Chapter 96 Hitting the Point
The document is divided into two parts, one is a normal report and the other is a top-secret telegram.
The top-secret telegrams cannot be deciphered directly by the Telecommunications Department and require a separate code book to translate, and this code book is in the director's safe.
Putting the top-secret telegram aside, the director was very happy just by looking at the case closing report. Wuhan Station had arrested several more spies, including a team leader, who had confessed.
Although neither the radio nor the code book was seized, it was still a huge success.
"Well done, Wang Yuemin! Well done!"
The director just laughed a few times, but then he remembered the mess at headquarters and immediately put away his smile: "Xu Yi, investigate Rendan Company thoroughly and find out who ordered them to draw the advertisement."
After giving the order, the director left directly without even giving the order to adjourn the meeting.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Xu Yi.
The good news from Wuhan Station came at the right time. It solved an impending thunderstorm, and no one had to continue to be scolded. Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
He really didn't know anything about Ren Dan's affairs. If the director continued to ask, he wouldn't know how to answer.
Back in the office, Director Chu immediately took out the separate code book and translated it word for word.
This top-secret document reported that Hayakawa Hei helped to incite Ishida Koyama to defect. Seeing that a Japanese spy team leader had been incited to infiltrate the enemy, the director excitedly slapped his thigh.
"Wang Yuemin is doing a great job. If everyone could be like him, our Military Intelligence Department would surely grow stronger."
After reading the secret letter, the director said with emotion that he only had Secretary Qi by his side, and the person he trusted most in the entire station could be said to be Secretary Qi.
He would hide many things from others, but he would not hide them from Secretary Qi.
"Director, Stationmaster Wang is truly outstanding. Catfish is truly our trump card."
Secretary Qi said with a smile, while Director Zuo remained silent. He immediately understood the meaning of Secretary Qi's words.
Whether Catfish is a real Japanese or a Japanese agent, his significance and value are extremely great. Such an agent can play a greater role if he is in the hands of the headquarters.
But the man was arrested by Wuhan Station and was instigated by Wuhan Station. Now he is in Wuhan. It is so ugly for him to snatch people away so blatantly.
"Why did it only briefly mention Chu Lingyun and no one else? What's going on?"
Looking at the secret letter, the director suddenly said that he had never met Chu Lingyun, but he was deeply impressed by him, not only because of Wang Yuemin's report, but also because of Secretary Qi's praise for Chu Lingyun when he came back last time.
And his shadow is everywhere in every case closing report.
"Director, the Wuhan station did such a great job this time, it must have been led by Chu Lingyun. As for why he was not included, you can see at a glance what Stationmaster Wang was thinking."
Secretary Qi smiled and said that he had seen the telegram. There was indeed very little mention of Chu Lingyun in it, including the case closing report just now. Chu Lingyun would not be mentioned if it was possible not to.
But this case was led by Chu Lingyun, so Wang Yuemin had no choice but to downplay it.
Secretary Qi understood that this was because of Henian's last phone call. Wang Yuemin had become wary and did not want Chu Lingyun to continue to be exposed in the headquarters to avoid being remembered by others.
The director's heart moved, and he asked softly: "Limin, before Henian, he wanted this Chu Lingyun. I didn't agree, but I didn't refuse either. I asked him to discuss it with Wang Yuemin himself. What do you think about this matter?"
Virgos are very independent-minded and rarely consult others, but Secretary Qi is an exception.
"Director, whether it's He Nian or Wang Yuemin, they are all serving you and the Party and the country. The same goes for Chu Lingyun. No matter where he is, as long as it's beneficial to you and the Party and the country, that's all."
"Is that all?" the director asked again. Secretary Qi's answer obviously did not satisfy the director.
"Commander, the Japanese spies in Wuhan have been almost eliminated."
Secretary Qi bent down slightly and spoke softly. Director Qi narrowed his eyes slightly. He was not satisfied with Secretary Qi's previous formal answer.
But this time, what Secretary Qi said hit the nail on the head.
Yes, the secret letter reported that there are no active Japanese spies at Wuhan Station now. They have been wiped out by them, and they have achieved an absolute victory.
In that case, what is the point of such a talented person like Chu Lingyun staying in Wuhan?
Is sitting in the office a waste of time?
Wuhan Station has done an excellent job, completely exceeding the expectations of the department. It is not only much better than other branch stations, but even the headquarters cannot compare with it.
The headquarters is a mess now and needs to be rectified urgently. After all, this is the capital. The top management cannot see the performance of the external stations, but they can see what they are doing.
"Go call Henian over."
The director suddenly said, Secretary Qi nodded, called Henian, and within a few minutes, Henian came running over.
"Comrade, you're looking for me."
Henian was very nervous. Virgo had only vented his anger a little before, and he didn't know if he hadn't vented all his anger yet, so he called him over to continue scolding him.
"Have you looked for Wang Yuemin?" the director asked calmly, his tone flat and without any sign of anger.
He Nian was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "I did, but Station Master Wang rejected my request. I'll go talk to him again."
He Nian was not angry and breathed a sigh of relief. He secretly glanced at Secretary Qi, who was standing there calmly, which made him feel a lot more at ease.
"Go ahead."
The director nodded. Just as Henian was about to leave, he suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait, forget it. It's no use for you to look for him. I'll call him."
"Yes, Virgo."
Henian responded hurriedly, his heart full of surprise. The result of his phone call was predictable: Wang Yuemin would definitely not give in.
It would definitely be different if Virgo called personally.
At the same time, he also felt alert. The fact that the Director personally came to help him get people back showed that the Director had reached the limit of his patience with the current situation at the headquarters. Otherwise, the Director, who was so concerned about his reputation, would not do this.
By the time Chu Lingyun gets here, if the situation hasn't improved, he'll probably be the first to be in trouble.
After Henian left, the director hesitated for a while before picking up the phone and asking for a long-distance number.
Wang Yuemin was in his office. The case closing report and the top-secret telegram had been sent out. He didn't think about any rewards from the headquarters. He had made so many contributions and there was no reward for him.
For this purpose, he specially modified the case closing report to minimize the number of times Chu Lingyun appeared.
It's not that he was unwilling to help Chu Lingyun to gain credit. If He Nian hadn't been thinking about him, Wang Yuemin would have been happy to help Chu Lingyun write more about his achievements to facilitate his future promotion.
"Yuemin, you did a great job at Wuhan Station this time. I will recommend you for a commendation. You have been a lieutenant colonel for a while, so I will help you file a promotion report to colonel."
After the call was connected, the director's tone was very good. He not only praised Wang Yuemin, but also personally recommended merit for him and helped him get promoted to a higher rank.
Wang Yuemin was filled with excitement, but a word from the director made his whole body cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
