Chapter 552 Complex Human Nature

Sun Kai, the deputy head of Wei's deputy district chief in Xipu District, the temporary base of the Shanghai Central Bureau of the underground party, sat at the door of the organization department, feeling like fifteen buckets fetching water in his heart—ups and downs, and his face turned pale.

This morning, he was just about to go to work in Quwei's office, but he was blindfolded by the security guards and sent him here on the way. When he arrived, he found out that most of the grassroots organization leaders of the Central Bureau had arrived.

What is this for? Could it be that his superiors found out about his betrayal of the party? Sun Kai swallowed and wanted to run away, but looking at the young people around him, he could only sit there obediently.

Thinking of what happened after he was captured by the Secret Service Headquarters, the memories resurfaced in his mind again and again like a nightmare. A mistake would be an eternal hatred, but unfortunately, there was no way to turn back.

There were no fewer than ten comrades who were betrayed by him and died under Guodang's hands. As an old underground party, Sun Kai knew very well that the punishment he would face after being exposed was death.

"Old Sun, why is your face so ugly? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to see a doctor? Your health is important." A teacher-like person next to him asked kindly.

"It's okay, it's okay. I was taken aback by the comrades in the security department this morning. I thought it was the enemy coming. I almost pulled the fuse of the grenade. By the way, how did you get here, Old Wu?"

Sun Kaiqiang replied with a smile, and inquired about the situation by the way, if the others were not brought here, then his rebellion must have been exposed, otherwise, it was just a simple call.

This kind of thing has happened before. Generally, very important information and orders need to be conveyed from the southwest. For safety reasons, the people participating in the meeting do not know where the meeting is held.

Besides, the old Wu in his mouth heard this explanation, smiled and said: "Old Sun is worthy of being an old man for many years. He has a strong sense of vigilance. I was also brought here. Did something happen?"

Hearing this, Sun Kai relaxed a little, observed the surroundings quietly, and revealed in a low voice: "I guess I have a meeting to discuss how to deal with that traitorous alarm officer Gong Zizai, you have heard about it.

This kind of traitor must be resolutely suppressed, otherwise I will be sorry for the two arrested comrades. Not only did this person commit a big mistake, he did not want to repent, and even colluded with the secret agents to set up a trap.

Fortunately, our people discovered in time that the enemy's plot failed, otherwise this would be another Gu incident. By the way, have you dealt with the other party before? If so, transfer it as soon as possible. "

Speaking of this, his face was full of worry and hatred, as if he wished to kill Gong Zizai on the spot, which was true, killing a traitor with his own hands was a great achievement.

Thinking of the higher he climbed, the higher the subsidy and official position given by the Secret Service Headquarters, and the women in the book apartment, Sun Kai's heart felt hot, and the remaining guilt suddenly disappeared.

"I haven't dealt with you before, don't worry."

Old Wu on the side didn't know what he was thinking, and said with an angry face, "I heard that the newspapers in the concession have clearly explained the inside story of this matter, and this traitor will definitely not end well.

Take the lives of comrades-in-arms to seek rewards from the enemy and betray the party and organization. I think the comrades of Teko will be dispatched. "

Teco.

Red team.

Sun Kai's breathing became heavy, and the cold sweat on his back kept flowing. Hearing this, he couldn't help but think of the traitors who were shot to death, and then the faces of those people slowly changed into his own.

The bullet holes in his chest and head, the panicked and distorted expressions, the remorse and fear in his eyes, the pale and stiff hands and feet, these pictures appeared before his eyes, and they were getting closer and closer.

"Old Sun? Old Sun? The superior is looking for you."

As if the shout from the sky woke Sun Kai up from his fantasy, he turned his head to look at Old Wu in a daze, only to see the opening and closing of the other's mouth, and after a long delay, he finally heard the other's words clearly.

"Old Sun, the superior wants to talk to us one by one. You are the first one. Hurry up. It's not good to keep the chief waiting for too long. If you ask for opinions on how to deal with traitors, remember to ask for serious treatment."

"Oh, fine."

Sun Kaiqiang responded vigorously, stood up with his hands on his knees with difficulty, and walked into the organization department under the leadership of the security personnel, and then the scene in the room frightened him so that his legs became weak.

The room with the sealed windows had only one table, on one side sat three heads of Shanghai Central Bureau, on the other side was a stool, and on the table was a desk lamp emitting a dim yellow light.

This is a standard interrogation room configuration. The purpose is to form a strong sense of oppression on the interrogated person, disrupt normal thinking, and force the other party to make mistakes. In the final analysis, it is a kind of psychological contest.

Sun Kai is very familiar with this, the Secret Service Headquarters tortured him in such a place, the only difference is that there are all kinds of torture tools, such as tiger benches, electric chairs, torture racks.

So he recruited immediately. The enthusiasm for life-getting when he was young has long been worn away by time, and the only thing left is the yearning for money and power. Besides, Sun Kai knows that he can't make it through.

Rather than being tortured and speaking again, it would be better to surrender directly without suffering one more crime, and maybe even get benefits. The answer was similar to what he thought, and the Secret Service Headquarters really provided a generous reward.

In addition to the solemn atmosphere here, there are no torture tools that make your teeth tremble. Sun Kai clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, walked to the lonely stool, and sat on it as if nothing had happened.

Love, who was in the middle on the other side of the table, flipped through the thick pile of documents in front of him. After searching for a long time, he stopped on one page. After browsing carefully for a few minutes, he adjusted his glasses, raised his head and asked.

"Comrade Sun Kai, we are entrusted by the Shanghai Central Bureau Party Committee to conduct a background check on you. Please cooperate. If you hear the questions, answer them truthfully, and if you don't know, just say you don't know."

After announcing the purpose of calling the leader of the grassroots organization today, he paused for a while to give the other party time to think. Before Chang Weihui can make relevant decisions, there must be a lot of procedures to go through.

"Yes, I understand."

Sun Kai tried his best to put on a clear-eyed expression and replied, his heart was pounding, and the four words of background check showed that the superior confirmed that there were traitors in the organization, and the conversation was just a specific screening.

In this case, there is no way out for confrontation. It is tantamount to telling everyone that he has betrayed, and now he can only bet that the other party has no conclusive evidence and that he can escape this disaster.

"Okay, let me introduce myself first, including basic information such as name and age, as well as past experience, when did you join the party, who was the introducer, and the positions you once held."

Love started the first item of the review with a blank face, and then reminded: "You must tell the truth, this is responsible for yourself, sometimes you don't have to be afraid of going wrong, it depends on whether you can correct it."

Wrong way.

Sun Kai's face flushed instantly, his eyes turned black, his head exploded, his lips went numb, his heart was beating fast, and he seemed a little groggy.

He pinched his thigh with his right hand calmly, and said one by one according to the requirements calmly on the surface, starting from his family when he was a child, all the way to the reason why he joined the underground party many years ago.

"I was working in a coal mine at the time. One shift was eight hours, and the wages were [-] cents. With this money, I couldn't get enough to eat, so in order not to starve to death, I had to work for fifteen or sixteen hours in a row.

It is these incomes that can only maintain the minimum living income, and they will also be subject to various fines and usury deduction. The pitiful little wages we exchanged for our lives are repeatedly squeezed.

The underground working conditions are harsh, fires, flooding, gas, roof falls, landslides occur almost every day, but in order to get coal, the mine owners often force everyone to go down the mine regardless of their lives.

People are thrown into mines when they die, and some people are even thrown into mines before they die. I have seen those corpses, some of them seem to be struggling, and some seem to be stroking their wounds, which is horrible. "

When Sun Kai talked about this passage, a trace of tears welled up in his eyes, and his head gradually lowered: "I worked there for two full years, and every day I lived a life that was worse than death, and I couldn't see any hope.

It wasn't until the end of the year that an accountant came to the mine. His surname was Li. He was very kind and understood a lot of principles. Everyone liked to hear him tell stories about the outside world. I didn't know until later that he was an underground party.

It was he who told us why the miners risked their lives to work without enough food, but the mine owners could sit back and enjoy the profits. It was all because of exploitation. If we want to live a good life, we must unite. "

At this moment, Sun Kai seemed to have returned to the years full of passion, he held his chest up and said, "We organized a strike under the leadership of Mr. Li to demand higher wages from mine owners.

Naturally, the mine owner refused, and even sent a dog leg to scare people with a gun. Everyone was too scared to speak, but he stood up first, blocked the gun with his body, and forced the opponent back.

In the end, we won. Everyone’s wages have been raised, and the underground safety measures have been improved. However, I still quit my job. I want to follow Mr. Li to help more suffering people. "

"what's next."

Love took a pen to record, and asked seriously. The file only records a person's general situation. If you want to fully understand a person's past, you have to listen to him.

Sun Kai raised his hand to wipe away his tears: "I followed Mr. Li to many places and helped him carry out the labor movement. I saw and listened to a lot along the way, and joined the party under Mr. Li's introduction.

In the 16th year of the Republic of China, the Guo Party massacred our comrades, and Mr. Li and I were blocked in a small forest by spies. I wanted to lure the enemy away, but he refused and let me go first.

He said with a smile that he was old and that the cause of the party needs young people who are full of vigor and vitality. He hoped that I would not forget the oath under the party banner and must fight for the cause of underground partyism all my life. "

Sun Kai burst into tears and fell to his knees with a plop: "Those bastards chopped off Mr. Li's head and hung it on a bamboo pole. I shouldn't have left. I really deserve to die. I don't deserve to be an underground party member."
