Chapter 21: Life is a play

"Cao Lijun is stubborn and self-serving, and he is jealous of his ability and cronyism, think about it, since he acted as the district governor, how many achievements have he made in the military command of the Shanghai District, Chief Wang Tianhuan came to Shanghai and personally presided over the assassination of Chen Zhen, the foreign minister of Liang Hongzhi's government, this credit is big enough, but how did Boss Dai treat Chief Wang?"

"Brother Sanshui, you are from the Honggong Ancestral Hall, didn't you offend Boss Dai because you said the wrong thing, and you can sit on this cold bench for five years?"

Chen Miao really didn't sit on the cold bench because he offended Dai Yunong by saying the wrong thing, in fact, it was also related to his own lack of wanting to "fight".

Promotion within the military command does not depend on ability, but more on relationships, what is the Jiangshan department, the Whampoa department, and so on, without nepotism, even if you have seniority, it is difficult to be promoted.

Besides, his task is to lurk in the military command, the goal is to hide himself, he didn't want to be outstanding, as long as he has access to core secrets, and contacting core secrets does not necessarily require being in power, in fact, being an internal staff in charge of confidential information, this is enough, which is also in line with the principle of latination: it is better to be a small staff member of a large organ than a big staff member of a small organ.

Chen Miao is engaged in intelligence review, and is in charge of the custody of confidential documents, and also understands communication technology, this official is not big, but his position is very important, it is people like him who really do things, otherwise why would Chen Mingchu deliberately pull him into the water?

At that time, he was not mature enough, he was young and vigorous, and Dai Yunong did not have the status he has today, so he did not politely contradict Dai Yunong in class.

Although Dai Yunong was very generous on the surface and did not pursue it, it still had an impact on his distribution after graduation and his subsequent promotion, and the people below would always figure out the meaning of the above, so they would naturally pressure him to be promoted, and even wear small shoes.

After graduating, he was sent to Shanghai and never moved his nest, if it weren't for the appreciation of the previous district mayor Zhou Weilong, it is estimated that he would not be able to be an intelligence editor.

His rank of captain was brought up to him by Zhou Weilong when he was in office, and an officer like him who has been in the military for seven or eight years and has not been mixed with a single captain, that is really rare, not to mention that he is still an old man from the Honggong Temple.

He's almost becoming an old fritter in the agency.

Lin Shiqun felt that the two of them were very similar, there was a certain amount of truth, before Lin Shiqun defected to the enemy, he was also unsatisfactory in the Central Union, sesame mung bean is a small official, what do you want, the military rank is not even as good as Chen Miao, just a lieutenant.

This is also one of the reasons why those who have renegade in the past of the two unifications look down on him and run to deal with Ding Mohan.

"You arrested Yuan Gongzi in exchange for Liang Xueqin's safety, but you know Yuan Jie, will the woman he fancy give up?"

Chen Miao was silent.

"Even if you tear up the ticket and kill Yuan Jie, his old son Yuan Xian will never let you go, you only have one way, take Liang Xueqin and leave Shanghai." Chen Mingchu chattered, "But will your boss Dai let you go, the military commander's family rules are strict, can you escape from Shanghai, can you escape the sanction of the military commander's family rules?" ”

Chen Miao continued to be silent, these words that Chen Mingchu said had already been rehearsed in his mind.

Basically, it's pretty much the same.

"You hid the cipher machine in your own office in the Jockey Club, thinking that the most dangerous place is the safest, right?" Chen Mingchu smiled and said a little proudly.

"How do you know?" Chen Miao's expression was shocked, he thought that Chen Mingchu would hold back and only talk to him until the end, but he didn't expect him to be so anxious.

"Brother Sanshui, don't forget that we are old colleagues who work together, although I didn't expect this at first, but then I remembered that you took me to your office and saw that typewriter, so I understood everything." Chen Mingchu said.

"So, the cipher machine has fallen into your hands." Chen Miao hugged her head and said painfully.

"What do you say?"

"It's useless for you to take away the cipher machine, you don't know the transcoding program for communication, you just get a machine." Chen Miao said.

"But you know the transcoding program."

"Do you want to drag me into the water and be a traitor with you?" Chen Miao asked sharply.

"Brother Sanshui, don't say it so ugly, we are about to become a legitimate government agency on the 76th, we are just taking a different route from Chongqing, in essence, we are saving the country, we are just in a peaceful and bloodless way." Chen Mingchu said in a very serious tone.

"Do you believe it?"

Chen Mingchu sneered, this kind of nonsense is just a kind of self-deception self-hypnosis and beautification, maybe someone will reply, but none of those people in No. 76 will believe it, including himself.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about the exchange of hostages, how about it, that's the main purpose of your coming to see me tonight?"

"Yes."

"We can release Miss Liang, but how do you guarantee the safety of Yuan Jie and Yuan Gongzi?" Chen Mingchu said with a look of sincerity.

"You put the people back first, and I will naturally release Yuan Gongzi, a person like him is just a waste of food to live."

"We can't believe this, you and Yuan Gongzi are rivals in love, if we release Miss Liang, when the time comes, you kill Yuan Gongzi, then we won't be able to explain to President Yuan." Chen Mingchu said.

"Do you have a choice?"

"Miss Liang's delicate beauty, she is both talented and beautiful, you can bear her suffering at No. 76, you also know what the people at No. 76 are from, they don't understand what pity and cherishing jade, what Yuan Jie wants to do, they may do more excessively." Chen Mingchu threatened.

"You dare to touch a single hair of Xueqin, I will chop Yuan Jie and throw it into the Huangpu River to feed the fish!" Chen Miao said sharply.

Chen Mingchu persuaded in a serious tone: "Brother Sanshui, there is a saying called knowing the times and being a junjie, in this troubled world, if you want to protect yourself and protect your beloved, you must master the power and grasp the power, you are like this now, even your beloved woman was almost snatched away, what do you think is the point of this person living in the world?" ”

"You want me to sell my soul, to sell my brothers who were born and died together, I can't do it." Chen Miao's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"Wrong, this is not a betrayal, you are helping them get out of the sea of suffering, except for some stubbornness, join us and you can live a better life." Chen Mingchu said, "If you have money to spend and drink wine, you can also have a decent, awe-inspiring identity." ”

"Don't say it, I won't be a traitor's ......" Chen Miao refused directly, but his tone didn't seem to be as tough as just now, and his face was distorted and struggled to show the fierce ideological struggle and struggle in his heart.

"Brother Sanshui, the way, I have already pointed it out to you, it depends on whether you can walk or not." Chen Mingchu seemed to notice Chen Miao's inner struggle, and then added a fierce fire, "Your time is running out, Director Ding's patience is limited, you know better than me, what kind of person he is, if he falls in love with Miss Liang, it will be more terrible than Yuan Gongzi." ”

"What are you talking about, Ding Mohan, this bastard, has taken a fancy to Xueqin?" Chen Miao's eyes shot a terrifying and fierce light, Ding Mohan was a hungry ghost, he knew it, but he actually wanted to beat Liang Xueqin's idea, which made him completely angry.

Chen Mingchu was taken aback by Chen Miao's fierce gaze, a man who was cautious in his eyes could actually give such a terrible look for a woman.

This is really in response to the old saying: don't mess with honest people.

"Brother Sanshui, don't look at me like this, I don't have the slightest thought about Miss Liang......" At this moment, Chen Mingchu was actually a little scared.

"Tell Ding Mohan that if you dare to touch a single hair of Xueqin, I will let him bury with his whole family, and I Chen Sanshui will do what he says!" Chen Miao pointed at Chen Mingchu's nose and warned.

"I'll be here tomorrow night, and I hope you'll have a decision." Chen Mingchu knew that if he continued to talk, there would be no result, so he nodded weakly.

"Walk slowly, don't send it!"

……

"Section chief, why don't you arrest someone?"

"Arrest people, do you think Chen Sanshui is a stupid person who dares to come to see me alone?" Chen Mingchu came downstairs and got into a car on the side of the road.

"Does he still have a helper?" Tan Wenbin asked.

"No, he's alone, where is the helper." Chen Mingchu recalled Chen Miao's terrible forehead just now, reached out and touched his forehead, and was actually sweating all over.

"Without helpers, we're afraid of what he's doing." Tan Wenbin said, "Section chief, I'll take someone up now and arrest someone for you?" ”

"Catch a fart, he is a person, if you catch him, Yuan Jie and Yuan Gongzi don't want to come back." Chen Mingchu scolded, why didn't his subordinates use their brains at all?

Chen Miao dared to come alone, indicating that he was fully prepared, if he was arrested, where would Yuan Jie be locked up, on such a hot day, did he have anything to eat or drink, how could this pampered boy be able to eat?

"If you want Yuan Gongzi to die early, go and arrest people for me, and when the time comes, you will bear this responsibility, okay?"

When Tan Wenbin heard this, his frightened head hurriedly retracted, if something happened to this Yuan Jie, the head on his shoulder would not be able to resist it.

Chen Mingchu knows Chen Miao too well, a living and delicate person, he is not willing to live that kind of hard life in the past, even if he can endure it for a while, he can't bear it for a lifetime.

He will definitely change his mind, he has to give him a little time, he also needs someone to help him on No. 76, as the saying goes, a hero has three gangs, Chen Miao is a person who can help him.

……

No. 71 Maiyang Road, after Wu Xin got off work, she came directly to Zheng Jiayuan.

"No one is following you, is it?" Zheng Jiayuan personally came down to open the door for her and let her in.

"Nope."

Wu Xin came upstairs, sat down and said, "Lao Zheng, do you remember that Chen Miao said that someone was following him, but he didn't know who it was?" ”

"Well, we went to the place he rented, and he mentioned it, and I checked it later, not from our side." Zheng Jiayuan poured a glass of water and handed it over, "What, he has a clue?" ”

"Before I got off work today, he called me on a pay phone, and asked me to help him check where the last call was before him."

"Do you know the number of that payphone?"

"Yes, he told me, the phone number is 63XX." Wu Xin replied, "The call was made at around 6:10 p.m. ”

"There is a number, and there is time, it should be possible to find it." Zheng Jiayuan nodded, "Didn't he say what he did to check the phone?" ”

"No, he hung up the phone straight after he finished speaking." Wu Xin shook her head.

"Well, you go back first, I'll call you as soon as there is news, try not to come directly to me." Zheng Jiayuan commanded.

"Okay, I got it."
