Chapter 78 Beaten
After Lin Ruotang informed her, Zhou Qin had been guessing Zheng Manqiao's intentions and learned that Ma Yunhao was a member of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.
She didn't care about being shocked, she had to keep her position.
When they arrived at the Secret Service Bureau, everyone started working. Zhou Qin went to the interrogation room and saw Lin Ruotang there. She made eye contact with her and then her gaze shifted from Ma Yunhao to Zheng Manqiao.
Lin Ruotang was called by Zheng Manqiao. It was normal for her to work overtime in the middle of the night. She came to the Secret Service Bureau neatly. When she arrived, Ma Yunhao had been tortured beyond recognition.
At this time, Zheng Manqiao turned her head with a confident smile on her face.
"Director Zhou, you're afraid or you don't know. This guy is a member of the Central Bureau of Investigation lurking around you. I went to test him today, and he called right after I left!"
She held up a bug, and Ma Yunhao's expression changed and his face turned gloomy. It seemed that this person had installed a bug in the office when he was not paying attention.
Zhou Qin didn't say anything, just stared at her. The two of them were silent, confronting each other. This was a struggle for power, and also a struggle for life and death.
Zhou Qin knew that she must not lose because too many people wanted her dead.
If she loses the power struggle, she's done.
Lin Ruotang's eyes wandered between the two of them. She felt the terrifying atmosphere and silently moved back.
"Snapped!"
Zhou Qin stepped forward and slapped Zheng Manqiao in the face.
Lin Ruotang's pupils shrank slightly, and she looked shocked. She was even more afraid that innocent people would be implicated, so she pressed herself against the wall.
Zheng Manqiao tilted her face slightly to the side, her short hair hiding her expression, making it impossible to tell what she was looking at.
Zhou Qin is worthy of being the director, he is very good at turning the tables.
"Chief Zheng, you've ruined my plan!"
Hearing this, Zheng Manqiao was also stunned. She seemed to be smiling, but her eyes seemed to be filled with poisonous stings.
"Oh? I wonder how I ruined Director Zhou's plan?"
Zhou Qin was calm and composed, without a trace of panic.
"Do you think I don't know this person's identity?"
Lin Ruotang was stunned. What was going on?
Zhou Qin walked up to Ma Yunhao and poked her finger directly into his cracked wound.
"what!"
Ma Yunhao couldn't help but shout out and looked at Zhou Qin with a painful face.
Zhou Qin didn't look back, her eyes were cold. She pulled out her fingers and turned her palm upwards.
In the past, Lin Ruotang would have taken out a handkerchief and handed it to Zhou Qin, but she glanced at Zheng Manqiao, who had a dagger in her eyes.
Facing Zheng Manqiao's stabbing look, he handed over the handkerchief with a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Zhou Qin wiped her hands and said to Zheng Manqiao:
"I already knew this person's identity!"
She turned to look at Zheng Manqiao and said angrily:
"You totally ruined my plan!"
Zhou Qin pointed at Ma Yunhao and looked at him.
Ma Yunhao smiled bitterly. He knew Zhou Qin very well and was afraid that he would not survive tomorrow.
Zhou Qin's heart trembled, her face stiffened for a moment, and she said to Zheng Manqiao:
"This person is of no value now. I kept him to not only persuade him to defect, but also to persuade a group of Central Bureau members to defect. Now you've completely ruined this plan. There's no point in keeping him now!"
Lin Ruotang's eyes widened. She guessed what Zhou Qin was going to do.
Zhou Qin pulled out a pistol from behind her back and pointed it at Ma Yunhao with a deep look in her eyes without a trace of affection.
Zheng Manqiao also understood that this meant she would die without any evidence and she might even suffer a loss. She stretched out her hand and shouted,
"No!"
"boom!"
With a gunshot, Ma Yunhao was shot in the chest, his head dropped, and he was completely dead.
Zheng Manqiao grabbed the pistol and stared at Zhou Qin fiercely.
"you…"
Zhou Qin raised her eyebrows and said to Zheng Manqiao:
"What's wrong with me?"
Hearing the gunshots, everyone rushed over.
"what happened?"
When everyone came in, they saw Zheng Manqiao holding a gun in her hand. They also saw that the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics personnel captured yesterday were dead, and looked at Zheng Manqiao in surprise.
Zheng Manqiao looked gloomy. She felt Ma Yunhao's breath and glared at Zhou Qin.
"Now that he's dead, you should be satisfied!"
Zhou Qin's attitude changed, and she said in a gentle tone:
"Section Chief Zheng, you're too eager for quick success. Although you ruined my plan, this person is really useless. I just got rid of him."
When the people who came saw that it was the two women fighting, they didn't dare to say anything, for fear of being implicated.
Seeing that the matter was resolved perfectly, Zhou Qin changed her fierce look and said with the look of someone coming over:
"I know Chief Zheng wants to make a name for himself. You're young and energetic, but you also need to prioritize. The most important thing right now isn't to keep an eye on me, but the explosion at the Japanese warehouse."
Hearing this, Zheng Manqiao gritted her teeth, her voice almost coming out of her throat.
"Thank you Director Zhou for your guidance. I will investigate thoroughly!"
Zhou Qin turned and left, and the others left one after another. This time, they lost more than they gained.
Whether Zhou Qin knew Ma Yunhao's identity in advance or not, only Zhou Qin herself knew about this matter. Now she said that she had other plans for Ma Yunhao, but who can tell for sure?
Seeing that everyone had left, Zheng Manqiao was still standing in the interrogation room. Lin Ruotang did not dare to leave, but stood silently behind her.
It took Zheng Manqiao more than ten minutes to process that her plan to bring down Zhou Qin had failed.
"Secretary Lin!"
Lin Ruotang was picking at his nails with his head down. Upon hearing this, he immediately stepped forward and said:
"exist!"
Zheng Manqiao slowly turned around and slapped him in the face.
"Snapped!"
Lin Ruotang wanted to block with his hands, but then he thought that this was his boss. If he blocked him now, he might get beaten even more in the future.
His face was burning with pain, but Lin Ruotang didn't dare to fight back and could only lower his head.
Zheng Manqiao said slowly:
"Have you got a handkerchief?"
Lin Ruotang was silent. She had no handkerchief left.
"Secretary Lin, you need to recognize your own identity!"
After Zheng Manqiao finished speaking and walked out of the interrogation room, Lin Ruotang took a deep breath. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes and she kept trying to calm herself down.
No one has ever slapped her. In this life and the previous one, she was raised with the love and care of her family. Now she was slapped by a traitor. She must be feeling very upset.
She walked out of the interrogation room and saw Xie Wuwei leaning against the door frame, holding a cigarette in one hand. She felt uncomfortable.
"Thank you, Wuwei!"
Xie Wuwei turned around and saw the slap mark on Lin Ruotang's face. The red slap mark on her fair little face was extremely annoying. His expression suddenly became gloomy.
"Zheng Manqiao hit him?"
Lin Ruotang didn't say anything, she pursed her lips in frustration.
Xie Wuwei took out a handkerchief from the bathroom, wet it with water, and pressed it on Lin Ruotang's face.
"Don't worry, you won't suffer this loss in vain. You still have me and your uncle."
Zheng Manqiao stood upstairs and shouted condescendingly:
"Secretary Lin, do you still need me to pay you for your work?"
Lin Ruotang took the handkerchief given by Xie Wuwei and ran to the third floor.
Looking at her face in the mirror, Lin Ruotang bared her teeth, wishing she could bite Zheng Manqiao. She had a fine tradition passed down for thousands of years, which was to hold grudges.
Lin Ruotang walked around with a red and swollen face, and everyone was surprised, but they all guessed that it was Zheng Manqiao who beat her, after all, Zhou Qin had never beaten Lin Ruotang before.
Zhou Qin also knew about this in the office. She took out a watch from the drawer and handed it to Sun Lan.
"Send it to Secretary Lin. Thank you for your hard work during this period!"
Sun Lan glanced at her watch, which was quite valuable. She was glad that she didn't follow Section Chief Zheng, otherwise she would have been the one to get beaten.
Lin Ruotang, who had no background, was beaten up, so someone like him who had no background would probably be beaten to death.
She trembled, and immediately took the watch and gave it to Lin Ruotang. Lin Ruotang received the watch and sighed.
"You're lucky now. If you follow Director Zhou, I'll be unlucky."
Seeing Sun Lan's nervous expression, she said:
"Don't worry, I won't come back to compete with you for your position. Have you forgotten why I am with Section Chief Zheng?"
Hearing this, Sun Lan felt relieved.
After get off work, Lin Ruotang couldn't suppress this anger.
Zhou Qin asked Sun Lan to send the watch, the first reason was to comfort herself, and the second reason was simply to support herself and Zheng Manqiao in competing with each other.
She brought Xie Wuwei to the Jin family and started crying as soon as she entered the door.
