Chapter 223: Accepted as a Confidant
Secretary Qi understood that Chu Lingyun was truly favored by the director.
Or rather, keep it in mind.
Chu Lingyun is very capable, and the director really values him, but before, the director always regarded Chu Lingyun as Wang Yuemin's man, or someone who sent New Year's greetings, and there was a layer of distance between him and him.
This is also the reason why Chu Lingyun has been at the headquarters for so long, but the director has only summoned him once.
That time, it was because of his contribution in instigating Jiang Tengkong's rebellion that the director asked him to come and report on his work.
But this time it was different. Chu Lingyun's performance had attracted the real attention of the director, who wanted to make him his confidant and use him for his own purposes.
Otherwise, he would not have said that he personally went to the military headquarters to help him secure his military rank.
This is the attitude that Virgos have towards their confidants.
There is a person in between, which is completely different from the concept of directly accepting him as a confidant. Chu Zuo will personally cultivate him in the future, and Chu Lingyun's progress in the future will definitely be much faster than it is now.
Soon, Chu Lingyun will definitely have a place among the many senior officials of the Military Intelligence Department.
Even if he cannot be promoted due to his age and qualifications, his status will rise rapidly and may even surpass some unimportant section chiefs.
The emperor cares about simplicity, not the size of the position.
Just like the director himself, if the chairman didn't value him, how could he, a colonel, have such great power.
The director's military rank is not high, but who would dare to offend him easily, not to mention that in their military intelligence department, the director is all-powerful and all the power in the department is in his hands.
Secretary Qi understood Director General's thoughts best, but he would not tell anyone about this matter, including New Year's greetings.
Strictly speaking, it was he who brought Chu Lingyun to the headquarters. Chu Lingyun was so young and was his junior. Even if he rose to power in the future, he would not be a threat to his position. If he helped more now and left a good relationship, it would be a very good advance investment.
"Thank you for your cultivation."
Chu Lingyun stood up straight and shouted loudly. The director nodded in satisfaction with a smile on his face.
He no longer cared so much about Wu Yuantai's little troubles.
It was because this young man Chu Lingyun pleased him and brought him so much good news. Even if the Americans really came knocking on his door, the chairman would not really punish him given his many contributions.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for your good news."
The director waved his hand, and He Nian took Chu Lingyun away. As soon as they walked out of the office, He Nian said happily: "Lingyun, your major rank is no problem this time. Wait for your promotion."
"Thank you, Chief. It's your support that allowed me to be promoted to Major so quickly."
Chu Lingyun thanked him again, and Henian laughed heartily: "This is what you deserve. After so many great achievements, don't you deserve the title of Major? It's a pity that it's only a post rank. I will find a way to help you get a formal rank in the future."
Even though he was promoted to major, Chu Lingyun's military rank was not official.
The so-called military rank is very easy to understand. You can only have this rank if you have a position. If you lose your position, your rank will naturally be gone.
Including treatment, rewards and pensions, the Kuomintang has always calculated according to official military rank.
"Thank you, Chief. I'll go arrest Tu Fang first."
"Go ahead, business is important."
Henian nodded immediately. This was a task assigned directly by Virgo, so he couldn't be careless and had to do it beautifully.
After the two left, the director looked at Secretary Qi and asked directly, "Limin, last time Wang Yuemin asked, where in Zhejiang Province is Chu Lingyun from?"
"Ningcheng people."
Sure enough, the Director changed his attitude towards Chu Lingyun and began to ask about his personal situation, which he had never asked before.
"Who are the people in his family?" The director nodded slightly. Ning Cheng is good. He is from the same place as the old man.
"Chu Lingyun has parents and a younger sister. His father is a well-known local middle school teacher named Chu Yuanchen."
Secretary Qi had already investigated Chu Lingyun's situation. When he introduced Chu Lingyun to He Nian, it was impossible for him to introduce someone whose background he didn't know.
Secretary Qi is very meticulous. He is the most astute person in the entire military intelligence department. He Nian and Xu Yi combined cannot compare to him.
Without some talent, how could he become the second-in-command of the Military Intelligence Department?
"Chu Yuanchen, I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before." Director thought.
"When Chu Yuanchen just graduated, he worked as a teacher at Fenghua Primary School and taught the eldest son."
Secretary Qi already knew everything about Chu Lingyun's family and told it casually.
"I remember now. No wonder. I've seen him before, but he was still young then. I never thought he'd grown up so big now and become such a pillar of society."
The director suddenly realized that he had accompanied the old man's eldest son back to his hometown and visited Chu Yuanchen. The eldest son attached great importance to teacher ethics and respected teachers very much.
In this way, there is no need to worry about Chu Lingyun's background.
He also didn't expect that Chu Lingyun actually had such a relationship with the chairman.
"Yes, very good."
The director nodded continuously. After knowing Chu Lingyun's family situation, he was even more satisfied. This meant that he had another bridge with the chairman.
Secretary Qi lowered his head and said nothing. He would tell the director whatever he wanted to know, and he would not say a word that he shouldn't say.
"Arrest him now?"
Chu Yuan received an order from his team leader to close the net and arrest the two Japanese spies who had been found, and they must be captured alive.
The case is under investigation and it is not time to close the net yet. Why is the team leader so anxious this time and the instructions are so harsh?
Chu Yuan was puzzled, but he would only obey Chu Lingyun's orders.
"Prepare to arrest someone."
Chu Yuan ordered his men to be ready. The postman was still outside delivering letters, so it would be easier to catch him. The postman's superior was in the eyewear store, so they had to plan carefully before they could take action.
Miyamoto Benjiro was delivering the letter leisurely on his bicycle.
He rode and whistled, and people greeted him from time to time on the road, and he responded one by one.
"Lao Su, there's a letter for you. Come sign for it."
When they arrived at the door of an ordinary resident, Miyamoto Jiro shouted loudly, and a man quickly came out and took the letter excitedly.
It is not easy to receive a letter these days. A letter from home is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Anyone who receives a letter will be happy, unless it is a bad letter.
"Thank you."
The man signed to confirm and did not forget to say thank you. Just as he raised his head, he was suddenly stunned.
Several team members pretended to walk and quietly came behind Miyamoto Jiro. Suddenly, they ran over with fear in the eyes of the man who signed. Miyamoto Jiro realized that something was wrong. Before he turned around, he felt a strong force coming at him and was pressed to the ground.
His car was overturned and many letters and newspapers were scattered on the ground.
One team member covered his mouth, while the others tore open his collar and controlled his entire body, searching it carefully.
White powder was quickly found inside the collar, but no other weapon was found.
"take away."
Liang Yu was in charge of the arrest. He was relieved to see that he had successfully caught the man. Miyamoto Benjiro's bicycle, as well as the letters and newspapers he had delivered were all taken back.
The arrest of the postman went smoothly. Chu Yuan asked someone to go into the eyewear store to investigate. The Japanese spy was always behind the counter, so it was not easy to lure him out.
This Japanese spy was most likely the team leader and had to be captured alive. Chu Yuan waited patiently and did not dare to continue the test.
At the Military Intelligence Department, Chu Lingyun returned to his office and immediately called Shen Hanwen and Loach, asking them to bring their people and follow him.
Tu Fang was still at the dock, and Chu Yuan had someone watching him there. There was no need for Chu Yuan to arrest Tu Fang, as he had been told this before.
But Tu Fang was on a mission and had a lot of people with him. If there were fewer people, it would be very likely that he would not be caught.
In order to carry out this arrest, Chu Lingyun received a lot of equipment from the equipment department.
We received three machine guns, one heavy machine gun, two light machine guns, and many rifles.
Chu Lingyun called Wang Sheng again, but Wang Sheng was not in the office. The secretary answered the phone and said that Director Wang had gone to the dock.
Wang Sheng already has a secretary. Chu Lingyun hung up the phone with a smile.
It would be better if Wang Sheng stayed at the dock. He would ask him to bring the police to cooperate with him. With his two teams plus the police, and so many heavy weapons, Tu Fang would not be able to escape.
Tu Fang was not a Japanese spy, but a traitor. He was not determined to die, so there was a great hope of capturing him alive.
Several large trucks, plus two small cars, drove out of the Military Intelligence Department in a mighty procession.
At the dock, Wang Sheng stood in front of the office building with a grim face. There were many policemen around him, and their faces were full of grief and anger.
The people from the Party Affairs Investigation Office have been investigating here for several days and have arrested many people, but they have never been told when the mission will be completed. With so many police officers unable to inspect the goods, many merchants' ships have been forced to stop here and cannot leave.
It would be fine for one or two days, but the people from the Party Affairs Investigation Office were slow to end their operation. They ate and drank with them every day, but didn't even care about their meals. These policemen had been holding back their resentment for a long time.
If you are angry, you will not put your heart into what you do.
As a result, they were discovered by people from the Party Affairs Investigation Office, who arrested two typical cases, brought them back and beat them. In a short while, the two policemen were beaten to death.
When the sheriff received the news and came to rescue them, the two were lying on the ground covered in blood and unconscious.
In anger, the sheriff argued with them and was beaten again.
Fortunately, the sheriff knew the situation and quickly gave in. Perhaps because of his status as a sheriff, the people from the Party Affairs Investigation Office showed him leniency and only gave him minor injuries before letting him go.
This is not the time when the Party Affairs Investigation Office first arrived and all the telephones were controlled by them.
The sheriff spent a lot of money before Tu Fang agreed to let him call the police station to rescue the person, but he only agreed to bring a doctor and did not agree to send the person to the hospital.
While on the phone, the sheriff told Wang Sheng everything, and Wang Sheng hurried over with his men.
All of these people are his men, so Wang Sheng can't help but ask.
After Wang Sheng arrived with doctors and his men, one of the two seriously injured policemen had already died and the other was dying. Even so, the people from the Party Affairs Investigation Office still refused to release them.
"What do you want to do? You know, we are carrying out an important mission. They are slacking off and not directly harming them. It's a light punishment. If you stay here, I will send you all to jail."
Wang Sheng brought a lot of policemen, but Tu Fang was not afraid at all. He remained tough and kept making harsh remarks.
He was indeed carrying out his mission, and the police did not cooperate. He just taught the police a lesson, but he didn't expect that they were so weak that one of them died.
At this time, Tu Fang was secretly cursing his men. Why did they use such heavy hands? It would have been fine if no one died, but it would have been a bit troublesome for them if someone died.
It’s not that they will be investigated or prosecuted. They have great power when performing their duties. If the police do not cooperate, they can even put a red hat on the police.
Once this hat is put on them, no one can save them.
Wang Sheng bit his lip and said nothing, but his eyes seemed to be on fire.
"Director."
The police chief limped to Wang Sheng with tears in his eyes. He felt that being a police officer was too frustrating. The people from the Party Affairs Investigation Office beat him up whenever they wanted and even dared to beat their brother to death.
"How's the other brother?"
Wang Sheng turned around and asked, one person had died and another doctor was treating him.
"The doctor said we had to be sent to the hospital, otherwise we might not be able to save him."
Having said that, the sheriff could no longer hold back his tears.
Although he is a bit greedy, he is still good to his subordinates. After all, if he wants to make more money, he has to rely on these capable subordinates.
Now one person was beaten to death and the other's life and death were unknown. A huge sense of humiliation filled his whole body.
"Captain Tu, my brother is seriously injured and has to go to the hospital. Please give me some help."
Wang Sheng looked at Tu Fang. He had to protect this brother. He had to take him away today no matter what.
"I told you, no! If you leak the secret, all of you will be finished."
Tu Fang glared. In front of him were his men, all holding guns, with the muzzles of their guns pointed at Wang Sheng and the others. However, the police under Wang Sheng did not dare to raise their guns at this time.
This is also the reason why Tu Fang is confident.
After all, they are the Party Affairs Investigation Office and are truly carrying out their mission. If anyone disrupts their operations, no police officer can bear the blame, including Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng felt a little regretful now. Why didn't he report to Commander Chu before coming here? Now he was in a difficult situation.
"Wang Sheng, what's going on here?"
Just as he was thinking, a group of people suddenly rushed in from outside. Tu Fang was stunned when he saw the people coming in, and Chu Lingyun also noticed the guns held by the people in front of Tu Fang.
"Who are you? Put down your gun."
Chu Lingyun knew that they were from the Party Affairs Investigation Office, but he still shouted deliberately. The people from Loach and Shen Hanwen's team following behind him all raised their guns, and two of them were holding light machine guns.
The other team members quickly dispersed, many of them holding rifles, with dozens of guns pointed at Tu Fang and the others.
Some people even carried a heavy machine gun and placed it on the ground. The pitch-black muzzle was very scary.
Henian had requested a secret arrest, but the conditions for a secret arrest were clearly not in place at the moment. This time it was the director's order, so Chu Lingyun could act accordingly.
"Commander Chu."
Wang Sheng was stunned. He didn't expect that Commander Chu would suddenly come when he was thinking about him, and brought so many people with him.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
Tu Fang was shocked to be pointed at by so many guns. Not all members of his team were there. The mission was important, and some people were outside searching for suspicious persons.
