181 Good News, Bad News
After listening to Jiang Chen's report, the middle-aged man said, "Yuechuan disappeared after arriving at Fengcheng headquarters. I think his disappearance has something to do with the Left Faction."
As soon as the middle-aged man said this, the room fell into silence. After a long silence, a man sitting on his right said, "Commander Fu, I want to go to Fengcheng City to investigate the mastermind behind Yuechuan's disappearance."
When Jiang Chen heard this, he said, "Commander Fu, please let me go to Juncheng City. I think Yuechuan is still in that city. Since he hasn't contacted us, he must be in trouble."
Fu Zongshang looked at them and lowered his eyes to think.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Alright. Make sure to retreat as soon as possible when you complete your mission, and be careful with Gao Shuwei. He may be the mastermind behind Yuechuan's disappearance."
Getting Fu Zongshang's permission, Jiang Chen and Wu Yehao stood up and saluted him, "Yes, Commander."
After everyone left the meeting room, Fu Zongshang stood up and walked up to the floor-to-ceiling windows. He looked at the white world outside the window and clenched his hands behind his back.
Concern clouded his face, but no one knew what he was thinking.
Three days later, the government made another announcement. There will be another thousand job vacancies, but relief supplies will be reduced to every two weeks.
Upon hearing the announcements, the survivors cried in despair, but there was nothing they could do.
Thanks to Quan Yuanwei's connections with the government, the Quan family got the news faster than the general public. Yao Ran had just finished her morning exercises when she heard someone talking outside and went out to take a look.
Seeing her coming out, Long Yu approached her and said, "Quan Yuanwei just came to bring us news."
Yao Ran looked at Quan Yuanwei and asked, "What news do you bring?"
Quan Yuanwei replied, "The military finally found out that those who collected the protection grains were members of the Crouching Tiger Gang."
Yao Ran heard this and said, "This is good news. So what will the military do now? Will they attract the headquarters of the Crouching Tiger Gang?"
Quan Yuanwei and Long Yu looked at each other when she said that, and Yao Ran noticed their gloomy expressions. She looked at Long Yu and asked, "What's wrong?"
Quan Yuanwei said, "I don't know the specific situation, but my friend, who is working for the government, heard that the order to exterminate the Crouching Tiger Gang had been canceled."
"Without permission from the above, the military cannot mobilize troops. So, for the time being, the military can only monitor the Crouching Tiger Gang and wait for the order to arrest them."
After hearing his explanation, Yao Ran frowned. Now that the military has information about the Crouching Tiger Gang, they should be able to eradicate it in one fell swoop. However, instead of taking action, those at the top canceled the operation and banned the military from taking action.
Why do they do this? What do they want to do?
Yao Ran thought about it and felt something was wrong. It seems that someone in the government wants those gangsters to occupy Juncheng City. But– why?
Seeing that she was deep in thought, Long Yu looked at Quan Yuanwei and said, "Brother Quan, thank you for telling us the news. Yesterday, Shi Xuan discovered that Lu Hong had some contacts with the Crouching Tiger Gang. He may have made some moves these days. You should be careful and don't go out if you can."
Quan Yuanwei nodded, "I will inform A Yun and his family. If there is any other news about the government, I will inform you."
After Quan Yuanwei left, Yao Ran looked at Long Yu and asked, "Has Shi Xuan found out about Lu Hong's plan?" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Long Yu nodded, "He said Lu Hong might attack the community today."
Hearing this, Yao Ran's eyes flashed with realization. She quickly took out binoculars from her space and walked to the window at the end of the corridor. Seeing this, Long Yu followed her.
Through the binoculars, Yao Ran saw several unfamiliar faces, decadent and disheveled. Those men kept knocking on doors at apartment buildings, hoping someone would open the door and take them in.
Yao Ran zoomed in and saw that those people's eyes were as sharp as eagles. Although they wore patched clothes and their faces were dirty, their clear eyes and healthy bodies suggested they were not survivors in need of help.
When Yao Ran saw this, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly. She handed Long Yu the binoculars and said, "Long Yu, you might want to see this."
Long Yu raised the binoculars and looked at those people down there.
Seeing him raise his eyebrows slightly, Yao Ran chuckled and said, "It seems that the soldiers are not as obedient as they seem. Don't you think so?"
Hearing this, Long Yu looked at her helplessly.
As an ex-soldier, he knows that soldiers do not blindly follow orders. Once they notice something suspicious, they will take precautions, even toward their supervisor, and may even conduct some secret investigations.
After teasing her boyfriend and making him speechless, Yao Ran said, "Now that the soldiers have sneaked into our community, they must have plans for those who will come to collect protection grains."
Long Yu nodded, "You are right."
He handed the binoculars back to Yao Ran and added, "Let's see how the situation goes first before taking action."
The two of them stood there for a while, counting the number of soldiers who had sneaked into the Ling Yuan apartment complex.
Seeing that more than twenty soldiers had successfully sneaked among the residents, Yao Ran asked, "Long Yu, do you want to train our abilities together?"
After being injured by those people from the Yao Security Company, Long Yu knew that his current strength was too weak to protect himself or his lover and friends, and he needed to improve his combat power as soon as possible.
