Chapter 404 Mission
"Boss Dong, there has been no response for such a long time, and there has been no other movement. It seems that the last information group you left in Beijing has also been trapped."

"Did Li Te send you here today just to watch the joke?"

The old man surnamed Dong looked at Special Envoy Li, who was sitting opposite him, with an uneasy look on his face and spoke in a sinister tone.

"Boss Dong, you misunderstood." Special Envoy Li waved his hand and said, "Didn't I tell you that we are in the same boat? How could I laugh at you?

After all, if anything happens to the information group, it won’t do me any good, right? Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore.

Boss Dong, I believe you should have felt that you have been targeted during this period of time, and you want to find someone but can't find him, right?"

Old Man Dong didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly with a gloomy face.

"No doubt, they are from the north." Seeing him nod, Special Envoy Li continued calmly.

"People from the north?" Old Man Dong frowned. "The people I sent out have been keeping a close eye on those three passages. People coming from the north have always been in their sight."

"Boss Dong, the people from the north I'm talking about have been here for a long time, not just recently."

"Didn't you say that someone with special interrogation abilities would definitely be coming over?"

Old Man Dong's words made Special Envoy Li's eyes flash with confusion.

Yes, he did think that if the people over there wanted to get something out of him, they would definitely send Li Yancheng over, but judging from the current situation, that didn't seem to be the case.

Old Man Dong did send people to guard the three passages and took photos of almost every person who came through. Special Envoy Li looked at these photos every day. He didn't dare to say whether there were other people from the Social Affairs Bureau among these people, after all, he had been away for such a long time.

But he was very sure that Li Yancheng was not among them.

While the two of them were discussing things in the tea room, this tea room which Old Dong thought was very safe had actually been approached by the people from the Hong Kong Island Group.

"Team leader, according to the information we have gathered from our investigation, this teahouse is the secret base of that Dong. He never goes in or out through the front door, but always through the back door. I have drawn a map here."

After listening to the report from his team members, Jiang Jianhong put down the telescope and looked down at the simple map on the table.

"Team leader, look, these courtyards were also bought by Dong in the name of someone else. He always walks in and out this way. He comes out of the back door of the teahouse and enters this courtyard, then comes out from the side door, enters this courtyard again, and then walks this way...

In this way, I passed six courtyards in succession and finally came out from this side, exactly one block away from the teahouse.

But according to our observation, this courtyard, this courtyard, and this…"

The team member who was explaining the map pointed to three more courtyards circled in red on the map.

"We suspect that these three courtyards are also under the control of Mr. Dong. If he walked from this side, he would end up on another street after exiting this area."

"This old fellow is like a cunning rabbit with three burrows." Jiang Hongjian said with a sneer, pulling the corner of his mouth.

After saying that, he picked up the telescope and looked at the teahouse diagonally opposite, and then looked at the shantytown behind the teahouse.

After looking for two or three minutes, he put down the telescope and looked at the simple map on the table again, then reached out and tapped heavily on the map a few times.

“If nothing unexpected happens, the people living in this area should all be Old Man Dong’s people, or people who have some superficial or deep relationship with him.

This old man came here in 1948, and in the past twenty years or so, I don’t know how many visible and invisible forces he has established here.”

The man who had just reported had his pupils shrink unconsciously when he looked at the map on the table, and spoke in disbelief.

"Team leader, are you saying that all the people living in this area belong to him?"

"I dare not say 100%, but 70 to 80 percent is definitely no problem." Jiang Hongjian raised his hand, closed his eyes and pinched his nose bridge while speaking.

"Well, how about following that Li guy?"

"The situation is not good. As you know, Team Leader, Li has been in this business for many years. He knows all the tricks. He is very slippery. If you follow him, you will be thrown off in less than ten minutes. We almost lost a brother two days ago."

Jiang Hongjian didn't say anything, but just shook his head with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

Of course he knew that the guy named Li was difficult to track. This guy had been in this business for thirty or forty years, and had been a double intelligence agent in the years before liberation.

To be honest, these people under his command are no match for this kind of person who has been tempered by blood and fire on special battlefields over the years.

This kind of thing cannot be solved by simply stacking people.

He stood in front of the window and looked outside. After thinking for a while, he slowly said, "From now on, I will follow him personally."

When the "team leader" heard him say that he would follow the team personally, the team member's face changed drastically.

"Li Xueyi knows you."

Special Commissioner Li did know Jiang Hongjian. To be more precise, the two knew each other.

When he transferred from the army to work in the Social Affairs Bureau, a man named Li served as his instructor for two years.

This is why even though this so-called Special Envoy Li had undergone partial plastic surgery on his face, Jiang Hongjian still recognized him as Li Xueyi at first glance.

Even though the two people knew each other, Jiang Hongjian still had to personally follow the man named Li, and the possibility of him being exposed was very high.

Given Li Xueyi's current identity, if Jiang Hongjian is exposed, the danger will be extremely great and there is a high probability that he will lose his life.

Losing his life is not the worst outcome. If he is captured alive, as the leader of the Hong Kong Island Group, he has the identity information of all the members, which would be fatal to the entire Hong Kong Island Group.

However, if we really want to say who is most likely to track down Li Xueyi and find out his whereabouts, Jiang Hongjian is the most likely one.

Of course he knew what would happen if he was not careful, but...

"Send someone to invite the deputy team leader over. I want to tell him something."

Looking at Jiang Hongjian who looked determined, the team member sighed slightly, turned around and walked out of the house where they were.

Li Xueyi didn't know that the current leader of the Hong Kong Island group was a student he once taught, and that this student was preparing to fight a desperate battle with him, his instructor, in order to complete the mission 20 years later.

Of course, even if they knew he wouldn't care, and there was no way they could care, because they had no choice in this contest.

Li Xueyi himself was actually very clear that he was just a living target pushed to the front by Department C to attract attention.

It's not that he doesn't want to leave Hong Kong Island and go to a country where no one knows him, to live out the last period of his life leisurely and no longer live such a precarious life, but there is no way. As I said, since he embarked on this path forty years ago, he has had no choice in his life.

Jiang Hongjian also had no choice. He had to complete the task. The position of team leader was never meant for anyone to sit on and enjoy. It was a responsibility, and he had to live up to the oath he made when he joined the organization and later when he joined the Social Affairs Bureau.

"Team Leader, I still think your decision is a bit risky. What if..."

"There is no chance of that happening. If I really fail, I will not give them the chance to catch Jiang Hongjian alive."

Jiang Hongjian sat there and talked while loading bullets into the magazine. He stopped after filling five magazines in succession. He looked up at the deputy team leader sitting opposite him. His face was very calm, as if he was not talking about himself.

Just as the deputy team leader was about to speak, he pointed at the collar of his clothes.

"I've already prepared the cyanide here." Looking at the two collar tips that were obviously bulging more than other parts of the clothes, the deputy team leader and several other team members in the room fixed their eyes and their faces turned ugly.

"Don't worry about me. This is our mission."

Looking at everyone's solemn expressions, Jiang Hongjian smiled indifferently and reached out to load a magazine on the table into the gun.

"click"

After loading the bullet, he put the pistol on his waist and put the other four magazines in his pocket.

"Arrange a few more people to follow behind me and keep a good distance. No one should come up unless I have the situation under control."

"Hongjian..."

Seeing that the deputy team leader wanted to say something, Jiang Hongjian raised his hand to signal.

"Okay, I've made up my mind, so I won't say anything more."

After saying this, he picked up the simple map on the table and looked at it carefully for a while.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Li Xueyi is the target who was pushed to the front. When you follow me later, please pay more attention to the periphery and don't let others follow you.

In addition, all exits of this alley are guarded by at least two people. The man named Dong may come out from anywhere, so you must pay attention to the periphery when following him. When you decide to take action, you must be steady, accurate and ruthless, and never drag your feet.

By the way, have you arranged the manpower for the northern route?"

"Everything has been arranged over there, don't worry. As long as the operation goes smoothly here, we can hand the people over to them safely, and they will be transferred to the north soon. Once we cross that line, we won't have to worry about anything."

"Don't be careless." Jiang Hongjian shook his head.

"Dong has been lurking in this business for so many years, maybe he has some backup in the north. Send someone to contact them as soon as possible and tell them to pay attention to safety.

We must not let things go smoothly here, or else problems will arise over there and all our efforts will be wasted.”

"it is good"

The deputy team leader nodded, turned around and signaled to a team member, who immediately stood up and walked out of the house.

"call……"

Seeing that the deputy team leader had already made the arrangements, Jiang Hongjian let out a breath, reached out to pick up the cigarette on the table and lit one for himself, then stood up and walked to the window to look out. After looking for a few seconds, he turned around, glanced at the people in the room, and clapped his hands twice.

"Comrades, this is probably the most dangerous operation of our Hong Kong Island Group, even more dangerous than the one last year. We have no choice, and we don't need to make a choice."

Having said that, he raised his clenched fist and hammered his left chest twice, making a banging sound.

"We have faith here. Tell all the comrades who participated in this operation to leave a last message to their families and give it to the liaison team. If anyone fails to come back...

Okay, I won't say any more, let's start according to the action plan."

……

"Dacheng, what are we going to eat tonight?"

"I kneaded some dough this morning. I'll steam some buns and fry some eggs when I get home..."

After get off work in the afternoon, as the car drove out of the office gate and turned onto the main road, Li Yancheng was talking about dinner with his wife who was sitting in the passenger seat, while he habitually looked at the rearview mirror and then at the rear-view mirrors on both sides of the car.

The figure of a person riding a bicycle that appeared in the rearview mirror on the passenger side made him pause in his speech and narrow his eyes.

"What's wrong, Dacheng?"

Luo Min, who was stroking her belly with her head down, noticed that her husband suddenly stopped talking, and looked over at her with some curiosity.

"Xiao Min, don't say anything yet. Sit down for a moment."

"Oh"

Luo Min shrank down very obediently.

The car was not driving fast, but it was already a little after six o'clock and the sky in Beijing had darkened. Although Li Yancheng did not see the figure that appeared in the rearview mirror very clearly, he saw the figure clearly.

If he remembered correctly, this figure had appeared in his sight no less than five times in the past few days, and all of them were when he was off work.

Normally, with so many people coming and going on this road every day, it is normal to run into a familiar face one after another. After all, everyone’s working hours are the same, from 8 am to 6 pm.

But Li Yancheng just felt that something was wrong.

He plans to give it a try today.

squeak……

After turning onto another road, he parked the car on the side of the road.

Luo Min had been crouching in silence for a long time. When she saw her husband stop the car, she asked softly, "Dacheng, what happened?"

"I saw a figure when I came out of the office just now. I felt something was wrong. Maybe I was too suspicious."

As Li Yancheng spoke, he looked down at the watch on his wrist. It was now 18:20 p.m. Beijing time.

After checking the time, he stretched out his right hand and patted his wife's legs twice, as if he wanted to transfer some of his strength to her.

Hearing her man say this, Luo Min said nothing more. She shrank her body as much as possible, then held her husband's big hand with both hands.

The car was parked on the side of the road for only a few dozen seconds before another jeep drove up from behind.

The car drove straight to a car parked on the side of the road and two people got out of the car.

Seeing the car coming from behind, Li Yancheng breathed a sigh of relief. He first stretched out his left hand and patted his wife's hand which was holding his right hand, then pulled his hand out and opened the car door.

When he opened the car door, the two people behind him just happened to walk over.

"Director Li"

"When I came out of the bureau just now, I saw a person in the rearview mirror. I have seen this person no less than five times in the past two or three days. It seems to me that he is not far from our unit, or he is waiting for me on my way to and from get off work."

The person who came was from the Security Department, and was the person arranged by the bureau to protect him after receiving news from the Hong Kong Group.

"How about this, Director Li, you take your wife and drive our car first and take another route, while Xiao Jiang and I drive this car and follow your usual route.

Please describe the figure of that person to me."
