Upon hearing this, everyone realized it wasn't a big deal.
As for Qin Jingru crying, that's normal. The young couple hasn't been married for very long, and she missed him terribly since he didn't come home all night.
After everyone had left.
Several people then walked out of the courtyard.
Qin Huairu followed along.
"Qin Huairu, what are you doing here?" An old man asked, puzzled. What was Qin Huairu doing here?
"Uncle, I'm worried about my sister. What happened? Do you know?" Qin Huairu tried her best to keep her voice calm, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear a slight tremor in her voice.
"I suspect something might have really happened."
"Huh?! It can't be that bad, can it?"
"Is it really possible we've encountered a spy?" the third uncle asked hurriedly.
In fact, the system of "managers" in this compound was established at the beginning of the People's Republic of China to prevent enemy spies from infiltrating. For one thing, their sensitivity to espionage has always been the highest. However, now that there are fewer spies, they have gradually become purely managerial. If this were ten or twenty years ago, they would probably have directly mobilized the masses to start searching everywhere.
"Well, it's not surprising that Shouren is being watched," an old man explained. "Last year, the steel mill's output increased dramatically, quadrupling in size. If it were a spy, they'd probably want to find out what was going on. And now, he's gone on a business trip to the machine factory; I reckon he's also there to increase production. So..."
"So you were targeted?" Qin Huairu asked quickly.
Qin Jingru was completely stunned. How could she suddenly be a spy? She quickly asked, "Uncle, will... will Shouren be alright?"
"Probably not." The old man wasn't really sure himself.
He came from that era, and he understands how ruthless spies were back then.
Those people weren't like kidnappers who would reason with you. They'd just shoot a bullet into your body to kill you, then torture you with all sorts of cruel methods until you agreed to their demands. He didn't know if Wang Shouren could withstand that.
He led a group of people and rushed to the factory.
So, I went to the security department.
The head of the security department knew the old man. Hearing what the old man said, he hesitated and said, "Master Yi, it's hard to say whether this is true or not. If it is, then I'll have to make this call."
Espionage is no small matter, but if this call goes through and it turns out he's not a spy, he'll be in trouble.
"You should call the machine factory first. You should know Shouren, that kid. You know he's very important to the factory, and he's a prime target for spies. If no one's at the machine factory, then something really must have happened!" The old man frowned, mainly because he didn't have time to go to the machine factory to confirm.
"But what if he just bumped into something by accident?"
"Impossible!" Qin Jingru quickly said, "My husband is very strong, he won't bump into anything."
"This..." The head of the security department glanced at the old man.
"It's true, he's a trained fighter."
Upon hearing this, the head of the security department exclaimed, "Oh no, a martial arts expert! That's a much bigger problem!" The disappearance of a martial arts expert was unacceptable. Without hesitation, he immediately dialed the number of the machinery factory.
The gatehouse is staffed 24 hours a day.
After confirming with them that Wang Shouren was indeed not there.
They immediately connected with the factory manager and various relevant professional departments. (I won't list their names, just the departments~)
In an instant, the entire Jinxi... well, the entire steel rolling mill and machinery factory were in chaos. Eventually, they were directly connected to the ministry, and even the top leaders knew that one of their junior colleagues had gone missing—and, moreover, a junior colleague they had high hopes for. This was a serious matter; countless phone calls were made immediately.
Even Li Weiguo himself took to the field.
Before this, he had been catching spies, so he was very familiar with the work of these sewer rats.
The head of the local police station was completely bewildered. He had no idea what was going on. At first, it was alright; a division-level cadre came to talk to him about it, and they were at least polite. But later, it got more and more outrageous: a deputy director-general level official, a director-general level official, and even a secretary representing a ministerial level official—that was one thing. In the end, this high-ranking official even personally made a phone call to his superior.
Without saying a word, his superiors gave him a thorough dressing-down.
What does it mean to be at home when trouble comes knocking from the sky?
But regardless, he knew how important this person was. He immediately sent someone out.
Wang Shouren's daily route was actually easy to find. In no time, they found his location and saw the bicycle parked nearby. The police station chief quickly went over and examined the area: "There are signs of a fall here. It seems that two bicycles met at this corner. The other bicycle pretended to be hit to trick Wang Shouren into coming to investigate. Then they directly apprehended Wang Shouren."
The director made a judgment.
"Something's not right!" Li Weiguo narrowed his eyes slightly: "The other side has a gun."
"Wh...what?" The police station chief was stunned. He thought Li Weiguo was talking nonsense. Did he need to use a gun to arrest a technician?
But he doesn't mean that every spy of this era carried a gun.
"The one he arrested was almost as good as him in terms of fighting skills." Li Weiguo himself was also a martial artist, and he understood perfectly what the aura emanating from Wang Shouren represented. He looked at Director Wu: "Old Wu, is it possible that Wang Shouren was arrested and taken directly to the car?"
"Bullshit!" Wu cursed directly. "Wei Guo, I know you're powerful, but what do you think I am if I let a car in here?!"
"Then..." Before Li Weiguo could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out, piercing the darkness.
At this moment, Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu, who had come with a group of people to search for Wang Shouren, were stunned for a moment when they heard the gunshot, and then they excitedly tried to rush forward.
But they were stopped by an old man and an old man.
"No! Qin Huairu! Stop your sister! The officers are handling a case up ahead. If you go past them, you'll get arrested too." The old man was very experienced, but he also noticed something fishy.
It's understandable that Qin Jingru is so agitated, but what's with Qin Huairu looking like the sky has fallen?
Qin Huairu was brought to her senses by what the old man said. She grabbed Qin Jingru and pulled her into her arms, saying, "It's okay, it's okay, he's very capable."
Qin Jingru burst into tears: "Gun...they've even used guns..."
