Chapter 120 Lu Qiao's Scheme in the Mountain

Chapter 120 Lu Qiao's Scheme in the Mountain

"Brother Shan, are you busy?" Hong Zhiyou leaned over and asked with a smile.

"Didn't you go to a meeting with the stationmaster?
"Why didn't you eat together?"

Lu Qiaoshan looked at his watch, closed the pen cap and asked.

“Working meals are inconvenient.

"Besides, once Boss Dai sits at the head, all the delicacies from land and sea will no longer be appealing to us." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.

"oops.

“I haven’t slept well these past few days, and I have to go to the Military Police Headquarters at noon to urge Commander Fang to submit his investigation report on Tang Wu.

“These guys are such a drag.

“The evidence from the photos is irrefutable, but they are still investigating again and again, just looking for trouble.

"Brother Shan, do you mind if I ask you for a cup of coffee?"

Hong Zhiyou kept his hands on the red document and stood up to pour a cup of coffee.

"certainly.

“Who are we? From now on, you can treat this as your own cafe.

"Come and get it whenever you want."

Lu Qiaoshan smiled gently.

“Thank you, Brother Shan.

"To be honest, I just like coming to your place.

"Human."

Hong Zhiyou leaned in and smiled flatteringly, then slapped the document on the table:
“Oh, busy every day.

“It’s exhausting.

"Boss Dai is finally gone!"

"Top secret. It's not easy for the boss to stay in Jinhai for so many days." Lu Qiaoshan asked with a smile after taking a look.

As soon as Hong Zhi entered the door, he set his eyes on this document.

Dai Li’s secret mission to Jinhai was definitely heavyweight intelligence.

If this thing is put on the black market, it would be worth at least five gold bars, or a starting price of three thousand US dollars.

I have to find a way to get a hold of it.

“What’s top secret?

“Now every document is top secret.

"Believe it or not, even if Boss Dai farts, he has to be labeled with these two words?"

Hong Zhiyou laughed softly.

"Brother, you are very brave to criticize Boss Dai."

Lu Qiaoshan pointed at him and smiled, then sighed:
“Yes, there is a lot of information flying around on the black market right now.

“What is top secret or not.

"Believe it or not, Hongpiao will know what happened here tomorrow morning."

Hong Zhiyou nodded in agreement: “It’s entirely possible.

“It’s not easy to do this job, brother.

“Well done, it’s what you should do.

"There's a leak, and you still have to take the responsibility. It's really not easy."

"Brother, you really understand me." Lu Qiaoshan nodded his chin slightly, showing a sense of mutual admiration.

“I don’t understand, can I be a brother to you?

"Let's go. It's late. Section Chief Qin of the Confidential Office should be off work. We need to file it."

Hong Zhiyou put down the unfinished coffee cup and stood up to leave.

Lu Qiaoshan watched the information fly away with his eyes wide open, his mouth twitching in anxiety.

But there are rules in the station.

No matter how good his relationship with Hong Zhi is, he must not ask about or pry into the contents.

Otherwise, the information would have to be "stealed".

Just as he was getting anxious, Hong Zhiyou suddenly frowned and cried out "Ouch".

"Zhiyou, what's wrong?"

Lu Qiaoshan asked hurriedly.

“Maybe there’s something wrong with the pear paste I just ate on the roadside.

“My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable.

“No, I have to go to the bathroom.

"Brother Shan, please help me run a trip and hand the documents to Director Qin.

“It’s too late, I’m afraid.

"We need a receipt from headquarters!"

Hong Zhi said with a painful look on his face.

"Brother, this is against the rules.

"You said this is going to be leaked. Is it yours or mine?" Lu Qiaoshan looked embarrassed.

"Too.

"Brother Shan is right. I'd better send it myself."

Hong Zhi had already handed out a document, but he took it back.

Made.

You want to make money by selling information, but you can't even stick to the pan. What good is that?

Hong Zhiyou walked to the door, held the threshold, and retracted his hips, his face almost turning blue.

"oops.

"Look at you, if you don't go, you should pull up your trouser pockets.

“We are all family, I’ll give it to you.

"If anything goes wrong, remember Brother Shan's words and say a few good words to him later."

Just after giving the gift to Ke Shufen, Lu Qiaoshan, who was in urgent need of funds, quickly grabbed the documents.

"Okay, thank you Brother Shan."

Hong Zhiyou covered his stomach and staggered towards the toilet.

Lu Qiaoshan stood at the door.

I saw him turning the corner.

He quickly closed the door and took out the miniature camera from the drawer.

open a file.

Shocking and explosive information.

Click!

Click!

He quickly took a photo of the document, including the seal, date and other things to prove its authenticity.

Finished shooting.

He hid his camera, closed the document and hurried to the confidential room.

Arrived at the door.

Section Chief Qin was about to get off work.

"Director Lu, what are you doing?" asked Section Chief Qin.

“Top secret documents, kept in the blue cabinet.

"After saving, send a receipt to headquarters."

Lu Qiaoshan picked up the document and handed it in through the window of the iron fence.

"OK.

"I'll do it right away." Section Chief Qin picked up the document and walked inside.

Lu Qiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned back to the office and dialed Sheng Xiang's number:
"Where are the people?
"What a shit job! You run faster than a rabbit.

"Go to Fuyun Teahouse and wait for me."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qiaoshan hid the camera, quickly went downstairs and drove away.

Hong Zhiyou came out of the bathroom.

Standing at the fence at the corner, watching the car go away.

Leaving in such a hurry.

It seems that Lao Lu has succeeded.

A playful smile appeared on Hong Zhiyou's lips. He went downstairs and drove to find a public telephone booth. He called Lao Xie and made an appointment at the Hongsheng Teahouse, which he often visited.

Entered the private room and waited for the dishes to be served.

Xie Ruolin arrived late.

"Old Xie, you're late. That's not like you." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.

“I’m… I’m sorry.

"Recently, a lot of things have happened at the same time. There is too much intelligence and a lot of information that needs to be sorted out. I am busy with this.

“It’s true.

“This line of water… the water is too deep.

“There’s a lot of false information and a lot of noise, but you have to pay first.

"If someone doesn't follow the rules, you give him money and he...he runs away."

Xie Ruolin sat down and poured himself some tea.

"Now you know how happy Lao Yu and I are." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.

“That, that is.

"Da Jinhaicheng, in my heart, you, you two are closer to me than... my real father." Xie Ruolin laughed.

“I just like you to find me.

"Tell me, what's the good news?"

He licked his lips and asked impatiently.

"You know Sheng Xiang, right?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"know.

"You are the traders at Jinhai Station." Xie Ruolin picked up a pig's ear with chopsticks and chewed it until it was crunchy.

“He has intelligence on Dai Li’s secret mission to Jinhai.

“Go bargain and buy it.

"I'll let Lao Yu find you then."

Hong Zhi has the Tao.

"No, you are the stationmaster's secretary. How could such important information fall into Sheng Xiang's hands?" Xie Ruolin expressed his incomprehension.

“I told you, I don’t touch this stuff.

“Some things cost more.

"Just asking for peace."

Hong Zhiyou poured him a glass of wine.

The advantage of this era is that there are fewer cars.

And...you can drink and drive.

When the police saw someone driving a car, they hid faster than rabbits.

"Easy to say.

“But let me make it clear first, the price will definitely be high.

"I won't hide it from you, brother. No matter what price you offer, you still have to pay the capital. I will at least make a big yellow croaker from you, plus two hundred dollars."

Xie Ruolin said very bluntly.

"Deal!" Hong Zhiyou responded readily.

“That’s refreshing.

"How about we be friends or relatives?" Xie Ruolin raised his glass and clinked it with Hong Zhiyou.

"When did we become relatives?" Hong Zhi didn't understand.

"Liu...Liu Shan is my distant cousin.

“He called me uncle.

"If your sister is dating him, won't she have to call me cousin...uncle in the future?"

Xie Ruolin laughed dryly with smugness.

"I wonder why this boy has such good vision.

"It turns out that there is an expert like you guiding us from behind." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.

"Hi.

"I've put so much effort into this, just to get closer to you, brother." Xie Ruolin stopped pretending.

“Thank you.

“With your integrity, there’s no need to get close to you.

“We are also a family.

"Let me put it this way, I trust you more than I trust my father."

Hong Zhiyou speaks the truth.

“Understanding people.

"You see, in this world, there are many cases where fathers are not kind to their children and their children are not filial to their parents. There are many cases where their daughters are sold and their parents starve to death.

“Only…only money is the real father and the filial son.

“It can give you whatever you want.”

Xie Ruolin tilted his head and talked about the philosophy of life.

"Brother, you are professional and your words are nice." Hong Zhiyou really liked to hear it.

“How can it sound nice?

“These are all bloody life experiences.

"My parents were killed by the Japanese, and I...my relatives all stayed away from them. In their eyes, I was worse than a dog.

"Now, I'm an official, and people are coming to me from their hometowns.

"I'll screw them!"

Xie Ruolin snorted disdainfully and continued:
“So, money is this thing.

“Even if you do, others may still look down on you.

“But if you don’t have it, people will definitely look down on you.

"Can you not?"

"Insightful, thorough and profound!" Hong Zhiyou gave a thumbs up sincerely.

"Hey, sorry for laughing.

"I can only talk to you, my brother, about my innermost thoughts.

"No more talking, let's drink.

Xie Ruolin smiled pretentiously.

At checkout.

“Brother, we are family.

“I have to treat you to dinner today.

"Don't grab it. I'll be angry with anyone who grabs it."

This guy rushed to the counter, touching his pocket here and there to waste time.

"okay.

"I've already paid the bill." Hong Zhiyou smiled generously.

"Ah!" "Brother, didn't you say so earlier?"

Xie Ruolin felt a bit embarrassed.

"Hurry up and do your job. Director Yu will come to see you in the evening." Hong Zhiyou patted his shoulder.

"rest assured."

Xie Ruolin blinked and smiled, then left in a cool manner with his briefcase.

……

night.

Hong Zhiyou had dinner before going to Yu Zecheng's house.

“Zhiyou is here.

"Hurry, I guessed you would come today, so I fried a big portion."

Cuiping greeted.

“No, sister-in-law.

"I've eaten. Look at my belly, it's as round as Zhu Bajie's."

Hong Zhiyou didn't want to "suffer", so he spoke quickly.

"Okay." Cuiping stopped persuading her.

Chat for a while.

When Cuiping went to wash the dishes, Hong Zhiyou whispered:
"Lao Yu, it's time to pay the balance you owe to Lao Xie.

"I met him on the road today, and he specifically mentioned it."

"Oh, then, it's time to get married." Yu Zecheng understood.

"Cui Ping, I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."

He took the bag and was about to leave.

Hong Zhiyou grabbed him, opened the bag and took a look: "One thousand dollars is not enough."

"Brother, I'm really out of money.

"Yong Jianqiu went overseas, and no one asked me to do anything.

“I don’t have the nerve to specifically pick people and knock them over.

"How about you lend me some?"

Yu Zecheng requested in a low voice.

“It’s already prepared for you.

"Remember to return it to me."

Hong Zhiyou took out two gold bars from his pocket and put three thousand US dollars in his bag.

Anyway, the money comes from the station.

It would be a waste if you don’t take it.

Yu Zecheng took the money and went straight to Xie Ruolin's house.

Old Xie has been waiting for a long time.

"This is the balance from last time." Yu Zecheng was as taciturn as ever.

"I, I have some new information here about Dai Li's secret mission to Jinhai. Would you like to take a look?" Xie Ruolin asked with a smile.

"Why am I looking at these?"

Yu Zecheng's heart beat faster, but he just smiled faintly.

“Don’t be nervous.

“No one cares who you buy or sell to except the chairman.

“We’re old acquaintances, I’ll give you a discount.

"If you do it again, you will definitely make money."

Xie Ruolin didn't talk to him about politics, but went straight to the topic of money.

"Can you really make money?" Yu Zecheng asked as he walked down the stairs.

“Really.

"Not much, at least half a year's salary for you." Xie Ruolin tilted his head, rubbed his fingers and smiled.

"Row.

“I, let me take a look.

"You name the price."

Yu Zecheng nodded in a money-grubbing way.

"not much.

"You give me two gold bars, three thousand dollars!"

Xie Ruolin raised his eyebrows.

"Please pull it off.

“Three thousand dollars can buy a villa.

"Cheaper."

Yu Zecheng bargained.

"Don't.

“You should have seen my sincerity in the last transaction.

“I earn my conscience money.

"You, you cut me, you have no conscience."

Xie Ruolin said nonchalantly, shaking his head.

"All right.

"It's not easy for you either. Deal."

Yu Zecheng didn't bargain anymore and took out the money and handed it to him.

Xie Ruolin took out the developed photos and gave them to him with the light behind him.

"Thanks."

Yu Zecheng put it in his bag and walked out quickly.

……

back home.

Yu Zecheng asked, "Cui Ping, has Zhi left?"

“Just left.

"She went to the club to look for Mrs. Ji." Cuiping said.

"Why.

"This kid has given me a difficult problem."

Yu Zecheng looked through the photos and frowned.

"There are words all over this photo. What do they say?" Cuiping asked.

“Dai Li came to Jinhai on a secret mission.

“Only Commander Chen, Commander Mou, and the stationmaster have the minutes.

"Where did you get this guy from?"

Yu Zecheng was also confused.

"Never mind him, just read to me what you wrote?" Cuiping urged.

“It’s said above.

“Dai Li sent spies to the border areas.

“The weapons were packed and shipped to the Northeast.

"These are all very important information."

Yu Zecheng said briefly.

"ah.

"Well, why are you still standing there? Find a way to send it out quickly." Cuiping was anxious.

“How to send it?
“The traffic stop has been destroyed.

"Mr. Yong is not here either."

Yu Zecheng said depressedly.

"What should we do?" Cuiping smacked her lips, at a loss as to what to do.

I just regret that I have such great skills in vain.

When I came to this damn place, I was left staring blankly.

"Go downstairs and keep an eye on it. I'll make a phone call."

After a moment's silence, Yu Zecheng suddenly had an idea.

It's not that there is no solution.

Prefectural Committee.

Military Mediation Office.

These can all be linked to the organization.

Forget about the Prefectural Committee.

The traffic station collapsed, and the situation over there probably won’t be much better.

The only option is Red Ticket Army Mediation.

When he got upstairs, Yu Zecheng picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Military Mediation Office:

"Hello.

"I'm Gao Rong from Jinhai Daily. Can I ask for Ms. Zuo Lan?"

Soon, Zuo Lan's warm yet powerful voice came from the other end.

“Left representative.

“The article you asked me to help publish did not pass review.

“The editor-in-chief said some of the words were too sharp and not conducive to the current negotiation atmosphere.

“How about we meet and you revise it based on my opinion.

“Yes, I will apply for the front page for you tonight.

“It can still be on the morning paper tomorrow.

"You want to consult your leader, right? OK, I'll wait for your call back."

hang up the phone.

Yu Zecheng sat on a stool, tapping his forehead with his hands clasped together.

He knew the call was most likely being tapped.

But he had strict conditions for "dating" Zuo Lan.

The two of them had a past in the mountain city, and both Ma Kui and the stationmaster knew about it.

Old love rekindles, they meet secretly in a hotel, and even fight for each other.

These reasons are valid.

Now he was worried that Zuo Lan didn't trust him and was unwilling to come out.

Then the information will be lost.

……

Business Association Hall.

Zuo Lan walked into the yard in a hurry.

Deng Ming is drinking tea.

"Director, I have something to report to you." Zuo Lan said.

Deng Ming glanced around and nodded, "Tell me what's the matter."

“Gao Rong of Jinhai Daily.

"It's Yu Zecheng whom I mentioned to you last time, the one that Old Lu tried to win over but failed.

"He called me out of the blue and asked me to go to Rose's Cafe.

"I-I'm afraid this is a trap."

Zuo Lan's tone was a little hesitant.

Deng Ming was silent for a moment.

Zuo Lan mentioned Yu Zecheng last time.

After asking Bian Bao to no avail, he then consulted Ke Gong.

Ke Gong called back and said that Yu Zecheng was the key figure lurking in Jinhai on Line 1, Emei Peak, and was trustworthy.

According to organizational discipline, this kind of top-secret information cannot be told to Zuo Lan openly.

At present, the Jinhai underground transportation station has been destroyed.

Jiang Aimei and Huang Zhong were in danger again.

Yu Zecheng came suddenly.

There must be important information that needs to be delivered urgently.

“You go meet him.

"Today, the KMT and the CPC are still cooperating. Didn't you dance at the social gathering today?
“Go meet him.

"I don't think Wu Jingzhong can say anything."

Deng Ming said after careful consideration.

"Well, then I'll go meet him." Zuo Lan said.

“Well, we have our people at Rose’s Cafe.

"Mr. Guan, who is soliciting customers and collecting drinks at the front desk, is one of our people.

“He will protect you secretly.

"Go."

Deng Ming nodded.

"Okay, Director."

Zuo Lan went back to his room, packed up briefly, took his gun, went out, hailed a rickshaw, and headed straight for Rose's Cafe.

……

Jinhai Station.

Action Team Office.

Sun Xing walked in quickly and said to Ma Kui who was drinking alone:
"Captain, something's up."

"What's wrong?"

Magui's face turned red from drinking.

The recent series of failures has dealt a heavy blow to his confidence and ambition.

Jiang Aimei's tongue is gone.

Fishing is totally out of the question.

Now Boss Dai has gone to Qingdao again, and there is no one in Jinhai to support him.

He is now alone and powerless.

He also has to find a way to prove his innocence and clean up the shit that Huang Zhong has thrown.

A heart loyal to the Party and the country.

I want to kill the enemy, but I am powerless to do anything about it.

"Zuo Lan just left the Shangquan Hall and went to Rose's Cafe." Sun Xing said.

“Rose Cafe?

"Could it be an exchange of information?"

Ma Kui narrowed his eyes and made up his mind.
