Chapter 19
I'm sorry... Wu Tong's mind was full of these words, but he said, "I'm at home, getting ready for lunch... How about you?"
Xiao Yuncheng pinched his arm tightly with his nails, and blood slowly seeped out from between his fingers, but he seemed to feel no pain and said softly to the other end: "I've prepared it too. You have to eat well and eat nutritiously. You are too thin..."
Shi Qian was also heartbroken listening to this. Xiao Yuncheng told Shi Qian about the relationship between him and Wu Tong in the car. Faced with the current situation, Xiao Yuncheng could not change anything. When he heard Wu Tong's soft response of "I know", he wished he could rush in and catch the person out.
“······Well, then I’ll hang up?” Wu Tong said.
"good."
Wu Tong hung up the phone, put his hand on the back of his neck and twisted it left and right a few times. His neck made a crisp "click" sound, and his fingers followed the movement to reach under his collar and touched the positioning chip.
Shi Qian saw that the phone that Xiao Yuncheng had placed next to his ear had dropped, and he couldn't bear it and wanted to comfort him: "Brother, you..."
"Have you located it?" Xiao Yuncheng interrupted him coldly.
"Uh...it's positioning. It will take a minute to accurately position it. It will be ready soon!" Shi Qian changed his tone when he was about to say something.
Xiao Yuncheng just nodded and said nothing more. Shi Qian knew that it was useless to say anything now. Perhaps the problem would be solved after he met Wu Tong, although he didn't know why.
"Captain Xiao! We've pinpointed the location! It's 500 meters ahead!"
"Everyone, move!"
"Is the fight over?" Xu Ze came over from behind. Wu Tong turned around and said lightly, "Yes, it's over."
Xu Ze used the tip of his shoe to poke a few pebbles on the ground and asked him nonchalantly, "Who are you talking to?"
"Friend." Xiao Yuncheng's face instantly appeared in Wu Tong's mind, and he smiled unconsciously, but his smile was helpless and regretful.
Xu Ze didn't say anything else. He turned and walked towards Chen Hao. He reached behind his waist and pulled out a knife. He raised his eyebrows at Chen Hao and said, "Say...should I kill you now? Or should I let you see your father again?"
Chen Hao raised his head with great difficulty, his eyes were bloodshot and his pupils were almost invisible. He said hoarsely: "You can't..."
Xu Ze laughed, but there was not much smile in his eyes. Wu Tong also came over and looked at Chen Hao who was hanging on for life and said sarcastically: "Can we? Didn't you know it a long time ago?"
Xu Ze seemed to have remembered something, and mercifully said that he would let him go. Then he turned around, took Wu Tong's hand and said, "Tongtong, come with me."
Xu Ze led him through a jungle. The sun shone through the dense branches and leaves, creating several beams of light. They arrived at the door of a greenhouse. Wu Tong was curious: "What is this?"
"You'll know when you come in." Xu Ze raised his index finger mysteriously to his lips, gripped the door handle and pushed the door open—it turned out to be a whole greenhouse full of tea plants!
The snow-white camellia flowers were so dazzling under the sunlight that they seemed to be glowing. Wu Tong's eyes could not bear the strong light for a moment, so he raised his hand to block it. When he looked again, he saw Xu Ze standing in the flowers, smiling at Wu Tong. The young Xu Ze of twenty years ago appeared beside him, and his face seemed to overlap with his current one.
"Tongtong, are you willing to escape with me?"
Wu Tong looked at the boy in the tea-flower bushes. Traveling through time and space, he saw the two children depend on each other for survival twenty years ago. Little Xu Ze was also standing in the white tea-flower bushes, extending his hand to Wu Tong: "We will escape from here together!"
Wu Tong raised the corners of his mouth and opened his mouth.
"good."
"Group one, group two, get ready, jump!"
The special police hung the ropes on the roof, and at Xiao Yuncheng's command, they jumped down at the same time like dumplings!
Chen Hao was the first to see the police falling from the sky. He was so scared that his body twitched violently, and the iron frame behind him suddenly tilted forward, and Chen Hao fell face down on the ground.
"What's that sound?" Xu Ze looked outside the door in confusion. Wu Tong turned around and followed his gaze, and seemed to see several figures moving.
"Tsk, I found it right away."
Xu Ze immediately grabbed Wu Tong's hand and was about to run with him, but just as he walked out of the greenhouse, he was stopped by Xiao Yuncheng who suddenly appeared. Xiao Yuncheng raised a gun and pointed it at Xu Ze, almost gritting his teeth and saying, "Police, don't move!"
"Are you guys so slow?" Xu Ze raised his chin slightly and looked at Xiao Yuncheng provocatively, saying, "If it weren't for the fact that we wanted to mess with Chen Hao for a while longer, you wouldn't even be able to smell our exhaust."
Xiao Yuncheng tightened his grip on the butt of the gun. He turned his gaze to Wu Tong, who was also looking at him. Their eyes met, sparks flying in the air.
"You're surrounded by us." Xiao Yuncheng ignored Xu Ze's taunting and kept looking at Wu Tong. Xu Ze noticed their eye contact and couldn't help but tease, "What? Officer Xiao, are you surprised to see your friend involved?"
Xiao Yuncheng looked at Xu Ze again, and his serious expression suddenly relaxed. He raised the corner of his mouth calmly and said, "Of course not. On the contrary, it's expected."
Xu Ze frowned slightly when he heard this. At this moment, Lin Chen's voice came from Xiao Yuncheng's headset: "Captain Xiao, the suspect Chen Hao has been arrested. How is it going over there? We'll be there soon!"
At the critical moment, Wu Tong pushed Xu Ze hard and rushed towards Xiao Yuncheng!
"Captain Xiao!"
Xiao Yuncheng was also startled by Wu Tong's sudden action. He immediately came to his senses and shouted, "Don't shoot!"
Wu Tong suddenly threw Xiao Yuncheng to the ground and shouted to Xu Ze, "Go!"
Xu Ze looked at Wu Tong with a complicated expression, then turned around and disappeared into the bushes.
Wu Tong hugged Xiao Yuncheng tightly, and couldn't help but feel a sore nose. Xiao Yuncheng didn't struggle, just held him quietly. He could even feel Wu Tong trembling. Until the special police arrived and kicked Wu Tong away, Xiao Yuncheng looked at the special police in horror: "Don't..."
"Captain Xiao, are you okay?" The special police rushed up and handcuffed Wu Tong's hands. Wu Tong was in poor physical condition, and the kick just now almost knocked him unconscious. He was unconscious at this time.
Xiao Yuncheng felt indescribable sadness watching Wu Tong being taken away. He quickly stepped forward to stop the special police and said, "I'll take him away."
After putting Wu Tong in the car, Xiao Yuncheng noticed that Wu Tong looked much worse, as if he hadn't slept well. "You were smiling and saying goodbye to me yesterday, but you were caught today. Do you regret it?" Xiao Yuncheng thought.
Inside the Municipal Bureau.
"I also need talents to solve the case..."
"Bullshit!" Lin Chen shouted this sentence with almost all his strength.
"Do you fucking know that this is dereliction of duty?!"
Xiao Yuncheng certainly knew this. He sighed helplessly and said, "I am willing to accept any punishment."
"You fucking bastard..." Lin Chen pointed at Xiao Yuncheng angrily, but finally he restrained himself and put his hand down.
In the interrogation room, the police were huddled together, taking notes and looking for information, and they were very busy - because Wu Tong said that Chen Xiuping was not dead.
"The news of his death is fake. The body in Myanmar is a substitute. He fled to the border and left his son in the country." Wu Tong's lips turned pale. He no longer had the composure he had when he first came here. The change of identity made many police officers unbelievable. The consultant brought by Captain Xiao actually had such a close relationship with the case.
"Where did Xu Ze go? Tell me!"
Wu Tong shook his head: "Sorry, I don't know."
This question had been asked nearly ten times, but Wu Tong's answer remained unchanged. At the moment of stalemate, the door to the interrogation room opened, and Xiao Yuncheng walked in with one hand in his pocket. He waved to the police inside, signaling them to come out, and then walked up to Wu Tong.
"You've been lying to me, haven't you?" This is what Xiao Yuncheng said to Wu Tong in the car at the time. Wu Tong was leaning on the passenger seat and said with a mocking smile: "I'm not as innocent as you think."
At this time, the two faced each other again, and their states were completely different.
"Why do you do that?"
Xiao Yuncheng pulled out a chair and sat down, staring straight into Wu Tong's eyes. Wu Tong didn't shy away from looking at him and forced a smile: "I told you, revenge."
"Where is Chen Xiuping?"
"have no idea."
"Where is Xu Ze?"
"······have no idea."
Wu Tong was given a headache by these questions that were asked over and over again. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, his face full of fatigue.
Xiao Yuncheng flipped through the transcript and read the previous interrogation. After a long moment, he spoke again: "Who was the person who saved you back then?"
Wu Tong looked up at Xiao Yuncheng, seemingly puzzled by his question. Shi Qian, standing outside the window, asked Lin Chen, "Captain Xiao, what does this mean? I don't think we've asked this before."
Lin Chen looked inside with a serious expression and slowly said, "With Wu Tong's past experience, it would have been impossible for him to escape from that village. Someone saved him at that time."
Wu Tong's face looked a little bad. He frowned and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean."
"I think you should understand, Wu Tong."
A heavy voice sounded. Xiao Yuncheng did not turn around. The door behind him had been pushed open. A slightly bloated middle-aged man in a police uniform walked in at a leisurely pace.
Wu Tong tilted his head and looked at the strange policeman in front of him with confusion, as if he had no impression of him at all.
"Don't overthink it. You haven't seen me. I'm the director of the Nanwan City Public Security Bureau—Murong Tonghai."
The two words "Murong" pounded heavily into Wu Tong's memories. It pulled up the man who had long been buried in the smoke of gunpowder and stood in front of Wu Tong. There was a raging fire behind the man, but there was no panic on his face. However, Wu Tong knew that he was going to die.
The man turned around and looked at Wu Tong, then said with a smile, "Let's go, escape from here, and go back to where you should be—"
That person seems to be standing next to Murong Tonghai now. If you look closely, you will find that there is some similarity between their eyebrows and eyes.
"Murong..." Wu Tong choked with sobs, tears suddenly filling his eyes. He raised his head and tried hard to hold them back, mumbling helplessly, "You mean..."
"Murong Xu, my brother, was an undercover agent in a border village twenty years ago. He said at the time that he had rescued a pitiful child. He hoped the organization would take the child back to his homeland to live a stable life. He also told us the child's name, which was..."
Murong Tonghai's steady words echoed in the interrogation room. The only sounds in the room were his voice and Wu Tong's heavy breathing. Murong Tonghai paused, looked at Wu Tong and said, "His name is Wu Tong."
"I'm sorry..." Wu Tong's inner defenses were finally broken. He buried his head, tears dripping uncontrollably. Wu Tong tried desperately to wipe them away, because he could no longer see the person who had risked his life to save him.
"Wu Tong, when I heard that my brother had died at the border, I was just like you. I didn't dare cry out loud. Even though I felt so wronged, I didn't have the chance to speak out."
Murong Tonghai walked to Wu Tong's side. Wu Tong raised his head. The person in front of him seemed to have transformed into the appearance in his memory. He said to him, "I believe you can get out of this."
