Zuo Zhong squatted on the top of the coal pile and watched the freighter on the opposite side speed up into the Yangtze River. He felt very complicated. The captured underground party was safe, but what should Lao Ban and Meng Ting do.
He could clearly see that the person who was desperately suppressing them behind the wooden box was none other than his old classmate Ban Jun. The opponent used a submachine gun to beat the agents unable to lift their heads. The marksmanship was extremely accurate and ferocious.
On the trestle in the distance, Meng Ting gave up the opportunity to leave and stayed put to stop the agents from chasing over the coal pile. A day ago, who would have believed that this person could do such a thing.
A detective who is greedy for fame.
Xu Enzeng's bitch.
A traitor who colluded with the British.
Lurking intelligence operatives. .
Zuo Zhong smiled, so which one is the real Meng Ting? Maybe this one is the one now. Without unwavering faith and a spirit of disregarding death, the other party will not stay.
The question is what to do next, how to rescue Ban Jun and Meng Ting. There is little hope of persuading them to surrender. These two people will never surrender. Do we have to watch them die in front of our eyes?
One is the big brother with whom he has a deep relationship, and the other is a warrior who goes deep into the enemy's nest. They are both standard patriots, and they should be able to display their respective talents in the national war a few years later.
In the end, Zuo Zhong decided to persuade him to surrender. Many people had just seen Ban Jun. He had cooperated with Ban Jun during the Japanese spy radio case, and his relationship with him was no secret.
If you pretend not to know each other, you will only arouse Dai Chunfeng's suspicion. There is a saying called guilty conscience. It may be inappropriate to use it here, but the principle is the same and you must not be careless.
Moreover, getting to know the underground party is not a big problem in this era, because of the cooperation more than ten years ago, no senior official of the party has many old friends and classmates from the underground party.
Could this be called having access to the underground party? The first person to be arrested is the bald man. The principal has thousands of underground party students. He is simply the number one felon in the underground party.
Zuo Zhong composed himself, put his hands around his mouth and shouted loudly: "Are you Ban Jun? I am Zuo Zhong, Lao Ban, please listen to my brother's advice, stop making unnecessary resistance and surrender."
It's useless for you to delay any longer. The freighter can't leave. Don't be stupid. The navy has already received the news. The warships will soon block the river. Not even a fly can escape.
After staying at the customs for so long, you know the attitude of the party-state towards the underground party. As long as you are willing to raise your hands and surrender, I swear to God, even if I fight against the section chief, I will protect you from death. "
As he spoke, he straightened up and exposed himself to the opponent's shooting range. This frightened Gui Youguang. What would happen if the section chief had something wrong with him? He quickly wanted to stop him.
Zuo Zhong waved his hand. If Ban Jun really fired, he would no longer be Ban Jun. On the surface, they each had their own masters, but their friendship was real. If Ban Jun really fired, he could only say that he had misjudged the person.
As for Meng Ting, he was eager to drag the intelligence unit to the dock, and he didn't know how to shoot. So although it was dangerous to stand in the shooting range, he could show goodwill to the opponent and avoid the worst case scenario.
After driving away the troublesome Gui Youguang, he put the pistol back into its holster and continued to face Ban Jun behind the wooden box: "You and I, brothers, met at the police academy and have been together day and night for two full years.
Thanks to your care, Laoban, I was able to successfully graduate and enter the Secret Service. Let’s say it from the bottom of our hearts. Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I don’t want to see you go to a dead end.
My teacher, Director Dai, you also know that loyalty is the most important thing in a person. As long as you can abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side in time, I will use my wealth to guarantee that I will beg the teacher to spare your life and forget about the past. "
"Shen Zhong, there is no need to guarantee. I can promise you now. If Mr. Ban is willing to cooperate, today's matter will end here. No one will ever harass you in the future, I said so."
Suddenly, Dai Chunfeng emerged from nowhere and straightened up to face the Ban Army's gun. Not to mention anything else, his courage and courage alone were enough to defeat Xu Enzeng eight blocks away.
Lao Dai looked at Zuo Zhong with satisfaction. He had seen and heard everything that had happened before. Facts have proved that he, a student, is still loyal to the party and the country, and there is no problem with his stance.
In the previous battle on the riverside, under the personal command of the other party, the first and second departments had killed several underground party rescuers. They only knew a certain underground party personally.
If anyone dares to talk nonsense, then run around under the light machine gun of the underground party first. Is there anyone who colludes with the underground party like this? What is it for? Are you trying to be killed by a machine gun? Shen Zhong, it can be of great use in the future.
"Teacher, why are you here? The one below is Ban Jun. He has close contact with the students. He also helped us catch Japanese spies before, but unfortunately he turned over the gangster by mistake." Zuo Zhong said with a guilty look on his face.
Dai Chunfeng stood at the highest point of the coal pile, letting the wind and snow blow by, and wiped his hair: "Shen Zhong, there is no need to worry about it. This matter has nothing to do with you. Besides, since this is an anti-Japanese hero, he must be treated preferentially."
He turned his head and said loudly: "Mr. Ban, did you hear it? My students have vouched for you with their lives and possessions, so why don't you say something? Could it be that the underground party is all hard-hearted?"
These words spread in all directions along the wind and snow, and Ban Jun could naturally hear them. When he heard Dai Chunfeng say that the underground party was hard-hearted, he sneered and stood up with all his strength.
Zuo Zhong's eyes lit up in the distance. He just wanted to stand up on his own. This meant that although the injury was serious, it was not life-threatening. As long as he received timely treatment, Ban Jun would be able to recover quickly.
He took two gentle steps forward and said in a sincere tone: "Old Ban, everything I tell you is true. There are so many people here today. If I lie to you, I will be beaten to death. "
Ban Jun looked at him, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What a twist of fate, I advised you not to join the Secret Service, but you went anyway, and even did very well, catching many Japanese spies.
I hope you can do more things that are beneficial to the country and the nation in the future, and don't be greedy for glory and wealth and become a lackey of the reactionaries, and don't do things that harm the country and the people. This is not a waste of our acquaintance. "
He was filled with emotion, and at the same time he regretted not developing Zuo Zhong. If the head of the Intelligence Section of the Secret Service was one of his own, then the Fruit Party would have no secrets from them, which would be enough to change the situation between the enemy and ourselves.
Zuo Zhong recalled the past and also shook his head and said: "Old Ban, you know that I am a realist and I don't believe in the things of the underground party. Besides, the facts are in front of us.
Now that the Generalissimo's troops are approaching, the war in the southwest will end soon. When the country stabilizes, how will you people deal with yourself? You can't hide in the ravines forever to rebel.
Surrender, then we will still be best friends. If you are dissatisfied with your customs work and feel that you earn less, I will help you find a way to ensure that you can earn more money than you can spend in your lifetime. "
As he spoke, he observed Dai Chunfeng's reaction with his peripheral vision. The other party seemed to be very satisfied with the persuasion. Especially when he mentioned the words "realist", Lao Dai smiled even more.
Don't talk about doctrines with the old fox. These people only believe in interests and transactions. What can be held in their hands is real, and what can be deposited in the bank is real. Doctrine is just a tool.
Dai Chunfeng believed it, but Ban Jun was heartbroken after hearing Zuo Zhong's words. Why did a good young man become so philistine and realistic only two years after joining the secret service?
He was angry and said: "Zuo Zhong, your Zuo family is a wealthy family in Ningbo. Their wealth is more than ten thousand yuan, their fields are more than a thousand ridges, and I'm afraid you can't even remember how many shops there are. Are you so short of money?"
Young people should be like the rising sun, high-spirited and hard-working. They should not care about trivial matters all day long. How are they different from old people if they are so sluggish? "
Zuo Zhong knew that Lao Ban was doing it for his own good. In this era of turmoil, if you want to do something big, you must have big ambitions. If you don't have high aspirations, how can you show your ambitions?
But on the surface, he seemed to have been stabbed in a sore spot, and said angrily: "The matter of Gougou Flying Camp, when your family was in trouble, who gave you a hundred dollars, why didn't you talk about Gougou Flying Camp at that time.
If this matter were put in the storybook, I don’t know how many people would laugh at me, Zuo Zhong, for not understanding how many oceans one hundred US dollars can exchange. I don’t know, I know, Ban, you actually said this to me. "
"you!"
Ban Jun's eyes were full of desolation, he pointed at Zuo Zhong and angrily shouted: "Okay, okay, we have different ways and we can't agree with each other. Today you and I will cut off our robes and sever our ties. If you want me to surrender, don't waste your efforts in vain."
After saying that, he took out a dagger and cut off the front hem of his coat and sat back down on the ground. He let out a long sigh and said to himself, this is the only thing I can help you with. I hope Guo Dang won't take his anger out on you.
Zuo Zhong's nose on the opposite side was so angry that he turned around and shouted at his men: "Dagger, where's the dagger? I'll cut you off with this white-eyed wolf. It's useless for Zuo to regard you as his best friend."
A little secret agent handed out the dagger fearfully. Zuo Zhong took it and tore it off, cutting off a large piece of the tunic suit. He almost fell off the coal pile due to the excessive force.
After stopping the help of many of his subordinates, he awkwardly climbed up from the ground with his hands on the ground. He looked at Teacher Cheap with embarrassment and asked, "Teacher, do you want to give me some more advice?"
Dai Chunfeng looked at him with a half-smile but said to himself that Shen Zhong had always been serious and serious and didn't want to suffer in the underground party. Yes, it was a good thing to let him know that some people's hearts are sinister.
After thinking about it, he prepared to take a few steps closer to meet the squadron in person, but after taking two steps, he heard a click under his feet. Lao Dai thought he had stepped on something, and subconsciously wanted to lift his feet.
"do not move!!"
"Teacher, mine!!"
But Zuo Zhong acted like crazy, shouted twice at the top of his throat, rushed to Dai Chunfeng's feet, firmly pressed the foot that was on the ground, and his face instantly turned extremely pale.
Mines?
Where did the landmines come from?
Dai Chunfeng was startled by him, and his expression was a little helpless. This was not a battlefield, so how could there be landmines? So he looked at his feet casually, and then his head buzzed.
There are really landmines.
A black round object was mixed with coal, lying quietly under his 45-yard feet. Zuo Zhong was pressing the opponent to prevent it from moving. It was really going to end now.
After all, he had received formal military education, and of course he knew about landmines, but how could such a thing appear at the scene of arresting the underground party? Why was he the unlucky one?
Don't think Dai Chunfeng is timid, the agents present were so frightened that they all backed away, even the bald man. This thing was really too powerful, and if he wasn't careful, his body would be wiped out.
This was bad news for the agents, but it was different for the underground party. After hearing Zuo Zhong's hoarse shouting, Ban Jun keenly sensed an opportunity that could be exploited and shot decisively.
"Da da da."
"No one is allowed to move. If you want Director Dai's life, all of you squat down with your head in your hands. If anyone except Zuo Zhong dares to get close to the mine, I will shoot immediately. Don't doubt my marksmanship."
The squad army put Thomson on a wooden box and hit Dai Chunfeng with a short burst of fire, and announced the new rules of the game. Lao Dai's face was covered with black dust, and he was so angry that he almost flew into a rage.
This is not an adjective. If he jumps up, the mine will really explode. The agents looked at each other and had no choice but to squat down with their heads in hand under Dai Chunfeng's murderous eyes. The scene was spectacular.
"call."
Ban Jun kept his sights firmly on the target and thought desperately about how to escape. The best way was to find an important secret service cadre to hold hostage, leave the dock, and then find a way to escape from Jinling City.
"Boatman, it's me."
Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice, and immediately realized that the actor had not left. Then a warmth arose in his heart, knowing that the other party was worried about him, so he took the risk to stay.
Ban Jun did not look back and continued to aim, and said with a smile: "Actor, it seems that our competition is not over yet. How about we compete to see who has more results when we evacuate?"
"No, look over there."
Meng Ting walked up to him with a gun, and while taking over the task of monitoring Dai Chunfeng and the agents, he pointed in the direction of the river, his tone was very complicated, a little proud and a little happy.
Ban Jun turned his head and was surprised to find that the freighter had come back without knowing when. The side of the ship was filled with underground party members holding weapons, including Lao Liu, Min, guards, and newly rescued prisoners.
"go home."
"Yes, go home."
With tears in his eyes, he told Meng Ting to go home, and Meng Ting said back to him with a smile. Under the cover of the people on the ship, the two quickly climbed up the gangway and boarded the ship smoothly.
"Woo~"
The freighter whistled again, but this time there was only the joy of victory. Under the control of the smiling helmsman, it turned the ship's bow and continued to sail toward the upper reaches of the Yangtze River with all hope.
On top of the coal pile, Zuo Zhong felt the mine safety bolts and the piece of Chinese tunic fabric placed in the space. He recalled the night they parted at the police academy, as if everything was still yesterday.
He lowered his head slowly, his eyes slowly becoming moist, saying goodbye to Laoban. Even if the road ahead is forever dark, please move forward fearlessly. I hope that on the day of victory, you and I can still have a good time over wine.
The brothers will be here after all the tribulations are over,
When we meet, we smile and let go of grudges.
