The Bravest

After hearing Lin Jie say that he would go to see Chen Gongshu in the afternoon and could help pass on a message, Yu Jie really took the bait. However, when old friends meet, they will definitely not just exchange greetings. They will definitely talk about their inner thoughts, such as exchanging views on the current situation and future plans. How could these words be conveyed through other people's mouths? So Yu Jie wanted to ask if he could meet Chen Gongshu.

"It's nothing important, but we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I really want to meet." Yu Jie honestly told Lin Jie that he wanted to meet Chen Gongshu. There was nothing to hide.

"I see. If Director Yu has nothing to do this afternoon, you can go with me to see him." Lin Jie said in a relaxed tone, as if this was just an ordinary matter, not worth mentioning at all.

"Chief Lin, is it convenient? Will it be a bother to you?" Yu Jie was a little tempted.

"Oh, no trouble. You know Mao Sen, right? He is now detained in the gendarmerie. I have an order from the gendarmerie headquarters to find Chen Gongshu if you want him to help persuade him. It's no big deal. If Director Yu is free, you can go with us in the afternoon. It's just on the way anyway." Lin Jie said readily, as if he was very similar to Yu Jie.

"That's great. If I don't have anything important to do this afternoon, I'll take Chief Lin's ride and go visit him."

"Okay, then we'll leave after dinner. Director Yu, is that okay with you?" Lin Jie didn't want Yu Jie to have the chance to tell others about this, so he suggested leaving after dinner.

"Okay, but I'd like to trouble Chief Lin to take a detour so that I can buy some gifts on the street first. It would be embarrassing to come to your house empty-handed."

"Oh, that's right. If Director Yu hadn't mentioned this, I wouldn't have thought of this. I might as well buy some while I'm at it. Director Yu is really humane. Not only does he remember to visit old friends, he also remembers to bring gifts." Lin Jie missed the opportunity to exclaim in praise.

"Hahaha, Section Chief Lin is a straightforward person. We will be friends from now on." Yu Jie was in a good mood when he thought that he would be able to meet Chen Gongshu in the afternoon. The two of them praised each other, finished their lunch quickly, and then prepared to set off.

"I almost forgot, Director Yu, please wait for me at the candy and cigarette shop in front, and buy me two packs of cigarettes. I'll follow you after I go back to the office and tell you a few things." When the two of them walked to the parking lot and Yu Jie couldn't wait to get in the car, Lin Jie pretended to have forgotten something, casually greeted Yu Jie, and walked back without leaving Yu Jie any room to speak. This was done to prevent people from knowing that it was No. 76 who went out with Yu Jie.

"Hey..." Yu Jie had already started the car, but Lin Jie left in a hurry without saying anything. Yu Jie wanted to call Lin Jie, but Lin Jie walked too fast. He had thought about waiting for Lin Jie in the parking lot, and then he remembered that Lin Jie asked him to help buy two packs of cigarettes, and he knew without thinking that they were for Chen Gongshu later, so Yu Jie didn't think much about it, and drove the car out of the gate of No. 76 with the engine already started, and went straight to the candy and cigarette shop that Lin Jie mentioned.

Lin Jie did not return to his office, but found an excuse to go to the office of Tang Keming, the director of the Intelligence Department, and chatted for a while. After about ten minutes, he went to the parking lot and drove his car slowly to the gate of No. 76. When he passed the gate, he greeted the guard enthusiastically as usual, threw a few cigarettes to the spies inside, and then stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the location of the candy and tobacco shop.

While driving, Lin Jie observed the surrounding environment, especially to see if there were any people or vehicles from No. 76 passing by. This time Lin Jie decided to take action himself. Firstly, the fewer people involved in this matter, the better. Secondly, there was no time to call a stranger who was trustworthy to do it. He didn't know if there would be such an opportunity next time. Moreover, the more times Lin Jie dealt with Yu Jie, the more likely it would be that Yu Jie would attract other people's attention or even suspicion after something happened.

In the candy and cigarette shop, Yu Jie bought two packs of high-end cigarettes. Seeing that Lin Jie had not arrived yet, he casually looked at various candies and snacks, selected a few, bought some of each, and asked for two different packs of cigarettes. He asked the boss to pack the cigarettes and candies into two packages, thinking that Chen Gongshu would not care about these things, so he might as well just buy some here, and he would not have to trouble Lin Jie to go out of his way to buy a gift later.

Everything was ready. Yu Jie impatiently walked out of the door of the candy and tobacco shop to smoke before Lin Jie showed up. What Yu Jie didn't expect was that Lin Jie had already arrived ten minutes ago, but he didn't drive the car directly. Instead, after leaving No. 76, he parked the car in a hidden alley, called a rickshaw and got off not far from the candy and tobacco shop. Lin Jie had already disguised himself in the car, wearing a gray robe over his suit. He also changed the custom-made height-increasing leather shoes he had always worn into a pair of ordinary old cloth shoes, and deliberately pulled in his waist. He looked ten years older and much shorter than usual.

In this way, Lin Jie walked along the side of the street, head down, towards the candy and tobacco shop, originally planning to kill Yu Jie in the shop, and then leave the shop owner with an image that was very different from his own, so as to achieve the purpose of disrupting the pursuit. Lin Jie did not expect Yu Jie to walk out of the shop door and wait for him with cigarettes.

Yu Jie was smoking a cigarette while looking towards the teacher's road, not knowing that the man in the grey robe who had walked up to him was the one he was waiting for. The opportunity was right in front of him, so Lin Jie had to change his mind temporarily. While Yu Jie was looking at the road, he quickly took out his pistol and fired two shots at Yu Jie. Yu Jie was shot in the chest without any warning and fell to the ground twitching continuously.

Lin Jie was still worried, so he took two steps closer to the door of the candy and tobacco shop so that the people inside could see his current appearance. Lin Jie fired two more shots at Yu Jie, who was still holding him, and then squatted down and plundered all the money on Yu Jie, whether it was a watch or a gold pen, in order to create a robbery scene, including the two gifts Yu Jie bought. Most importantly, he checked Yu Jie's pulse and confirmed that Yu Jie was dead. Finally, he took away Yu Jie's car keys. He quickly got into Yu Jie's car and drove away.

Lin Jieyi didn't drive far, and soon found a deserted place, abandoned the car casually, and took away the things in Yu Jie's car with his robe. Before leaving, he set fire to Yu Jie's car. Then he left quickly, took two rickshaws back to where he parked, changed back into his usual clothes, drove the car to deal with Yu Jie's things, and went back to work at No. 76.
