Chapter 43 To untie the bell, one must tie it
Ning Changde knew it was Xiang Chu, so he went forward and opened the door himself.
He said with a smile: "Xiao Xiang! Please come in."
Ning Changde was in a good mood today, with a smile on his face.
Xiang Chu handed him the cowhide envelope and said with a smile:
"Vice-Chairman! This is disrespectful."
Ning Changde opened it and took a look. He was overjoyed. He didn't expect Xiang Chu to send so much at once. He said with a smile on his face:
"Xiao Xiang! Why are you so polite to me?"
"Without your cultivation, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Xiang Chu said sincerely, then changed the subject and lowered his voice,
"Director! It's being said outside that Dai Zhengtong has gotten into a big disaster."
Ning Changde handed a copy of the Jinling Times to Xiang Chu and said happily:
"You must not know that you went out to catch Japanese spies early in the morning. Look at what this uncle and nephew did! Humph! I want to see how that guy steps down this time."
Xiang Chu pretended to be extremely shocked and flipped through the newspaper, exclaiming:
"This generation of Zhengtong actually shot and injured people multiple times, and even arrested the boss. This is simply lawless."
"I just don't understand why Dai Zhengtong is so stingy that he doesn't even want to spend 5 yuan and cause such a big incident."
Ning Changde said with interest, paused, and suddenly stared at Xiang Chu, smiling,
Xiao Xiang! What on earth happened to Dai Zhengtong yesterday? He actually fired three shots. "
Xiang Chu was startled, feeling that there was something else behind his words. Of course he knew that he was also a very powerful figure. He had stood firm in the Military Intelligence Department, so it was impossible for him not to have his own spies.
Thinking of this, Xiang Chu simply said tacitly:
"Director! Actually, the whole thing is like this. Yesterday, I was on my way back from a field mission with my squad, and I saw Dai Zhengtong driving after Lieutenant Ning. I got out of the car to protect Lieutenant Ning and took her to the 'West Guest House' coffee shop to hide from Dai Zhengtong. But Dai Zhengtong chased after her into the coffee shop again..."
Xiang Chu recounted the entire process, of course omitting those details that were unfavorable to himself and Ning Caiwei.
"Is there such a thing? This is really too much! You did the right thing."
Ning Changde stood up angrily after hearing this and paced back and forth in the office.
He had never thought that Dai Zhengtong, that ugly guy, would dare to set his sights on his beautiful niece. He did not know that many young talents and sons of high-ranking officials would not be favored by Ning Caiwei. He immediately ordered:
"Xiao Xiang! Call Caiwei up here quickly. I want to ask her something. Oh, right? You haven't reported to the Japanese spy yet."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "I'll report right away! And watch his joke while I'm at it."
"Go! Go! That guy was so angry that he smashed several cups. Let's see if he can stop smashing."
Ning Changde became suspicious of Xiang Chu, worried that he also wanted to get his hands on his beloved niece.
Xiang Chu came out of Ning Changde's room, went down to the second floor, and came to the telecommunications equipment room.
Ning Caiwei was still pretending to organize her things, and when she saw him coming over, she asked hurriedly:
"What did my uncle say?"
"This is not good!"
Xiang Chu recounted Ning Changde's reaction after he said that.
Ning Caiwei said angrily, "What's wrong with that? I have the final say over my own affairs."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "My goddess! He just suspected it, he didn't really think that we were together."
"Yes! You are right. If I get angry, I will say that I have done that."
Ning Caiwei deliberately said something nonsense, stuffed the cowhide envelope into the stunned man, and pushed him out of the door, saying with a smile,
"Let's split up!"
"OK!"
Xiang Chu made a gesture and ran to the third floor.
Ren Jie was standing by the door of Dainong's office, listening to the noise inside.
When he saw Xiang Chu coming over, he said coldly, "The director is angry, how dare you meet him?"
"I have something important to report!"
Xiang Chu smiled, walked forward and knocked on the door, shouting a report.
"Come in!"
Dai Nong's voice rang out, startling Ren Jie.
Xiang Chu opened the door and walked in, but there was nowhere to stay.
The floor was littered with broken porcelain pieces, file boxes, documents, etc.
Dai Nong sat in the office chair with a gloomy face, staring at Xiang Chu.
Xiang Chu pretended to be a little scared and said in a neither loud nor low voice:
"Director! I just captured a Japanese spy and seized some useful things. I came here to give them to you as a gift."
After saying this, he walked up and put the leather envelope on Dainong's desk regardless of whether Dainong agreed or not.
Moreover, the envelope was open, allowing him to see the glittering gold bars and dazzling jewels at a glance.
Sure enough, the greedy Dai Nong was immediately in a good mood after seeing these, and sighed:
"Alas! Seeing you stand out so much, I regret that I shouldn't have brought Zhengtong to my side."
Xiang Chu followed his words and said, "Director! Zhengtong and I were good friends when we were in the military academy. His expertise lies in logistics statistics, civil engineering, and interpersonal coordination. I think he will definitely be able to achieve great things if he goes to the Military Service Department, the Logistics Department, or the Military Affairs Department."
Dai Nong remained silent, threw a crumpled copy of the Jinling Times in front of Xiang Chu, and said coldly:
"Tell me! How do we solve this problem?"
Xiang Chu was shocked, thinking that this old fox already knew the whole story clearly.
In that case, there is nothing to be afraid of. If this Dai Nong wants to attack me, then I will kill him now and then take Ning Caiwei back to the cave.
Xiang Chu picked up the newspaper, pretended to read it, bowed and apologized:
"Deputy! I am also responsible for this matter. After Ning Caiwei left yesterday, I also left. I shouldn't have left Zheng Yi alone in the coffee shop, which led to such a big incident later."
Seeing that Dai Nong didn't say anything, he continued, "But don't worry, this matter is easy to solve."
“How to solve it?!”
Dai Nong said in a low voice.
Xiang Chu glanced at the report signature and said with a smile:
"I immediately went to find this reporter Niu Feng and asked him to rewrite a report and admit that he had distorted the facts. In fact, he had indeed distorted the facts. I had already paid for Zhengtong's coffee, so why were they still asking Zhengtong for money?"
Xiang Chu knew that Dainong could also send someone to find the reporter, but no one could do it as well as himself and Ning Caiwei who were at the scene.
The reason why Dai Nong was angry was because it was difficult to confront Ning Changde.
The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it! Xiang Chu must be the peacemaker.
Dai Nong was immediately relieved and nodded, saying, "Okay! Go find this awesome reporter right away and don't kill anyone, otherwise it will be even more disastrous."
He paused and continued, "I also want to say that Dai Zhengtong is neither my nephew nor a member of the Military Intelligence Department. Anyway, Zhengtong can't stay in the department, otherwise something bigger will happen."
"Yes!"
Xiang Chu saluted and was about to leave.
Dai Nong was in a good mood and asked, "Where is the Japanese spy you caught being held?"
Xiang Chu was glad that he didn't listen to Xie Xingzhi's suggestion to put him in the Operations Department, and quickly replied, "Go back to the Director! Put him in the interrogation room of the Torture Department, and Captain Zhang Changsheng will watch over him. Don't let the Japanese spy sleep, and then I will hypnotize him and extract information from him."
Dai Nong naturally knew Xiang Chu's ability to hypnotize people, and he nodded immediately and said, "Very good! You must interrogate more valuable intelligence and dig out the 'mole' lurking in the party, government, and military, especially in the department."
"I will definitely live up to your trust!"
Xiang Chu shouted in a decisive tone and turned to leave the office.
He went straight to the telecommunications equipment room on the second floor, but didn't see Ning Caiwei, so he knew she was still with Ning Changde.
He must not go to Ning Changde's place on the third floor at this time. If he happens to meet Dai Nong, all his efforts will be wasted.
The only thing to do now is to find the reporter named Niu Feng as soon as possible and resolve the matter satisfactorily.
