The charm of spy wars lies in the tricks of life

Chapter 233 You Have Such a Daring Heart
Zhou Lisheng ignored everyone and strode forward with his back straight.

Chen Cha opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Xiang Ning followed behind, her face filled with panic.

Go directly to the office.

The clerk had already brewed tea for Zhou Lisheng.

Chen Cha and Xiang Ning stood awkwardly to one side, Xiang Ning's face was deathly pale.

He himself has really run into a big problem.

The issue wasn't about transferring Wei Xiong, but rather that the two Red Party members he had interrogated had disappeared.

They were rescued without a trace, without any warning.

Someone stole my chicken.

Zhou Lisheng looked at Chen Cha, then at Xiang Ning: "Xiang Ning, is something the matter?"

Xiang Ning's face trembled slightly, and she said with a forced smile, "Director, punish me."

I made a mistake.

Zhou Lisheng's face was grim: "What did you do wrong?"

Xiang Ning bowed respectfully: "He has neglected his post and has been listening to and believing in unfounded rumors."

"We shouldn't have listened to Director Shen and moved Wei Xiong to the safe house."

"The safe house was robbed, and Wei Xiong disappeared."

"Because of Wei Xiong's transfer, two Red Party members were quietly rescued."

"Completely wrong."

"Please, kill me."

Zhou Lisheng's face was cold, and he remained silent.

The room fell silent.

"Okay, okay."

"Our statistics bureau is in charge of intelligence work. We didn't understand intelligence work, but instead, others understood our statistics bureau."

"That's really great."

"We have not yet gone to war with the Japanese Special Higher Police."

"Wei Xiong is missing, Wen Xiansi is dead, and the two Red Army members we just captured have been taken away without a trace."

"Everyone in our statistics bureau has lost face."

"You think you'll gain a good reputation by sacrificing something for that pathetic sense of loyalty?"

"The higher-ups will soon find out everything."

"What right do I, Zhou Lisheng, have to speak? What face do I have to meet Boss Dai?"

"There are plenty of informants in the bureau."

"You two conspired with Shen Liushu to do these things, do you think that's great?"

"Is it because you've always followed me, or because everyone else is a fool?" The voice was cold, each word sharp and grating.

Chen Cha and Xiang Ning looked ashamed, their backs covered in cold sweat.

The two looked down at the ground, like children who had done something wrong.

"Xiang Ning, your mistakes were lying about military intelligence and blindly trusting Shen Liushu."

"You have such audacity."

"Not only did they work together to rescue Wei Xiong, a suspected Japanese spy, but they also lied to me."

"Two more Red Party members have been lost."

"You really are a good, honest subordinate of mine, Zhou Lisheng."

Xiang Ning knelt down with a "plop": "Director, I'm sorry."

“Wei Xiong is definitely not a Japanese spy, I’ll risk my life for him…”

"Bang." Zhou Lisheng gritted his teeth and slammed his hand on the table, interrupting Xiang Ning: "Absolutely not, based on your bullshit intuition."

"All the knowledge you've gained over the years has gone to waste."

"You're risking your life."

"You feel like your head is still on your neck, right?"

"The mistake you made is enough for me to kill you right now."

Tang Jia and Qin Jing, who were standing outside the office door, changed their expressions, unsure whether they should go in.

What happened at the bureau today was too sudden.

Tang Jia frowned and knocked on the door with her delicate fingers: "Bang, bang."

"Go in." A cold, stern voice rang out.

Tang Jia strode along, Qin Jing following closely behind, and the two entered the office one after the other.

Chen Cha stood respectfully to one side, while Xiang Ning knelt beside him.

Just as others had said, Xiang Ning often knelt before Zhou Lisheng.

With her kneeling posture perfect, Xiang Ning had mastered the art of kneeling to a high degree.

Zhou Lisheng sipped his tea and glanced coldly at Tang Jia and Qin Jing.

Tang Jiajiao stepped forward and said, "Director, based on the liaison officer's confession, we wiped out a Japanese special agent squad this morning."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lisheng's expression softened slightly: "I called you and Qin Jing here to discuss how to deal with Shen Liushu."

"You all need to make a decision."

"Our superiors always need us to report. "The head of the intelligence department of the statistics bureau died; he was killed by the head of the general affairs department."

"Please give me some suggestions."

Tang Jia tensed up when she heard that the head of the intelligence department of the Statistics Bureau had died.

what?
Wen Xiansi is dead!
Didn't Shen Liushu say he was just trying to get Wen Xiansi out of the way?

How did they kill them?

Absolutely audacious! Completely disregarding the consequences!
Shen Liushu is becoming increasingly unpredictable.

Qin Jing remained calm, but in his heart, he admired Miao Yu even more.

He believed that Shen Liushu would not kill Wen Xiansi.

Shen Liushu is someone I can't understand, so I think he's dangerous.

If one day anyone in the bureau could put him to death, it would definitely be Shen Liushu.

The more unfathomable a person is, the more dangerous they are.

Miao Yu's phoenix eyes, which see through all illusions, are indeed formidable.

From beginning to end, she firmly believed that Shen Liushu would kill Wen Xiansi.

The room was silent; no one spoke.

This isn't a large meeting; it's a small one.

Tang Jia and Qin Jing understood that by holding a small meeting, the director meant to downplay the issue and resolve it internally.

If it were a large meeting, Shen Liushu might not only face suspension, but also lose his job.

However, the smaller the meeting, the more cautious you need to be, because you don't know how much the director is willing to tolerate.

Should we punish Shen Liushu? Should the punishment be severe or lenient?
Or a pardon?

The two pondered their leader's thoughts, not daring to speak up and probe.

Zhou Lisheng took a sip of tea, his face cold: "Shen Liushu not only killed Wen Xiansi."

"Using this incident, we also took advantage of Xiang Ning to rescue the suspect, Wei Xiong."

"You guys tell me."

Upon hearing the phrase, "Use Xiang Ning to rescue the suspect Wei Xiong,"...

The two understood that Xiang Ning's kneeling had worked.

The bureau chief clearly doesn't want to publicly pursue Xiang Ning's major responsibilities.

Xiang Ning could not have been manipulated.

It must have been planned by Shen Liushu and Xiang Ning together.

Since Xiang Ning is not being pursued, it's likely that Shen Liushu will also be spared execution.

Qin Jing's expression was solemn: "Director, as the head of the General Affairs Department, Director Shen has done his job without making any mistakes over the years."

"Although Wen Xiansi was murdered, considering his contributions, we will not take his life. How about imprisoning him for a few years?"

Tang Jia frowned and stepped forward: "Director, regarding the matter of Section Chief Shen..."

Everyone knows that he has never made a mistake in the General Affairs Department for many years.

"His abilities are truly exceptional; he is a talent in general affairs and logistics."

Is there something fishy about Director Shen's murder of Director Wen? Is there some inside story we don't know about?

"Moreover, the tasks assigned to me by the bureau chief also require the help of Director Shen."

"I think it's best to make a decision on this matter after consulting Director Shen in detail."

"As for the rescue of suspect Wei Xiong, this matter also needs to be fully clarified."

"We cannot make such a hasty decision."

"After all, it concerns the head of the General Affairs Department of the Statistics Bureau, and it can even be said to concern the face of the entire Statistics Bureau."

Qin Jing's expression was cold: "Director, I agree with what Section Chief Tang said."

"I made the decision a bit hastily just now."

"They were only thinking about reporting to their superiors and didn't consider the bigger picture."

Report to your superiors.

Yes? How do we explain this?

Zhou Lisheng's face was extremely ugly.

The fact that the superiors haven't called to inquire doesn't mean they don't know.

With so many things happening at the Statistics Bureau in one day, what will his superiors think of Zhou Lisheng?

inability!

Incompetent!

Due to poor management of his subordinates, he was led around by the nose by the Japanese enemy.

The defeat is inevitable!

How many rumors and harsh words must have been circulating there?

Some might even take the opportunity to point their crossbows at Boss Dai.

What exactly is Zhou Lisheng up to? What is he doing?
Zhou Lisheng felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his heart, and his face was extremely pale.

The pressure comes not only from what the Japanese Special Higher Police have to do.
It also comes down to how much trust one's superiors have in them.
The Japanese played a brilliant move that time!

However, Zhou Lisheng firmly believes in Boss Dai!

Those ever-smiling faces are supported by a heart as vast as the sea and wisdom.
