The charm of spy wars lies in the tricks of life

Chapter 127 Team Members
(Last night, Chapter 125 kept failing to pass the review. It took several revisions before it was finally passed.)
His face was pale, and he smacked his lower thick lips: "After all, there is no chance of getting promoted." His voice was low.

Wei Xiong's expression calmed down. "Old Chen, stop being sentimental. Tell me what happened?"

Chen Cha looked at Wei Xiong with a dejected expression: "If I had known earlier that I should have gone to discuss it with you last night, I could have made amends.

"It's too late now."

Xiang Ning said impatiently, "Old Chen, could you please speak more directly? Stop keeping me in suspense. If you don't say anything, I'll leave."

Wei Xiong responded: "Old Chen, when will you change your habit of teasing people and then keeping them in suspense?

"It's really hard to listen to you."

Chen Cha smiled bitterly: "Okay, I'll tell you. I just heard Lao Wei's advice and I understand one thing.

"The director tested me on two things last night.

"The first thing is whether we can find any clues from the burned confession.

"The second thing is that he was writing there, and that was a list of names of people with authority.

“He let me see it on purpose.

"Then Tang Jia found three clues from the confession.

"If I have the courage to take on this task directly for further power, then the director will still make great use of me.

“This means I can be a general.

"If I hadn't done that, I would have been nothing more than an operations captain, not a general.

"Now that one night has passed, the opportunity is gone."

Wei Xiong frowned: "Don't you think about it, even if the director wants to use talented people.

"But you are an old follower after all, and you have strong mobility. How could the director only test you on things you are not good at?

"You've completely lost to Tang Jia this time.

"Old Chen, this is a good result. After all, you're not capable enough to do the job even if I gave you that position.

“As the old saying goes: If you don’t have the ability, and you try to take on tasks, it will lead to disaster.

"This level tests your decision-making ability, observation ability, execution ability, and courage. In the end, you failed." The voice was powerful.

Chen Cha looked like he had suffered a defeat.

Xiang Ning advised, "I think what Lao Chen is doing is very good. Taking another step forward isn't necessarily a good thing."

Wei Xiong nodded and then asked, "You can choose not to tell us about the clues in the burned confession.

"Could you please reveal the list of responsibilities, Old Chen?"

Chen Cha stared at Wei Xiong and smiled: "You work under Qin Jing. Hahaha, Liu Shu guessed right. You didn't go any further."

It is a happy thing that your companions have not improved as much as you have.

Wei Xiong glared, his face grim, and he took a deep drag on his cigarette. After a moment of contemplation, he revealed a dejected expression.

Xiang Ning advised, "Old Wei, it's a good idea. Taking a step forward isn't necessarily a good thing."

Upon hearing this, Old Wei looked at Xiang Ning, then at Chen Cha. The two exchanged glances and said in unison, "Beat him..."

After some punching and kicking, the two men used their strength a little, and the three men calmed down.

Wei Xiong offered cigarettes and lit them up. He stared out the window at the spies on the playground who were counting one by one: "A greedy heart is like a snake swallowing an elephant. Now the three of us are snakes and cannot swallow an elephant.

"The three of us have special talents, but we don't have a general plan.

"Two years of smooth sailing under the director have only made us more and more arrogant."

Chen Cha walked to the window and stared at his Fourth Battalion with a wry smile on his face.

I thought that with the director's promotion, my own position would naturally rise with him, and I would have to add a large team of people.

............................................................

Gou San was assigned to the first squad of the third company of the fourth battalion.

Initial acquaintance of the team members: Yang Yong, Yang Hu, Qin Lie, Gong Yun.

Five people form a team.

Squadron leader Cheng Yuan looked at the five people with an expression of difficulty in making a decision.

These five people are a bit complicated.

Yang Yong and Yang Hu are still injured and are considered old men. In the last operation, they performed bravely and fearlessly.

Regardless of their contribution, all ten elite Japanese spies died.

Normally, Yang Yong should be promoted to team leader. However, the relationships among Qin Lie, Gong Yun, and Gou San are not simple.

Qin Lie didn't know much about it, and the information showed that he was a talent recruited by Director Zhou himself.

I don't know why, but I volunteered to join this team.

Gong Yun's relationship is clear, he is the nephew of Lao Gong. He is related but not strong enough, but he is Lao Gong's nephew after all.

This Gou San is quite extraordinary. He was introduced by Director Wei, so this relationship is very strong.

Cheng Yuan was in a dilemma about who to appoint as the team leader, so he had to put it on hold for now. He would report to Captain Chen Cha and let him make the decision.

Yang Yong, Yang Hu, and Qin Lie were injured. After reporting in, they were arranged to sit on the side of the playground to recuperate.

Yang Hu's face was unfriendly: "Brother Yong, you should be promoted to team leader.

“The squadron leader looked back and forth among the five of us several times, but in the end he still didn’t say who the team leader was.

"What is the reason?"

Yang Yong shook his head: "There is no such thing as who should be the team leader.

“Things like this depend on relationships and gifts.

"Looking at the captain's awkward expression, it seems that all five of us, except you and me, are related.

"The squadron leader is unsure of the size, so Section Chief Chen will make the final decision later."

Qin Lie continued, "The squadron leader looked at Brother Yang Yong twice, looked at me twice, looked at that guy called Gong Yun twice, and looked at that dog three or five times.

"This shows that this guy called Gou San has powerful connections."

Yang Yong was surprised. The person the director had chosen was indeed remarkable, and his observations were so detailed.

Fortunately, I tricked him into joining my small team.

After explaining this person's situation to Section Chief Chen yesterday, Section Chief Chen laughed happily and decisively assigned this person to the Fourth Team.

Qin Lie is indeed not simple.

Yang Yong frowned, "As Brother Qin said, I guess the title of team leader will go to this guy called Gou San.

"I know Gong Yun better; he's Old Gongtou's nephew.

“Although Mr. Gong’s position of authority is not high, he has been in the Statistics Bureau for a long time and is good at handling interpersonal relationships.

"I can get a say with almost every powerful section chief in the upper echelons."

Qin Lie's face tightened: "In that case, Gou San's relative should be at the level of a section chief.

“The squadron leader only looked at Gong Yun twice, but looked at the dog three or five times.

"Gousan's connections are definitely much better than Lao Gong."

Yang Hu: "According to the analysis of my two brothers, the title of team leader will most likely be given to Gou San." His voice revealed the atmosphere.

Qin Lie smiled and said, "As long as we are a team, we will be brothers in life and death from now on. It doesn't matter who becomes the team leader.

"As long as he has a good brain, there's nothing wrong with listening to him.

"Having connections in the bureau is actually a good thing. It means our team is strong.

"Good tasks must also consider us first.

“I think this is a good thing.”

Yang Yong smiled and said, "Brother Qin, your broad-mindedness and insight are truly admirable.

“There will definitely be great things to come in the future.

"If we brothers work together, we may be able to reach a higher level.

"I wonder what Brother Qin thinks of this Gou San and Gong Yun?"

Qin Lie pondered for a moment: "You can tell at a glance that Gou San is a man of the underworld, just like me.

“Most people in the underworld value loyalty and their promises.

“Can be trusted.

“As for his personality and abilities, you’ll know after carrying out a few missions.

“As for Gong Yun, Brother Yang just said that he is the nephew of Old Gong.

"You should know something about him. Brother Yang, what do you think of him?"
