At the opening ceremony on October 1, Dr. Meng Wen needs to show his face once, but he does not need to do anything. He only needs to appear at the venue.
The opening speech is the job of the head of state. The head of state will make a brief speech, and then the rest of the work is all the work of the host. The host needs to introduce the participants one by one and introduce all the political dignitaries from all over the world.
The conference will be held for five days in total. According to the plan, it will be Dr. Meng Wen's turn to speak on the second day. He will give a technical sharing about this global event, and then everyone will conduct some discussions based on the content of his speech.
Starting from the third day, the discussion about alliance lasted for two days.
Then on the fifth day, it will be reporter’s question time. Dr. Meng Wen will come to the venue again to answer some reporters’ questions on the spot.
As a personal guard, Meng Qingxiao was not very interested in the content of the meeting. In addition to protecting the safety of Dr. Meng Wen, he and Zhang Chao were all focused on three meals a day, because they discovered that, As a five-star hotel, their food is really good, even better than the food at Qiongyuan Garden. At least in terms of the freshness of the ingredients, it is far superior to Qiongyuan Garden.
The security of the central building was very good, and there had been no accidents. Therefore, Meng Qingxiao felt a little relaxed. Even Zhang Chao, who had always been strict with himself, thought that it was unlikely that there would be any problems in these five days.
Time flies, and finally on the fifth day, their good days are coming to an end. The young man and the young man in room 66 are hiding in the room to study what to eat for lunch. The time for answering reporters' questions in the afternoon is two o'clock, and now it is only It’s half past eleven, and there’s still plenty of time.
They all came to Linhai. They always felt that they wanted to taste the local specialties. Then Meng Qingxiao called the beautiful waiter who had been serving them from the first day and asked her about Linhai. Speciality cuisine.
The waiter smiled and said: "Linhai was originally a small fishing village in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The most unique delicacy is hairy crabs. But now is not the season for eating hairy crabs. In winter, I recommend Su-style delicacies. Linhai has inherited part of Su-style delicacies. The dishes, however, after so many years of development and inheritance, have some changes from the orthodox Soviet-style cuisine. If you three want to taste local specialties, I recommend you to try various types of dry pot."
"Griddle, what do you have?"
"There are many, such as dry pot cabbage, dry pot pork ribs, dry pot chicken, dry pot shrimp, etc."
"Okay, let's try the dry pot here."
"I want to eat dry pot shrimps."
"I eat dry-pot fish, what kind of fish do you have here..."
After lunch every day, it is time for Meng Qingxiao and Xu Peiyuan to have a video call, which has lasted for four days. Because they are not allowed to bring mobile phones during training, Zhao Shuang has to go to the training ground of the joint team every day.
The phone rang early today. Their griddle pot had just been lit, and the two waiters hadn't finished their work yet.
Zhao Shuang's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Boss, can we advance today's video conversation? I just received a call. My mother is sick and hospitalized. I want to go to the hospital in the afternoon."
"Then today's video call is cancelled. You go to the hospital quickly."
"No, no, I'm already on my way to the training ground. It won't take long for you to talk on the phone."
"Okay." Meng Qingxiao could only agree.
Zhao Shuang quickly came to the training ground and asked for a video call, and Meng Qingxiao agreed.
It was still Xu Peiyuan who first reported his work to Meng Qingxiao. Then he saw the table of dishes in the hotel and couldn't help being surprised and said: "Captain, your food looks very good."
"Haha, it's really good. Camp Commander Zhang and I have both gained weight in the past few days."
At this time, the camera scanned the male waiter. Xu Peiyuan saw it and thought it was the chef. He said in surprise: "That chef seems to be a visitor from another world. My dear, are you eating delicacies from other worlds?" ?”
Meng Qingxiao's heart suddenly became tense and he asked hurriedly: "How do you know he came to another world?"
At this moment, the solid alcohol under the hot pot in the middle of the dining table suddenly burned violently, as if a spoonful of hot oil had been poured on the gas stove, and the flames shot up to a height of more than one meter.
Zhang Chao retreated hurriedly, but it was still too late. Before the flame was extinguished, another crackling sound was heard. The solid alcohol actually exploded and caused more flames again.
Meng Qingxiao couldn't care less about chatting on video. He threw away the phone in his hand, ran over in a sprint, grabbed the male waiter, and then threw him to the ground with an over his shoulder.
The male waiter showed no fear on his face. He looked at Meng Qingxiao and smiled instead.
Meng Qingxiao frowned, and when he was about to question him, his head felt dizzy.
At this moment, Dr. Meng Wen said: "My head suddenly felt dizzy. This solid fuel is poisonous." After saying this, he fell down.
Immediately afterwards, the waitress also fell to the ground.
Meng Qingxiao raised his hand and struck out with a palm, wanting to knock the waiter unconscious first, but as soon as he raised his hand, he fell to the ground.
Zhang Chao persisted for the longest time, but could not escape. When the male waiter from another world finally stood up, Zhang Chao shook his body and fell to the ground.
When Meng Qingxiao and Zhang Chao woke up, it was already two hours later. They were lying in a hospital near the Central Building, and Dr. Meng Wen was missing.
A strange officer came to question the two of them. He saw that the cap badge belonged to the Southern Legion and that Linhai was indeed a southern city. The two of them cooperated very well and told them everything they knew.
The officer also told them about some situations after they fell into coma. A video call from Meng Qingxiao saved both of their lives. Originally, they should have been discovered before 14:00, but because of Xu Peiyuan’s relationship, the kidnappers The action had to be advanced, so there was no time to kill the two of them.
Meng Qingxiao asked: "Where is my dad? Is there any news about him?"
"No, the enemy had a careful plan this time. They loaded your father into the dining car, then swaggered down from the employee elevator, and then transported him out of the building via the food delivery van. The whole process only took less than 5 minutes. time. Except for a video call from you that slightly disrupted their rhythm, everything else was perfect, but I can be sure that they are still in Linhai City."
Zhang Chao frowned and said, "Why are you so sure?"
The officer said, "Within 20 minutes after your accident, we had received the notice and set up a dragnet. In such a short period of time, there was no means of transportation out of Linhai City."
Zhang Chao did not refute, but he still didn't believe that since the enemy's plan was so thorough, how could they not think of the possibility that they would be intercepted? They would definitely use some kind of mysterious transportation channel that he could not imagine yet to quietly transport the doctor away.
The officer told the two to get some rest and then left.
Meng Qingxiao frowned and said, "Didn't the patrol post outside check the dining car?"
Zhang Chao snorted and said: "Hiding the truth is a secret."
Meng Qingxiao stopped talking. He understood clearly, the first of the thirty-six strategies, "If you prepare for weeks, you will be careless, if you are familiar with it, you will not doubt it." The wisdom of the Chinese ancestors has now been played to perfection by their enemies. The two of them are not like this. If they pay a little more attention and carefully check the solid fuel, they may not find abnormalities.
What they contain is not poison, but a hypnotic drug whose scientific name is hydroxipam.
This is a powerful anesthetic and sleep aid. The half-life of the drug can be as long as 100 hours. Under normal circumstances, the three of them need to lie down for three days before they can wake up. Meng Qingxiao and Zhang Chao were woken up early by the doctor. Although their consciousness was awake, their bodies had no strength at all. Even if they were anxious to return to the team, they couldn't do it now and could only lie down in the hospital with peace of mind.
Although Dr. Meng Wen has disappeared, the "Four-Party Meeting" has not ended yet, and the official of the Qianghan Kingdom has not announced the news of the doctor's disappearance. As for why the doctor did not participate in the reporter's Q&A in the afternoon, the spokesperson gave the explanation that the doctor's temporary body was Unable to participate due to discomfort.
On the surface, everything was calm in Linhai City, and order had been restored. Even the incident where they were intercepted and killed on the way in the early morning of the 30th was suppressed, and no news reported it.
They lay in the hospital all night. In the early morning of October 6, they finally regained some strength and could walk without any problem. Then they couldn't lie down anymore and got up and went back.
This time the doctor was kidnapped, and all the responsibility belonged to the Southern Army, but Meng Qingxiao and Zhang Chao felt very uncomfortable inside.
Meng Qingxiao was concerned about his father's safety, but Zhang Chao believed that he had lost the person he was protecting, which was a serious dereliction of duty on his part, so they both had urgent thoughts to return to the team and find Dr. Meng Wen.
However, when they returned to the capital, they were told that their protection mission was over and they no longer needed to worry about the rest.
"What should I do?" Meng Qingxiao looked at Zhang Chao who was walking in front without saying a word.
"Go back to regiment headquarters."
"I don't care about my dad anymore?"
"Let's go back first."
As for Zhang Chao, he went straight to the regiment leader's office and put his epaulettes and gun on the table.
The group leader glanced at him and said, "Where's that bastard?"
"Answer the phone outside the door."
"He didn't make trouble with the brigade commander?"
"No."
"Okay, I've finally made some progress."
"Have you thought about it?"
"Think about it."
"Okay, Zhang Chao, from now on, you will be relieved of all duties in the Northern Army. You will no longer be a soldier of our Gray Wolf Independent Regiment. All your actions have nothing to do with our Independent Regiment. All your actions will be It’s your responsibility.”
"yes."
Soon, Meng Qingxiao also came in, and Captain Zheng asked him the same question: "Have you considered it?"
"Well, my dad I have to be saved."
"You kid, there is nothing you dare not do. I also know that I can't stop you. You have to listen to Zhang Chao from now on, you know? He knows this better than you."
"yes."
Zhang Chao made a military salute, turned around and left. Meng Qingxiao also saluted and followed him out.
Zheng Weiguo's voice came from behind: "Come back alive."
"yes."
As soon as Zhang Chao came downstairs, he received a strange phone call: "Hello?"
"Battle Commander Zhang, it's me, Xu Haocun. Come to Room 401, Floor 4, No. 2, Beiwei Road A."
"What's up?"
"Order from the alpha wolf."
"almost there."
Fifteen minutes later, when Meng and Zhang arrived at the designated location, they knocked on the door and entered.
This is a very empty room with only two chairs and a table. There are three suitcases on the table. Xu Haocun and Dai Zhicong are both here.
Dai Zhicong said: "The regiment leader asked me to give these things to you, one set for each person." He opened one of the boxes and then pushed the box in front of Chaozhang. There was a gun, a stack of passports, and several coins in the box. A piece of high-tech equipment and a set of clothes.
