Chapter 350 Confusion and Predicament (02)

In order to avoid trouble, Si Xuanyi found another opportunity to tell Director Mao his true thoughts, and at the same time tried his best to show his loyalty. As for whether he was accepted or recognized, it was hard to say. He is willing to participate in it, but he has to do so in this situation. After all, he wants to survive in this circle.

Of course, Director Mao's attitude is fine, but Si Xuanyi doesn't know what he thinks in his heart. A person who can achieve this position will never put anything on his face. In the past, there was an accident. When he was recruiting, a colleague from the investigation department who had dealt with and drank with him was secretly arrested by the anti-espionage department. The reason was that this person was collaborating with the enemy. He bought and sold a lot of military secrets, because he was also implicated in this matter, and was investigated in isolation. In addition to asking him to talk to people of different levels, he was even subjected to strict interrogation, coercion, profit and intimidation. He has a clear conscience, but he has been tortured a lot. He is not afraid, but worried that he will become a victim. Whether you are clean in this circle is not entirely up to you, but also depends on whether those people want you to be clean, because those people The guy is definitely a master at turning black and white and confusing right and wrong.

During the period when he was isolated, Li Siming and Liang Wei were frequently active outside, spending money when they should spend money, delaying relationships when they should rely on relationships. During a period of frequent combat missions, they had to break up the team again and act separately. Lin Feng, Ye Feng, Zhao Chenggong and the three old men had to separate and lead the newcomers around. The work of their departments did not stop because of Si Xuanyi's absence. stagnated, but generally speaking, the morale of the entire department is not high. During this period, Director Mao once came to appease them and said a lot of nonsense to appease and encourage them. Handling it impartially will never wrong a good person or let a bad person go. If Si Xuanyi has no problems, he will be back soon.

"Not allowed to meet, not to visit, all the people who should be found have been found, and the money that should have been spent has been spent, but the result is still the same. This is not a matter of money. Without orders, they dare not mess around. The above still attaches great importance to this. "Li Siming leaned on the chair and said with a tired face. The two were busy working opposite him. Li Siming just came back from the outside and finished the last relationship they could find. "This matter is more complicated than we thought before. Too much, I don’t understand, can such a big problem be caused by eating a meal? Why did the people in the anti-espionage department target him everywhere? There was no festival before.”

"Who do the people in the anti-espionage department have a problem with? How many of the people they are targeting have not been caught? They don't care about that much, as long as there is suspicion, they dare to attack. The dignitaries and nobles may still have some scruples. They don’t pay attention to petty officials, so of course they can be arrested if they want to.” Liang Wei said while sorting out the documents, and now she has moved almost all of her work to Si Xuanyi’s office, the workload is too heavy , she was almost overwhelmed, it was not easy for a little girl like her to do this.

"Do we have any other solutions?" Li Siming asked. Liang Wei was in charge of everything during Si Xuanyi's absence. This girl can almost control the normal operation of the entire department. On the surface, it seems that Li Siming's deputy is not as effective as a big secretary , but in fact this is not the case. Liang Wei can control and judge the situation very well, and Li Siming is really not good at this aspect, so Liang Wei was the one who advised and advised Si Xuanyi throughout the rescue process, and Li Siming finally made the decision.

"We have done what we have to do, and the rest is to wait. Unless you can find the director and convince him, otherwise, don't think about anything else." Liang Wei said without raising her head, "This kind of thing, the director Can you intervene? A small official who is as big as a sesame mung bean, if there is more than one, not more, and one more, unless he really has a problem, the director will not intervene."

"I didn't expect it to be so big after only half a year. We thought it would be good to have a chance to fight the devils. Although it is not as good as the frontal battlefield, it can at least play its own role. But apart from fighting , and these messy things." Li Siming said, as if complaining.

"As far as I'm concerned, he's fine." Liang Wei said, "Judging from the situation during this period of time, although there's no news about him, he hasn't changed much. Judging from the news obtained from several authoritative channels It’s just that he was imprisoned, and no one tortured him during the interrogation, and there was no substantive evidence to prove that he had any other relationship with that person. He just had a meal once and had some official contacts. Besides, the value of his existence now is It’s not very big, it’s meaningless to kill him, but keeping him can still start to work, so I think it’s only a matter of time before he is released, the reason why he hasn’t come out now is because the higher-ups haven’t thought it through, or there are other considerations, the higher-ups also Maybe take this opportunity to give him some warnings, to make him serve the group more faithfully, and I believe you can imagine all of these.” In fact, her last sentence was to explain that she was not showing off, but at the same time Save face for Li Siming.

"I can think of the first part of what you said, but as long as he doesn't come out, I don't feel at ease. As for what you said later, the above is to give him a deep education and guidance. , but there is no need to attack him as a small section chief, right?" Li Siming asked.

"This issue is a bit complicated. First of all, he is indeed just a small section chief, but the problem is that although this position is not very important, it is very special. This is a department that everyone is paying attention to. Although in the overall situation of the War of Resistance , the role we can play is very small, even negligible, but the significance of the existence of this department itself is to express that the upper echelon spares no effort to protect Chinese culture, which can play a good role in publicity in all walks of life It is conducive to increasing the trust of people from all walks of life to the upper class and establishing a good image, so our existence itself is a kind of value, it may not be useful, but it cannot be absent.”

Li Siming understood the truth, but he never thought about it so deeply, and he was also surprised that this girl saw things so thoroughly.

"So there's no need to continue worrying about it. Let's wait and see. If there are any new actions above, we are thinking about what to do, but due to the current situation, we have already done what we should do."

"He's a little panicked not being here. Although other people don't say it, they can see that their work is not steady. This is not a good sign. You have to think of a way." Li Siming said.

"Please, I'm just a secretary. If you think of a way, you, the deputy section chief, should come." Liang Wei raised her head, "It's your job to stabilize the overall situation. You can do whatever you want, and I will assist you."

Li Siming was a little ashamed. What Liang Wei said was indeed correct. As the second person in charge of this department, he had the responsibility and obligation to adjust morale and let everyone continue to work hard, instead of pushing all the work on Liang Wei. It is completely within the scope of my work.

After being detained for 27 days, Si Xuanyi was released. Compared to when he was taken away, he lost a lot of weight and became very haggard. It can be seen that there was a lot of tossing about him. .

He was released without warning, so everyone was unprepared, but everyone was very happy to see him.

"How is it? Are you okay?" Li Siming asked.

"Okay! There's nothing wrong with it. It's not as good as his mother's when someone waits for food and drink all day long." Si Xuanyi sat down, picked up the cigarette on the table and lit it, took a deep breath and leaned back on the chair for a long time before continuing, "This group of bastards will one day let them know how powerful I am... Well, it's all over, has anything happened during this time?"

"Tasks are frequent, our people are not idle, they almost leave when they come back, fighting fires everywhere, causing problems everywhere, the Japanese are getting more and more crazy, their non-governmental cultural investigation group has been active recently, and the people sent out from Moving around from south to north, the treasure guards in the two lakes have been wiped out by them. Now the woodcutter and Zhao Chenggong are sitting there. The routine communication content this morning shows that they are still cleaning up the remnants, but they have finally rebuilt the team. Get up, although there are not many people and they are not professional enough, but at least they have started to fight back. As for the effect, it is still unclear. Given the professionalism and strength of the little devil, don't hold out too much hope. The farmers and fishermen went to the north separately He and Guangdong took away a large number of people, but the feedback seems to be not too optimistic." Li Siming shook his head as he spoke, looking very helpless, but when Si Xuanyi came back, he felt a lot more at ease.

"This is a report sent from various places. It is getting more and more chaotic. It is difficult for us to deal with it. So I sent a report to the top and asked Director Mao to call the military control agencies and some regular military associations in various places to officially take into account and assist us in our actions. , we need a lot of manpower. After all, we are not dealing with ordinary Japanese soldiers. These people move around in plain clothes and can be defined as spies. It’s up to you to ask for instructions, and if you think it’s inappropriate, I’ll think of other ways.”

"It's done very well. This is the only feasible way for us now. If we don't get any support, we won't be able to continue. During this period of time, I also indirectly received some new clues during the interrogation. The news from Shanghai is that the little devils hope to change our luck by destroying the direction of our mountains and rivers. They can't take advantage of the battlefield, so they want to use this method to change their luck. In fact, it is the previous dragon vein destruction and sealing plan We just invested more energy and manpower. We want to prevent them from going deep into the rear and organize their actions in the Japanese-occupied areas. This time they have invested more spies who are proficient in Chinese to participate. , before I came back, Shangfeng talked to me and asked me to find a way to deal with this matter. Just say what you need. In short, we have to stop the little devil. You must know that this kind of damage is not only in Feng Shui, but also in military affairs These scattered and infiltrating teams are likely to become spies to detect our military deployment while wreaking havoc. We must be prepared." Si Xuanyi took a deep breath, "Whether they can destroy the dragon's veins is another matter. During this process, they are likely to find many ancient tombs. We can't let the things inside fall into their hands. Some things are unique in the world. We can't take advantage of these little ghosts. We must not only stop them, but also kill them all. "

The situation is deteriorating, and it seems that the future work will become more and more difficult. Facing the madness of the Japanese army, they have no other better way. It's not that easy to deal with. After going through so many missions, they are very clear about this. Although they made a few surprise moves to take advantage of it and killed a lot of little devils, judging from the situation of protecting treasures all over the country On the whole, they are still at a disadvantage, and countless treasure guard teams have been wiped out. It is impossible to change this situation under the current situation. After all, it takes time to form a professional team, whether it is It takes time to select talents, train them, and train them in actual combat, but now they just lack such time. The Japanese may have been planning for these for several years or even ten years or even longer, and they can only face difficulties and approach them Fight with the Japanese.

Now their state is empty inside, almost everyone has been taken away, only Si Xuanyi, Li Siming and Ye Feng who just came back in the headquarters, except for a few of them, everyone went outside to complete the tasks in various places , Ye Feng brought 18 people with him when he left, and when he came back, there were only seven people including him, including four wounded soldiers. The Jade Cauldron of the dynasty is definitely a priceless good thing. Of course, all the little devils to be dealt with in this mission were killed by them. It was re-sealed. In order to prevent the Japanese from appearing again, they even blew up half of the mountain as a new seal for the entire mausoleum.

"Good job." Si Xuanyi was very satisfied with Ye Feng's performance. He was the fastest growing among all the rookies. In such a short time, he had already become the backbone of the team. He is also quite helpless about this. Talents are rare, and sometimes you can’t find them no matter how you look for them. Many talents are discovered inadvertently, just like Ye Feng when he joined the team When he was ugly, no one took him seriously, but now he has become the second only to Lin Feng in the whole team.
