And here, besides Hong Suixian, there was another person who also breathed a sigh of relief after last night, but the reason was different.
"Uncle Li, are you here again?" Pi Dapeng and Little Sister Pi met a man with white hair in the courtyard. The Pi family brothers and sisters showed great respect for him.
"Don't worry if you don't come and see me! How about it? Xiaonizi, what happened last night made you give up, right?"
The man was impressed and looked at Pi Xiaomei. Pi Xiaomei did not dare to look directly and lowered her head with a guilty conscience.
Beside him, Pi Dapeng was obviously much happier, and said happily: "Uncle Li, don't worry, my little sister already knows that she was wrong, and she won't have those thoughts again in the future."
Hearing this, Uncle Li nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's good if you think so. We can't get involved in those things. To be honest, if this kind of thing doesn't come to us, then thank God. How can we take the initiative to do it ourselves?"
Minato?"
"...Yes, yes..." Pi Dapeng quickly nodded in agreement, scratched his face, chuckled, and invited Uncle Li into the living room.
The Pi family brothers and sisters were waiting on each other while chatting with each other. The topic changed. Little sister Pi was obviously more active and closer to each other.
The four of them chatted about home affairs for a long time and had a meal together. Then the Pi family brother and sister sent him out in person.
The two of them didn't go back until the other person's car disappeared at the intersection, but what they didn't realize was that there were two pairs of eyes witnessing all this somewhere around them.
"The one you suspect is the one named Li. He doesn't look like him! The brothers and sisters respect him very much, especially Pi Xiaomei. They don't see anything unusual about him. Maybe he chose the wrong target, right?"
"This kind of person is often able to hide himself deeply. His various contacts with the Pi brothers and sisters have been relatively estranged for some time, but recently they have become inexplicably more frequent. It is difficult not to make people suspicious."
Hearing this, another person turned around and retorted: "Maybe it's out of genuine concern? According to the information I heard, he did care about the two of them in the past."
"Don't rely on sincerity! If you can sell all kinds of intelligence information to others, how can you have any sincerity? It's just calculation and use.
Those who openly plan to use them are more likely to have no problem, but those who talk about things like feelings are likely to have ulterior secrets mixed in.
Moreover, if he really cared, he wouldn't have been so distant before. Now, some of his previous calculations were probably working, so this guy came closer again, revealing the fox's tail.
The most important thing is that his characteristics are actually quite consistent with the information provided by his superiors, and he has had enough long-term contact with the Pi family brothers and sisters.
Then it may be that the plan is not used, or it is not used at the right time, or it is an accident, he will be more concerned about it, or he will be more interested in solving or delaying the matter..."
This person made a good analysis. Viewed separately, these are indeed not worthy of doubt, but if taken together, there are not so many coincidences in the world. However, the other person still has some doubts.
"Then how did he do these things without the Pi brothers and sisters noticing? I didn't suspect anything was wrong before, but now I have to have some suspicions, right?
"It's not like he has to do these things. Can't he find someone to be a good person? Leaders often like to do this. One person is responsible for training and the other is for comfort.
Finally! It’s time to give me a lesson, so you won’t be too unhappy, and even be grateful. I guess it’s the same, this old man surnamed Li is probably the one who plays the role of a good guy.”
The man nodded as he listened, followed the other person's train of thought, and thought about it carefully. He could indeed feel that this person was indeed suspicious.
After thinking for a moment, the man asked: "One thing I still don't understand is why the higher-ups arranged for us to investigate this matter? This matter seems to be of no use to us, right?"
"...Don't be curious and ask around..." I gave a warning before saying, "It's not impossible to say that those people have been doing a lot of activities around here since they came to Shanghai, and the higher-ups are wondering if there is something fishy going on this week.
Therefore, after collecting some information here, we arranged for people to come and investigate some suspicious places. At present, even if we find out what is behind this, it is probably far from our purpose. "
After the man heard this, he didn't say anything more. After staring for a while, the two of them turned around and stared at the gray-haired old man who left.
…
Qian Qigui, who had just put down the phone, still stayed in the house, with the doors and windows closed and even multiple locks, with some traces of new repairs still remaining.
Last night, the news came, which frightened him so much that he was in panic all day long. He even wanted to run to the Japanese to seek asylum.
But he also knew that once he ran away, his men would be scattered, and without his men, he would lose everything, and the Japanese would never look down on him again.
In the end, he had no choice but to pretend to be calm, and asked his cronies to secretly block doors and windows, while at the same time trying his best to comfort his men so that the people below would not disperse.
During this period, various news came, and the people under his command almost dispersed several times. Fortunately, he was able to stabilize the situation in the end, and the situation was barely calm until early in the morning.
But he still felt uneasy, he didn't dare to rest or sleep, for fear that he would never wake up again. Even if a phone call came to comfort him, he was still in a state of panic.
"...Crack..." He lit up a cigarette and sat on the recliner he used to love lying on, recalling everything about this period of time.
Once upon a time, what he wanted to do most, and what he thought was his lifelong pursuit, was to overthrow his former boss, and he no longer had to pay him most of the benefits.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to accept the calculations of some people and grab the olive branch they threw, in order to get what he wanted from his heart.
Now, it can be regarded as reluctantly achieved! Although he did not directly attack the boss, under the operation of some people, he acquiesced in his independence.
Now, his power is not weaker than that of the former boss. Before, he was even ambitious and thought that when this matter is over, he will definitely rectify his power and eat up the other party.
But now, everything has become so boring, or in other words, what he once chased was actually so vulnerable.
The wanton assassination by the Intelligence Department, the indifference of the Special High School, and the feeling of powerlessness made him feel that everything he was chasing was just a joke.
He regretted it a little, but it was too late. After taking that step, he had no way of turning back. Facing those people, he had no right to choose!
As he smoked one cigarette after another, Qian Qigui was in a daze, with so many thoughts in his mind that he didn't know what he would eventually come up with.
…
On the Special High School side, they didn't really ignore them completely. They were also trying to find out information through various channels, but they didn't get much results.
This period of conflict has caused considerable damage to their intelligence network in Shanghai. Even if it is not an uprooting and destruction, it will not take a while to reorganize and operate efficiently.
For the time being, they are really overwhelmed and unable to do anything. Of course, some basic information can still be collected. This is why they contacted Qian Qizhong and others through various channels to comfort them.
They naturally judged that this was the closing operation of the Intelligence Department. While they breathed a sigh of relief, they also noticed some of the calculations, which was not a good sign.
In other words, now, no matter what these people are planning, they don't dare to look down upon it. After all, they have learned from the past, but they don't dare to intervene indiscriminately. They still have to learn from the past to avoid making mistakes.
Fortunately, there is not no good news. In view of the critical situation on their side, the higher-ups have decided to provide him with a lot of support.
Including but not limited to personnel, financial and other support. Of course, this is also limited. There are sufficient personnel, but the quality may be a bit lacking. The funds are only to meet urgent needs, and it is impossible to fill all the gaps for them.
While the Special Higher Education Department was silent, the president had already brought his people, and after hurriedly packing up the arrangements, he evacuated directly. The chartered ship was rumored to be heading directly back to China.
As for the Navy, although some people were a little eager to give it a try, in the end, under unknown pressure, they chose to sit on the wall and watch. Apart from some small actions, they did not take any big actions.
For a moment, Shanghai seemed to be jumping up and down except for Lin Mo, and these people seemed to have become deaf and blind.
…
In front of the fireplace with the swaying fire, the blond man looked at the brown-haired man who entered the door, motioned to sit down, and stood up helplessly to get the wine.
"No, I just want to understand the situation with you. According to the intelligence I got, the Japanese Navy's intelligence forces seemed to be ready to move, but they suddenly stopped for some reason. I want to find out if you know the situation."
The blond man sat back decisively and replied with a smile: "Someone stopped it! What else could it be?"
"Can you be more specific?" The brown-haired man came back from his daze. He just said politely! You really don't want to take it? But business is more important, and I don't want to talk about it for the time being.
"Some people don't want the situation to escalate. The Navy has been involved in the May 15 Incident before, and the book hiding issue some time ago seems to have something to do with them. It is being watched more closely now.
Since 128, the power of the Japanese navy has extended to Shanghai. Once it intervenes, the situation will get out of control and may lead to a battlefield. This is something some people have never wanted to see.
It probably also includes the one who just had the silver incident. Once the situation expands, there is a high probability that the matter will be brought out. Although it can stir up public opinion, it is always disgraceful and extremely disgraceful. It will damage its prestige.
These.
It may not only be the navy, but other parties are probably suppressed. This time the conflict between the two sides in Shanghai is probably at its end and is about to come to an end."
The brown-haired man felt a little helpless when he heard this. He also wanted to ask the Intelligence Department to help him! Eliminate some people for him, but when he received the news today, he had a hunch that something was wrong, and now he confirmed it.
Since the Japanese want to settle this matter, there is a high probability that some news will be leaked to the south. With the urinary temperament of those people, it is probably unlikely that the people in the Intelligence Department will take any further action.
The facts were indeed as he had guessed. Lin Mo had already received a call asking them to stop all actions and withdraw as soon as possible. Fortunately, he had almost completed the final touches. Whether this message came or not did not have much impact, but it still left him feeling uneasy.
