Spy Shadow.

Chapter 1108 Development First
United States, airport.

As soon as Chu Lingyun got off the plane, someone came to greet him.

"Hello, Mr. Chu."

The person who came was Hunter, who was currently in charge of the campaign for the entire team. They didn't have much confidence in the election this time, as the incumbent was doing a very good job and had a high prestige, so it could be said that their chances of winning were very low.

But no matter how low the price is, they will never give up when it’s time to fight for it. What if they succeed?

Kate Gate also had low support rates at the beginning, but they were the ones who won in the end.

"Hello, Mr. Hunter."

Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. He had met Hunter before, and this time he was actually sending money to him. The campaign needed more and more funds, and he was one of the more important donors.

He would sponsor at least 10 million US dollars each time.

If he meets the right person, he will increase his sponsorship, but knowing that this time it will not be successful, Chu Lingyun will not throw money away in vain.

"Please."

Hunter took Chu Lingyun into the car. Chu Lingyun was a capitalist and a financial sponsor, so they must respect him.

The meeting process was very formal. What they wanted was Chu Lingyun's money, but they were not real friends. Then they promised to take care of Chu Lingyun in all aspects of his industry.

For example, medicines purchased by the military must come from Chu Lingyun’s pharmaceutical factory. Except for the drugs that he does not have, no other manufacturer can compete with Chu Lingyun.

However, the prerequisite is that they can only purchase on a large scale if they are successfully elected.

This is an unspoken rule that everyone understands. With their purchases, Chu Lingyun can earn more. If not, it doesn't matter. Now Chu Lingyun's industry is not just the pharmaceutical factory. As for other industries, Chu Lingyun is not too worried.

He is not running a monopoly business, so even if the other party is re-elected, don't think of targeting him in this regard.

Both TV stations and movies are operating within the law, but Loach's small TV station is skirting the law a bit. The law is not yet perfect, but they will not specifically target Loach for this.

To put it bluntly, loach has no right to be targeted.

If someone wants to target Chu Lingyun, they must use other reasons. He has never offended the other party, and his strength is not something that can be manipulated by others. There is no need to worry about the other party's re-election.

To put it bluntly, Chu Lingyun was just paying some protection money.

It’s just that the standard of this protection fee is a bit high.

The meeting ended quickly and Chu Lingyun took Long Mei back to San Francisco.

Long Mei has expressed her desire to get married.

She is no longer an eighteen-year-old girl who has blind admiration for heroes, but there are indeed enough things about Chu Lingyun that attract her. In addition, her father does not object to this marriage, so Long Mei is willing to be with Chu Lingyun.

"Team leader, you're back."

When he heard that Chu Lingyun had returned, Niu Qiu immediately brought his entire family over. He had recently bought another house and he made so much money just to enjoy himself.

This house is a manor, not far from Chu Lingyun's manor. The price is cheaper than Chu Lingyun's, at more than 6 million US dollars.

In this era, more than six million dollars is no small amount. If the last movie hadn't made so much money, Loach probably wouldn't have been able to make up his mind to buy such an expensive house.

"You came just in time. Get ready and go back to Taipei next month."

Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. He didn't bring Loach with him last time. Loach was not willing to go back now, unless Chu Lingyun specifically asked him to go back.

Even though he has investments and businesses in Taipei, the money earned there cannot be compared with that in the United States. The reason he invested was simply because he couldn't afford to lose face for the eldest son.

Fortunately, Taipei was developing well, and his factory had reliable confidants to help look after it, and it was always making money. After earning back his investment, Niu Qiu no longer cared so much about that place.

Loach did not take back all the money he earned.

The reason why some of them stayed behind was mainly to take care of their former subordinates. After leaving Fujian, they scattered all over the place and currently have stable jobs.

But having a job does not mean having everything. If anyone encounters difficulties, they can ask him for help. This money is prepared for them.

"back to Taipei?"

Loach was stunned for a moment, his brows suddenly relaxed, and he asked tentatively: "I'll go back first, is there anything I can do?"

The team leader would not let him go back for no reason. He must have something to arrange for him.

"Yes, guess what it is."

Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. Loach was the smartest one. Only Loach could see his true identity and supported him silently.

"Are you going to attack Qi Limin?"

Loach's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked quickly. He was indeed smart. There was nothing going on in Taipei at the moment, and ordinary things were not worth Loach's personal visit.

The team leader didn't stay in Taipei for long this time. He came back from the United States because of something.

In addition, he was not completely ignorant of the situation over there. After all, he had been concurrently serving as the director of the Intelligence Department, and his subordinates would report many things to him by telegram.

Qi Limin had long known that he was not in a powerful position and was alienated by the old man.

If he goes back at this time and is asked to go ahead to prepare for the expedition, it would definitely mean that he would be asked to do something that others cannot do. Right now, apart from dealing with Qi Liming, there is basically nothing else worth doing.

Another thing is that the old commander Henian has passed away.

He was the only one related to Qi Limin. After He Nian passed away, there was no one to speak for Qi Limin.

"Zheng Guangtao is already monitoring him. Keep a close eye on him when you return. Don't worry about startling others. It would be good to scare him."

Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. Loach did not disappoint him. In fact, Loach was more suitable to take over the Inspection Office than Zheng Guangtao, and could even merge the Inspection Office and the Intelligence Department together.

But his heart is no longer in Taipei.

Loach's interest is making money. His career in the United States is booming, so there is no need for him to go back and continue to get involved in things over there.

After Qi Liming's task was completed this time, Loach's mission was completely accomplished.

It doesn’t matter if he wants to resign from the position of Director of the Intelligence Department. He can only go back for a few days a year anyway, so it’s better to give it up to avoid delaying the progress of others.

Just because Loach doesn't care about the position of director doesn't mean others are unwilling.

The eldest son had long understood Loach's thoughts. Loach did not want to stay there, and there was no point in forcing him to stay. By then, the eldest son would agree to Loach's resignation.

"I understand. I won't wait until next month. I'll go back in a few days."

Loach replied with a smile that he was willing to do this and was very proactive. He had long disliked Qi Limin, the green-haired turtle, and it was finally time to deal with him.

There isn't much going on in the United States right now, so I can definitely spare some time.

After Loach left, he went to discuss with Lily. He wanted to go back, but Lily could not go back, otherwise no one would look after the industry in the United States. Currently, their several TV stations were very prosperous, earning up to one million yuan a month. Coupled with the TV factory, it was no exaggeration to say that they were making a fortune every day.

This is the focus of their industry, so please pay attention to it.

It is enough to leave Lily alone. Lily is no longer the same as before and is very good at business. No matter who it is, it will not be easy to cheat the couple.

Lily is smart, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to complete the tasks so well in the past.

In Beijing, Zuo Xuan is in the office.

"Director, someone sent us a letter of complaint."

A subordinate entered his office and Zuo Xuan immediately raised his head.

They attach great importance to any report, because of which they have caught many spies. Although there are fewer spies now, they must never relax their vigilance. The enemy has not been eliminated, and their intention to do bad things has never changed.

In anti-espionage work, we must always take every clue seriously.

Zuo Xuan opened the report letter and read it quickly.

After reading it, he was a little stunned. This time it was not a report on a spy, but someone was reporting on a newly recruited policeman.

The Beijing police department has recruited a group of new young people who are educated and capable, very good, and can serve as a good supplement to the police department. This letter of complaint reports one of them.

And that person was assigned to his department.

"Check it out right away."

Zuo Xuan ordered that the report letter was not about the new policeman himself, but said that his father had been overworked before. If this was true, he should not have passed the review. Either he was careless during the review, or he was deceived, or the reporter was maliciously slandering him.

No matter which one it is, left-hand rotation should be taken seriously.

The investigation was not difficult and it only took half a day to find out what was going on.

After listening to the investigation report, Zuo Xuan widened his eyes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The report was correct and not a false accusation. The new policeman's father had indeed been imprisoned for labor service and had been in prison for a year, which was not a short time.

But he was arrested before the peaceful liberation of Peking, and the "crime" was red.

It's not about having been in jail, it's clearly about his qualifications. They found out that the informant was a neighbor of the new policeman. His son took the exam with the new policeman, but his son failed. Out of jealousy, he asked someone to write a letter of complaint.

Unfortunately, he only knew about his imprisonment and didn’t know the specific circumstances.

Another point is that he has a low level of education. He just reported it because he heard that it would be difficult for children to become policemen if their parents had been in jail. He had no idea that such reports were not only useless, but also gave them extra points.

If it's not a false accusation, there's no need to arrest him.

But the education still needs to be given. As for the new policeman, it was a blessing in disguise. He was remembered by Zuo Xuan, and his background was clean, which is even better. His future development prospects will be better than others.

My father was arrested for a year and he never admitted that he had any connection with the Red Party and he never betrayed the organization. He was an absolutely reliable comrade. With such a family background, how could his future development be bad?
For Zuo Xuan, this was just an episode, but many people knew about it.

Even Mr. Ke heard about it.

When hearing about this incident, Mr. Ke bent over with laughter. Although the neighbor's motives were impure, this phenomenon was a good thing. The people were conscious and any suspicious person would not be able to hide.

Their counter-espionage work will also be easier.

At Taipei Airport, Loach got off the plane and people from the Intelligence Department immediately went to greet him.

When Loach came back, the eldest master did not come to pick him up in person.

The eldest master is very busy now, and ordinary people are not qualified to have him wait for them at the airport. Only a few people can enjoy such treatment, and Loach is not one of them.

Since the eldest master didn’t come, Loach had to go.

After getting in the car, he didn't even go back to his own residence, but went straight to the eldest son's office.

"Master, Zhao San is back."

After coming in, Loach immediately stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and spoke with such genuine feelings that people who didn't know him would have thought he had been sent out to do a lot of work and had just returned.

"I'm glad you're back. Did Ling Yun assign you a new task?"

"Young Master, you are really amazing. Nothing between the team leader and me can be hidden from you. The team leader said that this time we are going to attack Qi Limin."

Loach deliberately gave a thumbs up and lowered his voice deliberately, as if it was a huge secret, which made the young master laugh out loud.

The eldest son already knew what was going on, but the look on Loach's face gave him the feeling that Loach was very loyal and took the initiative to tell him important and secret tasks when he saw him.

No one hates this feeling.

"Just follow Ling Yun's instructions. If there is anything you need, just ask the people in the Inspection Office and the Intelligence Department to do it."

The eldest son nodded slowly. He had already given his instructions. When Qi Liming would be dealt with depended entirely on Chu Lingyun's mood.

However, since Loach has returned early, Qi Limin probably won’t live long.

"Thank you, sir. I will definitely follow your and the team leader's instructions and do my job beautifully."

Even though Loach is a man in his forties, he is still very good at flattering people. The young master is very happy with his flattery, but he feels a little sad when he thinks that he can't keep Loach by his side.

Loach is definitely a very capable person.

Whether in the former Military Control Commission or the later Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, when people talked about Chu Lingyun, whether they were his enemies or friends, they would give him a thumbs up.

Everyone can see Chu Lingyun's performance, and no one can find fault with him.

But Loach is different. Many people like Loach and admire Loach, but some people think that Loach is just a flatterer. He can have his current status only because he made Chu Lingyun happy.

It’s actually very simple, the loach has a very poor origin.

In this era where status and qualifications are important, being a small-time gangster is indeed not something you can put on stage.

However, the eldest son is not an ordinary person. He knows Niu Qiu well enough to understand that Niu Qiu’s success today is not due to flattery. If he can’t get things done and can only flatter, Chu Lingyun will never keep him by his side, let alone become Chu Lingyun’s number one.

Loach’s current status is due to his abilities.

His abilities are not bad at all, they are better and stronger than many people who look down on him. Unfortunately, some people cannot recognize themselves and always focus on the shortcomings of others. Those people are not even one-tenth as good as a loach.

Unfortunately, he can't keep such talents.

Loach's industry in the United States is doing very well and he has the potential for better development. He doesn't want to stay on this small island. Even if he is reluctant, he has to let him go. Fortunately, if he has something to do and asks Loach to come back for help, he will definitely agree.

Just maintain this relationship.

Nowadays, economic development is the main focus. Intelligence is important, but not the most important. Even intelligence work now mostly serves economic development. The eldest son has completely given up the idea of ​​fighting back and just wants to develop the existing territory well.

The better they develop, the more hope they have of keeping this last piece of territory in the future.
