Night fell, and a cold wind howled.
Old Sun organized a medical rescue team and rushed to Tongluo Lane in a military vehicle, only to be stopped by a group of people assigned by Li Deren: "Stop the car, there is an epidemic ahead, do not pass..."
"What? Who told you that the people in your planting base were infected with the plague? And who sent you, these well-meaning people, to maintain order?" Old Sun saw the group of eighteen women blocking the convoy. They were anxious to get to the planting base to save people, but he couldn't forcefully drive away the well-meaning people.
The elderly woman at the head of the group pointed to the red armband on her right arm and said, "We received instructions from the leaders of the street office to block anyone from entering Tongluo Lane and to block off the street."
To prevent the spread of the plague, everyone should turn around and go home!
"Wait, where are your neighborhood office leaders?" Surrounded by medical staff, Old Sun was huddled together when an old woman impatiently shooed them away, saying, "You're interfering with our work."
If everyone acted like you, causing trouble without any sense of responsibility, the source of the plague would spread here, harming even more people. Do you realize that?
"Yes, yes, yes, don't be ungrateful, hurry up and leave." An old woman who was leaning against the wall urged them to leave, and her daughter-in-law, who was also supporting her, chimed in, "You should leave now."
To be honest, everyone in our Tongluo Lane neighborhood is determined to sacrifice ourselves for the country and protect the source of the disease.
The neighborhood leaders are all out doing ideological work with the residents.
The people in Tongluo Lane are currently in a state of panic and chaos. Your disturbance here could easily incite panic among the residents, and if they run away, the source of the disease could be spread elsewhere.
Do you know the consequences?
That would bring disaster to all the people in the capital; you'd better leave quickly.
"Ah, no, we are medical staff, here to control the plague, no, to control the source of the disease..." Old Sun tried his best to explain.
Thirty-eight medical staff members, along with a platoon of soldiers escorting them, all volunteered to rush to the source area to save lives.
However, they came and went in a hurry, all of them were rescue teams ordered by their superiors, and they neglected to obtain the necessary certificates and letters of introduction.
This led to a forceful drive by the women, and Mr. Sun demanded to make a phone call to the neighborhood committee.
The old woman told Mr. Sun and the others that in order to control the source of the disease, all the people in Tongluo Lane cut off the telephone line, determined to live and die with the plague and serve the country.
Old Sun couldn't argue with them, so he could only arrange for someone to drive back to get a letter of introduction.
The reception room of the security department of the steel rolling mill was brightly lit.
Li Deren sat on the sofa drinking tea, while Hu Laiwang, who was accompanying him, offered him a cigarette and flattered him: "Director Li personally supported the overall situation, which is a great achievement."
Afterwards, Gao Sheng and the opportunity to secure Zheng Ya's initiation technique for our own people were easily obtained..."
"Alright, tell me the specifics of the planting base?" Li Deren noticed that his smile was fake and his eyes were gleaming with mischief, so he asked suspiciously.
As Hu Laiwang lit a cigarette for him, he laughed and said, "Haha, Director Li is so concerned about the country and its people; he should be a role model for our steel mill..."
"Xiao Hu, are you feeling guilty?" Li Deren realized something was wrong, stuck his cigarette on the coffee table, and asked through gritted teeth.
If you dare to frame me, I'll kill you.
Hu Laiwang's eyelids twitched as he stood up, bowed, and smiled obsequiously: "Director Li, you're too kind. We're all family..."
"Hu Laiwang, don't try to play tricks on me. I want to know who else you're calling your own people?" Li Deren stood up angrily and rebuked him.
Hu Laiwang waved away the right hand that was grabbing his collar, and sat down on the sofa with a sneer: "Tsk tsk tsk, your reaction is too slow, isn't it?"
"Damn it, you guys are taking advantage of my desire to get a spot for Zheng Ya's initiation technique, setting a trap for me?" Li Deren sat back down on the sofa in terror, numb with fear.
Li Deren had no idea what had happened at the planting base beforehand.
It's nothing.
The key point is that at this critical juncture, Li Deren received a call from his father-in-law, who told him that something had happened at Zheng Ya's planting base. He was told to seize this opportunity to befriend Zheng Ya, and anything was possible.
Because of Li Deren's father-in-law's special status, calling him to tip him off would be against the rules, so he hurriedly said a few words and hung up the phone.
This left Li Deren completely bewildered. Just then, Hu Laiwang came to him to report that the planting base had been infected with the plague. In addition, five women from Tongluo Lane came to ask for help. Li Deren believed them and immediately organized people to block off all the streets, arranged patrols, and guarded the area strictly.
Who would have thought it was all a trap?
Ignoring his anger, Hu Laiwang lit a cigarette, took three big puffs, blew smoke at Li Deren, and laughed: "Director Li, you not only organized people to intercept the medical rescue team sent by higher-level leaders to rescue the planting base."
Furthermore, a suicide squad was dispatched to infiltrate from behind Zheng Ya's planting base..."
"You son of a bitch, you deliberately framed me..." Li Deren jumped up and punched Hu Laiwang, but Hu Laiwang kicked him to the ground and made him roll around: "You stupid piece of trash, go play by yourself, hahaha."
"No, don't go, come back and explain yourself..." Li Deren scrambled to his feet in terror and chased after him, but was stopped inside by two clerks guarding the door of the security department's reception room: "Go back and stay there, unless you want to be beaten?"
"You, you guys, sob sob sob," Li Deren trembled with fear and burst into tears when he faced the two tall, burly men wielding steel bars.
At this moment, a fully armed 13-man squad circled around from the steel mill to the rear of the planting base, split into three groups, occupied the hilltop, and set up sniper observation points.
People at the planting base gathered inside and outside the canteen, busy providing first aid to those infected with the virus, seemingly unaware of the impending crisis.
Despite the intense itching all over her body and her distressed expression, Ouyang Wenqian walked closer to Fu Qingyao and said, "Section Chief, we don't have any disinfectant at our planting base, and the rescue team dispatched by our superiors hasn't arrived yet."
"If this continues, Liu Lan and the others will scratch their skin raw, and people will die..."
"Men, tie up all the seriously ill people and wait for the rescue team sent by our superiors. Our superiors will not stand idly by."
"Everyone should have confidence, trust the organization, and believe that we can overcome the virus and hold on until the rescue team dispatched by the higher authorities arrives to help us..." Fu Qingyao realized that she had also been infected with the virus. She was worried about returning to the courtyard house and infecting her daughter-in-law and unborn grandchildren. She was very anxious.
Ouyang Wenqian clenched her fists, itching all over, and asked, "Section Chief, when will the principal be back?"
"Sigh, he was ordered to go to India on a mission. I don't know what happened when he came back." Fu Qingyao shook her head and sighed.
Ouyang Wenqian said anxiously, "We still feel it's best to contact the principal..."
“No, he’s carrying out a mission personally assigned by his superiors. We can’t hold him back and delay important national affairs…” Fu Qingyao refused sternly, only to be met with a burst of wild laughter: “Hahaha, all of you, die…”
