Chapter 2 Beware of Traitors
My grandfather is the old Red Army, and my father is also a middle- and senior cadre in the army. I am well-off and passed the strictest political review. I was admitted to the intelligence major of the Youth Officer Political College with high scores. I graduated with excellent results and was assigned to the Second Bureau of the General Staff to serve as a staff officer. I have a bright future, I am ambitious, I...
My name is Lin Qianjun, I'm in trouble!
I suddenly put down the letter paper in my hand, as if it was a bomb that was about to blow myself to pieces. I looked around in panic, and the office was silent, and I could only hear my heartbeat of Peng Peng.
Calm down! Calm down! Be calm whenever there are major events!
I shivered with my hands, my whole body trembled with tension, and tried my best to put the letter paper together without missing a single piece of paper, and stuffed it into the original envelope.
Then he found a confidential document bag from the drawer, shivered and stuffed the letter in, and sealed the bag.
It was just such a simple action, and I was sweating profusely, and time seemed as long as a century had passed.
When I opened the office door, walked out of the office, walked to the corridor, turned around and locked the door, you will see a calm young man. His body was trembling due to tension, and even twitching from time to time, and his face was so scared that he was holding a file bag, like a pack of explosives, his hands tightly pinched into fists, and his fingertips were deeply trapped in the flesh, like a frightened little beast.
I quickly walked through the corridor, came to the elevator door, and pressed the button.
The elevator came, and there were three colleagues inside. I went in, took a deep breath, and pressed the button on the 6th floor! Then I stood beside the elevator door control instrument and looked at the person with the elevator nervously.
My colleagues were all humans, and I could tell at once that something was wrong with me. They didn't say anything, each standing in a corner, staring at each other alertly.
I have arrived.
I walked to the corridor and a guard came over. I took out my ID for him to check, and my other hand was still holding the file bag tightly.
Then, I met Secretary Sui. He knew me. He was a little surprised when he saw me and asked:
"Kobayashi, what's wrong with you?"
I said:
"I have important things to see the Director."
Secretary Sui said:
"The director is having a meeting."
I said:
"Hurry up!"
Secretary Sui looked at me in confusion, and I returned a firm expression.
Secretary Sui glanced at the file bag I grabbed in my hand with an undeliberate look that you would hardly notice, pursed his lips, turned his head, and led me into the director's reception room, and then said: Wait.
Then he left.
Leave me alone standing alone in the center of the reception room.
Two minutes later, I met the director.
The director came in, followed by Secretary Sui, and then the director asked me directly:
"What's wrong with you?"
I looked at Secretary Sui and didn't say anything.
The director said:
"Come to my office."
I followed the director into his office and handed him the file bag.
After reading the letter carefully, I noticed that he did not move the letter. Then I slowly put the letter back into the original confidential document bag, took out a red top-secret file bag, put the confidential document bag into the top-secret file bag, and then quickly sealed the seal.
Then he put the file bag into the briefcase he carried with him every day and asked me:
"Who else knows this letter."
I said:
"The letter was sent by Master Xu in the communication room. I checked the seal and it was intact. No abnormalities were found. It should, it should..." I mustered up the courage to make myself look like a soldier. "I only saw it. When I saw the deep sea, I came to report to you, but I didn't see the one behind."
The director did not make a sound, sat in the chair, pinched his fists twice, picked up the phone beside him and said:
"Call Lao Xu from the communication room to come to my office immediately and prepare a car for me."
There was silence in the office.
Not long after, Secretary Sui led Lao Xu in. No one said anything and waited for the director to speak.
The director glanced at everyone, and at this time, another person pushed the door and came in, holding a pistol, and was the director's security officer, Staff Qin.
Staff Qin looked at everyone alertly, then looked at the director and waited for his instructions.
The director stood up with a briefcase and said to Staff Qin:
"You and Secretary Sui looked at them, and were not allowed to speak or leave this room. If anyone dared to disobey the order, they could shoot. Follow my instructions in the next action."
"yes!"
Staff Qin thrust his back and stood attentively.
The director was about to go out, but I couldn't help but shout:
"Director!"
The director listened to the next step and looked back at me, his eyes firm and clear.
I walked over and said softly in his ear:
"Beware of the traitor!"
The director nodded slightly and went out.
Then, the door closed.
My name is Lin Qianjun. I am a small staff officer in the Second Bureau of the General Staff. I am a very small person. I am the section chief above me, the section chief above me is the director, the director above me is the director, the director above me is the chairman, the president above me is the chairman. I am wrong, it is the chairman, and the Politburo is standing on both sides of the chairman.
I have been involved in a shocking event, just as the letter said, butterflies flapping their beautiful wings and setting off a bloody storm around the world.
I am just a little person, of course I have dreamed of doing a great career many times, standing in the hall of glory, with medals hanging on my chest. When the opportunity suddenly fell from the sky and hit my head, I was afraid.
In the director's office, after the director went out, the four of them stood there. Staff Qin was guarding the gate, squinting his eyes, and it seemed that no one was watching. In fact, every move of each person was in his control. Even if he didn't consider the loaded pistol in his hand, no one dared to move in front of him with his personal force of attacking ten. He knew nothing about what happened and just faithfully carried out the director's orders.
Secretary Sui had no expression on his face, and he stood in the position he was standing when he came in. He had seen the file bag I was holding and might notice any clues, so the director was not at ease with him. In name, the director asked him to look at Old Man Xu and me with Staff Qin. In fact, he was also looked like he could not go anywhere and could not say anything. As a secretary who had been with the leader for a long time, I guess he was very depressed.
Old man Xu was very calm and stood in the position where he came in. This was an old fox. He knew more. He had seen that letter, studied the cover, and knew the information on the envelope. Although he didn't know the content in the letter, he must have guessed that something big happened in the letter today. But he just thought it was nothing, standing there calmly, with great psychological quality.
I also stood there and didn't know what I should do. I only knew that I really couldn't say anything here, I couldn't move anything, I could only wait for someone to break the current stalemate, or wait for the director to come back to make new arrangements for us, and waiting for the fear of the unknown is a torment for me.
My psychological burden is very heavy. The director would be so nervous after reading the letter. I guess he began to believe what he said in the letter. Who would he report to? The chief? The vice chairman in charge? Or the big man?
The content in the previous letter was so terrifying. In order to make us believe his words, would the "Butterfly" write something even more deadly later?
Time passed quickly, and I was still thinking about it. A rapid phone ringing broke the silence in the office and scared everyone.
It was a phone in the director's office that rang, it was the inside phone on his desk.
Dingling, Dingling, ringing, keep ringing.
Everyone was urged by the phone ringing, and slightly adjusted their stiff body posture, staring at the phone that kept ringing. No one dared to go up and answer, so they could only let it ring.
Seeing everyone staring at the phone, Lao Xu bent down and pressed his injured left leg with both hands a few times, which immediately attracted everyone's eyes to him.
Old Xu stood up and saw that everyone was staring at him. He was not afraid at all. He continued to be his calm and gentle look. He looked at everyone, and then looked at Staff Qin and said:
"Staff General Qin."
Staff Qin looked at Lao Xu, but his right hand quietly touched the handle of the gun.
Lao Xu seemed to have not noticed it and continued:
"The director may have to go out for quite a long time. Why don't you all sit down and wait, otherwise you are still young, and I will not be able to stand the old bone that was shot by the Americans."
After saying that, he hammered his thighs.
Uncle, Uncle Xu, everyone knows that the place where you are injured is your knees, okay, why are you using your thighs to hammer it?
Staff Qin looked at Secretary Sui. Secretary Sui nodded gently, and Staff Qin said:
"Everyone comes one by one, don't do extra moves, sit down."
So, Lao Xu ran to the sofa and sat down. Secretary Sui pulled a chair with a backrest for himself. Staff Qin took a small coffee table to block the door and sat on it. They occupied the places where he could sit in the director's office, so he left me the chair behind his desk. I didn't dare to sit, and I didn't want to or squeezing the sofa with Lao Xu, so I had to sit cross-legged on the ground.
This position is too passive. If anything happens, the reaction will be slower than others. It is really a rookie who can't beat the old sparrow!
The phone rang for a while and the silence in the office returned to silence. I sat on the ground and couldn't help but think about it.
In my letter from the "Butterfly", for me, from my professional position and young and shallow insight, the most terrifying thing is to expose the identity of the "deep sea". Former Secretary of Asia of the US CIA, it was actually the comrade who invaded the enemy and was a communist. What is more scary than this?
Although I know some superheroes in our intelligence department, those names that are as bright as stars, if the "butterfly" swears to be true, then the name Jin Wudai will be one of the brightest stars in the galaxy that protects the motherland. His location is too important and too critical.
If, what I think is, if, I have not found myself beginning to believe in the "butterfly" words, and Jin Wudai has retired safely, then who betrayed him? I still clearly remember the narrative in that letter, as if it was engraved in my heart:
...... It was not until a traitor appeared in the top leaders of our national security department that he was discovered. If it weren't for the appearance of that traitor, he might have been able to hide until he died and not be discovered.
There are traitors inside us, and there are traitors!
Who will it be? Is it from our line? Or is it another intelligence department?
How high are the high-rises? What level are they? Where are they?
Why betrayal?
Which line is Jin Wudai on? Is it a military or a political person? If only a few people in this country know Jin Wudai's true identity, then the problem lies with those people. How dangerous it would be and how huge losses it would cause to the country.
I was waiting for fate to judge me. I sat foolishly on the ground, thinking about it, not caring about how the people in the room were looking at me and thinking about me.
I don’t know how long I have been sitting, but I only know that my legs have been numb, my bladder is full of urine due to tension, and my allergies have been cured. I didn’t sneeze anymore. My head is full of shiny yarn because of random thoughts, and finally it’s blank.
Suddenly, I had an idea, a more terrifying idea!
What if, what if the director is the traitor?
I woke up immediately!
Chapter completed!
