Chapter 314

He Yong wondered whether Lu Heng might associate him with Song Hongri. However, he quickly calmed himself. It was impossible. He and Song Hongri had no significant interactions in public, only the standard, professional exchanges typical of anyone else at the Public Security Bureau. Still, He Yong carefully reviewed his past actions to see if he had left any loose ends. After confirming that there were no vulnerabilities or evidence to be found, he sat down to write his self-criticism. Regarding this recent accident, he had to offer a sincere and thorough admission of fault, even going so far as to offer his resignation in the report. Of course, he had no intention of actually relinquishing his power. It was merely a strategy of feigning retreat to advance. He was confident that his superiors had no reason to dismiss him over this; after all, it was common for intelligence agencies to have spies infiltrate their ranks. Furthermore, Song Hongri had not been at the bureau long and had not leaked any critical information that caused substantial damage. On the contrary, exposing the man during this operation could be seen as eliminating a hidden danger early. All in all, while the Song Hongri affair would bring He Yong some trouble, it was manageable.
