Chapter 95: Hostage Exchange
PS: Thank you readers for your support.
Ning Shoucheng, the head of the Liuyun Provincial Army Headquarters, received a call from Xiao Junyan at noon and was a little dissatisfied with Xiao Junyan. The good Dongshan City was handed over to Xiao Junyan to manage, but there have been frequent problems recently. Xiao Junyan said that Hu Jiehua was a spy for assassinating the country, but Ning Shoucheng was cautious about this, after all, Hu Jiehua was an excellent agent trained by the State Security Administration of Zheguo, and he could not make hasty conclusions based on the accusations of just a few people. When it comes to national security, we must be cautious, so his first call to Xiao Junyan only gave instructions to closely monitor Hu Jiehua, rather than arresting Hu Jiehua.
As soon as he hung up Xiao Junyan's phone, he received another call from the General Administration of State Security of Zheguo, saying that Hu Jiehua had investigated Jiang Xuezi and found that Jiang Xuezi was suspected of leaking serious state secrets, and that the General Administration of State Security was sending a commissioner to investigate the source of the leak, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Xiao Junyan, because Jiang Xuezi was Xiao Junyan's illegitimate daughter and it was not a secret among the upper leaders.
Therefore, Ning Shoucheng felt that the conflict between Xiao and Hu was not what it was on the surface. However, when Xiao Junyan called for the second time and heard that the gendarmerie had been bombed and Xiao Junyan was sniped, Ning Shoucheng couldn't sit still anymore and directly ordered Hu Jiehua to be arrested, but, for the sake of the overall situation, Ning Shoucheng did not order the arrest of Hu Qiuyuan, after all, Hu Qiuyuan was the leader of the Dongshan City Water Organ, and if this person was to be moved, he must be fully prepared, otherwise, it would bring unexpected consequences.
Ning Shoucheng was just about to send someone to Dongshan City urgently to understand and deal with the intensifying conflict between Xiao and Hu, but Vice President Liang Qianli walked in directly without knocking on the door.
"Old Liang, what's the matter, so anxious?" Liang Qianli rarely came in without knocking on the door, and at noon, he suddenly broke down the door, there must be something urgent.
"Mr. Ning, it's not good. Jingwen was kidnapped by Hu Jiehua at the Dongyue Hotel in Dongshan City. Then he threw a high-energy bomb at Jingwen, but fortunately, the captain of the Dongshan Castle Gendarmerie, Miyataka Mu, was present and dealt with the crisis, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. Liang Qianli briefly described the situation of Ning Jingwen's distress. Ning Jingwen is Ning Shoucheng's daughter, and Liang Qianli must report such a shocking event as soon as possible.
"What?!How is Jingwen?" Ning Shoucheng couldn't be calm anymore and jumped up from his chair.
According to Miya, Shizumi may have been a little frightened and was not harmed by the bomb. ”
"Where is Jingwen now? I'm going to talk to her right away. Ning Shoucheng said anxiously.
"Jingwen was resting at the Dongyue Hotel, and I immediately called her. Liang Qianli picked up the phone on Ning Shoucheng's desk. Dial the phone number. After a while, he handed the phone to Ning Shoucheng.
"Jingwen, I'm Dad, are you okay. Ning Shoucheng tried his best to control the situation, so that the tone was stable and powerful.
"Dad, how did you find out so quickly. I'm fine, don't worry. ”
"Jingwen, tell Dad what happened. Ning Shoucheng heard that his daughter's tone was not abnormal, and let go of his heart hanging in the air. But then the anger flared up. Just now she was wondering if Hu Jiehua might have been wronged, but now she heard Hu Jiehua kidnapping her daughter and throwing a high-energy bomb. This is really unbearable for uncle, but uncle can't bear it. He didn't believe that Hu Jiehua didn't know that Ning Jingwen was his daughter, it seemed that Hu Jiehua was mad, not only provoking the top leaders at the prefecture level. It also provoked provincial-level feudal officials. This is not only an act of assassination and espionage, but also a heinous crime in an attempt to overthrow the Zheguo regime.
Ning Jingwen told what happened on the phone, and Ning Shoucheng listened. His face turned bluer. He is really speechless, he is messing around, it is actually a bloody love drama, this kind of idiotic behavior is the work of the Zhewang card agent?
Ning Shoucheng wondered if Hu Jiehua was taking revenge on Jiang Xuezi because he pursued Jiang Xuezi unsuccessfully, and he was now desperate to talk to Xiao Junyan to completely find out what Hu Jiehua had done in Dongshan City, turning the entire Dongshan City upside down.
The phone on the table rang suddenly, Ning Shoucheng picked up the phone, only to hear the other end of the phone say anxiously: "Director Ning, I got the exact news that Xiao Junyan, the Minister of the Army Department of Dongshan City, was kidnapped by unknown people, and it is suspected that it was Hu Jiehua's henchmen. At present, the Dongshan City Gendarmerie is searching and preparing to rescue Minister Xiao. ”
"Who's calling here?"
"It's the Office of the War Department in Higashiyama City. ”
"What is Chang Yifan doing?" Ning Shoucheng was so angry that he almost dropped the phone.
"Director Ning, I don't know, I'll ask right away. The other end of the phone was obviously afraid of Ning Shoucheng.
"Let Chang Yifan call me directly. ”
Ning Shoucheng felt that the situation was getting out of control, and even Xiao Junyan had been kidnapped, could it really be Hu Jiehua's doing? However, in view of Hu Jiehua's madness of daring to kidnap Ning Ningwen, it was not unexpected that he kidnapped Xiao Junyan.
Liang Qianli's face was as pale as earth, and this had to pierce the sky! What he was most worried about was: Was the fire between his people and the Qinglongmen a few days ago not related to these things? If it was involved, then he would also die.
Liang Qianli now regrets that he sent eight people to Dongshan City, he knew that Dongshan City was a muddy pond, and he was really confused, so he had to go in and intervene. This is good, there is no benefit, not only lost six lives, but also stained with mud.
Within two minutes, the phone rang again. Ning Shoucheng grabbed the phone and said, "I'm Ning Shoucheng." ”
A respectful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, Director Ning." I am Chang Yifan, deputy minister of the War Department of Dongshan City. We have already controlled Hu Qiuyuan's henchmen and backbones, and now that we have found traces of Hu Qiuyuan, we are pursuing them with all our might!"
After listening to this, Ning Shoucheng shouted: "Who asked you to arrest Hu Qiuyuan?"
"It was Minister Xiao who personally gave the order!" Chang Yifan heard the unkindness of Ning Shoucheng's tone, and replied cautiously.
"Bastard! Xiao Junyan was kidnapped, do you know about this?" Ning Shoucheng asked coldly.
"As I learned not long ago, the gendarmerie is rushing to the suspected area to search and rescue with all its might!" Chang Yifan's head broke out in cold sweat, and the power of the sky was unpredictable.
"Do you wish that Minister Xiao would not be rescued?" Ning Shoucheng's anger when he left, his boss was kidnapped, and the deputy actually did not personally sit in charge of the rescue, but let the understaffed gendarmerie go to the rescue, what is the intention of this deputy?
Minister Ning,... , I have never... I thought about it like this..."Chang Yifan was scared and urinated directly in his trousers, once this crime was deducted. Even if he has a hundred heads, it's not enough to cut off.
"Immediately stop arresting Hu Qiuyuan and support the gendarmerie!" Ning Shoucheng directly gave an order, as a provincial official, he rarely interfered in local operations, but this Chang Yifan was really useless, and he had to act as the leader of Dongshan City.
"Okay, do it right away. ... General Director Ning, I must report to you the latest news, Hu Qiuyuan has fled to Mai Guo's office in Dongshan City, what should we do next?"
"What! Hu Qiuyuan fled to Mai Guo's office! Don't support the gendarmerie yet. I sent people to surround the Maiguo office, but I must not send anyone into the Maiguo office, so I immediately asked my superiors for instructions. You're standing outside the Mai Guo office. When Ning Shoucheng heard the word Mai Guo, he immediately retracted his decision two seconds ago, he was already numb by waves of earth-shattering predictions. The first few things are still within the scope of his control, but Hu Qiuyuan's defection to the Mai State Office is beyond his control, and this matter must be reported to the Zheguo Government Council and the big people in Tongtian.
Ruan Jingtian decided to temporarily give up the pursuit of Hu Jiehua and concentrate all his manpower to find and rescue Xiao Junyan. He left 20 administrative and logistical personnel in the gendarmerie, and the available manpower included nearly 140 gendarmes and 50 guards of the 796th Division Lingyunmu. Ruan Jingtian asked these people to come to the vicinity of the old walnut alley in civilian clothes.
He had seen two snipers from afar. I have also seen a doctor wearing a mask and two nurses in an ambulance, and the portrait expert drew a rough picture of the five people based on his description. Each person held portraits of five people and a photo of Xiao Junyan in their hands, focusing on the small shops, restaurants and other fixed business places in the area.
This is the easiest. But it is also the most manpower-intensive crowd tactic. There is no way, his opponent is a Zhewang card agent, an expert in escape and hiding, and Ruan Jingtian has no better and more effective tricks. This kind of stupid trick of casting a wide net can only be adopted. In fact, Ruan Jingtian also has countless thoughts about whether this trick is effective.
Nguyen Ching Tien values the small shops and grocery stores the most, and the owners and associates of these shops are generally very familiar with the permanent residents in his neighborhood. And he is generally curious and sensitive to unfamiliar faces, and he is even more impressed by strange things.
Ruan Jingtian guessed: These people kidnapped Xiao Junyan, if Xiao Junyan is sober, then these people must block Xiao Junyan's mouth, and also tie up Xiao Junyan, such a move is very eye-catching in broad daylight, these people generally do not adopt this method of kidnapping; another method is to make Xiao Junyan unconscious, two or three people support Xiao Junyan, giving others a false impression of helping the drunk man go home, this method is more suitable for kidnapping in broad daylight.
And the owners and men of small shops and small shops are not uncommon or strange about this kind of thing, but they will also take a few more glances, after all, getting drunk in broad daylight is still a relatively rare thing.
Therefore, Nguyen Jingtian ordered the arresters to focus on asking the owner of the shop and the men if they had seen such two men and two women plus an unconscious person.
Although Ruan Jingtian's tricks are stupid, the effect is good. The first piece of valuable news came from a small shop that ran groceries, which was located on the edge of the search circle. The owner of the store said that about two hours earlier, he saw two men and two women carrying a man carrying an unconscious man who resembled Mr. Xiao.
Ruan Jingtian was in good spirits, and immediately adjusted the scope of the search, according to the direction described by the shopkeeper to the direction of these people's walking, arranged a search area within a radius of two miles, and still used the same tricks.
Half an hour later, the good news spread, and the owners of two shops also saw such five people. Based on the new discoveries, Nguyen Ching Tien readjusted the scope of the search again, and finally targeted about 50 or so houses.
Ruan Jingtian gathered a team of nearly 200 people and divided them into ten groups, each group of nearly 20 people, each group was responsible for five houses, and searched from house to house. If Xiao Junyan's whereabouts are discovered, don't act without authorization, immediately send a contact signal, and wait for Ruan Jingtian to arrive before making a decision.
Hu Jiehua disguised himself as a middle-aged man, and walked without a trace to the agreed two-story house, where Xiao Junyan was imprisoned, and Xiao Junyan would be an important bargaining chip in his hands.
He was very dissatisfied with today's actions, unexpected things happened frequently, and the plan made in advance by Miyatakagi almost became a joke. He arranged three interlocking plans: one was to snipe at Miyatakagi in the gendarmerie cafeteria or at the gate, the second was to plant a bomb at the gendarmerie gate, and the third was to prepare a fake ambulance if Miyatakagi had not died in the first two links. All three solutions are seamless and flawless. But people are not as good as heaven, who would have thought that it was not Gong Xiaomu who was sniped by the Guards Brigade directly under him, but Xiao Junyan, and fortunately it was Xiao Junyan who sniped. If it's a shrimp soldier who snipes, then this perfect plan is a complete joke. But the root cause of almost becoming a joke turned out to be that no one in the Guards Brigade knew Gong Xiaomu, and no one knew Xiao Junyan, what was the matter!
What he did to Ning Jing Wen was also a mess, although he successfully met Ning Ning Wen and made an affectionate confession to her, but the unexpected thing was: Gong Xiaomu actually came to find Jing Jingwen. This made Hu Jiehua lose his mind in anger, and threw high-energy bombs directly at the dog man and woman, trying to blow them to pieces. This is not the result he wants, the result he wants is to fly with Tranquility Wen. Although he heard the bomb explode violently. I feel very relieved, but I am also very heartbroken. His love vanished with the bomb, and he would never love again.
What puzzled Hu Jiehua was that when he grabbed Ning Ningwen's neck, he felt a brief mental trance and didn't remember anything. He has undergone strict psychological torture training and has a strong will beyond ordinary people, how could he drop the chain at a critical moment? If it weren't for Gong Xiaomu slapping him and making him sober up, then it is very likely that the dog man and woman would have escaped in the end.
Thought of a slap on the shoulder. He didn't think that Gong Xiaomu's martial arts level could make him suffer from Yan Zhanng's injury, after all, he was the young head of the Hu family, with a family history and a deep level of martial arts. Among the younger generation of Zheguo, it is a very high ranking leader.
However, after Hu Jiehua escaped from the Dongyue Hotel, he felt that his right shoulder was becoming more and more wrong. And the whole right half of his body gradually became numb, and he tried to operate the inner family true qi, to his surprise. True Qi is actually not working well. He was shocked in his heart, this palace filial piety must have cultivated a vicious martial art, which can hurt the meridians.
He looked at Gong Xiaomu for the first time, and it seemed that Hu Qiuyuan was afraid of this kid for no reason. He took a Saint Pill to treat his internal injuries, and felt that his injuries had improved slightly, and he felt a little comfort in his heart.
Suddenly, five burly people appeared in front of Hu Jiehua's eyes, he was a well-informed person, and he could see at a glance that these five people were from the army and had received special training, and their every move revealed the characteristics of often protecting important people, and he put a question mark in his heart: "Could it be that these people are the guard regiment or guard company in the army?"
He didn't dare to go any further, so he looked left and right, walked to a teahouse, and sat down in a window position. The guard of the head of the army appeared here, definitely not to drink flower wine and visit the kiln, but to carry out a heavy task. What is the task of this heavy dà?
Hu Jiehua is an agent, he doesn't believe in any coincidence or coincidence, and if a small probability event occurs, it must mean that this is an inevitable event, not an accidental event. Could this inevitable event have anything to do with his business? He had to understand it before he could continue his business.
He drank two cups of tea, and a familiar but frightened figure came into view, and Gong Xiaomu led the five guards and a dozen or so others into a hotel.
Hu Jiehua almost collapsed: such a powerful bomb didn't kill Gong Xiaomu, and there was not even the slightest sign of injury. Is Gong Takamu a human or a ghost?
Fortunately, Hu Jiehua's psychological element is excellent, otherwise he would have fainted on the spot. Gong Xiaomu is not dead, and if someone appears here, he must be coming for him, or for Xiao Junyan, who was kidnapped.
He had to call Ah San immediately to inform them of the transfer, but when he picked up the public phone of the teahouse, he sadly found that Gong Xiaomu led a group of people out of the hotel, this group of nearly 200 people, they were divided into ten teams in an orderly manner, and ran to different houses, one of the teams was running towards Ah San's house.
Hu Jiehua understood that it was too late to call, and the best option for him was to leave here and look for an opportunity to escape.
Ruan Jingtian did not participate in any of the groups, he had to be in the middle, and once he got the signal, he rushed to rescue Xiao Junyan as soon as possible. He used the Xuangang Technique with all his might, so that his eyesight and hearing were to the extreme, and he could know the wind and grass within a radius of nearly five hundred meters around him.
Suddenly, a familiar footstep came into his ears, he followed the sound, only to see a figure out of a teahouse, walking into the distance, he carefully identified this back, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, it was Hu Jiehua.
Ruan Jingtian did not hesitate to use the stealth technique. Run Xuan Gang Jue to the best state and pounce on Hu Jiehua with all his might.
Hu Jiehua didn't expect to be recognized at all, and by the time he realized that something was wrong, Ruan Jingtian was already less than twenty meters away from him. Hu Jiehua is worthy of being the young head of the Hu family and an ace agent, with excellent reflexes, he quickly threw a high-energy bomb in the direction of Ruan Jingtian, and then turned around and ran wildly.
Ruan Jingtian had long been prepared for the attack of high-energy bombs, and now there was no restraint from Ning Jingwen, his body was strangely deformed, and he avoided the frontal touch of high-energy bombs. He understands the performance of such bombs. As long as the bomb is not hit, it will fly in the air and will not explode until it hits an object. This place is not a cramped and confined house, but an open outdoors, and the power of high-energy bombs is greatly reduced.
Ruan Jingtian dodged the high-energy bomb, did not slow down at all, and rushed towards Hu Jiehua like lightning.
Hu Jiehua didn't hear the expected explosion, his heart was surprised, and he unconsciously glanced back. Shocked that his eyes almost fell out, Ruan Jingtian's big hand was quickly grabbing his back.
Hu Jiehua calmed down, at such a close distance, he didn't dare to use high-energy bombs again. I had no choice but to pull out a short knife that was cold and cold, let out a loud shout, and turned to face Ruan Jingtian. He didn't believe it and went it alone. The person in front of him will be his opponent.
The high-energy bomb landed on the ground in the distance and exploded violently, and the air wave quickly spread to the place where Ruan Jingtian and Hu Jiehua were standing. However, at this time, this wave of qi is already at the end of the crossbow, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Ruan Jingtian had an extra long knife in his hand, which was his soft knife. The Meditation Sword almost distorted into intangibility, hovering above Ruan Jingtian's head. Facing the young head of the Hu family, Ruan Jingtian did not dare to be careless.
The figures of the two burst out, and the two knives were constantly intertwined. Ruan Jingtian didn't use the meditation sword, he wanted to fight hard with Hu Jiehua and try the depth of his skills.
The more Hu Jiehua fought, the more frightened he became, the other party's skills were no worse than him, his martial arts were superb, his body was abundant, and his strength was amazing. After only fighting less than 20 moves, Hu Jiehua felt that his body was gradually exhausted, which had never happened before.
Ruan Jingtian sneered in his heart and said secretly: "The surname Hu, if you have the courage to assassinate the country, you must be prepared to leave your life in the assassination country." Today next year will be your death day. He deliberately sold a flaw and waited for Hu Jiehua to take the bait.
Hu Jiehua suddenly saw Ruan Jingtian's footsteps floating, and he seemed to have no follow-up, he was overjoyed, rushed forward with a knife, and went straight to Ruan Jingtian's neck.
Ruan Jingtian was waiting for this opportunity, his upper body seemed to be disconnected from his lower body, and he could dodge Hu Jiehua's blade, and the meditation sword suddenly activated, piercing Hu Jiehua's chest forward.
At such a close distance, Hu Jiehua didn't have time to dodge at all, and seeing that the meditation sword was submerged in his chest, he suddenly had an epiphany and said, "Gong Xiaomu, you are so insidious!" After speaking, he threw himself to the ground.
In the process of Hu Jiehua's pounce, Ruan Jingtian took advantage of the situation to reach out and grope on Hu Jiehua's body, and some personal items immediately fell into Ruan Jingtian's arms.
From the discovery of Hu Jiehua to the killing of Hu Jiehua, this process only took about ten minutes. Ruan Jingtian withdrew the meditation sword and saw the disguised Hu Jiehua lying on the ground, his face full of unwillingness. With a movement in his heart, he waved his soft knife and quickly slashed dozens of knives on his face and body, basically unable to identify Hu Jiehua's face and identity.
At this time, the sound of a flare gun sounded in a two-story house, Ruan Jingtian understood that he had found Xiao Junyan, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran to the signal.
When Ruan Jingtian arrived at the second-story house, the third brother, the fifth brother and others held guns, holding Xiao Junyan, who was still unconscious, and looked at the dense people with loaded guns around them in horror, they really couldn't understand: why the young master did not come, but the gendarmes preemptively found this hidden place.
Ruan Jingtian looked at these people and shouted: "I am Gong Xiaomu, the captain of the gendarmerie, you put down the hostages, what conditions do you need, you say." ”
The third brother calmed down a little, thought for a long time, and then said: "Give us a car with a full tank of fuel, and after we take Minister Xiao out of the city, the self-heating meeting will release him." ”
"In this way, you let Minister Xiao go, I will be a hostage, and I will drive you out of the city, how about it?"
"No, don't play tricks. You're not going to drive out of town. ”
"You can point a gun at me, I'm also afraid of death, besides, if you take this unconscious person, the guards at the city gate won't let you out of the city, but I'm different, the guards at the city gate all know me, and when I go out of the city, no one will stop me. I am afraid that you will not be able to leave the city without me as your hostage. After Ruan Jingtian finished speaking, he took off the gun on his body, raised his hands, and walked towards the third brother.
"Don't come here, or I'm going to shoot. The fifth child was a little afraid of Ruan Jingtian's approach.
"Don't be afraid, you let Minister Xiao go, I will be your hostage, you see, I don't have a gun, I won't hurt you. Ruan Jingtian still walked forward slowly, already very close to these people.
The third brother and the fifth brother saw that Ruan Jingtian was indeed bare-handed, and their hearts were a lot more stable, and they thought that they really needed the identity of the captain of the gendarmerie to go out of the city, the third brother nodded at the old five, and when Ruan Jingtian approached, he grabbed Ruan Jingtian and said to the old five: "Let go of Minister Xiao, we originally arrested the captain of the gendarmerie, and this time we finally arrested the right person." ”
Lao Wuyi kicked Xiao Junyan away, put a gun on Ruan Jingtian's temple, and said, "Don't play tricks, quickly ask your subordinates to send a car." ”
Nguyen Ching Tien shouted to the gendarmes: "Hurry up and send Minister Xiao to the army hospital, remember, twelve people will personally escort you." Give me another car. ”
After the gendarmes heard the order, four people came up, put Xiao Junyan on a stretcher, and quickly sent it into a car, followed by a total of five cars in front and behind.
A gendarme, driving a car, stopped in front of the house, and then, without turning off the engine, got out of the car and ran to the ranks of the gendarmerie.
"Disperse, and I will accompany these brothers and sisters out of the city to take a walk. Then don't follow you. Ruan Jingtian said.
Gendarmes, look at me, I look at you, seeing Ruan Jingtian's fearless expression, he felt a little relieved in his heart, and then slowly retreated.
The third brother and the fifth brother held Ruan Jingtian at gunpoint, and a few other people escorted Ruan Jingtian slowly to the car with the door wide open. When he arrived at the door of the car, Ruan Jingtian violently used his soul technique, the third brother and the fifth brother were in a daze, Ruan Jingtian had already opened his bow left and right, confiscated the two pistols like lightning, flew up without shadows, and all the robbers around him flew into the air, and then fell to the ground with blood spurting from his mouth.
Ruan Jingtian rubbed his neck, stretched his legs, and shouted at the gendarmes: "What are you doing, come here and catch the robbers!"
The gendarmes reacted, and with a bang, they ran to the robbers on the ground, tied up all five men and women, and put them in the car that followed.
Ruan Jingtian got into his Ling Zhi car and said to Lao Huang, "Drive, go to the army hospital!", and he said to Yang Taipu: "Sue the brothers, pull the body of a robber accomplice on the back street to the gendarmerie." Let the brothers keep a good watch on these five suspects, and never travel again!" (To be continued......)
