After leaving the courtyard, Xu Jianguo first determined the direction based on the map in his mind, and then walked towards the guesthouse.
Logically, he should have killed these four people directly, but he did not do so. After all, they were more useful to Xu Jianguo if they were alive. He was now looking forward to the expression on the old woman's face when she knew the fate of these four people.
However, based on his understanding of the old woman, she would definitely not have any mercy on the four people, and would only be furious because they failed to complete the task. But if he could create a little bit of fear in her heart, then Xu Jianguo's goal would be achieved.
All he needs to do now is to wait patiently. When this matter is completely over and the old woman returns to work, her death will be near.
Xu Jianguo walked very slowly. On the way, he shared the coordinates he had set for the woman at the Health Bureau with Fu Bo, asking him to call back the two servants who were far away in the Korean Peninsula, and ask them to keep an eye on the old woman's movements 24 hours a day from now on, and report to him immediately if they found that she had returned to work.
It took Xu Jianguo nearly forty minutes to return to the guesthouse.
Since it was not yet the end of the Lunar New Year, there were very few guests staying in the guesthouse at this time. So when he arrived at the door of his room at the end of the corridor on the second floor, he found that the door was still open and no one had noticed that something had happened here before.
After entering the room, Xu Jianguo activated the Eye of Time and Space, looked around carefully, and after finding nothing unusual, he closed the door and then slipped into the space.
Because he was about to go home, after Xu Jianguo entered the space, he took a hot bath, shaved, and asked Xu Xiaoshi to help him cut his hair before returning to the bedroom, taking off his clothes and getting into bed. After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.
At this time, in a small courtyard inside the red-walled compound, Chen Jin had just hung up the phone. The person he was talking to was a field staff member from the Central Security Bureau, and the content of their conversation was about what had just happened in a courtyard in Dongsi.
In other words, not long after Xu Jianguo left the courtyard, the Security Bureau's field staff had already reported the matter to Chen Jin.
Chen Jin looked at the watch on his wrist and after hesitating for a moment, decided to report the matter to Mr. Zhou. After all, the old man had told him that anything related to Xu Jianguo must be reported to him in a timely manner without any mistakes.
After tidying up his clothes, Chen Jin walked up the stairs and came to the old man's bedroom door. Just as he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, he heard the old man's voice from inside: "Any news about that kid Jianguo?"
"Yes, Chief!" Chen Jin replied in a low voice.
"Wait a moment!"
"yes!"
Following the sound of someone getting dressed, a moment later, the door opened and Old Man Zhou walked out. He said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
So Chen Jin no longer hesitated and relayed to the old man everything that the field staff had reported to him.
After saying this, he stood quietly aside, waiting for the old man to speak.
After listening to Chen Jin's report, the old man's frown relaxed, and the corners of his mouth lifted involuntarily. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Good boy, you didn't act impulsively. Good, really good! As long as the person is still alive, everything can be solved!"
Chen Jin, who had been with the old man for such a long time, immediately understood what he meant, and his expression became relaxed.
After a while, the old man said, "Find out which unit those four people belong to. Keep an eye on everyone involved in this matter. Now is not the time to move against them. When the time comes, take them all down."
"Yes, Chief!"
"Also, keep a close eye on the Health Bureau's movements and report any developments immediately! Also, send a guard company to the train station early tomorrow morning. Notify the local Public Security Bureau for cooperation. Announce the capture of enemy spies. If any suspicious individuals are found, arrest them and bring them back. They can be shot on the spot if necessary."
"yes!"
"Okay, go ahead!"
After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the bedroom, and Chen Jin went downstairs directly to start carrying out the order.
At six o'clock the next morning, Xu Jianguo woke up from his sleep on time. After stretching, he lifted the quilt, got up, put on his clothes, and went to the bathroom to wash.
After eating the breakfast prepared for him by Xu Xiaoshi, Xu Jianguo left the space with his backpack, returned to his room in the guesthouse, opened the door and walked out.
After returning the room key to the front desk, Xu Jianguo walked out of the guesthouse and headed towards the nearby Jingzhou Railway Station.
However, when he arrived at the square in front of the train station, he immediately found something wrong.
At this time, soldiers in military uniforms and carrying Type 81 rifles on their shoulders could be seen everywhere in the square in front of the station.
In addition to the soldiers, there are also many public security personnel wearing holsters on their waists.
The two groups of people had a very clear division of labor: the soldiers were responsible for vigilance, and the public security was responsible for verification, as if they were looking for someone.
Xu Jianguo thought, what's going on? Such a big scene, is she looking for him? How dare that woman mobilize the army for her own use without authorization? Is she crazy?
But then he rejected this idea. You know, this is Jingzhou, the place closest to the center. Even if that woman is very bold, she should not be so blatant. You know, the troops in the garrison area are not so easy to mobilize.
If that old woman really dares to reach out to the garrison, she will be dead soon, and no one can save her.
After figuring this out, Xu Jianguo felt much more at ease and walked straight towards the entrance.
As soon as Xu Jianguo reached the station entrance, he was stopped by several police officers. One of them, noticing that he was wearing a military uniform, saluted him and said, "Hello, comrade! According to orders from our superiors, we are searching for enemy spies, so we need to check your ID. Please cooperate!"
