Chapter 245 Escape from the Fire

Chapter 245 Escape from the Fire

"That's all for today, go to bed early."

Old Deng smiled and said to Xiao Bi. Xiao Bi did not have high education and had only studied for a few years, but he had great sympathy for the workers and peasants. He was diligent and studious, and was a good young man.

He has been studying with him recently, and Xiao Bi has made it clear that after studying with Lao Deng, he will go to a more difficult base area and teach what he has learned to more people, especially the soldiers in the base area.

Lao Deng believed that Xiao Bi would become a very important teacher in the base area in the future.

At the surveillance point, several people watched them turn off the lights and then went to eat.

The electric fan whirred, and a team member smiled and said to Yan He: "Captain, we feel much more comfortable now that we have this guy."

On a hot summer day, the cool wind is so refreshing.

"The team leader feels sorry for us and specially helped us apply for this."

Yan He is also very satisfied with the electric fan. It is not as unbearable as the heat in the room before. The most favorite thing for everyone to do is to go out and take a shower.

Otherwise, you will be covered in sticky, smelly sweat, which will be very uncomfortable.

"Arrange the people on duty and let the others rest."

After eating supper, Yan He ordered that the team leader would naturally not stay here at night. He, the team leader, was responsible here.

In response to the Red Party's surveillance, they must stay close to people around the clock, so that any movement from the Red Party cannot be hidden from them.

In the dead of night, Yan He went back to a separate room to sleep. There was a electric fan there, blowing a comfortable wind. He slept very well and sweetly.

This was the fan that Bao Shengqun had manipulated. The rapidly rotating blades slowly increased the heat inside.

Yan He, who was sleeping soundly with the wind blowing, didn't know that the fan's heat was about to reach its limit.

The heat in the base continued to intensify, and a little spark came out.

The fan was still spinning, Yan He turned over and continued to have a sweet dream.

The small flame grew bigger and bigger, and soon it ignited the sundries on the table, and soon a huge pillar of fire sprang up. The curtains covering the room were ignited, and the whole room instantly turned into a fire.

"Where did the smoke come from?"

The people on duty outside had smelled a strange smell just now, but couldn't find the reason. Now smoke kept coming into their room, and the people on duty immediately realized something was wrong.

When he opened the door to the captain's bedroom, he was stunned there.

"It's gone."

After several seconds, the team members howled at the top of their lungs. Yan He was awakened from his sleep. He only felt heat, but he was asleep and did not notice that his room was on fire.

The fan stopped spinning at some point, and the whole body was on fire.

Yan He was stunned, and the shouts of the team members woke up other people. When they saw the fire, many people immediately went to find water to put out the fire.

Yan He didn't bother to put on his clothes and ran out wearing only his underpants. He was shocked and looked at the fire in the room. He didn't know how the fire started. If the team members hadn't been clever, they opened the door to his bedroom in time and woke him up. If you kill him, he might be burned to death inside.

He shuddered at the thought.

The fire was already coming out of the roof, not to mention that the team members just shouted. Many neighbors were woken up and found that the fire was moving, so they came over to help put out the fire.

These houses are all connected. If the fire cannot be controlled, it is very likely that their house will be burned down.

Lao Deng and Xiao Bi were also awakened. They quickly put on their clothes and came out. They noticed a fire diagonally across the street. Without thinking much, they hurriedly picked up buckets to help put out the fire.

"not good."

Yan He's expression changed. They were still monitoring the Red Party on the opposite side. If there was a fire on their side, it would most likely alert the people on the opposite side.

"Quick, come with me to arrest someone."

Yan He grabbed his men's clothes and put them on quickly. Fortunately, they had been monitoring him for several days and his men had extra clothes, and all his clothes were in the room.

His gun is also in the room. Who dares to get it now? It will probably be burned.

"boom."

Lao Deng and Xiao Bi had just received the water when an explosion sound suddenly came from the burning room, which sounded like gunshots.

This voice made Lao Deng instantly alert.

"Xiao Bi, come here."

Lao Deng greeted Xiao Bi and took him to hide in the dark. People were all around him putting out fires. It was so noisy that no one noticed them at all.

Soon he saw at least a dozen people rushing into their house.

If they are exposed, agents will arrest them again.

After looking at the burning house, Lao Deng was still frightened, so he pulled Xiao Bi and ran out without thinking.

There is nothing valuable or important at home, only their false identities. The agents have already rushed in. They have no chance to go back to get these things and must escape as soon as possible.

"Walk."

Taking advantage of the chaos, Lao Deng pulled Xiao Bi away quickly. After making sure that no one was following him, he quickly took Xiao Bi to another safe house.

On the other side, Yan He entered the room and found that the people inside were no longer there. He was so angry that he fired several shots.

The sound of gunshots scared away many people fighting the fire. After Yan He realized that the Red Party members living here might be involved in fighting the fire, he hurried out again.

But there was no trace of them outside.

The person they were monitoring closely escaped because of a fire.

"Old Deng, what's going on?"

It wasn't until he was inside the safe house that Xiao Bi dared to ask in a low voice. Lao Deng patted him and said in a deep voice: "We have been exposed. A spy just entered our house."

Everyone is putting out the fire, and there is no well in their house. The neighbors who are putting out the fire will not run to their house.

It was so late, even if there were thieves who took advantage of the fire to steal things, there would not be so many people. Lao Deng did not have any luck. With so many people, they must be spies.

In addition to the previous suspected gunshots, he also heard several consecutive gunshots while running away, which further confirmed this guess.

Fortunately, there was a sudden fire, otherwise they would not have discovered the existence of the spy, let alone have a chance to escape.

He didn't care. After working for so many years, he had already put life and death aside, but it would be a pity if Xiao Bi died with him.

"spy."

Xiao Bi was shocked. How could they have spies here? When did the spies target them?

"Old Deng, not many people know that we are here." Xiao Bi was very smart and immediately thought that they might have been betrayed.

"Lao Shi hasn't been here for how many days?"

Lao Deng asked suddenly. Shi Haiyang was his downline and would usually come to him to report some work to him.

Apart from Shi Haiyang, only his upline Lao Hu knew about his place.

"It's been seven or eight days," Xiao Bi thought for a moment and whispered back.

Lao Deng's face was gloomy. If Lao Hu had rebelled, the spies would have taken action long ago. It was obvious that the spies were secretly watching him in the situation just now. If it hadn't been for the sudden fire, the spies would not have come to arrest him.

From this point of view, it is very likely that Shi Haiyang will be arrested and rebel.

Moreover, the day before yesterday was the day he and Shi Haiyang arranged to meet, but Shi Haiyang did not show up.

In a job like theirs, it was normal not to show up on time. Lao Deng had no suspicion at the time. Now that he had discovered the spy and had suspicion on Shi Haiyang, he immediately understood that it was not that he had something to do but that he could not come at all.

Shi Haiyang had obvious signs of torture on his face, how could he come to see him?

Fortunately, Shi Haiyang didn't know about his safe house, otherwise he would have run away now, but he only had this safe house, and he would have nowhere to go if he ran away again.

As for going online to Lao Hu's house, he didn't even think about it.

Now that he was in danger, he didn't know if anyone was watching him secretly. It was absolutely impossible for him to go to Lao Hu at this time.

"Old Deng, was it Lao Shi who betrayed us?"

Xiao Bi asked carefully. He was not stupid. He knew that there were not many of them, but now they were suddenly exposed. If he hadn't been careless, someone must have betrayed them.

There were not many people who could betray them. Lao Deng suddenly asked Shi Haiyang, naturally suspecting him.

"Without evidence, we cannot doubt any of our comrades now."

Lao Deng shook his head. He didn't want to believe that Shi Haiyang had betrayed them, but Shi Haiyang was indeed the most suspicious person at the moment.

Whether it is him or not, Lao Deng will verify it during the day.

"Where are the people?"

Tan Wenbo, leader of the second team of the Intelligence Section of the Party Affairs Investigation Department, hurried over after receiving a call late at night.

The fire has been extinguished. Fortunately, there is a pond next to it, and the lookout point they rented is not a purely wooden structure, otherwise it may cause a bigger fire.

Yan He and others all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.

"Yan He."

Tan Wenbo scolded angrily, and Yan He immediately raised his head: "Team leader, we don't know where the people have gone. The fire was so sudden. By the time we reacted and wanted to arrest them, they had already run away."

The fire has been extinguished, and the person hasn't come back yet. It could be something other than running away.

"asshole."

Tan Wenbo slapped Yan He on the face. Yan He did not dare to move, despite the burning pain on his face.

The team leader used great force, and Yan He felt his anger deeply.

The person ran away, and their efforts to stare at him for so long were in vain. Shi Haiyang only knew his upline, but did not know the whereabouts of other red parties.

I thought that by catching Shi Haiyang, I would be able to capture more red party members, make a good contribution, and show my face. But now I'm fine, I have nothing.

The key is that the section chief knows about this case, and the division chief also knows it, and they have high expectations for them.

What does this ask him to explain to the section chief and division chief?

Early the next morning, the Party Affairs Investigation Office was filled with a strange atmosphere. Bao Shengqun didn't ask anything, but he noticed that all the people from the second intelligence team were back.

"What are you doing for food, and how did it cause such a big fire?"

In Old Gui Xu's office, he was cursing people. He was scolding Lin Peilun and Tan Wenbo, the chiefs of the Intelligence Section. The previous traitor case caused him to lose a lot of points with the old man. He originally wanted to use this good result to restore his impression, but he didn't expect to be The intelligence department screwed up.

"Virgin, people from the technical department have gone to investigate. The preliminary judgment is that the fire was caused by improper use of electrical appliances."

Lin Peilun, chief of the Intelligence Section, explained bravely.

"Electrical appliances, what appliances?"

Lin Peilun looked at Tan Wenbo. He had never been to the surveillance point. Tan Wenbo was commanding the surveillance point.

"It seems to be an electric fan, Virgo. You also know that it is too hot now, and the brothers at the surveillance point are working hard. The electric fan we just received from the General Affairs Department yesterday, could it be that the General Affairs Department deliberately faked it? Did you cause this fire?"

In order to avoid responsibility, Tan Wenbo could only throw dirty water on the General Affairs Department.

"asshole."

Mr. Xu angrily threw the water cup in his hand, and the water cup hit Tan Wenbo directly. Even though the hot tea was flowing on his body, Tan Wenbo did not move at all.

Tan Wenbo is shirking responsibility, and Old Ghost Xu knows this very well.

But his words made Old Ghost Xu also murmur in his heart. Could it be that the General Affairs Department really tampered with the equipment just to make money?

He didn't expect that the purpose of passing off inferior goods as good ones and exchanging old ones for new ones was a way for the General Affairs Department to make money, and he knew this very well.

"Let the people from the technical department check if there is any problem with the equipment in the general affairs department."

Old Ghost Xu ordered the secretary, who quickly left. Tan Wenbo felt a little relieved. As long as Virgo suspected the General Affairs Department, the purpose of diverting trouble to the east would be achieved.

In fact, he himself suspected that there was a problem with the equipment provided by the general administration, which was the real cause of the fire.

As for someone deliberately doing something, neither he nor Old Ghost Xu thought about it, let alone had any doubts about Bao Shengqun.

It didn't take long for the technical department's investigation results to come out.

The fire at the surveillance point was caused by an electric fan, but the remaining electric fans in the General Affairs Section were all fine. It was not a problem with the equipment itself, but rather with their improper use.

This result made Mr. Xu slap the table angrily.

Soon, rumors spread throughout the department that the Intelligence Department was severely scolded by the Chief.

In the office, Bao Shengqun was drinking tea leisurely. The Intelligence Department's operation had obviously failed. He felt a sense of joy in his heart. No one knew that he had done it, let alone thought of him.

Even if they found out that the electric fan caught fire, it would be fine. Electrical appliances are prone to fire. Who should they blame for not paying attention?

During the day, Lao Deng walked slowly on the road alone.

He walked through many deserted intersections and even stopped to wait to make sure there was no one following him before he carefully arrived in front of a house.

"Old Deng, why are you here?"

It was his online boss, Lao Hu, who opened the door. Today was not the day they agreed to meet. There must be other reasons why Lao Deng came over suddenly.

"Go in and talk." Lao Deng looked back and quickly entered Lao Hu's home.

"I was exposed. There were spies in my previous residence."

Lao Deng's first words startled Lao Hu. He quickly walked to the door and looked outside, then checked the windows. Finally, he came to Lao Deng's side and asked hurriedly: "Tell me more details. what happened?"

Lao Hu is a main member of the Nanjing Red Party. His identity is the same as Director Yang, very important, but he is not on the same line as Director Yang.

Director Yang is responsible for business, while Lao Hu is responsible for discovering and transporting talents to the base area.

He has many more downlines than Director Yang. If something happens to him, it will have a huge impact on the organization.

"last night……"

Lao Deng explained the situation in detail, and then expressed his suspicions. Lao Hu was fine. It could basically be concluded that Shi Haiyang betrayed them.

Shi Haiyang, the traitor, not only knew of his existence, but also met Lao Hu.

Fortunately, the organization is now tight. Although they have met, Shi Haiyang does not know Lao Hu's identity, otherwise Lao Hu will be in danger this time.
