After leaving Qin Zhan's office, Xu Jianguo did not leave the Health Bureau directly, but returned to the courtyard where the woman lived, found the security squad leader, and handed him an envelope containing a letter he wrote to Chen Jin.
Although this letter was intended for Chen Jin, the real recipient was Mr. Zhou.
After all, he was about to leave Jingzhou, and it was reasonable for him to say goodbye to the old man. Although he guessed that his movements would not escape the old man's eyes, he thought it would be better to write a letter.
After finishing what he needed to do, Xu Jianguo carried his bag and left the Health Bureau without any regrets, walking towards the main gate of the red-walled compound in the distance.
Twenty minutes later, Xu Jianguo left the red-walled compound. The moment he stepped out of the gate, his originally depressed mood was instantly released.
Xu Jianguo turned around and looked at the door behind him, thinking that God is indeed fair. If you want to gain something, you must lose something. Whether you regard this as barter or as an equal exchange, the word fairness has never changed.
After leaving the red-walled compound, Xu Jianguo went directly to Jingzhou Railway Station, and then used the letter of introduction in his hand to buy himself a sleeper ticket to Bingcheng at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The reason why Xu Jianguo did not use the space to leave was because he wanted to show it to others. From the moment he left the Health Bureau, he noticed that there were several hostile eyes staring at him from behind. He thought that these should be the people sent by the old woman.
After putting the ticket and letter of introduction into the space, Xu Jianguo left the train station directly and booked a room in a state-owned guesthouse not far from the station.
After paying the money, he took the key and went straight to the second floor, where he found his room at the end of the corridor.
After entering the room, Xu Jianguo hung his shoulder bag on the hanger behind the door, took off his shoes, lay on the bed, and waited quietly.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, his keen hearing detected a slight sound of footsteps coming from the corridor.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Jianguo stood up and sat up, then opened his Eyes of Time and Space and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Under the gaze of the Eye of Time and Space, the scene in the corridor was perfectly presented before his eyes.
At this time in the corridor, four young men in Zhongshan suits opened the door of the room next to Xu Jianguo, and Xu Jianguo saw pistols and daggers on their waists.
After the four people entered the room, one of them put his ear directly to the wall, trying to eavesdrop to determine what Xu Jianguo was doing.
But to his disappointment, after listening for nearly twenty minutes, no sound came from the next room.
The man looked at the other three people puzzledly, his eyes full of doubt and inquiry.
After all, based on his past experience, the message conveyed to him by the next room was that there was no one there.
The reason why he made this judgment was that even if the people in the room were asleep, there would always be noises of them turning over. Most beds in this era were made of wood, and some beds had been in use for too long. As long as the people sleeping on them made the slightest movement, these dilapidated wooden beds would make creaking sounds.
But the reality is that there was no sound coming from the next room. Not only was there no sound from the bed, but even the sound of the wooden floor being stepped on could not be heard.
Seeing that no clues were found, the four of them discussed and decided to wait until dark to check the situation before making a decision.
Xu Jianguo's guess was correct. The four people were indeed sent by the woman to deal with him, but the one who gave them the orders was Feng Zheng, the number one secretary beside the woman.
The order the four men received was not to kill Xu Jianguo, but to cripple him so that he could no longer perform any labor.
When Feng Zheng issued this order, he had a more comprehensive understanding of his leader's character, and his fear of her increased a little.
As time passed, it soon reached twelve o'clock in the evening.
At this time, the state-owned guesthouse had already become quiet. Since it was not yet the end of the first lunar month, there were not many outsiders coming to Jingzhou for business, so there were only a few guests in the entire guesthouse. This also provided a lot of convenience for the four people's subsequent actions.
Just as the pointer passed twelve o'clock, Xu Jianguo, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
With the help of the Eye of Time and Space, Xu Jianguo clearly saw the four people next door walk out of their room, and then tiptoe out of his own room.
One of the young men took out a syringe connected to a rubber hose from his pocket, then loosened the clamp on the other end of the hose, inserted the hose into the gap of the door of Xu Jianguo's room, and then pushed the syringe, releasing the white smoke stored in it into Xu Jianguo's room.
Looking at the operations of several people, Xu Jianguo showed a look of disdain on his face, and then he put his shoulder bag into the space with a thought, and then entered a breath-holding state, lay back on the bed, and slowly closed his eyes.
About five minutes later, one of them leaned on the door of Xu Jianguo's room and listened carefully to the sounds inside. When he heard a slight snoring coming from the room, he turned around and made a gesture to the other three.
When the other three saw this, they immediately showed some excitement. Then one of them took out two peculiarly shaped metal tools from his pocket. From the appearance, they looked a bit like ear picks, but the front was one flat and the other pointed. It was obviously a tool for unlocking.
With a slight click, Xu Jianguo's door was opened from the outside, and then four people walked in one after another.
When they saw Xu Jianguo who had already fallen "asleep" on the bed, a cruel and bloodthirsty smile immediately appeared on the corners of their mouths. However, what they did not notice was that Xu Jianguo's chest did not move at all while he was lying on the bed.
The strongest man among them carried Xu Jianguo directly on his shoulders, then made a gesture to the other three. The four of them quickly walked out of the room, came to the first floor, and then left the guesthouse through the back window of an uninhabited room, and soon disappeared into the night.
