The explanation given by Tang Cheng was not detailed, but it had pointed out the key points. Zhou Guangli was not a smart person, but from Tang Cheng's explanation, he knew the details and reasons for his arrest. Seeing Zhou Guangli's suddenly enlightened look, Tang Cheng, who was laughing secretly in his heart, suppressed his laughter and continued to say seriously, "Do you know why I didn't send someone to torture you?" Tang Cheng's whole question made Zhou Guangli even more speechless, saying in his heart What do you think? How would I know?

"The reason why I didn't send anyone to execute you is not because you are a member of the Central Military Commission, but because you are Chinese like me! If you, the Central Military Commission, have done an investigation on me, you should know that no matter who is in Nanjing, It’s still Chongqing, what I’m dealing with are Japanese and traitors. As long as you’re Chinese, as long as you’re not a traitor or traitor, even if you are the commander-in-chief who comes to assassinate me, I won’t do anything to you, because you are a Chinese!” When Tang Cheng said these words, Zhou Guangli clearly realized the true meaning contained in Tang Cheng's words.

"You don't need to tell me these big things. I won't tell you anything. Just don't waste your time on me." Although he realized that Tang Cheng's words just now didn't sound like he was deceiving himself, Zhou Guangli He didn't appreciate it, he just tried his best to turn his head away from looking at Tang Cheng, and his words clearly showed rejection. If someone else had faced Zhou Guangli's attitude, he might have become furious, but there was no trace of anger on Tang Cheng's face.

"It doesn't matter, I don't expect you to tell me anything!" A smile appeared on Tang Cheng's face. Zhou Guangli looked at Tang Cheng suspiciously. He wanted to know whether Tang Cheng was deliberately deceiving in this way. Own. Unfortunately, Zhou Guangli didn't see anything suspicious in Tang Cheng's expression. Could it be that what he said was true? Zhou Guangli became even more suspicious, but no matter how hard he stared at Tang Cheng, he didn't see anything different in Tang Cheng's expression.

"Ever since I found out that you were sent to Chongqing by the Central Government, I had no intention of doing anything to you. I invited you here because I just wanted to have a chat with you!" Tang Cheng took out the cigarette and offered it to you. He bought a cigarette for Zhou Guangli and helped Zhou Guangli light the cigarette. "I had some conflicts with you, the Central Unification Committee. I estimate that the Central Unification Headquarters sent you to Chongqing to cause trouble for me. The people behind this incident should be the same people I offended in the first place."

Zhou Guangli, who was smoking with his head down, choked because of Tang Cheng's words. He did not expect that Tang Cheng's attitude towards Zhongtong would be so indifferent. "The higher-ups of the Central Unification Committee sent you to Chongqing to deal with me. They should have conducted some investigations on me. I don't know how many investigation results they have told you, but I believe that what you saw and what they told you are not comprehensive." Tang Cheng also lit a cigarette for himself, hoping to have a good chat with Zhou Guangli.

"My father is an old man from the intelligence service. He died for his country in an operation to hunt down Japanese spies. The Kuomintang gave my family a medal, so I am a descendant of martyrs." Tang Cheng's voice sounded very gentle to Zhou Guangli's ears. inside, but not peaceful. "Later, in order to take care of my family, I dropped out of school and became a policeman. By chance, I learned the inside story of my father's death from an uncle. Therefore, I hated the Japanese spies and all the Japanese who did evil in this land. "

"The salary of the police is too small, and my family has a large population. If I don't want to find other ways to make money, my family will have to rely on pawning our property. With the help of my father's uncles in the intelligence agency, I reached an agreement with the intelligence agency. An agreement, I will provide them with clues about the Japanese spies in the city in exchange for varying amounts of bonuses." Zhou Guangli had read everything Tang Cheng said in the investigation report, but not as carefully as Tang Cheng said.

"Perhaps because of the training I received from my father, my favorite thing is to find valuable information from clues and information that ordinary people think are inconspicuous. Besides, I still have a police identity, and some things need to be investigated. The police are far more convenient than the operators of the Intelligence Department to provide clues, so during my time at the Nanjing Police Station, I helped the Intelligence Department catch many Japanese spies lurking in Nanjing city."

"During that time, someone at the Intelligence Division headquarters wanted to recruit me to join them, but because of my mother's obstruction and the opposition of several uncles, I only maintained a cooperative relationship with the Intelligence Division instead of joining them. It was during that period Around that time, I had my first conflict with the Zhongtong. The reason was that a senior police officer took a fancy to my mother and tried to use his power to threaten my family. Of course, this matter was not easy to solve, so I had no choice but to work in the Intelligence Department. I asked my uncles to help, but in the end, your Zhongtong intervened."

Of course, Zhou Guangli did not see what Tang Cheng was talking about in that investigation report, but Zhou Guangli would not believe Tang Cheng easily. Tang Cheng didn't care whether Zhou Guangli responded, he just continued speaking, and his tone remained steady. "I was very angry at the time, so I had a conflict with your people from the Central Government, and my uncles from the Intelligence Department helped to resolve it afterwards. Only afterwards did I know that the people who dared to love you from the Central Government came forward, not for the deputy police chief. He came out because of the grudge battle between the central commander and the military commander."

"My Tang family is just a small role. I was just a small policeman trying to support my family at the time. I didn't want to get involved in the grudge battle between the Central Government and the Military Commander. I was thinking that since the Intelligence Department had come forward, this matter Even if it’s over. I didn’t expect that you people from the Central Unification Committee were still unwilling to let go, and then there was another conflict at the Nanjing Establishment. I heard that the conflict eventually went to the chairman of the committee.”

When he said this, a look of helplessness appeared on Tang Cheng's face, he spread his hands towards Zhou Guangli and spoke full of grievances. "I was just a small role, a low-ranking policeman. I couldn't afford to offend you, the Central Military Commission, or the Intelligence Department at that time. So I had no choice but to leave Nanjing, and ended up following an uncle who was transferred to Chongqing to come to Chongqing. Here, I just didn’t expect that I have already hid in Chongqing, but you, the Central Military Commission, still refuse to let go of this little role like me!”

Tang Cheng said so much in one breath. What he told Zhou Guangli was naturally what he wanted to say. As for his two trips to Shanghai, Tang Cheng did not say anything. Tang Cheng didn't know if Zhongtong knew about his two trips to Shanghai, but even if Zhou Guangli asked him about Shanghai at this moment, Tang Cheng would not admit it. After all, it already involved the secret mission of the military commander. If Tang Cheng told Zhou Guangli, it would inevitably cause even greater trouble.

The content of Tang Cheng's topic jumped directly from Nanjing to Chongqing. Zhou Guangli, who had been silent for a long time, finally reacted. Although Zhou Guangli controlled it very well, Tang Cheng still saw something strange from Zhou Guangli's thickening breathing. "You've told me so much, I only have one question now. What are you going to do to me?" Zhou Guangli, who looked calm, finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and finally spoke.

It was a good sign that the other party took the initiative to speak. Tang Cheng crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray and answered Zhou Guangli's question. "I've told you before, I won't do anything to you. I asked you to come here. I just want to have a chat with you." Tang Cheng spread his hands towards Zhou Guangli again and smiled sincerely. "Look, I didn't tie you up with ropes, or cuff your hands and feet with handcuffs. You are completely a free person. This already expresses my attitude!"

"Then what do you want to talk to me about?" Zhou Guangli frowned when he heard this. "I am just a small role in the Central Unification Committee. I was sent to Chongqing because I offended people at the Central Unification Headquarters. If you want to know about the Central Unification Committee, , I think I may not be able to help you, because I am just a bench worker at the Central Unification Headquarters." This was the most talkative Zhou Guangli had after entering Tang Cheng's office. Tang Cheng just shook his head after hearing this.

"You are too cautious!" Tang Cheng shook his head and chuckled, "And I don't think you are a small role in the Central Unification Headquarters! I'm afraid you won't believe this yourself, so don't use it to fool me!" Zhou Guangli, who was sitting face to face with Tang Cheng, was definitely not possessed by an ordinary person, whether it was his composure before being arrested or the magnanimity when he spoke at this moment. What's more, Tang Cheng had already learned about Zhou Guangli's assassination using system skills. strong ability.

"I asked you to come here. On the one hand, it was just for a chat. On the other hand, I wanted to entrust you to go back and tell those people at the Zhongtong headquarters. I, Tangcheng, have no intention of becoming an enemy of your Zhongtong headquarters. Forget it this time, but if you If the Central Commander-in-Chief still treats me as an enemy, then I have no choice but to risk my life to become an enemy of your Central Commander-in-Chief. In the worst case, I will go against my mother’s wishes and join the military commander-in-chief. I don’t think that no matter how domineering your Central Commander-in-Chief is, you will not dare to attack the military commander-in-chief. Kill them all, right?"

Tang Cheng's last resort is to join the military command. Once he joins the military command, it will be difficult for the central government to continue targeting Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng's plan to fight to the end with Zhongtong was naturally made up by him, but Zhou Guangli did not see through it. If Tang Cheng and Zhou Guangli had swapped their identities, and Zhou Guangli was facing the persecution of the Central Military Commission, he felt that he would have the same idea as Tang Cheng. Only by clinging to the military commander's thigh could he save himself and his family.

It's always better to have someone to back you up than to fight alone, not to mention that Jun Tong's thigh looks very strong. Before leaving the Zhongtong Headquarters, Zhou Guangli heard about the recent intelligence battle between the Juntong and the Zhongtong. During this period, the Juntong had been firmly in control of the Zhongtong. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhou Guangli's expression relax, and Tang Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he had a choice, he didn't want to get into trouble with Zhongtong.
