In the courtyard of the Shanghai Mulan Society, Ning Zhiheng was looking at several antique calligraphy and paintings on the table.

He held a pair of calligraphy in front of his eyes to watch carefully, only to see that the penmanship of this post is smooth and exquisite, the structure is beautiful and rigorous, the shape is sparse and elegant, and the charm is vigorous and ancient, and he can't help but nod again and again, and it took a long time to turn around and say to Luo Xingchao with a smile: "Zhao Mengfu's drunken dream post, this is definitely the real thing, when I was in Nanjing, I heard that the trace of this treasure, and sent someone to find it, but I didn't find it, and finally because the time was too tight, I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of Li Zhiqun, he worked hard, it's really a good thing!" ”

Ning Zhiheng likes ancient calligraphy and painting the most, and when he sees such a baby, he is naturally overjoyed.

Luo Xingchao saw that Ning Zhiheng liked it so much, so he said with a smile: "Li Zhiqun has spent a lot of effort to please you, and I will count on you to take care of you in the future!" ”

Immediately, the two of them laughed, Ning Zhiheng gently put down the calligraphy, and looked at several other treasures, these are Li Zhiqun's carefully selected treasures, although they are not Ning Zhiheng's favorite calligraphy and paintings, but the preciousness is not below the drunken dream post.

Ning Zhiheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Give him a lesson this time, but he has a long memory, if it weren't for you, I would have to give him some hardship." ”

Luo Xingchao smiled when he heard this, and said: "Now Li Zhiqun is afraid that you will find his back account, so he expects me to come to you, such a good thing will often be sent to you in the future." ”

"I won't refuse to come!" Ning Zhiheng laughed, turned around and returned to his seat, leaning back in the chair easily, "By the way, now that he has arrested so many employees of the central bank, what are you going to do next?" ”

"Of course, it is to the end, yesterday the Bank of Shanghai and the two major associations of the money industry recommended several well-known bankers to plead with Li Zhiqun, but he was turned away, and then I persuaded him, so I let people in to see him, but this person really has no communication skills, just a few words to deal with, he lost his temper and kicked people out, I think this guy is determined to make things bigger."

Ning Zhiheng was not surprised, Li Zhiqun's appetite this time was big, and it was impossible for a few bankers to move, nodded and said: "This is not unexpected, his purpose is to close the four major banks, what are the next moves?" ”

Luo Xingchao reported: "There is a move, yesterday he also instructed Wu Shicai to prepare to take action against the central bank's office on Xinzha Road, do you need to notify the headquarters?" ”

Ning Zhiheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Were you present when he ordered Wu Shicai?" ”

"Be there!"

"Then forget it, as long as the information involved with you is not reported, this loss is not worth your risk."

Ning Zhiheng naturally would not let Luo Xingchao have any risk of being exposed, and besides, the two sides had fought for three months, and each of them had suffered countless casualties, and now it was to save a few lives, what use could it be.

Luo Xingchao actually had this consideration, and when he saw Ning Zhiheng's attitude, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then reported: "There is another thing, Li Zhiqun asked me to investigate the Second Action Brigade, and they knew from the captured agents of the Shanghai Station that there were internal ghosts within the Second Action Brigade, because it was under my jurisdiction, and this matter was handed over to me to deal with." ”

Next, he reported the specific situation, Ning Zhiheng listened carefully, and immediately ordered: "Check, according to the situation you said, this inner line must be in the Second Action Brigade, Li Zhiqun has already decided about this matter, then it is not easy to cheat, to be honest, this matter is not difficult to investigate, can cooperate with the Shanghai Station to cooperate with the outside world, solve several targets and guards, and do such a big case, this is not like the ordinary Qinggang disciples, I estimate that the Shanghai Station once again rebelled against the National Salvation Army officers who rebelled at the beginning, The Shanghai station was rejoined, so the scope of the investigation was not large.

Besides, as long as you check the whereabouts of these suspicious people at the time of the crime, it is not difficult to find out this inside line, and if you want to do something from it, it will be easy for Li Zhiqun to see it. ”

After listening to Ning Zhiheng's analysis, Luo Xingchao also nodded and said: "I think so too, it's not difficult to find out this inside line, as long as you work hard, it won't take long, but if it really finds out, what should I do?" After all, it is not easy for Shanghai Station to install an inside line in the Second Action Brigade, should I dig him out again? ”

Ning Zhiheng glanced at him and said coldly: "If you don't dig it out, he will be safe?" Now Li Zhiqun is just in the way of your face, it is not good to directly intervene in this matter, otherwise he will investigate by himself, and he will soon be able to find this inner line, that is to say, the value of this inner line is not very large, and it can even be said to be a great hidden danger, if Li Zhiqun follows this clue and digs out the contact line behind him, it is likely to threaten Shanghai Station, don't you understand this truth? ”

Luo Xingchao suddenly felt a pang in his heart, in the end, he was seated, and his consideration was far more careful than his own.

"It's all my carelessness, I only think about preserving this inside line, you're right, since he can't hide it, then he has no latent value, and he should cut off this clue as soon as possible, you see, what to do next? Do you want to notify the Shanghai station and ask them to order the inner line to evacuate immediately? ”

"No way!"

Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and categorically rejected this proposal, he thought for a while, and then analyzed: "You just took over the investigation, and this inside line was evacuated, is this normal?" Even if you have a special status, Li Zhiqun doesn't dare to doubt you, that's a big flaw.

Besides, is Shanghai Station necessarily reliable? Over the years, the reason why I have insisted on not establishing horizontal contact with the Shanghai station is not because they do not know the stakes, they are reckless and radical, and they have repeatedly made mistakes, Wang Hanmin is a good example, if they make a mistake in the future and fall into the hands of the Japanese and Li Zhiqun, and tell the story of today, you, as the chief officer in charge of the investigation, will not be able to get rid of suspicion. ”

"What do you mean?"

Ning Zhiheng smiled slightly, and pointed: "You should investigate, investigate, and after finding out, you will deliberately move bigger, scare him away, and force him to take the initiative to evacuate, so that you can also explain the past to Li Zhi**, and both aspects can be explained!" ”

"Clever!" Luo Xingchao couldn't help but high-five and exclaimed, "This method is good, all aspects can be taken care of, and there are no hidden dangers, or you are far-sighted and unreachable!" ”

"You don't need to be a sycophant! These are all small things, the most important thing for us now, or the current Li Zhiqun and Shanghai Station entanglement, now Li Zhiqun has the upper hand, step by step, aggressive, I will intervene in this matter in the near future, but before that, you have to try to ensure the safety of those hostages. ”

"Yes, I know how!" Luo Xingchao received the order respectfully.

The next day, there was another sound of explosions on Xinzha Road, and the office of the Central Bank was bombed, and three employees of the Central Bank were killed or wounded, and the office was considered unusable.

After hearing the news, Chen Hongchi, the head of the Shanghai station, could only swallow this breath helplessly, on the one hand, the strength in his hands was seriously damaged, and it was somewhat difficult to continue.

Especially his most powerful assistant, the captain of the operation Yang Wenbo, this is his confidant brother who has followed him for many years, and his sacrifice has hit Chen Hongchi very hard.

On the other hand, it was the 200 hostages held by Li Zhiqun, and the other party threatened that as long as the Shanghai station dared to carry out retaliatory actions again, "one life would be worth three lives", which made Chen Hongchi throw a rat into the trap, these hostages are all public servants of the central bank, and if they are really because they are too seriously injured and do not do well, they will be involved.

"Stationmaster, now that most of our action team members have lost, most of the rest have met with No. 76, and then entering the city, it is really dangerous, we must replenish some manpower, otherwise it will be difficult for us to attack again!"

The one who spoke was the new action captain Nong Zhenghao, who turned out to be the deputy captain of the action team and an elite selected from the Chongqing headquarters.

Chen Hongchi's face was serious, the current situation of the Shanghai station is difficult, three months of high-intensity fighting, so that the strength of the Shanghai station has been reduced to the lowest point, in addition to the sacrificed personnel, there are many wounded because of injuries, unable to participate in the operation, he had to ask the headquarters for help many times.

"I have applied to the headquarters, and the headquarters has promised that a group of capable personnel will be selected from the National Salvation Army to supplement us, there is no need to worry about this matter, and I will inform one thing, in view of the current unfavorable situation, the headquarters has ordered that we should not take any action in the near future."

"No action?" Lu Jian, director of the intelligence department, asked in surprise, "If we let the 76th action be allowed to move, it won't be long before the four major banks will be forced to have nowhere to stand, once they are squeezed out of Shanghai's financial circles, the consequences are too serious, is there any new action from the headquarters?" ”

Chen Hongchi said: "The headquarters has its own considerations, I received an order, Yue Sheng will send an envoy back to Shanghai, urgently deal with this matter, it is estimated that we will make peace with Li Zhiqun, and soon someone will contact us, and we will obey the instructions!" ”

When several subordinates heard this, they were all relieved, they were also mentally exhausted and exhausted by the high-intensity actions in the past few months, and now when they hear this news, of course, they can't ask for it.

Chen Hongchi then instructed Nong Zhenghao: "Wenbo sacrificed, the inner line in his hand will be handed over to you, and you will be responsible for leading it in the future, this is the inner line that we have developed with great difficulty, you must be careful and careful, and you must not make mistakes." ”

Nong Zhenghao is also one of the main backbones of Shanghai Station, and he knows that Shanghai Station has an internal line inside No. 76.

He is not a descendant of Chen Hongchi from Beiping, but a person who was added from Nanjing, and now he heard that the stationmaster handed over such an important intelligence officer to himself, which is enough to show the stationmaster's trust in him, and his heart immediately became hot, and he quickly nodded and took the order: "I will definitely be cautious, please rest assured!" ”
