arrival gave him hope for revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't kill the father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The son shouldn't be a problem, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The venue's security was very tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Qinghe had no way to bring a gun inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to him, whether he had a gun or not was unimportant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chopstick or a knife and fork in his hands could become the sharpest of murder weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many people around Sun Ke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed the dining cart, dealing with guests while slowly moving closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found a good position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as his hand quietly reached for a dinner fork, preparing to strike Sun Ke's throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An axe flew through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It nailed itself right into the dining cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhan Qinghe!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A waiter was seen taking off his hat, another short axe appearing in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden turn of events caused chaos in the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Sun, go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong took the opportunity to block Sun Ke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiaoshan and the other members of the action team formed a human wall, shielding Sun Ke as they retreated quickly toward the passageway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't let him get away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Qinghe grabbed a dinner knife, wanting to pursue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yan flashed in from the side, his short axe dancing in a way that left no gaps, firmly blocking Zhan Qinghe's path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Qinghe was exceptionally skilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he could not do anything to Zhou Yan, and he roared in frustration:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Axe Gang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are Wang Yaqiao's men.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since that is the case, why not join me in killing this evil thief?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am acting on someone's behalf.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, Mr. Wang does not oppose the Three Principles of the People,\" Zhou Yan replied coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Qinghe was filled with hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized his actions had long been guessed by the Jinmen Station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong protected Sun Ke as they arrived at the VIP room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jingzhong, is it safe here?\" Sun Ke asked nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director, rest assured, my men are blocking the entrance, and they all have guns.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He cannot break in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong replied efficiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know the assassin's background?\" Sun Ke asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From the moment you set off from Jingling, he had his eyes on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person is the son of Zhan Tinglu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, Zhan Tinglu was a Royalist; when the New Army attacked Wuchang, he was serving in the Viceroy's office and was beheaded after being captured.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, this person has always harbored hostility toward Mr. Sun and Mr. Huang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He even once engaged in assassination attempts with remnants of the Manchu Qing in Xiangdao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, he came specifically for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong answered respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You had arrangements made early on, why didn't you take him down sooner?\" Sun Ke was quite displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Sun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This man is highly skilled and elusive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he could have been caught, he would have been caught long ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ever since you arrived, Jingzhong has been worried day and night, and in order to confuse the opponent, I did not hesitate to mobilize the entire city's forces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, with this villain eliminated, you can sleep soundly from now on, Director.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingzhong replied with a look of concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was speaking, intense gunfire erupted downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Lu Qiaoshan walked in:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Sun, Station Chief.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The assassin has been shot dead; his identity has been verified as Zhan Qinghe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excellent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such an ignorant fool deserved to die long ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ke clapped in praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jingzhong, you have worked hard; when I return, I will certainly report your merits to the Chairman and Jiang Jianfeng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head, he heaped praise upon Wu Jingzhong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For Jingzhong to serve my superiors, how could I dare call it hard work?\" Wu Jingzhong bowed respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew well that Sun Ke now enjoyed the deep trust and favor of the Chairman and Jiang Jianfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By clinging to this powerful figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have one more person to speak for him in the government later on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you intend to handle this Zhan Qinghe?\" Sun Ke regained his composure, returning to his shrewd and profound self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jing knew his secret agenda, but he could not say it aloud:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Assassinating a high-ranking official of the Party and State is a crime deserving death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wu Jing, you must understand that the Red tickets are rampant in the country now, and internally, there are countless factions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Americans have been pressuring the Generalissimo to implement a democratic constitution, end the period of political tutelage, and establish a presidential cabinet system.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are using this as leverage to halt military aid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right now, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi’s Guangxi Clique are very arrogant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Especially Li Zongren, who is very close to the Americans and the Japanese; Bai Chongxi is fanning the flames with many Party and State elders, and the Generalissimo’s situation is very difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ke hinted at this, hoping Wu Jing could understand the intentions from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am dull-witted, Wu Jing, and request the President’s instruction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jing feigned a low profile and played dumb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the Generalissimo on down, this group of people were all old foxes; once some words were spoken, if something went wrong in the future, one would have to take the fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jing was very slick at playing this game and naturally would not fall into Sun Ke’s trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ke frowned slightly and had no choice but to say it himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suspect, is this Zhan Qinghe someone sent by Li Zongren to assassinate me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jing immediately realized and said: \"That is very possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whenever the Americans mention constitutional government, this group of people is the most excited.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, with your prestige, you should at least be the Vice President.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether for the main position or the vice position, Li Zongren has reasons to be against you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, if we could use this person to stir up some trouble, I think the Generalissimo would be happy to see it.\" Sun Ke nodded and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jing said in a deep voice: \"Please give your instructions, President Sun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since it was instigated by Li Zongren, is there any correspondence or the like?\" Sun Ke asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I reckon not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wouldn't letters leave behind evidence?\" Wu Jing said with a straight face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Foolish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Evidence is exactly what is needed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard there is a calligraphy master in Jinmen who can imitate the styles of a hundred masters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t you put your mind to it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ke pointed at him and asked in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jing felt a massive headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ke patted his backside and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem was that he had to stay in Jinmen; Li Zongren was the Director of the Beiping Headquarters and had people like Ma Hansan to support him—if he really started looking for trouble, it would be a huge headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wu Jing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are a classmate of Jiang Jianfeng and the sharp sword of Jinmen; if you don't share the burdens of your superiors now, when will you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, you don't have to listen to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about I call Jiang Jianfeng right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ke’s face turned cold as water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, I will try.\" Wu Jing said, biting the bullet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu Qiao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Lu Qiao, who was keeping his head down and playing dead to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Station Chief.\" Lu Qiao’s scalp went numb, and he smiled awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you have a cousin who is the owner of the Listening Rain Pavilion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He must be familiar with these people who write.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This matter is handed to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By tonight, you must see a secret letter written by Li Zongren to Zhan Qinghe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jing directly dumped the pot onto Lu Qiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Station Chief, I, my words carry little weight, how am I qualified to handle such a major task?\" Lu Qiao was about to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"President Sun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me introduce you, this is Lu Qiao, the Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of the Intelligence Section of the Jinmen Station.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is a fellow townsman of Director Zheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is an old hand from the Nanchang Investigation Section era.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nanchang Investigation Section.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A fellow townsman of Zheng Jiemin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Section Chief Lu, your qualifications are very solid; if Director Zheng knew you were worried about the Party and State and actively sharing the burden, he would certainly be very gratified.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, I will personally request rewards for you all from the Generalissimo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ke made the decision on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiao looked at Sun Ke, then at Wu Jing, and was completely stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3779,"2026-06-25T10:22:48.848Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
