Chapter 210: Call from the Troops
Liu Jingxue walked out of the office. Secretary Yan and the team leader, who were talking outside, saw her and came over.
"Xiaoxue, are you done with your call?" asked the captain.
“It’s over.
Captain, have you finished your work?"
“It’s done. I came here to talk to Secretary Yan about something, and it’s just been done.
Xiaoxue, let’s go back now.”
Liu Jingxue shook her head and said, "Captain, please go back first.
I can’t leave now, I have to wait for a call.”
The captain asked curiously, "Didn't you just say that you had finished the call? Why are you still waiting for the call?"
"I just talked to Grandpa Zhang about something. He went to find someone to help me deal with it and asked me to wait here for follow-up news." Liu Jingxue replied.
The captain said, "Then I'll wait for you, otherwise you'll have to walk back later."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jingxue quickly persuaded him, "Captain, you don't have to wait for me. I'm afraid I can't go back for a while.
After you receive a call from there, you may have to wait for someone.
You'd better go back first.
What if the Revolutionary Committee sends people to our production team again? "
When the captain heard Liu Jingxue mention the Revolutionary Committee, he knew her worries and did not insist on waiting for her. He said, "In that case, I will go back first.
Don't delay here, and return to the production team as soon as you finish your work."
Liu Jingxue quickly nodded in agreement.
The team leader said something to Secretary Yan, then went to the guard to get his car and returned to the production team.
After the captain left, Secretary Yan said to Liu Jingxue, "Liu Zhiqing, why don't you go to my office and wait for a call."
Liu Jingxue shook her head, "Secretary Yan, they won't call us so soon.
I won't go in and disturb you at work. I'll just wait in the reception room next door.
If there is a phone call for me, just call me."
Secretary Yan also knew that if Liu Zhiqing stayed in the same room with him, she would probably feel uncomfortable, so he did not force her.
"Okay, then you go wait over there first. If there's a call for you, I'll ask you to come over and answer it."
After Mr. Zhang hung up the phone with Liu Jingxue, he immediately made a call, "Please connect me to the commander of the Shenyang Military Region."
"Yes, sir," the operator replied.
After a while, the call was connected and a voice came from the other end of the line, "Hello, this is Li Dequan, who is this?"
Zhang Lao came back and said, "Hello, Commander Li, I am Zhang Lingfeng."
“It turned out to be Commander Zhang from the Jinan Military Region.
You are such a busy man, why did you think of looking for me today?
Could it be that they are unwilling to accept the defeat to our military region last time and want to compete with our military region again, but the timing is not right." Commander Li joked.
Old Zhang shook his head helplessly. This old guy only won once, but he always made fun of him every time.
Don’t you think about how many times their Jinan Military Region has defeated them.
"Okay, stop joking. I have something serious to discuss with you."
"We are talking about serious matters now," said Commander Li.
Mr. Zhang was too lazy to talk to him, "One of my granddaughters is working in the countryside in your Liao Province.
She discovered that there was a Japanese spy among the educated youth in the same production team.
He was holding a map and searching all over the mountains.
That man has been in the countryside for two years, and has been searching in the mountains for two years. "
When Commander Li heard this, he finally became serious and said, "It's definitely the Japanese."
"One hundred percent sure," Mr. Zhang promised.
Next, he repeated everything Liu Jingxue had said.
“It looks like it’s the Japs without a doubt.
Your granddaughter is really good. The man had been in the countryside for two years without being discovered, but she discovered that there was something wrong with him not long after she went there.
Fortunately, she is skilled and courageous, otherwise the man would have been hidden so deeply that we would not have found him." Commander Li praised Liu Jingxue.
Commander Zhang liked to hear this: "My granddaughter can't be any worse."
"I just praised your granddaughter a few times, and you're still being arrogant.
By the way, where is your granddaughter in the countryside? If time is not tight, I can arrange for the nearest unit to take over the investigation." Commander Li asked.
"Red Star Production Brigade, Qianjin Commune, Linshan Town, Ping'an County, Xishi City, Liao Province."
Hearing the name, Commander Li frowned, "It must be Linshan Town."
"Yeah, is there any problem?" Mr. Zhang asked doubtfully.
"Lao Zhang, you know I have been in the Northeast and am very familiar with the things here.
There are many mountains on the other side of Linshan Town, which are continuous and lead to the border.
The Japanese had built some secret laboratory in the mountains back then, but we never found it.
The Northeast was occupied by the Japanese for many years, and they looted a lot of things. Some of them were shipped back to the country, and some were not.
When the Japs surrendered, we didn't give them a chance to transport our stuff, but it just disappeared.
We suspect they are hiding somewhere, most likely in the mountains." Commander Li said solemnly.
When Mr. Zhang heard this, he immediately became serious and said, "Then you should send someone over quickly. Maybe the map in that person's hand is the clue.
My granddaughter said that the man had been drugged for some time and was worried that he would become suspicious.
“Don’t worry, I will find the nearest military unit and ask them to send someone to take over.
But you have to tell me your granddaughter's contact information, and I will ask them to contact her as soon as possible." Commander Li said.
Mr. Zhang readily agreed, “That’s no problem.
I also know the rules of our army, which is to investigate whether the informant is credible.
You can skip this and avoid wasting time.
She is absolutely trustworthy, I can vouch for that.
She is the orphan of my old subordinate. Three generations of her family have been in our army, and she is the only one who is not in the army in three generations."
"Okay, with your guarantee, there's nothing to investigate."
General Zhang told Commander Li the phone number of Secretary Yan’s office.
"This is the phone number of the secretary's office of the commune where she went to work. I asked her to wait there.
The people you assign need to be faster, have real skills and be good at their craft.
My granddaughter said that the man had a gun, was quite skilled, and had accomplices. "
"OK, no problem."
At 11:10, the phone in Secretary Yan's office rang.
Secretary Yan picked up the phone, "Hello, this is Qianjin Commune, I'm Yan Xuewen."
"Hello, comrade. This is the headquarters of the XX Army. I'm looking for Comrade Liu Jingxue."
When Secretary Yan heard that the call was from the army, he immediately said, "Hello, military comrade, Liu Zhiqing is next door.
Please wait a moment, I will go find her right away."
"It's troublesome."
Secretary Yan quickly put down the phone and found Liu Jingxue, "Liu Zhiqing, someone from the army called you."
Liu Jingxue breathed a sigh of relief, finally here she is.
She went to Secretary Yan's office and answered the phone.
Secretary Yan closed the door and stood outside to prevent anyone from approaching.
Although I don’t know what happened, I think it must be a big deal, otherwise why would someone in the army call Liu Zhiqing.
Although Liu Zhiqing had relatives in the army, when it came to private matters, he would generally act in his private capacity rather than in the name of the army.
"Hello, comrade. I am Liu Jingxue."
"Hello Comrade Liu, we are aware of what you reported.
We'll send someone to look for you right now.
But it will take about four hours for our people to reach your place. Can you stay where you are and wait for our people?"
Liu Jingxue immediately replied, "No problem, I will wait for your people to come over at the Qianjin Commune Government in Linshan Town."
"Okay, please."
"This is what I should do."
Hang up the phone and walk out of the office.
"Liu Zhiqing, did something happen?" Secretary Yan asked nervously.
He is the secretary of the commune, and he will bear certain responsibilities if anything happens within his jurisdiction.
Liu Jingxue apologized, "Secretary Yan, due to confidentiality reasons, I cannot tell you.
But don't worry, this has nothing to do with you and will not implicate you.
It's just that in four hours, some troops will come to find me, and I still have to wait here.
And you have to make arrangements so that others don’t leak the news.”
“Don’t worry, I understand.
It's almost time for lunch, so you can have lunch here, I'll make the arrangements." Secretary Yan said.
Although there is a lot of food in my space, it is not convenient to take it out.
Liu Jingxue thanked him and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Secretary Yan."
