go through the procedure, and say I said so, and add an urgent request," Wu Jingzhong was very happy to set rules for Li Ya.

"Fine then."

"I hope these guys are as law-abiding in their actions as they are in their words."

Li Ya curled his lips and turned to walk out.

Arriving at Hong Zhiyou's office.

"Captain Li, anything up?" Hong Zhiyou asked with a smile.

"Yes."

"Section Chief Lu said you have to sign," Li Ya didn't talk nonsense, sat down, and said.

"Captain Li."

"I have already picked out a house for you; it's the western-style house Captain Ma used to live in, with all facilities complete; you can move in with your bags."

"As for the car, there are three spare ones parked downstairs; pick whichever one you like."

While speaking, Hong Zhiyou also opened a slip for salary advance.

"Brother, aren't you quite efficient?" Li Ya said somewhat unhappily.

"Captain Li, do you have a grudge with Section Chief Lu?"

"Don't say you're a lieutenant colonel; even a junior officer wouldn't have this little matter pushed to me."

"The Station Master is upright."

"But we below are still very..."

Hong Zhiyou winked at him, with an expression of 'you understand'.

"Understood!"

"Thanks for the guidance, brother."

"I know the Jinhai Station is missing a deputy station master."

"The root is right here."

Li Ya's mouth curled into a cold smile, and he nodded knowingly.

"You are Jianfeng's person."

"Section Chief Lu is Zheng Jiemin's person."

"And both are lieutenant colonels; it's normal to have some competition; Captain Li, don't take it to heart," Hong Zhiyou reminded, but actually fanned the flames.

Wasn't internal fighting in the office just like this?

If these two weren't locked in a cage to bite each other, they would jump out to bite him and old Yu.

Hong Zhiyou believed that the Station Master sending Li Ya here meant the same thing.

"It doesn't matter who is the deputy station master."

"But I am not easy to bully either."

"Thanks, brother."

Li Ya sneered and walked away with his hands in his pockets.

Hong Zhiyou couldn't help but shake his head.

Fortunately, he was only a major and had no conflict of interest with Lu Qiaoshan or Li Ya; otherwise, with these two fuel-efficient lamps, he didn't know how they would bite each other.

Just as he sat down, Yu Zecheng brought someone back.

"Wu Taixun and Zhu Jiu were grabbed?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"Hmm."

"Already reported to the Station Master."

"His meaning is to lock them up for two days first; these playboys and young ladies should talk after being scared."

"Wait for it; I think Mayor Zhang will find his way to the office in a moment," Yu Zecheng laughed.

"Correct, Zhu Qiling still has that much face," Hong Zhiyou nodded and said.

"Just passed by the Security Section, I saw Li Ya looking for Section Chief Xiao for Liu Xiong's materials."

"This Li Ya is a real doer."

"It's very troublesome."

"I always feel he is aiming at me," Yu Zecheng said worriedly.

"This is certain."

"Didn't you hear the Station Master? Jianfeng is a person who loves to be serious."

"Pushing everything onto Ma Kui casually; now Ma Kui just died, and Li Ya arrived immediately."

"What does this explain? Jianfeng must have mastered some intelligence."

"Or is very dissatisfied with the previous intelligence leaks."

"The war is about to start; he must stabilize his hand; this is understandable."

"And it can be seen that the Station Master has felt the will and pressure from above; many things will definitely not be as easy to talk about as before."

"He might even cooperate with and reuse Li Ya."

"You'd better be careful," Hong Zhiyou reminded him in a low voice.

"Hmm, I will be careful," Yu Zecheng nodded.

"By the way, has Whether Zuo Lan left?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"Not yet."

"Originally, she was going to Beiping last night; but Ma Kui died, and she has to collect the body for Mount Emei."

"Tonight, I guess," Yu Zecheng said.

"Are you sure you won't meet again?" Hong Zhiyou blinked and laughed.

"Can you be serious?"

"Meeting at this time will only harm her; let's talk about it later," Yu Zecheng said with a little disappointment.

As they were talking.

Hong Zhiyou stood up and walked to the window to look down.

Yu Zecheng also leaned over: "Captain Li is picking a car; I can't tell, he's quite particular."

"Maybe I have to find some business for Captain Li," Hong Zhiyou rubbed his chin and said.

"What business?" Yu Zecheng asked.

"Anything, as long as it can make money," Hong Zhiyou said.

"No way, would a person like Li Ya love money?" Yu Zecheng didn't believe it.

"This person is very ghostly."

"He has the ability to do things, and he probably understands the set of taking, carding, and demanding."

"Doing some business, maybe I can hold him in the future," Hong Zhiyou said.

Li Ya was very poor.

At least his pockets were very clean right now.

But for a person who eats steamed buns and pickles every day, arriving in a world of flowers, to say he has no desire for money is impossible.

Li Ya was not an ascetic monk.

Judging from the original drama, handmade suits, leather shoes, neat Zhongshan suits, and hair gel were all complete, showing that this person was particular.

Moreover, he could take out a lot of US dollars several times to buy intelligence from Xie Ruolin.

Where did so much money come from?

It must have been obtained while doing things, or he had some other business.

As long as there is desire, there is a way.

As long as there is desire, his life gate can be held.

Li Ya finished looking at the car and returned to the Station Master's office full of resentment.

"What's wrong again?" Wu Jingzhong asked.

"Nothing, just feel Section Chief Lu seems to have an opinion about me," Li Ya said.

"Personnel is politics."

"You are both lieutenant colonels; it's normal to have some views."

"The Intelligence Section is the eyes of the action team; be a little more polite when you speak in the future," Wu Jingzhong knew his student a little.

"I've already been very polite," Li Ya said.

"Don't talk about this."

"Anything up?" Wu Jingzhong asked.

"Before I came, Jianfeng expressed serious concern about the internal threat of leaks at the Jinhai Station."

"Especially Yu Zecheng."

"Jianfeng obtained some secret intelligence; after this person was shot, he once disappeared for three months."

"The Jingling Political Security General Administration once tracked a businessman surnamed Dong based on clues from the Shaanxi Guild Hall and discovered that this person was a high-level leader of the Jingling Red Ticket underground organization."

"The one surnamed Dong once went to Yangjia Village."

"According to the oral account of the people in Yangjia Village, outsiders came to an abandoned small courtyard north of Yangjia Village."

"That small courtyard originally belonged to a man named Yang Erniu."

"Yang Erniu's parents died early."

"The year the Japanese devils left, Yang Erniu was dragged away as a strong laborer and never came back."

"This house has been vacant ever since."

"Later, Wan Lilang took photos for comparison and confirmed it was the one surnamed Dong, the owner of the Shaanxi Guild Hall, and Yu Zecheng," Li Ya said.

"Since there is such sufficient evidence, why not grab the person?" Wu Jingzhong asked back.

"The problem is, Wan Lilang, who was responsible for the action, is dead."

"That village had an epidemic; basically, the whole village died or fled, and there were no witnesses."

"Qin Shuangcheng also knew nothing about this matter."

"These materials have no witnesses to confirm."

"Jianfeng holds a positive attitude toward Yu Zecheng shooting Li Haifeng."

"Therefore, in the absence of sufficient evidence, the resolution to track Yu Zecheng was shelved."

"This time I was ordered to come to Jinhai."

"Besides assisting you, Station Master, in clearing out Red Tickets, cleaning out internal ghosts is also a top priority."

"I am not targeting Yu Zecheng."

"I even question the authenticity of those materials from the Political Security General Administration."

"But necessary screening is still needed," Li Ya was not a reckless person; he still paid attention to proportion when speaking without clear evidence.

"I still trust Yu Zecheng," Wu Jingzhong said.

"You two are both my students; I like you to be united."

"Don't follow in Ma Kui's footsteps."

He frowned and reminded.

"My Station Master, trust must have a limit."

"This is my mission."

"If Yu Zecheng is truly clean, I can check him, right?"

"Internal supervision, this is the old tradition of Military Statistics," Li Ya was very firm on this point.

"Hmm."

"First, let's agree: it is limited to the suspicion of Red Tickets."

"People in the station have eaten very thoroughly in Jinhai; they are familiar with the garrison, gangs, and beggars of all walks of life; if you manage everything, you will cause trouble, do you know?"

"When trouble happens, don't blame me for not reminding you," Wu Jingzhong said solemnly with a straight face.

"Hmm, I understand the rules."

"In this day and age, who doesn't have some partial wealth and external wealth."

"Rest assured, I definitely won't check things unrelated to Red Tickets," Li Ya looked at him and nodded with a smile.

That cold and arrogant little look made Wu Jingzhong feel a bit stinging; he endured his patience and asked:

"How do you want to check?"

"Originally, I wanted to use Ma Kui's wife to make an article, lure that Whether Zuo Lan to take the bait, and use the sabotage of the Military Mediation to observe Yu's reaction."

"Now Ma's wife is gone."

"The Military Mediation Office has also withdrawn; this step can be considered wasted."

"However, I have checked the top-secret files at headquarters."

"When Director Dai was there, you once had a Sky Net plan, lobbying a key member of the Jinhai Regional Committee."

"I don't know how it has developed?" Li Ya asked.

"To tell you the truth, after Ma Kui died, this plan has been shelved for the time being," Wu Jingzhong said.

He had collected several big ones in a row recently.

He couldn't even appraise the antiques; where would he have time to manage any Red Tickets?

The Jinhai Regional Committee had long been riddled with holes.

He guessed he couldn't bite out any dry goods; Boss Dai had already gone west, so he was too lazy to worry about this idle matter.

"Station Master."

"This is the number one of the Jinhai Regional Committee; now the underground in Pingjin is a pool of muddy water; if you don't touch it, how do you know if there are shrimp or big fish underneath?" Li Ya raised his eyebrows and said sideways.

"Since you want to manage it, then go manage it," Wu Jingzhong knew he couldn't let this guy be idle; otherwise, sooner or later, he would suspect him.

"Hmm, but I have two conditions."

"First, this action is fully responsible by me; from now on, Lu Qiaoshan must not touch it again."

"Second, I have to wash the action team."

"All those people who followed Ma Kui and Lu Qiaoshan before must be changed."

"All replaced by newcomers from this year's training class."

"Isn't the station just about to cut a batch of people? Just start from the action team; it can be considered sharing your worries," Li Ya said.

"You can't cut them all; half and half."

"Many have settled down locally, with old and young."

"If you cut off people's livelihood, if they can't live, they will play with your life," Wu Jingzhong was worried that this guy would wash away his own people too.

"Fine, then half and half."

"For Section Chief Lu, I'll trouble you to say hello," Li Ya finished speaking and turned to walk out.

Arriving at the action team, Li Ya did it as soon as he said it; after a simple meeting, he directly circled the list.

Except for the section-level personnel like Mi Zhiguo, Qi Qi Da Fu, and Song Fei, the others like Wen Shiming were all swept out by Li Ya.

Even people sent by Mao Renfeng like Sun Xing were not spared.

That night.

Li Ya personally picked the generals.

He recruited a large batch of new members, and after investigation, left one-third of the elite.

The action team was officially reorganized.

Of course, there were still many people planted by the Station Master among them.

For example, old qualifications like Qi Qi Da Fu.

But Lu Qiaoshan's people were washed clean.

Jinhai.

Zhou Yunyi looked around vigilantly and hurried into the small house in the alley.

A man with a wrinkled face, looking like an old farmer, was sitting by the bed smoking an opium pipe:

"Old Liu, any goods left?"

"Xiao Tao's illness has flared up again; she urgently needs opium to stop the pain."

Old Liu frowned and said: "If it really doesn't work, send her to the hospital."

"Ma Kui once looked for me before; I have been acting with him, and I have to reduce the supply to Xiao Tao."

"But going on like this is not a solution."

"Xiao Tao is more miserable alive than dead."

"I know, I asked the hospital; sleeping pills don't work for this kind of injury."

"Now, let her live one more day if she can," Zhou Yunyi frowned and sighed.

"Your situation is very dangerous; they are using Xiao Tao to threaten you."

"Old Zhou, if it really doesn't work, find a chance to take Xiao Tao and leave."

"The underground organization in Jinhai can no longer afford losses," Old Liu said worriedly.

"Leaving is impossible."

"I have other arrangements for this matter," Zhou Yunyi didn't continue, and Old Liu didn't ask more; there was discipline, don't ask what you shouldn't.

He took the opium for pain relief.

Just returned home.

He saw a man with hair combed meticulously, wearing a gray Zhongshan suit, sitting at the table.

Beside him were several guards wearing round hats.

With this outfit, it was clear he was from the Confidentiality Bureau.

"Mr. Zhou, hello, I am Li Ya, the new captain of the Confidentiality Bureau's action team," Li Ya stood up and smiled arrogantly.

"Changed people?" Zhou Yunyi asked with no expression.

"Yes."

"Let's talk."

"I know Old Liu's opium can only relieve your lover's temporary suffering."

"I know a surgical expert in Xiangdao."

"Perhaps he can treat your wife, at least he can let her avoid pain," Li Ya knew what he cared about most and went straight to the point.

"State your conditions," Zhou Yunyi said.

"I know you have a separate radio call method."

"The corresponding code is 'Dream Butterfly'."

Li Ya hadn't finished speaking, and Zhou Yunyi's face changed drastically.

Radio call was the ballast of the organization, so that when the local organization was destroyed, it could receive instructions from above at the first time.

The codebook was indeed "Dream Butterfly".

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 152 =====

"But going on like this is ultimately not a solution.

"It's more painful for Xiao Tao to be alive than dead."

"I know. I've asked the hospital; sleeping pills have no effect on this kind of injury.

"For now, let's just let her live one more day for every day we can."

Zhou Yunyi frowned and sighed.

"Your situation is very dangerous; they are using Xiao Tao to threaten you.

"Old Zhou, if it really comes to it, find an opportunity to take Xiao Tao and leave.

"The underground organization in Jinhai can no longer afford any more losses."

Old Liu said, filled with worry.

"Leaving is impossible now.

"I have other arrangements for this matter."

Zhou Yunyi didn't continue, and Old Liu didn't ask further; there was discipline, and one shouldn't ask what they shouldn't.

He picked up the opium for pain relief.

Just as he returned home.

He saw a man with meticulously combed hair, wearing a grey Zhongshan suit, sitting at the table.

Beside him were several guards wearing round hats.

Just by this getup, one could see at a glance that they were from the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou. My name is Li Ya, the new captain of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics' action team." Li Ya stood up and smiled arrogantly.

"Changed personnel?" Zhou Yunyi asked without expression.

"That's right.

"Let's have a talk.

"I know Old Liu's opium can only relieve your wife's suffering for a moment.

"I know a surgical expert in Xiangdao.

"Perhaps they can treat your wife, or at least spare her from the pain."

Li Ya knew what he cared about most and got straight to the point.

"State your conditions." Zhou Yunyi said.

"I know you have a separate radio call method.

"The corresponding code is 'Dream Butterfly'."

Before Li Ya finished speaking, Zhou Yunyi's expression changed drastically.

Radio receiver calls were the organization's ballast, ensuring that if the local organization was destroyed, they could receive instructions from above at the first opportunity.

The codebook was indeed "Dream Butterfly".
