Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 615 Feeling
As Lao Liu rode towards the Second Textile Factory, his heart turned ice-cold.

exposed!
The sixth brother, who could lie low for ten years and successfully complete several missions, was no ordinary person.

When he first arrived, he didn't notice that there were people from the Social Affairs Bureau lying in ambush around the alley entrance. They were probably from the Social Affairs Bureau, but that was just his guess.

He realized someone was watching him after Li Yancheng's car left, and he was about to leave as well. Just then, the cotton curtain of a grocery store diagonally across the street, next to the east entrance of Meishan East Alley, was lifted, and a person walked out.

The person who came out was fine, but a young man standing inside the store aroused Lao Liu's suspicion.

Having received special training, Lao Liu clearly remembered seeing this young man around 7:00 a.m. Now, more than an hour later, seeing him again left a deep impression on him.

Moreover, when the cotton curtain was lifted just now, he clearly saw that the young man inside wasn't buying anything. Instead, he was standing outside the counter, leaning against it, looking out.

To be more precise, the young man's gaze was fixed on him.

While it's not impossible to see someone in the same place more than once, he, being cautious and suspicious by nature, didn't believe it could be a coincidence.

It was precisely because of this personality trait that he was able to complete his missions while protecting himself throughout these ten years.

To test whether he had made a mistake, Lao Liu stopped when he saw a department store on the side of the road. After locking his bicycle, he went into the store and bought a pack of cigarettes. After coming out of the store, he seemingly casually turned his head and glanced around, then lit a cigarette for himself before unlocking his bicycle and continuing to pedal toward the Second Textile Factory.

He was now certain that he was being watched, and if nothing unexpected happened, the person watching him was probably from the Social Affairs Bureau.

But why is this happening?

They only received their orders yesterday and learned who their target was. Why did the Social Affairs Bureau immediately set their sights on them?
There's only one explanation: the social affairs bureau also received the news and made preparations in advance.

Thinking of this, Lao Liu broke out in a cold sweat. In other words, their scouting trip yesterday had already caught someone's attention, and now they were being watched just to confirm the number of people on their side.

Over the years, he has had many unseen clashes with people from the Social Affairs Bureau, so he has a good understanding of their work habits.

How to do?
His current concern is no longer how to complete the mission, but how to get away safely.

As for missions, don't be ridiculous. No mission is more important than your life.

The purpose of completing the mission is to earn money. If you lose your life, what's the point of having money? Besides, money earned in the mortal world can't be used in the underworld.

And so, with a heavy heart, he arrived at the Second Textile Factory.

The social affairs officers who were tracking him saw him enter the factory and then found a phone nearby to contact the command center.

"Section Chief, according to the plan, the target should know he's being watched by now. He's made three attempts to counter-track us along the way. Xiao Zhang and I pretended we knew nothing and just followed him at a distance. He's already returned to the Second Textile Factory."

"Okay, you and Xiao Zhang will stay at the entrance of the No. 2 Textile Factory. Your task today is to keep an eye on them. They don't care about anything inside the factory, but as soon as they come out, you two must keep a close eye on them."

"Yes"

Using Li Yancheng to lure the person out is possible, but that's all. Neither the higher-ups nor the Social Affairs Bureau would allow him to take any greater risks.

Therefore, the Social Affairs Bureau devised this plan to alert the enemy.

The point was to let the two people who carried out the assassination plan know that their every move had been noticed by the Social Affairs Bureau.

In this way, those two people would definitely not dare to make any rash moves if they didn't want to die.

The Social Affairs Bureau had another purpose in doing this: they believed that the organization that wanted to assassinate Li Yancheng must have sent more than just these two people.

These two people are probably just the visible ones; there are others carrying out a covert plan.

Although they haven't found that hidden contact yet, or even know if it exists, their intuition tells the Social Affairs Bureau that things are definitely not that simple.

Things are definitely not that simple.

Lao Liu, who had just entered the Second Textile Factory, also figured out the key point.

We're just here to attract the attention of the social affairs bureau!

After figuring all this out, Lao Liu felt a chill run through him, as if the coldness was freezing his blood.

He finally understood where the strange feeling that had been lingering in his heart since he received this mission came from.

After receiving the mission and completing the on-site investigation yesterday, he felt something was amiss. The mission was too simple; so simple that anyone, even a teenager, could complete it if they could make a timed explosive device. Why would they need to send two people to do it?

Now he understands that these are all traps, but although he had some doubts yesterday, he didn't continue to think about them. By the time he looked back, it was too late.

call……

Old Liu let out a long sigh of relief and found the scarred man replacing parts in the workshop.

"Are you sure? Is the target's car that Hongqi sedan?"

"Never mind that for now. What I want to say is that we've been exposed."

"What?" the scarred man exclaimed upon hearing Lao Liu's words.

He immediately realized that his voice was a bit loud, so he quickly turned around and looked around. Fortunately, no one was paying attention to them. So, he lowered his voice and asked, "Sixth Brother, what do you mean by that?"

"It means exactly what it says: we've been exposed, or to be more precise, someone wants us to be exposed."

The scarred man stared in shock at the sixth man standing opposite him.

He understood what he meant, and his lips moved, but he didn't say a word.

At this moment, Lao Liu patted him on the shoulder twice: "I know you find this answer hard to accept, but that's the truth. Think about it yourself, is this mission really that difficult?"

is it hard?

The scarred man shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "No, it's not difficult at all, Sixth Brother. You don't need to say anything. I understand what you mean. It's just... it's just a little hard to accept."

You know I'm not the sharpest head, and I'm really confused right now. Just tell me what we should do next, and I'll listen to you.

The scarred man raised his hand and casually ruffled his hair a couple of times, looking somewhat annoyed.

"Did you bring those forged official seals and fake ID that I told you to always carry with you?"

“I brought them all.” The scarred man nodded. “You mean we’re just going to run away like this?”

"Of course we can't run now. We need to finish our work here. If we run like this, the people following me will find out what's going on right away, and then neither of us will be able to leave."

“But…” the scarred man said hesitantly, “What about his wife and children?” “There’s no way.” A look of struggle flashed across Lao Liu’s face, but he quickly shook his head firmly.

"We must leave first. As for them... well, we can only see them again if we save our own lives. Otherwise, there will be no future."

The scarred man wasn't unaware of this principle; his reason told him he had to do it, but emotionally he couldn't bear to part with his wife and children.

After hesitating for a while, he finally sighed dejectedly, "Alright, I'll go with you."

"Let's calm ourselves down and go in together to finish the rest of the work quickly, so that no one else notices anything amiss."

huh... huh...

The scarred man took a few deep breaths, and his previously unsightly complexion gradually returned to normal.

"It's okay, I'll get back to normal."

"Okay, let's go, speed things up."

"it is good"

……

Lao Liu was right, and the people from the Social Affairs Bureau were right too.

They were indeed baited, just waiting for the Social Affairs Bureau to take the bait; the real executor of this operation was someone else.

Just now, after Lao Liu left the east entrance of Meishan East Alley across the street, two people from the Social Affairs Bureau followed him on bicycles. Not far away, behind a window on the third floor facing the street, a person was standing quietly watching outside. Only after the two people who followed him disappeared from sight did this person give a cold laugh, turn around and walk back to the sofa inside the house to sit down.

Get rid of Li Yancheng?
No, the people in this organization never intended to get rid of him; they wanted to use him for their own purposes.

How could someone who can make everyone have no secrets in front of him possibly settle things with a single act of murder?

Moreover, if you really want to kill someone, why go through all that trouble? Just find a place far away to hide, aim a gun, pull the trigger, and you're done.

What? You can't escape?
Those who carried out the mission were suicide squads; they never even considered running away.

After observing everything from the second floor, the person sat back down on the sofa and began to carefully consider his plan of action.

He wasn't sure if he could actually get Li Yancheng to work for them, but he had to give it a try.

After pondering for a while, he leaned over and picked up a few photos on the coffee table, looking at them one by one. The people in the photos were none other than Luo Min, Huan Sheng, and Xiao Yu.

Judging from the angle from which the photos were taken, they were taken secretly. Some are of a single person, while others are group photos. Xing Lihua is also in one of the photos.

After looking at the photo carefully for a while, the man sighed and put it back on the coffee table.

The above means that you can use coercion and enticement. Enticement is simple: make a promise. Coercion means using your wife and the two children.

But he didn't want to do that.

He knew very well that once he resorted to coercion, neither side would have a way out; it would be a matter of life or death.

Even if that person has to obey their orders for the time being in order to protect the lives of his wife and children, would they really dare to use such a person?
They wanted Li Yancheng to work for them because they valued his interrogation skills. Since they needed to use interrogation skills, it meant they would have to expose him to a lot of secrets.

But if Li Yancheng was coerced into going there, would they dare to let him access so many secrets? The answer is obvious.

Therefore, he did not want to resort to coercion unless absolutely necessary.

So what should we do?

After mentally discarding the previous plan, he now needs to devise a new plan to win over the target person.

Ta da da...ta da da...

He rested his left index finger on the sofa armrest, tapping the wooden armrest irregularly, and slowly closed his eyes.

……

Let's turn back time a little.

Knowing that Xiao Guan had also noticed that person, Li Yancheng stopped saying anything and sat in the back row to close his eyes and rest.

He had only closed his eyes for a few minutes when he opened them again, and as he did so, his brows furrowed tightly together.

He remembered something: when he came out of the alley, he felt someone staring at him with hostility. So he noticed the man sitting on a bicycle across the street, one leg on the ground, observing him out of the corner of his eye.

Thinking about it now, something seems a bit off. The gaze he felt at the time didn't seem to come from that direction. If he wasn't mistaken, it should have come from the other side.

Someone is watching him!

Is this person in cahoots with the person he noticed, or is this person the hidden informant the Social Affairs Bureau suspects?
Another question is, where was this person observing him at the time?

It's definitely not by the roadside. If this person were by the roadside, they would undoubtedly have been noticed by the social affairs officers who had been lying in wait nearby for several days.

If it's not by the roadside, it's inside a house, specifically the house diagonally opposite.

Across from the east entrance of Meishan East Alley, there are banks, post offices, and restaurants. Today is Sunday, so the first two are closed, and the last one, although open, is also closed as it is not yet time to open.

what else?
There was a hardware store, a grocery store, and a grain and oil store. The others were a bit far away, and the gazes he felt weren't from a distance.

Oh, and you can also see this place from the three-story office building of the Chengdong District Civil Affairs Bureau that faces the street.

Where could this person be?
The Social Affairs Bureau has people stationed at all three stores, so that person probably won't be there. That leaves only the Chengdong District Civil Affairs Bureau.

Today is Sunday, and the Civil Affairs Bureau is closed. Under normal circumstances, apart from the security guard, there shouldn't be anyone else there. Have the Social Affairs Bureau check if there are any other people in that office building today. If there are, and that person can see the entrance to this alley from their location, then it's worth paying attention to.

call……

After letting out a soft breath, Li Yancheng closed his eyes again, carefully recalling the strange feeling he had after walking out of the alley.

After confirming that he hadn't misjudged the situation, his heart gradually returned to normal.

He could use himself as bait to catch fish, but he couldn't stand by and watch his wife and children be in danger.
