Spy Shadow

Chapter 324 Resigning as webmaster

The arrested Chu Lingyun and the arrested Xie Zhenyuan knew what was going on, but others did not.

Seeing so many soldiers rushing in, Guangzhou Station suddenly became chaotic, and Xie Zikai even ran all the way to Xie Zhenyuan's office.

"Station Commander, there are soldiers, there are soldiers rushing in."

"You're in a panic, how can you behave like this? I'm not blind, I can see it."

Xie Zhenyuan glared at him. Chu Lingyun had already gathered the soldiers outside and walked towards them.

"Stationmaster, they are here."

Deputy station chief Wang Yongyuan hurried over, and many people gathered in front of the window, watching Chu Lingyun leading a group of soldiers with guns to the station chief's office.

"I know."

Xie Zhenyuan didn't panic. He understood the situation and knew that nothing would happen to him.

But the process must be followed. Now the decision-maker is no longer Chu Lingyun, but Virgo, and he is cooperating with Virgo.

"Stationmaster, I'll stop them."

Xie Zikai gritted his teeth, took out his pistol, loaded the bullet, and rushed out after saying that.

"Come back and die."

Xie Zhenyuan scolded, walked over, took the gun back from his hand, and pulled out the bullet.

"Don't panic, it's okay. This is Virgo's order. We just have to obey it. No matter what Chu Lingyun does next, you will cooperate well."

Xie Zhenyuan consoled him, while Xie Zikai and Wang Yongyun were dumbfounded. Why did it become an order from Virgo and ask them to cooperate with Chu Lingyun?

Before they had time to ask clearly, Chu Lingyun led people to the door.

"According to the order of the director, Xie Zhenyuan, the station chief of Guangzhou Station, did not perform well. He was removed from his position as station chief and was detained on the spot. Inspector Chu Lingyun was temporarily appointed as station chief."

Chu Lingyun said coldly, Xie Zikai, Wang Yongyun stood there in a daze, it was really an order from Virgo, the stationmaster already knew it?

Now that you know, why not take some precautions?

"I'm sorry to trouble Station Master Chu."

Xie Zhenyuan smiled and clasped his fists, not looking like a prisoner at all, and even changed his title directly.

"I don't dare. Thank you, stationmaster, for your good tactics. I admire you."

Chu Lingyun said lightly that he understood what Xie Zhenyuan meant. The so-called trouble meant helping him take care of his home and that he would come back.

"There is no other way. I have heard about Station Commander Chu's clever methods. I can only protect myself."

Xie Zhenyuan smiled and allowed Ni Loach's leader to grab his arm and take him away.

Virgo's request was to put Xie Zhenyuan under house arrest on the spot. Chu Lingyun locked Xie Zhenyuan in Guangzhou Station and asked Ni Loach to send someone to guard him. As long as he stayed in the room and did not go out, he could do whatever he wanted.

Apart from removing the phone, nothing else in the room was touched.

In the torture room, Chu Lingyun sat at the interrogation table, and opposite him was Wang Yongyun.

After Xie Zhenyuan was arrested, all the senior executives of Guangzhou Station were restricted to the office and were not allowed to go out or make phone calls. They couldn't make any calls even if they wanted to. The phones had been controlled by Chu Lingyun's orders.

The first person to be interrogated was Wang Yongyun, who had the highest position. It was impossible to hide what Xie Zhenyuan had done from him.

"When did Xie Zhenyuan start smuggling? What did he smuggle? Who was the buyer? And who took his money?"

Chu Lingyun asked slowly. Wang Yongyun was silent for a while and then spoke.

Before Xie Zhenyuan was arrested, he ordered them to cooperate with Chu Lingyun. Although he didn't know why Xie Zhenyuan did this, he could only obey this order at this time.

If he disobeys orders, he will only suffer.

Wang Yongyun recruited him. Xie Zhenyuan's smuggling business started soon after he became the director of the Anti-Smuggling Division. For almost three years, he mainly smuggled tobacco, which was highly profitable and easy to sell.

Many people in the Military Intelligence Department received benefits, including him.

But he didn't know who the specific buyer was. Xie Zhenyuan was in charge, and they didn't ask.

Wang Yongyun signed the document and was put in a cell.

The person who was immediately interrogated was Xie Zikai. Xie Zikai was very honest and knew more than Wang Yongyun, but he also had no idea who the buyer was. Only Hao Wenzhu knew all the buyers.

Shen Hanwen and Liang Yu received the order, and after waiting for Ni Loach to bring people to support, they immediately took action and captured Hao Wenzhu and many people.

Hao Wenzhu was young and very beautiful. When he was brought into the interrogation room, he didn't panic at all. He said whatever was asked, and even proactively provided his account books.

Chu Lingyun got the buyer's information and verified it one by one.

Three days later, Xie Zhenyuan's smuggling case was completely clear. He sold more than just cigarettes, but he sold the largest amount of cigarettes. The rest of the items were mostly in-demand goods and there were no contraband.

Among the buyers were neither Japanese nor Red Party members.

No one in the Guangzhou Station was involved in smuggling, but there were many people who knew about it. The top brass all knew that Xie Zhenyuan used money to silence them and got benefits. They didn't care about what Xie Zhenyuan did.

And they helped Xie Zhenyuan cover as much as possible.

Xie Zhenyuan did not live alone and treated his subordinates well. He had high prestige at Guangzhou Station. However, after being arrested this time, many people really thought that Xie Zhenyuan had fallen and Chu Lingyun would probably stay and become their new station manager.

Some speculators took the opportunity to pledge their allegiance to Chu Lingyun, hoping to benefit themselves from this great change.

Chu Lingyun did not agree, but found out some things from their mouths.

But they were all minor problems and could not cause any harm to Xie Zhenyuan.

"Send the report."

After finding out the situation, Chu Lingyun handed the written report to Ni Loach and asked him to send it to the headquarters.

There is a lot of content and it took more than an hour to post.

In Nanjing, Secretary Qi hurried to the office full of people with a long message.

Xie Zhenyuan has indeed smuggled a lot of things in the past few years. The total amount in the past three years has exceeded one million. Especially this year, before the end of the year, the smuggling amount has already exceeded 500,000.

Many people in Guangzhou took advantage of Xie Zhenyuan and turned a blind eye to his smuggling.

Virgo doesn't care about this, and is relieved to see that there is nothing other than smuggling.

"Call Chu Lingyun back. Xie Zhenyuan's case is strictly confidential and must not be leaked. In addition, let him let Xie Zhenyuan go."

"yes."

Secretary Qi lowered his head and exited the office to send a report to Chu Lingyun.

Xie Zhenyuan cannot remain locked up, and his smuggling business cannot be stopped. Now this business no longer belongs to him, but Virgo will not be directly involved to avoid giving people clues.

Xie Zhenyuan, the webmaster, was soon reinstated.

Not only was Xie Zhenyuan released, but Shang Laowu who was imprisoned at the headquarters was also released, and his twenty silver notes were taken away by Secretary Qi.

After learning that Virgo had received the money, Shang Laowu finally felt relieved.

Now that the master is safe, his future business will be more secure. After all, he has another backstage, and it is still a very powerful one.

In Guangzhou, Xie Zhenyuan walked out of the house where he was temporarily detained, smiling.

The weather today is very good, the sky is clear and blue, and the clouds are not stained.

"Thank you stationmaster, I'll take you home."

The person who came to pick up Xie Zhenyuan was Director Huang. Many senior officials at Guangzhou Station were still in jail and had not been released.

"Thank you."

Xie Zhenyuan nodded slightly. After learning that Xie Zhenyuan was released, many people in Guangzhou Station were shocked, especially those who had taken the initiative to seek refuge with Chu Lingyun in the past few days.

The deputy webmaster, intelligence team, action team, general affairs team and other team leaders were arrested. Many people were eyeing the vacant positions. As a result, Chu Lingyun, the new webmaster, was not appointed.

In the past few days, Chu Lingyun only maintained order and did not make any arrangements or changes in personnel matters.

Chu Lingyun knew very well that his role as acting webmaster was to prevent chaos at Guangzhou Station. He had the right to appoint people, but Xie Zhenyuan would get rid of the person he appointed.

No matter who he promotes or appoints at this time, he will be harmed.

As for those who took the initiative to seek refuge, they were speculators themselves. Chu Lingyun did not force them. It was their own choice and they could only bear the consequences themselves.

"Team leader, let him go just like that?"

In the webmaster's office, Chu Lingyun was at the window, watching Director Huang send Xie Zhenyuan away.

Loach stood behind him, indignant.

Xie Zhenyuan smuggled tobacco and the amount of money was huge. He smuggled more than one million yuan in just three years. Now the evidence is conclusive, but Virgo asked them to let him go.

When he arrested Xie Zhenyuan before, he still thought that he could conduct a good raid on his home.

"What can we do if we don't let him go? None of these old foxes are easy to deal with. Xie Zhenyuan's matter is in the past."

Chu Lingyun turned around and shook his head slightly.

After being appointed as acting webmasters, Ni Loach and Shen Hanwen wanted to change their names and call them webmaster Chu Lingyun.

It would be good if he could stay in Guangzhou Station. Ni Loach's military rank is a bit low, but being a team leader is no problem. He and Shen Hanwen have discussed it, and he will be the intelligence team leader, while Shen Hanwen will be the operations team leader.

In the end, neither of them got what they wanted, and Chu Lingyun refused to let them change their words and still called them team leader.

If you only work as a webmaster for a few days, there is no need to go there.

"Pack it up, we're leaving soon."

Chu Lingyun said to Ni Loach, who was startled: "Let's go, where are we going?"

"Continue patrolling."

Chu Lingyun dropped the words and returned to his desk. This was Xie Zhenyuan's office. He had not touched the things inside and they remained as they were.

"Inspection, what about Guangzhou Station?"

Ni Loach was stunned. He had not heard that the headquarters had appointed a new station chief. Last time in Changsha, after they arrested Zhao Tianxi, Deputy Chief Yuan was immediately appointed as the station chief of Changsha Station.

There was no one sent from above this time. Ni Loach really thought that Chu Lingyun would stay, otherwise he would not discuss his position with Shen Hanwen.

"Give it back to Xie Zhenyuan."

Chu Lingyun didn't even raise his head, Loach couldn't see clearly, but he had long understood that Xie Zhenyuan would probably come back in the next two days, release his imprisoned men, and continue to be his station chief.

"Give it back to him? Then our work was not in vain?"

Loach exclaimed, Chu Lingyun ignored him, the matter in Guangzhou was over, and he would go to Yunnan and Guizhou next, and then Sichuan.

It’s good to go to Sichuan. I just take this opportunity to visit my parents. Chu Lingyun hasn’t seen them for a long time.

But before leaving, he had one more thing to do.

Visit Chen Mutu and thank him for his care last time.

Chu Lingyun already knew about the garrison of the 77th Regiment, and understood that it was Chen Mutu's protection for him. Although he did not really use it, he made his attitude clear and told Xie Zhenyuan to use a taboo weapon and not dare to attack him.

With this favor in mind, Chu Lingyun went out in the afternoon and came to Chen Mutu's mansion.

Chen Shouquan came out to pick him up. He went to Shanghai and successfully withdrew 200,000 US dollars of sulfa, which filled several cars. He had food in his hands and was not worried. With so much sulfa, Chen Mutu was very confident.

"General Chen, thank you for your support this time."

Seeing Chen Mutu, Chu Lingyun immediately cupped his fists and thanked him. Chen Mutu smiled and said, "It's a small matter, let's sit down and talk about it."

The low-priced sulfa that Chu Lingyun gave him made him a lot of money. The sulfa for 200,000 US dollars was sold for 100,000 US dollars as soon as it arrived in Guangzhou, recovering half of the cost.

Chen Muchu gave it to others in large quantities and sold it at a low price, which was just doubled.

It is equivalent to saying that if he sells all these sulfonamides, he can earn at least 200,000 US dollars. Chen Mutu is very satisfied that he can make so much money just by doing nothing.

"I may have to leave Guangzhou in the next two days, so I would like to say goodbye to you."

Chu Lingyun said softly. Chen Mutu was not surprised at all and nodded lightly: "I don't ask about your affairs. It's okay to leave. You have the ability. Staying in Guangzhou may not be a good thing."

Xie Zhenyuan was arrested and released, and Chen Mutu knew about it.

He had been paying attention to Chu Lingyun, and everything about the Guangzhou Station of the Military Intelligence Department could not be hidden from him. Although his research department had not yet appeared, he had already had his own intelligence personnel.

As a soldier, he understands the importance of intelligence.

After Xie Zhenyuan was released, he guessed what was going on. If it weren't for Chu Lingyun, he wouldn't pay attention at all, and naturally he wouldn't care.

Chu Lingyun, the acting station chief, is probably about to leave his post. He is originally an inspector of the Military Intelligence Department and has to perform previous tasks. Chen Mutu expected to leave Guangzhou.

"Don't worry, the second batch of goods will arrive in more than a month at the earliest and up to three months at the earliest."

Chu Lingyun understood what Chen Mutu was most concerned about, but what Chen Mutu didn't know was that after sending his $200,000, Chu Lingyun had already recovered his capital.

Including scattered sales, as well as Lin Shi and Wang Yuemin's payment and re-delivery of goods, he now has almost three hundred thousand US dollars in his bank account.

The money will then be remitted to U.S. pharmaceutical companies for them to ship the goods.

Chu Lingyun will not pay it all in one go, the risk is too great.

The remittance does not require him to send someone to the United States to pick up the goods, which would be too time-consuming. He remits it in batches, and then remits another batch after receiving it. This can not only ensure a continuous supply of goods, but also share risks.

"Okay, give me a call or send a telegram when you arrive, and I'll ask Shouquan to pick up the goods."

Chen Mutu responded that he could have as many life-saving drugs as sulfonamides as he wanted. With his status, he would not have to worry about selling them, and he could make a good profit later.

No one thinks too much money, and Chen Mutu is no exception.

The next day, the Guangzhou Station received a message from the Nanjing Military Intelligence Office, removing Chu Lingyun from the position of acting station chief of the Guangzhou Station. Patrols continued, and the station chief was restored to Xie Zhenyuan.

This order caused an explosion at Guangzhou Station.

The webmaster will change as soon as he says, and come back as soon as he says, many people secretly regret, why should they show off during this period? If webmaster Xie finds out, will they be able to reap the benefits in the future?

Especially those people who openly took refuge in Chu Lingyun, their hearts were filled with regret.

They wanted Chu Lingyun to take them away, but Chu Lingyun refused.

Chu Lingyun didn't have a good impression of these people. They were just speculating, but the speculation failed. Since it was their own choice, they had to bear the consequences themselves.
