District 9

Early the next morning.

As soon as Jiang Xue got up, he received a strange phone call.

"Hello."

"Hey, hello, are you Mr. Jiang Xue?" the other party asked.

"Yes, who are you?"

"I'm from the president's office of Shuzhong Investment Company. Are you a friend of Mr. Qin Yu?" The girl's voice on the phone was sweet.

"Yes, I am."

"Do you want to invest in Shuzhong Company? Our president would like to ask you to meet and talk. When is it more convenient for you?"

"I'll be fine in the morning." Jiang Xue replied with a smile.

"How about you come to the company at ten o'clock in the afternoon? We are on Xinhuili Street..."

"Okay, okay, I'll remember it. I'll be there in a minute." Jiang Xue nodded.

"Okay, just give me a call when you arrive, and I'll go down to pick you up."

"No problem, bye." Jiang Xueshun hung up the phone, with a faint smile on his face, and whispered softly: "You really got things done, you are a fastidious person."

After washing up, Jiang Xue left the residence and made a phone call in the car: "Hello? Xiao Xu, help me follow that line again. I have a hunch that something big is going to happen in Yanbei."

"Then for this matter...should we use people from the station?" Xiao Xu asked.

"No, check it privately and reply to me quickly." Jiang Xue said in a low voice.

"OK."

After saying that, the two ended the call, and then Jiang Xue sent Qin Yu a text message, which read: "Thank you, Qin Lu."

…

Gu Shen arrived at the hotel at around nine o'clock in the morning. After having breakfast with Qin Yu and the others, he led everyone to wander around the city of Yanbei, waiting to meet Gu Yan's father in the evening.

The other end.

Today is the last day of the General Political Meeting of the Military Department. There will be a break in the morning and a closed-door meeting at 1 p.m.

noon.

After the people from the First Theater Command had eaten, they rushed to the venue together.

When it was approaching 12:55, Gu Tai'an, Gu Taixian and others came out of the lounge and walked into the venue. By this time, the other big guys had already arrived a few minutes early.

In the venue, Gu Tai'an nodded to the people on the left and right, then sat in his seat, quietly waiting for the arrival of the military and political leaders.

To the right, Lin Yaozong was also sitting in his seat, looking down at the information, and talking with people from the World War II Zone Headquarters from time to time.

Six or seven minutes passed in a flash, and it was already past one o'clock, but Laoshou Zhang had not arrived yet.

"It's too much," Gu Taixian said a little strangely: "What's going on?"

No one would be late for this kind of meeting, and there would be no traffic jams, because the area around the venue and the road leading to it were all under traffic control, so Gu Taixian said something strange.

Gu Tai'an also lowered his head and glanced at his watch, but said nothing.

After another two or three minutes, the Secretary-General of the General Administration of the Military Department walked in, quickly walked up to the rostrum, and said softly: "Something happened temporarily. The meeting will be postponed for two hours. Everyone can go to the lounge and sit down. eat something."

When Gu Tai'an heard this, he frowned slightly and stood up directly.

"Hooraa!"

Everyone in the First War Zone stood up and followed the Iron Hat King out of the podium passage.

"What's going on?" Gu Taixian followed and said, "It's not the way to postpone the meeting until after a while, isn't it?!"

"Call the person in charge of the General Administration and ask what's going on." Gu Tai'an said calmly.

The colonel's staff member immediately nodded upon hearing this: "I'll fight."

While talking, everyone entered the designated lounge together. Gu Tai'an walked to the window expressionlessly, turned his back to everyone and greeted: "You guys sit down."

After everyone heard the sound, Gu Taixian sat down first, and then others followed suit.

A few minutes later.

The senior colonel staff member returned after making a phone call outside the door. He walked quickly to Gu Tai'an and said softly: "Commander, I asked the people in the general administration, and they are also confused now. The convoy is already waiting there, but there is no one." Get someone.”

"No one came out?" Gu Tai'an turned around and asked.

"Yes, he is in his residence and has not come out yet." The senior colonel's staff member nodded.

"Has the convoy left?" Gu Tai'an asked again.

"No, still waiting." the colonel replied softly.

Gu Taian put his hands behind his back, pondered for a few seconds and then asked, "Has anyone gone there?"

"No." The colonel shook his head.

"Well, wait." Gu Tai'an stretched his hands behind his back and rubbed them together out of habit.

…

About two hours and five minutes passed.

The Secretary-General of the General Political Department personally walked into the lounge and greeted Gu Tai'an with a smile: "Commander Gu."

"Hey, Secretary-General Zhang." Gu Tai'an turned around.

"Are you anxious?" The secretary-general stepped forward and said softly: "We just received a letter from the villa. Mr. Zhang ate some meat for lunch and his blood pressure has gone up. He may need to take a breather."

Gu Tai'an paused and asked, "Is it serious?"

"It's okay, Lao Anchor is sick." The secretary-general replied with a smile: "I just finished talking to Shouzhang on the phone. He is in good spirits and will be here after the injection. But the afternoon meeting may become an evening party. "

"Oh," Gu Tai'an nodded: "Then just wait."

"Okay, there are tea and meals here at the venue. I'll have someone bring them over." The secretary-general said politely, "Then you guys have a rest first and I'll notify the others."

"good."

After that, the secretary-general left.

Gu Taian put his hands behind his back and rubbed them faster and faster.

"How about we call the villa directly?" Gu Taixian asked with a serious face.

"Dial the number and pick it up for me." Gu Tai'an replied softly.

Hearing the sound, Gu Taixian took out his mobile phone and dialed the number at the villa. After the two parties communicated for less than a minute, he raised his head and said, "The people at the villa said that the doctor is checking up on me and will be back later."

Gu Tai'an said nothing, turned around and walked towards the window again.

"It's a bit abnormal." The colonel's staff officer said with a serious face.

Gu Tai'an raised his fingers and said immediately: "If the meeting can't be held, I won't have dinner with Xiao Qin in Yanbei. Let's go back to the headquarters."

Lao Gu said this very tactfully, but the senior colonel's staff already understood it. He took out the phone, nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll make arrangements."

The senior colonel's staff walked to the door and dialed the number of the headquarters security battalion: "Come to Yanbei immediately."

…

In another lounge.

Lin Yaozong sat on the sofa, frowning slightly and said to the person next to him: "Verify the news as soon as possible."

"Okay." The middle-aged officer nodded and immediately ran out.

Around six o'clock in the evening, it was getting dark, but the regular meeting still hadn't started. A group of big guys were waiting in the lounge. They couldn't leave early, and they couldn't ask around like headless chickens.

Secretary-General Zhang from the General Political Department came three times, but all he said were clichés and stalling for time, which made the big bosses even more confused.

After more than ten minutes, Gu Tai'an suddenly turned around and said, "No wait, go to the villa."

"Didi!"

At this moment, Gu Taixian's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw a few big words written on it.

"Old Shouzhang passed away!"

When Gu Taixian saw this text message, his head buzzed and he stood up instinctively.
