Jiang Yue and the others were able to keep their composure, but Mr. Qing Ming became more and more guilty the longer they waited.
Even though Mr. Qing Ming and his deputy Mr. Ye are both resourceful people, the current situation inevitably makes them a little uneasy.
According to their plan, Luo Teng should have returned to the Operations Bureau headquarters long ago.
As the actual person in charge of the Operation Bureau, Luo Teng must sit at the headquarters most of the time and must not leave his post without authorization.
What's more, he said he would return within an hour or so.
The hour now has almost doubled, and I haven't seen him come back.
It looks like it's almost midnight. Is this guy staying up all night?
Based on Deputy Director Wu's understanding of Luo Teng, he is very responsible and will never be off duty all night unless there are special circumstances.
"Sir, did this man named Luo really notice something? Could it be that we made too much noise and alerted him? Or was it Jiang Yue who gave him a warning?" Mr. Ye couldn't help but feel a little suspicious at this moment.
"Hold on, he will definitely come back." Now that things have happened, Mr. Qing Ming is actually murmuring in his heart, but he knows that he must not lose control at this time.
As long as he is in chaos, the morale of the troops below will become even more unstable.
…
Time passed ruthlessly, and zero o'clock finally passed.
Jiang Yue almost held his watch and watched the pointer jump over zero, then patted Luo Teng gently: "Luo Ju, it's time for us to take action."
As Jiang Yue said this, he sent two mutual blessings to Luo Teng. One was the Earth Skill, and the other was the Copy Skill.
The reason why we wait for 0 o'clock is actually to wait for a new day and to encourage and wish for eight more opportunities.
The previous mutual encouragement and blessings have been almost exhausted.
And after 0 o'clock, it means ushering in a new cycle.
Having eight opportunities to share blessings also gave Jiang Yue more confidence.
Jiang Yue explained to Luo Teng the techniques of using ground skills and copy skills, and Luo Teng quickly mastered them.
With the help of earth magic, the two of them easily passed through Mr. Qing Ming's ambush circle.
Speaking of Mr. Qing Ming's side, it was only to ambush Jiang Yue and Luo Teng and catch them by surprise. It was not too carefully arranged and was mainly focused on ground operations.
With their strength, they actually have the ability to cover underground projects, but Mr. Qingming didn't think that Luo Teng would return through earth magic at all, and he didn't think about it at all.
This also allowed Jiang Yue and Luo Teng to easily return to the action bureau.
The two of them returned to Luo Teng's office without anyone noticing.
At present, there are no changes within the operations bureau. However, Luo Teng can still detect some situations through observation.
Because Xu Wenjie, the deputy director of Operations 5, is actually on duty tonight, and many team members from Operations 5 are also at the headquarters.
Xu Wenjie was single-handedly promoted by Deputy Director Wu, and he can almost be said to be Deputy Director Wu's die-hard loyalist.
"Luo Ju, this Xu Wenjie seems to be determined to follow the path of that man surnamed Wu." Luo Teng sighed.
"Haha, what we want is this Xu Wenjie, let's use him as a breakthrough."
If you capture Xu Wenjie unexpectedly, you will definitely get a lot of useful information.
"Luo Ju, I'm going to call Xu Wenjie over."
Xu Wenjie was also a little unable to sit still. Of course, he had received the latest instructions from Deputy Director Wu.
The reason why he couldn't sit still was not because Deputy Director Wu wanted to attack Luo Teng.
But why has there been no movement after such a long time?
Xu Wenjie himself was actually more anxious than Deputy Director Wu. He wished that Deputy Director Wu would take over tonight so that he could follow the rising tide in the Operations Bureau.
"Chapter Xu, the old director came for inspection. Bureau Luo is not here, and neither is Wu Bureau. The one who stays behind tonight is you, the highest ranking one. The old director is very angry and asked you to go over and give a reply!"
When Xu Wenjie was worrying about gains and losses, someone suddenly came to report from the office.
The old director came to inspect?
Xu Wenjie was shocked, why did this old guy come here in the middle of the night?
Zhou Yihao is now almost a Buddhist, and except for major events, he almost never shows up.
What are you so crazy about doing a random inspection tonight?
At this juncture, this old guy came at the wrong time.
However, Xu Wenjie knew that it would be impossible for him not to leave the current situation.
No matter how much he disdains the old director Zhou Yihao, he still needs to have the proper etiquette between superiors and subordinates.
The old director asked him to go over, but if he couldn't put on airs, it obviously couldn't be justified.
Reluctantly, he stood up and wondered whether he should first inform Deputy Director Wu about the inspection by the old director?
Thinking about it and worrying about disrupting Deputy Director Wu's deployment, Xu Wenjie decided to make a decision after meeting with the old director to see what the old guy wanted to do.
The old director's office was in the innermost room, but the man from the secretariat who was leading the way stopped in front of Luo Teng's office.
Xu Wenjie was stunned: "The old director is not in his office?"
"The old director was angry when he saw that Director Luo was not on duty. He was checking Director Luo's office and said he wanted to see if Director Luo was not doing his job properly."
This sounds a bit ridiculous, but Xu Wenjie didn't think too much about it.
He is not afraid of Luo Teng, but he is afraid of an old and fatuous Zhou Yihao?
Anyway, this old thing's time is running out. Once Deputy Director Wu takes power, this old thing will have to be moved sooner or later.
Pushing the door open and entering, a figure behind the computer leaned on the sliding chair, revealing the figure behind the monitor.
Xu Wenjie was immediately stunned.
What kind of director Zhou Hao is this?
This is clearly Luo Teng!
"You..." Xu Wenjie was shocked, and his body instinctively wanted to back out of the office.
But before he could retreat to the door, he was blocked by someone at the door. It was the person who notified him before.
"Xu Chu, why are you retreating?"
The man behind him was obviously Jiang Yue in disguise, blocking Xu Wenjie's retreat and asked calmly.
Xu Wenjie was already in a cold sweat at this moment. Although he didn't know what happened specifically, his intuition told him that something was wrong.
Why did Luo Teng show up in the office?
Didn’t he leave the action bureau?
When did he return? How did he get through the dragnet outside? There was no reason for Deputy Director Wu to let him return to the office easily, right?
Countless thoughts flashed through Xu Wenjie's mind, but he still couldn't come up with a clue.
"Xiao Xu, why, you seem a little nervous?" Luo Teng smiled meaningfully.
"Ah, no. I...I just didn't expect it was Director Luo who called me. Xiao Tang informed me that it was the old director who came to inspect..." After a period of panic, Xu Wenjie finally regained some composure.
However, looking at his state, it was obvious that he was still a little in a hurry, and his performance was much worse than usual.
"I asked him to say that. If I hadn't said that, would you have come?"
Xu Wenjie smiled bitterly and said: "Director Luo, what you said is that I am the deputy director of Operations Division 5. You are the director in charge of the Operations Bureau. I am a soldier under you. If you ask me to come over, can I still come?"
"
Luo Teng nodded lightly: "Maybe you will come, but before you come, you should inform Deputy Director Wu first, right?"
Xu Wenjie's face turned pale again and he stammered: "Director Luo, you are joking. Deputy Director Wu is not on duty tonight..."
"Yeah?"
Xu Wenjie said hurriedly: "You arranged the duty list yourself, Bureau Luo, you should be aware of it."
"Of course I know the duty schedule, but I can't stand Deputy Director Wu's strong sense of responsibility. If there is no shift for him, he takes the initiative to work overtime?"
"Haha, I don't understand what you're saying, Luo Ju." Xu Wenjie concealed it weakly.
At this moment, Xu Wenjie felt someone pat his back.
Then a voice behind him said: "Xu Chu, to be honest, I am very disappointed with your current performance. During the day, where did your momentum when you charged into battle for Deputy Director Wu and intercepted the kangaroo boss go?"
Xu Wenjie heard something was wrong with this voice and turned around quickly.
But he saw Jiang Yue return to his true self, looking at him with a half-smile.
"You...when did you come in?"
"It doesn't matter when I came in. What matters is that Xu Chu, you don't seem to know anything about your situation."
"What do you mean?" Xu Wenjie became obviously panicked, his eyes began to wander, and he looked out the door, obviously planning to escape at any time.
"Stop thinking nonsense. Even if I don't stop you, you can't leave this office." Jiang Yue warned lightly.
Xu Wenjie's expression changed completely and he said with a chuckle: "Luo Ju, you guys..."
Luo Teng sighed: "Xiao Xu, you are a person trained by the Action Bureau. How long has it been since Deputy Director Wu parachuted in, and you are so devoted to him that you even forgot your original intention of joining the Action Bureau?"
"Bureau Luo, I don't know what you are talking about. If you hate me because of what happened during the day, I have nothing to say. At worst, I won't be the deputy director, or even leave the Operations Bureau."
"Isn't it too late to leave now?" Jiang Yue asked coldly.
"Then what do you want to do? Do you want to kill me, the deputy director of the Operations Bureau, at the Operations Bureau headquarters? Even Director Yiyi Hao does not have this authority!"
"Tsk tsk, Luo Ju, did you see it? This is the face of a die-hard. He won't shed tears until he sees the coffin."
"Then let him see the coffin." Luo Teng said coldly.
Jiang Yue chuckled, played the confession video in front of Xu Wenjie, pointed to the window again, and said coldly: "Xu Wenjie, this is your last chance. I know that Deputy Director Wu led a group of desperadoes.
, ambushing you outside the headquarters of the Action Bureau. Unfortunately, these people can't save you. Now, the only one who can save you is yourself."
"Of course, if you must die for him, I admire you for being a man."
The cruel facts are before us, and even if Xu Wenjie wants to deny it, there is no way he can defend it.
How?
Everything said now is pale.
Deputy Director Wu's other identity has been known to others for a long time. Moreover, they are obviously planning a counterattack.
It's hard to say who will win in the end, but Xu Wenjie obviously can't pass this level right now.
Even if Deputy Director Wu mobilizes everyone to rush into the operations bureau, he can't save Xu Wenjie.
Xu Wenjie knew Jiang Yue's ability very well.
He knew that there was no way he could escape under Jiang Yue's eyes.
"I'll give you three minutes to think about whether you want to live or go all the way to the dark side. You have one more chance to choose. If you miss this chance, you can only be treated as a traitor."
The Action Bureau will not be merciful towards traitors. Especially in this strange era, what big deal is it to kill a handful of traitors?
Xu Wenjie's mood was as depressed as his face.
A minute later, Xu Wenjie sighed miserably: "I'm in trouble, I admit it. I was instructed by Deputy Director Wu to maintain the internal stability of the Operations Bureau. No matter how big things happen outside, I can't go out. He wants to be in the Operations Bureau
Snipe and kill Luo Ju outside the headquarters, and then frame you for the dark forces. After he takes power, his next goal is to take charge of Star City, thereby controlling the situation of the entire Star City."
"that's it?"
"No, no, and his other identity is indeed Mr. Qing Ming. He has an experimental base at Star City University to produce a kind of life spirit liquid, which seems to provide energy for a terrible force. Specifically, this terrible force
What it is, Deputy Director Wu didn’t say.”
"The Action Bureau has been discussing the topic of the weird tree recently. Don't you know?"
Xu Wenjie said hurriedly: "I have some guesses, but Deputy Director Wu refuses to reveal them, and I can't verify them."
Jiang Yue and Luo Teng didn't intend to dwell on this issue.
Instead, he asked: "What is the combat effectiveness of the dark forces he controls? What are the difficulties?"
Xu Wenjie shook his head and said: "I only know that there is Mr. Ye, who is his think tank. There is also a thug like a wooden stake, who seems to be the most capable. I don't know how much combat power he has. He is very cautious.
People from the two lines should be arranged as parallel lines as possible to prevent us from intersecting."
There are dark forces on one side and official forces on the other. Deputy Director Wu obviously intends to have both forces in his hands, but he is unwilling to have too many intersections between the two forces.
As a superior, this idea is quite reasonable.
"Xu Wenjie, how many people do the Operations Bureau have now?" Luo Teng suddenly asked.
"There are about a dozen basic security personnel. There are about fifteen or sixteen people in our fifth branch on duty. The combat personnel from other branches are basically outside. There are also some civilian personnel from non-operational departments. There should be more than forty people in total.
.”
In addition to civilian personnel, there are no more than thirty combatants, and most of them are from the Fifth Division.
This made Luo Teng somewhat depressed.
With such a personnel structure, it is impossible to counterattack effectively.
Jiang Yue chuckled: "Luo Ju, are you still stuck on the head-on approach? We are going to take down this damn Mr. Qing Ming tonight, but it will never be tough!"
"Xiao Jiang, what other countermeasures do you have?"
"It's very simple. Repeat the same trick. Just like how we deceived Xu Chu, we also deceived Deputy Director Wu."
"You mean, bring him here alone? This man has a cunning character. He will never come in alone in the middle of the night."
"If we call him, he will definitely not. If Xu Chu invites him, it will be hard to say."
Xu Wenjie hurriedly said: "Luo Bureau, do you trust me to go?"
Jiang Yue chuckled: "To be honest, we are really worried."
Xu Wenjie curled his lips and kept silent. He originally thought he had hope of escaping, but now it seems that it was just wishful thinking.
