At around six o'clock in the evening, Chen Mingxiang arrived at the International Hotel in the concession. The guards from the inspection team parked the car in the parking lot, and four people followed him upstairs carrying shells.
According to what was said on the phone, the five people took the elevator to the door of room 1011 on the tenth floor. He directly reached out and knocked nine times. This was the agreed code.
Two young men in suits opened the door, respectfully let Chen Mingxiang into the room, and then went out and closed the door. They had their hands pinned to their waists. They were obviously bodyguards.
Ding Mocun was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. There were several exquisite side dishes and a bottle of French red wine on the coffee table. When he saw him coming, he picked up the decanter and poured him a glass of wine.
This time I didn’t go to the appointment alone because the person I was meeting was Ding Mocun. When he was about to get off work, Chen Mingxiang received a call from him. Unexpectedly, this big traitor had already arrived in Shanghai and was staying at the International Hotel. He said he would meet in the evening.
Chat.
"Why didn't the minister call me in advance? I will just pick you up at the station. When you come to Shanghai, I will be responsible for all consumption." Chen Mingxiang said after sitting down.
"It doesn't matter. If I were doing something private for myself, I would have told you in advance that this visit to Shanghai is Zhou Fahai's intention. All expenses will be reimbursed by the Ministry of Finance." Ding Mocun said with a smile.
"Zhou Fahai is the boss of the Ministry of Finance. I heard that he is not very generous with his actions. Is the minister going to handle personal matters for him this time?" Chen Mingxiang took out a cigar and lit one.
"Of course, otherwise I, a minister of social affairs who has no real power and spends all day drinking tea and reading newspapers in the office, why would I come to the Shanghai stock market? At the beginning of the year, I was kicked away by Li Shiqun. I must have some self-awareness.
"Ding Mocun seems to be in a good mood.
Just by naming Li Shiqun, Chen Mingxiang understood that the conflict between Zhou Fahai and Li Shiqun was probably more acute and the matter more complicated than he imagined.
"Is Zhou Fahai trying to deal with Li Shiqun?" Chen Mingxiang said without hesitation.
"Li Shiqun made him a little bit unable to get off the stage. When he was drinking the night before yesterday, he lost his temper and even yelled at Li Shiqun. It shows that he was extremely angry." Ding Mocun said.
It turns out that this matter was due to the nonsense of the Ministry of Police. In order to obtain more resources and power, especially for the position of Minister of Police, Li Shiqun actively moved closer to Zhou Fahai, and even became his brother.
Li Shiqun controlled the secret service headquarters, and was backed by the Mei Agency. Now he was getting stronger and more powerful, and Zhou Fahai also wanted to take it for his own use. Wang looked at Mung Bean and saw him in eye contact.
It is said that they are all using each other, mainly for their own interests. Treating brothers and not treating brothers is all superficial. It is not uncommon for brothers to stab each other in the back, let alone brothers.
For Zhou Fahai, the position of Minister of Police is not very interesting. He has enough part-time jobs. The most important thing is that the Central Reserve Bank is to be established. As the president, he is extremely busy and has no time to deal with anyone in the Ministry of Police.
matter.
Zhou Fahai treated the minister's empty title like a bone and threw it to the evil dog Li Shiqun. This was also a plan to use it as waste. Anyway, everyone from top to bottom of the police department belonged to Li Shiqun.
"Li Shiqun is narrow-minded after all. Zhou Fahai's brother-in-law Yang Shuping is the only one he has arranged to have a relationship with the Ministry of Police and serves as the director secretary. Li Shiqun takes over as the Minister of Police. His parliamentary secretary must be appointed by the executive deputy secretary Deng Zuyu.
If you take over, this position will be vacant."
"Unexpectedly, Li Shiqun rejected Zhou Fahai's request and instead arranged for Tang Huimin to serve as executive deputy minister, giving Zhou Fahai a slap in the face." Ding Mocun said.
Deng Zuyu is also a veteran. He served as the deputy commander of the Sixth Army of the Shancheng Government during the Northern Expedition and the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army. He also served as the police chief in Xicheng. After joining Wang N, he was appointed as the so-called standing deputy director of the Ministry of Police.
.
When I was the director of the Secret Service Headquarters in Dingmo Village, there were two deputy directors. One was Li Shiqun and the other was Tang Huimin. All three of them came from Zhongtong.
But in fact, Chen Mingxiang only knew about Tang Huimin and had never seen him at the secret service headquarters. His low profile was unimaginable.
Later I learned that Tang Huimin was able to be the deputy director because Ding Mocun brought him up against Li Shiqun. Even Ding Mocun was kicked out of the secret service headquarters by Li Shiqun. How could Tang Huimin have a good life? He is currently under semi-house arrest.
middle.
"Why did Li Shiqun suddenly promote Tang Huimin? This doesn't seem to be his character and conduct?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
"Tang Huimin didn't offend him. Speaking of which, when Li Shiqun first came to Shanghai, Tang Huimin was one of the first people he came into contact with. It's just that he was relatively close to me, which aroused Li Shiqun's resentment."
"The expansion of the secret service headquarters is not as fast as Li Shiqun's promotion. I guess he is short of people. Thinking of his old friendship, he brought him up for his own use," Ding Mocun said.
The dignified No. 3 Wang N, the core leader of the real power faction, can't even arrange for his brother-in-law. This is simply a shame and a huge insult.
With Zhou Fahai's power, it would not be easy to give Yang Shuping a position, but Li Shiqun's approach deeply hurt his proud heart.
Especially after the relationship with Ding Mocun eased, Zhou Fahai realized that he was really blind, and Li Shiqun was the one feeding the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, so he asked Ding Mocun to go to the Shanghai market to arrange how to deal with Li Shiqun.
This is a long-term job, with the support of the Mei Agency, and Li Shiqun is now getting closer and closer to Wang N's Gongguan faction. Even Zhou Fahai knows that this is definitely not an opportunity to take action now.
"Has the minister contacted Wan Lilang?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
"He already came to talk to me this afternoon. Although this man is a traitor to the military commander, he is very capable and has a long-term vision. He only needs a little prompting and he will know what to do. This way
Talent is indeed the best choice to replace Li Shiqun."
"Wan Lilang suspects that you have something to do with the military commander. I have sternly warned him in the name of Zhou Fahai that even if he replaces Li Shiqun one day, he is not allowed to do anything detrimental to you." Ding Mocun said.
"It is a pure lie to say that I have no relationship with the Juntong Bureau. Among the clients of the Kuomintang District, Huatong Trading Company has connections with the Juntong Bureau. However, Chen Gongshu from Juntong Shanghai District did not come to force me.
cooperate."
"On the surface, I look prosperous, but in fact, I feel like I'm in a frying pan. I've delivered messages for the Central Committee, saved people, provided cover for the Military Command, transported goods, and purchased strategic materials for the Japanese. I don't even know.
Which side are you from?" Chen Mingxiang said with a wry smile.
