Chapter 1901 Honest and Upright Hu Sishui
Dong Zhengguo and Cao Yu left the director's office and returned to the section chief's office.
"Brother Cao, please feel free to say whatever you want." Dong Zhengguo handed Cao Yu a cigarette, lit one for himself, took a deep drag, and let out a satisfied sigh.
“Brother Dong,” Cao Yu frowned, pondering as he said, “I did say that, but I really didn’t mean it that way.”
"Hmm." Dong Zhengguo nodded and smiled, "I've already explained to the director that I was inspired by what you said, that's all."
"Hey." Cao Yu sighed and shook his head helplessly. "To be honest, I still find your analysis and judgment, Brother Dong, somewhat unbelievable."
He lit a cigarette and slowly puffed on it, looking thoughtful with a furrowed brow. "Wan Haiyang is actually Xiao Mian's man. This is truly, truly shocking."
……
"No, if we go by my initial analysis, I later realized it was too alarming and highly unlikely. However, based on my later analysis..." Dong Zhengguo glanced at Cao Yu and said, "Brother Cao, what do you think? Isn't it more likely?"
“Logically speaking, we cannot rule out this possibility,” Cao Yu nodded and said.
“That’s it.” Dong Zhengguo smiled, flicked his cigarette ash, and said, “Brother Cao, you’re still too honest.”
Cao Yu looked at Dong Zhengguo, slightly taken aback, then suddenly understood and nodded slightly.
……
Li Cuiqun's Fortress Office.
"Brother Jing, what do you think of this matter?" He personally poured Jing Muyun a cup of tea and asked.
"At first glance, it sounds absolutely terrifying," Jing Muyun said, taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat. "However, upon closer examination, it does seem to make some sense."
He glanced at Li Cuiqun and said, "Since you've come to me for advice, it means you don't completely disbelieve this analysis."
“It’s really hard not to have doubts when the Japanese are so blatant in coming to headquarters to arrest people, with such a fearless attitude…” Li Cuiqun frowned slightly and said.
“According to Dong Zhengguo’s analysis,” Jing Muyun said, “Wan Haiyang was captured at the time, chose to surrender, and lured Chen Mingchu into a trap, which in turn helped us lure Wang Tiemu into a trap, and then single-handedly destroyed the Shanghai district. At that time, Wan Haiyang was indeed wholeheartedly turning to the light, so there was no problem with that. The real problem is what happened later?”
"Dong Zhengguo's analysis suggests that, despite Wan Haiyang's previous actions that nearly wiped out the entire Shanghai region, Dai Chunfeng still chose to secretly contact him and win him over again," Li Cuiqun said.
He looked at Jing Muyun and said, "Brother Jing, you are quite familiar with Dai Chunfeng and know him relatively well. Given your familiarity with this person, do you think it is possible that Dai Chunfeng would let Wan Haiyang, the culprit who caused the destruction of the Shanghai district, go free and instead choose to secretly contact and turn him against his own side?"
……
“Based on my understanding of Dai Chunfeng,” Jing Muyun said, “he hates betrayal the most, and he is even more terrified that Wan Haiyang caused the Shanghai district, including Wang Tiemu, to be almost wiped out. Dai Chunfeng must hate Wan Haiyang to the bone and must grind him to dust to relieve his hatred.”
"So, Brother Jing, you don't think Dai Chunfeng will put aside his hatred and secretly try to turn Wan Haiyang against his own side again?" Li Cuiqun couldn't help but ask.
"No, quite the opposite." Jing Muyun took a sip of tea and said, "It's true that Dai Chunfeng hates Wan Haiyang to the bone and wants to get rid of him as soon as possible. However, if Wan Haiyang is indeed capable of being turned, or to put it bluntly, if this person really has enough value to be used, based on my understanding of Dai Chunfeng, he will definitely be able to suppress his hatred and anger and choose to accept Wan Haiyang back."
He paused for a moment, lit a cigarette, took a slow drag, and exhaled smoke through his nose. He said slowly and deliberately, "This is precisely why Dai Chunfeng, this junior, is worthy of my attention. He is indeed a ruthless person who can accomplish great things, and can even be called a hero."
……
"So, you also agree with Dong Zhengguo's analysis?" Li Cuiqun asked, frowning slightly.
"No, no, no, I'm just answering your questions and concerns, Brother Li," Jing Muyun said with a smile. "As for your analysis and judgment, that's your business. I won't offer my direct opinion on it."
Li Cuiqun nodded slightly. He understood Jing Muyun's meaning and was not angry.
Jing Muyun, being a member of the Central Committee, naturally did not want to get too involved in espionage work.
Of course, if Jing Muyun showed signs of being overly eager for the authority of the Special Agent Headquarters, then Li Cuiqun would have to be more wary of Jing Muyun, or even fearful of him.
……
“However, if you were to ask me, if we don’t analyze this from the perspective of espionage, but look at it from other angles…” Jing Muyun glanced at Li Cuiqun and slowly said, “I do have some insights that you might find helpful.”
“Brother Jing, please speak,” Li Cuiqun said with great joy.
"Regarding Section Chief Dong's ability to find a unique approach and analyze this matter from such a peculiar angle, I have two points to make," Jing Muyun said.
“Firstly,” he flicked his cigarette ash and said, “Section Chief Dong did analyze this matter with an objective and selfless attitude. He is indeed very quick-witted and good at analyzing things from angles that ordinary people would not think of. In this respect, he can be considered a genius in espionage.”
"And the second one?" Li Cuiqun already had a vague idea of what Jing Muyun was going to say, but she still asked anyway.
"If Captain Wan gets into trouble, who will take over his position?" Jing Muyun didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Is it possible for Section Chief Dong to be promoted further?"
……
“Dong Zhengguo is capable and has considerable qualifications,” Li Cuiqun said.
Jing Muyun smiled and nodded, believing that Li Cuiqun understood what he was trying to say.
"Of course, even if Dong Zhengguo does have selfish motives and wants to climb the ladder, that doesn't prove anything. It's the other way around if he doesn't want to get promoted and make money." Jing Muyun thought for a moment and then said, "So, no matter what Dong Section Chief's considerations were, it's undeniable that his analysis has some merit."
Li Cuiqun nodded thoughtfully.
……
After seeing Jing Muyun off, he called Hu Sishui over.
"Sishui, do you think it's possible that Wan Haiyang has been turned by Dai Chunfeng?" he asked.
"Old Wan? Turned against him by Dai Chunfeng?" Hu Sishui exclaimed in surprise, "That can't be right."
"Don't answer so quickly. Think about it carefully and then answer me," Li Cuiqun said.
"Yes."
Hu Sishui thought for about ten seconds.
"To say that Lao Wan was turned by Dai Chunfeng, I still think it's unlikely. Putting aside everything else, Lao Wan directly sold out the entire Shanghai area. Dai Chunfeng wanted nothing more than to tear him apart and skin him alive," Hu Sishui said. "He did say that he knew Dai Chunfeng hated him to the bone, and he was actually very afraid that the Military Intelligence Bureau would assassinate him."
"What if Dai Chunfeng could let go of his hatred for Wan Haiyang and choose to send someone to contact him?" Li Cuiqun asked again.
"I see..." Hu Sishui was taken aback. "Whether Lao Wan will be turned is unknown, but I reckon Lao Wan will at least be willing to make contact with them, so that the Military Intelligence Bureau won't be in such a hurry to kill him."
Upon hearing what Hu Sishui said, Li Cuiqun nodded thoughtfully.
Hu Sishui and Wan Haiyang have a good relationship and often have contact in private.
"You haven't caused me any trouble lately, have you?" Li Cuiqun glanced at Hu Sishui and asked with a smile.
"No way!" Hu Sishui quickly patted his chest to assure everyone, "Director, if you tell Sishui to behave, Sishui will behave."
“Behave yourself these days,” Li Cuiqun said, glaring at Hu Sishui. “The Japanese arrested Wan Haiyang this time, although we can’t rule out the possibility that Wan Haiyang is indeed involved in something.”
He took a sip of tea and said, "However, given what happened before, we cannot rule out the possibility that the Japanese deliberately used this as an excuse to retaliate."
"Oh? Oh, oh, oh!" Hu Sishui nodded hurriedly. "Don't worry, Director, Sishui is now behaving himself and focusing on his work."
"That would be best." Li Cuiqun gave Hu Sishui a deep look and nodded.
……
According to what he learned from Zhang Lu, Hu Sishui had indeed been relatively well-behaved during this period. Although he was still arrogant and domineering, he had at least toned down his behavior compared to before, and he no longer got involved in things he shouldn't have.
……
Dajiangnan Hotel, No. 419.
Fu Liao went up and knocked on the door.
The code consists of three short and two long characters.
Upon hearing the code, Wu Zhiqian opened the door and saw that it was Fu Liao who had brought people back. He breathed a sigh of relief and let them in.
"Who is this?" Wu Zhiqian asked, glancing at a young man wearing glasses who had followed Fu Liao back.
“Song Guocai,” Fu Liao introduced, “the accountant in the General Affairs Department.”
He told Wu Zhiqian, "Yao Changgen was arrested. My idea is to arrange for Song Guocai to temporarily take over Yao Changgen's duties."
"Yes, yes," Wu Zhiqian said happily. "Accountant Yao has fallen into trouble, and things are in complete chaos now. We need to spend money everywhere."
"Commander Fu, Commander Wu," Song Guocai said quickly upon hearing this. "I can do the accounting work, but I can't conjure money out of thin air."
After hearing Song Guocai's words, Fu Liao and Wu Zhiqian both felt a great headache.
The funds for the Shanghai district were managed by Yao Changgen. Now that Yao Changgen has been arrested, even if the funds have been plundered by the enemy, they still have money in the bank. Without Yao Changgen's seal and the secret code for withdrawing money, they cannot withdraw the money.
Fu Liao arranged for one of his men to take Song Guocai to the next room.
……
"The only option now is to ask Boss Dai for help," Fu Liao said.
“That’s true, but we can only ask Boss Dai for money after we contact the district head and he gives the order,” Wu Zhiqian said, frowning slightly.
"The problem is that we can't get in touch with the district head at all right now," Fu Liao said angrily. He felt that Wu Zhiqian, the second assistant to the secretary, was really irresponsible, and that everything had to be decided by the district head.
“Then let’s keep looking,” Wu Zhiqian said. “What are Liu Changcun and the others doing? They haven’t been able to contact the district commander yet.”
"Is it possible that something happened to the district commander?" Fu Liao looked at Wu Zhiqian and finally couldn't help but ask.
“Brother Fu, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.” Wu Zhiqian was startled and said, “You can’t say that. Isn’t that cursing the Chief? You know the Chief is very sensitive about that.”
Fu Liao was almost amused by the situation. At this point, the possibility he raised was entirely valid, but Wu Zhiqian not only failed to analyze it seriously, but also brought up the fact that the district head was averse to such things.
“The problem is, something may have happened in the second office of the district government,” Fu Liao said. “I sent people to the second office and found someone lurking around the area suspiciously.”
……
"When did you send someone to the second office?" Wu Zhiqian was startled, his face darkening as he questioned, "Why couldn't you just make a phone call instead of risking going there..."
“There was no contact; we went to gather information, and we withdrew immediately upon discovering any problems,” Fu Liao said.
Before Wu Zhiqian could speak, he continued, "Assistant Wu, now is not the time to question why someone was sent to the second office..."
“Assistant Fu, you’ve arranged for someone to do this behind your back…” Wu Zhiqian was displeased.
"Brother Wu! Assistant Wu!" Fu Liao finally couldn't hold back any longer. He slammed his hand on the table. "At this critical moment of life and death, can you put aside all those trivial matters? The problem now is that something might have happened in the second office. Do you know what that means?"
“What does it mean? Tell me, I’d like to see what you can come up with,” Wu Zhiqian said angrily.
……
“The Second Office is the district government’s emergency backup location. Even Director Zhao doesn’t know its address; only the district head and I know it,” Fu Liao said. “Something’s happened in the Second Office. Do you now understand how serious this is?”
"You mean the district chief was arrested and he provided the enemy with the address of his second office?" Wu Zhiqian thought for a moment, then his expression changed drastically. He stood up abruptly, pointed at Fu Liao, and said, "Fu Liao, how dare you say such a thing? How dare you slander the district chief?"
"Wu Zhiqian! Use your brain and think this through!" Fu Liao was furious. "I'm here, I'm perfectly fine. Only the district chief knows about the Second Office. Something's happened in the Second Office, tell me, what happened?"
"Where is Yao Changgen? Does Accountant Yao know the address of the second office?" Wu Zhiqian asked immediately.
“Accountant Yao shouldn’t know the address of the second office,” Fu Liao said, then after a moment’s thought, his expression changed. “However, Accountant Yao has our lease agreement for the building…”
"That's it! It must be that coward Yao Changgen who betrayed the Second Office!" Wu Zhiqian said angrily.
“However, Yao Changgen has many copies of the lease agreement, and he doesn’t know which address is the second office,” Fu Liao analyzed.
“Perhaps the enemy doesn’t know that it’s the second office either; they’re just arresting people based on the address Yao Changgen provided…” Wu Zhiqian said after thinking for a moment, then his expression changed drastically.
……
Fu Liao's expression also changed drastically. He had just remembered that Yao Changgen had kept the lease contracts of various units, which meant that the enemy had most likely already taken control of the locations of the various units.
He was both shocked and frightened, regretting that he hadn't thought of it sooner. However, Yao Changgen had access to the housing rental contracts of various units, something he shouldn't have known in the first place. He had overheard Chen Gongshu mention it once, but the details were vague. If it weren't for his argument with Wu Zhiqian today, he would have almost forgotten about it.
"No, we must immediately arrange for people to secretly investigate the vicinity of each unit's location to see if anything has happened," Fu Liao said.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Their expressions changed.
"Who is it?" Fu Liao walked behind the door and asked in a low voice, holding a short gun in his hand, the safety already off.
"Third brother, it's me."
Hearing that it was Zhou Hanwen's voice, Fu Liao felt relieved and opened the door.
Then I saw Zhou Hanwen standing at the door, with someone else beside him.
"Old Qi?" Fu Liao was startled and quickly ushered the two into the house.
……
"Old Qi, how did you end up at Hanwen's place?" Fu Liao asked in surprise, scrutinizing Qi Deming.
His pistol lay beside him, the safety still on.
"Assistant Fu, let's talk about this later." Qi Deming said anxiously, "Is it true that the District Chief has been arrested and betrayed his post?"
Upon hearing this, both Fu Liao and Wu Zhiqian's expressions changed drastically.
