After listening to Xia Zhongming's words, Chen Mingxiang immediately knew what the other party meant. He wanted to move closer to himself, use his strong backstage to support the status of the Investigation and Statistics Department, and also safeguard his own interests. It is equivalent to saying that Li Shiqun's situation during this period has had an impact on the people below. [≤8 [≤8 [≤read [≤book,.▽.o√

No matter how good the brotherly friendship is, it cannot withstand the threat brought by reality. The Investigation and Statistics Department comes from Li Shiqun's deterrence to the Jinling government. If Li Shiqun falls, this department will be 100% cut off. What a bullshit, it cannot be just a word from the bigwigs of the Jinling government.

Chen Mingxiang looked at Xia Danwei who was dancing with Li Shiqun on the dance floor. The two of them were dancing and joking, looking very happy.

He and Xia Zhongming had no contact before, and their relationship could not be said to be cold, but they were just nodding. They could say something when they met, but they would not be in contact without meeting each other. Xia Zhongming actually used the resources of the Survey and Statistics Department as bargaining chips and chose himself as his backer in the future. This may be Xia Danwei's proposal. If this is true, he would have to look at this girl with admiration.

"I have never had much contact with the affairs of the Investigation and Statistics Department. How is the development now?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

"The work of the Investigation and Statistics Department is all handed over to Yang Jie and me. I am stationed in Shanghai and he is stationed in Jinling. As of now, there are nine workstations in southern Jiangsu, northern Jiangsu, central Henan, eastern Zhejiang, northern Jiangxi, northern Hubei and southern Hubei. Each station has six investigation teams under its jurisdiction, with a total of fifty-four local investigation teams."

"In addition, there is an office in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, which is under the jurisdiction of two investigation teams. The Jinling Headquarters of the Investigation and Statistics Department has two investigation teams, which together have a total of 58 investigation teams. The current staffing is more than 4,000 people, and each investigation team is equipped with light weapons. [≤8【≤8【≤8【≤read【≤book,.▽.o√” Xia Zhongming said.

Since Chen Mingxiang asked, he expressed his attitude and felt a little relaxed. Speaking of which, this was really the suggestion of his daughter Xia Danwei. Being surrounded by Chen Mingxiang is equivalent to joining the Japanese garrison. Even if Li Shiqun falls, the Investigation and Statistics Department can get better placement.

This is not about dealing with Li Shiqun, nor is it about betrayal, but about leaving a way for the future. Such actions will not harm Li Shiqun's interests.

"Okay, since you've said this, after you go back, sort out the staff list and organizational situation, send it to my office, and leave it to Wu Ziying to lock it in the safe. I'll take time to see what's going on with Yang Jie now?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

He was really moved by this bargaining chip. There is really no shortage of smart people in this world. Everyone knows that his weakness is there and no one can use it. These four thousand trained spy forces can be regarded as a generous gift for meeting.

"The various investigation teams of the Investigation and Statistics Department are basically idle and occasionally receive a joint investigation task from the Japanese army. Yang Jie naturally does not pay attention to his work. In addition to asking the Ministry of Finance for salary and funds every month, he is just watching the movements of various yamen and seeking out news for the officials. I am responsible for the specific daily affairs." Xia Zhongming said.

Having said that, there is no need to continue talking. Just everyone knows what's going on. Too much talk may attract the attention of some people, such as Wan Lilang, who has been staring at this side tonight. This guy is a difficult person.

Li Shiqun is Li Shiqun. Others think that the source of his news in Jinling is mainly Ma Xiaotian. Who knows that it is Yang Jie. He has never relaxed his attention to Jinling.

"I haven't seen each other for a long time. I haven't congratulated the director on his promotion to police chief and entering the special officer sequence in one fell swoop." Wan Lilang walked over with a wine glass and said with a smile.

"I'm just a free agent and I don't have much pride capital. I heard that District Mayor Wan is highly valued by Minister Li. Now it's time to be popular. I have to congratulate you!" Chen Mingxiang said lightly.

"The director said this so harshly. How dare I say it is so popular in front of you? You now have the sales of salt in the entire central China region and the supply of coal in the Shanghai market. You are also asked for the power of the police department from the Japanese. You are both very popular in the Japanese and Jinling governments. I don't know how to polite the matter of the deputy director of the Shanghai Police Bureau. Here I will apologize to you!" Wan Lilang drank the red wine in his cup.

Chen Mingxiang's petty eyes are worthy of being famous. Judging from his tone, he seems to be obsessed with what happened at the beginning. Fortunately, he found an opportunity to resolve it in time. Otherwise, even if he had the chance in the future, this guy would have to find a way to ruin it.

Wan Lilang is also a proud and arrogant person. He recognizes Chen Mingxiang's business skills and ability to do business, but when it comes to spies, he is simply an amateur. It is most suitable for him to do the position of police chief.

But for him, Chen Mingxiang has become an insurmountable peak. This man is too capable of creating relationships and is completely suppressing him. If he wants to obtain an important position in the Jinling government in the future, if he does something bad, the ending will inevitably be disastrous.

Even if you get a high position in the future, you still have to establish a good relationship with Chen Mingxiang. If you only have a thousand days to be a thief, how can you defend against thieves for a thousand days?

"Okay, they are all their own brothers, not so many twists and turns. When you mentioned this, do you have any other ideas?" Chen Mingxiang said, litting a cigar.

Also? This word seems to convey a message. Chen Mingxiang will not use this word casually, and Wan Lilang immediately understood.

"Director, it can be said that it is in a turmoil now, and the situation is very unoptimistic. Director Li has been in a bad mood during this period. To be honest, the agent headquarters is also unstable. Everyone is worried that Chairman Wang and the Japanese plan to weaken the strength of the agent headquarters." Wan Lilang told the truth.

"You have been in contact with Minister Zhou long ago. No matter how bad the situation is, the gust of wind will not blow on your head. What's there to worry about?" Chen Mingxiang said.

In order to deal with Li Shiqun, Zhou Nihai privately won over Wan Lilang as an insider. This matter was operated by Ding Mocun, and he assisted from the side.

However, since the implementation of the plan, there has been no achievements. Wan Lilang is still a senior executive of the agent headquarters and has no say in major affairs and personnel adjustments.

Although Li Shiqun regarded Wan Lilang as his confidant, he always kept a close eye on the agent headquarters, and his power was highly concentrated. After all, it was the capital to start his business and he was not allowed to relax a little.

According to Chen Mingxiang's judgment, Zhou Nihai was probably very disappointed with Wan Lilang and understood that the strategy of internalizing it would not be of much use, and at most it would be used as a backup method.

"That's right, but I failed Minister Zhou's expectations. I have been at the secret service headquarters until now and have done nothing. Minister Ding's contact with me has basically been interrupted."
