Chapter 754 - 740
"Emma, can you talk! Can you breathe!" Tang Xiaoquan feigned surprise, walking over to Wang Qiang and waving his hand in front of his face a couple of times. Wang Qiang brushed his hand away and angrily shouted, "What the hell are you doing, you son of a bitch, what kind of nonsense are you pulling!"
"Oh! So, you really are alive. You have the nerve to ask me what nonsense, I’m thinking you’re the one going crazy. Look at you, standing by the door in a daze all day. What’s so captivating outside, a pretty girl?"
"Get lost, no pretty girl. I’m annoyed because of the weather. Don’t you know the current situation of the villa? Aren’t you worried?" Wang Qiang rolled his eyes, staring at Tang Xiaoquan.
"Oh, come on!" Tang Xiaoquan dismissed his excuse with a sarcastic tone, "Wang Qiang, stop pretending, everyone knows what you’re up to. Seriously!"
"What the hell? What are you saying? I have something up my sleeve? You say..."
"Yes, Old Xu, this is Old Zhao! I hear you clearly! Go on! Over!" Wang Qiang was cut short as Old Zhao came out of the kitchen with a hand-held radio, looking serious.
"Hey, Old Zhao, is that Old Xu over there? Is there something up?" Tang Xiaoquan asked instinctively. Old Zhao gestured for silence, signaling him to stay quiet and pay attention to the broadcast.
Everyone in the room went quiet, eerily silent, and Wang Qiang eagerly watched the hand-held radio in Old Zhao’s hand, contemplating whether that person would contact him.
Old Xu gave a detailed account of their encounter and conversation with Liu Fugui today to Old Zhao, which undoubtedly surprised Old Zhao and the rest.
Tang Xiaoquan greeted the latter and took the phone to confirm with Old Xu: "Lieutenant Xu, it’s Little Tang. Did you just say Liu Fugui’s factory was taken over by that He Lei using some strategy? Over!"
Hearing it was Little Tang’s voice, Old Xu perked up, having always admired the young man’s quick mind and meticulous thinking.
He made this phone call not only to inform the external team about the villa’s new situation but also to get the latter’s unique opinions and views: "Little Tang, you heard right. It’s precisely He Lei. Quite unbelievable, right? Old Lin and I were just as shocked when we heard the news! Over!"
"Did Liu Fugui come with his son? Over!"
"Yes, he did. From some of Liu Yunpeng’s actions, it doesn’t seem like Liu Fugui is lying about the attack they encountered! Over!"
"And in the search and rescue team that went to aid him, was Yao Ruyi included? Over!"
"Correct, there were four people in total. Two died, and among the remaining two, there is indeed Yao Ruyi! Over!"
"What about Huang Yong? Did he mention where Huang Yong is? Over!"
"He really didn’t mention that..."
Tang Xiaoquan blurted out three rapid questions, and upon getting the answers, he immediately offered his opinion: "Old Xu, from the current situation, Liu Fugui’s story has too many dubious points. It cannot be entirely believed nor fully dismissed. Firstly, I find it unreliable that He Lei could seize the factory right under his nose. Moreover, as you said, Liu Fugui never mentioned Huang Yong during your conversation, which contradicts how we’ve often seen him heavily relying on the latter in the factory. And about Yao Ruyi, when we inquired about my parents’ whereabouts last time, we saw his state ourselves. Although I know he was faking his words, his physical weakness was indeed real. How could Liu Fugui send such a person on an outdoor mission? Over!"
"Yes... ah!" Listening to Tang Xiaoquan’s analysis, Old Xu drew a sharp breath, realizing that old fox Liu might have ulterior motives in coming to the villa. He quickly said, "Little Tang, to be honest, Old Lin and I are also skeptical about Liu Fugui’s reasons for coming. Okay, I’ll discuss with Old Lin later. To be safe, we need to devise a plan to send that old fox away. Over!"
"Wait, Lieutenant Xu! I’m not finished. What I said is just speculation. As I mentioned, Liu Fugui’s words cannot be entirely believed or believed completely. Because judging from him surrendering his firearms and bringing his son here, he doesn’t seem to be lying. But we can’t fully grasp this old fox’s thoughts. So, what we need to do now is not to send him away but to strengthen our defenses. Especially when his two subordinates arrive, we must assign extra personnel to monitor their actions in the villa. Furthermore, our related evacuation plans and the second shelter must be kept confidential from him. Most importantly, in the event of a confrontation with incoming enemies, you must be extra cautious in deploying Liu Fugui and his men, and avoid assigning them to key defense positions to prevent any treachery. That’s basically my opinion! Over!"
Tang Xiaoquan’s words made Old Xu suddenly see the light, lifting his previously gloomy mood with his brilliant analysis: "Little Tang, you really spoke to my heart. Indeed, in the face of Yang Buwei and his group, Liu Fugui’s firearms and personnel are a substantial reinforcement for us. I really don’t want to send them away hastily. But you’re right, we must enhance monitoring and management of them. Alright, I have a clear idea now. How are things on your side? The snow is so heavy, and the weather is so cold. Make sure your cold resistance measures are adequate! Over!"
"Haha, Lieutenant Xu, we’re fine here. We’ve completed the relevant renovations earlier, and it’s manageable inside. Plus, Old Zhao is preparing a feast for us. Over!"
"Haha, great. I’m telling you, don’t rush back to the villa. Rest assured about our situation here, we’ll handle it properly. Wait until the weather improves and the road conditions are suitable before you return. Don’t take risks; it would be troublesome if something happens on the way. Remember, safety takes precedence over everything! Over!" Old Xu’s tone was serious but filled with care.
"Understood, Lieutenant Xu. On our way back, we’ll stop by the factory for a reconnaissance to see if it’s as Liu Fugui said. Keep an eye on things for us until we return. Over!"
"Mm, alright, just mind the safety! Old Lin and I will keep an eye on the villa’s affairs, so don’t worry. Okay, nothing else to say for now. I won’t disturb your feast preparations, haha! Over!"
"It’s a pity Tang Xiaoquan didn’t join the military. With a few years of training, he could have been a general!" Xu Renjie couldn’t hide his admiration for Tang Xiaoquan.
Old Lin replied with a smile, "Haha, Old Xu, don’t always think about recruiting all good talents to the army. Tang’s parents might not be willing to let their child suffer like that."
"Ah!" Mentioning Tang Xiaoquan’s parents, Old Xu sighed heavily with a downcast look, "Honestly, we owe Little Tang too much. He has contributed so much to our small team along the way."
"Yes!" Old Lin agreed quietly with a trace of sentiment, "If it weren’t for Tang’s many times saving the day, my life would have ended long ago. In truth, we still haven’t been able to find his parents’ whereabouts, it’s deeply shameful!"
Old Xu nodded silently, vowing inwardly that he would help Tang Xiaoquan find his parents’ whereabouts no matter what.
He had already found a direction. The incoming Yao Ruyi was his target. This person who faked illness and fooled Old Zhao and the others last time, upon seeing him this time, he must find a way to pry open his mouth to uncover the truth of the matter. (To be continued.
