Pan Qiwu was silent for a moment again, and then said softly: "Director, I'm sorry, I'm down here."
Hearing this, Ye Gongjin stared at him, turned to look outside, and tried to calm down the anger in his heart.
Pan Qiwu stood motionless in front of his desk, watching him silently.
This was something that made Ye Gongjin furious. The past events of that day flashed before his eyes like a movie. During that day, he passed by death several times! There were explosions, shootings, car crashes, and finally he was stuck in a traffic jam.
Outside the door of the U.S. Marine Corps. If Zuo Shaoqing and his sisters had not tried their best to rescue him, he would have died a long time ago.
Ye Gongjin was really torn in his heart. Zuo Shaoqing was the one who saved him those few times he had a close call with death. But, damn! All of this was because of Zuo Shaoqing, who made that fatal recording
The secret was handed over to Director Mao!
It was only at this moment, when Ye Gongjin grasped all this situation, that he truly understood Zuo Shaoqing's intention! Zuo Shaoqing must have given the recording to Director Mao to save the 'Sophora Tree'. That is to say, at that time,
He must be very close to the 'Locust Tree', maybe even right at hand, right at his fingertips! So close that it's within easy reach!
At that time, Zuo Shaoqing must have sensed that the 'Locust Tree' was in danger. She wanted to save him. She risked her life to save him, and that was also to save herself!
At this time, the office was as quiet as hell. Ye Gongjin and Pan Qiwu sat and stood, looking at each other.
For Ye Gongjin, the past and things he didn't understand in the past are now clear. For Pan Qiwu, he is waiting for the fate of his fate. The person he arranged to assassinate in the past is now his immediate boss. He feels,
The ending will not be good no matter what.[
Ye Gongjin looked outside, but he had another mood. He understood Zuo Shaoqing's true identity, so everything Zuo Shaoqing did was understandable. To put it more generously, he and she were both
Everyone is his own master.
At this time, the question that Ye Gongjin was thinking about was how to deal with the Pan Qiwu in front of him. Pan Qiwu had been the chief secretary of the Secrecy Bureau for many years, and was now promoted to the deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau and the director of the General Office. He had been working in the Intelligence Bureau for many years and had deep roots.
Touching him might bring down the entire intelligence agency. This was something he had to consider.
Comment below, this Ye Gongjin is quite generous, and he has kept this feeling in his heart for several years.
In 1963, Ye Gongjin and Pan Qiwu finally served as director of the Yangmingshan Special Economic Zone Administration. The Yangmingshan Special Economic Zone Administration was a very important unit because President Chiang Kai-shek's official residence in Shilin was at the foot of Fushan Mountain in Shilin. Some envoys to China
, senior officials, and some extremely secret agencies are located in the Yangmingshan Special Economic Zone. To use an exaggeration, there are countless secret service personnel densely packed in the Yangmingshan Special Economic Zone.
From the sidelines, Ye Gongjin finally treated Pan Qiwu kindly because in the next few years, Pan Qiwu was diligent and cautious, and helped Ye Gongjin handle the work of the Intelligence Bureau in an orderly manner. In this way, Ye Gongjin was not willing to let him get hurt.
It felt like being pushed out of the Intelligence Bureau. But Ye Gongjin really didn't dare to let him stay by his side anymore.
This will happen a few years later. We won’t mention it anymore.
But at this time, Ye Gongjin was driving on the Zhongshan Road from Tamsui Town to Taipei City, and he was struggling with this matter. He had not yet made up his mind on how to treat this Pan Qiwu. But he had a vague feeling that this Pan Qiwu was a
A person who is a scholar on the outside and strong on the inside may be ready to fight him to the death. Therefore, he cannot easily touch Pan Qiwu now.
After Ye Gongjin's car entered downtown Taipei, the number of vehicles on the street increased and the speed of the vehicles also slowed down a lot.
At this time, another terrible thing popped into Ye Gongjin's mind.
Not long ago, he secretly arranged for elite agents from the operations brigade to sneak into South Vietnam and ordered them to get rid of Zuo Shaoqing. However, these idiots not only failed to get rid of her, but also lost their lives. He heard the report two days ago,
The three agents all died tragically, and their opponents did not leave any way for them to survive.
Ye Gongjin immediately understood that these three people must have died at the hands of Zuo Shaoqing. Only Zuo Shaoqing would carry out such a heavy blow. She is a secret agent who has lived in extreme danger for many years. She is extremely decisive in dealing with things and will never do anything.
It will leave any opponent a chance to survive or even fight back.
Ye Gongjin naturally thought of Metz after Zuo Shaoqing escaped from the assassination. It can almost be said that Zuo Shaoqing was also a disaster left to him by Metz. What made him hate it was that he went to Taipei City now just to
Go meet this Mace. Damn it, Americans don’t have a single good thing!
He hates this Mace, but he has to deal with him! Prince!
Ye Gongjin got off the car in front of Binshan Hotel, walked up the high steps and entered the hotel lobby.
A tall palm tree stood in the center of the hall, surrounded by a circle of strange rocks, with a spring gurgling from the rocks. He walked across the shiny marble floor and entered the elevator.[
When Ye Gongjin finally entered the room where Metz lived, faced him face to face, and looked at each other, he suddenly felt that time is not forgiving, and they were both a little older. There was already something in Metz's iron-gray hair.
His hair was all white. He knew that he himself was the same.
Compared with the past, another difference was that both he and Metz had more wariness and even anger in their eyes.
They shook hands simply without any friendship. Metz motioned for Ye Gongjin to sit down on the sofa. He walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of red wine, poured two glasses, and handed one to Ye Gongjin.
They didn't even intend to touch the glasses. They all held the glasses and looked at each other.
Mace finally broke the silence and asked softly, "Mr. Ye, do you have any news about Zuo Shaoqing?"
Ye Gongjin's anger appeared on his face, as if he saw an enemy. Three of his best agents were killed cleanly by Zuo Shaoqing! Okay! This is nothing! She can continue to live and even run back to the mainland.
This is nothing! Damn it! Back then, when he narrowly escaped death and was hunted down by Director Mao, wasn't it just because of Zuo Shaoqing? He could forget everything, so how could he forget this?
Ye Gongjin suppressed his anger and said, "Mr. Mace, she is one of yours, why do you ask me?"
Mace was not polite, "Mr. Ye, to be precise, she is still one of yours, and it was you who sent her to South Vietnam, wasn't it?"
Ye Gongjin yelled, "If you hadn't made an unfortunate recording, I would have gotten rid of her when I was still in the mainland. Would I still wait until now?"
Mace shook his head, "Mr. Ye, you are wrong to say that. At the end of last year, Mr. Mao was already terminally ill, and that recording had no effect on you. Why did you send Zuo Shaoqing to South Vietnam? Why?"
Ye Gongjin was so angry that he couldn't speak. He didn't want to say what was in his heart to Metz. He was really afraid that Zuo Shaoqing's identity would be exposed, and in that case, his future would really be ruined.
Metz said coldly: "Is it because she still has value? For your future? Are you expecting to get help from me through her? Is that right?"
"But," Ye Gongjin roared again, "you never helped me! You just told me to wait!"
"But you finally got your chance! Didn't you? You finally became the director of the Intelligence Bureau!"
"That's because Mr. Jingguo thinks highly of me! It's Mr. Jingguo who helps me! Not you!" Ye Gongjin roared.
Metz stared at Ye Gongjin, silently enduring his accusations. The old accounts of the past can never be settled clearly. He knew that he could not dwell on these old accounts.
Metz finally waved his hand to Ye Gongjin and said, "Mr. Ye, I hope we don't settle these old scores now. This is not good for both of us. We must focus on the overall situation."
"What's the big picture! I got the news yesterday that Zuo Shaoqing has fled South Vietnam!" Ye Gongjin said harshly.
"That's right, she did escape South Vietnam. But, this is the overall situation!" Metz stared at him intently.
"What's the big deal about Zuo Shaoqing? What does it matter to the overall situation!" Ye Gongjin glared at him angrily.
"I'm telling you for sure, the current Zuo Shaoqing is the overall situation between you and me!" Metz's face was very serious.
Ye Gongjin stared at Metz angrily, but he finally had to calm down. He was still somewhat rational, because he did hear other meanings from Metz's words, which should be a very important thing.
He said: "Tell me, what is the overall situation? I hope you won't waste my time!"
Metz raised his wine glass to him. Ye Gongjin reluctantly touched it with him. They stared at each other and took a sip of wine.
Metz lowered his head, thinking about what he wanted to say. He slowly raised his head, looked at Ye Gongjin, and said softly: "Mr. Ye, how much do you know about the relationship between China and the Soviet Union?"
Ye Gongjin realized that Metz was about to say something important. He said: "There is no better or worse between China and the Soviet Union. In other words, under the mask of superficial friendship, there are deep conflicts between them. Right?"
"
Metz nodded, "You are right, but it is not entirely true. Recently, the relationship between China and the Soviet Union has begun to heat up. Because Khrushchev urgently needs political support in front of those Eastern European countries."
Ye Gongjin pouted, "I know! Then provide funds, technology, and experts to help ** develop their shabby economy. I understand these situations!"
Metz lowered his voice, "Mr. Ye, according to the information we have, the things provided by the Soviet Union also include technology for manufacturing atomic weapons."
Ye Gongjin's eyes suddenly widened. He finally understood that this was the key to all problems. At the end of World War II, the United States' atomic weapons showed great power in Japan, which was obvious to the world.
