Chapter 599: It feels like we are on the same path
Xiang Chu fed Qingfeng a love pill and made him drink love wine.
He then took out silver needles and pierced his important acupuncture points.
After making sure that the traitor had no ability to resist, he picked up his belongings and went downstairs.
Ning Caiwei moved very quickly and had already driven the car to the back door.
The two of them were busy getting all the important items and Qingfeng into the car.
After Xiang Chu cleaned up all the traces, he drove away and headed out of the city.
Soon, the sounds of car horns and people shouting were heard from the direction of Bashu Teahouse.
Ning Caiwei said angrily, "You are still not in a hurry. If you were a step later, we might have been caught by our former colleagues in the Military Intelligence Department."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Based on their speed and the road to the mountain city, it would be fine for us to stay for another ten minutes."
"People know you're great."
Ning Caiwei smiled and said thoughtfully, "Dear! This time we can't sink Qingfeng into the river like we did to Long Qiang, otherwise Dainong and the others will be able to salvage it."
Xiang Chu sneered, "Don't worry! Let's pretend to go to Xichang Highway to have a look, and by the way, kill Qingfeng and throw him down the mountain stream that no one can climb down. I wonder how Dainong will find him."
Ning Caiwei nodded and said, "Yes! But given Dai Nong's suspicious personality, he will definitely recall what happened in front of the Central Party Department and wonder if the news has been leaked."
Xiang Chu said without hesitation: "That's for sure, but he values his life and would never dare to suspect us."
Ning Caiwei smiled bitterly and said, "That's right! Those who tried to stab you all died in the end. Dai Nong knows this best."
Xiang Chu said thoughtfully: "But Dainong's power has expanded now, and he has taken control of the traffic police force. He is printing and distributing fake military notes. Things are different now."
Ning Caiwei smiled and said, "From ancient times to now, how many spies have had a good ending? It's quite good for you to break away and become the commander of the 34th Division."
Xiang Chu asked back: "My dear! Are we not spies now? Who arranged Qingfeng as your contact person? Even Liu Zhengxiong can't catch up."
Ning Caiwei remained silent. If it weren't for her wit today, she would have lost everything.
Duyou Street, Qingfeng Teahouse.
All the guests had been driven away and replaced by plainclothes officers from the Military Control Commission.
In the "Jiangnan Misty Rain" box upstairs, Dainong and Guo Tao were sitting opposite each other.
The two of them brewed a pot of tea, drank it happily and killed time.
Dai Nong glanced at his watch and said with a smile, "In ten minutes, your former comrade will be here. I really want to know who the 'Phoenix' is."
Guo Tao smiled and said, "To be honest, I saw the 'Phoenix' in Shanghai more than ten years ago. But he was still a kid at that time, busying around behind his master, the Red Party's 'Smiling Tiger'. It was a pity that I didn't get a closer look at his appearance."
Dai Nong shook his head and said, "With your status at that time, how could you look down on an unknown soldier?"
Guo Tao sighed and said, "That's true! Now things have changed. The little 'Phoenix' has been reborn and become a famous figure, but I have fallen. Alas!"
At this time, Zheng Jie ran in and reported loudly: "Director! When we arrived at the Bashu Teahouse, the owner of the teahouse had already escaped."
Dai Nong stood up suddenly and said in surprise: "Escaped, escaped?!"
Zheng Jie nodded and said, "Indeed, they escaped. All the valuables, radios, code books and other important items were taken away. There is nothing useful left."
Dai Nong said with great regret: "What a pity! If today is not the first day of the Lunar New Year, we can act in advance and control the Bashu Teahouse area where Guo Tao found Qingfeng hiding."
Zheng Jie glanced at Guo Tao and said unhappily:
"Guo Tao! Couldn't you have discovered it earlier?"
Guo Tao glanced at him coldly, turned his head away arrogantly without saying a word.
Dai Nong took out a photo and handed it to Zheng Jie, saying, "Assistant Zheng! Take your men to set up checkpoints throughout the city and search for Qing Feng. He must not have escaped from Chongqing yet."
"Yes!"
Zheng Jie hurriedly accepted the order and turned to leave the room.
Guo Tao said thoughtfully: "Director! Could it be that our plan to trap Qingfeng was leaked?"
Dainong doubted everything and nodded, "Well! Let's think about it, at which stage will the secret be leaked?"
"Central Party Headquarters!"
Guo Tao said without hesitation.
Dai Nong looked at him in silence, wanting to hear him continue.
Guo Tao sneered, "After the assassin injured my ear, I fell to the ground and my briefcase left me. The other three people at the scene must have taken the opportunity to read the information inside."
Dai Nong thought for a moment and said, "I was shooting at the assassin at the window and didn't pay attention to what was happening behind me. Which of the three do you think it was?"
Guo Tao shook his head and said, "I was lying on the ground with my head in my hands. I was so nervous that I didn't even dare to raise my head. I didn't pay attention to the three of them. But when I looked up, I found that only Secretary Ning was at the scene, climbing up the stairs to the third floor."
Dai Nong said angrily, "You can suspect Long Sheng and his followers at will, but if you suspect Lord Chu's wife, she will soon be dead. Do you know that as long as Lord Chu returns to Chongqing, some important people will disappear."
Guo Tao was surprised and asked, "Is Lord Chu so powerful?"
Dai Nong stood up, walked to the window and looked out, and said with a wry smile: "Yes! He used to be a trump card in my hand, because he was the son-in-law of the Song, Kong, Wang and Ning families. Now he has become the Duke of Chu, who is higher than me. But if Hanoi lets him take action, Old Wang will definitely die."
Guo Tao laughed and said, "How could a son-in-law kill his father-in-law?"
"He's a national hero! He'll take action if you tell him a truth."
Dai Nong smiled, paused, and boasted,
"After all, Lord Chu is still my sworn brother."
Guo Tao shouted, "You should have told me earlier! I should have dispelled my doubts earlier."
At this time, Dainong's driver and bodyguard Jia Jin rushed in, glanced at Guo Tao and seemed to want to say something but stopped talking.
Guo Tao said tactfully, "Director! It's past 12 o'clock. Qingfeng won't come. I should go back to my residence to spend the New Year with my wife."
Dai Nong said with a smile: "Go! You've worked hard. I'll reward you with ten small yellow croakers later."
"Thank you, Chief!"
Guo Tao turned and left the room.
Jia Jin closed the door and said with a wry smile, "Boss! News came from the north that Ma Hansan, who was responsible for keeping the Qianlong Longquan sword for you, was arrested and surrendered to the Japanese spy agency. He presented your Longquan sword to the Japanese spy Tanaka."
Dainong said with regret: "If I had known earlier, I should not have given the Longquan sword to Tomahan San for safekeeping. This sword is a gift to you, sir. Alas!"
Jia Jin whispered, "Madam and Director Liu both called and asked you to go home for dinner."
Dai Nong thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Director Liu first, as we will stay there for a shorter period of time."
"Yes!"
Jia Jin bowed and accepted the order.
Highway checkpoint in the west of Chongqing.
Xiang Chu and Ning Caiwei drove back here and saw a team of plainclothes officers setting up checkpoints.
Ning Caiwei was surprised and said, "Brother Chu! I didn't expect the Military Control Commission to deploy troops so quickly."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "What are the people from the Military Control Commission afraid of? They are just a bunch of former colleagues."
Ning Caiwei nodded and said, "Yes! We also bought a lot of mountain products, which is just a legitimate reason to leave the city."
Xiang Chu saw who was setting up the checkpoint and said with a wry smile, "It feels like we are meeting an enemy on a narrow road. I actually ran into Zheng Jie again."
