Early the next morning, Huang Ke and Yang Yibing flew to Guangzhou on the "Grand Viking" plane.

Huang Ke is now the chairman of the National Industrial Construction Committee, which used to be a temporary patchwork department, but Huang Ke has made this department alive, and has made it an important department with power and oil, and its status is even comparable to that of the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of National Defense and other key departments.

Recently, there have been more and more things related to industrial construction, and Huang Ke has become more and more busy. Not long ago, tractor production equipment imported from the United States and German workers have recently arrived, and the machines have been assembled and commissioned, but the problem of German workers settling in has become troublesome; Li Siguang and other scientists have discovered abundant oil fields in northern Shandong, and are ready to purchase and purchase equipment for procurement and refining, but they have not been able to reconcile the issue of land acquisition for a long time. In addition, the railway policy proposed by Huang Ke has also begun to be implemented, and the railway construction between Nanjing, Wuhan, Beijing and other important cities has been in full swing, but the Ministry of Communications has inserted a rod from it, saying that it is necessary to carry out joint construction; The new artillery developed by the Gongxian Arsenal was also debugged in the troops, but the first batch of 15 debugged guns were detained by the troops, and they said that they would belong to them after the debugging......

There are countless things like this every day, and Huang Ke's desk has already reviewed many approvals, and at this time Huang Ke is thinking, it would be nice if he could have a competent secretary.

After several hours of wind, the plane finally arrived in Guangzhou. Although Huang Ke came secretly, representatives of the Guangzhou Provincial Government, the Garrison Command, the Xiguan Military Academy, and the merchant group had all received the news in advance and rushed to the airport to greet them on the same day.

There are only a dozen people in the greeting team, but they are all very high local people in Guangzhou, when Huang Ke shot on the streets of Guangzhou to stop the Japanese ronin riots, and later led troops from Guangzhou to the Northern Expedition, and also found the support of the Guangzhou chaebols when the country began industrial construction, which made Huang Ke and Guangzhou always closely linked, this time back to Guangzhou, although everyone knows what to come for, but the face is also filled with the joy of welcome.

After chatting a few words with people from the provincial government, the garrison headquarters, the police department and other departments, Huang Ke walked quickly to Fu Wangshan, the representative of the business group, and he and Fu Wangshan's hands were tightly clasped together.

"Commander Huang, welcome home! We, the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Guangzhou Chamber of Commerce, are looking forward to it. Fu Wangshan said with a smile, now he is already a capital tycoon in Guangzhou and Southeast Asia, the economic prosperity has brought them huge economic development opportunities, now Fu Wangshan not only has spinning, ceramics and other light industry business, but also involved in steel, ships, aviation and a series of heavy industries, the status is also very different from before.

Huang Ke and Fu Wangshan exchanged a few words and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the people in your business group are looking forward to me leaving early, I used to ask you for money every time I came, haha!" ”

Huang Ke's words amused everyone, but these words are the truth, in the past, every time Huang Ke came to ask for money, war and military expenses, and preparations for industrial construction, but now it is different, according to the previous agreement, in the large industrial factories invested, they invested in the capital according to their own investment, although they do not participate in management, but they get a lot of dividends every year, and they naturally will not refuse the good thing of sitting at home and counting money.

"In the past, Commander Huang needed to borrow money to fight, but now when he has money, he will come over to repay the money, is it too late for everyone to be happy? How can it be disgusted? It was a sharp-toothed girl who spoke, it seemed that she was in her twenties, Huang Ke felt that this person was a little familiar, and he suddenly thought: "You are Fu Jin!" It's been so many years, or so young? ”

Huang Ke is a person who has stayed abroad, and even in public, he makes this kind of joke, but fortunately, Guangzhou opened up earlier, and there will be no accusations from some moral old masters, and everyone looks at it with a smile.

After the simple welcome ceremony, Huang Ke went to the Guangdong Provincial Government to arrange the line to stay, originally Huang Ke wanted to go back to Xiguan's hometown, after all, there is still a house there, but considering the provincial government's face and the convenience of contact, he also stayed that day.

After Huang Ke, Yang Yibing and others stayed, a wave of officers from the Guangzhou Station of the Reserve Department hurried to Xingyuan. Station Commander Li Ziming and a large group of personnel had already rushed to the outside of the line, and they were stopped at the door by the guards, waiting for Huang Ke to let them in.

Huang Ke did not make it difficult for them, and after a routine briefing, several people were allowed to enter the line. Before entering the line, he also fired the gun as usual. Li Ziming was a little worried, it has been three days since the incident, and they can be said to have no clues, according to the common sense in the past, I am afraid that the other party has already killed people.

After entering the room, Huang Ke and Yang Yibing were sitting on the sofa in the middle of the living room, both of them wearing black national clothes with lapels, but Huang Ke was tall and looked more burly.

"Report!" Li Ziming and several major officers stood up straight, and Huang Ke noticed that Li Ziming's collar was a little worn, but he seemed to have been tugging inside, and it could be seen that he was not deliberately putting on a show, but that he was in a hurry and did not change his clothes.

"How did you do that? Do you not know what Comrade Xinghua and I are here for? Everyone else has been on the scene once, and you are the protagonists of this matter, why did you come so late? What time is it? Do you have to wait until tomorrow morning to come back? Yang Yibing shouted loudly, and several people immediately stood more upright, but their faces were ashamed.

In fact, I don't blame them, it's just that the airport didn't let them in at that time, plus the vehicles were all sent out to search, and only one of the cars in the station broke down, and several people came over in three jumpers, so it's no wonder that they were discouraged.

"It's okay, it's okay, no matter how anxious you are, don't be in a hurry. Comrades have worked hard, come, don't stand, sit down. Huang Ke smiled and said that he and Yang Yibing also cooperated well, which made Li Ziming even more excited.

"Comrade Xinghua, Comrade Volunteers, these are the materials we have just received, please take a look!" Li Ziming said and handed over a ransom account written in small letters, which clearly stated everyone's price, and Mrs. Huang Ke and her son actually asked for one million oceans.

Huang Ke took it and handed it to Yang Yibing, Yang Yibing smashed his fist on the table after reading it, and the glass glass on the table was shaken from side to side.

"It's so arrogant! This is clearly a disregard for social law and discipline. If it was a kidnapper, the female dependents should have made a request on the same day, but they did not follow the rules and only raised it after three days? What do they want to do? Yang Yibing was a little angry, but seeing that Huang Ke was still sitting next to him, it was his family members who were tied up, so it was not good to say anything more, he tapped the list in front of him with his index finger and middle finger and said: "Comrade Ziming, what do you think?" ”

Li Ziming pondered for a moment and said: "I think so, since these people can send a letter over, they will naturally have some contact with the bandits. I've sent someone from the operation team to follow them, I've searched their hiding place, and I'm now confirming the hostages. Once the hostages are safe, we're ready to catch them. Li Ziming said that it was not leaky, Huang Ke nodded with satisfaction, Yang Yibing glanced at Huang Ke's expression, and then asked Li Ziming, "Go and contact the comrades who are scouting and check the progress." ”

Li Ziming stood up and nodded, "Yes!" The subordinates will do it. ”

When the group was about to get up and leave Xingyuan, Huang Ke waved his hand to stop them, "Wait a minute, let's go with you, sitting here won't work." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Yang Yibing beside him, and Yang Yibing nodded: "Since Comrade Xinghua is going, let's go over and have a look." ”

In this way, the convoy set off from Xingyuan and went straight to the office of the Guangzhou Station of the Reserve Cadre Office. Huang Ke and Yang Yibing rode in a Dodge car, and Li Ziming and they both rode sidecar three-wheeled motorcycles to drive in front and rear. Huang Ke and Yang Yibing sat in the back row, and Shishizai sat in the co-pilot.

There was no air conditioning in the car, which was extremely stuffy, but fortunately, ice cubes were put in front of the car to cool down, but Huang Ke still sweated. Yang Yibing took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Huang Ke, motioning for him to wipe his sweat.

Huang Ke knew that this was a hand towel made inside the preparatory cadre department, and even the towels and basins were printed with these words, so he put the hand towel away and folded it neatly in his pocket and said with a smile: "I won't return it to you, it's dirty!" I'll keep one too, your comrades in the pre-cadre department are very hard and frugal. ”

Yang Yibing knew that Huang Ke was talking about the abrasion marks on Li Ziming's clothes, so he nodded and said, "Yes, just like Guangzhou Station, there are many young people from poor backgrounds. Although Li Ziming's family background is not bad, he has always been thrifty. Although this man is of average talent, he is also a loyal man. ”

Huang Ke nodded: "Guangzhou is an important economic and political city, the significance of this station is not trivial, a tiger should be sent to guard the town, the stationmaster of Guangzhou Station can be high, and the rank of major general is appropriate." Li Ziming is only a colonel now, and his personality is too weak, and he lacks courage and strategy in handling affairs, so I think it is more suitable for him to be transferred to the headquarters department. ”

The words have been said to this point, Yang Yibing naturally understands, and he is already repeatedly searching for the candidate for the head of Guangzhou Station in his mind.

The line was not very far from the pre-dry office, and the car arrived there after half an hour. After Huang Ke got out of the car, he immediately went to the conference room to hold a deployment meeting, and Li Ziming transferred manpower to strengthen the guards.

The conference room was already full of officers in lapel-collar uniforms, and although none of them were wearing military uniforms, the fortitude on their faces showed that they were all from the army.

Huang Ke walked into the conference room surrounded by everyone, and at this time, the officers waiting inside immediately stood up by reflex, and at the same time raised their right hands to salute Huang Ke, and Huang Ke also returned the military salute. Walking to the table, Huang Ke waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and all the officers sat down like a waterline, their waists straight, without touching the back of the chair behind them.

For such a military style, Huang Ke is very satisfied. He motioned for the meeting to begin, and a major in charge of the investigation talked about the day's investigation.

"Report to Comrade Xinghua, we have detected the whereabouts of the blackmailers and the hiding place of the gang sent today, but there are no hostages inside. Now we've caught them and scouted them along the way. ”

"Did anyone interrogate?" Yang Yibing interjected and asked.

"It's been tried, they are bandits in this area, and they said that they wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob before they came up with such a trick. Later, when the punishment was applied, they confessed that they had been instructed to do so. When we found the man, he had already been killed in his home, but we investigated and found that this person was an officer from the Guangzhou station of the Central Party Affairs Investigation Bureau. The Major handed over an interrogation report.

Huang Ke took the report and looked at it, his heart was churning like a river, the matter verified his previous guess, it was indeed the Wuhan government that was playing tricks, and today people sent these information but cut off the clues, it seems that it was intentional. The purpose is naturally to tell Huang Ke that the family is in their hands.

Yang Yibing has also understood that the plan of action to clean up the party that is about to be carried out by the Kuomintang Party Department of the previous Wuhan government is all this obvious, is it just the other party leading the way? Yang Yibing was unwilling, the most important thing at the moment was to rescue his family, only when the hostages were safe, they would not threaten anything.

"Are there any other clues? I don't care who kidnapped these people now, what I want is where are the hostages hidden? How to get them out. Yang Yibing tapped the table with his middle knuckle to ask questions, and the officers sitting on both sides were dumbfounded, they really didn't have any clue, and as soon as that person died, this clue was broken.

"Report! Subordinates have clues related to investigation. Everyone followed the prestige, but it was a young man who had just refilled the conference room with tea.
