In Shanghai Station, Chen Shu sat at the head of the conference room. Apart from the leaders of the action team and the intelligence team, the only ones left next to him were the four team leaders who had been kicked off.
"What do you mean you haven't come to work during this period?"
Chen Shu was the first to attack, asking about the four team leaders. It was true that they had never been here, but their identities were still in the Military Intelligence Department, at the Shanghai Station.
Not coming to work means being absent from work without excuse.
Bai Yuan's eyes immediately showed resentment. Why didn't they come to work? Weren't they forced by you?
The dignified team leader has no position at all now. What are they doing here? Is it embarrassing?
"Webmaster, it's not that we won't come, but there is nothing we need to do in the station. We were team leaders before, so aren't we afraid of affecting the work of the new team leader?"
Shi Tongshan, the former telecommunications team leader, first concluded that the four team leaders had some opinions in their hearts, but Chen Shu was too strong and did not dare to express them.
"What you said makes sense, but that's not the reason for your absence from work."
Chen Shu waved his hand, and the four of them said nothing, all with their heads lowered.
"Now I'll give you a chance to prove yourself."
Chen Shu said slowly, and the four of them were stunned. Is Chen Shu a reformed person, and would he actually give them a chance?
"I don't care about your background, I only look at your ability. If you do well, I will use you. If you do not do well, don't blame me for being rude. Even if you were the team leader before, you will be a soldier for me in the future, otherwise I will not forgive you.
You."
His words made the four of them sigh inwardly and curse continuously, but they did not dare to express any dissatisfaction.
You also said that no matter where you were, why did you promote your people and remove us all when you came to Shanghai Station?
Standing and talking without pain in the back, you can act like a bitch and stand up at the same time.
What do you mean by giving us a chance? Are you really so kind and really give us a chance? I'm afraid you are using this reason to beat us and make us obedient, so as to show your authority.
The four of them dared not speak out in anger, and they all lowered their heads.
"There are four tasks here. Each of you will perform one task. If you perform it well, I won't say that you will be reinstated, but at least you will be given a position that matches your military rank. If you do not do well, it means that you are not capable, so you will be given a job.
I will start from scratch honestly."
No matter what they think, Chen Shu still shows his strength.
This is normal. There is no reason why he won't give these people a chance, otherwise it will only arouse suspicion, which is not in line with his temperament.
At present, in addition to Bai Yuan, the other three team leaders are still available, especially the general affairs team leader Zhong Yuanjiang.
"Let the drawing begin now."
After Chen Shu finished speaking, Feng Qun brought a box with four envelopes inside, representing the four tasks for assessing them.
Feng Qun walked up to them and signaled Zhong Yuanjiang to smoke first.
Zhong Yuanjiang had no choice but to take out the top envelope.
Next is Shitongshan, and finally Bai Yuan. When Bai Yuan comes here, he has no choice.
The so-called drawing of lots is just a matter of situation. In fact, the tasks of each of them have been arranged in advance. Feng Qun's box has a mechanism. No matter how the first Zhong Yuanjiang is drawn, it will be the task.
The contents of the four letters are exactly the same. There are compartments inside the box, and each compartment will be changed after each person has finished.
After replacing the next person, the contents of the three envelopes are the same. As long as the order of the lottery is controlled, they have the final say as to who the four tasks are assigned to.
But the four of them didn't know that and really thought it was a fair draw.
"Each of you has a separate task. You cannot tell others and must keep it secret. Each of you will be given three days. After three days, you will come to me to report the results and let the meeting end."
After Chen Shu finished speaking, he left directly, once again showing his strength.
The others followed and left, leaving only Bai Yuan and four others in the conference room.
You look at me and I look at you. Zhong Yuanjiang first said: "Even if it is to make things difficult, there is nothing we can do. Just accept your fate. I will leave first."
Zhong Yuanjiang left with his envelope, and others went out one after another. In the end, only Bai Yuan was left.
Bai Yuan hesitated and opened his envelope directly.
"Exploring the checkpoint situation in the Japanese Concession."
The content was very simple. Bai Yuan was a little confused at first, and soon his face was full of anger.
This task doesn't seem difficult. He just wants to inquire about the situation at the checkpoint. But he has only one person now and no subordinates available. If he wants to complete the task, he must go there and inquire about it himself.
There are more than one checkpoints in Japan. If he goes to every one, he will easily be targeted by the Japanese.
Moreover, the checkpoints in the Japanese Concession are not only on the edge, but also inside. If he wants to detect them all, he must find a way to sneak into the Japanese Concession.
This makes it easier to be discovered. If caught by the Japanese, he will die.
Chen Shu is vicious and wants to use a Japanese knife to kill some of their unsightly team leaders. At this time, he believes that the other three are the same as him and are the targets Chen Shu wants to get rid of.
"Chen Shu, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
Bai Yuan's eyes flashed with determination, and he stood up and strode out of the conference room. He would not let Chen Shu's conspiracy succeed, and he would fight for a way out for himself.
But in the Military Intelligence Department, Chen Shu obviously gave him no way to survive. Even if he was lucky enough to complete the mission this time, Chen Shu would use various methods to plot his death in the future.
Resigning and leaving is even more impossible.
The Military Intelligence Department is not an ordinary department. There is no talk of resignation here. Unless the energy is very high, you can only go out sideways.
Chen Shu now forced him to have no choice but to agree to the Japanese conditions.
He was forced, all because of Chen Shu. Until now, Bai Yuan has never thought about his fault.
Yesterday, Kitajima Kawasuke found him again. This time he stopped talking nonsense and told his purpose.
Sure enough, they wanted to instigate him to rebel and make him serve the Japanese.
At that time, Bai Yuan refused, but Kitajima Kawasuke did not give up or threaten him. Instead, he helped him analyze the current situation.
His backstage has collapsed, he is not popular in the military intelligence office, and Chen Shu is a strong person. Sooner or later, he will take action against him and get rid of these unsightly bugs.
Only cooperation with the Japanese is his only way out.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Japan is very powerful, much more powerful than China, and can provide it with more security guarantees.
Bai Yuan didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either, saying he would consider it.
Looking at it now, Kitajima Kawasuke was right in everything he said. Chen Shu was really ambitious and wanted to kill them, so he deliberately used the task form.
This seemingly simple, but very dangerous task can kill people invisible.
Insidious, cunning, and vicious, this is Bai Yuan's evaluation of Chen Shu.
He didn't want to die. He had never considered defecting to the Japanese before, but now the situation was different. Chen Shu would not let him live. Only by defecting to the Japanese could he continue to live.
He wants revenge, revenge on Chen Shu, and wants Chen Shu, the webmaster, to step down.
He will continue to stay in the Military Intelligence Department. With the help of the Japanese, it will be easy to make meritorious deeds in the future. If Chen Shu is defeated, he may be able to take over as the station chief in the future.
After becoming the webmaster, although he cannot escape the control of the Japanese, the greater his power, the greater his effect on the Japanese, and the Japanese will only value him more.
Bai Yuan did not go home, but went to a public phone booth far away from Shanghai Station and dialed a number.
This phone number was left to him by Kitajima Kawasuke, asking him to contact him at any time after thinking about it. Bai Yuan accepted the phone number at that time, but he didn't expect to use this number so soon.
He didn't know that everything he did was clearly seen in the dark.
"Check and see who he called."
Feng Qun received the news and immediately issued an order. After the other three team leaders got the envelope, some opened it on the road, some went home directly, and no one made a call.
The four team leaders all have telephones in their homes. Why do they need to be so secretive about traveling so far to call a public phone booth?
In his eyes, Bai Yuan's behavior was simply deceiving others.
The phone number was quickly checked out and it turned out to be the Japanese Concession.
Feng Qun snorted coldly. This was Bai Yuan's own choice. Although they helped to push the situation, he would not have done so if he reported it at the beginning or did not take the Japanese money.
Everything in the end can be said to have been brought about by him.
In the French Concession, He Nian took personal command at the surveillance point.
This house is a bit far away from Vice-Chancellor Tang's residence. He has no choice. This is not Nanjing, and it is not a place where he can do whatever he wants.
There are all single-family villas near the mansion where Tang Ci lives, and there is no way to rent a suitable surveillance point.
He settled for the next best thing and rented three places as surveillance points on the only way out of Deputy Chief Tang's home. At the same time, he sent people disguised as various identities to pass by Deputy Chief Tang's home from time to time to conduct inspections.
First find out the travel patterns of Deputy Chief Tang, and then make an assassination plan.
They are here to kill, not to commit suicide. The plan must be careful. This is the French Concession, the territory of the French. After the assassination is successful, they must evacuate immediately and cannot leave themselves here.
As a result, there are great restrictions on them.
In Nanjing, after Sima Lin confessed, the case was completely over. It took Chu Lingyun two days to write the closing report. Since He Nian was not around, he could only find Yuan Shouwang, the deputy section chief.
"Ling Yun, you are a rare visitor."
Seeing Chu Lingyun, Yuan Shouwang immediately stood up from behind his desk, laughed and came over to greet him.
In the Operations Department, Yuan Shouwang's presence is not strong, while He Nian is a strong section chief. He Nian is very tight on all matters of the Operations Department.
But Chu Lingyun has never underestimated the deputy section chief. Last time, he gave Yuan Shouwang a big red envelope on his father's birthday.
Yuan Shouwang is a Virgo, and he comes from the same place as Virgo.
He is usually low-key, but that doesn't mean he can be ignored. Anyone who despises him will definitely be in trouble.
"Chief Yuan, I'm really sorry. There were so many things going on before that I didn't dare to disturb you."
Chu Lingyun smiled and apologized, but Yuan Shouwang didn't care and pulled him to sit on the sofa.
"This case was beautifully done. Sima Lin lurked so deep and was so cautious. I didn't expect you to catch him and find out everything he did." After reading the closing report, Yuan Shouwang said with a smile. "It's all thanks to the hard work of my colleagues in the Operations Department that we have achieved this success."
Chu Lingyun said modestly, Zhu Qing had made a great contribution to arresting Sima Lin this time. Regardless of luck or not, Sima Lin was captured by his own hands after all.
If they hadn't responded promptly, Sima Lin might have escaped.
Sima Lin is the most important person in this case. If he is allowed to run away, this case will be greatly stained and it will not have the current credit.
"You, don't be humble, come on, I'll take you to see Virgo."
Yuan Shouwang laughed, and took the closing report with Chu Lingyun to ask for a meeting.
Sima Lin's case brought out two big traitors, He Yuanhua and Deputy Chief Tang, especially Deputy Chief Tang. His defection shocked many people.
If Deputy Chief Tang is caught before he defectes, it will be an unprecedented achievement for the Military Intelligence Department.
It's a pity that these two idiots, He Nian and Xu Yi, actually messed up.
After reading the closing report, the director felt a little sad. He was thinking, if Deputy Chief Tang had been handed over to Chu Lingyun to investigate alone from the beginning, would there not have been such a result?
When it comes to handling cases, Chu Lingyun does have a keenness and ability that others do not have.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine. Moreover, Deputy Chief Tang has a special status. It is impossible for Chu Lingyun, a team leader, to investigate this case alone.
"Ling Yun, you did a good job. You have made great achievements this time. It's a pity that your military rank cannot be promoted in the short term. If you want anything, just ask."
Virgo looked at Chu Lingyun, Yuan Shouwang was startled by his words.
How could Virgo be so generous if he just asked for what he wanted? This was tantamount to letting Chu Lingyun propose the reward himself.
Moreover, as long as Chu Lingyun dares to say it, it is not too difficult, Virgo will definitely agree.
He can't be promoted in military rank, and he has made a lot of money himself. He certainly won't ask for money, so what else can he ask for?
There is only one thing left, position.
Chu Lingyun is now the team leader. If promoted, he will only be the deputy section chief. If Chu Lingyun really wants to be the deputy section chief, what will he do?
Should I give it to Chu Lingyun, or should the Operations Section have two deputy section chiefs?
Yuan Shouwang thought a lot, but Chu Lingyun shook his head: "Virgo has great love, and humble positions do not require rewards."
Virgo's reward seems good, but it's a trap.
There are not many things he can ask for. If he seeks promotion, Yuan Shouwang is a Virgo. It is impossible to give up his position to him. He can only go elsewhere.
In fact, there are very few places where he can go. It is definitely impossible to go to the General Affairs Department and the Telecommunications Department. The Director will not agree to let a crime-solving talent like him go to these departments that are not directly involved in the case.
There is only one place left, go to the Intelligence Department to take over Xie Ziqi's position and become the deputy section chief of the Intelligence Department.
If he really brought it up, Xu Yi would probably laugh out loud.
After the New Year, people will resent him, and the entire Operations Department will not treat him well. His foundation is in the Operations Department, and even being a team leader here is better than being a deputy section chief in the Intelligence Department.
So he didn't mention any rewards.
"You,"
Virgo shook his head and smiled. Yes, very good. He is not proud of taking credit. He offered to give him a reward and let him choose. Chu Lingyun actually refused.
This is an excellent promotion opportunity. Once you become the deputy section chief, your future will be even brighter.
It was a bit beyond his expectation that Chu Lingyun could refuse such a temptation.
"I will remember the credit for this time first, and we will reward you together later."
Virgo's words can be regarded as a summary of this case. It's not that there is no reward for merit, but there is nothing to reward.
As these achievements accumulate, he will definitely be rewarded accordingly in the future.
"Thank you, Virgo."
Chu Lingyun hurriedly thanked him, and Yuan Shouwang also breathed a sigh of relief. He Nian was right. Chu Lingyun was a very discerning person and did not take the opportunity to seize his position.
But now he really felt a sense of crisis. Now that Chu Lingyun didn't want it, he, the deputy section chief, would have to ask Xian sooner or later.
Even though he is a fellow Virgo, he knows very well that no one can block Chu Lingyun's promotion path.
He has to make plans for himself in advance. Taking advantage of the fact that the Operations Section has made a lot of achievements recently, he has also been able to share some of the profits and find a way to find a position as section chief.
In this case, Chu Lingyun will be promoted, he will move forward smoothly, and everyone will be happy.
After the case closing report was submitted, although Chu Lingyun would not receive much reward, the rewards for his subordinates would be generous. With a wave of his hand, the director approved all the promotion reports submitted by Chu Lingyun.
They are all promoted to lieutenants, and the military department will not hold them back.
The one who gained the most was Ni Loach. He was promoted to lieutenant not long ago, but his continuous meritorious service allowed him to be promoted to captain again.
After knowing that he was going to be promoted, Niluo danced happily. Unfortunately, no one wanted to watch his dance. Chu Lingyun slapped him on the head and he stopped dancing.
The most correct decision Ni Loach made in his life was to hug Chu Lingyun's lap early.
In just over half a year, he was directly promoted from a top soldier to a captain. This promotion was as fast as taking a plane.
Loach's gains didn't stop there. After being promoted to captain, he was given the concurrent role of the deputy leader of the fourth action group who had been vacant.
It’s not a problem that the deputy team leader has always been vacant. Let Loach occupy the position as soon as possible. Although there will be no arrangements for people to come in during the New Year, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
Chu Lingyun will not waste such a good opportunity.
Loach's successive promotions were not only based on Sima Lin's case, but also on the previous Nakamura Risa case and the accumulation of previous cases.
With so much credit, as a deputy team leader, others won’t say anything.
Shen Hanwen felt uncomfortable. He and Ni Loach were both ordinary members of the action team in Wuhan. Now Ni Loach has been promoted to captain, and he is still a lieutenant.
Not only that, Loach also became his boss.
But this time he was not jealous. He understood that he had done many wrong things before. The team leader still trusted him. It was a rare thing that he was not thrown out. He could not live up to the trust of the team leader. He would make more contributions in the future and strive for Promote your rank to captain as soon as possible.
Chu Yuan has also made meritorious service. No one else is here, but the reward will not be less.
Chu Yuan was not promoted to military rank and his position remained unchanged, but after making so many contributions, Chu Lingyun helped him apply for a fifth-class Yunhui Medal.
He is also the second person to be awarded a medal after Chu Lingyun.
The remaining team members received more rewards.
There are 120 people in the fourth operation group. Thirty-six people were promoted to second lieutenants this time. This promotion is so large that it is the first time for the Military Intelligence Department.
Including the team members who were previously promoted to second lieutenants, half of the members of the fourth operation team are now officers.
Their officer ratio is the highest in the entire operations department.
The other teams are jealous, but they are convinced. With such great achievements, they can’t even be promoted to a military rank. Who will have the enthusiasm for work in the future?
The rewards came quickly. After all the members were commended, Chu Lingyun booked a big hotel and hosted a banquet for all the team members to celebrate. The leaders and deputy leaders of the other three action groups also accepted the invitation. Since He Nian was not here, Yuan Shouwang helped host it.
Zhu Qing is the person who supports Chu Lingyun the most, and he also has a share of the reward this time.
Although it was not a big deal, four people in his team were promoted to second lieutenants. For catching Sima Lin, he also received a reward of one thousand French coins.
This result made Zhu Qing smile crookedly.
"The section chief is not here, so you just feed me."
At the main table, Yuan Shouwang sat at the head of the table. As a result, the four team leaders took turns, making him dizzy after drinking.
"Chief Yuan, even if the section chief is here, you still drink a lot."
Liu Wannian laughed. Yuan Shouwang usually does not hold power and has good relations with several team leaders. He would not dare to do this in front of New Year greetings.
"Yeah, I get drunk every time by you guys. OK, I'll drink. I can't help but drink when I'm happy."
Yuan Shouwang laughed and cursed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"So lively?"
The door of the private room was suddenly opened, and everyone in the private room froze when they saw the person coming in.
The people in the private room are all the team leaders and deputy team leaders of each group. Except for Loach, who is also the team leader, the other team leaders are not qualified to come to this table.
Two people came in, and the leader was obviously Virgo.
"Virgo, why are you here?"
Yuan Shouwang stood up in a hurry. This was a celebration banquet for their operations department. Strictly speaking, it was a celebration banquet for the fourth operation group.
How could a celebration banquet for an action team alarm Virgos?
"I happened to be passing by here. I heard that you were celebrating, so I came over to take a look."
Virgo came in with Secretary Qi, and Yuan Shouwang hurriedly gave up his seat. Virgo sat down unceremoniously. Secretary Qi sat down on the left, and Yuan Shouwang hurriedly went to the right.
Next to Secretary Qi was Chu Lingyun, and he gave Chu Lingyun a friendly smile.
Virgo was just passing by. He learned that the four teams of the operation were holding a celebration banquet today, and came here specifically to cheer for Chu Lingyun.
Virgo has never done this kind of thing many times, and he will only come forward unless there is really a big achievement to celebrate.
As for the team-level celebration banquet, this is the first time for Virgo to participate in it.
As soon as Virgo came, the others didn't dare to speak or take a breath. The lively scene just now fell silent.
"Virgo, I would like to toast you and thank you for your continued care of our operations department."
Yuan Shouwang stood up hurriedly. He is the deputy section chief and will not be here during the New Year. He must assume the responsibility of the operations section and cannot really be left alone.
"Okay, I wish you new achievements in the Action Department."
Virgo picked up the wine glass and took a sip with a smile, but did not finish the drink.
"Virgo, I would also like to toast you and thank you for coming to visit us in person."
Chu Lingyun stood up immediately. Today is the celebration banquet of the fourth group of Operations. It is his home field. After Yuan Shouwang, he must continue to make a statement.
No matter why Virgo comes here, if he comes in person, it is equivalent to expressing support for the four action groups.
Chu Lingyun understands this very well, and this glass of wine must be toasted.
"Full."
Virgo smiled slightly, and Secretary Qi next to him immediately filled up his wine glass.
Chu Lingyun went first as a sign of respect, and Virgo drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Seeing this scene, everyone understood that Virgo was passing by, and he clearly came here deliberately to cheer.
Without looking at Deputy Section Chief Yuan's toast, Virgo only took a small sip. As soon as Chu Lingyun toasted, Virgo drank it immediately. Don't underestimate the half glass of wine. This is the difference in the weight in your heart.
