One day later, Dragon City.
In Xin Chaojie's mansion, the children of the Xin family and the chief of staff of the Third Division all gathered together. They had heard that Xin Xiaoming was arrested by Zhou Xian in District 2 and that a gunfight had occurred at the scene.
In the study, Xin Chaojie's eldest son, Xin Xiaodong, the head of the First Main Regiment of the Third Division, was sitting on the sofa with a very grim expression: "The situation is really difficult now, Uncle Wu, what do you think we should do next?"
The chief of staff of the Third Division, Lao Wu, replied with an extremely grim expression: "I don't know either. Once Xiaoming is arrested, our relationship with the Red Group will definitely be hidden. As long as the regional council gives Zhou Xian a hint, all of us will be controlled."
When Xin Xiaoming got into trouble, everyone in the room trembled in fear, because this indicated that the core officers of the entire Third Division, as well as the children of the Xin family, might not escape the fate of being massacred.
Bribery and corruption are facts. This alone is enough to sentence many people to death, not to mention what consequences would arise if the robbery of arms was put on their heads.
"Can't we find Commander Tan and ask him to protect us?" The man who spoke was Xin Chaojie's eldest son-in-law. He served as the Minister of Ordnance Department of the Third Division. Simply put, he was in charge of both finance and armaments, and was a very powerful role.
The management team structure of the Third Division is basically centered around the Xin family members, which is also a feature of the Dragon City Army. The emperor is far away, and the land is divided to make the king. Even if you appoint people based on personal connections, the upper level will hardly notice it, or the money is arranged, and the direct departments are too lazy to care.
The eldest son-in-law looked at everyone and continued, "After all, we have been filial to Commander Tan. If he comes forward to help stop them, we still have a chance."
"Stop it!" Chief of Staff Wu replied with a gloomy face: "When Zhou Xian was taking Xiaoming away, he was intercepted. Who do you think did this?"
Everyone was silent.
"I'll be frank. If Xiaoming died outside, Lao Tan would definitely protect us. After all, we have worked together for so many years, and we have never lost him a favor, nor have we made any major mistakes. In addition, this matter was led by Zhou Xian, and he must be angry, so protecting us is equivalent to protecting his face." Chief of Staff Wu saw through it very clearly: "But now that Xiaoming has been brought back by Zhou Xian, it's not just us who are afraid, Lao Tan is even more afraid! Once something happens to the Third Division, he, as the commander, will have to bear the main responsibility. The upper echelons are investigating this matter thoroughly, and if something goes wrong, the entire garrison will be shaken. The old brand represented by Zhou Xian will definitely kill him! So... if things go wrong... all of us will be abandoned and pushed out by him."
"Fuck it, if he wants to get rid of the donkey after he has done his job, then no one will be happy at all." The eldest brother-in-law looked gloomy: "Let's coordinate our confessions and bite him first when we get in. The money we got for him over the years is enough to scare the regional council to death. I don't believe he can get away with it unscathed!"
"It's not a good idea to make both sides lose." Chief of Staff Wu sighed and said, "My opinion is that while the higher-ups haven't taken action yet and there's no evidence, we should all withdraw quickly and find a chance to leave the country."
"Don't care about my dad and Xiaoming?" Xin Xiaodong asked.
"How do we manage it?" Chief of Staff Wu spread his hands and asked, "Do you want to break into the prison?"
Xin Xiaodong gritted his teeth and said nothing.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
While everyone was discussing, Chief of Staff Wu's phone rang. He frowned and looked at the caller ID, then reached out and pressed the answer button: "Hello, hello! Yes... Yes, OK, I understand. No, absolutely not!"
Two minutes later, Chief of Staff Wu hung up the phone with a dejected look, looked up at everyone and said, "I got a call from the Regional Council. They said they would send an investigation team to the Third Division to assist Zhou Xian in handling the case. They are already on their way."
Everyone was shocked.
“… The fact that the regional council bypassed Tan Hengqiang and sent people directly to us is enough to explain the problem. Their attitude is still very friendly now, that’s because Xiaoming didn’t vomit and they haven’t got all the evidence.” Chief of Staff Wu immediately stood up and said, “But if the chain of evidence is completed, then none of us can escape. We don’t have much time left, so hurry up and arrange for evacuation, otherwise we will be wiped out!”
…
A little after one in the afternoon.
An airplane that flew from a military airport in Ba City, District 2, landed at Longcheng Civil Aviation Airport. The airport cleared the runway for it and dispatched security personnel.
After the plane landed and taxied, Zhou Xian, along with a dozen people, quickly walked into the jet bridge, left the security checkpoint through the VIP channel, and headed outside.
In the crowd, a man in a suit and a black hood on his head was sandwiched between a dozen people and walking quickly.
Zhou Xian led the team and they all came to the airport exit.
In the exit hall, a man holding a phone said: "They went out, Xin Xiaoming was in the middle wearing a hood."
Tan Mingchao stood in the airport parking lot and threw away his cigarette butt: "Just explode, shoot and leave."
"clear!"
The two ended the call and Tan Mingchao stepped into the car.
Ten seconds later.
Zhou Xian brought his men to the airport gate.
On the rooftop of the airport hotel diagonally opposite, a man pointed a sniper rifle at Xin Xiaoming, who was wearing a mask.
"Can we fire?" the gunman asked.
"Break him!" A response came from the intercom.
The gunman held his breath when he heard this and put his right index finger on the trigger.
At this moment, Zhou Xian suddenly turned around, reached out and took off the bandit hat on "Xin Xiaoming's" head, revealing his face.
On the rooftop, the gunman gritted his teeth and said, "It's not Xin Xiaoming, it's a stranger I don't know!"
The commander was stunned when he heard this.
"Block me?" Zhou Xian smiled and glanced at the rooftop: "Catch him!"
"Yes!" The member of the investigation team next to him immediately responded.
"Squeak, squeak!"
Several cars stopped on the side of the road. Zhou Xian quickly got in and shouted to the driver, "Go to the parking lot."
…
Three minutes later, at the exit of the airport parking lot, Tan Mingchao's car was blocked by Zhou Xian.
“Bang!”
Zhou Xian pushed the door and got out of the car, then walked to Tan Mingchao's car with a smile and knocked on the window.
“Swish!”
The car window rolled down, and Tan Mingchao looked at Zhou Xian with gritted teeth.
"Haha, are you blocking me?!" Zhou Xian pointed at the other party and chuckled, "You put two traitors around me, so you think you know everything, right? Let me tell you, I sent Xin Xiaoming away early in the morning. He went by land, and the one wearing a hood on the plane was my team member!"
Tan Mingchao had a gloomy face and clenched his fists.
"Xin Xiaoming and I are back alive, so now it's going to be exciting." Zhou Xian bent down and pointed at Tan Mingchao's face: "Get ready for defense, I'm going to attack, do you understand?!"
