On the outskirts of Guangzhou, the gate of an old Chinese courtyard is closed, the weeds have just been removed, and the smell of dirt and herbs wafts from it. Compared with the desolation outside, this set of three-in and three-out yards has a unique atmosphere, and the ground paved with blue bricks and stones is clean; There are still some flowers and plants planted in the yard, and the furniture of Huanghuali is placed in the house; On the walls are hung the ink treasures of literati and ink writers, revealing the fragrance of ink in the leisurely manner.

Extremely incongruous with this scene were several men dressed in black at the door, they were wearing black satin coats, the shell gun in their waists was open, a secret sentry on the roof was observing the surroundings, and the muzzle of the black hole was also fearlessly observing with him.

This is a secret residence of the Central Investigation Department of the Kuomintang Party Department, where Huang Ke's family members - Zhao Xiaowan and her son Tiger Boy are being imprisoned, and they are resting in the guest room at the moment. Zhao Xiaowan pretended to fall asleep with a five-year-old tiger boy, observing the surrounding situation through the light of the window, the tiger boy is the nickname of Zhao Xiaowan and Huang Ke's child, and the big name has been taken a few but Huang Ke did not agree, Zhao Xiaowan looked at the child's tiger head and tiger brain, so she simply called the tiger boy.

Two days ago, they were picked up by the car in the town of Luokou. The leader of the people was a rosacea man wearing a lapel national uniform, and he smiled and said to Zhao Xiaowan that they were from the Reserve Cadres Department of the Ministry of National Defense, and Commander Huang sent them to pick them up at the train station.

Zhao Xiaowan was indeed going to the train station that day, and it was someone from the preparatory cadre department who went to pick it up, but that rosacea was a fresh face, so she casually asked why I haven't seen you?

Rosacea took off his top hat and said with a smile, they can't always show their heads in this business. Zhao Xiaowan knew the nature of the Reserve Cadre Department of the Ministry of National Defense, so she didn't think much about getting into the car.

The Buick sedan is designed to be very comfortable, Zhao Xiaowan is sitting in the back with the little tiger boy in her arms, and the car exudes a strange perfume smell. She wanted to ask what the perfume was, but she quickly fell asleep in the car. When they woke up from a short sleep, they found themselves heading out into the wilderness.

Zhao Xiaowan seemed to understand something, but she was still a little surprised and asked, "Isn't the train station going here?" Who the hell are you? ”

Rosacea, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and smiled: "Don't mind, Mrs. Huang, we invite you to get together with a few old friends." I used a little trick to get you to sleep a little longer, but now it's okay, we'll be there later. By the way, don't try to run away, or your child will be miserable. ”

Zhao Xiaowan opened the curtain and saw that around the car were four sidecar motorcycles, on which sat several men in black satin coats, because the suburbs were sparsely populated, they did not shy away from carrying the shell gun in their hands.

Zhao Xiaowan gasped, she hugged the child in her arms tightly, and then said coldly to rosacea: "Who sent you?" What exactly do you want to do? ”

Rosacea didn't even look back this time, but said coldly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" ”

After driving for a while, the car turned around and drove in front of a deserted village. Then the group got out of the car and walked forward, and walked for a long time before coming to a courtyard with three entrances and three exits.

Don't look at this place is inconspicuous, but there is a lot of mystery, the courtyard wall outside is made of three layers of green bricks, and there are shooting holes around it; The attic was a nice observation post, and the bunk was stocked with plenty of food and ammunition; Pushing open the door, the inside is clean, the two wells in the yard are constantly clear all year round, and the two ornamental banana trees next to them are lush and green, showing strong vitality.

"Don't mind, Mrs. Huang, we have no choice but to do this. Madame and your son will stay here for a few days for the time being, and when there is nothing to do, I will find a few people to accompany Nida Mahjong to spend time, and you will be on it. After the rosacea finished speaking, he tilted his head and motioned for a few people to "invite" Zhao Xiaowan and Tiger Boy into the house.

After staying here for a day, rosacea brought two more women, Zhao Xiaowan saw that both of them were about 20 years old, wearing satin cheongsam, and one was also carrying a girl of the same age as her own child.

Zhao Xiaowan wanted to go out and have a look, but saw the two women limping in, it seemed that the gang had been rough with them just now, a woman with curly hair was holding a four or five-year-old girl in her arms, the girl was very beautiful, and her big eyes were very beautiful in a blink of a blink.

Zhao Xiaowan stepped forward to ask a few words, one of the two of them was called Lu Shuang, and the other was called Wu Binglu, it turned out that the two of them Lu Shuang was the wife of General Cui Wu, Wu Binglu was Wang Maocai's wife, and the child was Wang Maocai's daughter

Son, I'm 3 years old this year.

The two of them were in awe after knowing that Zhao Xiaowan was Huang Ke's wife, they had heard about the romantic story of Huang Ke and Zhao Xiaowan for a long time, and after seeing me, they felt that the two of them were really a pair made in heaven. Zhao Xiaowan has stayed abroad, and she has been doing business with her family since she was a child, so she is naturally very arrogant in her personality, and her two younger sisters Lu Shuang are a little reserved, but Wu Binglu and Wang Maocai are very similar, and they are also in a hurry when they do things.

The three of them quickly forgot about the outside world and fell silent in their own world. Wang Maocai married his daughter-in-law Zhao Xiaowan knew that he was in Chengdu at that time, and Huang Ke also sent someone to send a generous gift; However, when Cui Wu, a cold-faced general, got married, they had never heard of it.

Lu Shuang was very smart, he saw Zhao Xiaowan and Wu Binglu's thoughts, she smiled faintly: "Actually, Cui Wu and I haven't had a wedding yet." It was also by chance that I met Cui Wu on the campus of National Sun Yat-sen University, when he was passing through our school in the garrison, and an officer tried to molest a female student, so we went forward to theorize. When Cui Wu heard this, he punished the officer in public, and I admired him very much at that time. ”

Lu Shuang's eyes showed an expectant look, and the next thing naturally came to pass. Cui Wu is a bachelor, can he not be tempted in the face of such a watery female college student?

However, because Cui Wu has been fighting abroad all the year round, the marriage between the two has been delayed. Because Guangzhou was the political and military center of the government before, because of Wang Maocai, they also placed their families here, but they were served in a pot now.

Wu Binglu asked a little worriedly, "Madam, whose subordinates do you think these are?" I'm still a little worried. ”

Zhao Xiaowan, who knows a little about politics, smiled indifferently and said: "Sister, don't worry, the ultimate goal of them is to use us to blackmail Huang Ke and them, if I don't guess wrong, they are either from the Red Party or from the Wuhan government." ”

When she said this, Zhao Xiaowan lowered her voice, she was afraid that it would be unfavorable to her if she heard it outside.

By this time, the agents outside had already heard their words, but they didn't care about it, the rosacea's task was to take all the family members on the list hostage, and then hide them in a place where no one could find them, and after the good food and drink, they would release the people after the incident.

Rosacea thought for a long time, and set the location in the countryside near Guangzhou, which is called "dark under the lamp".

There are more than a dozen people on the list, and he has completed three of them, but rosacea knows in his heart that he has completed most of the tasks, Huang Ke, Wang Maocai, Cui Wu and their families are all extraordinary, and the meaning is naturally different, and the rest are some inconsequential small roles.

After the success of this mission, rosacea will be valued by the Chen brothers, and even enter the eyes of Chairman Wang, and his status will naturally skyrocket. Thinking of this, rosacea cocked his legs, took a sip of tea, and smiled.

……

While rosacea was triumphantly admiring his masterpiece, his peers not far away were not idle, but compared to rosacea, their lives were not so good.

The Guangzhou Station of the Reserve Cadres Department of the Ministry of National Defense conducted a comprehensive search, but after a few days, Huang Ke's family could not be found, and the colonel station commander Li Ziming was greatly annoyed, and before he had a seizure, the following events made Li Ziming even more angry: at noon that day, the family of Wang Maocai, a general of the Western Front Army, also disappeared; In the afternoon of the same day, even Cui Wu's wife-to-be was gone, all of which made Li Ziming almost collapse.

Yang Yibing called several times to ask and urge, and Li Ziming swore on the phone that he could not find anyone to go to Nanjing to resume his life.

Yang Yibing scolded back: "You came to Nanjing to resume your life, so how can I explain to Comrade Xinghua, Cui Wu and Wang Maocai?" Do you want me to go to see me? ”

"Yes! It is not good to do things in a lowly position, and I also ask the volunteer comrades to punish them. Li Ziming on the other end of the phone already had a premonition of the coming storm.

"Comrade Ziming, punishment is not the goal, the important thing is to solve the problem, you don't have too much psychological pressure." There was a thick northern accent on the other end of the phone, how could Li Ziming not hear it, this was their behind-the-scenes boss Huang Ke.

Li Ziming was a little excited, Huang Ke was talking to him at this time, but he came to comfort himself, so that he didn't know what to say.

Huang Ke didn't feel the change in Li Ziming's mood over there, and he continued: "Now it seems that this is no longer a simple kidnapping for ransom, but a serious political incident. The matter is aimed at me and the generals of the Lao Xiguan faction, and your comrade director Yibing is also from the old Xiguan, so the family members should also pay attention to it. ”

"Now you have to strengthen the protection of the families of the generals in Guangzhou, and at the same time pay close attention to clues. If you don't have enough manpower, you can find the Xiguan Military Academy or the Guangzhou Garrison Command to mobilize troops, remember! Be sure to check it out. ”

After finishing speaking, the other party hung up the phone, Li Ziming let out a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone, he felt an unprecedented burden on his shoulders, he knew that he would climb to the sky in one step if he picked well, and if he didn't pick well, he would fall into the abyss.

One step away, one step away! Li Ziming's military personality drove him to be decisive, he picked up the black phone in front of the table, shook it and said, "Help me take over the garrison headquarters!" Yes, this is the Guangzhou Station of the Reserve Cadre Department of the Ministry of National Defense. ”
