defected?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn't that gritting one's teeth, holding on until death, willing to sacrifice everything, and daring to drag the King of Hell off his horse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I never expected that such a disloyal and unprincipled running dog of the Wang puppet regime would dare to stand on the moral high ground and clamor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is truly enough to make one's lungs explode with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the station master's order, Lao Wu and the others immediately pounced viciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With pliers and a scraper, in two or three strokes, they sliced open both corners of Ma Kui's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fresh blood flowed down along his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the interrogation room was filled with a thick, sweet, and fishy smell of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't want to be decent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll help you be decent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't confess, tear his crotch apart, you ignorant dog!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong pointed at Ma Kui and asserted his authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I confess!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was indeed

a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take him away,\" he ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, someone escorted Qin Shuangcheng out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ma Kui, now let's talk about the Emei

crimes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said with a smiling, persuasive tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu Qiaoshan, don't you go pinning false charges on me, I am not Emei Peak!\" Ma Kui shouted incoherently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The snow mountain is cold through the ages, shining alone on Emei Peak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The letter, the leak, all the evidence is laid out before your eyes, and you still won't admit it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiaoshan took out a scroll and slowly unfolded it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Station Master, this, this is the poem of the Chairman.\" Ma Kui shouted, feeling wronged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Chairman's poem hung on the wall by a three-surname slave like you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the greatest shame to the Party and the State!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong gave a cold laugh, turned his head, and ordered Lu Qiaoshan:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiaoshan, don't waste your breath on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have him sign and press his print directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he stood up and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou and Yu Zecheng followed closely behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the station master's office, Wu Jingzhong unbuttoned his collar and said with some fatigue:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, I'm a bit tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's all caused by this Ma Kui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhiyou, let's have Jinhai cuisine today; the 'Old Explosive Three' at Tongfahao last time was not

on this point alone, our Jinhai Station can pass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong said with a face full of smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Jianfeng's temper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He likes to be thorough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don't produce some solid goods to appease him, there will be trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he had even considered launching an investigation into Yu Zecheng to sacrifice the rook to save the king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now everything is resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, the meal is already booked,\" Hong Zhiyou said happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let's go now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong said in high spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, how should Ma Kui's crime be determined?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once in the car, Yu Zecheng and Wu Jingzhong sat in the back seat, and he asked in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ma Kui's charge must be 'General Ticket'!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The matter of being a traitor is just to stop the mouths of Mao Renfeng and Jianfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the past, people like Chen Gongshu were also traitors, but in the end, after the restoration, weren't they still used and given official posts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The water here is too deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only 'General Ticket' must be severely punished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Especially since it involves Boss Dai's secret mission and the exposure of the Buddha Niche.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, according to the intelligence from Song Fei and Sun Xing, Ma Kui has been investigating you and the matter of Mu Liancheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And he and Li Ping had already obtained some evidence before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Zecheng reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With Ma Kui's mouth, who knows what he might

headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the private room, the three ate, and Wu Jingzhong said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've inquired, Wu Taixun still has quite a few old treasures in his

two-thirty in the afternoon, the three of them returned to the station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Station Chief, Ma Kui has confessed.\" Lu Qiaoshan brought over a stack of documents stamped with

numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Station Chief, then, then how about...\" He made a throat-slitting gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With matters having developed to this point, there was no turning back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could only go through with it to the end, walking down this path until it turned black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll just say that while he was being escorted, he was intercepted by the Red Tickets, a firefight broke out, and he died in the crossfire,\" Lu Qiaoshan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems you had this planned long ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for your business, you can handle it as you see fit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Station Chief, that may be so, but please do clear the air with Bureau Chief Mao first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In case he insists on having Ma Kui.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we can't come up with a valid excuse, we'll be in trouble if he decides to make things difficult for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiaoshan was no pushover either; with a few turns of phrase, he shifted the burden back onto Wu Jingzhong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong turned around with his hands behind his back and stared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiaoshan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I shall ask for Bureau Chief Mao's opinion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong smiled, walked over to the telephone, and dialed Mao Renfeng's private line:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bureau Chief Mao, this is Jingzhong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is like this, we have discovered that Ma Kui...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, the evidence is conclusive; he was caught on the spot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a moment ago, we intercepted a telegram from the Red Tickets; someone called Pebble is currently organizing a rescue operation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bureau Chief Mao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have misunderstood Jingzhong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are all soldiers under your leadership, how could I possibly target him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is one more thing: Ma Kui was once arrested by the Political Security Bureau and betrayed the Juntong Bureau; Qin Shuangcheng of the Political Security Bureau can testify to this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qin Shuangcheng is right here at the station; he came all the way from Jingling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ma Kui insists that it was you who rescued him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes, it is complete nonsense; I don't believe it at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My point is, since he has betrayed us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the Red Tickets want to rescue him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let them come; bullets have no eyes, and if he meets the King of Hell, he will have no one to blame.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, very well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodbye, Bureau Chief Mao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong finished speaking and hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bureau Chief Mao has agreed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He will have died in a firefight while being rescued by the Red Tickets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiaoshan, go and make the arrangements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember, use only people you can trust.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong turned his head and instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have already selected the men,\" Lu Qiaoshan said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Add one more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhou Yafu from the accounting office, and Fang Xiaomin from the security section,\" Wu Jingzhong thought for a moment and instructed shrewdly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But they are Ma Kui's confidants,\" Lu Qiaoshan said, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there's a firefight with the Red Tickets and not a single person dies, that would be too suspicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since we are putting on a play, let's make it look real.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are as thorough as ever, Station Chief!\" Lu Qiaoshan nodded in understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, how should we handle Ma Kui's wife?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Hong Zhiyou and asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave her be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If she wants to go eat dirt with the Red Tickets, that's fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If she wants to return to her maiden home in Shanghu, she can go to Shanghu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Returning to Ma Kui's hometown of Hankou is also fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In a word, do not let me see this foolish woman in Jinhai again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong looked coldly at Hong Zhiyou and instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secretary Hong, I have many things to attend to; you handle the arrangements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiaoshan winked at Hong Zhiyou and walked out quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, I will handle it well,\" Hong Zhiyou nodded and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zecheng, you go to Wu Taixun's house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secretary Hong, you go and deal with Mrs. Ma.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong glanced at his watch and instructed sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three o'clock in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Gendi and Wanqiu were in the courtyard, sunbathing and drinking coffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, what are your plans for the future?\" Wanqiu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no plans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have been to school, but I am not as capable as you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for doing business, I have no capital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secretary Hong said I should stay here and serve you, and we will make arrangements later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Gendi's pretty face flushed slightly, her eyes filled with endless happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was not easy for you to get away from Ma Kui, sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is time you lived a good life for a few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanqiu's eyes revealed a faint trace of sadness and sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been dragged into the power struggles of the upper echelons this time, she had nearly lost her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanqiu had come to understand many things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Kui's affair was no small matter; if Wu Jingzhong could not even tolerate himself, how could he possibly let Zhou Gendi stay in Jinhai?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her own freedom had been bought by Hong Zhiyou risking his life in a standoff with Dai Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after all, Zhiyou was the father of Rui Rui's child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong could turn a blind eye to her getting money from the women at the club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did Zhou Gendi have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from her beauty, there was only the stench of Ma Kui's filth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I fear Hong Zhiyou doesn't even have a reason to keep her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wouldn't call it a good life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just don't want to be a drifter; I want to be happy every day and be myself for once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Gendi said coquettishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was speaking, Hong Zhiyou's car drove into the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance now operated on two shifts, with elite disciples of the Boatmen's Guild standing guard, each equipped with a pistol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attic on the east side was even set up with a machine-gun post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhiyou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both women exclaimed and stood up at the same time; Zhou Gendi gave an awkward smile and stepped back half a pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanqiu was so understanding that she immediately took her hand and went up to meet him together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhiyou, have you finished handling the matters at the station?\" Wanqiu asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you feeling better today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have been drinking the herbal medicine, right? This is a prescription I entrusted someone to get from Shopkeeper Qiu in Jingling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's specifically for nourishing the body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou pinched her baby-fat cheek and asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have been drinking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After dying once, I feel like I can endure any bitterness.\" Wanqiu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You go outside and soak up some sun; I have a few words to say to your sister-in-law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou turned his head to look at Zhou Gendi, \"Sister-in-law, let's talk inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead.\" Wanqiu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Hong Zhiyou and Zhou Gendi entered the inner room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Gendi threw herself at him, and the two kissed passionately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou scooped her up by the waist and carried her straight to the second floor, where they immediately got down to business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two, who had been suppressing themselves for so long, were finally able to have a hearty romp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Zhou Gendi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long-lost feeling made her sob repeatedly, her face covered in tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou held her in his arms and said tenderly, \"Adi, there is something you need to prepare yourself for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\" Zhou Gendi trembled all over and sat up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have to return to Shanghu.\" Hong Zhiyou said directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Return to Shanghu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why? I finally managed to be with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhiyou, I, I really don't want to be separated from you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Gendi let out a whimper and began to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are different from Wanqiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Station Chief is after his uncle's money, so there is room for maneuver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are carrying the burden of the Ma Kui affair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Staying in Jinhai is not appropriate; eventually, both the Red Party and the Juntong Bureau will come looking for trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If things go wrong, there could even be a threat to your life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adi, people living in this world always have too many things they cannot control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you came to Jinhai, I told you that you must learn to live for yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go back to Shanghu; leave now, the sooner the better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou cupped her face, kissed her several times, and said apologetically with reddened eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I'll go back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Gendi wiped her tears and obediently agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that Hong Zhiyou liked to joke around, but he was never ambiguous about major matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not something that could be solved by throwing a tantrum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, she and Hong Zhiyou did not seem to have that deep of a connection anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Going back is actually quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can entrust someone to arrange for you to be a teacher at the girls' high school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or the library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are also some municipal units; as long as you want to go, I can get it done for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right, if you are interested in acting in movies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Hu Die can take you under her wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I spoke to her on the phone when I arrived; her new script, 'Three Stanzas of Plum Blossoms,' is just about to start filming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can save a role for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Acting in a movie, can I do that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Gendi was quite pleasantly surprised, a light blooming in her eyes that had never been seen before, as if a new door had been opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And it's the kind with actual lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wrote the script, so for the sake of the sequel, they have to hire you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, this script is a classic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once you get to Shanghu, you must study it diligently and ask Hu Die and other seniors for advice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zhiyou instructed patiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm-hmm.\" Zhou Gendi nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Acting in movies, becoming a star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a wonderful, radiant life that would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she felt that life had new hope again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",4059,"2026-06-25T10:22:48.848Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e93f11430db6a03378f357ae5bdb4f3408ba263627fd186671d9a55a0822fdc8","spy-survival-guide-chapter-171","spy-survival-guide-chapter-169",395,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspy-survival-guide-cover.jpg"]
