Having decided to bring the three or four treasures, Lu Yuan would definitely need to report to his superiors promptly.
Zhao Zhiyi was delighted to hear the truth about the two little ones' situation.
"That's great, now you don't need to pretend to be someone else. But this mission is very dangerous, are you sure you really want to bring the two children?"
Having already made the decision, and at Sanbao's insistence, Lu Yuan naturally wouldn't easily change his mind.
"Take them with you, they can help."
And so, Sanbao and Sibao temporarily became members of the special forces team.
The mission was to rescue a group of leading researchers in the United States. For over a decade, these researchers had been trying to contact their home country, but due to the circumstances, they were unable to do so. Fortunately, they did not give up.
We finally made contact recently and hope that someone from China can bring them back to China. There are more than 26 people in total.
Demanding people directly from the US would definitely not be accepted. Similar things have happened before, and it took a lot of hard work to succeed, but the losses were still considerable.
This time, the leaders hoped to send someone to secretly meet them first. If they could bring the person back secretly, that would be best. If not, they would then openly ask someone to put pressure on them.
However, this puts them in a very passive position, as they fear that the other party might be willing to destroy them if they can't be retained, which would make the situation even more dangerous for the research leaders.
This mission is extremely difficult. If they want to go to the United States to make the rendezvous, they first need to have a legitimate reason and identity to go there.
"Director Lu, here are the documents. Please take a look."
Su Tingxiao handed a stack of documents to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan looked through the pages carefully, then suddenly looked up in surprise, “Xie Ruizhang, the old man from the cowshed?”
Su Tingxiao nodded, "Yes, the old man from the cowshed who died unexpectedly a few years ago was named Xie Ruizhang. Back then, he came to Changhe Brigade because of his status as a capitalist, and all his family members except him went to the United States."
Lu Yuan understood after looking at the information.
Now they are preparing to exonerate the old man in the cowshed and his family. Five years ago, when Old Man Xie died, he begged the brigade to help him find his family and even promised a large sum of money.
He also told the brigade cadres that when his wife and children left, they took hundreds of antique paintings and calligraphy with them. He said that as long as they could help him find his family and help them return to China safely and settle in their ancestral home, the Xie family would be willing to donate most of the antique paintings and calligraphy.
Lu Yuan asked, "Is the Xie family's situation true?"
Su Tingxiao nodded, "It's true, but Xie Ruizhang didn't entrust anything."
Lu Yuan understood. It just so happened that Old Xie's identity and family situation were real, but the commission was fake, and now there was no way to verify it.
They were tempted by hundreds of antiques and promised a large sum of money. They also claimed that they could receive government support and legitimately go to Country M to find people.
Lu Yuan asked, "Our identities remain the same, but what identities will you use to go there?"
After exchanging glances, Su Tingxiao spoke first, "Public servants."
Chen Beilin: "Xu Dong."
Qian Bing: "Lu Yuanchao."
Xu Guowu: "Lu Jiefang".
"Sun Maodou".
...
Lu Yuan: "..."
Goodness, he's arranged everything for people who are even slightly close to him.
On the surface, there were about ten people in the group, including the children. Four of them were public officials responsible for the safety of the group, and the remaining six were Lu Yuan and his two children.
Why bring a child?
When it was time to leave, the child insisted on coming along, crying and fussing. I thought it would be good to take the child out for a trip and broaden their horizons.
No one would have guessed that this group was there to pick up a leading scientific researcher.
“Sun Maodou is no good. He’s going to the Canton Fair these two days. If someone investigates, he’ll easily be exposed.”
If you're going to impersonate someone, you have to be careful.
"Also, I'll tell Dongzi, Yuanchao, and Jiefang not to come back during this period. If anyone asks, just say they went out with us."
Su Tingxiao and the others nodded.
However, this means that for every mission they undertake, Xu Dong and his group will also have to stay away from home for the same amount of time.
It could take a year or two.
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, was confident that he would be able to complete the mission and return in six months.
On the surface, there were only about ten of them, but secretly their entire team was mobilized.
These dozen or so men were all elites among elites. Moreover, there was a hidden support team of over a hundred men.
Therefore, Lu Yuan was full of confidence.
The group discussed things until midnight before Lu Yuan took Sanbao and Sibao home.
After giving his wife some instructions, he found Xu Dong, Lu Yuanchao, and Lu Jiefang the next day, gave them a large quantity of goods, and arranged for them to stay with Hou San in the county. He told them not to go home until he came to pick them up.
The three knew they wouldn't be able to go home for about six months. Although they were reluctant to leave their families, they still had to listen to Lu Yuan.
Moreover, after the goods are sold, Lu Yuan only needs to cover the cost, and the remaining profits will be split equally among the three of them.
The goods, worth over 100,000 yuan, were sold on the black market. After deducting the profit given to Hou San and his group, they could still make a 30% profit.
Even if they only take 30%, they'll still have 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. If they split that among themselves, they'll be millionaires in six months.
Such a good thing should naturally be accepted.
What's half a year? They'd be willing to go a year or two without going home.
After arranging everything, Lu Yuan set off with Sanbao, Sibao, Su Tingxiao, and the others. They first arrived in Yangcheng, and Lu Yuan even took the time to visit Sun Maodou.
This guy has only been with the group for three days, but he's already met several pretty girls.
When Lu Yuan arrived, the guy was dressed in a flashy outfit and was enthusiastically introducing furniture products to a blonde, busty beauty while holding a furniture brochure.
Although there was a translator in between, it didn't stop the other party from feeling his enthusiasm from his exaggerated and pretentious expressions. The blonde, busty girl laughed heartily, and in the end, they even closed a deal.
