Chapter 223

"As the Station Chief expected, Lin Tai didn't come at the right time," Hong Zhiyou frowned.

"The Station Chief called to request an assassination; that was to block Mao Renfeng's mouth, to save Mao from claiming credit."

"But Mao Renfeng is eager to perform in front of the Generalissimo, so he will really take action."

"The trouble now is."

"Whether the Station Chief succeeds or not, it will be very troublesome."

"If he succeeds, your people, as well as the party elders of the National Government, will attack him together."

"If he doesn't succeed, Jiang Jianfeng and the Generalissimo will be dissatisfied."

"Old Yu, can you think of a way to keep Lin Tai from coming to Jinhai?"

"Persuade her."

Hong Zhiyou said.

"Zhiyou."

"Lin Tai is a person with feelings."

"She is not someone we can easily control."

"I can only report this situation to those above, but you'd better not hold too much hope. Finding a way to respond is the right path."

Yu Zecheng also touched his forehead helplessly and said.

"Now it's the assassins sent by Mao Renfeng, and even Li Ya is really taking action."

"We are in the open."

"On one hand, we have to act to assassinate Lin Tai, and on the other, we have to find a way to protect her."

"It's inevitable that there will be negligence."

"You have always had experience in defensive work, why don't you come up with a plan and let everyone compare notes?"

Hong Zhiyou pondered.

"Unlikely."

"The organization has organizational discipline. Even if there is a plan, it may not allow me to compare notes with you."

"What if something happens, or it leaks out, who will be blamed?"

Yu Zecheng also had a headache.

"Report it first, I can only say report it first," he said, hands on his hips, pacing two steps.

"However, I think there is someone who might be useful," Yu Zecheng said.

"Who?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"Sun Xing," Yu Zecheng said.

"Sun Xing?"

Hong Zhiyou rubbed his chin.

This person originally served at headquarters and later followed Ma Kui to Jinhai.

After Ma Kui died.

As soon as Li Ya took office, he purged the original action team.

As Ma Kui's "diehard," Sun Xing was naturally on the list.

Now he serves as an accountant under the General Affairs Section, replacing Zhou Yafu's job.

It is very possible that Mao Renfeng started a spare piece at this time.

"Who do you think Mao Renfeng will send to Jinhai to sit in on this operation?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"Intuition tells me it will be Mao Wanli."

"He has already been transferred, but he hasn't gone to report for duty yet, lingering at the Jingling headquarters, which is very unusual."

"In other words, Mao Renfeng might have known about Lin Tai's trip to Jinhai long ago."

"They are all waiting for this opportunity."

"Once Mao Wanli secretly assassinates Lin Tai, the Station Chief will be besieged by all parties, and the lightest consequence will be to resign in disgrace."

"And the position of Jinhai Station Chief, which Mao Wanli has coveted for a long time, will certainly be granted by the Generalissimo because he made a great contribution."

"This is the reason why Mao Wanli stayed at headquarters."

"In the intelligence Shopkeeper Qiu gave me, there are only two words: Mao, Jin."

"I initially thought it referred to Mao Renfeng."

"Now it seems he is specifically referring to Mao Wanli. He has higher-level, deeper-level organizational members at headquarters passing messages."

"Yes, it must be like this."

Yu Zecheng put on his coat, put his hands in his pockets, and walked a few steps.

Hong Zhiyou still trusted Yu very much.

This person is very steady, has an unusually sensitive sense of smell, and has strong logical thinking ability.

"Hmm."

"Mao Wanli is Mao Renfeng's nephew."

"It's not reassuring to entrust such top-secret matters to outsiders, so he is indeed a suitable candidate."

"It's very troublesome."

"None of the three Maos are easy to provoke, and Mao Wanli is quite good at assassination."

"However, as long as Sun Xing can contact them, I have the confidence to protect Lin Tai, with a new type of security law."

Hong Zhiyou had a flash of inspiration and laughed.

"New type of security law?" Yu Zecheng said.

"That's right."

"Why are there assassination incidents? In the final analysis, it's not meticulous enough."

"As long as you are absolutely meticulous, assassination is very difficult."

"Not only that, I also want to use this opportunity to make Mao Wanli never turn over for the rest of his life."

Hong Zhiyou's eyes became stern.

He knew deeply that once Wu Jingzhong fell, many things would not work.

This time, no matter how much money is spent.

No matter how high the price paid, Old Wu's official hat must be protected.

"Good, tell me what I need to do as soon as possible."

"I've changed my plan now."

"You don't need to deliberately ask your superiors here. It's best to let your people remain silent and don't really participate in any action."

Hong Zhiyou thought for a while and said.

"Alright."

"How should I put it, I trust you far more than myself," Yu Zecheng laughed.

"That's good," Hong Zhiyou nodded.

"About the supplies..." Just as he was about to leave, Yu Zecheng pulled him and said.

"Ma Hansan has already agreed to the supplies."

"The first batch can set off tonight. Remember to report it. Not a cent of money can be less. I can earn less, but I must never not earn. This is my bottom line, no discussion."

Hong Zhiyou rolled his eyes at him and said righteously.

"Don't worry, it will definitely be given, given enough and fully," Yu Zecheng guaranteed.

Hong Zhiyou returned to the Station Chief's office.

Wu Jingzhong heard his plan and slapped the table in anger: "The three Maos' desire to destroy me will not die, hateful!"

"Can your plan work? Pulling Chen Changjie and the garrison in, there are many soldiers there, and this bunch of people has no bottom line," he asked solemnly after a pause.

"Teacher, they just like money."

"But these people crawled out of a pile of dead bodies, experienced life and death, and are very loyal to their own people."

"As long as Commander Chen nods."

"I will invite Yang Wenquan to come out of the mountains and lead them to stand this post well."

"The money is enough, plus I have a favor to their former regimental commander Xu Zhiwu, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Moreover, use Lin Tai to fish Mao Wanli out."

"You know, Madam Jiang is very disgusted with the people of the Confidentiality Bureau. She has deep sisterly feelings for Lin Tai. If she gets angry, no one can protect Mao Wanli."

"Similarly, to protect the Madam and Lin Tai, she will also highly praise you."

"The Madam doesn't just have pillow talk."

"She is also the thread between the Jiang father and son and North America, and has a pivotal position."

"No matter how unhappy the Generalissimo and Jiang Jianfeng are, at least on the surface, it will not be easy to move you again."

Hong Zhiyou analyzed.

"Although this is a pretty good result after compromise."

"But is there any way for me and Jiang Jianfeng not to have a rift?"

"I can't afford to offend any of these people."

Wu Jingzhong frowned.

"This is simple."

"When the time comes, catch Mao Renfeng's assassin, and then catch another one, confessing that it was secretly assigned by Jiang Jianfeng."

"You go to Jingling to present the report to Jiang Jianfeng in person."

"Just say that there are old people from Kang Ze's Revival Society's special action team among the assassins. Didn't Kang Ze just return from investigating abroad? He has seen the world and wants to grow bigger within the party."

"Don't forget, they are mortal enemies."

"The Generalissimo trusted Kang Ze very much at the beginning, and because of Jiang Jianfeng, he lost his power."

"Taking such a risky move, framing it on Jiang Jianfeng."

"Only a background like Lin Tai's can have enough public opinion to pull Jiang Jianfeng off his horse, so that Jiang can't protect him even if he wants to."

"Doesn't this all match up?"

Hong Zhiyou said.

"In this way, Jiang Jianfeng will not only not blame you, but will have to be grateful to you for protecting Lin Tai."

"Otherwise, let alone ascending, he wouldn't even be able to sit firmly on the Crown Prince's throne."

After drinking tea, Hong Zhiyou continued.

Wu Jingzhong laughed after hearing it: "You are young, but you know quite a few secrets of the National Government."

"That's right, I almost forgot about Kang Ze if you hadn't mentioned it."

"The two lords Dai and Kang."

"One of the founders of the Revival Society, the head of the special action team, the sharpest sword the Generalissimo was most proud of."

"His momentum once covered Boss Dai. The special action team and the Nanchang Investigation Section were howling ghosts and wolves in the Soviet area, taking both the Red Ticket and the common people."

"At his proudest, Kang Ze was known as the 'Commander of the Imperial Guard,' and could meet the Generalissimo without going through the attendant's office. His treatment level was higher than Boss Dai's."

"If it weren't for his ambition being too big, not seeing the situation clearly and wanting to suppress Jiang Jianfeng."

"Now, whose turn would it be for the Confidentiality Bureau Director to be Zheng Jiemin and Mao Renfeng?"

"It's a pity, the two lords Dai and Kang are the same."

"Boss Dai went to see the King of Hell."

"Kang Ze went abroad to investigate under public pressure."

"As long as this pot is placed on Kang Ze's head, Jiang Jianfeng will have to believe it even if he doesn't, and he is willing to believe it even if he doesn't, just to step on Kang Ze again."

"This is what he is very happy to see."

"Good boy, a dead game was brought to life by you."

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Wu Jingzhong praised repeatedly.

"It's also the help of heaven and people; Kang Ze returned at just the right time," Hong Zhiyou laughed.

"Zhiyou."

"You already have the ability to stand alone, and following me is a bit of a waste of talent," Wu Jingzhong said with emotion.

With Hong Zhiyou's ability, if his rank climbed up, he would be a hundred times stronger than the Shanghai Station Chief, and he would definitely not be at a disadvantage even if he wrestled with old qualifications like Mao Sen and Mao Renfeng.

"Teacher."

"I don't seek official career with you; you are my elder and family, and this point is more important than anything else."

"So whether it's spending money or going through fire and water, I will not shirk."

Hong Zhiyou revealed his heart.

"Yes."

"We are a family."

"I have entrusted this matter to you entirely, go handle it," Wu Jingzhong patted his shoulder and encouraged him.

Watching the "son-in-law" leave, his heartstrings inexplicably relaxed.

This mission was almost a dead end.

No matter how you do it, it's wrong, and no matter how you do it, it's difficult.

Wu Jingzhong had already prepared to pack up and go home to hold his granddaughter, or even be hunted down by the Red Ticket.

He also had plans to let Zhiyou take Wu Rui to Xiangdao to avoid the limelight.

He thought the usually shrewd and mercenary Zhiyou would take the initiative to mention avoiding the limelight.

He didn't expect this kid not only not to leave but to take the initiative to carry it.

In the past, he covered for this bunch of little cubs.

He didn't expect that there would be a day when he would be taken care of by them.

While sighing that he was old.

He was more relieved.

Zhiyou, this "son-in-law" was not taught in vain, not loved in vain.

Afternoon.

94th Army Headquarters drill ground.

Thousands of soldiers stood in formation.

Having not appeared for a long time, Yang Wenquan, in military uniform, walked over with their old friend Hong Zhiyou.

The officer accompanying him was Li Tongshan.

A subordinate of Regimental Commander Xu, and also a diehard brother.

"Army Commander!"

Thousands of soldiers shouted like thunder at the same time.

"Brothers, I am no longer your Army Commander."

"Thanks to the brothers not abandoning me, Old Yang will do a big one with everyone today."

"Lift it up."

Yang Wenquan waved his hand.

Soldiers immediately carried two baskets over.

The two baskets were piled full of silver dollars.

"Secretary Hong, I don't need to introduce him much, he is our old friend."

"Acting on Commander Chen's orders, our 94th Army will take over the security of Jinhai to ensure the safety of Madam Jiang and Ms. Lin Tai."

"These silver dollars are a little hard-earned money from Secretary Hong for everyone. You can hold or grab them with both hands."

"Everyone takes one round."

"If it's not enough, there's more behind."

"Come on."

Yang Wenquan parted his newly grown exquisite small mustache and ordered with a smile.

"All of you, take the money in order."

"No noise."

"No crowding."

"No looting."

Li Tongshan ordered righteously.

The soldiers followed their officers and took the money one by one.

Although they were very excited, no one crowded or took more, and they all retreated in an orderly manner with a large handful.

This scene made Hong Zhiyou quite confused.

The 94th Army loves money very much, and reselling military supplies is a trend.

But when they are serious, their military discipline, single-soldier style, and strength are still okay.

The equipment is also very good.

Reasonably speaking, such an army, not to mention how capable it is, shouldn't be shattered at a touch like in the later period.

Can't figure it out!

Hong Zhiyou is not a military enthusiast.

Can't figure it out, so he's too lazy to think about it.

Having settled the 94th Army.

The next day.

The Confidentiality Bureau began to enter the hotel to arrange security.

Hong Zhiyou's plan is very simple.

Strict.

Adopt modern security methods for key personnel.

Why is security difficult to defend in this era?

Because metal detectors are not widely used, and with a little relationship, guns and the like can be brought in.

But this thing was actually invented in 1924.

The US Marines have long been using it, utilizing reconnaissance, etc.

Hong Zhiyou not only went to the Marines to borrow more than a dozen sets.

Why is he afraid of Mao Wanli finding someone to go through the back door? He directly let the American soldiers sent by Ke Ke guard the main corridors, front and rear passages, etc.

These people are very diehard.

In addition, they don't understand Chinese.

With language barriers, military orders, and large rewards, even if Mao Wanli wants to smash, he can't find a way, and it's difficult to pour assassins in.

Then there is the kitchen.

The chefs were all arranged by Madam Jiang herself and came to Jinhai a few days ago.

This is where Hong Zhiyou has a headache.

They came from Jingling.

Mao Renfeng is highly likely to have bought off people among them long ago.

This belongs to uncontrollable factors.

Not only that.

The rest is controlling the outside field and reporters.

Hong Zhiyou's idea is very simple: build an iron bucket, and when Mao Wanli has nowhere to go, he will naturally fall into the pit he specially dug.

At that time, it will be a time of double benefit.

Jinhai Station.

"Zhiyou, the Generalissimo flies to Shenyang tomorrow. It has been confirmed that the Madam and Lin Tai will get off the plane midway and stay at the International Hotel."

"Mao Renfeng called early in the morning, pointing out that I must do a good job in security, otherwise he wants my head to fall to the ground."

"He hasn't done anything yet, but he's already putting a ring on me. His heart is punishable."

Wu Jingzhong sighed with his hands behind his back.

"Teacher, what arrangements are there above?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"According to past practice, business representatives, progressive women, youth students, and primary and secondary school student representatives will go to the airport or the road in front of the hotel to welcome them according to the proportion."

"The flowers along the way have already been arranged by Zhang Tinge."

"The red carpet at the hotel has also been laid."

"You know, this bunch of people likes to love vanity, wishing everyone liked them, so that there is public opinion."

"But since it's Mao Wanli taking action this time."

"This person has always been unscrupulous, and pays attention to being neat and fast. He won't spend so much effort. If he can shoot from the shadows, he will definitely shoot from the shadows."

"I'm afraid his people are hidden among these representatives."

"It's impossible to guard against."

"The road is so long, with so many people, if the two ladies poke their heads out and wave, it will all be in vain."

Wu Jingzhong had a headache.

"Simple."

"He comes his way, we do ours, blow one up first."

"At least don't let them be so ostentatious, giving Mao Wanli a chance to shoot."

Hong Zhiyou said.

"Hmm, then blow it up."

"Find a clumsy guy who isn't very smart to do it," Wu Jingzhong said.

"How about Mi Zhiguo?"

"His family is tight, and he is close to you. Just say he is doing it for money. If Li Ya asks later, he can explain it clearly." He said after a pause.

"Teacher, better not."

"Mi Zhiguo has a good personal relationship with me. Once this bomb goes off, we have an attitude."

"If someone takes it seriously and takes him, he might lose his head."

"Better let outsiders do it."

"If Jiang Jianfeng asks, just say we set it off."

"If Jiang Jianfeng doesn't ask, whoever set it off, we won't say anything and let them guess."

"Save someone from making an issue out of it."

Hong Zhiyou said.

Wu Jingzhong knew he was sentimental, so he didn't force it: "Then you handle it. This one must be blown up, so that the Generalissimo and Jiang Jianfeng will be terrified."

Hong Zhiyou returned to his office.

Pretending to be in the corridor, seeing Gao Yuan come out, he pretended that his stomach suddenly hurt:

"Ouch."

"Secretary Hong, what's wrong?" Gao Yuan hurriedly came to support him.

"Maybe I ate something bad at noon."

"Gao Yuan, there is a package in the equipment room, get it for me."

"I'll go to the bathroom first."

Saying that, he whispered quickly: "If Li Ya asks, you can tell the truth."

"Okay, Secretary Hong, you go first, I'll get the package for you."

Gao Yuan accepted the order and went quickly.

Soon, he took a package and handed it to Hong Zhiyou who came out of the bathroom.

"Secretary Hong, your package," Gao Yuan said.

"Good, thank you."

"Take it, buy some wine to drink," Hong Zhiyou stuffed a few silver dollars into his pocket.

Then, he carried the bundle and left.

Gao Yuan returned to the office, Li Ya was ordering a restaurant on the phone.

Having the lesson of Mei Yingxue.

He is no longer interested in marriage and having children.

If he wants a woman, he goes to the Yingchun Building.

Most of the time, he puts his interest in food. No matter how busy or tired he is, he must go to a restaurant for lunch and dinner every day.

"Met Hong Zhiyou in the corridor just now?" Li Ya asked.

"Met."

"His stomach hurt, let me get a package for him in the equipment room."

Gao Yuan answered truthfully.

"Took a package to the equipment room?"

"What is it?"

Li Ya frowned.

He received a secret telegram from Jiang Jianfeng last night to assassinate Lin Tai.

Jiang Jianfeng's meaning was very clear: he didn't have much confidence in Wu Jingzhong's old three tricks, so he let Li Ya wait for an opportunity to act and kill with one blow.

Could it be that Wu Jingzhong is going to use his three axes?

Li Ya frowned and came to the equipment room:

"Old Cao, what did Secretary Hong just take?"

"Captain Li, how would I know."

"He is a leader, I can't say even if I know."

Equipment room manager Old Cao said with a bitter smile.

"The equipment room is not under my control, but the interrogation room is now under my control. Don't think I don't know what you've done. You've stolen quite a few batteries and flashlights."

"Not investigating you is because I see you are old."

"Don't be shameless."

Li Ya pulled out his gun and opened the safety.

"Captain Li, don't, don't."

"I'll say, Secretary Hong took away a bundle of dynamite," Old Cao said in fear.

"Dynamite?"

Li Ya frowned and pondered.

Sure enough, the teacher is still using the old three tricks.

Hong Zhiyou wants to set off dynamite.

That's fine.

If he really blows Lin Tai to death, he doesn't have to take this risk himself.

Li Ya is not stupid either.

He made a contribution in the spy case, but he was also scared out of half his soul.

Lin Tai is not to be trifled with.

This contribution, well, he has to bite the bullet and make it.

But it's best not to.

It's best if Hong Zhiyou can blow her to death.

If he can't blow her up.

He collects good evidence, and he can take a hold on Hong Zhiyou and Old Wu later.

Not to mention blowing up Lin Tai.

Just say Hong Zhiyou conspired with the Red Ticket to assassinate Madam Jiang.

And the equipment room is under Yu Zecheng's control.

This person has a Red Ticket suspicion case file in Jiang Jianfeng's hands, and he is close to Hong Zhiyou.

Conspiring with the Red Ticket to assassinate Madam Jiang, this pot can be buckled firmly.

Killing two birds with one stone.

Hmm.

Watch and wait first.
