At ten o'clock, Li Shiqun took Ni Xin and Zhang Shengyu to attend the press conference, and said with a kind attitude and sincere words: "You have been waiting for a long time, Mr. Guo asked me to say sorry to everyone, his migraine has flare-up again, I wanted to wait for a little improvement to attend together, but the doctor thought that Mr. Guo could not be interviewed without four to five hours of sleep." However, you should not be disappointed, let me introduce that this is Major Zhang Shengyu of the Telecommunications Department of the Chongqing Military Command Bureau, a student and subordinate of Mr. Guo Xuan, who joined Mr. Guo to surrender. Mr. Guo entrusted his representative to attend the reception, and you can ask him any questions. ”

Zhang Shengyu solemnly gave a military salute and sat next to Li Shiqun. A reporter asked, "What kind of disease did Mr. Guo come to Shanghai for treatment?" ”

Zhang Shengyu replied: "You can check the newspapers published in Chongqing a few days after June 28, and it is found that Director Guo was seriously injured in the head in the explosion of the Kangci Pharmaceutical Factory, and Chongqing has no conditions for radical treatment, so Director Guo applied to come to Shanghai for treatment. Let me tell you an inside message: Before coming to Shanghai, Director Guo intended to take this opportunity to abandon the dark and turn to the light, and he had discussed with me, and I also had this intention, so I applied to accompany him to Shanghai to join the construction of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle. ”

The highest level of lies is to add the untruths they need on the basis of most of the facts, and Li Shiqun and others are well aware of this.

Another reporter asked, "Will Mr. Guo join No. 76?" If so, in what capacity? ”

Zhang Shengyu replied: "I can't answer this question at present, because the top priority is to completely cure Director Guo's chronic illness, and only after recovery can we talk about other things." However, even at that time, although Director Li was eager to seek talents, he didn't know if he could get Director Guo's right-hand man, because Director Guo and General Ying Zuo Zhenzhao were alumni when they studied in the United Kingdom, so General Ying Zuo also intended to recruit. This statement revealed the relationship between Guo Xuan and Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, causing an illusion: the reason why Guo Xuan took the initiative to sell himself and join the company has a lot to do with Ying Zuo Zhenzhao being an alumnus.

"I have a question that I would like to ask Director Li to answer in person: Is Mr. Guo indeed voluntarily surrendered?"

Li Shiqun replied: "Of course, when I met Mr. Guo just now, you all saw Mr. Guo's physical and mental condition, and everyone is a well-informed reporter, do you think Mr. Guo seems to be coerced?" Has he ever been tortured? I know that there are many misunderstandings about No. 76 from the outside world, and I can responsibly tell everyone: such an inhumane thing as extorting confessions by torture is absolutely not allowed to be stored in No. 76. ”

The reporter asked some more questions, and Ni Xin came forward and said: "It's almost time, Director Li will accompany Mr. Guo to the big world to enjoy Boss Shang's "Cosmic Edge" in the evening, if you are interested, you can wait for Mr. Guo there, but whether Mr. Guo is willing to be disturbed to enjoy the Peking Opera Yaxing, I don't know, I wish you all good luck." Now give everyone ten minutes to shoot, and that's the end of the reception. ”

At seven o'clock, two black bridge cars drove up, and Guo Xuan, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, Li Shiqun and others got out of the car and entered the theater from a distance. Unexpectedly, the service staff of the theater seemed to be extra vigilant that day, and the reporters who did not have tickets and wanted to sneak in for interviews tried their best, and none of them succeeded. Two reporters gritted their teeth and bought tickets for scalpers at a high price, and entered the theater, but they didn't expect the guards outside the box to be lined up, and said: "Mr. Guo has repeatedly explained that he wants to concentrate on enjoying Peking Opera and does not want to be disturbed, please forgive me." The two journalists had no choice but to go home.

In the box, Guo Xuan seemed to be immersed in the wonderful performance of Boss Shang and Liang for three days, and turned a blind eye to Liu Zezhi, Ni Xin and others who were in the same box and close at hand.

Liu Zezhi and the others returned to the dormitory, it was already the second half of the night, and Hirakawa Xinye said: "It's not okay to go on like this, I can't sleep for three hours a day, I have to be tired." Zezhi, I'll rest for half a day tomorrow morning, and you will take turns off in the afternoon, okay? ”

"I have already had this intention, tomorrow after your shift, I want to go to the Chinese medicine hospital to see, my stomach problems seem to be getting more and more severe these days, Miss Xu introduced me to an old Chinese medicine doctor, it has been more than ten days, and I haven't found time yet."

The next day, not only photos of Guo Xuan appearing in the parking lot of the Great World Theater appeared in major media in Shanghai, but also exclusive photos taken by the "lucky" female photojournalist of Guo Xuan, Li Shiqun and others walking together in corridor 76. Of course, even more important is the news conference.

At nine o'clock in the morning of August 17, Secretary Wang sent a secret telegram from the Shanghai Station at the headquarters of the Chongqing Military Command Bureau. ”

Secretary Wang's heart throbbed, his heart was sad and unbearable, he said hard: "Mr. Mao, Guo Xuan is a talent of the military commander, and he has made many military exploits, please cherish his talents for the country......"

"Say no more! Do you think I'm willing to do that? Have you ever thought about it: how to rescue without the cooperation of the insider? Even if I order Liu Zezhi to cooperate, how likely is it to succeed? At that time, after losing No. 86, what did the Golden Cicada plan do? Guo Xuan will not die for a day, and Li Shiqun can use him to slap the military commander in the face at any time! Slap the boss in the face! Guo Xuan will not die for a day, and many of his protégés will have a wait-and-see heart! I also believe that Guo Xuan will not betray the military commander so lightly, so I must get rid of him before he can't stand the torture, or can't resist the temptation and betrays! In this way, the loss of the entire telecommunications system of the military command will be reduced to a minimum! Execute the command! ”

"Mr. Mao, my subordinates know that No. 86 can't act without authorization, can you wait a little longer and see if things have taken a turn for the better?"

Mao Renfeng sighed deeply: "Turnaround? Guo Xuan rebelled, and we can't let him live; Guo Xuan resisted torture and would rather die than give in, Li Shiqun and the Japanese would not let him go! Knowing this, it would have been better for him to die in Chongqing, I shouldn't have agreed to let him go to Shanghai for treatment......"

Two days have passed, and there is no news of Zhou Chengbin, but Xu Jianxue sent Ji Qun to convey the order of Mao Renfeng of the bureau headquarters in the name of sending homemade sour plum soup to relieve the heat: Keep silent, and do not act without authorization, otherwise military law will be involved. Liu Zezhi has already understood that Chongqing has given up Guo Xuan! Is there really no way? Zhou Chengbin, what will he do? Knowing that it did not meet the latent discipline, Liu Zezhi still decided to take the risk to meet Zhou Chengbin. Not seeing this side, saying what he wanted to say, he could not face his conscience.

As soon as he got to work on the morning of August 17, Liu Zezhi called Xu Jianxue: "Jianxue, I have a turn off in the afternoon, and I want to go to Mr. He to have a look, you can make an appointment for me." ”

According to Chen Jinsong's new rules: as long as you have the password agreed with Mr. He in advance, you can connect here, Mr. He does not know who the connector is, nor does he know the content of the conversation, and whether he will come again in the future.

At one o'clock at noon, in the Kangfeng Clinic, Liu Zezhi saw Zhou Chengbin. Zhou Chengbin asked with a straight face: "What are you looking for me?" Mr. Mao ordered you to be silent, didn't you receive the message from Ji Qun? ”

"I got it, but Guo Xuan was arrested ......"

Zhou Chengbin's attitude has never been blunt: "You don't need to say it, I can answer you now: rescue Guo Xuan, I will never agree, you will die of this heart." I warn you: Don't think that the emperor is far away, Mr. Mao is beyond the reach of the whip, you dare to disobey the order and act without authorization, I will personally enforce the discipline! ”

Liu Zezhi explained in a low voice: "Although because there are more people involved, for safety, you didn't let me participate in the operation of Jimin Hospital, but knowing that it was a trap, you built a plan to let Guo Xuan come to Shanghai for treatment, it was my idea, and I also had a responsibility not to inform Xu Jianxue of the news that Guo Xuan came to Shanghai, if he died because of this, the husband and wife will be separated forever, how can I have the face to see Xu Jianxue?" The Japanese openly advertised in the newspaper that Guo Xuan had sold himself to take refuge, Xu Jianxue couldn't have seen it, and it was impossible not to be suspicious, I didn't know what to say when I saw her? If we give up on rescuing again, won't I become a shameless villain with a dirty heart and deliberately framed to achieve ulterior motives? ”

Zhou Chengbin asked rhetorically: "Then are you really such a person?" ”

"Of course not, you know my ......"

Zhou Chengbin interrupted Liu Zezhi's words: "How can you be as good as you want, but please be worthy of my heart, since you know that you are not such a person, why bother with gains and losses?" ”

Liu Zezhi did not give up, and continued: "As the saying goes, Wang Fa is no more than human ......affection."

"Wang Fa is big but human? Who taught you? Was it taught by an instructor from the Qingpu training class? Or was it taught by Mr. Mao? Zhou Chengbin used the sternness that left no room for room to hide the guilt in his heart. When Guo Xuan had an accident, the pain and self-blame in his heart were no less than Liu Zezhi's.

"I didn't mean that, I mean that Guo Xuan is a talent of the military commander......"

Zhou Chengbin slowed down his tone and said: "Zezhi, Guo Xuan and I are friends and brothers, and I would have died a long time ago without you and Guo Xuan's disobedience and unauthorized rescue." But have you thought about it: just because Guo Xuan saved me from No. 76, how could Li Shiqun repeat the mistakes of the past? In other words, it is precisely because Guo Xuan saved me that I have no chance to take advantage of it now! Do you think about what my heart feels like? ”

Liu Zezhi was silent for a long time before he said: "Can we only watch Li Shiqun and Ying Zuozhen Zhao fight the faces of the military commanders?" Seeing that they failed to lure them down, they killed Guo Xuan? Do you think Li Shiqun will really let him go? ”

Zhou Chengbin took a deep breath and replied, "No matter how naïve I am, I won't take Li Shiqun's nonsense seriously. With my understanding of Guo Xuan, he will never commit treason to the enemy, then he will be worse than dead, I have tasted that taste...... In the end, Guo Xuan would die of torture. ”

"Since you understand, why don't you hurry up and find a way......"

"Enough, don't say it! I'll tell you the truth: Mr. Mao has already sent a killer to carry out the task of exterminating the mouth. Zezhi, you have to be reasonable, we have lost Guo Xuan, and we can't lose you again. ”

"What? What did you say? Liu Zezhi stood up suddenly: "How can you do this?!" I can't be rational! Do you want to do it? If you don't do it, I'll do it myself! ”

Zhou Chengbin was furious: "What did you say? You repeat?! Don't forget that you're a lieutenant colonel agent of the military command, and I can kill you for disobedience right now! ”

Liu Zezhi looked up to the sky and sneered: "You kill me, let me stand by and watch, watching Guo Xuan die, I might as well die...... I'm an agent, but I'm first and foremost a human ......."

Zhou Chengbin's voice trembled uncontrollably: "This is the fate of the agent, yes, I am heartbroken, but reason tells me that Mr. Mao is right to do this." Not only for Guo Xuan, but also for you, there will be no second way to deal with it. If you feel sorry for Guo Xuan, protect yourself and cooperate with me to complete the Golden Cicada Project. You're a man, you're an agent, you know better than me what to do, I don't want to say more, there's no need to say more, you go back. ”

Liu Zezhi slammed his fist on the table, and sobbed silently. Zhou Chengbin didn't dare to open his mouth to comfort, at this moment, as long as he opened his mouth, the long-suppressed tears would completely betray his weakness! Liu Zezhi is right, he is an agent, but he is first and foremost a person, a person with flesh and blood and feelings......

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the luncheon hosted by Heiichiro Ono came to an end, and Heiichiro Ono said with a smile: "Today is to wash the dust for Mr. Guo, according to the prior agreement not to talk about business, I will toast everyone again, I hope to have the opportunity to have a deep talk with Mr. Guo in the future." ”

Guo Xuan smiled slightly and replied: "Maybe there is a chance, if Director Li keeps his promise and lets me go on the morning of the 20th, and waits until the day when Japan is defeated and surrendered in the future, you are fortunate enough to be imprisoned and waiting to be brought to the war criminals court, I will definitely go to see you, and you can talk about anything at that time." ”

Li Shiqun was afraid that Ono Heiichiro would be annoyed and angry, so he hurriedly came forward to round the scene: "Lao Guo, punish three glasses of wine, and say that you won't talk about business, you are here again." ”

Kagezo Zhenzhao interjected: "By the way, General Ono, didn't you say that you were going to hold an engagement dinner for Ling Ai and Ni Sang on the 22nd of this month?" Mr. Guo, on this occasion, how about staying with you for a few more days? ”

Guo Xuanqi said: "So the Japanese soldiers have suffered heavy losses, and all the good men are dead?" If you want to climb the Chinese, you should also find a decent one. Ni Sang? Is it Ni Xin? The scum who forgets his ancestors and sells himself to take refuge. ”

Ni Xin, who was accompanying the last seat, couldn't help but sneer: "Although Ni is not talented, he also made the first telecommunications master of the military command seriously injured under my hands. What is a pawn? What is Ancestor? It's just that the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise. ”

Li Shiqun's face was blank, and he said: "Ni Xin, don't be unruly!" Have you even forgotten the way of hospitality? ”

Zhao Jingdong walked in quietly and said something in Li Shiqun's ear. Li Shiqun said with a smile: "The plane tree planted has its own phoenix, Lao Guo, Captain Zhao brought you an uninvited guest, your secretary Mr. Jian Siyao heard that you were here, so he came here, and I went to talk to him." ”

Guo Xuan didn't know well, what did Jian Siyao come to do? Guo Xuan still knows his secretary very well, and his telecommunications technology is not outstanding, but he is meticulous and thoughtful, dedicated and gentle, and he is his right and left hand. This person lives in the country, is a small fellow villager of Dai Li and Mao Renfeng, and is loyal to the military command, and it is impossible for him to take refuge in No. 76.

Heiichiro Ono smiled and said, "It's almost time, let's disperse, Mr. Guo is recovering from a serious illness, and it's time to rest." ”
