Xing Baohua led a large group of people to Shanghai as soon as possible and notified the security company in Hong Kong to send a team over.
In the intensive care unit of Changhai Hospital, Xing Baohua saw Xiao Tianna, who was covered in tubes. Not far from him was Geng Rui, lying quietly on the bed, the monitor's circuit fluctuating.
Then Captain Han arrived with his men. After taking a look, he said to Xing Baohua, "Let's go downstairs to talk. We can't stay here any longer."
Captain Han waved his hand, and the two comrades stood in front of the intensive care unit without hesitation.
The hospital provided them with an office that is usually used for consultations, which they used as a temporary communication point.
The room was already packed with people. Xing Baohua had just sat down when he asked Captain Han, "What's going on?"
"I just arrived not long ago! Luckily, I was on a business trip in Jianye, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten here so quickly?" Captain Han said, pointing to a middle-aged man in a suit and introducing him: "This is Cao Lihua, the captain of the Shanghai Municipal Criminal Investigation Brigade."
Xing Baohua reached out and shook hands, saying hello.
Then, the chief physician of the intensive care unit, Director Liu, was introduced to explain the condition of Xiaotian and his wife.
"The male patient mainly suffered rib fractures, spinal injury, and internal organ displacement. Due to the rib fractures, he developed pneumothorax but is not in immediate danger. The female patient's injuries were less severe, but the shockwave from the explosion caused some damage to her internal organs. She is currently still in a coma, and we need to observe her further to determine her specific condition."
After Director Liu finished speaking, Xing Baohua asked, "What about the child? Can it be saved?"
"I can't guarantee anything; we still need to observe! We've already contacted experts from Shanghai Women and Children's Hospital for a consultation," Director Liu said.
Captain Han said, "Thank you, Director Liu. Please go ahead with your work. We'll contact you again if we need anything."
Director Liu nodded and went out first. Captain Han said to Captain Cao, "You tell us about the situation. Inside is not only Boss Xing's precious child, but also the nation's precious child."
Captain Cao gave a wry smile and said to Xing Baohua, "We found TNT at the scene. Due to the powerful explosion, the four-story building in the residential area where the injured lived collapsed. The on-site investigation has yielded no relevant clues."
Xing Baohua turned to Captain Han and asked, "I don't quite understand. In China, can TNT be used in the mining industry?"
Captain Han shook his head and said, "Mining companies generally use emulsified and powdered ammonium nitrates, while TNT is mainly used in military applications."
Xing Baohua frowned slightly and asked, "Have we been targeted by external forces?"
"Perhaps, but we can't be too sure. We'll only know the specifics after he wakes up, such as when they arrived in Shanghai and who they contacted." Captain Cao interjected.
Captain Han glanced at the other party and said, "G Defense has taken over this case now, and your bureau will fully cooperate. Geng Rui is one of our people, and she has been working covertly. Didn't you announce the gas cylinder explosion? Perfect, let's keep things under tight control on the inside and relaxed on the outside. First, investigate whether the foreign guests or overseas Chinese have come from overseas in the past month. I need their detailed information and travel history."
Captain Cao opened his mouth and said, "This..."
"You can investigate your case first, the paperwork will come to your bureau later. Let's not stay here any longer, don't delay the doctor's meeting. Mr. Xing, give Captain Cao your address here, he can come to you if he can't reach you by phone." Han finished speaking and left first.
As they reached the door, Captain Han turned to Captain Cao and said, "Transfer two squads from the detachment to patrol the main gate."
"Isn't that unnecessary? This is a military hospital."
“The person isn’t dead, but what if they come back again? Patrols are for deterrence, not for guarding the gate.” Captain Han then said to Xing Baohua, “You shouldn’t stay here either. The building where your employees live collapsed. Luckily it was daytime, so there weren’t many people around. Only two elderly people died. Go and handle it.”
Xing Baohua nodded, indicating that he agreed.
He was the second to leave. When he went downstairs, he gave instructions to the two guards at home: to follow Zhang Dongshuo 24 hours a day, to fire first in case of emergency, and to try not to let Zhang Dongshuo go out before the HK security personnel arrived.
After finishing the phone call, I called Director Li again. Starting today, the rice factory will strictly enforce security checks for entering and leaving the factory, because there are enemy agents trying to sabotage it.
Don't make a fuss and cause panic. Just find any excuse for a security check, and a special department will investigate.
Factory Director Li had witnessed the sabotage carried out by enemy agents and knew the seriousness of it. In the 1950s and 60s, all major factories had security departments, and even militia companies set up their command posts in the security departments of large factories.
At that time, the security department had set up positions for personnel, weapons, and anti-aircraft guns. They also conducted target practice every now and then.
By the late 1970s and early 1980s, the rank still existed, but firearms and such required an application.
Factory Director Li personally organized a team and put forward the old plan. He was also a veteran staff officer who had participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
He devised a series of plans, hung the factory's planning map in his office, and started marking key areas with circles for focused control.
After that, I went to the civil defense site myself. Don't you have a few anti-aircraft guns in your southern mountainous area? Could you borrow a few as decoration? Were they loaned to the meteorological bureau?
I don't know what connections Director Li used, but he managed to get several anti-aircraft guns and put them around the laboratory, one each in Workshop 1 and Workshop 5.
It's an anti-aircraft gun, fine. I've seen those before. But what's the point of putting a few green boxes next to it?
It hasn't rained for the past two days, should we try to increase the rain?
