The setting sun sinks into the western clouds, dyeing the sky red.
Birds flew across the sunset and cried out as they flew away. Thick black smoke rose into the sky from the highway below. Cars were speeding towards the end of the road in the distance. When they saw the smoke rising, they gradually slowed down. People getting out of the cars wore sunglasses and looked around vigilantly, or walked forward in silence.
The wind blew over the mountains. Tang Liren took off his sunglasses, squatted down, picked up the broken pieces of window glass and looked at them in his hand. Then he looked at the two cars in front of him that were still on fire and had crashed into the guardrail on the side of the road. The entire car body was deformed and one side was covered with bullet holes.
"This is well prepared."
The devastation made Tang Liren throw down the glass fragments. Yesterday, he received a message from Z9, saying that they had found out about the traitor who stole the redstone. However, this morning, he received a message that several members of Z9 who were tracking down the traitor were attacked. When he rushed here, he saw this scene.
Fortunately, the Z9 guys were experienced and only suffered varying degrees of injuries, and were quickly taken away for treatment by the reinforcements that arrived.
As Tang Liren murmured, a pair of leather shoes stepped on the debris all over the ground and walked towards two cars that were still on fire. Gao Tianqiu's fingertips touched the bullet holes on the car doors.
"The injured Z9 members should know who the other party is. There is no way anyone in China would dare to do this, and there is no such organization."
Obviously, he also agreed with Tang Liren's point of view. Although the Commuter Bureau specifically targets some strange phenomena and special groups of people, few people in the country know about it, and it has some rights to do things at its own convenience. Those wealthy families who know the existence of the Commuter Bureau cannot oppose it. Firstly, opposing the country is seeking death. Secondly, who can guarantee that they will not encounter some strange things and need the help of the Commuter Bureau
People from wealthy families are never that stupid.
"The only possibility is outside the country. Let's go check on the four people who were attacked by Z9."
Z9 was in charge of the aftermath here, and Tang Liren didn't need to tell anyone to do anything. He called Gao Tianqiu and took a U-turn to a nearby town, where a single room was set up in the township hospital. The two of them came over here. The four people who had been attacked had already been bandaged and treated, and were about to be transferred to the nearest large city hospital for further treatment.
In the sealed emergency room, Tang Liren ordered his men to close the door. Looking at the four men who were bandaging their arms, heads, chests and abdomens, his face looked a little grim. It must be quite difficult to injure the Z9 men like this.
"Did they speak? Were they Chinese or people from abroad?"
"No, they drove straight into us from the opposite side of the road..."
One of the four people spoke, and a younger man next to him suddenly interrupted and continued: "Report, I was closest to the other party, and I undoubtedly heard him say something in the Japanese language when I was dodging."
"Island language?"
Tang Liren was stunned for a moment and looked at Gao Tianqiu beside him. It was true that the two countries had a deep hatred, but it was too rampant to come and steal things so blatantly!
And it is quite suspicious.
Ding ding…
The two of them left the ward. In the corridor, Tang Liren's communicator suddenly rang. He held down the earphone and listened for a while. His frown relaxed and he said, "I'll be right there." Then he hung up the phone and turned his head to look at Gao Tianqiu.
"Z9 has already captured the people. The Japanese wanted to leave by water, but they were ambushed by the people from the Huanmen under Z9. Now they are all under control. Wait for us to go over and capture them."
“So amazing?”
"The entire lower reaches of the Yangtze River are owned by the Huan family. The leader of the ship, Yin Jiuling, is an old sailor who knows all the routes. The accents of the islanders were no match for him, and they were all taken down in one fell swoop."
The two walked as they got into the car. It was still early. It was only a hundred miles from here to Chongbin City in Linjiang. It would take about half an hour to get there by highway. If they went a little faster, they could probably arrive before noon.
Soon, the car passed through the town and drove onto the highway, speeding southward. The scenery outside the window changed, including the Golden Eagle Bridge connecting the north and south banks and Jiaohe City in the distance. The two were too lazy to even take a look, and silently thought about the islanders.
After leaving the bridge, the person who picked up the Z9 that was waiting for them was a petite girl, codenamed Dog Girl. She relied on her keen sense of smell and perception like a wild animal to track the enemy. Perhaps she was cheerful and greedy. She sat in the passenger seat with a bag of snacks and chattered non-stop about those islanders.
"... Tang... Director Tang, let me tell you, those Japanese people are so stupid, they thought they could get away with it just by knowing a few words in dialect. Oh, they didn't have any redstone on them, and they even argued that they had never stolen it, but they received a text message out of nowhere, asking them to check their mailbox, and then... they received a video of cave paintings, and information about a person named Lu Liangsheng."
There were a few crackling and banging sounds.
The little mouth over there stopped chewing, the girl codenamed Dog Girl stopped eating, her mouth full of potato chip crumbs suddenly revealed a smile, holding the snack bag, she turned sideways and looked at the two people in the back seat.
"Then... Is that Lu Liangsheng a very important person in Z6? Is he good-looking?"
"The secret of Z6."
Gao Tianqiu glanced at the director with his eyes closed, frowned and scolded him, causing the girl to pout and sit back up straight, supporting her chin with her hand and looking at the suburban scenery passing by outside the car window.
The red lips stained with snack residue hummed: "It must not look good, and it's an antique, but it's important, right?"
The back seat of the car was quiet. Gao Tianqiu lowered his voice and looked to the side.
"Director?"
Tang Liren folded his hands on his legs and slowly opened his tightly closed eyes. "What those Japanese people said is true. They are just pawns to attract our attention. The red stone has been quietly moved away. The people who attacked Z9 were also lured here by those Japanese people. They ran away without killing anyone. This explains everything."
"The person who played tricks on us and the islanders is trying to track down the mole?"
"Hmm... He's hiding very well. I've checked everyone and can't find any clues. This person is either very good at disguising himself, or he's deceived himself with his disguise."
Tang Liren rubbed his brows, changed his sitting position, and stared at the girl who was humming a song while biting snacks in the passenger seat, his voice very low.
"Maybe it's related to Z9..."
The hoarse voice murmured, and the eyes looked out the window. The foothills reflected in front of the eyes gradually turned a little yellow, "… The end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the cold wind has risen first. Haha!"
Know… Know… Know…
Early autumn has arrived, and the cicadas are still chirping in the mountains and woods. Soon, a speeding black car turned onto another road and headed for the dock outside Chongbin City. When the two got out of the car, a red car was just leaving. A man in a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses turned his head and looked at Tang Liren coldly through the window. He stepped on the engine, accelerated and sped away, disappearing at the dock in the blink of an eye.
Watching the disappearing taillights of the car, Tang Liren quietly stretched out his finger and tapped the back of Gao Tianqiu's hand, hinting: This matter is a bit complicated, go back and ask the ancestors for help.
The director withdrew his pointing finger imperceptibly, and a smile suddenly broke out on his face. He walked towards a man wearing iron gloves where the ships were docked at the pier.
"Haha... Director Dongfang, long time no see."
"Director Tang has been studying hard in the mountains all day long. It's hard for me to meet him."
"It just so happens that the institute still has some unfinished research to do, so let's hand over those Japanese people to us first."
"nature."
…
Gao Tianqiu looked at Director Tang who was talking to someone in the distance, turned around, reached into his trouser pocket, touched his cell phone, looked away, and his fingertips quickly pressed a newly registered number and dialed.
