Chapter 335: Burning the Security Bureau

Chapter 335: Burning the Security Bureau

Chapter 335: Burning the Security Bureau
Who doesn’t have some aspirations?
Xu Zhidao is keen on becoming a bureau director.

Why did he secretly communicate and flirt with people from the Guangxi clique?

Wasn't it just to watch Chiang Kai-shek's defeat and wait for this day?

I thought Mao Renfeng would know how to deal with the current situation.

He didn't expect that this damn old dog would leave him such a mess.

Almost no one on the list above is capable of doing dirty and tiring work. They are all people with connections, or clerks who do clerical work, registration, or errands.

With this stall, he could easily sell it by just shouting on the street.

Isn’t this just a makeshift team?

What’s even more annoying is that Xu Shoumei still holds the position of secretary, and Huang Yigong is in charge of the General Affairs Office.

In this way, his personnel and financial power are still under the control of Mao Renfeng.

"Director Xu, it's nothing. I'll go back to work first." Xu Shoumei saw that he looked unhappy and was secretly happy in her heart.

"Go."

Xu Zhidao nodded.

As soon as Xu Shoumei left, he slammed the table hard.

Son of a bitch.

How shameless!

……

night.

Xu Zhidao drove back home.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw the lady entertaining guests.

One of them was his old friend Ni Bin, and the other one had a short beard and was wearing a long gown and looked unfamiliar.

Ni Bin is a black market dealer.

In the past, Xu Zhidao resold intelligence in the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

Ni Bin is the one who delivers the goods.

"Old Ni, why are you here?" Xu Zhidao asked as he unbuttoned his clothes.

"You guys chat." Mrs. Xu said hello and left tactfully.

"Director Xu, congratulations on your promotion to the position of director. I came here specially to congratulate you, brother." Ni Bin bowed and congratulated.

"Brother, you are very well-informed."

Xu Zhidao sat down, took a sip of wine and said.

"Brother, you have achieved such a high position, but you don't seem very happy. I'm afraid you have some difficulties." The bearded man on the side said in a deep voice.

"Who are you?" Xu Zhidao frowned.

"Friend." The man nodded.

"Old Xu, you guys can chat. I have something else to do and I'll leave first."

Ni Bin smiled, stood up and left.

Xu Zhidao knew that Ni Bin had always been steady and would certainly not introduce anyone to him for no reason.

"Where are you from, bro?

"CC, Bureau of Secret Affairs, Guangxi Clique, or Chairman, Red Ticket?"

Xu Zhidao narrowed his eyes and stared at the person opposite him.

"My name is Hong Zhiyou. Since Director Xu has done black market business, he should know me." Hong Zhiyou looked at him and tore off the beard on his face, revealing his handsome features.

"It's you?
"How dare you! You have destroyed President Lee's plan to divide the country into North and South. Instead of staying in Xikou, you dare to come to Jingling and make trouble?
"Do you really think Li Zongren is a pushover?

"Aren't you afraid that I will take you and ask for credit at the Presidential Palace?"

Xu Zhidao said coldly.

"Not afraid.

“Although the chairman has gone to Xikou, the embassy is still there.

"I am still a member of the American Aid Materials Management Committee. Even if you tie me up and take me to Li Zongren, he will have to let me go.

"Besides, do you think that just because of a few words from me, the US military will give up and support the division of North and South?
“Ultimately, their focus is on Western Europe, and Li Zongren does not have much investment value.

"Isn't it?"

Hong Zhiyou took a sip of tea, raised his eyebrows and said lightly.

"okay.

“I don’t know you well.

"Not interested in anything you say, just go away."

Xu Zhidao frowned and impatiently ordered them to leave.

"Whether you are familiar with me or not, you can discuss it after I finish what I am saying.

"Director Xu is probably in a dilemma now." Hong Zhiyou said.

"I've just been promoted, so what's the difficulty?" Xu Zhidao asked with a sneer.

"First, the team that Mao Renfeng left for you is unfit for use. He has already transferred the best of the Bureau of Secrets to the Shanghai Office.

“Second, the future is uncertain.

"Even if Li Zongren trusts you, how long can you stay as the head of the Security Bureau?
“Don’t forget, Truman has made it clear that he’s not going to leave.

"With Bai Chongxi's limited military strength, do you think he can stop the Red Army's million-strong army?
"Once the city is captured, you will bear the deep hatred of the Military Control Commission and the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. If Li Zongren surrenders, you may be given a high position and generous salary.

"As for you, you will be condemned by all and will be dead!
"Isn't it a loss to guard such an empty shell just for the title of director?"

Hong Zhi has the Tao.

"Stop exaggerating!" Xu Zhidao slammed the table.

“Alarmist?

"Fu Zuoyi's 500,000-man army has surrendered, and Du Yuming has been captured. Do you think the Guangxi clique is more capable of fighting than the Chairman's ace army?

“Don’t forget, things are different now.

"The Red Army now dominates the north, with millions of soldiers and armor. Even if one person throws a brick, it can fill up the Yangtze River.

“Those who stay and harbor illusions about Li and Bai are fools.

"Have you ever thought about it?

"If Li Zongren is defeated, even if you are lucky enough to escape, will Mao Renfeng let you go?
"So, from the moment you took over as Director of the Security Bureau, one of your feet has already stepped into the gate of hell."

Hong Zhiyou stared at him and said grimly.

“Of course, you can deceive yourself.

“That’s all I have to say.

"Director Xu, please let me know if you are willing to be friends with Hong."

Hong Zhiyou stood up, put on his round hat and walked out.

Xu Zhidao sat on the sofa, his face pale and his whole body trembling.

“Zhi Dao, I think what Hong Zhiyou said makes sense.

"Didn't Li Zongren rely on the support of the U.S. military to squeeze out Chiang Kai-shek?

"Now that Truman has withdrawn the ladder and the red ticket is about to cross the river, he will be overwhelmed and at a loss as to what to do if Chiang makes the slightest move.

"In my opinion, Li Delin has no chance.

“This Secretary Hong has a good relationship with the Americans and is a close confidant of Jianfeng. He is also very popular in Hong Kong.

"Nowadays, everyone is trying their best to get out.

"There's no need to offend such a capable person.

"It won't hurt to have him as a friend. I can hear what he has to say."

Mrs. Xu, who had been eavesdropping in the side room, came out and patiently persuaded him.

"All right.

"I'll go get him back."

Xu Zhidao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and ran out quickly.

Hong Zhiyou had just walked a short distance from Xu's house and before he had time to get into the car, he was stopped by Xu Zhidao:
"Wait a minute, Mr. Hong.

"I have a jar of excellent new tea at home. Why don't you taste it before you go?"

"It seems that Director Xu has figured it out. Let's go and taste it." Hong Zhiyou smiled, closed the car door and turned back.

Took a seat.

Xu Zhidao was a little more respectful, and said while pouring tea:

"Mr. Hong, everything you said just now makes sense.

"Xu was blinded by fame and fortune for a while. Now he is in a difficult situation. He can neither advance nor retreat. He is like a boat in the turbulent river. He is confused and afraid. He really doesn't know how to break the impasse.

"You are a capable person, please teach me."

"The way to advance or retreat actually depends on Director Xu's decision. Your current position may seem insignificant, but you actually have great potential for development." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.

"Xu is all ears." Xu Zhidao raised his hand and said.

“You know I belong to Jianfeng now.

“To be precise, it was Jianfeng’s idea that I took the risk to come to Jingling to find you.

“It is well known within the party that the chairman intends to have Jianfeng reorganize the intelligence system.

"In this chaotic situation, Mao Renfeng's foundation has weakened, and Li Zongren is just a junior general, so it is difficult for them to accomplish anything great.

"And now that you have accepted the Secret Service, it may seem like a dead end, but in fact, it is a time when you can make great progress."

Hong Zhi has the Tao.

"What do you mean?" Xu Zhidao asked with great interest.

“You now have three trump cards in your hand.

“First, the legitimate title of the Bureau of Secrets.

“Two, big seal.

“Third, there is the financial budget of the presidential palace.

"Mao Renfeng wants to leave a mess for you, but you can also make the fake play real and set up a new mess to compete with him." Hong Zhiyou suggested.

"Yes.

"With the seal and the name, I can handle the funds according to the procedures. In this way, Mao Renfeng's Shanghai Office will have to look at my face." Xu Zhidao nodded.

"But you have to deal with Huang Yigong first. He is the director of the General Affairs Department." Hong Zhiyou said.

“It’s true.

"I have a good personal relationship with Huang Yigong, and he has long been dissatisfied with Mao Renfeng.

"It's not a problem on his side." Xu Zhi said.

“That’s easy to handle.

"I'll give you a list of names. These people used to be the secret backbone of the Jianfeng Youth League and have strong professional capabilities.

“To the outside world, they are students, businessmen, policemen, etc. who have fled to Jingling from all over the country.

"Mao Renfeng and Li Zongren couldn't find out their background. "After you use the funds to recruit these people, you can enrich the Bureau of Secrets for your use."

Hong Zhiyou took out a list from his pocket and handed it to him.

"In this case, I am doing work for Jianfeng?" Xu Zhidao said happily.

What he worried about most was that Li Zongren would be defeated.

Mao Renfeng will settle the score later.

If you were Jianfeng's "secret spy", you wouldn't have to worry about this.

"certainly.

"Given the current situation, once the Red Tickets cross the river, they will most likely retreat to the islands in the bay.

“When Jianfeng reorganizes the Security Bureau, your group will be a ready-made force.

"Can your official position and benefits be lost?"

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

"Okay, I promise you!" Xu Zhidao nodded after a little thought.

“But I have a difficulty at the moment.

“Li Zongren has issued a strict order to me that all the information on the Honggong Temple should be cleared up in the near future and should be handed over to the President’s Office for processing.

“These things are so important.

"I'm afraid if I hand it over, it will become an excuse for Mao Renfeng to attack me in the future."

Xu Zhidao frowned.

"You are afraid that Li Zongren will get the information, and the Chairman and Mao Renfeng are also afraid.

"The chairman has already instructed Mao Renfeng to destroy the information.

"Mao Renfeng plans to..."

Hong Zhiyou explained to him in detail what to do next.

"it is good.

"Thank you, Mr. Hong. Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading."

After the conversation, Xu Zhidao stood up and shook hands with Hong Zhiyou to say goodbye.

"Are we friends now?" Hong Zhiyou said.

"of course."

Xu Zhidao stood up and personally escorted Hong Zhiyou to the door.

……

The next day.

In the afternoon.

The phone in Xu Zhidao's office rang.

"it's me.

"it is good.

"it is good.

"Comrade Jianfeng, rest assured."

After a few brief words, Xu Zhidao hung up the phone.

He took the seal and put it in his bag, and asked someone to load a box of files that had been secretly sealed into the car.

“Secretary Xu, President Li has issued a strict order that the security of the Bureau of Secrets is of top priority.

"Notify those on duty to be on high alert."

When he arrived at the secretariat, he said hello and then left the Secret Service building.

Xu Shoumei is Mao Renfeng's man.

Then the fire will definitely start tonight.

Not only was he able to complete the destruction task assigned by Jianfeng, but when Li Zongren investigated later, the responsibility for the fire would fall on Xu Shou.

Moved to Xu Shoumei and recruited members of the Three Youth League.

In this way, the Secret Service truly becomes its own Secret Service.

Mao Renfeng could never have imagined it in his dreams.

He had been shrewd and calculating all his life, but one day he would end up hurting himself.

Think of this.

He couldn't help but admire the young Secretary Hong.

He really planned everything out for Mao Renfeng step by step.

Except...that box of secret information about Jinhai.

Hey!
Politics is really a dangerous thing.

Xu Zhidao sighed softly and quickly got into the car.

……

Nine p.m.

No. 38 Taihu Road.

This is Mao Renfeng's hidden house in Jingling.

He often issued secret orders here.

now.

He looked at the capable men in front of him and asked in a deep voice, "Cui Dacai, where is Stationmaster Shen?"

"Stationmaster Shen said that Hu Zongnan and the chieftain of the Xichuan tribe were discussing the formation of a guerrilla force, and asked him to return immediately to recruit soldiers from Burma and other places.

"Get on the plane and leave."

The leader, a horse-faced man named Cui Dacai, answered.

"When did you leave?" Mao Renfeng asked unhappily with a frown.

"About an hour ago." Cui Dacai said.

"This Shen Zui failed at the critical moment. What a sly old bastard!" Mao Renfeng slammed the table and cursed angrily.

Setting fire to the Secret Service is extremely risky.

If the information is leaked or the arson fails, it will be a disaster for both parties.

He originally wanted Shen Zui to plan and carry out the arson, so that someone would take the blame if it went wrong.

I didn't expect Shen Zui to grease his feet.

He just gave some advice, promised something nice, and then turned around and ran away.

"Director, are we still going to execute it?" Cui Dacai asked.

“Of course, this is the order of the chairman.

"Everything remains the same. The execution will take place tonight. I will personally keep watch for you."

Mao Renfeng was giving the order.

It was two o'clock in the night.

With the help of Xu Shoumei, Cui Dacai and others sneaked into the building of the Bureau of Secrets and burned all the gasoline hidden in the basement.

The once notorious Military Control Commission's collection of more than a decade of precious information and archives were officially burned.

The next day, Li Zongren was furious and ordered Xu Zhidao and the police station to track down the arsonist.

……

a few days later.

Hong Zhiyou packed up simply and prepared to fly back to Xikou.

Just opened the door.

Then two clerks came over carrying a box.

"Mr. Hong, this is what Director Xu asked me to give to you.

"It contains some of the remaining intelligence from the Bureau of Secrets.

“Mainly from Beijing, Tianjin and Haikou.

"Director Xu asked you to go through it. If there are no problems, he will pass it on to Comrade Jianfeng."

The person who spoke had a blank expression on his face, and it was obvious that he was a member of the Three Youth League.

"understood."

Hong Zhi nodded.

After the two of them left, he opened the box.

At the top are the two words "Jin Hai".

Hong Zhi realized that these were all secret agents of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, as well as information secretly reported by Li Ya, Lu Qiaoshan, Ma Kui and others.

He flipped it over.

There are those of Wu Jingzhong and Mu Liancheng, as well as speculation about Deng Ming.

He also colluded with the Americans to resell arms.

Hong Zhiyou is not worried about these.

Because Jianfeng knew all this.

The key is Yu Zecheng.

Jianfeng still has information about Yangjia Village and has always been suspicious of Yu Zecheng.

There is a lot of information here collected by Lu Qiaoshan and Li Ya.

Some are even shocking.

"Damn it!
"Why didn't the fire go out?"

Hong Zhi had a big headache.

Just as he was about to pull it out and take advantage of the fact that no one was destroying it, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

The Bureau of Secrets has so many archives.

Why were Tianjin, Haikou and Beijing preserved?

Should the words "Jinhai" be placed in the most eye-catching place on the box?
Xu Zhidao let himself get through it.

Are you reminding yourself?

Hong Zhiyou frowned, realizing that he almost made a big mistake.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly put all the relevant information about Yu Zecheng back to its original place.

Then, he slammed the box shut.

Ask someone to load it into the car and drive straight to the airport.
