Chapter 82 Mahayana Winning Philosophy

Author Tan Tanqian's latest work, "Spy War Code: Shen Gongbao," is exclusively released for the first time!

"devil!"

"The most unfaithful are scholars; they are hypocrites, heartless scoundrels."

White Rose's pride was shattered when he hit her sore spot, and in a fit of rage, she spat in Wang Xuesen's face.

Wang Xuesen wasn't annoyed. He took out a handkerchief, carefully wiped the area clean, and smiled elegantly, "Thank you!"

"snort!"

"Scumbag!"

"Poisonous Demon!"

White Rose gave a huff and stormed off in her high heels.

"ungrateful wretch" !

"Hey bro, let's go to the next place."

Hu Junhe cursed and gestured for him to enter the second interrogation room.

Xiao Yufeng looked around anxiously.

Upon seeing Wang Xuesen, she arrogantly shouted, "Where is Li Shiqun? Tell Li Shiqun to come see me!"

"Director Li asked me to give you his regards," Wang Xuesen said with a smile, taking off his gold-rimmed glasses.

"Hu Junhe, what do you want to do?"

"Don't forget, even your Director Li has to call me 'Master's Wife,' and you have to watch your step and act according to my wishes."

"Who do you think you are, daring to arrest me?"

"Release me right now, or you'll be in big trouble."

Xiao Yufeng started scolding in a bossy manner.

"Miss Guo."

"We suspect that you leaked Mr. Ji's whereabouts to someone, which led to this tragedy. I hope you can be honest and straightforward, so as to save everyone from having to waste their breath." Wang Xuesen lit a cigarette and handed it to her.

What should I serve?

"You don't suspect me of murdering Elder Ji, do you? Are you all insane?"

"No way, who are you to talk to me like that?"

"Go, fetch Li Shiqun for me!"

Xiao Yufeng clearly didn't realize the seriousness of the situation and slapped away the cigarette that Wang Xuesen was offering her.

"I never said you murdered Ji Lao, did I?"

"Miss Guo is acting out of guilt."

Wang Xuesen picked up the cigarette and took a deep drag.

"Use torture." He waved his hand impatiently.

Several interrogators stood there dumbfounded.

Hu Junhe yelled, "Are you deaf? This guy will be the director of the interrogation room from now on, so hurry up and do it!"

"Yes, yes!" The interrogator immediately accepted the order.

Wang Xuesen beckoned to Hu Junhe to go outside for a smoke and wait.

Soon, a piercing scream came from inside.

Wang Xuesen shuddered several times, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"Brother, what's wrong? Showing some chivalry?" Hu Junhe smiled, while secretly observing him.

"A little."

"If it weren't for the director setting the tone for harming women, I would never have done it, even if you beat me to death." Wang Xuesen rubbed the goosebumps on his arms.

Hu Junhe saw it clearly, and a look of relief flashed in his eyes.

He really is a country bumpkin.

That's good. From now on, the interrogation room will have to rely on me.

"Brother, you'll get better with practice. Everyone learns step by step," Hu Junhe comforted him.

"Old Hu, you'll still be in charge of the interrogation room from now on. I'll just help out by signing off on the interrogation."

"I'm really not good at anything involving blood."

Wang Xuesen said with a bewildered expression.

"Of course, of course," Hu Junhe said without any hesitation.

The two men smoked half a pack of cigarettes before the iron gate finally opened, and the interrogator, Ma Laosan, came out: "Director Hu..."

"Ahem." Hu Junhe coughed lightly.

"Oh, Director Wang, Director Hu, Miss Guo has confessed. She admitted that besides White Rose, she also leaked Mr. Ji's whereabouts to other people."

……

office.

Li Shiqun is playing chess with Liu Zhongwen.

Last night, after Wang Xuesen left, he and Ye Jiqing talked in bed for half the night, deciding to win this person over completely before Wang Xuesen, with the support of Captain Shibuya and Captain Okamura, set up his own faction.

However, he still had some questions that urgently needed to be answered.

After all, what he needed was a helper, not a sword hanging over his head.

"Zhongwen, Bai Meigui admitted that Xiao Yufeng told her about Ji Yunqing's whereabouts."

"Do you think it's possible that Wang Xuesen approached Bai Meigui that night to find out about this?"

Li Shiqun held a chess piece in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

Liu Zhongwen glanced at him: "You suspect that Wang Xuesen obtained the information and then leaked it to the assassin?"

"What did White Rose say in private?"

"I had Ji Qing ask her, and she insisted that she had never told Wang Xuesen!" Li Shiqun said.

"Director, to be honest, there are many people who want Old Ji dead."

"Everyone knows that Elder Ji is your patron and has close ties with the Japanese. Not to mention the Military Intelligence Bureau, the CC Clique, and the Red Tickets, who among those who secretly resent you, like Zhang Xiaolin, Zhang Deqing, and Fu You'an, doesn't want Elder Ji to pass away?"

"It's entirely possible that White Rose told Zhang Deqing."

"Moreover, in terms of interests, stance, or any other aspect, Zhang Deqing is a hundred times more suspicious than Wang Xuesen."

Liu Zhongwen's tone was as calm as a lake, his gaze sweeping across the chessboard.

pat!

He placed his piece steadily.

"That makes sense."

"It seems I was being too suspicious and overcomplicated things with Wang Xuesen."

Li Shiqun is not stupid; faced with countless realities and evidence, he is not one to get stuck on trivial details.

Just then, Hu Junhe walked in.

Upon seeing Liu Zhongwen, he hesitated to speak.

Li Shiqun said, "We're all family, so speak."

"Xiao Yufeng has confessed."

"She had a lover named Bai Jusheng, who was a young male lead in an opera troupe."

"Bai Jusheng once resented Elder Ji for taking Xiao Yufeng away and repeatedly threatened to kill Elder Ji in public. He was even beaten up by the Green Gang for this."

Hu Junhe reported the facts truthfully.

"Oh? Arrest Bai Jusheng immediately," Li Shiqun ordered.

An hour later.

Bai Jusheng was arrested and, after being subjected to severe torture, he confessed to selling information for a high price.

Li Shiqun immediately ordered a portrait to be drawn.

Hu Junhe quickly recognized the person in the portrait.

"This man is named Jin Ze. His ostensible identity is a newspaper reporter, but in reality, he is an intelligence agent for the Military Intelligence Bureau."

"He had been within our surveillance range the whole time."

"After Wang Tianmu invested in No. 76, this guy became a dead piece. Since he wasn't very valuable, we stopped keeping an eye on him and just kept him out of the game."

"It now seems highly likely that he has been awakened by the new team from the Military Intelligence Bureau."

He pointed to the portrait and said.

"Military Intelligence Bureau?"

Li Shiqun frowned. "Based on the analysis of the bullets used to assassinate Elder Ji, the bullets used by the murderer were fired from 'Palm Thunder' and were coated with a deadly poison."

"That sounds like a common tactic used by the Military Intelligence Bureau."

"In other words, the Military Intelligence Bureau obtained information about Elder Ji through Bai Jusheng and carried out the assassination."

"Hmm, that makes sense."

"Arrest Jinze immediately."

"I've already notified Sibao to head over there," Hu Junhe said.

A moment later, the phone rang.

Li Shiqun answered the phone, said a few words, then hung up and sat back down, giving a cold laugh: "Sibao and the others have found Jinze."

"This guy resisted arrest on the spot and detonated a grenade; he's dead."

"So ruthless, it's undoubtedly Dai Li's doing."

Liu Zhongwen glanced at him.

Li Shiqun understood: "Old Hu, you go ahead and get busy. Oh, and tell Wang Xuesen to come over here while you're at it."

"Okay." Hu Junhe accepted the order and left.

"It seems I misunderstood Wang Xuesen. Bai Jusheng sold intelligence and the Military Intelligence Bureau committed murder. The evidence is complete. Wang Xuesen is innocent." Li Shiqun breathed a sigh of relief.

Having received this answer, he finally had a reason to convince himself.

Soon, Wang Xuesen walked in: "Director, Mr. Liu."

"Xuesen, sit down quickly."

"I've called you here today to ask for your advice."

"As you can see from the current situation, Ding Mocun and Tang Huimin have risen in power. They have joined forces with Mayor Fu You'an to squeeze my space in the police station and security team, and are carrying out a comprehensive crackdown."

"Furthermore, with Elder Ji's death and Zhang Xiaolin's domineering plundering, my life has become very difficult."

"Do you have any ideas on how to break this deadlock?"

Li Shiqun raised his hand and asked.

"Director, you and Mr. Liu are both outstanding individuals, how could it be my place to spout nonsense?" Wang Xuesen said with trepidation.

"Why!"

"Your grandfather, Old Wang, was Mr. Sun's strategist and purse. Like begets like, and you are no ordinary person either."

"Let me tell you."

Li Shiqun raised his chin, indicating that he didn't need to be so reserved.

Wang Xuesen pondered for a moment and said, "The current situation is indeed unfavorable for the director, which is why I am willing to sincerely help him at this time."

"After all, it's always better to offer help in times of need than to add to someone's already good fortune."

"Indeed, indeed," Liu Zhongwen nodded in agreement.

"As an outsider, I have a clearer perspective, and I think this situation isn't difficult to resolve."

"First of all, didn't they want to kill the director?"

"Then let's do as they wish and fight them to the death."

"Ding and Tang jointly reported to Kawamoto Yoshitaro that the director was embezzling and falsifying accounts. Fine, let him report it. The director can simply relinquish his power and choose not to act."

"This has two major advantages."

Wang Xuesen held up two fingers and said with absolute certainty.

"What are the two major benefits?" Li Shiqun asked.

"Firstly, Yoshitaro Kawamoto belongs to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Navy faction, and their main intelligence agency is the Iwai Mansion. Imagine if Kawamoto, in conjunction with other parties, put pressure on the director—whose face would that be a slap in the face?"

"It's a slap in the face to Qingqi Qingyin."

"You need to know that Lieutenant Colonel Haruki personally selected you as the director and that address is No. 76."

"They've teamed up to suppress you; that's called being out of touch with reality and not knowing who's in charge!"

"And Ding Mocun is completely siding with outsiders and betraying his own people."

"Qing Qiqingyin is probably even more furious than you, Director."

Wang Xuesen analyzed.

"Go on," Li Shiqun said, a light appearing in his dark eyes.

"Secondly, Wang Tianmu and Lin Zhijiang within Dingmo Village belong to the Military Intelligence Bureau faction, which is naturally at odds with the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. Ding is also greedy for credit and stingy, always taking credit for others' achievements and failing to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments."

"They may appear to be in high spirits now, but they are actually a disorganized mess."

"Moreover, I have personal relationships with Wang Tianmu, Lin Zhijiang and others, who have long been extremely dissatisfied with Dingmo Village's withholding of funds."

"Once the director chooses to remain silent, Ding Mocun will have to step up when there's a mission. If you then hold him back, Lieutenant Colonel Qingqi can take revenge on him openly."

"Dingmo Village will surely be defeated then."

"The four-hall system is doomed!"

Wang Xuesen waved his hand confidently.

Li Shiqun felt as if he had drunk sweet dew, his whole body felt refreshed, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief: "That feels great!"

"Xuesen's words really struck a chord with me, Zhongwen, what do you think?"

Liu Zhongwen flicked his long gown, took a few sips of tea, and asked in a sarcastic tone, "What about Fu You'an and Tang Huimin?"

Wang Xuesen said, "These two seem shrewd, but they are actually reckless. Dealing with them is a piece of cake."

"Fu You'an seized control of police power and openly flattered the Japanese by proposing the slogan 'Stable rule, stabilizing Shanghai'."

"Furthermore, this man has always considered himself a banking and business tycoon. Brother, you can find someone to cause some minor trouble for some of Fu You'an's confidants and subordinates."

"If chaos breaks out in Shanghai, the Japanese will naturally think of their elder brother."

"Thus, Fu You'an's plan was thwarted without a fight."

"In short, brother, you only need to sit here, drink tea, smoke cigarettes, and do nothing, and you've already won big. By remaining calm and composed, and by adapting to all changes, these three will inevitably crumble on their own."

"This is called winning cleverly, winning steadily, and winning consistently."

Wang Xuesen then brought up the Wang family's winning philosophy, speaking with overwhelming momentum.

"Excellent, what a brilliant strategy of responding to all changes with constancy—a win-win-win situation!"

"Zhongwen, this is truly gratifying!"

Li Shiqun exclaimed in admiration.

"Tang Huimin, yes, tell me about Tang Gou. We spared his life last time, but he still hasn't given up. This time we have to teach him a lesson." The usually composed man couldn't help but speak wildly as his emotions surged.

"Dealing with him will be even simpler."

"I heard that Xu Zhaolin, the newly appointed district chief of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, is an old friend of Tang Huimin, and they used to have a good personal relationship."

"In the previous Tang Zengyang incident, Tang Huimin was suspected of colluding with the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS)."

"If I'm not mistaken, with the director's methods, he should have one or two 'bait' agents he's keeping an eye on."

"It's time to tone it down a bit."

"What if they find handwritten letters from Tang Zengyang or Xu Zhaolin to Tang Huimin on them?"

"Therefore, you only need to lure Tang Huimin back to Shanghai and have the military police arrest him directly. Even if Mr. Wang wants to save him, he will be too far away to do so. Besides, given Mr. Wang's cautious nature, he is unlikely to offend the Japanese for Tang Huimin's sake."

"In this way, all the problems can be solved."

Wang Xuesen said.

"A good plan."

"Xuesen, it's a real waste that you have such a brilliant mind," Li Shiqun said sincerely.

To be honest...

"These strategies were taught to me by my father-in-law, Su Quanshan."

"Last night, Wanjia and I visited him and talked about the director's current predicament. He gave me seven or eight points of advice during our conversation, and I added two points of my own interpretation, which led to today's theory of inevitable victory."

"Otherwise, how could I possibly have come up with this?"

Wang Xuesen scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

His current situation is very delicate.

You also need to be capable.

But you can't be too capable.

His exceptional abilities aroused suspicion from Lao Li.

He lacks ability. Others have many capable subordinates, including a "Pang Tong" like Liu Zhongwen. If he didn't have the talent of a hidden dragon, why would Li Shiqun use him?

Therefore, it is crucial to strike the right balance.

Su Quanshan was the vice president of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, and someone who ate at the same table as Yu Qiaqing and Du Yuesheng. It was quite normal for him to impart some survival skills and ways to break through difficulties.

Thus, it can be described as the finishing touch, just right.
