Tang Cheng's lack of intervention made Lao Fu and the others' private connections become even more unscrupulous. Zhao Dashan, who did not want to cooperate with them, had reported the matter privately to Tang Cheng more than once, but Tang Cheng still reacted indifferently and only transferred Zhao Dashan and some players who rejected Lao Fu and the others to form a separate team. , arrange for them to go to the south of the city to monitor the newly discovered target. As for Lao Fu and the others, before the Attendant's Office made a clear statement, Tangcheng still arranged them outside the South Bank Villa.
Time seemed to pass very quickly, and soon half a month passed. No one in the city mentioned the attack on the Chairman's wife. Anyway, everyone knew that the attacker had been caught. However, the defense force of the South Bank Villa has not been reduced. Judging from the attitude of the bureau, there is no intention to transfer the action team away from here. The only good news is that Zhao Dashan has found a new target through surveillance, and Tang Cheng used this to leave the South Bank Villa.
When Tang Cheng left Nan'an Villa, the happiest person was Lao Fu. Because Tang Cheng left, all the personnel of the action team outside Nan'an Villa were temporarily under his on-site command. Lao Fu is a smart man. He has already seen that Tang Cheng does not agree with his plan, but he does not stop him, so Lao Fu still maintains his previous respect for Tang Cheng. But Tang Cheng didn't care about this, let alone Lao Fu's attitude towards him. He just wanted to stay away from these troubles.
Zhao Dashan's new discovery finally gave Tang Cheng an excuse, so Tang Cheng, who had already reunited with Zhao Dashan and the others, did not plan to arrest anyone immediately. After reading the surveillance records and listening to Zhao Dashan's personal report, Tang Cheng immediately began to assign tasks according to his own ideas. "The target that I asked you to monitor and track before should be a fish that slipped through the net of a certain Japanese and puppet intelligence team. He has never left Chongqing. Either he received an order from his superiors to continue to lurk, or he is waiting for the arrival of his companions!"
"Based on what we know so far, I am more inclined to the latter possibility, that is, this person's superiors should want to restore the intelligence team to which he belongs! In other words, he is waiting for his companions to appear, and only has enough manpower. Only by using it can the intelligence team he belongs to have the possibility of recovery." What Tang Cheng is saying now is not his nonsense, and it is his judgment based on the target's activity trajectory today. The target who has been monitored for many days has been uncharacteristically visiting many places since the morning.
The target had never been to these places before today, so this was very abnormal and worthy of Tang Cheng's suspicion. Tangcheng exaggerated the importance of the target to a certain extent according to his own ideas. After receiving the report, the bureau immediately made the decision to let Tangcheng take a long-term approach to catch the big fish. For such an important action, Tang Cheng naturally had to take action personally, so he successfully got himself out of the trouble at the South Bank Villa. No one, including the bureau chief, had seen through Tang Cheng's true intentions, and Tang Cheng himself maintained his usual attitude towards doing things.
Once Tang Cheng concentrated on his work, he no longer paid attention to other trivial matters from the outside world. However, he quickly applied to the bureau, hoping to temporarily second some personnel from the military command headquarters. Half of the action team's manpower was assigned to serve as defense outside the South Bank Villa. It was difficult for the remaining manpower to complete long-term surveillance and tracking of all suspicious targets. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Tangcheng’s application, and the Bureau has no reason to reject it. But what the bureau chief didn't know was that Tangcheng's application not only required manual cooperation, but most importantly, Tangcheng needed military commanders to act as witnesses for it.
His decision was the result of discussions with Hans, because from now on, Tangcheng needs to be wary of Lao Fu and those people. Lao Fu is an ambitious man. He wants to climb up. It is no use just hanging around the South Bank Villa. If someone comes forward to seduce Lao Fu at this time, God knows whether he will betray Tangcheng for his own future. Although Tangcheng insisted that he had no handle on Lao Fu, Lao Fu was also an insider of the last time the joint garrison regiment snatched military aid supplies from the Central Government.
Although Tang Cheng did not agree with Hans' suspicion, he had to take necessary precautions. If the situation was as Hans suspected, Tang Cheng could only use the last resort to make Lao Fu unable to speak again. The surveillance operation went very smoothly. In just three days, Tangcheng and the others successively targeted multiple targets, one of whom was a member of the government. Almost every day, the bureau chief receives a written report from Tang Cheng. The content of the report allows the bureau chief to clearly understand the progress of Tang Cheng's actions.
The bureau chief has never doubted Tang Cheng's ability to do things, but these written reports gave him a more intuitive understanding of Tang Cheng's ability to do things. Just when the bureau chief was about to order the arrest, Tang Cheng suddenly went to Jiangbei. The bureau chief got the explanation that Tang Cheng went to Jiangbei to verify a clue that might be related to a target they were monitoring. The director will not interfere with specific actions, especially his trust in Tangcheng has never diminished.
But the bureau chief didn't know that Tang Cheng went to Jiangbei not to verify clues, but to find alibi for himself. Tangcheng arranged for the team members to monitor Lao Fu and reported that Lao Fu was secretly in contact with the people of Zhongtong. Although he did not know what purpose Lao Fu had in contacting the people of Zhongtong. But Tang Cheng knew that he had to take immediate action against Lao Fu, otherwise the secret about Zhongtong's batch of military aid supplies might be exposed. Therefore, Tang Cheng made an excuse to go to Jiangbei, but after dark, he quietly returned to the city.
It was not Tangcheng's own business to shut up Lao Fu. The garrison, which was also involved in intercepting Zhongtong's military aid supplies, also sent people to assist Tangcheng. Therefore, when Tang Cheng returned to the city, a garrison team immediately came to meet Tang Cheng. "Captain Tang, our people have been staring at that rotten-headed guy. A quarter of an hour ago, our people saw him and two people from Zhongtong going to Taihe Restaurant." The person from the garrison group who came to meet Tang Cheng was Deputy Commander Huang's brother-in-law is also one of the agents of the garrison in the Chongqing black market.
"Taihe Restaurant?" The place the other party mentioned is not unfamiliar to Tangcheng, because this Taihe Restaurant is basically Zhongtong's property. Lao Fu followed Zhongtong's people to Taihe Restaurant. It seemed that he was really ready to betray himself! Tang Cheng didn't know whether he should be happy or sad at this time. He still couldn't figure out why Lao Fu suddenly became like this! Even if you want to climb up, you should rely on the military commander. What is it like to follow the central commander?
With confusion in his heart, Tang Cheng quickly rushed to Taihe Restaurant. The people from the garrison team who stayed here said that Lao Fu and the others were still in the private room on the second floor of the restaurant. Tang Cheng, who was standing on the street, raised his head and glanced at the window with the light shining through, and immediately asked the guards to leave. He walked along the street alone, first observing the situation outside the restaurant. Everything was normal outside the restaurant. Tang Cheng used system skills to scan and found no plainclothes Zhongtong personnel.
After confirming that there is no danger outside the restaurant, the next step is how to sneak into the restaurant without being discovered. When Tang Cheng left Jiangbei, he not only changed his clothes, but also put on a facial disguise. If you weren't familiar with Tang Cheng, you would never recognize Tang Cheng now. In line with the principle of doing things carefully, Tang Cheng did not plan to enter through the door of the restaurant. Taihe Restaurant only has three floors, and Tang Cheng could completely launch operations from the top of the building. But just as Tang Cheng threw his flying claw upward, he suddenly discovered that someone seemed to be coming from the shadow in front.
Tang Cheng, who was in the back alley of the restaurant, could not escape. He could only activate his light body skill and climb up quickly along the thin rope under the flying claws. There were three people coming from the other end of the back alley. Tang Cheng, whose body was hanging in the air, vaguely remembered the person walking in the front. He should be a member of the Chongqing underground party organization. Why do Chongqing underground party members appear here? With doubts in his mind, Tang Cheng quickly climbed up to the roof of the restaurant.
Although Tang Cheng had a good ear, he had already climbed up to the roof of the restaurant, and he could not hear clearly the three people talking in low voices in the back alley. However, this did not prevent Tang Cheng on the roof from temporarily stopping his actions. He felt that the three underground party members who appeared in the back alley were definitely not here to hang out. Tang Cheng watched helplessly as the three underground party members walked out of the back alley and entered the main entrance of the restaurant. Not long after, he heard gunshots and shouts coming from the restaurant.
Tang Cheng was startled when he heard the gunfire, and then felt happy again, thinking that these three underground party guys showed up in time. Tang Cheng's heart moved, and he immediately changed his plan. He did not rappel from the roof into the private room on the second floor of the restaurant, but quickly rappelled back to the back alley of the restaurant. When Tang Cheng appeared from the back alley of the restaurant, he happened to see the guests rushing out of the restaurant.
Among these panic-looking diners, Tang Cheng saw Lao Fu at a glance, but Tang Cheng did not see the two Zhongtong people who entered the restaurant with him. Lao Fu, who had just come out of the restaurant, did not notice Tang Cheng. He reached out and pushed away the two diners approaching him. When he walked to the street, Lao Fu just wanted to turn around and look at Taihe Restaurant. Tang Cheng, who had been standing on the side of the street, quickly came over, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Lao Fu's neck with his left arm.
Tang Cheng didn't give Lao Fu time to react. After holding Lao Fu's neck with his left arm, he used the thumb and index finger of his right hand to pinch the back of Lao Fu's neck. Lao Fu, who smelled faintly of alcohol, fell into coma without saying a word, and was carried by Tang Cheng into the back alley of the restaurant. In such a panic, no one would deliberately notice Lao Fu, who looked like a drunkard. As a result, from that night on, no one saw Lao Fu again. The two Central Plains plainclothes officers who had dinner with Lao Fu at the Taihe Restaurant had already died in the retaliatory action of the Chongqing underground party.
