Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 390 Decision
The man named Dong Hai was also a little confused when asked.

The task he received was to keep a close eye on Li Yancheng, the chief of the Preliminary Investigation Section of the First Operation Division of the Beijing Social Affairs Bureau, but judging from the look of his old friend, this man is no longer the chief.

No matter what he is now, the question is whether they should target the person who becomes the section chief, or just target Li Yancheng no matter what position he holds.

Dong Hai and Qing Chuan looked at each other in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After a while, the man named Dong Hai sitting on the bicycle stammered, "I... I think... I think it should be... this guy named... Li Yancheng."

He wasn't sure and his words were intermittent, but after saying this he seemed to remember something, and without waiting for Qingchuan to finish his words, he hurriedly asked again.

"Qingchuan, how do you know this Li Yancheng? I've never heard you mention that you know anyone from the Social Affairs Bureau."

"Uh... I can't say that I know Li Yancheng. I can only say that I know him, but I'm not sure if he knows my name is Liu Qingchuan."

???

Dong Hai looked at the old friend standing there in a daze, without saying a word, waiting for his explanation.

Liu Qingchuan did not disappoint him and the next sentence was an explanation.

"The pregnant woman who just sent someone off at the entrance of our company saw it, didn't she?"

"Yeah, I saw it." Dong Hai nodded.

"She is Li Yancheng's lover."

In fact, when Luo Min first came to work at the East City Library, everyone in the unit only knew that her husband was a public security officer who worked in the Third Security Department of the Municipal Bureau. They only knew his name, and no one knew any other specific information.

It was not until the unsuccessful kidnapping incident broke out that everyone realized that the man was not a police officer, but a social affairs bureau staff member wearing a police uniform, and a section chief at that.

"She is..." Dong Hai was stunned. He moved his mouth for a long time before he could say the following words: "What is Li Yancheng's current position?"

"I don't know." Liu Qingchuan shook his head. "I just heard our curator calling Li Yancheng Director Li when he greeted him some time ago. Then I knew he was no longer the section chief, but I don't know what his specific position is."

Dong Hai was silent for a while before he spoke: "I think the person they want us to keep an eye on is Li Yancheng, but I don't know why they want us to keep an eye on him.

You and his wife are colleagues, so it is not difficult for us to complete this task."

"Not difficult?" Liu Qingchuan frowned: "Donghai, you think it's not difficult to keep an eye on a staff member of the Social Affairs Bureau?"

"It's really not difficult!" Dong Hai nodded. "I haven't finished explaining the mission just now. They asked us to keep an eye on this person, not to know what he does every day, but just to know whether he is in Beijing."

? ? !

Liu Qingchuan looked at Dong Hai in disbelief. He even raised his hand to pick his ears, as if he wanted to see if there was something wrong with his ears.

"You heard it right. We just need to pay attention to whether this Li Yancheng is in Beijing. If we find that he is not in Beijing for more than two consecutive days, we should report to them through the special channel that cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary."

After making sure that he had not heard wrong, Liu Qingchuan calmed down. He took out a cigarette and threw it to Dong Hai, then lit one for himself. He took several puffs before speaking.

"Then you can report now."

"What do you mean?" Dong Hai looked at Liu Qingchuan in confusion.

"Li Yancheng hasn't been in Beijing for at least half a month."

"how do you know?"

"Because whenever he is around, he would drive over to pick up his wife every day. Sometimes, when he is not busy at work, he would even stay here with his wife to work. Everyone in our unit knows about it. The women in the unit are almost envious of his wife, saying that she married a good man.

I don’t remember exactly when, but I haven’t seen him for at least half a month. Now his wife’s brother comes to pick her up from get off work every day.”

Dong Hai was indeed a little confused now. He was afraid when he received the task, but there was nothing he could do no matter how scared he was. The three of them had the handle in those people's hands, and they had to find a way to complete the task.

But now it can be accomplished so easily?
After being stunned for a long time, he came to his senses: "No, Qingchuan, wait a minute, you said that Li Yancheng hasn't been seen for half a month. What if he is not on a business trip, but is busy with other work and has no time to pick up his lover?"

"Probably not." Liu Qingchuan shook his head. "His wife's brother always drives his car to pick her up every day. If he is still in Beijing, how could he let someone else drive his car for such a long time? Even if he agrees, his company will not agree."

"This……"

Now Dong Hai didn't know what to say. He never expected that this mission, which he thought might cost the lives of three of them, could be completed so easily.

Liu Qingchuan didn't know what to say, but didn't the mission requirement say that the target of the mission must report if he is not in Beijing for two consecutive days? Now it is indeed possible that he has left Beijing, and for more than two days, at least half a month.

"Are you familiar with Li Yancheng's lover?"

After the two of them sat in silence for a long time, Dong Hai spoke first.

"We are just colleagues. I am more than 20 years older than him. How can we be familiar with each other? When we meet outside, the most we can do is nod to each other.

Do you want me to verify this with Li Yancheng's lover?"

Liu Qingchuan understood what his old friend meant.

"That's right. I think it's better to confirm this matter. You and her are colleagues, so even if you are not familiar with each other, you can still ask around.

If he has really left Beijing, then our mission is accomplished."

"call……"

Liu Qingchuan didn't respond, but just lowered his head and took several puffs of his cigarette. Just when his old friend was getting a little impatient waiting for his reply, he raised his head and spoke.

However, what he said had nothing to do with the mission. Although he raised his head, his eyes did not fall on the old friend. Instead, he looked ahead without focus. What he said sounded like he was talking to himself, and also like he was talking to the man sitting on the bicycle.

"Dong Hai, for so many years, the three of us have been controlled by them, helping them do these soul-selling things. It has been twenty-one years, and we are all over forty years old.

How many more decades do we have left? The missions they send us are more dangerous than the last, just like the surveillance mission this time. It's obvious that they want us to die.

If that’s the case, since I’m going to die anyway, why don’t I die in a carefree way?”

Liu Qingchuan's words made Dong Hai's eyes widen.

He never expected that his old friend, with whom he had worked together for more than 20 years, would say something like this today.

Looking at the old fellow's dead look, he suddenly felt a little flustered.

"Qing... Qingchuan, it's fine... it's fine, why are you saying... saying such things?
Our mission this time is not difficult!" "Isn't it difficult?" Liu Qingchuan's gaze fell on Dong Hai.

“Dong Hai, he is from the Social Affairs Bureau. Although it is unclear what position he holds now, just the fact that he can drive a special car is not low.

Keeping an eye on his movements, isn't this courting death? Don't they know that this mission is likely to expose us?"

After asking this question, he did not wait for Dong Hai to speak, and answered himself: "No, they know that this mission is dangerous, but they don't care at all.

And can't you see? They're probably in trouble, too.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to be assigned such proactive tasks one after another during this period of time.

Think about how all the members of the Beijing team were arrested before, so let’s not talk about this.”

At this point, Liu Qingchuan waved his hand in annoyance: "Although their arrest will not implicate us, it also means that problems have begun to arise.

Think again about the person we were asked to investigate last time, Dong Hai, about whom we couldn't find anything. You should be very clear about what kind of person would have no information at all.

Also, don't forget that once those files are checked, there will be traces left.

Adding to this time, alas... I don’t know when this kind of days will end.

Dong Hai, I can already see our end. I am not afraid of death, but what about my wife and children? You, me, and He Guang, we all have families.

If the three of us are eventually arrested by the Social Affairs Bureau as lurkers and sentenced, what will happen to them? Will they still be able to live as human beings in the future?
Huh... I have been thinking about this problem for a while. I am so anxious that I can't sleep every night. Look at my hair, it has been falling out in clumps recently.

Brother, I can’t bear this pressure any more.”

After hearing what Liu Qingchuan said, Dong Hai didn't know what to say. He himself had been under a lot of pressure during this period.

Well, although the three of them were lurkers, what they had done before was just to collect some semi-public information, analyze it, compile it into complete information and then pass it on to the other side.

Is this a crime? Of course it is, but this method of collecting information allows the three of them to deceive themselves. After all, the information they collected is semi-public, and some of it can be seen in newspapers.

All they have to do is aggregate.

But things have changed since this year. First they were asked to investigate a person's information. They had no choice but to try every possible way to find out. During the process they must have used some dishonorable means, which made their sins even more serious.

Now, the situation has developed to the point where they are asked to monitor the whereabouts of the staff of the Social Affairs Bureau. This...

He didn't even dare to think about what the next mission would be, killing someone? Or sabotaging? Or stealing some confidential information?
Liu Qingchuan said he couldn't sleep, and Dong Hai wanted to say, he was the same.

It is said that if you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.

Haha, he felt that this was absolutely right.

Now he even dared not to make eye contact with people in police uniforms, for fear that if he did, they would discover something was wrong with him and rush over to arrest him.

After a long silence, Dong Hai sighed: "Alas... Qingchuan, I understand your feelings, but what can we do? Once you enter this business, don't even think about quitting. In our lifetime... Alas..."

Accept your fate?
There was a strange look in Liu Qingchuan's eyes. He didn't want to accept his fate, and he didn't want his wife and children to bear the infamy.

But he didn't say these words to Dong Hai again.

He just nodded: "I understand, I will try to find out the whereabouts of the target person."

As he spoke, he raised his arm and looked at the time: "It's already past four o'clock, let's do it tomorrow. I'll get back to you tomorrow."

Seeing that he agreed to inquire about the information, Dong Hai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qingchuan, do you think we should tell He Guang about this mission?"

"Of course we have to tell him. This is the mission for the three of us, so we must tell him."

"Okay." Dong Hai, who was sitting on the bicycle, reached out and patted Liu Qingchuan's arm: "Then I'll go to He Guang and talk about this.

Qingchuan, this mission mainly depends on you, thank you for your hard work."

"I understand." Liu Qingchuan nodded.

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

Liu Qingchuan stood there motionless as he watched his old friend, with whom he had worked for more than 20 years, get on his bicycle and leave. He looked down at the cigarette in his hand, which was still quite a bit left, and then he raised his hand and took several puffs.

While smoking, he looked at the familiar figure gradually moving away, a self-deprecating smile appearing on his face.

As soon as a smile appeared on his face, his face quickly turned into a determined look.

He decided that he would end this life of being neither human nor ghost. He didn't want to be scolded by his own children in the future.

call……

The cigarette butt in his hand was already burning, so he pinched the last bit of the cigarette butt between the nails of his thumb and index finger and took another puff, then threw it to the ground and stomped it out.

After stepping on the cigarette butt, he looked back at the gate of his unit. There was an inexplicable look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking. Soon, he turned and walked towards the hospital not far away.

Inside the gate, Luo Min, who knew her man would be back in a day or two, was having a silly laugh in the office. She didn't know that someone was trying to take advantage of her man at the gate.

……

Of course, Li Yancheng, who was sitting on the train, had no way of knowing that his every move had actually touched the hearts of people in Hong Kong Island.

He was the only one in the sleeper compartment. He had nothing to do and couldn't sleep. He was sitting cross-legged on the berth, looking down at the notebook in his hand.

The contents recorded in the notebook were some of the confessions from the criminals he assisted in interrogating during this business trip.

During the past ten days, he first went from east to west to Gansu Province, then went to Henan Province, then returned to Gansu Province, and then took a plane from Lanzhou City, Gansu Province to Guangzhou, and now he is returning to Beijing from Guangzhou.

It can be said that he has been running on the road non-stop almost all the time during this period.

The harvest is also full.

The record he was reading at the moment was a vague clue about Beijing City that one of the criminals had given during the interrogation in Yangcheng.
