Chapter 158 Chapter 160 A Wise Choice
Deacon Wei looked up at Yu Dian and Su Yang anxiously. Yu Dian frowned thoughtfully. They were willing to help Deacon Wei at this time because under the current circumstances, a stable team was more in line with their common interests. If the team was in chaos and people's morale was scattered, no one would benefit.
"Old Fang, does Qian Bangshou have any opinion or explanation on this matter?" Yu Dian asked the red-faced man.
"Shoulder Qian asked me to tell you that he will pretend not to know about the possible connections of Ayi with the family in Beijing for the time being. As long as the people in Beijing don't pursue it, he won't mention it again. As for the people in Beijing, you have to figure it out on yourselves." The red-faced man made it clear in his words, but Deacon Wei felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Most of the people in the organization were locals, so how come Ayi had connections in Beijing?
By the way, Yu Dian came from the capital, he should have some connections there. Deacon Wei looked up at Yu Dian with some trepidation. Any disposal from the capital could not be conveyed for a while, if Yu Dian was willing to help, perhaps he could remedy the situation.
Yu Dian sighed softly, "Even if I know someone, I can't pass the message back."
The world has changed drastically, communications have been cut off, and normal channels of contact have long been abolished. Contact with the capital is only in the hands of a few unidentified supervisors, and even Qian Bangshou is a passive recipient of news.
The communicator that their organization's members currently use to communicate is the latest research result of the Beijing Research Institute that was transferred to them through special channels.
Although the number is limited, the signal is extremely unstable, and information is often not received, the team's combat effectiveness and cohesion are still greatly improved compared to before.
Deacon Wei's face turned pale and he deeply regretted his reckless behavior. It was not impossible to avoid it at that time, so why did he panic?
If he had no intention of going to Beijing and only stayed in Chongzhou and Binyang, he could be killed even if Ayi had connections in Beijing. However, he happened to overhear the conversation between Qian Bangshou and Yu Dian. They wanted to enter Beijing and stay in Beijing under the mission of escorting Rong Xianxian and her son to Beijing. Steward Wei had to use a lot of connections and favors to get this opportunity.
Before the end of the world, the capital was the political and cultural center of the country. After the end of the world, various mercenary teams from the capital escorted many top talents from all walks of life to the capital. At the Beijing Research Institute, some people were researching new communication technologies, some were researching mutated animals and plants, various monsters, some were researching various types of martial arts, some were researching new energy weapons, and there were many more secretive and unknown fields.
It is conceivable that in this turbulent world, if one wants to live long and well in this world, going to Beijing is a wise choice. Deacon Wei's hometown happens to be not far from the capital.
The other people in the room naturally changed the topic. No one cared about what Deacon Wei was thinking. They talked about their next plan.
"Mr. Qian asked me to tell you that, judging from the route that Madam Rong and the others took, they most likely stayed in Baihua Town last night. If they still want to keep up with the mercenaries returning to the capital, they must leave there today. Either they return to the highway and go directly to the Binyang Security Zone, or they take this road to the Binyang Old City." Lao Fang took out a topographic map of the surrounding environment of the Binyang Security Zone and pointed to several places and said to the others.
"Now, Deacon Yu, your previous reckless behavior has brought the relationship between us and Madam Rong to a deadlock. In the next step, you can only assist in secret and cannot come forward directly." Lao Fang stared at Yu Dian and the other three and said.
"Understood." Yu Dian nodded and accepted the arrangement.
"Old Fang, you know, we didn't do anything. We were respectful to her and ran around for her. Why is Madam Rong so wary of us? Did she know something? And what's going on with that Wang Lin? Can't the organization do anything about him?" Yu Dian said this with a depressed look on his face.
"Wang Lin was not trained by the organization. He was pushed in by his brother to gain seniority. He is not loyal enough to the organization, so he avoids us and we really can't do anything about him. As for Madam Rong, she may be resentful that the Seventh Young Master did not show up when she and her son needed help the most. We received the instructions from our superiors a little late. If we had shown up earlier and shown goodwill to them when they were still weak, there would be no trouble like today." Lao Fang sighed and said, the clan ordered that the three of them, mother and son, be kept in check. If Qian Bangshou had corrected his attitude early on and helped them when they were troubled, he might have won the favor of Madam Rong.
Unfortunately, Qian Bangshou was arrogant. At first, he did not take Mrs. Rong, a woman, seriously. He was unwilling to show up too early and deliberately wanted to laugh at her. He thought that if she knew that the family had sent people to protect them, she would be ecstatic and this task would not be difficult for them. Later, he became jealous of the two advanced martial arts books that Mrs. Rong had obtained and his attitude was too eager, which aroused Mrs. Rong's vigilance.
Lao Fang saw everything clearly from the side and had tried to persuade Qian Rufeng, but unfortunately Qian Rufeng wouldn't listen and ended up in the current situation.
"Mr. Qian has arranged two groups of people. One group will monitor the movements at the gate of Binyang Security Zone, and the other group will monitor the movements at Binyang Old City. If there is any discovery, you can be mobilized for support at any time. You should be ready to go at any time." Lao Fang said.
"Okay, I'll follow the organization's arrangements." Yu Dian responded.
"Ayi, why are you here?" Chang Qing asked with a frown when he saw Zhang Yi walking in stealthily.
Chang Qing was staying in a low hut in the corner of the house where sundries were stored. He was imprisoned here by Deacon Wei for spreading rumors and disrupting the morale of the army.
Zhang Yi looked around. Although the space was messy, it was relatively clean. Chang Qing had a calm expression and no sign of anger was visible. He moved closer to Chang Qing and whispered, "Brother Chang Qing, don't fight them anymore. I just saw Lao Fang, who was next to Qian Bangshou, coming over. They have no intention of taking care of this matter at all. And I overheard that they suspect you are a spy and say they want to investigate you. What should we do?" Zhang Yi said worriedly.
"Spy, what a joke. I am loyal to the organization, loyal to my family, and have made countless contributions. I just told a few truths, but they dared to slander me like this. They didn't even think about it. This is a human life. Even if I don't say anything, can the organization just pretend it never happened? Do they think Ayi is a rootless ghost?" Chang Qing sneered, pursed his lips, and said disapprovingly.
