Chapter 167: Ginger is still spicier when old
Arrived at the store.
Yu Zecheng and Luo Anping entered the bookstore warehouse.
"Lao Luo, Li Ya is targeting me now.
"It's not appropriate to call me at this time to meet. Just this once."
Yu Zecheng sat down and said expressionlessly.
"Comrade... this is a critical moment, with lives at stake.
“Just last night, several labor movement organizations were raided at an underground transportation station.
"Many comrades have been arrested or killed. Your attitude really makes me..."
Luo Anping became anxious again.
"What do you want me to do?
"Lao Luo, my mission is to stay undercover. The organization didn't ask you to come here to increase my risk of being exposed."
Yu Zecheng also became angry and argued loudly, which was unusual for him.
Immediately, he waved his hand, took a deep breath and said:
"Forget it, I won't argue with you.
"Tell me what's going on."
"Comrade Zecheng, we have obtained information and made some scouting. Yuan Peilin is very likely hiding in the private room on the third floor of Xiuchun Tower.
“The person was hidden by Qiao Jiacai and Wu Jingzhong themselves.
"I asked you to come here just to let you make the final confirmation."
Luo Anping said.
“It’s impossible to be sure.
"You underestimate Li Ya and Wu Jingzhong.
"Yuan Peilin has been in Jinhai for less than three days. If you can find him so easily, the Bureau of Secrets will no longer be called the Bureau of Secrets, but the Bureau of Leaks.
"I still say the same thing, Li Ya is playing a big game.
“What is certain is that the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics was also involved.
"No matter who steps into Xiuchunlou, they will be slaughtered."
Yu Zecheng tried his best to dissuade him.
"Comrade Zecheng, I think you are too negative.
"I have an elite team of traitor killers.
“The plans are all made.
“To tell you the truth, this is also what the organization and Lord Ke mean: get rid of Yuan at all costs.
"We can't afford another Gu Shunzhang."
Luo Anping's tone softened a bit, but his attitude remained firm.
"It seems you won't listen to me.
“I’m just a little lurker.
“Not even a party member.
“You are the leader, you have the final say.
"Comrade An Ping, I still want to urge you to think carefully.
"Take care of yourself."
After Yu Zecheng finished speaking, he opened the door and walked out with an expressionless face.
Organizations have reasons to organize.
He has his way of working.
Yu Zecheng only knew that no matter what happened, he must stay alive and continue to lurk.
Civil war is imminent.
He wanted to deliver more intelligence and save millions of soldiers on the battlefield.
Instead of being obsessed with the gains and losses in front of you.
If the organization and Luo Anping think that he is a coward.
Then be a coward.
"We're fighting again."
When she got home, Cuiping saw that he was in a bad mood and asked.
"Cui Ping, am I a negative coward?" Yu Zecheng asked her seriously with red eyes.
Cui Ping sensed his sadness and took his hand and said:
“Old Yu.
“You are not, you are another kind of warrior I have ever seen, harder than steel and sharper than a bullet.
"General Su launched a surprise attack on Suqian and completely wiped out Dai Zhiqi's reorganized and well-equipped division.
"Isn't that all thanks to you for providing the intelligence?
“You are a warrior.
“He’s a real hero.”
"I, am I really a hero?" Yu Zecheng blinked and his whole body trembled inexplicably.
"Yes.
"Is this Shopkeeper Luo sick?
“Is there anyone who leads like him?
“Doesn’t he know that your mission is to lurk?
“Doesn’t he know you’re a bullet shell?
"I'll do the beatings and killings, but you're the one pushing me to do it. Aren't you crazy?
"Wait a minute, I'll go find him now, what the hell!"
Cuiping immediately understood what was going on, slammed the table, and was about to leave angrily.
"Cui Ping, don't!"
Yu Zecheng suddenly grabbed her and held her tightly in his arms.
"Need not.
"They can doubt me, but at least you believe in me, and that's enough."
Yu Zecheng whispered in her ear, tears glistening in his eyes.
Cuiping was confused.
It was the first time she saw Yu Zecheng's vulnerability.
This man who always remains calm in the face of swords and rain of swords is not made of steel. He also has times when he feels uncomfortable, sad, and wronged.
"Don't be afraid, Lao Yu.
"After I have mastered my handwriting and have completed my mission and returned to the organization, I will write a report to the higher-ups to help you report Luo Anping, the fool.
“I was the county captain and also served as the chairman of the party group.
"Political Commissar Yuan and the others trust me now."
Cuiping hugged him, patted his back gently, and comforted him with a smile.
"Thank you, Cuiping."
Yu Zecheng whispered, and the haze in his heart immediately dissipated a lot.
At this moment, there were only two people left in his mind.
They are not the important figures in Yancheng who shone brightly, nor are they the revolutionary martyrs and heroes who sacrificed their lives heroically.
But it was Zuo Lan and Cui Ping.
Zuo Lan gave him faith.
But Cuiping truly conveyed his strength and courage.
With them here.
Yu Zecheng suddenly felt that even if he sacrificed himself, it wouldn't be that scary.
"You don't find me annoying now. You were thinking about driving me away every day." After hugging him for a while, Cuiping leaned on his shoulder and asked with a smile.
"Cui Ping..."
Yu Zecheng came to his senses and tried to let go.
Cuiping hugged her tightly and whispered:
"Just think of it as Zuo Lan hugging you."
Yu Zecheng's body stiffened and he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
……
Late, eight o'clock.
"Old Qiao, why don't you stay in Peking for two days?" After dinner, Wu Jingzhong personally escorted Qiao to the car.
"No.
"I have been working tirelessly for the Party and the country in Tianjin, and a newspaper in Peking reported my visit to Xiuchunlou.
"If I don't go back, I'm afraid my old home will be taken over by others."
Qiao Jiacai shook hands and said goodbye reluctantly.
"Why.
“The resources of the party-state are being wasted by its own people.
"Sometimes you want to punch hard, but you just can't clench your fist tightly."
Wu Jingzhong also sighed.
"Take care of yourself."
"Bon Voyage."
The two patted each other on the back of their hands again.
"Thank you, Xiaohong. Come visit me next time you come to Peking." Mrs. Qiao leaned out and waved to Hong Zhiyou.
"Yes." Hong Zhiyou nodded with a smile.
After seeing Qiao Jiacai off, Wu Jingzhong and Hong Zhiyou got into the car and asked in a deep voice, "Any news about Yuan Peilin?"
"Teacher, this is a bit troublesome. Long Er from the Cao Gang has secretly mobilized thousands of workers to search for news about Yuan Peilin at the docks and teahouses.
“All kinds of people, including the Party Communication Bureau and the Inspection Team, are also looking for them.
“There has been no news so far.
“It’s like this person just disappeared.
"Moreover, our people in the action team reported that Captain Li has not seen Yuan Peilin since he arranged for him.
"There is no clue to follow at all."
Hong Zhiyou shook his head in confusion.
Wu Jingzhong crossed his arms, thought for a moment, and frowned:
“Can’t rush.
"Everyone will participate in social activities, and Li Ya must have made a lot of contributions recently.
"I asked Director Zheng to relax his mouth, secretly put one more obstacle on him and then let him go, so that Li Ya would have to pay a heavy price.
"He will definitely go to find Yuan Peilin.
"Who is this person that Yuan Peilin knows and is important enough to make Li Ya's heart beat?
“You can think about it from this perspective.”
"Teacher, this is a great trick. It not only does Li Ya a favor and makes him grateful, but also forces him to look for Yuan Peilin sideways." Hong Zhiyou said with heartfelt admiration.
Older gingers are more spicy.
The situation seemed unsolvable, but with just a little advice from Wu Jingzhong, there was light at the end of the tunnel.
"Just remember, everything in this world revolves around human relationships and worldly wisdom.
“As long as you understand it thoroughly and deeply, there is nothing you cannot accomplish.
“That’s why I keep trying to push you up.
“If you don’t reach out to those people, you can’t make friends.
"Without human feelings, worldly wisdom will not work."
Wu Jingzhong pointed at him and began to preach.
"Students will remember this." Hong Zhi nodded.
"Teacher, after you retire, please devote all your energy to teaching your grandson. The little guy will definitely be extraordinary when he grows up." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
“There are many things that cannot be taught.
“You have to be tempered, and you will be enlightened.
"When I first joined the Military Control Commission, I was introduced by Shen Zui. Boss Dai was so arrogant at that time that he didn't even raise his eyelids when he saw me.
"Just because I shamelessly got a meal from him, I was able to gain a firm foothold in the Military Intelligence Bureau.
"Boss Dai gradually began to like me, and when I had nothing to do, I would find all kinds of reasons to show up in front of him.
"He was very annoyed with me at the time, thinking that I had no qualifications and was a traitor, but after a few times, he got used to it and liked me.
"I guess he himself doesn't understand how I became his confidant.
"Humanity is politics, and truth cannot be taught!"
Wu Jingzhong sighed.
"It has not been easy for the teacher along the way." Hong Zhiyou sighed when he thought of Dai Li's betrayal.
"Yes.
“So, you have to hurry up and talk more about your livelihood.
“It doesn’t have to be a big business.
"No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it's still meat. If you save more, you can have a good year." Wu Jingzhong changed the subject.
"clear.
"Yesterday, I was thinking that given my teacher's status, anything less than 20,000 US dollars is out of the question. Now it seems I have to change my mind." Hong Zhiyou smiled self-reproachfully.
"stupid.
"US dollars are a rare commodity." How many US dollars are there in the entire Jinhai City?
“After all, not everyone is Chiang, Song, Kong or Chen.
"Milk powder and nutritional supplements in North America are very expensive. As long as it is within the rules, you should accept it."
Wu Jingzhong shrank his thumb and made a number four.
Four thousand dollars.
Bottom line.
"Yes!" Hong Zhiyou accepted the order respectfully.
"Where is the teacher going?
"Go home or go back to the station?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
“Go back to the station.
“I still have something to hand over to Li Ya.
"It's better for you to avoid suspicion in public. Just get off the car here." Wu Jingzhong ordered.
“Okay, teacher.
"Rui Rui's mom has made some soup. When you are done, go home and have a rest."
Hong Zhiyou got out of the car, bowed slightly and watched the car go away.
……
Wu Jingzhong came to the office.
He seldom works overtime.
At this point, I could have just enjoyed the antiques peacefully.
Now, since Yuan Peilin came to Jinhai, he hasn’t had a good night’s sleep for several days.
Damn guy!
Soon, Li Ya pushed open the door and walked in triumphantly.
"Captain Li, how are the arrangements going?" Wu Jingzhong asked.
"There is a lot of turmoil outside Xiuchun Tower right now.
"We just received a tip-off that Sun Chuanzhi from the Party Communications Bureau has sent someone to take action against 'Yuan Peilin'.
“Red tickets are also being planned in secret.
"They are very anxious now. Sun Chuanzhi wants to give Ye Xiufeng a birthday gift, and Hong Piao is eager to kill the traitor. They all want to fight for this head." Li Ya said.
"The Red Ticket Anti-Traitor Team is a group of lingering guys who have never been able to be dug out.
“How did the secretary of the former stationmaster Chen Xianzhou die?
“It was these guys who shot me in the back.
"If you can dig it out, it will be a great achievement. Director Mao will then have the confidence to recommend you for the award. Wouldn't your position as deputy station chief be secured?
“You are my student, and I know your craft very well.
"As an elite from the Qingpu class, you can't always let people gossip about you and say you're just sucking up to someone powerful, right?"
Wu Jingzhong sat on the sofa and smiled with narrowed eyes.
"Teacher, you are considerate and understanding of me.
"I am devoted to the party and the country, but there are people who always want my gun to misfire.
"I will definitely fire this shot tonight with the momentum of the Qingpu class."
Li Ya nodded gratefully.
“You and I are both Jianfeng’s right-hand men, we are both teachers and students, and we are also comrades.
"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
Wu Jingzhong said uprightly.
"I would like to ask you to assign me more staff.
"There are a lot of people at Xiuchun Tower, and it's late at night.
“I still don’t have enough people under my command.
"If there were fifty more people, I guarantee not even a fly would be able to fly out."
Li Ya clasped his five fingers together and said proudly.
"it is good.
“People from the Intelligence Department cannot be used.
“I can’t get fifty.
"Well, I will hand over all the 20 elite members of the security department, including Chief Xiao, to you.
"Let them hide in the surrounding houses in disguise. When the time comes, you just need to fire your gun and they will be ready to support you in the shortest possible time."
Wu Jingzhong responded readily.
"Thank you, Stationmaster. In this way, I will surely make new contributions." Li Ya saluted.
"Go do it."
Wu Jingzhong waved his hand.
As soon as Li Ya left, Wu Jingzhong's eyes turned cold and he started to think deeply while holding the teacup.
If we want to find Yuan Peilin, the best way is to break the impasse. No matter whether it is true or not, one of them must die first.
Fake death.
It really is becoming increasingly difficult to hide.
The more muddy the water is, the bigger fish will emerge.
Thinking of this, he called the security department: "Guohua, come to my office."
After a moment, Xiao Guohua walked in:
"Stationmaster, what's up?"
"Captain Li is going to transfer you to Xiuchunlou tonight. Do you have anyone under your command who can be ruthless?" Wu Jingzhong asked.
"have.
"Jiang Zhi is good enough. He is ruthless and efficient." Xiao Guohua said.
"Who is he?" Wu Jingzhong asked.
"I'm originally from Jilin, and I just bought a house and settled down in Jinhai some time ago," said Xiao Guohua.
“It’s going to be a big fight tonight.
"Let Jiang Zhi take this opportunity to catch the guy in Xiuchunlou... Don't use a gun, it will be easier to find him.
"After the matter is done, send some money to Jiang Zhi's wife."
Wu Jingzhong's eyes became stern and he gave the order coldly.
"I understand." Xiao Guohua nodded in acceptance.
……
Xiuchun Tower.
In the third elegant room on the left side of the second floor.
Li Ya sat on a chair, crossed his legs and watched Guo Liang eat meat and drink wine:
"Are you still used to staying here?"
"That's right, there is no man who doesn't love cosmetics.
"Captain Li, don't you want some?"
Guo Liang asked with a smile, obviously very satisfied with the security and quality of life here.
"I do not drink.
"This is for you."
Li Ya took out two more boxes of cigarettes and handed them over.
"Thanks.
"Captain Li doesn't smoke or drink, and he is truly loyal to the Party and the country.
Guo Liang took a sip of wine and started to flatter the emperor.
“It’s not the honest truth.
"I just hope that the world will be peaceful and that children can have clothes to wear, food to eat and education to go to."
Li Ya smiled and expressed his ideal upon graduation.
"Salute to you." Guo Liang raised his glass.
“Okay, I should go now.
"If you feel lonely, there are plenty of girls in this building, just call them and they will be paid for at the station."
Li Ya twisted his neck and stood up.
"I know. Thanks." Guo Liang said.
Just this first night, he screamed several times.
And they are all the top stars in the building.
"Can I ask where Mr. Yuan has gone?" Guo Liang suddenly called out to Li Ya.
“This is not your concern.
"All you have to do is eat well, drink well and have fun."
Li Ya didn't look back and walked out quickly.
When he got outside, he came to the backyard, where several of his men were smoking and chatting.
"You seem to be quite free. Where is Qi Dafu?" Li Ya asked.
"Captain Qi, he..." The two looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything.
Li Ya immediately understood: "Go, call him over."
After a moment, Qi Dafu, who was dressed in powder, hurried over and said, "Captain Li, you are here."
"You bastard, at this hour you still have the mind to flirt with other women." Li Ya glared at him in dissatisfaction.
“It’s not time yet.
"There are a lot of patrolmen outside at this time, and it's a busy time, so they don't dare to take action."
Qi Dafu chuckled.
“Be serious.
"What time is it, and you still dare to be careless?
"If this person can be saved, with such a big scene, people outside will be more convinced that he is Yuan Peilin.
“We can catch fish continuously.
"I'm dying. From now on, forget about drinking soup and eating meat. You won't even have a warm mouth when you shit."
Li Yazheng scolded.
"Yes, Captain Li." Qi Dafu said honestly.
“Keep your eyes on it.
"I'm going back."
Li Ya put his hands in his pockets and prepared to leave.
"No, Captain, aren't you going to guard it yourself?" Qi Dafu was a little confused.
"I have something else to do."
Li Ya turned and left.
He is not stupid.
Now the red votes and party connections are all red-eyed.
God knows what kind of gods they will send. If we don’t leave now, we will just stay here and wait for death.
He is no longer the young man who joined Jinshanwei back then, full of passion and disregard for life and death.
You have to stay alive to taste all the delicious food in Jinhai.
You have to make a lot of gold bars and US dollars, live in a mansion, and drive a Studebaker.
When I retired in the future, the party and the country were at peace.
Being a primary school principal again, doing exercises with the children and raising the flag, wouldn’t that be a wonderful life?
……
There was singing and dancing in Xiuchun Tower.
Outside, however, the atmosphere was filled with murderous intent.
Nine o'clock.
Sun Chuanzhi's car stopped two streets away.
"Director Sun, I have investigated it clearly.
"Yuan Peilin lives in the third room on the left. In the past few days since he moved in, he has called women seven times.
"I've asked Zhu Yan to put on makeup and pretend to be a prostitute in the building.
"The other two good fighters will become assistants and can provide support at any time.
"We have also arranged everything with the madam. As long as Zhu Yan gets the chance, he can carry out the assassination mission at close range."
Wei Jindao, the head of the operations department, was sitting next to him.
"snort.
"In life, there is wine, sex, money and anger, and who doesn't love beautiful women?
"It's a bargain for him to die under the peony flowers.
“Remember, act quickly.
“We must act before the red ticket is taken, and it is best to get the head.
“I have thought of all the reasons for you to make meritorious contributions.
"Clearing out important figures in Pingjin with red tickets is a great achievement."
Sun Chuanzhi painted a big rosy picture for Wei Jin.
"Don't worry, Yuan Peilin's head tonight must be taken by our party." Wei Jin patted his chest and issued a military order.
