XXXII. Fleeing overnight
The head of the secret service of the Military Intelligence Bureau seemed to see through Chen Xu's thoughts, and personally escorted him all the way from the airport to the guest house, and after sending him to the room, he did not forget to arrange a guard on duty outside the corridor, so that he left with peace of mind.
Although the spy leader took care of himself so actively, Chen Xu could understand his thinking very well, and the list of Soviet intelligence networks in China obtained a few months ago could not satisfy the appetite of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and now he definitely wants to dig more from Chen Xu to see if he can get more things.
Compared with the careful thinking of the spy leader, Chen Xu is most worried about the meeting with Mr. Deng tomorrow. He has made great contributions to the country, and the boss must want to treat him well, and by the way, he will reward a big official to comfort him.
After eating, Mr. Deng will definitely ask Chen Xu to talk about some issues in detail, and the commander of a country will invite you to eat and chat, of course, it is impossible to just gossip after tea, it must be to talk about national affairs. When asked deeply, Mr. Deng inevitably asked Chen Xu the question of having so many high-tech products
It's really hard to explain......
If the shirk says that it was stolen from the Soviet Union, Mr. Deng will inevitably ask for details again and again, so what should I do? Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Chen Xu couldn't say the details, and as soon as he said it, he would reveal the bottom!
The boss is the ruler of a country, and he has 10,000 ways to find out the truth of the matter.
What's more, Chen Xu already knew that the Military Intelligence Agency had a large intelligence network in the Soviet Union, and even the Kremlin had an inside line. When the time came, Mr. Deng sent someone to the Soviet Union to investigate, and found that there was no such thing and there was no such person, and Chen Xu was about to be "hehe" by Mr. Deng.
Want to keep it secret in front of Mr. Deng? The old man is a collection of secrets, what is there in the world that he can't know? If you don't talk about it, there will be even more ghosts!
In short, no matter whether you say it or not, you can't get past this hurdle.
Instead of being so entangled, it's better to run away. Although it will sweep the face of the boss, as long as he gets a few big factories for the boss after a while, he must be able to support the boat in the stomach of the old prime minister and will forgive himself.
"Besides, the boss robbed me of the big project I worked so hard to talk about, and I pretended to lose my temper and didn't meet, which should be a reason to fool the past." After Chen Xu figured it out, he didn't worry about this problem. I opened the curtains and squinted to see a faint figure shaking on the roof of the building opposite: "The guards are really tight, and it really takes a lot of effort to leave." ”
These people are not necessarily here to spy on Chen Xu, and they also have the intention of protecting him. After all, the power of the Soviets has penetrated so deeply in the country, no one knows if there are any hidden spies, in case the KGB is determined to kill Chen Xu, send someone to come over and give a medicine to the meal, and suddenly rush out to give a shot, stab or something, and the assassination can be successful.
It's not good to go out and run blindly, Beijing in this era has not been demolished and rebuilt, Chen Xu is really unfamiliar with it, and it is easy to get lost in the alley when you go out.
Chen Xu looked at the wall clock on the wall, there were only four hours left until seven o'clock in the afternoon, and before he left the airport, he saw that the last plane back to Xiangping on the notice board was at seven o'clock tonight.
This is already the fastest way to return to Xiangping, if he can't catch up, he can only take a random flight and leave Beijing first.
"It's a pity that the souvenirs I brought back from Tokyo had to be thrown away." Chen Xu decided to pretend to go out to visit Beijing, and then find an opportunity to throw off his tail and go to the airport, but in this case, he couldn't take his luggage out of the door, otherwise it would arouse suspicion.
Sure enough, as soon as he walked out of the guest house, three guards wearing military uniforms walked up, and the platoon commander at the front saluted and said expressionlessly: "Comrade Chen Xu, the chief arranged for me to be responsible for your safety, do you want to go for something?" If you're going far away, I can send you there. ”
"Ah...... It's nothing, it's my first time in Beijing, and I want to go to those places of interest to walk around and taste the food and snacks of our capital. Chen Xu touched the back of his head and said with a haha.
"Then you wait here, I'll drive over." The platoon commander walked away quickly, while the other two guards stood sideways, one on the left and one on the right, vigilantly watching their surroundings.
It was not a car that drove over, but three sidecar motorcycles, and there were three guards sitting on each motorcycle in the back, including the platoon commander who was the rider, so that there were seven guards, and it should be no problem to protect Chen Xu's safety in the capital.
Chen Xu sat in the sidecar, and the platoon commander twisted the accelerator and the sidecar motorcycle rushed out with a "boom".
"Comrade, where are you going?" The platoon commander asked, hunched over his back and driving the motorcycle.
"When I go to Gulou Street, I want to eat a bowl of fried liver to pad my stomach first, and then go to Houhai to see the lake after eating." Chen Xu patted the shoulder bucket and said loudly.
"Okay! It's close! It's there in ten minutes. ”
……
"Whoop! It's so delicious...... This is the real old Beijing snack! When I arrived at the store, I sat down and ordered fried liver, steamed buns and stewed liver, the first spoonful of fried liver was in my mouth, and the umami was really delicious, Chen Xu couldn't help shouting.
Chen Xu admired the snacks of this shop thirty years later, not to mention how unpalatable it was at that time, and now it is completely different from now.
"Boss, get a snack for every snack." Chen Xu originally wanted to come over casually and sit down and borrow urine to escape people, but since it tastes so good, let's eat more! I haven't eaten well in the hospital for a while, and I just need to eat more to warm my stomach this winter.
After eating and drinking, Chen Xu walked to the Houhai next to him surrounded by seven guards, and entered the tobacco bag oblique alley, Chen Xu suddenly frowned and said: "I'm sorry, I drank too much mung bean juice just now and was a little urgent, I'll go to the dark place on the side to solve it." ”
Everyone is a man, so naturally they don't care about this kind of trivial matter, everyone watched Chen Xu walk into the shadows of the alley, and then Chen Xu's shout came: "Everyone wait a little longer, I'm afraid this urine is a bit much, hahaha." ”
Several guards looked at each other and smiled, not paying attention.
"Why hasn't it come out yet?" After a few minutes, the platoon commander glanced at his watch by the street lamp, and walked to the foot of the wall in the shadows, but there was no one and no urine traces.
The platoon commander never felt that the chill of early spring was so biting, how could he afford to lose the responsibility of losing people, he was so frightened that he trembled, and the cold sweat was flowing down, and he hurriedly called several other guards over and went into the alley separately to look for it.
The hutongs of old Beijing are layered and full of forks in the road, and it is easy to get lost if you get in, and it is also easier to get rid of the pursuing enemy.
Although Chen Xu is not very familiar with this piece of hutong, as long as he is in one direction, there is no problem when he walks to the street. He walked through a few alleys, and at the mouth of one of the alleys, he saw a shop selling high, and the smell of butter came to his nose, wafting out of half of the alley.
"I'll just run away, these guards may be worried that they will be kidnapped, and they will find people to search and seal off the place, and if they make a big fuss, it will cause a lot of trouble to the surrounding residents, so it is better to leave them some clues!" Chen Xu's nose twitched, and the gluttonous worms in his stomach kept making noise, so he hurriedly ran into the dim sum shop.
As soon as he entered the house, he shouted loudly for the boss to weigh twenty catties of dim sum, and gave a little of each flavor of dim sum on the stall, during which he kept urging the boss to pack it quickly, so as to deepen the boss's impression of himself.
Walking out on the main road, there are a lot of bicycles passing by, and there is not a single car that can be seen, and occasionally passing by a car with a license plate number is a roaring car, which is the car of the leader of a certain ministerial-level unit.
Chen Xu walked to a light green three-wheeled motorcycle and asked the old driver who was napping in the car, "Uncle, are you going to the airport?" ”
"Too far away, not going!"
"I'm in a hurry to catch the plane, if I can get there within half an hour, I'll give you five yuan!"
"Get in the car, I'll be there in twenty minutes!" The old driver's eyes lit up suddenly, and he instantly came to his senses, and he had already lit his three jumps while speaking.
The driver is right, the streets of Beijing in this era are not only spacious, but also few cars, there are few street lights, when the F1 track is no problem, all the way to drag racing without stopping, you can indeed get to the airport within 20 minutes.
Chen Xu sat in a three-wheeled motorcycle with wind leaking on all sides, the cold wind hung on his face like a knife, looking at the rapidly retreating scenery on both sides, and he grabbed the handrail hard and couldn't make a sound.
"The car god! For your spirit of not being afraid of death, I'll add an extra dollar. Dare to ask the surname Gao? Chen Xu held on to the back compartment of the tricycle, bent over and vomited, and what he had eaten just now was all in vain.
"There is no big name, I just drive three jumps, and it usually takes me ten minutes to run a lap of the second ring road." The old driver had a scruffy beard and a cigarette in his mouth, stood behind to help Chen Xu rub his back, and said indifferently.
"You cow!" Chen Xu wiped his mouth with his sleeve, took out the six yuan left over from his trouser pocket to buy pastries and stuffed them into the old driver's hand.
"It's really a master in the people......" Watching the tricycle swaying away, Chen Xu sighed, and then turned around and entered the airport.
At this time, there was no terminal at Beijing Airport, so after buying a ticket, you had to take a shuttle bus to the vicinity of the plane and then get on the plane. The security check before boarding the plane was not strict, and Chen Xu carried two packs of pastries on the plane and no one checked them.
It's winter, and it's cold in the cabin, and the temperature in the cabin slowly rises after the plane takes off.
Because of the rapid progress of the old driver, Chen Xu got on the plane home in time. At first, he thought that Chen Xu had been kidnapped by accident, so he hurriedly called dozens of guards to help find him.
It was also thanks to Chen Xu that he kept an eye on it, and these guards checked people from house to house, and soon found the dim sum shop. The boss still remembers Chen Xu vividly, and soon everyone figured out that the goods were not kidnapped, but ran away.
At this time, the old driver had already come back with his three jumps, and everyone learned from him that Chen Xu had gone to the airport, and this time everyone could guess that this person had run away even if they were stupid......
