Seeing that the other party had left, Tang Cheng stopped worrying about the matter, but he still chose to inform Zhang Jianghe about the plainclothes Zhongtong following him. When Zhang Jianghe learned about this, he called the bureau chief without any delay. The bureau chief who received the call was also very puzzled. The last time Zhongtong came to him for help, he personally stated that the matter between them and Tang Cheng would not be mentioned again. It was precisely because of Zhongtong's guarantee that he agreed to Tang Cheng to help Zhongtong. Only a few days later, was Zhongtong about to fall out?
The bureau chief who didn't answer the call immediately called the Central Unification Headquarters. The senior executive on the other end of the phone was also confused because he didn't know what the bureau chief was talking about now. "You'd better ask clearly. That boy in Tangcheng doesn't have a very good temper. If you really piss him off, I guess you'll be in big trouble!" The director made no secret of his disapproval in his complaining words. The senior officials on the other end of the phone were angry at the threat from the President, but they still spoke kindly to the bureau chief.
The bureau representative who personally called him ignored the matter after hanging up the phone. He believed that after the Zhongtong investigation, he would definitely give him an explanation. Following Tang Cheng was a temporary decision made by those plainclothes officers. They originally just wanted to find a target for blackmail, but they didn't want to target Tang Cheng. After some investigation, Zhongtong could only come up with a ridiculous reason. They had already investigated Tang Cheng's preferences, so they could only reluctantly send a set of Ming Dynasty red sandalwood furniture to the Tang family as an apology.
Zhongtong is really rich! Tang Cheng couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he learned that the red sandalwood furniture sent to his home by Zhongtong were all royal utensils that had come out of the Peking Palace. Zhongtong sent a heavy gift, which showed that the previous tracking of him was definitely not the intention of the senior officials of Zhongtong. Tang Cheng, who had been making wild guesses in his mind before, finally felt relieved and went to the backyard of Buzhuang again that night. Because of one incident after another in Zhongtong, the city of Chongqing seems to be a bit messy now. If it were anyone else, they should hide their whereabouts at this time.
But Tangcheng did the opposite. Instead of giving up, it gave the Chongqing underground party organization an idea, asking them to mobilize manpower to intercept a batch of supplies smuggled by the Central Command from Tianjin. The Chongqing underground party organization had already seconded a group of operatives from the southern Sichuan guerrillas, especially since the base area was currently short of supplies. Now with the information provided by Tangcheng, the senior officials of the Chongqing underground party organization immediately agreed.
The next night, a large amount of supplies smuggled by the Central Government from Tianjin were hijacked by underground party operatives holding the Central Government's fake documents, including the boat and people, just as they docked at the dock. The disappearance of a large number of people, including those who delivered the goods and the Zhongtong personnel who came to pick up the goods at the pier, made the senior officials of Zhongtong furious, but they had no clues or information at hand. The Central Commander, who suffered heavy losses, immediately controlled the news, but the well-informed Paoge forces on the dock still knew the inside information of the matter.
However, in just half an hour, the news had already spread in the city. After the bureau chief learned of the matter, he immediately sent people to quietly investigate Tang Cheng's whereabouts. However, at this time, Tang Cheng was leading people in the east of the city to track a new target, and Tang Cheng's actions today had already been reported to Zhang Jianghe, who was in charge of the military camp. Tang Cheng's actions during this period can completely withstand investigation. After all, his whereabouts every day can be reflected in the action report.
The investigation into Tangcheng was stopped after he found no loopholes in the situation, but he still vaguely felt that the frequent incidents in Zhongtong during this period should be related to Tangcheng. Unfortunately, this was just his suspicion. The investigation results showed that Tang Cheng had neither the time nor the sufficient conditions to take advantage of Zhongtong. After returning to the military camp in Tangcheng later, after learning the news from Zhang Jianghe, he deliberately pretended to be surprised and even said he was delighted.
Tangcheng had conflicts with Zhongtong as early as when it was in Nanjing. After moving south to Chongqing, the friction between the two sides never stopped. Therefore, after learning that something had happened to Zhongtong again, it was only normal for Tangcheng to have such a reaction. Zhang Jianghe has been paying attention to Tang Cheng's reaction. At this moment, seeing the shock and gloating on Tang Cheng's face, Zhang Jianghe, who did not see the flaw, could only chew his teeth secretly and wonder in his heart who was dealing with him. Zhongtong.
That night, Zhang Jianghe burst into laughter when he learned from the tavern owner that the person who robbed the cargo ship on the dock was an underground party organization in Chongqing. Because of this batch of missing materials, the city of Chongqing was completely in trouble. The extremely vicious top officials of the Central Unification Committee dispatched a large number of plainclothes agents to launch a so-called large-scale manhunt in the city. This time, Tang Cheng did not agree to help Zhongtong. Even if the bureau chief called to lobby, Tang Cheng still did not agree.
"Bureau chief, I really have a case here, it's definitely not an excuse!" Tang Cheng, who had already thought of a countermeasure, looked confident when faced with the bureau chief's questions on the phone. "What we are targeting this time is a deputy director of the Transportation Department. Strictly speaking, we are not targeting him, but his nanny." The situation that Tang Cheng has now informed the bureau boss is not enough. He didn't add anything, but he didn't tell the bureau chief. He already knew the identity of the nanny.
The Transport Department, which has only been established for a short period of time, is a very lucrative department. Many second-generation people with family connections want to work in the Transport Department. How could the bureau chief not know the special nature of the Transport Department. At this moment, I heard from Tang Cheng that the target of the search team this time was a deputy director of the Transportation Department, and the director immediately became interested. Faced with repeated questioning from the bureau chief, Tang Cheng knew in his heart that the bureau chief wanted to use this case to extend General Tong's tentacles into the Transportation Department.
"We have been tracking the target for more than three days and have not found any obvious flaws yet. However, through our analysis of the target's daily movement trajectory, the target should have other accomplices in the city." Tang Cheng introduced the situation on the phone, which made the phone call The bureau chief on the other end was very excited. If it weren't for Tang Cheng's repeated refusal, the bureau chief might have notified the Second Division to send people to the military camp to assist the search team in investigating this case.
"We don't have many clues at hand. When there is a breakthrough in the case, even if you don't tell the Bureau, I will take the initiative to seek help from the Second Bureau!" Compared with Tang Cheng's persistence, Zhang Jianghe He seemed much smoother when he spoke. Zhang Jianghe grabbed the phone and said only a few words, which made the bureau chief chuckle. However, before hanging up the phone, the bureau chief reminded Zhang Jianghe to maintain contact with the military command headquarters.
"I know you are not happy to deal with people from the second office, but that's the bureau chief. Can you think twice before talking to the bureau chief in the future?" After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jianghe's expression looked a little gloomy, giving him a lesson. Tang Cheng's tone also seemed a bit irritable. When Tang Cheng heard this, he just smiled faintly, then lay down on the sofa, lazily lit a cigarette for himself and started smoking. Tang Cheng's reaction made Zhang Jianghe even more angry, so he immediately gave Tang Cheng a look.
After Zhang Jiang and Kazuya sat down, Tang Cheng finally spoke, "I didn't say anything just now! Isn't that just a quick chat to catch up? I just refused the bureau chief's intention to ask the Second Office to come over and help. , is this too much?" Tang Cheng's funny and aggrieved words made Zhang Jianghe angry again, and he immediately grabbed the cigarette case in front of him and threw it at Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng smiled and dodged the cigarette case that Zhang Jianghe threw at him, then took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Jianghe.
"The batch of supplies that Zhongtong came from Tianjin was robbed. I asked someone to investigate secretly. What happened to you? The person I asked said that maybe it was someone from the underground party who did it, because the batch of supplies from Zhongtong arrived When we arrived at the dock, it was already early in the morning, and only people from Zhongtong were on the dock at that time. In that case, those who robbed that batch of materials could only be Zhongtong’s enemies, and the underground party is not the old opponent of Zhongtong. Well!" Zhang Jianghe's eyebrows jumped when he heard Tang Cheng's words.
Zhang Jianghe, who wanted to hide his expression, subconsciously opened the note that Tang Cheng threw over, and saw several names written on it. Seeing Zhang Jianghe looking at him with confusion, Tang Cheng explained, "These names on the note are all guys who have been making a living on the dock all year round. Don't look down on them, but on the dock Very few things that happen are not known to them. If the Central Commander finds a few of them, perhaps the whereabouts of that batch of materials will be found by the Central Commander."
Zhang Jianghe didn't understand just now why Tang Cheng gave him the names of these people, and he still had the patience to explain to himself. He already knew that the batch of supplies from Zhongtong had been robbed by Chongqing's underground party organization. It was only when he heard Tang Cheng's last words that he realized the truth. At this moment, Zhang Jianghe did not realize that Tang Cheng mentioned this matter deliberately, or even named those people deliberately.
Zhang Jianghe's reaction was not slow. He knew that he should not leave the military camp at this time, so he arranged for his adjutant to go into the city to buy braised food for himself, and took the note from Tang Cheng to Xiao Tavern. That afternoon, the few people who appeared on the note suddenly disappeared without a trace. Even people who were familiar with them didn't know where these guys had gone.
Facts have proved that Tangcheng's reminder was very timely. The Zhongtong operatives who had never given up on tracing the batch of materials returned to the dock to investigate without other methods or clues. Many people in the rivers and lakes who have been making a living on the dock have also been questioned and investigated by the Zhongtong using various means, but unfortunately, nothing has been investigated by the Zhongtong.
