After doing all this, Lu Ming felt that it was still not safe. Du Quan had to take care of it as soon as possible. It was a thunder that could explode at any time, so he couldn't be careless at all.
Lu Ming originally wanted An Gonggen to kill Du Quan quietly, but this would inevitably have the meaning of deceiving others. If we dig deeper, it is likely to draw fire to Du Juan, at least for the time being there is no need.
Lu Ming rented out half a floor of the Chinachem Hotel, which is now the temporary office of the Secret Intelligence Service.
Liu Qiwen also left the Fuxing Society and now becomes the confidential secretary of the Secret Intelligence Service and Lu Ming's personal secretary. Huang Yanning is the deputy director. The other candidates have not yet been determined. The first registered agent to take up the post is Du Juan.
Now the Secret Service has a brain and a prosthetic eye, but no torso or limbs, no hands or feet.
Regarding the candidates, Lu Ming's idea was to let nature take its course and never let the wolf enter the house.
He now has operational personnel, temporarily replaced by An Gonggen and his First Operations Brigade. These people now all work part-time in the Secret Intelligence Service and can receive double pay.
For An Gonggen and his people, this is naturally a dream come true. The same type of work can be done casually.
There are also many people in the Fuxing Society who are eager to get in touch with him, but Lu Ming has not agreed yet. He will still investigate them for a while.
The last thing Lu Ming wanted to see was for Dai Li's spies to break into the Secret Intelligence Service just after it was established. This might be inevitable in the future, but not now.
However, some people who Lu Ming likes in the Fuxing Club have begun to work part-time at his place, responsible for helping him collect intelligence.
Lu Ming has his own requirements. All information must not be shared with Fuxing Society. What the Secret Intelligence Service needs is exclusive information, which is also an important means of assessing the working ability of intelligence personnel.
Lu Ming returned to the Chinachem Hotel with a lot of worries. When he walked into the office, he saw An Gonggen already waiting for him there.
"Master Lu, I have captured the guy you mentioned." An Gonggen said excitedly.
"Ah, you are moving so fast. Which room is he in?" Lu Ming asked.
"They are being held in that utility room." An Gonggen said, getting up and walking inside.
The Secret Intelligence Service bought a lot of office supplies, and some that were not used temporarily were piled in a room and taken as needed.
Lu Ming rented out a room in the expensive Chinachem Hotel to store sundries. It can only be said that he is too rich and willful. There are not many people in Shanghai who are so prodigal.
Lu Ming followed An Gonggen to this room. There was a person sitting on a chair inside. When he saw them coming in, he jumped up and stood up.
"Mr. Du, do you know Mr. Lu?" An Gonggen said coldly.
"I know you, I know you. Who doesn't know Master Lu in Shanghai?" Du Quan hurriedly took off the hat on his head, then bent down and bowed, his head almost touching the ground.
Lu Ming looked at him curiously. This man looked very upright in appearance, with upright eyebrows. He was estimated to be in his thirties, of medium height. Although his clothes were not very particular, he was also very neat and tidy.
It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance. When such a person walks on the street, looking bright and elegant, who would have expected that he would be a traitor.
Lu Ming has met many Communists, and he admires most of them, especially Mr. Dong and An Yi. In addition, there are also many underground party leaders imprisoned in Fuxingshe Prison, but they all remain silent.
Prepare to sit through the bottom of the prison.
Although Lu Ming had different views from these people in some aspects, he still admired them, especially the sacrificial spirit of martyrs in them.
When this sacrificial spirit is reflected in others, he feels great, but when it is reflected in the people around him, such as Du Juan, although he does not reject it, he cannot accept it for a while.
Lu Ming knew that this was a typical example of Mr. Ye's love for dragons, but he had no choice. As a bystander and even an ally, he admired and admired the strong will of the Communists, but he couldn't do it himself, and he didn't want the people close to him to do it.
Do it.
"Mr. Du, sit down, we didn't meet last time when you were a guest at Fuxing Club, but we finally met this time." Lu Ming sat down first, then pointed to the chair with a smile and said.
"I... better stand." Du Quan looked at the chair and wanted to sit but didn't dare.
"Sit down, I don't have many rules, so I'd better sit down and talk." Lu Ming crossed his legs, waved his hands and said with a smile.
Lu Ming didn't sound like he was being polite when he spoke. Du Quan sat down cautiously, not daring to sit down. His butt was touching the corner of the chair, and his body was still half hanging, as if he would jump up if there was any disturbance.
.
"Well, serve tea to Mr. Du." Lu Ming said.
"You're welcome, Master Lu, I don't usually drink tea." Du Quan said with fear.
"You should know, right? Master Lu is now the director of the Secret Intelligence Division of the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense, with the rank of major general." An Gonggen said coquettishly.
"I didn't know before, but now I know. Congratulations, Master Lu." Du Quan stood up again and bowed his hands.
"There is nothing exciting. They are all doing things for the party and the country. Isn't Mr. Du also contributing to the party and the country now?" Lu Ming said with a smile.
"That's it, that's it. I didn't know right from wrong before and went astray. Now I finally have the opportunity to correct my evil ways and turn to the bright side." Du Quan said flatteringly, with a dry smile on his face.
"That's good. It doesn't matter if a person takes the wrong path, as long as he can correct it in time and get on the right path. Mr. Du, do you think I am right?" Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, Chief Dai and Chief Weng also enlightened me in this way, so I can regret my past mistakes. I will always bear in mind the kindness of all officers." Du Quan said, bursting into tears with gratitude.
"Okay, I'm going to get angry at you because of your character. Stop acting. You just got caught and rebelled because you knew you couldn't stand the torture. That's all."
An Gonggen couldn't stand it anymore and immediately blocked him with words. Du Quan took a peek at An Gonggen who looked fierce and did not dare to cry anymore.
An Gonggen has no hostility or hatred towards the Communist Party. On the contrary, many of his compatriots are fighting side by side with the Communist Party in the white mountains and black waters to resist the Japanese invaders.
A few days ago, a fellow from the Northeast came to Shanghai to purchase goods. He told him about the anti-Japanese situation in the Northeast, which made An Gonggen's blood boil.
The fellow told him that the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation was an anti-Japanese organization led by the Communist Party. The heroic sons and daughters of North Korea stood with them and fought shoulder to shoulder against the Japanese.
Thinking of this, Du Quan, the traitor to the Communist Party, really disgusted him.
"Captain An, you can't say that. Mr. Du can realize his mistakes and repent, which is different from those Communists who refuse to repent. We welcome talents like Mr. Du, the more the better.
." In order to stabilize Du Quan, Lu Ming could only say things he didn't mean.
"That is, thank you for your teachings, sirs, and thank the government for being accommodating to those of us who have gone astray and giving us a chance to start a new life. We will definitely contribute to the government and the sirs, and help the government eradicate the Communist Party.
It's a cancer." Du Quan said with determination.
Lu Ming nodded, despising this person in his heart, and couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Du Quan was different from Hou Liang. Hou Liang endured all the torture tools of the Fuxing Society and was tortured to a terrible state, but he did not confess anyone and was prepared to die.
In the end, Dai Li used his family to force him to become a traitor against his will. Lu Ming felt that there was something respectable about Hou Liang, at least he was a strong-willed man, so he was willing to help his woman and son escape.
Hou Liang was unwilling to become a traitor and wanted to find someone to support him before he died, so he shot Weng Bailing in the hope of dying with his opponent. Although his goal was not achieved, it still showed his intentions.
Du Quan was different. He confessed directly without formal interrogation. He was not tortured, and he had no family members who could be exploited by his opponents. He was just afraid of death and pain, and he also wanted to enjoy glory and wealth.
No matter which party or organization they belong to, such people are scum and must be eliminated quickly.
Lu Ming felt a sense of sadness. Facing such a scum, he had to make excuses with him. He said words that he didn't mean, and he also felt a little disgusted.
But in order to get rid of the rope wrapped around Du Juan's neck, Lu Ming had to humiliate himself and use himself as bait to get Du Quan to take the bait.
Of course An Gonggen knew Lu Ming's intentions and would naturally cooperate with him, but from time to time there was a surge of anger in his heart, and he wanted to step forward and give Du Quan a slap in the ears.
All this is in Lu Ming's eyes, but this scene must go on.
Lu Ming was afraid that An Gonggen would not be able to control his emotions, so he said: "Captain An, please bring us two bottles of Coke. Mr. Du will be thirsty just talking."
An Gonggen knew that this was Lu Ming's trick, so he could only stare, puff his mouth, and go out angrily.
