There were two large military trucks parked on the road outside the forest. Because Lin Shuyue was a girl and a reporter, she was invited to sit in the passenger seat of the first truck.
Hang Jiabai and others were sitting in the back of the truck. They sat in a circle against the wall of the truck. In the middle of them were Zhang Xiaohu and others who were tied up like dumplings. While the truck was moving, they kept looking at Zhang Xiaohu and others.
If they moved at all, the guns would be pointed at them.
Zhang Xiaohu couldn't understand why his foolproof plan was cut short.
In order to lure Hang Jiaqing and all the patrolmen of the Sanzhan Forest Farm where he worked into the trap he had designed, he made preparations as soon as he had established his foothold in Xingling.
Jin Wangsheng is the youngest person in their group. For the sake of this revenge plan, he spared no expense to send Jin Wangsheng to the militia and spent money to build connections to recommend him to the selection of forest patrollers.
Jin Wangsheng lived up to everyone's expectations and made it through the selection process, and was unsurprisingly assigned to the Third Station Forest Farm. When Zhang Xiaohu heard the news, he couldn't resist treating his fellow soldiers to a meal.
He had two instructions for Jin Wangsheng: first, gain Hang Jiaqing's trust. Second, find a way to link Hang Jiaqing with Cao Manjin. He wanted to see Hang Jiaqing ruined and Cao Manjin suffer a fate worse than death!
The plan went smoothly. Last week, Jin Wangsheng reported that Hang Jiaqing had developed romantic feelings for Cao Manjin. Zhang Xiaohu was immediately delighted.
So he began to have his men approach Li Xiaohe. Taking advantage of Li Xiaohe's preference for boys over girls, he hinted that her family's inability to produce grandchildren was due to too many granddaughters being born into her family. He suggested that the granddaughters must die tragically to intimidate the remaining granddaughters waiting in line to come to her family, scare them away and prevent them from returning. This way, all the grandchildren born into her family would be grandsons.
Zhang Xiaohu understands these rural old ladies too well. They will do anything to have grandsons.
The effect was as good as Zhang Xiaohu expected. Zhang Xiaohu took this opportunity to let Jin Wangsheng lead Hang Jiaqing and others to Chuzigou.
There are more than twenty of them, and Hang Jiaqing's team has no more than ten people at most, and one of them is a traitor!
More than 20 people against at most 10 people, so isn't victory a sure thing?
While waiting, Zhang Xiaohu had already thought about how to torture Hang Jiaqing and then kill him. He never expected that the battle that was sure to be won would turn out like this!
Zhang Xiaohu finally opened his eyes, which were burning with pain, and two lines of tears flowed down his face. The warm tears on his burning face made Zhang Xiaohu cry even more violently.
With the faint light, he looked at Hang Jiaqing in front of him: "Who is that little girl!"
Zhang Xiaohu couldn't stand such a flaw in his perfect plan! If it weren't for that damn girl, if they had rushed to the top of the mountain, Hang Jiaqing and the others would have turned into honeycomb coal, which would have been considered merciful of him!
Hang Jiaqing admired Zhang Xiaohu's face, which had turned into a pig-headed Indian face. "She is your great-grandmother. It is unacceptable for you not to kowtow to her when you see her. You are unfilial, Zhang Xiaohu."
Hang Jiaqing's words made the patrolmen in the truck laugh. The laughter gradually grew louder and startled the sparrows resting in the trees on both sides of the road.
Zhang Xiaohu was extremely furious, especially when he heard his brothers around him start laughing, his anger increased. With this anger, his face began to throb with burning pain.
Driving on a snowy dirt road with a lot of snow on both sides of the road, the driver had to be extremely alert. The laughter from the back of the car reached the front, which made everyone relax.
There were five seats in the cab of their car. Liu Bo, the patrol team leader and the instructor of the headquarters sat in the back.
Liu Bo said: "Zhang Xiaohu has finally been apprehended. We can have a good New Year this year."
Wang Bingqiang, the team leader of Patrol Team 2 at the General Farm, chimed in, saying, "For years, Zhang Xiaohu has been a real nuisance for us at Mandian Forest Farm. He fled to Xingling, and we're completely helpless against him. This fall, when Team Huang learned he was active in Hebei Province again, he immediately issued instructions to increase patrol coverage and shifts."
"We originally thought they would go to stations one and two, where the forests are lush and closer to Meng Province, and there are more animals. We didn't expect them to go straight to station three."
Wang Bingqiang and the others had thought that Zhang Xiaohu would come back for revenge, but they hadn't expected Zhang Xiaohu to be so anxious. When Wang Bingqiang received Liu Bo's call today, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Liu Bo glanced at Wang Bingqiang, not wanting to expose him. It wasn't that they hadn't thought of this; they had, but they didn't think Zhang Xiaohu was the type to act on impulse, which was why they hadn't prioritized patrols around Station Three.
There is also a speculation that some senior officials among them had known about Zhang Xiaohu's actions in advance, so they intentionally or unintentionally avoided the three forest farms in the planned patrol route.
But Liu Bo no longer planned to care about it. What he should do now is to win bigger medals and greater benefits for Hang Jiaqing and the others. Of course, if Hang Jiaqing and the others got into trouble this time, he would avenge them even if he had to pay everything.
Those who took Jin Wangsheng's money to make him a militiaman, and those who took Jin Wangsheng's benefits to arrange him to the Sanzhan Forest Farm, none of them will have an easy life.
However, this matter couldn't just be let go. There were a total of eight patrol officers in their forest farm. Besides him and Old Huang who stayed behind, there was a traitor among the remaining six, not to mention that the remaining five would be top-notch in other forest farms. They almost died there!
Not a single one will be left! Not only that, but also a Guangdong Province criminal police captain and an outstanding reporter who just won the Top Ten Young Journalists award!
No matter how you look at it, Liu Bo can't stand it. So those parasites in the forest patrol team, don't even think about living a peaceful life from now on!
The atmosphere grew tense, and Wang Bingqiang wanted to slap himself. He was such a bad talker. How could he have forgotten that Liu Bo from the third station was the most protective of his subordinates? Why hadn't Liu Bo been promoted for so many years? Wasn't it because he was so protective of his subordinates, so willing to repeatedly go against the headquarters to protect them?
This time, his soldiers were almost wiped out. How could Liu Bo let it go? How could he be fooled by his kind appearance? He must be holding back a lot of anger inside!
When Wang Bingqiang thought about what would happen next, he felt a headache and toothache.
Lin Shuyue didn't pay much attention to them, just taking some photos of the scenery along the way. Maybe she was very lucky, she not only took photos of roe deer jumping in the woods, pheasants coming out in groups, but also a fox hiding behind a tree.
The fur is white and red, and the eyes on the triangular face are particularly smart. If it moves loudly, it will run away in a flash.
It's like an elf in the snowy forest.
It takes more than an hour to drive from Sanzhan Farm to Mandian Farm. In the second half of the journey, no one spoke on the bus and there was no signal in the forest.
Lin Shuyue leaned on the backrest and took a nap. When she woke up, she had already arrived at her destination.
Mandian Farm is much smaller than Sanzhan Farm. A straight road wide enough for two people to walk passes through Mandian Farm, and rows of houses are along the road.
There are restaurants, clothing stores, convenience stores and other shops everywhere. Compared with the Sanzhan Farm where there is nothing, this place is obviously much more prosperous.
The car drove through the block, turned from a wider road on the east side, and stopped in front of a very large yard.
The roar of the car brought out the people in the bungalow in front of the yard.
People from the Political Department, the Armed Forces Department and the Patrol Department stood in a circle. When the car stopped, the patrolmen in the truck bed pulled the poachers out of the car.
Hang Jiabai walked around to the front of the car and helped Lin Shuyue get out.
"My brother just said that there must be someone like Zhang Xiaohu inside this forest farm. When they ask us questions later, we don't have to say anything. We can only speak after the people from the County Forestry Bureau arrive." Hang Jiabai said to Lin Shuyue.
Not only Liu Bo would not let those termites go, Hang Jiaqing would not let them go either. Jin Wangsheng had been able to lurk in the Sanzhan Forest Farm for so long, and who would believe that he hadn't been fooled? Hang Jiaqing was holding back his anger and was about to find those people and punish them.
"I know, don't worry." Lin Shuyue whispered to Hang Jiabai.
Just as the young couple were talking affectionately, a leader came forward to talk to Liu Bo and Hang Jiaqing. Their attitude was very enthusiastic, which made Lin Shuyue, who was watching from the side, always have the illusion that Liu Bo and Hang Jiaqing were the leaders.
Just as they were thinking about this, someone arrived in front of Lin Shuyue and Hang Jiabai. It was a woman, around 30 years old. She sat down and introduced herself enthusiastically to Lin Shuyue: "You are the reporter from Guangdong Province, right? I'm from the Publicity Department of Mandian Forest Farm. My name is He Tingting."
"Hello, hello." Lin Shuyue responded to her, and He Tingting led Lin Shuyue into the office.
Before leaving, Lin Shuyue glanced into the yard. Wang Benguo and his men were surrounding Zhang Xiaohu and the other poachers, guns drawn. No one could get close to them. Someone tried to take over, but Old Zhang pointed a gun at their forehead.
The two sides confronted each other, and Lin Shuyue had already entered the government office in the courtyard before she saw the outcome of the confrontation.
As soon as they came in, the leaders of Mandian Forest Farm came in with Hang Jiaqing and others.
The group of people didn't go anywhere else, but just talked and drank tea in the hall. Hang Jiaqing and Liu Bo's faces were very calm, and nothing could be seen.
Lin Shuyue turned on the good and evil radar and scanned the entire hall. In addition to Liu Bo, Hang Jiaqing, herself, and Hang Jiabai, there were thirteen people left.
Among these thirteen people, five of them have sin values exceeding twenty percent, and the values shown in the gray area are all around 30.
The man standing opposite Liu Bo, with the highest sin score of 40%, was Lin Shuyue's special attention. Everyone called him Secretary Diao. He was the secretary of the Mandian Forest Farm.
He wore a pair of glasses and looked gentle. He spoke in a very friendly manner to both Hang Jiaqing and Liu Bo.
Especially with Hang Jiaqing, Lin Shuyue heard Hang Jiaqing call him Brother Diao.
Lin Shuyue observed him for a few minutes, then looked at another arrogant young man. His sin value was second only to Secretary Diao. He didn't say anything, but held his head high, looking at everyone with an air of superiority.
He Tingting saw Lin Shuyue looking at him and said, "That's the son of the deputy director of the Forestry Bureau, his name is Wu Xingbo. He came to our forest farm just to gild himself. Although he has no special skills, everyone flatters him."
Lin Shuyue suddenly understood. No wonder a person who looked less than 25 years old could stand at the front of the leadership group. It turned out that he had someone at home.
She glanced out the window and saw that Zhang Xiaohu and the others were still squatting in the yard, and Wang Benguo and the others had not moved an inch.
The lively atmosphere of chatting in the house was finally broken after an hour. It was the people from Mulan County Public Security Bureau and Forestry Bureau who were dusty and covered with snowflakes that broke the atmosphere.
Lin Shuyue first checked their sin values, which were not high. Wu Xingbo's father was not present.
The people from the Public Security Bureau and the Forestry Bureau didn't waste any time and directly asked Hang Jiaqing and the others how they escaped from Zhang Xiaohu's encirclement.
Hang Jiaqing focused on Lin Shuyue's bottle of pepper spray, which was concentrated with chili essence and mustard essence.
As soon as the words left his mouth, before anyone else could react, Wu Xingbo, who had been unable to get a word in, blurted out, "Chili essence and mustard essence? And they're so concentrated! Aren't you guys really inhumane?"
