Spy Shadow

Chapter 281 Virgo cheers

In Shanghai Station, Chen Shu sat at the head of the conference room. Apart from the leaders of the action team and the intelligence team, the only ones left next to him were the four team leaders who had been kicked off.

"You haven't come to work during this period. What do you mean?"

Chen Shu was the first to attack, asking about the four team leaders. It was true that they had never been here, but their identities were still in the Military Intelligence Department, at the Shanghai Station.

Not coming to work means being absent from work without excuse.

Bai Yuan's eyes immediately showed resentment. Why didn't they come to work? Weren't they forced by you?

The dignified team leader has no position at all now. What are they doing here? Is it embarrassing?

"Stationmaster, it's not that we won't come, it's just that there is nothing we need to do in the station. We were team leaders before. Aren't we afraid of affecting the work of the new team leader?"

Shi Tongshan, the former telecommunications team leader, first determined that the four team leaders had some opinions in their hearts, but Chen Shu was too strong and did not dare to express them.

"What you said makes sense, but that's not a reason for you to miss work."

Chen Shu waved his hand, and the four of them said nothing, all with their heads lowered.

"Now I'll give you a chance to prove yourself."

Chen Shu said slowly, and the four of them were stunned. Is Chen Shu a reformer? He would actually give them a chance?

"I don't care about your background, I only look at your ability. If you do well, I will use you. If you do not do well, don't blame me for being rude. Even if you were the team leader before, you will be a soldier for me in the future, otherwise I will not forgive you. you."

His words made the four of them sigh inwardly and curse continuously, but they did not dare to express any dissatisfaction on their lips.

You also said that no matter where you were, why did you promote your people and move us all down after you came to Shanghai Station?

Standing and talking without pain in the back, you can act like a bitch and stand tall at the same time.

What do you mean by giving us a chance? Are you really so kind as to give us a chance? I'm afraid you are using this reason to beat us and make us obey, so as to show your authority.

The four of them dared not speak out in anger, and all of them lowered their heads.

"There are four tasks here. Each of you will perform one task. If you perform it well, I won't say that the officer will be reinstated, but at least I will give you a position that matches your military rank. If you don't do it well, it means that you are not capable, so you will be given a job. I will start from scratch honestly."

No matter what they thought, Chen Shu still showed his strength.

This is normal. There is no reason why he won't give these people a chance, otherwise it will only arouse suspicion, which is not in line with his temperament.

At present, in addition to Bai Yuan, the other three team leaders are still available, especially the general affairs team leader Zhong Yuanjiang.

"Now let's start drawing lots."

After Chen Shu finished speaking, Feng Qun brought a box with four envelopes inside, representing the four tasks for assessing them.

Feng Qun walked up to them and signaled Zhong Yuanjiang to smoke first.

Zhong Yuanjiang had no choice but to take out the top envelope.

Next was Shitongshan, and finally Bai Yuan. When Bai Yuan arrived, he had no choice.

The so-called drawing of lots is just a matter of situation. In fact, the tasks of each of them have been arranged in advance. Feng Qun's box has a mechanism. No matter how the first Zhong Yuanjiang is drawn, it will be the task.

The contents of the four letters are exactly the same. There are compartments in the box, and each compartment is changed after each person has finished.

After replacing the next person, the contents of the three envelopes are the same. As long as the order of the drawing is controlled, they have the final say on who is assigned the four tasks.

But the four of them didn't know that and really thought it was a fair draw.

"Each of you has a separate task. You cannot tell others and must keep it secret. Each of you will be given three days. After three days, you will come to me to report the results. The meeting is over."

After Chen Shu finished speaking, he left directly, once again showing his strength.

The others followed and left, leaving only Bai Yuan and four others in the conference room.

You look at me, I look at you, Zhong Yuanjiang said first: "Even if it is to make things difficult, there is nothing we can do. Just accept your fate. I will leave first."

Zhong Yuanjiang left with his envelope, and others went out one after another. In the end, only Bai Yuan was left.

Bai Yuan hesitated and opened his envelope directly.

"Exploring the checkpoint situation in the Japanese Concession."

The content was very simple. Bai Yuan was a little confused at first, and soon his face was full of anger.

This task didn't seem difficult. He just went to inquire about the situation at the checkpoint. But he was alone now and had no subordinates available. If he wanted to complete the task, he had to go there and inquire about it himself.

There are more than one checkpoints in Japan. If he goes to every one, he will easily be targeted by the Japanese.

Moreover, the checkpoints in the Japanese Concession were not only on the edge, but also inside. If he wanted to detect them all, he had to find a way to sneak into the Japanese Concession.

This makes it easier to be discovered. If caught by the Japanese, he will die.

Chen Shu is vicious and wants to use a Japanese knife to kill some of their unsightly team leaders. At this time, he believes that the other three are the same as him and are the targets that Chen Shu wants to get rid of.

"Chen Shu, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."

Bai Yuan's eyes flashed with determination, and he stood up and strode out of the conference room. He would not let Chen Shu's conspiracy succeed, and he would fight for a way out for himself.

But in the Military Intelligence Department, Chen Shu obviously gave him no way to survive. Even if he was lucky enough to complete the mission this time, Chen Shu would use various methods to plot his death in the future.

Resigning and leaving is even more impossible.

The Military Intelligence Department is not an ordinary department. There is no talk of resignation here. Unless there is a lot of energy and transfer, you can only go out sideways.

Chen Shu now forced him to have no choice but to agree to the Japanese conditions.

He was forced, all because of Chen Shu. Until now, Bai Yuan has never thought about his fault.

Yesterday, Kitajima Kawasuke found him again, and this time he said his purpose without any more nonsense.

Sure enough, they wanted to instigate him to rebel and make him serve the Japanese.

At that time, Bai Yuan refused, but Kitajima Kawasuke did not give up or threaten him. Instead, he helped him analyze the current situation.

His backstage collapsed, he was not welcomed in the military intelligence department, and Chen Shu was a strong person. Sooner or later, he would take action against him and get rid of these unsightly bugs.

Only cooperation with the Japanese is his only way out.

Japan is very powerful, much more powerful than China, and can provide it with more security guarantees.

Bai Yuan didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either, saying he would consider it.

Looking at it now, Kitajima Kawasuke was right in everything he said. Chen Shu was really ambitious and wanted to kill them, so he deliberately used a mission.

This seemingly simple, but very dangerous task can kill people invisible.

Insidious, cunning, and vicious, this is Bai Yuan's evaluation of Chen Shu.

He didn't want to die. He had never considered defecting to the Japanese before, but now the situation was different. Chen Shu would not let him live. Only by defecting to the Japanese could he continue to live.

He wants revenge, revenge on Chen Shu, and wants Chen Shu, the webmaster, to step down.

He will continue to stay in the Military Intelligence Department. With the help of the Japanese, it will be easy to make meritorious deeds in the future. If Chen Shudou is defeated, he may be able to take over as the station chief in the future.

After becoming the webmaster, although he still cannot escape the control of the Japanese, the greater his power, the higher his role will be to the Japanese, and the Japanese will only value him more.

Bai Yuan did not go home, but went to a public phone booth far away from Shanghai Station and dialed a number.

This phone number was left to him by Kitajima Kawasuke, asking him to contact him at any time after he thought about it. Bai Yuan accepted the phone number at that time, but he didn't expect that it would be used so soon.

He didn't know that everything he did was clearly seen in the dark.

"Check and see who he called."

Feng Qun received the news and immediately issued an order. After the other three team leaders got the envelope, some opened it on the road, some went home directly, and no one made a call.

The four team leaders all have telephones in their homes. Why do they need to travel so far away to call a public phone box in a secret way?

In his eyes, Bai Yuan's behavior was just deceiving others.

The phone number was quickly checked out and it turned out to be a call to the Japanese Concession.

Feng Qun snorted coldly. This was Bai Yuan's own choice. Although they helped to push the situation, he would not have done so if he reported it from the beginning or did not take the Japanese money.

In the end, it can be said that he brought it on himself.

In the French Concession, He Nian took personal command at the surveillance point.

This house was a bit far away from Chief Tang's residence. He couldn't help it. This was not Nanjing, and it wasn't a place where he could do whatever he wanted.

There were all single-family villas near the mansion where Tang Ci lived, and there was no way to rent a suitable surveillance point.

He settled for the next best thing and rented three places as surveillance points on the only way out of Vice Chief Tang's home. At the same time, he sent people disguised as various identities to pass by Chief Tang's home from time to time to conduct inspections.

First find out the travel patterns of Deputy Chief Tang, and then make an assassination plan.

They are here to kill, not to commit suicide. The plan must be careful. This is the French Concession, the territory of the French. After the assassination is successful, they must evacuate immediately and cannot leave themselves here.

As a result, there are great restrictions on them.

In Nanjing, after Sima Lin confessed, the case was completely closed. Chu Lingyun wrote the closing report in two days. Since He Nian was not around, he could only find Yuan Shouwang, the deputy section chief.

"Ling Yun, you are a rare visitor."

Seeing Chu Lingyun, Yuan Shouwang immediately stood up from behind his desk, laughed and came over to greet him.

In the Operations Department, Yuan Shouwang's presence is not strong, while He Nian is a strong section chief. He Nian usually handles all the big and small matters in the Operations Department very closely.

But Chu Lingyun had never underestimated the deputy section chief. Last time, he gave Yuan Shouwang a big red envelope while his father was celebrating his birthday.

Yuan Shouwang is a Virgo, and he comes from the same place as Virgo.

He usually keeps a low profile, but that doesn't mean he can be ignored. Anyone who underestimates him will definitely be in trouble.

"Chief Yuan, I'm really sorry. There were so many things going on before that I didn't dare to disturb you."

Chu Lingyun smiled and apologized, but Yuan Shouwang didn't care and pulled him to sit on the sofa.

"This case was beautifully done. Sima Lin lurked so deep and was so cautious. I didn't expect you to catch him and find out everything he did." Yuan Shouwang said with a smile after reading the closing report.

“It’s all thanks to the hard work of my colleagues in the Operations Department that we have achieved this success.”

Chu Lingyun humbly said that Zhu Qing had made great achievements in arresting Sima Lin this time. Regardless of whether it was luck or not, Sima Lin was captured by his own hands after all.

If they hadn't responded promptly, Sima Lin might have escaped.

Sima Lin is the most important person in this case. If he is allowed to run away, this case will be greatly stained and there will be no credit as it is now.

"You, don't be humble, come on, I'll take you to see Virgo."

Yuan Shouwang laughed, and took the closing report with Chu Lingyun to ask for a meeting.

Sima Lin's case brought out two big traitors, He Yuanhua and Deputy Chief Tang, especially Deputy Chief Tang. His defection shocked many people.

If Deputy Chief Tang is caught before he defectes, it will be an unprecedented achievement for the Military Intelligence Department.

It's a pity that these two idiots, He Nian and Xu Yi, got into trouble.

After reading the closing report, the director felt a little sad. He was thinking, if Deputy Chief Tang had been handed over to Chu Lingyun to investigate alone from the beginning, would there not have been such a result?

When it comes to handling cases, Chu Lingyun does have a keenness and ability that others do not have.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine, and besides, Deputy Chief Tang has a special status. It is impossible for Chu Lingyun, a team leader, to handle this case alone.

"Ling Yun, you did a good job. You have made great achievements this time. It's a pity that your military rank cannot be promoted in the short term. If you want anything, just ask."

Virgo looked at Chu Lingyun, Yuan Shouwang was startled by his words.

How could Virgo be so generous if he just asked for what he wanted? This was tantamount to letting Chu Lingyun propose the reward himself.

Moreover, as long as Chu Lingyun dares to say it, it is not too difficult, Virgo will definitely agree.

He couldn't be promoted in military rank, and he had made a lot of money himself. He certainly wouldn't ask for money, so what else could he ask for?

There is only one thing left, job.

Chu Lingyun is now the team leader. If promoted, he will only be the deputy section chief. If Chu Lingyun really wants to be the deputy section chief, what will he do?

Should I give it to Chu Lingyun, or should there be two deputy chiefs in the Operations Section?

Yuan Shouwang thought a lot, but Chu Lingyun shook his head: "Virgo has great love, and humble positions do not require rewards."

Virgo's rewards seem good, but they are a trap.

There wasn't much he could ask for. If he wanted to get promoted, Yuan Shouwang was a Virgo, and it was impossible to give up his position to him. He would have to go somewhere else.

In fact, there are very few places where he can go. The General Affairs Department and the Telecommunications Department are definitely not possible. The Director will not agree to allow a case-solving talent like him to go to these departments that are not directly involved in the case.

There is only one place left, to take over Xie Ziqi's position in the Intelligence Department and become the deputy section chief of the Intelligence Department.

If he really brought it up, Xu Yi would probably laugh out loud.

And after the New Year, they will resent him, and the entire Operations Department will not want to see him. His foundation is in the Operations Department, and even being a team leader here is better than being a deputy section chief in the Intelligence Department.

So he didn't mention any reward.

"You,"

Virgo shook his head and smiled. Not bad, very good. He was not proud of taking credit. He offered to give him a reward and let him choose. Chu Lingyun actually refused.

This is an excellent promotion opportunity. Once you become the deputy section chief, your future will be even brighter.

Chu Lingyun's ability to refuse such a temptation was a bit beyond his expectation.

"I will remember the credit for this time first, and we will reward you together later."

Virgo's words can be regarded as a summary of this case. It's not that there is no reward for merit, but there is nothing to reward.

As these achievements accumulate, he will definitely be rewarded accordingly in the future.

"Thank you, Virgo."

Chu Lingyun hurriedly thanked him, and Yuan Shouwang also breathed a sigh of relief. He Nian was right. Chu Lingyun was a very discerning person and did not take the opportunity to seize his position.

But now he really felt a sense of crisis. Now that Chu Lingyun didn't want him, he, the deputy section chief, would have to let Xian go sooner or later.

Even though he is a fellow countryman of Virgo, he knows very well that no one can block Chu Lingyun's promotion path.

He had to make plans for himself in advance. Taking advantage of the recent achievements of the Operations Section, he also shared some profits and tried to find a way to find a position as section chief.

In this case, Chu Lingyun was promoted, he successfully made further progress, and everyone was happy.

After the case closing report was submitted, although Chu Lingyun would not receive much reward, the rewards for his subordinates would be generous. With a wave of his hand, the director approved all promotion reports submitted by Chu Lingyun.

They are all promoted to lieutenants, and the military department will not hold them back.

The one who gained the most was Loach. He was promoted to lieutenant not long ago, but his continuous meritorious service allowed him to be promoted to captain again.

After knowing that he was going to be promoted, Niluo danced happily. Unfortunately, no one wanted to watch his dance. Chu Lingyun slapped him on the head and he stopped dancing.

The most correct decision that Loach made in his life was to hug Chu Lingyun's lap early.

In just over half a year, he was directly promoted from a soldier to a captain. This promotion was as fast as taking a plane.

Loach's gains didn't stop there. After being promoted to captain, he was given the concurrent role of deputy team leader of the fourth action group, which had been vacant.

It's not a problem that the deputy team leader has always been vacant. Let Loach occupy the position as soon as possible. Although there will be no arrangements for people to come in during the New Year, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

Chu Lingyun would not waste such a good opportunity.

Loach's successive promotions were not only based on Sima Lin's case, but also on the previous Nakamura Risa case and the accumulation of previous cases.

With so much credit, others won’t say anything as a deputy leader.

Shen Hanwen felt bad. He and Ni Loach were both ordinary members of the action team in Wuhan. Now Ni Loach has been promoted to captain, and he is still a lieutenant.

Not only that, Loach also became his boss.

But this time he was not jealous. He understood that he had done many wrong things before. The team leader still trusted him. It was a rare thing that he was not thrown out. He could not live up to the trust of the team leader. He would make more contributions in the future and strive for Promote your rank to captain as soon as possible.

Chu Yuan also made meritorious deeds. No one else is here, but the reward will not be less.

Chu Yuan was not promoted to military rank and his position remained unchanged. However, after making so many contributions, Chu Lingyun helped him apply for a fifth-class Yunhui Medal.

He is also the second person to receive the medal after Chu Lingyun.

The remaining team members received more rewards.

There are 120 people in the fourth operation group. Thirty-six people were promoted to second lieutenant this time. This promotion is so large that it is the first time for the Military Intelligence Department.

Including the team members who were previously promoted to second lieutenants, half of the members of the fourth operation team are now officers.

Their officer ratio is the highest in the entire operations department.

The other teams are jealous, but they are convinced. With so much merit, they can’t even get a promotion. Who will have the enthusiasm to work in the future?

The rewards came quickly. After all the members were commended, Chu Lingyun booked a big hotel and hosted a banquet for all the team members to celebrate. The leaders and deputy leaders of the other three action groups also accepted the invitation. Since He Nian was not here, Yuan Shouwang helped host it.

Zhu Qing is the person who supports Chu Lingyun the most, and he also has a share of the reward this time.

Although it was not a big deal, it allowed four people in his team to be promoted to second lieutenants. Because of catching Sima Lin, he also received a reward of one thousand French coins alone.

This result made Zhu Qing smile crookedly.

"The section chief is not here, so you just feed me."

At the main table, Yuan Shouwang sat at the head of the table. As a result, the four team leaders took turns, making him dizzy after drinking.

"Chief Yuan, even if the section chief is here, you still drink a lot."

Liu Wannian laughed. Yuan Shouwang usually did not hold power and had a good relationship with several team leaders. He did not dare to do this in front of the New Year greetings.

"Yes, I get drunk every time by you guys. Okay, I'll drink. I can't help but drink when I'm happy."

Yuan Shouwang laughed and cursed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"So lively?"

The door of the private room was suddenly opened, and everyone in the private room was stunned when they saw the person coming in.

The people in the private room were all the team leaders and deputy team leaders of each group. Except for Loach, who was also the team leader, the other team leaders were not qualified to come to this table.

Two people came in, and the leader was Virgo.

"Virgo, why are you here?"

Yuan Shouwang stood up in a hurry. This was a celebration banquet for their operations department. Strictly speaking, it was a celebration banquet for the fourth operation group.

How could a celebration banquet for an action team alarm Virgos?

"I happened to be passing by here. I heard that you were celebrating, so I came over to take a look."

Virgo came in with Secretary Qi, and Yuan Shouwang hurriedly gave up his seat. Virgo sat down unceremoniously. Secretary Qi took his seat on the left, and Yuan Shouwang hurried to the right.

Next to Secretary Qi was Chu Lingyun, and he gave Chu Lingyun a friendly smile.

Virgo was just passing by. He learned that the fourth team of the operation was holding a celebration banquet today and came here specifically to cheer up Chu Lingyun.

Virgo has never done this kind of thing many times, and he will only come forward unless there is a real achievement to celebrate.

As for the team-level celebration banquet, this is the first time for Virgo to participate.

As soon as Virgo came, the others didn't dare to speak or take a breath. The lively scene just now fell silent.

"Virgo, I would like to toast you and thank you for your continued care of our operations department."

Yuan Shouwang stood up in a hurry. He was the deputy section chief and he was not here during the New Year. He had to assume the responsibility of the operations section and could not really be left alone.

"Okay, I wish you new achievements in the Operations Department."

Virgo picked up the wine glass and took a sip with a smile, but did not finish the drink.

"Virgo, I would like to toast you too and thank you for coming to visit us in person."

Chu Lingyun stood up immediately. Today was the celebration banquet of the fourth group of Operations. It was his home field. After Yuan Shouwang, he had to continue his performance.

No matter why Virgo comes, if he comes in person, it is equivalent to expressing his support for the four action groups.

Chu Lingyun knew this very well, and this glass of wine must be toasted.

"Full."

Virgo smiled slightly, and Secretary Qi next to him immediately filled up his wine glass.

Chu Lingyun went first as a sign of respect, and Virgo drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Seeing this scene, everyone understood that Virgo was passing by, and he clearly came here deliberately to cheer.

Without looking at Deputy Chief Yuan's toast, Virgo only took a small sip. As soon as Chu Lingyun toasted, Virgo drank it immediately. Don't underestimate the half glass of wine. This is the difference in the weight in your heart.
