Chapter 185: Clam and Crane Fight, Fisherman Gains

"Old Xie, I have one thing I don't understand."

"Since Ye Xiufeng issued a 'kill' order in your Party-Communication Bureau, why don't you do it yourself."

"If you catch him, your Director Ye should at least promote you to Major."

Yu Zecheng picked up a chopstick of mutton, swished it, dipped it in sauce, and asked while eating.

"Am I... stupid."

"Ji Weimin dared to do this, who knows how many big officials above and Director Ye himself are involved."

"Whoever catches him openly represents the possibility of uncovering the inside story."

"Don't even think about being rewarded, being cleared out is certain."

"These people's mouths are full of benevolence and morality, but... their hearts are full of knives and poison."

"Knowing too much is a dead end!"

"So, this matter can only be done by you."

Xie Ruolin gave a dry laugh.

As he spoke, he put down his chopsticks, walked to the railing of the stairs, and stuck his left leg into the railing.

Then he exerted force and twisted it violently.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a scream, his body flipped and fell down several stairs.

Hong Zhiyou and Yu Zecheng were both stunned.

The two hurriedly greeted him: "Old Xie, you... what is this?"

"Help me up!"

"We, we continue to chat, continue to hotpot."

Xie Ruolin said with a face full of pain and distortion.

"Where is the medicine for falls?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"Don't... don't."

"That taste is strong, affecting the appetite."

"Don't waste these plates of finely cut good mutton."

Xie Ruolin wiped the cold sweat from his head and said.

"Old Xie, you, what kind of play are you playing?" Yu Zecheng also stuttered.

"Last time I helped Sun Chuanzhi buy fake intelligence from your side."

"More than ten gold bars."

"The result was fake."

"It also caused his little lover Zhu Yan to be killed, and redeeming the person cost nearly a hundred gold bars."

"He hates me more than Wu Jingzhong now."

"If I don't limp, the errand of catching Ji Weimin will definitely fall on my head."

"I call this exchanging a leg for a life."

Xie Ruolin narrowed his eyes and gave a mercenary dry laugh.

"Old Xie, since it's like this, you might as well resign." Hong Zhiyou suggested.

If it were him, encountering such a deadly matter.

He would definitely have slipped away at the first opportunity.

"Brother, I'm not like you, having a powerful father-in-law, eating through the green, red, and black paths, with a solid foundation overseas and in Xiangdao."

"I'm poor, and I have no background."

"Why should I sit at the same table with you?"

"Isn't it... isn't it because I, Old Xie, dare to risk my life and am professional enough?"

"Without the signboard of the Party-Communication Bureau, many things won't work, can't get money, what's the difference from... from being dead?"

Xie Ruolin's eyes were slightly red, rubbing his fingers and saying.

"Old Xie, why don't you sell wine overseas for me."

"If you play like this, sooner or later you'll be shot with a dark gun."

Hong Zhiyou truly cherished this genius.

"We'll... we'll see."

"I estimate it's fast."

"To tell the two, I have been in contact with the Party-State's, the Red ticket's, and the democratic ones."

"The Red ones, that's truly one spit and one nail."

"No matter what, whether you use your life to fill it, or use a mountain of gold and silver to smash it, it must be done."

"Look at us again, the roots are rotten."

"Ye Xiufeng, Mao Renfeng, Bai Chongxi, all are single-mindedly calculating their own abacus."

"If it goes on like this, I think it's hanging."

"Once Jinhai is Red, I will be an assistant to Brother Hong and go sell wine in Xiangdao for you."

Xie Ruolin raised his glass to toast the two.

Immediately, he looked at Yu Zecheng with a hehe:

"Staying behind is probably not bad either."

"All good, all good!" Yu Zecheng raised his chin and raised his glass.

Some things everyone knows tacitly.

But absolutely cannot be said.

After eating.

The two returned home separately.

"Zhiyou, I estimate there will be an early meeting tomorrow."

"You say about Ji Weimin's matter, should I strive for it?"

Yu Zecheng waited in the courtyard, looked at Sun Ma's room, walked to the corner, and asked in a low voice.

"No need to strive, this matter will fall on your head." Hong Zhiyou said.

"Why?" Yu Zecheng didn't understand.

"Catching Ji Weimin is an order from the Generalissimo."

"This is a sky-high merit."

"If Lu Qiaoshan succeeds, even the King of Heaven can't stop him from being Deputy Station Chief."

"Li Ya."

"He is a good hand at action, but with Lu Qiaoshan's constraints, he can't do anything."

"Therefore, the person the Station Chief can use can only be you."

Hong Zhiyou analyzed.

"At the same time, this is also an opportunity for you." He looked at Old Yu with a smile.

"We'll see."

"I don't dare to think about such good things."

Yu Zecheng laughed and returned to the room.

Hong Zhiyou entered the room.

Xiaohui was reading a book.

Hong Zhiyou's eyebrows sank, he stepped forward and took a look at "China's Destiny".

Hmm, this is very good.

"Back quite early lately?" Hong Zhiyou poured a cup of tea and chatted for two sentences.

Since entering the interrogation room last time, the little sister had less skin and more steadiness than before.

It seems that saying a thousand or ten thousand words is really not as good as Old Wu slapping her a few times.

"Yes."

"Didn't you tell me to go out less, so I came back early to accompany Mom." Hong Xiaohui said.

"Liu Shan didn't come to find you lately?" Hong Zhiyou asked with a smile.

"Brother, I said... oh, he did, I get along quite well with him at school."

"Didn't you say Liu Shan has a future."

"Anyway, making a friend is no harm, right."

"As for the future, we'll see."

Hong Xiaohui said playfully.

"Hmm, having this awareness is fine."

"Xiaohui."

"Brother only has you as a sister, I just want you to live, live well."

Hong Zhiyou touched her head, smiled with satisfaction, and went upstairs.

Just after he left.

Hong Xiaohui hurriedly opened the book, the book cover was "China's Destiny", but inside there was another mystery, full of Red energy.

"Brother, there are many ways to live."

"How can this world be good?"

"They say you are the number two secret agent in Jinhai City..."

She murmured in a low voice.

Hong Zhiyou stood at the corner of the hallway, looking coldly at the thin figure downstairs.

For a long time, he walked upstairs quickly.

Picked up the phone and dialed a number:

"Hey, it's me."

"How is it lately?"

"Guo Youliang?"

"Good, I understand."

"Thanks, see you at the teahouse tomorrow."

"Sigh!"

Hong Zhiyou pushed open the window and sighed lightly at the night sky.

The next day.

After finishing his practice, Hong Zhiyou got straight into Yu Zecheng's car.

"Old Yu, Xiaohui is together with Guo Youliang."

"I asked Vice Principal Li last night, they have been walking very close lately, very likely they are in love."

"Is it Guo Youliang's trap?"

"I don't doubt at all that Guo Youliang already knows my identity."

Hong Zhiyou said.

"Zhiyou."

"I am not familiar with the Student Union, the Local Committee, or the Labor Movement."

"And to ensure my concealment, I can't go to bring you words, that's easy to connect to me."

"Young people are often more radical than us."

"Xiaohui wasn't scared by the torture in the interrogation room, she will only become stronger."

"Compared to most students, she is already a very excellent fighter."

"Since she chose the light, then accept it, recognize it."

Yu Zecheng looked at him and said helplessly.

"The problem is what do I do?" Hong Zhiyou said.

"Report to the Station Chief."

"Then let it take its course."

"Although progressive student groups are monitored, they haven't been classified as Red tickets to the point of shouting and killing."

"Isn't it just gathering, shouting slogans."

"I forgive Li Ya and the others for not going up to the line."

Yu Zecheng said.

"Can only be like this." Hong Zhiyou shook his head.

Arriving at the station.

The two had just walked to the second floor when they were pulled into the Intelligence Section office by Lu Qiaoshan:

"Heard about it?"

Lu Qiaoshan asked with a face full of seriousness.

"Heard about what?" Yu Zecheng blinked and asked.

"Ji Weimin of the Party-Communication Bureau used his position as the person in charge of the Ludong Economic Investigation Group to collude with military officers in the local war zone to resell large-scale military supplies, and fled with money after being reported."

"The Generalissimo was furious and strictly ordered Director Mao to solve the case within a time limit."

"Now all stations nationwide have taken action."

"This is a big fish the Generalissimo wants."

"Think about Brother Hong, handled a Ke Chengwu, promoted three levels in a row."

"This Ji Weimin is the same, whoever catches him, will be promoted at least one level, and can show their face in front of the Generalissimo, maybe even have a meal."

"That is directly on the spot..."

Lu Qiaoshan made a gesture of flying into the sky.

"Such an important errand, definitely won't have our share."

"Besides, arrest operations have always been the responsibility of Captain Li and you."

"Brother Shan, congratulations in advance."

Hong Zhiyou said with a beaming smile.

"Brother."

"Not necessarily."

"The Master Zhang Si affair, the knot between the Station Chief and me cannot be untied."

"Pushing Hou Yunlai out to compete with me, isn't that proof?"

"He definitely won't give me this great merit."

"At most, he'll let me assist."

"This work will definitely fall into Li Ya's hands."

Lu Qiaoshan cupped his hands and said.

"The problem is Captain Li has a punishment order in front, even if he achieves merit, it's useless." Yu Zecheng frowned.

"Hi."

"Punishment or not, isn't it just a word from the old man?"

"He is Jiang Jianfeng's person."

"If he catches Ji Weimin, Jiang Jianfeng will definitely blow Li Ya to the sky in front of the old man."

"At that time, don't talk about Deputy Station Chief, even the Station Chief position might be given to him with a wave of his hand."

Lu Qiaoshan said with an exaggerated face.

"No way, the Station Chief of a Class A station must be at least a General." Hong Zhiyou said.

"It's a General."

"Don't forget those bullshit Generals sent to Xiangdao and overseas, in terms of qualifications, how many are older than you and me."

"When Boss Dai was here, one sentence 'task needed', and he was promoted to Major General in minutes."

"Li Ya stayed in Yancheng, and was a failed infiltrator, but just because of this little broken thing, he was treated as some bullshit hero by Jiang Jianfeng and the Ministry of National Defense."

"Catching a Ji Weimin, it's even more extraordinary."

"Sealing a General, it's not impossible."

Lu Qiaoshan said.

Yu Zecheng looked at Hong Zhiyou and didn't speak.

"Old Lu, what do you mean?" Hong Zhiyou understood and asked on his behalf.

"My people reacted, Li Ya called Jiang Jianfeng in his office last night, and this morning he reorganized his troops and took away three hundred rounds of ammunition from your equipment room."

"This is clearly wanting to do a big job."

"My meaning is, you and Zhiyou, whoever takes this work."

"I will definitely do my best to cooperate."

Lu Qiaoshan's gaze wandered between the two.

"I'll forget it."

"Dancing with women is fine, catching people..."

Hong Zhiyou shook his head and laughed.

"Then Old Yu."

"You must take it." Lu Qiaoshan pointed at Yu Zecheng.

"Don't, don't, I'm just a small Confidential Section Major Director, following behind you and Captain Li to listen to the shouting is fine."

"This kind of 'big battle' is not my turn to be alone."

Yu Zecheng was as humble as ever.

"Brother, my Deputy Station Chief position is already nailed down."

"Director Zheng has already nominated."

"Mao Renfeng nodded."

"Eighty-one difficulties, this is the last one, you must carry it for your brother."

"Don't forget, compared to Li Ya, some bullshit hero."

"You are the genuine hero who was personally certified and commended by Boss Dai, and killed Li Haifeng alone."

"In terms of qualifications, you are a classmate with Li Ya."

"You can totally do this work."

Lu Qiaoshan lobbied hard.

The more anxious he was, the more Yu Zecheng was humble.

Finally, Lu Qiaoshan was so anxious he wanted to hit someone, only then did Yu Zecheng say unhurriedly:

"Old Lu, since you said so, I'll try."

"Let's say first, I can carry things for you."

"You must fully support me in terms of intelligence."

"If caught, it's the Party-State's fortune."

"If not caught, don't blame your brother for being incompetent."

"Rest assured, it will definitely be caught." Lu Qiaoshan patted his shoulder and said.

"Then we'll go."

"Oh, don't mind if we borrow a cup of coffee."

Yu Zecheng laughed.

"Of course, from now on you guys treat this as a coffee shop, come often if you have nothing to do, pour it yourself if you want to drink." Lu Qiaoshan pointed at the freshly ground and boiled coffee and said.

Yu Zecheng took the cup, and the two poured one each and left.

"Heh."

"Caught, Party-State's fortune."

"You think beautifully!"

Lu Qiaoshan spat lightly.

He only wanted Yu Zecheng to hold off Li Ya, but didn't want Yu to achieve merit.

Is Ji Weimin that easy to catch?

Have intelligence, can't I catch it myself?

Hong Zhiyou came to the Station Chief's office, wiping the desk daily.

Making tea.

Cutting fruit.

After a while, Wu Jingzhong walked in with his hands behind his back, hurriedly saying: "Zhiyou, stop wiping."

"Call Lu Qiaoshan and Li Ya... right, also Director Yu to the conference room, I'm going to hold an emergency meeting."

"Good, Teacher."

Hong Zhiyou obeyed.

He noticed the Station Chief used "Director Yu".

Often at this time, he would give official business, heavy responsibility, only then would he call Yu Zecheng's position.

It seems the Station Chief's thoughts are the same as his own.

He intends to support Yu Zecheng to get up.

Wu Jingzhong pulled open the drawer, touched two gold bars, and stuffed them into his pocket.

Yesterday, releasing the man surnamed Xu, Yu Zecheng scooped up quite a bit of oil and water.

Eating dinner last night, originally intended to share some.

As a result, chatting about fun and making money, forgot to give.

Just right, Ji Weimin case broke out.

If he could borrow this opportunity to push Yu Zecheng up, that would be everything going well.

Of course, catching Ji Weimin is difficult.

But after all, there is a little hope, still have to try.

"First arrive at Guanzhong to be king..."

He tucked the gold bars, hummed a little tune with his hands behind his back, and walked out of the office.

Arriving at the conference room.

Several capable generals had already taken their seats.

Seeing Wu Jingzhong, several people stood up and greeted him.

"Sit."

"Have you all heard?" Wu Jingzhong asked with a smile.

"Station Chief is talking about Ji Weimin's matter, right."

"Heard about it last night, a thief of the country, even the winter clothes of the frontline soldiers, hundreds of thousands of pieces, he dared to swap, truly should be cut into a thousand pieces."

Li Ya was not talkative, but was showing his attitude and willingness to go on an expedition to the Station Chief.

"Yes."

"The stench of this matter has drifted all over the world, even the Americans have smelled it, Truman even specially summoned the ambassador to ask questions."

"And expressed suspicion about our military aid."

"The Party and State's face is swept away, the Generalissimo is furious."

"Ye Xiufeng has a ghost in his heart, shouting strictly on the surface, but dragging in reality."

"The Generalissimo has now handed over the arrest work to the Confidential Bureau."

"Everyone, the time to earn merit and be rewarded has arrived."

"Come, let's discuss who will take this work."

Wu Jingzhong looked at everyone with a smile.

"Station Chief, catching people has always been the business of my Action Team."

"Does this still need to be asked?"

"This kind of petty thief, I must catch him."

Li Ya raised his side face, not even pretending.

"That's good, then Li..."

Wu Jingzhong looked at everyone, deliberately pretending to be about to make a decision.

"Captain Li, you are now a person who has committed a crime, is it appropriate to catch Ji Weimin?" Lu Qiaoshan opened his mouth with a beaming smile.

"What is inappropriate about it?

"The higher-ups only said no promotions or commendations, they didn't say we weren't allowed to arrest Ji Weimin.

"Besides.

"To redeem oneself through meritorious service—if you don't perform the service, where will the merit come from?"

Li Ya sneered.

"The problem is, Dong Cheng was killed by you.

"Yuan Peilin was also lost by you.

"If you go to arrest Ji Weimin, who knows if Yuan Peilin will get away again.

"Looking at what has happened in the past.

"I do acknowledge Captain Li's ability to arrest the likes of student unions, labor movements, and printing shops.

"But when it comes to catching big fish.

"Honestly, I haven't seen any skill to speak of.

"Oh, hiding people is still okay.

"As for arresting people... in this past month, you've done quite a few things that have made a fool of yourself, haven't you?

"I'm afraid if the Station Master hands this task to you, the Jinhai Station will become a laughingstock in the future."

Lu Qiaoshan sneered.

"You surnamed Lu, you!"

Li Ya was about to die of anger.

"Li Ya, Qiaoshan is right.

"You have repeatedly lost your touch, and people from the station down to the headquarters are already very dissatisfied.

"The arrest of Yuan Peilin concerns the face of the Party and the State; not the slightest bit of carelessness can be tolerated.

"In my opinion, while Captain Li's heart is commendable, as for the operation, it would be better to choose someone else to be in charge."

Wu Jingzhong stated his position.

"Someone else, who?

"Section Chief Lu?"

Li Ya asked with dissatisfaction.

"Station Master, this subordinate is willing to share the worries for the Chairman and you." Lu Qiaoshan shamelessly vied for it.

"Qiaoshan, you are responsible for intelligence, and if you take on arresting people as well, you will inevitably neglect one thing for another and easily make mistakes.

"In my opinion, let Zecheng go.

"He is a young warrior who assassinated Li Haifeng and was personally commended by Boss Dai.

"In terms of seniority, he is a classmate of Captain Li and an old hand from the Qingpu Class.

"What do you two think?"

Wu Jingzhong didn't even look at Hong Zhiyou, only asking Li and Lu.

Although Hong Zhiyou is now a Section Chief and has the qualifications to be seated.

But for this kind of work that offends people, he wouldn't cause trouble for his own "son-in-law."

"Station Master, if it's Director Yu, I have no objections." Lu Qiaoshan smiled.

"Captain Li, what about you?"

Wu Jingzhong looked at Li Ya.

Li Ya looked at Yu Zecheng, his expression somewhat resentful and ugly.

He knew very well.

Even if he obtained the qualification, Lu Qiaoshan would definitely drag his feet and trip him up.

It would be better to do Yu Zecheng a favor.

Thinking of this, he forced a smile and said: "If it's Director Yu, I have no objections."

"Alright then, it's settled.

"The work of arresting Ji Weimin is handed over to Zecheng to be in charge, meeting adjourned."

Wu Jingzhong nodded and made the final decision.
