Chapter 1397 The Righteous Man
"Woo~~~"

A few whistle sounds broke the silence of the Coral Dam on the Jialing River. Dai Chunfeng stood by the river with his hands behind his back. On the execution ground not far away, Wang Hu and others had their hands tied behind their backs and a "death sign" stuck behind their necks.

The young spy kicked Wang Hu in the popliteal fossa, trying to make him kneel down, but Wang Hu just swayed slightly and still stood with his head held high.

This action angered the secret agents. One executioner raised the butt of his gun and smashed it hard on Wang Hu's knee. The other two executioners pressed down on his shoulders, and Wang Hu was pressed directly to the ground.

"Raise the gun!"

Gui Youguang, who was in charge of the execution, shouted loudly. Upon hearing the shout, more than a dozen young agents raised their guns and aimed at the target. The robbers a few meters away reacted quite calmly. No one was afraid, and no one begged for mercy.

Wang Hu looked around at his men who had followed him for many years, and suddenly laughed and cursed: "Fuck your mother, you're going to die this time."

His tone was very relaxed, and he was even in the mood to make a joke. The other robbers also shouted cruel words like "he would be a brave man again in eighteen years."

Only Zheng Daxin, who had pretended to be Wang Hu, looked apologetic, as if he was sorry for not being able to deceive the Military Control Commission.

Dai Chunfeng looked at this scene, his eyes full of indifference and ridicule. These gangsters were just being stubborn. He nodded to Gui Youguang and signaled to start the execution.

"Get ready~~"

Gui Youguang raised his right hand and pretended to swing it downwards. The young agents also put their fingers on the triggers and prepared to shoot, but suddenly there was a sound of a car braking outside the execution ground.

"The chairman has ordered that the execution be stopped!"

A fat figure jumped out of the car and ran over quickly like a rolling ball. It was Xu Enzeng who had not been seen for a long time, followed by a group of Central Bureau of Investigation agents.

"Don't worry about him, shoot immediately!"

Dai Chunfeng gave the order in a stern voice, obviously intending to silence them by force, but when the young spies heard the words "The Chairman has given the order", they subconsciously stopped their actions.

As the saying goes, success and failure are both due to Xiao He. The purpose set by Lao Dai for the Military Intelligence Bureau, "uphold the leader's will and understand the leader's painstaking efforts", certainly unified the thinking of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but the disadvantages were also obvious.

After years of mental cleansing, grassroots agents dare not disobey someone's orders, even if it is from Lao Dai.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Dai Chunfeng took out his service pistol and pointed it at Wang Hu, but the next moment, a hand tightly grasped the barrel, stopping his action.

"Teacher, you can't shoot. Once the gun goes off, you lose!"

Zuo Zhong reminded in a low voice, pressed down Lao Dai's pistol with his hand, his expression was extremely anxious, and he did not forget to persuade the cheap teacher to calm down.

"Xu Enzeng would like Wang Hu to die in our hands, so that Miss Hua's matter cannot be explained. Teacher, please believe me. I will clear your name no matter what."

Perhaps he was persuaded by Zuo Zhong, or perhaps he had thought clearly about the consequences of disobeying orders, Lao Dai put down his gun with a long sigh, and patted Zuo Zhong's shoulder with a wry smile.

At this time, Xu Enzeng came in front of the Military Control Commission. A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes as big as green beans. Why didn't the man named Dai shoot?

As Zuo Zhong expected, he could have arrived earlier, but in order to give Dai Chunfeng a chance to disobey orders, he waited until the last minute before showing up. He didn't expect that his plan was ruined by Zuo Zhong, that little bastard.

Dai Chunfeng noticed Xu Enzeng's little move, and he knew what the other party was planning. Old Dai glared at him fiercely in anger.

Xu Enzeng's face was as thick as a city wall. He pretended that he saw nothing, put his hands on his waist and said smugly: "Director Dai, a righteous man reported to the Central Bureau that you had an affair with Hua, a dissident.

I have been ordered by the Chairman to take over and try the case of Wang Hu and the Military Control Commission's leak of secrets. Please hand over all the prisoners to me. As for you,

Having said this, he deliberately paused, wanting to see how panicked his old rival would be, but Old Dai looked indifferent, which made Xu Enzeng a little disappointed.

After coughing lightly, Xu Enzeng revealed someone's decision on Dai Chunfeng: "Director Dai, the chairman ordered you to suspend your duties and reflect on yourself. The military affairs will be temporarily handed over to Deputy Director Zuo."

Dai Chunfeng said nothing and turned to walk towards his private car. Xu Enzeng looked at Zuo Chong with a smile and said congratulations.

Zuo Zhong didn't look kindly at this guy, as he was trying to sow discord between him and Lao Dai. Looking at the figure of the cheap teacher going away, Zuo Zhong, the man of justice, said something silently in his heart.

"Teacher, teacher, I don't want to see you go further down the wrong path. Please don't blame me."

The case of Wang Hu and the Military Control Commission leaking secrets was sent to the Central Control Commission's external radio station by a filial disciple who did not want to reveal his name, because only in this way could the execution be stopped and the underground party members who might be hiding among the robbers be avoided from being sacrificed.

Finding that Zuo Chong ignored him, Xu Enzeng left angrily with Wang Hu and others. Gui Youguang walked up to Zuo Chong and quietly made a gesture of pressing his palm down.

"Deputy Commander, do you want to wait until we are in the Central Bureau of Investigation Detention Center before silencing us?"

Zuo Zhong rolled his eyes at the bald man and started to curse, "Do you think Xu Enzeng is a fool? He even tried to silence us. We are worried that we can't find any fault with us. Get out of here right now."

After saying this, he sneered in his heart. It seemed that someone didn't trust Lao Dai 100%. After all, the Military Control Commission was now a little too powerful to be eliminated.

As of now, the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters and its subordinate units have 3.5 people, and the total number of field branches, such as provincial stations and city groups, has reached . This does not include the Loyalty Army directly controlled by the Military Intelligence Bureau, FIRC, Sino-US Special Technical Cooperation Institute, the Ministry of Finance's Anti-Smuggling Bureau, the Land and Water Transportation Inspection Office, the Security Command Inspection Office and other military and law enforcement departments.

Such a large intelligence agency is rare in the world. How can someone be at ease? Therefore, it is normal to give Lao Dai a warning at the right time.

However, despite the warnings, given the current war situation, it is impossible for someone to really punish Dai Chunfeng. At most, he can be punished with three glasses of wine.

While thinking, Zuo Zhong led the team back to No. 29 Luojia Bay. Soon what happened at the execution ground spread throughout the Military Control Commission, and the agents quickly regained their composure after the panic.

Although the bureau chief was suspended for reflection, Deputy Chief Zuo was still there. As long as nothing happened to the other party, the Military Control Commission would not have any major problems.

Zuo Zhong was also worried about the instability of military morale, so he made a special trip around various departments. After making sure that the situation had stabilized, he immediately went to Old Dai's official residence to show his loyalty.

At the gate of the official residence, he met Lao Dai's secretary Li Wei, who was walking out of the house with a worried look on his face. When he saw Zuo Chong, he didn't even say hello.

Looking at Secretary Li's back, Zuo Chong turned and walked into the door. The servant led him to the study to meet Old Dai.

Dai Chunfeng no longer had his usual high spirits. He slumped down on the sofa with a frown on his face. When he saw Zuo Chong coming, he didn't say anything. He just pointed to the sofa beside him and asked him to sit down.

"Teacher, Xu Enzeng is here with bad intentions. Why don't you go to the official residence? I think the leader will trust you." Zuo Zhong said as he sat down.

Old Dai looked up at the ceiling and said in a low voice: "I have been to the official residence. The leader told me to rest in peace and be careful at the end of my life. I have been walking on thin ice all my life. Do you think I can make it to the other side?"

Oh no, couldn't it be that Old Dai was so frustrated that he wanted to quit? He even came up with the phrase "walking on thin ice". This won't do. I still have to rely on the other party to take the blame. Oh, no, it means to protect me from the wind and rain.

Zuo Zhong quickly tried to comfort Dai Chunfeng: "Teacher, the leader was just confused by Xu Enzeng's slander. Once the leak is investigated, these rumors will naturally be refuted."

After expressing his loyalty, he reported that there was nothing unusual in his safe, and vaguely asked Lao Dai if anyone had access to the files of Guangdong Province's backup intelligence network.

Dai Chunfeng was about to shake his head, but then he seemed to have thought of something. He sat up straight and told Zuo Chong something.

While Zuo Chong was on a mission in North Africa, Lao Dai occasionally felt unwell, so he brought some information back to his official residence for review, including documents on Guangdong Province's backup intelligence network.

One day later, Lao Dai held a banquet in his official residence with many people attending. This was the only opportunity for the intelligence to be leaked.

"Teacher, who is attending the banquet?" Zuo Chong asked.

Dai Chunfeng recalled for a moment and reported the names of more than a dozen people, such as Zhang Qun, the head of Sichuan Province, and Gu Zhengding, director of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee, all of whom were important officials in the Kuomintang’s military and political system.

When Old Dai mentioned a man named Gao Yuheng, Zuo Zhong was startled. This man was a favorite of a certain couple and had a long list of titles.

Such as the deputy secretary-general of the New Life Movement, the battlefield party and government planning committee member of the Political Department of the Military Wei Society, the planning committee member of the Mobilization Committee, the consultant of the Relief Committee, the chief secretary of the temporary capital's public bond fundraising campaign, etc.

However, in the declassified documents of later generations, in addition to the above-mentioned position, the other party had another identity: a secret underground party member, directly under the command of the head of the Northwest Representative Office.

If Zuo Zhong guessed correctly, the microfilm should be the work of this person. The film then reached Guangdong Province through some means and was eventually discovered by agents from the Guangdong Provincial Station.

Realizing this, Zuo Zhong had only one thought in his mind: Gao Yuheng must not be exposed, and he had to find a way to protect her.

He pretended to think for a while, and suggested to Lao Dai: "Teacher, I think it is necessary to find out the details of these people, but the action must be covert."

Dai Chunfeng waved his hand and told Zuo Chong somewhat listlessly that since the case of the leak had been handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation for investigation, the Military Bureau of Investigation should not get involved to avoid giving others room for gossip.

Zuo Zhong secretly thought it was a pity, but he quickly agreed: "Yes, teacher, if the leak involves students, I should avoid suspicion."

After discussing the leak case, the master and disciple chatted for a while until Dai Chunfeng was ready to rest, and then Zuo Chong got up and said goodbye.

After leaving Old Dai's official residence, Zuo Chong returned to the Military Control Commission headquarters and called Song Minghao. He issued an order to stop comparing handwriting and also [thoughtfully] gave the reason: the leaker was among the guests attending the banquet at Old Dai's official residence, and his background was relatively complicated, so it would be better to let the Central Control Commission take the blame.

Song Minghao felt as if he had been pardoned. The workload of handwriting comparison was staggering and it was not an easy job, so he left happily.

The next morning, leaving Song Minghao enough time to leak the secret, Zuo Zhong took out his cell phone and sent a secret message to the contact "Lao K".

In the telegram, he did not point out Gao Yuheng's secret identity, but only informed Lao K that the National Government was about to investigate certain people.

This piece of news is enough to make the Northwest more vigilant. It would be inappropriate to make it too clear, after all, Gao Yuheng's existence is top secret.

After handling this matter, Zuo Zhong held his chin with his hand, thinking. Old Dai couldn't fall down for the time being, so he had to help the other party get out of the leak case.

Fortunately, before reporting the news to Xu Enzeng, he had already thought of the next plan. The key to this plan lies in Wang Hu's cooperation. Zuo Zhong picked up the phone and dialed a number.

On the other side, the Central Bureau of Investigation was also in full swing. After enjoying the hospitality of the Military Bureau of Investigation, the robbers had the opportunity to experience the torture techniques of the Central Bureau of Investigation.

In the secret detention center, Xu Enzeng grabbed Wang Hu, who had been tortured all night, and yelled, "Tell me! Was the film found in Miss Hua's luggage? Did the Military Control Commission ask you to conceal this?"
