Cheng Liping's mobile phone was also forced to turn off, because as soon as he got into the rented car, Dajin Wu's warning text message came. "Brother Cheng, someone locked your number through the telecommunications system, and someone in Hong Kong chased you to Thailand, you should be more careful." Cheng Liping smiled coldly after turning off his mobile phone, although the person who tracked him was from Hong Kong, but the person who had the ability to lock him was from the mainland, which can be determined without much thought.

Out of Bangkok, Cheng Liping drove straight to Samut Prakan in the southeast. When I arrived in Samut Prakan, I bought a few phone cards, put the original ones in a safe deposit box in a store, then turned around and headed west, and after arriving at Yegong, I went all the way south. When the Zhang family took the return plane to China the next day, Cheng Liping parked the car in a small town near the sea, ate something casually, and then contacted Liu Weiguo and found a hotel to rest on his own.

On the other side of the capital, in the building of the Ministry of Public Security on Chang'an Avenue in Dongcheng District, several senior officials in their forties and fifties are holding meetings in an office. On the projection screen, Cheng Liping's recent photos and activity traces are highlighted, and the words "Red Island", "Cayman Islands", "Seychelles", "Marshall", "LC Group", "Vietnam" and other words are also marked with various boxes around it. According to Cheng Liping's mobile phone location information, a day ago, he assumed the pseudonym Zeng Zhiqiang and lived in the Blue Crystal Hotel directly opposite Bangkok's East Bay Hospital.

Mr. Luo and Tao Wenjing, who had interviewed Cheng Liping twice, sat in the back seats, and those in the front row were family members from the military and military industry, public security, national security, secret services and other departments. Another person was gray-haired, but in good spirits, holding a small whip to describe Cheng Liping's plan of action.

"If what we expect is right, Cheng Liping currently has a plan to counterattack Hongdao. It's just that the situation is complicated now, and his parents are on the island, so he can't attack for the time being. At present, the two sides are mainly focused on Xu Junlin and Naman Wan'er, and Cheng Liping is an outsider. ”

The head of the secret service nodded and said, "Lao Lu, you have dealt with this young man, tell me, what is the probability that he will succeed in recovering Red Island?" ”

The man turned his head, if Cheng Liping was here, he would definitely be able to immediately recognize this person as Lu Jianping, a senior agent he rescued in Pakistan. Lu Jianping smiled and said, "According to my understanding of him, the success rate of recovering Hongdao is one hundred percent. ”

The head of the secret service frowned and asked, "So high?" ”

Lu Jianping said with a smile: "Liao Bureau, this is a very pertinent evaluation. In fact, when we measure Cheng Liping's strength, we ignore a very important part. Although Liu Weiguo and Gemu's gang are all active in Vietnam, Cheng Hongbin and Cai Zhiquan have not moved at all during this time. So, we think these people are lurking on the Red Island. Red Island is divided into two parts, the main island and the shadow island, we don't know much about the information on the shadow island, but the terrain there is changeable and extremely mysterious, and building a few underground bunkers is the easiest thing. Nalan Wan'er and those Australians are focused on digging mineral deposits, and they will not put any effort into clearing the island. Once Cheng Liping launches a counteroffensive, that group of people should cooperate inside and outside, and it shouldn't be a big problem to drive Nalan Wan'er off Hongdao. ”

After listening to Lu Jianping's tirade, the person in charge of the Ministry of Military Industry said with a wry smile: "According to what you say, we will continue to invest in this young man?" But Wenjing just talked to him a few days ago, and this kid is very uncooperative. ”

Lu Jianping looked at Tao Wenjing, Tao Wenjing nodded helplessly, and said: "This kid was bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years. In my opinion, he was looking for a safe way out for himself. ”

Mr. Luo also added: "Yes, compared with the first half of the year, he is now acting more cautiously and steadily, and ......" He did not say any more, but looked at the military bigwigs on the side.

The military boss half-squinted his eyes, took a sip of tea indifferently, and said: "Xiao Luo, let's go on, we will never treat the contributors who cooperate well with the country." ”

Mr. Luo said: "Moreover, he is now showing signs of losing control. Otherwise, there is no way to explain the fact that he sent his parents to Red Island. He is a dutiful son, so he naturally knows that Hongdao is a war zone, and it is impossible to be peaceful in the near future. ”

The military boss said slowly: "You mean, he would rather put his parents in the flames of war than risk breaking out of our control?" ”

Mr. Luo hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded cautiously: "This is my personal judgment and can only be used as a reference." ”

The military boss turned his head and asked another middle-aged man in a police uniform: "Vice Minister Tian, what do you think?" ”

This person is Tian Zicheng's father, Tian Bochun, and he said in a slow but serious tone: "Orange has never mentioned this young man to his family, but I have checked his resume file in the past few years, and there is basically no other stain except for the brave and ruthless part. I also believe in my daughter's vision, and the man she looks at should be a fair and upright man. Having said that, there was such a big misunderstanding and conflict before, because the country used people inappropriately and calculated him too deeply. ”

The military boss replied expressionlessly, and then turned his head to look at the leader of the National Security Department on the side: "Xiao Cheng, when you were carrying out the task of killing weapons in neighboring countries, you had contact with that young man, tell me your opinion." ”

That person is white and pure, and he is the former director of the National Security Department. However, at this time, Director Cheng had been promoted and became Deputy Director Cheng, who was in charge of security and defense. In front of many big leaders, his expression was still a little restrained, looking at the A4 paper on his desktop, he said in a hurried and nervous tone: "Although it is a family with a surname, I have nothing to do with him." As far as the facts are concerned, this young man is still very good, and we all know how difficult it is to carry out last year's mission, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he will die for a lifetime. But he didn't say a word, and just went into battle single-handedly. Maybe the comrades at the public security mouth would say that he was trying to get away with it, but it was clear that Cui Si and the pork guy were not killed by him at all. ”

The military boss knocked on the table: "Xiao Cheng, tell me what you think of this person, don't extend other things." ”

"Yes." Deputy Director Cheng added, "Last year, Licheng suffered a snowstorm, which then caused a flood to close the city, and Cheng Liping donated 100 million yuan in the name of LC Group to help the citizens of Licheng tide over the difficulties. Later, on the basis of the shares of the flour group, an agricultural support fund was established, with a total amount of 370 million. So, what kind of person he is, I think everyone should have a judgment in their hearts. ”

Vice Minister Tian frowned and said, "How did he get all this money?" I have read his information, a shell restaurant has a year's income of hundreds of thousands, and the flour group naturally has his credit for turning losses into profits, but it is just a small listed company, and he casually donates 100 million yuan in cash, what is going on? ”

The head of the secret service smiled: "We know this better. Since last year, drug lords in Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and other places have all been ambushed and suffered heavy losses. All the drugs were burned, but the money was robbed by a group of unknown people. According to our speculation, these things should have been done by Cheng Liping, Cheng Hongbin and others. ”

The military boss sighed "oh" and said slowly: "Robbing the rich, it seems that he is a knight like Robin Hood." ”

Another said: "It's a good thing, but it's also illegal." Being caught by foreign police is detrimental to the face of our great country. ”

Lu Jianping said with a smile: "What Wang Ju said is good, but they have not been caught many times in a row, which shows that their hands and feet are very clean." So, leaders, based on these basic information, I think that they have a very good chance of recovering the Red Island, and they will never be hostile to their homeland. Of course, this is based on the premise that no one is hostile to him. As for what strategy to adopt against him, it depends on the outcome of group deliberation. ”

The person in charge of the Military Industry Department looked at Tao Wenjing and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, I'll interrupt." With what kind of attitude to him, that's a secondary matter. I have to stress that we care more about timing. Before April next year, it is necessary to get back the mining rights of the diamond mine, otherwise it will be too late to regret the geological upheaval. ”

"Geological upheaval? What does that mean? The military boss frowned.

The head of the military industry department said: "Among the engineers who went to the island to mine and transport diamond mines, there were geological experts we sent. Originally, I was going to let them carefully explore for any other rare mineral deposits on Shadow Island, but after their investigation, they told me that the sea near Red Island is responsible, the geology is unstable, and there is a high probability of an undersea earthquake or volcanic eruption in the next year or two. ”

"Why don't you report something so important?"

"There is no definite factual basis, just the personal speculation of geologists."

The military boss didn't say anything more, because this kind of problem has a huge impact, and the people below don't have real evidence, so they naturally don't dare to report it easily. The front around Hongdao was under Cheng Liping's control, and the back was closed by Nalan Wan'er, so there was no chance to go to investigate carefully.

Everyone communicated carefully for more than half an hour, and finally reached a consensus, that is, to continue to carry out a non-public cooperation plan with Cheng Liping and others, and try their best to help him recover Hongdao in the shortest possible time. Whether Cheng Liping needs it or not, he has to help with this favor, and then continue to vigorously excavate the diamond mines on the island. As for whether the island will be bombed or sunk in the later stage, that is a matter that Cheng Liping himself has to care about, and it has nothing to do with the mainland.

The military boss looked at Lu Jianping, then looked back at Mr. Luo and Tao Wenjing, and said, "The task of communicating with Xiao Cheng is entrusted to the three of you, communicate honestly, be cautious, and put the interests of the country first in everything." I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, everyone, time is limited, so you have to hurry. ”

Lu Jianping didn't want to accept this thankless task, but he could only accept the order due to the organization arrangement. When the bigwigs dispersed, and only Mr. Luo and Tao Wenjing were left in the conference room, Lu Jianping came over and sat next to the two of them, and said: "Xiao Cheng is already in Thailand, and the surveillance information shows that he is in Samut Prakan, two, which of us will go over and run in person?" ”

Mr. Luo and Tao Wenjing looked at Lu Jianping with a smile on their faces at the same time: "Old Lu, they are all serving the country, you have a friendship with him, so you should go." ”

Lu Jianping smiled bitterly: "I knew it was like this." ”
