The case itself was not difficult. Guo Yi knew that the reason why this case was "troublesome" and was specially entrusted to him to handle was that it involved "seniors".
Li Mo was fine, but Li Huamei had to be saved - unless she committed suicide. But as of now, she is not stupid.
In fact, it was Li Siya. If she had not been involved in the murder case in Kaohsiung, there would be no need for the Senate to treat her as an "enemy". As for the kidnapping of Mr. Wen, to be honest, Mr. Wen doesn't care about it now.
In fact, if she defectes now, there is a high probability that the Senate will forgive her. After all, such a knowledgeable, smart and capable woman is rare in this time and space.
He personally agreed with Zhou Botao's judgment and some thoughts at that time: he was looking for opportunities to provoke conflicts between the two Lis and promote the expansion of the rift between them. Finally, "reverse use" was achieved.
But how to provoke the relationship between them and what kind of opportunities to look for to start, we still have to think about it. Li Siya is a very smart woman, and Li Huamei is not a muscular woman.
The headquarters of the Political Security Bureau is still located in the old county town of Lingao. Its scale is not large, and its appearance is very low-key. Not only is the entrance simple, there are no sentries standing guard outside the door. The wooden gate is closed all year round and is only opened when vehicles come in and out. People enter and exit through a small door next to it.
There isn't even a wooden sign for the agency hanging on the door, only a simple house number. In Lingao, the county branch of the Political Security Bureau located in Bairencheng is the only government agency in Lingao that has the official sign. It is basically the only external window channel in the local area.
Xu Yanliang's arrival had been notified to the Political Security Bureau through the General Security Bureau, so as soon as he reported his name, the door opened immediately. After the guard verified his "work contact list", he motioned to him, "Please come with me."
It was the first time that Xu Yanliang came back to this institution that was full of mystery and was scolded by the elders. As soon as he entered, he couldn't help but look around. The courtyard in between is unremarkable. The main office building is just a two-story red brick building with rows of bungalows on both sides. The yard is paved with bricks and there are two flower beds with flowers.
Judging from the appearance, it looks like an old county government office in the 1970s.
The doors and windows here are closed, and the yard is very quiet. But if you listen carefully, you can hear the faint voices of people, which seem very vague and distant.
"Please go this way." Xu Yanliang was not taken to the building, but went around a corridor on the side of the building. There was another door at the end. After completing some procedures, he was handed over to the second guard.
"This Political Security Bureau is really particular!" Xu Yanliang secretly complained as he looked at the guards wearing black uniforms and blue collar badges.
Guo Yi's office is located in Zhou Botao's original office. This office originally had no decoration. After Guo Yi moved in, he only replaced some of the furniture. Xu Yanliang originally thought he would see a dignified and solemn office image like that of a spy chief in movies and TV dramas, and maybe there would be some statues, flags or "mottos". But the office in front of me is no different from those in other departments: white limestone walls, heavy and sturdy office furniture, and a desk lamp with a green glass cover.
Guo Yi stood up to greet him: "Hello, Comrade Xu Yanliang! I am Guo Yi."
Xu Yanliang subconsciously stretched out his hand and the two shook hands. He suddenly felt a little unbelievable. The person in front of him was the famous "Dongzhu Guo"?
When it comes to the popularity of the elders, apart from the dozen or so senior elders who hold senior positions, Guo Yi is considered the most famous among the ordinary elders. Although he has not been in Lingao for a long time, he is well known in the Senate. Opening up a trade window in Guangzhou gave him a legendary character. No wonder Xu Yanliang felt a little excited.
The man in front of him looked like a young man in his early thirties - of course, Xu Yanliang knew that his real age was nearly forty. Wearing a black uniform, he has an elegant and calm temperament. Whether he is a businessman or an official in a powerful agency, he fits this temperament.
"I am Xu Yanliang." Xu Yanliang said, "Secretary of the Board of Directors of Nanyang Company."
"I know that," Guo Yi smiled, "Please sit down."
The two sat down, Guo Yi stretched out his hand and pulled the bell rope, and a female staff member came in from outside.
"Please give Mr. Xu a cup of tea."
"Ah, thank you very much. You are much younger than I thought."
"I think we are all like this." Guo Yi said, "I am thirty-eight years old this year."
"This cannot but be said to be amazing." Xu Yanliang said. "This is probably the reward given by the Creator for us to abandon everything and come here."
Guo Yi smiled and said nothing. Xu Yanliang suddenly remembered that he did not come to this parallel universe of his own free will.
"Feel sorry."
"It's nothing," Guo Yi said. "Although this was not my original intention, I am very satisfied with my life here."
Before he finished speaking, the female staff member brought tea. He put down his drink and left without saying a word.
"Okay, let's get to the point. We received an application regarding your company's intention to include Li Huamei on the 'training' list. We happen to have some important information about her, so we specially invite you to come here."
"Yes, we are lacking captains like her now, but after checking her file, she is now a 'key concern', so she applied. I also want to know, what is wrong with her? Because she Is she a pirate? Her surveillance level is higher than Liu Xiang, which is too strange."
"Well, I understand what you are thinking. But according to the information we have, this captain has very close ties with the Li Siya Group. He is probably a spy that Li Siya infiltrated into Lingao. In the past few years, the General Administration of Political Security has intercepted I have received a lot of letters from Li Siya, so I have been monitoring her. These are relevant materials, you can take a look - there are some 'highlights' in them, please take a look." Guo Yi said and handed it over Here comes a thick file folder.
Xu Yanliang possesses the necessary skills for a leadership position, which is one eye and ten lines. After quickly browsing the materials, it was hard to put it down.
"So, she is a spy?"
"That's basically it."
"Then why didn't you arrest her?" Xu Yanliang became suspicious. Could it be that these materials were concocted by the Political Security Bureau?
"First, it's because of Elder Qi's relationship. Second, she hasn't done anything to harm the Senate after all."
"What a pity!" Xu Yanliang said sadly, "She is so capable and smart! We were originally very optimistic about her!"
"I understand how you feel." Guo Yi said, "Our suggestion is that you can continue to use her, but you cannot put her in a key position. We also ask that you cooperate in monitoring her. We are by her side. It’s an informant, but it’s not enough.”
"We can cooperate in monitoring her. But your specific monitoring personnel must inform us." Xu Yanliang said quickly.
"That's no problem." Guo Yi said, "But the purpose of talking to you today is not to monitor her, but how to get her out of the current situation - to be a naturalized cadre with dignity."
"You mean..." Xu Yanliang hesitated, "Inciting rebellion?"
"Yes. Specifically, what means should we use to influence or even control Li Huamei? If we can make him consciously or unconsciously get rid of Li Siya's influence, and then pass the information processed by us to the other side through him , that would be ideal. Not only can we take this step to understand the situation of Li Siya Group, but it can also allow her to fully play her role."
"I am in favor of instigating rebellion, but I don't have any specific methods to come up with right away. Maybe I can only do it subtly at work." Xu Yanliang said, "As an employer, we will try our best to cooperate with your work."
"Thank you very much."
"I also have an idea about cooperating with your work." Xu Yanliang has been thinking about this idea for a long time, and he also expressed his anger with Zhou and Wang. I originally wanted to talk to Zhao Manxiong. Now that Guo Yi, the second deputy director, is here, we might as well talk to him first.
"Please tell me."
"Our Nanyang Company was officially listed a few days ago. As you may also know, our company's business scope is very wide, and it is very likely that we will also have colonial management work in the future. It is almost the role of the East India Company - in fact, it is a small government ”
Guo Yi nodded.
"... Since it is a small government, security work must also keep up. The political security department is currently lacking, but it will also be an indispensable department in the future. So I hope that the Political Security Bureau can set up a dedicated department within our company. It doesn’t matter what the name of the organization is, it’s responsible for this business.”
No matter how negative the Senate views the Political Security Bureau, the importance of political security work cannot be denied. No matter how prepared they are, the Political Security Bureau will definitely reach into Nanyang Company and establish a monitoring network.
If they take extreme measures to "clean up the door" and "prevent the spread of the virus," it will cause the outside world to doubt Nanyang Company: What on earth is such a huge company with countless privileges afraid of others knowing?
At first, they considered "setting up their own business" in the political and security field and kicking out the Political and Security Bureau system, but they soon realized that "setting up their own business" made the Senate more worried than "cleaning up the business."
The closed nature of the Political Security Bureau has made them a target. You must know that this is just an agency, and Nanyang Company will be a company with many colonies, fleets, and even a huge "security" team in the future. What impression would a "completely complete" "Australian East India Company" have on the elders?
Xu Yanliang thought twice and decided to take the initiative to ask the Political Security Bureau to set up an agency in Nanyang Company. The condition is that it must be transparent to Nanyang Company.
