My years of espionage

Chapter 2077 Dogs fighting, a mouthful of fur!

"Get it under control!" Cheng Qianfan got out of the passenger seat of the second military truck. He was wearing sunglasses and didn't even look at Ouyang Liqing. He said calmly.

"Yes!" Two team members immediately stepped forward and took Ouyang Liqing into custody.

"Cheng Qianfan, what are you doing? Let me go! Let me go!" Ouyang Liqing struggled.

"Believe it or not, if you don't behave, I'll kill you!" Cheng Qianfan stepped forward and stared at Ouyang Liqing.

Ouyang Liqing opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he closed his mouth and dared not make any more trouble.

Although he felt that Cheng Qianfan wouldn't dare to kill him, reason told him that it was best to be honest at this time.

"Search!" Cheng Qianfan said calmly.

"Search!" Li Hao shouted immediately. "Don't miss any corner! Anyone who dares to obstruct us, shoot them on sight!"

"understand!"

Ouyang Liqing looked on with grief and indignation as he watched the people from the Third Political Security Bureau swarm in like locusts, turning the entire Zhabei branch into chaos.

……

"Chief, we've made a discovery!"

"The Director has also made a discovery here!"

"Chief, we've found it!"

Team members kept running up to report the situation to Cheng Qianfan.

That's good.

Even if the gold wasn't hidden here, the Zhabei branch's warehouse would certainly contain contraband.

The Zhabei branch has its own anti-smuggling team and anti-smuggling warehouse. These days, anyone involved in anti-smuggling is bound to be honest and law-abiding.

……

"Director Ouyang, how do you explain this?" Cheng Qianfan pointed to the warehouse full of contraband, snorted, and said.

Dozens of barrels of gasoline, as well as alcohol, medicine, dry batteries, and even car tires, cotton, cloth, grain and other miscellaneous items were found in the warehouse.

There was even an old radio that looked like it was broken down.

"Director Cheng," Ouyang Liqing said irritably, "Our Zhabei branch has the authority to investigate smuggling. Is there a problem with temporarily storing contraband in a warehouse?"

"Whether it's investigating contraband or embezzlement, Director Ouyang, you know best in your heart," Cheng Qianfan said.

Just then, Li Hao came to Cheng Qianfan's side and whispered, "Brother Fan, I've found something."

"Move out!" Cheng Qianfan said coldly.

……

The team members stepped forward, moved the cotton bales aside, and then carried out several wooden boxes from inside.

The box was opened with a crowbar.

It was full of sawdust.

They poured out the sawdust and then found a small box inside.

The small box was pried open, and heavy gold nuggets clattered to the ground. Their golden luster shimmered, making everyone's eyes light up.

"Open them all!" Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice.

The other boxes were pried open, and similarly, small boxes inside were found to contain glittering gold nuggets.

Li Hao stepped forward, picked up a piece of gold, examined it carefully, and even took a bite. Then he turned to Cheng Qianfan and said, "Brother Fan, it's gold!"

Cheng Qianfan's expression changed drastically!
……

"Director Ouyang, how do you explain this?" Cheng Qianfan asked Ouyang Liqing with a cold expression.

Ouyang Liqing's expression changed drastically. "This, this, I don't know! Director Cheng, Brother Cheng, I really don't know."

Cheng Qianfan stared at Ouyang Liqing. Judging from Ouyang Liqing's reaction, he seemed genuinely unaware that the anti-smuggling team's warehouse contained gold.

"Director Cheng, you have to believe me, I really don't know!" Ouyang Liqing was terrified.

The Japanese were frantically searching for gold everywhere and enacted extremely strict gold control laws. He knew very well that the gold that suddenly appeared in the customs warehouse was a blatant death warrant for him.

“Director Ouyang, Director Ouyang!” Cheng Qianfan said coldly, “So many contraband items were found in your bureau’s warehouse, including so much gold. Tell me you know nothing about it?”

He stepped forward and kicked Ouyang Liqing to the ground, saying, "Do you think I'd believe that you, the bureau chief? Are you stupid?"

……

"Director Cheng..." Ouyang Liqing practically tumbled and crawled, "You have to believe me, I really didn't know."

"Tie him up!" Cheng Qianfan said coldly. "Take him away!"

"Take them all away!" he waved his hand.

"Yes!"

The surrounding residents of Zhabei watched from afar, finding it truly astonishing that a group of heavily armed men had stormed into the Zhabei Police Station and arrested all the officers.

Many citizens felt extremely pleased to see the police officers being disarmed and taken away, looking dejected.
Dogs fighting! A mouthful of fur!

……

"Something terrible has happened!" Bi Qixuan pushed open the door and said in a panic.

"Don't overreact, calm down." Jing Qingxi held a glass of red wine in her hand and glanced at Bi Qixuan. "The sky isn't going to fall."

Their fathers were all prominent figures in the Nanjing government, and they feared no one except the Japanese.

“The Political Security Bureau surrounded the Zhabei Police Station,” Bi Qixuan said. “They arrested all the police officers.”

With a loud bang.

Jing Qingxi's wine glass fell to the ground, staining the luxurious carpet with red wine, as glaring as fresh blood.

"Where's the warehouse!" Jing Qingxi suddenly stood up. "Where's our gold?"

"The warehouse was searched by the Political Security Bureau. The gold, the gold should be..." Bi Qixuan's face turned pale.

"Who did this?" Jing Qingxi's face contorted with rage. "Wan Haiyang? What is he trying to do?"

Shanghai is under the jurisdiction of the First Political Security Bureau. Has Wan Haiyang gone mad and actually done this?

“It’s not the First Bureau of Political Security,” Bi Qixuan said. “It’s Cheng Qianfan, and it’s his Third Bureau of Political Security.”

……

"Cheng Qianfan?" Jing Qingxi's face was grim. "Is he insane? What gives him the right? What does he want?"

Then he froze. He then remembered that Cheng Qianfan had a branch office in Shanghai under the Third Political Security Bureau. Strictly speaking, Cheng Qianfan had the authority to take action in Shanghai.

“No, Cheng Qianfan’s Political Security Bureau’s jurisdiction was limited to the former French Concession. Zhabei was not part of the French Concession,” Jing Qingxi said loudly.

Bi Qixuan looked at Jing Qingxi. Among the three of them, Jing Qingxi had always been the one making decisions. He used to think that Jing Qingxi was very capable, but now, in this emergency, he felt that Jing Qingxi was so incompetent.

Now that Cheng Qianfan has taken action, what's the point of you still worrying about the jurisdiction of Cheng Qianfan's Political Security Bureau No. 3?
"Boss, is now the time to be agonizing over this?" Bi Qixuan asked anxiously.

"Yes! Make a call!" Jing Qingxi seemed to wake from a dream. He went straight to the bedside table, picked up the phone, and said, "Call Nanjing."

He had previously thought he looked down on Cheng Qianfan and even considered saying goodbye to him.

However, when things really got out of hand, he realized that he was completely defenseless against Cheng Qianfan. To put it bluntly, he, as a young master, had no right to speak directly with Cheng Qianfan, let alone resist him.

There's no other reason than that, although his father was Jing Muyun, a member of the Central Committee, he himself was just a playboy, while Cheng Qianfan held real power, or rather, the power of life and death. No, Cheng Qianfan could already be described as a regional warlord!

……

"I want the mansion on Yihe Road in Nanjing, the mansion of Committee Member Jing Muyun!" Jing Qingxi shouted into the phone.

Just then, the door was kicked open.

Jing Qingxi turned her head and saw Cheng Qianfan, wearing a trench coat and sunglasses, walk in. He was holding a handkerchief in his hand and wiping his mouth as he walked.

Behind Cheng Qianfan were more than a dozen men with short guns in hand, looking fierce and menacing.

With a crash, the telephone receiver fell from Jing Qingxi's hand.

"Hello, who is this?" The call was about to connect when Jing Muyun's voice came through.

Just as Jing Qingxi was about to pick up the phone receiver, she saw more than a dozen dark gun barrels pointed at her.

He immediately froze.

Cheng Qianfan strode forward, bent down to pick up the telephone receiver, and said, "Wrong number."

Then I simply put the phone receiver back on.

……

Nanjing.

Jing Mansion.

Jing Muyun looked at the telephone receiver in his hand and listened for a while. There was only a busy tone. He frowned.

Wrong call?
……

"Director Cheng, I've heard so much about you." Jing Qingxi took a deep breath. "What's going on here?"

Cheng Qianfan glanced at Jing Qingxi with disdain.

Just a slap in the face.

Jing Qingxi was slapped to the ground, and one of his teeth flew out. He covered his mouth, seemingly frightened by the slap, and was speechless.

"Do we know each other?" Cheng Qianfan sneered.

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

Several henchmen stepped forward, first skillfully gagging Jing Qingxi and Bi Qixuan, then binding them tightly and escorting them out.

After Qingxi and Bi Qixuan fiercely resisted, they were beaten and kicked before they finally calmed down.

The two were led out of the room and saw Xiao Aocheng in the corridor, his face bruised and swollen, his mouth gagged, and his body bound hand and foot.

……

Wow!

The documents on the table and the teacup were swept to the floor.

Wan Haiyang's face turned ashen.

"What is he going to do?!" Wan Haiyang said through gritted teeth. "What is Cheng Qianfan going to do?!"

Shanghai was the territory of his Political Security Bureau. Although he didn't know why Cheng Qianfan suddenly went crazy and attacked the Zhabei Branch of the Police Station, this action itself was a slap in the face to Wan Haiyang!
"Director!" Qu Kairui said in a low voice.

"Have you figured out what happened?" Wan Haiyang took a deep breath. "What exactly provoked Cheng Qianfan? He actually shut down the Zhabei branch of the Public Security Bureau!"

Although the Political Security Bureau has the power of life and death, directly dismantling a police precinct and reportedly killing several police officers is no ordinary matter. Unless there is a very good reason, Cheng Qianfan will be in deep trouble.

Moreover, Zhabei is under the jurisdiction of the First Political Security Bureau, and Cheng Qianfan's actions clearly overstepped his bounds!

"They said the Zhabei branch found a lot of contraband," Qu Kairui said.

……

"Contraband?" Wan Haiyang frowned. "That's all?"

"It's said that gold was found there," Qu Kairui added.

"Gold?" Wan Haiyang's eyes narrowed as he looked at Qu Kairui.

"Yes," Qu Kairui nodded, "and the quantity is not small."

Wan Haiyang frowned and plopped down in a chair.

Despite his still immense anger, he was well aware of the nature of the matter, given that it involved gold, and a considerable amount of it.

When it comes to gold, let alone crossing the line, even if there were more serious circumstances, this lawsuit probably wouldn't be able to touch Cheng Qianfan, even if it went all the way to Nanjing.

Because he was Japanese, he was very clear about the almost cruel plundering nature of the Japanese when it came to gold.

"What else did you find out?" he asked Qu Kairui.

"I don't know about the others yet." Qu Kairui shook his head. "The Zhabei branch was wiped out by Cheng Qianfan. His men are still guarding Zhabei, and no one is allowed to approach them."

……

"Something's not right! Something's not right!" Wan Haiyang pondered, "Something's not right!"

"Director, something's not right," Qu Kairui asked.

“Nothing’s right!” Wan Haiyang said. “The discovery of gold at the Zhabei branch is suspicious, and Cheng Qianfan’s actions against the Zhabei branch are also suspicious. How did he know that the Zhabei branch had gold?”

As he spoke, his expression darkened, and he said, "No, Cheng Qianfan must know that the Zhabei branch has gold, otherwise he wouldn't dare to do this!"

It's a joke that they would attack the Zhabei branch of the Public Security Bureau just because of contraband, and even shoot and kill a police officer while breaking in!

Cheng Qianfan dared to order the shooting, so he must have something to rely on, and that reliance was that this guy might know that the Zhabei branch had gold hidden there!

"What are you all doing! You know nothing about something so important!" Wan Haiyang suddenly cursed.

"Trash! They're all trash!"

Qu Kairui was initially confused by Wan Haiyang's harsh scolding, but then he immediately understood.

The bureau chief was criticizing the fact that the Zhabei branch bureau had such important intelligence as gold, yet their Political Security Bureau didn't know about it!
That's gold!

This is like having a piece of fat meat right in their mouths, and they don't even realize it, just watching others snatch the fat meat from their bowls!
……

"Director, even if it's gold, even if Cheng Qianfan seized it, it's not his!" Qu Kairui said. "As long as the Japanese ask, wouldn't Cheng Qianfan obediently hand over the gold?"

"You know nothing!" Wan Haiyang cursed.

Not to mention the petty squandering of every passing goose, everyone will try to get a share of the gold they've already acquired.

Even if we assume the worst and the Japanese took all the gold, they couldn't just rob it; they should at least offer some compensation.

Not to mention, the Japanese have an insatiable thirst for gold, so seizing a large amount of gold was already a major achievement!
"What are you all standing there for?" Wan Haiyang glared at Qu Kairui. "Go investigate, find out exactly what happened."

"Gold can't appear out of thin air, investigate!"

"Yes!" Qu Kairui left in a disheveled state.

……

Qu Kairui returned just over ten minutes later.

"Did you find it?" Wan Haiyang asked.

Qu Kairui shook his head.

"Then what are you doing back here?" Wan Haiyang snapped irritably.

"Director, we just received news that Cheng Qianfan personally led a team to the Astor House Hotel and arrested three people," Qu Kairui said.

"Hmm?" Wan Haiyang asked immediately, "Who did you arrest?"

“Three young people,” Qu Kairui said.

"Mm." Wan Haiyang nodded, looking at Qu Kairui.

Qu Kairui remained silent.

……

"Gone?" Wan Haiyang's expression was unfriendly.

"I've already ordered an investigation into the identities of those three young men," Qu Kairui said. "However, I suspect their identities are not ordinary."

"What's so special about it?" Wan Haiyang asked.

"They checked into the Astor House Hotel with special passes issued by Nanjing," Qu Kairui said.
