Espionage codename: Shen Gongbao

Book lovers are hotly debating: What exactly happened? Join the discussion!

Director's Office.

Ding Mocun lay on the sofa, pretending to doze off.

I spent half the night with Zheng Pingping last night, and then Shen Yue took my load of food early this morning. My mind is completely blank right now, and I'm really struggling to keep up.

I'm getting old; I can't keep up with the younger generation.

It's a pity Xue Sen is still in jail. That kid has a lot of tricks up his sleeve; who knows what kind of old medicine he might be able to get for him.

"My charming Pingping!"

He recalled Zheng Pingping's voluptuous, snow-white body in his mind, and a lingering, lewd smile appeared on his lips.

"Knock knock".

"director."

Mao Ziming knocked on the door from outside.

"Come in," Ding Mocun replied lazily.

Mao Ziming walked in with the documents in hand, his face beaming with joy: "Director, good news! Captain Okamura has rejected the report on Wu Kaixian's case submitted by Li Shiqun."

They said your signature is required.

"That's bullshit good news," Ding Mocun glared at him and said irritably.

It was obvious that Li Shiqun had come to test him.

He knew that Ye Jiqing had leaked intelligence, and as long as he reported it and insisted that Wang Xuesen fired the gun and colluded with the enemy, he could drag Ye Jiqing down with him.

It was indeed a golden opportunity, but the price was high.

Firstly, dragging the leaf into the water might not necessarily kill Li Shiqun; there are too many variables.

Secondly, he also hoped that Wang Xuesen would get involved in pharmaceuticals, chambers of commerce, and making money.

Thirdly, Li and Ye are a loving couple. If Li really kills Ye Jiqing, Li Shiqun will definitely fight him to the death.

Ding Mocun's inner desires are very simple.

He solidified his power at No. 76.

He embezzled money, indulged in women, wore designer clothes, and prioritized appearances and pleasure above all else.

After all, with a monthly salary of only a few hundred yuan, only a fool like Li Shiqun would risk his life.

This is why he hesitated even though he had a great hand.

"director."

"Wang Xuesen fired his gun and colluded with the enemy. As long as we keep pressing this issue, the Japanese will target Wu Sibao."

"It just so happens that we're planning to build a four-hall system."

"Taking this opportunity to bring down Wu Sibao and seize control of the Guard Corps would be entirely beneficial."

Mao Ziming said urgently.

He was indeed loyal to Ding Mocun, but he hoped to use this opportunity to kill Wang Xuesen.

There's always that one person in this world whom you can inexplicably dislike or hate at first glance.

Wang Xuesen is more handsome than him.

She has a better family background than him.

His wife is also more attractive and richer than his wife.

Not to mention that Wang Xuesen cracked his skull open on their very first meeting.

Mao Ziming will not have peace of mind for the rest of his life if he does not kill this guy.

"Wu Sibao isn't so easy to bring down. Besides, do you have any evidence that Wang Xuesen is a traitor?" Ding Mocun said lazily with his eyes closed.

"Chief, why did the military police turn back? Isn't it because they think there's something wrong with this?"

"If we don't act now, when will we?"

Mao Ziming continued to instigate the matter.

Ding Mocun opened his eyes and patiently explained, "Ziming, this matter needs to be considered carefully. Li Shiqun is not someone to be trifled with; moving one hair could affect the whole situation."

"Director, this is an opportunity we must seize."

"If we wait any longer, it'll be too late."

"How will you know you can't hurt them if you don't throw that punch?"

"If it's inconvenient for you, I'll do it!"

Mao Ziming's eyes hardened, and he volunteered.

As long as Wang Xuesen can be killed, Li Shiqun and Wu Sibao are nothing.

"You think you're so great, huh!"

Ding Mocun, enraged, slammed his fist on the table and stood up, pointing at Mao Ziming's nose and cursing loudly:

"Who do you think you are, daring to point fingers at me!"

"Without me, you would have been just an ordinary teacher at Mingguang Middle School. Would you have achieved your current status and prosperity?"

"Get out!"

"Director, you, you... sigh, honest advice is hard to swallow." Mao Ziming was thoroughly scolded and could only shake his head and leave in resentment.

You bastard!

They don't understand anything.

What I want doesn't require fighting and killing.

If I kill Wang Xuesen, will you pay for my shopping?

……

Outside the family dormitory building.

Li Shiqun was playing with his daughter Yunxiang, while Ye Jiqing stood aside, looking sullen.

She knew how big of a mess she had made.

No. 76 was under the dual leadership of the Mei Agency and the Military Police.

Qingqi Qingyin is one of our own, so it's easy to talk to him.

Now that the military police have returned the case to Ding Mocun, if Ding refuses to close the case and secretly hypes up the Wu Kaixian case again, things will get complicated.

"Shiqun, will everything be alright?" Ye Jiqing asked with a worried expression.

"Even if the sky falls, I'll still be there for you."

"Ding Mocun has the desire to steal but not the courage; he's all talk and no action, nothing to worry about," Li Shiqun said softly, holding her hand and kissing it.

"Yes, with you here, I'm not afraid." Ye Jiqing looked into his calm and gentle eyes and felt much more at ease.

"director."

"Ding Mocun said he would consider the documents. Oh, he said there are some documents that you need to sign."

Ying Ying walked over and handed over the blueprint document.

Li Shiqun opened it, glanced at it, and handed it to Ye Jiqing.

After reading it, Ye Jiqing frowned and said, "His ambition is too great. He wants to take back Guangming Daily and also wants 20,000 yuan for the newspaper's expansion."

"Especially this four-hall system, isn't that basically starting from scratch?"

"Isn't this blatant extortion, blackmail, and coercion?"

"Give it all to him. It's all just a transaction." Li Shiqun signed his name without even blinking.

"Your safety is the most important thing."

"Cao Zibai, the editor-in-chief of Guangming Daily, and his son were never one of us."

"Ding Mocun just wants money to build a four-hall system."

"I will grant his wish."

Li Shiqun casually handed the document back to Ying Ying.

"But he recruited Wang Tianmu and established the four-department system, so your position at No. 76 is no longer effective."

"It's all my fault. One wrong step led to another."

"It hurt you..."

Ye Jiqing's eyes reddened, filled with self-reproach.

"Okay, okay."

"Given Ding Mocun's narrow-mindedness, no one can stay with him for long."

"Take the child back."

"I need to go pick up Wang Xuesen to show my sincerity."

Li Shiqun tightened his grip on her fragrant shoulder and smiled.

……

night.

New Asia Hotel.

Ding, Li, and their colleagues from No. 76 held a welcome dinner for Wang Xuesen.

The guests mingled and drank, and the party didn't end until very late.

Lin Zhijiang helped the heavily intoxicated Wang Xuesen into the car.

The car drove slowly along the brightly lit street.

Wang Xuesen, who had just been drunk, suddenly opened his eyes: "Old Lin, how's the investigation into the supplies going? With Ji Yunqing dead, those supplies weren't lost, were they?"

Lin Zhijiang laughed and said, "Don't worry. Old Wang has already found out. That old scoundrel Ji is very cunning; he hid the goods at Pier No. 3."

"However, that area is now the territory of Niu Jinfa, Ji Yunqing's apprentice."

"He was Wu Sibao's sworn brother, and he had about a hundred men under his command, as well as a lot of homemade guns."

"Old Wang means to organize a team to rush in."

"That's too reckless. If a gunshot is fired, the police will all come, and the goods will be cleared out." Wang Xuesen was speechless at Wang Tianmu's words. These people only know how to risk their lives, don't they?

"Old Wang was also eager to make a name for himself."

"Thank goodness you're out. Now we have someone to rely on again."

"We didn't visit you while you were in jail, fearing that Li Shih-Chun would become suspicious."

Lin Zhijiang smiled apologetically.

"Before, Lao Wang and I were quite worried about you, thinking that someone might make a mountain out of a molehill."

"Now it seems completely unnecessary. Two directors protecting you, it seems you had this planned all along."

He glanced at Wang Xuesen, his eyes filled with admiration and hope for life and the future.

This world is not lacking in fierce warriors like Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

What we lack is a Zhuge Liang who can take charge of the overall situation and make sound decisions.

It was obvious that Wang Xuesen was the person he and Wang Tianmu were looking for.

"Is Mengyun Dance Hall Zhang Xiaolin's territory?" Wang Xuesen lit a cigarette, took a puff, and handed it to him.

Lin Zhijiang gratefully accepted it, biting his lip and saying, "Yes."

"I remember that Ji Yunqing and Zhang Xiaolin, a tycoon from the Green Gang, had a very tense falling out behind the scenes over the position of president of the New Asia Peace Promotion Association, right?" Wang Xuesen knew a little about the Green Gang, but not much.

"It's more than just stiff."

"Both sides have been secretly fighting with knives and guns on the border of the concessions."

"Zhang Xiaolin was trained by Ji Laogou, but this guy surrendered early and directly clung to Mei Agency and the Military Police."

"As for Ji Yunqing, she is backed by Li Shiqun."

"The Japanese are so powerful. Look, Zhang Xiaolin has outmaneuvered Ji Laogou. Ji Yunqing heard he had a stroke and didn't get the chairmanship. He was even provoked by Zhang Xiaolin at the birthday banquet."

"Although these two were sworn brothers before, they both worked for the Japanese."

"But privately, Ji Laogou couldn't swallow this insult and fought over the concession's territory and business, making them sworn enemies."

"What, you've got an idea?"

Lin Zhijiang's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Wang Xuesen's idea.

"You'll have to make a trip tomorrow and find out everything about the top hostesses, the pretty women, and the bouncers at Mengyun Dance Hall. Be quick and thorough," Wang Xuesen instructed.

"Okay." Lin Zhijiang accepted the order.
