One day later.
A team from the Tsing Yi Bureau's Operations Division arrived in Manchester by plane and was taken to the Fifth Division headquarters by Gwen's men.
A little after one in the afternoon.
After the meeting, Gwen met the people from the Green Uniform Bureau in the office.
"Hello, Director Gwen, I am the captain of a small team in the Operations Department of the Blue Uniform Bureau. My name is Li Xinghai." The person from the Blue Uniform Bureau extended his hand.
Gwen, for Kang Dinghuang's sake, smiled and shook hands with Li Xinghai, and took the initiative to say, "Please sit down!"
"good!"
Li Xinghai bent down and sat down, and went straight to the point: "Director Gwen, we came here mainly to discuss Liu Cong's problem. These are some documents we got from the confidential department, including the review of Liu Cong and some records of the development period..."
Gwen took it and glanced at it briefly: "Haha! Actually, there is no need to do this. The work ability of the Qingyi Bureau is obvious to all. Your judgment is convincing."
"Thank you for your trust." Li Xinghai replied politely.
"Yesterday, when your bureau called me, I told the people below to hand over Liu Cong as soon as possible. But the people in our action team reminded me." Gwen intervened and looked at the other party: "This Liu Cong, was... discovered at a bad time. The establishment of the Hualian Chamber of Commerce is imminent, and there are certain hidden dangers in the safety of the Wu family father and son, because we captured an enemy military intelligence officer, and learned from him that the Security Department, the Hualian Labor Union, and the Quantong Bureau are about to send people to Manchester City. Therefore, there are many points involved in the matter of Liu Cong."
Li Xinghai said somewhat speechlessly: "He is our informant at the Chamber of Commerce. I promise you...!"
"This matter cannot be resolved with your or my promises." Gwen interrupted and said, "We are the Fifth Division, and our superior department is the Central Bureau. Right now, things are turbulent outside, and whenever there is a problem involving the Hualian Chamber of Commerce, the higher-ups are very nervous. We also have to report to the higher-ups about the investigation of Liu Cong, and we can't just let him go without knowing it. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, no one can bear the responsibility."
"Then... your side?" Li Xinghai asked patiently.
"You guys stay for two days." Gwen said softly, "We'll do the review work here, get all the information, and then apply to the higher-ups for the transfer. It won't be a big problem."
"Okay, I'll wait a moment. Please hurry up too, I also have to go back to report." Li Xinghai replied.
"Okay!" Gwen looked up and shouted to his people, "Come on, send Liu Cong's information to the interrogation department and let them refer to it."
"Yes!" A middle-aged white man came over and left with the information.
Gwen stood up, smiled and held out her hand: "That's it for now, you guys take a rest here."
“Trouble!”
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Gwen turned and left.
…
Gwen held back Liu Cong for two main reasons. First, from the public side, Liu Cong was indeed a possible spy, because currently in the Chamber of Commerce, a large number of high-level officials secretly took money from political forces, and it was not uncommon for one person to eat several imperial rations.
Besides, let alone the fact that Liu Cong answered the phone, it was indeed very suspicious. Even if he revealed a little bit of clues and was suspected, Gwen would not hand him over so easily.
The interrogation has not yet been completely concluded, and you, the Qingyi Bureau, come to ask for someone? Is this reasonable? Moreover, Liu Cong's existence has also been known to the upper echelons. If you don't find out everything, handing him over to the competing department is absolutely a foolish move. If you miss any important information, you will definitely be held accountable by the upper echelons.
Secondly, out of selfish considerations, Gwen also wanted to make something of this matter. If Liu Cong was a multi-faceted spy, that would be even better, but if not, then he would find a way to make him one.
The competition between the Qingyi Bureau and the Central Bureau is too fierce. If Kang Dinghuang could be given some favor at this time, the upper echelons would definitely be very happy.
Everyone gets about the same amount of military funding. My Central Bureau solves cases, but your Qingyi Bureau keeps a traitor, and this happened at the time when the Hualian Chamber of Commerce was established. A comparison between the two sides shows who is better.
Taking all the above reasons into consideration, Gwen dragged the other party for a while and kept hinting to the interrogation department to quickly pry open Liu Cong's mouth and even find out how long he had been eating Nai for as a child.
…
evening.
Gwen continued to hold meetings with various departments. The main content of the meeting was to make prevention and encirclement deployments in response to the Chinese Workers' Union and An faction members entering the city tomorrow.
That night, many judicial units received orders to assist in the arrest, and the telephone numbers and mobile phones of the participating members were collected.
After everything was arranged, Gwen began to wait quietly for tomorrow to come.
…
Washington, Tsing Yi Bureau headquarters.
Kang Dinghuang was sitting in his office, preparing to take a nap.
“Boom boom!”
There was a knock on the door, and Kang Dinghuang looked up and shouted, "Come in!"
The secretary pushed the door open and walked in, standing next to the desk and said, "Li Xinghai called back."
"Ah?" Kang Dinghuang was stunned for a moment and couldn't remember Liu Cong's case for a moment.
The Qingyi Bureau is a regional-level military intelligence department, and Kang Dinghuang is the top leader. He has too many things to worry about every day, and cases like those involving Liu Cong are just sesame-sized problems in his eyes and are not worth mentioning at all.
Seeing that Kang Dinghuang didn't react, the secretary immediately reminded him, "It's our Chamber of Commerce insider, Liu Cong's case!"
"Oh!" Kang Dinghuang picked up the teacup: "Li Xinghai from the Operations Department went there, right? What did he say?!"
"Li Xinghai said that Gwen was trying to use words to drag him down and didn't want to hand over the person." The secretary replied.
Kang Dinghuang paused and said, "You're right. Gwen is probably trying to use this to deceive me!"
“I think so too!”
"Take out Liu Cong's informant file. Go to the Central Bureau in person tomorrow morning and find their foreign affairs director. Tell him clearly that this is our person and he needs to be transferred as soon as possible." Kang Dinghuang looked up at the secretary and said, "After getting the approval slip, immediately ask Li Xinghai to bring him in! A department-level unit is not qualified to have an equal dialogue with us! Stupid Gwen, just bypass him."
"Yes!" the secretary nodded.
"That's it, I'll take a break!" Kang Dinghuang leaned back on the sofa.
…
Bana City.
Su Tianyu stood by the window of the conference room, feeling a little nervous.
The door opened, Lu Feng walked in, looked up at him and said, "Everything is arranged!"
"Okay, let's wait until tomorrow!" Su Tianyu sighed, "Let's wait and see who will win!"
At the conference table, An Qiqi looked up and said, "Okay, the plan is finalized, let's eat something, the takeaway I ordered will be here soon."
