Hao Jian left for Yuncheng on the second day of his reunion with Shi Gongzhui, but the apartment she lived in was still reserved for her, and Lian Ruming simply stayed there and didn't move back.
She remembered that Shi Gongtai mentioned the whereabouts of Peng Mao and Xin Ting, so when she had time, she went to the management office to use the relative tracing system to find people. No matter if they came back to find her and Hao Jian, she had to confirm them recent situation.
Lian Runing already knew the whereabouts of Peng Mao and Xin Ting, and originally planned to contact them directly through the family tracing system, but they hadn't been found yet, but someone over there found her and asked her, "Who are you and why are you looking for Peng? Mao and Xin Ting?"
Although Lian Runing used the family tracing system for the first time, she also noticed the abnormality. She carefully reported her identity, and then asked, "May I ask what happened to them?"
They seemed to be checking her identity, and after confirming that she was an assistant in the science center and that she was friends with Peng Mao and Xin Ting, they said, "Last night, the Shawan Refuge received information from the team leader Chen Xiong who was out on a mission. The report stated that several survivors were encountered at the gas storage and distribution station. Due to the negligence of the staff at the Shawan Refuge, it was not found that Ding Gunian and Shen Fu, who are currently wanted and searched for, were not found among those people.”
Lian Ru Ning mentioned it in her heart, only to hear the other side continue to say, "After two o'clock in the morning, news came from the storage and distribution station again that something happened there..."
Although there was so much talk about Peng Mao and Xin Ting, Lian Runing intuition that Peng Mao and Xin Ting were in that team, because Shi Gongzhui said that Peng Mao and Xin Ting were taken over there. The asylum management office hired someone to do the work.
According to the explanation of the other party, Peng Mao and Xin Ting met Ding Gu Nian and his group, and Ding Gu Nian is currently being wanted by the government. Many, coupled with various complicated reasons, led to the escort who went out to perform the mission and did not receive the news in time.
When they met Ding Gu Nian's team and reported it, because of the negligence of the staff, they didn't think about their wanted status.
As a result, at around two in the morning, Peng Mao discovered that his younger brother Peng Sheng had been killed. He told Xin Ting that Ding Gu Nian must have killed him, because Peng Sheng overheard the conversation between Ding Gu Nian and Shen Fu and knew their secret, so He was killed by Ding Gu Nian.
When Peng Mao and the team leader and others went to find Ding Gunian, they found a group of criminals with guns who had sneaked in. The two sides immediately launched a fierce gun-battle.
Although the other guards heard the sound of gunfire and rushed to support, Peng Mao was still taken away by Ding Gu Nian, and Xin Ting was also shot. Although he missed the key point, his life characteristics stabilized after treatment. , but it will take at least a month or two to recover.
The official learned from Xin Ting that Peng Mao did not forgive Peng Sheng, so Peng Sheng did not tell Peng Mao the secret of Ding Gu Nian, but Ding Gu Nian thought that Peng Mao knew, so he took him away.
"Under normal circumstances, shouldn't they kill people? Why did the other party choose to take people away?" Lian Runing asked.
Her doubts are also the doubts of many people, and the other party replied: "We also have the same doubts, and this matter is more sensitive, so I want to know about it from you."
Lian Runing suddenly guessed something: Peng Sheng was killed and silenced, and no one would care about this except Peng Mao. But when Peng Mao was held hostage, someone would still care about him—she and Hao Jian.
Others don't know their relationship with Peng Mao, but Ding Gu Nian and Shen Fu know that they went to risk alone to take Peng Mao away, so maybe in their opinion, they care about Peng Mao very much.
The encounter in Focheng let them know that she and Hao Jian had an official background, so they wanted to use Peng Mao as a bargaining chip. Although they were not sure whether Hao Jian would take risks for Peng Mao, it was worth a try.
Although I don't know where Shen Fu and Ding Gu Nian came from to believe that Hao Jian would do things that would be detrimental to their own or the official's interests for Peng Mao, their retreat must be "no fault" behind Shen Fu.
"Wugui" is not a reasonable organization. Once Peng Mao has no use value, it will inevitably become one of the many people they slaughtered.
Lian Runing thought about it and asked tentatively, "Why is Ding Gu Nian wanted?"
The other party said: "Ding Gu Nian's group murdered and robbed, and committed all kinds of crimes. Although the order is still being maintained, it does not mean that the law is a decoration. They must be arrested and brought to justice."
Lian Runing didn't know whether the other party really didn't know the real reason why Ding Gu Nian was wanted, or whether he just couldn't tell her. He thought that Ding Gunian's secret was his "apostle" identity and secret, but it was a secret hidden by the official special department. She could not reveal it unless she could confirm the identity of the other party.
"If Ah Jian was here, I would definitely be able to come up with a way." Lian Runing realized for the first time the inadequacy of her abilities.
However, Hao Jian also said that her ability is not here, her ability can benefit more people, so she quickly enlightened herself without leaving any knots in her heart.
Although she couldn't think of a way to save Peng Mao for the time being, she was still very concerned about Xin Ting's physical condition, so she asked Lian Qingmiao to take a day off, and then found "Brother Guard" to send her to the medical institution in Shawan District to find Xin Ting ting.
Xin Ting was shot in her lower abdomen. Although she was always afraid of pain and did not dare to make large movements, she sat up happily when she saw Lian Ruling, and she grinned and cried.
Lian Runing looked at her distressedly: "Does it hurt?"
Xin Ting wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "It doesn't hurt much, but I cried when I saw you were very happy."
"You still can't get rid of your cry." Lian Runing sighed, but she didn't mean to ridicule at all. After all, she had heard that Xin Ting was nicknamed "The Crying Harvester" at the Shawan Refuge—because her weapon was a modified harvester, and the effect was as amazing as a chainsaw, and because she was afraid of zombies, but She has no mercy in picking up zombies, so people gave her such a nickname.
Xin Ting felt warm. She wanted to ask about her current situation, and she wanted to talk about Peng Mao. Many words were piled up in her mind, so she didn't know where to start.
However, Lian Runing came for Peng Mao's affairs. She didn't talk much about her and Hao Jian's affairs. She only mentioned it a little to reassure Xin Ting.
Xin Ting congratulated her on finding her family, thinking of her relatives and Peng Mao, she couldn't help but feel sad. It's just that this time she was very restrained, just secretly wiped her tears, and didn't cry anymore.
"What's wrong with Peng Mao?" Seeing that she was about to cry again, Lian Runing quickly changed the subject.
From Xin Ting's mouth, she knew in more detail:
Peng Sheng's nature is a dog's leg and a wall, and he will follow whichever side is beneficial to him. When he found out that he would not have a good life with Ding Gu Nian, he thought of betraying Ding Gu Nian, but he did not expect that his thoughts would be discovered, so he was killed by the angry Ding Gu Nian.
Xin Ting didn't know what secret Peng Sheng knew about Ding Gu Nian, and she didn't know whether Peng Mao knew it. She only knew that Ding Gu Nian didn't have a gun originally, so their appearance didn't attract the attention of the guards. But when he approached Peng Mao, he didn't know where he pulled out a pistol. Neither Peng Mao nor the guards were prepared. It was because of this that Peng Mao was taken away.
After listening to Lian Runing, her brows were deeply wrinkled, and then she said, "Maybe it's because of me and Hao Jian that he will be taken away."
Xin Ting was not surprised. She had guessed that Hao Jian and Lian Runing's current identities might not be something that ordinary people like them could inquire about.
She said, "But he survived because of you."
She knew that if it wasn't for this reason, Peng Mao, like Peng Sheng, would have been killed long ago.
Lian Runing didn't say anything, but instructed: "You take good care of your injury, I will try my best to find a way to Peng Mao, I hope he is a good person."
"You don't owe us anything, so you are willing to find a way to save him. That's the blessing he got from making you as a friend. Even if you don't do anything, no one can blame you." Xin Ting said.
She has been wandering for so many days without anyone to protect her, and she can understand many things that she didn't understand before. No one owes anyone in the world, and she can't blame others, everything is caused by her own cause and effect.

Lian Runing left after visiting Xin Ting, and not long after, someone from the management office contacted her and said that someone wanted to see her. She went there and saw that it was a burly middle-aged man with a serious face and sharp eyes.
As soon as the other party opened his mouth, he went straight to the point: "I'm Hao Jian's boss. I'm here to find out about Ding Gu Nian. As for why I'm looking for you, I think you should be looking for me."
"..." Lian Runing was a little sluggish, she didn't expect Hao Jian's boss to be such a self-talking person.
She never revealed a word to Hao Jian's boss, how did he know
"I think based on the importance of you in Hao Jian's heart, she should not hide things like her identity and 'apostle' from you... So after you know that your friend was kidnapped by Ding Gu Nian, you may not be able to You can sit still, you went to find Xin Ting in Shawan at such a sensitive time, just to let me know of your existence, so I can take the initiative to contact you, right?"
"..." Lian Runing found out why the "Special Response Team" approached Hao Jian, because the chiefs of this department are all as virtuous as Hao Jian.
However, it is undeniable that one of the reasons she went to Xin Ting was indeed to attract the attention of the special department. I didn't expect the other party to know her intention so quickly and come to her.
"Come on, I'm busy, and I don't have time to be here for too long."
Lian Runing swallowed back to inquire about Hao Jian's current situation, and said, "Since the commander is so powerful, then we should know that Ding Gunian has entangled us in the Buddha City, and this time Peng Mao is being held hostage, I have to doubt Ding Gunian's purpose. It's because he wants to use Peng Mao to threaten Hao Jian."
"Ding Gu Nian is an apostle, and the military advisor Shen Fu around him should be a 'Wugui' person, so their current position should be in one of the 'Wugui' lair. And Shen Fu should call on the backbone members of 'Wu Jiao' Ding Gunian's identity was revealed, and as a result, Ding Gunian had two ends, either he was absorbed by Wujiu and strengthened his team, or he opposed joining and was killed."
Wen Shanggao added: "No matter what, if Peng Mao falls into their hands, he would either rather die than give in, or submit to them, shake out your affairs, and be used by Wugui."
When Lian Runing mentioned it in her mind, she also thought of this possibility, but she didn't want to figure out the good and evil of human nature, and she didn't want to think about whether Peng Mao would shake out the relevant information about her and Hao Jian.
Wen Shanggao said: "Now that we have launched operations, for your safety, these days, you should concentrate on your own business!"
"Peng Mao he..."
Wen Shanggao said ruthlessly: "Once it is found that he will pose a threat of information leakage to us, it will be directly obliterated."
Before leaving, Wen Shanggao gave her an IP address, saying that if she wanted to contact her for anything important in the future, she could use the official network to log in to this address, and the password was the one used by Hao Jian.
After he left, Lian Runing thought about it a lot.
Hao Jian was not wrong in speculating that Shen Fu should be a "blameless" person. He may have discovered the secret of Ding Gu Nian by lurking beside Ding Gu Nian.
Whether he wants to use Ding Gu Nian to hide his identity, or to gain Ding Gu Nian's trust, so that he can be absorbed into "Wugui" and let Ding Gu Nian use his ability to serve "Wugui", his purpose is all has been reached.
If he set his sights on her and Hao Jian, with his deep scheming, he might not know how many conspiracies against them would be.
When Peng Mao separated from them, Hao Jian was only a non-staff member who did not enter the core of the "special response team", so Peng Mao didn't know many secrets. But Lian Runing was still worried that Peng Mao would tell the details of his relationship with Hao Jian, and that would be fatal to Hao Jian.
Between Peng Mao and Hao Jian, of course, she would choose Hao Jian, but the problem was that she couldn't be in a mess because of this. The more she did at this time, the easier it would be for Hao Jian's secrets to be exposed.
Thinking of this, she calmed herself down. Except for occasionally asking about Xin Ting's recovery and Peng Mao's life and death, she didn't do anything extra.
