Chapter 353 There is no mouth in this world that I can't pry open
In the bathroom.

Hong Zhiyou was taking a shower while thinking hard.

Unlike the history before liberation, there were many reference films, TV dramas and information materials in the previous life, and he knew all about characters such as Shen Zui, Dai Li and Mao Renfeng.

But on the Taiwan Island, especially during the White Terror, Hong Zhiyou never paid much attention to it, and did not have many reference sources.

At this moment, he was also completely in the dark.

I just know that the working committee here is incompetent and is setting up an armed base.

The first person in charge of the Working Committee, Chai Qian, finally rebelled and almost destroyed the entire underground organization. The Bureau of Secrets captured and killed as many as a thousand people, and the loess of Mabacho was dyed red with blood.

Among those who died was Deputy Minister Wu Zhiqing.

Chai Qian should be "Lao Zheng."

Chen Dakai was his deputy and has now been arrested. Chai Qian is very likely to be the next one.

If we want to keep the Working Committee, we must take the initiative and get rid of this person.

The problem is that Hong Zhiyou has no idea where people like Chai Qian and Zhang Wencheng are active or where they live.

It might be difficult to find him right away.

Moreover, Chai Qian had participated in the Long March and served as Minister of the Enemy Work Department during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and had an impressive resume.

That was the East China Bureau, and even Yu Zecheng, Deputy Minister Wu and other senior comrades had firm beliefs and rich experience in struggle.

I want to be too radical and take action before Chai Qian is arrested.

By then, Chai Qian would have truly become a martyr and a hero.

He would be accused of assassinating the head of the Wandao Working Committee, and would be a complete lackey of the Secret Service, and he would never be able to clear himself of the charges.

Not only that, Mao Renfeng and Jianfeng have spies everywhere. Once they find out that I have eliminated the "hot commodity" they have always dreamed of, won't they kill me?
Hey.

Sometimes knowing too much can be frustrating.

It's difficult both inside and outside.

In this kind of situation, Hong Zhiyou usually does his best and leaves the rest to fate, never allowing himself to suffer any loss or fall into danger.

First look for firewood secretly.

The time is right, so let Yu Zecheng inform Deputy Minister Wu.

Having made up his mind, he completely put the matter aside.

……

Secret Service.

Mao Wanli walked into the office and closed the door:
"Brother, Hong Zhiyou is back."

"Okay, I get it. The newspapers were hyping it up a few days ago. The old man is going to carry this kid's sedan chair. He's the next Shen Zui." Mao Renfeng raised his chin and sighed helplessly.

“This guy does have some skills.

"He managed to pry the American aid and food, which even his wife couldn't get, from MacArthur with his sweet words," said Mao Wanli.

"Yes.

"Kong Lingkan is also a loser. He let him know the secret, and not only did he fail to deal with Hong Zhiyou, but he also got Wu Fangzhi and Ikeda Sugami involved.

“Madam is very angry now, but she can’t do anything to him.

“I used to think that Hong Zhiyou relied on Wu Jingzhong, but now I can only say that we were all wrong.

"This guy is our real troublemaker.

"Now that Jianfeng has him, he has both money and fame. The situation is very unfavorable for us." Mao Renfeng said.

"According to the underground intelligence feedback from our Tokyo Station.

“Hong Zhiyou once secretly met Rong Bin of Hong Kong Rong Group.

“The Rong family is pro-Hong.

"And the Rong family also has shares in the shipyard that Hong Zhi owns. Isn't this all evidence of his pass?"

Mao Wanli frowned.

“What kind of evidence is this?
“Businessmen pursue profits, so it is understandable that he invested in the Rong family to build a shipyard.

“Do you think these old guys don’t know?
“As long as he is still working for Jianfeng and can create value, no one will care even if he sells rice to Peking.

“Our focus is still Yu Zecheng.

"As long as we can get him and drag Wu Jingzhong into this, once the media reports it, even if Hong Zhiyou survives, it will be hard for him to gain a foothold in Taiwan."

Mao Renfeng said coldly.

“Well, it’s just that Chen Da was very stubborn and refused to confess.

“He is the deputy director of the Wandao General Working Committee.

"It's impossible that he doesn't know Lao Zheng. No matter what, he has to speak up."

Mao Wanli said with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Is Qin Shuangcheng still here?" Mao Renfeng suddenly thought.

"After this dog traitor identified Ma Kui in Jinhai, he was saved by Zheng Jieming and was brought here with the others during the retreat. He is now in jail," said Mao Wanli.

"Release him and transfer him to the torture room.

"At all costs, make this guy talk."

Mao Renfeng ordered.

"Yes!" Mao Wanli accepted the order.

……

Shilin official residence.

The chairman, dressed in a long gown and a mandarin jacket, was walking in the back garden with Jianfeng.

"Father, I got the news that Hong Zhiyou is very close to the Xiangdao Rong family..." Jianfeng walked half a step slower and said.

"It's the wind that Mao Renfeng let out.

"Many people are jealous, and they hope that you will cause trouble within your family and cut off your own hands and feet.

"When Du Yuming was in the Northeast, Chen Cheng kept telling me to change his troops here and there, disrupting all the deployments and ultimately leading to a complete defeat.

“Now that I think about it, if the Northeast and East Shandong had not listened to slander and interfered excessively with Du Yuming, perhaps the war would not have turned out like this.

"Now that the U.S. military is unwilling to support us, it will be difficult to launch a counterattack in a short period of time with only the limited forces on the island.

“Strengthening the economy and maintaining stability are the top priorities.

"Even if Hong Zhiyou is a secret agent of Hongpiao, there is not much intelligence to be passed on to him on this small piece of land on the island. On the contrary, he has brought us unimaginable benefits.

“The merits far outweigh the faults.

"You can just turn a blind eye and not listen to the gossip.

"Besides, he is a businessman, and his family is all in Hong Kong. He doesn't dare to offend the local bosses, so it is understandable that he has to be polite.

“Of course we need to check the red tickets, but we must not be paranoid.

"I said before, as long as the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, I will allow and even be happy for Hong Zhi to take advantage.

“People are all profit-seeking.

"One-nine, two-eight, or even three-seven, we are the winners after all, which is much better than Kong Song and his gang taking money from the Americans with their left hand and then giving it back to the manor in North America with their right hand."

The chairman's face was obviously smiling a little more than before.

"Father, you seem to be in a good mood today." Jianfeng hadn't seen his father smile for a long time.

“With money and food, there is no need to panic.

"Besides, it's also gratifying to see your growth."

The chairman said with hope in his eyes.

"Chairman, Director, Hong Zhiyou is here." Yu Jishi walked in and reminded respectfully.

"Jianfeng, go and greet him.

"Be respectful to the wise!"

The chairman ordered.

"Yes, father." Jianfeng walked briskly to the door.

The car stopped.

The security personnel came forward and checked it carefully.

Jianfeng saw that the search was almost over, so he walked over and waved his hand, saying, "No need, Secretary Hong is not an outsider."

"Director, how dare I trouble you?" Hong Zhiyou said respectfully.

“You are a contributor to the Party and the country, and you are also my man.

"It's nothing."

Jianfeng laughed out loud.

"When you meet your father later, you must be careful with your words and actions, especially regarding matters concerning the two sides of the Taiwan Strait." He reminded in a low voice as they walked.

Got inside.

The chairman sat on the sofa.

"My subordinate greets the Chairman." Hong Zhiyou stepped forward and saluted.

“Young and promising!
"Take a seat."

The chairman sat down at the table first.

The meal was simple, with six dishes and one soup.

"Zhiyou, the chairman usually serves three dishes and one soup, but I specially added three meat dishes since you came today." Jianfeng said with a smile.

Hong Zhiyou, who had just sat down, quickly stood up again and said:

"How can I be worthy of such an honor?"

"I can bear it. I can bear it." The chairman pressed his hand down, motioning him to take a seat.

Just a few words of praise.

The chairman signaled that dinner was ready.

Hong Zhi didn't try to be reserved. He picked up his bowl and chopsticks and started eating with relish.

After eating a few bites, he put down his bowl and chopsticks with a slightly awkward look and said apologetically:
"Commissioner, Director, I grew up in a poor family, so I developed a rude manner of eating fast.

“Besides, I was favored by the director in Shanghai, and Zhiyou regarded me as a brother and a family member. The director also spoiled me, so the rules of eating became even more unruly.

“It was really reckless and inappropriate to act in front of the leader today.

"Please punish me, Mr. Chairman."

Jianfeng nodded and explained with a smile: "Father, this is indeed how he eats, and he is quite similar to me.

“I was hungry in the Soviet Union and developed a habit of wolfing down my food.

“It hasn’t changed yet.”

The Chairman was very pleased to see this sincere scene.

Everyone who comes here is respectful.

Hong Zhi has a rare character, he is a real person.

"It's okay. You are young people. You should take care of your health after work." The chairman's tone was indifferent and without any emotion.

Apart from picking up his chopsticks at the start of the meal, he spent most of the time asking questions.

For example, MacArthur’s attitude and position.

Especially when he heard that MacArthur was going to reignite the war and get involved in the Northeast, the old man was very excited and for the first time ever asked Jianfeng to pour him a glass of red wine.

"Zhiyou, your mission to Tokyo this time was well worth it.

"In your opinion, will MacArthur really fight?" The chairman's tone became much more friendly.

"This person is extremely ambitious and there is a high possibility that he will send US troops to the peninsula." Hong Zhiyou answered truthfully.

"Once the U.S. military is gone and the Red Army is dragged into the war, the defense pressure in the Kinmen area will be reduced by a factor of two, and it will be a perfect opportunity for a counterattack.

"Father, God helps me."

Jianfeng said happily.

Hong Zhiyou was speechless. Are you too superstitious about the US military?
“Well, it is indeed a rare opportunity.

"Some time ago, Zhang Qun and I were discussing a problem. Since today is a family dinner, I will test you as well.

"There are congressmen in North America who are secretly talking to my wife, trying to persuade me to declare independence and establish a country, so as to perhaps get more assistance.

"What do you think?"

The chairman looked around at the two of them, his eyes so deep that it was difficult to guess his true attitude.

Jianfeng decided to play it safe, "Zhiyou, tell me."

“Yes, Director.

“I think this move is tainted with evil intentions.

"The two sides of the Taiwan Strait are brothers who are connected by blood and share the same roots. Political disputes and fights between the left and the right are also their own affairs.

“Once the nation is declared, it is divisive.

“It will definitely be nailed on the pillar of shame in history.”

Hong Zhiyou put down his chopsticks and said seriously.

The chairman's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Jianfeng said nothing.

Hong Zhiyou then said generously: "Chairman, what I just said is known to everyone.

“But there are three more harms.

"First, most officers, soldiers and their families are from the mainland. Their roots and relatives are on the other side of the strait, and they always want to go back.

“If a country is established, it will undoubtedly sever their ties to their homeland, which is not conducive to unity and will be dangerous.

“Secondly, I’m alone.

“The two sides are mortal enemies, the fighting will only get more intense, and there will be no more room for negotiation.

“After being completely separated from the mainland, the economy will lose a naturally close and huge market and become too dependent on US aid.

"In this way, the US will completely control and sideline the Party-State. At that time, will the island listen to the Chairman, or Truman? Or the Kong and Song clan?

"If you are alone, your party and your people will perish.

“It does not benefit the people or myself in the slightest.

"I sincerely hope that the chairman and director will be cautious."

After Hong Zhiyou finished speaking, he looked at the two silent people.

The commander struck his cane, stood up and left without saying a word.

Jianfeng looked at Hong Zhiyou with displeasure.

Having said that, there is no need to talk any further.

Hong Zhiyou and Jianfeng walked out of the official residence.

"Zhiyou, what you said is exactly what I meant. Both sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family. This is the premise.

"It's also our bargaining chip with the Americans."

Jianfeng walked down the stairs with his hands behind his back.

"Director is wise, but the chairman seems a little unhappy. Did I say something wrong?" Hong Zhiyou asked in a low voice.

"Won't.

“Father has aged a bit in recent years, but he’s not completely confused yet.

"He is just mad at his wife and sulking.

"Oh, Madam is always so selfish. Kong Song has taken so much money but is still not satisfied. It's really too much." Jianfeng sighed.

"By the way, my father has appointed me as the director of the Presidential Office Information Group, directly managing the Security Bureau, the Security Command and other intelligence systems.

“Recently, Mao Renfeng has made a lot of achievements in the intelligence war.

“I am busy preparing for the General Political Department again.

“You have to keep an eye on this.

"I will appoint you as the director of the data group's operations department. Cooperate with Mao Renfeng to find that 'Old Zheng'. Remember, you must find this person before he does and get first-hand intelligence.

“This will be a major case that will shock both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

"Whether the data team can make a good start depends on you."

Jianfeng warned solemnly.

"I'm short of manpower." Hong Zhiyou said.

"You can use your own people. If they are not enough, you can go to the Security Department and the Bay North Police Department to transfer people." Jianfeng said.

"I will definitely fulfill my mission." Hong Zhiyou accepted the order.

He knew that from this moment on he had officially entered the core layer of the intelligence system and had the right to compete head-on with Mao Renfeng.

……

Zhishanyan Security Bureau Headquarters.

Qin Shuangcheng, who was as thin as a stick and had mostly gray hair, wore an ill-fitting suit and came to Mao Renfeng's office like a paper man: "I want to see Director Mao."

“Twin Cities.

"You are a veteran in the secret service system. I am transferring you to the interrogation department this time because I want you to help me interrogate someone.

“This person is the deputy director of the Red Ticket Working Committee, his name is Chen Dakai.

"No matter what, you have to pry open his mouth and find the head of the working committee codenamed 'Lao Zheng'."

Mao Renfeng tapped the table lightly and gave the order.

“Don’t worry, Chief.

"There is no mouth in this world that I can't pry open." Qin Shuangcheng said coldly.

"very good.

"From now on, all the people in the interrogation department will be under your command.

"If you have any questions, you can report to the Detection and Prevention Team at any time... No, report to Director Mao of the Confidential Secretariat."

Mao Renfeng thought about it and felt that this matter was too important, so he decided that his sixth brother was more reliable.

"it is good.

"I'll go prepare first." Qin Shuangcheng took the order and left efficiently.

"Brother, don't you even trust Team Leader Gu and Ye Xiangzhi?" Mao Wanli was a little puzzled.

“It’s not that I can’t believe it.

“This matter is really too important.

"My wife is lobbying the President to establish a country. Once the President agrees, he will definitely rely more on my wife in the future, and there will even be a large number of US troops stationed on the island.

“I am now the sword in the lady’s hand.

"As long as this shot is successful, we can gain more political bargaining chips in the future.

"Doesn't Jianfeng's crappy data group like to point fingers?

"He will suffer when the time comes."

Mao Renfeng said coldly.

He finally managed to get rid of Dai Li and send Zheng Jieming away, and then sat on the throne of the intelligence system.

Jianfeng has not made any achievements for many years and now wants to reap the benefits.

There are no doors.

“Gu Zhengwen and Ye Xiangzhi can certainly be used, but you need to personally command the entire process.

"Also beware of Jianfeng's people."

Mao Renfeng reminded again.

“Brother, who will Jianfeng send?

"Zheng Jieming and Tang Zong, these two old foxes will definitely not get involved in this mess. Apart from them, who else is qualified to compete with you, big brother?" Mao Wanli asked puzzledly.

“Isn’t this already available?

“Major General Hong Zhiyou!

"In the past, anyone who could get a meal from Boss Dai would have enough power to walk all over the Military Control Commission.

“Now the chairman is personally treating us.

"He has performed a great deed, and even Chen Cheng helped to carry his sedan chair. His prestige is very high.

"Plus, Jinhai Station and we have always been at odds, so isn't this the most suitable candidate?"

Mao Renfeng put his left hand behind his back and raised his index finger with certainty.

"This kid is really cunning and difficult to deal with." Mao Wanli frowned.

“It’s him I’m waiting for.

"Hong Zhiyou will be awarded the title tomorrow morning. As long as Qin Shuangcheng can capture Chen Dakai before Hong Zhiyou arrives at the Security Bureau station.

"We can lead him to the pit.

“Maybe we can catch the big fish Yu Zecheng.”

Mao Renfeng smiled and discussed specific countermeasures with Mao Wanli.

"Very good.

"Brother, this move of yours is simply brilliant. No matter how cunning Mr. Hong is, he can't escape your plan." After hearing this, Mao Wanli praised him earnestly.

"Okay, let Qin Shuangcheng speed up the interrogation." Mao Renfeng ordered.

……

The next day.

Bashengyuan Conference Hall.

Jianfeng personally awarded Hong Zhiyou the rank of major general.

While Wu Jingzhong was sitting below and applauding, he felt very uncomfortable.

Bastard.

He always says he doesn't want to be an official.

Boss Dai and I have been through a lot for a lifetime, but he is only a major general.

In just a few years, the 26-year-old Hong Zhiyou was promoted to general.

He is even more majestic than the original Shen Zui.

What's even more depressing is that this guy suddenly became the director of the operations department of the information group, supervising the secret service's spy-catching operations, a true imperial envoy.

Even I have to obey his orders.

Hey.

Hedong in thirty years and Hexi in thirty years.

The future belongs to the young.

After the ceremony, Hong Zhiyou left Bashengyuan and got on the car.

"Mao Renfeng brought out the cruel official Qin Shuangcheng." Wu Jingzhong reminded with his arms folded.

"Teacher, when did it happen?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"Yesterday at noon, Mao Wanli went to pick up the person in person." Wu Jingzhong said.

“Almost twenty-four hours have passed.

"With Qin Shuangcheng's methods, Chen Dakai might not be able to withstand the interrogation and die now." Yu Zecheng, who was driving, frowned.

"Not urgent.

"I'll go to the Secret Service first."

Hong Zhiyou said in a deep voice.
