He said he was going to take a nap, but in fact, Shi Jin only lay down for half an hour before getting up. He washed and changed his clothes carefully, stared at the remaining clothes of Lian Jun in the closet for a while, then picked up the backpack that Lian Jun had packed for him, and left the small building without looking back.
The mountain was cold and damp in the winter morning, and there was fog. Shi
Jin stepped onto the wooden bridge over the pond, raised his wrist to check his watch, estimated in his mind the time it would take to climb to the top of the mountain from here, and tilted his head to look in the direction of the top of the mountain.
It was almost an hour, if Lian Jun really wanted to climb the mountain, he should have reached the top of the mountain by now... Unfortunately, with such heavy fog, the sunrise should not be visible.
Xiao Si suddenly spoke up: "Come in, do you want to refresh the buff? You will see more clearly."
"No need." Shi Jin leaned on the bridge railing, retracted his sight, looked down at the thin layer of ice on the pond surface, and said, "I just want to stand here for a while, I don't want to see anything."
Who would want to see the scene of their lover leaving.
Time passed by minute by minute, and about a quarter of an hour later, Lian Jun's progress bar showed a significant decline. Shi Jin
's heart skipped a beat, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he looked at the direction of the top of the mountain again, then stood up and walked towards the main road of the villa.
"Jinjin, where are you going?" Xiaosi asked anxiously, "Don't run around, be careful not to miss the people that Baobei arranged to pick you up."
"No." Shi Jin shook his head, stepped onto the main road leaving the villa, and looked in the direction of the villa gate, "I just want to go to the door to greet them."
...
Shi Jin's greeting took him directly to the downhill road.
When a whole row of vehicles with a certain military district number printed on them appeared in the field of vision, he stopped, raised his wrist and looked at his watch again.
At half past eight, the arresting team came faster than he expected. Had they been lying in ambush at the foot of the mountain?
He glanced at Lian Jun's progress bar in his mind, which began to slowly increase again, and his palms were a little sweaty.
Lian Jun should no longer be on the mountain now...
"Come in..." Xiao Si called out worriedly.
"It's okay." He said, putting his hands in the pockets of his down jacket, comforting Xiao Si and himself, "Lian Jun will be fine."
Squeak -
the convoy approached, and the leading car stopped in front of Shi Jin. Liu Zhenjun poked his head out from the back seat of the car, glanced at Shi Jin, then glanced behind Shi Jin, and asked: "Where is Lian Jun? Why are you here alone?" Shi
Jin tried to keep a nonchalant look, looked up at him, and replied, "Lian Jun is still in the villa. I returned to school today, and his legs were inconvenient and he couldn't take me, so I walked down by myself and prepared to take a taxi to the foot of the mountain. Major General Liu, why are you here, do you have something to do with Lian Jun?"
Liu Zhenjun frowned and said, "Shi Jin, don't play dumb."
"I'm not playing dumb." Shi Jin moved his hands in his pockets and asked back, "Why should I play dumb? You ask, I answer, it's such a normal conversation, how can I play dumb?"
Liu Zhenjun frowned even more, suddenly stretched out his hand to open the car door from the inside, and gestured: "Get in the car, take me to see Lian Jun."
"I won't get in, I want to go to school." Shi Jin retracted his gaze and made a gesture to continue walking down the mountain.
Wow.
A dozen people suddenly got out of the cars parked behind at once. After getting out of the car, they immediately dispersed tacitly, blocking Shi Jin's way down the mountain.
Shi Jin stopped and his expression became tense.
Liu Zhenjun got out of the car, looked at his back and said, "Shi Jin, now everyone at the foot of the mountain is my people. They have blocked all the entrances and exits of the mountain. No one will be let out without my order. Zhang Zhuoyuan has also arranged people to guard all the major traffic checkpoints in City B. Don't let me say it again, get in the car."
Shi Jin closed his eyes tightly, glanced at Lian Jun's progress bar which was still slowly increasing, turned around and came to Liu Zhenjun, looked at him, brushed past him, and got in the car he was in.
"Jinjin, your progress bar has also started to increase." Xiao Si said worriedly.
"It's okay." Shi Jin comforted it in his heart, and looked sideways at the scenery outside the mountain road, "You must trust Lian Jun."
Liu Zhenjun got into the car one step later, sat next to him, and said to the driver in the driver's seat: "Drive, go to the small building where Lian Jun lives."
...
Shi Jin was brought back to the small building again. He insisted on not entering the door. He squatted by the pond, picked up a branch, and poked the thin ice on the surface of the pond like a child.
The people brought by Liu Zhenjun quickly searched the small building, but naturally found nothing. Liu Zhenjun frowned, came behind Shi Jin, and asked: "Where did Lian Jun go? When did he leave? Which direction did he go from?" Shi
Jin didn't say anything, but the strength of poking the ice surface increased a little.
"There were traces of a fire at the entrance of the small building, a broken small safe next to it, several batteries in the trash can in the living room, and traces of tidying up the study upstairs. What did you burn? And what did you tidy up?" Liu Zhenjun continued to ask.
This time Shi Jin answered, without turning his head, he said: "I just roasted a few sweet potatoes to eat. The safe was broken, so it was thrown away. There was nothing in the study itself."
"Student Shi Jin, please answer my questions directly!" Liu Zhenjun emphasized, "This is an order!" Shi Jin
's hand holding the branch froze, paused, lowered his head and threw it away, stood up and clapped his hands, turned to face Liu Zhenjun, raised his hand and saluted, and replied: "Yes, sir."
Liu Zhenjun looked at his face full of resistance and defense, and remembered his confidence and liveliness at the first half of the year. His mood became complicated. He frowned, slowed down his voice and asked: "Where did Lian Jun go? When did he leave? Which direction did he go? Shi Jin, answer it well My question, I don't want to embarrass you."
Shi Jin put down his saluting hand, took a look at Lian Jun's progress bar, and saw that it had risen to 800. He clenched his teeth, raised his eyes to meet Liu Zhenjun's, and said: "He said he wanted to climb the mountain alone to watch the sunrise. When I got up, he was gone, and I don't know when he left. There are several ways to go up the mountain in this villa, and I don't know which way he will go up the mountain."
Lian Jun specifically told him the information about climbing the mountain before he left. I think these should be said - believe in Lian Jun, believe in Lian Jun. He hypnotized himself, forcing himself not to pay attention to Lian Jun's progress bar.
Liu Zhenjun frowned upon hearing this and said, "How could Lian Jun, a disabled person, go hiking by himself? Shi Jin, don't joke with me, everything you say now will be recorded in the files, don't ruin your future for a criminal."
"Criminal?" Shi Jin couldn't help but ask back, his emotions gradually becoming uncontrollable, "So you have been relying on the power of a criminal? You are killing the donkey after you have done your job and destroying the bridge after crossing the river. Major General Liu, I didn't think you were the kind of person who would do such a thing!"
Liu Zhenjun found it difficult to look him in the eye, and whispered, "Shi Jin!"
"I'm telling the truth!" Shi Jin also raised his voice, raising his thorns, "This is what he told me, he wants to go up the mountain to watch the sunrise! Other than that, I have nothing to tell you!"
Liu Zhenjun frowned and stared at him, and finally took a deep breath to suppress his emotions, called his subordinates, and ordered, "Send someone to search the mountain, and then take Shi Jin to the car and guard him--"
"Where are you taking Shi Jin?"
A strange male voice suddenly sounded not far away. Liu Zhenjun looked up, and then after seeing the face of the visitor clearly, his expression became ugly for a moment, and asked, "Chairman Wang, why are you here?"
"This is clearly the question I want to ask you. You are a general in the navy. Why are you here instead of staying at your own place?" Chairman Wang walked up to the two men and stopped, looking dissatisfied. "Isn't it my job to arrest Lian Jun? What happened to Zhang Zhuoyuan? Why did I ask you to come?"
Liu Zhenjun's face darkened and he said, "I am just following the orders from above to assist Zhang Zhuoyuan in handling various matters related to the violent organization. These are all documented. Doesn't Chairman Wang know?"
"That's an old document. The new document hasn't been issued yet, right?" Chairman Wang took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to him, saying meaningfully, "Don't act rashly. Some controversial issues haven't been discussed yet."
Liu Zhenjun realized something and quickly picked up the document and flipped through it. Then his expression became very interesting and he said, "This, this..."
"You have your superiors, I have mine, and the economic departments also have their superiors. When the hidden dangers were still great, everyone was of course united in wanting to eradicate the cancer, but after it was eradicated, differences arose. The grassroots people still need to eat, and those who were bewitched by violent organizations and have finally turned over a new leaf also need places to educate and resettle them. Now there are quarrels in every province and every place, and the matter has not really been resolved. If you really eliminate the source, there may be other troubles in the future. I hope you will also consider the positions of the various follow-up departments and not just rush forward." Chairman Wang suddenly changed his attitude to a earnest and earnest one, and spoke to Liu Zhenjun in an official tone, crying about his difficulties.
Veins popped out of Liu Zhen's forehead when he heard this. He clenched the materials tightly and suddenly looked at Shi Jin. Shi Jin
turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery. According to the progress bar that suddenly stopped increasing, he guessed that this Chairman Wang who appeared out of nowhere should be the person arranged by Lian Jun to pick him up. With the other party around, he should not talk nonsense and just watch the show.
"Major General Liu, why are you looking at the students? I'm talking to you about serious business." Chairman Wang blocked Shi Jin.
Liu Zhenjun frowned and retracted his gaze. He secretly hated Zhang Zhuoyuan's unreliability and was even more angry at the people above who were twisting and turning. He stuffed the materials into Chairman Wang's arms with a fierce face and said, "What do you want to do?"
Chairman Wang didn't care about his rude treatment. He sorted the materials out and put them back in the bag and said, "There's nothing I can do. Since Zhang Zhuoyuan has asked you to do it, I won't take your job away. You continue to do what you want to do, be lenient when necessary and be strict when necessary. As for this innocent student, I'll take him away first."
What should be lenient when necessary and be strict when necessary? It was obviously asking him to go easy on him and not be too serious about the search for Lian Jun!
Liu Zhenjun recalled the content of the materials he had just seen, and his expression almost twisted again. He looked at Shi Jin, but didn't say anything. He called his subordinates, walked around them, and led people to search the mountain.
"It's down, your progress bar is starting to go down! The increase in the baby's progress bar has also stopped." Xiao Si said in surprise.
Shi Jin felt a little relieved and turned his head to look at Chairman Wang.
Chairman Wang smiled at him very amiably, took out a slightly flattened paper bag and bags of soy milk from his bag, handed them to him and said, "Here, Mr. Lian repeatedly asked me to bring them to you. It's a little cold, eat it."
A man who had just been speaking in an official tone suddenly took out a breakfast from his bag in a amiable manner. What a contrast... Shi Jin paused, reached out to take the breakfast and thanked him.
"Then come with me. I'll take you to school. This time, as an undercover police agent, you successfully entered the top management of the Destroyer, bewitched the leader of the Destroyer, and made the Destroyer and several other large organizations destroy themselves. Your contribution is very great. I have to arrange a reward for you." Commissioner Wang greeted Shi Jin. Shi Jin
tightened his grip on the soy milk and squeezed all the soy milk out of the mouth he had just bitten, splashing it all over himself. He said stupidly, "What? Me? Undercover?"
"Yes, undercover." Chairman Wang smiled, took out a pack of tissues and gave it to him, saying, "However, because your undercover mission this time will have a huge impact, we will not openly include it in your files or announce it to the public. But don't worry, we will not reduce your rewards, and you don't have to worry about retaliation. We will include you in the important person protection system and give your resume and files a major update. You can study with peace of mind. As long as you don't commit serious crimes in the future, no one will dare to touch you."
Shi Jin took the tissue stupidly, took out a piece of paper and wiped the soy milk on his clothes. As he wiped, his movements slowed down, his nose felt sore, his eyes reddened, and he turned his head away.
Lian Jun actually arranged such a way out for him. What he said before he left about making him a hero was not just to coax him. Undercover? Lian Jun could come up with this idea. He thought that even if he was not held responsible this time, he would still be severely punished.
"Why did you help Lian Jun?" He raised his hand and wiped his face, adjusting his mood by chatting.
Chairman Wang looked at his red eyes and said, "To be honest, I am not helping Lian Jun, but Zhang Zhuoyuan. It seems that the extinction is over now. It is not like other large organizations. The main body is dead, but there are still a lot of offline organizations below, which will cause endless troubles. But this is only on the surface. What about in secret? Now Zhang Zhuoyuan has only cleared out the top few large organizations and broke the old situation. It will take time to deal with those small and medium-sized organizations below. What if there are one or two Lian Juns secretly hiding in those small and medium-sized organizations? The nails that were placed, and those capable subordinates under Lian Jun, only one or two are still alive... I can't bear to think about it, I can't sleep well when I think about it. Zhang Zhuoyuan is a stubborn person. He has been concentrating on doing one thing for too long. The pressure and burden in his heart gradually made him irrational. He didn't understand that those truly smart people are really only suitable for being recruited and cannot be killed quickly. "Shi Jin
was shocked when he heard it. He didn't know whether the chairman really knew something and was testing him with words, or was just guessing. He didn't dare to respond casually. He lowered his head, took out the buns from the paper bag, and ate them silently.
"Actually, I'm quite happy that Lian Jun has someone like you by his side." Chairman Wang suddenly changed the subject, smiled and raised his hand to pat his shoulder, "With you here, I don't have to worry about what Lian Jun will do. Young man, work hard, I think you are a good material for being a policeman!" After all
, these people are still afraid that Lian Jun still has other tricks up his sleeve, and they are afraid that if they really force Lian Jun into a desperate situation, Lian Jun will stir up another storm. And for the official, he is probably a good tool to limit the threat to Lian Jun.
It's good this way, the more the official is afraid of Lian Jun, the safer Lian Jun will be.
Shi Jin lowered his eyes and stuffed three or two buns into his mouth, puffed up his cheeks, pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled at Chairman Wang.
Chairman Wang also laughed and said, "But what if, I mean what if, you and Lian Jun can still talk, can you help us say something good to Lian Jun? He is really good at doing business, and his foundation is so strong. After those violent organizations are cleared out, there will be those extra idle people in society, and there will be abandoned industries everywhere, someone has to clean up." He actually
wanted Lian Jun to help clean up the broken stalls, which is really making the best use of it.
Shi Jin mocked in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and smiled at him again.
...
After breakfast, Shi Jin did not leave with Chairman Wang immediately, but insisted on waiting until the results of the mountain search came out. Chairman Wang did not make things difficult for him, agreed to his request, and waited with him in a very good temper.
An hour later, the results of Liu Zhenjun's mountain search came out - the search team found Lian Jun's wheelchair on the top of the mountain, and speculated that Lian Jun committed suicide by jumping off the mountain.
Lian Jun's progress bar dropped to 400 the moment the result came out. Shi Jin's clenched fingers slowly loosened, and he lowered his head to hide his expression - it dropped to 400, which proved that Lian Jun was no longer in direct danger of life. The only thing left was whether he could successfully escape and change his identity.
"Let's go." Chairman Wang stood up and said, "This should be the final result."
Shi Jin also stood up.
Seeing this, Liu Zhenjun hurriedly called Shi Jin, his wrinkled brows slightly relaxed, and he said slowly: "If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can always come to me."
Chairman Wang raised his eyebrows, stopped and looked back and forth at them.
Shi Jin was a little surprised. He looked at Liu Zhenjun and saw that his eyes were sincere and not fake. He relaxed a little and replied politely: "Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary." In his current position, except for Xiang Aoting, he'd better not have any private contact with official people.
"Let's go." Chairman Wang retracted his gaze and urged. Shi Jin
responded in a low voice, nodded to Liu Zhenjun, turned around and followed him out.
Liu Zhenjun looked at Shi Jin's back, his eyes gradually became complicated, and finally he sighed deeply.
