Standing outside the waiting hall, Xu Jianguo looked at the ticket in his hand and found that the departure time was 6:30 tomorrow morning. He suddenly felt depressed.
Originally he could have gone directly to Jingzhou, but according to Ma Guoliang's arrangement, someone would go to the train station to pick him up.
So he could only be obedient and take the train to Jingzhou according to the procedures.
"Forget it, let's just make the best of it!" Xu Jianguo thought to himself, then he found a deserted place and slipped into the space.
After taking a quick shower, he crawled into bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning at 5:30, Xu Jianguo woke up on time, washed up, and ate the breakfast prepared by Du Yu. Then he appeared at the Bingcheng Railway Station again.
Time soon came to half past six. Xu Jianguo queued up to enter the station with his train ticket, quickly boarded the train, and found his berth.
At this time, there were already three people in the bedroom where he was. Listening to what they were saying, Xu Jianguo guessed that they were colleagues from the Bingcheng Grain Bureau.
Just when the three were chatting happily, Xu Jianguo walked into the bedroom, which made the three of them stunned and turned to look at Xu Jianguo.
Xu Jianguo nodded at them without saying anything, then took off his shoes and jumped onto his own bunk on the upper bunk.
The three people sitting on the lower bunk looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They wanted to talk to Xu Jianguo, but when they saw that he was wearing a military uniform and had an expression that said "keep away from strangers", they immediately gave up the idea.
Finally, the older of the three whispered to the other two, "That guy probably has a mission. Let's not cause trouble. Just be quiet."
When the other two heard this, they also felt that what he said made sense, so they nodded to show that they understood.
With Xu Jianguo's hearing ability, he heard every word of the conversation between the three people. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly, thinking that his goal had been achieved.
Twenty-eight hours later, Xu Jianguo jumped off the berth and, ignoring the other three people in the compartment, walked quickly out of the carriage.
Following the crowd out of the station, Xu Jianguo stood there looking around, and soon found a paper sign with his name on it among the crowd of people coming to pick him up.
He walked over quickly and found that the person who came to pick him up was a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit.
"Hello, I'm Xu Jianguo!" Xu Jianguo came to the man and spoke.
The man was startled by the sudden appearance of Xu Jianguo. He looked Xu Jianguo over and said, "Hello, Comrade Xu Jianguo, could you please show me your ID?"
Xu Jianguo handed his officer ID to the middle-aged man. After the middle-aged man checked it and found nothing wrong, he returned it to Xu Jianguo. Then he extended his hand and said with a smile, "Comrade Xu Jianguo, welcome to Jingzhou."
Xu Jianguo stretched out his hand and shook his hand, then said, "Let's go!"
The middle-aged man nodded and took Xu Jianguo away from Jingzhou Railway Station.
The two of them got into a black car, driven by a young man. Xu Jianguo asked, "What should I call you?"
"My name is Chen Jin, from the Central Secretariat." said the middle-aged man.
When Xu Jianguo heard this, his brows immediately frowned. Before coming to Jingzhou, Ma Guoliang did tell him that someone would come to pick him up, but he did not specify who would come to pick him up.
So when he heard that Chen Jin came from the Central Secretariat, he unconsciously thought that someone wanted to lure him to Jingzhou through the old man.
But on second thought, based on his understanding of Ma Guoliang, it was unlikely that the old man would cheat him, so what was going on?
Just as Xu Jianguo was lost in thought, Chen Jin continued, "Comrade Xu Jianguo, don't worry. It was the young master who asked me to come pick you up. He was worried that someone would prevent Mr. Su from leaving Beijing, so he sent me to pick you up and accompany you. After all, some things are more convenient for me to handle personally."
Hearing this, Xu Jianguo's brows relaxed a little, but not completely, because he heard a key point from Chen Jin's words, that is, someone wanted to prevent the old man from leaving Jingzhou.
He didn't care why these people did this, but if they dared to play dirty, Xu Jianguo wouldn't mind making an example of them to scare the monkeys. After all, the sudden disappearance of some people would always cause panic among some people.
"I understand, Brother Chen, please say thank you to the young gentleman and me!" Xu Jianguo said.
Chen Jin smiled and nodded without saying anything else.
It was already half past ten in the morning when Xu Jianguo got off the bus. He was delayed at the station for a while, and it was already past eleven o'clock.
At this moment, Chen Jin, who was originally resting with his eyes closed, suddenly said, "Xiao Liang, it's noon, let's go to Donglaishun first!"
"Yes!" The driver Xiao Liang agreed and stopped talking.
Xu Jianguo looked at Chen Jin with some confusion, but did not ask.
Chen Jin felt Xu Jianguo's gaze, but before he could answer his question, he immediately felt that the young man next to him was a little unusual.
When the young master praised Xu Jianguo before, he was a little indifferent, thinking that no matter how great a young man in his early twenties could be, he couldn't be that great. But now, he doesn't think so.
"Just ask whatever you want to ask!" Chen Jin said.
"Who is waiting for me?" Xu Jianguo asked.
Chen Jin's pupils shrank slightly, but he said without any expression on his face: "No one is waiting for you. I guess you haven't had breakfast. It's noon now. It won't be too late for us to have lunch and then go to Mr. Su's house, right?"
"Are you sure you don't want to tell me?" Xu Jianguo did not follow Chen Jin's pace, but continued to ask.
Chen Jin's movements paused slightly, and he turned to look at Xu Jianguo and asked, "Why are you so sure someone is waiting for you?"
"You seem relaxed, but from the moment we met until now, you've looked at your watch a total of fifteen times, which shows that you have something urgent on your mind and you're very anxious. But this contradicts what you just said about the young master arranging for you to stay with me. In addition, you still want to take me to Donglaishun for dinner when you are so anxious, which shows that you don't want to keep the people at Donglaishun waiting for a long time. In this case, then that person should not be waiting for you, but for me. Excuse me, am I right?" Xu Jianguo stared at Chen Jin and said.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jin suddenly revealed a bitter smile on his face and said, "Xu Jianguo, you are indeed not a simple person. I admit that I underestimated you before, but you don't have to be hostile to me, and I have no ill will towards you. There is indeed someone waiting for you, and you should be able to guess who it is. Do you understand what I mean?"
