Time passed minute by minute, and finally, Ke Bin and Zhou Xiaohai came back one after another.
Everyone was waiting anxiously, and when they saw them, they hurriedly called them over and asked them to explain the situation.
Ke Bin pointed to a location on the map. "I've looked into these two courtyards, and only this one has a square gate. I asked the residents nearby, and they said this three-courtyard house had been vandalized. The screen wall was smashed and never repaired, and there were no trees planted in the courtyard."
Zhou Xiaohai also pointed to a location on the map. "Of my two courtyards, only this one has a square gate. But there were suspicious people watching nearby, so I could only pretend to be passing by and didn't dare get too close. I didn't ask about the specific situation of the courtyard, but I saw swallows near it."
Everyone's eyes were focused on the yard. It seemed that this was the place.
Regimental Commander Liu thought for a moment and said, "Zhou Xiaohai, go back to the regiment and report this to the Party Committee. Bring the members of the combat squad to me and we'll start the operation tonight. Feng Yuan, you and He Linqing quickly change your uniforms and find out who lives near this courtyard to see if there's a way out. Ke Bin, you and Xiao Yu will escort Comrade Xiao and his family back home and see if this group has left him any messages. If not, call the machinery factory and ask."
Qiao Qinglu wanted to say something, but Xiao Qinyun stopped her, "Captain Liu, we'll go back to Dong first. I'll leave the steamed buns to you."
Captain Liu shook his hand and said, "Thank you for the clues you provided. We will definitely protect the child. Please rest assured."
Xiao Qinyun and his family got on the jeep again. This time, there were only four of them sitting in the back, with the driver Xiao Yu and Ke Bin sitting in the front.
They soon returned to the Xiao family. After getting off the car, Xiao Qinyun and the others knocked on the door. As the door shook, a letter fell from the gap.
After a while, Aunt Qiu opened the door. Qiao Qinglu picked up the letter and opened it. It said:
Xiao Qinyun, your son is in our custody. At 10:00 PM tomorrow, prepare all the data and information for the rice cooker, double-door refrigerator, and freezer projects. Go to the intersection of XX Hutong and XX Road to redeem the information and exchange him for his son. Don't call the police, or you'll never see your son again.
Qiao Qinglu immediately became nervous. "Old Xiao, they really have sent a message. What should we do next? Do you need to rush back to Xiao to discuss tonight's matter with Captain Liu? And what about the machinery factory? You still need to go to Xiao to get the information."
Xiao Qinyun shook Qiao Qinglu's hand and said, "Qinglu, calm down. Don't be so nervous. We anticipated the other party's demands, and we've prepared accordingly. Captain Liu is also ready to act in the evening. Now that they've finally arrived and given us a time and place for the transaction, this is a good opportunity. Take the tofu and glutinous rice balls home. I'll go see Captain Liu again and will be back soon. Everything will be fine."
After listening to this, Qiao Qinglu nodded and said, "Okay."
With the help of Ke Bin, Xiao Qinyun got into the car and returned to the courtyard house.
After he discussed the evening's affairs with Captain Liu, Xiao Yu and Ke Bin took him to the machinery factory again.
After a while, Ke Bin pushed him out with a big brown paper bag on his body.
Then they got in the car and returned to Wangfujing.
Time soon came to 9:20 in the evening. Doubao and Tangyuan had already gone to bed with Aunt Qiu. Ke Bin and Xiao Qinyun also put on bulletproof vests and prepared to leave.
Qiao Qinglu looked at Xiao Qinyun, and all she could say was one sentence: "I'll wait for you and Mantou to come back safely."
The clock ticked forward, 10 o'clock, 10:10, 10:20, 10:30. Qiao Qinglu kept praying in her heart, hoping to return safely.
Finally, at 10:32, there was a knock on the door. Qiao Qinglu walked to the door and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"
"Mom, I'm back."
Qiao Qinglu opened the door and saw Xiao Qinyun sitting in a wheelchair, and Mantou.
She squatted down and hugged Mantou. Xiao Qinyun put his big hands around them and hugged them both.
Mantou finally came back, and their family was finally together again.
