Chapter 1025 A Lucky Mistake?
"Hey! It has to be the captain, he can take on two at once!"
"Nonsense! This is called 'besieging Wei to rescue Zhao'!"
Secretary Liu walked over at the right time: "That's the situation at the IEC. The clues that Comrade Chuchu provided later were not marked in this document."
"What did she say?"
"The situation in North China..."
Old Wang jumped off the windowsill, not even caring about the little rascal: "Speak quickly!"
"When she was carrying out Alliance missions with the Bald Eagles, she came into contact with a document. It contained a list of commendations that the other side had provided to the Bald Eagles."
"Details of the commendations?"
"Yes, one of them was an award for an action group codenamed 'Night Owl', for the reason that 'in the autumn of 1946, they successfully punished the relatives of a bandit chief who had fled, which shocked the enemy and made outstanding contributions'."
"Autumn of 1946..." Old Wang's pupils suddenly contracted, "That was the time when the incident happened in North China!"
“The timing matches perfectly.” Secretary Liu nodded solemnly. “Comrade Chu Chu also recalled that although the record was vague, it mentioned that the characteristics of the operation location were similar to the environment near the ‘nursery,’ and the commendation level was very high, directly issued by the higher-ups on the other side. She only glanced at it briefly at the time, but it left a deep impression because the phrase ‘sanctioning the relatives of the bandit leader’ is rarely used in general operation records; it is usually used against important targets.”
"Night Owl..." Old Wang chewed on the code name, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his eyes blazing with fury. "Damn it! Blood debt! It really was those bastards! When are they going to cross the sea? I'm going to drag these bastards out one by one and settle all the old and new scores!"
"Yes, we will. But we still need to focus on doing what's in front of us well!"
"What's the matter at hand?"
Seeing Old Wang's confused look, Secretary Liu glared at him with exasperation: "Of course it's about the safety of the person inside! Do you think I came here just to deliver documents?"
"The Night Owl Squad that Chu Chu mentioned! You blockhead!"
Secretary Liu spoke faster: "You and I both know a little about that case from back then. According to the scattered recollections of other children in the same cave dwelling, the people who came had cloth wrapped around their heads and were carrying flashlights."
It's said that Hua Bei shouted "Uncle, I know you!" in the final moments! What does this mean? The killer may have disguised his appearance, but Hua Bei recognized him! Didn't they later find footprints that didn't belong to the orphanage, and a rare biscuit wrapper with foreign letters printed on it at the scene?
Old Wang nodded heavily: "Yes, there is this physical evidence. But later..."
"The footprints and biscuit wrappers left at the scene were extremely important pieces of evidence. But in order to prevent leaks, they were all destroyed."
Secretary Liu turned to look at Old Wang, "Old Wang, in your opinion, under those circumstances, who were you afraid of finding out about the 'leak'? The enemy? Or... one of your own?"
Secretary Liu's tone was tinged with suppressed resentment: "And during the investigation at that time, do you remember where the focus was?"
"Inside..." Old Wang's voice was hoarse.
"The investigation mainly focused on staff within the nursery and relevant officials who had contact with the children. As for external..."
"The investigation was conducted only within the nursery and not to the public. The reason? At that time, the father of the comrade in North China was already commanding a key battle on the front line, and the negotiations between the two parties were at a delicate juncture. The higher-ups were afraid of affecting morale, so they suppressed the case and dealt with it in a cold manner."
Secretary Liu's lips curled into a cold smile: "This reason is high-sounding and impeccable. But precisely because of this, a potential line of investigation extending to the outside world has been cleanly severed. Looking back now, was this truly 'putting the overall situation first,' or was someone using the guise of 'putting the overall situation first' to cover up for someone else?"
"The intelligence that Chu Chu brought back from across the ocean is very important!"
Secretary Liu continued: "The Night Owl Team was commended for 'attacking the relatives of bandit leaders.' The timing and events match perfectly. This means that the killing of Xiao Huabei back then was not an isolated incident of enemy sabotage, but a premeditated, rewarded, and clearly codenamed special operation."
To be able to accurately locate the target in such an environment, act swiftly and evacuate quickly, and afterwards keep the investigation confined to the small nursery...
This "Night Owl," or rather, the inside man who assisted him at the time, was no ordinary person. Decades have passed; given his "achievements" and cunning, would he remain stagnant?
Old Wang suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with a terrifying light: "You suspect him... that he's in a very high position now?"
"It's not a doubt, it's a reasonable speculation."
Secretary Liu crossed her arms and said, "Someone who could hide for decades, and even potentially rise through the ranks based on that 'merit,' what position would they be in now? Would they be high enough... to access some important files and information?"
Old Wang suddenly looked up, his gaze shooting like lightning towards Jiang Xia, who was speaking eloquently in the conference room: "Jiang Xia's file!"
"That's right!"
"Most of the specific projects our brothers undertake are confidential, so the details won't appear in regular files. However, his contributions, the areas he's involved in, his milestone achievements, the internal awards and evaluations he receives... all of these will be recorded according to procedures and stored in his personal file and related merit files."
These files are classified at a high level, but it is not impossible for certain people in key positions to see them.
This is where information is leaked!
Although we have done a lot of work, as long as there are human links, as long as someone has the right to access the area, the risk exists.
Ah!
That's right. That's why our ancestors said, "You can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against a thief for a thousand days?"
"and many more……"
Old Wang understood the unspoken meaning in Secretary Liu's words and gasped.
He suddenly grabbed Secretary Liu's arm with such force that Secretary Liu frowned slightly: "Wait! You mean... someone wants to use Jiangxia as bait?"
Old Wang's voice suddenly rose, his anger almost bursting through the roof: "What utter bullshit! I'm the first to object! Who came up with this bullshit plan? Is it...?"
His gaze was like a knife, piercing into Secretary Liu once more.
This time, Secretary Liu didn't even bother glaring at him. She just rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Why are you glaring at me! If I agreed to this plan of having children without an anus, would I be in such a hurry to inform you? Would I need to tell you the message that Comrade Chu Chu sent back? Comrade Wang Kui, use your brain!"
Old Wang was taken aback by his retort, his arrogance faltering for a moment, but the wariness in his eyes remained: "So now... what exactly is the plan?"
Secretary Liu sighed and gave a wry smile: "There's an internal resolution that hasn't been issued yet: strengthen security, keep things tight internally but relaxed externally. We need to ensure Comrade Jiangxia's absolute safety, and also... keep any potential moles at bay."
Old Wang breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Strengthen security... I'll call Big Guy and the others over!"
"Don't count on Big Guy and the others..."
“Currently, the only available force is the special security unit directly under the ‘Gentle Elder,’ which we can fully trust and has sufficient authority and capability to handle this level of potential threat. I have already applied for its deployment on the grounds of utmost urgency. However, it will take time to deploy, and we cannot make a big fuss about it,” Secretary Liu said in a low voice.
Old Wang gasped, "They've gone this far? Who gave this order...?"
Secretary Liu shrugged, his expression somewhat subtle: "Isn't it obvious? Right now, besides the big tiger, who would issue such an order that would be so devastating? Ha, he thinks he can get Dean Liu's support by luring out that Night Owl Squad? Bah!"
"But you were clever enough to cut off one of his four claws beforehand."
"Four claws?" Old Wang was taken aback.
"Hmm, isn't that vice commander of the navy who always stirs up trouble one of them?" Secretary Liu looked at him curiously. "What, you didn't know? I thought you were ordered to take action."
"Uh..." Old Wang froze instantly, then forced himself to remain calm and stiffened his neck, "I know! Of course I know! How could I not know!"
He muttered to himself: How would I know anything about four claws... It's just that guy insisted on sending the little brat to some big meeting, which made the kid unhappy, so I thought of making him uncomfortable... I didn't expect to actually hit the nail on the head?
Secretary Liu glanced at him with some skepticism, but didn't investigate further, turning her head to look at the conference room. Inside, Jiang Xia had drawn a bunch of diagrams that he couldn't understand.
At the same time, terms like "based on the second generation of Dahuang to initially achieve semi-automation" also popped into his head.
Secretary Liu sighed: "Prepare some food. That guy inside probably wants to preach all night again..."
