Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

The new director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Lu Jianbang, has been extremely busy these past few days. He has discovered that the entire Beijing Public Security Bureau is very lax, especially the middle-level cadres, who are just getting by and there are many cases of amateurs leading the experts.

This work style has caused the security of the capital to become a mess. It is no wonder that the central government and the leaders of the ministry decided to make a big change in the municipal bureau.

There was a knock on the door. Lu Jianbang raised his head and called out, "Come in."

Long Fei pushed the door open and walked into the office, standing at attention and saluting: "Director."

Lu Jianbang put down the pen in his hand and waved: "Comrade Long Fei, come and have a seat."

Long Fei's uniform is always straight, which sets off his slender body and makes him look very handsome.

"Thank you, Director."

Lu Jianbang pushed the cigarette box over. He was a vice-ministerial leader and enjoyed special treatment for tobacco and alcohol, so he smoked white-box Zhonghua cigarettes.

Long Fei is a very serious person. His personality is not as casual and free as Qin Dabao. Naturally, he cannot smoke in front of the leader. He quickly shook his head and refused.

Lu Jianbang had been a Red Guard since he was thirteen years old and had been working as a political cadre for decades. When he saw Long Fei was so reserved, he understood what he was thinking and offered him a cigarette and some water without any hesitation.

"I've already informed the Ministry that I want you to step down from the Ministry and become the Director of the Public Security Department at the Municipal Bureau."

Long Fei was stunned for a moment, then he was happy. He was an underground worker and had been trained by the Russians for two years, so he went to work in the department after he came back.

However, the department has always been responsible for overall matters and rarely involves specific cases, which makes him useless.

This also made his position in the ministry quite awkward, with only the title of special envoy.

This time, things are great. He can finally do some concrete work at the grassroots level, and he can get it all in one go as the director of the Public Security Department, a director-level cadre. This makes Long Fei very happy.

"Thank you for the organization's trust in me. I will definitely not let the Party and the people down."

Lu Jianbang nodded with satisfaction: "Are you here to deliver the final report of Operation Ice Breaking? Briefly tell me about it. I'll listen."

Long Fei knew that his leader was very busy and didn't have time for him to speak from beginning to end, so he could only give a brief summary.

He handed the case file to Lu Jianbang: "Director, this case was discovered by accident. It was discovered by Qin Dabao, a young comrade from our Public Security Department..."

He briefly recounted how Qin Dabao caught the thief and discovered that something was wrong with the owner, Xie Dongguo... Although it was simple, it made Lu Jianbang break out in a cold sweat.

"You mean to say that the person who made the greatest contribution to this case is this new recruit named Qin Dabao?"

Long Fei nodded cautiously. This case had already been made public, and no one dared to take credit for it, and Long Fei was not that kind of person.

"Director, I really can't imagine the consequences of this enemy spy operation. If just one explosion goes off..."

Lu Jianbang took out a cigarette and lit it. The new country had been established for less than ten years, and enemies from all sides had been making moves. Since the end of the Peninsula Campaign, our army had won an impossible battle, forcing the imperialists to tuck their tails between their legs and turning the open war into an underground war.

This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of maintaining public security in the country by a hundred or a thousand times. It was fine when he was in Shanghai, after all, Shanghai was not the country's political center. Now that he has taken on the heavy burden of the capital, Lu Jianbang is feeling suffocated.

"Director, I have written the detailed report in the case file, as well as the list of rewards for meritorious personnel. Please take the time to review it. I'll be leaving first."

Lu Jianbang nodded: "Okay, Director Wang will send you to the Public Security Department to take up your post tomorrow."

"Yes!" Long Fei stood up and saluted, then turned and left.

Lu Jianbang smoked a cigarette, opened the case file, and carefully read the whole process of the case.

Next is the list of people who reported their achievements. The first one is Qin Dabao. Lu Jianbang was quite impressed by Qin Dabao. The moment he saw Qin Dabao, he suddenly saw himself when he was young. They really looked alike.

If I didn't know what kind of people I was and my brother were, I would really think that Qin Dabao was their illegitimate child.

Reporting merit requires political review. The following are the political review materials.

Lu Jianbang took a puff of his cigarette and flipped through Qin Dabao's political review materials. He took a quick look and then stood up suddenly.

A veteran warrior actually trembled.

The cigarette butt in his hand fell on his legs and then on the ground. Lu Jianbang seemed not to notice, his eyes fixed on the materials.

The materials clearly stated: Qin Dabao, father Qin Qingyou, mother Lu Xiu'e.

Lu Jianbang grabbed the phone, trembling. "Secretariat? This is Lu Jianbang. Tell your director to come to my office. Run over!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jianbang sat down slowly. He picked up the materials and read them carefully. When he saw the resumes of Qin Qingyou and Lu Xiu'e,

Lu Jianbang's heart seemed to be boiling, and his heart seemed to jump out of his chest. He has always been calm and composed, and he has never felt this way before.

There was a knock on the door.

Lu Jianbang calmed himself down. He was now basically certain that his guess was correct, but he still wanted to confirm it.

"Come in!" The hoarse voice scared Lu Jianbang himself.

Wang Yonglian, Director of the Secretariat, pushed the door open panting.

"Director, Director." Wang Yonglian tried hard to make his breathing steady.

"Does Qin Dabao from the Public Security Department know about this?"

Wang Yonglian was startled by Director Lu's voice. He quickly went over it in his mind. Qin Dabao? Who is that?

"No, I don't know."

Lu Jianbang cursed inwardly. It's only been a few years since liberation, and bureaucracy has already emerged? As the director of the secretariat in charge of personnel, he can't even recognize all the people in the Municipal Bureau. Isn't this just a slacking job?

"Qin Dabao, the new recruit you recruited a few days ago, find his file and send it to me immediately, right now! Right now!"

"Yes, yes!" Wang Yonglian agreed repeatedly and left the director's office. He wiped a cold sweat in the corridor and cursed in his heart, "Qin Dabao? Who is this grandson?"

Wang Guohua heard the sound of running and came out of his office. He saw Wang Yonglian's back as he walked down the stairs. He shook his head in confusion, turned around, pushed the door and walked into the director's office next door.

He was shocked when he saw Lu Jianbang's face. His old comrade was famous for his ability to remain calm even in the face of a catastrophe, so why was he pale now? His eyes were red?

"Jianbang? What's wrong? What happened?"

Lu Jianbang breathed a sigh of relief and handed the political review materials to Wang Guohua.

Wang Guohua took the paper with confusion: "Who is this? Qin Dabao? Qin Dabao... the little guy who looks like you? Are you reporting this to him?"

They have been comrades-in-arms and partners for decades, and Wang Guohua was promoted by Lu Jianbang, so Lu Jianbang has no scruples.

"Do you remember I told you that I had a sister who was lost during the Anti-Japanese War?"

"Remember, it was during the anti-mopping-up period, and Uncle Lu took you to Yan'an, leaving your sister in Shandong."

"Yes, my father was going to send someone to pick up my sister, but when he arrived at the place, he found out that my sister had met the enemy and got separated. Our whole family has been looking for my sister for so many years. The ones my father has been thinking about all his life are my sister and my youngest brother, but, but..." Lu Jianbang's tears overflowed from his eyes, and his voice became more hoarse.

Wang Guohua was a smart man. He hurriedly lowered his head to carefully study the materials. After a moment, he looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "Lu Xiu'e? Isn't that our sister's name? Could it be... Oh my god! Then this Qin Dabao is our nephew? Oh my god! No wonder he looks like you, as if they were cut from the same mold."

Lu Jianbang wiped his face: "My sister, it's my sister...it must be..."

Wang Guohua knew that his sister's disappearance was not only a thorn in the heart of his old comrade, but also a thorn in the heart of the Lu family. No one would be unbearably heartbroken if it touched them.

The two men fell silent. They had both been soldiers for half their lives and were best at doing ideological work for others, but when it came to themselves, they were powerless and could only smoke one cigarette after another.
