When Tang Weidong was about to write Yan Zhenqing's "Manuscript for the Sacrifice of His Nephew", it was difficult to control his emotions, at this time, he vented his anger and anxiety in the pen and ink of the dragon and phoenix dance, and the handwriting of those dragons and snakes became an outlet for his emotions. As the head of the central investigation team, finding the so-called renegades is not the ultimate goal, he has to consider national security, which is the biggest thing he cares about. However, what we are currently facing is that the Central Investigation Group's internal examination of the disappearance of the West and the personnel of the Central Investigation Department has yielded no results, the reasons for the sacrifice of comrades in the United States have yielded no results, the arrest of Chinese scientists in the United States has yielded no results, and most importantly, the search for a "backup system" has yielded no results. All this is a testament to his mediocrity and incompetence. The most troubling thing is not knowing what the consequences of the systemic risk caused by the loss of contact with the West of Hope will be. The reason why secrets are secrets is that secrets themselves do not have much significance, and the significance of the existence of secrets lies in the fact that secrets are a kind of legal code and a sharp weapon for mutual restraint and balance between countries. Secrets are often not meant to be hidden, but to be made public. For example, before testing the first atomic bomb, Japan told Japan that we were going to conduct an atomic bomb test, and after the test was successful, we announced to the world in the form of news that we wanted the world to know this secret. At that time, only the United States and the Soviet Union possessed nuclear weapons, and these two countries caused turmoil in the world, and after China revealed this secret, the world formed a pyramid-like stable structure. Therefore, the concealment and disclosure of secrets are only a means, and the concealment and disclosure of each other are the reasons for the balance between the state and the international community. The purpose of secrecy is to be transparent, and the purpose of transparency must be secrecy, and secrecy itself is a science as well as an art. All means of secrecy will eventually be discovered by anti-secrecy, and the means of anti-secrecy will make secrecy more indestructible. Due to the loss of contact with Wangxi, there is a loophole in the system, or because of the loss of contact with Wangxi, the secrets of all systems are no longer secrets, because he is the one who knows the system completely, what secrets will the system have at this time? When the secret becomes a secret, even the gap of a needle cannot exist, just like a balloon, because of the loophole of a needle, the balloon loses the meaning of existence, if a balloon is still needed, then you can only give up the leaky balloon and re-enable a new balloon, the "backup system" is this new balloon, but my father did not find it, Tang Weidong's anxiety is not to know how much damage caused by this broken balloon. On this day, the central investigation team held another emergency meeting, which was to verify and assess a series of risks brought about by the loss of contact with the West of Hope.

The secretary walked into the office, Tang Weidong had not stopped writing, in fact, his mind was not on the pen and ink at all, a drop of ink fell on the rice paper, and spread out in an instant, and a little bit of ink spread into a black and oppressive dark cloud, as if the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, and the heavy rain was about to destroy the city. Tang Weidong still didn't control his emotions after all, thinking of the risk that was expanding step by step, Tang Weidong's heart gave rise to a kind of fear, feeling that his heart was cold little by little, he was not afraid of anything, what he was afraid of was if any disaster happened, how should he face it?

The secretary whispered: "Chief, everyone has arrived, just waiting for you."

Tang Weidong said: Okay, I know.

Tang Weidong came to the conference room, and in addition to the people from the Central Investigation Group, the meeting was Zhao Hanbing, director of the Central Investigation Department, Ji Sen, director of the Second Bureau of the General Staff, and Bai Qiulu, director of the Action Bureau of the Central Investigation Department

Tang Weidong said: Let's talk about it, Comrade Han Bing starts with you.

Zhao Hanbing said: Then I'll tell you the truth, I think we should end the internal investigation as soon as possible and narrow the scope of the investigation, so that it goes on endlessly, everyone is the object of suspicion, so what loyalty and trust do we have? If the organization does not trust me, they can redeploy new cadres to replace me, are we exaggerating the danger of losing contact with the West? Isn't it just a desire to look to the West? I don't think the sky will fall. The biggest danger is to shut down the whole system and not know where the new "backup system" is. I'm done talking.

Tang Weidong said: Comrade Zhao Hanbing, what kind of loyalty and trust are you talking about when you don't die for the minute you die? It did not occur to me that these words came out of the mouth of one of your ministers. There is no big picture at all. Do you think this is just your center's business? If you have any comments about the Central Investigation Team, you can report them directly to the organization. As for whether you are suitable to be the minister, it is not a matter for the Central Investigation Team. Now the issue involved is not a matter for you as a unit, but as a matter for the state. Why can't we suspect everyone until the problem is clear? Loyalty and trust are the height of the suspicion, and the loyalty and trust that have withstood the doubt have its quality. Which person has the privilege of not being suspected? Doubt is a test in itself. Didn't we come step by step in the process of being suspected? What is the talk of ending an internal investigation before the investigation of the Central Investigation Team is concluded? What to talk about narrowing down the scope of the investigation? What is a comrade loyal to the organization afraid of investigation?

Zhao Hanbing said: Comrade Weidong, you see I'm not in a hurry.

Tang Weidong said: Is it useful to be in a hurry? Didn't you see that Comrade Huang Weiguo was not in a hurry? Who isn't in a hurry? Comrade Ji Sen, you go on.

Ji Sen said: I think it is imperative to find the Wangxi, otherwise, first, it is not good to characterize the problem, second, we don't know what happened to the Wangxi, third, we don't know how big the risk is that he brings, and fourth, what if we can't find a "backup system"? Let's talk about that first.

Tang Weidong said: It is well said and reasonable. Comrade Qiulu, talk about your views.

Bai Qiulu said: Comrades, if something like this happened, I should have applied for recusal, but recusal is useless, I can only face it. I think that no matter what happened to Wangxi, it is a terrible thing, first, if it happened to Wangxi himself, then, you all know what kind of person Wangxi is, if he doesn't want us to find him, the possibility of finding him is almost zero, and second, if Wangxi's disappearance is related to foreign forces, the possibility of us finding him is almost equal to zero. Including the loss of contact with Qiusha, finding two people in the world is like looking for a needle in a haystack, which is not a difficult thing for our organization, but so far there is no news, and I think the seriousness of this matter is far beyond our imagination. Therefore, I propose to expand the scope of the investigation, find the missing person as soon as possible, and start the establishment of a new backup system as soon as possible before the "backup system" is found, and we cannot sit idly by. Because, this matter involves me, and the organization still asks me to continue to work, and I obey all the decisions of the organization, and at the same time accept all the suspicions of the organization. Thank you comrades for your trust.

Tang Weidong said: Comrade Qiu Lu had a very good talk and was very constructive. I originally thought that today was another meaningless meeting, comrades, except for a few young comrades, we are all people who share life and death, today's meeting is very productive, and the topic I want to talk about today is risk assessment. With such a big thing happening, we can't afford not to have a sober assessment of the future, otherwise, what's the use of the organization using us people? The purpose of today's meeting is to get the issue to the fore. The meeting adopted Comrade Bai Qiulu's suggestion and stepped up the implementation of Comrade Qiulu's third suggestion, saying that a new backup system must be established as soon as possible before a "backup system" is found, which is the most effective measure for risk control. Tang Weidong said that he turned his head to the secretary and said: Write clearly in the minutes of the meeting, Comrade Zhao Hanbing is responsible for the establishment of a new backup system, Comrade Hanbing, what do you think?

Zhao Hanbing said: Of course, it is necessary to implement the spirit of the chief's instructions as soon as possible, but how easy is it to establish a new backup system? Not possible in a short period of time.

Tang Weidong said: What is possible for our cause? I just want results. Minister Zhao is still in the mood, okay, I invite you to drink today.
