After understanding the factory's basic structure, Huo Haoshi had a general plan in mind.
After separating from Ruan Ruan, he couldn't wait to find Zheng Xuyang and Huo Haoshen to discuss a feasible plan for the future development of the furniture factory.
Over the next few days, Ruan Ruan stayed home with her child, and Huo Haocheng resumed normal training on the third day after his return.
A week passed smoothly, and Huo Haocheng went on another mission. This time it was different from the previous one; it wasn't in such a hurry. They were also cooperating with the army in Haicheng to capture people.
Even before Ruan Ruan and his group left Beijing, the Haicheng Military Research Base sent a report stating that it had successfully completed the production of the country's first aircraft carrier and that it would be deployed to the sea for testing yesterday.
However, considering that not all potential enemy agents in Haicheng have surfaced, the higher-ups decided to dispatch Huo Haocheng's independent regiment's special operations team to Haicheng to cooperate with the Haicheng Public Security Bureau and the military in completing the Haicheng Dite encirclement and suppression mission.
Upon receiving this order, Commander Gu also received another document instructing him to pass it on to Comrade Zheng Xuyang after the mission in Haicheng was completed. The document stated that the Zheng family was a patriotic family, and that the actions of others were unrelated to them. Furthermore, all Zheng family assets recovered during this operation would be returned to Zheng Xuyang and his brother, Zheng Xujie.
The document states that it can only be handed to Zheng Xuyang after the encirclement and suppression mission is completed.
Upon seeing this document, Commander Gu couldn't understand why the higher-ups valued Zheng Xuyang so highly. Even if the Zheng family hadn't committed any acts of treason, and given the current state of national development, the Zheng family would likely have been labeled capitalists long ago, so how could their assets still be in their hands? Yet now, the higher-ups were stating that the assets seized during this mission should belong to the state, but instead, they were saying that all of the Zheng family's assets would be returned. The fact that the family was a survivor didn't make logical sense. Did Zheng Xuyang possess some extraordinary ability that Commander Gu was unaware of?
Of course, he didn't mean to belittle Zheng Xuyang; he just felt that the matter was too strange. After thinking about it, he decided to keep the question to himself and believed that the answer would be found in the future.
After returning home, Huo Haocheng told his wife about his upcoming mission, explaining that it was to cooperate with the Haicheng military's encirclement and suppression operation. He also shared the information he had heard with her.
"Wife, why do you think the higher-ups are doing this?" Huo Haocheng was equally puzzled.
Hearing Huo Haocheng's words, Ruan Ruan understood that the higher-ups were doing this for two reasons. First, Zheng Xuyang was now considered one of her people, and they wanted to give her face. Second, they valued Zheng Xuyang's business acumen. They thought that in two years, the country would completely end the current situation, resume the college entrance examination, and open up the economy. At that time, the responsibility of attracting foreign investment would still need Zheng Xuyang to take the lead.
"It must be that the higher-ups want to offer some compensation to the Zheng family?" Ruan Ruan was too lazy to tell Huo Haocheng her true thoughts, lest he overthink things and imagine all sorts of nonsense.
"You'll likely have to go on this mission. It'll be naval warfare, but your experience in this area is clearly lacking. So you must be extremely careful! Listen to others' opinions as much as possible during the operation. I heard that my third brother, Ruan Shaokun, and fifth brother, Ruan Shaoqin, are both at the military headquarters in Haicheng, so if necessary, ask for their advice when you go there. I believe you will be able to cooperate seamlessly and complete the mission perfectly. My children and I are waiting for your safe return at home."
Speaking of her third and fifth brothers, Ruan Ruan said that she only met Ruan Shaokun once when her eldest brother Ruan Shaohong got married. As for Ruan Shaoqin, the two siblings only corresponded with each other.
From his words, Ruan Ruan could tell about her fifth brother, Ruan Shaoqin's, personality. He was methodical and responsible, but in life, he was just a carefree, boy-next-door type. Although he was already in his twenties, she had heard that her second aunt had been trying to find him a wife recently. Perhaps she was worried that, like Ruan Shaoke, spending so much time in the military and surrounded by only men, he might lose interest in women. So, after learning about her eldest son's situation, she eventually accepted it and set her sights on him, writing to him many times urging him to come home. Well… because of the distance, he kept delaying, often taking months to reply to a single letter. So, Ruan Ruan still felt that her fifth brother had his own unique way of doing things.
"Don't worry, honey. Don't you know me? I would never do anything that's uncertain. Besides, this time we're cooperating with the Haicheng Public Security Bureau and the military. We'll do whatever they tell us to do. I think they know very well what we're not good at, so they probably won't let us take any risks." Huo Haocheng didn't want his wife to worry, so while the mission was described as cooperating to complete the work, he was determined not to take the lead.
He's a man who listens to his wife very much.
The next day, Huo Haocheng set off for Haicheng with the luggage his wife had packed for him.
Meanwhile, in Haicheng, before their arrival, they had already begun quietly arresting all those who were under control. Of course, among those arrested was Zheng Xuyang's second uncle, who was the person who had the most frequent contact with enemy agents.
The enemy agents in Haicheng may have also received some information from above.
In an inconspicuous fishing village in Haicheng, a dark-skinned, slightly overweight man less than 1.7 meters tall received orders from his superiors to destroy the warships that the navy had just deployed, at all costs.
After reading the order, the man immediately destroyed it.
He gazed at the sea not far away and fell into deep thought.
If he followed orders, everything he had painstakingly built up over the years would be exposed, and his true identity would likely be exposed as well. This meant that he could return home early after completing the mission. He missed his island dearly, so after thinking it through, he made up his mind.
Similarly, it is also possible that he will die far from home, which would be the worst possible outcome for him.
However, he had no regrets for the sake of the great emperor.
Therefore, he then began to mobilize all the people who had been lurking in the shadows.
Unbeknownst to him, some of the people he mobilized were already under surveillance, so when these people began their operation, the many more they brought were also monitored by the military.
