Chapter 332: Counterattack Mao Renfeng
Chapter 332: Counterattack Mao Renfeng
Changjiang Road, inside the small house.
Hong Zhiyou and Yu Zecheng got out of the car.
There were quite a few people queuing at the door.
These people are here to see Manager Qiu for medical treatment.
I have to say that autumn is still quite good.
Qiu Qiu was sitting at the clinic table in the yard. He saw the two of them and quickly instructed his apprentice Song Abao:
"That's all for today. No more orders."
"Yes!"
Song Abao walked to the door and said, "Everyone, Doctor Qiu is tired. That's all for today. Friends behind us can come back another day. Thank you."
Then he closed the gate.
After examining the people in front one by one, he finished writing the prescription.
An hour and a half has passed.
Finally it was Yu Zecheng's turn.
Seeing his former superior now beaming with joy, Yu Zecheng suppressed his smile and stepped forward and said:
"Shopkeeper Qiu, long time no see."
“Why is it you?
"No, no, get out of here, Abao." Qiu Qi's face darkened and he said angrily.
"I, I came here to see a doctor, why are you kicking me out?" Yu Zecheng argued dissatisfiedly.
“Why? Why am I in a wheelchair now? Wasn’t it because you shot me?
"Get out of here. I won't treat your illness."
Qiu slammed the table and cursed.
"Sir, please go out." Song Abao stepped forward to stop Yu Zecheng.
"Shopkeeper Qiu.
"We can discuss it if you want. Director Yu was fair and impartial back then.
“A doctor has a kind heart. Besides, he is no longer working at Jinhai Station. He is just a patient who is eager to seek medical treatment.
"Your Excellency, please forgive me for the past."
Hong Zhiyou quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
“For Secretary Hong’s sake, I won’t bother with you.
"Abao, go block the door and don't let anyone in."
Qiu Qiu pointed to the door.
"Yes, Master." Song Abao obediently went out the door.
"Where are the guards?" Hong Zhi looked around and asked.
“Withdrawn early.
"Mao Renfeng monitored me for several years. There were so many dignitaries coming and going that if he wanted to identify them, he would have to arrest the entire Chiang Kai-shek team.
"Maybe he got upset and withdrew the spies here."
Autumn laughed.
"Old leader!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Zecheng pursed his lips, stepped forward and shook Qiu's hand tightly.
"Zhecheng Comrade!
"I know a little about what you did in Jinhai. You worked hard to get rid of Ma Kui and fight Li Ya." Qiu was very happy to see his old partner, his eyes were red.
"I'm nothing, I just made you suffer." Looking at Qiu's paralyzed legs, Yu Zecheng still felt guilty.
"Don't talk about this.
"I just received a new task from my superiors, and I can't find suitable personnel in Jingling. You came at the right time.
"The organization received news that Li Zongren was very ambitious.
"On the one hand, they are forcing Chiang to step down, and on the other hand, they are trying to persuade the Americans to intervene in the situation and divide the country by the river.
"Jiang acquiesced to his decision.
"Once the American army intervenes, the Soviet Union will inevitably intervene forcefully. The Americans will control the Kuomintang's puppet government, and the Soviet Union will also interfere with the unification of our Chinese nation.
“Such sinister intentions are extremely dangerous!
"How can our great China continue to depend on others and be divided by others?
“Our leaders absolutely disagree with this.
"My 500 million Chinese people would never agree to this.
“But the Soviet Union cannot be offended.
"Someone has gone to Stalin's side for secret talks, but drastic measures are still needed in North America. The organization has already sent people, and patriotic democrats are also lobbying.
“But this is far from enough and requires efforts from many aspects.
"Secretary Hong, you are a friendly person of our party and have a good personal relationship with Ambassador Smith and Commander Kirk. I would like to ask you to help.
"This is a matter of great importance for generations to come, so I hope you won't refuse."
Shopkeeper Qiu lowered his voice and spoke with hatred.
"I try my best."
Hong Zhi didn't refuse and agreed readily.
He knew that he could not play a big role in the trend of history.
I just hope to add fuel to the fire and do my bit.
“Turn left on the street and there is a small park. On the left of the second pavilion in the park, there is a crooked tree. Last time I went there to relax, I hid five gold bars underneath it.
“That’s the funding the organization gave me for this mission.
“I know you’re a businessman.
"Just think of it as the organization's reward for your hard work."
Shopkeeper Qiu said.
“Okay, I’ll take it then.
"But it may not be enough, I need more." Hong Zhiyou thought for a while and said.
It takes real money to lobby Kirk and his gang of foreign bastards.
Five gold bars are not enough to fill the gaps between my teeth.
His property had already been transferred to Hong Kong, and his bank had also been closed, so he had limited funds available for circulation.
"How much do you need?" asked Shopkeeper Qiu.
"At least fifty thousand US dollars." Hong Zhiyou spread out five fingers.
“Okay, I’ll figure it out.
“As long as we can stop the Americans from entering, it’s worth any amount of money.
"Go to the Meiluo Cafe tomorrow and someone will give it to you then."
Shopkeeper Qiu thought for a moment and said.
"Okay." Hong Zhi nodded.
"Manager Qiu, I want to ask Cuiping and the comrades at the Jinhai Transportation Station."
Yu Zecheng always abided by the organization's discipline and did not mention Liao Sanmin's name.
"Comrade Zecheng, the organization hopes that you will remain silent for a while.
“Not everyone can get close to Jianfeng.
“Your current function will be more important than in Jinhai in the future, and you will most likely have to continue to carry out undercover missions.
"so……"
Shopkeeper Qiu looked at him with complicated eyes.
Lurking is dangerous.
Chiang was defeated so miserably that there will inevitably be white terror and identification in the future. For the comrades hiding underground, survival will become increasingly difficult.
Yu Zecheng now has a lot of white hair on his temples.
I have been under too much pressure over the years.
Logically speaking, with the liberation of Tianjin and Haikou, he had successfully completed his organizational tasks. In order to ensure his safety, he should leave the underground work and devote himself to new construction.
But once the father and son Chiang retreated to the Taiwan Islands, intelligence remained a top priority.
Zecheng is still the first choice.
“Still lurking.
"All right.
"Anyway, there's no way to get out of Jingling now. If the organization needs me, I'll continue to hide.
"You, tell me about Cuiping."
Yu Zecheng frowned slightly, but still agreed.
"Well, because of your work requirements and confidentiality level, in order to ensure your safety, and because of the improper arrangements made for Comrade Cuiping in the past, there have been many problems with confidentiality. This time it will definitely be handled more carefully.
“Comrade Cuiping probably also needs silence.
"Her past pseudonyms, real names, and files all had to be changed, and even the places she had been to, such as Jibei, Jinhai, and even the neighboring Ludong, must not be kept.
“Exactly where she will be assigned and what her name will be, probably no one knows except the head of Line 1.
"But don't worry, when the time is right, I will do my best to find out for you."
Shopkeeper Qiu said.
"No, we've all been liberated, so why are we still so strict?" Yu Zecheng's voice trembled a little.
"certainly.
"After liberation, there are still many enemy agents hiding among the people. We must be extremely careful at this time.
"You are an old comrade, you should know the rules here."
Autumn said.
"But I...we just got married and haven't had time to report it to the organization...Cui Ping..."
Yu Zecheng felt inexplicably torn and his speech became incoherent.
He is not afraid of separation.
He was just worried about Cuiping.
She had been humiliated by me for several years, and if she was liberated, she would be a useless chess piece. Where would she put all her passion, blood, and fighting spirit?
How could she bear it with her fiery temper!
How could she be the village head or the county head and lead everyone to make steel and build canals?
Yu Zecheng regretted deeply in his heart. If he had been determined, he would have sent Cuiping away earlier.
She wouldn't be implicated by herself.
Hey!
Hong Zhiyou watched silently from the side, sighing with sympathy in his heart.
This is lurking.
This is the underground war.
Real and cruel.
After separation from wife and children, love lasts forever at first sight.
Only with faith in your heart can you move forward with heavy burdens!
"Comrade Zecheng, take care."
Qiu didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only say this.
"Old Yu, it's time to go."
Hong Zhiyou reminded Yu Zecheng.
"I will obey the organization's arrangements." Yu Zecheng gritted his teeth and said with red eyes.
"it is good."
I wrote the recipe quickly in autumn.
Yu Zecheng put the money in his pocket, turned around and left the villa.
Got in the car.
Yu Zecheng looked out the window, and his mood took a long time to calm down.
"Old Yu, don't worry. I will do my best to find my senior sister in the future. We will be reunited one day." Hong Zhiyou comforted him.
"Thanks.
"If I want to continue hiding in Jianfeng, I'm afraid I'll still have trouble getting past Mao Renfeng." He took a deep breath, suppressed the heavy burden on his mind, and quickly got into work mode.
"Ma Kui and Li Ya must have collected a lot of negative information.
“He released me and the stationmaster so readily.
"I'm afraid he's keeping this trick as a backup plan to catch me off guard in the future."
Yu Zecheng was no pushover either, and he was very quick to realize this.
He was grateful to the stationmaster in his heart.
If the webmaster wanted to save trouble, he could just execute him secretly and be done with it.
Now I have become a big trouble again.
The difficulty of lurking increases exponentially!
"Don't worry.
"Keep silent first and wait for the opportunity." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
……
The next few days.
Hong Zhiyou took the funds given by Manager Qiu, actively lobbied Smith, and made an appointment to meet with Kirk, commander of the Seventh Fleet.
Wu Jingzhong and Yu Zecheng were busy reviewing the list given by Jianfeng and identifying people who could be won over.
January 1, early morning. Honggong Temple, the headquarters of the Bureau of Secrets.
Jingle Bell.
The phone in Mao Renfeng's lounge rang.
He woke up thirsty and picked up the phone:
"it's me.
"Renchu, are you telling the truth?
"it is good.
“I immediately reported to the chairman.
"Don't panic, I'll arrange a plane for you now, wait for my news."
Mao Renfeng hung up the phone.
He quickly put on his clothes, gulped down a few gulps of water, ran downstairs, and called his adjutant:
"Quick, quick, go to the chairman's residence."
After half an hour.
He arrived at the Presidential Palace and said to the guard in charge:
"I am Mao Renfeng. Yes, I have something extremely urgent to report to the Chairman. Please report immediately."
moment.
The guard came back: "Director Mao, please."
Mao Renfeng walked quickly to the reception room.
The chairman was obviously still awake and drinking tea.
"Commissioner, something happened.
"Wang Puchen reported secretly that Fu Zuoyi wanted to surrender, and the Red Ticket representatives had secretly entered Beiping and confirmed that a peace agreement would be signed tomorrow.
"Beiping is going to be lost."
Mao Renfeng was shocked.
"Boom!"
The chairman pounded his cane heavily with both hands.
He trembled slightly, walked to the balcony with his cane, and looked at the stars in the distance:
"Fu Zuoyi has let me down.
"When I ordered him to go south, he kept shirking his responsibilities. I never thought he would rebel.
"This thief is shameful and hateful."
Mao Renfeng hurriedly said: "Chairman, once Peking is lost, the 500,000-strong army will be in the hands of the Reds. Their military strength is nearly 4 million, and the situation is very unfavorable to us.
"I apply to get rid of Fu the thief."
"Forget it, if he wants to leave, let him go. Don't waste your energy on a useless person!" The chairman shook his head.
"Chairman, my people are ready, Li Zongren..." Mao Renfeng said again.
“Cancel it.
"Once the Reds have taken Peking, they will certainly march south.
“Isn’t he highly regarded by the Americans?
"Haven't he and Bai Chongxi always been unwilling to be inferior to others?
“Let them show the law, let them fight with the red tickets, fight, and defend Jingling.
"I will go to Xikou tomorrow.
"I want to see what tricks Li Delin can come up with."
The chairman said in a deep voice.
"Take it, cancel it?" Mao Renfeng couldn't believe it.
“Yes, cancel.
"Qi Wu, Li Zongren has coveted the presidency for a long time. Once I leave, he will definitely attack the Bureau of Secrets.
“You have to be ready.
"It is important to keep the team well. It is not important what the secret service is called. What is important is to keep the backbone and elites in our hands.
“Why can red tickets develop?
“It’s because they value talent, and so do you, you have to keep people.
"The green hills are still there, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood."
The chairman gave solemn instructions.
“I understand.
"Commissioner, please take care of yourself."
Mao Renfeng bowed and retreated.
"Yisheng, ah Yisheng, why did you let me down!"
The chairman looked up at the sky in the distance. The mountains and rivers seemed colorless, and he couldn't help feeling desolate.
……
Inside a restaurant in the alley.
Hong Zhiyou was smoking a cigarette slowly. Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged man in a long gown.
"Secretary Hong, long time no see." The man said with a smile.
His name is Fang Qing.
He used to be Ma Hansan's confidant.
He once followed Ma Hansan to Jingling to canvass votes for Li Zongren.
After Ma Hansan's death.
Fang Qing was also originally imprisoned in the Peking Prison by Wang Puchen.
His wife went to Liu Yuzhu to plead for mercy.
It was Hong Zhiyou who stepped in and asked Fu Zuoyi's adjutant Sun Wenjing to rescue the man.
Fang Qing didn't dare stay in Peiping any longer and came to Jingling.
Li Zongren felt that he had let down Lao Ma, so he kept Fang Qing by his side as a guard.
"Brother, you are more charming than before." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
"Secretary Hong, it's all thanks to your great blessing.
"If you hadn't rescued me back then, I would have died in Wang Puchen's interrogation room. I wouldn't have the chance to sit here and talk to you." Fang Qing said.
"You also know the relationship between me and Lao Ma, we are not strangers so I will speak frankly.
"Mao Renfeng wants to send someone to assassinate General Delin.
“There is a grocery store near Guanghua Gate. It is Mao Renfeng’s monitoring point. Once General Delin takes a plane, they will use fighter planes to shoot down the general’s car.
“There is also a bookstall outside the general’s house in Fuhougang, Gulou.
“The stall owner’s name is Wu Dehou, a veteran of the Linli class, and he is in charge of supervision.
“Once Mao Renfeng gave the order, Qin Jingchuan and Wang Hanwen would immediately carry out the assassination.
“There are spies around Commander Bai’s residence as well.
"I have to guard against it."
Hong Zhiyou whispered.
"Qin Jingchuan?
“I know these two men, they are both famous veteran assassins of the Military Control Commission.
"Is Secretary Hong's situation true?"
Fang Qing said in shock.
"Do you think I'm joking?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
"Okay, I'll go back and report to General Delin immediately." Fang Qing said.
“It’s just that I’m curious.
"You are working for Jianfeng now, why did you leak this information to me?"
he asked in confusion.
"It's simple.
"General Delin was a famous general in the anti-Japanese war and he should not have suffered this disaster.
"Besides, if someone punches you, would you fight back?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
“That depends on who it is.
"I don't dare to hit Wang Puchen anyway.
"But you are Secretary Hong, I understand!"
Fang Qing made a joke, stood up and shook hands to say goodbye.
Hong Zhi did this for two purposes.
Looking for a place is real.
Mao Renfeng had a trick up his sleeve. Since it was inappropriate to confront openly, it was okay to pass the knife secretly.
Furthermore, help Lao Yu eliminate the black materials.
This also eliminated a major hidden danger for Lao Wu and Jianfeng in the future.
Historically, Mao Renfeng burned down the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, destroying almost all the information.
But with the current strength of Li Zongren, Mao Renfeng has plenty of time to slowly transfer the important information and archives of Honggong Temple.
Hong Zhiyou must give him some advice.
Of course, the premise for him to dare to do so is that the Chairman and Jianfeng do not want Li Zongren to die now, and they do not want the information and files of the Bureau of Secrets to be left behind to help Li Zongren.
……
office.
Li Zongren was smoking and reviewing documents.
Fang Qing walked in and immediately reported Hong Zhiyou's information.
"I've long noticed that something is wrong with that bookstall, it turns out he's Mao Renfeng's lackey.
"Send someone to arrest them immediately."
Li Zongren was furious and gave the order immediately.
"Yes, Vice President."
Fang Qing accepted the order.
……
2 p.m.
Shen Zui, wearing a Zhongshan suit, came to Honggong Temple.
"Stationmaster Shen, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come and sit down." Mao Renfeng came to greet him and sat on the sofa.
"Commander, are we going to carry out the mission?" Shen Zui asked excitedly.
"No.
"The Chairman issued an order last night to cancel the assassination plan." Mao Renfeng said.
"why?
"This is a God-given opportunity. If we miss it, Li Delin will become powerful and it will be even more difficult to get rid of him in Jingling."
Shen Zui frowned in confusion.
“After all, this is an internal party dispute, and the most urgent task is to point the gun outward to prevent the red votes from moving southward.
"The Chairman's intention is to let Li Zongren struggle for a while.
"Let your people withdraw."
Mao Renfeng said righteously.
"Okay." Shen Zui said.
As he was speaking, the guard came in and whispered something into Mao Renfeng's ear.
"I understand." Mao Renfeng's face darkened and he frowned.
"What happened?" Shen Zui asked when he saw that he looked strange.
"To be honest, Li Zongren has just captured a group of our people.
"Among them, Wu Dehou was arrested, while Qin Jingchuan and Wang Hanwen resisted arrest. One was shot dead, and the other committed suicide by taking poison."
Mao Renfeng said in a deep voice.
"hateful!
"Li Zongren is not familiar with the place. How did he and Bai Chongxi's group of stupid soldiers know the information?" Shen Zui said angrily.
“This is very strange.
“What an eventful time!
"Go back first and pretend you know nothing.
"Li Zongren sent me over, and I guess there will be a lot of arguments."
Mao Renfeng slapped his forehead with a headache.
"Commander, will it be dangerous for you to go to Li Zongren's official residence?
"You also know that he has always had a deep hatred for our secret service. If he attacks you, you will be hard to guard against."
Shen Zui frowned and said worriedly.
"Not really. The chairman is still the president, and Li Zongren hasn't taken office yet. I don't think he would dare to touch me.
"Besides, Wu Dehou may not confess.
"Don't worry, I'll go meet Li Delin."
Mao Renfeng said with confidence.
After seeing Shen Zui off, he got in the car and headed straight for Li Zongren's official residence.
