HPDBC Chapter 71 Internal Strife, Piled Up Like a Small Mountain!
Chapter 71 Internal Strife, Piled Up Like a Small Mountain!
While the training in Yaogang Village was in full swing, the situation in Shanghai, hundreds of kilometers away, was also changing rapidly, with undercurrents surging.
The Bureau of Investigation and Statistics' action team searched the station for the mole and interrogated all the suspects.
However, without concrete evidence, one cannot arbitrarily torture a colleague.
Once suspicion is raised, torture is used; the Party's intelligence bureau doesn't even need to intervene to destroy oneself.
Although Xiong Baitao used the pretext of investigation to eliminate dissidents, he did not dare to defy public opinion.
So they acted with some discretion, isolating and investigating several "suspicious" individuals.
Despite the fact that the individuals kept protesting their innocence after being isolated and investigated, Xiong Baitao simply laughed it off.
Because the so-called suspected communist sympathies of those people were framed by his own people.
No one knew better than him how wronged they were.
However, these people were the confidants of the head of the intelligence department and the director of the secretariat, blocking his path to promotion.
Even if they can't be eliminated, and are eventually proven innocent and released, they should still take advantage of the quarantine period to do something shady.
At the very least, we must make the head of the intelligence department and the director of the secretariat suspicious of these trusted confidants.
Once a rift develops, it becomes very difficult to regain trust.
Even if these people are cleared of suspicion, they will never regain trust.
This shift in power weakens the opponent's strength.
He was determined to get the position of deputy stationmaster!
Because only by first securing the position of deputy stationmaster can one have the opportunity to succeed the stationmaster after two years when the stationmaster is transferred!
The Shanghai Station of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics was a top-tier station, and the station chief held the rank of major general!
Major General – that's a hurdle many people can't overcome in their entire lives.
Now that the opportunity is right in front of them, it naturally attracts several people to compete for it.
The vacancy of the deputy station chief position may also be a reflection of Xu Hongchuan's method of managing his subordinates.
The internal strife at Shanghai Station actually relieved a lot of pressure on the underground party.
Du Hengtai was adept at social maneuvering and thrived in Shanghai, even becoming friends with Xu Hongchuan, the station manager.
The warehouse in the Triangle area was safer not only because the inspection team dared not touch it, but even the most domineering secret agents of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics kept their distance.
夜晚
Lin Wan changed into a shirt, riding breeches, and imported leather boots, and her fashionable outfit made her look like someone who wasn't an ordinary person.
Her Western-style attire also suited her identity as a well-known journalist.
Holding a camera in his hand, he would occasionally take a few photos on the streets of the Triangle Area.
To outsiders, it seemed she had come at night specifically to film news footage.
It can also be considered a record of the lives of ordinary people living in the Triangle Area.
Lin Wan walked casually down the street, but out of the corner of her eye, she was observing her surroundings.
After confirming that he was not being followed, he quickened his pace to cross the road and head towards the warehouse on the other side.
Creak!
I had just reached the door and hadn't even raised my hand to knock when the heavy iron door was opened from the inside.
It was obvious that someone had been on duty all along and had seen her long ago.
Therefore, opening the door first saves time waiting at the door and reduces the possibility of exposure.
"Comrade Lin Wan, you've arrived!" Du Hengtai had been waiting for a long time, keeping track of the time.
Upon seeing the beautiful figure walking in through the main gate, he immediately greeted her with a smile.
He then made several hand gestures, raising the alert level to the highest level.
Machine guns were also set up at higher positions.
In the event of an emergency, they will do everything possible to hinder the enemy and buy time to evacuate.
If they are surrounded and have no way out, they will all have to sacrifice themselves to buy Lin Wan time to travel through time.
Once Lin Wan successfully travels to 2025 and escapes danger, their mission will be complete.
Of course, although these were the most trustworthy warriors, they were not told about the time travel.
These soldiers only knew that their mission was very important, as it was related to the future construction and development of the new China!
So even if it costs me my life, I will fight to the very last moment!
Fortunately, the current state of panic in Shanghai, with even the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics preoccupied with internal strife, has reduced their risk of exposure.
Lin Wan, with a camera hanging around her neck, followed the path to the underground warehouse.
"Old Du, is everything ready?"
"Don't worry, everything you asked for is ready."
"Is that enough money? Or should I give you another ten silver dollars?"
"That's enough! Those things are worthless. You can buy a whole bunch for just one silver dollar; you won't be able to spend them all!"
"Oh, if it's not enough, could you please lend me some? I'll give you back one hundred silver dollars when I get my salary at the end of the month!"
"good!"
The two walked side by side down to the basement.
The vegetables and meats mentioned during the trip were all arranged by Du Hengtai.
After all, there are many people in the warehouse, including accountants, porters, and guards, so it's normal for them to buy more vegetables at once.
If Lin Wan went to buy it alone, it usually wouldn't arouse suspicion.
But with so many things, it's inconvenient for her to carry them all.
Since we'll eventually come to this new time travel point, the warehouse, we might as well have Du Hengtai buy it and leave it here.
You can bring it with you when you travel through time.
Click~.
The basement door was pushed open, and lights illuminated the spacious area.
At this moment, a two-square-meter cubicle made of wooden planks has appeared in the underground corner.
That was specially built for Lin Wan when she traveled through time, as a way to give her a private space.
From now on, every time I come back, I'll appear in the cubicle, so that if anything happens, it won't be awkward.
In the middle of the basement, fruits and vegetables were neatly piled up.
There are fresh, crisp Chinese cabbages, freshly pulled radishes, and a wide variety of other green vegetables such as chives, cucumbers, and scallions.
They were all bundled with straw and stacked neatly together, looking like a small hill.
Although it looks like a lot, it didn't actually cost much.
After all, the current inflation in Shanghai only means that the gold yuan is worthless, but the purchasing power of silver dollars is still very strong.
When the vendors heard that their big customers were buying a lot and paying with silver dollars and coins, they were delighted and gave them a discount.
What is a considerable expense for ordinary people is nothing for high-income journalists.
Lin Wan looked at the pile of fruits and vegetables, her big eyes curving into crescents with laughter.
Bringing these things along will allow me to repay some of the favors I owe.
She remembered everything Chen Huai'an bought her—clothes, cosmetics.
If she didn't lack an ID card, she would have liked to work odd jobs there to earn money to pay off her debts.
As for the money from selling antiques and medicinal herbs, that's part of the organization's funds and can only be used for purchasing supplies.
Although she comes from a well-off family and has been accustomed to enjoying good things since studying abroad, she values self-reliance and supporting herself with her own money.
So when he saw the vegetables that Lao Du had bought with his salary, he couldn't help but smile.
With a thought, he placed the wild boar meat in the pile of vegetables and then put it all into the Time-Space Treasure Chest.
He nodded and walked into the set-up cubicle.
I took a deep breath and set this door as the crossing anchor point.
In an instant, the space outside the door transformed into the cosmos.
One step in, and they vanished into thin air.
However, from the outside, the cubicle door did not move, and there was no sound from inside.
Du Hengtai stood outside for a full ten minutes before cautiously asking, "Comrade Qingzhu, are you still there?"
