Inside the office of the An faction’s military headquarters.
Tan Hengqiang waved his hand to signal the guards not to follow him, and walked alone to the sofa and sat down: "This Longcheng is in turmoil, but you, Old An, can still sit on the Diaoyutai. This kind of calmness really requires some skills!"
"Haha." An Zecheng smiled, waved his hand to dismiss the guards, sat down next to Tan Hengqiang and said, "How can I be calm? The more chaotic it is, the more panicked I feel. I'm afraid a stray bullet will fly over and hit me right in the middle of my forehead. Alas, we don't have anyone above us, so I can only rely on you to take care of me in Longcheng."
Tan Hengqiang intervened and looked at him: "Lao An, is it true or false?"
An Zecheng was stunned for a moment: "Every word I said to you is true."
Tan Hengqiang nodded slowly, stretched out his hand and patted An Zecheng's thigh, and immediately brought the two closer by addressing him: "Brother, this is a difficult time for me!"
An Zecheng looked at him: "What can I do for you?"
"Something happened to the Xin family, and the investigation team pointed the finger directly at the garrison." Tan Hengqiang sighed: "Alas, I am a little tired of dealing with it now."
"I understand!" An Zecheng nodded.
"The family members of the officers involved are more important. This directly determines what kind of confession the arrested person will give." Tan Hengqiang paused and said bluntly, "I am in a difficult situation now!"
Anze Cheng was silent.
"How can I tell who my friends are?" Tan Hengqiang patted An Zecheng's thigh. "Can you tell me?"
At this point, the two old foxes looked at each other. Tan Hengqiang's eyes were serious and sharp, while An Zecheng looked a little hesitant and surprised.
The two were silent for a while, and An Zecheng slapped his thigh and said, "The stray bullet that was supposed to come finally came, but since it was shot by you, Old Tan, I have to take it no matter what! Tell me, how do we do it?"
…
Longcheng city area.
Tan Mingchao sat in the car and asked on the intercom: "How many have been picked up?"
"We've finished our work here at Tahe, and we're heading out now." The officer in charge of the connection asked, "Should we gather according to the predetermined plan, or should we go separately and be more discreet?"
Tan Mingchao frowned. "You picked up people at the same time right under the noses of the investigation team. How can you hide it when you are robbing them openly? There is no need to do that. Just gather according to the predetermined plan and wait for Lao Wu's people to come."
"Okay, I understand."
"Hurry, leave the city as soon as possible and don't let the 77th and 78th Regiments target you!" Tan Mingchao warned.
"Understood, understood!"
After the two ended their call, Tan Mingchao looked down at his watch and urged the driver, "Take a detour out of the city, quick!"
…
Tan Mingchao's plan to pick up people was carried out simultaneously in all divisions. He did not want to leave much reaction time for the investigation team, otherwise, if they were blocked by the 77th and 78th Regiments, they would miss the opportunity.
After the pick-up teams in various regions succeeded, they immediately met outside the district near the 405 gas station in the south of Longcheng.
at the same time.
Zhou Xian has mobilized two regiments of helicopters and mobile forces to go out of the city to chase the families of the officers involved, but their pace is a little slow because the timing of the approval procedures was not good. The application was submitted in the early hours of last night, so when the order was issued, it was already noon today.
Inside the 77th Regiment, Zhou Xian held the intercom and urged Li Yuan: "It's no different from a falling out now. Don't worry about the resistance from the local troops. As long as you can capture the person for me, even if you only kill a regiment commander, it's worth it!"
"I see. I'm activating the inside line here. I should be able to lock them down soon."
"Okay, okay, as soon as possible!"
The two ended the call, and Zhou Xian took the leader of the 77th Regiment out of the office building.
…
Outside the area.
On Highway 405, seven or eight cars were speeding. Zhang Hao was sitting in the front car. He turned his head and looked at Fei Pingsheng and asked, "Brother Fei, do you think Lao Tan can control it?"
Fei Pingsheng thought about this question carefully: "I don't know. To be honest, I don't know if he dares to confront the investigation team head-on. If he doesn't dare... then it depends on fate. If the family members can't escape, it's useless to say anything."
"Then all the preparations above were in vain?" Zhang Hao asked.
Fei Pingsheng looked at him and smiled: "Brother, just remember one thing, nothing in this world is certain, all plans may be worth a fortune, or they may be worthless."
Zhang Hao nodded slowly: "It has to be a cultured person. When you say discouraging words, you say them differently from others."
“Haha!” Lao Fei smiled and said, “Learn from me. You can do it as you learn.”
"good!"
"Don't be nervous. The more nervous you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes."
"Um!"
The two chatted for a while in the car, and Zhang Hao was indeed more relaxed. In fact, objectively speaking, since the No. 7 Island incident, he has been left with a lot of shadows in his heart and often has nightmares, so every time he has to do something big, he is very nervous. However, this kind of emotion cannot be told to outsiders, and he is also trying his best to restrain himself.
There was no conversation along the way. At around 5:10 in the evening, everyone arrived at the open space next to the 405 gas station. At this time, more than a dozen cars had been waiting for a long time.
Tan Mingchao was also nearby, but he did not show up. He just held the intercom and shouted, "Xiaolong, go with them. Once you are out of the area, find our people to take over."
"Understood, Commander Tan!" The officer named Xiaolong responded into the headset and immediately stepped forward: "Hello, I'm responsible for seeing you off. My name is Xiaolong."
"Hello!" An officer under Chief of Staff Wu shook hands with Xiaolong: "Shall we go?"
"Okay, we can set off." Xiaolong glanced at the person sent by Chief of Staff Wu and immediately urged him.
After everyone met and communicated, they got on the car together again.
“Ding ding!”
The horn sounded, and the SUV that Xiaolong was riding in stopped in front of Fei Pingsheng's car.
"What's wrong?" the driver asked, rolling down the window.
"It's okay, just follow me." Xiaolong replied.
"Okay!" the driver nodded.
When Xiaolong reached out to touch the window-raising button, he suddenly glanced inside the other car. His eyes lingered on Zhang Hao for a moment, his look somewhat puzzled.
“Swish!”
When Xiaolong was about to take a closer look, the other party had already rolled up the car window.
"Let's go!" Xiaolong didn't think much about it and just urged the driver.
As soon as the words fell, the convoy set off.
Xiaolong led more than 20 people, and together with more than 20 people sent by Chief of Staff Wu, they escorted more than 70 family members of the officers involved and quickly fled overseas.
…
Inside Dragon City.
Zhou Xian held the intercom and asked, "Hasn't there been any news yet?!"
"We figured it out." Li Yuan immediately replied, "They gathered at the 405 gas station and are now leaving together, heading towards the defense zone of the 3rd Regiment of the 55th Army."
"How many people do you have there?" Zhou Xian asked.
"There are a lot of people here. The company that was originally preparing to pick up the family members has now gathered together. There are almost two battalions."
"Go ahead!" Zhou Xian yelled, "Quick! Catch up with them, don't let them get away!"
