At the border.
Su Tianyu, Yu Mingyuan, Su Tiannan, and two garrison officers were all abducted and taken away by Xue Baolai's men.
A young man on the high-powered off-road vehicle reminded Xue Baolai: "The number of people is wrong."
"How many are missing?" Xue Baolai asked.
"Gui Mengxiong's people called us before and said that there were seven people on the bus, and now they are missing one man and one woman." The young man replied.
"Haha, running away in different directions? What's the point?!" Xue Baolai licked his lips and ordered with a gun on his shoulder: "Let the others continue searching in this area and dig out those two people for me."
"Yes!" the young man nodded.
Xue Baolai sat in the car, picked up his cell phone, and dialed his father's number: "Hello? Dad!"
"How about it?"
"I caught him and am taking him back now." Xue Baolai said with some pride: "I said before that we must be prepared. They can't do it at all."
"Don't be cocky!" Xue Ping'an frowned and asked, "Are all the people here?!"
"Two insignificant characters are missing, but they can't run far. I will definitely stop them." Xue Baolai bared his teeth and replied, "You contact Jing Yan. I'll go back and wait for the news."
"Okay, that's it." Xue Ping'an hung up the phone.
Xue Baolai sat on the SUV, tilted his neck and shouted, "It's done, let's call it a day!"
…
It was a little after three in the morning.
In the main room of the Tai family villa complex in Hanoi City, Old Triangle, the clan leader Tai Zhengkang and several core members of the family are communicating with the people of the Pu faction's political assistant and the people of the Southwest Theater Command of the China Region.
Here we need to introduce the current political situation in the Old Triangle. In the first forty years of the new era, this was a war-torn, poor and backward region with many warlords and private armed forces.
In that era, a national hero emerged from the Old Triangle. He was the founder and spiritual leader of the Pu faction. His nickname was Pu the Blind.
At that time, the old triangle was very poor and had a poor geographical location. It was adjacent to the Fifth District and the unplanned area in the southwest of the Chinese District, and resources were very scarce. The inland was in turmoil and production capacity was low, so in order to lead the nation and the government out of the predicament, Pu Xiazi initially turned to the neighboring Fifth District.
However, as the Chinese District gradually rose, District Five was afraid that the giant dragon would wake up too quickly, so it could only adopt the political strategy of attacking nearby and making friends with distant countries, oppressing the inland Chinese District militarily on the border. The Pu faction's political assistants, led by the Blind Pu, played the role of military swords.
20 years after the New Era, the Hua District and the Old Triangle had several Southwest and Northwest Wars, and the Pu faction suffered heavy losses. Pu Xiazi also realized that the Fifth District was using his troops as cannon fodder. In addition, war broke out within the Old Triangle at that time, so Pu Xiazi was won over by the then King of Chuanfu and switched to the Hua District, and has never betrayed since then.
Around 40 years later, the Chinese region was unified and the Old Triangle took off completely. Because the leaders of the Chinese region wanted to strategically defend the Fifth Region and to thank the neighbor, the Pu family government, after the Little Freeze, they sent 700,000 infrastructure workers to the Old Triangle to help them rebuild their homes.
During this period, the Chinese district had signed various thirty-year and fifty-year strategic cooperation agreements with the Pu faction's political assistants in the old triangle on many occasions, formally forming an iron alliance that could not be broken.
The Tai family was the family that had experienced all the turmoil in the Old Triangle. They supported the Pu faction from the very beginning, and later donated money and materials in the Old Triangle when the Chinese region was fighting overseas. They even organized workers to help the Chinese Expeditionary Force build ports, etc.
Therefore, when the world was at peace, families like the Tai family would completely take off. They were full of meritorious service, and many of their descendants became political assistants of the Pu family. Moreover, the future ruler of the family also married the granddaughter of the blind Pu family, completing the marriage.
This is why the Tai family has so many privileges and prestige in the Old Triangle.
…
In the spacious and bright living room, Tai Zhengkang, the head of the Tai family, said very politely to the Pu faction's political assistant and the people from the Southwest Theater Command of the Chinese Region: "Xiao Gui's accident was indeed too sudden. I originally wanted to go to Shuangniu Island tomorrow to talk to him about the exhibition."
The people of the Pu faction drank tea and said nothing.
In the VIP seat, a middle-aged man in his fifties, with his hands folded, replied softly: "The case needs to be investigated, but the exhibition must also go on. Mr. Tai, I came here to ask you, what is your attitude now?"
Tai Zhengkang replied without hesitation: "Of course, the Gui family will be the main one! Let them send someone to continue to host the exhibition."
The middle-aged man in his fifties looked at Tai Zhengkang sharply, and the latter added calmly: "Mr. Long, the Gui family has always been in charge of the overall situation. It is safer to let them do it."
The middle-aged man in his fifties is the Xiao Qinglong mentioned by Gui Mengjun’s father. He is the behind-the-scenes staff of the Southwest Theater Command in the China Region.
Xiao Qinglong paused for a while, sighed and replied: "Something happened to the Gui family. I am afraid that their people are no longer able to control the overall situation."
"Mr. Long is right." The representative of the Pu faction's government immediately interrupted, "Gui Mengjun's sudden death must have dealt a heavy blow to the Gui family. They have to deal with the funeral and investigate at the same time. I think it's hard to be distracted. The exhibition will start tomorrow and time cannot be delayed, so... I think it's better to let Lao Tai take charge of the situation. Apart from the Gui family, only Lao Tai has the qualifications and ability to do a good job in this business."
Xiao Qinglong nodded slowly: "Then let's go to Gui's house together?"
"I think so." Tai Zhengkang immediately stood up: "Lao Gui and I have been friends for many years. Such a big thing happened at home, I should go and take a look."
"Then let's go!" Xiao Qinglong stood up and walked out without saying a word.
Tai Zhengkang and Pu's subordinates followed Xiao Qinglong on both sides, surrounding him as he walked out of the hall.
…
On the outskirts of Hanoi, at the foot of a remote mountain, there is a small factory covering an area of several thousand square meters. However, from the outside, it seems that it has been out of operation for a long time and looks very dilapidated.
One after another off-road vehicles rushed into the small factory yard, and Su Tianyu and others were taken hostage from the cars and sent to the empty warehouse on the left.
In the warehouse hall, Xue Baolai put down his gun, waved his hand and shouted: "Get me something to eat. I'll play with them after I'm full and satisfied!"
at the same time.
Jing Yan held the phone and said to Xue Pingan in a hurried tone: "Don't touch Su Tianyu yet, I have something to ask him in person."
"Got it." Xue Ping'an replied.
"Just hand over Yu Mingyuan and don't worry about the others." Jing Yan reminded again: "Wait in Hanoi, I'll be there soon, and we'll go meet the Tai family together."
