"You understand now! This involves not only the Central Command, but also the internal affairs of the Intelligence Department. You kid should be smarter in the future. Don't always feel that you have the support of the director, and dare to reach out for anything. Before you do anything in the future, It's better to think about it first!" After sending Cao Wanchun and Xie Chunlan away, Zhang Jianghe called Tang Cheng to the study. At this moment, Tang Cheng was already speechless, thinking that this is not an intelligence agency, this is completely What a palace fight!
Early the next morning, Zhang Jianghe took Zhou Hongzhuang to the Intelligence Agency compound, while Tang Cheng was left in the old house to look after the family. After nearly two hours, Zhang Jianghe came back with a dark face. Seeing this, Tang Cheng did not dare to touch Zhang Jianghe's fault, so he quietly asked Zhou Hongzhuang, but the answer Zhou Hongzhuang gave made Tang Cheng difficult for a moment. react to. "My godfather brought back a file. I eavesdropped on him talking to the man named Cao in the building. It should be some new task given by the director."
Zhou Hongzhuang's words made Tang Cheng confused. If the file Zhang Jianghe brought back was related to the new task, according to Zhang Jianghe's temper, he should have thrown it directly to him. But why did Zhang Jianghe leave him alone? Locked in the study? Is it because of the content of this new mission? Tang Cheng seemed to realize something, and after signaling Zhou Hongzhuang to stay in the living room, Tang Cheng gently knocked on the study door.
Zhang Jianghe came back with a dark face, naturally because of the dossier in his hand. Through Cao Wanchun, Zhang Jianghe already knew that there was a mess at Beiping Station. At this time, Tangcheng was asked to go to Peiping to carry out this assassination mission. It was simply not taking Tangcheng's money. Take this life seriously! Assassination is not a simple matter of sneaking in, approaching the target, and shooting to end the mission. The personnel performing the assassination mission must also have intelligence and material support. Especially after the operation is over, someone needs to assist in leaving safely.
The Peiping Station side is already too busy to take care of themselves, and there will be no spare energy to assist Tang Cheng in completing this assassination mission. Even if Tang Cheng can complete the assassination independently, if there is no one to assist him, he will not be able to escape the pursuit and encirclement of his opponents after the operation. The knock on the door woke Zhang Jianghe from his thoughts, and he sighed secretly. Zhang Jianghe put the file in his hand on the table. When Tang Cheng came in, he saw the file on the table at first sight.
"Hongzhuang may have told you! This is the file. You read it first. After you have read it, we will talk about it." Zhang Jianghe tried his best to make his expression look more natural, but Tangcheng still kept it from his usual expression. There was something strange in his tone. After flipping through the file on the table, Tang Cheng had basically figured out the contents of the file. Similar to what Zhou Hongzhuang said before, the information recorded in the dossier was about a man named Tan Weiguang. On the second page of the dossier, the action plan clearly stated the word "assassination".
"Now you understand! This is the new mission assigned by above, an assassination operation, and the target is this man named Tan Weiguang. On the surface, Tan Weiguang is a businessman, but secretly he has been connected with the Japanese. According to the news from Peking Station, This Tan Weiguang has been in frequent contact with the Japanese recently and seems to be preparing to sell a batch of antique calligraphy and paintings to the Japanese. It is said that some of this batch of antique calligraphy and paintings come from the palace. The director's request is to assassinate this Tan Weiguang. If there is a chance, It would be best to bring these palace belongings back to Nanjing."
Zhang Jianghe's last sentence reminded Tangcheng that it was mentioned in later documentaries that the director loved collecting all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings, especially things from the palace. "Uncle, you just went to assassinate a traitor and scum! I thought it was such a big deal!" Tang Cheng deliberately pretended to be disapproving, "Have you forgotten what I did in Shanghai? Like that in Hongkou District I can come and go freely anywhere, and besides, Peiping is still our territory now, so your worries are unnecessary."
Zhang Jianghe's worry did not dissipate completely because of Tang Cheng's words, but Tang Chao's words reminded him that when Tang Cheng was in Shanghai, he often went to Hongkou District to torment the Japanese. Compared with Hongkou District , Peiping is indeed not considered dangerous. "But there are a lot of bad things going on at Beiping Station. They have too much time to take care of themselves now. How can they have any spare power to assist you in your actions? And once you start taking action, how to evacuate quickly is the key to your life."
Seeing that Tang Cheng didn't seem to understand what he meant, Zhang Jianghe lowered his voice out of habit and spoke to Tang Cheng. "The Director does not want more people to know about this assassination operation. If you are caught in Peking, the Intelligence Department will never come forward to protect you. So you can only go to Peking alone this time. If you have the chance, To take away those things, we can only hide them on the spot in Peiping and then take the hiding place back to Nanjing."
I bet this is a black operation that will not be officially recognized! Zhang Jianghe has made his meaning so clear, how could Tangcheng still not understand. Tang Cheng's expression gradually stiffened with his mood. This kind of black operation that cannot be seen in the light often has subsequent consequences. The planner may think of killing people to silence the inside story to prevent the spread of the inside story, while the executor may incur unnecessary consequences because he knows too much inside information. Endless pursuit. Tang Cheng, who had watched too many movies and TV series, had already thought of the worst plan at this time, but he also knew that he simply could not refuse this task.
However, Tang Cheng did not only think of the worst outcome. According to the way the director had always taken care of him, Tang Cheng did not think that the other party would silence him. After thinking secretly for a while, Tang Cheng thought that this assassination operation was just a restrictive measure against him by the director. The director hoped that he would continue to stay at the Nanjing headquarters. Tang Cheng knew this clearly, but after returning from Shanghai After that, I have been tossing about Zhang Jiang and his transfer to Chongqing.
Could it be because of this that he annoyed the director? So that person gave himself this assassination mission just to force himself to bow his head, and then agreed to transfer Zhang Jiang and go south to Chongqing, so that he could stay at the Nanjing headquarters to serve. Tang Cheng felt that he had found the answer to the problem, but the purpose of all the trouble he had put in was to take his family and friends south to Chongqing and escape the upcoming chaos! What's the point of staying in Nanjing?
Naturally, Tang Cheng would not stay in Nanjing, so at this moment he immediately made a choice, "Uncle, don't worry, I will take this job." Tang Cheng's decision shocked Zhang Jianghe, but Tang Cheng did not agree at all. Give him a chance to speak and continue. "Uncle, this matter has been settled. I just went to kill a traitor. It is more convenient for me to do it by myself. The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better. If the people at Peking Station can do it, the director will not do it." I will take care of this matter."
Tang Cheng's attitude was very tough. No matter how Zhang Jianghe tried to persuade him, Tang Cheng just refused to bow. In order to make Zhang Jianghe give up his persuasion, Tang Cheng also called Cao Wanchun and asked Cao Wanchun to tell the director that he had accepted the task. . "You bastard, I just told you yesterday to think twice before doing something! This Tan Weiguang is not simple. Not only is he a military cadet studying in Japan, but he is also surrounded by several bodyguards all year round, all of whom are people with extraordinary skills. "
What Zhang Jianghe said at this moment is recorded in this file, and there are even photos of Tan Weiguang and his bodyguards in the file. Tang Cheng looked through the photos in the file, and then sneered with disdain, "It's good to have bodyguards! Then just kill them together. It's not a difficult task!" Tang Cheng's words were full of disdain and indifference. Zhang Jianghe, who had never seen Tang Cheng's actual combat skills with his own eyes, was still worried.
Tang Cheng did not refuse this assassination mission, which Cao Wanchun never expected, but the director of the department who learned the news acted somewhat calmly. "Tangcheng is different from you!" The answer given by the director made Cao Wanchun confused. "Tang Cheng, like his father, is responsible. He should have understood what I meant, so he accepted this task without hesitation. Besides, I don't doubt his ability."
Cao Wanchun, who had been thinking about it all morning but couldn't think of an answer, rushed to the Zhang family's old house to seek the answer during lunch. "Uncle Cao, don't ask so many questions. In short, I have taken over this job. If you are always feeling uncomfortable, just book a train ticket for me. I plan to leave for Peking as soon as possible." Tang Cheng didn't explain much to Cao Wanchun, and was even very interested in asking how Xie Chunlan's matter was resolved.
"What happened to her was nothing at all. The Zhongtong side said that they had found the wrong person, and they also sent a hundred yuan to Xie Chunlan to apologize. The director had no intention of really making a big deal out of it." Cao Wanchun said this. At that time, Tang Cheng deliberately stared into his eyes. Seeing that Cao Wanchun showed no signs of hypocrisy, Tang Cheng did not continue to ask. Unable to find the answer from Tangcheng, Cao Wanchun entangled Zhang Jianghe again, but Zhang Jianghe took the opportunity to scold him and had to leave the Zhang family's old house in anger.
Zhang Jianghe, who scolded Cao Wanchun and wanted to persuade Tang Cheng to change his decision, called Tang Cheng into the study again. "Beiping is big or small. You have never been to Peiping. If you go to Peking if you are not familiar with the terrain, it will be much more difficult to move." Zhang Jianghe obviously changed his strategy this time. He did not directly persuade Tangcheng. Give up this assassination operation, but first talk about the difficulties involved. One of them is that Tang Cheng has never been to Peiping.
Tang Cheng was secretly laughing in his heart at this moment. How could he, who was born in Beijing in the future, not be familiar with the city of Beijing? Although the layout of Beiping City in the Republic of China and Beijing City in later generations are very different, it is not as if Tangcheng in this era went to Beiping City, and there would be low-level mistakes regardless of direction. As long as he could clearly identify the direction, Tang Cheng would have enough confidence that he would not get lost in the city of Beiping in this era.
