The color drained from Liu Zihang's face instantly!
Now, the situation has shifted from Liu Zihang making things difficult for Shang Yechu to Zheng Bohan questioning Liu Zihang!
Zheng Bohan and Liu Zihang were only casual acquaintances, so naturally he wouldn't take the blame for him. His intention to sever ties was practically written all over his face.
Zheng Bohan alone is one thing; but Liu Zihang is the executive producer of "Tianban", yet he only has a vague understanding of the ending of the real-life protagonist of "Tianban". What's more, he said something like he committed suicide on the spot!
To put it mildly, he's stupid; to put it more bluntly...
Liu Zihang looked in Shang Yechu's direction. The latter smiled humbly and looked back at him gently. Her eyes shimmered with a moist light, like a clear, still lake.
In that instant, Liu Zihang shuddered, and sweat slid down his face!
It turns out that hot sweat can actually be cool.
The face, originally the color of raw pig liver, gradually turned into the color of cooked pig liver, perhaps because the indoor temperature was too high and it was steamed.
Liu Zihang wiped his sweat and hurriedly apologized to Zheng Bohan: "Teacher Zheng, I absolutely did not mean that! Ye Chu is competing for the role of martyr Li Yiming, so of course I have to test her memory and knowledge of history..."
Liu Zihang, like a pantheist, bowed to Zheng Bohan and then to Zhang Chen: "Old Zhang, you know me, I'm a..."
Liu Zihang talked on and on, but Shang Yechu didn't interrupt. She just stood there and smiled at him.
After talking to Zheng Bohan, Zhang Chen, and the others for a good seven or eight minutes, it was already 12:15. Liu Zihang didn't mention taking the bus again, and looked at Shang Yechu, saying kindly, "Little Yechu did a great job! Your knowledge is very solid! It seems you did your homework..."
Praise poured out like it was free; if Shang Yechu were a little more thin-skinned, she would probably be blushing from Liu Zihang's compliments by now.
Shang Yechu smiled, her laughter melodious: "May I continue?"
"Of course, of course!" Liu Zihang smiled and said kindly, "You have great ideas. We old guys need to communicate more with young people like you."
Shang Yechu nodded: "Therefore, I designed a special scenario to make all of this seem reasonable."
"On the eve of his rendezvous with other members of the organization, Li Yiming's identity was exposed. But there was another undercover agent in the Ninth Bureau who had not yet been identified."
"The Kuomintang agents wanted to catch the big fish who had made contact with Li Yiming. In order to prevent other undercover agents in the bureau from finding out that Li Yiming had been exposed and then tipping off the contact, they put Li Yiming under house arrest in his office and sent guards to watch over him inside.
"After monitoring everyone in the bureau, Captain Qian will then take his trusted men to the rendezvous point to stake out and capture the big fish who is making contact with Li Yiming."
Zhang Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I understand what you mean. In this way, Li Yiming must die. Only her death can remind the other undercover agent in the bureau that something has gone wrong."
"You're right!" Zhang Chen seemed much more capable and experienced than Liu Zihang, so Shang Yechu was more confident in winning him over.
Zhang Chen then asked, "Is 'Qian Zhao' the same as Captain Qian?"
"Yes."
Zhang Chen frowned and thought about it carefully, then suddenly stared in astonishment: "'Qian Zhao' isn't actually another undercover agent at all, is he?"
Xu Hanwen was slightly startled and finally looked at Shang Yechu directly.
Zheng Bohan's face was somber, revealing no emotional fluctuation.
Having been tricked by Shang Yechu, Liu Zihang was already much more obedient. Hearing this, he looked at Zhang Chen in surprise: "Huh? Old Zhang, what does this mean?"
"Explain this to Director Liu," Zhang Chen said excitedly. "Brilliant!"
Shang Yechu touched her arm and smiled shyly, "Under these circumstances, Li Yiming's phone calls must have been tapped."
Liu Zihang racked his brains and remembered. In Shang Yechu's performance, Li Yiming had just dialed the phone when there was a knock on her office door a moment later—that scene was played by Shang Yechu alone, and it looked somewhat ridiculous, leaving a deep impression on Liu Zihang.
The moment Li Yiming dialed the phone, the secret agents arrived, which was enough to prove that her phone had been tapped—Ye Chu had even thought of this during her performance!
Wait, wait, then in this case—
Liu Zihang's mouth dropped open, his jaw almost falling to the ground!
Under Liu Zihang's shocked gaze, Shang Yechu said unhurriedly, "Of course Li Yiming knew that the call had been tapped. That sentence, 'Tell Qian Zhao,' was deliberately said for the people monitoring him to hear."
"Chaos breeds trouble." In such a tense situation, this one sentence was enough to make Qian Zhao a suspect. Then, Li Yiming committed suicide by shooting himself, turning the matter into a complete unsolved mystery.
"In any case, Qian Zhao has become the last suspect. And now, he is leading a group of people to lie in ambush at the place where Li Yiming is meeting with someone."
Shang Yechu smiled slightly.
What followed was self-explanatory to everyone without Shang Yechu needing to explain further.
As long as Li Yiming's superior, Lu Huaizhang, was of sound mind, he had to immediately send someone to arrest Qian Zhao. This had nothing to do with whether he trusted Qian Zhao or not, but was simply a matter of the Kuomintang's bureaucratic style—
Better to arrest a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free. If Qian Zhao is truly innocent, he can be released quietly later; but if he is innocent, and Qian Zhao and his contact escape, should Lu Huaizhang bear the responsibility?
