Chapter 85 Transaction
As soon as Chen Chuan and other talents got off the armored transport vehicle, they were invited to Guan Yuming's temporary command post.
Guan Yuming had his adjutant explain the situation to them, then added, "Everyone, Madam Fang has already prepared the medicine. Now I need you to act accordingly. If the conditions permit during the transaction, you must try to rescue the person. Once the person is rescued, it will be easier for us to take action."
However, even though he said this, Wu Yi students could naturally choose to refuse, because they were now the entrusted party, not anyone's subordinates, so this matter was not mandatory for them.
Han Guo didn't say anything. She was responsible for providing information and evaluation, but how to choose was the students' business and she would not interfere.
One of the students, a senior named Liu, thought for a moment and asked, "What's the situation with the villagers in Caijiazhai?"
Guan Yuming said: "It's unclear at the moment. Caijiazhai must have been occupied by a resistance group before, and this group seems to have connections with Fang Dawei and other robbers. I can only say that the situation in the village is worrying."
After several students discussed it, they all tended to agree. Besides, since they were acting on camera, they had a lot of autonomy, and if there was no opportunity, they could simply not do it.
Chen Chuanzhong did not raise any opinions. After all, the senior students had experience, and when they were discussing, one could tell that their ideas were relatively reasonable.
At this point, student Liu made a request: "Director Guan, we can agree to this, but given that the enemy has both implants and firearms, we need the Police Department to provide us with protective clothing and grant us temporary permission to wear it."
Guan Yuming said readily, "Sure." If he could really get these people to solve the problem, he would save a lot of trouble.
Hearing his permission, the senior students relaxed a little. With the protective clothing, they could be a little bolder in their movements.
The protective clothing was delivered quickly. Although it was just standard protective clothing, it was enough for them.
Everyone changed into protective clothing immediately, including Chen Chuan. The protective clothing wrapped around his body slightly and was a bit thick, but it was not very heavy and did not hinder his movements.
At this time, Mrs. Fang's medicine was also delivered. Guan Yuming first asked the person who shouted in front to pass a message to the village. After receiving a definite reply, the group took the medicine and walked towards the village.
On the way, the senior named Wu suddenly asked Chen Chuan, "Junior, are you nervous?"
Chen Chuan said: "Not bad."
Senior Wu looked at him, chuckled, and said, "You're really capable. I was feeling a little uneasy."
"Okay, stop talking."
Senior Liu turned around and said solemnly to Chen Chuan, "Student Chen, I know you're very capable, but you might not have the experience to handle this kind of thing. I'll negotiate with these robbers later. If there's no chance, forget it. But don't act rashly. We're not alone, we're a team. If something goes wrong, it could kill everyone. But if you really have to act, don't hesitate."
He looked at the others again, "The same goes for you."
Student Wu said, "Okay, Brother Liu."
Chen Chuan nodded. This was a correct logic and he agreed with it. Missions and the like could actually be put aside. One had to ensure one's own safety first.
As the group gradually approached the village, Senior Liu looked inside, but saw that the village was quiet. He turned back and said, "Junior Chen, Classmate Wu, we will go in to negotiate. You two will wait at the village entrance and be responsible for meeting us. Remember to spread out and don't stand together."
Senior Wu seemed a little dissatisfied with him for leaving him there and muttered something.
Chen Chuan nodded.
There was nothing wrong with this arrangement. It was indeed better to have someone guarding outside so that they wouldn't be cut off. Anyway, no matter how it was arranged, someone would have to be outside anyway, so he had no objection.
After giving the instructions, Senior Liu entered the village with three other students. For safety reasons, he divided the students into groups of two, with a distance of more than ten meters between them.
But after arriving in the village, the surroundings were still quiet, as if there was no one around. Looking around, they saw a three-story brick and wood building in the center of the village, which should be the tallest building in the village, so they tentatively walked towards it.
Inside the outpost command center, Guan Yuming was watching their movements with a telescope from behind, while also observing the village, but he didn't see any movement, as if everyone had hidden themselves.
Just as they saw that some of Wu Yi's group had already gone deep into the village and were almost out of sight, the phone behind them suddenly rang again.
The deputy went over to answer it and turned around to say, "Director Guan, the director is calling."
Guan Yuming immediately turned around and answered, saying, "Hello, it's Guan Yuming." A voice came from the other side immediately, but he just heard one sentence, his expression tensed, and he couldn't help but look towards the village. He immediately said to the messenger patrol, "Send a message, tell them to come back quickly!"
The messenger patrolman reacted quickly and ran out immediately.
Chen Chuan was waiting at the bottom of the gentle slope when he suddenly heard a shout from far behind.
He turned around and saw a patrolman running out from a low hill in the distance and yelling at him. At this moment, the student named Wu in the front moved his ears, as if he had heard what he said. He immediately rushed into the village and shouted inside: "Everyone, the child is not in the village. Director Guan asked us to go back!"
Senior Liu and his companions heard it from afar and immediately ran back without hesitation. But at this moment, Senior Liu and his group faintly heard the crying of a child.
They couldn't help but stop.
The female student hurriedly said, "The child is not here."
"But there's a child in there!"
Senior Liu replied in a deep voice. He snatched the protective umbrella from the female student's hand, pushed her out, and said, "You go back first!" He turned around and rushed into the room where the sound came from.
The female student looked at him, gritted her teeth, and ran back quickly.
But at this moment, a huge explosion suddenly came from the road behind her. The houses in the center of the village collapsed one after another. The flying rubble and bricks fell from the village to the outside. Even the place where Chen Chuan and others were standing was covered with dust and gravel.
At the outpost command center, Mrs. Fang was waiting nervously and anxiously. When she heard the explosion, her face turned pale and her hands and feet began to tremble.
She stumbled over to Guan Yuming, grabbed him, and said in a panic, "Director Guan, didn't you go to replace him? I gave him the medicine. Did you force those people? Why did you force them? Why? My son is only seven years old. He did nothing wrong."
Guan Yuming said, "Mrs. Fang, please calm down. Your son is not in the village."
Mrs. Fang almost suspected she had misheard, but then a surge of hope arose. She clutched Guan Yuming's arm tightly, her nails digging into the flesh. She stared at Guan Yuming and hoarsely said, "He's not in the village. Where is he? Where is he?!"
Guan Yuming seemed unfazed and said in a gentle tone, "I just received a call. Your son, Fang Xunli, sneaked out of the house alone at 8:30 this morning and went to play at his classmate's house. I don't know how he did it, but he's with his classmate now."
He looked at the stunned Mrs. Fang and said, "So the robbers didn't take your son."
Madam Fang seemed to have lost all her strength and slid down. Guan Yuming caught her and told his deputy, "Send Madam Fang back."
The deputy quickly came up to take over.
"Report!"
The messenger came over and saluted. "Captain Yu, reporting that Fang Dawei and his group retreated from the north during the transaction. Should we pursue them?"
Guan Yuming said in a deep voice, "Send the order, have him catch up immediately and kill these people!"
"yes!"
At this time, Han Guo was also observing the situation in the village through a telescope. At this time, the driver of the armored transport vehicle came over, handed her a list, and said, "Commissioner Han, there is a telegram."
She took it and quickly translated it in her mind, then understood the content. She said, "Reply. I have been informed and will inform the assigned students of the situation truthfully."
