Chapter 816 The Fox's Scheme

Mao Renfeng's words were full of disdain for Zheng Yaoxian.

The reason is simple: Zheng Yaoxian relied on him, and with his support, he eventually grew powerful through the reorganization of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

If we're talking about the reorganization of the Military Intelligence Bureau, besides Tang Zong and Zheng Yaoquan, Zheng Yaoxian was the biggest beneficiary.

Mao Renfeng naturally had to express contempt for Zheng Yaoxian in her words in order to appease his anger.

However, his level of vigilance towards Zheng Yaoxian was second only to Zhang Anping—how could Mao Renfeng dare to truly despise someone who could parasitize him, Mao Renfeng, and eventually make a magnificent transformation into a powerful force within the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics?

Therefore, like Tang Zong, Mao Renfeng chose to use the Chongqing Security Bureau to provide information to Zheng Yaoxian in order to avoid Zheng Yaoxian discovering that it was his doing.

The old fox is always so tacit.

Within the same system, such operations are not complicated, so Zheng Yaoxian received intelligence from Chongqing two hours later.

Before this intelligence arrived, Minglou had already secretly communicated with Zheng Yaoxian.

After the two met in secret, Minglou said with a solemn expression, "Wang Tianfeng's intelligence department has arrested one of our comrades—in principle, the intelligence department should not suddenly turn against our comrades."

If it were just a coincidence that they arrested one underground party member, it could be a coincidence. But the intelligence department's surprise arrest failed—this must be related to Zhang Anping. However, normally, the intelligence department shouldn't suddenly target the underground party.

Because of Zhang Anping's existence.

Zheng Yaoxian frowned: "You mean, the situation is not under Anping's control?"

"That's probably it."

Having already learned about the information Minglou possessed through Mingcheng, Zheng Yaoxian countered, "Are you sure this information you have didn't come from Anping?"

Minglou said definitively, "It wasn't him. If it were him, both of us would have received a warning beforehand."

Zheng Yaoxian thought about it again and realized that was indeed the case.

"Are you roasting me like this?!"

Zheng Yaoxian said dejectedly, "I can't really betray Anping, can I?"

Mingcheng had already told Zheng Yaoxian about Mao Renfeng's plans.

“Anping should be able to hold out—the Taotie are hesitant to attack him, which presents an opportunity for you. You’ve always had a weakness, and this is the perfect chance for you to get in touch with those Taotie.”

Zheng Yaoxian was speechless at Minglou's choice of words; what did he mean by "flirting"?

"This is indeed an opportunity. Anping has been trying to distance herself from me. If we do this, even Xu Baichuan probably won't believe that Anping and I can still be close. But, won't doing this really affect Anping? Should we try to contact Anping?"

The three of them cannot currently be contacted through normal channels, but only through the organization's channels. Zhang Anping naturally has the relevant channels, but he has not contacted the two of them yet, and the two of them dare not contact Zhang Anping easily.

Minglou shook his head: "There's no time. You should receive the message soon, and once you do, you must take action."

The word "must" implies that there is no room for hesitation.

Because Mao Renfeng's calculations were crystal clear:

Zheng Yaoxian is currently in the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and he does indeed have his own faction, but he lacks access to higher-ups.

Zhang Anping had direct access to the highest levels of government; the nickname "Little Guy" was unique to him. Zheng Yaoquan, needless to say, was a veteran from the Ten-Man Group era, with connections to higher-ups all over the world. Mao Renfeng was no less influential, having consistently managed the internal affairs of the Military Intelligence Bureau and also possessing channels to higher-ups.

Zheng Yaoxian, on the other hand, rose to power by taking advantage of the situation. His ability to form his own faction was entirely due to chance, and he had always lacked support from the upper echelons.

Even if it means incurring Zhang Anping's wrath, I will not hesitate to take action now that I have this opportunity.

If Zheng Yaoxian dares to dawdle, his public image will completely collapse.

Mao Renfeng would definitely think of another possibility: Could this guy be someone Zhang Anping deliberately promoted?
Zheng Yaoxian took a deep breath: "I understand—I will do as Mao Renfeng thinks, and I hope it won't cause too much trouble for Anping."

"Don't worry, Anping has weathered many storms. I don't think this little thing will be a problem for him."

……

chongqing.

A peaceful day has passed.

Wu Liwei did not send the person back overnight.

There are two possibilities:
Either the place is too far away for Wu Liwei to make a round trip in one day;

Either, as he hoped, Wu Liwei had a falling out with the mastermind behind the scenes.

At this moment, Zhang Anping sat quietly in his office, reviewing intelligence reports. He appeared normal, but in reality, he was unusually uneasy.

All comrades at the grassroots level in the Chongqing area have been mobilized. If gunfire is heard in any village, the news will be received before the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics and the Police Headquarters. In this way, Zhang Anping can determine the location of Wu Liwei and his men and then crush them with lightning speed.

However, no news has come out yet.

Footsteps approached, followed by a knock on the door. Zhang Anping called out "Come in," and Zheng Yi and Lin Nansheng entered together.

"Is something wrong?"

Zheng Yi was the first to report:
"The Telegraph Office sent two telegrams privately and withheld one from Nanjing—the man has been taken into custody."

"After investigation, it was found that one of the two telegrams was sent to Mao Renfeng and the other to Zheng Yaoxian—the telegram from Nanjing was sent by Mao Renfeng."

A few months ago, this would never have happened.

The fact that this has happened now undoubtedly proves one thing:

Many of the rules and regulations within the Bureau of Secrecy have become mere formalities.

Zhang Anping was not annoyed; instead, he asked with great interest:
"What about the content?"

"The two documents sent out were almost identical. The document reported on what had happened in the Chongqing Bureau. The document sent by Mao Renfeng instructed the people in the Telecommunications Department to pass the message on to Zheng Yaoxian."

Zhang Anping laughed; he naturally understood the meaning behind it:

Mao Renfeng didn't want to go against him, but she was afraid of being implicated, so she simply stayed out of it and dragged Zheng Yaoxian into it.

“Send a telegram to Nanjing and tell them that we have made things difficult for them.”

Zheng Yi paused for a moment before saying, somewhat taken aback, "Yes."

"What about you?"

"News has come from Yunwu Mountain..."

Lin Nansheng started speaking, and although Zhang Anping did not react, Zheng Yi still turned and left without hesitation.

After the door closed, Lin Nansheng continued:
"Tang Zong persuaded the people in the communications department to pass on news from Chongqing to Mao Renfeng."

As mentioned before, because the Police Headquarters had "taken in" tens of thousands of Kuomintang agents, the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (BIS) became somewhat transparent to the Police Headquarters. Conversely, because it had taken in tens of thousands of Kuomintang agents, the Police Headquarters was also transparent to the BIS.

Lin Nansheng said with a strange expression:

"Teacher, all these actions seem to be out of fear of you. Now it depends on whether Zheng Yaoxian is willing to be your enemy or your friend."

Lin Nansheng naturally didn't know Lao Zheng's identity.

Zhang Anping shook his head: "He won't be friends with me."

He is a comrade to you and me.

"It seems Zheng Yaoxian will use this news to curry favor with Taotie." Lin Nansheng frowned. "In that case, we're probably in a passive position."

Zhang Anping shook his head: "This isn't the most urgent matter—is there any other news?"

He was concerned about news from the underground Communist Party.

Lin Nansheng shook his head.

“Go to this address, this is the code.” Zhang Anping told Lin Nansheng a code word, and after confirming that Lin Nansheng had memorized it, he said, “Have them spread the message: Oval.”

"oval?"

"Ah."

"Yes."

Lin Nansheng was about to take his leave when Zhang Anping stopped him: "Go and call Wang Tianfeng here."

"Yes."

The address Zhang Anping just gave Lin Nansheng is a hidden radio station, a station used to contact Minglou in emergencies.

This was originally Lao Cen's responsibility, but under the current circumstances, Zhang Anping could only send Lin Nansheng to deliver the message.

As for the telegram containing the word "ellipse," it's essentially a variation on "let it be," and Minglou will naturally understand Zhang Anping's meaning in due time. For Zhang Anping, the more complex the current situation, the easier it is for him to orchestrate his plans.

It would be best if the gluttons came looking for trouble right now—but Zhang Anping estimated they wouldn't dare; the hostages hadn't been released yet, and they wouldn't dare cause him any trouble at this time.

It's estimated that the Taotie (gluttons) have high hopes for themselves, at least more than those at the police headquarters.

Wang Tianfeng arrived quickly.

At this time, Wang Tianfeng had been silently watching the city of Chongqing, waiting for Cen Anyan's arrival. He was naturally very puzzled when he was suddenly summoned by Zhang Anping.

So after meeting him, he asked, "Did something go wrong?"

Zhang Anping gestured for Wang Tianfeng to sit on the sofa and then handed him three telegrams:
"Look—this is the mess the Telecommunications Department made."

Wang Tianfeng took the scan and began to read it. After finishing, his expression darkened.
"This would never have happened before!"

"What do you think?"

Wang Tianfeng said without hesitation: "I will take full responsibility."

Zhang Anping frowned and tapped the table with his fingers together: "I asked you what you think, not what your responsibility is—if the sky falls, the taller ones should hold it up first!"

Wang Tianfeng then said, "The Telecommunications Department needs a cleanup."

"And what about this intelligence report?"

Zhang Anping presented the intelligence about the Tang Emperor that Lin Nansheng had reported to Wang Tianfeng.

After reading it, Wang Tianfeng said with a gloomy face:

"Claws, cut them off!"

The previous incidents were internal power struggles within the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, but no one expected that the source was Tang Zong—an outsider who had reached in with his claws, so they had to be cut off.

"I mean, Tang Zong, how did he find out? Was it through an inside contact, or... does he have some other connection with Wu Liwei's side?"

This rhetorical question made Wang Tianfeng's expression even more somber.

Wang Tianfeng was concerned about the kidnapping incident because if it wasn't handled properly, it could harm the interests of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

However, after Wu Liwei revealed that Cen Anyan was in their hands, the most important thing for Wang Tianfeng was:
We must capture Cen Anyan!
Because this is what he owes Dai Chunfeng!

He was prepared to take full responsibility. As long as the doubts left to him by Cen Anyan were resolved (by uncovering the intelligence network in Cen Anyan's hands), Wang Tianfeng was willing to bear any consequences.

Therefore, the meaning revealed in Zhang Anping's words made Wang Tianfeng furious.

Wang Tianfeng dislikes political infighting, but that doesn't mean he's completely ignorant of it.

On the contrary, he actually understands very well.

In a kidnapping case, the police headquarters will definitely try to shirk responsibility, since the kidnappers are from the Security Bureau, making the Security Bureau a natural scapegoat.

He also joined forces with the kidnappers to deal with the underground party, which was a godsend.

In this situation, if the Police Headquarters confirms that the Secret Service intends to apprehend all the kidnappers to prove their innocence, they will inevitably try to obstruct the process.

If the police headquarters interferes, it could easily affect Cen Anyan.

Whether Cen Anyan escaped or died, it was all bad news for Wang Tianfeng.

After a long silence, Wang Tianfeng said:
"I'm going to Yunwu Mountain right now!"

"I'm going to find Tang Zong."

Zhang Anping nodded and said in a resolute tone, "Tell Tang Zong that for the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, anti-communism is of paramount importance! If anyone dares to sabotage the anti-communist cause, either I am a communist, or he is a communist!"

Translation: It's a fight to the death!

This is undoubtedly the greatest support for Wang Tianfeng.

"I'm leaving now."

Wang Tianfeng left without even drinking the tea Zhang Anping had prepared.

Watching Wang Tianfeng's disappearing figure, Zhang Anping breathed a sigh of relief.

With the troublesome Old Wang gone, things became much easier.

……

The bandit suppression campaign in Yunwu Mountain is finally nearing its end.

A mere few dozen bandits, the elite troops of the police headquarters, a regiment of garrison troops, and a special operations team supported by the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, totaling more than three thousand people, actually managed to hold out for three days.

As the event neared its end, some astute individuals realized the bandits were running out of tricks and said to Tang Zong:
"Chief, we've probably been fooled. Those rich kids are probably not here."

Tang Zong thought to himself: Of course I know, but I came here on purpose to avoid trouble! Otherwise, why wouldn't I let the garrison bombard us? They're just a few bandits!
He said solemnly, "No matter what, let's take down the bandits first."

"Yes."

After his subordinates left, the solemnity on Tang Zong's face dissipated, replaced by a relaxed expression.

He imagined Zhang Anping being attacked by all sides, and rewarded himself with a leisurely sip of tea, but then his expression turned gloomy.

Where's the money?!

He ran here to draw fire, but where the hell is that missing money?!

Are underground Communists really capable of flying? With such tight security, where did they hide this money?!

If I come up empty-handed, then all the time I've spent in the tent will have been wasted.

Just as he was cursing his subordinates for their incompetence, one of them walked in looking constipated.

"what's up?"

The subordinate, still constipated, said, "Chief, trouble, trouble has arrived!"

"Say! What's the matter!"

Emperor Tang glared at his trusted confidant; he hated being kept in suspense the most!

"Wu Liwei, he's here."

Wu Liwei?
Tang Zong was stunned for a moment before remembering who Wu Liwei was, then his expression changed: "Have these bastards become so audacious?"

Emperor Tang was greatly surprised.

To be more accurate, he was gritting his teeth.

Wu Liwei's approach to him was definitely not a rash decision.

Even if a kidnapper comes from the Military Intelligence Bureau, he is still just a kidnapper. If he doesn't have enough capital, would he be crazy to come after me, the head of the police headquarters?

Unless, he is confident that he has something to offer that will sway him.

So, what offers does the other party have that could entice you?

money?
impossible.

That's intelligence—for a kidnapper with a background in the Military Intelligence Bureau to provide information that appeals to him, there's only one possibility:
It's related to that bastard Zhang Shih-hao.

However, Tang Zong is now a fragile porcelain, and he really, really doesn't want to play against Zhang Shihao again.

It's too exhausting, too tiring, and too torturous.

But even though he didn't want to, he couldn't actually refuse to meet him—he was Tang Zong, the director of the police headquarters, and a veteran agent who had been with the group since the days of the Ten-Man Corps. He couldn't show any fear of Zhang Anping; his pride wouldn't allow it, nor would his large group of subordinates.

Seeing Tang Zong's reluctance, his subordinate suggested, "How about I capture him?"

"Bring in what you want—just a fart!"

Emperor Tang rebuked him, and was even angrier at his confidant. "If you were smart, you would have killed or driven him away long ago. That would have been much better."

"Wait—go and invite Mr. Kong… no, don't invite him, bring him here quietly!"

Tang Zong's words changed again and again. He originally wanted to ask someone from the Taotie family to be a witness so as not to be accused of colluding with kidnappers. But then he thought that Wu Liwei's visit was very likely to provide Zhang Shihao with incriminating evidence. If the Kong family's "supervisor" really witnessed it, it might clear Zhang Anping's name.

He then changed his tune.
