Traveling through the Republic of China: Spy Shadow Enters the Game

She turned around and saw Zhou Qin, and Lin Ruotang's expression slowed down.

"Hello, Director Zhou!"

Zhou Qin touched Lin Ruotang's fair face with her fingers and said with pity:

"I never hit you once when you were by my side."

Lin Ruotang thought about how this finger had pierced someone's flesh yesterday, and a chill ran down his spine. He could only calmly answer:

"Director Zhou, my uncle said he wants to treat you to a simple meal."

Zhou Qin understood the meaning of the voice and immediately asked:

"Who else?"

"And Captain Guan."

Hearing this, Zhou Qin smiled and nodded.

"it is good!"

The two exchanged glances and walked away.

In the evening, Zhou Qin and Guan Hao arrived at the Jin family. Lin Ruotang and Xie Wuwei were already waiting there.

The group ate their meal in a hurry and went into the study.

"Old Jin, are you really calling us here just for a quick meal?"

Hearing Guan Hao's words, Jin Dayong knocked the ash off his cigar.

"Lao Guan, we're old partners. Those new guys are so arrogant, they're practically shitting and pissing on your neck. Can you really stand this?"

Speaking of this, Guan Hao's expression darkened. After Zheng Manqiao came, she huddled together with Zhan Peng and pretended to obey his orders but actually disobeyed them.

"Director Jin, please stop keeping us in suspense. Tell us why you called us here. It can't be just to accuse Zheng Manqiao and the others."

Seeing Zhou Qin speak, Jin Dayong said:

"My intention is simple. We have limited abilities. You said we don't have the strength to ask those annoying people to leave, but we can be the black sheep and stir up trouble..."

"Stop talking about this and tell me clearly, what should we do?"

Zhou Qin leaned back on the sofa, picked up her coffee and took a sip, then interrupted Jin Dayong impatiently.

Jin Dayong lowered his voice and said to the two of them:

"If they want the leaders to take them seriously, they have to make achievements. We ask them to do nothing, but they are incompetent. In the eyes of the leaders, they are far inferior to us."

When Zhou Qin and Guan Hao heard this, they looked at each other. They just wanted power in their hands. If the power was not in their hands, it would be of no benefit to them to arrest those anti-Japanese people. Naturally, they agreed to Jin Dayong's plan.

When Zhou Qin left, she glanced at Xie Wuwei. This idea didn't seem to be something that came from Jin Dayong, who only had money on his mind. It was most likely that Xie Wuwei was behind it.

Xie Wuwei looked at Zhou Qin, curled his lips and chuckled, then took Lin Ruotang into the car with a cigarette in his mouth. He looked ruffian but not unruly.

When Jin Dayong arrived at the bureau and took a look at the new Section Chief Ye, his eyes darkened. He thought he could take this opportunity to get rid of this annoying person.

After several days, Zheng Manqiao received information that a senior general from the Kuomintang was coming to Shanghai to pick up his relatives.

She was extremely excited. As long as she could capture this general and his relatives, there would be a good chance that she could persuade him to rebel.

Lin Ruotang was very sensitive to the fact that Zheng Manqiao was in a very good mood. She was very surprised and asked tentatively while delivering the documents:

"Chief Zheng, what happened to make you so happy?"

Zheng Manqiao seemed to have no grudge against Lin Ruotang, but she would not tell Lin Ruotang about such a big thing. She just smiled and said:

"Nothing!"

After saying that, she took her pistol and went out.

Lin Ruotang glanced at her feet. She was still wearing military boots in the middle of summer, which looked problematic no matter how you looked at it.

But she was not worried at all. Zheng Manqiao would not succeed no matter what she did.

Zheng Manqiao didn't tell Zhou Qin, and even Zhan Peng didn't tell Guan Hao from the action team. A group of more than a dozen people got in the car and set off.

Lin Ruotang stood upstairs, looking at the car going away with a mysterious smile.

As for Zheng Manqiao, the car stopped moving halfway through the journey.

She got out of the car, looked at it and said:

"What's wrong with this car? Is it broken down?"

Zhan Peng asked the driver, who hesitated and said:

“No more gas!”

Zheng Manqiao was unhappy, so she and her group had to get into another car. The car had just started moving for a short while when it stopped again.

At this time, if Zheng Manqiao hadn't discovered the trick, she would be a pig.

"Why is there no oil?"

Zheng Manqiao asked with a gloomy face, and the driver nodded reluctantly.

In the end, three cars drove out and all ran out of gas halfway through the drive.

Zheng Manqiao could only look at Zhan Peng. Zhan Peng pondered for a moment and said to her:

"Want a taxi?"

Zheng Manqiao had no choice but to agree, but when they arrived, the place was already empty.

She put her hands on her hips and kicked the taxi angrily, and the taxi driver looked distressed.

Zheng Manqiao returned to the Secret Service Bureau in a rage, but there was no one there.

"Where are the people? Where did they die?"

The staff on duty saw Zheng Manqiao's fierce eyes and felt nervous, but still said:

"Chief Zheng, you didn't say you wanted to work overtime..."

Zheng Manqiao glared at the person on duty, pointed at his nose and shouted:

"roll!"

After the staff on duty left, Zhan Peng spoke.

"So we're being tricked!"

Zheng Manqiao didn't expect that these people would ignore the important things in order to deal with her. She felt angry and resentful.

The next day, she went to Jin Dayong angrily

"Director Jin, what happened? Why did the car run out of gas halfway through the drive?"

How could Jin Dayong admit it? He said in surprise:

"Ah? I don't know. Isn't Section Chief Ye in charge now?"

He blamed everything on the new Section Chief Ye.

Although Section Chief Ye was new, he had no way of getting the financial power. Jin Dayong still had the final say in the General Affairs Office. He said he didn't have enough money and only had half the gas in the car, so there was nothing anyone else could do.

Zheng Manqiao went to see Section Chief Ye again, but Section Chief Ye smiled bitterly.

"Chief Zheng, you know best whether I have that ability or not."

Speaking of this, he felt even more wronged.

"You're all fine. I came to the General Affairs Office and was still doing some chores. Look at Jin Dayong smiling so brightly. He really knows how to make things difficult for people!"

At this point, he pointed to the half-meter-high documents on the table.

"Look, he asked me to sort out the account books..."

After saying this, his right fingers twitched like chicken claws.

Zheng Manqiao would be a fool if she didn't know that Jin Dayong was targeting her.

She knew in her heart that this incident was most likely caused by beating Lin Ruotang.

Before coming to the Secret Service, she had inquired about Lin Ruotang. This person acted like a real young lady, was not motivated at work, and did not seem to pose any threat.

I think she shouldn't have pushed Lin Ruotang to the opposite side from the beginning, and now there is another enemy.

She is now having a hard time in the Secret Service, and if she wants to dismantle Zhou Qin's power, Lin Ruotang is a key figure.

She has a huge network of connections. As long as he can win her over, he can turn the tide and even suppress Zhou Qin.

Thinking of the slap she had given Lin Ruotang, Zheng Manqiao felt a little regretful. She was really impulsive.

Lin Ruotang said that she didn't take it to heart, but she must still be resentful of her. She was in a dilemma and it seemed difficult to reconcile with Lin Ruotang.

She returned to the intelligence department on the third floor and walked towards Lin Ruotang's office. Hearing no movement inside, she quietly turned the doorknob and approached the desk silently.
