Although he was very unhappy that Dai Li did not come in person and only sent a Mao Renfeng, Du Yuesheng just snorted and said goodbye to Mr. Feng and Pan Baojuan before taking his family with Li Qiang and others. Followed Mao Renfeng and left the airport.
The residence Mao Renfeng mentioned was actually a three-story mansion. Although it looked ordinary, it was right next door to the famous "Shulu".
Even Li Qiang, who has never been to Chongqing, has heard that there is a reception hall called "Shu Lu" outside the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau. It is the main place for welcomes and greetings within the Military Command. The first floor is used by general agents, and the second floor is used by general agents. The first floor was reserved exclusively for Dai Li, while Shen Zui, Director of the General Affairs Department, and Gong Xianfang, Director of the Human Resources Department, both liked peace and quiet, so they each found a room on the third floor as a reception room for their respective departments. Even Mao Renfeng had a room here. Dedicated reception room.
"Let me introduce to you. This is Director Lu of the guest house. If you need anything, just tell him. It's just that this place is not as good as Shanghai or Hong Kong, and it's wartime. Conditions are limited, so I have to let you suffer here for a few days. Already."
"It doesn't matter!" Du Yuesheng waved his hands and said nonchalantly.
"That being the case, Mr. Mao still has official duties to attend to, so I'll take my leave first!"
After saying that, Mao Renfeng bowed and left without looking back.
"Phew! This journey was too thrilling. I thought we wouldn't reach Chongqing! Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!" As soon as she entered the room, Haitang threw herself on the bed and said with relief.
However, before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Opening the door, I saw a familiar face, "Mr. Ming, are you okay?"
Not thinking about Li Qiang, he just frowned and looked at him without saying a word, secretly guessing his purpose.
"Hey, kid, why don't you say hello to old friends? What's your reaction?"
"Xu Laosi, you can eat this food randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. I have never been in contact with you. When did I become your old friend?"
"You..." After hearing what he was about to say, Xu Baichuan suddenly understood the intention of Li Qiang's move, so he could only swallow the rest of the words and said angrily, "Humph, look at the whole situation Military commander, why don’t you call me Fourth Brother respectfully when you meet me? You don’t know how to praise me!”
However, Li Qiang just chuckled after hearing this, "That's your military commander's relationship, what does it have to do with me? Say what you have to say quickly, and say farts if you have any. It disturbs my interest. Believe it or not, I demolished your office?" "
"Hey! I..."
Just when Xu Baichuan was about to lose his temper, a guy who looked young but spoke with a strong voice came over and asked with concern: "Fourth brother! What happened? Why did you get so angry?"
"Nothing, eighth brother, why are you here?"
Eighth brother? No need to ask, the person who came must be the director of the General Affairs Department who was the last and youngest among the eight people. He was intoxicated.
"No, Boss Dai was afraid that Mr. Du would be acclimatized when he first arrived, so he sent me over to have a look." After saying that, he turned to look at Li Qiang very naturally, "Who is this?"
Li Qiang replied with a precious word: "Li Qiang, Mr. Du's entourage."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Zui's eyes rolled around twice, and then he showed a look of understanding, and followed his words and said: "It turns out, Mr. Li, disrespectful."
"Director Shen, you're welcome."
"Okay, okay, why are you two still talking? Mr. Li, someone wants to see you, please come with me!"
"If you had said so earlier, wouldn't it be over? Lead the way!"
Soon, Li Qiang followed Xu Baichuan to the second floor of Shulu.
To be honest, the reception room on the second floor is indeed Dai Li's exclusive reception room. The interior decoration alone is as luxurious as the reception rooms used by ordinary agents downstairs. Even compared to the sofa in the Shanghai Chinachem Hotel, Xun Ge is no less generous.
From this, it is not difficult to see that Dai Li is also a person who is extravagant and greedy for enjoyment.
"Boss, I've brought you here." After entering, Xu Baichuan said submissively to Dai Li, who had his arms folded and his back leaning on the desk.
"Well, I understand, go ahead!"
"Yes!" After saying this, Xu Baichuan obediently withdrew.
"I never expected that idiot Zhou Fohai would send you as this secret envoy!" Dai Li said with a sneer as soon as Xu Baichuan left.
This shocked Li Qiang. Was he scolding Zhou Fohai or reprimanding himself?
Li Qiang was really unsure. After all, it was not difficult to detect the anger in Dai Li's tone just now. Could it be that...
After clarifying his thoughts as quickly as possible, Li Qiang carefully replied: "In my humble opinion, the reason why Zhou Fohai sent his subordinates to be this secret envoy is because there are only two possibilities. One is to test the subordinates. His identity, maybe he has already planted a lot of informants around my subordinate. As long as I show any flaws, he will see through it. Secondly, I have already seen through my subordinate’s identity as a pretender, which makes you think The subordinate's identity has been exposed and he has lost trust in the intelligence on this intelligence line."
Hearing this, Dai Li nodded in agreement, and then continued to ask: "Then do you think that situation is more likely?"
"I think the former is more likely."
"Oh? What's the reason?"
"If he had figured out the identity of his subordinates, he would definitely not have sent them down."
"Why?"
"It's very simple. After all, on the surface, this subordinate is here to exchange hostages. Zhou Fohai is a well-known filial son. It is really not cost-effective to lose his filial reputation for a pretender who has been exposed. Besides, if If it were a subordinate, after discovering the identity of the person around him, the wisest choice would be to hold back and take advantage of him secretly, rather than show his cards directly."
"Well, that's good!" With that, Dai Li extended two fingers to you, "Second question, since Zheng Yaoxian returned last time, he has been particularly concerned about the Xifeng Detention Center. Why?"
"When I got back to the director, it was my subordinate who asked him for help."
"So, you already know about Huang Xiansheng?"
"I only heard that it was suspected of being a celebrity, so my subordinates asked Zheng Yaoxian to help investigate."
Hearing this, Dai Li couldn't help but snorted, "Humph! You are quite honest. Do you know that this has violated family law?"
"My subordinates know that, but General Huang and I have been kind and reborn. If something happens to him, and my subordinates don't even ask and are indifferent, how are they any different from animals? A group is a family, and comrades are brothers. The director's teachings belong to I will always keep it in mind and never dare to forget it. Let me ask you, if my subordinates treat their benefactors so ruthlessly, how can they treat the group as a family and treat comrades as brothers?"
These words spoke directly into Dai Li's heart, and the expression on his face softened a little, but he still continued to ask: "Then what should you do if Huang Xiansheng is found guilty in the future?"
"In the hearts of my subordinates, no matter when and where, the interests of the party and the country are above all else! This will not change because of anyone or anything!"
"Okay! Very good! From now on, your code name will be changed to 'Dagger'. If necessary, you can contact me directly. I hope you can pierce the heart of the enemy like a dagger! Fight for us more
A big victory."
"Yes, my subordinates will do their best and never let down the director's trust!"
"Well, but this kind of acting requires a complete performance!" As he said that, Dai Li suddenly blushed and shouted loudly, "That's unreasonable! You dare to negotiate terms with me? You don't even look at how much you weigh, who's coming?
, blast me out!"
Before he finished speaking, two men immediately broke in and dragged Li Qiang out without explanation. No matter how hard he struggled to explain, it was to no avail.
The commotion caused by this was quite big, and almost all the agents on the first floor saw it.
Soon, the news spread like wildfire, and even Mao Renfeng in the office heard about it.
"Did you see that guy being kicked out by Boss Dai with your own eyes?"
"That's not true. I heard it from someone, but everyone in the secretary's office is spreading the word. I think it's true." Ma Kui scratched his head and replied.
"That's weird. Isn't it just a matter of exchanging hostages? It's obviously a mutual agreement between you and me, so how can the negotiation collapse? Could it be that in addition to exchanging hostages, there is also..."
Having said this, Mao Renfeng grabbed the phone in front of him and dialed a number, "Hello? Yanghao? It's me, Lao Mao..."
…
Let's say that after Li Qiang was kicked out of Shulu by Dai Li, he stood at the door and explained for half an hour. Even until his mouth was dry, Dai Li couldn't change his mind, so he could only return to the guest house angrily.
"Hahahaha!" After listening to Li Qiang narrating what happened, Haitang couldn't help laughing, "The scene must have been very interesting at that time! Hey, if I had known better, I would have gone with you!"
"And then they kicked me out together?"
"What's the point? You don't know, I like acting the most!"
"Don't worry, the curtain has been raised. If you want to play, there are plenty of opportunities!"
"Really? Then I really can't wait."
"Don't worry, I'll take you to a good place tonight, and I'm sure you can show off your talents, but..."
"But what?"
"You need to make a sacrifice."
"Sacrifice?" Hearing this, Haitang's still bright eyes suddenly turned cold, but she still resisted and asked, "Are you willing to do it?"
Li Qiang waved his hand without thinking, "Don't get it wrong! It's not what you think."
"What's that like?"
"You'll know when the time comes. Anyway, it's time to show off your charm!"
Although it was still unclear what kind of medicine was sold in Li Qiang's gourd, Haitang's eyes gradually regained some sparkle and she nodded gently.
In the evening, due to the occasional air strikes taking advantage of the darkness of night, Chongqing at that time would implement strict light control every night. Because of this, the neon signs of major entertainment venues almost all chose the evening time, when the sky was still dark.
It lights up when it's not completely dark, as if it's trying to bloom as many colors as possible before the lights go out.
At that time, there was a US military headquarters club near Shangqing Temple. Although it was only three stories high, it occupied a large area. Especially the huge neon sign on the roof made the whole building colorful, dazzling and green.
The green brick tiles, huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and vast terraces all exude a sense of splendor, forming a sharp contrast with the dilapidated houses nearby that are almost in ruins.
"These Americans really know how to enjoy themselves!" Even though he was mentally prepared, Li Qiang couldn't help but sigh after seeing with his own eyes the disparity in living standards between American soldiers and local civilians.
.
Haitang also responded unhappily: "Yes, these guys act as if this war has nothing to do with them. They all act as if they are on vacation, which makes people very angry when they see it!"
"There is no way, after all, this is not their country, so naturally they can enjoy it with peace of mind." After saying this, Li Qiang paused, and after calming down for a while, he extended his arm to Haitang, "Let's go!
I guess it won’t be long before the show is about to begin.”
I have to say that Li Qiang has seen a lot of clubs, large and small, over the years, but like this, they provide exquisite Chinese and Western meals and ice cream at any time, and everything you look at is filled with the fragrance of flowers and a variety of charms.
It was the first time I saw a vast array of spring scenery.
"What the hell kind of place is this? It looks like a brothel?" Haitang was obviously disgusted by the sight in front of her, and she couldn't help but frown and said.
Fortunately, Li Qiang patted her hand in time, which brought her back to her senses. She suppressed her inner disgust and walked inside with Li Qiang in her arms.
As soon as I arrived at the dance floor, I saw three or five American soldiers surrounding a man with a slicked back hair, dressed as a businessman, holding a folding fan in his hand, and a cigar in his mouth. I couldn't tell whether he was a man or not.
Girl and guy dance passionately.
As soon as the jump started, a few bold hands began to act dishonestly, pinching the person's cheeks or pinching the person's butt from time to time, but the other person didn't seem to particularly care, and instead responded with a charming smile.
.
Now the soldiers became bolder, and the movements of their hands became more reckless. But in the next moment, the guys suddenly screamed, and if you look at the backs of the hands of the guys, without exception, there were traces of
A burn mark.
"Just wipe it off, but you still dare to slap your nose and face. Let's see if you bastards can remember it next time!"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers immediately blushed with embarrassment, and one of them became even more angry. But just when he was about to attack the man, he was stopped by someone.
"Calm down, Jason! Do you know who this lady is?"
When Jason heard this, he couldn't help but be startled, and then he came back to his senses. After all, the Chinese who had access to this place were either rich or noble. If they really caused any trouble, it was not something that a small corporal like him could afford.
But even so, Jason still asked reluctantly: "Who is it?"
"You don't even recognize her? She is Minister Kong's second daughter, Miss Kong Er!"
