Chapter 340: Squeeze out their value

“It should be loud, but not loud at the same time?

"Teacher, what you mean is that we have to do the job, but we can't arrest anyone?"

Yu Zecheng quickly understood.

"That's right.

"If you let Wang Kun do it, he will definitely not do it seriously. If he runs away, who will be held responsible?

"In this case, you should report this to Team Leader Gu of the headquarters' detection and prevention team immediately.

"Let him catch the man."

Wu Jingzhong said.

"I report it? Teacher, I, I don't have the authority to do so." Yu Zecheng was a little surprised.

"That's right. From now on, whenever there is any work involving catching red-ticket items, you must report directly to Gu Zhengwen at the headquarters and Ye Xiangzhi at the Second Division." Wu Jingzhong said.

This is Hong Zhiyou’s opinion.

To put it bluntly, Wanbei Station is a scapegoat station.

How could Mao Renfeng and Jianfeng not know the information that I knew?

It is better to turn passivity into initiative and report all matters.

This station and the headquarters are jointly investigating the case.

Share the risks and minimize the risk of being blamed.

As for why it had to be presented to these two people, whether Hong Zhi made it clear or not, Wu Jingzhong probably knew something.

When Ye Xiangzhi was in Jingling, he began to flirt with Zhiyou. It is estimated that when he was trying to persuade Xu Zhidao to defect, he had already won this person over to the Jianfeng camp.

Gu Zhengwen arrived at Wandao a little earlier.

He seems to be Mao Renfeng's close confidant, and there is a high probability that he is secretly Jianfeng's man.

These two are smart people.

As the saying goes, a bystander sees more clearly. The father and son Chiang are now too lazy to even attend the CC's party meetings. It is obvious that they want to implement high-pressure dictatorship and reshuffle the party. Mao Renfeng is still clinging to the little power in his hands, which is simply tying himself up in knots.

Wu Jingzhong now has to get things done, but he doesn't want to appear to be too capable.

It's too mediocre, which is not conducive to winning resources for Zhiyou.

It’s too sharp. Jianfeng is unwilling to let go of the person. When can he return to Hong Kong?
More importantly, the Red Ticket is unstoppable, and with the US military intervening across the sea between the Taiwan Islands, it is hard to say whether it can be taken.

Xiangdao is just separated by a body of water.

Just hit him when he said so.

He shouts slogans and carries the banner every day, which greatly offends the red votes.

In the future, if the British can’t hold on and Hong Kong is liberated, won’t I be dead?

"But Gu Zhengwen is Mao Renfeng's man, so the credit is just going to go to them in vain.

"I'm afraid Jianfeng won't be happy."

Yu Zecheng frowned.

"This is not your concern. Go ahead and do it. Remember to notify Wang Kun and ask him to arrest the man." Wu Jingzhong sneered with his hands behind his back.

"Yes, teacher." Yu Zecheng accepted the order.

When I walked to the door, I saw Hong Zhiyou walking back from outside.

"Zhiyou."

Yu Zecheng grabbed his shoulders and dragged him to the office.

"The principal of Keelung Middle School, Zhong Yun, has been exposed. The stationmaster asked me to report to Gu Zhengwen to arrest him..." Yu Zecheng blinked, and his intention was obviously to see if he could find a way to rescue him.

"Let's talk downstairs." Hong Zhiyou didn't care about his tired face and stood up and walked out.

When he reached a quiet place downstairs, he lit a cigarette to refresh himself and frowned:
"Did you call Keelung Middle School?"

"without!

"I still understand the rules." Yu Zecheng said.

“You should be in jail now.

"Old Yu, times have changed.

"This is not Jinhai, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

"We work under the watchful eyes of Mao Renfeng and Jianfeng, and they know everything we do.

"So what if you can tip off?

"In the past, we used a cover, and the red tickets could go to Beiping, Baoding, or go through the docks.

“Now, there is sea on all sides.

“Where can they go?

“To put it bluntly, if you hide here and get exposed, you will die.

“Besides, the underground organization here is under the management of the East China Bureau, and you have no idea about their working methods and relationships.

"Let me guess, do you want to call Principal Zhong and tell him to evacuate?"

Hong Zhi has the Tao.

"I have indeed had this thought." Yu Zecheng did not hide it and nodded.

He hasn't found a transportation station yet, so he has to do things himself.

“Jianfeng and his team tracked down this clue three months ago.

“Why do it today?
"Is it just setting the net to catch the big fish, or is it targeting you?"

Hong Zhi has the Tao.

Yu Zecheng frowned and said nothing.

“It was my idea to propose reporting it to Ye and Gu.

“Just to get you out.

"So, you must report the intelligence to them accurately without missing a single word."

Hong Zhiyou held a cigarette and tapped his chest lightly.

"I understand." Yu Zecheng nodded.

“Old Yu.

"Do you think I really care about money?
"You only have one life, you can't make enough money, and you won't be able to stay here for long.

"I hope that when we come here, we are together, and when we leave, we are still together.

“Don’t underestimate the wisdom of the committee members.

"Dancing under his nose will lead to bloodshed."

Hong Zhiyou gave a few serious instructions and left quickly.

Yu Zecheng stood there, with his hands in his pockets, looking at the sky weakly.

This is not Jinhai.

He can't do anything, and he can't do anything.

restraint.

calm.

After taking a breath, Yu Zecheng took the information and went directly to the action team.

Wang Kun put his legs on the desk and greeted him coldly:
"Director Yu, is there anything wrong?"

"Captain Wang.

"According to intelligence, the principal of Keelung Middle School, Zhong Yun, is most likely the person in charge of Guangming Daily, and their underground printing factory is hidden in the school.

"The stationmaster asked you to take people over there and capture the person immediately."

Yu Zecheng slapped the information on the desk and walked out.

"Captain, shall we go?"

Deputy Captain Ma Jun asked.

"go.

"No, you pay the brothers' wages, but whether you can catch the perpetrators is another matter."

Wang Kun sneered, stood up, grabbed his clothes, put them on his shoulders and walked out.

Yu Zecheng returned to the office.

Picked up the phone.

……

Bureau of Security, monitoring room of the detection and prevention group.

Mao Renfeng walked in quickly: "How is Wu Jingzhong's call?"

"Bureau Chief.

"According to the feedback from the insider, Wu Jingzhong has just arranged a capture mission." Gu Zhengwen said.

"How is Yu Zecheng? Has he gone anywhere?
“A public telephone booth.

“Small shop.

"Or met someone?"

Mao Renfeng asked again.

"No, he hasn't left the station yet. But I saw Wang Kun leading people driving to Keelung." Gu Zhengwen said.

“Pretty stable.

“Watch their phone calls closely.

"Especially the intelligence department. If they find someone leaking secrets, they will be arrested immediately."

Mao Renfeng instructed.

As he was speaking, he heard one of the monitors say:
"Director, there's activity in the communications at the Intelligence Department at Bay North Station."

"Which one are you dialing?" Gu Zhengwen asked.

"Okay, it looks like Team Leader Gu's office." said the monitor.

"My office?
"Yes, it must be about work." Gu Zhengwen said hurriedly.

"Turn around." Mao Renfeng gestured.

Gu Zhengwen picked up the landline beside him and answered: "Hello, it's me."

"Quick, give it to me."

Mao Renfeng quickly stepped forward and put on the headphones himself.

Yu Zecheng's voice came from inside:
"Hello, is this Team Leader Gu?

"It's like this. We have information about the Guangming Daily case. We are short-staffed at the station, so the station chief asked me to let you know..."

hang up the phone.

Mao Renfeng put down his headphones and asked, "Are you not here to tip off the police?"

"Director, what should we do next?" Gu Zhengwen asked.

"Ok.

"Don't worry, the fox will eventually reveal its tail.

“I don’t think Wang Kun will buy into Wu Jingzhong’s argument.

"Well, go and capture that principal named Zhong for me.

“This matter was handled personally by the chairman.

"We still have to cooperate when we need to."

Mao Renfeng instructed.

"Yes!" Gu Zhengwen accepted the order.

……

Keelung Middle School, 9pm.

Zhong Yun walked into the back warehouse of the school.

Click, click.

The machine is printing newspapers.

"President Zhong, the recent publicity has been very effective. The National Taiwan University Committee has attracted a large number of young college students. Everyone is looking forward to the day when the sword will slash the blue waves."

Deputy Guo Wenbin said.

"Yes.

"The army is now unstoppable. In my opinion, Yuezhou and Kinmen are not far from liberation.

"The better the battle is on the front line, the more confidence students, scholars, farmers, merchants and workers will have in the organization.

“The armed forces trained by Comrade Chai Qian in Zhuzikeng and Luku are also ready to go.

"The last time I met him, Director Chai pointed out that when the monsoon arrives in April or May next year, the Liberation Army will cross the sea to launch a general offensive. We can then cooperate with the outside forces to wipe out the remnants of Chiang Kai-shek.

"The unification of the country is just around the corner."

Zhong Yun was very optimistic about the prospects and waved his hand proudly.

"Old Zhong, Comrade Chai Qian has been frequently attending high-end cocktail parties recently. It is said that he has also revealed his family background to raise funds from wealthy businessmen, and promised them treatment after liberation.

“This is not in line with the organization’s consistent principles and is also very detrimental to his safety.

"Why don't you ask Comrade Zhizhong to persuade him?"

Guo Wen reminded.

"Hey!"

Zhong Yun waved his hand indifferently and said:
“Comrade Chai Qian came from the Central China Bureau and is a veteran comrade who has been through a lot.

“The island is like no other place.

"Now that the remnants of Chiang Kai-shek are in a state of panic, we must also 'pursue victory'. Director Chai also wants to obtain more funds for us and attract more people with lofty ideals."

"Okay!" Guo Wenbin nodded.

As he was speaking, he heard the guard Luo Quezi shouting outside:
"Principal Zhong, someone is looking for you outside."

"Did you tell anyone when you came here?" Guo Wenbin asked subconsciously.

“No.

"I came here with makeup on." Zhong Yun said.

"No, how could anyone outside know that you were here?

“We may be exposed.

"Old Zhong, go out through the back door.

"I'll go meet him."

Guo Wenbin drew his gun and walked out quickly.

Zhong Yun went out from the back door.

As soon as I walked out the back door, I heard several gunshots.

Zhong Yun's heart sank, knowing that something was wrong. He walked to the wall and climbed up the ladder.

When he climbed over the wall, he saw a group of agents pointing guns at him.

"Principal Zhong, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Gu Zhengwen swung the gun.

Zhong Yun had no choice but to climb down from the wall. "Take him away!"

……

One o'clock.

Hong Zhiyou returned home drunk.

"Drinking again?" Wu Jingzhong lay on the rattan chair, opened his eyes and gently fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan.

“It was also thanks to drinking that I was able to come back.

“Miss Kong Er is too energetic.

"Go to the nightclub at 7, play mahjong at , and then party with a group of people and drink until dawn.

"I really can't stand it anymore."

Hong Zhi has the Tao.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Wu Jingzhong noticed that he was holding something as big as a brick.

"radio.

"I did it for Director Yu." Hong Zhiyou said.

“I think you are helping him do bad things.

“I got the news not long ago.

“Gu Zhengwen caught the principal surnamed Zhong, who is likely the head of the Red Ticket Keelung Working Committee.

“It’s a big fish.

"Maybe there will be another bloody storm."

Wu Jingzhong sighed.

Hong Zhiyou was also helpless.

He came to the island purely because he was "kidnapped", and it would be difficult for him to find an opportunity to leave before he created value that satisfied Jianfeng.

"I really don't want to fight anymore, so you better hold on tight." Wu Jingzhong looked at him and said.

“Teacher, don’t worry.

“I have promised to invest $100,000 in the Grand Hotel.

"Once we contact the Americans and obtain the grain comprador rights, and then manage it for a while and transfer it to Jianfeng, we should be able to get away to Hong Kong and concentrate on transportation and real estate."

Hong Zhiyou had already planned this.

“Well, you’re not going to lose all your pants, are you?

"Now tens of thousands of defeated soldiers are pouring into the island every day. How big will the food shortage be?
"Didn't you see how the people in the station's eyes lit up when they heard about distributing 100 kilograms of food?"

Wu Jingzhong said.

“There are gaps, but there are also opportunities, and there will definitely be losses in the early stages.

“Without bleeding, it will be difficult for Jianfeng to release people.

“But you’ll make more money in the long run.”

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

"Well, as long as there's money to be made, that's fine."

The two were chatting when someone rang the doorbell.

When Hong Zhiyou opened the door, he saw a woman standing at the door in the night. As soon as they met, she knelt down in front of Hong Zhiyou:
"Jingzhong, Secretary Hong, please save my old Qiao."

Hong Zhiyou looked closely and found that it was the wife of Qiao Jiacai, the former stationmaster of Peking.

“Yo.

"Mrs. Qiao, please come in quickly."

Hong Zhiyou quickly invited her in.

Obviously, Mrs. Qiao is a smart person. She knows that Old Wu is not useful now, so she came to look for him specifically.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Wu Jingzhong quickly stood up to greet her.

Hong Zhiyou prepared fruits and tea.

"Jingzhong, my family just came here in January, and Director Mao put him in a black jail. I haven't seen him since then.

"You and Zhi have extensive connections. Please, for the sake of our past friendship, help me find out whether he is alive or dead. Please give me some hope.

"This, this is the only thing we have at home.

"Jingzhong, please, help me."

She took out a cloth bag, opened it and revealed a jade bracelet and some gold and silver jewelry inside.

"sister in law.

"Aren't you insulting me?

"Old Joe and I are old brothers, even if you don't come, I will try to find out.

"Please take your things back."

Wu Jingzhong said hurriedly.

Hong Zhiyou also felt sad.

Mrs. Qiao used to be so wealthy and noble, but now she has a miserable face, wears ordinary clothes, and looks much older.

"Zhiyou, please see Mrs. Qiao off." Wu Jingzhong gave Hong Zhiyou a look.

Hong Zhiyou walked her outside, took out several hundred U.S. dollars from his pocket and stuffed them into Mrs. Qiao's hand:
"Mrs. Qiao, I will go and inquire about Stationmaster Qiao tomorrow. You can use this money for emergencies."

"Zhiyou, this, this won't do. You're doing this for me, how can I ask you for money?" Mrs. Qiao quickly refused.

"Take it.

"The price of food changes every day now. Without money, it's hard to move forward."

Hong Zhiyou stuffed the money back.

"Zhiyou, thank you." Mrs. Qiao expressed her gratitude and disappeared into the night.

Go back to the villa and close the door.

Wu Jingzhong said: "I have found out, if you can go and take a look, then go and take a look, if you can't, then don't force it.

"Don't get into trouble at this critical juncture."

"Okay, teacher." Hong Zhi nodded.

"By the way, salaries will be paid tomorrow. Have the rice and oil been prepared for the departments that have performed well?" Wu Jingzhong asked.

"Don't worry, teacher. Sun Xing and the others have already prepared these things and will be able to deliver them to the station tomorrow morning." Hong Zhiyou said.

Wu Jingzhong smiled and nodded.

Zhiyou is still as thorough and efficient as ever in doing things.

After taking a quick shower, Hong Zhiyou was finally able to get into bed. He fell onto the bed and fell asleep.

The next day, early in the morning.

Hong Zhiyou came to the living room.

Yu Zecheng has already prepared breakfast.

After dinner, Yu Zecheng got into Hong Zhiyou’s private car.

The science in the northern bay is not as good as that in Tianjin.

The only thing that is so generous is to provide a car to a section chief like Sheng Xiang.

People at the level of Hong Zhiyou and Yu Zecheng can only use official cars, and it is impossible for them to use them for personal purposes.

“The radio has already been bought.

"However, we must be careful. The Americans' radio technology is becoming more and more advanced, and radio station calls may even be faked," Hong Zhiyou reminded.

"Okay." Yu Zecheng nodded.

"correct.

"Gu Zhengwen used to work in the 115th Division. He is very familiar with the internal working mechanism of the organization.

“Now that Zhong Yun has been arrested, the troubles for the Working Committee may have just begun.

“I’m worried that Mao Renfeng and Jianfeng will use these people to write articles against you.

“You must hold on.

"Don't forget, your mission is to stay hidden. Don't get involved in anything unnecessary."

Hong Zhiyou gave these instructions while driving.

"Understood, understood!"

Yu Zecheng nodded repeatedly.

……

Arrived at the station.

Today is payday.

Wu Jingzhong had a table set up in the courtyard early in the morning, and the financial chief Wan Cheng placed stacks of New Taiwan dollars on the table.

Next to them are bags of white rice and barrels of tea oil.

Without the need for loudspeakers to urge them, staff from various departments had already gathered.

Everyone’s face was filled with joy…except Wang Kun.

“Everyone, today is your payday.

“It’s been less than a month though.

“But Wu still follows the rules, and only looks at the performance of each department during the few days I’ve been here. If there is an outstanding performance, all members of the department will receive a reward.

"Wang Cheng, let's start."

Wu Jingzhong sat at the head of the group and after a few simple words, gave the order.

"it is good.

“In the telecommunications group, all staff will receive the same salary, but their performance bonus will be doubled, and they will receive 100 kilograms of rice and 10 kilograms of tea oil as rewards.

“For the action team, if they fail to meet the targets, their salaries will remain the same, but their performance and bonuses will be cancelled.

"..."

After the distribution, most people in the department received rice, oil and bonuses, but the people in the action team were the only ones who looked on anxiously.

"What are you looking at? It's just rice and a little oil.
"Look at what you have accomplished.

"go!"

Wang Kun left cursing.

People like Ma Jun below were all cursing in their hearts.

Damn, you're having a great time following Lin Dingli.

Brothers, is it easy to support your family?

For a moment, everyone was filled with resentment.

After Wang Kun went out on business, Deputy Captain Ma Jun rushed straight to Wu Jingzhong's office.

……

Basheng Garden.

"Director, Gu Zhengwen has arrested Zhong Yun." Wan An brought tea to Jianfeng and said in a deep voice.

"Oh.

"Wasn't he caught at Wanbei Station?" Jianfeng asked with raised eyebrows.

"no.

"You gave the information to Wu Jingzhong, and Wu Jingzhong asked Yu Zecheng to pass it on to the detection and prevention team.

"Wang Kun was dawdling and refused to move.

"Fortunately, Gu Zhengwen acted in time and arrested Zhong Yun."

Wan An reported.

"Wu Jingzhong, this old wily guy!" Jianfeng laughed.

"Yes.

"He is investigating the case together. This will not offend Mao Renfeng, but will also allow Team Leader Gu to gain merit, and will not offend you.

"I'm very curious, how did he know that Team Leader Gu is your man?
"You should know that even Mao Renfeng has not noticed it, and still regards Gu and Ye as his confidants."

Wan An was puzzled.

“I’m curious, too.

"This father-in-law and son-in-law have become very clever. I now suspect that the rumors are true. That Hong Zhiyou is really good at predicting things." Jianfeng said.

"Director, what is Wu Jingzhong trying to achieve by being so cunning?

"The last time we met at Basheng Garden, he was also going to the bathroom every now and then, and he seemed to be sick and incapable of doing anything.

“He obviously doesn’t want to work.

"You have to know how many people are begging you to do things for them but they still don't have the chance. It's really hard to understand."

Wan An shook his head.

“What’s not clear?

“Let me tell you, even if Wu Jingzhong and Hong Zhiyou’s wealth is not as good as Kong Song’s, they are still second to none in the entire government.

"At least that many."

Jianfeng held up two fingers.

"Two million US dollars?" Wan An said.

“No, it’s 20 million.

"Why else would Kirk be friends with him? What do you think?

"If it were you, with such a huge fortune and Yu Zecheng by your side who could explode at any time, what else would you want to do?"

Jianfeng asked with a smile.

"Then it will be a peaceful life, of course." Wan An said.

"Really?" Jianfeng's eyes narrowed.

"No, I, I mean that Wu Jingzhong will definitely enjoy a peaceful life. The only thing on my mind is the safety of the party and the country." Wan'an looked panicked and explained quickly.

"Ok.

“That’s why I brought them to the island.

“As long as Hong Zhi has them here, he can get back the money they have plundered from the Party-State bit by bit.

“Even if we can’t get them back, we have to squeeze out 60% to 70% of their value,” Jianfeng said.

"understood."

Wan'an looked at Jianfeng with a grim gaze, and a chill ran through his body.

After arriving at Wandao, he felt that the "prince" was obviously more violent and murderous than before, and was becoming less human like the chairman.

"Director, Hong Zhiyou is here." The guard walked in and reported.

“You go and get busy first.

"Tell him to come in."

A friendly smile appeared on Jianfeng's face again.
