My years of espionage

Chapter 2034 Great Purge

After Dong Zhengguo left, Feng Man felt uneasy and inexplicably panicked.

Just then, the phone rang.

"Who is this?" Feng Man picked up the phone, yawned, and asked.

"Sister-in-law, it's me." A voice came from the other end of the phone, "Ah Bing."

Ah Bing?

Feng Man was taken aback at first, then his expression immediately became extremely serious.

Even though the other person was deliberately speaking in a hoarse voice, she still knew who was on the other end of the phone.

……

"Brother Dong is in trouble. Wan Haiyang and Xiong Changhua have teamed up to take action against the Independent Investigation Department," A Bing said.

"What?" Feng Man exclaimed in surprise. "Ah, Brother Bing, how is your Brother Dong?"

"The chances of him surviving are slim. Wan Haiyang won't let Brother Dong live past tonight," A Bing said. "Let's go, leave Shanghai immediately."

"I want to stay, I want to save people," Feng Man said through gritted teeth.

"Let's go!" Ah Bing said, "As long as the green hills remain, we'll never run out of firewood."

After saying that, Ah Bing hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Feng Man was stunned and somewhat absent-minded.

……

76 Jesfield Road.

Two military trucks, surrounded by several cars in front and behind, rushed out of the gate of No. 76 Jessfield Road in the torrential rain.

Mass graves on the banks of the Suzhou River.

A subordinate stood beside Meng Dajun, holding an umbrella and a flashlight.

Amidst the torrential rain, Meng Dajun loudly read out the execution order by the dim light of his flashlight.

"...Zhao Hetian and 25 other criminals, including five Communist Party members, sixteen Chongqing elements, three Soviet agents, and two extremely vicious and popular bandits... a total of 25 people..."

"...Execute them all!"

Meng Dajun folded the verdict and put it in his jacket pocket, then coldly waved his hand and shouted, "Execute!"

Bang bang bang!

A burst of gunfire rang out.

All 25 members of the Independent Investigation Section of the 76th Intelligence Bureau, except for Section Chief Dong Zhengguo and "Qiaozui" who had already been executed, were shot.

……

"Meng Dajun, you will die a horrible death!" Dong Zhengguo, bound and watching all his men being executed, was almost driven mad and let out a hysterical scream.

“Section Chief Dong.” Meng Dajun looked at Dong Zhengguo, and as he reached out, one of his subordinates handed him a rope.

Meng Dajun stepped out of the umbrella's reach and walked behind Dong Zhengguo in the downpour, then used a rope to strangle Dong Zhengguo's neck.

Dong Zhengguo's face immediately turned red, and he couldn't breathe.

"Brother Dong, I will take good care of your wife," Meng Dajun said to Dong Zhengguo from behind.

Uh uh uh!
Dong Zhengguo struggled suddenly and let out a final roar, which startled Meng Dajun.

He locked onto Dong Zhengguo and released his grip, kicking him to the ground. He then abandoned his plan to strangle Dong Zhengguo, drew his sidearm, and fired at Dong Zhengguo.

Snap, snap, snap, snap!

The magazine of the pistol was emptied directly.

That wasn't enough. Meng Dajun then took a large knife and chopped off Dong Zhengguo's head.

"Go, throw your head into the Huangpu River." Meng Dajun said through gritted teeth, handing the severed head to one of his men while holding it by the hair.

……

The heavy rain finally stopped around 9:15 a.m.

Cheng Qianfan hurriedly met with Chu Mingyu.

Minister Chu and Secretary-General Chu seemed to have had a hangover last night; they reeked of alcohol and appeared quite listless.

"Uncle Chu," Cheng Qianfan said urgently, "something has happened."

"What's the panic? The sky isn't going to fall." Chu Mingyu yawned, glared at Cheng Qianfan, and said.

He danced for half the night at the Cinque Terre and played mahjong for a while, and now his head is spinning.

“Yes, it’s my fault for not being steady enough,” Cheng Qianfan said immediately.

"Tell me, what happened?" Chu Mingyu took a sip of tea, yawned, and asked.

“Something happened on Jessfield Road last night,” Cheng Qianfan said. “Xiong Changhua and Wan Haiyang joined forces and wiped out the entire Independent Investigation Section of the Intelligence Department.”

"What nonsense is this?" Chu Mingyu was a little confused. "You mean Wan Haiyang and Xiong Changhua joined forces to attack the intelligence department of the Seventy-Sixth Bureau?"

"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded.

……

"How could this be?" Chu Mingyu frowned, then suddenly asked, "Wait, shouldn't Xiong Changhua be in Nanjing? How come he's in Shanghai?"

“I don’t know about that.” Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said to Chu Mingyu, “The information I’ve received is that Xiong Changhua is at No. 76, and he launched the operation against the Independent Investigation Department together with Wan Haiyang.”

"So, these two have called a truce?!" Chu Mingyu said thoughtfully. "Not only that, they also took action against the Independent Investigation Section of the Intelligence Bureau?"

"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded.

"If I remember correctly, the head of the Independent Investigation Section of this Intelligence Bureau is the Dong Zhengguo you mentioned who might be supported by the Shanghai Special Higher Police?" Chu Mingyu asked.

“It is indeed this person,” Cheng Qianfan said immediately.

"So, it's because Xiong and Wan knew that Dong Zhengguo was vying for power, so they made their move against him first?" Chu Mingyu asked.

Then he shook his head in denial, saying, "No, no, no."

If it's a power struggle, you can resort to underhanded tactics or even frame someone, but you absolutely cannot take such open physical action.

Moreover, according to Cheng Qianfan, it was Wan Haiyang's interrogation department and Xiong Changhua's action department that joined forces to take action against the Independent Investigation Department!
……

"What are the specifics?" Chu Mingyu asked immediately.

"I'm not quite sure," Cheng Qianfan said. He quickly explained to Chu Mingyu, "After all, the area around Jessfield Road is very special, and it's impossible to monitor that area. So, I can only get a general idea of ​​what happened there; I don't know the specifics."

Chu Mingyu nodded slightly.

If Cheng Qianfan truly knew everything about what was happening on Jessfield Road and was very clear about the inside story, then that would be wrong.

"I'll make a phone call," Chu Mingyu said.

Cheng Qianfan stood still. Since Chu Mingyu hadn't asked him to leave, he naturally didn't need to.

……

"Okay, I got it. Let's play cards sometime." Chu Mingyu hung up the phone, his expression very serious.

“Uncle Chu,” Cheng Qianfan said.

“You’re right. It was Wan Haiyang and Xiong Changhua who joined forces to launch an operation against the Independent Investigation Section of the Intelligence Department,” Chu Mingyu said.

“Specifically…” Cheng Qianfan said.

"Wan Haiyang and Xiong Changhua jointly called Nanjing, reporting that a case involving Chongqing elements and Red Party members had been discovered within the Special Agent Headquarters, and that the verdict had been urgently executed to set the record straight," Chu Mingyu said.

"A verdict?" Cheng Qianfan frowned. "It can't be..."

"Just as you think," Chu Mingyu said. "He was executed."

“From Dong Zhengguo, the head of the Independent Investigation Section, down to the other twenty-seven people in the entire Independent Investigation Section, all of them had problems and were all executed,” Chu Mingyu said coldly.

"Twenty-seven people? All executed?" Cheng Qianfan exclaimed in shock. "Dong Zhengguo is dead too?"

Chu Mingyu nodded.

……

"Wan Haiyang and Xiong Changhua are incredibly audacious!" Cheng Qianfan's expression changed repeatedly as he said, "They don't really think they can get away with this excuse and silence the gossip, do they?"

The Independent Investigation Section of the 76th Intelligence Division, from its head Dong Zhengguo down, had all twenty-seven members with serious problems—so serious that they were all executed on emergency orders. How could this be?!
"Public opinion?" Chu Mingyu shook his head with a cold laugh. "Whose opinion? Who would truly care about the deaths of Dong Zhengguo and the others?"

“Shanghai Special Higher Police…” Cheng Qianfan blurted out, then immediately shook his head, “It’s hard to say, hard to say, hard to say.”

Then, he looked at Chu Mingyu and said with a serious expression, "Uncle Chu, what I am most curious about and concerned about now is why Wan Haiyang and Xiong Changhua suddenly attacked Dong Zhengguo."

He shook his head and asked, "What specific reasons did they give?"

……

"The Independent Investigation Section has 27 members. The section chief, Dong Zhengguo, is a member of the Chongqing Military Intelligence Bureau and the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai Independent Action Office. Furthermore, Dong Zhengguo has used his position to extensively recruit and place Military Intelligence Bureau members within the Independent Investigation Section."

"Among them, sixteen members of the Independent Investigation Section were Kuomintang agents."

"In addition, there are five Red Party members who have been infiltrated into the Red Party."

"In addition, there were three Soviet Russian spymen."

"And then there are Dong Zhengguo, who accepted bribes and arranged for him to work in the Independent Investigation Department, concealing his identity as a vicious and extremely hated criminal..." Chu Mingyu snorted coldly and said, "Very good, the entire Independent Investigation Department, from Dong Zhengguo down, consists of twenty-seven villains!"

Cheng Qianfan's expression changed repeatedly. He cautiously asked Chu Mingyu, "Uncle Chu, what did they say in Nanjing?"

"Zhou Liang replied," Chu Mingyu said, "'Well done.'"

Cheng Qianfan frowned but said nothing.

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally asked, "Has Mr. Wang not received a report?"

"Madam Wang has replied to Wan Haiyang, strongly supporting the Special Agent Headquarters' internal investigation and purge of the corrupt elements," Chu Mingyu said.

Cheng Qianfan noticed that when Chu Mingyu said this, there was an undisguised weariness and a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone and expression.

Clearly, Chu Mingyu did not approve of Mrs. Wang's attitude in this matter.

Or, to put it another way, it would be better for Mrs. Wang to remain silent than to hastily make such a statement.

Just then, Cheng Qianfan seemed to realize something, and his expression changed.

"What's wrong?" Chu Mingyu noticed the change in Cheng Qianfan's expression and immediately asked.

……

"I heard from Sister Xia that Uncle Chu intends to let his nephew take over the intelligence department." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully, "We haven't really taken control of this side yet, and they suddenly made a move against the independent investigation section of the intelligence department."

His brows furrowed, and his face darkened. "Could they be after us?"

“It’s unlikely.” Chu Mingyu shook his head. “Whether it’s Wan Haiyang or Xiong Changhua, not only do they not have the guts, but they are smart people and would not use such means to put pressure on us.”

“Indeed.” Cheng Qianfan nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, “There’s no reason to come up and kill dozens of our own men to put pressure on them and intimidate them.”

"The specifics can't be kept secret any longer, and I believe more details will emerge soon," Chu Mingyu said.

“Dong Zhengguo is dead. The situation on the Shanghai Special Higher Police is worth paying attention to,” Cheng Qianfan said immediately. “I’ll go see Araki Harima and find out more.”

"Okay." Chu Mingyu nodded.

He pondered for a moment and said, "After this incident, your appointment as the head of the intelligence department at the Special Agent Headquarters can no longer be delayed; in fact, we need to speed things up."

……

“As far as I know, Dong Zhengguo’s Independent Investigation Division was the backbone of the Intelligence Department. Now that all of Dong Zhengguo’s men are dead, the Intelligence Department of the Special Agent Headquarters can no longer be described as just crippled,” Cheng Qianfan said with a frown. “It’s like the house is about to collapse.”

"No destruction, no construction," Chu Mingyu said in a deep voice. "Looking at the good side of this situation, it is actually just right for you to take charge of the intelligence department."

He instructed, "Qianfan, from now on, you must actively consider how to rebuild and take control of the work of the 76th Intelligence Division."

"I understand, nephew." Cheng Qianfan nodded and quickly expressed his understanding.

……

After half an hour.

Liu Xia rushed to Chu Mingyu's office.

"Secretary-General, the police station just called," Liu Xia said.

"What is it?" Chu Mingyu asked, frowning.

"Secretary Cheng and his men clashed with Meng Dajun from No. 76. The two sides were locked in a standoff with guns drawn, and there was a risk of an accidental shooting at any moment," Liu Xia said.

"Qianfan?" Chu Mingyu frowned. "Didn't he go to the Special Higher Police to meet with Araki Harima? How did he end up running into Meng Dajun's men?"

Liu Xia's expression was somewhat strange.

"What exactly is going on?" Chu Mingyu asked immediately. "Where is he?"

“Yes, at Dong Zhengguo’s house,” Liu Xia said.

"What was he doing at Dong Zhengguo's house?" Chu Mingyu frowned.

Regardless of the truth behind the execution of all members of Dong Zhengguo's independent investigation team, since both Madam Wang and Zhou Liang have already defined the nature of the matter, even though this hasty definition cannot withstand scrutiny, a definition is a definition. At the very least, Cheng Qianfan can no longer openly investigate the truth of the matter.

wrong.

Chu Mingyu shook his head. He knew his nephew well. With Cheng Qianfan's intelligence, it was impossible for him not to have figured out the details. He would not do something so irrational.

……

"Explain yourself clearly." Chu Mingyu glanced at Liu Xia, whose expression was strange, and said irritably, "What exactly was Qianfan doing there? And how did he end up in conflict with Wan Haiyang's men?"

“Secretary Cheng went to Dong Zhengguo’s house and happened to run into Meng Dajun with his men there,” Liu Xia said. “According to the police station’s phone call, Secretary Cheng was very angry. He demanded that Meng Dajun take the man, and a fierce confrontation ensued.”

"We need people? What kind of people?" Chu Mingyu asked, puzzled.

“Feng Man,” Liu Xia said.

"Feng Man?" Chu Mingyu's expression changed, becoming extremely gloomy. "Dong Zhengguo's wife, Feng Man?"
