"You will get retribution!"

Ma Kui glanced coldly at Lu Qiaoshan and walked with his gun to the unarmed common people.

Bang, bang!

Ma Kui pulled the trigger continuously.

One shot each.

Poor people, they didn't understand what was happening before they went to the Yellow Springs unjustly.

Click!

Lu Qiaoshan was excitedly taking pictures on the side.

A total of two sets of photos.

One set with the old and the young.

One set with the strong young men.

"Ma Kui, Ma Kui, let's see how you jump now!

"Carry them away!"

After taking the photos, Lu Qiaoshan sneered gloomily and got into the car.

Jinhai Station.

After Wu Jingzhong received Lu Qiaoshan's call, he immediately summoned Hong Zhiyou and Yu Zecheng.

"Two of you, Ma Kui successfully wiped out the Red Tickets.

"The printing plant has also been broken.

"Those who should be killed have been killed, and those who should be caught have been caught.

"The trouble now is how to explain it to the Special Commissioner and have him write a report for us."

Wu Jingzhong rubbed his forehead with a headache.

"Station Master, why not send some gifts to Commissioner Wang?" Yu Zecheng suggested.

Wu Jingzhong paced with his hands behind his back and sighed, shaking his head: "Not stable; sending gifts depends on the person.

"If you send it wrong, that's actively handing over a handle.

"I'm not familiar with Wang Puchen, and he is Mao Renfeng's confidant.

"Regarding Mao Sen's matter last time, I already have a rift with Second Mao.

"If there's another bribery, I'm afraid I'll be in deep trouble, with the crime compounded."

"Zhiyou, what do you think?"

Yu Zecheng turned and threw the difficult problem to Hong Zhiyou.

Truly my good Third Brother... Hong Zhiyou said in a deep voice:

"Station Master, I think Commissioner Wang will cooperate."

"Oh? Tell me." Wu Jingzhong asked in surprise.

The Station Master didn't understand Wang Puchen, but Hong Zhiyou did.

Wang Puchen was low-key, shrewd, and cautious.

He focused on doing his job well without making enemies.

Just like his personality, silent, taciturn, completing tasks by any means necessary; Ma Hansan was truly paralyzed by him and sold out in the end.

When Fu Zuoyi prepared to surrender, many people didn't believe it.

Wang Puchen keenly sensed the danger and successfully withdrew before Beiping was liberated.

It shows this person knows how to judge the situation.

Right now, Dai Li was getting close to the Americans, thinking all day about serving as the Navy Commander-in-Chief, urgently needing merit to show his face before the Chairman.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be the joke about preparing a celebration banquet for Wu Jingzhong.

This job in Jinhai was an opportunity for both Wu Jingzhong and Dai Li.

Whoever dared to stir up muddy water was seeking death.

A smart person like Wang Puchen naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Wu Jingzhong was confused by being in the situation; the matter was too big, and he lost his sense of proportion for a moment.

Otherwise, it would be impossible not to see through this point.

"Station Master, I think Commissioner Wang is probably more panicked than us right now!" Hong Zhiyou pointed out lightly.

Wu Jingzhong's eyes sharpened, and the smile on his face gradually bloomed:

"Zhiyou is right.

"I'm anxious, he's anxious, Boss Dai is even more anxious!"

"But it's not appropriate for me to talk about this personally; you go." Wu Jingzhong pointed at Hong Zhiyou.

"Yes, Station Master." Hong Zhiyou nodded.

"Zecheng, you go to the warehouse and pick some good things to put in the Commissioner's car," Wu Jingzhong's eyes turned, and he came up with another plan.

It was very clear that the old fox wanted to stay out of it.

Not giving Wang Puchen a chance to grab a handle or excuse.

Even if it exploded later, he could still hit Wang Puchen back, saying he privately colluded with Secretary Hong to accept bribes and deceive his superiors.

Hong Zhiyou greeted Wu Jingzhong's family in his heart and walked quickly to the reception room.

Wang Puchen was smoking, his eyes full of fatigue.

He was very conflicted now.

Before coming, Mao Renfeng had repeatedly instructed him that once he grabbed Wu Jingzhong's little tail, he should immediately report to the General Headquarters Inspection Office.

He must win back that round regarding Mao Sen.

At the very least, he had to transfer Wu Jingzhong away from Jinhai and let his own people take over this piece of fat meat.

However, Boss Dai's instruction was: assist and supervise Wu Jingzhong in winning the battle.

A victory.

Only victory was allowed, no defeat.

Boss Dai wanted merit, Director Mao wanted fault.

Wang Puchen was inclined toward the latter in his heart.

Once Boss Dai was promoted, Director Mao would very likely take charge of the Military Statistics Bureau.

Reasonably and emotionally, he should side with his fellow townsman.

"Commissioner Wang!" Hong Zhiyou stepped forward and greeted him.

"Secretary Hong, sit.

"I know you; you handled the case of Station Master Mao well last time.

"Zhou Xiangxian spoke highly of you.

"You are also from Hangzhou, right?"

Wang Puchen coughed a few times and asked with a friendly smile.

"Thank you, Commissioner; I am from Hangzhou," Hong Zhiyou replied respectfully.

"Then we are fellow townsmen.

"Where is Station Master Wu?" Wang Puchen asked.

"He's getting on in years and really couldn't hold on, so he went to rest first; it's just hard on Commissioner Wang.

"Regarding the report, I hope..."

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

"I've already drafted the report; you take a look."

Wang Puchen handed him the handwritten report.

Hong Zhiyou was terrified after reading it.

The report was accurate to the word, reporting everything.

Even worse, Wang Puchen added a sentence: suspecting that there were Red Ticket spies in the Jinhai Station, colluding with the Yong family.

The thing the Station Master worried about most had happened.

Mission failed, plus spies.

If these two things were reported to the General Headquarters Inspection Office, I'm afraid even Boss Dai couldn't protect Wu Jingzhong's rice bowl.

After all, Jinhai was the top priority of the Party-State.

Not only Wu Jingzhong, but the entire Jinhai Station would have to be bled and rebuilt.

Wang Puchen was observing Hong Zhiyou's expression in secret.

But he saw this secretary put down the report and smile indifferently:

"Commissioner Wang hasn't sent it yet; I suppose you have considerations."

"Then tell me, what are my considerations?" Wang Puchen asked with interest.

"You are worried about whether you want your future or your head," Hong Zhiyou said.

Wang Puchen's eyes turned cold instantly: "Want my head?"

"That's right.

"Director Mao is your classmate; this is an opportunity for you.

"If you bet right, your future is limitless.

"But don't forget, as long as Boss Dai is here for one day, the Military Statistics Bureau is surnamed Dai, not Mao.

"The moment you send this telegram, it will be your death date."

Hong Zhiyou said sonorously.

Wang Puchen looked at him coldly; cold sweat had already seeped out on his back.

Hong Zhiyou stared back at him without fear.

"But knowing and not reporting, according to family rules, you know the consequences," Wang Puchen spat and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, saying vaguely.

"Since it's family rules, they were set by the head of the family."

Hong Zhiyou smiled, poured a cup of tea for Wang Puchen, and said in a humble and warm tone:

"Military mediation is about to start.

"Boss Dai and the Chairman need good news.

"Not to mention the Jinhai Station made a great merit.

"Even if the Jinhai Station was bombed by Red Tickets and washed in blood, you still have to report that Jinhai is peaceful and Wu Jingzhong made a miraculous merit.

"Hong has said all he can.

"Future or head, Commissioner Wang, you decide!"

Wang Puchen looked at him silently.

Before leaving, Boss Dai's cold, sharp gaze made him tremble inexplicably.

Hong Zhiyou was right.

Jinhai was a mine.

Whoever stepped on it would die.

The best way was to let it be buried underground forever, never to see the light of day.

"You just said you made a great merit.

"Tell me about it." Wang Puchen exhaled smoke and said in a deep voice.

Hong Zhiyou told him about the merits of Ma Kui "bravely killing the enemy," Section Chief Lu's accurate intelligence, pulling out the Red Ticket printing plant, and shooting dead several "backbone key members" of the District Committee.

Wang Puchen felt goosebumps all over his body.

In order to keep his rice bowl, Wu Jingzhong didn't want any face or bottom line at all.

He was using every possible means.

He even suspected that if he sent this report, he would have to be shot by Wu Jingzhong and buried with him before it reached Beiping.
