Li Chu had barely settled into his office when he was summoned to the central command center by another phone call.

He rushed over, and outside the office area, Secretary Liu was waiting for him.

"Brother Li, the commander has some urgent business to attend to, so we may have to wait a little while."

"Okay, I'll stand outside."

Secretary Liu looked around and said in a low voice, "Brother Li, the commander isn't in a good mood. You'd better be careful later."

Li Chu nodded with a wry smile. Of course he knew why Uncle Wang was in a bad mood.

He must have found out about what happened last night; he expected to get a scolding.

After waiting outside for about twenty minutes, the person who had been temporarily squeezed into Uncle Wang's office to report on his work came out.

When it was his turn to go in, he realized that what Secretary Liu had said earlier was not accurate.

This isn't just a bad mood; it's clearly a very bad mood.

Uncle Wang's face was so stern it could be scraped dry. After he came in, he didn't dare to sit down. Instead, he stood obediently in front of the desk, head bowed, waiting for his fate.

His obedient appearance made Uncle Wang unable to vent his anger, which actually made the old man laugh in exasperation.

"You bastard, do you know why I called you here?"

"I know, someone must have reported what happened last night to you. It must have been Director Li."

"Tell me what you're really thinking. You're using yourself as bait and trying to drag Qiu Nan down with you."

Hearing Uncle Wang ask this, a bitter smile appeared on Li Chu's face: "Uncle, do you think Qiu Nan will go to the safe place I arranged for her? I don't want her to come with me either."

"Sigh~" Uncle Wang sighed, no longer dwelling on the issue, and pointed to the chair in front of him, gesturing for him to sit down.

"We caught two last night, do you think there will be more?"

"There definitely are more," Li Chu said with absolute certainty.

"Those two last night were at most sent by a certain force. We've sold quite a few copies of that prescription, so at least four or five more groups of people will come looking for me."

Are you mentally prepared?

"Don't worry, Uncle, everything is ready."

Uncle Wang nodded without saying a word, but his fingers had already begun tapping on the table.

Seeing this, Li Chu didn't say anything. He just picked up Uncle Wang's jar from the table, added some water for him, and poured himself a glass of water as well.

After a while, Uncle Wang stopped tapping his fingers and said, "How about this, I'll arrange a place for you to stay. You can go home after Xiao Li and Xiao Sun have completely dealt with this matter."

"Uncle, I have thought of the method you mentioned, but it won't work. Once I hide, those people will know that we are prepared, and they will also hide."

"If that's the case, when will this ever end? I can't spend the rest of my life living in anonymity."

Uncle Wang could certainly understand this principle, but he still said it because he was worried about the safety of his nephew and niece-in-law.

"Have you considered that even if we arrest all these people this time, they will definitely continue to send people in later? As long as they are willing to spend money, there will always be people willing to jump in one after another."

Li Chu shrugged nonchalantly: "Then let them come. Arrest one if they come, arrest two if they come. It'll just be me, and Jianjun and the others will have an easier time with their work."

Uncle Wang stared intently at his nephew for a long time before finally letting out a soft sigh: "I'll arrange for two people to be assigned to the family."

"Please don't, Uncle!" Hearing Uncle Wang say this, he hurriedly waved his hand: "You know I don't like outsiders staying at my house. I've already let Xiao Tian stay with me. I also noticed last night that his reaction was pretty good."

"Be careful. I'll keep this from your aunt for now. You can explain it to her yourself later."

"I was planning to go home and talk to her this Sunday."

"And what about the children..."

Uncle Wang gave him detailed instructions for a long time.

It's clear that Uncle Wang still feels apologetic towards him for this. It was something that could have been completely avoided, but in order to earn foreign exchange for the country, he had no choice but to put his nephew in a dangerous situation.

In fact, Li Chu didn't really have any other thoughts about this matter. Even if there wasn't this danger, there would be other dangers.

This is already the worst-case scenario; it can't get any worse.

Anyway, he never considered going abroad in his life, so his children shouldn't even think about it.

In that case, as long as you stay in China, your basic personal safety is guaranteed.

Even if these people are arrogant, they only dare to do things secretly and in the dark.

After chatting with Uncle Wang for a while, seeing that Secretary Liu had already come in twice and there must be people waiting outside to report on their work, he took his leave.

Just as I stepped out of the office area, I ran into Zhang Jianshe, who was carrying a large bag.

"Uncle Li, it's perfect timing to run into you. It saves me the trouble of making another trip."

"What's wrong, Jianshe? Why are you looking for me?"

Zhang Jianshe put the bag he was carrying on the ground, unzipped it, and took out a vest-like item from it.

Point Guard Here

“Uncle Li, this is the latest bulletproof vest I just received. It’s a lightweight one. I know you probably don’t want it. This is for Aunt Ding. The weather is getting cooler now, so I’ll have her wear it under her coat as a separate garment.”

Taking the vest from Zhang Jianshe, I found it wasn't heavy at all, and the fabric felt quite comfortable.

"How is it, Uncle Li? It feels pretty good, doesn't it? It's much more comfortable and lighter than the old model."

"Thanks, Jianshe. I thank you on behalf of your aunt."

"No need to thank me, Uncle Li. It's my duty. It's been specially tested. As long as it's not pointed directly at the body, it can stop a 7.62mm pistol bullet without any problem."

Actually, it's not a big problem to defend against the May Fourth Squadron's gunfire, which is already quite good.

While there is no current ban on firearms, that only applies to air guns. The control over police or military weapons remains quite strict.

During the day, I have my wife wear this under her coat, which greatly increases safety.

Satisfied, he said goodbye to Zhang Jianshe and carried the vest to the west gate of the central area, where Xiao Tian was driving in the parking lot.

As soon as he stepped out of the west gate, he felt a malicious gaze fall upon him.

Sighing inwardly, he thought, "Is this never going to end? You dare to spy on people here? Should I call you bold or stupid?"

He didn't deliberately look for where that gaze was coming from, but instead hesitated for a moment at the entrance of the West Gate.

There's nothing to the east of the west gate, and a parking lot to the west.

The parking lot is guarded, so it's not easy for outsiders to get in. There's nothing to the east, so the only person watching him must be across the street.
