Chapter 40
"Turn left, there's an open space there. Captain Xiao, let's meet there."
After Shi Qian finished explaining the positioning and the work, he quickly led his men into action. Xiao Yuncheng adjusted the positioning and drove out with Wu Tong.
The phone kept ringing with messages, and Wu Tong read them out one by one for him. Xiao Yuncheng started laughing while he was reading. Wu Tong was very dissatisfied and simply stopped reading to express his protest. Xiao Yuncheng was in the mood to tease him, and said with a hint of ridicule: "Our little painter has a temper too~"
"If you say that again, I won't pay any attention to you." Wu Tong winked at him.
Chen Xiuping's base was not far from the village, and it only took 30 minutes to drive there. Wu Tong unscrewed the water bottle for him as Xiao Yuncheng asked and handed it to his mouth. Xiao Yuncheng drank the water contentedly without moving his eyes away from the front, and teased Wu Tong a few times.
Arriving at the destination, everyone arranged their tactics and waited for support to arrive. It was almost time to start the encirclement and suppression. Xiao Yuncheng, as part of the reconnaissance team, went first to investigate the enemy situation. Wu Tong helped him put on his bulletproof vest and looked up at Xiao Yuncheng's gentle gaze: "Be careful."
Xiao Yuncheng smiled back at him, turned around and waved to everyone, then walked towards the old factory with the five people.
It was a dark and windy night, and the human figures were hidden in the darkness, unpredictable and elusive. In the pitch dark place, everyone knew that there was a tough battle to be fought behind the scenes.
Xiao Yuncheng quietly slipped behind the container, stuck his head out to observe, and then gestured forward behind him. The group walked almost silently, like snakes hiding in the dark, moving quickly but silently.
Wu Tong was holding the walkie-talkie and listening to Xiao Yuncheng's instructions, his brows slightly frowned. Shi Qian knew that Wu Tong had not eaten for a long time, so he specially bought a dinner for Wu Tong according to the menu arranged by Xiao Yuncheng.
Wu Tong was originally thinking of going to find some water to drink, but when he turned around, he saw Shi Qian standing behind him with a lunch box.
Wu Tong: "Are you...hungry?"
Shi Qian: "No, you are hungry."
Wu Tong: "I didn't say that?"
Shi Qian: "Captain Xiao said so."
"······" Wu Tong had nothing to say, so he took the bag from Shi Qian's hand and put the lunch box on the table.
But Shi Qian still didn't leave. He still stood beside Wu Tong and looked at him. Wu Tong was a little confused: "What's wrong? Are you hungry too? Do you want to eat together?"
Shi Qian laughed when he saw Wu Tong had misunderstood him. He put his arm around Wu Tong's shoulders and said, "Captain Xiao told you to eat well and told me to make sure you finish."
Wu Tong: “…”
Wu Tong smiled helplessly and invited Shi Qian to eat with him, saying that they couldn't finish the food. Shi Qian happily agreed. The two of them ate the takeaway together, but Shi Qian didn't think it was very appetizing - it was too bland!
How can people eat so blandly???
Little Shi Qian and a big question mark.
Wu Tong noticed his hidden complaint about the meal and said with a smile, "I can't eat anything too strong. If you're not used to it, how about I order another portion?"
Shi Qian said cheerfully that it was not necessary, and then said goodbye to Wu Tong and went to do something. Wu Tong slowly put a piece of boiled lettuce dipped in soy sauce into his mouth, chewing while looking at the movement map of Xiao Yuncheng and the others.
Xiao Yuncheng and the others were still moving, and Wu Tong felt a little bored. He looked around but didn't see any familiar people around. There was nothing he could do, so he could only continue staring at the screen.
Suddenly, Xiao Yuncheng's speed changed. Wu Tong thought something was wrong, but the voice coming from the headset startled them all: "There's nothing in the factory."
"No one?"
"No." Xiao Yuncheng was also in disbelief. They kept infiltrating, but there was really no one there. Xiao Yuncheng suspected that they had run away, and the others could not deny it.
But Wu Tong felt something was wrong, and the feeling of his heart being blocked came up again. Wu Tong put his hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat. It seemed that his heartbeat was in sync with Xiao Yuncheng's. Wu Tong's heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
"Xiao Yuncheng..."
Xiao Yuncheng heard Wu Tong's insecure call, and he lowered his voice and said, "It's okay, Tongtong, I'll be done soon."
But Wu Tong was still worried after hearing this, so he found Shi Qian and asked, "Can I join the investigation?"
Shi Qian looked troubled, and after pondering for a long time, he said, "It seems that this is not possible..."
"I'm quite familiar with the structure of this factory. I came here many times when I was a child. I think..." Wu Tong hesitated for a moment, then expressed his guess: "I think there's a problem."
Lin Chen had just finished the handover and was stunned when he heard Wu Tong's words. Shi Qian had no idea that Lin Chen had walked behind him and his shoulder was unexpectedly touched.
Lin Chen said, "Wu Tong, we have rules when we go on missions. Please forgive me. If you have any questions, please talk to Shi Qian first."
Wu Tong gave Lin Chen an ambiguous look, but finally agreed. He told Shi Qian all his guesses, so Shi Qian didn't have time to react for a moment: "...what did you say?"
"This is why I want to participate." Wu Tong's eyes were firm, but the chaotic heartbeat betrayed his calm appearance.
Shi Qian realized the seriousness of the matter, but due to organizational regulations, Wu Tong could not participate. Shi Qian had tried his best to communicate with the investigators, and everyone planned an escape route as quickly as possible.
In an office, Xu Ze held a cup of hot tea in his hand. He put the cup to his lips and blew on it a few times, but didn't take a sip. He tilted his head and asked outside the door, "Is Tongtong in there?"
"Mr. Wu is not inside. Only a few people have come in so far."
Xu Ze frowned slightly after hearing this. He stood up and walked towards the door. Outside the door was a tall monitoring room screen. On the screen, Xiao Yuncheng and several other policemen appeared without reservation. Xu Ze chuckled, pointed at Xiao Yuncheng on the screen, and said, "I want this man dead."
"yes."
Xiao Yuncheng stood in the dark factory, listening carefully to the orders given to them by the control center. Xiao Yuncheng frowned as he listened to their words. The others did not dare to speak, but just looked at Xiao Yuncheng silently, waiting for his orders.
Wu Tong's voice came from the earphone, and Xiao Yuncheng's heart trembled. Wu Tong's voice sounded so unreal, and every word was transmitted to Xiao Yuncheng's ears: "Yuncheng, you guys hurry up and come out now, you might have been tricked!"
"What?" Xiao Yuncheng didn't dare to make any loud noise, so he could only try his best to suppress his voice and ask Wu Tong: "What's going on?"
"Xu Ze used to do the same to Chen Xiuping. He might... repeat it to you." Wu Tong's voice trembled unconsciously, but he tried his best to hold it back. His tone was even more unyielding: "Come out quickly, he might be watching you!"
Xiao Yuncheng no longer hesitated. He waved to the police behind him, and they now returned according to the route given by the control center.
Wu Tong returned the walkie-talkie to Shi Qian and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He sat back in his original chair, but the scary thing was that Wu Tong's uneasiness still did not subside. Wu Tong's sense of danger was too accurate, so Wu Tong always believed in his own feelings.
Seeing that his uneasy mood still hadn't subsided, Wu Tong tried hard to recall what else could have caused Xiao Yuncheng to be in danger. Unexpectedly, Wu Tong was almost dying of anxiety.
"Report, we are now preparing to leave the factory..."
"Scout team, move in a straight line, out the door."
Everyone was busy, and the hurried footsteps echoed in Wu Tong's mind, overlapping with what he saw when he was a child. Wu Tong suddenly opened his eyes, the door!
Sure enough, just as Wu Tong stood up, he heard Xiao Yuncheng's anxious and surprised voice coming from the intercom: "The gate is sealed!"
"Quick, reinforcements!"
This time they were really panicked and everyone was busy as a wheel. Now Xiao Yuncheng and five other policemen were trapped in the factory. No one dared to think about what they would encounter next. They just wanted to rescue people as soon as possible.
Xiao Yuncheng kicked the door hard. With a dull thud, the door didn't move at all. Xiao Yuncheng asked everyone to come together, but the door was still locked tightly. Xiao Yuncheng then realized that he had been tricked.
"Captain Xiao, what should we do?..." one of them asked. Xiao Yuncheng couldn't think of a solution at the moment, so he just asked them to wait patiently.
Xiao Yuncheng walked to the front of the gate and raised his hand to press against it. The door was made of pure iron and was very hard. It was almost impossible to kick it open with human power. Xiao Yuncheng sighed and took a few steps back.
"Captain Xiao, how about we try shooting?"
Xiao Yuncheng shook his head when he heard this. Shooting might really work, but the enemy is now in the dark, and they don't know if there are other people here. Shooting rashly is equivalent to exposing themselves to the enemy's gun. They can't take this risk.
Now they can only wait for rescue to break down the door. Xiao Yuncheng and the others are essentially locked in this factory.
Shi Qian quickly ordered the rescue to start. Wu Tong's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, so fast that his mind began to feel dizzy. The sound of his heartbeat covered all other sounds, boom, boom, boom...
Watch carefully.
Xu Ze raised the corner of his lips, raised his hand, and slightly hooked his index finger——
Beep, beep—
Xiao Yuncheng looked back vigilantly, and several people also became nervous, holding their guns tightly and pointing the muzzles at the dark chest.
"What's going on?" Shi Qian's voice came, and Xiao Yuncheng said in a deep voice: "Something made a noise."
"Rescue will be here soon, just hold on a little longer... Is anyone here?"
"No," Xiao Yuncheng's expression turned cold, and his tone was terrifyingly gloomy: "There is a bomb here."
The same place, the same means, Wu Tong was stunned where he was. This was no different from the previous scene, but the difference was that the person inside was the most important to him. The phone vibrated at an inopportune time, and Wu Tong's only sense was captured by the movement. He picked up the phone stiffly. It was still the same SMS number. The phone was not unlocked, and the text message lay there quietly and dangerously.
Want to see how I did it?
No, I don’t want to... Wu Tong thought desperately.
Wu Tong's mind went blank, but his body started moving uncontrollably!
Shi Qian was anxiously giving orders when he suddenly heard a scream. He was about to turn around and scold, but he saw Wu Tong taking the police's gun with a cold and empty look in his eyes. Without saying anything, he rushed out the door.
"Wu Tong!"
