Chapter 286 The New Minister  Back to the Intelligence Department, Zuo Zhong announced the personnel arrangements. Some people were happy and some were worried. The happy ones were Song Minghao and others, but the sad ones were that the personnel who would be transferred to other departments would have no money to make money. However, no one dared to make an assassination. Even if the reorganization of the Intelligence Division was decided, Zuo Zhong returned to the office and started busy with the paperwork for the Butterfly Group case. This case took a long time and there was a lot to write.  In the end, within two minutes of writing, he received an unexpected phone call. “Secretary Shen, I’m Lao Li from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I haven’t seen you for a long time. There is a reception tonight at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Would you like to come and sit down? The young people in the ministry miss you very much.” Zuo Zhong realized that it was Director Li from the East Asia Club case. Since the end of the case, the two had not had much contact. After all, what happened at that time frightened the other party. So what does he mean by calling now, and whether Mr. Shen’s identity needs to be continued. Zuo Zhong thought about it for a second and decided that he must continue to operate under cover of his identity. If we encounter another mission that requires lurking and disguise, there is no guarantee that the other party will be as easy to fool as Liang Yuandong. Now we will slowly develop our identity to increase our credibility so as not to have to act on the spur of the moment again. As for whether Dean Wang will notice, this can be easily solved. Let the outside world know that Mr. Shen has been suspended for a month. After all, no one knows what happened within the East Asia Club. Zuo Zhong immediately smiled and said, "I miss you all too, the time and the place."

“At seven o’clock tonight, the banquet hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, see you then.” "OK, bye." Zuo Zhong hung up the phone and called the interrogation room and asked them to send something up. He felt that the purpose of Director Li's call was not only to invite him to the banquet, but also to recruit people. For example, Mr. Luo Wenxin, who is in the detention center, his father is a staff officer of a major general. He found many connections to plead for mercy, but was blocked by Dai Chunfeng. Maybe I heard somewhere that Director Li knew Mr. Shen, and also heard that Mr. Shen had great supernatural powers, so Major General Luo asked Director Li to come forward and intercede. Just as he was thinking about it, a special agent sent Mr. Luo’s interrogation record. Zuo Zhong took a look at it and found that the other party admitted on the electric chair that he had an affair with the Japanese spy Yu Xueping, but he did not know her true identity.  At the same time, by comparing the operation times of several Japanese spies, Luo Wenxin has alibi and witnesses, but these cannot prove that he has no problem, such as whether he has inadvertently disclosed intelligence.  Luo Wenxin cannot be released for the time being. But Director Li had to give him some face. He was with them from birth to death. If they didn't show any kindness at all, I'm afraid it would be difficult to deal with him in the future. Zuo Zhong crossed his legs thoughtfully. Six . Zuo Zhong put on Mr. Shen's shirt. The unsmiling intelligence section chief turned into a carefree and carefree young man. He drove a car with a changed license plate and drove around the city several times before heading to the banquet hall. The banquet hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is actually the internal restaurant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is very luxuriously decorated and is considered a first-class venue in Jinling. There are also chefs who specialize in cooking delicacies from various countries to entertain foreign guests. As soon as he parked the car, he saw Director Li walking over with his eyes narrowed, his old face smiling like a flower, and he was so impatient. This showed that this guy must have received a lot of dirty money.  “Secretary Shen, long time no see.” Director Li helped Zuo Zhong open the car door with a frightening enthusiasm. Zuo Zhong was even more worried in his heart, what big talk did Director Li say to Major General Luo? I'm afraid there won't be a good dinner tonight. On the surface, he held Director Li's hand and said happily: "Long time no see, brother is currently busy with a case. As you know, this matter involves the safety of the leader, which is really sensitive.  According to the instructions of the Chairman, all persons involved in the case must be dealt with severely. The job of offending people is the most difficult to do these days. If your brother hadn't spoken, Shen would really not want to come out of the Secret Service. " As soon as Zuo Zhong opened his mouth, he blocked the other party's way to plead for mercy and get people. Don't take any money you have. If a small director rashly gets involved in this matter, he will lose his official position at best, and lose his head at worst. Director Li smiled awkwardly and said: "Master Shen's words really make Li feel embarrassed. Let's go to the banquet first. Tonight is a reception banquet to welcome the new British Minister to China."

 “The new minister? What is his name?” Zuo Zhong straightened his clothes and asked curiously. He remembered that the last British Minister to China had only been in office for more than a year, so why was he suddenly replaced? What happened behind the scenes. Director Li accompanied him to the banquet hall and said: "The former British Minister made some inappropriate remarks on the Manchukuo issue, and the Chairman made a strong protest to the British government. It happened that the former minister to China was unwell, so London replaced him. The new minister was Bai Longdu, the former British consul in Peking. This man had a kinder attitude towards the Republic of China. " White Longdu! Mr. Jiaqian is coming to Jinling! Zuo Zhong's steps slowed down. This was his old friend, no, the masked man's old friend. He was really lucky. He had been promoted and made a fortune in less than two years. While they were talking, the two of them walked into the banquet hall and opened the door. Elegant symphony followed. Men and women were dancing, and a big fat man was talking loudly surrounded by everyone. “I was face to face with the masked man, and his gun was only a few inches away from me, but I was not afraid because I had the powerful British Empire behind me.” Bailongdu smiled proudly.  Speaking of this, he looked around: "Ladies and gentlemen, the British Empire will never allow radical organizations like the Northeastern Republican Army to exist. This is also the reason why the former Minister Ban made wrong remarks.  Here, I would like to assure my Chinese friends that the British Empire has always been committed to maintaining friendly bilateral relations with the Republic of China, and will never support the puppet Manchukuo, nor will it recognize the legitimacy of the puppet Manchukuo. "  “Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.” The people present applauded with excitement on their faces. Although this was not the first time that the European and American powers expressed their opposition to the puppet Manchukuo, it was a worthwhile trip to hear the British minister say it with his own ears. “A good actor.” Zuo Zhong applauded and whispered. Director Li smiled broadly: "Well, it's better than being a bastard." Brondo smiled and waved to everyone, and walked to the champagne tower nearby. After talking so much, he was really thirsty. Unintentionally, he saw Director Li and a young man looking at him. He knows Director Li, the Chinese Director of the European Department. He is a nice guy. Although it is somewhat surprising that a diplomat cannot speak English and French, it does not matter. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of every country has a group of knowledgeable translators. The bosses who don't know foreign languages ​​can just let these people do it for them. It's just why the young man next to him looks so familiar. Blondo hesitated for a moment, then came over with a champagne glass: "Director Li, it's really nice to see you again. If you have time, you can come and sit at my place to enhance the understanding between China and Britain." Director Li puffed out his chest and said in a familiar manner: "Okay, Minister Bai Longdu, I just want to ask about the joint operations between China and Britain in Southeast Asia. The countess was in Aurous Hill last time." "Please wait a moment." Bai Longdu is a veteran diplomat who still has basic vigilance. He looked at Zuo Zhong and asked: "Director Li, is this your son? ?” Hearing this, Director Li wanted to beat this man. Can you say this nonsense? The man named Zuo was determined to retaliate, so he took revenge. This was the fate of Liang Yuandong and the gang of Japanese spies who were thrown down the stairs. So he quickly explained: "Dear Minister Bai Longdu, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Shen, a relative of the Chairman. He does a lot of business in Jinling and is a powerful figure." Bai Longdu suddenly realized that he was the junior of the Chairman of the Generalissimo, but he didn't look like it. He greeted him reservedly: "Mr. Shen, I'm really sorry. You are welcome to visit the British Embassy." Zuo Zhong seemed to be indifferent to his rude behavior. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing four white teeth: "Hello, Consul Bailongdu, I heard that you have been staying in China for a long time. Let's have tea with you when you have time." 　　His! Hearing what Zuo Zhong said, Bai Longdu was heartbroken. He once again confirmed that he had met the other party, but where? He rarely came to Jinling. Could it be that they had met in Peiping? He squinted his eyes and said: "Mr. Shen, we will definitely drink tea together if we have the opportunity, but please forgive me, have we met before? Why do you feel so familiar to Mr. Shen? Have you ever been to Peiping?" Zuo Zhong kept smiling: "You must have remembered wrongly. Shen has never been to the north, but he has heard of your heroic performance in the Liuguo Hotel case. Did you ever see the masked man after not knowing about this incident?" There is no airtight wall in the world. There have long been rumors that Bai Longdu colluded with the robbers and robbed the Japanese of 7 million and the shares of the Six Nations Hotel. Especially the Japanese believed it.

Therefore, countless people have asked him this question, and even London has sent special agents to investigate. It is said that there is hundreds of thousands of pounds of wealth, and they also want a share of it.  God testifies, except for blackening the Japanese shares, he didn't get a penny, so when he heard this question, he explained with a dry smile: "I have never seen him again, some rumors are not credible."  “Oh, let’s talk.” Zuo Zhong replied casually, nodded to the two of them, and walked towards the young people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When these people saw the legendary Mr. Shen coming, they quickly nodded and bowed to say hello. Watching him slowly walk away, Bai Longdu shouted in his heart: What do you mean, I really haven't taken any money from the Japanese! Even the hotel's dividends went into the pockets of a big shot in London.  Otherwise, even if the former ambassador goes crazy immediately, it will not be his turn to take over. There is a large group of officials lined up in the port city. In Chinese terms, he is now a standard two-sleeved breeze. Director Li looked at the pale British Minister and said tentatively: "Mr. Minister, the dinner is about to begin. Do you have any special needs? For example, you are not interested in certain foods."  “Meat, there must be meat!” The Minister said firmly.  (End of this chapter)
