The charm of spy wars lies in the tricks of life

Chapter 15 Dog bites dog

The meeting room was silent and solemn, and even the slightest sound seemed to shake the nerves of everyone present.

Director Liu Xiong especially likes to show off in front of his subordinates, with a stern and ruthless face.

The three-character classic for liberal arts, the abacus for science, and the wishful thinking are running around in the minds of every section chief and department head.

Qin Jing, secretary of Director Liu Xiong.

She stood behind the director with a calm expression, dignified manners, straight posture and heroic demeanor.

Miao Yu and Tang Jia were currently seated against the wall behind their respective directors. It was a matter of status. While their positions were important, they weren't qualified to sit at the conference table.

Miao Yu has an extremely slender waist, and Tang Jia has top-notch long and straight legs, which are pleasing to the eye and refreshing.

Liu Xiong sat in the main seat, his head slightly lowered, his face serious and his eyes gloomy.

The first two were Wang Zhaohuai, director of the First Department, and Zhou Lisheng, director of the Second Department, followed by the heads of various sections.

Qin Jing is Liu Xiong's adopted daughter. People in the upper echelons of the bureau commented on her: "Lin Daiyu has a miserable life, Jia Tanchun is talented, Xue Baochai is thoughtful, and Shi Xiangyun is magnanimous."

Shen Liushu's original self commented: "Qingwen has a sharp tongue, Siqi has a virtuous character, Xiren has a pretty face, and Yuanyang is arrogant. Apart from their looks and figures, there is nothing worth praising about them."

Although Liu Xiong is the director of the Statistics Bureau, his ability is actually very average.

The reason why he was trusted by Dai Li was because he was obedient and he was from the same hometown as Dai Li.

Of course, they also occasionally send some gold buns and silver babies.

Being obedient, able to please superiors (flatter them), and having superiors trust you are one of the most necessary qualities for an official.

His face was gloomy at this time, which was very scary!
Smart leadership is not scary, what is scary is unsmart leadership.

Fortunately, he has a good secretary, Qin Jing.

As soon as Liu Xiong walked into the conference room, the entire room became silent.

Five minutes of being able to hear a pin drop is like a long day, tormenting and grinding the soul.

Wang Zhaohuai looked at this situation and smiled faintly, deducing that there must be something wrong somewhere.

Zhou Lisheng didn't look flustered or impatient at all, he remained calm and casually put out the cigarette.

The conference room was filled with smoke, making it impossible to see each other's inner thoughts.

Shen Liushu looked around among the four beauties in the conference room. He looked at Miao Yu and Tang Jia the most, and occasionally glanced at Qin Jing and the head of the decryption department, Li Caidan.

Li Caidan, about thirty years old, has a husband.

The young woman's charm was like a piece of warm meat, seducing Shen Liushu's stomach.

The most beautiful thing about her is her plump and round buttocks. It's a pity that I can't appreciate it because I'm sitting opposite her.

(Is it true that the body can change the mind? Why do I keep looking at beautiful women?)
"Director Zhou."

The voice was filled with a cool and clear flavor. A name, also a title, marked the beginning of the meeting.

"Yes." Zhou Lisheng answered with one word without looking away.

Liu Xiong looked at his brother-in-law, who was a tough guy, and thought that he could only put pressure on him for five minutes, knowing that he couldn't calm him down.

"The Red Army escaped in the north. Any clues?"

Zhou Lisheng looked up, suspiciously at Liu Xiong, then glanced at the people around him. Their expressions told Liu Fangxiong, "There are so many people here, so many eyes and ears, and so many gossips. It's not convenient to talk about this."

Liu Xiong's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to look at Zhou Lisheng gloomily: "Just say it directly, all the people in this meeting room are our brothers.

“Since we are talking about this, let me tell you about this matter.

"Director Zhou had long discovered that decryption officer Liu Jie was a member of the Red Party, but he hadn't touched her. He was just waiting for an opportunity to allow her to play a better role."

"Section Chief Wen, through clues, has located a Red Army company in hiding in the north.

"Director Zhou then devised a plan to secretly intercept Red Army information from the east, west, and south to lure out Liu Jie, draw out the entire underground group, and wipe them out completely!
"This is a great achievement for the Second Department. Applause."

"Clap clap clap"

There was applause and everyone's expressions varied.

Zhou Lisheng's expression darkened, and he was extremely gloomy. He didn't know: "What is this useless brother-in-law of mine doing?"

Shen Liushu pretended to have just realized something, to have suddenly understood it. (The acting was exaggerated and lacked the essence.)
After the applause died down, Liu Xiong's face tightened. "This is only the first part of the plan. You probably don't know the second part." Wen Xiansi and Miao Yu looked at Zhou Lisheng with puzzled expressions, thinking to themselves, "Are there any follow-up plans?"

"The second step of the plan is to notify the Japanese army to intercept and destroy the Red Army in the north.

"But the Red Army got the news and escaped from our false encirclement, and did not go to the north.

"Director Zhou, there's something wrong with your plan. Can you explain it?"

Zhou Lisheng felt like he was being roasted on a fire, thinking to himself, "Even if a hundred Red Army soldiers escaped, wiping out the entire underground group would be a piece of cake. Why on earth did Liu Xiong do this?"
“Besides, the underground team hasn’t finished the interrogation yet, why make this matter public?
"You're targeting me like this! There must be a reason."

Miao Yu and Wen Xiansi both narrowed their eyes at the same time: "Zhou Lisheng, how terrifying! He was buried in the drum without even realizing it."

Miao Yu glanced at Shen Liushu inexplicably, without anyone noticing, but that glance was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

A feeling of admiration and fear rose in everyone's hearts.

Fortunately, Zhou Lisheng is on our side. If he were our opponent, then... I can't imagine it.

He achieved something for nothing without sacrificing a single soldier, annihilated hundreds of Red Army soldiers, and also inflicted damage to the Japanese army.

Kill two birds with one stone. This plan is really brilliant!
Zhou Lisheng had no choice but to answer, "This matter concerns an important person. The specific results haven't come out yet. It's not convenient to say."

Zhou Lisheng stopped talking here: "He doesn't want too many people to know about Li Xun, especially one place."

Liu Xiong looked at Zhou Lisheng's calm face and said, "Speak now. Anyone who is a spy is a parasite of our party and a filthy creature that destroys national peace. We will not tolerate them."

Zhou Lisheng looked at Liu Xiong gloomily, and Liu Xiong looked solemn and determined.

Zhou Lisheng: "Last night, Dianzi Shuangyue and the stationmaster's secretary Li Xun, after having supper at Zuitiantang, headed to their superiors and telegraphed to the Red Army that the three-sided encirclement was fake."

When Liu Xiong heard the stationmaster's secretary, Li Xun, his face turned serious. He hadn't expected to mention this name.

Why discuss this in the meeting? Because:
………………

Forty minutes ago,

………………

Director's Office.

Liu Xiong received a phone call. The person on the phone revealed that the higher-ups were interested in promoting a smart and capable person.

"He knew who his superiors favored: Zhou Lisheng, a man with great skills and who had studied in Japan for two years.

"I have mixed feelings. How can I bear to give up such a powerful position as the Director of the Statistics Bureau?

"Zhou Lisheng destroyed the entire underground group this time. It was an incredible feat. Although the Red Army fled, all ten members of the group were destroyed. This achievement can still allow him to replace me, because the higher-ups have already made that move."

There was no choice but to tell the whole thing to my goddaughter Qin Jing.

Qin Jing calmly analyzed the situation and said, "Director, the key to this matter lies in the opinions of the higher-ups. Money alone can't sway their hearts or change their minds these days."

"You see, the fact that the higher-ups are willing to let Director Zhou take over is enough to prove that sending gold bars and US dollars as before is not enough to change his mind.

“Even if a hundred Red Army soldiers shirk their responsibilities, it will all fall on you.

"And we can't bypass the higher-ups and go straight to the chairman; that's a big taboo for officials.

"Then there is only one way, which is to use the stones from other mountains to polish one's own jade.

"To put it bluntly, it's dog-eat-dog."

Liu Xiong was puzzled: "Jing'er means to let Wang Zhaohuai deal with Zhou Lisheng, but how to let Wang Zhaohuai deal with Zhou Lisheng?"

Qin Jing's expression was calm: "Use this opportunity to let Wang Zhaohuai know about the escape of one hundred Red Army soldiers.

"That old fox Wang Zhaohuai also covets your position. He will never let Zhou Lisheng climb up. After learning about this, he will definitely not miss this opportunity to exaggerate and report it to the chairman.

"Commissioner, even if you knew that the Second Division had wiped out the entire underground group, you wouldn't blame the subsequent plan for failing, but you would find that the First and Second Divisions are so incompatible.

"After promoting Zhou Lisheng, work has become even more difficult to carry out, and they are sabotaging each other, which is not what the chairman wants.

"Moreover, Wang Zhaohuai is from the Baoding faction, and Zhou Lisheng is from the Huangpu faction. They are hindering each other from above, and this is something the Chairman cannot tolerate.

"Even though Boss Dai wanted to let Zhou Lisheng come up, the chairman wouldn't agree.

"The position of director will still be yours!"
