Chapter 322 The Final Test
Noon.

Office of the Chief of the Special Operations Unit.

Ning Zhiyuan was on the phone: "If you're really bored, go to a department store, such as Daluoxin or Qiulin, and buy whatever you want..."

As the door opened, Gao Kejian walked in.

Ning Zhiyuan quickly said to the person on the phone: "I have something to do here, so I won't talk about it for now."

Gao Kejian put his hands behind his back, looked at the map of Binjiang City on the wall, and said calmly, "You are chatting so enthusiastically, is it Meizhen?"

Ning Zhiyuan said: "Yes."

Gao Kejian said: "Some romance can be considered elegant, but it should be kept within limits."

Ning Zhiyuan said: "Chief, I..."

Gao Kejian interrupted and said, "I am just suggesting. The decision is up to you. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Is there any news from Lianhua Town?"

Ning Zhiyuan said: "Not yet."

"Where's Xu Tao?"

Gao Kejian pulled out a chair and sat down.

Ning Zhiyuan said: "He is waiting for the mountain ghost. He will probably be back soon. Oh, by the way, Jiang Yuying's father, Mr. Jiang, died last night."

Gao Kejian asked: "How did he die?"

Ning Zhiyuan said: "Mr. Jiang likes to drink, and he was sad because his daughter had passed away. He drank until midnight the night before. He drank more than two kilograms of homemade sorghum wine, which was said to have a 60-degree alcohol content."

"Drank to death?"

"When I found out, I got hard."

"Who drank with him?"

"Himself, no one else."

Gao Kejian sighed, "Originally, developing Jiang Yuying as a spy was a good move to persuade Ma Kai to rebel and test Qi Yue. But she died at the hands of her own people. Now, her only relative is gone, and I don't even know who to give the resettlement fee to."

"Jiang Yuying is so unlucky. If she hadn't rushed out, Zhao Zhenhai wouldn't have been able to shoot... I heard that Jiang Yuying didn't even eat pork for Ma Kai. The fact that they were having an affair to this extent shows that they really have feelings for each other, haha."

Ning Zhiyuan gloated over Gao Kejian's misfortune. Seeing Gao Kejian's smile, he immediately added, "It's good if they all die. We can save money on resettlement."

In his opinion, improper relationships between men and women are a sin in themselves. This idea originated from his wife Su Ya's affair.

"What do you think of Qi Yue?"

Gao Kejian asked Ning Zhiyuan.

Ning Zhiyuan said: "I think Qi Yue is trustworthy. Chief, we have tested him more than once and found no suspicious points. Isn't that enough? The most important thing is that he saved the emperor."

Gao Kejian nodded: "Yes, it was because of this great achievement that Qi Yue was promoted out of turn and became the youngest police sergeant in Binjiang."

Ning Zhiyuan said: "Qi Yue's performance during this trip to Lianhua Town..."

Gao Kejian said: "He performed very well and impeccably. As long as he passes the final test, from now on, I will have no doubts about him."

Ning Zhiyuan asked tentatively: "What is the final test?"

"There will be answers soon."

Gao Kejian walked to the window, looked at Somekawa Kazuo who hurriedly got into the car downstairs, and asked Ning Zhiyuan: "Has everything been arranged on Mashi Street?"

Ning Zhiyuan said: "I'll have Lieutenant Liu take the other men and wait. As soon as Zheng Yumin shows up, set up a roadblock and separate the people behind him."

Gao Kejian said: "Well done."

Ning Zhiyuan said: "I am a little worried. If Zheng Yumin changes his mind and tells Liang Hao the truth, I am afraid it will be difficult to control the situation."

Gao Kejian said: "Zheng Yumin appears to be righteous on the surface, but in reality he is afraid of death. If you give him a way out, he will immediately show his true colors. On the other hand, Liu Shufen is soft on the outside but tough on the inside and is not easy to deal with."

Ning Zhiyuan said: "Then you are not worried, Liu Shufen told the truth?"

Gao Kejian smiled slightly: "Brine and tofu, one thing conquers another. Don't worry, with Zheng Yumin here, Liu Shufen won't say anything."

……

evening.

44 Central Street.

Qi Yue had just arrived home when he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw Qi Chaozong, who was smiling at him. He quickly let him in.

"It's a nice house."

Qi Chaozong visited everywhere.

Qi Yue brought some tea and snacks and said apologetically, "Chief Qi, I'm sorry for not hosting you well. I'm often not at home, and there's not even any fruit at home."

Qi Chaozong sat on the sofa, took a piece of sesame biscuit and put it in his mouth, saying while eating: "You are still being polite to me, this is good."

Qi Yue said: "You haven't eaten yet? There's a new restaurant nearby..."

Qi Chaozong motioned Qi Yue to sit down: "I have something else to do later, so I'll leave after a few words. Xiao Qi, you know I'm impatient, and sometimes I can't help but offend people." Qi Yue poured a cup of tea and placed it near Qi Chaozong: "You just said that we are not outsiders, so if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Qi Chaozong nodded: "That's true. Given our relationship, there's no need to beat around the bush... Xiao Qi, tell me the truth. Is the Secret Service investigating me recently?"

"Yes. I just heard about it too."

Qi Yue answered truthfully.

Qi Chaozong frowned: "What are you investigating me for?"

Qi Yue said: "Business matters."

Qi Chaozong took a sip of tea and said angrily, "This Gao Kejian is against me everywhere. How the hell have I offended him?"

Qi Yue said, "Chief Qi, you don't have to worry too much. I have helped you get over this matter for the time being. This afternoon, the people sent by the Special Agents Department to monitor you have been withdrawn. As for what will happen in the future... I can't guarantee it."

Qi Chaozong's eyes lit up: "It's rounded off? How did you round it off?"

Qi Yue smiled and said, "Bring out a few big names to help support us. Don't ask for details. If Chief Gao gets wind of this, I will be accused of betraying my own people. I can't afford to take the blame."

Although he said this, he was not worried at all. Given Gao Kejian's personality, he would not delve into it even if he knew about it. Instead, he would think it was human nature - not forgetting one's roots is a virtue.

"How can I thank you for this..."

Qi Chaozong felt relieved.

Qi Yue said sincerely: "You have helped me more to be where I am today. Speaking of gratitude, I should be thanking you."

Qi Chaozong was very pleased and thought that his decision to win over Qi Yue was extremely wise. With Qi Yue around, he had no need to worry about Gao Kejian making trouble behind the scenes.

Qi Yue took a sip of tea and asked casually, "I heard that your business is all done by water. At this time, you can only wait until spring, right?"

Qi Chaozong smiled slightly: "Xiao Qi, to be honest with you, my business is not only limited to Manchukuo, but also in Guanli."

Qi Yue asked: "Where is Guanli?"

Qi Chaozong said: "They are everywhere."

Qi Yue said: "Then you have to be careful. Cross-border trade is subject to strict customs inspections."

Qi Chaozong said proudly: "I am not bragging, I will go through all the customs in different places, and I don't have to pay any tariffs. Xiao Qi, when there is a chance, you can also participate. Don't worry, I will make sure you make money with me."

Qi Yue said: "I know you are thinking about me. Who can turn down the opportunity to make a lot of money? The problem is that the Special Service Department is an intelligence department after all, and it is not very convenient to do business..."

Qi Chaozong disagreed: "What's the inconvenience? Xiao Qi, remember, these days, fame is fake, gold and US dollars are real. To be honest, today you are a police sergeant, and when the national army comes back one day, you will become a prisoner."

Qi Yue hurriedly said, "It's not a good thing to say this. If people in the ideological sector hear it, it will be terrible... Besides, it's good enough for the Kuomintang to hold Sichuan and Chongqing. How can it fight back?"

Qi Chaozong said: "A few years ago, I also thought that the Kuomintang was doomed. Who would have thought that they would actually fight back and forth with the Japanese? Let's not talk about the distant past, just take Changsha this time..."

Tuk Tuk.

There was a knock on the door outside the house.

Qi Yue opened the door and saw that it was Du Juan who came in.

Qi Chaozong knew Du Juan and knew that she was Qi Yue's lover, so he said with a smile: "Miss Du is here, I won't bother you anymore."

As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his briefcase and placed it on the coffee table: "Congratulations on your new home. As your big brother, I have to express my gratitude in any way."

"Chief Qi, how can this be so embarrassing..."

"If you think it's too little, I'll take it back."

"…Thank you then."

"You're welcome."

Qi Yue saw Qi Chaozong out.

Du Juan said behind him, "Chief Qi, take care. I won't see you off."

"Stay, stay..."

Qi Chaozong left the yard and said to Qi Yue: "Think carefully about what I just said. Believe me, I guarantee you will make a lot of money!"

Qi Yue said, "Okay, I'll think about it and write to you later."

After seeing Qi Chaozong off, Qi Yue returned home, picked up the envelope on the coffee table and opened it. Inside were ten brand new hundred-dollar bills.

"What is he here for?"

Dujuan asked.

Qi Yue raised the envelope and said, "This guy is in the smuggling business. He is worried that Gao Kejian will investigate him, so he asked me to get information... What does he want from me?"

"The special commissioner wants to see you."

Du Juan looked serious.
