Chapter 426 Someone from the Liaison Office Arrives
Lin Siqiao had been in the country for so long, but this was the first time she saw Lu Jianchuan draw his gun, and when the people in the room saw this scene, they immediately stopped talking.
"Someone is coming over. Judging from the sound, there should be five or six of them." Lu Jianchuan added, "They are all men."
Soldiers undergo years of training, and their hearing and sensitivity far exceed those of ordinary people. Lin Siqiao has no doubt about this.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Lu Jianchuan signaled to Lin Siqiao with his eyes.
Let her, Uncle Qiu and Aunt Qiu take the children back to the bedroom first, and it would be better if the two comrades from the liaison office also go in together.
If it was just a suspicion just now, then at this moment Lu Jianchuan was very sure that the other party was coming for his wife.
Lin Siqiao nodded, and his brain started working rapidly at this moment.
This period of time has been very peaceful, so peaceful that she searched her mind for a long time but could not find a suspect.
Lin Siqiao was not sure whether they were friends or enemies, but seeing so many people coming so late at night, Lin Siqiao had a feeling that it was not a good thing.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
“Boom boom, boom boom!”
The voice was urgent and rapid, and from the force one could tell that the other party was up to no good.
Without waiting for Lu Jianchuan to signal with his eyes, several people in the living room had quickly loaded their guns.
The man knocked on the door several times, and when no one came to open the door for him, he started shouting at the top of his voice.
"Comrade Lin, please open the door. I am a staff member of the Liaison Office in China. Comrade Lin————"
Hearing the familiar Chinese dialect, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
However, out of professional vigilance, Lu Jianchuan did not open the door immediately, but went to the inner room to ask Jiang Tao and the others.
Jiang and Tao looked at each other and frowned.
"This person is indeed from our liaison office. He is the secretary of Deputy Director Zhang."
Lin Siqiao didn't know any Deputy Director Zhang, but he thought that he was from the Liaison Office and had come all the way here, so maybe Director Chen had something urgent to ask him to convey.
Unexpectedly, Jiang and Tao denied Lin Siqiao's guess after hearing it.
"Comrade Lin, Deputy Director Zhang and Director Chen have always had a bad relationship. No matter who Director Chen sends, it is impossible for him to send his secretary to pass on the message."
At this point, Comrade Jiang recalled an incident. "Some time ago, when I called Director Chen to report on my work, Deputy Director Zhang came over and had a big argument with him."
"Had a big fight?" Lin Siqiao had a question mark on his face.
How dare a deputy director openly challenge his immediate superior?
"Do you know what they were fighting about?"
"It seems to be because of the stock issue. Deputy Director Zhang does not agree with Director Chen using the money to speculate in stocks."
But the phone bill was very expensive, so he hung up after listening for two or three minutes.
After thinking for a while, Lin Siqiao asked again, "Does this Deputy Director Zhang have a deep background?"
"Yes!" Jiang Tao and the others nodded, their expressions showing helplessness.
This Deputy Director Zhang was parachuted in last year. It is said that a new official will start with three things. However, after taking office, this Deputy Director Zhang was not in a hurry to establish his authority, but was frantically seeking benefits for himself.
"Comrade Lin, do you know that Deputy Director Zhang has spent nearly $300,000 in less than a year and a half since taking office?"
"so much?"
Lin Siqiao thought of himself as someone who could spend a lot of money, but he was still shocked when he heard this number.
In this era, 300,000 US dollars still has strong purchasing power. If it is not used to buy real estate or luxury goods, Lin Siqiao is really curious about how the other party spends the money.
Before opening the door, Lin Siqiao asked the two of them one last question.
"He spends money so lavishly, do the higher-ups know about it?"
Jiang Tao and the others nodded and also gave Lin Siqiao some advice.
"Comrade Lin, Deputy Director Zhang is the nephew of that person. Even Minister Wu can't do anything to him."
"If he says something unpleasant later, don't take it personally and don't confront him head-on."
Hearing this, Lin Siqiao immediately understood.
She originally thought that the other party was just an ordinary second-generation official, but she didn't expect that this person was backed by those people.
No wonder a small deputy director can be so unscrupulous in his conduct.
Lin Siqiao felt physically uncomfortable when he thought that the money he had worked so hard to earn would eventually be squandered by such people.
For some reason, Lin Siqiao suddenly thought of something that happened a long time ago.
In November last year, the Liaison Office in the United States suddenly sent a report saying that it wanted to transfer several senior translators from China.
If it weren't for the arrangements made in advance by the senior brother, Lin Siqiao would have been transferred to the country with an official letter in a short time.
What she wants to know now is who wrote this report?
After getting the exact answer, Lin Siqiao had an expression that said "as expected".
At this time, the knocking on the door continued.
Lin Siqiao asked them to stay in the bedroom while he went to open the door.
Compared to just now, Lin Siqiao's expression was not very good at this moment.
The other party knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to open the door, and he was already very angry.
Seeing that Lin Siqiao didn't even say a word, but instead looked them up and down with a cold face, the fire in their hearts burned even more fiercely.
As the soldiers in the room all had stern faces, the secretary who knocked on the door did not dare to say anything too harsh. She just asked her a question with dissatisfaction.
"Comrade Lin, I've been knocking on the door for quite some time. Why did you just come and open the door now?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Siqiao's reaction was even greater than his. "Comrade, could you please check what time it is and where this place is?"
"The country's public security is so bad, and I don't know you. You're a grown man and you come knocking on my door at night. Who knows if what you said is true or not? Shouldn't I think about it for a while?"
As he said this, he slammed the gun in his hand onto the table.
"You should be thankful that I was only hesitant and not impulsive, otherwise you wouldn't even have the chance to speak now."
The secretary was ready to retort, but when Lin Siqiao slapped him, his neck shrank and he dared not say a word.
However, Deputy Director Zhang gave her a look with a forced smile.
"I'm sorry, we didn't think it through. Let me introduce myself. I'm Zhang Dong, deputy director of the liaison office."
Lin Siqiao nodded with a calm expression.
It was already late, and she really didn't want to waste her time on this kind of person, so she got straight to the point.
"Deputy Director Zhang, what's the matter with you guys coming here so late?"
Deputy Director Zhang was very direct and explained his purpose in a few words.
"Comrade Lin, we came here today mainly to ask you a few questions. Don't be nervous, just answer me truthfully."
"Okay, you go ahead." Lin Siqiao responded quickly, but how she answered depended on her mood.
At this time, Deputy Director Zhang said, "Comrade Lin, at the beginning of this month, did Director Chen give you a check for $500,000 and ask you to use it to invest in stocks?"
