Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 211 Premonition
A trip to Hong Kong Island has been put on the agenda.

Starting from May 2nd, Su Xiaotong, Dai Jun and Li Yancheng underwent a week-long conversation, ideological and political education and discipline at the bureau.

This is a must. Even decades later, the process has not changed. It is the same whenever you go abroad on official business.

It's just a little more strict here.

Both Su Xiaotong and Dai Jun had been there before, especially the latter, who had stayed there for more than a year.

The two of them were familiar with each other and understood everything, so this conversation could be said to be directed at Li Yancheng.

So, after the briefing, the two of them walked out of the bureau's office building, but Li Yancheng was kept back by Director Dong, who wanted to give him some private lessons.

Dai Jun also came from the First Division. When he was the operations team leader here, Su Xiaotong had just arrived at this unit and was just an ordinary clerk in the investigation department.

Ten years have passed, and both of them are now deputy directors. Although he is temporarily serving as the acting director of the second department, as long as the word "deputy" is not removed and the official appointment document is not issued, it is very likely that someone will be parachuted in.

This mission to Hong Kong Island is an opportunity for him. As long as the mission is completed well, his position as director will basically be settled. At worst, he will be sent to the Third Department or the Security Department. The directors of these two departments have been working in the same position for a long time, and the bureau also intends to make adjustments this time.

Departments 1, 2 and 3 under the Social Affairs Bureau may seem no different just from their names, but in fact, the work responsibilities of the three departments are very different.

The main responsibility of the First Division is to investigate and arrest those who are disloyal in Beijing, and is also responsible for guiding the business of the provinces and cities below.

The work scope of the Second Department is just outside, which is one of the main reasons for sending Dai Jun there this time. The people there are his subordinates.

The work responsibilities of the Third Department and the Security Department are quite similar, and it would be most appropriate to call the two departments Security Departments One and Two.

The Security Department is mainly responsible for the security and protection of major institutions, factories, mines and enterprises.

The third department is responsible for higher-level tasks. Their work is not subordinate to those of the guards, but they cooperate with each other.

……

The two men walked to the parking lot, but did not get into their respective cars. Su Xiaotong was waiting, because he knew that Deputy Director Dai from the Second Department had something to say.

Sure enough, he guessed right.

After stopping, Dai Jun handed Su Xiaotong a cigarette, leaned against the front of his car and asked, "Xiaotong, can you tell me in detail about your doctor Li? I want your own opinion, not the official one."

He had heard a lot of official introductions. This mission was arduous. If he didn't have a clear understanding of his partner, something bad would happen.

"My own opinion?" Su Xiaotong smoked and pondered for a while before saying, "First of all, Yan Cheng is a relatively easy person to deal with. The file says that he has a withdrawn personality, which is actually not particularly accurate. He is the kind of person who doesn't like to take the initiative to deal with others.

Secondly, generally speaking, if he has an opinion about someone or doesn’t like that person, he won’t let you see it, that is, he won’t show his opinion of a person on his face.”

Hearing this, Dai Jun frowned, his face showing no emotion. This kind of person is actually not easy to deal with, because you can never guess what he is thinking.

Su Xiaotong did not stop introducing himself. He took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "Director Dai, you don't have to think too much. Dealing with Yan Cheng is actually very simple. Just say whatever you want to say. You and he are just working people. Unless you plan to make friends with him privately, there is no need to consider anything else."

Dai Jun's slightly frowned brows suddenly relaxed, and he shook his head with a self-deprecating smile. He was really a little worried this time. Why did he think so much?

He nodded and said, "Thank you Xiaotong for your reminder."

"What do you mean by reminder or not?" Su Xiaotong smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone understands that this trip to Hong Kong Island is very important to Director Dai. It is an assessment of you by the higher-ups. It's normal for you to think more about it."

"Xiaotong, you know the main purpose of our trip this time, but I still want to ask you one more question. Do you think Doctor Li will..."

"will not"

Su Xiaotong interrupted Dai Jun before he could finish his words.

“I knew Yan Cheng before he came to our company, and we had dealt with each other privately a few times, so I know him quite well.

Although he is not the kind of person who will take revenge for every little grievance, he is definitely not the kind of person who will just smile and let the matter go if someone bullies him and gives him an apology.

The Chen family almost killed him at the beginning. If it weren't for the current Deputy Director Zhuang of Dianhai, who happened to be his leader in the army, and who spoke up for him after knowing about this, he might not be sure whether he is dead or alive now.

Expecting him to let the Chen family off easily? Haha, that's simply impossible.

Didn’t Director Zhong just say that he already has a partner, and they will go through the formalities as soon as that partner comes back.”

"Speaking of his partner, I'm also quite curious. Doesn't he know the current situation of the Luo family?"

"How could I not know? But Director Dai, do you think it is better to help someone in need or to add icing on the cake?"

"That's true, but Xiaotong, the Luo family is facing a very unusual situation now. Not everyone dares to light a fire. If the fire gets too big by mistake, it will explode."

"Haha, that's not something we should worry about. Anyway, let me see, there are so many uncles and aunts helping, I don't think it's a big problem, it's only a matter of time before Uncle Luo returns to work."

Dai Jun's personal situation is similar to that of Luo Yang and Su Xiaotong, except that he is ten years older and is the same age as Su Xiaotong's eldest brother.

The only difference is that his parents died during the war, so compared to the second generation whose parents are still alive, the support he can get is a little less, but it is not bad either. At least as long as he accumulates enough merits, his future will be worry-free.

Like Deputy Director Wang Hongli of the First Division, he must find reliable connections for himself again in order to have a chance to move up to a higher level in the future.

Dai Jun looked at Su Xiaotong deeply and did not continue the topic. The old man of the Su family was still alive and he must know much more than him who was just confused.

"Let's not talk about this, Xiaotong. Doctor Li seems to be quite skilled, right? When he arrested Feng Lianshun that day, I saw him pounce and pierce the acupuncture points. His speed was very fast. He should be able to protect himself, right?"

The second place is in Yangchao. On the day Feng Lianshun made a big noise, Dai Jun also took his men there.

When Li Yancheng rushed out to hold down Feng Lianshun, he happened to be with Lao Xu at the southern intersection. He was thinking about what to do when he saw that scene, which made him very curious about this doctor.

"Self-protection? Haha, don't underestimate Yan Cheng. His skills are definitely not as good as yours. But if it comes to a life-and-death fight, Director Dai, I'm not bragging for Yan Cheng, but you may not be able to beat him."

"What did you say?" Dai Jun looked at Su Xiaotong in disbelief.

"I'm not kidding. Yan Cheng's strength is very strong. Not just ordinary strength, but extremely strong. He is also familiar with acupuncture points. He also has a unique skill, which is that he hides needles so well that you can't find them at all.

I have had sex with him and it was extremely uncomfortable. Even if he doesn't use too much strength, as long as he touches you, you will feel very uncomfortable, because he can make full use of every acupuncture point on your body that he can touch, making you have no idea how your body will react after being touched by him.

You also saw what happened to Feng Lianshun that day. The needle he stabbed into Feng Lianshun's wrist made that guy's left hand temporarily unable to move, leaving him enough time to hold down that left hand and not let it loose, otherwise...

Also, Yan Cheng's shooting skills are very accurate, whether it's a close-range pistol or a long-range rifle, whether it's a fixed target or a moving target. If there is a shortcoming, it is that he has never shot anyone, so he may have a psychological burden.

But this is not a big problem. After all, he is a doctor and has seen a lot of birth, aging, illness and death. He also learned battlefield first aid in the army, so he certainly does not have any fear of death or injury. "

Everyone needs to go out on missions together and get to know each other better. When encountering emergencies, they will know how to cooperate. Su Xiaotong and Dai Jun have been on missions together and there is no difficulty in adapting, but Li Yancheng is different. It is always good to know each other better.

Listening to Su Xiaotong's story, Dai Jun no longer showed any surprise, but just listened silently. He was no longer at the age where he looked down on others.

……

At the same time, in the Chen Mansion far away in Hong Kong Island, Li Yancheng's former father-in-law Chen Yaozong, who was busy outside, was summoned back by a phone call from the old man at home.

After coming here, in the past three years, the Chen family has not planned to do business here except for developing some peripheral forces of their own.

If they had not had to, they would not have chosen to come to Hong Kong Island. This tiny place could not accommodate their ambitions.

They looked down upon the British capital, Chinese capital, or the major families here, and their eyes and minds were always on the north.

Like those people in Dongdao, they have bigger ambitions.

They have plenty of money, not to mention that there are people behind them who provide them with a steady stream of funds. When they first arrived in Hong Kong Island three years ago, some people bullied them and didn't want them to gain a foothold here, because the water in this pool is too small to accommodate so many cross-river dragons.

After the initial chaos, the Chen family quickly showed their fangs to the forces in Hong Kong Island. No matter whether you were from East Island, one of the four major families, or a British-funded enterprise, they were all bitten by them.

After taking this bite, the Chen family quickly retracted their fangs and began to quietly develop their own power.

The move they made made those people very fearful. First, several British companies withdrew from the battlefield because someone warned them.

The financial backers behind the Chen family include not only Dongdao but also the shadow of Chouguo. Those British investors dare not act too rashly.

The next to withdraw were the representatives of the East Island forces here, including some stragglers who retreated here from the mainland in the past and formed their own forces that did not belong to any party.

As for the remaining Chinese capital and the so-called four major families, they quickly stopped fighting upon seeing this. Everyone was divided, and no one wanted to be the first to jump in and engage in a head-on clash with this dragon that had crossed the river.

Doing so will only allow others to benefit.

As a result, in just less than two years, the Chen family had initially established a foothold in Hong Kong Island.

Through the development of the Chen family, other people also realized that this dragon from across the river had no intention of eating from the pot of Hong Kong Island. Everyone did not have to worry about getting a smaller share of the cake, and a dispute was dissipated.

This is Chen Yaozong's wisdom. He understands what his mission is. Whether it is to gain territory in Hong Kong Island or to compete with those old forces for food, they are all actions that put the cart before the horse. He will not lose the big picture for the small.

The financial backers behind him would not allow him to mess around in this tiny place.

However, Chen Yaozong has been a little irritated recently. If the destruction of the previous supply channel only made him feel a little painful, then the capture of Feng Lianshun, whose real name is Li Baoan, and being captured alive, made him feel quite hurt.

Although his real people had evacuated in advance and only a few provinces and cities were affected, the arrests of those who had been secretly developing over the years also made his layout in those provinces and cities over the years completely fail.

If we want to develop to the previous scale again, I won’t talk about how much money it will cost, the main reason is that the time cost is too high.

Because of this, he was severely criticized by the financial backers behind him.

But fortunately, he was the one closest to success among those trained by the sponsor, so they were willing to give him more time. Ten years? If that was not enough, then twenty years.

The financial backers behind him are very patient.

But Chen Yaozong knew very well that no matter how patient others were, he still needed to show some interim results from time to time, otherwise, he was afraid that he would not even be able to survive the first ten years.

Today, when he was outside planning his next move, the old man at home suddenly called and asked him to go back to discuss something important.

He returned to this seemingly unremarkable home with a heart full of questions.

"father"

"You're back, sit down..."

The old man of the Chen family, who was sitting in the yard with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked at his second son. He pointed to the armchair beside him and motioned him to sit down, then waved his hand to let everyone else standing in the yard leave.

Seeing that the old man asked everyone else to leave, it was obvious that he had something to say that was not convenient for outsiders to hear, and Chen Yaozong became even more curious.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

"Yao Zong, I've been feeling a little uneasy these past two days. My eyelids twitched a few times when I woke up this morning. I'm afraid something big is going to happen."

!!!

The old man’s words startled Chen Yaozong for a moment, and then he frowned.

"Dad, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I know my body. It's just some old ailments. It shouldn't be caused by my body. Yaozong, you should know that my premonitions are always accurate."

"I know." Chen Yaozong nodded: "If your premonition this time is correct, then it is no surprise that someone is coming from the north."

He would not doubt whether his old man was overthinking or what, because this was the trust earned with blood and tears.

It was thanks to the old man's incredibly accurate premonition that their family successfully avoided certain death several times.

This time is no exception. Since he has a bad feeling, he has to start making arrangements.

"Someone is coming from the north." The old man sighed. He turned his head from facing east and looked to the north. Although there was a house there, his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the house.

"Yao Zong, do you mean that the North already knows that our Chen family is the mastermind behind all this?"

"I think they should have known it since the day they destroyed our supply channel."

"Do you think it was your brother who betrayed us?"

Chen Yaozong pursed his lips and did not answer the old man's question.

He knew that the old man and the old lady had always felt guilty about his brother. His brother faked his death and escaped in order to save the family, and he had indeed suffered a lot outside.

The question asked by the old man did not require him to answer. It was as obvious as lice on a bald man's head.

The old man of the Chen family didn't wait for his second son to answer this question. He sighed and changed the subject and said, "Yao Zong, if the north really sends people over, how do you think they will deal with our family? Assassination or secret arrest?"

"I think assassination is more likely. Secret arrest? I don't think it's necessary. They can't take us back, and they don't have enough time to interrogate us one by one."

When saying these words, Chen Yaozong looked calm, as if he was talking about someone else's affairs.

The same is true of his father.

For them, since they embarked on this path, they no longer care about life and death.

However, no matter how indifferent you are, you still need to make the necessary preparations. Surrender without a fight? That's impossible.

This is Hong Kong Island, not the mainland. They will never surrender without a fight.

After coming here, they developed peripheral forces in preparation for this day. As an ancient poem goes, the duck knows first when the river water warms in spring. If any large-scale action is to take place in Hong Kong Island, the underground world will surely be the first to know about it.

However, Chen Yaozong did not notice any strange behavior during this period.

He knew that there were people from the mainland here, not only the news agency in the open, but also in secret.

He once asked Black Bee to use his work convenience to see if he could find out more about the matter. Not in great detail, but at least to know something.

Unfortunately, not to mention Wu Lihua, a second-line staff member, even Li Xueyi couldn’t find out anything.

The arrangement of the Second Department outside was not something that anyone could find out.

"Yao Zong, I asked you to send Yun Gang and his family away. How are your preparations going?"

Yun Gang, whose full name is Chen Yun Gang, is Chen Yun Wei's younger brother. He is 25 years old this year. He got married after coming to Hong Kong Island. His wife gave birth to a boy last month. He is the only fourth generation of the Chen family.

She is also the apple of the eye of Mr. and Mrs. Chen's eye.

The old lady is not at home. She has been at Chen Yungang's house taking care of her little great-grandson these days.
