Spy War: I am the Living King of Hell

Chapter 262 The Angry Chief

"Of course I remember, and I believe you remember it too. Answer me, why did you go out and wander around against my orders?" Chen Gongpeng roared hysterically, as if he wanted to eat Yang Xuewu.

Chen Gongpeng had long been accustomed to giving orders and to having others obey his orders. Sometimes he would even ignore Dai Chunfeng's orders.

But now his nominal subordinates disobeyed his orders and mocked him mercilessly. How could Chen Gongpeng tolerate this!
But what Chen Gongpeng didn't know was that he was used to giving orders, and Yang Xuewu was also used to giving orders. Two arbitrary people would inevitably have conflicts unless one of them had the strength to overwhelm the other.

This is just like the OK combination in the NBA. When the Big Shark can suppress the Little Snake, the two get along very well. But when the old Shark can't suppress the Black Mamba, the two are bound to have conflicts and go their separate ways.

If Chen Gongpeng commands properly and proves that he is capable of being the leader of the "Hanoi Working Group", then Yang Xuewu will not be unable to accept his leadership.

But seeing Chen Gongpeng's misbehavior in Hanoi, Yang Xuewu was completely disappointed in him.

Of course, Yang Xuewu thought about staying in Hanoi. It didn't matter where he stayed, but he didn't want to fall to the bottom with a fool like Chen Gongpeng, nor did he want to waste his time abroad. His time should be used to deal with the Japanese and traitors, not to be wasted here, so he decided to break up with Chen Gongpeng.

Then it was natural for him to go out for a stroll alone. Based on Yang Xuewu's understanding of Chen Gongpeng, he knew that Chen Gongpeng would come to him sooner or later. Sure enough, Chen Gongpeng soon received the news and came to him in person.

“You are indeed the team leader, but do you remember who I am? I am the deputy team leader of the Hanoi working group. I have the right to know the progress of the Hanoi working group.

But what about now? I have become a person who does nothing. Since you do not recognize me as the deputy leader of the Hanoi working group, do you think I will recognize you as the leader? Do you think you are qualified to manage me? "Yang Xuewu said in a flat tone.

Although Yang Xuewu's tone was calm, his words made Chen Gongpeng furious. He didn't expect Yang Xuewu to say that he was worthy of it. This was a naked humiliation to him.

Chen Gongpeng was so angry that his face turned blue and red. He originally thought that Yang Xuewu was just disobeying orders, but now he understood that Yang Xuewu was not disobeying orders at all, but wanted to seize power from him.

Only those who have held power will understand that when another person tries to take away your power, it is no less than trying to take your life.

Chen Gongpeng felt the same way at the moment. He couldn't stand it anymore when he saw Yang Xuewu looking down on him. He pulled out his gun and pointed it at Yang Xuewu, threatening him, "Do you believe I can kill you?"

Seeing this scene, Yang Xuewu's memory flew across time. He thought of an old friend who, when faced with such a situation, would always pretend to be cool and say, "I bet there's no bullet in your gun."

But Yang Xuewu knew that Chen Gongpeng's gun was loaded with bullets, so he changed his old friend's words and said, "Do you believe that I can kill you before you shoot?"

After hearing that, the two men just stared at each other in silence for a few seconds. During these few seconds, the expressions of both men were very dangerous. If one of them made the slightest movement, they might face a life-and-death situation.

But Chen Gongpeng was still rational. Firstly, killing Yang Xuewu would have too much of an impact. Secondly, Yang Xuewu's answer put pressure on him. He didn't know if he could kill Yang Xuewu with one shot. If he couldn't kill Yang Xuewu, he might be the one to die. He didn't want to take that risk, so he slowly put down the gun.

Since he put down his gun, it means that Chen Gongpeng does not want to use force to deal with Yang Xuewu's violation of orders. There are only two options before Chen Gongpeng now. Either he convinces Yang Xuewu to obey his orders from now on, or he lets Yang Xuewu get out. There is no third option.

If he turned a blind eye to Yang Xuewu's violation of orders, his prestige in the "Hanoi Working Group" would be lost, which was something Chen Gongpeng did not want to see at all.

He was also unwilling to share his power with others, so his choice was very clear, which was to get Yang Xuewu out. As for the option of persuading Yang Xuewu, he automatically filtered it out because he did not believe that he could persuade Yang Xuewu.

Then Chen Gongpeng looked at Yang Xuewu fiercely and left angrily.

After returning to the "Hanoi Working Group" headquarters, Chen Gongpeng immediately asked the radio operator to send a message to Hong Kong Island, where Dai Chunfeng was currently.

Not long after, Dai Chunfeng received a telegram from Chen Gongpeng.

Dai Chunfeng frowned when he saw the words Chen Gongpeng wrote on the telegram, "Yang Xuewu defied his superiors, disobeyed orders, and wanted Yang Xuewu to get out," He did not expect such a thing to happen.

Dai Chunfeng's idea was to transfer the elite KMT prisoners to Hanoi, so that the possibility of success of the mission would be very high. But what Dai Chunfeng did not understand was that sometimes a team with tacit cooperation is much better than a team composed of a group of elites.

Dai Chunfeng could already tell from the words in the telegram that Chen Gongpeng was extremely dissatisfied with Yang Xuewu, so he could not let Yang Xuewu continue to stay in Hanoi. If Yang Xuewu continued to stay in Hanoi, he would definitely continue to have conflicts with Chen Gongpeng, which would have a huge impact on the mission in Hanoi.

Dai Chunfeng was very dissatisfied with the conflict between the two, and he was not only dissatisfied with Yang Xuewu, but also with Chen Gongpeng. If Chen Gongpeng had the ability, he would definitely make Yang Xuewu obey his orders, instead of using this method to let Yang Xuewu leave the "Hanoi Working Group". This shows that Chen Gongpeng's control over the "Hanoi Working Group" is insufficient.

His dissatisfaction with Yang Xuewu was much simpler. As a manager, he could not tolerate anyone who disrespected his superiors and disobeyed orders. However, Dai Chunfeng was still undecided about how to deal with Yang Xuewu. Although Chen Gongpeng held a higher position in his mind than Yang Xuewu, Yang Xuewu's position in his heart was not insignificant either.

Except for the fact that he sometimes pretended to obey him but actually disobeyed him, Yang Xuewu was much better than Chen Gongpeng in other aspects. Chen Gongpeng had failed repeatedly in the past six months and had a sloppy attitude towards work, while Yang Xuewu, in contrast, had made many great contributions. However, there was one thing that Yang Xuewu could not compare with Chen Gongpeng, and that was his loyalty to Dai Chunfeng.

As a manager, this is why Dai Chunfeng chose Chen Gongpeng as the leader of the "Hanoi Working Group" instead of Yang Xuewu. Qualifications have never been a problem, but loyalty is a big problem.

"Call Chen Gongpeng back and ask Yang Xuewu to come to Hong Kong Island." Dai Chunfeng said to the radio operator.

Soon Chen Gongpeng received a call back from Dai Chunfeng. After receiving the call, Chen Gongpeng immediately asked someone to deliver Dai Chunfeng's message to Yang Xuewu. He wanted to get Yang Xuewu away from Hanoi as quickly as possible.

Every day Yang Xuewu stayed in Hanoi, his prestige dropped.

After receiving the telegram, Yang Xuewu did not delay. The next day he found Fang Bingyao and asked him to buy a plane ticket for him. The next day he boarded a plane to Hong Kong Island.

When Yang Xuewu arrived at the airport, the person who came to pick him up was still Dai Chunfeng's personal guard Wang Weiguo, but this time his face was very solemn, because he knew that Dai Chunfeng was very dissatisfied with Yang Xuewu in the past two days. On the way to the Wanjing Building Apartment in Causeway Bay, the two did not speak. In fact, Yang Xuewu's heart was not at peace in the past two days. He didn't know how Dai Chunfeng viewed what he did, but he didn't regret it, because he didn't want to cooperate with such a stupid person as Chen Gongpeng.

After arriving at the apartment, Yang Xuewu went into Dai Chunfeng's office alone. Dai Chunfeng was reading a document at this time, and he didn't even raise his head when Yang Xuewu came in.

Then the office fell into silence. Dai Chunfeng was reading a document and Yang Xuewu stood still. Yang Xuewu knew that this was a show of force from Dai Chunfeng. As long as he was still in the Military Control Commission, he had to accept Dai Chunfeng's show of force, unless he wanted to fall out with Dai Chunfeng.

Ten minutes passed in a flash. Dai Chunfeng put down the documents and looked at Yang Xuewu.

Looking at Yang Xuewu's determined face, Dai Chunfeng didn't know how to start. Before Yang Xuewu came, he wondered whether he would curse at Yang Xuewu and vent all his anger of the past two days on Yang Xuewu.

But when he really met Yang Xuewu, he found that he could not get angry. If he met Yang Xuewu on the day he received Chen Gongpeng's telegram, he would definitely get angry, but after two days of calming down, his anger had been suppressed. He now wanted to hear why Yang Xuewu did this and why he wanted to go against Chen Gongpeng.

"Give me an explanation, why didn't you obey Chen Gongpeng's orders?" Dai Chunfeng asked calmly.

In fact, underneath this calmness, Dai Chunfeng was suppressing a lot of anger. If Yang Xuewu's explanation was acceptable to Dai Chunfeng, then this anger would subside, but if Yang Xuewu's explanation was not acceptable to Dai Chunfeng, then this anger would be vented on Yang Xuewu in an instant.

"He doesn't deserve it!" Yang Xuewu blurted out.

To this day, Yang Xuewu is no longer afraid of Dai Chunfeng. He just says what he wants to say directly. How Dai Chunfeng decides to deal with him is Dai Chunfeng's business. If he can accept Dai Chunfeng's result, then he will accept it. If he cannot accept it, then they will go their separate ways. It is impossible for him to beg Dai Chunfeng to spare him in a humble manner, and he does not think that Dai Chunfeng can kill him.

When Dai Chunfeng heard Yang Xuewu's answer, she instantly became furious.

He asked sharply, "If he doesn't deserve it, then who do you think deserves it? Do you think you deserve it?"

"I don't know who is worthy, but at least Chen Gongpeng is not worthy." Yang Xuewu said tit for tat.

Hearing this, Dai Chunfeng suppressed her anger and asked, "Why is he not worthy?"

Dai Chunfeng is now extremely dissatisfied with Yang Xuewu, but he has the patience to listen to Yang Xuewu's explanation.

"I don't think a person who plays cards in his room during the day, visits brothels at night, acts arbitrarily and suppresses dissidents can be a good team leader."

Dai Chunfeng's head was about to explode when she heard what Yang Xuewu said. "Playing cards in the room during the day and visiting brothels at night." Is this what a leader with important responsibilities abroad should do?
At this time, Dai Chunfeng was filled with anger towards Chen Gongpeng. He felt that he had entrusted such an important task to Chen Gongpeng because he believed that Chen Gongpeng could shoulder his trust, but what did Chen Gongpeng give him in return? "Playing cards in the room during the day and visiting brothels at night" was something that Dai Chunfeng, who attached great importance to his work, could not accept at all.

At the same time, he also understood why Chen Gongpeng had been in Hanoi for some time but had not made any progress in his work. Chen Gongpeng spent all his time on fun and women, so how could there be any progress in his work?

In anger, Dai Chunfeng questioned Yang Xuewu, "You are the deputy leader of the Hanoi Working Group, why didn't you stop him?"

Hearing Dai Chunfeng's question, Yang Xuewu shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "I can't even see Chen Gongpeng. He drove several of us out of the station and made us live outside. He also forbade us to go out and wander around. How can I stop him?"

“Moreover, Chen Gongpeng made all the decisions in the Hanoi Working Group and never listened to other people’s opinions. Even if I made suggestions, he would not listen. Since you left, we have lost our voice in the Hanoi Working Group.”

"I thought it was a waste of time to stay here all the time, so I might as well go out and get information. But Chen Gongpeng insisted that I was disobeying his orders by going out, and even threatened me with a gun, so I had a conflict with him."

Yang Xuewu used the Spring and Autumn style of writing here, but as long as what Yang Xuewu said about "playing cards in the room during the day, visiting brothels at night, being arbitrary and dictatorial, and suppressing dissidents" are true, then what Yang Xuewu said later is true. Dai Chunfeng simply does not have the patience to verify it, because what he said before was enough to make Chen Gongpeng suffer.

When Yang Xuewu finished speaking, Dai Chunfeng was completely stunned. He did not expect things to turn out like this. The "Hanoi Working Group" he had worked so hard to set up became Chen Gongpeng's independent kingdom. Chen Gongpeng not only issued orders within the kingdom, but was also addicted to it.

Then, endless anger surged in Dai Chunfeng's chest, and there was only one thought left in his mind, "That is why he let Chen Gongpeng, this incompetent idiot, be the leader of the "Hanoi Working Group"."

"Are your words true?" Dai Chunfeng asked Yang Xuewu seriously.

"Director, my words are completely true. You can verify it. If what I said is false, I am willing to accept any punishment." Yang Xuewu assured.

"Okay, go down and have a rest. I'll find you again after I find out what happened."

After Yang Xuewu left, Dai Chunfeng angrily grabbed the teacup beside her and threw it to the ground.

From Yang Xuewu's firm words, Dai Chunfeng was already certain that Chen Gongpeng in Hanoi was just as Yang Xuewu said, but he really needed to verify the details, as he still had a backup plan in Hanoi.

As for Dai Chunfeng's backup plan left in Hanoi, it is easy to guess, that is Fang Bingyao. Fang Bingyao is not only the logistical support for the Hanoi working group, but he is also Dai Chunfeng's secret agent left in Hanoi, responsible for supervision work.

Not long after, Dai Chunfeng received a call back from Fang Bingyao, which contained only four words.

"Basically true."

It was these four words that made Dai Chunfeng unable to recover for a long time. Although Yang Xuewu had explained it in advance, he still had a glimmer of hope, that is, Yang Xuewu might say something nonsense in order to throw dirty water on Chen Gongpeng. This possibility was very small, but not impossible. However, these four words shattered all of Dai Chunfeng's hopes.
