My spy diary

Chapter 521 Intelligence
I wish all the candidates to write brilliantly and pass the exam! Ride the wind and waves, and have a promising future!
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, the windows were blurred by the water, and the street scene outside was not visible clearly.

Zhang Yi was sitting under the orange light, concentrating on receiving today's intelligence.

[Today’s information has been refreshed]

[1. You met He Shangyou today and obtained relevant information - He Shangyou will meet Chen Jianding tonight.]

[2. You met Chen Jianding today and obtained relevant information - Chen Jianding, a graduate of the Qingpu training class, was ordered to infiltrate the Central Bureau of Investigation and is currently the secretary of Meng Zhen, the head of the Fourth Section of the Central Bureau of Investigation.]

Zhang Yi was worried as he read the intelligence on the screen. According to the intelligence, the so-called "Jiangnan Plan" had been going on for several months and was completely aimed at the Red Party. It might have entered the countdown state, but the Red Party still knew nothing about it. He had to race against time to uncover the mystery of the "Jiangnan Plan" before the enemy closed the net.

As he thought of this, his expression became more serious.

After frowning and thinking for a while, he called Zheng Huhe.

Soon, Zheng Huhe returned.

"What happened?"

"I know who he is."

"Who?"

"Chen Jianding is an undercover agent from the Military Control Commission who has infiltrated the Central Control Commission. He is now Meng Zhen's secretary."

Zheng Huhe breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they were not underground party members who had rebelled or spies who had infiltrated the organization.

However, Zhang Yi's next words made him even more shocked.

Zheng Huhe was somewhat surprised when he heard this: "Do you suspect that this so-called Jiangnan Plan is targeting our underground organization?"

"I can't tell where exactly, but it must be targeting an underground organization. I'm sure of that." There was a determined light in Zhang Yi's eyes.

Zheng Huhe listened attentively, and his expression could not help but become a little heavy. If everything was really as Zhang Yi expected, it would be a black hole, bottomless.

"I have to report to the organization immediately."

Zhang Yi glanced at his watch. It was half past twelve in the morning. He looked out the window and saw that the rain had stopped. "The earlier you go, the earlier you will come back."

Zheng Huhe suddenly realized something and suddenly woke up: "You have already drawn up an action plan, right?"

"As a matter of fact, we must immediately learn the essence of the Jiangnan Plan. Although it is risky, we have no choice! Our first step is to find a safe house, or an interrogation room." Zhang Yi planned, "The second step is to trick Meng Zhen from the Central Bureau of Investigation out. This time we can't let others do it, we have to do it ourselves."

Zheng Huhe said "hmm" and asked, "Do you need me to mobilize some personnel?"

"Not for now, unless it's absolutely necessary."

Zheng Huhe nodded.

"Success or failure depends on this one move. The action plan will be carried out tonight. The code name of the operation is 'Kill two birds with one stone'!"

"Yes."

"Get ready and give them a big show tonight."

Zhongtong.

Meng Zhen, the head of the fourth section, returned to his office with a tired look on his face. As the director of the department that planned the anti-red campaign and was regarded as the "engine" of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics' anti-red campaign, he was under great pressure at work. The "Jiangnan Plan" had been implemented for more than five months, and the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics agents had basically mastered the activities of the Red Party's Southern Working Committee.

At this point, differences of opinion arose among the Jiangxi Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics secret service organizations regarding the next work guidelines.

One group believes that the time for sabotage is ripe and advocates closing the net immediately, otherwise the opportunity will be missed; but the other group believes that it is necessary to continue to gain in-depth understanding, cast a long line, catch big fish, and make sure to catch them all in one fell swoop.

The two factions expressed their own opinions and argued fiercely, and both sent telegrams to Xu Zeng'en to state their respective views.

To this end, Xu Zeng'en personally presided over a meeting of senior advisers at the bureau headquarters tonight to discuss this issue. Unexpectedly, at this core meeting of the Central Bureau, two completely different opinions also emerged.

"A bird in the hand is worth a thousand in the bush. If you are indecisive, how can you accomplish anything?" Thinking of the fierce debate at the meeting, Meng Zhen became furious and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Days of intense work made his voice sound a little hoarse, but from his resolute tone, it could be heard that he didn't want to relax at all.

He glanced at his watch and saw that it was already two o'clock in the morning. He was just about to call home to tell them that he would not be going back tonight when the phone suddenly rang.

He thought for a moment, picked up the phone, but said nothing, waiting for the person on the line to speak first. After a moment, a man's rough and low voice came from the phone:

"Section Chief Meng?"

The voice was unfamiliar. Meng Zhen became alert and paused before asking:
"who are you?"

"Section Chief Meng is such a forgetful person that he can't even recognize my voice?"

Meng Zhen thought for a moment and replied, "It's you. What's the matter so late?"

A sneer came from the phone, followed by a gnashing voice: "Stop pretending, I'm Yang Zaixing."

Hearing the person on the other side introduce himself, Meng Zhen widened his eyes in astonishment.

Ever since he forced Yang Zaixing to drink his urine, he has been worried that he would get revenge on him, so he has been extra vigilant during this period, and his bodyguards are always with him. But strangely, Yang Zaixing has not taken any action. He did not relax, but became even more worried.

At this moment, Yang Zaixing took the initiative to call. What did he want to do?
Meng Zhen hesitated for a moment, then calmly opened a drawer and turned on a monitoring device. He then pretended to be relaxed and said, "Oh, it's Deputy Director Yang. What's up?"

"Humph, I'm too lazy to call you if there's nothing wrong. I want to skin you alive for people like you. However, there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in this world. People who were eating and drinking tea together yesterday and were close to each other may turn against each other and become enemies today. The same is true in reverse. A few minutes ago, I couldn't imagine calling a bastard like you."

Hearing Yang Zaixing's indignant tone, Meng Zhen couldn't help but laugh, but he was still very vigilant. The weasel's New Year greetings to the chicken had no good intentions. The hatred between the two was already a dead knot, and he didn't believe that Yang Zaixing would let it go easily. So he said lightly:
"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

"There is a deal regarding an insider. Is Chief Meng interested?"

"Insider?" Hearing these two words, Meng Zhen's expression froze. Just as he was about to speak, another voice came from the phone, "If you want to know who he is, come to see me at the Central Hotel."

"Meet? There's no need for that. We've always kept to ourselves. If people find out that you and I are communicating privately, we'll be in big trouble. Besides, the so-called traitor is just a trick. If I really believed you and went to meet you, what if it turned out to be a trap? Wouldn't I be courting death? Haha, I'm not that stupid." When he thought of this, cold sweat broke out on his spine and his body tensed unconsciously.

"Haha, I didn't expect that people who have been to Pagoda Mountain are so timid." The sarcasm on the other end of the phone was not concealed. "You think you are so smart? We have people lurking around you. They even know when you eat and sleep every day. You have been kept in the dark for so long, like a stupid old cat, and you are still acting smart here."

Meng Zhen's face darkened, but he remained unmoved. Face was important, but life was more important. Even if there was really an undercover sent by the Military Control Commission lurking around him, that was his own business, and it was not the turn of an outsider like Yang Zaixing to worry about it.

"It's not the place for outsiders to worry about our Central Bureau of Investigation's affairs. Anything else? No, I'm hanging up now."

The person on the other end of the line did not answer his question directly, but only said faintly: "What if it is related to the Jiangnan Project?" Meng Zhen shuddered when he heard this, and asked tremblingly: "You, what do you know?"

The phone hangs up.

"Hello! Hello! Hello!" Meng Zhen's heart beat faster, his palms were sweaty, and he slowly hung up the phone.

He slumped down in a chair, his face tense and silent. Under the soft light, his face looked particularly gloomy.

After a moment's pause, he opened the drawer, put on his headphones, and listened to the conversation again.

Hearing the words "Jiangnan Plan" made him shudder. If Xu Zeng'en knew that the "major case that has not been seen for many years" that he had been thinking about failed because he leaked the information, he, Meng, would have no way to survive.

Although Xu often said that "the way to employ people is to use both kindness and power, neither of which can be missing", he advocated moving people with "emotion" and touching people with "emotion" within the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and he had many tricks, many of which were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

For example, when the agents at the secret service headquarters got married, unless there were special circumstances, Xu would rush to be the witness; whenever his subordinates' parents had birthdays, he would send a birthday gift and personally visit them and bow three times. Although it was just a pretense, if you ask yourself, Meng couldn't do it, and even disdained to do it. Not to mention, when a subordinate of the Central Bureau of Investigation had a child, he would also send a few clothes or small toys. For such things, Xu Zeng was never tired of doing it himself, and he had a gentle and elegant demeanor, which moved all the little spies to the point of being confused and working for him wholeheartedly.

But if you assume that Xu is kindhearted, you are totally wrong. Only a core figure like Meng Zhen who truly knows the other party's background knows that his boss is moody and has an extremely sinister and treacherous heart hidden under his gentle and elegant appearance.

After hesitating for a long time, Meng Zhen finally made up his mind, picked up the phone receiver, and dialed a number: "Team Leader Yang, come over."

Soon, a smart and capable plainclothes officer knocked on the door and came in: "Chief."

When he saw Team Leader Yang, Meng Zhen pointed directly at the phone and said, "Go check where that call came from."

"Yes." Team leader Yang left and quickly brought back the answer.

Meng Zhen took out a map from the drawer and quickly found the location of the public telephone booth, which was near Yang Zaixing's home.

"Very good, take a few people to the Central Hotel right away, and ask Team Leader Liu to come along as well."

"Yes."

It was late at night outside the window. Yang Zaixing lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling, unable to sleep.

A few hours ago, he received a call from Mao Qiwu, announcing that he would replace Zhang Yi as the director of the Judicial Department. The news sounded both gratifying and disappointing.

I was relieved that I finally got a promotion, but I was disappointed not only about the word "agent", but also about Zhang Yi.

He felt unhappy and uneasy when he thought that Zhang Yi still held the position of detention center director.

Yang's wife was playing with a pair of jade bracelets at the moment:
"Lai Guomin is well-informed, so why hasn't Ruan made any move yet?"

As soon as the news of Yang Zaixing's promotion spread, gifts came one after another. That night, Yang Zaixing and his wife were busy admiring various antique jewels.

Hearing the words "Deputy Director Ruan", Yang Zaixing sneered and was about to speak when the phone suddenly rang.

He picked up:

"Hey?"

A provocative voice sounded from the other end of the phone: "Director Yang? I'm Meng Zhen."

Hearing the word "Meng Zhen", Yang Zaixing flew into a rage: "How dare you call my house!"

Meng Zhen said in a hoarse tone, with a hint of sarcasm: "Isn't it disturbing Director Yang?"

“If you have something to say, say it, and if you have something to say, let it go!”

"Director Yang is still so angry. Haha, let's get back to the point - I know who the traitor is in your Military Control Commission."

Yang Zaixing subconsciously asked: "Who is it?"

"Haha, don't worry, bring twenty gold bars and come to the Central Hotel."

Yang Zaixing forced himself to calm down: "Humph, why should I believe you?"

"believe it or not."

With a "click", the phone was disconnected.

In the dark night, two cars were driving one after the other on the road leading to the Central Hotel.

Meng Zhen sat in the back seat of the next car, thinking, his mind full of all kinds of terrible assumptions.

He closed his eyes slightly, not noticing that the driver had looked vigilantly through the rearview mirror several times.

The road was not smooth, and a sudden bump woke Meng Zhen up. Due to inertia, he rushed forward and grabbed the seat in front of him:
"what happened?"

"Someone is following us." The driver said carefully.

Meng Zhen's heart shuddered. He pulled open the car window curtain and carefully stuck his head out to take a look. Sure enough, there was a black car, driving slowly and following behind their car.

"Get rid of it."

"Yes." As soon as he finished speaking, the driver honked the horn, and when he saw that the car in front had accelerated, he stepped on the accelerator.

However, at that moment, a truck suddenly appeared. The car in front was caught off guard and rushed forward. Then, a pistol was extended from the truck window.

In an instant, there was a loud burst of gunfire.

The second car that Meng Zhen was in was caught off guard and crashed into the first car.

The person driving the truck was Zheng Huhe, who shot and killed the driver of the car in front.

Hearing the gunshots, Zhang Yi got out of the back car and quickly pressed the chronograph second hand - they only had two minutes to act.

At this time, the spy in the first car called on his companions to fight back, while struggling to open the door and get out of the car to fight back against Zheng Huhe.

In a flash, Zhang Yi pulled the trigger without hesitation and killed the two plainclothes officers who showed up with two shots.

The car behind saw that the car in front had an accident and wanted to reverse and escape, but that car seemed to be out of control. The driver was in a panic and just turned the steering wheel, there were two "bangs" and the rear tires were blew up by Zhang Yi. At this time, Zheng Huhe, under the cover of Zhang Yi, had already crouched and began to approach the second car.

Meng Zhen looked at the spy beside him who was hit in the wrist, grimacing in pain, and hurriedly pulled out a gun.
