The eyes of all China are fixed on Xi'an.
Now, this country is like sitting on a big powder keg. Any spark is enough to trigger a terrible explosion.
On December 22, Song Meiling, Song Ziwen, and Dai Li arrived in Xi'an.
Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng went to the airport to greet him in person.
What Dai Li didn't expect was that as soon as he got off the plane, he was placed under solitary house arrest by Zhang Xueliang, and the soldiers disarmed his two revolvers on the spot.
Dai Li was placed under house arrest in the basement of a hotel. He took the risk to come to Xi'an and was locked up without even meeting the Chairman. Doesn't that mean his trip was in vain?
At this time, Dai Li did something very smart. He wrote a suicide note:
"Since I arrived here yesterday, I have been under surveillance. I am not far from death if I observe the situation silently. Coming here to die as a martyr is what comrades wish. But I have not seen the leader, so I am not willing to die."
He knew very well that this suicide note would be seen by the Chairman sooner or later.
Zhang Xueliang did not kill him, nor did he dare to kill him.
Dai Li risked his life to come to Xi'an, which he did not expect.
Once Dai Li is killed, he will become enemies with the entire Lixing Society.
Those agents who have lost their reliance will regard him as their biggest enemy.
At that time, he will have to face assassinations that may appear at any time.
Moreover, even if the matter is resolved, what will be the consequences of killing the Chairman's favorite general?
So Zhang Xueliang not only let Dai Li go quickly, but also gave Dai Li his own gun.
Dai Li knew that he had successfully escaped disaster.
When he finally met the chairman of the committee, Dai Li knelt in front of him, cried bitterly, and cursed himself for dereliction of duty.
And the chairman of the committee yelled: "What are you doing here? Get out of here!"
When he shouted this, in the chairman's heart, he already regarded Dai Li as "one of his own".
From this moment on, Dai Li's life and destiny took a huge turn. He risked his life to rush to Xi'an and follow the leader to live and die together. He changed from an ordinary confidant of the Chairman to a member of his own family.
In distant Nanjing, a person's fate will also undergo important changes:
Meng Shaoyuan!
"Xi'an communications restored!"
When Wei Daming took the telegram he had just received from Xi'an, he rushed into the office and shouted excitedly. Under the call of Tang Zong, all the eyes of the department-level cadres in the meeting fell on the telegram in Wei Daming's hand.
Wei Daming adjusted his emotions:
"Boss is fine, don't miss me. Bingzi is in the year of Haigen."
Cheers suddenly spread from the conference room, and some even started to applaud.
Tang Zong also had a smile on his face.
The boss is the chairman of the committee.
The boss is fine, and what I mean is that the chairman is fine. Don't think about it, it means that the matter is about to be resolved and the chairman will return soon.
Dai Li took the right risk this time.
A few days ago, the Investigation Section of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sent someone to have a secret meeting with me, hoping that I could go there, but I declined.
He wanted to take a gamble that Dai Li could come back safely.
All in, your future, wealth and life.
Lose and have nothing.
He won!
Just like Dai Li, he won the bet!
Lixingshe is still the same Lixingshe, but Dai Li will not be the same Dai Li.
Tang Zong is no longer the same Tang Zong!
"And a telegram."
When everyone calmed down, Wei Daming looked a little strange: "This telegram is sent to Meng Shaoyuan alone."
What?
There was silence in the conference room for a moment.
Did you hear that wrong?
At such a critical moment, Director Dai actually sent a telegram to Meng Shaoyuan alone?
What is his identity?
Just a team leader.
Last time, Director Dai specially asked Meng Shaoyuan to attend the meeting of department-level cadres before going on an expedition.
This time it’s even more outrageous. Send a separate telegram to Meng Shaoyuan?
Tang Zong knew it well and coughed: "Let Meng Shao come over."
At this time, Meng Shaoyuan had just returned from Shanghai.
Tang Zong was summoned urgently, but he didn't know what was going on.
When he hurriedly entered the venue, he couldn't help but be startled when he heard that Dai Li had a separate telegram for him.
When he got the telegram, he was even more surprised.
On the telegram, there were only these words written:
"Electricity: Meng Shaoyuan."
Then?
Then there was nothing.
It's blank below.
Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while and finally understood.
Dai Li gave himself a great future.
This blank telegram is like a blank check. Just fill it out yourself as much as you need.
Dai Li was telling him: Whatever kind of future you need, fill it yourself!
In the future, Dai Li will be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people!
And in Lixingshe, Meng Shaoyuan will be one person below ten thousand people!
Dai Li made the right bet, and Tang Zong made the right bet.
Only Meng Shaoyuan didn't gamble. He just followed the trend of history and pushed it.
"Call back, Xiao Meng." Tang Zong said very cordially, "While Mr. Wei is here."
Yes, it's time to call back.
Meng Shaoyuan thought for a moment: "Please call Director Dai back... and don't write anything on it."
Tang Zong and Wei Daming glanced at each other. What kind of riddles were Director Dai and Meng Shaoyuan doing?
Meng Shaoyuan knew that Dai Li would understand.
He gave himself a future that he could write on his own, and the telegram he responded to told Dai Li:
Meng Shaoyuan's future will always be written by you, Mr. Dai.
There is never any need to tell the difference between smart people and smart people.
"Then I'll go back like this." Wei Daming muttered and walked out.
"The Chairman is safe and sound, and Director Dai is also safe. This is a blessing for the country and a blessing for the family. Well, Xiao Meng, please find a seat and sit down."
Tang Zong's words confirmed one thing:
Those who can sit in this office are all department-level cadres. So, when Director Dai comes back, Meng Shaoyuan will officially jump into this class.
It's incredible.
Lixingshe promotes the fastest and youngest section-level cadres!
Once you become a department-level cadre in this department, you can't say that you will be extremely powerful. At the very least, you can move around in Nanjing.
However, there is still a small problem:
Who will move?
Here, the positions of each section chief, section chief, deputy section chief, and deputy section chief are fixed. If someone comes up, someone must step down.
Who was the unlucky guy who laid it?
The section chiefs and section chiefs are not worried. Even if Director Dai is biased, he must proceed step by step. Let's first promote Meng Shaoyuan to deputy section chief and deputy section chief.
The real ones to worry about are the deputies.
"Today, good news has come, and we should celebrate. But if the Chairman does not return, we cannot let down our guard." Tang Zong cleared his throat and said:
"Since the incident broke out, there are always people on the streets of Nanjing who are ready to take action. Some people say that these agents of our Lixing Society are arrogant and domineering on weekdays. At the critical moment, why don't they organize a group of people to go to Xi'an to rescue the chairman of the committee? You bastard, say this The person who talks is simply arrogant!"
He is from Hunan, and when he gets angry, he utters all the curse words from his hometown:
“There are also some comrades among us who began to waver when they heard that the Chairman of the Committee was in trouble and that Director Dai was going to die.
Have any of you ever reached out to others? Has anyone reached out to you? I admit, I have. But I refused. My heart was in Lixingshe and I would not go anywhere else. "
Feng Xiaocai, the chief of the General Affairs Department, thought Tang Zong was talking about him, and his face turned blue and white.
Although he and Tang Zong are both department-level cadres, their status is not the same. Dai Li was away, and Tang Zong was in charge of the entire Lixing Society.
"Qi Honghai."
Tang Zong suddenly named his deputy.
"Here." Qi Honghai was startled.
Tang Zong looked at him: "I heard that you had a meal with Miao Yan from the Central Organization Department the day before yesterday?"
"Ah, yes, yes."
Qi Honghai was a little flustered: "Miao Yan used to be my classmate. This time he happened to come to Nanjing and we were all classmates, so I treated him to a meal."
"Hello, classmate. I can help you at the critical moment." Tang Zong said with some words: "But classmate, don't get too close. If you get too close, something may happen."
Cold sweat broke out from Qi Honghai's back.
Miao Yan actually came to him specifically this time to make him rebel. I thought it was a secret, but why did Tang Zong find out so quickly?
Tang Zong had never dealt with him, and Qi Honghai had always been suppressed. After this incident, Qi Honghai thought he had a chance, but he never expected that Dai Li would be safe and sound and was about to return.
"Let me reiterate the discipline." Tang Zong looked sternly: "The more times like this, the more everyone must be united. In our Second Division, you know the discipline. If anyone violates it, you don't have to wait for Director Dai to come back. I, Tang Someone’s gun can also kill people! If you kill someone wrongly or wrongly, take my Tang Zong’s head with it!”
These words were full of murderous intent, and Tang Zong, who usually seemed amiable, suddenly seemed like a different person.
Meng Shaoyuan felt bright in his heart.
That day, after he and Tang Zong got to know each other, Tang Zong had already decided to help him.
And the one who wants to move:
Qi Honghai!
This guy is also an idiot. He has a dirty butt to begin with, and now he is still colluding with people from the Central Organization Department?
Coupled with the evidence he brought back from Shanghai this time, Qi Honghai will be dead this time when Dai Li comes back!
Tang Zong explained a few more words, and then said: "Meng Shaoyuan."
"exist."
"Over at the dock, our anti-smuggling team intercepted a boat bound for Shanghai. I heard that the people on the boat were very aggressive. They seemed to be Ji Yunqing's people, and they were branded with the title of Army Major General. You should go and take a look."
"yes."
Tang Zong suddenly snorted coldly: "Chairman of the Generalissimo, our intelligence work was indeed not done well during Xi'an's disaster. After the Chairman comes back, he will be punished as he should be punished and packed up and fucked off. But before it reaches this point, one by one Don’t you take us Lixingshe people seriously? How dare a small smuggler dare to be so arrogant?”
"Chief Tang, I know what to do."
Meng Shaoyuan replied calmly.
Killing one to serve as a warning to others, even though it was just a small smuggling ship, but with the news that Dai Li was safe, everyone in the Lixing Society breathed a sigh of relief. It was time to kill a chicken to show the monkey:
Lixingshe is still the same Lixingshe!
As long as Dai Li does not fall, Lixing Society will definitely not fall!
