The five-story building that Yellow River Trading sold to the Intelligence Department was labeled "Golden Chrysanthemum Trading Company" by its external sign.
At nightfall, the lights in the study on the fifth floor are bright.
There were four people in the study, Lu Ming, Lu Gaoyi, Lao Catfish, and Fu Mo Si.
Lao Catfish was originally in charge of the entire United Matrix intelligence organization. He was also the vice chairman of the board of directors of the Yellow River Trading Company.
Now, Lu Ming wants Lao Catfish to completely divest the intelligence organization and the Yellow River Trading Company.
At the same time, the southern part of the intelligence system was handed over to Fu Mo Si, and the northern part, including the five provinces of Jiangnan, was handed over to Lu Gaoyi's intelligence department.
In fact, the intelligence organization of the Joint Matrix is only in its infancy and is not large in scale.
But Lu Gaoyi was still a little dumbfounded. It sounded like Big Daddy’s intelligence network had branches in more than a dozen major cities in the four provinces of the Northern Territory, including Xin’an City. At that time, Big Daddy had not yet become the number one military and political figure in Black Mountain. This…
Shemos' eyes flickered. She was originally sent by her master, Miss Christine, to help Master Lu with prosecution matters. She entered Master Lu's office and served as the director of the investigation department.
But unexpectedly, Young Master Lu was really not shy. It was obvious that the study was full of Young Master Lu's confidants, and there were some secrets involving Young Master Lu, which even the young lady did not know.
Lu Ming looked at her and said with a smile: "Our southern intelligence network, especially the Greifenni states, is basically blank. Everything depends on you! You are a detective. Although intelligence work is different from detective work, you will definitely be able to get started quickly. I believe you have the ability."
"Master, don't worry!" Shemos nodded.
Lu Ming looked at Lao Catfish again and said with a smile: "From now on, you should focus on taking care of the military base in the Western Region."
The military base in the Western Oil City and the Black Mountain Military Base are now the two major camps of the United Matrix's elite forces.
"It seems that the Sonya people are going to impose heavy taxes on strategic resource companies in the west, and they are sending observers to control them..." The old catfish looked worried, "Although the oil city is in the westernmost part of the Western Region city-state, it is still far away from the area controlled by the Sonya people, but what about in one or two years? I am afraid..."
Lu Ming waved his hand: "We still have to give appropriate benefits. I'll think of a way to deal with this later."
Seeing Lu Ming's confident expression, Lao Catfish felt relieved. Although his boss was young, he was making progress step by step, like a man chosen by God. He was afraid that sooner or later he would be able to establish his own territory and become one of the princes of the empire.
After thinking for a while, he said, "What about the Rangers? Don't we really need to arrange for someone to do it?"
In the eleven largest cities in the Northern Territory, Lao Catfish found ways to set up intelligence stations. Being a northerner himself, he was quite adept at the task.
Xin'an City is extremely prosperous, even not inferior to the provincial capital of Longbei. It is definitely one of the top five cities among the four provinces in the northern region.
Lao Catfish has had an intelligence station here for a long time. The five-story building where he is currently located was originally the Yellow River Trading Company.
The intelligence personnel here have just received news that a special operations team of more than a dozen well-armed people has arrived from Nanping City and has checked into the Marshall Hotel with unclear intentions.
Although it has not entered the concession, it is related to recent events.
It is not ruled out that the special operations team from Nanping came to assassinate their boss.
The boss met with the Japanese, so the news about the boss in the Xin'an Concession was passed on by the Japanese to the ears of Nanping warlord Gao Baoshan
Gao Baoshan, who intended to get involved in Montenegro, was worried that he could not find any trouble. If he eliminated his boss, the military and political leader of Montenegro, in the Xin'an Concession, Montenegro would soon fall into chaos and he would have a great opportunity.
Therefore, it is not ruled out that the target of this special operations team is his own boss, and the possibility is probably not small.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Well, don't worry about that ranger team."
As she spoke, she giggled, the study door opened, and a red cloud floated in. It was Liuli.
Lu Gaoyi stood up quickly and said respectfully: "Sixteenth Master!"
Lu Ming smiled at Lao Catfish and Fu Mosi: "This is Liuli, you haven't seen it yet."
Lao Catfish also stood up and followed Lu Gaoyi's call, "Sixteenth Lady."
"Sixteenth Lady!" The one with the silly voice was Fu Mo Si. She was very meticulous, but she looked very rough, with a fat mountain-like body and a very rough voice.
Lu Ming stood up and said, "If you can't find me in the future, Fu Mosi, Lu Gaoyi, you can just give Liuli the emergency information. She has been stationed in Shili Villa and No. 9 Zhenjiang Normal Road for a long time. You can talk to Liuli about the situation of the organization. I will handle my own affairs."
Everyone stood up straight to see him off respectfully, and Lu Gaoyi bowed with his butt high in the air until "Big Dad"'s feet disappeared outside the study.
…
In the afternoon, the Xin'an Morning Post published a special issue, reporting the horrific murder that occurred at the Marshall Hotel last night. Late at night, more than a dozen guests were lying in a pool of blood in two suites, all of whom were stabbed in vital parts by sharp knives. The horrific scene was not discovered until ten o'clock in the morning when the waiter cleaned the room.
When the newspaper was delivered, Lu Ming was reading a telegram in his hand. It was a message from Gao Dazhen, deputy director of the Nanping City Security Bureau, who had gone to Heishan to clear up the matter of the detention of Ma Rulong and several other Security Bureau agents.
Taking the newspaper from Yu Luan, Lu Ming glanced at it and smiled: "You went there with your wife yesterday, right? Liuli didn't do anything, right?"
It was Liuli who led the Qing'es in a night attack to eliminate this commando group.
He originally didn't want Liuli to go because they were women, and he didn't want them to continue to have lives on their hands.
Biju can't take care of herself, so she can only take care of Liuli.
But Liuli said that she would watch it personally to prevent the Qing'es from getting hurt accidentally, and she would not take action unless it was absolutely necessary.
Yu Luan whispered, "Yes, Madam didn't do anything."
Looking at Yu Luan's expression, he knew that what she said was not entirely true. Lu Ming was helpless. This Liuli was not someone who was easy to control.
"Master, it's a call from Asaba Nagamasa." Heitou knocked on the door and came in with the phone.
…
The Japanese-style wooden house has cherry trees and bamboo springs outside the open lattice door, creating a very quiet environment.
Lu Ming sat cross-legged on the tatami. Opposite the low table, the old man in a dark brown kimono was Asaba Nagamasa.
"I was just saying I want to go back to Montenegro. I have almost finished dealing with the affairs here. There are still many things to do in Montenegro." Lu Ming said with a smile while sipping his tea.
"Of course I know that Commissioner Lu is very busy with official duties. If I didn't have a special gift for Commissioner Lu, I wouldn't dare to invite you here!" Asaba Nagamasa said this, clapping his hands lightly.
The grille door inside was opened, and Lu Ming turned his head and was slightly startled.
Tied up with ropes, there was a skinny old man kneeling and sitting there. It was none other than the old jackal.
However, the old jackal looked much older.
Even though he was a prisoner when he was arrested last time, his aura was still there, and he seemed to be looking down on everything.
But now, his hair has turned gray and is not well taken care of. The mess makes him look very old and he looks half dead.
"Commissioner Lu, I know he is your mortal enemy, and you were the one who wiped out the Jackal Gang."
"He fled to the north and was captured by the government. Now I hand him over to you. He has committed many crimes in Montenegro. You should take him to Montenegro and bring him to justice!"
Asaba Nagamasa smiled and also looked at Lu Ming's expression.
Lu Ming was somewhat helpless. Many things were just rumors in the outside world. Now it was true that in the outside world, the demise of the Jackal Gang was one of his great contributions.
Even the fact that he took the old jackal's wife as his concubine was once gossip that well-informed people talked about with relish.
Looking at Asaba Nagamasa's slightly ambiguous expression when he talked about the grievances between himself and the old jackal, it was obvious that he had also heard of this rumor.
He and the old jackal were sworn enemies, and it was also related to their fight over women.
Of course, Asaba Nagamasa would never have thought that the Ruri he had met in the casino was the heroine in the gossip.
"Thank you Mr. Qianyu!" Lu Ming smiled.
Obviously, the Nanping Rangers were completely wiped out last night, which made him more valuable in Asaba Nagamasa's eyes.
However, although this old fox wanted to win me over, he would not really give me any real benefits until he was sure that I could really cooperate with him as a pawn.
And giving the old jackal, which he considered worthless, to himself was obviously a profitable deal.
"Commissioner Lu, our Qianmei Corporation is also interested in investing in Montenegro. It is one of the most famous mining areas in the empire. But Commissioner Lu knew the situation there before, and no investor dared to go there. Now Commissioner Lu is in charge of the military and political affairs of Montenegro, so the atmosphere is naturally different. I intend to go there to investigate in a few days!" Asaba Nagamasa smiled and said, "I hope Commissioner Lu will make it easier for me."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Mr. Qianyu is always welcome to visit us."
