At the same time, in a secret base, Dou Laifeng was so shocked by the information he had just received that he spat out two mouthfuls of blood.
"Is it true?"
A weak voice escaped from her throat. At this moment, her face was as ferocious as a ghost. Her pair of turbid old eyes, full of vicissitudes of life, were so shocked and angry that her eyeballs were almost bulging out. There was a deathly aura emanating from her whole body.
"Ma'am, yes, it's true."
The one who reported the news to her was Lao Yuan. As usual, he went out to inquire about the latest information today and happened to hear the verdict of Liang Yian and others announced on the radio.
He originally thought that Liang Yian and the others had left safely, but he never expected that they had been caught long ago. He shouldn't have told the old lady about her current physical condition, but he couldn't hide it at all. Even if he didn't say it, other people would pass the news on. So after thinking it over again and again, he took the initiative to tell her the news.
The result was just as he expected. When the old lady heard the news, she was so angry that she vomited blood on the spot.
Seeing her look as if she had aged nearly ten years in an instant, Lao Yuan felt very uncomfortable. After hesitating for a moment, he began to comfort her: "Old Madam, you must take care of yourself. Yi'an and the others are still waiting for you to rescue them."
Dou Laifeng also wanted to save them, but she was powerless. The foundation she had carefully built for decades was destroyed one by one. Now she had no choice but to live under someone else's roof and was forced to cooperate with her son-in-law's people. She really had no power now.
The eldest son, second son and eldest grandson are all gone, and the daughter and son-in-law will probably die soon too, leaving only the youngest son.
No matter what, she had to preserve the Liang family's bloodline and roots. With a resolute heart, she struggled to her feet and made desperate arrangements: "Go, activate that chess piece. No matter what the cost, send Fuzhi out of the country."
The Fuzhi she mentioned is Liang Yian's eldest son, who is only thirteen or fourteen years old and very smart. She no longer expects him to take revenge, but only wants to pass on the Liang family's bloodline.
"Should we wait for Ah Zhi to come back before making any arrangements?" Lao Yuan asked.
"No, do it now."
There was no news from Xiao Zhi, and Dou Laifeng had a feeling that she might have failed.
She wanted to preserve the Liang family's bloodline, but the reality might not be as she wished. Elder Long Jing had long anticipated that she would take action and had already issued important instructions on the Liang family's case.
Not to mention people, not even a fly could fly into the place where the Liang family members were imprisoned, and the place where they were imprisoned could not be found from the outside.
On the contrary, her action exposed a chess piece that was hidden very deeply. The opponent was spotted as soon as he made a move and was taken away for investigation not long after.
When Lao Yuan came back from his work outside, it was already dark. As soon as he came back, he reported the situation outside to Dou Laifeng.
All the news he heard was bad, not good. Dou Laifeng had become numb to it. His body was in unbearable pain, but his mind was unusually clear and calm. "Lao Yuan, go ask if there's any news about Xiao Zhi."
"good."
Five or six minutes later, Lao Yuan came back and said, "Madam, no."
Dou Laifeng was extremely sensitive to danger. He looked at the sky outside with a frighteningly deep gaze. “Lao Yuan, pack up your things, take our people, and leave immediately.”
"Old lady..."
Lao Yuan frowned. He knew her personality and abilities very well. After thinking for a moment, he stopped talking and nodded, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements now."
"Hurry up, let's go."
Dou Laifeng struggled to get up and packed his things while enduring the pain.
This base is managed by Pei Haiyuan's people. They insisted on leaving and the other party did not stop them. In fact, they were eager for them to leave and did not want their whereabouts to be targeted by the higher-ups.
The next morning after they left, Xiao Zhi returned, exhausted and injured. Upon learning that they had left the previous night, he quickly borrowed the base's telegraph equipment to send them a message, while he himself stayed there to recuperate.
She had no idea that Han Zheng and his team had also arrived here and had discovered the secret mechanism outside the base.
Han Zheng and his team were moving through the vast mountains. The people in Yang County were already loading the luggage onto the truck, and the Han family was about to leave after breakfast.
Yun Huaying got up early in the morning to cook for them, steamed some steamed buns suitable for taking on the road, packed some vegetables for them in a thermos, washed a bag of apples and pears and gave them to the twins, asking them to take good care of their grandparents in the car.
After moving everything, Han Zhangjiang came over and said to her, "Huaying, we're leaving now. Be careful on your way to Jinling. Your family will send a car to pick you up at the train station later."
"Okay. Uncle, please drive slowly on the road."
The two elders of the Han family had just closed the door and handed the key to the team leader. They briefly said a few words to the neighbors and came over to talk to them: "Lin Shan, Jiang Yuan, we will return to Beijing after the New Year. If you have the opportunity to come to Kyoto in the future, remember to come to the Han family and stay. Let Huaying bring you over."
"Okay, we will definitely come to visit you then." Lin Shan responded.
Jiang Yuan smiled and said goodbye: "Grandpa Han, Grandma Han, please be safe on the road and take care of yourself."
"Okay, okay, you guys just focus on your work and studies. You'll definitely have the opportunity to return to the city in the future."
Grandma Han patted their shoulders and said to her granddaughter-in-law, "Huaying, we're leaving. Take care of yourself. We'll see you during the New Year."
"Okay, see you during the New Year." Yun Huaying smiled.
After watching the truck leave, Yun Huaying felt as if something was missing in her heart. She had been getting along with the two elders these days and had unknowingly developed feelings for them. Now she felt a bit reluctant to part with them.
Lin Shan and the others also stood there and watched the car leave. When they saw that it was no longer in sight, they prepared to go to the shed. "Huaying, let's go and get to work."
"Um."
When the people in the team saw the two elders of the Han family leave, they all guessed that Yun Huaying would leave too. After all, she was already dating Han Zheng and they had already discussed getting married. So they all came up to her to ask.
Yun Huaying didn't like to chat with people, so she just replied that she would not leave next year and then ignored them.
The other educated youth envied her because she had the Han family as her backing and could leave whenever she wanted. They had actually inquired about the identities of the two elders of the Han family before, but no one else in the team knew, and the two elders were cautious and didn't say much, so until now no one knew where they came from.
However, this time when Han Zhangjiang arrived, he drove a large military truck and was accompanied by four guards. They had already guessed that Mr. Han must be a powerful figure.
Now they all felt a little regretful. If they had known that the other party was a big shot, they would have behaved well in front of him over the years.
Maybe the old man was kind-hearted and just gave an order to transfer them back to the city.
