"Commander, the person I'm talking about is Zhou Yuanju, the former station chief of Nanjing Station."

The reason why Mao Long mentioned Zhou Yuanju was that after the Nanjing Station of the Military Control Commission was completely wiped out, Zhou Yuanju returned to Shancheng and was ordered by Dai Yunong to be detained and interrogated. He was then imprisoned in the prison of the Military Control Commission in Shancheng, awaiting processing.

When Zhou Yuanju was the deputy director of the Operations Department at the headquarters, he had a good relationship with Mao Long. Knowing that Mao Long was the confidant of the bureau chief, he deliberately flattered Mao Long and often gave him money and gifts. This time when he was imprisoned, Zhou Yuanju's wife gave Mao Long another large sum of money and asked Mao Long to help rescue Zhou Yuanju.

Mao Long took the money and since he had a good relationship with Zhou Yuanju, he agreed to help rescue Zhou Yuanju.

It just so happened that this opportunity to urgently need people came about, and Dai Yunong was in a good mood, so Mao Long felt that this was an opportunity to rescue Zhou Yuanju.

Of course, Mao Long also has his own little tricks. He is also an ambitious man who has been secretly cultivating his own power. This time, he saved Zhou Yuanju, and Zhou Yuanju will definitely be grateful to him and follow his lead.

Of course the key is to convince the bureau chief.

Dai Yunong was stunned and asked:

"Zhou Yuanju? Isn't he in prison, under investigation, awaiting sentencing?

Such a big incident happened at Nanjing Station, he cannot escape the blame, how can you think he is the right person? "

"Commander, first of all, Zhou Yuanju is an operational person. He has uncovered many underground Red Party organizations when he was in Nanjing, so dealing with Japanese spies should not be a problem for him.

Secondly, he was indeed guilty of the Nanjing Station incident. If the bureau chief asked him to redeem himself with meritorious service, he would definitely seize the opportunity and do his utmost to crack down on the Silver Fox Group and absolve himself of the crime.

Because of the above two considerations, I think he is a more suitable candidate.

This is just my personal suggestion. Please consider whether it is appropriate. "

Dai Yunong thought about it and felt that what Mao Long said made sense. He really didn't have any other suitable person available at the moment. Compared with others, Zhou Yuanju was a more suitable candidate.

He thought of this and said:

"Okay, I'll give him a chance to redeem himself. Tell him that if he messes up this time and fails to catch the Silver Fox Team, I will punish him for multiple crimes and I will never let him off easily.

Bring him out to me immediately."

"Okay, Chief, I'll do it right away."

Mao Long was delighted.

Zhou Yuanju was saved, he thought. With the intelligence from Shanghai Station, it should not be difficult for him to catch the Japanese spy through Chen Zongmin.

If this goes wrong, then it's not Mao Long's fault, and he has nothing to say.

……

Mao Long took Dai Yunong's warrant and immediately went to the Military Control Commission prison, completed the formalities, and brought Zhou Yuanju out.

As soon as Zhou Yuanju saw Mao Long, he knew that the money his wife gave him was not given in vain. Mao Long must have said something good about him in front of the bureau chief, otherwise he would not have been released.

He said gratefully:

"Secretary Mao, thank you so much. I was released this time thanks to you. If you need me, Zhou, in the future, just ask. I will definitely do my best."

"Brother Yuanju, it's too early for you to thank me now. Although you have been released, you are still a criminal.

Japanese spies are now rampant in the mountain city, and anti-espionage work has not improved. The bureau chief is very dissatisfied.

The bureau chief was also criticized by the chairman of the committee for this, and was under great pressure.

He originally wanted to transfer Chu Yuntian from the Shanghai Station back, but I persuaded the station chief to give up the idea. I recommended you to him and asked you to act as the deputy director of the Operations Department and take charge of the anti-Japanese spy work.

This is a good opportunity for you to redeem yourself by making amends for your crime. If you do it well, you will not only regain your freedom, but also be reinstated.

If you don't do it well, you will be punished for both crimes, and then I won't be able to help you.

Besides, I recommended you. If I don't do it well, how will the chief look at me? I'm afraid I'll be implicated by you, so you can't let me down this time!"

Mao Long said with a serious face.

Zhou Yuanju immediately felt the pressure.

"Secretary Mao, I will definitely not let you down. Don't worry, I will do my best to do this job for my own sake and I will never let you down!"

He said it with certainty, but in fact he had no confidence in his heart. Director Xu Shiguang was personally in charge of the anti-espionage work, but he had not achieved any results. How could he do it if he took over?

But he didn't have time to think too much now. Things had come to this point and he had no choice but to go ahead and hope that luck would be on his side so that he could uncover the Japanese spy and redeem himself for his crime.

Mao Long seemed to see his lack of confidence and said with a smile:

"Brother Yuanju, you don't have to worry too much. We have just received intelligence that Chen Zongmin, the head of the Japan Section of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has been recruited by the Japanese spy Silver Fox Group.

This is a good opportunity to uncover a Japanese spy. I believe you know what to do without me telling you."

Zhou Yuanju was overjoyed when he heard this and said:

"Secretary Mao, of course I know what to do. With this clue, we won't have any trouble catching the Silver Fox Japanese spy group."

He looked very confident. Then he asked Mao Long with some concern:

"Where did such important information come from? Is it reliable?"

"You don't need to worry about where the information comes from. The source of this information is top secret. Only the director and I know it. You don't need to know it.

I can only tell you that this information is absolutely reliable. Don't worry, just do your own thing.

Okay, I won’t say any more. Now follow me to see the chief.”

Mao Long said impatiently,

I thought to myself, Zhou Yuanju asked too many questions. Is this what you should ask?

Why ask so many questions? Just do your own thing.

Zhou Yuanju saw that Mao Long was unhappy and felt that he had said too much, so he quickly said respectfully:

"Secretary Mao, I was overthinking. I shouldn't have asked that. I'll go with you to see the director right now."

Zhou Yuanju thought, as long as the intelligence is reliable, it will be easy. The source of this intelligence is so top secret, it is probably obtained from the Japanese.

The Military Intelligence Bureau must have an insider among the Japanese, otherwise it would not have been able to obtain such top-secret intelligence.

After returning to the bureau headquarters, Mao Long took Zhou Yuanju to the bureau chief's office, and Dai Yunong called Xu Shiguang, director of the operations department.

Xu Shiguang didn't know why the chief wanted him to go, but he guessed that he was called to get scolded. He also knew that he had made no progress in his counterintelligence work and the chief was very dissatisfied.

He was feeling very nervous and anxious. He hung up the phone and immediately rushed to the director's office. As soon as he entered, he saw Zhou Yuanju there and was very surprised.

I thought, isn’t Zhou Yuanju imprisoned in the prison of the Military Control Commission headquarters, awaiting his fate?

Why are you here?

Will the director not hold him accountable for his crimes, release him, and reinstate him to his original post?
