The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 462 Xiong Jiandong's People

"Was it Ding Moqun's idea to detain the father and son of the Cao family, or was it Lin Shiqun's decision?" Cheng Mo asked Kuizi.

"It should be a joint decision between the two. Cao and his son were invited by Sun Mingqi to have a New Year's Eve dinner at Wang Miao's home in Huacun. Afterwards, they were taken to the meeting room of No. 76 Gaoyang House and then detained."

"It seems that this was a premeditated arrest operation. It was chosen to be carried out on New Year's Eve. No wonder the father and son of the Cao family were caught off guard." Cheng Mo nodded.

"Aren't the Cao father and son Ding Moqun's men? Why would he arrest our own people?" Dachun asked in confusion.

"I don't know the specific charges. All I know is what I heard from Pershing. Also, No. 76 was also having the New Year's Eve dinner last night. Wu Sibao got drunk and started a fight with Mao Ziming, and they almost came to blows." Kuizi said.

"Were you there?"

"Well, I was there, but I didn't see how they quarreled. I only heard about it later. Wu Sibao made innuendos and said a lot of bad things about Ding Mocun. He also cursed some people, saying they were ungrateful and that they were eating someone's food and smashing whose pots they were working for. It is said that Ding Mocun's face was very dark and he walked out in anger on the spot." Kuizi said.

"Where's Lin Shiqun?"

"He left the table early. Otherwise, how could Wu Sibao dare to act drunk and crazy in front of Ding Mocun?"

"The conflict between Ding and Lin has been brought to light. Is Ding Moqun going to endure it?" Dachun asked doubtfully.

Without the evidence of Pinglu's assassination in Lin Shiqun's hands, Ding Moqun should not be afraid of Lin Shiqun at this time. How could he endure such humiliation?

The power of No. 76 was concentrated in the hands of Lin Shiqun. There were two landmark events. One was that another deputy director, Tang Huimin, was persuaded by Lin Shiqun to go to Nanjing to form another team. Ding Moqun lost such a powerful supporter as Tang. It became increasingly difficult for him to control the people under him, as he was already in a suspended position. He did not have many people he could use, let alone those who were against Lin Shiqun.

Another incident was that he fell into Zheng Pinglu's beauty trap and was almost assassinated. Lin Shiqun found out about this incident and Ding could no longer compete with him in No. 76, so he gradually withdrew from the specific affairs of No. 76 and left the matter to Lin Shiqun.

Ding Moqun suffered because he did not have his own direct team and he underestimated Lin Shiqun's ambition and ability. He did not expect that this guy, whom he looked down upon, could push him to this point.

Lin Shiqun had money and connections, which was one of the reasons why Ding Moqun could not fight against him. Although the Japanese supported Ding and Lin to establish the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters, when it came to money, they only recognized Lin Shiqun. Even the Japanese gendarmerie squad stationed at No. 76 had a closer relationship with Lin Shiqun.

"It's hard to say. Ding is the boss at No. 76 and his word is final. Even Lin Shiqun gets scolded sometimes," said Kuizi.

As they were talking, footsteps were heard outside the door. Three people, all familiar faces. Lao Miao lifted the door curtain and led Shen Mo and Wu Jianfeng in.

I shook off the coldness and rubbed my hands. Since I was late, I had to drink a glass of wine as a punishment to warm myself up.

"Second brother doesn't come here often, so we should drink more today." Cheng Mo picked up the copper pot on the charcoal stove, which naturally contained the hot and premium Huadiao wine.

"I'm different from you guys. I can't leave my work on a regular basis." Wu Jianfeng laughed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"I heard that my second brother got promoted again?"

"You've been promoted to a smaller level. In a few days, you won't have to wear military uniform anymore and can switch to plainclothes." Wu Jianfeng nodded. Wearing a military uniform, many things are not easy to do, and the working hours are also restricted. If you switch to plainclothes, not only will your life be much easier and freer, but your salary and benefits will also increase significantly.

"Have you ever thought about transferring to the Political Department?"

"I'm in the robber class now. If I want to transfer to the political department, it's not an easy thing and it's also difficult to operate." Wu Jianfeng said in a low voice.

"If you want to transfer, I'll find a way." Cheng Mo said. "Will it be too much trouble?" Wu Jianfeng asked after a moment's hesitation.

"Everything has a price. Second brother, it will be beneficial to us if you can enter the Political Department of the Police Station." Cheng Mo explained.

Since it is beneficial to the work of the "Dark Fire" team, Wu Jianfeng naturally no longer objects.

"Come on, we brothers finally get together, let's go one by one."

"Seventh sister is pregnant this year, otherwise today would be more lively with seventh sister here." Speaking of seventh sister Su Moer, although everyone has not met her often, they all treat her as a treasure. Not only because Su Moer is the youngest of seven siblings, but more because Su Moer is Cheng Mo's wife, and she treated their wounds many times when they were injured in the field hospital.

"Sixth brother, have you chosen a name for the child? We all want to be godfathers!" Wu Jianfeng said. Among the six brothers, only Cheng Mo is married, and the other five are still single. There is also an old bachelor, Lao Miao, who does not plan to start a family in this lifetime. But Wu Jianfeng and the other three still have a chance, after all, they are not too old.

"We don't know yet whether it's a boy or a girl. There's no rush to name it. We'll decide after the baby is born." Cheng Mo smiled. He died before getting married in his previous life, so naturally he had no experience of being a father. He didn't expect that he would have the chance to be a father in this life.

When a man becomes a father, the responsibilities on his shoulders become even greater.

It is no longer a matter of one person feeding the whole family. He has to support his wife and children, and also take care of his children's education and future. This is a very sacred responsibility.

"That's right. You are the first one among us brothers to get married. No matter whether the first child is a boy or a girl, he will be the eldest brother or sister. In the future, the responsibility on his shoulders for our next generation will be heavy!"

"Brother, now that you mention it, I regret having a child..."

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.

They are brothers who have survived the battle together and are now fighting side by side. This kind of relationship is like that of brothers that transcends blood ties.

"My brothers, my identity may change from now on, and you may hear some bad rumors about me..."

"We believe you. You had an affair with that Japanese girl for the information from the Japanese. You didn't really surrender to the Japanese and become a traitor."

Although the term "mistress" sounds unpleasant, it is not wrong.

"In this case, wouldn't Lao Liu be in danger at any time? Those who are unaware of the situation will definitely criticize you and even try to assassinate you?" Lao Miao said worriedly.

"Even if there is no assassination, it depends on the situation. We should write and perform it ourselves. Otherwise, how can we gain the trust of the Japanese?"

"Cooperating in acting is not a big problem, but we are afraid that the fake will become real. There are many examples of undercover agents dying at the hands of their own people." Shen Mo said.

"No rush. Our next mission goal is to gain certain powers in the Shanghai Police Department and have an armed force in our hands after the Japanese army has occupied the concession and taken control of the entire Shanghai."

"Sixth Brother, how can you be sure that the Japanese will occupy the concession?" Everyone asked in surprise.

"This is what I inferred based on the current international and domestic situation." Cheng Mo explained slowly.
