Chapter 23 Yu Zecheng's Test
"Secretary Hong! This is his statement!"
Inside the interrogation room, a disfigured agent respectfully handed a document to Hong Zhong with both hands.
"He confessed?"
Hong Zhong took the document, opened it, and read it carefully in the sunlight.
Sitting in the interrogation room chair, Hong Zhong felt no warmth despite the sunlight streaming in through the small window in the door; instead, he felt a chilling cold.
Of course, this chill wasn't from cold, nor was it from Hong Zhongyang's lack of yang energy. Rather, it was from the fact that Han Tieshan, who was sitting opposite him, was already a bloody mess and almost unrecognizable!
"Don't worry, there aren't many tough nuts to crack in my hands!"
Upon hearing this, Hong Zhong couldn't help but look up at the slightly chubby, endearing-looking fat man in front of him.
Judging from his appearance alone, it is indeed difficult to associate him with a ruthless spy.
"Liu Genbao, well done!"
"Thank you, Secretary Hong!"
Hearing Hong Zhong's praise, Liu Genbao smiled even more broadly, his already small eyes narrowing into slits.
His respect was genuine.
When they went to confiscate Han Tie's property, Liu Genbao went along with them.
Hong Zhong took it upon himself to give them a considerable amount of the confiscated goods.
There are many brave and hardworking people in the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and many people with strong professional skills, but what they lack is someone who can lead them to make money!
Therefore, Secretary Hong's prestige among them at this time was exceptionally high!
"Since he has confessed, let's report it according to his statement!"
Hong Zhong put the statements together and handed them to Liu Genbao.
"Hey, just you wait and see!"
Liu Genbao treated Hong Zhong with great courtesy.
After all, they're counting on Hong Zhong to turn their lives around!
Hong Zhongze approached Han Tieshan, and seeing his pitiful state, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
Logically speaking, Hong Zhong shouldn't feel sorry for such a scoundrel who bullied and monopolized the market, ending up like this.
But when he saw the other person's miserable state, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
After all, people like Han Tieshan in this era have long surpassed 90% of ordinary people in terms of money and power.
Even so, he ended up like this simply because a powerful figure was after his money!
Of course, this did not affect his confidence in making money; on the contrary, it intensified his desire to make money!
The reason Han Tieshan fell so easily was that he didn't have enough money!
When you have enough money, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and only then can you truly...
"Secretary Hong, Section Chief Song said you're treating us to dinner tonight?"
"That's right, you did a great job this time, you deserve a reward!"
Liu Genbao's words brought Hong Zhong back to his senses. He patted Liu Genbao on the shoulder with a kind smile:
"I'll leave the finishing touches here to you. I'm leaving now!"
"Hey, take care!"
Liu Genbao respectfully escorted Hong Zhong out of the interrogation room.
"Shengxiang, what's going on here? Why haven't so many documents been returned on time? And why are so many top-secret files being kept so carelessly?"
As Hong Zhong left the interrogation room, he passed by the conference room and found Yu Zecheng holding a meeting with his subordinates from the confidential office.
As an important department of Jinhai Station, the Confidential Office is responsible for the entire process of receiving, registering, circulating, expediting, recovering, and destroying all confidential documents, telegrams, and archives of the station.
It has three subordinate departments: the Archives Section, the Telegram Section, and the Receiving and Dispatch Section, and each section chief is a captain.
Sheng Xiang, who was being scolded by Yu Zecheng, was the head of the archives section, whose main responsibility was to classify and preserve all documents and archives.
"Director Yu, it's really not my fault."
As you know, our Bureau of Secrecy is currently dealing with top-secret documents, and we're simply too busy to keep up!
Besides, the documents are mostly borrowed by station leaders; ordinary employees simply can't get them back...
At this moment, Sheng Xiang complained to Yu Zecheng.
Although Sheng Xiang's words implied that he was making an excuse, what he said was true.
Within the Bureau of Secrecy, documents are generally classified into four levels of secrecy, from highest to lowest: red (Top Secret), yellow (Confidential), blue (Secret), and green (Ordinary).
After the documents are placed in the confidential room, they will be placed in different cabinets, which will also be distinguished by color, from high to low: red cabinet, blue cabinet, and black cabinet.
The procedures for storing and retrieving different documents in different safes are quite cumbersome.
Some cabinets, like the one in red, require both the stationmaster's and Yu Zecheng's keys to open simultaneously.
However, the people at headquarters wanted to take it easy, so they marked all documents as top secret, which caused a huge increase in the workload of the staff in the archives department!
"But you can't break the rules!"
Yu Zecheng ignored Sheng Xiang's explanations, maintaining an incorruptible and impartial demeanor.
"Um... Director Yu, I'm sorry, I also have some documents there. I'll return them in a bit!"
At this moment, Hong Zhong knocked on the conference room door and explained.
"Secretary Hong, you've misunderstood. I wasn't talking about you!"
Upon hearing Hong Zhong's words, Yu Zecheng quickly stood up and said.
"No, no, no, well, the work in your confidential office is already difficult enough, so I still have to cooperate!"
"Sheng Xiang, why don't you thank Secretary Hong!"
"Thank you, Secretary Hong!"
Upon seeing this, Sheng Xiang repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
"Director Yu, you're busy!"
After saying a few words in support of Shengxiang, Hong Zhong slipped away.
Hong Zhong spoke up for Sheng Xiang on a whim.
Two days ago, the BL army left the Military Mediation Office, and the business district clubhouse has been converted into an intelligence exchange center.
Although I don't intend to become an information broker, this is indeed a good place that I can take advantage of.
Shengxiang could very well become a springboard for him to reach out there.
"Secretary Hong, wait a minute!"
However, just as Hong Zhong was about to leave, Yu Zecheng chased after him out of the conference room.
"Director Yu, is there anything else?"
"I've heard rumors that the military police are trying to cause you trouble. Have you offended anyone?"
Yu Zecheng still had his usual smiling face, looking harmless.
"I'm doing all this for work, thank you for the reminder, Director Yu!"
Hong Zhong replied politely.
Polite and courteous yet aloof, this has always been Hong Zhong's attitude towards Yu Zecheng.
As someone who knew about Yu Zecheng's scandal, even though Yu Zecheng had never threatened him with it, Hong Zhong would still choose to stay away from him.
He did this not only in line with his public image, but also to protect himself.
As we all know, in any novel or film, the protagonist is often surrounded by the most dangerous people.
The protagonist has the protagonist's halo to protect them, but others don't!
Therefore, the closer you are to the protagonist, the more dangerous it is.
"How come your recent work involves the military police?"
"Sigh, it's all the same old Ma Kui thing, I'm just cleaning up the mess!"
"Oh, I see. Okay, you get back to work!"
Yu Zecheng smiled and waved to Hong Zhong.
After Hong Zhong left, Yu Zecheng thought to himself: If it's not Secretary Hong, and it's not Lu Qiaoshan, then it seems that person is in Li Ya's hands!
