Chapter 264 Hypnotizing Your Comrades

In the Military Intelligence Department, Li Maocai is undoubtedly the number one idle person.

It is understandable that Liu Zhengxiong reacted in this way after hearing this.

But he knew he was wrong, and quickly changed his words:

"Leader! I'm so surprised. What should we do?"

Xiang Chu thought for a moment and ordered, "Old Liu! Quickly inform Yang Jiang that if Li Maocai is a comrade on their side, to prevent Li Maocai from defecting to the enemy, all comrades who know Li Maocai's identity should evacuate Nanjing immediately."

"Yes!"

Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly took the order and ran out of the office.

At this time, the office of the director of the Party Affairs Department.

Xu En received numerous calls from military and political leaders questioning him, so he had no choice but to call Chen Fu:

"Sir! The plan to play the 'Phoenix' has been exposed."

Chen Fu is worthy of being a big boss, and said calmly:

"I get it! Aren't they just a few common people making trouble? Let them make it."

Xu En smiled bitterly and said, "Sir! Not only a few ordinary people, but also the leaders of the military and political departments all called and scolded me."

"What are you afraid of?!"

Chen Fu scolded, and said thoughtfully, "Who found it?"

"Xiang Chu!"

Xu En said without hesitation, in a cold voice,

"He found out when he invited a few young ladies to dinner outside the Political Department."

Chen Fu couldn't help but yelled, "Didn't I tell you to arrange for Xiao Xiao to keep an eye on him and arrest him as soon as he enters Kong Ling's office in the Telecommunications Department?"

Xu En said anxiously, "Of course it was arranged, and we contacted Deputy Minister Zeng to bring Kong Lingzhi up to the building for a meeting, but that guy refused to enter the Telecommunications Office alone."

Chen Fu nodded and said, "It seems that this kid is very vigilant."

Xu En suggested: "Sir! Since we have arrested Li Maocai, the director of the Archives Office of the Military Intelligence Department, why not let Dainong send this guy to hypnotize Li Maocai who refuses to speak, and kill two birds with one stone."

Chen Fu nodded and said, "Yes! This is a very good idea. I just want to verify Snow Avalanche's guess. For this small matter, you can contact Dai Nong directly and tell him what I said. At the same time, send Snow Avalanche to follow Xiang Chu throughout the whole process."

"Yes!"

Xu En hurriedly accepted the order.

With Chen Fu's support, he felt relieved and immediately called Dai Nong:

"Acting Director! Officer Chen just told me something that requires your intervention."

When Dai Nong heard what Officer Chen had said, he smiled and said:

"Director Xu! Please go ahead."

Xu En also smiled and said, "Commander Chen asked you to send Xiang Chu to the Central Military Prison to hypnotize your archive director Li Maocai. At the same time, let your new intelligence chief follow him. He is good at identifying the Red Party."

Dai Nong was unhappy when he heard that he wanted to use his trump card to achieve success, and said angrily: "How can Li Maocai be so stubborn? Why didn't he confess in the Central Military Prison?"

Xu En shook his head and said, "Your subordinates are too tough! They didn't say a word for more than 20 days. They are simply not human beings."

Dai Nong was very unhappy when he heard this and said coldly, "What are you talking about? The Party Affairs Office has already caught a lot of Red Party and Japanese spies, right?"

Xu En was afraid of angering him, so he hurriedly said, "Acting Director! It's the same as before. I blame myself for talking nonsense. Sorry!"

Seeing that he had given in, Dai Nong said with a smile, "Director Xu! I was just joking. OK! I will send Xiang Chu and Zheng Min to the Central Military Prison right away."

At this time, in Xiang Chu's office.

Liu Zhengxiong was anxiously reporting to Xiang Chu: "Leader! I asked Yang Jiang, Li Maocai is a comrade on their line. Moreover, they have found the place where Li Maocai is being held, and are about to organize a rescue."

Xiang Chu asked anxiously, "Where is Li Maocai imprisoned?"

Liu Zhengxiong said softly, "No. 51 Xiwang Road."

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "That was a trap set by Hua Kui. You must not go there. Tell me quickly! Does Yang Jiang know how Li Maocai was arrested?"

Liu Zhengxiong said anxiously, "Years ago, that is, the day after we attacked the secret base of the 'Fifth Column', Yang Jiang and his men received an order from their hometown to eradicate the fake 'Phoenix'. Li Maocai said that he met an acquaintance and suspected that he was the one who did it, so he took the initiative to undertake the tracking mission."

Xiang Chu asked in confusion: "Who is he following?"

Liu Zhengxiong said without hesitation: "Of course it's Hua Kui."

"wrong!"

Xiang Chu shook his head, paused, and explained,

"If Hua Kui was an acquaintance of Li Maocai, he would have arrested Li Maocai long ago. Moreover, after receiving the notice, Li Maocai would not dare to approach Hua Kui. There must be someone else."

Liu Zhengxiong said anxiously, "Leader! Yang Jiang said he would go to No. 51 Xiwang Road to rescue Li Maocai even if he died. Let's lend a hand."

At this moment, the office phone rang.

Xiang Chu hurriedly picked up the phone and heard Dai Nong's voice.

"Deputy Section Chief Xiang! The superior has ordered that you and Zheng Min go to the Central Military Prison immediately to hypnotize Li Maocai."

Xiang Chu pretended to be extremely surprised and asked loudly: "Director! Why did Director Li from the Archives Office go to the Central Military Prison?"

Dai Nong sighed, "Alas! Who would have known that this freeloader was actually a Red Party member lurking in the Military Intelligence Department, and he refused to speak. Commander Chen asked you to hypnotize him, and Chief Zheng of the Intelligence Department will assist you."

Xiang Chu exclaimed: "Oh! This is unbelievable. I understand and will go there immediately."

Dai Nong shouted, "Don't be afraid. He is an enemy now, not a comrade."

Having said that, he hung up the phone.

Xiang Chu put down the phone and said with a wry smile: "Lao Liu! Dai Nong asked me to go to the Central Military Prison to hypnotize Li Maocai."

Liu Zhengxiong was shocked and said, "Leader! If I let you hypnotize me, won't you also be exposed?"

Xiang Chu stood up and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry about that. I learned this incredible hypnosis technique and I expected that one day I would be able to hypnotize my comrades."

He paused, then said in a choked voice, "Old Liu! Go and tell Yang Jiang not to go to No. 51 Xiwang Road. Director Li has been imprisoned in the Central Military Prison and hasn't uttered a word yet. Don't evacuate yet. Let them wait for your notice. I'll make the final decision when I come back."

"Yes!"

Liu Zhengxiong nodded heavily and said in a choked voice,

"Leader! Lao Li is really a tough guy."

Xiang Chu patted his shoulder and said, "Be strong! Go quickly."

"You must be careful!"

Liu Zhengxiong gave some instructions and ran out.

“Is this a collaboration between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party?”

Xiang Chu was speechless. He put on his military cap and walked out of the room.

He drove with the head of the Intelligence Department, Zheng Min, straight to Jiangdong Gate.

Zheng Min asked with a smile: "Chief Xiang! Where are we going?"

Xiang Chu said calmly: "Central Military Prison!"

Zheng Min was shocked and asked, "That's the top of the four prisons. It's a scary and gloomy place. People who go in will never get out. Why are we going there?"

"Didn't the Director tell you?!"

Xiang Chu was very surprised, paused, smiled bitterly,

"Go help the Party Affairs Office and extract a confession from our archives director, Li Maocai."

Zheng Min was surprised and asked, "Is there such a thing? Is Li Maocai a member of the Red Party?"

Xiang Chu held up a cigarette and sneered, "Of course! He's still a particularly stubborn type."

Zheng Min smiled bitterly and said, "Chief Xiang! You said that this is the second time the KMT and the CPC have cooperated. Wouldn't it be a bad idea for us to do this?"

Xiang Chu glared at him and scolded, "Chief Zheng! You shouldn't say that. If I tell the director, you know the consequences."

Zheng Min laughed and said, "I was just saying it randomly. Haha!"

Xiang Chu also laughed and said, "To be honest, your predecessor as the head of the Intelligence Department was identified by me as a Japanese spy. Although he had many connections, he was still transferred to the Guangzhou Intelligence Station. I advise you not to be a Japanese spy or a member of the Red Party. Haha!"

"Of course not Zheng!"

Zheng Min said hurriedly, wiping the sweat from his forehead pretending to be scared.

While the two were talking, the jeep had already arrived at the Central Military Prison.

The surrounding walls are 7 meters high and there are soldiers armed with live ammunition everywhere.

From the prison gate to the cell, Xiang Chu secretly counted and found that there were 13 locks in total.

"This is probably impossible to escape even with wings!"

Xiang Chu thought to himself that with his abilities, it would be impossible to rescue Li Maocai without help.
