Beijing, around eleven o'clock in the morning.

Xiao Hao came to the No. 4 courtyard of Sugar Gourd Lane.

The fourth courtyard is the last one on the left side of the sugar gourd lane, although it is located outside the fourth ring of the capital, but this courtyard that covers an area of more than one acre is also extraordinary, there is an old general of the republic, the old general Lei, although only after Colonel Lei is old enough, the country is more of a glorious military rank, but the relationship network of the old general who is still strong is not to be underestimated.

Not to mention anything else, at least after his granddaughter was kidnapped abroad, the old general found the Secret Bureau, he also knew the difficulties and inconveniences of the country, and at the same time knew his own weight, but he just wanted to know his granddaughter...... When will he die and whether the body will be recovered. I don't know whose relationship I trusted, the leader of the Secret Bureau agreed to the old general's conditions, so I had no choice but to come to the gate of this courtyard.

Xiao Hao's surname is Hao Mingren, a civilian employee, I don't know if it's the relationship between names, and his promotion after entering the Secret Bureau is quite smooth, because the difficult things in the bureau have been handed over to him, for example, in this matter, after the leaders held a regular meeting early in the morning, Xiao Hao soon received the task of explaining to the hostage's family, but Xiao Hao was also very embarrassed this time, because he didn't know how to explain this matter to General Lei.

Did the state do its best!? Of course, I tried my best, and the famous negotiators were all sent, but they just got off the plane and didn't even get out of the airport and returned to China, blaming the Syrian government army for being too useless, Russia, Belarus, and the colorful Russia, Iran, and even North Korea with the support of China all supported the Syrian government army, and the weapons that may have been provided have been provided, but the Syrian government army still can't do the rebels, and it can also be said that it can't do the armed forces of the Islamic State, The direct consequence is that at the time of the siege of Damascus, the state did not even have a channel to rescue the hostages, which is not that the state did not do its best, but that it was really unprepared, but can the families understand this!?

As for the fact that the Secret Service sent a secret police officer to Syria, Xiao Hao said that he didn't plan to say it, first, because although Xiao Hao didn't know the inside story, he also knew that this kind of child's play could only be the result of internal strife, and what Syria is like now doesn't need to look at intelligence, just watch the news broadcast! The second is to know that this is completely useless, and the result can be seen from the revocation of the task by the leaders, saying that this will only make the family members more embarrassed and more difficult to explain, and nothing else, it is not to say that we sent a newcomer, and then expect this newcomer to kill thousands of terrorists and rescue your granddaughter, this ...... It's really too fantastical, if you really say this, you can't get out of the courtyard door of your family's house! If you can't save it, forget it, so there is such a pastime!?

To sum up, Xiao Hao stood at the gate of the courtyard and hesitated for a long time, and finally knocked on the courtyard door of this house for the sake of having lunch, of course, he said that he would not eat lunch at this house, it was not enough to feel uncomfortable.

The one who opened the door was a very young girl, it should be a service staff, Xiao Hao directly identified himself, he was originally in charge of external work in the Secret Bureau, and he didn't know the slightly more confidential news, so there was nothing to hide, and the girl immediately asked Xiao Hao to go to the hall after knowing his identity, where four generations of the Lei family were waiting for news.

When he arrived at the three main rooms, there were four or five elderly men sitting in the main hall, and the two side rooms were full of children and women.

There was silence in the three palatial main rooms, especially after Xiao Hao came in, four of the five men sat on both sides of the hall, two on each side, and only an old man who looked like he was ten years old was sitting opposite, although Xiao Hao came for the first time, he also knew that it could only be General Lei.

After entering the hall, Xiao Hao didn't even dare to raise his head, General Lei had already retired, there may be such a room and momentum to show what Xiao Hao still understood, so he just stood in front of the hall and lowered his head and said, "I've seen General Lei." ”

"Sit."

"Thank you, General Lei, but no more."

"Looking at you like this, it doesn't seem like my granddaughter is asking you anything, but I think many people still want to be sure of something from you."

General Lei is not a veteran soldier, so he said it directly.

Since General Lei is so cheerful, Xiao Hao has nothing to say, it is true that he will leave as soon as possible, so Xiao Hao looked at the sky outside and said: "General Lei Mingjian, there is really no way, there is no chance to negotiate, let me come in the bureau...... Let you always be mentally prepared. ”

Xiao Hao almost said it head-on, and as soon as he said this, the two halls were already full of crying.

Several men in the main hall also showed sadness, but General Lei didn't, he stared at Xiao Hao and asked, "Don't be vague, explain it plainly!" It's none of your business. ”

"Understand ......? Well, General Lei, at this moment your granddaughter is afraid that she has been beheaded, of course, this debt will be calculated with the Tado Jihadist organization in the future! ”

Xiao Hao gritted his teeth and admitted it.

After speaking, Xiao Hao was silent for a while, but his heart relaxed a lot, he finally made it clear, right? Do you need to say anything yourself? You should be able to go, right? The Lei family can get a well-dressed mound or something, then it's not their own problem.

After listening to Xiao Hao's words, a middle-aged man couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, and the remaining three middle-aged men were full of grief and indignation, while the old general Lei in the upper seat looked ordinary, but he looked at the head on the roof and never went down, and the sound of crying and shouting in the side rooms on both sides was already terrible.

In the room on the left, a girl sat steadily on the kang and did not move, opposite her was Lei Ting's mother, the Lei aunt looked at the crying and was about to faint, although the girl was somewhat disapproving, but at this moment, the girl who was obviously very noble also quietly wiped two tears, although the cousin of the family has been fighting for everything with herself since she was a child, but after all, what do she say now that she is dead!? Syria is so chaotic, it is impossible for the country to save it, this sister who has not been convinced by herself since she was a child is also unlucky enough, and now that everyone is dead, not to mention that the body can't be recovered, don't say anything, and it is right for her to shed a few tears.

In a desolate atmosphere, when Xiao Hao was thinking about how to say goodbye appropriately, the harsh and extremely incongruous telephone rang in a cry, which was addressed to Lei Ting's mother.

Lei Ting's mother didn't read or answer, and she was tired of receiving condolence calls during this time, and what was the use of calling condolence calls again at this moment!? And it's definitely an unfamiliar number.

No one answered the phone Lei Ting's immediate family, but the idle girl looked at the mobile phone ringing on the desktop, looked around and picked up the mobile phone to answer, the call may have been from a relative on her mother's side to inquire, but as soon as she connected the phone, the girl was a little in a daze, and then there was no trace of sadness, but no matter what was said on the other side, she asked in surprise: "You are not dead!?" ”

"Xiao Wang!? How could you answer my call to my mom!? Where's my mom? ”

The girl who was called Xiao Wang immediately realized something, and didn't say more, but immediately handed the phone to the other side: "Auntie, it's Lei Ting's call." ”

The nerves of the girl surnamed Wang were obviously very rough, and a trace of sadness was gone, and she also knew that someone was probably not dead and immediately looked indifferent, but the room full of people who listened to her words, including the men in the hall, were all staggering! Lei Ting called!? How is it possible, didn't the official just inform that he could prepare for the funeral!?

Lei Ting's mother was also stunned, with tears on her face, but the next moment she immediately took the phone, and immediately heard Lei Ting's voice and immediately cried.

A bunch of women looked at Lei Ting's mother after being stunned, but Lei Ting's mother obviously couldn't hold back her excitement after determining something, and immediately fainted, and after the women looked at each other, the phone was immediately sent to General Lei in the hall.

After General Lei took the phone, he glanced at the women, and the women immediately returned to the matching room, and listening to the continuous feeding sound over there, General Lei was no longer looking at the ceiling, and there was no sad look in his eyes, but he asked a little anxiously and incredulously: "Is it Tingting?" ”

"Grandpa!? It's me, God forbid, the call finally got through! ”

At this time, not only did many women gather at the door, but even the girl who didn't move the eight winds also pricked up her ears and listened very puzzled, aren't they all dead!? Why are you alive again!?

General Lei was silent, and after staring at the inexplicable Xiao Hao, he asked, "Good granddaughter, are you ...... now." ”

"Grandpa, the phone is running out of battery soon, let's make a long story short, the agents sent by the state rescued me, and now we are staying on a mountain, a series of mountain tops, I don't know where it is, but it should be in Syria, the south of the mountain is a plain, and the north is the Gobi Desert-like terrain, according to the agent who rescued us, he is alone, and there are no support personnel, and he ...... He was now badly wounded, and his clothes were stained red with blood...... And he fainted, leaving me and Liu Jin in the stage, grandpa, what should I do!? Help me! Help me! ”

As she spoke, Lei Ting began to cry, and her crying was unusually clear in the silent hall at this moment, even through the phone.

After a little thought, General Lei understood the key: "Don't worry, don't cry, crying can't solve any problems, is the agent who rescued you by your side?" ”

"Yes."

"Where did he get hurt?"

"Liu Jin and I unbuttoned his shirt, he was full of bandages, and we didn't dare to touch it, it was his left shoulder that was still bleeding, that ...... That's where I accidentally injured him. ”

At this moment, it was too late to ask why Lei Ting injured the agent, and it was too late to ask why there were agents to save her, General Lei immediately said: "Untie the bandage on his left shoulder, immediately stitch up his wound, feed him some water if there is water, and give it to him, immediately!" ”

Lei Ting cried and said: "Grandpa, no, we don't have tools, and Liu Jin said that I saw that someone was already searching the mountains in the distance, I was scared, grandpa, what should I do?" Help me, grandpa! Woo woo woo ....... ”

A middle-aged man sitting down had already covered his face and whimpered, and General Lei was also speechless, although his granddaughter was taken out of the Tado Jihadist organization, they were still facing a desperate situation! The women who were sitting heard the voice on the phone, and the women didn't understand why the men were still crying and sad since they had been rescued, and the agent who saved Lei Ting couldn't do it, even if someone wanted to find Lei Ting's trouble, didn't it say that it was still far away? Isn't it okay for Lei Ting to run away!?

However, this is just the thoughts of the women, and the faces of the men present are all miserable, although they have not experienced being kidnapped, and they can't personally understand what a terrorist organization is like, but Lei Ting doesn't even know where she is and now someone is chasing them, this is ...... Unless, as Old Man Lei said, wake up the agent immediately, but the agent who listened to Lei Ting doesn't know how many gunshot wounds he suffered, and now he is unconscious because of excessive blood loss, which ...... It's even more desperate than no news!

"Don't cry, Tingting, be strong, be strong! Is there water? ”

"And half a bottle."

"Immediately find a way to feed him some, wipe his palms vigorously, do you have another weapon?"

"Yes, a couple of pistols and two spears, and some grenades."

"Let Liu Jin ambush well, don't panic, don't panic, don't panic, don't worry if you don't wake up yet, you can't go down the mountain now, otherwise you will be discovered immediately, and there are a lot of people searching for you?"

"Liu Jin said that there are three people who are relatively close to us."

"Tell Liu Jin to find a way to kill them, if the agent still ...... Kill the people who are closer to you and go down the mountain immediately, and then find a way to find the Syrian government forces, if it doesn't work, the IS forces can also be, the so-called ISIS forces, but you have to remember that this is only the last option, it is better to find the government forces. ”

"Grandpa, I'm afraid it won't work......."

"If you can't do it, you can do it! Think of your mother and father, be strong and live! Well, do as I say! ”

General Lei had already stood up and turned back and forth, no one spoke on the other side of the phone for the time being, but he could still vaguely hear Lei Ting's whimpering voice and Liu Jin talking about something and asking for water, General Lei said the simple situation to the people present in a few words, and then looked directly at Xiao Hao seriously: "I always thought that the country did not send agents to rescue the hostages, now what's going on!?" It's not a voluntary action of the people, is it? ”
