As the night grew darker, a car sped past on the highway. It suddenly made a sharp turn off the highway and turned onto a small road. It quickly turned off and hid in the dense woods.
Not long after, several cars with flashing police lights speeded across the intersection and headed forward.
Only then did the car hidden in the woods let out a sigh of relief.
"Hey, we finally got rid of it. Brother Chao, we can't leave the city of Weizhou anymore. If we keep going like this, we will be caught sooner or later. You should hurry up and think of a way!"
Brother Chao was sitting in the back, his face extremely gloomy.
It had only been two days, but he had already been forced into a desperate situation. He was being chased and intercepted everywhere, and road blocks and stations were blocked everywhere.
Unless you have wings, you can't rush out at all.
There were originally four bodyguards, but now only one was left and was a little injured.
The driver was also exhausted.
They dare not stay in a hotel, go to the store to buy things, or even get out of the car casually.
It was so miserable!
Brother Chao gritted his teeth and said, "Let's take turns sleeping and be alert to what's going on outside to see if there's any improvement. Everything depends on our lives!"
When it comes to this, it can only be like this.
Their car has been registered a long time ago and can be found no matter where they go. The most important thing at the moment is to change a car and find a way to leave the city.
Brother Chao replaced the driver and drove the car slowly, passing by all the roads he had just passed, because these roads were relatively safe, and he did not dare to set foot in other places he had never been to easily.
Suddenly, a Mercedes-Benz business car sped past from a distance.
This is a brand new car. There is only a glaring scratch on one side, but this is not a big problem and can be covered up with a little cover-up.
Brother Chao was very satisfied with the car and followed quietly.
The Mercedes-Benz business parked in front of a large hotel. The door opened and a group of old and young people stepped out.
When Zhang Jiaqiang's figure appeared under the car, Brother Chao's eyes lit up instantly.
It was really hard to find anything, and it didn't take any effort to get there. I unexpectedly met this kid on the wrong road.
Brother Chao gently shook the bodyguard and driver awake, and said in a low voice, "Whether we can survive or not depends on this time..."
In the dead of night, the office of the Public Security Corps was still brightly lit.
Captain Xie Xuezhi looked at the map and frowned into the character Sichuan.
Someone knocked on the door, and Xie Xuezhi called in without raising his head.
"Captain, let them run away again. These guys won't run out of the city!"
Xie Xuezhi shook his head, "They came to us from Bozhou, and all the cities along the way provided support. Now our stations, highways, and docks are all like iron links. Unless they turn into flying insects and run away, they must be here." The end!"
"Let everyone have a good rest tonight. We will start checking hotels and vacant houses at the end tomorrow. We will dig up the ground three feet to dig them out!"
...
The next morning, the hotel where Zhang Jiaqiang and the others stayed was already bustling with people even before normal business hours.
Vehicles with license plates from various places were parked in the parking lot in an endless stream.
One by one, old men who were healthy and energetic, or who were gray-haired and stooped, were escorted and helped out of the car to the door of the hotel where a huge banner was hung.
The old chess king and old man Xie are two door gods, standing there to greet the visitors.
But Zhang Jiaqiang was like a little follower, following closely behind them.
Originally, the old chess king and the others had reserved the restaurant and some guest rooms for this gathering.
After asking about the number of people, Zhang Jiaqiang temporarily decided to book the entire hotel for two days, so that everyone would not be disturbed and some elderly people in poor health could have a good rest.
The old chess king and the others originally paid for it at their own expense. Considering everyone's financial situation, they did not dare to overdo it.
Now he directly bears all the expenses, making the activity funds much more relaxed.
The old chess king and the others didn't want to accept it at first, but Zhang Jiaqiang kept asking and they couldn't give in, so they had to accept it happily.
"Old Cui, it's great to see you again!"
"Liu Dapao, you have a pretty good figure!"
"Zhang Mulu, why can't you open your eyes after so many years? Do you plan to lie in the coffin completely in confusion?"
"Lao Wang still has such a bad mouth. If I had known he would come from here, I wouldn't have come here!"
All kinds of southern and northern accents, slang and dialects were mixed together, and the whole hall was as lively as if a national dialect conference had been held.
A group of old people got together and attacked each other, but their eyes shone with joy and excitement.
Many of them had not seen each other for many years, but when they met, some actually hugged each other and started crying, almost like children.
In an instant, laughter, curses, and cries mixed into a deep and cheerful piece of music, which made people sigh with emotion!
Zhang Jiaqiang was busy letting guests into the hotel and arranging an agreed number of waiters to come forward and distribute room cards.
The elderly and accompanying family members went to their rooms to settle down first, and then took a short rest before attending the noon welcome banquet.
Some people were so excited that they forgot their fatigue and stood in the lobby to express their feelings of farewell.
"Old Wang, that is your son, isn't it right? You have such a young son?"
A vigorous old man pointed at Zhang Jiaqiang in the distance and asked.
Another person curled his lips and smiled, "Don't talk nonsense, he is so bear-like, how can he have such a spirited son?"
The old chess king rolled his eyes, "My son is already over forty. This is his good friend, my eldest nephew. Hey, why are you talking? Why can't I give birth to a good-looking son? You don't even have a son." Don’t be greedy anymore!”
An old man with a rosy complexion but who still seemed to be awake snorted coldly.
"What are you showing off for? I don't have any children, why can't I still live a good life?"
The old chess king sneered, "Zhang Mulu, don't say sarcastic words. You can still move now. When the day comes when you can't move anymore, you will be the one to look good!"
Zhang's confused face showed an angry look, and his eyes, which had never woken up, opened slightly, revealing a breathtaking cold light. He soon returned to normal, snorted coldly, and turned away.
Old man Xie came over and punched the old chess king, "It's a bit of a joke to be joking. What's the point of exposing someone's shortcomings? You think you've offended someone!"
The old chess king was very embarrassed, "I said it just so I said it, and I didn't mean to expose him. At worst, I'll apologize to him while I'm drinking!"
"Hey, Jiaqiang, have everything been arranged?" The old chess king called Zhang Jiaqiang and asked.
Zhang Jiaqiang held a list in his hand and said, "There are one hundred and three people in total. They are all arranged. The waiter will inform you about the meal time later. You two will also go and take a rest?"
The old chess king shook his head and said, "I saw them. I can't sleep. Come and walk around the rooms with us!"
Zhang Jiaqiang had no choice but to follow the two old men and check through more than a hundred guest rooms.
In addition to reminiscing about old times, they also introduced Zhang Jiaqiang to everyone.
It's just that the old people just greeted him politely, obviously not accepting this outsider.
Zhang Jiaqiang knows that this is human nature. If you want others to recognize you, you must do something convincing.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it’s time for the feast.
Doors opened one after another, and old people put on shabby olive green clothes and walked into the restaurant with solemn expressions.
At this moment, a utility room door quietly opened, and Brother Chao revealed his head.
Looking at these old people, his eyes narrowed tightly, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
