Chapter 277: The Red Party, Creeper

Zhang Yong returned to the office.

He found Li Jingzhi waiting for him uneasily.

Thinking it was about the little girl, he casually said, 'Just arrange for her to stay in the dormitory next door...'

'No. It's me...' Li Jingzhi quietly bit her lip.

'Miss me?' Zhang Yong teased her a little, seeing that there was no one around. Did she seem nervous?

'I...' Li Jingzhi was very anxious. But she didn't know what to say.

Zhang Yong noticed that her expression was not right.

Was there something important? Something to do with the Red Party?

That would be troublesome.

So he waved his hand. He told the others to disperse. He took her to a secluded place nearby.

Even if others saw them, they would think that the two of them wanted to have a private chat. There would be no suspicions. The whole office knew that Li Jingzhi was his woman. He was the one who brought her back.

Jealous?

Envious?

Go find the Director. The Director tacitly approved of this. If you guys are capable, bring a woman back yourself.

'Today, I overheard a special code.'

'What code?'

'Creeper.'

'What does it mean?'

Zhang Yong remained calm.

Creeper? The code of the mysterious Red Party?

What does it have to do with me?

This Li Jingzhi is really something. Worrying makes you lose your head. This is very easy to expose, isn't it?

Although you are not really a member of the Red Party, by doing this, people will definitely think that you are. Fortunately, this is just the Fuxing Society. If you were caught by the Party Affairs Investigation Office, it would really be troublesome.

'The Creeper is inside the Fuxing Society...'

'Nonsense!'

Zhang Yong shook his head.

He doesn't believe it.

There is a member of the Red Party inside the Fuxing Society?

Who?

Li Boqi?

That's nonsense!

Li Boqi is definitely not a Red.

He just feels some sympathy for the Reds and doesn't want to catch them himself.

If he were a real Red, he wouldn't be so outspoken normally. After all, you can't really know someone's heart. What if he reports people behind their backs?

So, Li Boqi can be ruled out. He is definitely not a Creeper.

If the Creeper really is in the Fuxing Society, he must be hiding very deeply. No one would normally notice him.

Li Boqi and Cao Mengqi had both been investigated for sympathising with the Red Party. Where would a true Red Party member dare to show any signs of it?

'It's true,' Li Jingzhi said with conviction.

'What evidence?' Zhang Yong looked at her.

If Creeper was inside the Fuxing Society, it was top secret.

Apart from the head of the department, only a few people at the level of section chief knew about it, so how could anyone else know? Li Boqi might not even know.

And you, Li Jingzhi, know about it? You've only just joined the telecommunications team a few days ago.

"It was sent to the Fuxing Society by the Party Affairs Investigation Office.'

'Oh?'

Zhang Yong's mind twitched.

Sent to the Fuxing Society by the Party Affairs Investigation Office?

That's a problem.

As everyone knows, the Fuxing Society and the Party Affairs Investigation Office are arch-rivals, who would fight even in the water.

How could the Party Affairs Investigation Office possibly send a telegram to the Fuxing Society without being absolutely certain? And to say that the Creeper is inside the Fuxing Society? This is a slap in the face for the Fuxing Society.

They must know the consequences.

Without evidence, or even if the evidence is not watertight, they will be rebuked by the Director of the Party Affairs Department.

The feud between the Director of the Party Affairs Department and Xu Enzeng is like a Yangtze River of water that cannot be washed away.

Unless there is very strong evidence. The Director of the Party Affairs Department will have to believe that there are really Red Party undercover agents within the Fuxing Society.

Moreover, this evidence may even reach the Chairman of the Committee.

Damn, this is a bit of a problem.

He is worried about what will happen to Li Boqi. And Cao Mengqi.

These two guys are so obvious in their behaviour. They are more like communists than communists. They could easily be mistaken for communists.

Cao Mengqi in particular is outspoken and doesn't hold back. He dares to say anything.

If they were to arrest a communist within the Restoration Society, they would probably hand over Cao Mengqi to make up the numbers.

As everyone knows, the Committee hates communists even more than the Japanese.

The Japanese invasion didn't make the Wei Zu so nervous. But if the Red Army invaded, the Wei Zu would probably wet his pants.

Before, in Guiyang, the Red Army made a feint attack, pretending to attack Guiyang. The Wei Zu was scared and pale. He desperately moved troops around, but he was so worried about his head that he forgot about his butt, and made countless mistakes.

In order to get the Yunnan Army to come to the rescue of Guiyang, he almost called Long Yun, the King of Yunnan, 'Dad.'

Legend has it that he tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night, suffering from diarrhea and defecating the bed...

Later, why was he so determined to get rid of Long Yun? It was probably because this was a major embarrassment that he didn't want to think about. He quickly got rid of Long Yun. He didn't want to be ridiculed.

Then the Red Army crossed Guiyang lightly, crossed the Wujiang River, and successfully broke out of the siege.

Just thinking about it makes you shudder.

With the Wei Zuo's hatred of the Red Army, whoever it was, they were all dead.

Of course, these are just Zhang Yong's own speculations.

Who knows what the deep-seated Chu Zuo will do? He's no good guy!

Externally, he might just throw the telegram from the Party Affairs Investigation Office out. He'll slap the Party Affairs Investigation Office in the face. But internally, he will definitely investigate secretly.

After all, if there really are Reds in the Fuxing Society, Chu Zuo won't be able to sleep at night.

Damn. The worst thing is that the investigation task will be given to Mao Renfeng.

This guy is also a bad egg...

Don't be fooled by his usual smile, he's just putting on an act.

Once he gets behind your back, he'll do something nasty. He won't hesitate. Li Boqi and Cao Mengqi, the two of them together, aren't his match.

No way.

I have to warn Li Boqi about this.

If something happens to Li Boqi, he Zhang Yong won't have a good time either. With no one looking out for him, no one to dote on him, how will he get away with anything?

'Have you seen the team leader?'

'You want to report it to the team leader?'

'None of your business. I'll handle it. Don't tell anyone.'

'I, I, I don't know anything.'

'That's right!'

'Then I'll go back.'

'Say you like me.'

'You...'

Li Jingzhi suddenly blushed.

Zhang Yong nodded with satisfaction. He winked at her proudly.

Li Jingzhi: ...

This bastard!

Then she understood that he had done it on purpose to make her blush.

If she went back blushing, everyone would just think that she was missing Zhang Yong and had a secret love affair with him.

They would never think that she had come to report a confidential message to him.

'Go back!' Zhang Yong said.

'Okay,' Li Jingzhi turned around and went back to the telecommunications department.

When no one was around, she gritted her teeth and quietly undid one of the buttons.

When someone came, she suddenly pretended to come to her senses and hurriedly buttoned her blouse.

Chen Mei happened to be walking past. Seeing her like that, and seeing Zhang Yong behind her, she couldn't help but shake her head. These two really...

There were no other suspicions.

Over here, Zhang Yong entered Li Boqi's office.

Li Boqi, of course, hadn't returned. Everyone else was still on vacation. It was very comfortable.

Looking at his watch, it was 12 o'clock at night.

Haha. Calling at this time of night was a sure way to get scolded.

But it didn't matter. He was used to it. He would just take the scolding. He had to tell him this news.

He finds Li Boqi's home phone number.

Luckily.

Li Boqi has left his home number at the office.

He dials.

'Doodle doodle doodle doodle...'

'Doodle doodle doodle doodle...'

The phone rings for a long time.

Zhang Yong waits patiently.

'Hello...' It is indeed Li Boqi's voice.

'Team leader, it's me,' Zhang Yong pretends to be very relaxed.

'I'm on vacation! I'm sleeping!' Li Boqi is about to explode with anger. Zhang Yong can almost see his deadpan face.

'Team leader, don't hang up, I have a very important situation to report.'

'I'm on vacation. I'll call back later...'

'Team leader, there is a Red Party within our Fuxing Society.'

'Nonsense...wait!'

Li Boqi came to his senses.

Red Party?

'Where did you hear that?'

'It came from the Party Affairs Investigation Office. They said there is a Red Party codenamed Creeper, hiding within our Fuxing Society.'

'You think I'm Creeper?'

'I'm worried that people think you're the Creeper. Or that Lao Cao is.'

'You...'

Li Boqi was silent for a moment.

It was clear that he was also a little nervous. He realised the seriousness of the situation.

After all, he had been investigated internally. Cao Mengqi had been in the small black room for three months. He was finally cleared of suspicion and released.

In fact, although he was cleared of suspicion, he was no longer involved in matters related to secrets.

As the leader of an operations team, he was left alone in Shanghai, responsible for catching Japanese spies, but was actually sidelined.

If it wasn't for Zhang Yong's miraculous appearance, he would soon have been transferred to sit on the bench. In the end, he didn't even get to be the leader of an operations team.

'Where did you get the news?'

'The Party Affairs Investigation Department sent a telegram to our Fuxing Society, presumably because they have caught conclusive evidence.'

'Li Jingzhi intercepted it?'

'She happened to see it.'

'She's been exposed.'

'Er...'

'Tell her not to do anything stupid in the future. Don't get involved in any future intelligence about the Red Party. Otherwise, just one leak of information and she'll lose her head.'

'Understood.'

'I'm not in the Red Party. Cao Mengqi isn't either. I'm not sure who is, either.'

'What if the higher-ups send someone to investigate...'

'That would be you!'

'What?'

Zhang Yong was shocked.

What? I'm in the Red Party? I'm fucking...

have fallen on my head?

Shit...

'The Director may ask you to investigate.'

'Huh?'

Confused again.

I'll investigate? Shit! I'll investigate the Red Party?

You're kidding...

'In the last investigation, everyone was a suspect. Including Intelligence Chief Zhou Weilong. Everyone was within the scope of the investigation. No one could be completely cleared of suspicion.'

'Huh?'

'Only you. You hadn't joined the Restoration Society at the time. You definitely weren't a climber. So the Director may appoint you to conduct a secret investigation.'

'But I only investigate Japanese spies!'

'Once the law is passed, it will be applied to everyone. Who will believe that you only know how to identify Japanese spies, except me?'

'Well...'

'Anyway, if you are appointed to investigate, don't discriminate. You can investigate me and Cao Mengqi however you like. Just do your job.'

'That's ridiculous!'

'It shouldn't get too big. The Party Affairs Department wants to make a fool of us, and the director knows it. We won't let them make a fool of us. It would be best if we could find evidence that they planted to frame us, and turn the tables on them. If you can get a few reds out of the Party Affairs Department, then it'll be a real show.'

'Er...'

'Okay, I'm on vacation. I'm sleeping. If the sky falls, you'll have to deal with it yourself.'

'No, I, team leader...'

'Beep!'

'Beep!'

Well, it's busy tone. Li Boqi hung up.

This guy is really something! With the fire burning at his eyebrows, he's still thinking about taking a vacation!

Brother, don't take a vacation. If you don't find any red parties, you'll be the one taking the fall...

Shit, what a mess.

The Japanese invaders are about to attack, and they're still investigating the red parties.

Did Ding Mochuan go to Jinling on a secret mission?

Could it be that the information was leaked in Jinling?

This is difficult...

Li Jingzhi is immature.

Li Boqi doesn't care.

Cao Mengqi is a cynic.

They're all bad teammates...

The most important thing is that I've only been in the Fuxing Society for five months! I haven't even passed the probation period yet!

Why are they piling so much work on me...

Ahhh, I want to complain! I want to complain about the older employees bullying the new employees...

I want a vacation too!

I want overtime pay!

"Ring ring ring...'

'Ring ring ring...'

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Zhang Yong's eyelids twitched for no reason. A late-night call was never good.

Damn, who the hell was calling?

Take a deep breath. Pick up the receiver.

Silence.

Doubt.

A serious voice came over the line:

'Comrade Creeper, the Party commands you to evacuate immediately.'
