The next day was Gao Yan's day off.
The special department did not give up its investigation on him and continued to send people to keep an eye on him, only this time it was a man and a woman.
This made Gao Yan feel a little frustrated.
If they're watching him, how can he get to Zhao Jingchu's place?
"Should we continue to teach them a lesson?"
"Should we shake them off?"
Gao Yan pondered to himself.
Suddenly, Gao Yan had an idea and thought of a way to kill someone by using someone else.
However, this requires the help of Lao Xu's identity.
So, the Eye of Insight was activated, and it looked towards Shichahai.
He was lucky; Old Xu was also at Shichahai today—a typical case of someone who's bad at the game but has a strong addiction.
So Gao Yan carried a bucket and a fishing rod, rode his bicycle out of the courtyard, and headed straight for Shichahai.
"He's heading out, keep up!"
The two people keeping watch exchanged a glance, pretended to be passersby, and followed Gao Yan on their bicycles.
A short while later.
Gao Yan arrived at Shichahai and found a seat next to Lao Xu.
Old Xu was quite happy to see Gao Yan arrive.
So the two chatted while fishing.
A few minutes later, Gao Yan glanced casually behind him and whispered, "Old Xu, there's a couple about a hundred meters behind us acting strangely!"
How did you find out?
Old Xu asked.
Gao Yan laughed and said, "I'm a martial artist, so I'm quite sensitive to eyes. These two have been spying on us. Do you think they might be enemy agents, after all, they're the Minister of Metallurgy. Assassinating you would be a great achievement!"
Upon hearing this, Lao Xu felt a chill run down his spine, but he calmly waved to the guards not far away.
The guards arrived as ordered.
Old Xu gave some instructions in a low voice, and the guard quickly left!
About 10 minutes later.
The guards called the guard platoon, and the man and woman were quickly arrested and taken away!
The captain was dumbfounded when he received the call again.
Yesterday, Liu Jun and Zhang Peng were arrested by the hunting team and sent to the Public Security Bureau. Today, two more people were sent there, but they were arrested again, this time by the guard platoon of the Minister of Metallurgical Industry!
Since this matter involved Minister Xu, he couldn't directly ask for the person, so he had to report it to his superiors.
Two hours later.
Special department, the director's office!
"Chief, it seems the investigation into Gao Weiguo can't proceed!" Captain Ye Feng said with a wry smile.
What's the reason?
"I asked Director Chen Heshan."
Ye Feng explained, "Gao Weiguo and Minister Xu are close friends despite their age difference. Today, when our people were following Gao Weiguo, it caused a misunderstanding with Minister Xu's guards."
They brought in the guard platoon and arrested the man I had sent to keep watch.
Later, although the misunderstanding was cleared up and the man was released, Minister Xu was very dissatisfied with our actions and stated that Gao Weiguo was innocent, clearly not wanting us to continue investigating him!
"Okay, I'll think about it some more!" Chen Heshan nodded.
Twenty minutes later.
Chen Heshan arrived at the office of a certain leader.
"Greetings, Commander!"
"Please sit down, Xiao Chen. What brings you here today?"
"Sir, something unexpected has happened regarding the matter you instructed us to handle!"
"What accident?"
Chen Heshan dared not hide anything and recounted what had happened that day, hinting that if they continued to send people to follow Gao Weiguo, it would likely incur Minister Xu's displeasure!
The commander, surnamed Lin, pondered for a moment and said, "Then cancel this mission. I'll handle the contact with Lao Xu!"
That noon.
Chief Lin arrived at the Ministry of Metallurgy where Lao Xu worked.
After chatting for a while, Commander Lin handed the special operations report to Lao Xu, gesturing for him to look at it.
After watching.
Old Xu nodded approvingly: "This special operations plan is excellent and worth a try!"
So you support this plan too?
Chief Lin smiled.
"Old Lin, I'm not a member of the military anymore, what do you mean by that?" Old Xu asked, puzzled.
"I'd like to borrow someone from you!"
Chief Lin said.
Immediately, Old Xu became more wary. As the saying goes, no one visits a temple without a reason. Old Lin's sudden visit and the fact that he showed him this report was not normal.
It's even more abnormal that they're asking him to borrow people now.
So he asked, "Whom do you want to borrow?"
"Gao Weiguo!"
Chief Lin knew that Lao Xu was not so easily fooled, so he stopped trying to play tricks and directly said Gao Yan's name!
"Gao Weiguo?"
A look of doubt appeared on Old Xu's face: "Why do you need him?"
"Because he was the one who proposed this special operations plan, and he is also a martial arts master. With him, the plan can be twice as effective!"
Hearing Lao Lin's words, Lao Xu was invigorated; that kid was even more outstanding than he had imagined.
But he shook his head: "Old Lin, although Gao Weiguo and I have some acquaintance, he is not one of my men, and I can't control him!"
Old Xu isn't stupid. He must have sent someone from Old Lin's side to look for that kid, but the kid probably rejected them, so they came to him instead!
"So, Lao Xu, what do you think of Gao Weiguo? Is he trustworthy?"
Old Lin asked again.
In fact, he had already obtained all the information about Gao Yanming. He sent people to investigate, but he just didn't want to make any mistakes. However, now that the other party and Lao Xu were close friends despite their age difference, he also knew Lao Xu quite well.
Since Lao Xu is willing to be friends with him, then it's almost certain that Gao Weiguo is a good person!
"He's definitely someone you can trust!"
