Spy War: I am the Living King of Hell

Chapter 263 Sanction Order

It took Dai Chunfeng a long time to recover. He knew that all his arrangements in Hanoi had been destroyed by Chen Gongpeng.

After thinking for a while, Dai Chunfeng asked someone to call Yang Xuewu over.

After arriving at Dai Chunfeng's office, Yang Xuewu saw that Dai Chunfeng looked normal. He understood that Dai Chunfeng must have understood clearly what Chen Gongpeng had done.

"Please sit down." Dai Chunfeng said in a flat tone.

After receiving Fang Bingyao's telegram, he no longer cared about the mistakes made by Yang Xuewu. On the contrary, he felt that he should thank Yang Xuewu. If it weren't for Yang Xuewu, he didn't know when he would have known what Chen Gongpeng had done in Hanoi.

However, the bad habit of "contradicting superiors and disobeying orders" cannot be tolerated. Dai Chunfeng decided to give Yang Xuewu a reminder, otherwise it would be difficult to lead the team.

"Yang Xuewu, I have investigated the matter clearly. Chen Gongpeng did make a big mistake, but you also contradicted your superiors and disobeyed orders. This time, since your report was meritorious, I will let you off the hook. But I tell you, there won't be a next time. If there is a next time, I will definitely punish you severely!" Dai Chunfeng warned Yang Xuewu.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xuewu naturally quickly expressed his position, saying that he would not do it again, but verbal words can never be taken seriously. If such a thing happens again next time, it will not be a matter of disobeying orders, but a matter of his withdrawal from the Military Control Commission.

After warning Yang Xuewu, Dai Chunfeng asked, "I plan to remove Chen Gongpeng. Who do you think is suitable to be the new team leader?"

Hearing this, Yang Xuewu thought for a moment and said, "Director, I think it would be best to choose someone who is familiar with the local area as the team leader. The biggest problem we have faced in Hanoi these days is the language barrier and unfamiliarity with the local area, which is a huge disadvantage for command."

"Do you think you can do it?" Dai Chunfeng asked.

Yang Xuewu was shocked when he heard this. How could this happen to him? He was now determined to return to Shanghai. He didn't want to waste his time in that damn place, Hanoi.

"Commander, I am not suitable to be the team leader. First, I have little experience. Second, I have already had a conflict with Chen Gongpeng. If I am asked to be the new team leader now, it may cause more conflicts."

Hearing this, Dai Chunfeng nodded. He didn't want Yang Xuewu to be the team leader, but wanted to test Yang Xuewu to find out whether the conflict between him and Chen Gongpeng was for power and profit, or whether they were really concerned about the work.

Now Yang Xuewu is not competing to be the leader of the Hanoi working group, which makes him quite satisfied.

In fact, Dai Chunfeng already had a suitable candidate in mind. After removing Chen Gongpeng, she would definitely have to choose someone who was familiar with the situation of the Hanoi Working Group. There would not be enough time to transfer someone from outside, which would be detrimental to the subsequent work of the Hanoi Working Group.

After much thought, Dai Chunfeng felt that Yu Xing was a suitable candidate. Yu Xing was careful and cautious in his actions, and he also knew French, making him the most suitable candidate to replace Chen Gongpeng.

"Okay, I'm going to Hanoi in the next two days. Since you said you are not suitable to continue staying in the Hanoi working group, then you should go back to Shanghai. After you arrive in Shanghai, remember to eradicate traitors. Recently, there are more and more traitors who have surrendered to the Japanese. You must suppress this trend of traitors and make them afraid to act rashly and no longer surrender to the Japanese." Dai Chunfeng said.

"Yes, Chief, I promise to complete the task."

Yang Xuewu was 100% willing to go back to Shanghai. He now regretted his trip to Hanoi. If he had known this would happen, he would have stayed in Shanghai. The time he wasted would have been enough for him to kill many Japanese invaders and traitors.

The next morning, Yang Xuewu left Hong Kong Island by boat.

The day after Yang Xuewu left, Dai Chunfeng rushed to Hanoi. After arriving in Hanoi, Dai Chunfeng first met Fang Bingyao.

From Fang Bingyao, Dai Chunfeng learned a lot about Chen Gongpeng, much more than what Yang Xuewu told her.

The more Dai Chunfeng listened, the uglier his expression became. He really couldn't understand why he had been kicked in the head by a donkey and let Chen Gongpeng take charge of such an important task.

In fact, based on Chen Gongpeng's performance in the case of sanctioning Shi Yousan and his repeated abandonment of his post and escape, Dai Chunfeng should have been alert and should have punished Chen Gongpeng. However, Dai Chunfeng not only did not punish Chen Gongpeng, but instead entrusted Chen Gongpeng with important tasks, which led to the current situation.

After understanding the whole story, Dai Chunfeng went to the working group's base in Hanoi. At this time, Chen Gongpeng had no idea that Dai Chunfeng had come to Hanoi, and he still went out drinking and having fun. When he returned to the base drunk at night, he realized that Dai Chunfeng had come.

When Dai Chunfeng saw Chen Gongpeng drunk, she became furious and started cursing at him.

"Look at yourself now, do you still look like an agent?" Dai Chunfeng cursed angrily.

Hearing Dai Chunfeng's angry curse, Chen Gongpeng sobered up immediately and then broke out in cold sweat.

Although Chen Gongpeng usually relied on the fact that he was Dai Chunfeng's old subordinate and was not very afraid of Dai Chunfeng's powerful pressure, when Dai Chunfeng really got angry, Chen Gongpeng was still scared and trembled like a kitten.

Precisely because he is Dai Chunfeng's old subordinate, he also knows Dai Chunfeng best. Dai Chunfeng does not get angry easily, but when he does, it is with thundering rage.

Moreover, he knew that Dai Chunfeng hated a sloppy work style the most. Now that he reeked of alcohol, it would definitely cause Dai Chunfeng's strong dissatisfaction.

In fact, at that time Chen Gongpeng didn’t know that Yang Xuewu had sued him. He thought that Dai Chunfeng would not know what he had done in Hanoi, but unfortunately the opponent he met was Yang Xuewu, a guy who could know what was going on in two miles without leaving his house.

"Commander, I was wrong. Please punish me." Chen Gongpeng knew Dai Chunfeng very well. If he did not take the initiative to admit his mistake at this time, Dai Chunfeng would definitely punish him severely.

But if he takes the initiative to admit his mistake and does it with a good attitude, Dai Chunfeng will let it go.

But this time Chen Gongpeng guessed wrong. If it was just about drinking, he could have gotten away with it by admitting his mistake, but this was not the only mistake he made this time.

However, looking at the drunken Chen Gongpeng, Dai Chunfeng did not get angry on the spot. Instead, he ordered his men to take Chen Gongpeng away to sleep and wait until Chen Gongpeng sobered up before doing anything else.

"Yu Xing, how do you think we should deal with Chen Gongpeng?"

Before Chen Gongpeng came back, Dai Chunfeng met Yu Xing and learned a lot from him.

After hearing Dai Chunfeng's question, Yu Xing thought for a moment and said, "Director, I mean that Station Chief Chen should be transferred back to China. I dare not say how to deal with him specifically. It is up to you to decide personally."

Yu Xing had been engaged in training work most of the time before, so he is relatively soft-hearted. If he had done what Chen Gongpeng did, and Dai Chunfeng asked Chen Gongpeng for his opinion, Chen Gongpeng would definitely say to kill Yu Xing to serve as a warning to others. Cruelty is Chen Gongpeng's label, otherwise his nickname would not be "The ruthless scholar".

In fact, Dai Chunfeng had not figured out how to deal with Chen Gongpeng. Chen Gongpeng was an old man he brought out from Honggong Temple. He had made great contributions to the Military Control Commission over the years. If he was killed directly, that would definitely not work, as it would make many old men feel disheartened.

But if Chen Gongpeng is not punished, that won't work. Chen Gongpeng has gone too far this time. If Chen Gongpeng is not punished, it would be treating the Military Control Commission's rules as a joke.

After much deliberation, Dai Chunfeng decided to take Chen Gongpeng away from Hanoi. After returning to the mountain city, he would let Chen Gongpeng reflect in prison. If Chen Gongpeng truly changed his ways, he would give Chen Gongpeng a chance, but if Chen Gongpeng refused to repent, he would keep him in prison.

The next morning, when Dai Chunfeng was having breakfast, Chen Gongpeng came to Dai Chunfeng's office nervously. He asked in a flattering manner, "Director, are you used to the food?"

After returning to his room last night, Chen Gongpeng was terrified for half the night and only fell asleep in the early morning.

This morning, when Chen Gongpeng thought about how drunk he got last night, he wanted to slap himself twice.

After quickly washing his face, he went to Dai Chunfeng's office to apologize, wanting Dai Chunfeng to see his attitude of admitting his mistakes.

Hearing what Chen Gongpeng said, Dai Chunfeng said calmly: "My breakfast cannot be compared with yours, Station Master Chen. I can just eat whatever I want."

Chen Gongpeng was startled when he heard this. He didn't expect Dai Chunfeng to reply like this. Although it sounded insignificant at first, when he thought about it carefully, he realized that Dai Chunfeng's words were full of dissatisfaction towards him.

"Commander, I know I was wrong. From now on I will never drink again." Chen Gongpeng stood up and promised.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Gongpeng finished speaking, Dai Chunfeng slammed the table with her right hand.

He asked loudly, "Chen Gongpeng, who gave you the right to drink while working? And not only drinking, don't think I don't know what you have been doing these days, playing cards during the day and visiting brothels at night, who gave you the courage to do this?"

Chen Gongpeng trembled when he heard this, and looked at Dai Chunfeng fiercely. He didn't expect that Dai Chunfeng would know all this.

"Come on, why don't you say anything? You are so arbitrary and oppressive. You really make me proud. Did I let you be the team leader so that you can do these things? Tell me, did I let you do these things?"

"What do you take your job as? Do you take my words as bullshit?" Dai Chunfeng asked angrily.

Upon hearing this, Chen Gongpeng shrank his head into his neck and dared not say a word. Only then did he understand why Dai Chunfeng came to Hanoi. It turned out that he knew what he had done in Hanoi.

Then Chen Gongpeng thought about who reported these to Dai Chunfeng, and soon a figure appeared in Chen Gongpeng's mind.

"Yang Xuewu, you are looking for death!" Chen Gongpeng said secretly in his heart.

The radio station in Hanoi is in his hands. Since Dai Chunfeng knew what he did in Hanoi, someone must have informed him. The only person who knew what he did and had the time and motive to inform Dai Chunfeng was Yang Xuewu.

What puzzled Chen Gongpeng was why Yang Xuewu knew so much about what he had done. Yang Xuewu was definitely aware of "dictatorial and oppressive behavior" but very few people knew about his playing cards and visiting brothels.

But Chen Gongpeng doesn't have time to think about these things now. What he needs to do most is to calm Dai Chunfeng's rage.

"Speak!" Dai Chunfeng suddenly shouted.

Hearing this, Chen Gongpeng glanced at Dai Chunfeng and found that Dai Chunfeng was looking at him with anger on her face. Since Chen Gongpeng met Dai Chunfeng, Chen Gongpeng had never seen Dai Chunfeng so angry with him. This time he really angered Dai Chunfeng.

"Commander, I... I'm sorry. I have failed your trust." Chen Gongpeng said with a stiff face.

Since Dai Chunfeng already knew everything, there was no point in him refutating. He could only apologize and see if Dai Chunfeng would let him go.

"Chen Gongpeng, you really disappoint me." Dai Chunfeng shook her head and said.

Just as Chen Gongpeng was about to speak, he heard Dai Chunfeng say, "Come here, take him away and keep him under strict guard."

As Dai Chunfeng finished speaking, two guards came in and escorted Chen Gongpeng out.

At this time, Chen Gongpeng choked up and shouted, "Director, for the sake of our past friendship, please forgive me this time."

But Dai Chunfeng said nothing and signaled the guards to take Chen Gongpeng away. He must teach Chen Gongpeng a lesson this time.

After being detained, Chen Gongpeng's face showed dejection. He knew that Dai Chunfeng would definitely not let him go easily this time.

This also made him hate Yang Xuewu even more. If it weren't for Yang Xuewu, he wouldn't have ended up like this. He couldn't afford to offend Dai Chunfeng, so he focused all his hatred for being imprisoned by Dai Chunfeng on Yang Xuewu.

Chen Gongpeng swore that if he ever regained his freedom, he would definitely take revenge on Yang Xuewu.

But is Yang Xuewu afraid? If he is afraid of a little Chen Gongpeng, he will not do this.

This mistake caused Chen Gongpeng to be imprisoned for almost a year before Dai Chunfeng released him. As for his confrontation with Yang Xuewu, that is a story for later.

After detaining Chen Gongpeng, Dai Chunfeng, accompanied by Yu Xing, went to No. 27 Gaolang Street to investigate in person.

Gaolang Street is not far from the downtown area, but it is very secluded. It is a high-end residential area and most of the residents here are foreigners.

No. 27 Gaolang Street, where Wang Tianhai lived, was in an excellent location and was surrounded by many tall trees. One could only observe the general appearance of the house but could not observe the specific conditions inside the house at all.

"Commander, I've already asked. Although Chen Gongpeng has been spending most of his time eating, drinking and having fun these days, he has not put down his work. He has organized several investigations and even asked Tang Yingjie to investigate, but he has not been able to find out the truth."

"The main reason is that we don't have any insiders, and the Wang residence is heavily guarded, so our people can't get close at all."

Hearing this, Dai Chunfeng nodded. After on-site investigation, he also found that it was not easy to find out the situation in Wang's mansion.

After returning to the base, Dai Chunfeng instructed Xing: "If you can't find out the situation inside the Wang Mansion, don't investigate, but you must keep a close eye on everyone who enters and leaves the Wang Mansion. Once the sanctions order is issued, you must execute the sanctions mission at all costs."

"Secretary, I understand my humble position."

Several days passed in a blink of an eye, and when Yang Xuewu arrived in Shanghai, Gao Zongwu, who had gone to Japan to "negotiate peace", returned to Hanoi.

He told Wang Tianhai that Japan agreed to Wang Tianhai's conditions and agreed to establish a "National Government" in Nanjing. The Military Control Commission soon received the news. After receiving the news, Dai Chunfeng immediately issued a sanctions order against Wang Tianhai to the "Hanoi Working Group".
