Chapter 356
At this point, Li Xianming's eyes revealed a look of reminiscence, and he continued:
"After that, there were several missions, and Qiu Kaishan's performance made me feel that something was wrong. Once, when we were dealing with an emergency involving national security, his decision was obviously biased towards a risky plan. Although this plan might achieve some results in the short term, it would bring us great risks. I tried to express different opinions, but he insisted on his own opinion, which eventually led to some unnecessary troubles in the mission. This incident made me more suspicious of him."
"Another time, when we were making internal personnel adjustments, Qiu Kaishan's personnel arrangements for some key positions were puzzling. He arranged some people with inexperience and incompetence to important positions, while some capable and experienced people were assigned to important positions. Some people who were originally excellent were transferred to some marginal positions. This unreasonable personnel adjustment made me begin to doubt whether he had other purposes. Moreover, in the process of personnel adjustment, I also found some strange phenomena. Some people who originally performed well were suddenly marginalized, while some people who usually performed averagely were reused. This made me think that there must be something wrong. "
"An incident that happened in the past two days has completely established my suspicion of Qiu Kaishan. The branch received a piece of information about the suspected appearance of Jiang Yu, and Qiu Kaishan immediately asked us to dispatch personnel to round up. However, during the operation, I found that there were many doubts about this information. First of all, the source of this information is very suspicious and has not been fully verified. This information was provided by an anonymous informant, and we cannot confirm the identity of this informant and motive. "
"Moreover, the intelligence provided by this informant is very vague, without specific location and time information, only saying that Jiang Yu is suspected to appear in a certain area. This vague intelligence makes me feel very abnormal, because in previous operations, the intelligence we received was strictly verified and screened, and there would be no such vague situation. "
"Secondly, Qiu Kaishan's performance in the operation was also very abnormal. He seemed too anxious and nervous, which was completely unlike his usual self. After receiving the intelligence, he immediately asked us to dispatch personnel to round up without sufficient analysis and evaluation. Moreover, his command in the operation also seemed very chaotic, without clear goals and strategies. This made me feel that his behavior was very suspicious, as if he was deliberately creating chaos. "
"Also, his arrangement of the operation was very There are many loopholes, such as not fully considering possible unexpected situations, and not formulating corresponding emergency plans. During the operation, we encountered some emergencies, but Qiu Kaishan did not respond in time, which led to us falling into a passive situation. All these made me think that this operation might be a trap. "
"During the operation, I deliberately slowed down the speed of dispatching personnel, and secretly observed Qiu Kaishan's reaction. I found that he was very dissatisfied with my delay and kept urging me to speed up. This made me more certain of his suspiciousness. Later, after further investigation and analysis, I found that the so-called suspected Jiang Yu's intelligence was probably false, and it was a bait deliberately released by someone, the purpose of which was to transfer most of the action forces of our branch and create opportunities for their other conspiracies. Qiu Kaishan's performance in this process made me have to infer that he had a high probability of betrayal. "
After listening to Li Xianming's explanation, the eldest cousin wondered and asked: "Since you knew that Qiu Kaishan had betrayed you a long time ago, why didn't you report it to your superiors earlier?"
Li Xianming sighed slightly and explained: "I also wanted to report it to my superiors earlier, but I didn't have conclusive evidence. If I report to my superiors based on my suspicion alone, it may cause unnecessary trouble and even alarm the enemy. So I have been waiting for the opportunity and collecting evidence, hoping to find enough evidence to expose Qiu Kaishan's conspiracy. Moreover, I am also worried that if I take action too early, Qiu Kaishan will be alerted and his conspiracy will be implemented faster. So I can only observe secretly and wait for the right time. "
The eldest cousin frowned, stared at Li Xianming closely, and asked:
"Since you have long seen through Qiu Kaishan's conspiracy to send people to round up the fake Jiang Yu, why do you still do what he said? You know, in this way, our Southwest Branch will not have much manpower to guard. If there is any emergency at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable! "
When Li Xianming heard this, there was no tension on his face. Instead, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, forming a mysterious smile. He slowly spit out four words from his mouth: "I am inviting you into the trap. "The cousin was stunned at first, and then looked at Zhang Xing beside him. Both of them showed deep doubts in their eyes, and seemed to be completely unable to understand the hidden meaning behind Li Xianming's words.
Li Xianming laughed and explained lightly: "I know Qiu Kaishan's goal is to transfer most of our branch's operational forces to create opportunities for Jiang Yu and Xu Zongshen to enter the General Administration. However, if I don't dispatch people according to his request, he may take other more radical measures. So, I decided to go with the flow and assign some people to him, so that he would think his plan succeeded."
"In fact, I made some arrangements in secret to keep our people alert outside and be ready to deal with possible situations at any time. At the same time, I also strengthened the defense inside the branch and prepared to deal with enemy invasion."
Li Xianming spoke eloquently, and every sentence was clear and logical, which made it difficult to refute. From his firm eyes and calm demeanor, it can be clearly felt that he has great confidence in his carefully planned "luring the enemy into a trap" plan.
In Zhang Xing's eyes, Li Xianming did show extraordinary wisdom and strategy. However, for some reason, despite Li Xianming's outstanding performance, Zhang Xing always thought that he was a little overconfident.
The biggest reason for this is that no one can understand Jiang Yu as deeply as Zhang Xing, and no one is more familiar with the mysterious Lord Heishan than Zhang Xing.
Especially this Lord Heishan, since Zhang Xing started to fight with him, he has deeply experienced the other party's endless means and unpredictable routines. Even a slight negligence may make him fall into the trap he carefully arranged and unable to extricate himself. Moreover, Lord Heishan took the risk to sneak into the Southwest Branch alone this time, and he must have made sufficient preparations.
