Chapter 218 Only failure is allowed, not success
torture room.
Li Ya leaned against the table, stroking his smooth chin, and watched with great interest as Lu Baoxing prepared Mei Yingxue.
As the direct disciple of Lao Wu, Lu Baoxing's methods were even more brutal. He used a horsewhip soaked in salt, and every blow left Mei Yingxue with tears in her skin.
Such a beautiful girl with fair skin, now her body is covered with shocking whip marks.
Not only that.
Lu Baoxing also used a soldering iron to hit him hard.
Have some tricks up your sleeve for men.
Of course, there are also cruel methods for women.
All the things that Mei Yingxue was proud of were destroyed.
The entire interrogation room was once filled with the smell of burning and urine.
No matter how Mei Yingxue begged, Li Ya remained indifferent.
Every time he was knocked unconscious, he would be woken up by being splashed with cold water.
In the end, even Lu Baoxing couldn't bring himself to do it.
"Please, I, I'll confess everything.
"Brother Ya, I was wrong.
"Give me a chance to live. Stop, stop fighting."
Mei Yingxue pleaded weakly and pitifully.
"Captain Li." Lu Baoxing looked at Li Ya.
Li Ya looked at the ugly and disheveled Mei Yingxue in front of him, with a cruel sneer on his face.
When I think of the ugly behavior of this woman and the foreigner, and the green socks and green tie that humiliated him, the youthful vitality is clearly too much.
What’s even more annoying is that this was a trap from the beginning to the end.
The woman deceived him.
They also attempted to tarnish his loyalty to the Party, the country and Jianfeng.
This is the most unforgivable.
It is no exaggeration to say that the humiliation brought by Mei Yingxue was a hundred or a thousand times heavier than the slap in the face by Hong Zhiyou.
Li Ya even thought that there was a moment when he really loved her.
He felt sick.
That disgusting feeling is like someone has taken a dump on your head and you can't wipe it off or wash it off.
It has even become a nightmare, and I am often woken up by nausea in the middle of the night.
Otherwise, she would have to be saved.
Li Ya could really cut her into pieces.
"Sign and press fingerprints."
Li Ya handed over the confession transcripts and other materials.
Mei Yingxue signed and put her fingerprints on the document with trembling hands.
"Xue'er, look at yourself. You look like a dog now." Li Ya took out a mirror and tried his best to humiliate Mei Yingxue.
When Mei Yingxue saw her ugly face covered in blood and flesh in the mirror, she screamed and dodged.
"Being a bitch requires capital. No man will like you in this state in the future." Li Ya said sarcastically.
"Brother Ya.
"me……"
Mei Yingxue began to cry in despair.
"Captain Li, have you confessed?" At this time Yu Zecheng and Hong Zhiyou walked in.
"Deputy Station Master Yu."
Li Ya put down the mirror and handed over the materials:
"I've confessed everything. Take a look."
Yu Zecheng glanced at the materials and nodded quickly, saying, "Secretary Hong, seal one copy and send it to the confidential office, and seal the box immediately and prepare the plane. I will personally deliver it to Jingling later."
"Okay, Deputy Stationmaster Yu." Hong Zhiyou took the order seriously.
Seeing that Yu Zecheng was becoming more and more like the deputy stationmaster, Li Ya asked uncomfortably:
"What to do with this woman?"
"It depends on whether you want the foreigner to confess under torture or to force her to testify in court." Yu Zecheng shook his head slightly and smiled with his big white teeth.
Li Ya's brows furrowed, realizing something was wrong.
I made a serious mistake.
If Mei Yingxue is unable to serve as a witness, there is only one option: send her to death.
Otherwise, it will be found by people with ulterior motives.
Given this woman's personality, she will definitely change her testimony.
It would be troublesome to overturn the table at that time.
Yu Zecheng ignored him, stood up and walked out.
"Deputy Station Master Yu, these things, photos, and recordings should be enough to serve as evidence." Li Ya quickly chased after him and called out to him.
"I have never filed an international lawsuit. You should ask Ambassador Gu Weijun." Yu Zecheng smiled faintly.
"What about this woman?" Li Ya asked.
"I'm just taking over temporarily, and I'm not very clear about your internal situation. Why don't you ask the stationmaster or Jianfeng?" Yu Zecheng said.
"Okay." Li Ya said.
As soon as Yu Zecheng left, Li Ya raised his hand and slapped himself in the face.
He was really mad at this woman.
It was also related to the fact that he had been pestering Mei Yingxue endlessly for some time, which had consumed a lot of his energy and made him lose his mind and his brain became dull.
Li Ya could never have imagined it.
I would make such a stupid and clumsy mistake.
Now, if Mei Yingxue is not dealt with, it will be a big trouble.
"Chief Xiao, call all the people on the mission today to the conference room. I want to interrogate them one by one and take their statements personally.
"Also ask the person in charge of the Telecommunications Department, you, and Secretary Hong to come and sit in as witnesses."
After returning to the office, Yu Zecheng called Xiao Guohua.
Soon, people from the security department began to interrogate them one by one.
"What is this for?"
Li Ya, who was worried, grabbed a clerk who was on the move and asked.
“Director Yu wants everyone’s on-site record.
"It must be sent to Jingling together with the confession."
the man replied.
"is it?"
Li Ya felt something was wrong and hurried to the meeting room.
When he reached the door, he was stopped by the security department: "I'm sorry, Captain Li, Deputy Station Chief Yu said you have to avoid suspicion and it's not appropriate for you to attend."
"understood."
Li Ya pursed his lips, stood up and left.
soon.
Gao Yuan and others arrived at the meeting room.
Yu Zecheng interrogated them one by one:
"Are you sure that Captain Li was holding a gun when he caught the adultery?"
"determine."
Mi Zhiguo nodded.
"Think carefully. This is an international case. If you give false testimony, you will lose your heads." Yu Zecheng said seriously.
After hearing what he said, the others also agreed.
"it is good.
"Let me ask you one more question. Did Captain Li point a gun at James at that time?" Yu Zecheng asked again.
"Think carefully before answering." He reminded again.
You look at me, I look at you.
Gao originally wanted to speak, but Hong Zhi stopped him with a hint in his eyes.
"It seems there is."
Someone answered in a low voice.
"If it is there, it is there. If it is not there, it is not there. Think about it carefully." Yu Zecheng said.
"have.
"Yes, Captain Li pointed a gun at James."
Someone takes the lead and others follow suit to answer.
Finish taking notes.
Yu Zecheng asked the audience to sign and put their fingerprints together before returning to the office.
"Zhiyou, call Li Ya over." Yu Zecheng said with a slightly tired look.
"Yes, Deputy Station Master Yu."
Hong Zhiyou quickly called Li Ya in.
"Captain Li, these are their confessions. Do you find any problems with them?" Yu Zecheng handed it over.
“Deputy Station Chief, will pointing a gun at someone be considered as threatening or forcing James to jump off the building?
"James jumped off the building in a panic because his affair was exposed and he was so ashamed and embarrassed.
“I just went up to catch the adultery.
"His death has nothing to do with me."
Li Ya immediately saw the clue.
“James is certainly in a panic.
"You are a contributor to the Party and the country, and a hero of Jinhai Station. The entire station will ensure your safety.
"This confession is top secret, and the executor and everyone listening to it have signed and put their fingerprints on it. Not a single word of it is allowed to be disclosed to the outside world.
“It will be kept in the confidential room.
“I will draft another notification document to inform the international observation group of James’ death.
"What do you think?
"After all, the person is dead. I guess the observation team has already heard about it."
The rest will become the Tao.
"Then thank you, Deputy Station Master Yu." Li Ya said with a lick of his teeth.
"You're welcome." Yu Zecheng looked up and smiled.
Li Ya walked out with a gloomy face.
It was obvious that Yu Zecheng came here for him. He was so nosy that he had to leave this handle. There was also a lot of circumstantial evidence. He couldn't deny it even if he wanted to.
Damn it!
This idiot James, why would he jump off the building?
it's good now.
He was very likely to be involved in a lawsuit for threatening James to jump off a building. That would be the murder of the deputy head of the international observation group. If the matter got out of hand, even Jianfeng wouldn't be able to protect him.
What's more, Jianfeng did not give any clear instructions on this matter from beginning to end.
It's clear that he wants to handle it himself.
It was originally a great achievement, but now Mei Yingxue doesn't know how to deal with it, and she has been caught again. It's a complete mess.
It's so fucking annoying.
Li Ya rubbed his temples, which felt drowsy and dizzy from long-term indulgence, and his mood was extremely bad.
Yu Zecheng leaned back, hugged his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
The webmaster doesn't want to do this.
Let him offend Li Ya.
But he had no choice, and he was indeed the best candidate.
Goods from Peking.
There is also Li Ya's desire for the position of deputy station chief.
And the two had clashed with each other many times before.
Now it’s just a matter of everyone stopping pretending and just doing it openly.
Alas, there is no choice.
Who makes him the only supporter is the webmaster?
The stationmaster wanted him to be his deputy, so dirty and hard work was inevitable, and that was the price.
……
The third floor of the British Club.
Kennard picked up the phone with a cigar in his mouth: “It’s me.
"okay, I get it.
"Don't worry, I will hold him to the ground. You may win the lawsuit, but he will never be done with this man."
After hanging up the phone, Kennard smiled.
James is dead.
That's good news.
He came to the government this time to do two things.
1: Persuade James to cooperate with disinfection and leave the club.
2: Deal with James's funeral and stick to Li Ya.
Kennard doesn't need to know how James died.
He only knew that it was this Li Ya who brought people to the scene of death.
That was murder.
Li Ya must be held responsible for this matter.
This is the logic and reasoning of the British Empire towards the Chiang government.
I earned tens of thousands of dollars from these two things, and also got gold bars and antiques. It was totally worth it.
……
The next day.
Wu Jingzhong returned to the office with a tired look on his face.
Yu Zecheng only dared to talk about going to Jingling, as he was not qualified to meet Jianfeng.
He has to deal with these matters personally.
Last night, he flew to Jingling without sleeping all night and handed over all the evidence personally to Jianfeng, who also hadn't slept all night.
Military aid was related to the fate of the party and the country, so Jianfeng immediately let voices from all over the country and overseas disclose the British spy case.
Although Li Ya was suspected of murder, these were secondary to the superiors.
What they want is a victory in public opinion.
We can forcefully counter those voices in the international court.
"Hey, busy all night.
"Since I got home, I haven't slept at all. I've just been answering phone calls.
"How's Li Ya doing?"
It was no longer his turn to worry about military aid; Wu Jingzhong was only concerned about his own interests.
"Teacher, Kennard is insisting that it was Li Ya who murdered James. After a night of fermentation, it has now escalated into a diplomatic incident, and the British Embassy has spoken out.
“And James has a background in England.
“The prime minister and the royal family have spoken out.
"I guess Jianfeng is under a lot of pressure right now. If we overdo it, Li Ya might just give us up."
Hong Zhiyou said in a deep voice.
“This is to be expected.
“The key lies in whether the lawsuit can be won.
“I know Jianfeng.
"If we can win the battle and keep the military aid, Li Ya will be a meritorious official and capable official of the Party and the country. Jianfeng is eager for talents, and since he is a member of our Iron-Blooded Youth League, he will definitely be protected.
"If we can't win, or if our reinforcements are cut off, Li Ya will definitely be held responsible."
Wu Jingzhong said.
"Zecheng, what do you think of this lawsuit?" He turned and looked at Yu Zecheng.
“Isn’t there a ready-made half-immortal here?
"How about you do the math?"
Yu Zecheng looked at Hong Zhiyou.
Hong Zhiyou smiled and said, "With the wisdom of the chairman, of course he will win."
"I hope it's as you said." Wu Jingzhong sighed.
Just as he was talking, the phone rang.
Wu Jingzhong pointed at the phone and said, "Someone is cursing, and I have to answer. Guess it's Jianfeng or Mao Renfeng?"
"I bet on Jianfeng." Hong Zhiyou said.
"I bet on Director Mao." Yu Zecheng said.
“I bet on the chairman.
"One hundred dollars!"
Wu Jingzhong glanced at the two of them, then walked over to the phone and said casually, "Hello, it's me."
Immediately, his expression changed drastically, and he stood upright respectfully:
"Yes, yes!
"Yes!
"Please rest assured, Jingzhong will complete the task!"
Snapped!
After hanging up the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhang Qun called, pay me."
"Really, it's really the order of the chairman."
Yu Zecheng and the other man quickly reached into their pockets and handed over the money.
Wu Jingzhong took it and put it in his pocket.
"Teacher, what instructions did Mr. Zhang convey?" Yu Zecheng asked.
“The old man was generally satisfied with Jinhai’s affairs, and he cursed a few times and asked for money.
"As for the big shots, they will handle what has happened. No one will dwell on it. After all, we are one of the victorious countries in the anti-fascist war.
“The British are making trouble, and the North American military aid group is not a pushover.
"The chairman doesn't care about the life and death of the foreign devils and Li Ya. He only cares about when the US dollars you promised Yu Xuan will arrive, and when Fu Zuoyi will fully cooperate with Hu Zongnan to send troops."
Wu Jingzhong said.
"This matter has to be operated by the Americans. Now that this matter has been resolved, it will be easier to deal with the favor owed to the military aid group." Hong Zhiyou said.
"It has to be done as soon as possible." Wu Jingzhong ordered.
“Also, we have confirmed that we will fly to Shenyang on the 3rd of next month.
"Oh, you're still in the mood to fly to Shenyang. It seems you're very confident in the lawsuit. The military aid faction should be able to stabilize its position with this wave of public opinion.
"You two, the New Year is coming soon.
"Jianfeng has thrown us a difficult problem, the assassination of Lin Tai.
“Since you have guaranteed Madam’s safety.
“Another mission to complete.
“This is also what the chairman meant.
“My aim is to learn from Boss Dai.
"The momentum must be loud and the attitude must be firm, but 'failure is the only option, success is not.'"
Wu Jingzhong did not avoid Yu Zecheng and spoke loudly.
He knew that Yu might have something to do with the red ticket.
At least he has close contacts with Yong Jianqiu.
Let Yu Zecheng pass the gas in advance and give the red ticket. The best result is that Lin Tai will not come, then everyone will be happy.
You must come, and the red ticket must be protected secretly.
Furthermore, you have to cooperate with me when necessary.
"Yes.
“Only failure is allowed, not success.
"It's still your old three methods, poisoning, planting bombs, and shooting from behind. Let someone fire a shot first to scare them. If they can keep them from coming, that would be great."
Hong Zhiyou smiled.
"Yes.
"Whether we can celebrate the New Year depends on this sound," said Wu Jingzhong.
"The trouble now is that Li Ya is caught in the middle.
“Jianfeng can give me hints.
"Perhaps he will instruct Li Ya to take action. He will definitely not report such things to me.
"Let's see whether the higher-ups reward or punish Li Ya this time.
“If we protect him, Li Ya will most likely accept the mission.
“There may even be party connections.
"Ye Xiufeng has repeatedly ruined the mood in front of the chairman, and he is very likely to take this opportunity to turn things around."
Wu Jingzhong said.
“You have to be careful.
"Lin Tai has deep roots. If there is any problem in Jinhai, it will be blamed on you anyway.
"The party and the state's elders are so afraid that they might overturn our Jinhai Station."
Yu Zecheng quickly echoed.
“So I said we were very passive.
“I have to act in Jianfeng and secretly ensure Lin Tai’s safety.
"Why.
"Never mind, it's time for dinner, Zhiyou, go to that halal restaurant we went to last time and book a private room.
"After Ruirui came back, I drank crucian carp and chicken soup every day, and my mouth was dry.
"Have a meal!"
Wu Jingzhong was too lazy to think about it, he just waved his hand and stood up.
……
In the afternoon, Wu Jingzhong returned to the office after having a full meal. Just as he was about to drink his tea and take a nap in the inner room, Li Ya followed him in.
"Li Ya, is there anything wrong?" he asked with a smile.
"Teacher, the situation in England is very chaotic right now. I'm worried that the higher-ups will drag me out to take the blame." Li Ya said worriedly.
"Li Ya, I always thought you were a smart person, how could you do such a clumsy and stupid thing?
"Why did I go to so much trouble to catch you in adultery?
"That is to discredit James and increase the chances of winning the war of public opinion.
"It's also for the sake of severing your relationship with Mei Yingxue in the future and to stop people from talking about you.
"Just because of your little problem, I mobilized the City Defense Bureau and asked Commander Chen to coordinate, causing a stir in the city.
"And you screwed it all up.
"Just take a few pictures, who asked you to kill someone?"
Wu Jingzhong slapped his palms and criticized with a disappointed look on his face.
"Teacher, I really didn't mean to kill him.
"He was like a madman, he had to run away and jump off the building, but unfortunately he died from the fall."
Li Ya explained helplessly.
“The problem is that foreigners don’t believe it. They hired the best forensic doctor, who said James had broken ribs and all that nonsense.
"With just one sentence, it was confirmed that you beat the man to death.
“Now the prime minister and foreign secretary have spoken.
"The key is that you didn't explain clearly to your subordinates in advance, and they didn't give a unified statement. That is, the record made by Deputy Station Chief Yu. If someone with ulterior motives sold these confessions to the British,
"Then it will prove that you murdered someone at gunpoint, and you won't be able to defend yourself at that time."
Wu Jingzhong pointed at him and said.
"Yes, my brain is clouded by that woman, and I am slow in doing anything, so..." Li Ya said angrily.
"alright.
“I went to see Jianfeng last night and told him about your difficulties.
“Jianfeng has a lot of energy, he will handle the British.
"But you have to thank Deputy Station Master Yu for this material."
Wu Jingzhong frowned and reminded him.
"Thank him?" Li Ya's brows furrowed again.
"Teacher, he took advantage of your absence to grab me. He was such a despicable person. I'm lucky I didn't shoot him to death." Li Ya cursed.
Who are you scolding... Wu Jingzhong frowned and said unhappily:
“Confused.
"You have always been looking for trouble with Zecheng, but now someone has caught you and you have lost your skills.
“You should understand the old rules of the Military Control Commission.
“If you lose, you have to accept the punishment, be beaten, and stand at attention.
"If someone takes advantage of you, it's to protect themselves. If they don't take advantage of you, it means they want to live in peace with you. In the future, you should put away your arrogance and treat him as a superior.
“He is already the deputy station chief, you have to accept the reality.
“Respect is mutual.
"It's given to you, you have to take it, understand?"
"Yes, I understand, Stationmaster. In the evening, I will go to Lord Yu... Deputy Stationmaster's home to pay him a visit and thank him." Li Ya said unwillingly.
“Well, it’s good that you know it.
"Since you are my student, I will say this: even if Jianfeng cannot protect you, the station will compensate you with a large sum of money and find you a good place to stay.
"Even if you run away, the foreigners will still look for you all over the world.
"Go ahead, don't be so nervous, relax and take a few days off."
Wu Jingzhong comforted him with a few words.
"Thank you, teacher. But how should I deal with Mei Yingxue? She is your niece. It is very difficult for me to deal with her." Li Ya nodded in thanks and asked with a sidelong glance.
Wu Jingzhong was so annoyed.
He pretended to be a good man for a long time, but before Li Ya had even finished bowing, he started stabbing him with a knife.
This is forcing yourself to get involved and share the pressure.
Fortunately, Zhi had prepared the information in advance, otherwise he would have been tricked by Li Ya.
"You think too much, this woman has nothing to do with me anymore.
"When she first started dating you, I checked her background. This is the information I sent to headquarters. This is a backup for you to take a look at."
Wu Jingzhong opened the drawer and handed him a document.
Li Ya was dumbfounded. If she had reported it to the headquarters long ago, it would have been an obvious trap to catch a spy, and the relationship between her and her niece no longer existed.
"Webmaster, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Li Ya asked.
“How can I tell you something that even Jianfeng doesn’t dare to give instructions?
“Let me tell you, with your personality, can you solve this espionage case?
"Why have I been holding you back from getting married? I can't tell you. I've been so worried about you."
Wu Jingzhong patted his chest and sighed.
"Too.
"Thank you, teacher." Li Ya bowed sincerely.
"Teacher, what should we do with this female spy?"
His tone softened and he pleaded.
“Send him to Shuitun Prison first, and figure out how to disappear on your own.
"You have to clean your own ass. I'm not Avalokitesvara who can do everything for you.
"Be more clean and beautiful, and don't let others catch you.
"The matter of this woman has ended with me. As long as I am in this position, no one will mention it.
"Just put your mind at ease and wait for the headquarters' final decision on the espionage case."
Wu Jingzhong instructed.
"Understood!" Li Ya accepted the order.
come back to the office.
Li Ya reviewed the whole thing from beginning to end.
He found that he might have really misunderstood Wu Jingzhong.
If Wu Jingzhong really wants to die, he doesn't have to do anything. Just agree to his marriage with Mei Yingxue, and the crime of espionage alone will be enough to get rid of him.
Then to Yu, and now to cover for him on Mei Yingxue’s matter.
If there wasn't a deep affection for him, it would be impossible to spend so much effort to protect him.
Maybe I really blamed Old Wu wrongly.
He had nothing to do with the death of Master Liu Xiong; he was just being overly suspicious.
Thinking of this, Li Ya immediately picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number: "Is Li Chong in school?
"Arrange it. I want to see him."
