Volume 1 Chapter 67: Boss Dai's Arrangement (Please Collect)
Zeng Che and Zhang Zhao sang a duet, confusing the calendar, but also gaining some benefits. He chuckled to himself, looking sideways at the car window, seemingly admiring his youthful appearance.
After running on the bumpy road for an afternoon, Huang Li and others rested overnight. It wasn't until after noon the next day that they finally entered Beiping City. And in this short period of time, Huang Li was already able to drive a car very skillfully. Of course, this was only a partial recall of memories, but it still surprised Zeng Che greatly. To know that in this era, cars were not many, and those who had the qualifications to be drivers were even fewer. Although there were driving lessons in the special agent training course, few people could really master it and drive as smoothly as flying.
"Brother Huang, let's part ways for now. Someone will be in touch with you later." Zeng Che warmly shook hands with Huang Li and bid him farewell, then called over Zhang Zhao, "For the next few days, have Little Zhang accompany you on a stroll around Beiping. The expenses will all be covered by the organization, so consider it a chance for Brother Huang to relax properly."
"Thank you, Brother Zhou." Huang Li expressed his gratitude politely and made an appointment with Zhang Zhao for the next day before heading towards his home not far away.
"To Wanli's place." Zeng Che looked at the back of Huang Li disappearing in the distance, and then got into the car with Zhang Zhao, rushing to Jin Yu Hutong. Along the way, Zeng Che was deep in thought, no one knew what he was thinking about.
It was also a coincidence that Zeng Che arrived at the Goldfish Alley not long after, Chen Gong and Wang Wen also returned from Tongzhou, and judging by their expressions, things didn't go smoothly.
"Gong Hong brother, how was your inspection trip to Tongzhou?" Zeng Che asked with concern: "Even if there are difficulties, there is always a way to solve them, no need to worry too much."
Chen Gongpu smiled wryly and shook his head, recounting the events of this trip from start to finish.
He and Wang Wen entered Tongzhou relatively smoothly, the checks by the pseudo police and security teams were just a formality. The car stopped, the pseudo police just glanced inside and let them pass, without even asking a single question. Chen Gongpu was secretly delighted at this point, thinking that if they had been carrying weapons and ammunition, it would have been easy to smuggle them into the city.
But after personally scouting, Chen Gongbo reluctantly vetoed the plan to storm in. The streets of Tongzhou City were narrow and any good car could not drive fast. This alone would affect the safe withdrawal planned, and it was difficult to resolve.
Chen Gongpu finished his account and sighed repeatedly to Zeng Lu, "Brother Zeng, if you went to Tongzhou, you would also feel puzzled and heartbroken, lamenting the ignorance, foolishness, dullness, and lack of vitality of our people. From Beiping to Tongzhou, it should be two completely different worlds, but there is no clear boundary between them. The common people come and go freely, without any restrictions or feelings of injustice under the puppet regime, it's really hard to understand, alas!"
Zeng Che didn't respond, he just smiled wryly with a hint of helplessness. He was well aware of the reasons behind this phenomenon, but he didn't dare to criticize the government's weakness and the various ills that plagued its governance, which made the general public's political awareness quite vague, lacking affinity and identification with the government. The situation in North China had been in a state of chaos for several years due to the government's repeated weakness, and ordinary people couldn't tell who was genuine and who was fake, nor did they want to know. They just wanted to live in peace and were content as long as they had a stable life, so who would care about other things?
Chen Gongbo paused for a moment, seemingly also feeling that his words were inappropriate, and then defended himself by saying: "If the authorities take strong measures against the Hebei puppet regime, everyone can expect that the Japanese army, which created the Hebei puppet regime, will not give up easily. Instead, they will use this as an excuse to expand the situation and make unreasonable threats. At that time, the overall situation in North China, which our government has worked hard to ease, will become tense again and may even get out of control. This is probably the fundamental reason why it is inconvenient to take military action, and also the reason why we should take action to destroy the puppet regime."
Zeng Cheng hastily echoed: "Gong Hui's words are very reasonable, the puppet regime is not suitable for taking government action, and it's true that there are many difficulties. As for the difficulties, they are not unexpected. When Wan Li returns, we will discuss them in detail and there will be a way out. I have an initial idea, but it's not mature yet, let me think about it carefully before speaking."
Chen Gonghui forced a smile, gently stroking his forehead. He had been thinking about this all along the way, but always felt it was difficult to effectively solve, unless he was determined to burn everything to ashes. Otherwise, after launching a surprise attack, how to withdraw would be a difficult problem to solve. Of course, other methods could also be adopted, such as poisoning, but that would require winning over Yin Rugong's trusted followers from his side, and spending money was a small matter, the problem was that if time dragged on, superiors would start to urge and inquire.
Two people sat in the living room, both thinking about things, chatting idly from time to time, until Mao Wanli walked in with a smile.
"Zeng brother, Gong Huan brother, I've kept you two waiting for a long time." Mao Wanli casually cupped his hands together and sat down in the chair with a thud, saying: "Just now there was official business, really sorry to have delayed things."
Zeng Che said with a smile: "Wanli brother is beaming with joy, what good news do you have to share with us, so we can also celebrate together?"
Chen Gongpu also chimed in: "I was disappointed and frustrated on my way back, but hearing some good news would be a nice pick-me-up."
Mao Wanli smiled and slowly drank his tea, intentionally keeping them in suspense. After Zeng Chen repeatedly urged him, he finally said slowly: "The matter of punishing Yin Rugong has a clear direction now, we can all take it easy."
Zeng Che and Chen Gongyu exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat unexpected. Chen Gongyu was enthusiastic about the matter and hastily asked: "Wanli brother, quickly say something, what's a good way to do it, so I don't have to think deeply here."
Mao Wanli pretended to be deep and drank a sip of tea, then slowly said: "Dai Lao has already made meticulous arrangements. A Miss Shang from Nanjing has arrived in Beiping to assist with the work. I just went to receive her and sent someone to take her to Tongzhou. She is acquainted with Yin Rugong and can meet him directly. It's very likely that she will be entertained at Yin's mansion, which will be a great achievement!"
Chen Gongpu suddenly became curious and asked Mao Wanli again to talk about the situation of this young lady in detail.
"I've only met her once, and I don't know much about her." Mao Wanli thought for a moment before evaluating: "She speaks with a Sichuan accent, so she must be from Sichuan, but I didn't ask her where her family is from. As for age, she looks to be in her twenties, the petite and delicate type. In terms of beauty, she's indeed extraordinary, not quite a stunning beauty, but what attracts people most is that indescribable charm."
Hehe, haha, when men talk about women, they always have that kind of lustful interest, the three people let out strange laughter.
