Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 255 Regret
Like other people who had experienced special interrogation methods, when Cao Wanquan saw Li Yancheng again, he could not hide the fear in his eyes.

That's right, watching myself being controlled by others and telling some secrets that I wanted to hide, the feeling is really indescribable.

Perhaps no matter who sees the person who implemented that method, they will feel fear from the bottom of their heart.

When Lao Xu and Li Yancheng came in, Tian Linjun, the head of the investigation department, was questioning Cao Wanquan, and Su Xiaotong was standing nearby.

In fact, we can't get any more clues from Mr. Cao. We basically asked everything we could ask yesterday afternoon.

"Where did you find them? Are they okay?"

"Your wife and son live in the staff quarters of the instrument factory."

Tian Linjun’s answer left Cao Wanquan stunned.

He wanted to move, wanted to open his eyes, but unfortunately he couldn't do any of that. He could only show disbelief in his eyes.

"Impossible. I've been in Jiekou for three years. I know almost all the staff and workers in the instrument factory and the project team, but I've never seen them, mother and son."

Although his voice was small, Cao Wanquan's words were firm and resolute.

"Have you ever heard of the name Guan Xiaofeng?"

"Guan... So her name has changed to Guan Xiaofeng. I've heard of this name before and I know she's from the project team. I'm really..."

Having said this, Cao Wanquan suddenly stopped. He looked at Tian Linjun standing in front of him, and then tried to turn his eyes to look at the other people in the room.

"Is she... is she... is she... is she... the same as me?"

He suddenly understood why the people from the Social Affairs Bureau came to question him with the photo of mother and son.

"Have you arrested Guan Xiaofeng? What about my son? It can't be my son, right? Guan Xiaofeng probably did this because they threatened her with the child."

"Cao Wanquan, Guan Xiaofeng should have the same identity as you."

"Should?" Before Tian Linjun could finish his words, Cao Wanquan took over.

"What do you mean by should? Haven't you interrogated her yet? Even if she doesn't confess, wouldn't you be able to find out by using that method? You...didn't you catch her and let her run away?

What about my son? Chief Tian, ​​what about my son? If you catch him, can you let me see him, even just for a glance? "

Cao Wanquan doesn't care what Guan Xiaofeng is doing now, he only cares about his son.

After standing aside and listening for a few minutes, Li Yancheng lost interest in listening any further and turned around and walked out of the detention room. It was the same content over and over again.

This fool named Cao was controlled by others for so many years because of his weakness. He did so many things for the organization behind him, but in the end he only ended up being used as bait.

And it is very likely that his wife and children are also involved in this plan.

In other words, the person he cares about the most actually doesn't care about his life or death at all.

Come to think of it, we haven’t lived together for more than 20 years, so what kind of feelings can there be?
In other words, he always thought about his son and wanted to use his life to create a better life for his son.

In fact, we can't say that he is stupid. Cao Wanquan is such a smart man, how could he not know that his son would have no feelings for him?

Of course he could think of it, but he just didn't want to think about it.

Everything he did was risking his life and the pressure was enormous. To him, his son was his spiritual sustenance and the driving force of his actions. Without this sustenance and motivation, he might have been caught and shot in one of his previous missions.

Walking out of the interrogation room, Li Yancheng lit a cigarette for himself. The case had come to this point, with the deaths of two key figures and the disappearance of another key figure, and it seemed that it was impossible to proceed further.

All clues have now been completely cut off.

Taking advantage of this case, the Social Affairs Bureau successfully sent people to station inside the project team, and with Deputy Director Liu from the Security Department personally in charge, it was basically impossible for any problems to arise.

The main job of the Security Department is protection and prevention, so the case was transferred to one department as a whole.

But this case is now on the verge of becoming an unsolved case.

Huh? No, there is another person who will be sent back soon, Yin Anda.

The railway police caught him on the train and it seemed like he would arrive tomorrow.

Li Yancheng immediately shook his head again. This guy definitely wouldn't know that much. His superior was Cao Wanquan. It was impossible for him to know more than someone with the surname Cao.

"What are you shaking your head for?"

"Uh... Director, you're out too."

"Well, there's nothing to listen to. It's just the same old stuff over and over again. There's nothing new."

Lao Xu sighed and lit a cigarette. He was also under a lot of pressure.

All of a sudden, it seemed like there was no clue to the case, and I had no idea where to start. It was a really uncomfortable feeling.

The key is that now they are very sure that there is still a mastermind behind the scenes who has not been caught, like the mysterious boss mentioned by Cao Wanquan.

It should be Guan Xiaofeng and her son who are controlled by this person.

The people who were looking for Mao Chunan’s growth experience have just been sent out, and it is not known whether they can bring back any good news.

"Sincerity"

"Ok?"

"If we had used your method to interrogate Guan Xiaofeng this morning, wouldn't we be much more relaxed now?"

"Director, please stop joking. Even if the bureau chief agrees, the higher-ups won't agree."

"In fact, we should have acted first and consulted later, just like we did yesterday afternoon."

"Yeah," Li Yancheng agreed with this.

"But the interrogation of Guan Xiaofeng was actually very different from yesterday afternoon."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"If nothing was revealed yesterday afternoon, when the higher-ups hold me accountable, they can blame it on my personal grudge against him. After all, he was the one who first brought people to cause trouble for me and even showed a knife.

At that time, I can tell my leader that the reason I did that was because I was worried that he was instigated by someone and that someone wanted to harm me. This basically makes sense.

But interrogating Guan Xiaofeng is different. If nothing can be obtained from her, then the higher-ups must give an explanation to the project team, and someone must be sacrificed to calm those people's anger.

Moreover, there will definitely be people who will use this as an excuse to attack our Social Affairs Bureau and Mr. Wang, Mr. Fang and others.

They might even take advantage of this opportunity to achieve their long-cherished goal of controlling the Social Affairs Bureau, and even the headquarters and the Security Committee.

Director, I think this is what the higher-ups care about more, so they dare not make mistakes easily for fear of being criticized.

If we really do that today and don’t get what we want, we will be sinners.”

Old Xu looked at Li Yancheng in surprise, and after a long while he came to his senses and said, "How did you think so far? What did Xiaotong tell you?"

"What did I tell him, Chief?"

Just then, Su Xiaotong also walked out of the detention room.

In response to his question, Lao Xu repeated what Li Yancheng had just said.

After listening to this, Su Xiaotong was also surprised.

He didn't expect Li Yancheng to think so far, and what he said was not far off.

A thousand-mile dam can be breached by a single ant hole. They really dare not make any mistakes now, especially those mistakes of principle, which are more likely to be caught by those outside who are eyeing the fat piece of meat of the Social Affairs Bureau and want to pounce on it to get a piece of the pie.

"You think a lot, kid!"

Su Xiaotong raised his hand and patted Li Yancheng's arm.

"I was just thinking about it for no reason. I don't know if it's right or not."

"Yes, you are right, that is indeed the case." Su Xiaotong nodded in affirmation.

"My old man reminded me last night that I must be extremely careful during this period and must not make any mistakes.

Because of what we did yesterday, they are very angry over there.

At this point, I remembered that our old man asked me to bring a message to each of you two, but I forgot about it because I got busy last night. Now that we are talking about this, I will convey the old man's words. "

When Li Yancheng and Lao Xu heard that Mr. Su had something to tell Su Xiaotong, they were both shocked and quickly perked up.

"First, Director, my old man's original words were only eight words. He told you to proceed step by step and guard against arrogance and impatience.

My understanding is that, Director, you are only 40 years old this year, which is considered a young cadre. You have come this far and are already able to take charge of things on your own. In our unit, you can no longer be promoted. The next three to five years will be the time for you to lay a solid foundation. You must not make any mistakes, and don’t rush.”

"I understand, Xiaotong, go back and thank Mr. Su for me."

"No problem, I will definitely convey your words." Su Xiaotong nodded with a smile, then looked at Li Yancheng.

“As for you, Yan Cheng, my old man only found out yesterday that you have such a good interrogation skill. He believes that it is a double-edged sword that can kill the enemy but also hurt yourself.

The old man told me to tell you that sometimes the sword needs to remain unsheathed to intimidate the enemy.

He also said that you must control yourself and never do anything wrong just because you have the ability. You must abide by the discipline and be politically conscious.

"I've remembered this, Xiaotong. When you go back, please help me thank Mr. Su."

"I will definitely convey your thanks, Yancheng. My old man has some advice for you."

"you say"

"He said that if the case we are dealing with can be concluded by June, he would like you to study full-time at the General Cadre School for a few months. There just so happens that a training course will be held in July. He discussed this with Elder Wang and Elder Fang yesterday, and both agreed. Now it depends on your opinion.

Please think about it carefully and give me an answer as soon as possible."

Go to the General Cadre School for training! It’s a full-time class for several months!
Su Xiaotong's words made Li Yancheng's breathing suddenly stagnate, and his face was full of disbelief.

Old Xu on the other side was also extremely surprised. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Indeed, if Li Yancheng still considers such a good opportunity, he would be really ungrateful.

"Xiaotong, don't think about it. If I can go to the training, I will definitely go."

"Haha, I think that's the answer. To be honest, Yan Cheng, my old man told me last night that he would send you to a full-time training class. I'm jealous."

Su Xiaotong raised his arm and put it around Li Yancheng's shoulders.

"I dream of attending that training class, Director, what do you think?"

"Nonsense, I don't think anyone would say they don't want to go."

Lao Xu said without even thinking, and then he sighed: "Ah... Xiaotong, will Yancheng be transferred after the training?"

His words made the atmosphere between the three people suddenly become dull.

In fact, they had thought about the possibility that Li Yancheng might be transferred yesterday.

The reason is that the skills he possesses are no longer suitable for continuing to investigate a specific case.

It's not about transferring him away from the front line, but he may be asked to focus on the overall situation and serve the overall situation in the future.

This overall situation does not refer to the Social Affairs Bureau, but all units across the country that may encounter difficult cases, including the military.

"There's nothing going on at all, why are you thinking about it now?" Li Yancheng raised his hand and patted Su Xiaotong's shoulder, then patted Lao Xu's arm.

"You two, it's already ten past twelve, you don't plan to eat."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's eat first, why think so much. Eh? Yancheng, why don't you move?"

"Hey, my wife will bring me food later."

"Is it just for you?" Su Xiaotong, who had just raised his foot to walk towards the gate, stopped again.

"What else? If you want to eat, ask your wife to bring it to you."

"Hey, this girl, she really forgot her family now that she has a husband. No, I have to wait to eat your meal."

"Just go ahead. They're a newlywed couple and they're still enjoying themselves. Why are you joining in the fun?"

Lao Xu reached out and grabbed Su Xiaotong's arm and pulled him forward.

"Hey, hey, hey, Director, I don't accept it. How could that girl only bring food to Yancheng?"

"Tell your wife to bring you food tomorrow, and then you eat it in front of Yan Cheng to piss him off to death."

"Uh... No, they are not even close. My wife brought me food, why is he angry? He is not my wife's family. I am angry because I am his wife's family."

"Hahaha……"

Looking at the two figures walking away and listening to Su Xiaotong's increasingly quiet mumbling, Li Yancheng was so happy that he couldn't even straighten his back.

As for whether I will be transferred as I just mentioned, who cares!

The camp remains permanent, but the soldiers are transient. It doesn't matter where you go to do your job.

……

At the same time, Beijing Railway Station
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties was walking slowly through the entrance with the queue. When he was about to pass through the entrance gate, he looked back with regret and unwillingness written all over his face.

He never imagined that he would fail in the last forty-eight hours before success.

He always felt that his arrangement this time was foolproof, with both overt and covert steps not interfering with each other.

Even if the open line is exposed, the hidden line can still operate as usual and continue to complete the task.

But who would have thought that there would be a mistake and a bottom plate would be lost at such an important juncture.

They were on the verge of success, with only the last forty-eight hours left, but they failed in the previous forty-eight hours.

Although he was unwilling, the middle-aged man knew very well that he had to leave here. Only by staying alive could he continue to complete his mission.

"Comrade, please show us your train ticket, letter of introduction and work permit."

The conductor's voice awakened the middle-aged man who was lost in thought. He then realized that he had actually walked to the front of the hard sleeper car he was about to board in a trance.

He quickly handed the passenger ticket, berth ticket, bedding ticket and the carriage number tag in his hand to the conductor standing at the carriage door, and took out the letter of introduction and work permit issued by his unit from his jacket pocket and showed them to the conductor for inspection.

The red official seal on the letter of introduction was bright and a bit dazzling, Research Institute... hehe!
Strictly speaking, he is no longer a member of the research institute, because he has prepared a retreat for himself in advance. He is also the target unit of the next mission, a research institute located in Nanshi, the capital of Su Province.

He has already found a way to transfer himself to this unit.

This unit studies "eyes".

His next task is to obtain information about the "eyes" here.

After finding his berth according to his sleeper ticket, he threw his luggage on the berth, sat down on it, and let out a long sigh.

He forced himself to forget the defeat in Jing City as quickly as possible so that he could devote himself to the next task.

Failure is failure. There is no point in continuing to immerse yourself in it. Instead, it will make you feel depressed.

Although he forced himself to forget about what happened in Beijing, Guan Xiaofeng's beautiful face and her graceful figure even though she was in her forties would still appear in his mind unconsciously.

More importantly, Guan Xiaofeng's professional ability can provide him with strong support.

According to his original plan, if the mission in Beijing City could be completed successfully, then when he went to South City, he would transfer Guan Xiaofeng to this research institute.

With the two of them plus Guan Weizhen who is pretending to be crazy, the difficulty of completing the task will be greatly reduced.

But now...

Although there are people arranged by the organization for him there, to be honest, if those people can really complete the task, then why would they need him to come here?

He stroked his forehead with a headache, and for the first time he felt confused about his future.

……

"Xiaotong, was that Sun Yiqing's biological elder sister, Luo Yang's sister-in-law?"

"Yes, didn't your wife introduce you to her? When Xiao Min was just born, it was Sister Juan who brought her up. At that time, the country had just been liberated and everything was in ruins. The elders were so busy all day that they had no time to take care of the family.

At that time, the Sun family and your father-in-law's family lived in a small courtyard, and Sister Juan took the initiative to take care of Xiao Min until she was five years old, when Sister Juan went to the army.

Since then, Sister Juan rarely came back. When she came back for vacation occasionally, she would come and leave in a hurry. But over the years, she would always ask someone to bring back some delicious food for Xiao Min every two or three months.

We are all so envious, even Sun Yiqing, her biological sister, is envious of how good her sister is to Xiao Min."

"It's normal. How old was this Miss Juan back then? She was probably in her teens. She was still a child herself, but she took care of a baby for five years. To put it bluntly, how is the baby any different from her own child? It's normal for her to have stronger feelings for Xiao Min."

Li Yancheng took a bite of his meal and spoke in a muffled voice.

"Yeah, there's no difference..."
