That night, Ye Gongjin received a call from Huang Fenglin. The situation Huang Fenglin told him made him confused.
"Director Ye, tonight, that is, an hour ago, Zuo Shaoqing met with Metz in her private room in the revolving door. They talked for a long time, and I felt very strange."
Ye Gongjin was even more surprised. Zuo Shaoqing was a person who had seen the beginning but not the end of the dragon, which had puzzled him for a long time.
"Director Ye, there is another situation that I think is not good."
"What? You said."
"I once quietly sent someone to install a bug in her private room. However, it had no effect at all. I sent someone later and it was removed. I was worried that she might have noticed me.
"
This is another thing that worries Ye Gongjin. Zuo Shaoqing has met Huang Fenglin at No. 9 Nanfu Lane. If she realizes that Huang Fenglin is secretly monitoring her, I wonder what she will do.
He said: "Brother Fenglin, please continue, but be more careful. We have to find the locust tree, but we can't be pinched by others. I feel that we are in a competition, who can move faster."
When Ye Gongjin put down the phone, he really wanted to meet Metz and ask him what his relationship was with Zuo Shaoqing and who he was. However, what he was not sure about was whether this Metz could
Will tell him the truth. He hesitates because of this.
Huang Fenglin told him on the phone that Zuo Shaoqing had left the revolving door. But instead of going home, he returned to the station. This was another strange thing for him. He was thinking about whether to go to Zuo Shaoqing.
In the office, what on earth is she doing?
At this time, Zuo Shaoqing had just returned to the office. It was already dark at this time, and the Secrecy Bureau building was very quiet. She sat at her desk, took out the recording from her purse, and read it carefully.
This is a standard ninety-minute audio tape. But the length of the tape has obviously been shortened. She estimated that there is at most half an hour of recording. There are two lines of words written on the label on the bottom of the tape, which are handwritten in English. ell.
She guessed that this might be Mace's handwriting. Bastard, he should be able to write.
Zuo Shaoqing got up and found an English-Chinese dictionary from the bookcase and translated it word by word. She finally understood that the first line was the date and specific time. The second line was the location: Single Room No. 16 of the International Party Club. She understood
, which is the time and place of the recording.
She took out a tape recorder from the cabinet, put the tape on it, and pressed the play button.
She was surprised that this recording was actually a recording of a conversation between Metz and Ye Gongjin.
The entire recording was very brief, only about ten minutes. She guessed that the recording might have been abridged.
The recording started with greetings and courtesy between the two parties. Then, Metz made an unceremonious request regarding the release of Hou Lianhai. Metz asked Ye Gongjin to cooperate, and his subordinates would submit a supervision report to him. After he received it,
, you need to sign the agreement and finally submit it to Mr. Mao Renfeng.
Zuo Shaoqing listened to it several times, but she still didn't understand how such a recording could guarantee her safety? However, this was Metz's own recording of the conversation. He actually took out the recording of his conversation with Ye Gongjin.
It must have some special meaning. But she couldn't think of any special meaning.
I want to say something special: It will take some time for Zuo Shaoqing to understand the horror of this conversation recording. This is a conversation recording that can kill people!
One thing Zuo Shaoqing vaguely understood was that Metz used such a thing to ensure her safety. It must be of extraordinary importance and cannot be lost. So, where could she hide it?
A safer place should be placed with Du Ziyuan. In addition, she should also let Du Ziyuan listen to it, maybe he can hear the key points. She held the recording in her hand and turned it over and over.
At this time, Ye Gongjin finally left his office and walked towards Zuo Shaoqing's office. The corridor was very quiet. He turned into the wing, and only Zuo Shaoqing's office was still lit. His steps were light and direct.
Walking to the door of Zuo Shaoqing's office, he paused and opened the door directly.
Zuo Shaoqing raised her head and slowly went to her drawer. She stood up and looked at Ye Gongjin warily. She asked: "Director, you haven't left yet, are you okay?"
Ye Gongjin smiled and said, "You haven't left either? I turned around and saw that the lights were still on here, so I came in. What are you busy with?"
"I'm not busy with anything. I haven't received the briefing that Qiuyue sent me in the evening." She pointed to the folder in front of her. "I don't know what's going on with the team's surveillance, so I'll give it a try when I get back."
"What's going on?" Ye Gongjin looked at her carefully.
"No. Director, there's nothing going on at all. The three people I've been watching have made no movement at all."
"What makes you feel that way?"
Zuo Shaoqing was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "Maybe, they feel the danger."
Ye Gongjin instantly understood what Zuo Shaoqing meant. This was an accusation against him, thinking that what he did in the small conference room of the Ministry of National Defense had alarmed them.
Ye Gongjin didn't want to continue talking. As a commander, he realized that the problem was caused by his own mistakes and didn't want to continue talking. "If you continue, I judge that that person will definitely start moving again. Go home."
"Yes, I'll leave now." Zuo Shaoqing said softly.
That night, Zuo Shaoqing took the tape home. She found a hard-cover book, hollowed out the pages, and put the tape in. She knew that this could only be a temporary measure.
Zuo Shaoqing was restless and couldn't sleep well all night.
On this night, there was another person who did not sleep well. He was Wang Zhenqing, commander of the 97th Division.
For more than two months, his heart has been dragged by two forces: the country on one side and the Communist Party on the other.
Two months ago, in a fit of enthusiasm, he met with Mrs. Meng, an important leader of the Communist Party. Although the meeting was interrupted by an unexpected situation, and the Communist Party lost one person because of it. However, there were two things that made it difficult for him.
forget.
The first thing that made him unforgettable was Mrs. Meng. He didn't know her name. Du Ziyuan only introduced: "This is Mrs. Meng. I want to have a chat with you and exchange ideas. You talk, I will be there
next door."
Mrs. Meng is an intellectual woman at first glance, with a humble attitude and elegant demeanor. Her voice is not high and her tone is soothing, but when she talks about the country's economic decline, people's livelihood difficulties, and the corruption of high-ranking officials, her words are like a heavy hammer.
It struck a chord in Wang Zhenqing's heart, which also made him speechless and unable to speak the right words.
The second one that made him unforgettable was Du Ziyuan. While he and Mrs. Meng were talking for a long time, an accident happened, and spies came upon hearing the news. Du Ziyuan took his time and told them in a low voice what they should do, and then sent them away separately.
When he finally accompanied Wang Zhenqing down the fire staircase, Wang Zhenqing and Du Ziyuan both saw the dead man lying on the ground through the small opening. Du Ziyuan looked at the man's eyes, which vaguely made Wang Zhenqing realize that he was by no means an ordinary person.
, he should be an aspect person.
Later, Mrs. Meng had two long conversations with him. Wang Zhenqing clearly felt that despite his careful precautions, he was still "bewitched" and he noticed that his inner thoughts had changed.
But, but! Wang Zhenqing still knows that the bend in his heart has not been reversed. His current status, his glory and wealth all come from the government of the Republic of China. His current position as division commander was personally selected and appointed by the Chairman of the Standing Committee.
With his character, how could he fail the Republic of China and the Chairman of the General Committee?
After long and careful consideration, he found that his doubts and hesitations actually only came from one point: Can he really conquer the world? He couldn't believe it.
So, when Mrs. Meng smiled and asked: "Mr. Wang, are you willing to stand on our side?" At this time, he played a trick. He said: "When can your army reach the Yangtze River? It may be difficult.
Well. If your army really reaches the Yangtze River, I will definitely consider this matter seriously."
There was a trace of sarcasm hidden in his words. The strength of the Republic of China government is much greater than yours. Can you do it?
Mrs. Meng's eyes were soft, with a slight smile on her face, and she said softly: "Mr. Wang, I can understand what you mean. Twenty years ago, or even ten years ago, we did not expect that today would happen. We sincerely look forward to it.
Mr. Wang will stand with us."
But, but! Just as Mrs. Meng's words imply, the situation is developing so fast that it is completely beyond his expectation. The Northeast has been surrounded. He is a soldier, and he knows very well that if there is no way to survive in the Northeast, the Northeast will be lost. If the Northeast is lost,
, North China cannot be saved. This is the trend. Once North China is lost, God! The Communist Army has actually reached the Yangtze River.
When Wang Zhenqing thought of this, he felt an uncontrollable anxiety in his heart. He needed to make a decision for this.
He now has another troublesome matter. Zhang Nairen's daughter was arrested. For the sake of his daughter, Zhang Nairen once visited the house in person and asked him to help rescue him. Zhang Nairen is his old friend, and out of loyalty, he also wanted to lend a helping hand. However,
, he asked people to help him twice, but he hit a wall both times.
A few days ago, Du Ziyuan also mentioned the rescue of Zhang Yalan to him, hoping that he could help.
Wang Zhenqing knew that this was a very difficult matter. Zhang Yalan's Communist Party identity was arguable. However, he had been influenced by Mrs. Meng and he had understood the current situation. For the sake of the future, he still wanted to rescue Zhang Yalan
Try your best on this matter.
Surprisingly, he received a call from Mr. Jiang yesterday and invited him to his home for tea. This morning, he went to visit him specially. He and Mr. Jiang have a very good personal relationship. He can be appointed as the commander of the 97th Division.
Jiang Gongzi's result. Therefore, he could not talk to Jiang Gongzi. He and Jiang Gongzi were chatting and mentioned Zhang Yalan's incident by the way.
When Mr. Jiang heard this, he laughed and did not refuse. Instead, he said, "Is it difficult for this Ye Gongjin to talk? Please bring him to see me."
It was for this reason that late at night, Wang Zhenqing made a phone call to Ye Gongjin.
Ye Gongjin was at home getting ready to go to bed. When he heard it was Wang Zhenqing, he smiled and said, "Brother Zhenqing, it must be about Zhang Yalan. I'm afraid brother is going to refute your reputation. I'm sorry."
Wang Zhenqing said calmly: "It's not for her. There is someone who wants to see you."
"Who is it?" Ye Gongjin asked casually.
"It's Mr. Jingguo." Wang Zhenqing whispered.
Ye Gongjin suddenly lost his voice, and after a while he said: "Brother Zhenqing, I was a little disrespectful just now, please forgive me. If Mr. Jingguo is willing to summon me, please introduce me to brother Zhenqing."
At three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Ye Gongjin took Wang Zhenqing's car and went to see Mr. Jiang as agreed in advance.
But the audience was not at Mr. Jiang’s home, but at the Nanjing Hotel.
As soon as the two people arrived at the Nanjing Hotel, they saw many luxury cars parked outside. Guards and drivers were standing beside the cars chatting. When they entered the hotel, many senior generals were already standing in the lobby, gathering in small groups and talking to each other.
They talked in low voices. It turned out that they were all waiting to meet Mr. Jiang.
Wang Zhenqing led Ye Gongjin straight to the elevator. There was a fair-faced young adjutant standing at the door of the elevator. When he saw Wang Zhenqing, he nodded and reached out to press the elevator button for him. After a while, the two took the elevator to the fifth floor.
.
After getting out of the elevator, I saw guards standing at both ends of the corridor and beside the stairs. Only then did I realize that Mr. Jiang was so impressive that he had reserved an entire floor.
Ye Gongjin was standing around, not knowing where to go. He asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhenqing, which room does Mr. Jingguo live in?"
Wang Zhenqing said: "I don't know either. Don't move, just wait here."
The two of them stood in the silent corridor for fifteen minutes. At this time, a door opened in front of them, and the tall Mr. Jiang walked out of the door. His posture was to go to another door.
Room.
He turned around and saw Wang Zhenqing and smiled: "Zhenqing, you are here. Who is this?"
Wang Zhenqing said: "Mr. Jingguo, this is Director Ye Gongjin of the Operations Division of the Secrecy Bureau."
Mr. Jiang said "Oh" and seemed to be about to leave, but he turned back to Ye Gongjin and stared at him intently, as if observing him. After a while, he suddenly asked: "Director Ye, can I ask you something?"
"
Ye Gongjin hurriedly leaned forward and replied, "Gongjin doesn't dare. Please feel free to ask, Mr. Jingguo."
Speaking of which, Mr. Jiang, Ye Gongjin, and Wang Zhenqing are similar in age, but they have great aura and are intimidating. He pointed at Ye Gongjin with his finger and said: "Let me ask you, if something happens, do you listen to the Chairman of the Committee or Director Mao?"
of?"
Ye Gongjin stood at attention and replied: "Reporting to Mr. Jingguo, of course I listen to the chairman of the committee. I have no doubts."
Mr. Jiang smiled and nodded, saying: "Okay, very good." After saying that, he continued to walk forward. But after taking a few steps, he looked back at Ye Gongjin, considered for a moment, walked back slowly, lowered his head to think, and said
: "Director Ye, I heard that Zhang Nairen has a daughter at your place?"
"Yes, her name is Zhang Yalan." Ye Gongjin answered carefully.
"I heard that she is a communist?" Mr. Jiang was very casual.
"Yes, the evidence is conclusive."
Mr. Jiang laughed and said, "Okay, the evidence is conclusive. Do you think the Communist Party will still use such a person?"
Ye Gongjin was speechless and did not dare to answer. He only looked at Wang Zhenqing beside him. Wang Zhenqing had no expression on his face and just stood upright.
Mr. Jiang looked at them, waved his hand and said, "You go, I have something else to do. Zhenqing, come and have tea in the evening." As soon as he finished speaking, the man had already entered the room next to him.
Ye Gongjin was introduced by Wang Zhenqing and had an audience with Mr. Jiang, and that was how it ended.
But what Ye Gongjin didn't expect was that Director Mao would know about this meeting the next day.
When Director Mao received the news, he remained calm. In his heart, he had already listed Ye Gongjin as someone who must be eliminated. The reason was actually very simple. Mao Renfeng was following the Chairman of the Committee. But a subordinate passed him by and attached himself to Mr. Jiang.
This subordinate must have sinister intentions and must be killed!
