My years of espionage

Chapter 2033 Dong Zhengguo: You framed me!
Wan Haiyang put down the letter in his hand, his face grim.

"This is pure slander and utter nonsense." Wan Haiyang said sternly, "Instead of doing anything practical, they only think about hurting people behind their backs and launching sneak attacks. It is precisely because the Party and the country have so many treacherous villains that they are becoming increasingly worrying."

"So, Brother Wan, you mean this is all slander?" Xiong Changhua looked at Wan Haiyang and asked with a smile.

"This is pure slander and defamation," Wan Haiyang said indignantly. "I have devoted myself to the Party and the country and have been loyal to Mr. Wang, yet I have been subjected to such slander and defamation. It is simply disgusting."

“Our special operations headquarters investigates banditry, pacifies the city, and maintains peace in the region. Inevitably, we offend some people, and these people seize the opportunity to spread rumors and slander us,” Wan Haiyang said.

"Brother Wan, do you know how this letter of accusation ended up in my hands?" Xiong Changhua asked, glancing at Wan Haiyang.

Wan Haiyang didn't speak, he just looked at Xiong Changhua.

……

“This letter was sent to my residence in Nanjing by someone,” Xiong Changhua said. “And the person who wrote this letter is someone Brother Wan knows, no, to be precise, Brother Wan is very familiar with this person.”

"Who is spreading rumors and slandering me?" Wan Haiyang asked, his face darkening.

"Dong Zhengguo, head of the Independent Investigation Section of the Intelligence Department," Xiong Changhua said slowly.

"Dong Zhengguo?" A cold glint flashed in Wan Haiyang's eyes, but he feigned surprise. "That's impossible. Section Chief Dong has always been diligent and has an excellent reputation. I have never offended him. Why would he do such a despicable thing as framing someone?"

"Whether it is or not, Brother Wan can find out by checking," Xiong Changhua said calmly. "The person who went to Nanjing to deliver the message was named Zhang Jiying."

"Brother Xiong, please wait a moment. I'll make a call and inquire about it," Wan Haiyang said. "It concerns the reputation of an outstanding cadre, so I have to investigate carefully."

"Brother Wan, please do as you please." Xiong Changhua nodded with a smile.

……

After making the phone call, Wan Haiyang had a banquet prepared at his residence, where he and Xiong Changhua drank and chatted happily.

Meng Dajun strode into the hall.

He approached Wan Haiyang, covered his mouth, and said, "Chief, we've found out. Zhang Jiying did go to Nanjing a few days ago. Nobody knows what he did there. After he came back, he secretly met with Dong Zhengguo."

"Arrest her," Wan Haiyang said coldly. "Today I want to see Zhang Jiying's statement."

"clear."

……

Late at night.

Suddenly, a torrential downpour began.

Wan Haiyang glanced at Zhang Jiying, whose body was already a bloody mess, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.

"Chief, Zhang Jiying has confessed." Meng Dajun handed the statement to Wan Haiyang.

“Zhang Jiying was indeed ordered by Dong Zhengguo to deliver a letter to Director Xiong in Nanjing,” Meng Dajun said. “Zhang Jiying did not read the letter and did not know what it said. However, Zhang Jiying confessed that he had secretly reported the ‘redemption’ to Dong Zhengguo. Dong Zhengguo was very angry and immediately threatened to report us to Mr. Wang in Nanjing.”

"Good, good, really good!" Wan Haiyang gritted his teeth in anger. "The brothers are living a miserable life. I was just thinking of helping them improve their lives, but someone is so despicable as to do such a despicable thing in secret."

"I didn't expect that Director Xiong wouldn't take this letter to Mr. Wang, but instead came to see you, Chief," Meng Dajun said with emotion. "Chief, does this mean he wants to cease hostilities with us?"

“When we compete with Xiong Changhua, whether it’s through underhanded tactics or open confrontation, we each rely on our own abilities,” Wan Haiyang said. “However, Dong Zhengguo’s actions are different. This scoundrel is trying to destroy the Special Agent Headquarters.”

“Chief, since Dong Zhengguo is so unrighteous, then don’t blame us for being unjust,” Meng Dajun said.

“No rush.” Wan Haiyang pondered for a moment and said, “This matter is not urgent. Since Xiong Changhua has come to Shanghai, we cannot get around him if we want to do things.”

“Then…” Meng Dajun said.

"Gather your men and have them ready to be deployed at any time," Wan Haiyang said coldly. "Wait for my orders."

"clear."

……

Wan Mansion.

Xiong Changhua carefully read the telegram draft, then he looked up at Wan Haiyang and asked, "Brother Wan, so, shall we send the telegram like this?"

“Okay.” Wan Haiyang nodded. “Let’s submit this jointly in the names of you and me, brothers.”

“However…” Xiong Changhua pondered for a moment, then said, “What I mean is, should we take them down first?”

“Alright.” Wan Haiyang gave Xiong Changhua a deep look and nodded. “To avoid any leaks, it’s safer to arrest him first.”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The telegram was sent to Nanjing jointly by the two of them, so there was no worry about it being leaked. The most important thing was to arrest the person first and create a fait accompli.

……

76 Jesfield Road.

Independent Investigations Section, Intelligence Division.

Several agents who remained on duty were smoking and talking when the door was suddenly pushed open.

Faced with the heavily armed agents who rushed in, the men were stunned for a moment, then their expressions changed. "What's going on? What are you doing?"

"Don't move, or I'll shoot," Meng Dajun said with a cold snort.

Seeing Meng Dajun's expression, the group was both shocked and frightened, but they really dared not move.

"Tie him up, gag him, and take him away." Meng Dajun waved his hand.

……

Jingle Bell.

Dong Zhengguo was awakened by the sudden ringing of the telephone.

"What's wrong?" Feng Man groggily opened her eyes and saw her husband get out of bed to answer the phone, so she couldn't help but ask.

"I understand. You guys stay calm and don't alert them. I'm on my way," Dong Zhengguo said, then hung up the phone.

"Where are you going so late?" Feng Man asked again.

"It's a call from Jessfield Road, from 'Upturned Mouth,' reporting that they've discovered traces of the Red Party," Dong Zhengguo said. "We've been keeping an eye on this Red Party member for some time now, and we thought he'd disappeared, but we didn't expect him to pop up again."

"Why can't we just leave this to 'Qiaozui' and the others? Why make you, the section chief, go over there so late at night?" Feng Man said with dissatisfaction.

"'Qiaozui' said he had made a major discovery, but he didn't dare to make the decision himself and needed me to decide," Dong Zhengguo said. As he spoke, he had already changed out of his pajamas and put on his clothes. "Alright, it's my duty. You should go to sleep early. I don't know how long I'll be busy once I leave."

"Then be careful," Feng Man nodded and said.

"Don't worry," Dong Zhengguo said with a smile. "Shanghai is now under the control of the Special Agent Headquarters. Those anti-Japanese elements are too busy hiding to even think about it."

……

76 Jessfield Road.

Intelligence Division, Independent Investigations Section Office.

With his face swollen and his lips pouting, he put down the phone receiver, subconsciously wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He turned to Meng Dajun and looked at him ingratiatingly, "Commander Meng, the call was made, see?"

"Farewell." Meng Dajun stepped forward and plunged a dagger directly into 'Upturned Mouth's' chest, twisting the dagger forcefully. "Be smarter in your next life, don't follow the wrong officer again."

"Upturned Mouth" widened its eyes, twitched twice, and finally remained still.

He had thought that one day he would be killed by the Red Party or by the Chongqing Military Intelligence Bureau, but he never expected to die at the hands of his own people.

"Drag it away." Meng Dajun glanced at the corpse on the ground with disdain and said coldly.

……

About half an hour later.

A car drove into the yard on Jesfield Road.

Dong Zhengguo hurriedly got out of the car.

He didn't even bother to open an umbrella and rushed into the office building in the rain.

In the dead of night, the secret service headquarters was still quiet, although many people were on duty and the screams of anti-Japanese elements being tortured could be faintly heard. However, it was much calmer and quieter than during the day.

Dong Zhengguo walked down the corridor.

He frowned suddenly.

The corridor was unusually quiet.

Just then, an agent from the operations department hurried past.

"You Shuheng," Dong Zhengguo called out to the man.

"Section Chief Dong." You Shuheng stopped and, upon recognizing Dong Zhengguo, exclaimed in surprise, "Section Chief Dong, you're still here so late?"

……

"Where did everyone go? Why is it so quiet?" Dong Zhengguo asked.

"We discovered traces of a man suspected to be 'Little Taoist,' the head of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai Special Operations Division, on Telusto Road," You Shuheng said. "Commander Liu personally led a team there."

"I see." Dong Zhengguo nodded.

It turns out that the whereabouts of Xiao Mian's general, "Little Taoist," had been discovered. Any intelligence related to the Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau is extremely important, let alone one involving Xiao Mian's general, "Little Taoist." Naturally, it was necessary to mobilize elite troops to search for him, which explains the situation.

……

Dong Zhengguo arrived at the door of his office.

He took out his keys and was about to open the door when his heart skipped a beat.

At the end of the corridor was the duty room of the Independent Investigation Department, where "Upturned Mouth" and three of his subordinates were on duty.

He was just talking to You Shuheng. His men, including "Qiaozui," should have heard his voice. Why didn't anyone come out to greet him?
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from behind, or rather from both sides.

Dong Zhengguo glanced at it subconsciously, and then his expression changed drastically.

Then they saw more than a dozen people surrounding them from both the left and right sides. These people were all brothers from the interrogation room, or more precisely, Wan Haiyang's men.

These people pointed their guns at him, their faces filled with murderous intent.

The person in charge was Meng Dajun, Wan Haiyang's deputy.

"Deputy Director Meng, what do you mean by this?" Dong Zhengguo instinctively reached for his gun, frowning as he questioned Meng Dajun.

"Dong Zhengguo, I advise you not to make a move, or bullets won't have eyes," Meng Dajun said coldly.

Dong Zhengguo's face was cold, but his heart skipped a beat because Meng Dajun addressed him by his given name instead of his official title, which was a very bad sign.

……

"Meng Dajun, what are you doing?" Dong Zhengguo shouted.

"Upon investigation, Dong Zhengguo has been found to be a spy planted in Chongqing and infiltrated into our intelligence headquarters," Meng Dajun said in a deep voice. "The evidence is conclusive; arrest him."

"Meng Dajun, you're talking nonsense." Dong Zhengguo's face changed drastically. He was pounced on and pinned down by several people. He struggled and shouted, "I, Dong, am loyal to Mr. Wang. Don't try to smear me."

"What are you standing there for? Gag him!" Meng Dajun snorted coldly, and only after seeing that Dong Zhengguo's mouth was gagged did he nod in satisfaction.

He waved his hand, "Take him away."

Then, he turned to his men and said, "Continue the arrests. Don't let any of Dong Zhengguo's accomplices get away."

"understand!"

……

76 Jesfield Road.

Secret interrogation room number six.

When Dong Zhengguo saw Wan Haiyang and Xiong Changhua appear together, he immediately understood everything.

His mouth was gagged, and he struggled desperately, making muffled noises.

As soon as Wan Haiyang turned his head, Meng Dajun went up and forcefully ripped the rag out of Dong Zhengguo's mouth.

"Director Xiong, you betrayed me!" Dong Zhengguo stared at Xiong Changhua with eyes full of hatred and questioned him loudly.

Strictly speaking, he didn't hate Wan Haiyang too much for attacking him. After all, it was Wan Haiyang who attacked him, so it was only natural for Wan Haiyang to retaliate.

However, he could not understand why Xiong Changhua would treat him this way.

Xiong Changhua and Wan Haiyang were locked in a life-or-death struggle. Xiong Changhua kindly reported Wan Haiyang's acceptance of money to harbor Red Party members and Chongqing elements. Instead of being grateful, Xiong Changhua not only did not take action against Wan Haiyang, but also tipped him off. Moreover, the two were practically in cahoots.

“Dong Zhengguo,” Xiong Changhua said with a serious expression, “you hid it too well, managing to deceive all of us for so long.”

……

Dong Zhengguo immediately understood Xiong Changhua's meaning, and he roared resolutely, "Bullshit! I am loyal to Mr. Wang, don't even think about throwing mud at me."

“Dong Zhengguo, your subordinate ‘Qiaozui’ has confessed,” Meng Dajun said from the side. “‘Qiaozui’ identified you as his superior and leader. You, Dong Zhengguo, are the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau’s Shanghai Independent Action Department. Not only that, you have also been secretly recruiting Military Intelligence Bureau members on a large scale within the Independent Investigation Section!”

"How dare you!" Wan Haiyang shouted coldly. "To actually carry the flag of Nanjing while doing things in Chongqing is simply outrageous and extremely audacious!"

"Bullshit!" Dong Zhengguo was furious. "What director of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai Independent Operations Department? I don't understand what you're talking about at all."

"Dong Zhengguo, this is a confession written by 'Qiaozui' himself. How dare you deny it?" Meng Dajun slammed his hand on the table and said.

Wan Haiyang glanced at Meng Dajun almost imperceptibly.

"Impossible, this is all baseless," Dong Zhengguo shouted.

He suddenly looked at Wan Haiyang and said, "Director Wan, if you want to punish me, just do it openly. Throwing such mud at me is too despicable."

“Stubborn to the end,” Xiong Changhua said from the side. Then he said to Wan Haiyang, “Why say so much to such a scoundrel who is so devoted to Chongqing? The evidence is already conclusive.”

"Conclusive evidence?" Dong Zhengguo was so angry he felt like vomiting blood. "I am the head of the Independent Investigation Section of the Intelligence Department of the Special Agent Headquarters. I am loyal to Mr. Wang. I was personally received and commended by Mr. Wang."

He gritted his teeth and said, "You're trying to frame me, you're trying to harm me. You have no right to arrest me. I want to see Mr. Wang. I want to go to Nanjing to see Mr. Wang."

“The evidence is conclusive, and you have no room for argument.” Wan Haiyang waved the ‘evidence’ in his hand and said with a sinister expression, “See Mr. Wang? I’m afraid you’re here to assassinate him.”

Dong Zhengguo was so angry he felt like vomiting blood. His eyes were fixed on the so-called 'evidence' in Wan Haiyang's hand. Suddenly, he shouted, "Bullshit! Bullshit!"

Dong Zhengguo roared hoarsely, "'Qiaozui' is illiterate! Where would he get a handwritten confession? You're wrongly accusing an illiterate person of writing a confession!!!"
