In the hospital corridor, the guard took the note and handed it to Gu Baishun.
While looking at the note, Gu Baishun asked the little girl, "What kind of uncle gave you the note?"
The little girl bit her finger, thought for a moment and said, "It was an uncle wearing a mask and a cap... He told me to come to you and gave me a gift!"
Hearing this, Gu Baishun turned his head and gave Daxiong a wink.
Big Bear nodded, picked up the little girl, and asked with a smile: "Shall we go to the place where you met the uncle? I can also give you a gift!"
"Okay." The little girl said happily, "Over there, let's go over there!"
Big Bear, accompanied by two guards, carried the little girl along the corridor to the other side.
Gu Baishun picked up the note and glanced at it, only to find that it contained a satellite phone number and nothing else. He frowned, put the note in his pocket, and prepared to take his men back to the General Administration Bureau.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
Just as I was about to leave, the phone rang.
Gu Baishun took out his cell phone and glanced at the caller ID. He found that it was Li Yuan calling. After a pause, he answered the call: "Hello? Secretary Li?"
Li Yuan asked with some concern on the phone: "My leader asked me to ask you, how are you doing? Are you okay? Are you seriously injured?"
Gu Baishun said calmly, "No problem. I'm fine. I just suffered a minor injury."
Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine. The leaders are worried about you, but the city is very chaotic and it's not very convenient to travel now."
Gu Baishun replied: "It's okay, I understand."
Li Yuan asked again: "How is your security force? Do you need us to send you more people?"
Gu Baishun waved his hand and said, "No need. It was done by two non-staff members. They don't have any background. We are still continuing the investigation."
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, will you come over later?"
Gu Baishun thought for a moment and said, "I'll forget about it tonight. I'll go over tomorrow and we'll report together then."
"Okay, then you should be careful and call me if you need anything."
"good."
The two ended the call, and Gu Baishun left the hospital with a blank expression.
…
Late at night, Longcheng Comprehensive Bureau.
Gu Baishun returned to his office alone, sat on the chair, thought for a long time, and finally took out the note and dialed the number written on it.
"… "
After a long time, the call was connected, but no one spoke on the phone and it was very quiet.
Gu Baishun took the phone and broke the silence first: "Talk?"
Finally, a man's voice came from the microphone: "Who are you?"
"Isn't that the number you gave me?" Gu Bai said straight to the point: "At this point, is it any use pretending to be mysterious? Director Kang?"
There was silence on the other side for a while, and soon, Kang Dinghuang's voice rang out: "Haha, how did you know it was me who was looking for you?"
Gu Baishun walked to the window, looking at the crowd that continued to protest at the main gate, and also said with a smile: "You have done such a big thing in Longcheng, aren't you waiting for this day? First find someone to ambush me on the road, and call me when my heart is most vulnerable. The routine is very old, Director Kang."
Kang Dinghuang said calmly: "If I want to touch you, I will never use such despicable means. Haha, after all, we are also a military intelligence unit."
Gu Baishun was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I guess there is no one around you right now, so let's be direct." Kang Dinghuang thought for a moment and said bluntly: "You are inside, I am outside, let's work together to end this war. In this way, no one will have to suffer. Most importantly, your heart will be relieved."
Gu Baishun asked: "What am I freed from?"
Kang Dinghuang asked back: "What do you think? Do you really want to help the enemy who killed your father to ascend the throne? What do you want?"
Gu Baishun frowned and said nothing.
Kang Dinghuang added, "You are right. All the situations that were pushed towards you were led by me. But have you ever thought about why those people responded? Can they only guess that I was the one who planned it? In fact, in their eyes, you have never been one of them! Remember my words, suppose one day, Longcheng can really be unified. To Su Tianyu, you are a chamber pot, and he will kick you away without hesitation! He lets you come up because you can be a knife in his hand without recognizing any relatives, that's all! But you are capable and worthy of being the knife holder."
Gu Baishun held the phone and remained silent.
Kang Dinghuang struck while the iron was hot and continued, "As a son, it is understandable if you don't have the ability to take revenge. People living in this world will always encounter many things that they are powerless to do. But now you want to use your own abilities to help the enemy who killed your father realize his wish. Aren't you a little too great?"
Gu Baishun was silent for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Are you brainwashing me?"
Kang Dinghuang smiled and said, "You are a smart person, no one can brainwash you. You should also know that I have spent so much effort to set up such a situation just to have a smooth conversation with you today. Because at this moment, you can understand your current situation and know your position in Lao Li's team. I will always keep this phone open to you, and I will give you time to consider. And I tell you, Longcheng will definitely not be defended. If you don't believe me, we can wait and see. Gu Baishun, the power in your hands can prevent many people from dying, which is a matter of merit. Okay, that's it, you think about it carefully."
After the call ended, Gu Baishun frowned and looked out the window, feeling extremely complicated. In his mind, Kang Dinghuang's words were repeated over and over again, just like a repeater.
Gu Baishun rubbed his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.
…
At around two o'clock in the morning, Gu Baishun left the Bureau of General Information secretly without notifying anyone and taking only two close intelligence officers with him. He changed into casual clothes, got in an inconspicuous car, and left.
About an hour later, Gu Baishun walked into a dim basement, slowly pushed open a heavy iron door in front of him, and walked in.
Behind the iron door was a small, dirty and messy room, with a lot of leftover food and a lot of garbage on the ground.
A dirty young man was lying on a wooden bed, with disheveled hair, red eyes, and a foul odor. He had handcuffs on his hands, a wound on his chest, and a bandage. He looked very weak.
Gu Baishun lowered his head and stared at the young man in a daze.
The young man slowly raised his head, staring at Gu Baishun with a pair of bloodshot eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Now... it's finally time to kill me, right?"
Under the dim light, the young man's appearance became clear. He was none other than Yu Mingyuan who had disappeared before.
