Chapter Seventy-One: Things Are Not Going Well
The moment Tang Cheng was called out of the duty room, he had already guessed that something might be a big deal, especially when he learned that Secretary Yao had come downstairs to check with him, Tang Cheng actually couldn't help but be timid, and he finally realized that the development of things might have been out of his control. At this moment, seeing Secretary Yao's back disappear at the turn of the stairs, Tang Cheng suddenly felt that the wind in the corridor seemed to be blowing, and there was a chill in the cracks of people's bones.
Secretary Yao went upstairs and didn't come down again, Tang Cheng and Zhou Hongxiang were anxious waiting in the duty room, but they couldn't show it on their faces, so they had to wrap their coats tightly and sit together with their eyes closed and napped. The two idle people fell asleep groggy, and they didn't know how long they had been asleep, anyway, when they were woken up by Zhang Jianghe, it was still dark outside. "Let's go, let's go home!" Zhang Jianghe's demeanor was relaxed, but Tang Cheng saw disappointment and determination in Zhang Jianghe's eyes.
It seems that this is not recognized by the above! The disappointment in Zhang Jianghe's eyes, Tang Cheng could understand, but what did that fleeting decision mean? On the way back to the Zhang family's old house, Zhang Jianghe, who had dark circles under his eyes, was silent in the back seat of the car, and Tang Cheng and Zhou Hongxiang had to pretend that they were mud tires in the temple all the way, and they were also silent with their noses and mouths. Finally returned to the Zhang family's old house, Tang Cheng wanted to say something about Coke to relax the atmosphere, but Zhang Jianghe still went back to the room without saying a word.
Tang Cheng was a little worried about Zhang Jianghe, but he also knew that this was not a good time to talk about that matter, and everything would have to wait for Zhang Jianghe to stop digging into the horns before he could bring it up and mention it again. The night was deep, but Tang Cheng was tossing and turning in bed and couldn't sleep, looking at Zhang Jianghe's expression and reaction, the discussion with the bigwigs of the intelligence department must not go well, even if there is the support of the director, not everything can be done.
Tang Cheng almost didn't sleep all night, and so did Zhang Jianghe, who was in a depressed mood, and when he got up the next morning, Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe all had dark circles under their eyes. Zhou Hongxiang secretly held back a smile, and Tang Cheng and the two looked at each other blankly and were speechless, so they could only lower their heads and use food to vent their dissatisfaction in their hearts. "Ah, it's snowing!" Halfway through breakfast, Zhou Hongxiang suddenly pointed out the window and exclaimed, Tang Cheng looked up and saw that there were already snowflakes floating outside the window. Tang Cheng couldn't remember that this was the first time it had snowed in the lunar month, and instead of making Tang Cheng's mood heavier, the sudden snowfall made Tang Cheng feel much more relaxed.
"Uncle, I'll go out and come back before lunch!" It took twice as long for a breakfast as before, but Tang Cheng's mood was inexplicably better. Secretly confessed that Zhou Hongxiang looked at Zhang Jianghe, Tang Cheng left the old mansion of the Zhang family, and went straight to the headquarters compound of the Intelligence Department. On snowy days, there are not many pedestrians on the streets, but the compound of the intelligence department is very lively, especially the place where prisoners are held in the backyard. When Tang Cheng found Cao Wanchun, Cao Wanchun, who had not closed his eyes all night, was staring at a pair of bloodshot eyes, looking through a stack of interrogation records.
"Uncle Cao, you were upstairs last night, what the hell is going on, tell me about it!" Tang Cheng looked familiar, completely ignored the prying eyes of some people, and directly broke into the house where Cao Wanchun was staying. The arrival of Tang Cheng made Cao Wanchun's originally excited mood instantly turn bad, he was not qualified to participate in last night's incident, he was just called up to report the situation in the second half, but he didn't want to passively wade into the troubled water. Although Zhang Jianghe was missing an arm, he was still full of momentum when he slapped the table with someone last night, and Cao Wanchun asked himself if he had the guts.
"Xiao Wu, you live in Lao Zhang's house, why don't you ask him directly?" Cao Wanchun put down the interrogation record in his hand, took the cigarette handed by Tang Cheng with one hand, and stroked his brows with the other, rubbing his eyebrows. "Last night was an internal meeting, and the seat has been strictly ordered not to disclose the content of the meeting, otherwise the family law will serve. You Uncle Cao and I finally got to this point, you kid should be pitiful Uncle Cao and me, don't ask! You asked, and I can't tell you either! ”
Cao Wanchun's insistence surprised Tang Cheng very much, in his impression, Cao Wanchun is not a guy who can keep secrets! Seeing that Cao Wanchun was really reluctant to speak, Tang Cheng didn't continue to ask, but just casually asked Cao Wanchun about how the captured Japanese spies were interrogated, and Cao Wanchun's face became slightly better. During the two-day arrest operation, the intelligence department could be described as a bumper harvest, not counting those who were killed on the spot and seriously injured and unconscious, the intelligence department successfully arrested more than 30 Japanese spies who were jumping around.
Cao Wanchun was precisely because of the overnight interrogation of these arrested Japanese spies, he would stay up all night until his eyes were bloodshot, and when Tang Cheng asked about the interrogation results at this moment, Cao Wanchun's expression was complicated, because until this moment, the number of Japanese spies who were successfully pried open by them was less than one hand. Tang Cheng immediately rolled his eyes when he heard this, then leaned forward and lowered his voice and smiled at Cao Wanchun, "Uncle Cao, why don't we have a discussion, if I have a way to get the five arrested Japanese spies to confess today, you can tell me what happened upstairs last night!" ”
"If you kid has nothing to do, go out shopping or go home to sleep, don't be amused by me!" Zhang Jianghe slapped the table on the spot with several middle-level and high-ranking officials in front of the director last night, and although the intelligence department said that infighting was prohibited, there were also factions. Even the director couldn't protect Zhang Jianghe, Tang Cheng was talking to himself about conditions at the moment, obviously wanting to participate in last night's incident, Cao Wanchun secretly weighed his own weight, it was better not to participate in this troubled water.
Tang Cheng, who was rejected by Cao Wanchun, looked a little bad, Zhang Jianghe had already said that Cao Wanchun looked loyal, but in fact he was a guy with the same heart as Bai Zhanshan, and now it seems that what Zhang Jianghe said was right. was rejected by the other party, Tang Cheng was embarrassed to stay any longer, but he still found Zhang Jiang and his former team members, borrowed a phone to call Secretary Yao who was working upstairs, and made an appointment with the other party to meet at a time and place, and then Tang Cheng drove away from the headquarters compound of the Intelligence Department.
Cao Wanchun gave himself no face, Tangcheng, the car borrowed from Cao Wanchun, he didn't plan to return it immediately, in short, during his stay in Nanjing, this car could be regarded as his own private car. With the resentment in his heart, Tang Cheng drove aimlessly wandering around the street, and just thought that he should go to Joseph's place to take a look, but Tang Cheng accidentally saw Xu Huanshan who appeared in front of a shop on the street through the car window.
Tang Cheng didn't get out of the car immediately to meet Xu Huanshan, because Xu Huanshan was not alone at the moment, and Tang Cheng, who didn't want to have too much contact with the underground party, didn't plan to show up before he figured out the identity of the woman next to Xu Huanshan. Xu Huanshan, who was coming out of a shop on the street, didn't realize that Tang Cheng was in the black car across the street, and returned to Nanjing, Xu Huanshan had a lot to do, and he would have just finished meeting with the contact person.
Xu Huanshan has now basically broken away from the line of the Nanjing underground party, and the owner of the shop behind him is Xu Huanshan's only contact person in Nanjing. And the woman standing beside him at this moment is Li Muyun, the assistant assigned to him by the organization, pretending to be his wife. Xu Huanshan's current identity is a Chinese language teacher in Nancheng Middle School, and Li Muyun is an art teacher, and the two have spent two months of "husband and wife" life in Nancheng Middle School. Tang Cheng in the sedan secretly observed Xu Huanshan and the two, and the store that Xu Huanshan went in and out of before was naturally secretly remembered by Tang Cheng.
"Tut, the vigilance is there, but the ability to reverse tracking is poor at home, how did you become the person in charge of such a skill!" Xu Huanshan and the two of them walked straight along the street before they crossed a street intersection, and their tails were faintly embellished behind them, and Tang Cheng, who had already opened the triple eyepiece skill, shook his head secretly when he saw this. The man in the cotton robe who followed Xu Huanshan and the two was a man in a cotton robe, but Tang Cheng looked at the figure of the man and his movements when he walked, and he had already confirmed in his heart that the man in the cotton robe should be from the army, and it was likely that he was a plainclothes recruited by the Central Command from the army.
During this period of time, the intelligence department shone brightly, and several operations were done neatly and neatly, and the Central Commander, who had been secretly competing with the Intelligence Department, mistakenly believed that the intelligence department's outstanding performance was the result of most of the personnel being transferred from the army, so the Central Command began to recruit soldiers to serve as operational backbones and plainclothes personnel on a large scale since last month. Finding and confirming that someone was following Xu Huanshan and the two, Tang Cheng did not move immediately, but immediately accelerated to overtake Xu Huanshan and the two who were walking on the side of the street.
Xu Huanshan and Li Muyun have not cooperated for a long time, and they are still in the period of understanding and running-in with each other, and the news told to Xu Huanshan by the contact person just now is too shocking, and Xu Huanshan did not find that someone was following him behind him after leaving the store. Xu Huanshan, who was still secretly immersed in the news just now, was suddenly bumped by the first teenager who came to him, and when they apologized to each other, Xu Huanshan's hand was quickly stuffed into a paper ball by the other party.
"Go, don't stop, keep walking!" The process of being stuffed into the paper ball in Xu Huanshan's hand was clearly seen by Li Muyun, and Li Muyun, who had a premonition of an accident, was a little flustered, but was secretly stopped by Xu Huanshan. Xu Huanshan's heart was also flustered, but his self-control ability was good, and he was not like Li Muyun, who had stiffened his body and messed up his steps. Xu Huanshan, who pretended that nothing had happened, stepped forward again, and then took the opportunity to sort out the scarf for Li Muyun and looked at the paper ball in his hand.
"It's okay, a friend of mine came to remind us." Seeing the familiar mark on the paper ball, Xu Huanshan immediately relieved himself, since Tang Cheng could find someone to warn him, it meant that Tang Cheng must be nearby. Seeing that Li Muyun was puzzled, Xu Huanshan explained with a chuckle, "It's to remind us that we have been followed!" ”
