Cicada Moving

Chapter 212 On the way

 Gu Qi was walking in the Ministry of the Interior building with his briefcase, listening to the faint footsteps behind him, with a harmless smile on his face.

Many Ministry of Interior staff greeted him along the way. Although it was only for a short time, everyone had a good impression of the deputy director who had been transferred recently.

 “Lao Liu has some entertainment?”

 “Haha, not really, a friend.”

Gu Qi was chatting with the section chiefs and kept walking towards the outside of the building. He turned the corner and walked down the stairs, and collided head-on with a young man.

 “East Asia Hotel.”

With an inaudible announcement, the smile on Gucci's face did not change. No matter where the young man who just spoke went, he walked out of the building and walked towards the car.

As he walked, he recalled information about the East Asia Hotel. Jinling East Asia Hotel had nothing to do with the famous East Asia Hotel in Shanghai.

 The background of the boss behind the scenes is mysterious and he has deep friendships with many party members and officials. However, because he has no business contact with the Secret Service, there is no detailed investigation.

 It is said that there are high-end Western restaurants and entertainment venues inside. Some powerful people like to go there to communicate and have gatherings. Foreigners in China also often visit.

It should not be an accident that Liang Yuandong placed the meeting place there this time. It seems that the East Asia Hotel is a key node in the opponent's intelligence network.

Gucci was thoughtful, then he started the car and stepped on the accelerator to drive out of the Ministry of Interior gate. He drove slowly and carefully, for fear of losing the pursuer behind him.

 It feels uncomfortable to be monitored, and even more uncomfortable to have to pretend not to know, or even to cooperate with the Japanese who do not have advanced surveillance and tracking technology.

 Gu Qi didn't understand very much. Liang Yuandong himself was a scheming old spy. He was very professional when facing Zuo Zhong and his sudden attack, but the performance of his men was a bit hard to describe.

Looking at the pursuer behind him who was almost lost again, Gucci sighed and moved the vehicle slightly to the right, letting the car in front block his way.

After stumbling for half an hour, Gu Qi showed his ID and drove into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Zuo Zhong and Director Li had been standing in front of the building waiting for him for a long time.

Seeing Gu Qi, Zuo Zhong waved his hand. Next to him, Director Li's mighty face turned pale. As a former warrior in the army, Director Li was not afraid of fighting against visible enemies.

Sneaking into the enemy's lair unarmed sounds very dangerous. If Zuo Zhong hadn't suppressed him with national justice and military regulations and national laws, he would never have appeared here today.

Looking at Gu Qi approaching, Zuo Zhong comforted Director Li in a low voice: "Old Li, I have to remind you that if the other party sees that something is wrong, none of the three of us will be able to leave alive today.

 Actually, you are very lucky. You caught up with the big operation in your first actual combat. As long as you have passed this incident, you will be considered a qualified intelligence officer. I will report your heroic performance to you. "

He understands Director Li's fear. Who is not afraid of death? He is also afraid of death, but can he avoid death if he is afraid? Only by doing what he should do can he reduce the probability of danger.

Director Li grinned, talking about **** heroic deeds. He had heard a lot about this stuff in the army. There was one thing in common in the stories. The heroes usually died miserably.

 Gu Qi walked up to the two of them and looked at Director Li who looked wrong. He was a little worried. Liang Yuandong would definitely be suspicious if he saw this look, but who let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have such a hidden agent.

Now we can only rush the duck to put it on the shelf. I hope everything goes well. If it doesn't work, just find a way to get him drunk. It's not impossible to sacrifice him if necessary. Gucci instantly thought of a countermeasure.

Thinking of today's meeting place, he was ready to talk to Zuo Zhong, but before he could speak, Zuo Zhong shook his head slightly. Not far away, Zhou Longyang walked over with a middle-parted head and a smile.

“Mr. Shen, Director Li, and Director Liu, it’s time to leave. The car sent by Boss Liang is already outside the door.” Zhou Longyang bowed respectfully to the three of them.

Zuo rearranged his tie and walked down the steps arrogantly: "Let's go. I hope Liang Yuandong is not joking, otherwise I will be the first to deal with you."

Zhou Longyang quickly moved out of the way and said: "No, Mr. Shen will definitely be satisfied. The guests who have been to the party organized by Boss Liang all agree."

Zuo Zhong walked in the front without hesitation, followed by Director Li and Gu Qi. When the four of them walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they found two cars parked at the door.

The driver stood respectfully in front of the car. Whether it was intentional or not, there was an obvious bulge in the waists of the two of them. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that they were carrying weapons.

Director Li's thighs trembled unfavorably, as if he was about to die. The other party carrying the gun so openly was definitely not a sign of friendship.

 Gu Qi was still smiling and didn't care at all. They were just two gun-wielding drivers. He could control each other by surprise without the section chief taking action.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Zhong judged that Liang Yuandong should have a complete showdown, and was even ready to take action, otherwise he would not be so public and careless.

Zhou Longyang stood next to the first car and opened the rear door: "Master Shen, please get in the car. The distance to the party is not very close. If you arrive late, I'm afraid there will be a traffic jam." Zuo Zhong chuckled and turned to look at the person next to him. Director Li: "Director Li, you and I are sharing a car. Director Liu will sit in the back car with Director Zhou."

Gu Qi immediately cooperated and said: "Yes, Liu just likes spaciousness. Director Zhou, please come to my car. We will just have a chat when we meet for the first time."

He knew the section chief's worries. If Director Li and Zhou Longyang were allowed to share a car, there might be flaws in the conversation, and they would not be allowed to communicate.

After Gu Qi finished speaking, he pulled Zhou Longyang into the car without any explanation. Zuo Zhong also helped Director Li get into the first car. The two cars drove towards the eastern suburbs of Jinling. Eastern suburbs? Zuo Zhong was thoughtful.

There are sanatoriums where Japanese espionage cases broke out, and there are also some relatively secluded villas, which are very suitable for holding some intimate small gatherings. But is this really the case? Zuo Chong quickly denied it.

If these two cars came from the gathering place, then the current route must be deceptive, because there is no dirt and evergreen leaves on the wheels, which is not in line with the characteristics of the vicinity of Tangshan.

Even if the vehicle comes from the city specifically to pick up people, the possibility of Liang Yuandong gathering in Tangshan is also unlikely. There are too many military and police officers nearby, and they will be unable to escape if something happens.

If he were given a choice, a bustling place in the city would be an ideal gathering place. The gathering of people would not attract attention, and it would be easy to retreat in case of danger. I wonder if Chunyang and the others have followed.

Thinking of this, Zuo Zhong glanced to the side. Director Li's hand on his knee was trembling. Zuo Zhong smiled and put his hand on it, and started talking to him about family matters. The topic was the other party's son.

“Director Li, your son is about to graduate from the Army University. I’m very happy to congratulate you. It’s really amazing. Both father and son are disciples of the emperor. If you need any help, just ask. You’re welcome.”

Director Li was agitated. How did Zuo Zhong know that his son had just graduated from Army University? He had never mentioned this outside. Could someone be monitoring them and their families?

Moreover, what did the person named Zuo mean by what he said? Was it a sign of goodwill or a threat? Director Li was such a precious son, and his hopes for the rest of his life were pinned on him, so he was suddenly a little nervous.

Over there, Zuo Zhongbao said: "Go back and ask your eldest nephew which department he wants to go to. I can't guarantee anything else. The Military Commission is sure. If he wants to go to the frontline combat unit, let him choose."

As he spoke, he patted Director Li's hand: "We are all brothers, so there is no need to be polite to me."

Feeling the warmth of Zuo Zhong's palm, and hearing the words "brother" again, Director Li understood that Zuo Zhong was reminding him that as long as he could finish the scene well, he and his son would be rewarded.

On the other hand, not only will his current position be unstable, but his son's future will also be uncertain. It all depends on his choice now. Director Li had no choice but sighed and nodded slightly.

Zuo Zhong took back his hand and looked at the streets of Jinling passing by outside the window. The driver drove the car very fast during rush hour, not caring whether he would hit pedestrians. This was an anti-tracking action.

He didn’t look at the movement behind him. Even if he couldn’t keep up, his men wouldn’t be so amateurish as to reveal their identity. However, the other party’s actions proved that they were about to head to the real gathering place.

What would Young Master Shen do with such a disregard for human life? Zuo Zhong's face showed a sickly flush and he looked extremely excited. He patted the driver on the shoulder and shouted loudly: "Drive faster and kill these guys." Mud legs."

As he spoke, he danced in the carriage. Director Li's hair stood on end. Someone in the bureau said that Zuo was a little mentally disturbed. This couldn't be true. I really can't afford to offend such a lunatic.

The driver was very obedient and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The vehicles and pedestrians on the road cursed and hurriedly avoided the two cars.

The car almost hit people several times, but the driver used his skillful driving skills to avoid them all. Zuo Zhong was not surprised by this. What Liang Yuandong needed was for him to be intact and not really get into trouble.

　　While driving, the driver suddenly pulled the steering wheel hard while passing a small intersection. The chassis of the car made noise, and it was obviously overwhelmed.

You can imagine how sharp this turn was. Zuo Zhong's body suddenly pressed against the right door. The unprepared Director Li was even more upset by this move.

“Happy, well done, I’m going to reward you.” Zuo Zhong smiled, took out a stack of money and threw it towards the driver’s seat, and quietly touched Director Li with his arm.

Director Li almost vomited just now. After receiving Zuo Zhong's signal, he looked up and found that the car had turned from due east to due south, and was speeding towards the DC area. Where are they going?

He thought for a while and asked in a deep voice: "Where is your boss Liang's party, and how did you drive the car? I almost fell out of the car just now."

Given Mr. Shen’s character, I couldn’t tell, so it would be no problem if the steady Director Li asked. The driver slowed down the car and pointed to the building not far away: “The two guests are here. The party is at the East Asia Hotel.”

At this time, Mr. Shen suddenly opened the car window and cursed at a passerby: "Get the **** away." After speaking, he retracted his head and showed a satisfied smile.

The driver didn't know what was going on, so he just assumed that the other party had gone crazy again. After following the target for so many days, Mr. Shen was so unreasonable and ridiculous.

After being insulted, the pedestrian spat at the car and turned away. He looked at him carefully and then turned away. After walking a few hundred meters, the pedestrian walked into a shop.

Charles Franklin Kettering invented the battery starting system for automobiles, which was first used in Cadillac cars in 1912.
