Longcheng, Kong Family Compound.
In the bedroom, Kong Zhenghui received a call from Zhou Tonghui notifying him to evacuate. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Has the gathering place been determined? Which unit notified us?"
Zhou Tonghui immediately replied: "It was determined by the garrison, and then the notice was issued by the National Bureau of Investigation and Statistics."
"Okay." Kong Zhenghui nodded: "Where is the location?"
Zhou Tonghui told him: "The assembly is taking place near Sanhe Road, Zhanan District. There are troops stationed here for military control. You will see it when you arrive. You need to hurry up. The sooner you leave, the better."
Kong Zhenghui asked again: "What are you going to take? A plane or a motorcade?"
"I don't know either. I'm heading there too." Zhou Tonghui was not sure either: "They should all be retreating to Bana City, probably by plane. Okay, pack up quickly and come quickly!"
Kong Zhenghui nodded: "Okay, I understand, I'll go over now."
"Ok!"
The two hung up the phone. Kong Zhenghui hesitated for a moment, then turned to Kong Zhengqi and said, "Notify your family members to get in the car with your things immediately. Don't waste time."
"good!"
Kong Zhengqi immediately left the room to arrange for his family to evacuate.
Soon, the entire Kong family, about a hundred people, all got on the car and left the compound.
…
Twenty minutes later, more than a dozen cars arrived at Sanhe Road in Zhanan District.
At this time, the entire neighborhood was under military control, and a large number of soldiers blocked the streets.
When the convoy arrived at the intersection, Kong Zhenghui showed his identity and was immediately allowed to pass after verification.
Soon, the convoy arrived at the assembly point, but it was already crowded with people. The entire street was densely packed with people, and a rough estimate was that there were about six or seven hundred people.
Kong Zhenghui recognized some of them, including those from the Police Department and the tax agency, all of whom were middle-level administrative officials and their families.
These people lined up and stood in the blocks, carrying their luggage. They all looked anxious, and some even couldn't help crying.
Kong Zhengqi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also saw this scene and couldn't help but curse: "Fuck, are all these people going to evacuate together?"
Kong Zhenghui glanced at him with a gloomy face and said nothing.
He thought for a moment, pushed the door open and got out of the car. He walked towards a young battalion commander who was about 26 or 27 years old and asked directly, "Hello, I'm Kong Zhenghui from the Huatong Association. I want to ask, are all of us going together?"
The battalion commander glanced at him, then nodded and said, "Yes, and some people haven't arrived yet."
Kong Zhengqi also followed and followed. After hearing this, he immediately asked, "Does our family also need to go with so many people?"
The battalion commander said without thinking, "Yes."
After giving a hasty answer, the battalion commander turned his head and looked at the crowded crowd nearby, shouting at the top of his voice: "Hurry up, don't gather on the street! Hide in the buildings nearby, otherwise if the fighter planes in Area 1 see you and drop two bombs here, everyone will be finished. And you, don't get stuck there, stay over there, and come over when you hear your name being called!"
Watching the battalion commander directing the scene, Kong Zhenghui's face was gloomy. He suppressed his anger and asked again: "Excuse me, how do we evacuate? By helicopter or convoy?"
"Helicopter?!" The battalion commander turned his head to look at Kong Zhenghui and pointed at the messy crowd: "Look around, where are the helicopters for you to take now? So many people need to be evacuated, can helicopters alone accommodate them? Of course we need a convoy! Hurry up and take your family to the nearby buildings to wait. Don't gather here, it's very dangerous."
Kong Zhenghui frowned, clenched his fists and said nothing.
At this moment, not only him, but the entire Kong family felt very uncomfortable, because most of the six or seven hundred people gathered here were family members of middle-level cadres.
For Kong Zhenghui, given his family's status, under normal circumstances, he would never go with the main group. As a top executive, this privilege should be given.
Therefore, the Kong family felt extremely unbalanced and started to curse in the car. This was not to cause trouble. In terms of contribution, the Kong family, as a veteran of the association, had contributed money and effort before. Now it was too risky to evacuate with so many people.
Kong Zhengqi was also furious, and couldn't help cursing: "This is too much nonsense! Our Kong family has worked so hard for so many years, and we don't ask for any privileges. At least we should be treated equally at the same level, right? Brother, look at this whole compound, there is no one at the vice president level, right? Our family is the only one, right? Also, look at those car teams, are they going to Bana City on four wheels? By the time they get to Bana City, it will be the next month. What should we do if something happens on the way?"
Kong Zhenghui gritted his teeth, and after a long silence, he turned back to the car and said to the driver: "Let's leave here, we will go on our own."
"good."
The driver was also a member of the Kong family. He had been full of resentment for a long time. Upon hearing this, he immediately stepped on the accelerator and slowly left the assembly point with the convoy behind him.
The soldiers on the roadside were already too busy dealing with the matters here, so they did not stop the convoy when it left on its own.
Kong Zhenghui sat in the car with a gloomy face, not saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
Not long after driving out, the phone rang. Kong Zhenghui took it out and saw that it was Zhou Tonghui calling. After hesitating for a moment, he answered the call: "Hello?"
On the phone, Zhou Tonghui asked worriedly, "Zhenghui, have you arrived at the meeting place?"
Kong Zhenghui hesitated for a moment and replied, "We're here, but I plan to take people away alone."
Zhou Tonghui was stunned for a moment, and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Why are you going alone?"
Kong Zhenghui explained: "There are too many people here, about 700 to 800 people, and we don't know when we will leave. No one is helping us find a solution, so we have to find a solution ourselves."
Although it was said lightly, Zhou Tonghui could hear the emotion in his words and hurriedly comforted him: "Zhenghui, the situation in Longcheng is a bit chaotic now. I heard that even Wang Daolin's family members followed the large army to evacuate at the assembly point."
Kong Zhenghui smiled and said, "Hey, I know my own attributes. Let's not talk about me. How are things going over there?"
"I just got in the car." Zhou Tonghui deliberately added: "After all, I'm the only one here, and I don't have many family members here, so the process is faster. Why don't you come find me, I'll talk to the people here, and we can go together."
Kong Zhenghui declined politely: "No, you go first, I will think of a solution myself."
Zhou Tonghui said hesitantly: "Okay then... Call me if you have anything."
"Um."
The two ended the call. Kong Zhenghui thought for a long time, turned his head and said to Kong Zhengqi: "I'm not leaving. I'll give you an address. You can bring your family there."
Kong Zhengqi's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Okay, I understand!"
