The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 528: The Unwilling Peng Nian
"Director Peng, I'm Cheng Mo!"

Peng Nian was so scared that he almost threw the telephone receiver in his hand. After what happened to Chen Manli, he felt that he was in danger, so he quickly found a new house and moved.

He did not tell anyone the address of the new house except a few close friends.

How did the Concession Police Station find out?

Is the intelligence gathering capability of the Political Section of the Concession Police Station stronger than that of No. 76?

"Mr. Cheng, you are really powerful. How do you know my home phone number?" Peng Nian asked with a dry laugh.

"Director Peng, I am the chief inspector of the political section of the police station in the concession. You live in the concession. Is it difficult for you to find someone?" Cheng Mo said with a smile.

Peng Nian's heart skipped a beat, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether Cheng Mo was telling the truth or a lie. If it was true, it would be terrifying. As long as these people in No. 76 lived in the concession, wouldn't they have no secrets at all from the police station?
If he said that on purpose, then someone must have leaked his home address or phone number, and someone in Room 76 who is familiar with Mr. Cheng...

Peng Nian couldn't help but think of Wang Miao.

Before No. 76 was established, he had a good relationship with Cheng Mo. The two of them used to play cards together at the Central Hotel, and he was a card-playing buddy with the deceased Chief Inspector of the Criminal Division Lu Liankui.

It is said that Lin Shiqun wanted to find Cheng Mo through Wang Miao's relationship. The two of them probably have a close relationship, but now they are not in contact as frequently to avoid suspicion.

Could it be him?

This question is not easy to verify.

"Mr. Cheng, you said you wanted to see me, is there something wrong?"

"Director Peng, this time it was Chen Manli who died for you. What about next time? Will you be so lucky?" Cheng Mo pointed it out directly on the phone.

"I don't quite understand what Mr. Cheng said. What does Chen Manli's death have to do with me? Didn't I make it clear last time at the Zhaofeng Club?" Peng Nian said, "I told your Officer Qin everything."

"Director Peng, let's not beat around the bush. I asked you out because I wanted to talk about Wu Sibao. If you can swallow this, just pretend I didn't say anything." Cheng Mo gave an address and a time, then hung up the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Cheng..."

Seeing that the other party had hung up the phone, Peng Nian cursed, "You little bastard, you're playing hard to get with me. You're still a little naive."

……

"Boss, did Peng Nian agree to meet with you?" Seeing Cheng Mo hung up the phone, Xu Qinghe stepped forward carefully and asked curiously.

"This old guy hasn't lived in vain for the past few decades. Although he hates Wu Sibao, he has to weigh the pros and cons. These people are like this. However, I am sure that he will go when the time comes." Cheng Mo laughed and explained.

"So, what do you plan to talk to Peng Nian about?"

"What do you think will happen if I issue a wanted order for Bai Saner and Wu Sibao after meeting with Peng Nian?"

"That would be equivalent to declaring war on Wu Sibao completely."

"Why not with No. 76?"

"Wu Sibao is the mastermind of the Paramount shooting case. You issued a wanted order, which was a normal performance of your duties, not a vent of personal anger."

"But Wu Sibao and I have a personal grudge. Does this count as public revenge?"

"So what? It's not you who provoked him. It's his case that fell into your hands..." Xu Qinghe said.

Cheng Mo sighed. He really didn't want to confront Wu Sibao at this moment. This guy was a mad dog, and Su Moer was going to give birth early next month.

He couldn't guarantee what this guy would do if he went crazy.

Why do undercover agents need to be free and alone? Because they have no weaknesses, and without weaknesses, they are not afraid of any threats. However, if you have no weaknesses, others will be wary of you, which is a paradox. Therefore, most undercover agents can only work as working couples, and it is best not to have children. Children and lovers are both weaknesses.

If you don't want to take action, you have to root out the problem completely.

Wu Sibao would definitely implicate Lin Shiqun in the future. He was Lin Shiqun's most obedient henchman. Lin Shiqun condoned the bad things he did, which also served as a catalyst for Lin Shiqun's eventual poisoning to death by the Japanese and Zhou Fuhai.

Lin Shiqun is bound to die, but the problem is that he only cares about his own interests and has no national integrity or dignity. Even if he secretly contacts the organization, it is all out of consideration for interests. It is a pity that such a person should die.

If he touches Wu Sibao, Lin Shiqun will definitely retaliate wildly, but now does not seem to be the best time. Cheng Mo tries hard to analyze and restrain his inner impulse.

Although Lin Shiqun is wary of him now, he doesn't take him seriously. What he wants is control of the concession in a year.

As long as they controlled the original concession area, they could provide shelter for anti-Japanese organizations and forces in Shanghai.

Apart from mentioning this idea to his senior brother Wen Qiu, he did not tell anyone else a word. Wen Qiu felt that this was difficult to achieve, but he wanted to give it a try.

As for the Military Control Commission, he would take it one step at a time and see how Dai Yunong would arrange it.

Let’s meet Peng Nian first.

This person can still be used.

"Boss, do you need me to go with you?"

"No need, I can go alone. If there are outsiders around, he probably won't tell me the truth." Cheng Mo said.

"But……"

"You don't have to worry about my safety. This is in the concession." Cheng Mo said, "Besides, Peng Nian has no reason to harm me."

"it is good."

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Mo went to the teahouse in advance for his secret meeting with Peng Nian.

Cheng Mo wore a long gown, a beard, and held two books between his legs, pretending to be a teacher. With a top hat on his head, he could not be recognized when walking on the street.

Peng Nian thought about it for a long time at home, but finally he couldn't help it and changed his clothes and went out. He was also an old spy, so he naturally knew how to track and counter-track. After walking around and making sure that there was no one behind him, he went to the teahouse where they had agreed to meet.

In the afternoon, there are people telling stories in the teahouse. Nowadays, not many people have the money and time to spend most of the day in a teahouse.

The attendance rate is probably about 40% to 50%.

Peng Nian looked around at the door and did not enter the lobby. Instead, he went directly to the second floor from the stairs on both sides.

The second floor is a semi-open cubicle, which is much more private. It is not easy to be seen and conversations will not be heard by others.

As I walked along, I saw a black umbrella placed next to a table, with a curved handle hanging on the groove on the edge of the table.

Peng Nian stopped and looked carefully at Cheng Mo, who was sitting sideways, cracking melon seeds and listening to a book. He raised his hands and clasped his fists: "Are you Boss Cheng?"

"Oh, Boss Peng is here, come on, please sit down!" Cheng Mo heard footsteps, but he didn't turn around until Peng Nian spoke himself. Then he pretended to turn around and saw Peng Nian standing up to greet him in surprise, and motioned for him to sit down.

"Boss Cheng is so elegant!"

"Take a break from your busy schedule, take a break from your busy schedule..." Cheng Mo chuckled, thinking that his wait was not in vain. This guy was unwilling to give up.
