Chapter 2032 Dong Zhengguo, a despicable person, his heart is despicable!
Nanjing.
No. 31, General Lane.
This is Xiong Changhua's private residence, which he also arranged as the residence for his sixth concubine.
The sixth concubine was neither particularly beautiful nor charming enough, yet she was deeply loved by Xiong Changhua.
There was no other reason than that the sixth concubine had a younger brother named Feng Xiaoqing, who was Xiong Changhua's most trusted strategist.
"Hua Lin," Xiong Changhua looked at Feng Xiaoqing, pondering as he asked, "What do you think of this letter that Dong Zhengguo sent?"
Just today, someone from Shanghai came to visit. This person was Zhang Jiying, a trusted subordinate of Dong Zhengguo.
The person has been verified. A brother from Shanghai came to Nanjing and confirmed that it is indeed Zhang Jiying.
Xiong Changhua had assumed that Dong Zhengguo had sent his trusted subordinates to Nanjing for a secret visit to bring gifts and improve relations, but he did not expect that Zhang Jiying would come empty-handed.
To be precise, Zhang Jiying didn't bring a gift, but rather a letter.
In this letter, Dong Zhengguo secretly reported something to Xiong Changhua, namely:
There are people in the intelligence headquarters who are committing crimes; in fact, someone is opening doors for them, and the Communist Party and Chongqing are buying up prisoners on a large scale.
And this person, Dong Zhengguo even openly stated without any hesitation, was Wan Haiyang, the head of the interrogation department.
In this letter, Dong Zhengguo clearly stated that Wan Haiyang had arranged for his trusted subordinate Meng Dajun to be specifically in charge of the so-called redemption. He said that as long as Meng Dajun was captured and tortured, the truth would be revealed.
……
“Brother-in-law,” Feng Xiaoqing said thoughtfully, “Although I have never met this Dong Zhengguo, I have heard of him.”
Xiong Changhua nodded slightly, signaling his brother-in-law to continue.
“Dong Zhengguo was originally from the Party Affairs Investigation Department, and his nickname at the time was ‘First Mate.’ I’ve heard of him before,” Feng Xiaoqing said. “It can be said that quite a few people from the Party Affairs Investigation Department defected to Mr. Wang, and Dong Zhengguo was one of the most capable among them.”
"Of course, Dong Zhengguo's greatest reputation in the unit is because he has an extremely beautiful wife who is coveted and taken by Su Chende," Feng Xiaoqing said with a smile.
"Let's get down to business." Xiong Changhua shook his head with a smile.
“Dong Zhengguo is a capable and pragmatic person,” Feng Xiaoqing said. “If he is really willing to rely on you, brother-in-law, that would be a great thing.”
Xiong Changhua nodded.
Although he has Zhou Liang as his backer and is quite friendly with Okamoto Seitajin of the military police, and is about to take over the Special Agent Headquarters, his biggest weakness is that he is not a graduate of a special agent training program, and most of his subordinates are also from the military and lack professional agent skills.
In this situation, if Dong Zhengguo, a highly capable intelligence agent, were willing to join the cause, it would be of great significance to the Xiong faction's ability to establish itself in the intelligence headquarters.
……
"So, you think Dong Zhengguo intends to side with me?" Xiong Changhua asked with a look of delight.
“We can only hope so, but…” Feng Xiaoqing said thoughtfully, “We can’t confirm it further. There’s another possibility: Dong Zhengguo might be trying to use someone else to do his dirty work.”
"Using someone else to do the dirty work?" Xiong Changhua's face darkened. "Does Dong Zhengguo even deserve it?"
“Brother-in-law, Dong Zhengguo is not to be underestimated.” Feng Xiaoqing shook her head and said, “According to the intelligence we have, the Shanghai Special Higher Police have been getting closer to Dong Zhengguo recently, and it cannot be ruled out that the Shanghai Special Higher Police intend to support Dong Zhengguo.”
"Support Dong Zhengguo?" Xiong Changhua frowned. "Are the Shanghai Special Higher Police blind? Dong Zhengguo's qualifications and abilities are far from sufficient. Why would they take a liking to him?"
“Brother-in-law, you’re too close to the situation to see things clearly,” Feng Xiaoqing said. “It’s precisely because Dong Zhengguo’s strength is far inferior to yours and Wan Haiyang’s that the Special Higher Police chose him. Such a person is inseparable from the support of the Japanese and is easier to control.”
"Is the intelligence accurate that the Shanghai Special Higher Police are going to support Dong Zhengguo?" Xiong Changhua's expression turned serious. "This kind of thing must be clarified."
“There is no direct evidence to confirm this.” Feng Xiaoqing shook her head. “However, it is a fact that my grandson, Shen Tai, from the Shanghai Special Higher Police recently met privately with Dong Zhengguo.”
“Then he’s a suspect,” Xiong Changhua said after a moment of contemplation.
He looked at Feng Xiaoqing and said, "So, Dong Zhengguo deliberately brought Wan Haiyang's dirt on me, wanting to watch me and Wan Haiyang fight, while he secretly watched the show and planned to reap the benefits?"
……
“Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn’t,” Feng Xiaoqing pondered, then said, “However, one thing is certain.”
"What is it?" Xiong Changhua asked Feng Xiaoqing.
“If you, brother-in-law, receive this letter and then use it to attack Wan Haiyang, you will be making a grave mistake,” Feng Xiaoqing said solemnly.
"You mean..." Xiong Changhua thought for a moment and understood his brother-in-law's meaning. "Your concerns are correct. Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents."
"It's not just about blocking their path to wealth," Feng Xiaoqing said seriously. "What is the purpose of the Special Agent Headquarters? What is its significance? If the Nationalist government and the Japanese knew that the Communist Party members and Chongqing elements arrested by the Special Agent Headquarters could be secretly redeemed, what would the Nationalist government think? What would the Japanese think? What would become of the Special Agent Headquarters?"
Xiong Changhua pondered Feng Xiaoqing's words, nodding frequently, his expression growing increasingly serious.
……
“Brother-in-law,” Feng Xiaoqing said seriously, “Dong Zhengguo is a complete scoundrel; he’s digging up the very foundation of the Special Agent Headquarters!”
“You’re right,” Xiong Changhua said with a grim expression. “Dong Zhengguo is treacherous; he’s truly despicable!”
He looked at Feng Xiaoqing, "Hua Lin, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
“The most crucial thing now is that Dong Zhengguo sent someone to deliver a letter. If we do nothing, there’s no guarantee that Dong Zhengguo won’t expose this to others.” Feng Xiaoqing pondered and said, “For example, if Dong Zhengguo goes to meet with Mr. Wang, this person can not only accuse Wan Haiyang, but also drag us into it, saying that we knew about it but did not report it and had ulterior motives.”
“That makes sense.” Xiong Changhua nodded. “This person has ulterior motives and we must be wary of him.”
"Then in your opinion..." Xiong Changhua pondered for a moment before asking.
“Brother-in-law, to be honest, we are evenly matched with Wan Haiyang in terms of strength and backing. We are now evenly matched, and neither of us can suppress the other,” Feng Xiaoqing said.
……
“Go on,” Xiong Changhua said.
“If that’s the case, if we continue fighting with Wan Haiyang’s side, we’ll only end up bloodied and battered, and it might just benefit a villain like Dong Zhengguo,” Feng Xiaoqing said. “Such a villain is despicable!”
"You mean, shake hands and make peace with that scoundrel Wan Haiyang?" Xiong Changhua frowned and said.
In recent days, the two sides have been vying for power and profit, resorting to underhanded tactics against each other, and have already forged a deep-seated enmity.
“Let’s call a temporary truce,” Feng Xiaoqing said. “We can agree on spheres of influence and then have a short ceasefire. This will give us time to stabilize our existing territories. Once we’ve completed the integration, it won’t be too late to settle things with Wan Haiyang’s side.”
“Okay.” Xiong Changhua thought for a moment and nodded. “Call Wan Haiyang and invite him to tea.”
……
“Brother-in-law, what I mean is, why don’t you secretly go to Shanghai and meet with Wan Haiyang in person?” Feng Xiaoqing said. “This way, we can lull Dong Zhengguo into a false sense of security and make him think that you are secretly investigating Wan Haiyang.”
"Moreover, strictly speaking, we're not very familiar with Jessfield Road. After all, Jessfield Road is the foundation, and if we want to ultimately control the Special Agent Headquarters, Shanghai is the top priority," Feng Xiaoqing said.
He got up to refill Xiong Changhua's teacup and continued, "Most importantly, when Dong Zhengguo was trying to cause trouble and ruin everyone's plans, it was you, brother-in-law, who saw through everything and acted decisively to protect everyone. We should let more people know about this so that more people will appreciate our kindness."
"Furthermore, brother-in-law, you personally went to Shanghai to meet Wan Haiyang with Dong Zhengguo's letter. This is a matter of great importance," Feng Xiaoqing said. "No matter what happens to Wan Haiyang in the future, he will owe you a huge favor now."
……
“That makes sense.” Xiong Changhua nodded, smiling as he looked at his brother-in-law. “My acquisition of Hualin is like Emperor Gaozu acquiring Zhang Liang, or Emperor Zhaolie acquiring Zhuge Liang.”
Feng Xiaoqing's eyelids twitched. Whether it was Emperor Gaozu or Emperor Zhaolie, they were both the ones who eventually ascended the throne. If her brother-in-law's analogy got out, aside from anything else, Minister Zhou would be very unhappy.
“Brother-in-law,” Feng Xiaoqing said, “there’s one more thing.”
"What is it?" Xiong Changhua asked.
“If Wan Haiyang can do this business, why can’t we?” Feng Xiaoqing said in a low voice.
Xiong Changhua's eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "Shanghai is not our territory, so it's not easy to do there for now. You can handle things in Nanjing."
He sighed, "During Li Cuiqun's time, there was also Su Chende, who preyed on the people and arrested innocent people as thieves. This was wrong. You should try to contact the relevant authorities and correct the situation in time."
"Understood." Feng Xiaoqing nodded, then asked, "What is the price?"
……
"What do you think?" Xiong Changhua asked.
“Dong Zhengguo’s letter said that Wan Haiyang’s Red Party membership was worth about five or six hundred silver dollars, while the Chongqing members were worth about one thousand to one thousand two hundred silver dollars,” Feng Xiaoqing pondered.
He thought for a moment and said to Xiong Changhua, "I think it can't be lower than Shanghai's, can it?"
"Let's follow the market prices in Shanghai," Xiong Changhua said after thinking for a moment. "Prices can't be allowed to fluctuate."
"I understand." Feng Xiaoqing nodded, deeply agreeing.
……
Shanghai.
Zhang Jiying rushed back to Shanghai from Nanjing without stopping and immediately reported to Dong Zhengguo.
"What did Director Xiong say?" Dong Zhengguo asked immediately.
“Director Xiong was furious after reading the letter,” Zhang Jiying said. “He said he was aware of the matter and asked the section chief to remain calm and not to alert the enemy.”
"Excellent." Dong Zhengguo was overjoyed. He glanced at Zhang Jiying, who looked exhausted, and said, "You've been running around so much, it must be tiring. Go and rest."
"Yes."
After Zhang Jiying left, Dong Zhengguo could not hide his excitement. He simply drove away from home and went to Cao Yu's house.
"Brother Cao, your idea is still the best," Dong Zhengguo said happily. "Xiong Changhua is indeed very satisfied with this gift. Perhaps this Director Xiong is already planning to make a move."
“That’s natural.” Cao Yu nodded. “When two tigers fight, and a weakness is handed to them, it would be strange if Director Xiong didn’t seize the opportunity to stab Director Wan in the back.”
"Is there anything else I should do? What do you think?" Dong Zhengguo asked Cao Yu.
His face was grim as he said, “The thought that Wan Haiyang disregarded the law and released more Red Party members and Chongqing elements with every day of delay makes me even angrier.”
……
"Absolutely not." Cao Yu's expression turned serious, and he quickly said, "Since Director Xiong has told you beforehand to remain calm, it means he has arrangements and plans on his side. If you make any moves, you might alert him and ruin the important matters in Nanjing."
"Very well." Dong Zhengguo pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Let Wan Haiyang enjoy himself for a few more days."
……
Ma Sinan Road.
Wan Mansion.
Wan Haiyang put down the phone, a smile playing on his lips.
"What's wrong?" Shi Yaqin asked with a smile, glancing at her husband while cracking sunflower seeds. "Did someone send you a gift again?"
“You were absolutely right,” Wan Haiyang said with a smile. “An old friend invited me to try some seafood.”
"Seafood?" Shi Yaqin frowned. "Who wants to eat that stuff?"
"You really think it's seafood?" Wan Haiyang glared at his wife. "Stupid."
Shi Yaqin's expression changed, and she was about to lose her temper.
Just then, the butler came in to report, "Master, a Mr. Ye is at the door, saying he has come to visit on behalf of a Mr. Zhang."
"Alone?" Wan Haiyang asked.
"Two cars have arrived," the butler said. "That Mr. Ye brought quite a few bodyguards with him."
"Such a grand attitude?" Wan Haiyang frowned, feeling a mix of doubt and wariness.
Even his old friend surnamed Zhang might not have such a grand style, so who exactly is this Mr. Ye?
"Please come in," Wan Haiyang said after a moment's thought. "Please have Mr. Ye come alone, and have his entourage escort him to the reception room."
"clear."
"Take good care of them," Wan Haiyang instructed.
The housekeeper nodded hurriedly, knowing that Wan Haiyang meant to keep an eye on things.
……
Wan Haiyang watched as Mr. Ye entered the living room, led by the butler.
He couldn't help but frown.
The man was wearing a top hat, sunglasses, and even a face mask.
Wearing a trench coat.
White leather shoes, spotless.
However, the more he stared at the man's face, the more familiar he felt.
"Mr. Ye?" Wan Haiyang sat on the sofa without getting up and asked calmly.
"It is indeed I, Mr. Ye," Mr. Ye said politely, clasping his hands in a fist and palm salute.
"I wonder what the relationship is between Mr. Ye and my old friend?" Wan Haiyang asked, crossing his legs and glancing at Mr. Ye.
"They're just casual acquaintances," Mr. Ye said.
"Hmm?" Wan Haiyang's expression darkened.
"I only got into Director Wan's office because of Zhang Xiaqi's name," Mr. Ye said.
"Who exactly are you?" Wan Haiyang asked coldly, his face turning icy.
……
With a cold snort, more than a dozen of his men rushed into the living room, pistols in hand.
"Is this how you entertain guests, Brother Wan?" Mr. Ye took off his sunglasses and mask, smiled at Wan Haiyang, and said.
