Espionage: Mastering the Ten Cruelest Tortures of the Military Intelligence Bureau from the Start

As for how to find sources of medicine, Su Mingzhe already had a plan in mind.

He walked to the phone and skillfully dialed Gong Shouguo's dedicated line number.

Not long after, a hissing sound came from the telephone receiver, and then Gong Shouguo's familiar voice came through clearly.

Then, Su Mingzhe's voice rang out unhurriedly: "Meet at the usual place at four o'clock this afternoon."

"Yes, Team Leader Su."

Gong Shouguo responded immediately, his tone full of awe.

Su Mingzhe paused briefly, then decided to correct Gong Shouguo's form of address, and said:

"This morning, I was promoted to captain and deputy section chief. You can call me Deputy Section Chief Su from now on."

Upon hearing this news, Gong Shouguo on the other end of the phone was overjoyed.

His eyes lit up instantly, he was even happier than if he had been promoted himself.

Su Mingzhe was his biggest and only backer. The smoother Su Mingzhe's career went, the more confident Gong Shouguo would be.

Ever since everyone else found out that his backer was Chief Su from the Military Intelligence Bureau, who would dare to challenge him? Gong Shouguo now walks with his back straight.

Gong Shouguo's tone was full of respect and congratulations: "Congratulations on Section Chief Su's promotion!"

Almost no one would actually call Su Mingzhe "Deputy Section Chief Su".

If you happen to encounter someone who holds a grudge, there's always a small size of shoe that will fit your feet.

After hanging up the phone, Gong Shouguo immediately turned around and began packing his things.

Although it was still a long time before the agreed time, Gong Shouguo always made it a habit to finish the preparations first.

In fact, if it weren't for Su Mingzhe's special request—not allowing him to go to Summer Cafe too early to avoid attracting attention—Gong Shouguo would have loved to head straight to the cafe right now.

Gong Shouguo treated every instruction from Su Mingzhe as divine deity.

Time passed slowly as he waited anxiously, and finally, at 3:50 p.m., Gong Shouguo arrived at Summer Cafe.

He ordered a coffee, something he never did before. He wasn't used to this kind of foreign stuff; for Gong Shouguo, tea was his favorite.

When the coffee was placed in front of him, its strong, bitter aroma immediately filled his nostrils.

Gong Shouguo frowned, took a small sip, and an indescribable strange taste spread on his tongue. The taste was like unprocessed herbs, and in short, it did not suit Gong Shouguo's taste buds at all.

Since Team Leader Su—no, I mean Section Chief Su—says it's good, then it must be good.

It's just that I lack taste and can't appreciate the beauty of such a high-end drink.

Su Mingzhe arrived at the coffee shop on time, as usual.

He casually ordered some food at the front desk, glancing around at the surroundings with a seemingly casual look. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he leisurely sat down opposite Gong Shouguo.

He always orders different things each time he comes, and even if it's all coffee, he never repeats the same type of coffee.

Habits are the enemy; even seemingly insignificant details like eating habits can become clues for those with ulterior motives.

Even though he didn't like what Su Mingzhe ordered.

This is not paranoia, but simply a basic quality of an excellent agent.

"Shouguo, how many influential shady organizations are there in Jinhua District?"

As Su Mingzhe spoke, he elegantly sipped his coffee.

"Manager Su, there are two main underground forces in Jinhua District. The others are just a few small fry and can't amount to much."

Gong Shouguo leaned forward slightly and spoke in a low voice.

Upon hearing Gong Shouguo's words, Su Mingzhe nodded in satisfaction, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

It seemed that Gong Shouguo was quite knowledgeable about these things. Su Mingzhe didn't speak, but simply raised his hand slightly, signaling him to continue.

"The first group controlled the entire prostitution business in Jinhua District, as well as entertainment venues such as dance halls. They can be said to be the largest underground force in Jinhua District."

The reason they can be so arrogant is that their backer is the nephew of the deputy district head of Jinhua District.

The gang leader was named Xue Rong, and because he lost an eye in a shootout, he was nicknamed One-Eyed.

This man was greedy, ruthless, and vicious; he was a fearsome figure in the underworld of Jinhua District.

Gong Shouguo paused, observed Su Mingzhe's expression, and seeing that he was still listening attentively, continued.

"The second group controls five casinos and some restaurants in Jinhua District, but they are much weaker than Xue Rong's group."

They were originally fearless because their backer was the former director of the patrol police bureau in Jinhua District.

The leader of this group was named Qian Kun, who was nicknamed "Ghost Blade Master Wu" in the martial arts world because of his uncanny swordsmanship.

But ever since I took over and the old director was transferred, their lives have deteriorated day by day. They've been gradually eroded by Xue Rong's power, and now they're in a precarious situation.

After Gong Shouguo finished speaking, he picked up the cup of bitter coffee and took a sip.

Upon hearing Gong Shouguo's words, Su Mingzhe immediately became interested in this "Ghost Blade Fifth Master".

Without a powerful backer, the underground rats have no choice but to seek refuge, or they will face certain death.

Those who have reached this point have enemies everywhere. When this Ghost Blade Master Wu truly loses power, his death will surely be tragic.

Then, Su Mingzhe asked, "Is this Qian Kun familiar with the black market?"

This is the reason why Su Mingzhe summoned Gong Shouguo today.

"Yes, we know him well. It's said that he made his fortune in the black market when he was young, and he has a lot of connections there."

Hearing Gong Shouguo say this, Su Mingzhe was completely relieved.

"Shouguo, go contact Xue Rong, offer him a large reward, and have him lead a group to smash up Qian Kun's place, preferably killing a few people."

Then you take the patrol officers and arrest everyone; the rest is up to me.

Although Gong Shouguo didn't know what Su Mingzhe meant, it wasn't something he needed to worry about; he just had to do as he was told.

Su Mingzhe's plan was simple: to incite a fight between two groups.

After the patrol officers arrested the man, the nephew of the deputy district head of Jinhua District saw that his younger brother had been arrested and was bound to stand up for him.

Su Mingzhe then led his men to clean up the mess, rescued Qian Kun, and also wiped out Xue Rong and his gang.

This way, they could receive a large amount of Xue Rong's assets and use these resources to continuously provide supplies to the organization.

Secondly, it would allow them to unify the underground forces in Jinhua District, making their future actions more secretive.

Thirdly, it could completely subdue Qian Kun, making him work for them, opening up black market channels, and finding drug sources for the organization.

Of course, he could also directly subdue Qian Kun, but the effect would be greatly reduced, and there would be considerable hidden dangers.

As for offending the nephew of the deputy head of Jinhua District?

Sorry, he doesn't even respect the deputy district head of Jinhua District.

Although the other party was two ranks higher than him, if you rigidly follow the official rank to determine who is superior, then you are underestimating the power of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, which is like a modern-day Embroidered Uniform Guard.
