At around six in the morning of the next day, District 1, Washington.
Early in the morning, Liu Qi returned to the headquarters of the Wei'an Association. He wore a neat suit and had a neat side parting. He walked to the president's office and knocked on the door.
“Boom boom boom!”
"Come in!"
Hearing the voice coming from inside, Liu Qi pushed the door open and walked in, bending over and saying, "President, are you busy?"
"I just had a meeting with the higher-ups, and they assigned us a task. I'm working on it." Kong Zhenghui sat alone in the office, wearing a pair of thin-framed glasses, leaning over the table, processing a document: "Come, sit down."
"Okay, okay."
Liu Qi walked closer, bent down and sat on the chair.
Kong Zhenghui finished processing the documents and stuffed them into the drawer. Then he looked up at Liu Qi and asked, "Have you finished what you are doing?"
This glance made Liu Qi shudder in his heart. Maybe it was just a psychological effect, but he always felt that since Kong Zhenghui became the president of the Security Association, his eyes always had some indescribable haze, which made people feel scared.
"Not yet. Since you were looking for me, I hurried back." Liu Qi wiped the sweat from his palms on his pants and began to explain.
"So..." Kong Zhenghui nodded gently, looked Liu Qi up and down, and asked again: "How is your child?"
Liu Qi quickly said, "It's much better now. My mother-in-law has been watching over me."
"That's good." Kong Zhenghui picked up the cup, took a sip of coffee, and whispered, "Select one hundred people from our Security Association. They should have a decent image, be eloquent, and be able to cooperate with the leaders in speaking. There will be an event in two days. Do you understand me?"
"Yes!" Liu Qi immediately stood up and responded.
Kong Zhenghui waved his hand and said, "Don't be so nervous, go and get ready."
Liu Qi did not leave, but said hesitantly: "Um... President, I have something else..."
"Hmm?" Kong Zhenghui couldn't help but put down his coffee cup when he heard this, raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
"President, this is it..." Liu Qi leaned forward slightly, smiling, and said, "I haven't been here for the past two days because I was pursuing a line. Now I finally have some results. I thought that it would be a good opportunity for me to come back this time to report this matter to you..."
Kong Zhenghui stepped in and looked at him, then asked, "What results?"
"I have an informant who has a very reliable relationship." Liu Qi leaned his elbows on the table, leaning as close to Kong Zhenghui as possible and said, "This person has connections in the National Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and he is doing quite well. According to what I know, his team is currently planning how to rescue Wen Xiaorou. After all, Zhou Tonghui is gone, and the National Bureau of Investigation and Statistics still has to make some achievements. However, this informant told me that they know very little about Wen Xiaorou, because this woman is controlled by our Military and Political Council, leaving them with no chance at all. There has been no results, and no effective plan has been proposed. They are very anxious now, and the pressure from above is not small."
"So..." Kong Zhenghui thought for a moment and asked, "Then what do you think about this?"
Liu Qi then continued, "President, I think we can make use of this Wen Xiaorou! Find a way to bring Wen Xiaorou to our side and spread some news to the outside world. My brother is specifically after Wen Xiaorou. As long as the news gets out, he will definitely be used! We just need to lure them in and set a trap, and these people will take the bait. When the time comes, we will catch them all in one fell swoop, and we will have achieved our work results."
Kong Zhenghui thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Wen Xiaorou is not easy to deal with. She is under the control of the Military and Political Council. It is unlikely that we can get her out."
Liu Qi said hurriedly, "President, we won't borrow too much, just a few days... If it doesn't work, two days is fine, just to spread the word outside and make the other party take action. If you are really worried, you can ask their people to follow. If they don't trust us, can they not trust their own people? As long as I, the informant, am used and act as an insider in this matter, we will definitely be able to catch some big fish!"
Kong Zhenghui lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something, and said nothing.
"President, think about it..." Liu Qi continued to lower his body and said to him: "If we can get this done before Kang Dinghuang comes back, the report card that the Wei'an Association can produce will be different..."
Kong Zhenghui stared at Liu Qi and made eye contact with him. The latter had a flattering smile on his face and bent his body even more.
After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Kong Zhenghui said softly: "If you only borrow it for two days... it shouldn't be a big problem... Are you sure you can get results with this line?"
"Sure!" Liu Qi nodded and said, "This is a very important line. I have been nurturing it."
When Kong Zhenghui heard this, he asked cautiously, "Who is this person?"
Liu Qi immediately explained, "This guy is called Feng Hao. He used to work at the dock. Later, we joined the association together. We got along well. Later, I followed you and he joined the Bureau of General Affairs. As you know, life is not easy there now. My buddy had had enough of it. He heard that I was doing well in District 1, so he wanted to come over."
Kong Zhenghui nodded gently: "Okay, I understand, let me think about it."
"Okay." Liu Qi added, "If you decide to activate this line, please let me know in advance so I can let him know."
"Okay, go ahead."
"Uh-huh."
Liu Qi bowed and turned to leave. Kong Zhenghui stared at his departing figure with a gloomy look.
“Squeak—”
Soon, Liu Qi walked out of the door with a pale face and came to the corridor. His tense expression immediately collapsed and he couldn't help but let out a long breath.
In the office, Kong Zhenghui tapped the table rhythmically with his fingers. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly picked up the phone and called the Intelligence Department of the Qingyi Bureau. He said straight to the point, "I asked you to investigate Liu Qi's communication records. Did you get any results?"
The other party replied: "I checked it, everything is normal."
Kong Zhenghui thought for a moment and asked, "What about his wife's?"
The other party said again: "There is nothing unusual. The recent call records are all with his mother-in-law, and they are quite frequent."
"Okay, thank you." Kong Zhenghui was polite for a moment, and continued, "There is one more thing I want to tell you. I have a line here, and I need to borrow Wen Xiaorou. Transfer her over. It will take about two days."
… … …
There will be more later!
