Chapter 383 Return to Xiangdao, Zhan Jin's Secret Report
Chapter 383 Return to Hong Kong Island, Zhan Jin's Secret Report
3pm.
Jianfeng drove the same Mercedes-Benz car to the Security Bureau office.
It was said to be a meeting, but the two played chess in the office for two hours.
"You, you've never won a game of chess with me before.
"Now, I haven't won a single bet.
"I don't want to play anymore. It's boring."
Jianfeng put down the chess piece and complained with a smile.
“Not winning is winning, and losing is not necessarily losing.
"Director, you didn't lose this round." Hong Zhiyou stood up and said.
"That is.
"With you here, how can I lose?
"Let's go. Some people are probably waiting impatiently."
Jianfeng, Wan'an and their group walked out first.
I heard footsteps on the third floor.
Du Changcheng and Hu Lingying rushed to the window as quickly as possible.
"The show is about to begin. The Kong family said how much bonus there will be after the deal is done?" Hu Lingying asked anxiously.
"Five thousand US dollars." Du Changcheng said without blinking.
“Only five thousand?
"This belongs to Hong Zhiyou, and it's only worth this little money?" Hu Lingying said a little unhappily.
"okay.
“If you have money, you will be beautiful.
“Here they come, they’re coming out.
“The show is about to begin!
"Go, pour the wine."
Du Changcheng rubbed his hands excitedly.
Hu Lingying took a glass and poured some red wine, and the two of them stood leisurely by the window waiting for this good show.
"How's Old Sun doing?" Du Changcheng asked after taking a sip.
“When I went to check it out, the repair shop was closed.
“He is an old hand in this business, and now that he has taken the money, he has already disappeared somewhere.
"Do not worry."
Hu Lingying raised his glass and smiled at the red sunset in the distance.
"Zhiyou, Bashengyuan has recently hired a new group of chefs, and the halal dishes they cook are delicious. You and Jingzhong should come as guests often in the future." When they went downstairs, Jianfeng shook hands with Hong Zhiyou and said goodbye.
"it is good.
"Goodbye, Director." Hong Zhi nodded.
Wanan checked the vehicle first.
After making sure there were no safety hazards, Jianfeng got on the bus and slowly drove out of the station.
No outsiders were seen.
Chief Liu of the Dispatching Department followed and flattered, "Secretary-General, the car has been completely refurbished. Dean Chen also had a bulletproof Mercedes before.
“In order to protect this type of brand, the auto repair shop has special parts.
“You see, after the repair, it’s like a new car.
“Look at the paint, the front.”
"Well, good job, thank you for your hard work." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
"where.
"Secretary Hong, I heard that you set up a transportation team in Hualien. I am a professional in car management. If you need anyone, you can come to me." Section Chief Liu said flatteringly.
"You hold the rank of major in the Security Bureau, so your salary should be decent." Hong Zhiyou handed him a cigarette and stood on the steps watching Jianfeng's convoy leave, but he was not in a hurry to leave.
"Hi.
"This place is different from the mainland. The water is shallow and there are many turtles. It's impossible to make any money.
"Wanbei is a small place, but the housing and commodity prices have been driven up by rich people like Ms. Kong, and ordinary people can hardly survive.
“Let me put it this way, I’ve been here for so long and I haven’t even had a steak.
"Forget about housing. We can only live in a military village with frequent water and electricity outages.
"Now everyone in the bureau says that if they follow you, they can eat big chunks of meat and drink big gulps of wine. I don't care about my old face anymore. To be frank, I just want to ask you for a new meal."
Chief Liu knew that there were not many opportunities to connect with Hong Zhi, so he spoke quickly.
"Easy to say.
"Have you ever driven a Mercedes-Benz?" Hong Zhiyou asked with a smile.
"No, it's not something that someone like me can open." Section Chief Liu laughed.
“Here.
"Try it." Hong Zhiyou asked Sun Xing to take the key and handed it to Section Chief Liu.
"This, this is not good. With my identity..." Section Chief Liu did not dare to answer.
“Try it.
"When the factory is profitable in the future, I will give you a Mercedes-Benz as a gift, just to get a feel for it in advance." Hong Zhiyou said in a friendly manner.
"Got it."
Section Chief Liu took the key.
He opened the car door and stepped half way in.
"Hey!
“Fuck.
"old……"
Hu Lingying got anxious and was about to speak, but Du Changcheng covered his mouth with his hand and said, "You really want to die."
"Our bomb!"
Hu Lingying hadn't finished speaking yet.
boom!
With a loud bang.
The newly repaired Mercedes-Benz car instantly turned into a huge ball of fire.
Hong Zhiyou ran to the hall in advance.
Crash.
The huge impact of the bomb caused the glass on the first and second floors to shatter to the ground.
"There are assassins!"
……
Assassination.
Explosion case.
It happened at the gate of the Bureau of Secrets, targeting Hong Zhiyou.
The Allied Command held the Chairman directly accountable.
At one time, a special task force was set up under the personal supervision of Jianfeng, with Tang Zong, Zheng Jieming, Mao Renfeng and others as members. The chairman ordered that this major case must be solved within seven days.
The Security Bureau meeting room.
Jianfeng sat at the top and gave instructions with a gloomy face:
"Everyone, there have been a series of assassination attempts on important figures in North Bay.
“I seriously suspect that the Red Ticket Underground was behind this assassination.
"Director Mao, how do you do this job in the Secret Service?
"And you had no idea of it at all?"
It's the pot again... Mao Renfeng pretended to be seriously ill and coughed: "Everyone, I have been on vacation recently, and I am not very clear about many things."
"Director, everyone.
“I think this incident is probably not aimed at Secretary-General Hong.
“It’s Director Jianfeng.
“According to intelligence obtained by our police department.
"The director's car was parked next to Secretary-General Hong's car, and they were both bulletproof Mercedes-Benz cars of the same batch and model.
"Is it possible that the murderer planted the wrong bomb and his original target was the director?
"Please think about this question."
Tang Zong, the chairman's loyal lackey, knocked on the table and put forward a new point of view.
“I think it’s very likely.
“I even think that it might not be the work of Hongpiao, or there might be a Hongpiao spy with a higher level than Kuang Fuchun manipulating this matter.
“Think about it, everyone. The assassin first killed Secretary-General Hong and then Director Jianfeng.
"They are the leaders in the economic and political revival of the Taiwan Strait.
“If they were assassinated, the consequences would be disastrous.
"The key is, how did the assassin know the whereabouts of Director Hong... and Secretary General Hong?"
Zheng Jieming knew whose job he was serving, and when he saw Jianfeng's face frown, he quickly changed the way he addressed him.
"Obviously, someone in high places leaked and stole their whereabouts," he continued.
When Mao Renfeng heard this, he got goose bumps all over his body.
Why does it feel like the three heroes are fighting Lu Bu again!
Damn, this isn't another trap set for me.
"Well, what Director Tang and Director Zheng said makes sense. This matter needs to be investigated thoroughly." Mao Renfeng agreed reluctantly.
"Everyone, since this is a bombing case, why don't we listen to Team Leader Du's opinion."
Hong Zhi lit a cigarette and spoke slowly.
"I, I don't have any idea right now." Du Changcheng said nervously.
“Then let me tell you.
"As a person involved, I asked the US military technical team to check it. This is the US military's latest type of micro-bomb. It is extremely simple to install and has a variety of detonation methods." Hong Zhiyou first exaggerated the performance of the bomb to block Du Changcheng's technical assumptions.
He continued:
“My car was fine until I drove it back.
“Just when the director came to talk to me about something, the bomb went off.
“That means the other party was targeting Director Jianfeng. It was temporarily installed during our meeting. Unfortunately, because the two cars are of the same model, the other party got confused.
"Since outsiders cannot enter the Security Bureau, I would like to add one more point based on the opinions of Director Tang and Director Zheng:
"The murderer is hiding in the Secret Service!"
Hong Zhiyou made the final judgment.
"Qi Wu, it seems that there are many people in Wanbei who want me dead. Who do you think this person could be? Could it be one of us?" Jianfeng stared at Mao Renfeng aggressively.
Mao Renfeng's back was soaked, but on the surface he still smiled as usual:
"If this is possible, I can conduct a thorough investigation within the Security Bureau."
As he was talking, Sun Xing walked in and said, "Secretary-General, we found a bug in your phone."
Hong Zhiyou held up the bug and said:
"Everyone, maybe this is the truth behind the explosion that nearly happened to the director at Hongsheng Theater."
"Team Leader Du, you are the technical person in charge of this building.
"Can you explain why this is on my phone?"
Du Changcheng swallowed his saliva and said, "This was installed before. The Security Bureau has always had a rule of internal monitoring. When the data inspection team evacuated, your current office was briefly used as a dispatch room.
“To monitor the use of cars.
"I installed it inside specially on the orders of Director Mao.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Director Mao."
Du Changcheng was so depressed that he wanted to cry.
Things like eavesdropping devices are difficult to install and even more difficult to remove.
The mine was about to explode, so he went straight in.
In desperation, he had no choice but to drag Mao Renfeng into the water.
Mao Renfeng greeted Du Changcheng's ancestors in his heart, but his expression remained calm:
"Well, I did give the order, but it was Team Leader Du who carried it out. He never reported this to me before, and I haven't been in good health lately, so I didn't ask about it."
"it is good.
"Let's stop here for today, Director Mao. I suggest that all officers above the level of school officer in the Bureau of Security be interviewed and questioned individually by Secretary-General Hong.
“After all, he is a representative of the Allied Forces and a party involved.
"For officers below the rank of colonel, Director Zheng and Wanbei Prison will screen them one by one.
"Director Tang, Director Mao, what do you think?"
Jianfeng looked at everyone and asked.
"No problem." Several people expressed their opinions.
“Okay, do it.
"The chairman has ordered that the case be solved within three days. Time is very tight. Thank you all for your help."
Jianfeng stood up and announced the adjournment of the meeting.
"Yes." Everyone obeyed.
……
Hong Zhiyou walked out of the meeting room.
Jianfeng walked side by side and asked in a low voice: "Is there any evidence?"
"Don't worry." Hong Zhi nodded.
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Jianfeng nodded.
……
The next day.
Torture room number one.
Hu Lingying sat on a chair, smoking cigarette after cigarette.
Yu Zecheng, who was in charge of the interrogation, did not urge him.
"Old Hu, that day you asked me to play chess, and Du Changcheng installed a bug." Yu Zecheng poured him a cup of tea and said to himself.
"Do you know why the phone lines go down?
“Because I cut it.
"Madam Kong's chief bodyguard Jiang Hu has contacted Du Changcheng. We have been keeping an eye on you for a long time.
“Old Eight had already reached the shooting point.
“He didn’t miss, but was caught by our people.
"Including the nails you spread later, we all know about that."
Yu Zecheng continued.
Hu Lingying trembled all over, and his eyes became flustered and frightened.
Yu Zecheng smiled and continued:
“In fact, our car was parked outside the yard, giving you many opportunities to plant the bomb.
“But you have no guts, no courage.
"So, we can only crash the car and let Old Sun do the work."
"I, I don't understand what you are saying." Hu Lingying instantly fell into deep fear.
He never expected that this was actually a trap set by Hong Zhiyou.
"Not urgent.
"Bring the person in." Yu Zecheng is always so gentle.
soon.
Two men wearing black hoods were brought in.
Sun Xing grabbed one of them and pulled it off.
It’s Lao Ba.
"You, didn't you commit suicide?" Hu Lingying stood up in shock.
"Give the president of the newspaper two thousand dollars. It's not impossible that your grandmother will become the President of the United States tomorrow." Yu Zecheng said.
"This……"
Hu Lingying suddenly became a frostbitten eggplant. He realized that since the night Jiang Hu went to see Du Changcheng, they had become Hong Zhiyou's prey.
"I confess." He admitted it decisively.
“No need for you to recruit.
"Come with me."
Yu Zecheng stood up and waved his hand, and Sun Xing took the three people to the interrogation room next door.
Du Changcheng on this side was still stubborn and refused to talk about anything.
Hong Zhiyou put his legs on the interrogation table, smoking a cigar and drinking red wine, not in a hurry at all.
"Secretary General, the people are here." Yu Zecheng pushed open the door and walked in with his men.
Du Changcheng, who originally still held on to a glimmer of hope, was stunned in an instant.
"Lao Du, this is all a trap they set. We've fallen into it. Just admit defeat and save yourself a painful punishment." Hu Lingying said.
"Grass!
"Yes, I did it all." Du Changcheng said.
“I know you did it.
“The problem is that Jianfeng and I are not familiar with you, and we don’t have any deep hatred, so you won’t do that.
"Tell me, who ordered you to do that?
"If Qin Shuangcheng were to interrogate you, he wouldn't be so easy to talk to."
Hong Zhiyou put down his legs and pressed the recorder.
At the same time, the new product, the camera, was adjusted.
“Jiang Hu.
"Jiang Hu, the captain of the Kong family's guards!" Du Changcheng explained truthfully.
"Jiang Hu sent you to assassinate me because of Kong Lingkan. Anyone with a common sense can guess this.
"Listen carefully. What I am asking now is, who ordered you to assassinate Jianfeng?"
Hong Zhiyou knocked on the table and highlighted the key points for him.
"I, I didn't assassinate Jianfeng. No one ordered me to do so." Du Changcheng became even more panicked.
“Old Qin.
"The fact that he has invited the assassination attempt on me can be interrogated as a criminal and tortured."
Hong Zhiyou gave the order.
Qin Shuangcheng grinned, put on black rubber gloves, picked up the red-hot iron, and without any extra words, directly printed it on Du Changcheng's thigh.
Amid the smell of burning, Qin Shuangcheng picked up a bag of salt and sprinkled it on Du Changcheng's wound.
"what!"
Du Changcheng screamed in agony, his veins twisted in pain.
"Now it's the legs, later it will be the face and nose, think it through carefully." Hong Zhiyou said.
“I recruit, I recruit.
"Someone instructed me to assassinate Director Jianfeng." He howled like a pig being slaughtered.
"who!"
"Who is it?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
"Yes, it's Mrs. Kong." Du Changcheng was not smart, but not stupid either, and answered immediately.
"Why do you want to assassinate the director?" Hong Zhiyou asked slowly.
"She said Jianfeng blocked Kong Lingkan's way." Du Changcheng shouted.
"How much money did I give you in total?"
Hong Zhiyou asked again.
"It must be at least 100,000 US dollars," Du Changcheng said.
"Son of a bitch!"
Hu Lingying on the side became anxious.
Du Changcheng told him the money was 20,000, but after doing so much work, he only made 10,000 US dollars.
Hu Lingying even wanted to kill someone.
"it is good.
"Besides Madam, who else?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
"It's gone, really gone?" Du Changcheng said.
"Gone?
"Lao Qin, give him some tough information to help him recall the past." Hong Zhiyou gave the order.
"Got it."
Qin Shuangcheng picked up a carpenter's plane.
He walked behind Du Changcheng and hit him hard upwards. In an instant, a large piece of flesh and skin along with shirt fragments was scraped off, causing Du Changcheng to suffer excruciating pain.
"If you don't think it through, your back will be reduced to bones." Hong Zhiyou reminded.
“I, I remember.
"Director Mao instructed me to do this."
Du Changcheng shouted.
"alright.
"I'll leave Lao Yu to you."
Hong Zhiyou stood up and walked out.
This is the end.
His mission in Wandao was completely completed.
……
night.
Small courtyard.
Hong Zhiyou took out the bottle of wine given by the chairman and filled the three glasses with wine.
"That's it.
“The water in the Bay Island is too deep, and you are not ruthless enough. There is no future for you to stay here.
"Are you sure you don't want to leave?"
Wu Jingzhong looked at his beloved general and asked in a deep voice.
"Teacher, I have been thanked for your care over the years. Without you, Zecheng would have died at the hands of Li Ya and Lu Qiaoshan.
"Then it will become a memory in my heart.
"I can never repay you in this life. If there is an afterlife, I would still like to be your student."
Yu Zecheng picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
“You’re just stubborn.
“There is no future in the Bay Island, and there is no value in you staying here.
"Why bother?"
Wu Jingzhong sighed and shook his head, not accepting the glass of wine.
Next life.
I can have a son-in-law, but I really don’t want a student.
"Old Yu, it seems that I can't fulfill Senior Sister's wish.
“I let Lao Xie manage the business here.
“The war on the peninsula won’t last long. Once the coalition forces are defeated, my influence in the Taiwan Strait will be greatly weakened.
“When I leave, many things become unknown.
"Cherish it."
Hong Zhiyou raised his glass to him, feeling a little sad.
Jianfeng is becoming more and more cold-blooded.
Once MacArthur, his powerful backer, leaves the Asia-Pacific, the Taiwan Strait will be turbulent.
The properties left behind by Hong Zhiyou are the cornerstone of Yu Zecheng's survival.
But it’s hard to say how long it can last.
"Thank you." Yu Zecheng drank again.
"A tyrant, a scoundrel!
"I think you are even more stupid than Maguire."
Seeing Yu Zecheng so stubborn, Wu Jingzhong suddenly felt furious. He picked up the wine glass and threw it on the ground, showing the bottom of the glass to Yu Zecheng.
Then he threw the wine glass, left the table angrily, leaning on his walking stick, and went back to his house.
"The teacher is angry with me." Yu Zecheng lowered his head and said bitterly.
“The teacher is different from Dai Li.
“Human relations.
“Besides being worldly-wise, he’s also a real human being.
"I think at this moment, what he regrets most is not leaving you in the mainland."
Hong Zhiyou smiled.
"I don't regret it." Yu Zecheng said firmly.
"Teacher is wrong, you are actually the most cruel, you are the one with the body of diamond, money and beauty cannot defeat your will, sorrow and joy cannot break your heart.
"Fire cannot melt it, wind cannot hurt it.
"Over the years, I believe there is no one I cannot defeat, including Lu Qiaoshan, Li Ya, and Ma Kui.
"The only thing I can do is to deal with you."
Hong Zhiyou poured another glass and said with a rather sad tone.
“After you go back, find your senior sister.
"I guess I won't be able to see her again in this lifetime. She's stubborn. Please persuade her not to wait for me and find someone to marry."
Yu Zecheng drank one cup at a time, then finished the cup, smacking his lips.
"I am very sure of that.
"I told you before, you are a bad luck god.
“Whoever gets involved with you will be unlucky.
"There's no reason for my senior sister to give you a discount."
Hong Zhiyou also had a drink.
"Let's stop here!" Yu Zecheng stood up and said.
"it is good."
Hong Zhiyou sat there and drank by himself.
Yu Zecheng walked to the door, turned around to look at Hong Zhiyou, opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
He raised his head and pinched his brows, enduring the pungent smell of the wine, and quickly returned to the backyard bedroom, turned on the radio, and listened to the call that would almost never come again.
Waiting stupidly.
Like a statue, until late at night, until dawn.
……
early morning.
Hong Zhiyou simply packed up his luggage and helped Wu Jingzhong into the car.
Yu Zecheng stood on the balcony and made eye contact with Hong Zhiyou.
There were no parting words.
No gestures.
Hong Zhiyou got into the car quickly.
Yu Zecheng watched the car go away, and he couldn't help feeling lonely.
Immediately, he gently let out his thoughts of separation.
I went downstairs and mechanically ate breakfast.
Then, he polished his shoes, changed into a colonel's uniform, and drove to the Ministry of National Defense.
When I think of Deputy Minister Wu.
He felt infinite strength in his heart again, and his eyes became more determined.
……
Basheng Garden.
Wanan walked in quickly.
"Director, Hong Zhiyou left on a warship." He reported in a low voice.
"I understand." Jianfeng replied without any emotion.
“By the way, Du Changcheng and Hu Lingying have confessed.
"Team Leader Gu brought the materials here."
A trace of loneliness flashed in Wan'an's eyes, and he said again.
"Call Gu Zhengwen in." Jianfeng said.
Gu Zhengwen walked in and handed over the materials: "Secretary Hong personally interrogated Du Changcheng and he admitted that it was his wife who ordered the assassination of Hong Zhiyou, and it was Mao Renfeng who ordered the assassination of you."
"Tell Madam Kong what I said and let her deal with Jiang Hu secretly. This matter will be over and it will be considered as an explanation to Hong Zhi." Jianfeng seemed extremely impatient and uninterested in matters related to Hong Zhi.
"I understand." Gu Zhengwen said.
“Zhengwen, let Tang Zong’s police station take over the case and continue to dig deeper into Mao Renfeng’s affairs.
"Isn't he in poor health?
“Or die.
"Or get out."
Jianfeng tapped the document with his fingers and gave orders in a cold voice.
"Yes.
"Director, I have something else to report to you." Gu Zhengwen said.
"Well, go ahead." Jianfeng said.
"Recently, we were investigating military records, and a family member reported that a soldier's identity had been stolen by someone else.
"There were at least 400 cases. Most of these people were prisoners and landlords who did not dare to stay on the mainland. During the retreat, they relied on getting clothes or buying quotas.
"They pretended to be dead soldiers and evacuated to the island by boat or plane.
“I suspected that there might be red tickets hidden among these people, so I conducted a thorough investigation.
"Among them, one person took the initiative to confess something, which was very interesting."
Gu Zhengwen said.
"Oh, tell me about it." Jianfeng became interested.
“There was a man from northern Hebei named Wang Zhanjin.
"He said that he fled to Jinhai during the Red Ticket Land Reform and had seen Yu Zecheng and his wife on the street with his own eyes," said Gu Zhengwen.
"Is there any problem?" Jianfeng asked with raised eyebrows.
"He said he and Mrs. Yu were from the same hometown.
"He had found out that Mrs. Yu's name was Chen Cuiping, but Mrs. Yu's real name in the village was Chen Taohua. She had served as the chairman of the Party League Committee of Hongpiao Township and the captain of the Second Brigade of the County Guerrilla Team.
"She also has a younger sister named Chen Qiuping, who is a young cadre in the social security department of the Yancheng Border Region.
“They also said that Madam Yu was an excellent shooter.
“In a word, Yu Zecheng’s wife is as famous as can be.
“In this way, the matter you asked me to secretly investigate Yu Zecheng can basically be concluded.
"With our current system, we can just shoot him."
Gu Zhengwen said.
