Courtyard House: The Long-Lost Eldest Son Returns with Military Merit

"Guo Jianguo, male, 39 years old, favorability rating 51, loyalty rating 13."

As Guo Jianguo sat down opposite him, this information instantly surfaced in Jia Dongming's mind.

After Guo Jianguo sat down, he asked with a hint of confusion, "Section Chief, did you summon Lao Li and me here so early? Is there something important?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongming's smile faded, and he solemnly explained, "Comrade Jianguo, the main reason I invited you and Comrade Aijun here today is because of that enemy spy case that happened at the factory a few days ago."

When Jia Dongming brought up the matter again, Guo Jianguo looked doubtful: "Section Chief, wasn't that case already transferred to the Dongcheng Branch for handling?"

Jia Dongming shook his head slightly and explained solemnly, "The reason I sought help from the public security department was because I had just been transferred to the factory and I found Chen Jianfei's identity suspicious. I couldn't judge who in the security department was trustworthy."

To avoid alarming others, we had no choice but to seek outside assistance.

"Section Chief! I've arrived! I hope I haven't kept you and Lao Guo from your meeting?"

As soon as Jia Dongming finished speaking, Li Aijun walked in from outside the door and greeted Jia Dongming.

Upon seeing Li Aijun arrive, Jia Dongming immediately got up, walked to the back cabinet, took out a can of tea, and said to the two of them with a smile, "Jianguo, Aijun, I got some good tea from a comrade-in-arms a few days ago. I'd like you to have a taste."

"Li Aijun, male, 42 years old, favorability rating 67, loyalty rating 32!"

The loyal gaze swept over Li Aijun, and the corresponding data immediately appeared in Jia Dongming's mind.

Jia Dongming brewed two cups of tea and placed them in front of the two men before getting to the point: "The main reason I invited you two here today is to discuss the enemy spy case in the factory again."

Upon hearing this, Li Aijun recalled the news he had received from his comrade at the Dongcheng Branch yesterday and couldn't help but ask, "Section Chief, I heard that the branch transferred the case to the Municipal Bureau yesterday?"

This surprised Jia Dongming slightly, but considering the close ties between the Security Department and the Public Security System, he understood.

He nodded in agreement, saying, "Comrade Aijun is right. Based on the existing confessions, the Dongcheng Branch has discovered a larger-scale enemy spy network and has therefore submitted the case to the Municipal Bureau."

"But since this case is related to the steel rolling mill, I have never let my guard down during the police investigation. Recently, I have obtained a key clue—a clue that points directly to our factory."

Having learned that Jia Dongming had uncovered enemy agents lurking in the factory as soon as he took office, and had worked with the Dongcheng Branch Bureau to crack the conspiracy and protect the special workshop, Li Aijun felt a little regretful that he could not participate, but he also understood Jia Dongming's decision to bypass the security department at the time.

Upon hearing that Jia Dongming had made another discovery, and that the clues concerned the factory, Li Aijun's gaze immediately sharpened, and he urgently asked, "Section Chief, what clues?"

Jia Dongming did not answer immediately, but pointed to the open door: "Comrade Aijun, please close the door first."

Li Aijun immediately put down his teacup, quickly closed the door, and returned to his seat to ask, "Section Chief, can we talk now?"

Jia Dongming took out a pack of Peony cigarettes and handed one to each of them before slowly saying, "You two must have heard about the enemy spy case in the factory."

As far as I know, the enemy agent group led by Zhou Xudong is only a branch of the Little Days infiltration organization; there is a much larger enemy agent system above it.

"I had been here for less than a week and was not yet familiar with my colleagues in the security department. That's why I had to ask the police for help when I first noticed Chen Jianfei's abnormality."

"After recent investigation and reconnaissance, the identity of Zhou Xudong's contact person has been confirmed, and the plot of his gang has been initially grasped."

Given that the leader of this organization has connections with a certain leader in our factory.

"It has been decided that the external enemy agents will be handled by the public security authorities, while the internal parts of the factory will be investigated by the security department."

"All personnel involved in the operation must have no family ties to the steel rolling mill and be politically reliable and loyal to the Security Department."

How many qualified team members can your first and second brigades select?

If the leader of the enemy special agent group was actually the deputy director of the factory, then must the position of the head of the group be even higher?

After learning what Jia Dongming had said, and considering Zhou Xudong's position, a startling speculation simultaneously came to mind.

Guo Jianguo grew suspicious and tentatively asked Jia Dongming for confirmation: "Section Chief, could the person we're investigating be Factory Director Yang?"

Upon hearing this question, Jia Dongming nodded slightly and replied solemnly, "Based on the existing clues, Director Yang's wife, Zhang Huizi, is Zhou Xudong's superior."

The current task is to verify whether Yang Weimin knew his wife's identity and whether he had been influenced by her to become an accomplice of enemy agents.

Li Aijun had met Zhang Huizi before and knew that she was the deputy director of the logistics department of the People's Hospital.

Upon learning that Yang Weimin's wife was actually an enemy agent's contact, he looked surprised and immediately asked Jia Dongming for confirmation: "Section Chief, are you sure that Factory Director Yang's wife is an enemy agent's liaison?"

Jia Dongming was not surprised by Li Aijun's reaction.

If he hadn't witnessed Zhang Huizi meeting with enemy agents with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe.

Seeing their expressions, Jia Dongming replied decisively: "This matter is absolutely certain."

The only remaining question is whether Yang Weimin has been recruited, and this is precisely our core task going forward.

Seeing Jia Dongming's certainty, Guo Jianguo immediately reported: "Section Chief, the First Brigade can select five comrades who are politically steadfast and possess reconnaissance capabilities."

After a moment's thought, Li Aijun reported, "The Second Battalion can send four members."

After listening to the report, Jia Dongming pondered for a moment and solemnly told the two: "Comrades Aijun and Jianguo, according to the existing intelligence, Zhang Huizi has extremely strong counter-reconnaissance capabilities."

The public security authorities will be tracking him, while we need to focus on monitoring Yang Weimin and make sure to find out whether he is involved in the case.

Subscription numbers have been poor lately. I sincerely request all readers to support the official version of the book. The author is deeply grateful!

After completing the surveillance mission on Yang Weimin, Jia Dongming rode his bicycle to the Dongcheng Branch Bureau again.

Arriving at Li Xidong's office, Jia Dongming saw him on the phone. He gently knocked on the door and greeted him, "Good morning, Director Li!"

After the Dongcheng Branch reported the case yesterday, the Municipal Bureau took over the case and discovered that enemy agents were not only active in the Dongcheng Branch, but also in other branches and even around the headquarters.

The phone call Li Xidong received was a notification from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television regarding this situation.

Upon hearing the knock, Li Xidong looked up and saw Jia Dongming. He gestured for Jia to sit down opposite him and said into the microphone, "Captain Gu, we have already sent people to closely monitor that tailor shop."

Please share any new discoveries you make promptly.

After hanging up the phone, Li Xidong thanked Jia Dongming: "Section Chief Jia, I am very grateful for the clues you provided."

Following the leads, the headquarters discovered that enemy surveillance points were located in each branch office and near the headquarters.

Jia Dongming did not show any surprise at this.

He possessed far more intelligence than the public security authorities, but he was unable to explain its source; otherwise, he would have revealed everything long ago.

Seeing his calm reaction, Li Xidong couldn't help but ask curiously, "Section Chief Jia, you seem completely unsurprised to hear about this?"

Jia Dongming smiled calmly: "Director Li, since enemy agents have already been monitoring the Dongcheng Branch, they will naturally cover other branches as well."

Therefore, I wasn't surprised at all.

Li Xidong suddenly realized, and then asked, "Section Chief Jia came so early this morning, is there any new development?"

Jia Dongming said solemnly, "Director Li, Hui Zi's identity has now been confirmed."

I have made arrangements with the steel rolling mill..."

"What? Section Chief Jia! You've already verified Huizi's identity?"

Li Xidong didn't pay attention at first, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he was shocked and confirmed it.

Jia Dongming had anticipated Li Xidong's reaction.

He nodded solemnly and replied in a steady tone, "Director Li, based on our surveillance over the past few days, we have verified Shi Zi's true identity."

After hearing Jia Dongming's response, Li Xidong confirmed that the other party was not joking and immediately asked, "Section Chief Jia! Just who is this Huizi?"

Seeing Li Xidong's anxious expression, Jia Dongming solemnly replied, "Director Li, Huizi uses the alias Zhang Huizi and works as the deputy head of the logistics department at the People's Hospital."

In addition, she has another identity—the wife of Director Yang of our steel rolling mill.

Upon learning Hui Zi's true background, Li Xidong abruptly stood up from his chair, incredulously asking again, "Section Chief Jia, is this true? Hui Zi really is Factory Director Yang Weimin's wife?"

Jia Dongming had anticipated Li Xidong's reaction and nodded affirmatively: "Director Li, this matter is indeed true."

However, it is unclear whether Yang Weimin himself is involved in the case. We have currently assigned personnel to monitor him around the clock.

Yang Weimin, as the director of the steel rolling mill, held a high-ranking position.

If his wife is indeed an enemy agent, this matter will be extremely serious.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Li Xidong immediately shook the phone and said after connecting, "This is the Dongcheng branch. Please transfer me to Deputy Director Ma at headquarters."

Soon, a steady male voice came from the other end of the phone: "This is Ma Weidong. Who is this?"

Li Xidong respectfully reported: "Old leader, I am Li Xidong."

We have made significant progress regarding the case of enemy agents.

Ma Weidong heard "important"

His tone immediately turned serious: "Comrade Xidong, what exactly is the situation?"

Li Xidong glanced at Jia Dongming and continued his report: "Old leader, Comrade Jia Dongming of the steel rolling mill's security department discovered during his investigation that the factory director, Yang Weimin, may have connections with enemy agents."

"What?"

Ma Weidong's voice tightened, "This matter is of utmost importance, Li Xidong, you must ensure the information is accurate."

Li Xidong was prepared and solemnly replied, "Old leader, Comrade Jia Dongming has verified that the enemy agent leader Huizi, using the alias Zhang Huizi, is indeed Yang Weimin's wife."

Previously, the deputy director and security officers of the steel rolling mill had been investigated for alleged involvement with the enemy. If Yang Weimin is also implicated, the consequences will be extremely serious.

Ma Weidong asked in a deep voice, "How did Comrade Jia Dongming ascertain Huizi's identity and confirm her relationship with Yang Weimin?"

Li Xidong replied, "Old leader, the intelligence on the enemy's 'Operation Cherry Blossom' and the deployment of spies around our branch was all obtained by Comrade Jia Dongming."

He's in my office right now. Could he explain things to you directly?

After obtaining Ma Weidong's consent, Li Xidong handed the phone to Jia Dongming: "Section Chief Jia, Deputy Director Ma of the General Administration wants to speak with you."

Jia Dongming took the microphone: "Hello, Vice President Ma, this is Jia Dongming."

Regarding Keiko's identity, I learned it through…

After listening carefully to Jia Dongming's account, Ma Weidong had no doubts about the investigation results.

Considering Yang Weimin's special status, Ma Weidong frowned and solemnly instructed: "Comrade Jia Dongming, your consideration is very thorough."

Given Yang Weimin's special circumstances, it would be most prudent for your steel rolling mill's security department to be responsible for the investigation.

If you require police cooperation, please contact Comrade Li Xidong at any time.

Jia Dongming agreed, then reminded him, "Vice President Ma, we discovered while monitoring Zhang Huizi that she is extremely vigilant and ruthless."

In addition, enemy agents spent a year digging tunnels in order to destroy the special workshop.

"Then, is it possible that they might dig tunnels from the surveillance points to various branch offices and even headquarters, so that they could carry out 'Operation Cherry Blossom'?"

Upon hearing this speculation on the other end of the phone, Ma Weidong felt a cold sweat break out on his back as he considered the potential danger.

If Jia Dongming's judgment comes true, the consequences will indeed be unimaginable.

He solemnly expressed his gratitude to Jia Dongming: "Comrade Jia Dongming, thank you for your timely reminder!"

Indeed, if these hostile elements were able to attempt to sabotage the steel rolling mill's special workshops by digging tunnels, they could very well employ similar methods to operate underground within our Public Security Bureau.

My deduction is that those responsible for surveillance were not simply observing our movements, but rather setting up sentry posts to prevent our operation from being exposed.
