Chapter 201: Taking Advantage of the Situation
The laboratory table was kicked over and the glassware was shattered all over the floor.
When Jiang Haitang retreated quickly, she stepped on a falling test tube and fell backwards.
The man pressed forward like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. She instinctively used the "rabbit kicking eagle" technique taught by Lu Liangchen and kicked the man hard in the abdomen with both feet.
"Ugh!" The scarred man was kicked and crashed into the medicine cabinet, and more than a dozen glass bottles fell on his head.
Jiang Haitang took the opportunity to get up and swept the iron pipe across the opponent's knees.
The man smiled grimly and suddenly pulled out a gun from his waist!
Jiang Haitang was a little nervous at this moment. How could there be a gun?
At the moment when the black muzzle of the gun was pointed at Jiang Haitang's eyebrows, a flask suddenly flew out from behind the cabinet and hit the scarred man on the back of the head accurately.
With a "bang", glass shards mixed with alcohol splashed everywhere.
"Sister Haitang, run!" Zhou Xiaomei screamed and threw out the second flask.
The man turned around angrily, and Jiang Haitang seized the opportunity and swung the iron pipe at his gun-holding hand with a sound of wind.
With the sound of bone breaking, the pistol slid several meters away.
"Bitch!" The man took out a dagger with his intact left hand and stabbed Jiang Haitang in the heart with the tip of the knife.
Jiang Haitang hastily turned sideways, and the sharp blade cut his left arm, and warm blood immediately soaked through his sleeve.
The severe pain actually made Jiang Haitang more awake.
She remembered what Lu Liangchen had said: when the enemy lunges, don't retreat, but take a half step sideways towards the blade...
She had not verified whether this was right or not, but now, she could not hesitate.
The moment the dagger stabbed again, she suddenly rushed forward and hit the opponent's chin with the iron pipe from bottom to top.
The scarred man obviously didn't expect this move. With a dull "bang", he fell backward and smashed the window.
Amid the sound of shattering glass, hurried footsteps were heard outside.
The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glared at Jiang Haitang viciously, turned over and tried to climb out of the broken window.
"stop!"
Jiang Haitang rushed to the window and desperately grabbed the man's ankle.
The man struck Jiang Haitang on the forehead with his left hand.
At the critical moment, Zhou Xiaomei picked up the gun on the ground and fired a shot at the man, with smoke coming out of the muzzle.
It was not known whether Zhou Xiaomei knew how to use a gun or if it was an accident, but in any case, the man was hit in the left shoulder by a bullet.
In severe pain, the man who was about to climb out of the window fell back to the ground.
Zhou Xiaomei pointed the gun at the man and walked towards Jiang Haitang cautiously.
"Sister Haitang, you're bleeding!"
"Xiaomei, don't be distracted. If he makes a move, just shoot him dead."
Although he didn't know why Zhou Xiaomei used a gun, Jiang Haitang believed that Zhou Xiaomei could do a good job.
Zhou Xiaomei's hands trembled slightly.
She didn't dare say that she actually didn't know how to use a gun.
Fortunately, the injured man was half lying on the ground. He did not dare to move because of Jiang Haitang's words and the black muzzle of the gun in Zhou Xiaomei's hand.
He thought Zhou Xiaomei knew how to use a gun.
When Jiang Haitang saw that the man did not make any other movements, she realized that her hands were shaking violently, and the iron pipe fell to the ground with a clang.
She looked at the messy laboratory floor, her legs went weak and she sat down on the ground. The fight just now was a hundred times more dangerous than the one against Li Shengli.
At this time, the door of the laboratory was kicked open, and Lu Liangchen rushed in with the security team!
Because the other party had lost their combat effectiveness, the security personnel stepped forward and took them away directly.
Lu Liangchen saw the blood on Jiang Haitang's arm and hurried forward to inquire about the situation.
"Haitang, are you hurt?"
"I was scratched by a knife, it's not serious." Jiang Haitang said while enduring the pain.
Lu Liangchen was so distressed that he wanted to send Jiang Haitang to the hospital immediately.
"Let's clean up the lab first. I wonder if they'll try again if they didn't succeed this time."
"We'll take care of this, Haitang Street. You'd better let Director Lu take you to the hospital!"
Jiang Haitang had no choice but to follow Lu Liangchen to the hospital.
After bandaging the wound, Lu Liangchen said with a distressed look on his face: "You've been injured all the time recently. It's all because I didn't protect you well."
Jiang Haitang smiled, shook his hand and said, "How can I blame you? These people are here for the recipe."
"It's still my fault. I knew there would be danger, but I still let you get hurt."
"The ones who should be blamed are those people. It's not your fault. Fortunately, we transferred the data in advance, so the factory suffered no losses."
In the interrogation room, the man remained silent.
Zhao Kai and his men kept guarding him, but they were unable to get any useful information.
Finally, fearing that he would die from excessive blood loss, Zhao Kai had to find a doctor to bandage him.
After Lu Liangchen settled Jiang Haitang, he also went to the interrogation room of the Security Department.
"What did he say?" Lu Liangchen asked.
"He refuses to say anything." Zhao Kai shook his head.
"Since you won't say anything, hand it over to the national security department."
Zhao Kai didn't understand why Lu Liangchen handed the person over to the National Security Bureau without making any effort.
But he still agreed.
Lu Liangchen did not stay in the security department, but returned to the ward and told Jiang Haitang about the situation there.
"What should we do now?" Jiang Haitang asked.
Lu Liangchen pondered for a moment and said, "Let's take advantage of their situation. Since they want it, we'll give it to them."
Three days later, a piece of experimental data fell into the hands of enemy spies through special channels.
The textile factory was in a state of panic, with rumors that important data and information had been stolen, but there had been no positive response from the textile factory.
But the more they try to hide it, the more people discuss it.
The security department launched a full investigation, but the trace of the enemy spies was elusive and there was no clue at all.
Jiang Haitang's wound has almost healed, but it still hurts occasionally.
She didn't want to stay in the hospital any longer and insisted on being discharged and going home to recuperate.
Knowing that the key to further research and development of fabrics lies in kaolin, Jiang Haitang decided to go there in person.
Lu Liangchen paced back and forth in the office, and the enamel pot in his hand creaked as he squeezed it.
Those people in Qingshuigou had ill intentions towards Haitang, and he was unwilling to let Haitang take risks.
Over the past six months, Haitang has contributed so much to the factory.
But Jiang Haitang insisted, so he finally decided to arrange Lao Zhou, the most experienced member of the security department, to lead the team, and add two young and strong men, Xiao Chen and Xiao Zhang, to escort Jiang Haitang together.
As for the driver, Xiao Wu had been to Qingshuigou before. Although he had some complaints about the place, at least he was familiar with the road conditions, so he was still allowed to take the job.
At five o'clock in the morning, just as the sky was getting light, a military jeep drove out of the factory.
Xiao Wu gripped the steering wheel and muttered, "I really don't want to go to that place. Poverty and bad water breed unruly people."
Lao Zhou sat in the passenger seat, scanning the surroundings vigilantly: "Stop talking nonsense and drive properly."
In fact, Lao Zhou didn’t have a good impression of Qingshuigou. After all, it was where enemy spies had been.
Jiang Haitang sat in the back seat, looking out the window at the fields passing by, his thoughts already drifting to Qingshuigou.
The soil is mixed with the stones and is not easy to dig. This time, we not only need to negotiate with the textile factory to allow them to dig the soil, but it would also be best to find some local people to help dig.
As the jeep bumped along the winding mountain road, Xiao Wu couldn't help but speak again: "Engineer Jiang, does this kind of soil really have to be Qingshuigou? Poor mountains and bad waters breed unruly people. Who knows what they can do this time."
There was a hint of confusion in his tone. "Isn't it just some dirt? It's all over the mountains and plains. It's everywhere."
Jiang Haitang nodded gently: "That's not ordinary soil. We have special needs. In fact, most of the villagers there are very simple, but..."
She paused, recalling her last unpleasant experience, "It's just that a few families are difficult to deal with."
Xiao Chen poked his head out curiously from the back seat: "Mr. Jiang, are you talking about Li Shengli's house?"
Jiang Haitang shook her head. Li Shengli's family did not have much influence in the village. The situation only changed after the news of Li Shengli's sacrifice came out.
However, if you think about it carefully, although the Li family has no influence in the entire Qingshuigou, they are the worst people.
The last time she almost encountered danger in Qingshuigou, it was actually the Li family who interfered.
"Let's not talk about what happened last time. This time, we want to reach a cooperation with the villagers and ask them to help collect soil. This will not only solve our problem but also bring benefits to the village. This is a win-win situation."
"I'm afraid they don't know how to appreciate good people!" Xiao Wu still didn't think those people could be good people.
Jiang Haitang sighed. It would take time to resolve Xiao Wu’s dissatisfaction.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the jeep finally stopped at the entrance of Qingshuigou Village.
Jiang Haitang took a deep breath and straightened her clothes. Old Zhou signaled Xiao Chen and Xiao Zhang to be on high alert, while he walked ahead.
Xiao Wu parked the car, still muttering, "Nothing good ever happens when I come here."
Old Zhou glared at Xiao Wu and said, "Stop grumbling. As long as they're fine, we definitely can't initiate a conflict."
Only then did Xiao Wu shut up.
Lao Zhou then said, "Xiao Chen, you go with Engineer Jiang. We'll keep an eye on them from a distance."
Seeing Lao Zhou looking as if he was facing a great enemy, Jiang Haitang found it a little funny, but she also knew that Lao Zhou was really thinking about his own safety.
Jiang Haitang did not refuse Lao Zhou's arrangement, and she and Xiao Chen walked towards Aunt Cai's house together.
Jiang Haitang plans to negotiate with the village through Aunt Cai's family.
Aunt Cai's husband is also a member of the Zhao family, so he has some influence. Moreover, Aunt Cai and she have always had a good relationship.
From a distance, I saw Aunt Cai busy in front of the pigpen. She had a hunched back and was holding a wooden spoon as she fed two fat pigs.
Jiang Haitang quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Aunt Cai!"
