As a sensible person, he was certainly not willing to take such a risk, especially when he learned that Fang Lang actually used the military radio on the warship to send telegrams to the outside world, he became even more aware of the seriousness of the matter.
If he were to spy on an allied rear admiral and monitor the external communications of allied naval warships, his political career would definitely be over.
Therefore, deep down in his heart, he was unwilling to continue to risk monitoring Fang Lang's movements, especially after several days of monitoring and no doubts were found on Fang Lang. He went directly to the superior to express that Fang Lang had passed through Brazil. Navy warships sent the intelligence.
The purpose of this is also very simple, which is to tell the other party that now that the other party has sent the information, there is no point in continuing to stare at the other party.
But now it was obvious that the commander was not willing to give up. He couldn't help but said:
"Sir, even if we catch the other party's problem, we have no way to take any action against the other party. After all, he is our ally.
What's more important is that the other side also holds heavy troops and has three warships anchored at our military port. If there is a conflict with us, the situation may be out of our control.
Also, the other party was invited by the Chief of General Staff of the Navy to visit the port city. If the surveillance actions we took against them were known by the Navy, we would be passive. "
How could the Chief’s Assistant Commissioner of Police not be aware of these circumstances! The reason why he still asked his subordinates to monitor Fang Lang even though he knew this was because the greater the risk, the greater the reward.
If he could really find something to do with Fang Lang, he would definitely be waiting for a promotion and a salary increase. Even if there was any problem, he would have already thought of a way out.
Therefore, even if his subordinate expressed his interests, he still refused to give up. He stared at the subordinate fiercely and said:
"You don't need to tell me what risks this matter has. I know better than you. But at the same time, once this matter is confirmed, do you know how influential it will be?
Brazil is the staunchest ally of the United States, and their rear admiral is suspected of being a traitor. Don’t you understand how much of a chain reaction this intelligence can cause?
Also, I am your commander, I have the right to decide what actions to take, you just need to implement them seriously.
I don't want to hear any more excuses from you, okay? "
When the Chief Superintendent saw this, he understood that the Assistant Commissioner of Police was resolute and determined to hold on to the Brazilian Rear Admiral, which gave him a headache.
At the same time, I also understood the chief's innermost thoughts. He might want to use this matter to sow discord between the United States and Brazil. Intelligence personnel like them are very aware of the other identity of Fang Lang, the Brazilian rear admiral.
But in the Chief Superintendent's heart, he doesn't think this matter has any meaning. Even if this gentleman really has any problems, what will the United States or Brazil do to each other? According to his judgment, there is a high probability that it will not.
Moreover, even if the United States and Brazil are estranged because of this matter, so what? Are there any benefits for the UK?
In his opinion, this matter was a thankless task in every aspect, so he had already made up his mind to give up this task.
If the commander must continue, he can arrange for others to carry out the operation. He does not want to continue to participate in this operation.
But on the surface, he would not directly conflict with the superior. In response to the superior's tough attitude, he could only stand at attention and salute:
"Yes, sir!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
As the head of MI6 in Hong Kong, the Assistant Commissioner of Police never imagined that his subordinates would one day violate his orders.
When he saw the other party taking the order and leaving, he showed a satisfied smile.
But after the chief superintendent left the police station, he directly ordered his subordinates to cancel Fang Lang's surveillance, leaving only one person to report Fang Lang's whereabouts every day. This will help you be able to give accurate replies when asked by your superiors.
As soon as these MI6 personnel evacuated, Fang Lang, who was taking the convoy around to investigate the location of the museum, noticed the change, and couldn't help but smile, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
As for the person who was following them far behind, Fang Lang didn't take it seriously. Since the large army had retreated, it meant that the other party had given up comprehensive monitoring of him. Leaving a little tail watching behind him had no effect on him at all.
Next, Fang Lang did not change his itinerary, but continued to inspect various streets in the port city as if aimlessly.
It wasn't until dinner time that Fang Lang's motorcade stopped outside a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant in Tsuen Wan. According to the itinerary of the past few days, it was naturally dinner time. The person responsible for monitoring also stopped at a distance and did not Take the other person's meal seriously.
After Fang Lang led people into the tea restaurant, a young man in a suit and leather shoes slowly stood up and nodded to Fang Lang.
Seeing the other party seemed familiar. After a period of memory recovery, Fang Lang remembered that he had seen the other party when the Hongyi Hall in Brazil was opened, and the other party was following Mr. Situ. He should be Mr. Situ's confidant.
Fang Lang, who remembered the other party's identity, also smiled and nodded.
"Is Mr. Situ here?"
When the other party saw Fang Lang, he asked him directly about Mr. Situ, and he knew that the other party recognized him. This shocked him extremely. He had only met the other party once. At that time, he was standing in the corner and could only see the other party from a distance. He could It was strange to recognize the other person at a glance, but the other person could recognize him at a glance. How could he not be shocked?
"Mr. Fang, Mr. Situ is old and has difficulty moving, so he didn't come here. This time it was someone else who came."
When Fang Lang heard this, he frowned, but soon relaxed, waved his hands indifferently and said:
"It doesn't matter, just lead the way!"
Hearing this, the young man glanced at the guards around Fang Lang, who seemed a little embarrassed. Fang Lang smiled and waved to the guards behind him, indicating that everyone should sit down and eat.
He took the lead and walked into the tea restaurant. Seeing this, the young man quickly took two steps and said to Fang Lang:
"General Fang, please come this way!"
Fang Lang led Qi Qingshan alone and followed the young man through the back kitchen of the tea restaurant and into the backyard of the restaurant. He turned left through a small door in the backyard and entered the back door of the tenement building next door.
The young man looked around cautiously, and after confirming that the surroundings were safe, he gently knocked on the door.
The door opened quickly from the inside, and the person who opened the door, Fang Lang and Qi Qingshan were stunned. Obviously, I didn't expect to meet anyone I knew here.
Fang Lang was the first to react. He laughed and walked straight in. When he walked to the person who opened the door, he didn't forget to pat the other person's arm.
Qi Qingshan obviously didn't expect that he would meet this guy again. He couldn't help but look at him carefully. It wasn't until he felt a little uncomfortable that he smiled and followed Fang Lang in. .
The person who opened the door froze when he saw Fang Lang and Qi Qingshan coming in. He never expected to see these two people here.
For a moment, he couldn't react. What happened? You must know that this time the leader sent from his hometown was a very important leader. He originally thought that the leader was coming to negotiate with the Hong Kong Governor, but who knew he was actually here to meet this unexpected person? .
I just don’t know what the other party’s position is, and whether it will have any adverse impact on my latent work after meeting me.
There were many things in his mind for a moment, but he soon realized that the person who could let his superiors take such a big risk and come to meet him in person was definitely trustworthy.
Moreover, his superiors are also very clear about his situation in the port city. Since his superiors arranged for him to participate in this security work, it means that his superiors may have their own considerations.
After thinking about this, his mood gradually calmed down. But the way Qi Qingshan looked him up and down still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
When he was about to say something, several guests had already entered and walked inside.
This tenement building, like the tea restaurant next door, is a three-story building without a roof. Unlike the tea restaurant next door, the first floor here is a grocery store.
At this moment, the door to the stairwell from the first floor of the grocery store to the second floor was locked from the inside to the outside, preventing customers of the first-floor grocery store from noticing someone going up the stairs behind them.
Fang Lang looked at the environment of the tenement building with great interest as he walked. There were many vegetables and fruit trees planted behind the backyard. Although it was already December, there were still many vegetables growing strongly in the vegetable garden.
On the other hand, the fruit tree, which should be lemon, had lush branches and leaves, and was full of green. This farmyard-like environment made Fang Lang feel relaxed.
Fang Lang followed the young man through the vegetable garden and into the back door of the tenement building. In front of the back door was the door leading to the grocery store, and on the right was the staircase to the second floor.
The young man climbed directly to the second floor. After arriving at the door of the second floor, he knocked on the door long and short. There was a sound of opening the door from inside. A man about thirty-six or seventeen years old wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses A middle-aged man stood behind the door, looking at the people on the stairs, smiling and extending his hand to Fang Lang:
"General Fang, I have long admired your name. Nice to meet you! My surname is Qiao, and I am currently the president of Xiao Xinhua in Hong Kong City."
After looking at the other person up and down, Fang Lang felt that this person looked familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who he was. However, since his hometown asked him to contact him, it meant that he was definitely trustworthy.
As for the little Xinhua the other party referred to, Fang Lang naturally knew where he was referring to. This was the official office of his hometown in Hong Kong City.
"Haha... Mr. Qiao is so polite! I am also very happy to see my compatriots from my hometown in Hong Kong City."
The two of them clasped hands, meeting for the first time, but they walked into the living room on the second floor of this tenement building, talking and laughing as if they were old friends they hadn't seen for a long time.
After entering the room and seating the guests and hosts, Fang Lang did not speak anymore, but took out half a dollar bill from his jacket pocket and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
Mr. Qiao didn't say anything when he saw this. He smiled and took out half a dollar bill from his coat pocket and put it on the coffee table. The two of them pushed the half dollar bills and spliced them together on the coffee table. A complete twenty dollar bill came out. Perfectly restored.
Seeing this scene, Fang Lang laughed again and stood up to shake hands with the other party.
"Hello, comrade!" "Hello, comrade!"
After the two people confirmed their identities, a lady who was similar in age to Mr. Qiao and looked very scholarly came out of the room behind the living room and served tea to the two of them.
"This is my lover and my assistant Gong Wei. This time our couple was appointed by the organization to meet with General Fang.
I will truthfully convey all conversations between us to the organization. If General Fang has any questions, he can ask us directly. As long as we know something, we will tell you everything. "
Hearing this, Fang Lang stood up with a smile, shook hands with the lady gently and said:
"Hello! Comrade Gong, my name is Fang Lang. Nice to meet you!"
