Chapter 3 Mandated

That night, Liu Zezhi returned to Yuyuan, which was originally the property of the Sichuan warlord Janssen and lent it to Mao Renfeng. In the study, Liu Zezhi brought a cup of freshly brewed tea and replaced it with herbal tea. Accosted: "Mr. Mao hasn't rested yet?" ”

Mao Renfeng, the chief secretary of the General Administration of Military Command, the number two person in China's largest secret service organization, put down the text in his hand and asked, "Have you seen Li Shiqun?" What do you think? ”

"I met, we talked all night, and we just broke up. It's still the same rhetoric: I want to go to Guilin tomorrow to save my family. However, he told me that it was just a pretext, in fact, he went to Guilin's Bai Governor and wanted to find another job. By the way, he heard that I made up the statement: please ask him to go to Guilin to find a sister for me, so he asked me to go to Guilin with me. I replied that he wanted to go too, so I asked you for leave, and as long as you were allowed to leave, I would go with him. ”

"Do you see if he's really going to Guilin, or is he ...... Intent on defecting to Nanjing? The stakes are big, you can talk about it after you think about it! ”

"Yes. I think - Li Shiqun won't be so confused, right? Defected to Nanjing as a traitor? Isn't that a shameful ancestor? Mr. Mao, since you suspect him, why don't you just arrest him and interrogate him? ”

Mao Renfeng lowered his face and said, "What do you know? Li Shiqun is not a hot-blooded hairy young man, he is a politician who has milk and is a mother! Interrogating him? Where is the evidence? Without evidence, if he really had the intention to defect, wouldn't it be a surprise? If not, how's it going to end? If he really left the bureau headquarters and went to Guilin or other places, for me, it would not necessarily be a bad thing for such a person to go. But...... If he defects to Nanjing, it will be a different matter......"

Liu Zezhi didn't dare to speak anymore and waited for Mao Renfeng's instructions. In front of Mao Renfeng, who is always pleasant-looking most of the time, Liu Zezhi always has a little lingering fear and discomfort, not because of Mao Renfeng's lessons from time to time. For this chief, Liu Zezhi has already figured out his temper, and a few words of training show that he doesn't treat you as an outsider. This fear may be due to the fact that I have seen too much coldness and scheming behind that peaceful face, as well as a careless disregard for human life. Mao Renfeng got up and paced back and forth a few steps, walked to the window and stared at the night, and only after a while did he speak: "He asked you to go with him, if he didn't know his own thoughts, to show that he didn't think about anything else; Or...... I'm afraid that I will find an excuse not to let him go and use you to cover his whereabouts...... In that case, you say that I am on leave and go to Guilin with him. Remember: if he shows signs of defection, you have the right to shoot him! Seeing Liu Zezhi showing a hesitant look, Mao Renfeng's face stiffened: "What's wrong?" Afraid of danger? ”

"Reply to Mr. Mao's words: No. It's just a lieutenant under his subordinate, Team Leader Li is the leader of the lieutenant colonel, even if the military rank is nothing in the military command, but he is the veteran of the military command, Boss Dai's cadre, I will kill him...... This ......"

"Ridiculous! If Li Shiqun dares to defect, he will be a sinner of the party-state, and everyone will be punished! You can do it without your hands, and I will do everything. ”

The next morning, Liu Zezhi called to tell Li Shiqun that he could go with him, agreed on a time to leave, and before leaving, he opened the iron paper cabinet he used in the office, and in the drawer on the right side were several personal belongings: four gold bars, a jade and jade plaque with five blessings for longevity, and a yellowed family photo. In the photo, the family of four is smiling a little restrainedly, and the boy standing in the front row is less than ten years old, combing his head and missing two front teeth. Liu Zezhi carefully picked up the photo, looked at it for a long time, laughed silently, and then felt sour in his heart, he raised his head and didn't let the tears flow, he - he has no right to cry! The past is like smoke......

Four years ago in Shanghai, there were three burrows in the alleys. "Little brother, in addition to this house, Mom and Dad have left four gold bars and these two pieces of jewelry, you can take them to London. And this family photo, you take it with you. ”

"Sister, I'll take two gold bars, and Mr. Thomson said that he would arrange for me to work and study. These two gold bars and jewelry are left to you. In six years, I will definitely come back with a diploma of medical doctorate, and it is my responsibility. Don't forget your responsibility – marry yourself off. Six years later, we opened a hospital together, and the family was together and never separated again. ”

"Little brother, six years, a long time, my sister is not by your side, you have to take care of yourself."

"Sister, don't cry, don't worry, I'm twenty years old, I'm a man."

Shanghai Wharf. "Little brother, this is a double hemp baked cake made by my sister for you, take it to eat on the road."

In the warehouse of the ocean liner, when you open the baked cake wrapped in oil paper, two gold bars and a jade and jade plaque of five blessings and longevity are impressive! Sister, the sister who was only two years older than him, the only relative in the world left behind was a pair of jade bracelets left by his mother......

Two years later, in London, the bad news came, Nanjing slaughtered the city, and my sister happened to be ...... Liu Zezhi stood by the Thames all night without a single tear, and he had no right to cry at this moment...... The next day, I interrupted my studies and embarked on my return journey......
