Spy Shadow

The enemy was extremely jealous when they met, and the thief's brother had already determined that this man was the brother who killed him.

Seeing that Lu Dakang didn't move, the thief brother immediately ran over. Ran Wu was very close to them and had been making preparations secretly. If the thief brother was not Lu Dakang's opponent, he would help.

Do it secretly and you won't be discovered.

"what are you doing?"

Lu Dakang shouted hurriedly, reaching out to touch the gun. Unfortunately, he didn't know that the other party wanted to kill him just now, and the distance between the two was so close.

As soon as he took out the gun, the thief brother was already at his side.

The thief brother kept clutching the sharp knife in his arms. When he came to the side, he couldn't help but pulled out the knife and stabbed Lu Dakang.

Before Lu Dakang could shoot, he was stabbed in the stomach.

"What are you doing, Coyotito, do you remember, I am his brother, you killed my brother, I want you to pay for his life."

The thief's brother took out the sharp knife and stabbed it in again.

It's summer now, and his clothes are not thick at all. The thief's brother sharpened the butcher's knife very sharply, and after stabbing it in, he turned it several times. Lu Dakang felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

"Xiaozi? How did you know it was me?"

Lu Dakang retreated continuously, fell to the ground with a thud, and dropped the gun in his hand. He clutched his stomach and asked with difficulty.

"It's really you."

The thief brother became even crazier when he heard his words. He picked up the knife and stabbed him hard again.

This time it's the heart.

It wasn't that the thief brother had killed someone before and knew where the heart was. It was just the position where Lu Dakang fell to the ground at this time, so he stabbed the heart in the right place.

Lu Dakang's eyes widened and he could no longer speak. He could feel life passing quickly, but he couldn't figure out how the other party knew this?

And find him so accurately to take revenge?

He obviously did it very cleanly, but it's a pity that even when he got down there, he still couldn't figure out the facts.

The thief's brother stabbed Lu Dakang more than ten times. He was a coolie and strong. After Lu Dakang died, he sat down on the ground and gasped for air.

He didn't kill the wrong person, the murderer just admitted it.

But after the murder, he suddenly felt fear, glanced left and right, and ran away immediately.

"It's done."

Ran Wu said to Feng Yong, who had just taken off his makeup, and stared at the escaping brother thief.

He couldn't run away. He was covered in blood. How could he leave the city like this? He just wanted revenge and didn't make any preparations at all. He had prepared a set of clothes in advance. If he puts them on now, he would definitely be able to escape.

Now that it's late, I'm afraid he won't be able to run home and will be caught by the police.

Ran Wu now only hopes that he will not resist the police and not be beaten to death. If he is not beaten to death, he will still have a chance to save him.

"go back."

Feng Yong gave the order, and the two left quickly. They took the opposite road. The movement here shocked people. Someone had the courage to come over, and found Lu Dakang lying on the ground.

"Killing people."

The shrill shouting attracted more people, and soon the patrolman came over. Lu Dakang was here to monitor, and he was wearing plain clothes.

However, he had ID on him and found out that he was from the inspection room of the Second Hall. The police were shocked and hurriedly reported it.

"Ring ring ring."

Chu Lingyun's phone rang at home. He had just arrived home and was waiting for the call.

If the plan fails, it will hang up after three rings. If it succeeds, it will keep ringing. If it succeeds, Feng Yong does not need to call.

After four rings, Chu Lingyun answered the phone.

"What, I'll be there soon."

Chu Lingyun acted very well, pretending to be very shocked. After hanging up the phone, he immediately called for the guards and took him to the place where Lu Dakang's accident happened.

The place where Lu Dakang died was surrounded by police and there were many people watching.

"director."

Chu Yuan arrived earlier than Chu Lingyun. This was his doorstep. When something happened to Lu Dakang, the police first called the inspection room. Chu Lingyun and Chu Yuan both received the call.

Director Zheng is on his way.

"What's going on?" Chu Lingyun asked knowingly.

"Not long after I arrived, I heard that a man was chasing Lu Dakang. I chased him inside and killed him."

Chu Yuan secretly laughed in his heart, but remained serious and told Chu Lingyun what he asked.

"Why is Lu Dakang here? His family is not here."

"I am not sure."

Chu Yuan shook his head. In fact, he understood better than anyone else that Lu Dakang was here to monitor him.

"Ask what's going on."

Chu Lingyun ordered that people in the inspection room were killed on the street. This was not a trivial matter. Lu Dakang was the section chief before.

His death must be shocking.

"Ling Yun, what's going on?"

After a while, Director Zheng arrived. Lu Dakang was his fellow countryman, and being killed was no small matter.

"Director, don't worry, I'm asking."

It was not difficult to ask. The person in the inspection room was killed. Director Zheng and Chu Lingyun, director of the inspection room, all arrived at the scene. Their director Wang Sheng was rushing there. The police on the scene did not dare to be careless and quickly asked A lot of things came out.

"Lu Dakang rented a house here. What was he doing renting a house for?"

Director Zheng frowned, and several people quickly arrived at Lu Dakang's house, but there was no one inside.

Lu Dakang's two former subordinates had long discovered that there was such a big commotion. When they saw the old officer being killed, they immediately sensed something was wrong and ran away in a hurry.

By now he had taken his family out of the city.

They helped Lu Dakang spy on others. Lu Dakang died under mysterious circumstances. They were afraid of being liquidated and did not dare to stay in Nanjing.

"Director, telescope."

Chu Lingyun glanced at the situation in the house and warned.

The two of them ran in a hurry and took nothing with them. The most conspicuous thing was the telescope placed by the window. No matter how valuable that thing was, they would not dare to take it with them. It was military supplies. If it was found at the city gate, they would not be able to explain it. will be taken away.

In addition to a telescope, there were a lot of cigarette butts and leftover food in the room.

The other thing is a notebook and pen.

Director Zheng picked up the book, glanced at it for a few times and frowned.

This is a surveillance record. What time did the target come back, how did he come back, what did he do, what time did he turn off the lights, and what time did he leave in the morning.

Looking down, his expression suddenly changed.

The surveillance record does not include a name, but it does mention the second hall. There is a record of coming out of the second hall. Lu Dakang rented a house here to monitor people, and he was one of his own.

What on earth is he doing?

After Director Zheng finished reading, Chu Lingyun took the book and frowned at first, but then his face changed drastically and became very ugly.

"Ling Yun, what's going on?"

Director Zheng asked proactively. Chu Lingyun didn't say anything. He came to the window and looked in the direction of Chu Yuan's house.

"Director, they are monitoring Chu Yuan."

Chu Yuan was even more shocked. He hurriedly came over, took the book and looked at it. It must be said that both of them had good acting skills. People who didn't know could not tell that they knew everything in advance.

"Director, it's me. This is the time for me to come back. There is also time to leave, and there is also time to sleep."

After Chu Yuan saw it, he immediately said to Director Zheng. Director Zheng was even more shocked: "Do you live here?"

Director Zheng didn't know where Chu Yuan lived. There was a file in the second hall, but he had never been to Chu Yuan, so he wouldn't know.

Chu Yuan was from Chu Lingyun, and was only the deputy director. It was impossible for Director Zheng to remember the addresses of every deputy under his command.

What's more, Chu Yuan was very low-key in the second hall.

"You all get out."

Director Zheng immediately asked the others to leave. The matter was a bit serious. What he was now concerned about was no longer how Lu Dakang died, but why he came to monitor Chu Yuan.

It is taboo to monitor one's superiors internally without orders.

"Ling Yun, tell me honestly, did you discover something and kill Lu Dakang?"

Director Zheng asked immediately when there was no one else. After that, he added: "Don't worry, I didn't mean to blame you. Lu Dakang deserves to die. He investigated his superior without permission. I can't spare him even if he's not dead."

"Director, Lu Dakang's death has nothing to do with me, but don't worry, I will find out what happened."

Chu Lingyun shook his head and walked out after saying that. Chu Yuan followed him out, while Director Zheng frowned.

Wasn't it Chu Lingyun who did it?

Thinking about it, it was easy for Chu Lingyun to kill Lu Dakang, and there was no need to use assassination.

Director Zheng chased him out, and Wang Sheng also arrived.

"Chu Yuan, this matter concerns you. You need to avoid it. Wang Sheng comes here."

Chu Yuan cannot be brought into the investigation this time, but Wang Sheng can. He is the police chief and has more people under his command.

"Sir Chu."

"Many people have seen the murderer. I'm asking Yang Jian to come over now and prepare a portrait."

Chu Lingyun ordered, and Wang Sheng nodded immediately. Before he could give the order to call the people who had seen the murderer, a police sergeant hurried over.

"Director, we caught him."

"What caught."

"The murderer was caught."

The police sergeant under his command said quickly, and Director Zheng happened to come out and heard what he said.

"Who is the murderer?"

Before Wang Sheng could ask, Director Zheng asked immediately. The police chief glanced at his own director, and Wang Sheng immediately scolded: "This is Director Zheng from the Second Office. Answer quickly."

"yes."

The police chief was shocked. The person who asked him was actually a director.

"The murderer was a coolie. After we caught him, he confessed that he was the one who killed him to avenge his brother."

The thief's brother was still caught and could not escape.

He was covered in blood and was discovered by the patrol before he reached home, who immediately took him away.

At that time, I didn't know that he was the person who killed him. Later, I learned that a murder had occurred here, and the police who caught him hurriedly asked him.

There are no mobile phones in this era, so we need to make phone calls to communicate, which wastes a bit of time.

"Coolie, avenge your brother?"

Director Zheng is getting more and more confused, but if the murderer can be caught, it must not be Chu Lingyun's doing. If Chu Lingyun did it, it would be impossible for you to catch the murderer.

"Take us there."

Chu Lingyun said, Wang Sheng did not dare to neglect, and immediately took them to the branch to interrogate the thief's brother.

"I don't know who he is. I only know that he killed my brother. If he is not my brother, he is still my biological brother. No one can bully him. I want to avenge him."

After the thief's brother was caught, he knew that he was destined to die, and all the problems were clearly explained.

Soon shopkeeper Wang and others were brought over to confirm what he said.

Director Zheng was even more shocked. Why did Lu Dakang kill a thief? What does this thief have to do with him?

"Ling Yun, the case has been handed over to you. You must investigate it thoroughly."

It was getting late, Director Zheng did not stay at the police station longer, and left in a hurry after explaining Chu Lingyun.

What Feng Yong could find out, it was easier for Chu Lingyun to find out.

Lu Dakang only had so many social circles. After checking all the people he knew, he immediately discovered that he had met Section Chief Liu of the Secrecy Bureau.

You can find clues by investigating their phone calls.

Feng Yong was the one who bribed the telephone exchange. Chu Lingyun didn't need to bribe him, he could just ask directly. The people at the telephone exchange took the money and didn't dare to say that anyone had checked before.

After Section Chief Liu was taken to the inspection room, he took the initiative to explain everything without waiting for Chu Lingyun to ask.

Lu Dakang asked him to buy all Chu Yuan's information.

Yan Lao Qi was quickly found, but Yan Lao Qi had been sent away by Feng Yong. They had asked Yan Lao Qi and they could not let others know.

Yan Laoqi disappeared, and Chu Lingyun asked people to look for him. Wang Sheng found out that Lu Dakang had gone to Xiao Xiaozi for the purpose of unlocking the door.

By this time, you didn't need to ask Director Zheng to know what Lu Dakang had done.

He was indeed secretly investigating Chu Yuan. Although his purpose was not clear, this was a fact, and he might have entered Chu Yuan's home and searched it. Coyotito helped him unlock the house, but he killed him and silenced him.

There are some doubts in this, such as why Lu Dakang returned to the previous restaurant to eat.

But that's not what Director Zheng is thinking about. This case cannot be investigated any further. His people are secretly investigating their superiors. Even if they are the deputy director, they are his superiors.

People who didn't know better thought it was him who instigated it, which would aggravate the conflict between him and Chu Lingyun.

Another point is that this is not a glorious thing and must be held down, otherwise it will have a great impact on him.

Lu Dakang was the person he arranged to enter the inspection room.

"Ling Yun, I can assure you that Lu Dakang acted privately and had nothing to do with me."

Director Zheng called Chu Lingyun and took the initiative to explain to him that he was afraid of being misunderstood by Chu Lingyun again.

He now hates Lu Dakang. He and Chu Lingyun had such a good relationship, but Lu Dakang had done bad things several times. Even after Lu Dakang died, he still felt that he couldn't forgive his hatred.

"Director, I believe you, you can't do such a thing."

Chu Lingyun smiled. Director Zheng just breathed a sigh of relief when Chu Lingyun suddenly said: "If you want to check, you won't check Chu Yuan. What's the use of checking him? Why don't you check me directly? You can rest assured of me. I want to know I will report to you any matter in the inspection room at any time, and there is no need for others to snitch."

Director Zheng's expression suddenly stiffened. He understood that Lu Dakang's behavior still caused a rift between him and Chu Lingyun.

"Ling Yun, it was my fault in teaching him properly. Lu Dakang deserves to die. I will transfer Fu Junhu immediately."

Chu Lingyun didn't mention Fu Junhu, but Director Zheng knew that it was him whom Chu Lingyun was talking about just now.

In fact, it's useless for him to have such an eyeliner. Why do he report so much?

With Zheng Guangtao here, what doesn't he know?

Completely unnecessary.

"Thank you, Director."

Chu Lingyun smiled slightly. Not only did he get rid of Lu Dakang and kick Fu Junhu away this time, but Director Zheng took the initiative to mobilize him, so there was no need for him to attack Fu Junhu.

In any case, Fu Junhu was more obedient in the inspection room and did a lot of things. Chu Lingyun was not suitable to forcefully attack him.

"Lu Dakang's two old men, find them as soon as possible. There is no need to capture them and execute them on the spot."

Director Zheng also ordered that this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it would not be of any benefit to him.

As for Lu Dakang's death, if the murderer is caught, the case can be closed and the murderer can be asked to pay for Lu Dakang's life later.

Director Zheng is not without enemies. If they really get caught, he will face a lot of trouble.

"Yes, Director."

Chu Lingyun accepted the order with a smile. It was Director Zheng who refused to investigate, not him who refused to investigate on his own initiative.

It's now possible to check it, and careful inspection will definitely reveal a lot of flaws.

However, the power to handle the case is in his hands, and there is an unknowing murderer. Chu Lingyun can give an explanation to everyone.

Until now, the thief's brother thinks that he avenged his brother and has no idea that he was being used.

There have been a lot of things going on in the inspection room these days. First, Lu Dakang was killed. Director Zheng and Chu Lingyun issued a hush-hush order and no one was allowed to tell the outside world.

But it can't be hidden from them.

After Lu Dakang was dismissed, he wanted to resume his original position. He actually wanted to attack Chu Yuan, cut off the director's absolute confidant, and force the director to re-enable him. In the end, he was killed by a coolie.

In the eyes of everyone in the inspection room, Lu Dakang simply brought the blame on himself.

He found someone to unlock the door and secretly searched Deputy Director Chu's home. Afterwards, he killed the person who unlocked the door and silenced him. Unexpectedly, he was found by his brother.

Before the matter settled down, Fu Junhu was suddenly transferred to the Seventh Bureau of Military Intelligence as the director of a division below.

Neither the deputy section chiefs of the second section nor the third section were appointed. The director transferred the deputy section chief of the first section to the second section as section chief, and then transferred Nanchang station operations team leader Zhao Dong from the Secrecy Bureau and asked him to be the section chief. .

Zhao Dong is a member of the war situation group and has been working with the fourth group since his early years.

He was very skilled and worked as Chu Lingyun's bodyguard for a while. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel in the war situation group. After the war situation group was disbanded, he was assigned to Nanchang.

There is no problem for him to be the section chief.

At this point, the three most important subjects are under Chu Lingyun's control.

The only people placed by Director Zheng are Zheng Guangtao and Fang Like.

Zheng Guangtao regards Chu Lingyun as his idol and has a better attitude than his uncle. Fang Like is a smart man, conscientious and never meddles in others' affairs.

Chu Lingyun now has the final say in the inspection office, and Director Zheng has no chance of intervening even if he wants to.

There are many people who pay attention to the inspection room, and they are not surprised that the inspection room completely fell into Chu Lingyun's hands.

Especially Qi Limin, he had already guessed this result.

Director Zheng is no match for Chu Lingyun.

Although the murderer admitted everything, Qi Limin always felt that there was something fishy inside. Unfortunately, he did not dare to investigate, and there was no need to investigate.

It was Chu Lingyun's doing. He and Director Zheng would definitely have conflicts in the future, which would be beneficial to him. If not, Lu Dakang made the decision without authorization, spied on Chu Yuan, and violated a taboo. Chu Lingyun would definitely be dissatisfied with Director Zheng.

Either way, it's good for him.

Lu Dakang's two old subordinates failed to escape in the end.

They were discovered in Hui Province and later secretly executed. The two were lucky, at least their family members were not executed and were temporarily imprisoned.

It's September.

The weather was hot, and the old man couldn't feel cool even at the summer camp outside the city.

The war was not going well, and the Red Party in the Dabie Mountains was always a threat to him. He wanted to remove this nail as soon as possible and sent out a large army. However, they were no match for the Red Party in the mountains.

Not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, the Red Party in the mountains was fighting more and more. The people he sent were purely to deliver weapons and equipment.

The people have suffered from the Party for a long time. The arrival of the People's Army immediately won the support of the people. However, the Party has done too many bad things and completely lost the support of the people. This is the bitter fruit they planted themselves.

While the domestic situation is unstable, the old man is still paying attention to foreign countries.

The United States is very important. The special envoy of Kate Gate will go to China soon to seek their help.

After all, China is a superpower with a population of hundreds of millions, and both candidates attach great importance to it.

"Mr. Reese, please come this way."

Reese got off the plane and was greeted respectfully by the officials who came to receive him. Reese was not his first time in China and was very familiar with the country.

This is an amazing country.

The industry is backward, the people live in poverty, and the soldiers are not strong in combat effectiveness. It seems vulnerable, but it is a country like this that has held Japan back for eight years.

"Mr. Reese, welcome."

The old man received Liss grandly. Liu Shukui would be even more shocked if he saw this scene. His father had just talked with Lissing not long ago, and Liss kept thanking his father.

Reese was now not only received by the Generalissimo, but also treated with the utmost courtesy by the Generalissimo.

"Dear Chairman Standing Committee, nice to see you again."

Reese responded enthusiastically. He came this time to seek Principal Chang's support for Kettlemen. Before he came, Kettlemen's rivals had secretly contacted Principal Chang again.

For this reason, Principal Chang specially summoned his confidants and held several discussions.

The United States is very important to China, especially now, and there cannot be any sloppiness in taking sides. When choosing one from the other, they must choose the right person, so that they can continue to receive assistance from the United States in the future.

Especially in terms of weapons, American weapons are more advanced and easier to use, which can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Korean army.

In the hands of the Red Party are weapons left over from previous wars, which have long since become obsolete.

They can produce it themselves, but their production capacity is limited, especially now that many of the Red Party's military factories are at a standstill, which is more beneficial to him.

"Mr. Kettlemen needs your support."

Reese got straight to the point. In his opinion, there was no problem with this trip to China, and Principal Chang would definitely support them.

Katemen's support for Principal Chang is huge, and the help is mutual. Principal Chang will definitely choose them.

"You're welcome, this is what we should do."

Principal Chang chuckled and said that he, his confidants and advisors had not decided on the final target of support, but he would definitely not tell Reese in this case.

They had a detailed understanding of the American side. Various data showed that Ketmen's support rate was not as good as his competitors. Principal Chang was not alone. Such a choice must be made carefully. He would not necessarily support Ketmen just because he had helped him. .

"Sir will be very happy to hear what you say."

Reese nodded with satisfaction, and the two parties were polite. Reese agreed to whatever Principal Chang said, but he didn't mention the money.

Reese couldn't ask for money directly, so he had no choice but to end today's conversation.

These Chinese people are always like this, they like to be vague and let others guess. Rees thought of Liu Chengzhu in the United States.

It is more comfortable to deal with people like Liu Chengzhu.

Liu Chengzhu was so straightforward that he asked him directly for the amount. After he told him, he unambiguously added a lot of money. This is a true supporter.

Compared with Liu Chengzhu, Principal Chang actually did not satisfy him.

However, the real negotiation was later, and he was not negotiating with Principal Chang. Next, Principal Song would receive him for further detailed talks.

Reese checked into the consulate and quickly picked up the phone.

"I'm Chu Lingyun, who are you?"

The phone on the desk rang, Chu Lingyun picked up the phone and said casually.

Reese got the phone number from the receptionist. He also had a mission when he came to China this time, which was to meet the real benefactor, Chu Lingyun.

Liu Chengzhu is just an agent. Now that he is here, it would be inappropriate not to meet the sponsor.

What's more, the financial owner promised them that they could add more money in the future. The first installment would be five million, and an additional five million could be added in the future.

That adds up to ten million.

With so much money, I can help them do a lot of things. When I saw Chu Lingyun, I just wanted to implement the follow-up five million. Even if I don't give it now, I just need to tell them a specific time so that they can make a better plan.

"Hello Mr. Chu, I am Mr. Kettlemen's special envoy Reese. Do you have time? I would like to make an appointment with you."

Reese was more polite. He knew Chinese and spoke stiffly, but Chu Lingyun could still understand him.

Chu Lingyun was stunned for a moment. Reese came to China?

The arrival of the special envoy was the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and had nothing to do with them. During this period, Chu Lingyun was busy investigating Lu Dakang's murder and reorganizing the inspection room, so he had no time to take care of this.

"When did you arrive?" Chu Lingyun asked politely.

"I just met Mr. Chang today."

"Well, you have a good rest today. If you have time tomorrow night, I will treat you to dinner and chat while we eat. If not tomorrow, I will visit you anytime you are free."

"No problem, it's decided."

Reese happily agreed. Seeing how considerate he was, knowing that he had just arrived, he let him rest first and meet again tomorrow.

And he specifically stated that he would meet when he had time. If he didn't have time, he could come over at any time at his own time.

This attitude made Reese very satisfied.

Chu Lingyun is Chinese, but he is also a capitalist, a big capitalist, the kind that can be counted in the United States.

Although Chu Lingyun is not among the top in the United States now, he is young and has a short development time. Moreover, his pharmaceutical business is very good and he controls so much media. Many people are optimistic about his future.

Including Mr. Kettlemen.

After hanging up the phone, Reese went to wash up and prepare to take a rest. After flying for so long, he was indeed a little tired.

The old man summoned Dean Song and other confidants, as well as consultants who specialize in American studies, and they have arrived in the conference room.

"Commissioner, I still think Dunis has a higher chance of winning. Although he lost the election last time, his approval rate was very high, and he has the support of many people. He has a natural advantage in the votes."

"I agree with what Advisor Xu said. Many things in Kate Gate do not satisfy the American people. Whether it is the media or the capitalists, they are not optimistic about Kate Gate. The possibility of Dunis taking office is very high."

The two consultants spoke one after another, and the old man's indecisive temper was revealed again. That's what he said, but the current incumbent is Kate Gate. Can Dunis really defeat him?

"As for the appointment, Katemon's biggest disadvantage is that he has never experienced an election and is a successor. Although he defeated Japan after taking office, it was mainly due to the work of his predecessor. Americans did not recognize his ability that much."

"The most critical point is that his internal control is not that strong, and internal chaos is a taboo."

Consultant Xu spoke again. Four of the five consultants supported Dunis, and only one was optimistic about Katemen.

"okay, I get it."

The old man waved his hand. This kind of major matter cannot be decided in one or two meetings. It needs to continue to be discussed. At the same time, it must look at the situation in the United States before making a final judgment.

The general election is next year, not this year, and there is still time for him.

The old man was very conflicted. He now had a pretty good relationship with Ketmen. Ketmen supported him a lot, but Ketmen had criticized him and had strong opinions on the corruption of the Fruit Party.

What he has to do now is to calm down the Red Party as soon as possible and fully grasp power, which can reduce his dependence on the United States.

That way, he wouldn't need to pay special attention to Kate's attitude.

"Commissioner, Mr. Rees just called the Second Department Supervision Office and it was Director Chu."

As soon as the old man came back, the attendant came to report that Reese was the special envoy, and his every move was watched, but no one here dared to monitor his phone calls, and they didn't know what he said on the phone.

"Looking for Chu Lingyun?"

The old man immediately understood that Reese's purpose in finding Chu Lingyun was also to seek support, and Chu Lingyun had this ability.

In China, there are not many people with this qualification and ability.

"Commissioner, would you like to ask Director Chu?"

The attendant asked carefully, and the old man shook his head: "Let him come."

It's not convenient to talk about this kind of thing over the phone. We'll ask in person.

"I'll be there right away."

Chu Lingyun got up immediately after receiving the call from the old man. The old man suddenly wanted to see him. He didn't say the reason, but he knew without guessing that it must be related to Reese.

"Student Chu Lingyun has met the principal."

Arriving at the old man's camp, Chu Lingyun first saluted. This was his attitude.

"Sit down and talk."

Seeing Chu Lingyun, the old man smiled and waved his hand.

"Ling Yun, why is Reese calling you?"

As expected, Chu Lingyun did not hide it, and immediately explained that Reese wanted to see him, and the two made an appointment tomorrow.

"Ling Yun, you have many industries in the United States. Who do you think will win this time?"

The old man asked proactively, and Chu Lingyun did not hesitate: "I am optimistic about Kate Gate."

"Katemen?"

The old man was a little surprised. Chu Lingyun was so smart. He thought he would be as optimistic about Dunis as the other consultants, but he didn't expect that he would support Katemen.

"Why?"

"Kettlemen did not do a bad job. The most important thing is that he led the United States to victory."

"But he took over too late. His victory was entirely the result of the foundation laid by his predecessor and had little to do with him."

The old man retorted with the words of a consultant. Chu Lingyun smiled and shook his head: "The common people won't think so much. No matter how well you do up front, the winner will be the one who wins in the end."

The old man was silent. What Chu Lingyun said made sense. No matter how much you sacrificed in the early stage of a war, whoever wins in the end will be the winner.

"Did you agree?" After a while, the old man asked slowly.

"Already agreed."

Chu Lingyun did not hide it, but he did not say that he had given five million.

"Okay, I understand. You can go back first. If there are any situations or requirements in Reese, you can report to me at any time."

Chu Lingyun stood up to say goodbye. He saw that the old man was hesitating.

He doesn't care what the old man chooses, but given the current situation of the party, it's useless no matter what he chooses and can't change any outcome.

Chu Lingyun chose Kate Gate?

The old man was lost in thought. Chu Lingyun was very smart and had a very good vision. Moreover, Chu Lingyun was right. The victory and the end of the war were the biggest plus points for Kate Gate.

People don't care who pays more, not to mention that the predecessor has already stood at an extremely high height.

The next day, the old man once again convened a meeting with the advisory group and people around him.

"I met Chu Lingyun yesterday, and Reese also approached him, and he has already agreed."

The old man came up and threw a bomb. No one expected that the person Reese was looking for was not only the old man, but also Chu Lingyun.

How can a small director participate in such a thing?

But they had to admit that Chu Lingyun did have this qualification. His pharmaceutical factory was very profitable, and Chu Lingyun had great influence in the United States.

"Commissioning, I think Chu Lingyun supports Katemen, and we should choose Dunis."

Advisor Xu said suddenly. The old man was startled and quickly understood what he meant.

Play both ways, bet on both sides.

He supported Dunis, who had a higher winning rate, and asked Chu Lingyun to support Katemen. No matter who loses or wins, it will be good for China.

"It's different. Chu Lingyun is a human being, and the appointment is the appointment. If he loses, what will happen to the appointment then?"

The consultant who supported Katemen couldn't help but refute, and Consultant Xu immediately replied: "You also said it was just in case. What if Dunis wins, what if you give up the commission again?"

"Don't argue yet, let me think."

The old man shook his head. Dean Song was not here. He went to receive Reese and would accompany Reese in negotiations today.

Dean Song would not fully agree and would hold off for now. This was his order.

It is indeed good to hedge your bets, but Chu Lingyun is different from him. Chu Lingyun does not hold a high position in the country and cannot represent China.

And he has more interests in the United States.

You should be cautious on your own side. Once you make the wrong bet, the impact will be huge.

If you don't place a bet, it won't work. People will come to your door. If you don't place a bet, no matter who wins, they won't have a good look towards him.

"Continue to observe and pay more attention to the situation in the United States."

The old man failed to make up his mind in the end. It was still early and there was no need to be so anxious. The further he looked back, the clearer he would be, which would facilitate his choice.

In the evening, Reese went to the appointment as scheduled.

"Mr. Reese, the one in front is Director Chu Lingyun."

The reception official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs accompanied Reese and waited at the entrance of the hotel. When he saw Chu Lingyun getting out of the car, he hurriedly introduced him.

People in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were already accustomed to the Americans coming to find Chu Lingyun.

But I didn't expect that the special envoy would be so grand. Not only did he arrive in advance, he also insisted on waiting at the door.

They didn't know that Chu Lingyun was already their financial sponsor. If he wasn't afraid of bad influence, Reese would be willing to pick them up.

"Hello Mr. Chu, you are indeed as young and handsome as the rumors say."

When Chu Lingyun came over, Reese stepped forward to shake hands warmly. Chu Lingyun laughed and said, "Thank you for the compliment, special envoy. Please come in."

The two of them entered the hotel. They were the only two people in the private room, and even Chu Yuan was standing outside.

"Mr. Kettlemen asked me to help convey his thanks to you."

Before the dinner started, Reese took the initiative to thank them. They were not in a very good situation right now, and not many people were willing to support them like this.

Chu Lingyun ranked first.

"Mr. Kettlemen is welcome. I think he is the best. The victory must belong to him."

Chu Lingyun's words made Reese smile. Now Chu Lingyun was speaking in English. There were many words that Reese could not understand when communicating in Chinese.

"Yes, I think you are the best. Also, you asked me to ask you if the TV station under your name can give you more support."

"No problem." Chu Lingyun agreed.

"Thank you so much."

Seeing that Chu Lingyun agreed, Reese was even more happy. There are not many TV stations in the United States now. TVs are currently considered high-end consumer goods and are not available in ordinary households. However, with technological updates and cost reductions, they will definitely become an appliance in more households in the future.

Many Americans are discerning, and they have begun to pay attention to the election campaign on television.

But now it is relatively simple, mainly to shout slogans for them, tell everyone their ideas, and let more people know about them.

"Last time, Manager Liu said that you would like to provide us with additional support. I wonder when the additional support will be available?"

“Don’t get me wrong, because your support is overwhelming, we have to plan ahead.”

After asking, Reese explained specifically, fearing that Chu Lingyun would think they were after the money.

"I understand that the money will definitely be available by September next year."

Chu Lingyun smiled slightly. The money cannot be given to them all at once. Giving it in batches makes them cherish it more. Moreover, next year will be the most critical. By then, the money will be a timely help, not the icing on the cake.

Especially in the current unfavorable situation of Kate Gate, this money is particularly important.

Money must be spent on the right place. Chu Lingyun is not afraid of spending money, but he must let the money play its intended role.

If you don’t spend it right, the effect will be halved.

If you spend it wrongly, it will be even worse and will have the opposite effect.

"Can it be earlier, to July?"

Time is a little tight in September. If the money is not available, it will affect all their plans.

"Since you said it, it will be next July."

Reese was startled for a moment, then became even more happy, and took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and drink with Chu Lingyun.

"Thank you so much, cheers."

Chu Lingyun spent the money and made them more grateful at the same time. This is the way to spend money.

There are some things he didn't say. It's not necessary now. Helping them with some ideas at critical moments can improve their success rate, and they will be more grateful then.

This will make him more important.

Rhys was more grateful to him now than before.

They didn't drink much wine and didn't touch the food much, but both of them were satisfied. Reese returned to the room and couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of today's negotiation with Dean Song.

They are all Chinese, why is the gap so big?

Principal Chang was obviously trying to shirk the situation, promising very well, but without any substantial progress. On the other hand, looking at Chu Lingyun, he was just an inconspicuous director under Principal Chang, but he supported them so much.

Not only is the money there, but there is also a future.

Without Chu Lingyun, their campaign funds would not be so sufficient. Although the outside world is not optimistic about them, everyone around Kate Gate is very confident that they will win this time.

They firmly believe in this.
