Chapter 401
Dong Shichang hid in the hotel, not daring to do anything. He was followed by his security guards and bodyguards he had paid for, bodyguards who had been following him for years – and outlaws he had raised for years, all of whom had been convicted of murder.
Tung Sai-cheong was in a high position and was very afraid of death.
When Zhao Shuli returned, he truthfully conveyed Mr. Su’s “request”.
Dong Shichang immediately smashed a cup on the ground, cursing: “He is so powerful ah, this is to order me?”
While saying this, he looked at Zhao Shuli.
Zhao Shuli went away for a whole night without coming back, and in his heart, he knew that wanting to gain Dong Shichang’s trust again was already impossible.
–This was definitely all the fault of Mr. and Mrs. Su Chunjun!
However, he didn’t have much regret.
He had spent less than half a day with Dong Shichang and realized what kind of person he was. He was too suspicious and it would take a lot of effort to gain his trust.
How could Zhao Shuli have that kind of free time to coax him?
Instantly decided to change camp.
Zhao Shuli smiled and said, “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry.” He pulled Dong Shichang back to the sofa and sat down, personally held a cup of tea, softly said: “Dong Gong, at this time you and Mr. Su has become a situation, Dong Gong or not to hit a stone with an egg for good.”
Dong Shichang listen to the words to listen to the sound, eyebrows immediately stood up, evil voice: “How? Mr. Zhao ate a meal to change sides?”
Zhao Shu Li: “are working for the party, we are all the same robe. Mr. Su is also in his position, seek his own. Dong Gong first arrived here, not to say kowtow, at least do not offend him, otherwise, that is not to find trouble for themselves, I am a sincere all for the sake of Dong Gong, Dong Gong think carefully.”
Zhao Shuli some words hidden needles, Dong Shichang want to be angry, but do not dare, after three thoughts, lost the opportunity to be angry.
Dong Shichang can bend and stretch, sighed: “Do not I want to hurry to set up the frame, the government offices to fix it? I have nothing in my hands except these few people, so you say, what can I do?”
He kicked the ball back.
The establishment of the Intelligence Department was a dead order from above. It was also a responsibility he shared with Zhao Shuli. Su Chunjun can stand on the dry shore to watch the fun, he and Zhao Shuli is a grasshopper on a rope, the difference is only in the time to take more or less responsibility.
Dong Shichang had already realized that he was isolated here, and Zhao Shuli, who was traveling with him, had just gotten off the plane and ran to the opposite camp. This forced him to restrain his temper.
Zhao Shuli also knew that this was not a good matter.
He said, “Mr. Su mentioned to me that the original location of the Intelligence Department is unusable.”
For one thing, the place had been bombed and burned and hadn’t been rebuilt yet, and was now in ruins.
Secondly, with all the commotion at the time, that location was tantamount to having been exposed, so of course it was impossible to use it again.
Zhao Shuli said: ”Now there are two ways. First, you quickly gather people, this I can not interfere, only you have the code book, can mobilize the intelligence personnel here. The meaning from above is that the intelligence line must be built up as soon as possible to restore the supply of intelligence. That is the first priority.”
He held up two fingers, “Second, is the location. Time is too short now, there are too many eyes on us, and the danger is greatly increased. You will need safe shelter. I suggest that it would be best for you to hide.”
Dong Shichang: “I hide?”
–This was just as Dong Shichang had intended!
Zhao Shuli’s words went to his heart, making him look at Zhao Shuli much more favorably.
However, Dong Shichang still wore a judgmental look that said, “Take your time, I’ll think about it first”. He stroked his chin, not saying a word.
Zhao Shuli did not hide anything, as if he was pouring out all the stock in his stomach, and continued, “You are the center of the Ministry of Intelligence, and if you are hidden, it means that the Ministry of Intelligence is also hidden.”
Dong Shichang nodded and said, “You mean, I am in the shadows, while the Intelligence Department’s activities are in the open?”
Zhao Shuli: “The news of your entry into the city must have been placed on the Japanese army’s desk long ago, this cannot be hidden for long. After you hide, the Intelligence Department’s activities as usual will not only ensure your personal safety, but also serve to confuse.”
Dong Shichang let out a long oh, raised his eyebrows and said, “Continue.”
Zhao Shuli: “You can ask Nanking for money to buy a small building as the Intelligence Department’s residence for its daily activities, or you can use this place as a smokescreen. As for the Ministry of Intelligence Rangers, they can also be placed outside in the open. Because the Rangers are allowed to have a license plate.”
The Ministry of Intelligence’s Rangers were not called that, but would be listed under the police force as a seven or eight team, which didn’t look any different from other police squads, but were actually under the orders of the Ministry of Intelligence and didn’t listen to the police chief.
The Ministry of Intelligence’s Rangers would also have interrogation rooms and cells, which were important sources of intelligence.
Dong Shichang had no interest in how the other departments of the Ministry of Intelligence were set up or how they operated; he was wholeheartedly happy about one thing only.
That was Zhao Shuli’s suggestion that he could hide.
Wasn’t that just right!
As long as he stayed out of sight and hid a little better, there would be no assassins to assassinate him. He could also avoid coming into contact with sensitive information that would lead to killing.
Dong Shichang affirmed Zhao Shuli’s suggestion very enthusiastically, and immediately handed over the two important tasks of building the Intelligence Department’s Rangers and the Intelligence Department’s office space to Zhao Shuli.
As for Dong Shichang himself, he of course immediately went to prepare his hideout.
Zhao Shuli sent Dong Shichang away with a smile and then went to work diligently.
First, he went into the Bank of America to open two working accounts, and sent a telegram to his superiors to have them pay money into the accounts.
After the money arrived, Zhao Shuli immediately raised all the money and then respectfully sent it to Dong Shichang for him to buy a villa and mansion for his hideout.
Dong Shichang then takes a portion of this money and uses it as Zhao Shuli’s activity fund.
Zhao Shuli then went to buy a small two-story building with a yard for the Rangers. As for the necessary cells, there was nothing too suitable, so he had to go underground and dig a basement for use.
And then go to the concession to open a trading company, hanging a Pacific or Western Europe Trading Company’s bluff name, and then in the newspaper, “on the fifteenth day of next month, the Western Europe Trading Company officially opened, welcome all walks of life friends and relatives to come to patronize! The advertisement.
After all this, he handed over these two places to Dong Shichang, honestly retired from the second line, half no longer intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of Intelligence.
Dong Shichang felt that Zhao Shuli was really bright and useful. Although he is on Su Chunjun’s side, he knows how to make a difference. Dong Shichang has no one in the city, and Su Chunjun is still eyeing him with no goodwill. If Dong Shichang were to find someone to do these two things himself, it would not be so easy to get it done. The first time I saw this, I was able to find a way to get it all done in just one week.
And Zhao Shuli knew exactly where to stop, he did not ask Dong Shichang about intelligence personnel, nor did he want to interfere with the arrangement and dispatch of intelligence personnel.
See, how understanding.
What should be done was done well, without him saying another word. He didn’t have to say another word, and he didn’t have to warn Dong Shichang about what he shouldn’t do.
Even if Dong Shichang was not satisfied that Zhao Shuli was not on his side, he still had to admit that Zhao Shuli was a good person to use.
Thinking that in the future he would need Zhao Shuli to do something in this city, he was much more gentle with Zhao Shuli and even kept him for a cup of tea.
Zhao Shuli was also grateful to drink the tea, and then cared about Gong Dong’s health before leaving.
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Shuli saw the notice of family search in the family search section of the newspaper.
Dong Shichang had issued a directive to the spies of the Intelligence Department who had wandered away.
From that day on, there were daily family search notices and occasional white advertisements, “To friends and relatives, I sobbed that my father passed away on the day of a certain year and month, and his death was peaceful” and so on.
At that time, Su Chunjun killed only the members of the Rangers, because these people are all killers, only they are the most dangerous. Su Chunjun’s target was also them.
Most of the spies in the Ministry of Intelligence don’t work inside the Ministry. Spies don’t work from nine to five, they all hold their own jobs in various industries, and work as spies in between jobs, they may be housewives, or bank clerks, or teachers, doctors, hard laborers, carriage drivers, and so on.
When something happened to the Ministry of Intelligence, these scattered spies knew immediately that something was wrong. However, their mission was not to immediately find Su Chunjun to fight for revenge, but to immediately pass on the intelligence.
Some of the intelligence officers immediately found a way to get out of the city and escaped.
Those who did not escape lurked.
It wasn’t until this time when Dong Shichang issued an order in the newspaper that they would surface.
However, in this struggle that made the people in the Intelligence Department fail to react, the spies who had wandered out were not necessarily safe, because it was not only Su Chunjun who was keeping an eye on them, but also Su Chunjun who was keeping an eye on the big picture, and in turn was not paying much attention to what would happen to these spies who had dispersed out of the city. But there were too many reefs below the surface of the water, and the sources among the intelligence officers were also complicated.
Therefore, after Dong Shichang ordered the summoning, he soon got seven or eight mourning letters from the newspapers.
The white advertisements were that the spies’ upline or downline had reported to their superiors that a few spies had died.
This made Dong Shichang furious and immediately wrote a report saying that these were all killed by Su Chunjun. He used his full imagination to make up a set of ten major Manchu tortures for Su Chunjun, so that he could capture these intelligence officers and torture them severely. Then, after Dong Shichang came to this place, he went through a lot of investigations and got the information about how much and how many tortures they all had suffered from the corpses that had been deformed, which was a real tear in the eye of the hearer and shock in the heart of the seeer.
This is something that Zhao Shuli did not know at all. Dong Shichang’s report is higher than his level, the speed is even faster, almost immediately put on the desk of the superior.
The top is also very concerned about this side of the situation, a look at the report, a big shock.
Su Chunjun even arrested our intelligence officers and tortured them?
Zhao Shuli was also quickly scolded by his superiors, scolding Zhao Shuli puzzled.
The superior yelled: Dong Shichang found the body of the intelligence officer why don’t you report it!
Zhao Shuli: He found the body?
The superior continued to scold: I asked you to spy on Su Chunjun, why didn’t you realize that he had arrested so many people and tortured them?
Zhao Shuli: Su Chunjun arrested people? Our own people? He arrested them?
Superior Broke: You’re making me passive now! Dong Shichang, this pig brain just went and achieved such great results, what have you been doing? Are you not as good as Dong Shichang?
Zhao Shuli’s brain reacted quickly and immediately knew that what his superior meant was not that the intelligence was too scary, but that he needed to push the pot.
Zhao Shuli immediately prepared the pot for his superior and said: I suspect Dong Shichang has defected.
The superior cursed: Does he have that kind of brain! Do you think anyone will believe it!
Zhao Shuli: His report is false! It’s a forgery! It’s a hoodwink to our Party! It’s a slander against our Party’s loyal cadre Su Chunjun!
SUPERIOR: Oh, then tell me more about it.
Zhao Shuli thought to himself, “The hoodwink is right.
