Chapter 235 Internal Strife
Xu Baichuan and Ye Shaohong stayed in Dai Yunong's office for about twenty minutes.
Dai Yunong gave them more time than he had at the beginning.
And the benefits are obvious.
In addition to Dai Yunong's order to hand Wu Pei over directly to Ye Shaohong, Dai Yunong also made a great promise to Ye Shaohong.
He told Ye Shaohong frankly that once the storm had passed, he would find an opportunity to appoint Ye Shaohong as the deputy head of the military affairs department.
Dai Yunong's promise is different from Xu Baichuan's promise.
The levels and intensities were all different. Ye Shaohong could understand this outcome, after all, this struggle was not just about avenging the Special Service Department.
To put it more bluntly, it's still a struggle between Dai Yunong, the two Chens, the CC Clique, and Xu Enzeng.
Ye Shaohong's swift and decisive elimination of the mysterious woman gave Dai Yunong a significant advantage in the conflict.
This demonstrated the power of Dai Yunong and the Special Service.
The benefits here are endless.
It's impossible to explain in words, so it's quite normal for Dai Yunong to promise Ye Shaohong a deputy section chief position.
Not too much at all.
When power struggles at the top affect subordinates, it can be a devastating disaster; similarly, when they bring blessings, it can be an indescribable benefit.
On the way back, Xu Baichuan was still marveling at Ye Shaohong's extraordinary luck.
From the time he was unjustly arrested and imprisoned by the secret service until now, only a few months have passed, yet he has already gone through the same journey that took the older generation five or six years.
Xu Baichuan was also filled with envy.
Ye Shaohong certainly wouldn't readily admit it; he simply said that he had caught a lucky break.
If it weren't for the crucial turning point when the Party Affairs Investigation Department and the Special Affairs Department were reorganized into the Investigation and Statistics Bureau, and the Special Affairs Department expanded rapidly, even if he had made many contributions, it would have been difficult for him to rise to a higher position in a short period of time.
The two chatted and laughed, and soon returned to Xu Baichuan's office.
A few minutes later, Zheng Yaoxian also pushed open the door and walked in.
"Director Xu, Shao Hong, Wu Pei has been captured."
"However, I've run into some trouble." If Zheng Yaoxian is talking about something troublesome, then it must be something serious, which immediately piqued Ye Shaohong's curiosity.
"Zheng Ke, does Wu Pei dare to resist arrest?"
"That's incredibly audacious."
This matter concerns Ye Shaohong, and Dai Yunong had just given the order personally, so even though he was in Xu Baichuan's office, he dared to jump out and ask questions.
"Who does Wu Pei think he is? Does he even have the qualifications?"
"The real problem is Li Peilin, the director of the Third Division."
“Wu Pei is considered one of his confidants. When he saw me leading men to arrest him, Li Peilin jumped out. Although the men I brought have Wu Pei under control, they haven’t been able to put Wu Pei into the underground cell yet because of Li Peilin’s obstruction.”
"I'm afraid we'll have to have Director Xu personally handle this matter."
So that's how it is. Ye Shaohong had been wondering how Zheng Yaoxian, with his abilities, could possibly fail to catch Wu Pei, such a small fry.
Now that Ye Shaohong had heard Zheng Yaoxian's explanation, he understood.
Ultimately, it comes down to the difference in their positions.
No matter how capable Zheng Yaoxian was, he couldn't turn the tide in front of everyone when facing the head of the Third Division of the Special Service Department, who was ranked in the top ten.
This is the rule in officialdom.
Zheng Yaoxian, being part of the Special Service Department, was also a beneficiary of the system, and therefore had to maintain this order.
Ye Shaohong had also encountered this situation, and at that time he was also somewhat hesitant.
"Director Xu?"
Having learned everything, Ye Shaohong did not hesitate at all and immediately turned to look at Xu Baichuan.
"Let's go!" "That old bastard Li Peilin, he's bullying us, even coming here to bully the First Division."
"I'd like to see if he has the guts to challenge me."
Xu Baichuan had just sat down when he immediately stood up, picked up his military cap, put it on his head, and strode out of the room with Zheng Yaoxian and Ye Shaohong.
Soon, they arrived at the floor where the third location was located.
As soon as they stepped off the stairs and into the corridor, Ye Shaohong and his two companions saw a large crowd gathered in front of an office.
Their whispers made for quite a lively scene.
As Ye Shaohong and his two companions approached, they could already hear Wu Pei's shouts from inside.
"Let go."
"Did you hear me when I said let go? Are you deaf?" "Don't you even know who you are? Who am I? Do you think you petty scoundrels can arrest me?"
"Damn it, didn't you hear me tell you to let go? You're asking for it!"
The angry roar had barely faded when a scream came from inside the room, followed by a figure flying backwards out of the open doorway.
Ye Shaohong pushed through the crowd and glanced at the man; his eyebrows immediately twitched.
"Oh shit."
"This Wu Pei is too arrogant. He even dares to mess with people from our military department."
Ye Shaohong's face was grim, and Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian's faces also darkened.
What are you all doing standing here?
"Is there no work to do?" "If not, go to the training area and run laps. Nobody leaves work until they've run 10,000 meters today."
Xu Baichuan strode forward, first walking to the side of the field agent who had been thrown out, glancing down at him, letting out a cold groan, and then walking straight inside.
The moment he stepped inside, Xu Baichuan's gaze fell on Li Peilin.
"Director Li, what do you mean by this?"
"Are you trying to protect criminals?"
Xu Baichuan's decision not to act was fine, but once he did, he immediately seized the initiative and morally superior to Li Peilin.
Li Peilin, on the other hand, was not someone to be trifled with.
His ability to become the director of the Third Division was not solely due to his seniority or his relationship with Dai Yunong, but more so to his own capabilities.
So, as soon as Xu Baichuan finished speaking, Li Peilin stood up as well. "Hmph!"
"Xu Baichuan, don't put on airs with me. Just because you say Wu Pei is guilty doesn't mean he is guilty."
"Who gave you the guts?"
"You want to take someone away from my third location today? Fine, produce the evidence."
"If you can't produce it, don't blame me for dragging you to the department head for a settlement."
Li Peilin's words reached Ye Shaohong's ears, causing Ye Shaohong to immediately raise his eyebrows and a faint smile to appear on his lips.
It's obvious that Li Peilin is deliberately picking a fight.
As for the reason, it's very simple.
His brother-in-law, Murong Han, was dead, and he himself had just survived an assassination attempt; he was seething with anger. Moreover, he knew that Ye Shaohong, who was in charge of this operation, was from the First Military Section. Furthermore, Wu Pei was one of his trusted confidants.
That's why, after learning the news, he disregarded his status and jumped out, partly to protect his subordinates, and partly to take this opportunity to make things difficult for Xu Baichuan and vent his resentment.
However, Li Peilin also made a mistake.
That is, his intelligence capabilities are insufficient.
If he had sufficient intelligence capabilities, he should have known that Xu Baichuan and Ye Shaohong had just gone to Dai Yunong's office.
Then Zheng Yaoxian led his men to arrest the person.
This mistake will inevitably make him pay the price for his foolish actions...
