Chapter 209

Office.

Li Ya was writing and drawing on paper to do accounts.

"Eating Western food.

"Buying candied haws.

"Stockings, theater tickets, movie tickets.

"..."

The super-strong memory brought by the Qingpu Class special training allowed Li Ya to clearly list every expense since he met Mei Mei Yingxue.

After confirming there were no omissions.

He tallied the bill; he had spent less than eighty silver dollars on Mei Mei Yingxue.

This was thanks to Mei Mei Yingxue loving to act pure and grand.

Li Ya had tried to give her expensive jewelry several times, but she refused on the grounds that they weren't married and it wasn't appropriate to accept expensive gifts.

On the contrary, Mei Mei Yingxue gave him quite a few good things.

This woman at least had money at home and loved to act tasteful.

The watches, suits, leather shoes, and ties she gave him were all famous brands.

Of course, there were also those damn green socks.

Li Ya calculated carefully; since dating Mei Mei Yingxue, not only did he not lose money, he earned at least a thousand US dollars in gifts.

Plus the money she borrowed from him that night to pay back Ma Ma Hansan.

She probably wouldn't be able to wait for him to pay it back.

Back and forth, he earned at least four thousand US dollars.

Not including touching her a few times.

At least that snow-white body was indeed not bad.

After calculating, Li Ya's originally depressed mood instantly improved.

What's missing now?

To maximize benefits, he had to sleep with this bitch a few times.

Not for anything else, just because he couldn't stand her lowly, worship-foreign-things bitchiness; not conquering her would be a disservice to his hot-blooded Chinese manhood.

"Ding-a-ling."

The phone rang.

Li Ya answered; it was the Agricultural and Mining Bureau Inspection Division: "It's me.

"Good, I know.

"Tell Bureau Chief Zhao of the Agricultural and Mining Bureau.

"If a single digit of this data leaks, I will execute him on the spot."

Hanging up the phone.

Li Ya leaned back, rubbed his chin, and pondered.

Right now, James, the British Royal Family, and the Republican faction within North America were attempting to strike at the American military aid faction by cutting off military aid.

Li Ya had no interest in American infighting.

But whoever wanted to cut off the life of the Nationalist Army, he would still fight without hesitation, just like he did in Jinshanwei back then.

At this node, the establishment of the Inspection Division in the Agricultural and Mining Bureau must be the intention of the Chairman or Jiang Jianfeng.

The Station Chief went to Jingling before, perhaps for this matter.

Letting him serve as Inspection Division Chief, besides the trust of the Station Chief and Jiang Jianfeng, probably had another layer of meaning.

Cleaning up the "house."

This was also why the Station Chief was secretly unsupportive of the marriage to Mei Mei Yingxue.

The reason Jiang Jianfeng and he didn't give clear instructions.

Once this matter was made public, even if he tore Mei Mei Yingxue into eighteen pieces, he would be characterized as an accomplice in sabotaging military aid.

Therefore, it could only be done secretly.

At this time, releasing agricultural and mining data...

Li Ya stood up, supported his chin, and paced back and forth, suddenly his eyes sank, and he vaguely touched the key to the matter.

"Captain Li, busy?"

Just as he was pondering, Hong Hong Zhiyou pushed the door open and walked in: "Captain Li, are you in?"

"Brother, anything up?" Li Ya put his hand in his pocket, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile.

"Passed by a dessert shop today; heard the ladies say it's not bad.

"I bought some cakes for you and your wife on the way."

Hong Hong Zhiyou handed over the beautifully packaged small cakes.

"What wife?

"We aren't married yet; it's nowhere in sight.

"Thanks, brother."

Li Ya laughed and took them.

"Sit.

"Brother, you are a veteran in the love field.

"Any... methods?"

Li Ya blinked and asked.

Since he wanted to conquer Mei Mei Yingxue, he couldn't lose the battle.

Hong Hong Zhiyou immediately understood his meaning.

Sigh!

Once some people get used to foreign goods, nothing else works.

"Wait for me."

He turned back and gave him a box of deer antler powder: "This works!"

"Miss Mei is too reserved; she believes in some bullshit foreign religion—can't touch this, can't touch that; the rules are really many," Li Ya didn't stand on ceremony and put it in his pocket.

"Women, they are reserved on the surface, but actually, they can't wait for you to be proactive.

"Don't say anything, just conquer her and that's it.

"If you let them be, you'll have endless losses."

Hong Hong Zhiyou blinked and smiled lightly, teaching the true essence.

"Thanks for the advice," Li Ya laughed.

"Leaving!

"Call me anytime if anything happens."

Hong Hong Zhiyou made a phone gesture and swayed out.

He came to deliver things just to prove one thing: Li Ya's attitude.

From Li Ya's words and subtle expressions, it wasn't hard to see Li Ya's disgust for Mei Mei Yingxue.

It seemed the day for action wasn't far off.

Hong Hong Zhiyou returned to the Station Chief's office.

Wu Wu Jingzhong was talking to Yu Zecheng.

"Zecheng, go handle it.

"Remember.

"I heard that kid loves playing with women; the wind and discipline in Jinhai are quite strict now; changing prisons to eat something good is fine, but if he dares to bring a woman into the prison, I'll shoot him dead."

Wu Wu Jingzhong ordered.

"Yes, Station Chief, I will definitely bring the original words," Yu Zecheng accepted the order.

Seeing Hong Hong Zhiyou, he nodded slightly and walked out.

"Teacher, Li Ya already knows Mei Mei Yingxue's identity," Hong Hong Zhiyou said.

"Hmm.

"Given Mei Mei Yingxue's temperament, she will definitely act like Jiang Gan stealing intelligence, or even try to defect Li Ya.

"I know Li Ya; his loyalty to the Party and State is beyond doubt.

"He'll be annoyed to death by her then.

"Hmph, let her jump around for two more days; she'll have her time to see the King of Hell."

Wu Wu Jingzhong sneered.

"Teacher, the teacher's wife is going to North America today; let me go see her off," Hong Hong Zhiyou said again.

"No need, I had Mei Shao accompany her.

"Once in North America, he doesn't need to come back; clean and quiet, saving him from getting covered in shit domestically and not being able to wipe it off later."

Wu Wu Jingzhong's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice.

"Teacher is still the most thoughtful," Hong Hong Zhiyou had to admire.

"By the way.

"Liu Liu Yuzhu took a plane to Xiangdao last night, going to the very island I bought.

"As long as her inspection goes smoothly this time and she can persuade Ma Ma Hansan.

"We have a chance to dig into Ma Ma Hansan's pockets."

Hong Hong Zhiyou said.

Wu Wu Jingzhong shook his head, leaned closer, pointed at him, and said:

"You are still not considering it carefully enough.

"Does this woman have parents, younger brothers, or other close relatives?

"If so, have her think of a way to get them over.

"Without this layer of leverage, even if we nail her and Ma Ma Hansan in Beiping, once Jiang Jianfeng moves against someone like Ma Ma Hansan, he will definitely want a public trial to make an example of him.

"When the time comes, Liu Liu Yuzhu will definitely have to go to court; if you don't give her some thoughts, she will definitely throw Xiangdao out to save her life.

"As long as she doesn't throw out the Xiangdao matter, it will be stable for us to get that money.

"It's best to let this woman get pregnant with Ma Ma Hansan's child.

"Even if you have to fabricate a medical certificate or something at a critical moment, Ma Ma Hansan is a miser, but without this button, if he gets beaten, he might just confess.

"If you do it, do it carefully.

"Ma Ma Hansan and that woman—you must make them keep their mouths shut."

"Yes!" Hong Hong Zhiyou nodded.

"Right now, it's definitely not the time to move Old Ma; I'll first persuade Liu Liu Yuzhu to transfer her relatives over," he said again.

"Good.

"Have you heard?" Wu Wu Jingzhong changed the subject.

"Heard what?" Hong Hong Zhiyou asked.

"The Chairman is flying to Shenyang next month to supervise the battle, and the Madam will stop by Jinhai on the way to meet with military and political officials and Party and State elders in the Pingjin area.

"Last time, Sun Ke messed up the errand.

"The Chairman was wary of his status and didn't punish him, but he didn't scold him less as a straw bag in private.

"The Americans are putting a lot of pressure on us; implementing constitutional government is inevitable.

"The Chairman has the Red Party in front and Li Li Zongren and Bai Bai Chongxi behind; he is having a hard time too.

"The Madam is coming to Jinhai this time to meet various celebrities at the International Hotel; the security is handed to us—it's difficult."

Wu Wu Jingzhong said.

"Teacher, the underground party in Jinhai has been cleared out.

"Besides, the Red Party generally only strikes at traitors; as long as we do a good job with security, there shouldn't be any problems," Hong Hong Zhiyou said.

"I'm not worried about the Red Party.

"I'm worried about the Secret Service, about Mao Mao Renfeng.

"I got wind that Lin Tai will likely accompany the Madam here; since Boss Dai's time, the Secret Service has had precedents of assassinating her.

"She has always been sympathetic to the Red Party.

"That bullshit Democratic League always loves to sing a different tune from the Chairman, and the people inside are all elder-level figures.

"The propaganda these people have for the Red Area is better than a hundred thousand brave soldiers; why is it that when the generals of the major war zones fight, they are all first-class famous generals like dragons and tigers when fighting the devils?

"Once it comes to fighting the Red Party, they all become soft-footed shrimp.

"Is it that they aren't capable?

"The devils' weapons were much more advanced than the Red Party's millet and rifles.

"A large part of the reason is that they are incited by people like Lin Tai, and they don't want to or are passively suppressing the Red Party from the bottom of their hearts.

"And don't forget, Lin Tai is Sun's widow.

"Her stance and discourse power can touch the foundation of the Party and State.

"The Chairman hates these people to the bone."

Wu Wu Jingzhong sighed with worry.

"Does Teacher mean the Chairman will secretly give orders to Mao Mao Renfeng?" Hong Hong Zhiyou said.

"The Chairman wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

"Everyone in the world knows he wants to get rid of Lin Tai, but these words must never come from him or Jiang Jianfeng.

"One is the Madam.

"Second, Lin Tai's status is too high; if there really is an accident, it's not something to play with.

"Don't forget, there is a large group of Sun's old people overseas in North America.

"These people have deep influence in the US.

"Li Li Zongren might just use this evil wind to rise up."

Wu Wu Jingzhong said.

"Then what is the Chairman's attitude?" Hong Hong Zhiyou was confused.

"Simple.

"He wants Lin Tai to die, but he's afraid of her dying.

"Wanting her to die comes from the heart, but he's afraid her death will be linked to their father and son.

"This kind of subtle matter can only be understood by the subordinates.

"Mao Mao Renfeng is good at pondering thoughts, so he will definitely do this for the Chairman."

Wu Wu Jingzhong said.

"Know why Boss Dai was only a major general until his death, yet could wield power over the court?

"It's because he understood the Chairman's thoughts.

"Shen Zui became the General Affairs Division Chief of the headquarters at a young age, with the rank of general?

"The Chairman scolds him for being rash and frivolous, but if he didn't like him, could he let a young kid sit in the fattest position of the department? Sending him to Diannan is also protection.

"Otherwise, with his rash temperament, he would have been played to death by Mao Mao Renfeng sooner or later.

"Why were he and Boss Dai liked and valued by the Chairman? It's because they both assassinated Lin Tai; whether they succeeded is one thing, but daring to risk the world's condemnation is a matter of attitude!"

Wu Wu Jingzhong continued.

"Mao Mao Renfeng's foundation and qualifications aren't enough; many people are unconvinced by his management of the Secret Service.

"Learning from Boss Dai to strike at Lin Tai is one of the few opportunities for him to show loyalty in front of the Chairman.

"As a result, Lin Tai's trip with the Madam is very dangerous."

Hong Hong Zhiyou frowned and said.

"Indeed.

"I'm just afraid Mao Mao Renfeng won't grasp the true essence of Boss Dai.

"Boss Dai's secret to dealing with the old man is: fail repeatedly, fail repeatedly, fail repeatedly; you can be scolded as a 'mother-fucker' or a 'useless person,' and you can be poked in the spine by ten thousand people, but you will never actually succeed in the assassination.

"He relied on scolding to gain the old man's trust.

"Not on blood.

"Many times, things can't be done, but the attitude and determination must be shown!

"This is the same logic as Sun Ke failing to get votes in Jinhai and dumping the pot on Li Li Zongren."

Wu Wu Jingzhong sighed.

"This is indeed very troublesome.

"If something happens to Lin Tai in Jinhai, it will be your pot, Teacher, no matter what.

"If she doesn't die, the Chairman won't be happy, and Mao Mao Renfeng will use the fact that someone assassinated her and your poor security scared the Madam to find trouble with you.

"If she dies, the Madam won't be happy.

"Mao Mao Renfeng will still use your poor security as an excuse to find fault and punish you.

"On the contrary, he will either claim credit in front of the Chairman.

"If he can't claim credit and doesn't assassinate her, he still expresses loyalty to the Chairman, and by the way, he can pull you down and help Mao Mao Wanli take the Jinhai Station he has been coveting for a long time.

"He wins everywhere."

Hong Hong Zhiyou frowned, feeling that this game of chess was simply unsolvable.

"Indeed, the situation is unfavorable for me," Wu Wu Jingzhong sighed with a smile, hands behind his back.

"Teacher seems to have a countermeasure?" Hong Hong Zhiyou asked.

"If he wants to play dirty, I'll play a public scheme."

Wu Wu Jingzhong smiled slightly, walked to the desk, and picked up the phone:

"Jinhai Station Wu Wu Jingzhong, please connect to the Number Two Residence."

After waiting for a moment, Jiang Jianfeng's voice came from the other end.

"I have an urgent matter to report to you.

"On the third of next month, the Madam and Lin Tai will fly to Shenyang with the Chairman and will stop in Jinhai on the way.

"It is reported that the Madam and Lin Tai may meet with military and political representatives and democratic figures.

"Wu Jingzhong is untalented, but I wish to inherit Boss Dai's legacy and assassinate Lin Tai; please give instructions, leader."

As soon as he said this.

Jiang Jianfeng on the other end went numb, and after a few seconds of silence, he hung up the phone directly.

Wu Wu Jingzhong put down the phone and picked it up again, preparing to dial another number.

"Teacher, what instructions?" Hong Hong Zhiyou asked.

"No instructions, and he doesn't dare to give instructions.

"Anyway, I've shown my attitude to him; let them have a headache."

Wu Wu Jingzhong smiled and shook his head, quickly dialing another number:

"Jinhai Station Wu Wu Jingzhong, connect to Director Mao's special line at headquarters.

"Hello, Director Mao, it's Wu Jingzhong.

"Lin Tai is coming to Jinhai next week; it's like this: Boss Dai once instructed me before he died that once Lin Tai passes through Jinhai, I must settle this person to eliminate the noise.

"I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

"I am untalented, but I wish to exert Boss's legacy and must execute this person in Jinhai; please approve, Director Mao.

"Rest assured, I have already asked Jiang Jianfeng.

"But I feel this matter is an internal affair of our Secret Service, so you still have to nod.

"As long as you say the word, I guarantee Jinhai will be her burial place.

"Good, good.

"Please reply quickly so I can arrange it.

"Goodbye, Director Mao."

Wu Wu Jingzhong hung up the phone with a smile.

"Strike first to gain the advantage.

"I took the initiative to ask for orders from Jiang Jianfeng and him to show my loyalty; not to mention he doesn't have a share, at the very least, Mao Mao Renfeng has to be behind me.

"If he is sensible and feels this deal isn't worth it, he should honestly hold back that belly full of bad water."

Wu Wu Jingzhong pointed at the phone and smiled proudly.

"Teacher's move is really high.

"Jiang Jianfeng must be having a headache now, and Mao Mao Renfeng must be furious!"

Hong Hong Zhiyou admired his "father-in-law's" officialdom skills to the ground.

"Guess what Jiang Jianfeng will do now?" Wu Wu Jingzhong drank tea and moistened his throat.

"I guess he is calling Li Ya," Hong Hong Zhiyou blinked.

"Correct.

"He won't express his attitude, and he doesn't dare to, but he will definitely let Li Ya watch me.

"Lin Tai is too important.

"I reckon those father and son will hesitate for a long time.

"Let Li Ya act as an eye, either call a stop at the appropriate time or stay silent and let us execute it!"

Wu Wu Jingzhong said.

"Then are we really going to execute it?" Hong Hong Zhiyou said.

"Of course, it must be executed; loyalty cannot rely solely on shouting slogans.

"We are the most professional department doing the most unprofessional things.

"Learn from Boss Dai and Shen Zui—assassinate but don't succeed, fail repeatedly.

"Doesn't Zecheng know that Mr. Yong?

"Let Mr. Yong see if he can connect with Lin Tai, let us fire a few fake shots, and make this play sufficient.

"Fire a few shots first to test.

"If that doesn't work.

"You go get gunpowder, high-explosive bombs, and so on.

"Make a big scene, let Li Ya report to Jiang Jianfeng, and scare Jiang Jianfeng and Mao Mao Renfeng to death."

Wu Wu Jingzhong laughed.

"Teacher, won't that make you... damage your reputation as an old cadre of the Military Statistics Bureau?" Hong Hong Zhiyou laughed.

"Cut it out.

"Reputation is empty; daring to act is a hero.

"Besides, I came from the Old Ancient faction and am not used to new gadgets; I only know the old three sets: shooting black guns, poisoning, and setting explosives—isn't this very Wu Wu Jingzhong?"

Wu Wu Jingzhong laughed at himself.

"I think it works!

"As for Lin Tai, will she cooperate?" Hong Hong Zhiyou said.

"She will.

"The Democratic League and the Red Party love to hype up that someone is assassinating them, not democratic, and want to condemn this set.

"Let them make a scene.

"Even if the Chairman gives me a punishment on the surface, he will only appreciate my loyalty even more in private.

"Jinhai must still be mine."

Wu Wu Jingzhong had already seen through this set of officialdom.

"Good, I'll go get guns and explosives now," Hong Hong Zhiyou said.

"Not urgent.

"First see if Li Ya can eliminate Mei Yingxue, or better yet, that foreigner named James.

"A deputy head of the International Observation Group died—this matter is big enough, right?

"It should be enough to scare the Madam and Lin Tai.

"In the current situation, day by day it gets worse; for us, earning some nutritional money for the child is the top priority."

Wu Wu Jingzhong said.

"Yes, the student has been taught," Hong Hong Zhiyou said with heartfelt conviction.

"Go get busy.

"It's almost New Year, getting more and more lively."

Wu Wu Jingzhong sighed.

Evening.

Mei Mei Yingxue lay in James's arms, her eyes full of happiness and sweetness.

"Darling, I heard a huge piece of good news today," she said to her "foreign daddy" in a fawning manner.

"Oh, what good news?" James asked.

"My fiancé, Li Ya of the Secret Service, has become the Inspection Division Chief of the Agricultural and Mining Bureau.

"Aren't you looking for a copy of the Nationalist Government's mineral and agricultural data?

"Isn't it coming now?"

Mei Mei Yingxue raised her chin and said triumphantly.

"Great.

"Get him; if you can persuade him to serve our British Empire and develop him into an MI6 operative.

"With his entry proof, signature, etc.

"My report to the House of Lords will be more persuasive.

"And you will be the heroes of our Empire.

"Your nationality.

"His British nationality—everything is not a problem."

James kissed her and shouted with great joy.

"Also.

"You must facilitate this matter as soon as possible; I don't want to act in this damn place for even one more day.

"Get the report and signature, and let's go back to England together.

"The Royal Family will open the best champagne to celebrate for us."

He was already impatient.
