Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Tian Dan still trusted Zhao Cheng. After all, Zhao Cheng and Pingping were considered to be marrying down, and Zhao Cheng treated Pingping very well, so Pingping's compliance with Zhao Cheng was not excessive. Moreover, according to Tian Dan's understanding, after Zhao Cheng and Pingping got married, Pingping basically centered around Zhao Cheng and never disobeyed Zhao Cheng at all. It had to be said that Zhao Cheng really married a good wife.

"Okay, I know that the man in your family listens to you in everything! Don't show off in front of me here! I'm here to talk to you about serious business! You have been around Shanghai for the past few days, do you have any thoughts?" Tian Dan rolled her eyes at Zhao Cheng and asked seriously.

"What do you think? Except that the alleys are narrower, the market is cleaner than Beijing. I don't see what else is good about it. It's almost the same as Beijing!" said Zhao Cheng.

"Who asked you this? I'm asking what you think about the future anti-espionage work of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau!" Tian Dan said.

"I don't have any idea. Anyway, I have helped you capture quite a few people this time. I feel that my mission is almost completed! Is there anything else?" Zhao Cheng was puzzled.

"Before liberation, our comrades who were lurking in the Shanghai Security Bureau once knew an undercover plan of the Security Bureau called the Trojan Horse Plan! Later, for some unknown reason, the Security Bureau canceled this plan! But there are still so many spies in Shanghai, probably they have changed to another plan! So I want to ask you, how can we break through their plan!" Tian Dan asked seriously.

"Trojan Horse Project? What the hell is that? It might as well be called Troy! Find the person who was lurking in the Secret Service before and ask him to provide a detailed list of lurking personnel! Since he knows there is a Trojan Horse Project, he must know about other plans as well!" Zhao Cheng was very curious why Tian Dan told him this?

"Didn't you understand? I asked you to help me think about how to get these lists!" Tian Dan said.

"No, sister, do you think I'm a fortune teller under the overpass? I can tell everything by counting on my fingers? Just like the Trojan horse plan you mentioned, was it ruined by our insider? So we gave up? Since there are other plans, then check the person in charge! The person who made the plan ran away, but the person who assigned the task can't run away, right? Find the person who assigned the task! This person is of high enough level to know the whole plan!" Zhao Cheng was a little helpless.

"We've thought about it, but we can't figure out who assigned the task! How do we find him?" Tian Dan was a little overwhelmed. This was like looking for a needle in a haystack. She had no idea why the higher-ups would give her such a task.

"Who was the head of the Shanghai Security Bureau at that time?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"It seems to be Tan Zhongshu. His sworn brother Liu Xinjie is the director of the General Affairs Department and is one of ours!" Tian Dan said.

"So Liu Xinjie ruined Tan Zhongshu's Trojan Horse plan?"

"Yes, that was what happened at the time. Liu Xinjie had already submitted the list of people that Tan Zhongshu had asked him to draw up for the undercover plan."

"Then who else can assign tasks besides Tan Zhongshu's Secret Service Shanghai Station? And how many people can be the ones to assign tasks?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"At that time, they had five directors, more than 20 investigation directors, more than 200 field staff, plus some clerical staff, the total number was almost 300! We had no way to check so many people!" said Tian Dan.

"Liu Xinjie is the director of the General Affairs Department, right? How could he not know the personnel list of his unit?"

"I know. After liberation, some of these people died, some ran away, and the rest have been caught! But there are still many people lurking in the dark who only the stationmaster and the director know about. These people are the ones who are really hard for us to find!" Tian Dan regretted taking this task. It was obviously too difficult!

"Doesn't Liu Xinjie know anything about these hidden personnel?"

"He knows some things, but not others. The ones he knows have already been reported, but there's nothing we can do about the ones he doesn't know!"

"Is the Director of General Affairs in charge of paying salaries and subsidies?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"They should be in charge." Tian Dan said.

"Let Liu Xinjie compare the list of people who have been arrested with the list of people who receive wages and subsidies. Those who are missing are undercover personnel. Haven't you noticed this?" Zhao Cheng was curious.

"We've checked this. Aside from those on the official roster, those subsidies are given to those Secret Service agents who died. They're all subsidies for their families!"

"How can you be sure this is the subsidy for the deceased's family? And not the operating funds for a hidden undercover agent?"

"What do you mean?" Tian Dan stood up in surprise.

"What do you mean by me? What did I say? Stop talking nonsense. Be careful or I will sue you for defamation!" Zhao Chengli immediately waved his hands and refused to admit it.

Tian Dan was both angry and amused when she saw Zhao Cheng's expression. How could there be such a lazy person in this world? "Alright, I figured it out myself, alright! I really don't understand what you're hiding from?"

"Sister is really smart! Go back and report your amazing discovery! I wish you can complete the task as soon as possible and get promoted step by step!" Zhao Cheng opened the door with a frivolous look on his face and made a gesture of invitation.

When Tian Dan saw Zhao Cheng's expression, the hand that was pointing at Zhao Cheng was shaking with anger, and she couldn't calm down even if she tried.

Tian Dan walked out of Zhao Cheng's rental house angrily. Zhao Cheng's voice came from behind her, saying, "Goodbye, see you tomorrow!"

Tian Dan was so angry that she stamped her feet! When she walked downstairs, she could still hear Zhao Cheng humming upstairs, "I smile triumphantly, I smile triumphantly, watching the world of mortals never grow old..."

Tian Dan really had the urge to go upstairs and kill Zhao Cheng, but unfortunately Tian Dan also knew that she was no match for Zhao Cheng now. Since the liberation, as the market stabilized, Zhao Cheng had been able to eat more and more, and his physical fitness was getting better and better. In addition, Zhao Cheng would practice the Eighteen Hands of the Black Dragon for a while every day, so his hand-to-hand combat ability was getting higher and higher.

Before, Tian Dan could still rely on her experience and Bajiquan skills to suppress Zhao Cheng, but in the past year, Zhao Cheng participated in many actions and went to the streets to cause trouble for those gangsters when he had nothing to do. His practical experience increased rapidly, and now she could not suppress him.

Tian Dan could only curse silently from the window of Zhao Cheng's house downstairs, fearing that it would disturb the neighbors and expose Zhao Cheng's location, leading to him being targeted. She could only rage helplessly.

Zhao Cheng stood at the window, watching Tian Dan leave. He secretly lowered the curtains and sat on the bed, thinking about today's events. Liu Xinjie? Tan Zhongshu? Is this another Li Ming sneaking in? There are more and more of them. I can't even remember all the TV series! Sigh, I'm so jealous of those who traveled through time and space and have systems and cheat codes!

Zhao Cheng, lying in bed, didn't know what else to do. He had done what he could. If it weren't for the conscience in his heart, he, Zhao Cheng, would not have come to this shabby place!

Oh, my dear daughter, wait for daddy!
