After hearing Kong Zhenghui's request, the military intelligence officer on the phone was silent for a moment, and then said: "Director Kang is not at home now, I can't make the decision on this matter."
Kong Zhenghui said immediately: "Then report to him immediately. This line is very important! I need Wen Xiaorou to fish, and it's a big fish! It will take two days at most. If you are worried, your people can follow."
The other party thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then Director Kang and I will apply for it."
The two ended the call. Kong Zhenghui sat on the chair, lit a cigarette quietly, then opened the drawer and took out the documents inside.
On the document, it was written: "Itinerary Planning for the Longcheng Visiting Group".
…
More than ten hours passed in a flash, and by nine o'clock in the evening, there were very few people left in the headquarters building of the Security Association, and only a few offices had their lights on.
In the dim lounge, Liu Qi sat there with his collar open and red eyes, looking at his phone from time to time. The ashtray on the table in front of him was filled with cigarette butts, and there was an unopened bottle of white wine next to it.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
The phone suddenly rang, and Liu Qi's tense nerves were pricked. He immediately picked up the phone and asked, "Hello?"
A man's voice rang out from the other side: "Hello, I'm from the Qingyi Bureau's action team. President Kong asked me to inform you that Wen Xiaorou has arrived, and you can contact her now."
Liu Qi thought for a moment and asked, "When exactly did the person arrive?"
The other party paused for a moment and said, "We arrived at around four in the evening, but we have just been in contact with the troops escorting Wen Xiaorou and have just finished dealing with them."
Liu Qi nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, leaned heavily back in his chair, and began to think with a frown.
"bite!"
He sat there in a daze for less than five minutes before his phone rang again, waking Liu Qi from his thoughts. He picked up the phone and found that it was a voice message from a social software, which bounced three times in total.
"… "
Liu Qi couldn't help but fall into silence. He knew very well that this was a contact signal from Yu Mingyuan and he had to respond. He thought about it, changed to a new anonymous phone card, and dialed a number.
Soon, the call was connected and Yu Mingyuan's voice rang out: "Any news from your side?"
Liu Qi clenched his fists, thought for a long time, and said slowly: "The higher-ups have decided to use Wen Xiaorou, and she has been transferred here."
Yu Mingyuan paused and asked in a somewhat gloomy voice: "Then why don't you contact me directly?"
Liu Qi paused and said, "I just found out about it not long ago."
Yu Mingyuan was silent for a while, then he spoke again: "Let's meet."
Liu Qi said with some embarrassment: "I'm at work now, it's not easy to get away..."
"You figure it out yourself." Yu Mingyuan's tone was very firm: "In an hour, I'll give you an address, that's it."
After that, the phone was hung up.
Liu Qi threw his cell phone onto the sofa beside him, poked his face hard with his hand, and stared at the bottle of white wine on the table with empty eyes.
“Bang!”
He suddenly reached out his hand, twisted the bottle cap open, and gulped down three big gulps. The spiciness made him cry.
"Bang!"
Liu Qi put the bottle heavily on the table, stood up with a flushed face, and walked out of the lounge.
After standing in the corridor, he turned his head and looked around. Seeing that the corridor was dark and there were not many people, he quickly left.
…
In the office of the president of the Weian Association, the lights inside are dim and the stars are twinkling outside.
Kong Zhenghui was lying on the bed in the rest room inside the office, sleeping soundly. He hadn't slept for nearly twenty hours, relying on coffee to keep him awake, and his body was extremely tired.
“Pah pah pah…”
Immediately afterwards, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside, approaching from far away, and finally stopped at the door.
“Squeak—”
After a while, the door outside was gently pushed open, making a friction noise, and a figure walked in through the crack in the door.
Kong Zhenghui was awakened instantly. He looked through the glass door at the shadow on the ground elongated by the corridor lights, and subconsciously reached under his pillow.
“Pah pah pah…”
The footsteps passed through the hall outside, getting closer and closer. Kong Zhenghui immediately sat up straight, turned on the light beside him with one hand, and tightly grasped the pistol with the other hand, pointing it at the other party and asked sternly: "Who!"
"Yes... it's me..."
Hearing this voice, Kong Zhenghui's sight gradually became clear. It was Liu Qi. But he still did not put down the gun. Instead, he frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Liu Qi looked at him with a flushed face and a strong smell of alcohol. He paused for a long time and suddenly fell to his knees with a thud.
Then, he trembled a little and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Kong... I... I was captured..."
Hearing this, Kong Zhenghui was stunned for a moment and looked at the other party in astonishment.
Liu Qi trembled: "Brother Kong, I am a loser! I was actually captured by Yu Mingyuan during the two days I disappeared! He threatened me with my wife and children and asked me to cooperate with him to rescue Wen Xiaorou and collect intelligence for him! I thought about it for a long time, but I still can't do this! You and I are completely tied together..."
As he spoke, Liu Qi covered his face and said in an urgent tone: "If you lose your wife, you can get another one. If you lose your daughter, you can still have another one. But if I choose to do both, I will definitely... definitely die... By then, everything will be over... Brother Kong, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die..."
Kong Zhenghui's heart skipped a beat, and after a long pause, he stared at Liu Qi and asked, "What do you mean? Are they going to do anything to Wen Xiaorou tonight?"
"No." Liu Qi shook his head and said hurriedly: "Yu Mingyuan just sent me a message and asked me to meet him."
Kong Zhenghui gritted his teeth, looked at him and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
"Yu Mingyuan told me that he has people here!" Liu Qi blushed and said with a little rapid breathing: "There are too many ghosts here now... If I tell them first and arrange the follow-up plan, they will definitely know it... Brother Kong, I'm scared. I don't know where a bullet will suddenly fly and hit my head! I have no choice but to use the trick first and let Wen Xiaorou come over to test the other party. Now that Wen Xiaorou is here, Yu Mingyuan must have known about it in advance, otherwise he would not have asked me to meet! Therefore, whoever has touched Wen Xiaorou must be a ghost!"
As he spoke, Liu Qi crawled forward two steps, grabbed Kong Zhenghui's thigh and said, "Brother Kong, it's not too late for me to tell you now! We can set a trap in reverse and definitely catch the big fish Yu Mingyuan! This is definitely a great achievement! His value is much greater than Zhou Tonghui and Wen Xiaorou!"
Hearing this, Kong Zhenghui had already dispelled his suspicion of Liu Qi... Because he knew this man too well. He was an extremely selfish guy who could even abandon his wife and children for his own life...
Moreover, he confessed to himself when Wen Xiaorou hadn't taken any action yet, which most likely proved that he was telling the truth.
Because Wen Xiaorou was still under layers of protection at this time, and no one could save her.
Kong Zhenghui slowly put down his gun and sat on the bed to think carefully about the second half of Liu Qi's words. Because he and Yu Mingyuan had worked together for more than ten years, they had a very large number of common interpersonal relationships, so it was not surprising that someone on his side was turned against him.
However, at this moment, he was still a little hesitant, wondering whether he should continue along this line... and catch Yu Mingyuan...
After all, he knew clearly what kind of outcome Yu Mingyuan would face if this matter succeeded... Death for sure!
Kong Zhenghui fell silent. Liu Qi knelt beside him, sweating and trembling as he looked at him, not daring to make a sound to disturb him.
After thinking for a long time, Kong Zhenghui turned his head to look at Liu Qi and asked, "When did Yu Mingyuan ask you to meet?"
Liu Qi hurriedly checked his watch, raised his head and said, "It was originally an hour later, but now there is still half an hour left. He will send me an address."
Kong Zhenghui nodded, took out a mobile phone from under the pillow and dialed a number.
Soon, the call was connected and Kong Zhengqi's voice rang out: "Hello, what's wrong, brother?"
Kong Zhenghui asked directly: "Besides you, who else knows about picking up Wen Xiaorou?"
Kong Zhengqi thought for a moment and said, "There's no one else. It's just me, the eight people in the action team, and the reception desk. No one else knows."
Kong Zhenghui thought for a moment and instructed: "The people you bring with you now must be direct descendants. Control all those who dealt with Wen Xiaorou today."
Kong Zhengqi hesitated: "Wouldn't it be a bit hasty to do it now? Everyone is back and everyone has dispersed."
"The situation is urgent, you must go and control them immediately!" Kong Zhenghui said in a very serious tone: "Don't call them, just go and control them for me!"
"Okay, I understand." Kong Zhengqi no longer hesitated.
"One more thing!" Kong Zhenghui added, "Anyone who goes out with you to do business must report over the phone and be strictly searched. No word can leak out!"
"clear!"
After they hung up the phone, Kong Zhenghui looked at Liu Qi who was kneeling in front of him and said to him, "Just wait here for Yu Mingyuan's call!"
Liu Qi nodded immediately: "Okay..."
…
District 1, a certain street.
In the dark alley, Yu Mingyuan, wearing a windbreaker and holding a cigarette in his mouth, said to the phone: "Don't move, wait a little longer..."
