The Spy

Chapter 191 Safety is important
Fang Laibao could confirm that the letter of allegiance was indeed handwritten by Tong Changming, there was no problem.

Yan Ming is clever, while Fang Laibao is serious, which is his greatest strength.

Fang Laibao came out with a letter of allegiance. As for the tape recorder, someone would come to take it. It was too heavy, so Fang Laibao didn't need to carry it himself.

"Chief, I can confirm that it was written by Tong Changming himself."

Fang Laibao handed the letter of allegiance to Xu Zhanjie. This thing was top secret and could not remain in his hands, not even in the intelligence department.

It should be placed in a top-secret filing cabinet that can only be viewed with the director's consent.

The security there is tight and the management is even stricter. No one is allowed to enter alone. Any unrelated person who approaches will be arrested and then strictly checked.

This ensures the security of top-secret information.

"Okay, send the money to them right away, but tell them to be careful and not show it to others."

Money has always been the focus of investigation. Although all members of the Kuomintang are greedy, they have a rough idea of ​​how much they can embezzle, how many channels they have, and the income and expenditure.

If there is extra wealth that cannot be traced, you will immediately be suspected.

There is too much missing, and it cannot be explained.

Especially their intelligence department.

"Yes, Chief, but Tong Changhai is a potential threat."

Fang Laibao whispered that Tong Changhai had made great contributions this time and gave him a lot of money.

Now that the goal has been achieved, he can go home, but he has so much money in his hands. If he spends money recklessly when he returns home, he will easily be reported.

People these days are honest, but there are also a lot of bad people.

We are all the same, but when neighbors or relatives suddenly live well, many people will have bad thoughts.

Not to mention now, there will be many such people in the future.

"Let him give the money to Tong Changming for safekeeping. Tong Changming knows what to do."

Xu Zhanjie said without thinking that the money must be given to them as it was their value, but Tong Changhai could not take so much money, so it would be best to give it to Tong Changming.

Tong Changming knows how to hide the money, so just give it to Tong Changhai slowly in the future.

"Okay, I'll go hint to Tong Changming."

Fang Laibao smiled. Poor Tong Changhai, he thought he had made a fortune, but in the end the money didn't fall into his hands.

It is estimated that Tong Changhai has been taught a lesson by his brother, but since Tong Changming has agreed, he will not go too far with his younger brother.

Tong Changming already takes care of his younger siblings, so I will give him this money slowly in the future.

This is the limit of Tong Changhai’s value. If he is not needed in the future, there will be no chance for him to make more money.

In the afternoon, Tong Changming secretly received a box.

There were thirty-two gold bars inside, thirty of which belonged to him and two belonged to Tong Changhai. The Military Intelligence Department was very trustworthy and gave them every penny they deserved.

However, there was a note in the box, suggesting that Tong Changhai having so much money was a hidden danger.

He didn't say how to deal with it, Tong Changming could do it himself.

After reading the contents of the note, Tong Changming burned it.

His brother had confessed to him that the Military Intelligence Department had given him a total of two hundred dollars and a gold bar, and this time it was two gold bars.

It adds up to more than a thousand dollars.

He wants to get the money back. The Military Intelligence Department's consideration makes sense. If the money is in Tong Changhai's hands, it will bring him great danger.

Just give it to him slowly later.

"Changhai, this is yours."

Tong Changming called his brother into the study and took out two gold bars.

Tong Changhai was slightly stunned, and immediately understood that his brother had agreed to their request, so they sent the money.

"Thank you, brother."

Tong Changhai immediately stepped forward, picked up two gold bars in each hand, and couldn't let go.

Money can tempt people. The more honest a person is, the less he can resist the temptation of wealth.

“Is gold pretty?”

Tong Changming asked with a smile, and Tong Changhai nodded vigorously: "It looks good, really good."

"Put all the money they give you here with me. I will give it to you slowly in the future. You are going back home tomorrow and can only take 20 yuan with you."

Tong Changming said lightly. Tong Changhai was stunned and looked up at his brother.

"You can't take that much money. If we're discovered, we'll all be doomed. Don't worry, if you need money in the future, I'll give it to you."

Tong Changming explained, and Tong Changhai became anxious: "Brother, I promise not to spend it carelessly, I can just keep it myself."

This amount is more than a thousand dollars. Even though he is his eldest brother, he doesn't want to hand it over. He feels more at ease keeping it by himself. When no one is around, he can secretly take it out and have a look at it to make himself happy.

"Stupid, it's not okay if you keep it. Don't worry, I won't take your money, you have to give it to me."

Tong Changming scolded his brother, saying that his brother was too stupid and had no idea of ​​the danger. Normally he could give in to his brother, but he could never compromise when it came to matters concerning his life and property.

"elder brother……"

"Go, bring it to me right away."

Tong Changming suddenly stood up. Tong Changhai was unwilling, but he finally gave in to his brother's dominance.

In their family, the eldest brother is the head of the family.

After confirming the amount was correct, Tong Changming put all the money together and said softly, "Don't worry, I absolutely don't want your things. I will give you more every year, but you must not let anyone know about this money, otherwise you and I will all die."

"Brother, I listen to you."

Tong Changhai felt heartbroken but could do nothing about it. Although he was given twenty yuan, twenty yuan was far less than more than one thousand yuan.

It's okay to give him half.

That's the result.

He didn't know that giving him twenty yuan was already a lot. If it wasn't too little, Tong Changming would only give him a few yuan.

Twenty yuan could at least be explained. After all, Tong Changhai came to him in name only to be driven away by him for nothing. It was completely reasonable to give him more money as compensation.

If there are too many words, even smart people can see the problem.

"Even if you have this money, don't spend it carelessly when you get back. I warn you again. If you reveal your flaws, not only you and I will be finished, but everyone in our family may be finished."

Tong Changming had to explain to him the seriousness of the problem, then took out a stack of photos and asked him to look at them one by one.

They all showed the miserable looks of the interrogators in the interrogation department.

After looking at only two photos, Tong Changhai put them down and dared not look at them again. The people in the photos were so miserable, they were beaten beyond recognition.

"I tell you, if people know what we did, our fate will be even worse than theirs."

Tong Changming couldn't take him to the prison to see those people in person, so he could only let him look at photos.

These photos are old photos and are not confidential. Moreover, he rephotographed them and cleaned them himself. They will be destroyed after Tong Changhai has looked at them, so no one will know.

"Brother, I won't watch it anymore. I know it's tragic."

Tong Changhai shook his head, and Tong Changming slammed the table: "Look, you must finish looking at the whole picture for me. Look at each picture for one minute, and you are not allowed to look anywhere else."

Tong Changhai took an hour to look at fifty or sixty photos.

If he didn't read these, he wouldn't know how cruel reality is. This time he brought it upon himself. He was deceived and implicated himself.

Tong Changming only slapped him twice, which was the lightest punishment.

Tong Changhai shuddered, not daring to refute. He obediently picked up the photo. Seeing his eyes flickering, Tong Changming immediately came over and slapped him.

Not only let him look, but also let him look very carefully.

While he was watching, Tong Changming explained to him what crime this person had committed and what the final outcome was.

It took Tong Changhai two full hours to finish reading it.

At this time, his eyes were red and many tears were flowing.

After his eldest brother's introduction, he finally understood what mistake he had made and that he had harmed his eldest brother.

"Brother, it's my fault. I'm sorry. I didn't know that bastard was lying to me."

Tong Changhai hit himself and apologized.

Tong Changming breathed a sigh of relief. What had happened in the past could not be changed. It was good that his brother understood the mistake he had made. He should be careful when he returned and not reveal any flaws. Then they would be safe.

"When you go back tomorrow, live your life as before. Don't run around, and don't say anything to anyone. Otherwise, those people in the photo will end up like us."

"Don't worry, I won't say anything."

Tong Changhai was still crying. These photos had played a role. Not to mention that he took the initiative, he would not even mention it if someone asked him.

The fate of the people in these photos really scared him.

Most of them are already dead, and those who are still alive are not much better off. It would be better for them to be dead, as they will live in hell forever and be tortured and punished frequently.

"You go out first."

Tong Changming waved his hands helplessly, and finally he understood the seriousness of the problem.

After he left, Tong Changming collected the dollars and gold bars on the table. These things must be put away properly and must not be found by anyone.

Otherwise he would be interrogated in his own torture chamber immediately.

After putting it away, Tong Changming was suddenly stunned.

It is true that this is his brother's money, but it is the proceeds from the sale of his property. Now he has to help his brother keep it, and he feels an indescribable feeling in his heart.

My younger brother was sold, isn't he the same?
After being sold, you also have to help keep the money you earn from selling your body.

Shaking his head, he kept the money, including the thirty gold bars given to him.

This money is very important and it concerns his future life and death. He cannot stay in the Party Affairs Investigation Office forever, and he must find a suitable retreat for himself in the future.

However, he cannot move within half a year. He must at least wait until the Military Intelligence Department relaxes its guard against him before he can slowly do these things.

"Director, we have captured Tong Changming."

After returning to the Military Intelligence Department, Xu Zhanjie came to the office and reported the good news with a smile.

"Okay, very good, well done."

The director laughed out loud. Old Ghost Xu had instigated his deputy chief of the inspection department to defect. He pulled over the other party's deputy chief of the interrogation department, which was equivalent to giving Old Ghost Xu a slap in the face.

"This time it's all thanks to Xu Qingyun. His subordinate Fang Laibao is also very good. He was the one who carried out the specific operations."

Xu Zhanjie took the opportunity to ask for credit for Xu Qingyun and Fang Laibao. As for his contribution, he had already remembered it in the director's mind.

"Haha, they are good, and you are good too, you have a good student."

The director was even happier, as good things had happened a lot recently. Not only had they bribed a high-level spy in the Party Affairs Investigation Office, but most importantly, they were about to deal with Xu Laogui and make him feel sick and uncomfortable.

This was also done by Xu Qingyun.

"I would like to thank you for your praise on behalf of that disappointing student."

Xu Zhanjie took advantage of the situation and acted like a good boy. He said that he was not ambitious, but his face was full of pride. The director laughed at his look.

"Now that Tong Changming has been arrested, ask him immediately what secret actions the Party Affairs Investigation Office has taken recently."

The director instructed that Tong Changming was not an ordinary person, he knew a lot of secrets, especially when arresting people for interrogation, he could not avoid their interrogation department. He should learn more about the Party Affairs Investigation Department, not to target them, but at least to know what they did.

For example, this time, when they knew they had caught someone, they immediately came up with the best plan to deal with it, turning Xu Laogui's merit into a fault.

This kind of thing makes him happiest.

"Yes, I will let Fang Laibao contact him. Director, what code name do you think should be given to him?"

Xu Zhanjie lowered his head slightly. He had promised Xu Qingyun that after the bribery was successful, he would let him contact Tong Changming.

Fang Laibao is Xu Qingyun's deputy, and he is the one who is in charge of the entire rebellion this time. Either Xu Qingyun or Fang Laibao can contact Tong Changming.

After Tong Changming was successfully bribed, they could no longer call him by his name in the Military Intelligence Department to avoid being noticed, so it was most appropriate to give him a code name.

We only know the code name, but we don't know who it is.

"This time it was done by Fang Laibao. Let's call him Baoshan."

"Baoshan? What a good name! I'll inform Fang Laibao right away." Xu Zhanjie flattered again.

"Go."

The director waved his hand. Fang Laibao didn't know yet that he had been remembered by the director. Among so many deputy team leaders in the Military Intelligence Department, he was probably the one that impressed the director the most.

"Laibao, the director has issued an order that Tong Changming will be called Baoshan from now on. You are to contact him immediately and ask him to provide the latest internal intelligence of the Party Affairs Investigation Department."

Xu Zhanjie called Fang Laibao and asked him to carry out the mission.

"I humble my position and take orders."

Fang Laibao stood up and saluted. This was the order from the director, and the section chief was just conveying it.

The Virgo actually asked him to contact him. It seemed that the Virgo had already remembered him. This was something he had never dared to think about before.

Following the right person is indeed the most important thing.

"Before you go, report to your team leader."

Xu Zhanjie suddenly said that he did not call Xu Qingyun. Although it was an internal call, who knew what would happen over the telephone line.

Just let Fang Laibao report himself.

Anyway, after Fang Laibao finishes it, he will have to report to Xu Qingyun.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Fang Laibao took the order and quickly went to Xu Qingyun's office to report in detail.

"Well done, you'll soon have another bar on your shoulder."

Xu Qingyun smiled and nodded. Fang Laibao was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what he meant.

"Team Leader, I'm not in a hurry. I'll talk to you after you get promoted."

Fang Laibao hurriedly explained that his rank as captain was one bar, while that of a colonel was two bars. Xu Qingyun meant that he would be promoted to major soon.

He was really not in a hurry. The team leader was a captain and the deputy team leader was a major. What did this mean?
Those who don't know would think he wanted to usurp the throne.

He had never had such an idea, but he was worried that Xu Qingyun would think too much. In any department, subordinates who are higher in rank than oneself would probably be a thorn in the superior's heart.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You will definitely get promoted if you have the chance. I can't get promoted right away, so you should go first if you can."

Xu Qingyun shook his head. He understood what Fang Laibao was worried about, but he really didn't care about it. Fang Laibao was just worrying about nothing.

If you can upgrade, you must upgrade.

Fang Laibao has accumulated a lot of merits, and this time he was remembered by the director. Although what he did cannot be told to outsiders, this kind of merit is the greatest. It happened that they are now investigating a traitor case. Now that the case is completed, they can take this opportunity to help Fang Laibao get promoted.

"Yes, thank you, team leader."

Fang Laibao was deeply touched. There were not many people in the country who could support their subordinates to be promoted to higher-level leaders than themselves.

He was lucky to meet one.

However, even if he was promoted, he had no intention of competing for the position of team leader. He had always followed Xu Qingyun and knew best that the team leader was the soul of the entire Intelligence Group 4.

Even though he has made many contributions, they are all due to their team leader. Without their team leader's leadership, no one would have a share of these achievements.

"After the matter at Baoshan is over, you go to Dai Jieying's place. Yanming is out doing something, and she can't do it alone."

Xu Qingyun instructed that there was basically nothing going on with Tong Changming, and even if there was, he would contact him next.

He wanted to keep abreast of the situation of his comrades in the Party Affairs Investigation Office, and he could only do so through Tong Changming.

This is an opportunity. The order was issued by the director, and he can obtain the information openly.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Fang Laibao bent down and left. He was full of energy now. A soldier who did not want to be a general was not a good soldier. He had been promoted to captain for several years and naturally wanted to be promoted to colonel.

The transition from lieutenant to colonel is a hurdle in itself.

As for how high he could go, he didn't dare to think about it now. Even their director was only a colonel. If he went any higher, he would have no chance in their military intelligence department.

Unless they get promoted from department level to bureau level, there is no possibility.

Fang Laibao and Tong Changming met secretly and told him his code name and new mission.

Tong Changhai was not there. If he followed, he would probably fight with Fang Laibao.

At this time, the person Tong Changhai hated the most was Fang Laibao. He had never thought that someone could be so bad as to deliberately drag his elder brother into trouble.

He was deceived even more miserably and helped the bad guys to harm his own brother.

"The captured Red Party member is seriously injured. We cannot question him for at least three days, and we cannot torture him for seven days. We will have to see the situation after seven days. But I don't think he will confess. There are many Red Party members like him who are stubborn. We can't find his weakness, so there is nothing we can do."

Tong Changming said in a low voice that he understood what the Military Intelligence Department was concerned about, which was that they didn't want Xu Laogui to make any merit and cause trouble for him.

As long as it doesn't affect him, it doesn't matter.

"What else?" Fang Laibao asked.

"In addition to the Red Party, there is another thing recently. Old Ghost Xu asked the Inspection Department to conduct an internal audit. This happened every year before, but this year it was brought forward. I don't know the specific reason."

"What time was it before?"

"End of the year."

"What about the range?"

"All."

Both of them spoke quietly and concisely.

"While ensuring safety, we need to find out the cause."

After saying this, Fang Laibao left. They would not stay together for too long and had to avoid being seen by anyone.

Tong Changming watched him leave. Fang Laibao's words just now suddenly reduced his hatred a little.

He even specifically reminded him to do it under the premise of safety.

Although he knew that he was being used and was just a pawn, he was still a little touched that the other party was taking care of his safety.

Of course, only a little.

He knows his own value. The other party has worked hard to get him into the water, so it is impossible for them to give up on him easily.

This is good, at least he is safe in the short term.

"Team leader, I'm back."

It was already evening when Fang Laibao arrived at Xu Qingyun's house. When Xu Qingyun saw him, he realized that Tong Changming's work had been done.

"Done?"

"It's done."

The content is the same, but the tone and meaning are different.

"Come on, I'll take you to report to the section chief."

Xu Qingyun stood up and didn't let Fang Laibao say any more. He went directly to Xu Zhanjie. It didn't matter whether he found out earlier or later.

"Master's wife, is the teacher here?"

Xu Zhanjie's home is not far away, and the house he bought for Xu Qingyun is very close to his own home.

"Yes, I'm waiting for you. Come in."

Xu Zhanjie's wife stood up with a smile, Xu Qingyun bowed to her, and Fang Laibao immediately followed suit.

"Teacher, we are here."

When they entered the study, Xu Qingyun greeted them first. He had made a phone call before coming and Xu Zhanjie was waiting for them.

"Sit down and talk."

Xu Zhanjie asked the servant to make tea and sat down beside him.

"Laibao hasn't reported yet, so I specifically asked him to come over and talk together."

Xu Qingyun explained, and Fang Laibao nodded immediately: "Today I met Baoshan, and he told me that the Red Party member was seriously injured and is currently being held in their custody. He cannot be questioned within three days. If they want to torture him, it will take at least seven days, and they cannot use heavy torture. Now he is mainly recuperating, and it is very likely that we will not be able to get any useful information from him."

He couldn't even ask questions, which shows how badly this comrade was injured.

Not to mention three days, even in one day, as soon as he was found missing, it was very likely that the others had already run away. The Party Affairs Investigation Office knew that it would be difficult to gain any follow-up results.

Being detained in the Party Affairs Investigation Office proves that they don't take it that seriously.

Although the Party Affairs Investigation Office has a medical department, it has limited doctors and equipment, which is far inferior to that of a hospital.

If they really took it seriously, they would have sent him to the hospital for treatment earlier and would not have kept him there.

"Baoshan also said something. Old Ghost Xu asked the Supervision Department to review the entire Party Affairs Investigation Office, but he didn't know the reason. I have asked him to check it out."

"Audit?"

"Yes, they do it every year, but it's usually at the end of the year and the scope is not that large. This time it targets the entire department, including the sub-stations."

Fang Laibao replied immediately, Xu Zhanjie sat up straight and asked, why did Xu Laogui make such a fuss about conducting an internal audit?

If it is the end of the year, the routine review is normal, and their Military Intelligence Department also does it every year.

It's very unusual to do this in the middle of the year.

"This information is very important. Once you find out the cause, report it immediately."

Xu Zhanjie ordered that no matter what Xu Laogui's purpose was, they should find out clearly first. It would be best if they could disrupt him, but if they couldn't, at least they would know themselves and their enemy.

"I have arranged for Baoshan, but I didn't ask him to check it in a hurry. Safety is important."

"You did the right thing. Safety comes first. We spent a lot of money on him. If this matter is exposed, all the money will be wasted."

Xu Zhanjie agreed very much with Fang Laibao's approach. They did spend a lot this time. All his brothers and sisters contributed money, and with other expenses, the total amount was more than 10,000 yuan.

This money could be used to do a lot of things if it were put elsewhere.

He just turned an insider in the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

But the money was worth it. As long as Chu Zuo was happy, no matter how much money he had, it didn't matter. Chu Zuo knew best how much he hated Xu Laogui.

"Teacher, don't worry. We will pay attention next time."

Xu Qingyun responded first. Tong Changming had completely boarded the ship and proactively provided information. All the information would be rewarded to him according to its value. This time, he would be rewarded together after he found out the reason.
