Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 331 Codename: The Swallow Returns to the Nest

"Senior brother, you didn't even call me when you got up. I'm still hungry."

Liang Yan yawned and stretched and walked in. When she saw Wu Qianqian and her secretary in professional attire, she quickly left and then came back in doubt after a while.

Zhu Xuefeng stopped and asked, "I'll be fine in a moment. Breakfast is ready. You go over first and I'll be there when I'm done."

Liang Yan saw that Zhu Xuefeng was busy with business, but she nodded obediently and closed the door softly.

"Okay, let's talk briefly about this first. I understand everything. Miss Wu, you have worked hard during this period. I will ask your secretary to take the young lady just now to change some clothes and change her hairstyle. The braids are gone, just change them into a ponytail, no need to perm."

"Okay boss, this lady is...your junior sister?"

Zhu Xuefeng nodded, "As long as you know, just say she is my sister to others, and you can call her Miss Liang. We will make arrangements today to get her ID. It is best not to find someone to take her around in the past few days." Leave her alone."

Wu Qianqian smiled slightly and nodded. Although she was a little unclear about the specific situation, the boss should have asked her to find someone to hold Miss Liang down so as not to cause trouble to the boss.

"Yanzi, soon someone will take you to buy some clothes and change your image. Just leave it alone and listen to them. Let them buy you whatever you want to eat or like."

It turns out that the scholar who is coming this time is Luo Qiyong, a Ph.D. from Massachusetts. He has advanced research in electromagnetics and has attracted attention because of his academic papers that have won international awards.

I followed the address and came to Tsuen Wan. There are many people living here. There used to be many factories near the sea. Now they have basically moved away, but the residential areas nearby have remained and there are more and more people.

There was also a lesbian in the room who was looking at Zhu Xuefeng curiously. This mission was very important, but he didn't expect that a young man would be sent here.

Several requests to return to China were blocked, and he remained stranded in Massachusetts. This time, with the intervention of his mentor and other forces, his apparent personal freedom was restored. This time, in the name of academic exchange, he traveled to Asia. , according to his plan, he will arrive in Xiangjiang in the near future.

Liang Yan continued to fight without raising her head. Zhu Xuefeng added another sentence.

"Hello." The two shook hands gently.

"He sent us the news through his classmates. He will come with the latest results. He hopes to get our help. If that doesn't work, we have to bring the latest results back for him."

Zhu Xuefeng ate the last shrimp dumpling and wiped his mouth. Liang Yan was still struggling with the pig's feet and raised her head slightly.

"We knew it was you, haha. I didn't expect you, kid. Needless to say, Gao Feng and the team leader have gone out. Let me introduce you to someone you haven't seen before."

"You have to keep the clothes you changed out of, so you can use them when you get back."

"This is Li Huifang, who is a tabloid reporter to the outside world. Let's get to know each other. I'll give you a brief introduction first. I'll wait for the team leader to come back later and let the team leader tell you more about it."

The one who opened the door was Xu Dongliang, who had dealt with him twice. The first time they were on the train to Jinhai, they subdued the robbery gang together.

Most of the dilapidated old buildings were workers' residential areas back then, and they are still in dilapidated condition now, but after all, it is not far from Kowloon, so it is quite convenient.

Why did he find such a poor place? Whether it was for lack of money or for convenience, Zhu Xuefeng didn't understand. He walked up the stairs outside the building to the fourth floor and found the room.

...

Not sure how credible this statement was, Zhu Xuefeng nodded, stood up and left.

"Dong dong, dong" The door opened, revealing a face. Now there was no need for dialogue, and the people in the room let in directly.

"Well, senior brother, go and do your business. Don't worry about me. I said I won't cause trouble for you. Don't worry."

"Okay, when you get to Senior Brother's ground, you will listen to Senior Brother."

"Brother Xu, I didn't expect it to be you. Then Brother Gao should be here too."

"Senior brother, you are really like a mother-in-law. You are so long-winded, I get it."

"There should be no less than two people around him, guarding him 24 hours a day, and there should be Hong Kong police by then."

Zhu Xuefeng nodded. This kind of thing is their glorious tradition. A few years ago, Mr. Qian was imprisoned for five years. After finally escaping, he used diplomatic power to return home.

Luo Qiyong should be much less famous. Of course, everyone's understanding of electromagnetic technology is still very superficial, and the other party has not paid enough attention to him, which allowed him to find this opportunity.

Zhu Xuefeng deeply admires these talents who have accomplished their studies and are dedicated to returning to the country to serve their country. These talents are true patriots. Those who have stayed in top domestic research institutions for a few years and then never returned are still shouting about themselves. I am truly patriotic, but I just can’t stand the academic atmosphere and unfair treatment in the country, so I won’t mention it.

"Do you know when you can come?"

Zhu Xuefeng cannot wait here forever. There are dozens of people waiting for him in the southwest.

"According to the announcement of the exchange meeting, it should be these two days. I don't know the details. Team leader Zhou went out to inquire about this."

Xu Dongliang knew so much. Li Huifang was also transferred here and didn't know the current situation.

"Let's take a rest first. The team leader should be back soon."

I had no choice but to wait. I looked around and saw that it was a small two-bedroom apartment. The living room in the middle was also very small. Including the kitchen and toilet, the total area was just over fifty square meters. This is a typical residential house. Xiangjiang houses are known as In terms of feet, 10 square feet is about one square meter, and one hundred square feet is equivalent to a thousand-foot mansion.

"Brother Xu, I'm going to take a rest. The team leader came and called me. I've been on the train for a few days and I haven't recovered yet. It's all making clanging noises."

"Okay, let's take a moment. It was the same when I came here a few days ago."

The door rang three times rhythmically. Sure enough, Team Leader Zhou and Gao Feng were back.

"Team leader, Comrade Xiao Zhu is here and is resting inside."

...

"This is the situation. The target may not arrive until the last two days of the meeting. We may only have one or two days of opportunity. The address has not been found yet, and there is no other information. We are very passive now."

"Team leader, the location of the meeting has been determined. It is at Xiangjiang University. I think that in order to be safe and avoid accidents, the other party will definitely ask for accommodation nearby. The location should not be outside the island."

Xiao Xu expressed his opinion and everyone nodded.

"Well, we think so too, Xiao Zhu, I heard from the leader that you came here a few months ago. How was it? Are there any opportunities that can be taken advantage of at the venue?"

Zhu Xuefeng shook his head, "There are four exits on both sides of the auditorium, and the two large entrances are very easy to block. Even if it is the reporting site at night, I don't think there is a chance. We still have to find a way from our residence, or on the way."

"I'm just asking. It's really impossible to do it in public, it can't have too big an impact, especially it can't be true." This means that you can't miss it, you can't be caught, it's very difficult, and the risk is also very high.

"First go as planned. Let me tell you how to let the target know that we are ready to take action and actively cooperate."

"Xiao Li, you can speak English. As a reporter, you will use coded codes to ask questions and pass on information to let him know that we are coming. Prepare in advance."

"Xiao Zhu, if contact with Xiao Li fails, you have to ask academic questions and try to pass on the signal."

The two nodded. According to the situation of normal exchange meetings, both of them did have the opportunity to pass on information.

"We have to discuss how to meet and retreat..."

"Team leader, this is too difficult. The island is surrounded by the sea and is heavily guarded. The only access is Tianxingdu. Even if you prepare a boat on the beach, you can't escape the pursuit of the Marine Police's patrol boat."

At this time, there were no speedboats in Xiangjiang. The world's first speedboat was in 1959. The Bald Eagle was designed to transport offshore oil well workers, and there were no private yachts.

If you want to retreat quietly, you can only use a small boat, but the water police around the island cannot be bypassed. In the era without speedboats, small boats cannot escape the pursuit of patrol boats.

It is impossible to hide on the main island with the target, and then wait for dawn to leave via Tianxing Ferry. This seems to be a dead end. No wonder the bald eagle agreed to the target's academic exchange in Xiangjiang, and there is no chance at all.

"If it doesn't work out, we can only try to get in touch and go back with the materials."

How could such a talented person who was devoted to the country be ignored and had to be sent back? Zhu Xuefeng suddenly came up with a crazy idea.

"Team leader, I have an idea, but we still have to find a boat."

Everyone suddenly became energetic, and no one wanted to give up, but there was no other way.

"It's better to talk quickly than to do nothing."

Zhu Xuefeng explained his plan carefully, and the four of them were dumbfounded. They had never heard of anything like this.

"Xiao Zhu, this matter is no small matter. Is your method reliable? If it fails, it will be doomed."

"I tried it alone, and there was no problem. Two people should be able to hold on for a while, but it won't last long, so I need to find a boat..."

"Do you have these things now? It's too late to prepare at this moment."

"I have a ready-made set here that you can use."

Team Leader Zhou gave Zhu Xuefeng a meaningful look. Zhu Xuefeng had prepared this for him to climb over the mountains and forests in the southwest, and he had no choice but to expose his ability. Team Leader Zhou thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

"Okay, let's do it like this. We'll find the car and the boat. Just one thing, make sure the target is safe. Xiao Zhu, if you have the chance, get familiar with it a few more times and you can't make any mistakes."

"Don't worry, team leader. As long as we cooperate well, get rid of them as soon as possible and arrive at Mount Davis successfully, I can ensure safety. Of course, the ship must wait in the designated area..."

"Then our operation is called "Breast Swallow Returning to the Nest".

Mosingling is a small hill at the westernmost tip of the island, with an altitude of 260 meters (853 feet). It is the western end of the island, adjacent to the green islands. There are still relics of World War II on the ridge, including the gun towers where the army was stationed.

This is the place Zhu Xuefeng chose to escape. In later generations, Moxing Ridge was a paradise for motorcycle enthusiasts. Many villas were built below near the sea. Of course, this is not the case now. The road to the top of the mountain is a bit narrow and remote. It's desolate, but you can still drive.

...

It would take several days for the target to appear. Team leader Zhou took people to prepare, but Zhu Xuefeng had no mission. After inspecting Mount Mosing Ridge once, he could only wait. Wu Qianqian had not been taking care of the building and construction site these days. , just go shopping and eat delicious food with Liang Yan.

"Senior brother, this place may not look big, but it's really nice. There are so many good things."

Liang Yan was dressed in clean business attire with a high ponytail, which made her look very young and beautiful. She had no choice but to look at Wu Qianqian and her secretary's outfits and thought they were good, so she decided to imitate them.

"Why, you want to stay? No problem. Now that you have an identity, when my uncle and the others arrive, they will be surprised when they see you."

Liang Yan looked disdainful, "This place is not bad for fun. I still like to go on adventures with my senior brother. You promised me that you would take me to the southwest after completing the mission. Don't regret it."

Zhu Xuefeng smiled bitterly. By accident, he was lured out to go to the southwest after the mission. As long as he could run outside, Liang Yan didn't want to go back alone. No, he had to take her with him when running to the southwest.

"I won't dump you. Don't worry. As long as you don't cause trouble these days, I will take you to the forest."

"Senior brother, why are there so many mahjong parlors in this place, and they are all full? Aren't these things that the concubines in the past had nothing to play with?"

Seeing that there was a mahjong parlor not far away, Liang Yan was very curious. She heard that there was a casino in Macau and asked Zhu Xuefeng to take her to see it, but her senior brother refused because he had business and no time.

"Why, you want to play, you can go if you want. This is entertainment. It's not just aunts and wives who like to play. It's also our cultural inheritance for thousands of years."

"Didn't they say gambling is not allowed in Xiangjiang? If you want to gamble, you have to go to Macau."

When he first came here, Zhu Xuefeng also asked, and Wu Qianqian explained it in detail. This time, he just showed off his knowledge.

"You are right. Gambling has always been prohibited in Xiangjiang. In the early days of its opening, it was operated as a club. Since merchants did not enter the venue and were only responsible for serving drinks and taps, it was not considered a casino."

"Later, we got a license from the Hong Kong government. Now we have to take a four-and-a-half-hour boat ride to Macau. Who can bear to travel thousands of miles to gamble? So business here is booming."

"I don't want to gamble, I just want to take a look. I can't do it this time. I'll go next time. The junior uncles will all come here in the future. Whenever I want to go, I can sneak back."

"Yes, you will have many opportunities in the future, but don't take this gamble. If you get obsessed, your life will be ruined."

"Uncle Zhu, you're here again."

Liang Yan smiled and joked, "It's getting late, let's go back. I didn't expect that people here really love this. It's almost ten o'clock now. We've already rested in the capital. Look at these sparrows." The museum is still full of people.”

“The current laws here stipulate that the business hours of mahjong parlors are from 12 noon to 12 am, but because no one is in charge, all mahjong parlors are basically open 24 hours a day. Have you seen the fish ball vendor next to you? , and they stayed with me until dawn."

It was already nighttime, and it was obvious that there were more vendors outside the Mahjong Pavilion than in other places. Many snacks had an attractive aroma. From time to time, waiters and poker players would come out to take care of business, which was quite harmonious.

"Senior brother, if I want to talk about fun, it's more fun in the south. There are a lot of delicious food here. If you have a chance to come to the south in the future, you must take me with you."

"You, since you like it so much, just stay with my uncle and the others."
