Spy wars start with lurking Secretary Hong

Chapter 487: Rape
Hong Zhi was very curious: "Talking about women?"

Ma Wendong smiled and nodded, leaning back in his chair, his posture much more relaxed: "Yes."

"I've heard of Section Chief Hong's reputation. In Harbin, you're a well-known heartthrob."

He interlaced his fingers and looked at Hong Zhiyou with an inquisitive gaze.

"I believe that a woman's attraction to a man should include more than just his money and looks."

"You know what I mean."

Hong Zhi pretended not to understand, touched his nose, and had a thoughtful expression on his face: "Director Ma, are you referring to talents? Like playing the piano?"

"Well, talent may not put food on the table, but it's still somewhat useful for those rich ladies who have nothing better to do than eat and drink."

"They love this kind of thing."

"you misunderstood."

Ma Wendong quickly waved his hand, his expression somewhat unnatural. He leaned closer and lowered his voice.

"That's not what I meant. I meant...that aspect."

Hong Zhiyou's face showed just the right amount of surprise, his eyes widening slightly: "You mean...?"

"no no!"

Ma Wendong immediately denied it, his smile somewhat stiff: "I love my wife very much, our relationship is very harmonious, and everything is in perfect harmony."

"I have a friend who is getting older and is a little less capable in matters of the heart."

"Since Hong Sang frequents flower gardens all year round, he must have his own unique way of maintaining health."

And then there's another friend of mine.

Hong Zhi sneered inwardly.

Isn't that friend of yours just like yourself?

waste!

He looked solemn with a sudden realization and nodded: "Indeed."

"However, it depends on the symptoms."

Is it fast, or is it fake?

"quick!"

Ma Wendong blurted it out almost immediately, then realized he had overreacted and quickly added, "My friend is fast."

"Hurry up..." Hong Zhiyou drawled, looking troubled, "Then it will be difficult to get ashore."

"The most effective way is to have surgery to remove part of the nerve layer, which may have an immediate effect."

As he spoke, he took a delicate little bottle out of his pocket and placed it on the table.

"This is deer antler powder, a highly nourishing substance that can enhance physical strength and make people less weak."

Upon hearing that he needed surgery, Ma Wendong's face turned pale.

He rubbed his hands together, looking somewhat embarrassed: "Isn't there...isn't there an easier way?"

“My friend is too old, surgery might not be the right thing for him.”

Hong Zhi thought for a moment, then wrote down another prescription and handed it over.

"This is a prescription for an anesthetic, for external use. Apply a little bit when you use it, but the amount must be very small, absolutely not too much."

"You can let him give it a try."

Ma Wendong was overjoyed, grabbing the prescription and deer antler powder in one go, his face beaming with undisguised delight.

"Okay, okay! I'll definitely tell my friend to try it! I'll ask him to give me feedback on the results later!"

"Director Ma, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now?" Hong Zhiyou stood up, preparing to take his leave.

"and many more."

Ma Wendong carefully put away the prescription, his smile instantly vanishing as he reverted to the dignified demeanor of the police chief.

He leaned back in his chair and said slowly, "Captain Yamazaki's clearing operation in the mountains is progressing very smoothly."

"Section Chief Hong, there are some things that need to be addressed urgently."

This was a warning to himself, urging him to hurry up with the gold mine matter... Hong Zhi nodded: "I understand, I will do it as soon as possible."

As soon as Hong Zhi left, Ma Wendong immediately picked up the phone and summoned his trusted confidant.

"Go to the hospital right now and get me some of this medicine. Remember, don't tell anyone!"

The subordinate accepted the order and left.

Ma Wendong leaned back in his chair, pondered for a moment, and then picked up another phone.

"Hello, is this Section Chief Qiu? Come to my office."

Soon, Old Qiu pushed open the door and entered, a fawning smile on his face: "Director, you wanted to see me?"

Ma Wendong pointed to the chair opposite him, gesturing for him to sit down, a warm smile on his face:
"Daqiang, Bai Qiming from the police department is getting old and in poor health. He's almost at retirement age."

"This position will probably go to Liu Zhenwen. Once he takes the position, the deputy director-general position will be vacant."

"I intend to recommend to my superiors that you be promoted to the new Deputy Commissioner of the Police Department."

Old Qiu's eyes widened instantly, and his breathing became rapid.

Deputy Director-General?
That's a position that puts you one step ahead of Gao Bin!
Ma Wendong raised his hand to quell the noise and continued:
"However, the higher-ups are quite hesitant between you and Gao Bin."

"Gao Bin is a senior and well-connected person, and he is also a capable individual."

"But I still think you're better off."

"I will do my best to recommend you to the council."

Old Qiu was so excited that he trembled all over and bowed respectfully:
"Director! You...you are my savior!"
"My life, Qiu Daqiang's life, belongs to you from now on! If you tell me to go east, I will never go west!"

Ma Wendong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can see anyone who is truly doing their job under my command."

"Do a good job and don't let me down."

"Yes! Yes! Your subordinate will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Old Qiu left, tears streaming down his face, his steps almost unsteady.

Seeing his smug and overconfident expression, Ma Wendong's smile instantly turned into a chilling coldness.

He just wanted to keep this dog in check so that it would be easier for Hong Zhiyou's people to make a move.

People only let their guard down when they are at their most triumphant.

……

Hong Zhi returned to the police station and went straight to Zhou Yi's office.

He didn't go in, but instead gave Zhou Yi, who was inside reading documents, an "OK" sign.

Zhou Yi raised his head, met his gaze, and nodded slightly without saying a word.

Hong Zhi turned around, whistling as he leisurely walked away.

Tonight, we can get started.

……

night.

Ma Wendong's official residence.

After taking a shower, Ma Wendong dismissed everyone and, alone in the bathroom, nervously and expectantly applied a little of the newly acquired anesthetic.

However, the result was terrible.

It is devastating.

He discovered that this thing was truly numbing, completely numbing him.

Forget about regaining its former glory, it has even lost its most basic senses.

Frustrated, Ma Wendong slammed his fist against the wall.

On the bed, Jia Huizi watched him struggle for so long, but the result was even worse than before. He didn't even have that pitiful amount of time to count on his fingers. A hint of disappointment flashed deep in her eyes.

……

The secret residence in Nangang.

After making love to Li Hong in his arms, Lao Qiu was smoking a cigarette with a smug satisfaction.

He shared the news that he might be appointed as the deputy director of the police department with Li Hong as if it were the best news ever.

"My God! The deputy director-general?"

She wrapped her arms around Lao Qiu's neck and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

“That’s great! If you really become the deputy director, then you’ll become Gao Bin’s boss, and I’ll become the director’s wife.”

"That's right!"

Old Qiu smugly exhaled a smoke ring and patted Li Hong's plump body.

“We’ve been Gao Bin’s dogs for so many years, it’s time for us to turn the tables and become his masters!”

"Then let's see if he still dares to put on airs in front of me!"

"That's great! That's great!"

Li Hong was even more agitated than Lao Qiu; she clutched her chest, looking breathless.

"Oh dear, I... I'm so excited I can't breathe! It's so stuffy in here, I need to open the window to let some fresh air in!"

Old Qiu was lost in his beautiful fantasies about the future, completely unaware of anything else, and casually waved his hand.

Li Hong immediately got out of bed, walked barefoot to the window, and pulled open the heavy curtains.

She reached out and pushed open the window, and the cold night wind rushed in instantly.

While opening the window, she took the opportunity to gently lower a piece of white cloth that had been wrapped around the bottom of the curtain rod.

The white cloth fluttered silently in the night wind.

This was the signal she and Yutong had agreed upon.

As long as you see an open window and a white sheet.

You Tong would then lead Hong Zhi's arranged assassins to rush in and eliminate Lao Qiu.

Li Hong didn't care at all whether Lao Qiu was the head of the investigation section or the deputy director of the police department.

He pressed the gun against his forehead.

From the moment he influenced her to find men for pleasure and to make money from her business.

Their relationship ended.

All that remains is an endless, irreconcilable hatred.

Downstairs, in a corner of the alley.

Old Wei was dressed in an inconspicuous coarse cloth outfit, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth, his eyes as cold as ice, staring intently at the second-floor window.

The window is open.

A piece of white cloth hung down from the windowsill, swaying gently in the night breeze.

Old Wei spat his cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it out with his toe, and waved to the people behind him.

Several dark figures followed him silently, skillfully circling around to the back door.

Li Hong left the door ajar, not locked.

The group filed in, their steps as light as cats.

Once upstairs, Old Wei stood at the bedroom door and, without hesitation, kicked it hard!
"boom!"

The door was kicked open and slammed against the wall with a loud bang.

Old Qiu, lying on the bed, was terrified by the noise. He sat up abruptly and shouted in horror, "Who's there!"

Old Wei walked into the house step by step, the muzzle of his gun steadily pointed at him, his voice devoid of any warmth: "The one who wants your life, you dog traitor."

Old Qiu felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the murderous glint in his eyes. The anti-traitor squad!
Only those three words remained in his mind.

With a thud, he rolled off the bed, scrambled to his knees, raised his hands, and cried out in a trembling voice, "Don't...don't kill me!"
"Brother, hero, I was wrong. I'll give you the money. I'll give you all my money!"

"I'll do anything as long as you let me go."

Old Wei's gaze remained unwavering.

Snapped!
Snapped!
The sound of a gun with a silencer is very muffled.

Old Qiu fell heavily backward, his eyes wide with disbelief, before collapsing into a pool of blood.

After dealing with Lao Qiu, Lao Wei slowly turned his gun and aimed it at Li Hong, who was trembling on the bed.

Li Hong turned pale with fright and hurriedly raised her hand, saying in a trembling voice, "I'm one of us!"

"It's me! I'm the one who had You Tong contact Section Chief Hong. I'm the one who called you here!"
"Good sir, he's one of us."

Old Wei looked at her coldly: "That's right, we used to be on the same side."

"Unfortunately, you have chosen to degenerate and become traitors."

"You chose this dead end yourselves."

Li Hong stared in disbelief, her mind blank: "You...you guys are really the Red Ticket Anti-Traitor Squad!"

A mocking smirk appeared on Old Wei's lips: "What do you think?"
"Traitors should be punished by everyone."

Snapped.

There was another gunshot.

Li Hong's body went limp and she collapsed.

Old Wei walked to the window, ripped off the white cloth, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and lightly made a cut on his fingertip.

He used his oozing blood to write four crooked characters on the white cloth.

Traitors must be punished!

……

The next day.

The house in Nangang has been completely surrounded by police officers.

Gao Bin and Zhou Yi's group entered the bedroom, which reeked of blood.

Looking at the elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Qiu, who had died tragically on the spot, Gao Bin fanned his nose with his white gloves and asked:
"what's the situation."

Lu Ming bowed and reported: "Section Chief, the forensic doctor's preliminary judgment is that the time of death was around 10 p.m. last night, and the victims were shot by someone who broke into the house."

"Judging from the simple and crude methods used on the scene, it seems to be the work of the Red Ticket Anti-Traitor Team."

"Look at this."

He presented a white cloth with words written in blood.

Gao Bin glanced at it and raised an eyebrow: "Since it's confirmed that the anti-traitor squad did it, then let's collect the body."

He turned to Zhou Yi and instructed him, "Captain Zhou, write up a detailed report later and give it directly to Director Ma."

"Yes," Zhou Yi replied.

The group talked as they walked downstairs.

Gao Bin's mood visibly improved, and he gave a cold laugh with a sigh: "What do you call this? What goes around comes around."

"I think we should be careful too."

Zhou Yi calmly echoed, "Yes, Hongpiao hates Lao Qiu much more than he hates us."

"However, perhaps we will be the next target."

Gao Bin nodded as he walked, deeply agreeing: "That's right."

"The Red Ticket Bureau has its assassination squads, and the Military Intelligence Bureau has its Iron-Blooded Youth Corps. They bomb and shoot in the back every day, making it impossible to defend against them."

"We're in the open, while they're in the shadows. It's not easy to deal with them."

That's what he said, but anyone could see the barely suppressed smile on his lips.

With Lao Qiu, this major threat, dead, Zhiyou's side will be much more relaxed.

Gao Bin then remembered something else and asked, "Didn't Lao Qiu arrest a high-ranking official with a red ticket? Where is he?"

Lu Ming immediately replied, "Reporting to the director, it is said that Chen Jingyu took it away, saying that the Security Bureau wants to handle it personally."

Gao Bin cursed, "Those bastards from the Security Bureau, they really want to steal all the credit!"

"Fine, let's just leave it at that. The rest is none of our police department's business."

He looked at Zhou Yi: "Captain Zhou, don't you think so?"

Zhou Yi quickly replied, "The director is right."

"These are turbulent times, and the fewer things that happen, the better."

Got in the car.

Gao Bin asked, feigning concern, "How has Qiu Yan been lately?"

Zhou Yi replied, "I'm fine, I can eat and sleep well."

"I also made an appointment with Zhiyou this morning, saying that I asked him to come with me to pick out some new clothes, because I said that Zhiyou has good taste and good eyesight."

Lu Ming, who was driving, listened in the front and couldn't help but cough.

Gao Bin sighed inwardly.

Picking out clothes?
I'm afraid they've gone to find a place to sleep.

Zhiyou is really getting more and more unpredictable.

He earnestly reminded her, "Captain Zhou, at this stage of the month, it's best to let Qiu Yan rest at home."

"Try not to go out if you can avoid it. It's freezing cold, and if you slip and fall, it could cause problems for the baby."

Zhou Yi's face showed a helpless expression: "I tried to persuade him, but he wouldn't listen."

"However, Zhiyou is not an outsider. He is reliable and steady in his work, so I feel at ease with him around."

Gao Bin put on a stern face: "I can't just relax! You have to take good care of your own wife!"
"When I get back, I'll give that kid a good warning and tell him to stop dragging Qiu Yan out for no reason!"

Zhou Yi smiled and said nothing more.

Sigh, it seems I'll never be able to get rid of this hat on my head in this lifetime.

……

At this moment, Hong Zhiyou is shopping with Gu Qiuyan.

Gu Qiuyan, her belly protruding, glanced absently at the fabrics on the shelf and asked in a low voice, "Zhou Yi said you could get your hands on a radio?"

The last time she encountered danger in the mountains, it was Hong Zhiyou who asked someone to rescue her.

She knew very well that her and Zhou Yi's identities were no secret to Section Chief Hong.

Hong Zhiyou fiddled with a lighter in his hand and said casually, "Well, as long as the money is right, I can handle most things."

Gu Qiuyan's eyes lit up: "Can you hurry up? I heard that there's going to be another big search in Zhuhe, and I urgently need to maintain contact with the mountains via radio."

"It won't be quick."

Hong Zhi poured cold water on her directly.

"This thing isn't something you can just throw away. Some of the main components have to be purchased from the Japanese, and after we buy them, we need to find professionals to assemble and debug them. It's not something you can just give away like that."

"At the fastest, it will take at least half a month."

Gu Qiuyan was somewhat disappointed: "Okay."

She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Then... could you please help me get someone else out of trouble?"

Hong Zhi became interested: "Who are you going to rescue?"

Gu Qiuyan said, "His name is Zhang Pingjun. He and his girlfriend were sentenced by the court and they were said to be imprisoned for three years."

She added, "Money is not a problem; I can find a way to provide as much as you need."

Hong Zhiyou gave a cold laugh.

He looked at Gu Qiuyan's hopeful face and shattered her illusions.

"This is not about money."

"Zhang Pingjun and his girlfriend were secretly executed long ago in accordance with the severe wartime punishment."

Unlike Zhou Yi, he didn't have to consider her feelings in everything he did.

The deaths of Zhang Pingjun and his girlfriend were entirely caused by Gu Qiuyan; there's no need to indulge her.

Gu Qiuyan covered her mouth, her whole body stiffening.

"But...but Zhou Yi said..."

Before she finished speaking, she understood everything.

Instantly, tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

……

Hong Zhi took the dejected Gu Qiuyan home.

He didn't linger and drove straight to Ma Wendong's office.

This time, he brought with him the gold mine contract left behind by Commander Guan.

Ma Wendong had no interest in the thankless task of suppressing bandits and readily agreed to suspend the Yamazaki Brigade's clearing operations in the mountains.

"Hong Sang, from now on we are partners."

"Your share, no matter how large the gold mine becomes in the future, I will give you every single penny of it."

"I hope we can be friends, not just partners."

"At least when it comes to women and doing business, we have a lot to talk about."

Ma Wendong carefully put away the contract and smiled faintly.

Hong Zhiyou deeply agreed with this point; they were not only kindred spirits but also close friends.

“Of course, we are friends,” Hong Zhiyou said.

"By the way, my friend said he felt too numb last night. Is there any special way to fix it?" Ma Wendong asked with a shrug.

"Diluting it with water and reducing the dosage might help." Hong Zhiyou knew that this stupid Japanese devil was too eager for quick results and would definitely get numb.

"Thank you."

Ma Wendong bowed politely in thanks, then changed the subject and said:
"correct.

"You have to get that woman named Xu Yunying to disband her bandit forces. This is also Commander Ueda Kenkichi's request."

"Furthermore, to show your sincerity, you'd better bring her to Harbin and keep her by your side."

"I don't want to put you in a difficult position, and I hope you won't put me in a difficult position either."

“Of course, I will get her down the mountain as soon as possible,” Hong Zhiyou readily agreed.

As soon as he returned to his office after leaving the police station, he bumped into Gong Qingshan, the secretary of Deputy Director Liu Zhenwen.

"Section Chief Hong, Deputy Director Liu requests your presence in his office."

Hong Zhi had a sudden thought. Liu Zhenwen rarely talked to him, but he had never been shortchanged on business gifts.

During this period, while he was fighting against Shibuya Saburo and Ma Wendong at the police station, Liu Zhenwen was secretly watching the show.

Of course, the old man clearly had a pessimistic view of himself.

Otherwise, during the peak of his power after getting rid of Shibuya Saburo, Shibuya Saburo should have already spoken to him about dating his daughter.

As he pondered this, he walked into Liu Zhenwen's office.
