Spy Shadow.

Chapter 951 Top Secret Mission
"Yes, father."

The eldest son stood up. Since he could not change the result, he could only accept it.

"It's not that we don't deal with it, but we just decide how to deal with it is best for us. Even we can't do whatever we want with many things."

Seeing his son's appearance, the old man couldn't bear it and took the initiative to explain.

"Father, I understand. They are indeed difficult to deal with. I understand."

The eldest son nodded, he did understand, but the feeling of having to work so hard to find out everything, only to let the mastermind go in the end still made him feel aggrieved.

……

"Assign tasks now."

In the inspection room, when Chu Lingyun came back, he called everyone into the conference room, including Director Zheng. He participated in the entire operation. He did not want to share the credit, but to gain some benefits for his subordinates.

With so many people, Chu Lingyun agreed to let people from the Second Military Intelligence Bureau catch a few of them.

In this way, the credit can fall on the Second Military Intelligence Bureau.

Director Zheng is very satisfied.

The Second Bureau of Military Intelligence has always cooperated with the work of the inspection room. In the past, they had always borrowed their torture rooms and cells. This time they deserved some reward, and the people in the inspection room would not have any objections.

"Zhao Dong hasn't come back yet?"

Seeing that Zhao Dong was not there, Chu Lingyun frowned, and Chu Yuan immediately replied: "We are already here and on the way."

"Okay, let's assign your tasks first."

Chu Lingyun did not waste time. Zhao Dong went to Shanghai and was responsible for investigating Wu Zhenan's suppliers. He was not idle during this period and got a lot of evidence. Those suppliers who provided defective products must also be arrested. Zhao Dong came back Later, the Shanghai Secrecy Bureau and MI[-] helped them arrest people.

Let him come back this time, give him some credit, and accumulate merit for him.

"Chu Yuan, go to the first and third halls."

Chu Yuan stood up and took over the task. There were three people involved in the case in the first and third halls. The number was not large. Chu Yuan didn't care about the credit. It didn't matter even if he wasn't allowed to do it.

"Jia Changguo, go to the fourth and fifth halls."

"Yue Guangfu, Sixth Department and Information Bureau..."

Chu Lingyun continued to make arrangements, and people were all arranged in the six halls and eight bureaus.

There will definitely be a big earthquake in the ministry this time, and it will be unprecedented to arrest so many people at once.

"Director Shao, the Second Office and the General Affairs Office will be left to you."

Chu Lingyun looked at Shao Wenchang, the director of the Second Bureau of Military Intelligence who was attending the meeting. The biggest problem in the general affairs office was Wu Zhenan. It was a pity that he was dead, but he had a lot of minions under his command. Those who could be recorded in his ledger were all important people. He caught one You can pull out a group.

The General Affairs Office has both merit and benefits.

"Thank you, Director Chu."

Shao Wenchang grinned. Chu Lingyun was very interesting. A general affairs office was enough for him. As for the second office, it was left to the director, and their military intelligence bureau was responsible for arresting people.

"Fang Like."

"I'm humble."

Fang Like stood up excitedly. He had the greatest credit for this case. The director did not forget him and deliberately left him for the finale. All other departments were assigned, and now only one was left, the minister's office.

That's the most critical place.

"Come with me to the minister's office."

Sure enough, the minister's office was handed over to him. As for going alone, Fang Like didn't even think about it. His small body couldn't hold it at all. Anyone picked out there would probably be as good as him.

Not to mention that the person arrested this time is still a big shot.

"Yes, the humble post takes orders."

After arranging the task, Zhao Dong came back. He will go to arrest people with Chu Lingyun. The credit of the minister's office is enough, and Fang Like doesn't care if Zhao Dong takes something away.

"Director, do you want to come with us?"

Chu Lingyun looked at Director Zheng, who smiled and shook his head: "I won't go, you go. I wish you a triumphant return."

Director Zheng is an old fox. It is obvious that the person at the top will not impose heavy penalties this time. There is no need for him to go there in person and cause people to have problems with him.

It's okay to participate, but it's not him who takes the lead, and that's enough.

Zheng Guangtao also accepted the task. Chu Lingyun has not forgotten his nephew. What else is he dissatisfied with?
Fang Like and Zheng Guangtao can both be promoted this time, and they are their own people.

"Director, let's go then."

The inspection room car drove out again. In the minister's office, Bi Qingwen sat at his desk with despair on his face.

He had just come out of Vice-Chairman Hu's office. He was Vice-Chairman Hu's man.

Vice-Chang Hu is from Guangxi, and he is fellow villager with General Bai.

It was Chief Hu who gave the order before, asking him to get rid of Wu Zhenan.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zhenan's death left a huge hole for them.

Wu Zhenan, this kid, dared to leave the account book privately. It is said that it was shot on microfilm and hidden in the water pipe. He was indeed smart, but his smartness was not used on the right path.

This time everyone was in trouble.

Including the president.

The old man called General Bai and General Li and asked them to come over to discuss the matter. When General Bai understood what was going on, he immediately scolded Chief Hu.

Small things that could have been handled safely were made into a big deal by them.

General Bai and Deputy Chief Hu knew very well what the old man's purpose was. In next year's election, the old man would definitely be elected president. There were no surprises in this, and no one had ever thought of competing with him.

However, there are variables in the choice of vice president, especially General Lee, who is bound to win the vice president.

General Li was not in Nanjing just to prepare for this incident.

I didn't expect that such a big thing would happen to them. The old man obviously wanted to use this matter to negotiate with them and make General Li give up the campaign.

For them, asking General Lee to give up his position as vice president is equivalent to giving up most of his power. This is absolutely unacceptable. Vice-Chairman Hu knows very well that even if he gives up, General Lee will not give up the campaign.

Bi Qingwen did such a bad job, and Deputy Chief Hu was even more annoyed.

In the office just now, Deputy Chief Hu gave Bi Qingwen two options. One was to commit suicide and apologize, and the other was to wait to be caught.

Deputy Chief Hu hopes that he will think carefully. If he apologizes, he can save his family and there is no guarantee that he will be arrested.

Chief Hu didn't kill anyone. It was unnecessary at this point. Killing people again would simply add fuel to the fire. People got the evidence and knew what he had done. There was no point in killing someone to silence him.

Fortunately, he had roped in a higher-level person to participate, giving him an extra layer of protection.

General Bai has analyzed that the old man probably won't deal with him, otherwise everyone will have to deal with him.

But other people can't keep it, and they have to answer to the old man.

Bi Qingwen looked at the pistol in front of him. It was easy to kill yourself with just one bullet.

He picked up the pistol and put a trembling hand to his temple.

When he ordered Liu Ziyao to kill Yan Tong, he didn't feel anything. When he forced Bian Fuwei to hang himself, he didn't feel anything either.

When he watched Qu Yuanli strangle Jiang Bendong and even ordered Wu Zhenan to be eliminated, his heart was cold.

But when it was his turn, he couldn't make up his mind.

"This is the tragedy of the chess piece."

Bi Qingwen shed tears, whether it was regret or not wanting to die like this.

It is true that he is a chess piece. His identity and level are destined not to be a person on the chessboard. The same goes for Deputy Chief Hu. However, he is a high-level player. Even if he does not jump out of the chessboard, at least the chess players will protect him.

He became a pawn that was ruthlessly abandoned.

Chu Lingyun led dozens of people to the minister's office building, which was guarded by soldiers who arrived in advance.

Chen Mutu gave the order. Chen Mutu was also very angry when he learned what happened here. He was not in Nanjing, but he was still the chief of general staff and the No. 1 person in the Ministry of National Defense.

Although General Bai is a minister, he is a mascot. The real power of the Ministry of National Defense lies in the hands of the Chief of General Staff, Chen Mutu.

Chen Mutu gave the order and everyone cooperated.

Chu Lingyun took Fang Like directly upstairs.

Five people from the minister's office were involved in the case. Bian Fuwei is dead, Jiang Bendong is in trouble, and the rest are Bi Qingwen, Qu Yuanli and another director.

"You go and catch Qu Yuanli."

Chu Lingyun told Fang Like that Qu Yuanli was the person Fang Like found and if he was asked to catch him, the entire credit would go to him.

Qu Yuanli's rank is not low, and combined with his previous achievements, it is enough for Fang Like to be promoted to a military rank.

"Yes."

Fang Like was very happy and took people directly to Qu Yuanli's office. Another person asked Zhao Dong to arrest him, while Chu Lingyun took people to Bi Qingwen's side.

Hearing the footsteps outside the door, Bi Qingwen understood that he had no time to hesitate.

If you don't die now, you can't escape even if you are caught.

Gritting his teeth, Bi Qingwen pulled the trigger.

"boom."

The door was knocked open, and several members of the operation team rushed in and pushed Bi Qingwen down on the table with a pistol in hand and a look of astonishment on his face.

Bi Qingwen's pistol didn't go off. In his confusion, he forgot to turn on the safety.

He didn't die, he was captured alive.

Seeing Bi Qingwen's appearance, Chu Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Bi Qingwen was not dead. Apart from the three people who could not be dealt with, Bi Qingwen was the most important person among the people arrested this time.

"Wow……"

Bi Qingwen, who was tied up, cried loudly. He understood why he did not die and was stupid enough to commit suicide with a gun without the safety on.

There was a feeling of joy in his heart. Fortunately, he did not die and could live for a few more days.

This feeling of wandering between life and death and narrowly escaping from death made Bi Qingwen completely collapsed. He could no longer control his emotions and burst into tears on the spot.

Chu Lingyun has arrested many people, some who were paralyzed and unable to move, some who resisted strongly, and some who cursed.

There are indeed fewer people who lose their composure like Bi Qingwen.

"take away."

Chu Lingyun shouted that it was a good thing that Bi Qingwen was captured alive. He knew the most.

Chu Lingyun personally led people to search the office, and his home would not be left behind. All the money Bi Qingwen had earned over the years would be copied out. Unfortunately, Ni Loach was not here. If Ni Loach was here, he would not be able to hide a single copper plate.

"Director, we've caught him."

Things went smoothly for Fang Like and Zhao Dong. Qu Yuanli didn't even know that their superiors had abandoned them. Bi Qingwen couldn't save himself and made the difficult decision to commit suicide. How could he have the energy to take care of him anymore.

The two were kidnapped and taken away. People in the minister's office stuck their heads out and looked at them.

Bi Qingwen has always been strong here, and many people know that he has done many bad things, but his background is tough and many people dare not speak out.

Seeing that Bi Qingwen was unlucky this time, many people were secretly happy.

The arrests were basically smooth, except for two people who resisted and were eventually captured alive. There were no casualties among the people in the inspection room.

There were 35 people in Wu Zhenan's list excluding him, three were removed, three were dead, one was missing, and all the remaining 28 people were arrested.

At the same time, Shanghai, Suzhou, Yangzhou and other places.

The Secrecy Bureau and the Military Intelligence Bureau launched attacks one after another.

There were 45 merchants collaborating with Wu Zhenan in various places and more than 500 people were arrested. In Nanjing, 200 merchants and almost [-] people were arrested.

Those who can supply the Ministry of National Defense are large merchants.

Even people who didn't know anything knew that something big was going on.

In the Security Bureau, Qi Limin hung up the phone and sat there in silence.

Chu Lingyun was in the limelight. After this time, the inspectors in the inspection room will completely break through their responsibilities. They will no longer only supervise the intelligence system, but will also have case-handling powers for people from other departments.

The previous so-called Foreign Finance Inventory Committee was just targeting them.

Now available for everyone.

However, there is a premise for all this, which must be led by the eldest son and supported by the old man, otherwise the inspection room will still be restricted to the intelligence system.

Qi Limin understood that with Chu Lingyun's intelligence, he would not let go of such an opportunity.

So what if the inspection office is low-level?

Look at the cases they handled this time. Who were they arrested?

If it weren't for the old man's need for balance, he could capture more people and have higher levels.

Wu Zhenan, who was considered dead, had several generals killed by the inspection room this time.

The Inspection Office once again became famous.

Qi Limin wants to see Chu Lingyun promoted. This kind of name is not a good one. The better he does, the more people will be wary of him. In the future, Chu Lingyun will become a thorn in the eyes of more people, and more people will want to get rid of him. many.

The pressure on the Secrecy Bureau can be reduced somewhat.

If Chu Lingyun is really eliminated by others, he will definitely open champagne to celebrate.

For Chu Lingyun, being caught is not the end. What follows is tedious interrogation and investigation.

The inspection room only had one interrogation room and three simple cells, which were completely insufficient. Except for the three people in the minister's office, everyone else was assigned to the Second Military Intelligence Bureau for interrogation. The Second Military Intelligence Bureau was also busy.

There was nothing wrong with them this time, but because of their close relationship with the inspection office, they made a lot of money. They didn't just drink some broth, they also ate meat.

"Bi Qingwen, where is Jiang Bendong?"

The eldest son, Director Zheng and Chu Lingyun came together to interrogate this most important person. Bi Qingwen was not tied up, but sat there with a blank expression.

"died."

"How did you die?"

"Qu Yuanli led others to strangle him to death. Qu Yuanli buried his body. I don't know where exactly it is."

Bi Qingwen didn't hide it. His superiors had given up on him, and he understood his final outcome.

"Where are the escaped guards from the Reserve Cadre Bureau and the murderer who killed Wu Zhenan?" Chu Lingyun asked again.

"The guard ran away. The people I sent wanted to get rid of him on the road. Unexpectedly, he was very clever and ran away. He was not found later. There have been so many things recently. I didn't have time to pay attention to him. Kill Wu Zhenan The people were dealt with by my henchmen."

Chu Lingyun was slightly startled, and the eldest son was even more stunned.

The guard of the eldest son who deliberately left a gun for Liu Ziyao to kill actually managed to escape without dying.

He was really lucky. Except for him, no one else had a good outcome this time.

The eldest son will not let him go, and will definitely send people to continue searching until he is captured.

The eldest son will not be merciful to those who betray him.

"Tell me everything you have done before."

The eldest son asked in person, and Bi Qingwen never thought of resisting. He said whatever he asked, but did not mention Deputy Chief Hu at all.

Chu Lingyun didn't ask, and Director Zheng just kept sitting and didn't speak from the beginning to the end.

Bi Qingwen said it didn't matter whether he told Deputy Chief Hu or not. The old man had no intention of dealing with him. If he did, it would only cause trouble for them. The closing report would have to be changed when the time comes.

Bi Qingwen didn't say anything because he was afraid that Deputy Chief Hu would attack his family.

Qu Yuanli was equally happy. After knowing that Bi Qingwen had confessed everything, he understood that the people above him had completely abandoned them.

Ask him whatever he wants, including all the bad things he has done with Bi Qingwen over the years.

The interrogation of other people went equally well. With so many people arrested this time, especially Bi Qingwen, their psychological defenses were completely broken, and besides, there weren't many hard-nosed people among them.

After setting up camp, General Bai left in a hurry.

The old man looked very ugly. He wanted to use this opportunity to ask General Lee to give up the election of vice president, but he didn't expect that they would not agree to it.

General Bai and the others are not stupid, they understand what they need.

If the old man really wants to punish the person who made the mistake, let him punish him.

"Boss, Deputy Chief Hu may be in trouble this time."

On the way back in the car, the secretary asked carefully. General Bai was still angry and snorted: "He asked for it. I told him not to be so greedy. Look at what he did."

"I heard that it was Chu Lingyun who found out this time. He didn't save any face for you."

The secretary said again that he had a good relationship with Vice-Chang Hu and would definitely stand by Vice-Chang Hu this time.

Chu Lingyun and General Bai do have a certain relationship. I thought that Chu Lingyun would be a high-ranking person and would not go so far in the investigation, but I didn't expect that he would directly investigate everything.

He didn't even say hello.

"He's responsible."

General Bai shook his head. Chu Lingyun really didn't give him any face this time. He never made a phone call from beginning to end.

Chief Hu was his man and found him out directly.

Generally speaking, the old man will not let one of his own people serve as his deputy, but General Bai's minister has no real power. Even the minister does not have much power, let alone the deputy minister.

The real power is in Chen Mutu's hands, which is equivalent to the old man's hands.

The secretary didn't say anything anymore, just click on some words.

"Appointment."

When the old man set up camp, Tang Boyuan had arrived long ago. As soon as General Bai left, he walked in immediately.

"Look what you've done."

The old man shouted angrily and threw the document in front of Tang Boyuan. Tang Boyuan carefully picked it up and looked at it for a few times before immediately lowering his head.It’s the eldest young master again, and it’s Chu Lingyun again. They deserve to die.

After the war, Tang Boyuan wanted the wealth of Shiyuan Trading Company, but the eldest son and Chu Lingyun teamed up with Chen Mutu to arrange a deal. After all, he was the old man's man. Although he was fine in the end, Chu Lingyun took away the Shiyuan Trading Company.

He was a dignified commander, but he had never fought against a division-level officer in the army at that time, which made him lose face.

He and Chu Lingyun had a grudge over this.

"Commissioning, I was wrong."

Tang Boyuan did not dare to deny it. The evidence was conclusive. In this corruption case at the General Affairs Office of the Ministry of National Defense, he was the highest-ranking person involved.

Hu Cichang knew that he had no real power and wanted to make money, so he dragged the money-grubbing Tang Boyuan into the water.

In fact, when Chu Lingyun first learned about the list, he guessed that the old man would not deal with him.

In May of this year, Tang Boyuan was responsible for the Battle of Meng Lianggu. The old man was furious and dismissed Tang Boyuan from his post for investigation. As a result, in July, he was made concurrently the deputy commander of the army and even the acting commander.

The commander is a fictitious position with little real power, mainly due to his high rank.

The old man originally wanted to arrange a real job for him at the end of the year. After all, he is his own person. Even if he does too much, the old man cannot really deal with it.

"You're wrong. Just admit it. Don't ask for your actual job at the end of the year. Go back and reflect."

The old man didn't want to continue scolding him and drove him out.

If it weren't for him, he could use Chief Hu and others to negotiate with General Li, General Bai and others this time. The reason why General Bai dared to refuse so decisively was because not only their people were involved in the case this time, but also Tang Boyuan.

The corruption in the Ministry of National Defense in the military is mostly related to Tang Boyuan, and the amount is staggering.

If the old man really wants to deal with Deputy Chief Hu, he must deal with Tang Boyuan together.

See if the old man is willing to part with it.

Tang Boyuan returned to his residence with a look of resentment in his eyes.

Not to the old man, but to Chu Lingyun and the eldest son.

These two people seemed to be having trouble with him. It was like this last time in Shanghai, and it was the same this time. They really thought that with the old man protecting them, there was nothing he could do.

But he really has nothing to do now. The Meng Lianggu fiasco had a great impact on him. He wanted to regain his strength at the end of the year, but now it's fine. The old man has suspended the actual job he was going to give him. He doesn't know how long he will have to wait.

Tang Boyuan's resentment towards Chu Lingyun deepened when his own future was concerned.

Chu Lingyun didn't know what happened in the camp, and he wouldn't care how the old man dealt with it, but this corruption case would definitely affect the morale of the frontline troops.

They were fighting with their heads up, but the rear was so greedy that they even extended their hands to their side.

No wonder the food they eat is mediocre and the food they use is not good. What should have been given to them has been corrupted by all the officials.

They wear rich clothes, eat fine food, and live in luxurious villas. Ordinary soldiers and low-level officers have neither enough food nor clothing to keep them warm. They do the most dangerous and tiring work, and their lives are worse than those of these officials' dogs. .

In this case, how could they fight sincerely?

The old man had ordered it to be kept secret, but it was impossible to keep this matter a secret.

Chu Lingyun believed that even if he didn't report it, his hometown would still receive several reports, and they would be very detailed.

Chu Lingyun's guess was absolutely correct, and Mr. Ke received four reports.

It's all related to this corruption case in the Ministry of National Defense.

One of them even has a list of all the people involved in the case, including Tang Boyuan.

"These are printed into leaflets, which are often seen by the Kuomintang soldiers on the front line, and these are used for propaganda in newspapers and radio."

Mr. Ke personally sorted out the corruption in the army and made a separate list of it, and asked people to print it into a leaflet. It contained detailed data, especially in Shandong, how much was corrupted in the army and how it was divided. It was originally going to be How come the things given to the soldiers have changed appearance and are of inferior quality?

These things are no less than bullets, and they might make some people rebel, or even lead an uprising with their superiors.

If the party loses popular support, they will not be able to let go of these propaganda advantages.

The Red Party does not want to fight, they are all their own people, and they bear all the losses caused by each battle.

One more person who realizes that only the Red Party can save China, one more person who is willing to defect to the light, means the country will lose one less person.

As for newspapers and radio, it is the corruption of the Ministry of Defense.

The Party banned the private circulation of gold and foreign exchange, but they themselves traded in gold bars and U.S. dollars.

The amount of corruption they have committed over the years, converted into gold, amounts to millions of taels.

Corrupt officials, absolute corruption.

Chu Lingyun handed the thick case closing report to the eldest son. Next, he had to reward according to his merits. This case closing report was very important.

As a result, before the eldest son sent the report, newspapers in Hong Kong, Shanghai and other places exposed the matter.

The Information Bureau hurriedly intervened.

Mr. Ke was even more shocked when he received the news. Their newspaper hadn't even published it yet, but the Guo Dang themselves had already exposed it.

This is just right, as it can protect the comrades who are delivering the information.

"Let brothers have a good rest for a few days."

In the inspection room, Chu Lingyun gave everyone a holiday. Except for the necessary personnel on duty, everyone else had a three-day holiday.

"Thank you, Director."

Fang Like responded with a smile. He had gained the most this time. The eldest son had promised him that he would be promoted to colonel this time.

There is also Zhao Dong. Zhao Dong didn't get much credit this time. He will be promoted next time.

Zheng Guangtao also made some small contributions this time and saved it for him so that he could be promoted in the future.

All section chiefs and team leaders in the inspection room will eventually reach the rank of colonel.

The Inspection Office is not a war situation team, and it does not last as long as a war situation team. However, even if it only takes a few years, Chu Lingyun can still develop the inspection room and eventually become his direct descendant.

At least now everyone in the inspection room is united, no matter who they are, they are extremely convinced of him.

Who doesn’t like a superior who can lead them to promotion and wealth?

Others have holidays, but Chu Lingyun doesn't.

The old man is still negotiating with General Li and has not touched Deputy Commander Hu. However, Deputy Commander Hu's minions have been cleaned up a lot and he is very low-key now.

Except for the fourth department, many people in other departments and bureaus were very happy.

The General Affairs Department was investigated, and apart from the people on the list, they were the department with the largest number of arrests.

More than 20 people were arrested.

The director of the department, Qiu Liangyong, was demoted to deputy director because of his poor supervision. He has temporary powers as director. Depending on his future performance, if the General Affairs Office can be re-directed, he can be reinstated as director.

Qiu Liangyong did not collude with Wu Zhenan, he did not bother to do these things.

Wu Zhenan has a strong background and he can't stop him, so he just doesn't care.

Wu Zhenan belongs to Deputy Chief Hu, and behind him are General Bai and General Li. The power of the Ministry of National Defense is in the hands of Chen Mutu, but most of it is the power to command external operations.

These small matters within them still fall under the jurisdiction of General Bai.

Without even this power, who would be willing to be this minister?

"Ling Yun, let's go."

The eldest son came to pick up Chu Lingyun. The reward would have to wait until after the holiday. Chu Lingyun now has a new mission.

"Father, here we come."

The eldest son brought Chu Lingyun to the camp. This time, the old man ordered Chu Lingyun to go there.

"Jianfeng, Lingyun, sit down."

The old man didn't look good, and the negotiations with the Gui clique were not going well. They understood the old man's concerns and had many good words to say, but they refused to give in on the position of vice president.

The old man wants a deputy who is completely obedient to him and does things for him, rather than letting his competitors do it and be the one who holds him back.

"Ling Yun, I asked you to come here because I want to continue to work hard for you. My people here will investigate in secret."

The eldest son also made such a request. Everyone in the Reserve Cadre Bureau asked Chu Lingyun to investigate secretly to see if there was anyone else's informant.

This time they can kill Yan Tong, who can guarantee that they will not attack him?
The eldest son also attaches great importance to safety.

"Principal, I'll get ready right away."

Chu Lingyun nodded. This was a good opportunity. At least the people around the old man had a clear understanding of the situation. This was very important information.

"Don't worry, you have made great contributions to this case. Do you have any ideas?"

The old man took the initiative to ask. Chu Lingyun had made a lot of contributions in the military command, and the inspection office had made continuous contributions, which had reached the point where he couldn't hold him back.

He was considering whether to promote Chu Lingyun.

There is no need to rush into promotion of military rank. As for the position, let Chu Lingyun take up the vacant position of deputy director. In any case, he has been promoted.

"Be loyal to the principal and do things for the party. Ling Yun doesn't need anything."

Chu Lingyun shook his head and smiled. His words finally made the old man smile. Look, this is a true loyal minister. He obviously has so many achievements and so much money. He would have gotten up early because he understood his difficulties. Would rather give up these.

"Jianfeng, please remember that in the future, you should give Ling Yun a lot of rewards."

The old man looked at his son. Chu Lingyun was his son's person and the most important talent he left for his son in the future.

These rewards must be given by my son.

"Yes, father."

The eldest son responded hurriedly, but Chu Lingyun refused. The old man didn't mention the reward again. The slower Chu Lingyun's promotion, the better, but there was one thing that both he and the eldest son ignored.

Chu Lingyun's position has not been promoted, but his importance has increased a lot.

This case handling has once again enhanced the power of the inspection office.

The inspection room is just an ordinary department-level unit below the second hall, but who dares to regard the inspection room as such a small unit now?
Many people treat the inspection office and all departments and bureaus equally.

The Second Military Intelligence Bureau, which is located in the second hall with the Inspection Office, is completely incomparable in terms of status. This time, it is like a follower, more like a subordinate of the Inspection Office.

Chu Lingyun didn't care about those false reputations, as long as he had real power.

Even if the old man and the eldest son didn't ignore it, they wouldn't care.

Because Chu Lingyun's power was given by them. Chu Lingyun's ability is too strong. If he doesn't control it well, there is a risk of losing control. The power now relies on them and they can take it back at any time. This is the greatest safety.

This is also the situation that the old man wants most.

The investigation of the people around the old man does not require the participation of all the people in the inspection room.

Chu Lingyun only asked Chu Yuan, Fang Like and Jia Changguo to come back, and each of them called back five reliable subordinates to form an investigation team.

Including Chu Lingyun, there are 19 people in total.

Undercover investigation is different from normal case handling.

The people under investigation cannot be allowed to know their existence, and at the same time, secrets must not be leaked, and all their situations must be understood. People with more brains are needed to do this.

Zheng Guangtao and Shen Hanwen were all excluded.

Shen Hanwen returned to the Secrecy Bureau. He had made meritorious service in the inspection office, and Qi Limin had to pinch his nose to praise him. It was purely verbal praise, but he didn't even receive a dime of reward after he returned.

Shen Hanwen didn't care about this. The inspection office would give it to them and would not treat them badly.

This time, a lot of money was stolen from the case-handling inspection office. Director Zheng and the eldest son got the biggest share, and the people who worked on them also got a lot.

The team leader has promised everyone long ago that rewards will be distributed to everyone when they return from vacation.

They didn't need to give it to the Military Intelligence Bureau. The Military Intelligence Bureau helped handle the case this time and already made a lot of money.

The team leader gave them the most lucrative general affairs office. Shao Wenchang, the director of the Second Military Intelligence Bureau, has been walking lightly these days.

The credit and wealth he gained this time were almost in vain for him.

"I called you here because I have a top-secret mission. This mission is very important and must be kept secret. Let's talk about the ugly things first. If you can't quit now, the whole family will be executed if you fail to do so."

Chu Lingyun said lightly, 18 people, you look at me, I look at you.

Chu Yuan was the only one who knew the mission, and he smiled to himself.

The secret will definitely be leaked, and the leaker is their director. The director's acting skills are getting better and better, and there is no way those movie stars can compare with the director.

"Director, don't worry, I promise we won't leak any secrets."

Chu Yuan was the first to express his stance, and Jia Changguo and Fang Like expressed their stance that they would not withdraw, let alone reveal any secrets.

Especially Jia Changguo, the rise of Fang Like put a lot of pressure on him.

Originally, Fang Like was the director of the department, but he didn't care. He was the director's confidant. However, the director transferred Zhao Dong, and now he looked at Fang Like in a different light. As the chief of the first section, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

He had always been the best in the past, but this time he was overwhelmed by Fang Like.

Chu Lingyun dared to reuse Fang Like, which impressed Jia Changguo very much.

Everyone knew that Fang Like was sent by the director and was not the director at all. However, Fang Like was smart, performed well and worked hard, so the director gave him a chance.

And he was given more and more, and he treated Fang Like no less than any of their confidants.

The use of Fang Like is enough to prove that the director is a very magnanimous person. As long as he has the ability, he will never be afraid of not having the opportunity to show off in the inspection room.

With great pressure comes great motivation. Jia Changguo secretly vowed that he must work harder than usual on this mission and strive to surpass Fang Like.

He doesn't compare with Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan never fights over these things and always works diligently.

"Very well, this is the list. Let's investigate the people on it first."

Chu Lingyun divided them into three groups and gave them forty lists for each group, totaling 120 people.

The number of guards for the old man cannot be so small, but these are the guards closest to the old man. They have good backgrounds, and many of them are even from the old man's hometown.

"Director, what aspects of their investigation are you mainly investigating?"

Fang Like asked first. At this time, he and Jia Changguo had not yet realized what kind of task this was.

"Whether they have any foreign wealth, banks, banks, real estate, land, business and cash must be checked, whether they have women, whether they have special hobbies, and who they usually interact with more. When investigating, it is not just them themselves, but also their The same investigation is done for family members, including grandparents, parents, children, and all their brothers and sisters."

Chu Lingyun said slowly, Jia Changguo and Fang Like, who were reading the information, looked up together.

Previous investigations have basically focused on the individual. This time, not only the individual but also his family members must be investigated?
And the scope of the family is so wide, including ancestors and even brothers and sisters?
Still checking as carefully as I did.

Who on earth has to be investigated in such detail?

"Let's watch it first and talk about it later."

Chu Lingyun did not explain. The file was very detailed. After reading several copies, Fang Like looked up first.

"Director, what do they do?"

Their positions are not in the files, but their resumes are. They are all soldiers, with good skills and good backgrounds. Some of their fathers are even important generals around the chairman of the committee, or important members of the government.

Normally, the development of such people will not be bad. Since we want to check, we must know their current work. The strange thing is that this point is missing from the file.

"Attendant Guard."

Chu Lingyun's words made Fang Like tremble violently.

Jia Changguo even raised his head, extremely shocked.

They finally understood why the director had said it was so serious in advance and wanted to investigate in such detail.

These people are the force that protects the old man.

Such people are usually not allowed to be touched, let alone investigated. Even if they are investigated, it is a higher-level department. This time the investigation task actually fell on the inspection office?
The two people immediately understood that it was the eldest son's matter that touched the old man, so they gave this special task to their director.

"Look, don't think so much about it first."

Chu Lingyun stood up and left them looking through the files in the conference room.

They were given the opportunity to withdraw before, but they didn't take it. Now that they have received the file and are looking through it, they can no longer withdraw.

"Don't think too much about it. This is a very important task. Look carefully."

Jia Changguo immediately ordered his men. This task was important and also their opportunity. If they did it well, the old man might remember their names.

If he can be remembered by the old man, wouldn't he have a bright future?
Not to mention others, understand what kind of opportunity this is.

There are six people in each team, and each of the five team members is divided into eight files. The team leader is responsible for summarizing, first understanding their basic conditions, and then conducting investigations one by one based on these basic conditions.

People will have weaknesses, but those who have no weaknesses are saints.

Including these guards.

Most people have three weaknesses: power, money and women.

They have no shortage of power. Who dares to offend the old man's close friends?
When you want to do something, basically no one will say hello to you, and no one dares to say no.

Money is the key, and women.

But it is not absolute. In addition to these three categories, there are a few people who can also become weaknesses targeted by others because of their special habits.

Therefore, we must check everything carefully.

After reading the files, the three team leaders must formulate an investigation plan.

Everyone must be investigated, but in order. Those who seem to be more likely to be targeted must be put first and investigated more carefully.

Forty people may not sound like a lot, but if you include their families, it is definitely a huge number. This time it will take a long time, and every investigation is not that easy.

All the investigation results were finally summarized in Chu Lingyun. Even the eldest son could not participate. Chu Lingyun reported directly to the old man.

And they can only investigate and cannot have any contact with these people.

In fact, by doing this, the old man has shown his trust in his son and Chu Lingyun. After all, he knows the situation of these people. If they want to do something, it is easier to target them.

They read the information very carefully and spent a whole day reading it. It took another day to make the plan. It was only on the third day that the three plans were delivered to Chu Lingyun.

　Thanks to Ji Xingchen for the reward of 1500 starting coins, and thanks to the leader Pipitu for another 1000 starting coin reward.
