Chapter 214 The first step

"Of course there is a difference, and it's a big difference."

After Chen Yaozong arranged for people to pack up, the old man patiently explained to him.

"If you want to use brutal force directly, you have to find a way to strengthen the security forces around you. If you want to bring us all back alive for trial, you have to send people to pay more attention in the New Territories.

It's not easy for them to bring so many of us back, maybe we still have a chance of survival."

The old man is almost eighty years old this year. He has seen too many life and death situations and soon calmed down.

Chen Yaozong is still a little behind his father in cultivating qi.

Now after hearing the old man's explanation, he quickly calmed down and his brain started working at full speed.

Based on his understanding of those people in the north, they definitely want to bring them all back to face legal trial.

But it is unrealistic to bring back so many living people. In other words, at least the main figures of the Chen family will be brought back. If their security forces are no match for the other side and these people are eventually caught, building a defense line in the New Territories in advance may be the last chance for the Chen family to survive.

Ask those gangs for help?
No, he was now extremely disappointed with those gangs. Using them to bully ordinary people, seize territory, and collect protection fees was fine, but if they came to a real fight, I guarantee that few of them would be able to withstand it.

This time I really can only ask for help from the people behind me.

"Dad, I understand. I will make arrangements after I send you over."

"Yeah." Seeing that he had calmed down, the old man nodded with satisfaction: "Yao Zong, you must remain calm when facing major events. Since things have already happened, we must work hard to find a ray of hope in this seemingly dead end and fight for a future."

"Yes"

"Let's go." The old man patted the armrest of the sofa and stood up.

"It just so happens that I miss my good little great-grandson too."

"Dad, I'm going to send Yun Gang and his family away first. What I mean is, how about you and my mom leave too?"

"Forget it. If your mother and I were to go through that, we might die at sea. We might as well just wait for them here. I want to see if they are still that capable here."

……

At this time, Feng Xianrong had already brought Su Xiaotong and a few others by bicycle to the shantytown under Lion Rock.

A very typical slum area.

Seeing this, Li Yancheng suddenly remembered the crosstalk performed by Teacher Guo.

When it's drizzling outside, it's moderately raining inside. When it's moderately raining outside, it's heavily raining inside. Sometimes the rain is so heavy that we have to go outside to take shelter from the rain.

Teacher Guo is definitely a person with a real life, and the jokes he makes up are not made up at random.

This house is made of broken wooden boards. I don't know what kind of rubbish the roof is made of. When it rains, the rainwater accumulates on top and flows into the house. It's heavier than the rain outside.

The houses here are built without any rules. It seems that I can build them however I want.

Under the leadership of Feng Xianrong, they even passed through the homes of several families.

This was also the first time Su Xiaotong came here. He asked out of curiosity and found out that the land where those families built their houses was indeed a road before, which was occupied by them, so they had to let the people living behind them pass through their homes.

As for what to do at night, just knock on the door, what else can you do.

Whoever’s house cannot be opened will have it demolished. Whether this will cause any conflicts is another matter.

Li Yancheng felt that he could definitely knock down the house they built with one kick.

No wonder Feng Xianrong said that if you hide it here, no one will find it for a while. It is true that no one can find it. If you are not from here, who would have thought that the road is in someone else's house.

There are quite a lot of people living in this shantytown. It is hard to tell how many houses there are in total, but it stretches for a large area and the population is probably less than 100,000.

After pushing the bicycle into another house, Li Yancheng, who was walking at the back, suddenly found that the owner of the house who was sitting outside repairing the tire of his bicycle was about to close the door. He quickly pulled out the gun from behind his back with his right hand and pointed it at the middle-aged man.

Su Xiaotong and Dai Jun, who were walking in front of him, reacted the same way as he did, and the three of them took out their guns almost at the same time.

The difference was that he and Su Xiaotong pointed their guns at the man behind them who was about to close the door, while Dai Jun looked around them and then stared straight ahead.

The middle-aged man who was pointed at by two guns suddenly felt cold sweat dripping down his forehead. He quickly raised his hands high and whispered, "We are one family, we are one family, we are one family."

At this time, Feng Xianrong, who was walking in the front, had also turned around. Like the middle-aged man, he kept saying "we are our people".

"Xianrong, why are you becoming more and more ignorant of the rules? You didn't even tell us in advance when you came to our own people. What if something went wrong just now?"

Dai Jun frowned and criticized in a low voice while putting the gun back into his waist.

"It's my problem, Director Su, Chief Li, I'm really sorry, it was my negligence."

The cold sweat on Feng Xianrong's forehead was even more than that of the subordinate who had just closed the door. The reactions of these three people were too quick. They were already on guard at the slightest movement.

He had originally planned to introduce them after they came in, as this room was their destination.

Su Xiaotong and Li Yancheng waved their hands, as long as nothing really happened, it would be fine.

They propped up the bicycle, and then untied Chen Yunwei, who was fixed on the back seat, and released her to the ground.

The most surprised person was actually Dai Jun. Before leaving Beijing, the three of them practiced at the training ground for two days, mainly to let them and Li Yancheng adapt to each other.

He thought that after two days of training, he had a certain understanding of this young doctor. However, judging from the way he drew his gun and his reaction speed just now, he knew nothing about him and might not even have grasped half of his grasp.

After putting Chen Yunwei on the ground, Li Yancheng sat on the stool at the call of the middle-aged man who had just closed the door. He turned around and looked around the room. It was basically the same as the house he had just passed by, both were shabby.

Sitting there, he could see many cracks on the roof. Seeing him look up, the middle-aged man gave him a cigarette and explained with a smile that when it rains, they will pull out the tarpaulin and lay it on the roof, which can basically guarantee that the house will not leak.

I don’t dare to lay it out normally because if I’m not careful someone might steal it.

Su Xiaotong was also sitting there, looking around. After watching for a while, he stood up and walked to the west wall of the room and knocked a few times.

"There's another room over here, right? Before I came in just now, I saw that the outside of this room seemed to be larger than this space."

"Director Su, you have good eyesight." Feng Xianrong raised his thumb and gestured.

"There is a one-meter space between this wall and the outer wall. It is the passage we dug to the basement. Director, Director Su, time is tight. Why don't we go down and interrogate Chen Yunwei now to understand their internal situation first, and let Lao Liu cook for us upstairs."

"Okay, let's start now."

Dai Jun didn't waste any words and just stood up.

Their time was indeed very tight. This place was just difficult to find, not impossible to find. Money talks. The Chen family had so much money, and if they spent it, it wouldn't take long for them to smell the scent and get here.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his suggestion, Feng Xianrong and the middle-aged man Lao Liu walked to the west wall together, moved the cabinet against the wall, then reached out and pushed the wall. The wooden board that looked no different from other places was pushed open, revealing a door.

Seeing this, Li Yancheng said nothing, bent down, carried Chen Yunwei on his shoulders, and walked towards the door.

……

The basement was dug very deep, at least four or five meters, and the space was also very large, divided into several rooms, about a hundred square meters in area, and the smell was not very pleasant.

There is no electricity downstairs, so they can only light kerosene lamps, but it doesn’t matter since they don’t live here anyway.

"There is a passage over there that leads to our other room. It's not in the same alley as Lao Liu's room."

"Xianrong, how long have you been digging here?" After coming down, Dai Jun looked around curiously with a flashlight.

"The digging has already started under Lao Guan's leadership." Feng Xianrong raised his hand and patted the earth wall beside him with some emotion.

“After I came here, I dug for another three years to get it to where it is today.”

Lao Guan, the team leader before Feng Xianrong, died here five years ago. He used up his last bit of strength to pass back a very important message.

After receiving the news, the country successfully prevented a very targeted destruction and saved the huge losses that were likely to be caused. Li Yancheng didn't know who this Lao Guan was, but from the heavy faces of Su Xiaotong and the other three when they heard the name, it can be seen that this should be an unsung hero.

When he was receiving ideological education in the bureau at the beginning of the month, he went into the bureau's honor room and saw that three of the four walls were covered with densely packed photos.

Those were some of the people who sacrificed on this front after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and they were only from the Beijing Social Affairs Bureau.

The Beijing Municipal Social Affairs Bureau currently has a total of six to seven hundred front-line staff, and the number of photos posted on the wall is enough to replace all of them with some left over.

For people like Lao Guan, their photos cannot be put on the wall, and even few people know whether Guan is his last name.

Like the team leader Feng Xianrong in front of him, and Lao Liu above, as well as the boatman just now and the man who provided them with bicycles at Kwun Tong Pier, these people themselves don’t even know if they can remember their real names.

If they can return together alive after completing this mission, that would be the best outcome for them.

in case……

Li Yancheng didn't think any further. He put Chen Yunwei, who was on his shoulders, on the ground, let her back lean against the wall, then took out a needle bag from his pocket, took out a few long needles and prepared to start his interrogation.

……

Half an hour later, when Chen Yunwei fell into a coma again, Li Yancheng, Su Xiaotong and Dai Jun stood up very satisfied. They got a lot of secrets about the Chen family from this woman.

And what about Feng Xianrong?
His mouth was open so wide that you could see his throat.

As a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, he certainly knew acupuncture, but he never imagined that acupuncture could be used in this way.

While he was still in shock, he suddenly felt someone patting his arm twice. He quickly looked over and saw that it was his leader Dai Jun.

"Director"

"What did you see?"

"Huh? I didn't... I didn't see anything."

"Remember our confidentiality agreement and keep everything you just saw to yourself."

"Yes, I remember."

Dai Jun was also at the scene of Feng Lianshun's arrest that day. It was the first time he saw such a strange interrogation method. He was shocked beyond words at the time.

It was also at that time that he understood why this young doctor was able to rise to the position of deputy section chief of a pre-trial department so quickly, and that the position of section chief was specially reserved for him.

There is really no one who can replace you.

No matter what kind of criminal he is, he can easily get a confession and obtain some information that he may never get through normal interrogation. He is simply invincible in this business.

No wonder when the superiors decided to send him to Hong Kong Island, the leader told him that it didn’t matter whether he came or not, as it was mainly Li Yancheng who came, and he was strictly ordered to protect this person.

Today was the second time he had witnessed this interrogation method with his own eyes. Although he still felt a little emotional, he was no longer so shocked.

It is impossible to completely avoid Feng Xianrong during the interrogation here, so everything that needs to be made clear must be made clear.

Although he had suppressed his shocked expression, Feng Xianrong still couldn't help but glance at Li Yancheng from time to time. His eyes were as if he was looking at a monster.

They had asked all the questions they needed to ask, and there was nothing to do down there any longer, so the group of four went back up there.

Old Liu, whose meal was not ready yet, was a little confused. He thought that he was too slow and these people came up because they were too hungry, so he hurriedly apologized.

Come to think of it, they said they were going to interrogate him, and even if he cooperated, it would take at least an hour. It's only been half an hour, and he never thought that the interrogation had already ended.

"It's alright, Lao Liu, just go about your business. Isn't Hongfang here today?"

"There's some work over there and I asked him to help. He should be back soon."

Hongfang is a lesbian, her full name is Zheng Hongfang. She and Lao Liu pretend to be a couple and live here. If they want to hide their identities well, they must be like ordinary people, working when they should and doing what they should do.

There just happened to be some odd jobs there today, and she could earn more than ten or twenty Hong Kong dollars in the morning, which was already a lot.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Before he could finish his words, Zheng Hongfang had already returned.

Dai Jun told her to take good care of Chen Yunwei for the next two days. This woman seemed harmless, but unexpectedly she had several lives on her hands. Even Li Yancheng was a little surprised when he interrogated her just now, which really confirmed what he said.

do not judge a book by it's cover.

As for whether to take her back for trial, that depends on whether it is convenient to go.

After explaining everything to Zheng Hongfang, the four of them got together and started discussing their next plan.

The information Feng Xianrong and his team had obtained before was basically accurate. There were two things they didn't know about now. One of them was that the Chen family not only had gunmen supporting them from Dongdao, but also several foreigners.

There are more than twenty of them in total, well-armed and experienced.

After hearing this from Chen Yunwei just now, Dai Jun and the others were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats on the spot.

If they didn't know this, they would just go up there foolishly and end up delivering food to other people.

The second piece of information that was not known was even more important. The Chen Yaozong that Feng Xianrong's men were following was just an impostor.

The real Chen Yaozong is elusive, and even Chen Yunwei doesn't know where her father is.

"What should we do now? Fight that impostor and interrogate him after capturing him? What about those gunmen following him? Our people may not be able to defeat those people." Su Xiaotong frowned tightly.

“Isn’t there another person who knows?” Dai Jun touched his chin and narrowed his eyes.

"Are you talking about that thing she mentioned... Vinod?" Su Xiaotong looked down at the notebook in his hand.

"That's right. This foreigner is the spokesperson for the Ugly Country's financial sponsor behind the Chen family in Hong Kong. Didn't Chen Yunwei also confess that he must know the whereabouts of her father?"

"Director Dai, you should know that Citibank is not a place that people like us can enter. Even if we get in, we may not be able to meet Vinod smoothly. Even if we meet him, who among us can speak English?"

After listening to the conversation between Dai Jun and Su Xiaotong for a while, Feng Xianrong couldn't help but remind him when he saw that his leader seemed to be planning to take action against Vinod.

The Vinod they are talking about is known as a client manager at Citibank’s Hong Kong Island branch.

The foreigners who work as account managers in such foreign banks only serve foreigners or very wealthy Chinese clients, and they rarely see other people.

As for going to where he lives, it is too dangerous, and no one there speaks English, so even if we catch Vinod, we won’t be able to interrogate him.

"I can speak English, so communicating with foreigners shouldn't be a problem."

Li Yancheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

His words startled several people. Su Xiaotong suddenly thought of something and asked uncertainly, "Yancheng, did you learn this from your grandfather?"

When investigating Li Yancheng's archival materials, the old man who adopted him must also be investigated.

When the old man was young, he studied medicine at the Western Medical Bureau of the Qing Dynasty. Among the people who taught them were foreigners from the church. It is recorded in the archives that he mastered English fluently.

Li Yancheng's file only records Russian, but he learned medical knowledge from his grandfather, so it is not impossible that he also learned some English. The environment was still very relaxed in the 1950s.

"Yes, I learned it from my grandfather." Li Yancheng nodded.

He had the memory of the original owner learning English from his grandfather when he was a child, but he didn't learn it well. It was absolutely impossible for the original owner to communicate with foreigners at his level.

But now it's him, and his English is pretty good.

Having solved the communication problem, the next thing was how to get in touch with Vinod.
