Chapter 628 Meritorious Service
Although Song Shutang snatched the credit away from Li Qun this time.

But it won't be of much use if you report it to the Mei Agency.

Why?

Hisahito was there helping to mediate, and there were indeed people in the Mei Agency who didn't wish Li Qun well.

Although there are still some people who think that such power struggles in the secret service headquarters greatly affect work and they are not happy about it.

But when both sides have their own opinions, then of course no one can say anything and they can only let the situation develop.

Song Shutang did not fail to make contributions, after all, all the people had been caught.

That's his credit.

As for what you said about Li Qun trying to play the long game and catch a big fish?
In fact, they were all deceived!
why would you say so?

After Song Shutang arrested someone, he arranged an interrogation. Someone couldn't bear the interrogation and chose to speak, and then the division started the subsequent arrest operation.

The results of it?
The building was empty.

Moreover, the place was not empty after Song Shutang started to arrest people, but people had already evacuated before that. What does this mean?
This shows that Li Qun’s idea of ​​playing the long game to catch big fish is wrong.

The other party had already evacuated.

You might as well arrest him as soon as possible. Maybe you can still interrogate him in time instead of wasting time like this.

Even the Mei Agency thought that Song Shutang was right to arrest these people. If he hadn't arrested them, the other party might have already started considering how to evacuate these people.

After all, the troubles behind these people should be solved first, and then it’s time to deal with them.

If you hadn’t arrested people here at Song Shutang, you might not have been able to arrest so many people.

So you're saying this is Song Shutang's problem?

It was Li Qun's problem, the capture was too slow.

Faced with this situation, Li Qun himself was a little surprised, but he subsequently arranged for personnel to investigate and found that the division was not lying.

After the arrested persons spoke, the information they provided showed that they had indeed been evacuated long ago, and it was not that Song Shutang had alerted the enemy by arresting them.

This means that the enemy has long known about the actions at the secret service headquarters.

But this matter is clearly kept secret, how could the enemy know about it?
It would be fine if Song Shutang knew about it, but there was an insider who provided him with the information. Could it be that there was an insider in the Red Party inside the secret service headquarters?
And he is lurking under Li Qun's command.

This situation was also difficult for him to accept.

As for what you said was Song Shutang's problem, Li Qun certainly didn't think so, after all, Song Shutang arrested all the people.

If there was something wrong with Song Shutang, he should have arrested people and caused a conflict with Li Qun's people, and then given the other party a chance to escape.

This is quite normal.

But Song Shutang just killed them all directly. Although the other party's people have evacuated, you must have lost your previous job and your latent cover identity, which is a big blow to them.

So now no one doubts that there is something wrong with Song Shutang, and Li Qun does not doubt it either.

It was just said that there were undercover members of the Red Party in his group, who told the news to the Red Party in advance, causing them to evacuate all their personnel. Li Qun's idea of ​​playing the long game and catching a big fish was directly shattered.

Later, it was someone under Song Shutang's command who told him the news, and Song Shutang wanted to grab the credit.

This should be the process.

This means that the people who intercept Song Shutang now will not only not be punished, but will also be praised.

If Song Shutang had not taken action, Li Qun's efforts would have been in vain.

Faced with such a result, Li Qun was of course not convinced and could only say that Song Shutang was lucky.

But what he couldn't accept even more was that there were so many problems with his subordinates.

Intelligence work is like this. Being infiltrated and lurking by the enemy is the main theme, and even half of your job is to greet these people.

But Li Qun now doesn't want to be like Wan Liang and investigate his subordinates so thoroughly.

If that's the case, the ending might be the same as Wan Liang's.

Therefore, Li Qun now told Nie Hong again not to investigate who had problems, no matter who was the Red Party's undercover agent or who was Song Shutang's undercover agent, they could all be put aside for now.

There can't be chaos inside.

He asked Nie Hong to start investigating his subordinates to find out who was trustworthy.

I don’t care who has problems.

I will now find people who are completely trustworthy, and entrust them with any tasks and work in the future.

The other members are responsible for the daily work.

Then it will be difficult for you to access important information, and even if you want to report it, it will be difficult for you to do so without the necessary information.

But Li Qun's work here can still proceed normally.

It has to be said that Li Qun's reaction was much better than Wan Liang's. Wan Liang took drastic measures and demoted all his men.

But the consequences of your actions are now obvious.

Li Qun does not investigate who has problems. Everyone can do their normal daily work, but they will not assign you additional tasks.

Originally, these tasks were not something that everyone could be responsible for, so the changes would not be very significant for the people under him.
It will not cause panic among the people, and their hearts will remain stable.

As for the undercover personnel, Li Qun felt that they could be investigated slowly in the future. As long as the situation was not too bad, they would be exposed sooner or later.

But in the final analysis, he lost to Song Shutang this time. Not only was he intercepted by someone, but he also let that person take credit for it.

It was my own mistake that caused the opponent to escape.

Li Qun now has no way to refute Mei Ji's statement and can only blame himself for his bad luck.

But Li Qun also realized that Song Shutang and Wan Liang were different, and the other had greater ambitions.

And the means are more direct.

He cuts in without mercy.

After all, Ding Yingzhuo had made contributions, and Li Qun had also made contributions before. If Song Shutang did not make contributions, wouldn't he be outdone?

Besides, it can also disrupt the relationship between Li Qun and his subordinates. Isn’t this what Song Shutang did to Wan Liang before?

I just want to have one trick to succeed everywhere.

Li Qun also began to pay attention to Song Shutang.

As for Li Qun's arrangements, Song Shutang didn't know. He was in high spirits these days.

The Mei Agency commended him.

He also gave awards to the people in the division.

The people in the division were also very happy. They had made a contribution, and they had intercepted Li Qun's contribution. The Mei Office also commended them.

Those who chose Song Shutang instead of returning to the Secret Service Headquarters now feel that they made the right choice, especially Cao Xinrong.

Wan Liang is dead.

Yan Feng was also excited.

Mei Muzhizi felt that Song Shutang was indeed lucky. He originally planned to intercept the opportunity and then bear some pressure.

But who knew that the intelligence these people had obtained had already been evacuated by the enemy, and it became Li Qun's problem instead.

Mei Muzhizi said in Song Shutang's office: "I didn't expect that we would be so lucky."

"Actually, we are unlucky." Song Shutang said. "What do you mean?"

"If the information provided by this person can lead to subsequent gains for us, then we are really lucky. It seems that we have not caused any trouble now, but the value of our meritorious service is very small. After all, even if we don't arrest these people, the director can still catch them."

Mei Muzhizi understood what Song Shutang said, thinking that his contribution was not great enough.

Mei Mu Zhizi smiled and said, "It's good enough to have achievements without any trouble. We should proceed step by step."

Hearing the other party say this, Song Shutang said: "It's okay to think this way, but the situation is quite complicated now, and it would definitely be good to be able to make meritorious service."

"Now it's our contribution anyway."

"Not as good as Ding Yingzhuo."

"Almost. He has uncovered a lot of things, but he hasn't caught anyone."

"Too."

After hearing Mei Muzhizi's comforting words, Song Shutang felt much better.

Afterwards, the two discussed how to deal with the captured people.

Song Shutang said that it would be fine to hand it over directly to the prison. Anyway, the people in the puppet government always like to sentence the arrested anti-Japanese personnel, so just leave it to them to sentence.

Mei Muzhizi had no objection to this arrangement. After all, it was the normal operation.

Song Shutang just needs to hand the person over, and the organization will make follow-up arrangements.

In any case, they will definitely use some connections to get them directly detained.

It doesn’t matter how many years you are sentenced to. We will find an opportunity to rescue you later.

And it is not difficult to achieve such a result. After all, the people who are responsible for these things also benefit from it.

Many people also have interests related to the anti-Japanese organizations here.

It sounds incredible, but where there is profit, there are such deals. This is nothing new.

Although Song Shutang participated in the organization this time and completed the organization's plan, the losses were also not small.

The anti-Japanese situation has always been very difficult.

Both the organization and the Military Control Commission faced a lot of pressure and suffered considerable losses.

So the organization here wants to fight back.

After all, there were many such counterattacks in Shanghai, especially from the Military Control Commission. Shanghai was a river of blood before.

If the organization wants to fight back, they will naturally look for the secret service headquarters, after all, they are the ones who are arresting the people.

The organization's current thinking is whether to counterattack Li Qun or Song Shutang.

They are actually the same.

Li Qun arrested the people involved and then secretly monitored some of them. Song Shutang arrested this group of people later.

So in the end, it doesn't matter who you attack.

Taking action against Li Qun would have nothing to do with Song Shutang, but would actually be of some benefit to him.

If we take action against Song Shutang, it will further prove his innocence and make it appear that he has nothing to do with the Red Party, which will also be helpful for some subsequent work.

So now it depends on how the organization chooses.

Uncle Li also sent a message to Song Shutang, wanting to hear his opinion.

Before giving his opinion, Song Shutang met with Nie Hong and learned about Li Qun's situation. Li Qun's current reaction is very good. Song Shutang feels that if the organization here wants to find Li Qun to take action, there may be some uncertain factors.

Let’s not talk about whether the desired effect of the organization can be achieved.

Even if you achieve results, you may lose a lot of manpower.

Even if you lose manpower, you still don't achieve any results.

This is difficult for them to accept.

Finally, after much thought and considering all aspects of the situation, Song Shutang told the organization that it would be better to take action against him here.

Although attacking Song Shutang would cause losses to their people, it would also make it more clear that the Red Party wanted to retaliate against the partition, and Song Shutang would be more innocent.

Whether in front of the Japanese or in the secret service headquarters, Song Shutang is innocent enough.

As long as no one doubts his identity, Song Shutang can obtain internal intelligence very well, and the struggle for power and profit is now less stressful.

As soon as Ding Yingzhuo took office, Song Shutang's pressure was certainly much less.

Therefore, the organization here also agreed to Song Shutang's arrangement and took action against the people in the division.

Moreover, Song Shutang could give the news in advance and cooperate with the organization's people to take action, so that the organization would not suffer such a great loss.

Even after organizing the action, Song Shutang could state that there were undercover members of the Red Party within his division and then launch a search.

Li Qun became even more convinced that the information he had was provided by the Red Party's undercover personnel, not Song Shutang.

It can be said that one action can solve multiple hidden dangers.

After finalizing these, Song Shutang provided the division's route of action. They happened to have a mission that required them to go to a relatively remote area, so the organization could set up an ambush in advance.

Moreover, this mission is not so confidential and many people know about it.

The scope of future investigations into internal traitors will also be very large.

It would be normal if nothing can be found out by then.

The people from the division were taking action today, and Song Shutang was waiting for news. Sure enough, in the afternoon, Cao Xinrong came back and reported to Song Shutang that they had been ambushed.

It is said that he is a member of the Red Party.

Because they were acting in retaliation, they heard someone shouting.

Song Shutang hurriedly asked about the casualties, and Cao Xinrong replied, "The casualties are not small, and we haven't had time to count them yet."

Even though Song Shutang was angry, there was nothing he could do. He could only ask them to send the injured to the hospital and provide compensation to the dead.

They were ambushed, so they had no power to fight back, and the other side suffered no losses, but two comrades from the organization still died.

After all, after a firefight, there are many things that you cannot control.

The news that Song Shutang was retaliated by the Red Party was immediately known in the secret service headquarters. After listening to Nie Hong's report, Li Qun became even more certain that this matter had nothing to do with Song Shutang, otherwise he would not have been retaliated against.

Nie Hong said: "It seems that the Red Party wanted to take revenge, but they didn't dare to go to the director, so they went to find District Chief Song."

Li Qun felt that it was not that they were afraid to look for him, but that he had no chance. Instead, it was Song Shutang who gave him the opportunity.

So he reminded Nie Hong that his subordinates must be careful not to give the Red Party any chance, as they might still want to continue their action.

Nie Hong said he understood and said that Song Shutang helped in an ambush.

Li Qun's mood also improved a lot, after all, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Mei Agency learned about this matter, and Hisahito also felt that the Red Party was too arrogant, but he trusted Song Shutang more.

This kind of trust does not mean how much he trusts Song Shutang, but that he trusts your identity and will not doubt you.

This is the result Song Shutang wanted.

This matter may not necessarily bring high returns, but such returns are the most important. What Song Shutang needs is for his identity not to be suspected. The rest depends on one's own ability.
