Chapter 50: A New Mission
"Now you get it! There are not only the Central Command, but also the internal affairs of the Intelligence Department. You kid will be smarter in the future, don't always feel that there is a director to support you, you dare to reach out for anything, and before doing things in the future, it's best to think about it first! "Sent Cao Wanchun and Xie Chunlan away, Zhang Jianghe called Tang Cheng to the study, Tang Cheng was already speechless at this moment, and said in his heart Where is this intelligence agency, this is completely a palace fight!
Early the next morning, Zhang Jianghe took Zhou Hongmakeup to the compound of the Intelligence Department, and Tang Cheng was deliberately left in the old mansion to take care of his family. It took almost 2 hours for Zhang Jianghe to come back with a black face, Tang Cheng didn't dare to touch Zhang Jianghe's moldy head when he saw this, so he went to ask Zhou Hongxiang quietly, but the answer given by Zhou Hongxiang made Tang Cheng difficult to react for a while. "My godfather brought back a file, and I eavesdropped on him talking to the guy surnamed Cao in the building, which should be a new task given by the director."
Zhou Hongxiang's words made Tang Cheng confused, if the dossier that Zhang Jianghe brought back was about a new task, according to Zhang Jianghe's temper, it should be thrown directly to himself, but why did Zhang Jianghe lock himself in the study alone? Is it because of the content of this new mission? Tang Cheng seemed to have an understanding, and after motioning for Zhou Hongmakeup to stay in the living room, Tang Cheng gently knocked on the door of the study.
Zhang Jianghe came back with a black face, naturally because of the file in his hand, through Cao Wanchun, Zhang Jianghe already knew that Beiping Station had become a pot of porridge, and at this time, if Tang Cheng went to Beiping to carry out this assassination mission, he simply didn't take Tang Cheng's life seriously! Assassination is not a simple matter of sneaking in, getting close to the target, and shooting to end the mission, the personnel who carry out the assassination mission must also have the support of intelligence and materials, especially after the operation, and need someone to help them leave safely.
The Beiping Station side is already too busy to take care of himself, where will there be spare strength to assist Tang Cheng to complete this assassination task, even if Tang Cheng can complete the assassination independently, if no one assists, he will not be able to get rid of the pursuit and siege of the opponent after the operation. The knock on the door woke up Zhang Jianghe, who was thinking, and sighed secretly, Zhang Jianghe put the file in his hand on the table, and when Tang Cheng came in, he saw the file on the table at first sight.
"Red makeup may have told you about it! This is the dossier, you read it first, and when you read it, we'll talk about it. Zhang Jianghe tried his best to make his expression look natural, but Tang Cheng still heard something strange from his tone. Flipping through the file on the table, just after a rough look, Tang Cheng had basically figured out the content of this file. is similar to what Zhou Hongxiang said before, the file records a person named Tan Weiguang, and the word assassination is clearly written in the action plan on the second page of the file.
"Now you see! This is the new task explained above, an assassination operation, and the target is this man named Tan Weiguang. According to the news from Beiping Station, this Tan Weiguang has been in frequent contact with the Japanese recently, and seems to be preparing to sell a batch of antique calligraphy and paintings to the Japanese. The director's request is to assassinate this Tan Weiguang, and if there is a chance, it is best to bring these things from the palace back to Nanjing. ”
Zhang Jianghe's last sentence reminded Tang Cheng that it was mentioned in later documentaries that the elder liked all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings in his life, especially the things in the palace. "Uncle, aren't you just going to assassinate a traitor scum! I thought it was a big deal! Tang Cheng deliberately pretended to be disapproving, "Have you forgotten what I did in Shanghai?" I can come and go freely in places like Hongkou District, and Beiping is still our territory, so your worries are unnecessary. ”
Zhang Jianghe's worries did not completely dissipate because of Tang Cheng's words, but Tang Dynasty's words reminded him that when Tang Cheng was in Shanghai, he didn't go to Hongkou District to toss the Japanese, and compared with Hongkou District, Beiping is indeed not dangerous. "But there are a lot of bad things at Beiping Station, and they are now too busy to take care of themselves, where is the spare strength to assist you in your actions? And once you start moving, how to evacuate quickly is the key to saving your life. ”
Seeing that Tang Cheng didn't seem to understand what he meant, Zhang Jianghe immediately habitually lowered his voice and said to Tang Cheng. "This assassination operation, the director doesn't want more people to know, if you are arrested in Beiping, the intelligence department will definitely not come forward to protect you. So if you go to Beiping this time, you can only be alone, and if you have the opportunity to take those things with you, you can only hide them in Beiping first, and then bring the hiding place back to Nanjing. ”
Dare to love, this is a black operation that will not be officially recognized! Zhang Jianghe had already said the meaning so clearly, where would Tang Cheng not understand. Tang Cheng's expression gradually stiffened with his mood, this kind of black operation that cannot see the light often has a follow-up effect, the planner may think of killing people to prevent the spread of internal information, and the executor will incur endless pursuit because he knows too much inside information. Tang Cheng, who has watched a lot of film and television dramas, has already thought of the worst plan at this time, but he also knows that he can't refuse this task at all.
However, Tang Cheng didn't only think of the worst outcome, according to the elder who always took care of him, Tang Cheng didn't think that the other party would kill him. Thinking about it for a while, Tang Cheng thought that this assassination was just a restraint measure taken by the director to himself, and the director hoped that he would continue to stay at the Nanjing headquarters, Tang Cheng knew this clearly, but after returning from Shanghai, he had been tossing Zhang Jiang and transferring to Chongqing.
Could it be that because of this, he annoyed the director? So that person made this assassination mission for himself, just to force himself to take the initiative to bow his head, and then agreed to transfer Zhang Jiang and go south to Chongqing, and then take advantage of the situation to leave himself at the Nanjing headquarters to serve. Tang Cheng felt that he had found the answer to the question, but he tossed out so many things, the purpose was to take his family, relatives and friends south to Chongqing and avoid the upcoming chaos! What is it called to stay in Nanjing?
Tang Cheng naturally wouldn't stay in Nanjing, so at this moment, he immediately made a choice, "Uncle, don't worry, I'll take this job." Tang Cheng's decision surprised Zhang Jianghe, but Tang Cheng didn't give him a chance to speak at all, so he continued. Uncle, this matter is decided, but it is just to kill a traitor. It is more convenient for me to act alone, and the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better, and if the people at Peking Station can do it, the director will not leave this matter to me to do. ”
Tang Cheng's attitude was very tough, no matter how Zhang Jianghe persuaded him, Tang Cheng just refused to bow his head, in order to make Zhang Jianghe give up persuasion, Tang Cheng also called Cao Wanchun, asking Cao Wanchun to tell the director that he had taken over this task. "You bastard, I just told you yesterday to think twice before doing something! This Tan Weiguang is not simple, this person is not only a military cadet studying in Japan, but also has several bodyguards around him all the year round, all of whom are extraordinary people. ”
What Zhang Jianghe said at this moment is recorded in this file, and there are even photos of Tan Weiguang and his bodyguards in the file. Tang Cheng flipped through the photos in the file, and then sneered with disdain, "It's good to have bodyguards!" Then just kill it all in one piece, it's not that hard! Tang Cheng's words were full of disdain and indifference, Zhang Jianghe, who had never seen Tang Cheng's actual combat skills, was still worried.
Tang Cheng did not refuse this assassination mission, Cao Wanchun definitely did not expect it, but the director who learned the news was a little calm. "Tang Cheng is different from you!" The answer given by the director made Cao Wanchun confused. "Tang Cheng, like his father, is responsible, he should have understood what I meant, so he will not hesitate to take on this task, and I don't doubt his ability."
Cao Wanchun, who had been thinking about the answer for a morning, came to the Zhang family's old house to seek an answer when he was in a hurry to eat at noon. "Uncle Cao, don't ask so much, in short, I am already in the next step for this job. If you are always idle and uncomfortable, book me a train ticket, and I plan to leave for Peking as soon as possible. Tang Cheng didn't explain anything to Cao Wanchun, and even asked with great interest how Xie Chunlan's matter was resolved.
"It's nothing about her, the Zhongtong side said that she found the wrong person, and they also sent a hundred yuan to Xie Chunlan to apologize, and the director didn't plan to really make a big deal about it." When Cao Wanchun said this, Tang Cheng deliberately stared into his eyes, and seeing that Cao Wanchun didn't look fake, Tang Cheng didn't continue to ask. failed to find the answer from Tang Cheng, Cao Wanchun entangled Zhang Jianghe again, but Zhang Jianghe took the opportunity to scold him, so he had to leave the Zhang family's old mansion in a huff.
Zhang Jianghe, who scolded Cao Wanchun and wanted to persuade Tang Cheng to change his decision, called Tang Cheng into the study again. "Beiping is not big or small, you have never been to Beiping, and if you are not familiar with the terrain and go to Beiping, it will be much more difficult to act." Zhang Jianghe obviously changed his strategy this time, he did not directly persuade Tang Cheng to give up the assassination operation, but first talked about the difficulties involved, Tang Cheng had never been to Beiping was one of them.
Tang Cheng secretly laughed in his heart, how could he not be familiar with Beijing City, who was born in Beijing in his later life. Although the layout of Beiping City in the Republic of China era and Beijing City in later generations has been very different, it is not that the Tang City of this era went to Beiping City, and there will be low-level mistakes regardless of direction. As long as he can clearly discern the direction, Tang Cheng will have enough self-confidence that he will not get lost in Beiping City in this era.
