Chapter 60: The Schemes
After Liu Hong and those people finished their interrogation, Captain Liu called Qiao Qinglu over and told her the whole story.
These things started in 1972. At that time, Liu Yu could get whatever he wanted, but he was always prepared for danger. He knew that he had done a lot of things in recent years and had a dirty record. He was afraid of being liquidated one day, so he was always looking for a way out.
At that time, international relations had improved and sending students abroad for study had been initially restored, so he sent his son to the United States. In this way, he became involved with certain foreign organizations.
During those years, he wrote letters and made phone calls in code, conveying a lot of information. The American organization gave his son a house and a lot of US dollars, and the two sides cooperated very happily.
In the blink of an eye, at the end of August 1974, Yanjing brand rice cookers were officially launched on the market. Liu Hong’s wife also bought one, and it was very easy to use.
When Liu Hong called his son, he accidentally mentioned this matter, but he didn't expect that it would attract the attention of the organization. They asked for project information and data and promised Liu Hong a lot of US dollars.
Liu Hong handed the matter over to Brother Hu, but he didn't expect that Brother Hu would fail miserably and almost get himself implicated.
Fortunately, Brother Hu had the leverage over him and didn't dare betray him, but the rice cooker project was accidentally brought to the Autumn Fair and attracted the attention of the old man, and Xiao Qinyun also had some more troops around him.
Liu Hong couldn't take any more action and could only swallow his anger and apologize to the other side. The other side didn't dare to force Liu Hong too hard. After all, he had his position and many things needed him to do. So the matter ended in a whimper.
By September 1976, Liu Hong was in a state of panic all day long. He was afraid of being liquidated and wanted to hold more chips in his hands. During that period, he frantically amassed wealth.
Just like that, he thought of the projects at the machinery factory again. After all, the machinery factory had been thriving in the past two years, with continuous projects, including not only rice cookers, but also double-door refrigerators and freezers that were launched last year. Now was a good time.
Although Xiao Qinyun had several troops around him, as long as his entire family was mobilized, those few people would still not be enough, not to mention there is an old saying that "two fists cannot beat four hands."
This time Zheng Linbao showed up. Liu Hong gave him a lot of money and tickets, and asked him to organize people and find a house. He also gave him a wooden warehouse. As a result, the kidnapping was successful, but the mission inexplicably failed.
Zheng Linbao did not dare to betray him, and the limelight passed, but these two defeats made Liu Hong want to kill Xiao Qinyun.
After spending so much manpower and material resources but failing to get the project, Liu Hong decided to take action himself.
He and the deputy director of Northwest Farm were fellow villagers. At the beginning of 2011, he visited the farm and impressed the deputy director with 10 small yellow croakers.
The deputy director promised Liu Hong that if Xiao Qinyun dared to come to the northwest, he would never return.
On the farm, Liu Hong took a fancy to Yuan Weimin, a man with ambition and means. The two hit it off immediately. Liu Hong gave him two small yellow croakers as a deposit and asked him to contact him again after returning to Yanjing.
Yuan Weimin returned at the end of June, and his staff was in place in mid-July. Liu Hong took out another 10 small yellow croakers and gave them to the deputy team leader of the project team, asking him to arrange for Xiao Qinyun to go on a business trip to the northwest.
Then, Liu Hong activated the "nails" buried in the hospital, textile factory and machinery factory and Yuan Weimin alone. He wanted to kidnap Xiao Qinyun's wife and children and threaten the machinery factory to hand over the project information and data.
The idea was good and the plan was thorough, but something went wrong at the last minute. Qiao Qinglu hid the children, and his men came back empty-handed, only kidnapping her, Brother Qiao, and Ke Bin.
Things were not going well for Xiao Qinyun either. The deputy director sent five people to surround Xiao Qinyun, but they managed to escape.
Liu Hong felt a little uneasy. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to take his wife and leave Yanjing.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, he and his wife disguised themselves and got on the car of the machinery factory with the small yellow croaker and valuables.
He planned to take a train to the coast first, then cross the river to Hong Kong, and then transfer to the United States, so that they would be safe.
However, he didn't expect that Yuan Weimin had already sold him out, and Captain Liu had also set up controls at the train station. In the end, the train left and he stayed.
After listening to this, Qiao Qinglu asked Captain Liu: "Captain Liu, now that the truth has been revealed, will Liu Hong be sentenced to death?"
Captain Liu thought for a moment and said, "There's a high probability that he will be sentenced. After all, he has already endangered Guo Jia's safety."
Qiao Qinglu patted her chest and said, "That's good. I didn't expect this venomous snake to keep watching our family for the past few years. It's really chilling. When will Xiao Qinyun be able to come back?"
Captain Liu jokingly said, "Why, you can't wait even a few days? Comrade Xiao has already boarded the train back home and will be in Yanjing in three days."
Qiao Qinglu waved her hand. "I just want to wait for Xiao Qinyun to come back and meet Liu Hong together. I still have something to ask him."
Captain Liu said sternly, "Okay, then when Comrade Xiao comes back, come find me and I'll take you two to meet Liu Hong."
