Chapter 233
"Captain Li, please."
Hong Zhiyou was cold as ice. With a wave of his hand, two agents from headquarters immediately stepped forward to help Li Ya downstairs and into a car.
Returning to the station.
Hong Zhiyou had Li Ya change his clothes and brought him to the office to wait.
"Zhiyou, am, am I finished this time?" Li Ya's voice was a little shaky.
"Captain Li.
"Are we friends?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
"Yes.
"You know, there are not many people I can look up to.
"In my heart, you are my only friend."
Li Ya said.
"Good.
"Since we are friends, you listen to me.
"Originally, Jianfeng wanted to secretly deal with you and Mao Wanli."
"But the station chief has been speaking well of you to the Madam and Jianfeng these past two days. Jianfeng, considering your past meritorious service, also intends to let you off the hook.
"I won't say any more.
"How you answer, you decide for yourself."
Hong Zhiyou still felt that less talk was better.
He didn't care about owing favors.
But the station chief's favor in Li Ya's matter must be fully earned; this is the duty of a secretary.
"Don't do that.
"Is there any evidence?" Jiang Jianfeng asked.
"I was poisoned by that son of a bitch Mao Wanli. My brain stem has been pulled out during this time, and I am dizzy now.
"If I misinterpret the meaning, wouldn't I be finished?"
Li Ya said with a depressed face.
"Alright.
"When you go in, first firmly admit that you had a plan to assassinate Lin Tai.
"Originally, you intended to borrow Mao Wanli's cover to kill him later.
"Who would have expected...
"The gist is just that.
"Jianfeng wants your attitude. Do you understand what I mean?"
Hong Zhiyou pointed to his chest and said.
"Understood." Li Ya nodded.
"Li Ya, Comrade Jianfeng wants you to go over." Soon, an officer came to pass the message.
"Understood."
Li Ya walked in with a lonely expression.
Half an hour later, he walked out with red eyes.
"How was it?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
"Comrade Jianfeng told me to reflect well," Li Ya said in a deep voice.
"Still have a chance to reflect.
"It seems you passed this hurdle.
"It's my turn to go in."
Hong Zhiyou smiled and walked in.
Jianfeng was drinking tea with Wu Jingzhong. Judging from their laughing expressions, the resolution of this matter was basically clear.
"Comrade Jianfeng, Station Chief!"
Hong Zhiyou stepped forward and gave Jianfeng a military salute, addressing him as Comrade.
This instantly made Jianfeng feel favorable, and he asked with a smile:
"Good, Comrade.
"Sharing the same ideals, all are the soul of the Party and State.
"Secretary Hong, how is the preparation for Fu Zuoyi's military pay going?"
"The Americans have already started speculating on that stock. Currently, the growth is very high. It is expected to reach a high point within three days. At that time, we can consider collecting a wave.
"It should not be less than 200,000 US dollars."
Hong Zhiyou replied.
"This move of yours is not very honorable.
"But in wartime, special matters are handled specially, and it is not a bad method.
"It just so happens to let those rich people in the country see that the American wind is not something one can follow casually.
"In recent years, the Americans have been trying every way to scrape our gold and silver. Rich people are sharpening their heads to squeeze abroad. The people's hard-earned money and the foundation left by our ancestors are being scraped away bit by bit.
"Alas, our country is poor and weak.
"And we cannot do without American aid, so we can only let people pinch our throats and live by looking at others' faces.
"It is truly sad."
Jianfeng sighed with emotion.
"So the superior knows everything," Hong Zhiyou said softly.
"Presumptuous, do not be rude," Wu Jingzhong frowned and scolded softly.
"No matter.
"Our generation is in its prime. Although we cannot scrape the bone to cure the poison now, having this heart is good.
"After pacifying the banditry, the first thing to deal with in the future will be these capital-runners, to continue the life of the national economy."
Jianfeng pointed his finger at the ceiling and said with awe-inspiring dominance.
Hong Zhiyou remained silent.
If you want to continue your life, you should settle Shanghai first.
"Secretary Hong.
"The Chairman is supervising the battle in Shenyang. I know you can talk to the US military and the Madam.
"This matter must be brought to a close as soon as possible.
"Jinhai matters, Jinhai resolution!
"You take a moment now to go see the Madam.
"If the Madam can loosen her mouth, Station Chief Wu and I will host a banquet to celebrate your success!"
Jianfeng said.
"Yes, subordinate obeys," Hong Zhiyou respectfully accepted the order.
Just walked out of the reception room.
Before leaving the station, Mao Renfeng was already waiting in the corridor.
"Secretary Hong," he called Hong Zhiyou aside.
"Director Mao, what are your instructions?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
"Zhiyou.
"Mao Sen has praised you many times in front of me. I even had the idea of transferring you to headquarters to follow me. It's a pity, Station Chief Wu wouldn't give you up, which made us miss the opportunity.
"Coming to Jinhai this time, being able to chat with you for a few sentences has fulfilled a wish I have had for a long time."
Mao Renfeng's tone was friendly, like a wise elder thirsty for talent.
"Director Mao, the subordinate is flattered.
"You are the superior.
"If you have any instructions, the subordinate will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Hong Zhiyou said with fear and trepidation.
"Hmm.
"You and I are indeed of one heart.
"You also know that Wanli is my sixth brother. This time when you go to see the Madam, you must speak well of him.
"He didn't participate in the assassination of Lin Tai in the past.
"He has also performed quite a few meritorious services.
"I don't ask for anything else, just hope that you, brother, will use your golden words to save his life, and Mao will be eternally grateful."
Mao Renfeng gently patted his hand and said with a smile.
"Director, I dare not, I dare not.
"You are an elder and a superior.
"Even if you gave me a hundred guts, I would never dare to call you brother."
Hong Zhiyou quickly broke free from his hand and bowed deeply.
"Good, good!
"Then I will leave this matter to you, Secretary Hong!" Mao Renfeng said.
"Yes, the subordinate will definitely do his best."
Hong Zhiyou accepted the order and left.
After he left, Mao Renfeng took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, threw it into the trash can nearby, and snorted coldly as he walked into the station.
Hong Zhiyou drove to the hotel.
The Madam was taking a nap.
He waited in the lounge outside for about an hour.
Zhang Jing passed the message, telling him to go in.
"Attendant Zhang, you go out first, I will chat with Secretary Hong alone," Madam Jiang said.
After Zhang Jing walked out, the Madam got straight to the point: "What did Jianfeng say?"
"Jianfeng wants to punish Li Ya internally. Mao Wanli's problem may be more serious and must be handed over to the Chairman for disposal," Hong Zhiyou answered truthfully.
"With this trip to Jinhai, I believe the Chairman and Jianfeng will abandon the idea of assassinating Mr. Lin Tai. After all, your attitude, Madam, is clear enough.
"Whether out of sentiment or political considerations.
"You can rest assured."
He continued.
"Indeed.
"The Chairman and Jianfeng are the face of the Party and State, so let this matter end here.
"As for Mao Wanli, I will keep an eye on him, just as repaying this favor to you."
Madam Jiang knew the Chairman's difficulty and decided to stop while she was ahead.
"Thank you, Madam, for your understanding!" Hong Zhiyou bowed to thank her.
"Alright, tell Jianfeng I will return to Nanjing first to wait for his handling report.
"You must step up your work.
"As long as the country is not unified, the world cannot be peaceful.
"This cannot rely solely on the Chairman's wisdom and strength; everyone must work together."
The Madam said with expectation in her phoenix eyes.
"The subordinate obeys," Hong Zhiyou said.
"Go and report back," the Madam said.
Returning to Jinhai Station.
Hong Zhiyou immediately reported back to Jianfeng.
Jianfeng was overjoyed after hearing it, and as good as his word, he opened the wine on the spot and drank together.
"How should these two be dealt with?"
Mao Renfeng held his wine glass and asked.
"In my opinion, Li Ya is only an accomplice, and since Madam and Lin Tai are safe, demote him by one rank and give him a warning within the station.
"As for Mao Wanli, first relieve him of all duties.
"When Dai Li was alive, wasn't there an intention to send him abroad for further studies?
"It just so happens that North American intelligence technology is changing, and intelligence thinking and strategy are already ahead of us. I think it is better to take this opportunity to let Mao Wanli go to North America for further studies.
"It will also save him from hanging around Nanjing and being an eyesore to the Madam."
Jianfeng said after a moment of contemplation.
"Great.
"The subordinate thanks the superior for his great kindness on behalf of my younger brother."
Mao Renfeng quickly bowed to Jianfeng to thank him.
"Director Mao, no need to be polite.
"You are all working for the Party and State, how could I not know Director Mao's loyalty.
"Let's settle it this way.
"Having been in Jinhai for so many days, I should go back.
"There are many dishonest people in Nanjing, and my father is far away in the Northeast. The Party and State need us to guard the universe."
Jianfeng said with a smile and a sigh.
"Yes!" Everyone accepted the order together.
In the afternoon, Wu Jingzhong and Hong Zhiyou and others went to the airport to see off Jianfeng and Mao Renfeng.
Returning to the station.
Wu Jingzhong leaned on the sofa and said with a tired smile: "Alas, it is finally resolved satisfactorily. I can finally go home and hold the child for a while."
"Teacher, I don't think San Mao will dare to have any ideas about Jinhai in the short term.
"However, Director Mao is not a kind person, I'm afraid there will be no shortage of trouble in the future."
Hong Zhiyou served the cut fruit and placed it on the coffee table.
Wu Jingzhong sneered: "He is just short-sighted.
"Let him fight. At most, I will work for three more years, and then I will go to Xiangdao to retire.
"Who would still fight with him?
"Besides, Jianfeng will only go higher and higher. Mao Renfeng is just playing small tricks; he doesn't have the ability to kill me."
"With that from you, Teacher, I am relieved," Hong Zhiyou said.
"Have you thought of a name for the child?
"Your father has been taking so many days, how is it going?"
Wu Jingzhong was still very enlightened.
"He, soaking in the casino all day, where would he have time to name it.
"Teacher, you name it."
Hong Zhiyou said.
He had never had any good feelings for that "cheap father," so naturally, there was no closeness to speak of.
"Hmm, the nickname can follow what Ruirui took, call it Dou Dou.
"How about the formal name Hong Jin Feng?
"Golden and shining, a little phoenix with money."
Wu Jingzhong said the name he had been pondering for many days.
Fortunately, it was Phoenix, not Treasure.
However, can't it not be related to gold or money?
"Teacher, you decide," Hong Zhiyou said with a smile, looking very satisfied.
"Jin Feng, Jin Feng.
"It sounds like money."
Wu Jingzhong was overjoyed.
Arriving home.
Wu Jingzhong took the baby, and as soon as he announced the name, Wu Ruirui pulled a long face and snatched the child away: "Dad, can you stop naming things blindly? What Jin Feng?
"Is it not earthy enough?
"At least you are a dignified general, can't you take a more elegant name?
"Forget it, don't ponder blindly.
"Call it Hong Lele.
"Happy and joyful, that's enough."
Ruirui scolded Old Wu and made the decision on the spot.
Wu Jingzhong curled his lips, one hundred percent unhappy: "What do you know, how can you be happy without money?"
"Teacher, our family is not short of money anymore. If we have money, let's be happy secretly. Jin Feng is too ostentatious and easy to make people jealous," Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
"Alright.
"Call it whatever you want, I'm going to catch up on sleep."
Wu Jingzhong was deprived of the right to name and walked into the inner room with a straight face, very unhappy.
"Zhiyou.
"Don't pay attention to him, the older he gets, the more stubborn he becomes. Don't spoil him."
Mei Qiuju was afraid that Hong Zhiyou would be uneasy and said with a smile on the side.
"Thank you, Mom," Hong Zhiyou nodded and said.
The end of the year was approaching.
Hong Zhiyou fulfilled the heavy responsibility of raising US dollars.
Jinhai Station also ushered in a brief calm.
Hong Zhiyou and Old Wu went home early every day to hold the child and enjoy the family happiness.
New Year's Eve.
Hong Zhiyou and Ruirui held the child and returned to the small courtyard.
Wu Jingzhong was a person with human warmth.
He left the most important day of the year to the Hong family.
Ruirui also had the consciousness of being a daughter-in-law.
Although she didn't change her address, she called her uncle and aunt very sweetly, which made Hong Yaozu and his wife very happy.
"Lele, call aunt.
"Do you like the gift?"
Hong Xiaohui shook the rattle to tease the baby.
"Xiaohui, come out."
Hong Zhiyou called her to the courtyard.
"Xiaohui, do you know your brother's identity?" he asked.
"Know.
"You and your sister-in-law's family are all spies of the Confidential Bureau.
"Uncle Wu is also a big official, the most powerful person in Jinhai."
Hong Xiaohui raised her eyebrows, secretly glanced at him, and said in a low voice.
"Knowing that, you still walk so close to that Guo Youliang.
"Last time in the interrogation room, you also saw that the Confidential Bureau is not a kind place; that place eats human blood and demands human lives," Hong Zhiyou said.
"Brother, I know.
"But I'm not afraid," Hong Xiaohui said.
"Xiaohui, a person only has one life in this lifetime, can't you enjoy happiness and stop making trouble?
"The tragedies of Li Gongpu and Wen Yiduo a few months ago are still fresh in my memory.
"The Confidential Bureau doesn't care if you are a scholar or a student.
"They will shoot.
"Yes, brother has some ability in Jinhai, but it doesn't mean I can protect you."
Hong Zhiyou rarely saw her recently, so he could only fulfill his duty as an older brother.
"Brother.
"Life is not just about eating and drinking.
"Li and Wen fell, and there will be thousands of people to fight.
"It's the New Year, don't lecture me as soon as you come back.
"Don't worry, even if something happens, I won't add trouble to you."
She bit her lip, her eyes incomparably firm.
Yu Zecheng, who had just put on his clothes and walked out the door, saw the brother and sister arguing again, and was so scared that he hurriedly shrugged his shoulders innocently at Hong Zhiyou and quickly shrank back into the room.
"Alright, no arguing today.
"Then promise brother, don't go out to demonstrate recently, okay?
"In a while, a high-ranking inspector surnamed Lu might come to Jinhai.
"I know this person; he is ruthless, especially with a special prejudice and hatred for students. The station chief can tolerate you shouting slogans, but he may not.
"He will... kill people."
Hong Zhiyou took a slight breath and reached out to gently stroke her hair.
He received the news.
In January, Zheng Jiemin officially took office as Vice Minister of National Defense and Director of the Second Department.
Lu Qiaoshan was also promoted.
Appointed as Deputy Director of the Sixth Division of the Second Department and concurrently Director of the Intelligence Section.
With Old Lu's temperament.
Since he had released words to mess with the station chief and Li Ya, he would definitely kill his way back to Jinhai.
This is a murderous demon.
"I'm not afraid," Hong Xiaohui bit her lip stubbornly.
"Alright, good luck.
"I still have to go to the City Defense Bureau for a meeting, leaving."
Hong Zhiyou gently patted the snowflakes that fell on her hair.
"Brother, wait."
Hong Xiaohui returned to the room, took a hat, and also carried a scarf that was not very good-looking in her hand.
"This scarf was woven by me in my spare time. The stitches are a bit messy, but it's a little bit of heart.
"For you."
Hong Xiaohui stood on tiptoe and tied it around his neck.
"Thanks."
Hong Zhiyou smiled and turned away.
Just walked to the door, he heard Xiaohui shout:
"Brother, thank you!"
Hong Zhiyou didn't look back. Turning the corner, he shook his head slightly and sighed.
Xiaohui had already been reported to headquarters.
He was not too worried about her red component now.
He just didn't want this fresh life to be sacrificed in vain.
Nanjing.
Lu Qiaoshan sat on the leather sofa, carefully reading the files. When he turned to the family files submitted by the Confidential Bureau, and saw Hong Xiaohui's suspected red status, a sneer could not help but rise from the corner of his mouth.
Hong Xiaohui?
Little red devil!
Don't fall into my hands, otherwise, I will deal with you all.
He put the materials into the file bag and handed it to the secretary on the side:
"These people need to be monitored.
"The July Li and Wen incident, public opinion is very unfavorable to us, especially the local Confidential Bureaus letting students take to the streets to demonstrate. The Chairman is very dissatisfied with this.
"Jinhai has many universities and many foreigners, and it has always been a high-incidence area for student riots.
"Mao Renfeng doesn't care, Wu Jingzhong doesn't care, the Second Department must vigorously rectify it.
"You help me go through it, no problem, I want to present it to Vice Minister Zheng in person."
"Yes, Director Lu." The subordinate accepted the order, read it once, and flattered him a lot.
After a pause, he reported in a low voice:
"Director Lu, the person named Sheng Xiang outside has been waiting for a long time, do you want to see him?"
"Let him hang there for now," Lu Qiaoshan didn't even lift his head, closed his fountain pen, put it in his pocket, and got up.
After coming to Nanjing.
Lu Qiaoshan was, after all, a person with guilt, and for a long time, he was not successful and could not get in touch with the core departments of the Sixth Division of the Second Department, so he couldn't get any useful intelligence.
No intelligence means no profit.
His relationship with Sheng Xiang naturally became distant, and almost cut off contact.
But now.
He was already a deputy director and director of the intelligence section, and he had a lot of dry goods in his hands.
Obviously, this dog thief Sheng Xiang smelled the scent and came to ask for "bones" to eat.
"Brother Shan."
Seeing Lu Qiaoshan walk out, Sheng Xiang, who was sitting in the corridor, hurriedly got up to greet him.
Lu Qiaoshan didn't even look at him, took the thick cloak handed by the secretary, shook it, put it on, and stepped down the stairs coldly and arrogantly in his shiny leather shoes.
"Brother Shan, Brother Shan."
Sheng Xiang chased again, but Lu Qiaoshan had already boarded the car and left.
Lu Qiaoshan had no time to pay attention to Sheng Xiang at this moment.
He had been waiting for an opportunity to return to Jinhai.
But it was not convenient to say it explicitly.
After all, Zheng Jiemin gave him high officials and thick salaries, and now he is considered a figure.
But the more this is the case, the more he wants to return to Jinhai to show off in front of people.
Especially to show off in front of Li Ya and Wu Jingzhong.
Buddha fights for a stick of incense, people fight for a breath.
Without letting out this breath, he would never be at peace in his life.
This anti-student union is a good opportunity.
