The Counterattack of the Villains

Chapter 19 Better to lose than to wake up

"Husband, where is your entry point?"

"It's right at home!"

"Oh, what should we do now? Go up?"

"Go up, with the identities we are pretending to be, it will be more like that when we come back in the middle of the night."

"It makes sense, let's go then."

The couple immediately opened the door and walked out. Li Mu originally wanted to make a call first, but the cell phone he had placed on the computer table was no longer there.

Not surprisingly, after Zhang Qin’s parents called the police, the police took away Zhang Qin’s mobile phone to investigate their disappearance. The same goes for Zhang Qin’s mobile phone.

Going upstairs to the door of Zhang Qin's parents' house, Zhang Qin rang the doorbell.

Perhaps after the two disappeared, the two elders slept very lightly due to restlessness. Zhang Qin only pressed the door a few times, and footsteps sounded from inside the door.

The footsteps stopped in front of the door. It must be that the person inside the door was observing through the peephole.

The next moment, the door clicked and someone opened it suddenly. Judging from the sound of the door handle, the person who opened the door was very excited and used a lot of force.

The door opened, and Father Zhang's haggard and extremely excited face appeared in front of the two of them.

"Xiao Qin, Li Mu, you..." Father Zhang just started to say a sentence, his voice choked up and he couldn't say any more.

"Dad." Zhang Qin burst into tears instantly, threw herself into her father's arms, and started crying with suppressed voice.

Father Zhang frowned because he found that something on his daughter was touching him.

Li Mu said softly: "Wife, let's go in first and then talk about it!"

Zhang's father also patted Zhang Qin's back and said warmly: "Okay, okay, let Li Mu come in first. If you have anything to say, we will say it behind closed doors as a family, so as not to disturb the neighbors' rest."

Zhang Qin then left his father's arms and ran to the master bedroom with tears in his eyes.

Zhang's father suddenly felt a slight tremor all over his body, then he opened the door and said to Li Mu, "Come in."

His face was calm, but his eyes were a little red because he suddenly saw his missing daughter back, but he was secretly surprised in his heart.

Because Zhang Qin's coat was unbuttoned, when she left Zhang's father's arms, he subconsciously looked at her ribs, because that was where something was hitting him just now.

As a result, he almost peeed when he saw his daughter. Although he only caught a glimpse when his daughter turned around, he could see clearly that her daughter actually had a pistol on her body.

When Li Mu and his father-in-law sat down on the sofa in the living room, they heard the cries of Zhang Qin and his mother-in-law coming from the master bedroom.

Father Zhang wiped his eyes, and Weng and his son-in-law sat in silence for a while. When the mother and daughter's crying subsided, Father Zhang tentatively asked Li Mu, "Where did you find Xiaoqin?"

Li Mulue pondered for a moment and then said: "The capital."

Father Zhang was greatly surprised and asked: "Why did she suddenly run to the capital quietly without telling anyone, what on earth are you doing?"

"This..." Li Mu struggled for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, there are some things that cannot be said according to the regulations. If you can promise not to tell anyone, I can tell you in violation of the rules."

Father Zhang frowned and said hesitantly: "I have worked as an accountant all my life. Of course I know what can and cannot be said, but if you really can't say it, then don't say it."

While talking, Zhang Qin took Zhang's mother's hand and walked out of the bedroom and sat down on the sofa.

Zhang Qin said to the two elders with red eyes: "Mom, Dad, there are some things that really shouldn't be said, but if you don't make it clear, I'm afraid you won't feel at ease either."

"But as long as you don't leak it, it won't be a problem. Once it is leaked, not only will we be in danger, but you will also be in danger."

Father Zhang smiled bitterly and said: "Listening to what you said, I feel that after knowing the truth, we will be even more uneasy. Whatever, you can tell me, we promise not to spread it."

Zhang Qin looked at Li Mu and said, "Husband, tell me!"

Li Mu nodded and said seriously to the two elders: "Mom, Dad, that's it. Aqin and I were recruited by the country and joined a secret department."

After speaking, he took out the ID card, handed it to Father Zhang, and said, "This is my ID card."

Zhang Qin also took out his ID and handed it to his mother, saying, "This is mine."

Zhang's father and Zhang's mother each took the two people's certificates, opened them and looked at them. Zhang's father asked the two of them: "What does your secrecy bureau do?"

Li Mudao: "Dad, spy agent, you know, right?"

"What?" Zhang's father suddenly stood up and glared: "Is this what you do?"

Zhang's mother's face was also pale. When she was young, she had read a novel called "Ice is Sleeping Water", which was a full-length novel that showed the mysterious life of a national security agent.

So she thought she knew very well what kind of situation the agents would face.

Zhang Qin stood up and sat down, dumbfounded, and said, "Dad, don't get excited, we are not spies."

Zhang's father just breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the sofa. Li Mu's next words made him sit up again.

Just listen to Li Mudao: "We are not spies, but we specialize in dealing with spies."

"The Secret Bureau is responsible for the country's confidentiality work, investigating and handling leaks, confidential cases, and any cases involving state secrets are under our control."

"Aqin and I are members of the action team. Our main job is to capture foreign spies or traitors who betray national secrets."

Zhang's mother said uneasily: "Isn't that more dangerous than being a spy? After all, you are the enemy in the open and in the dark!"

Zhang Qin said helplessly: "Mom, don't be so excited. It's not as dangerous as you think. Don't be brainwashed by novels."

"I have also read your book "Ice is Sleeping Water". It is just a novel, reality is not a novel."

Li Mu also echoed: "Yes, in movies and novels, spies are described as super soldiers, but this is not the case."

"A spy agent in reality may just be a bribed civilian employee, or he may be an ordinary person who can't even fire a gun."

"There are very few spies with super combat capabilities like James Bond in reality, and even if there are, it may not be our turn."

"What's more, Aqin and I are not vegetarians. Ordinary special forces are no match for us."

Father Zhang curled his lips and said: "You and I believe it, as for this girl...with her thin arms and legs, can she still fight against the special forces?"

Li Muku laughed out loud, but Zhang Qin's head was full of black lines and said unconvinced: "Dad, who do you look down on?"

After a quick glance, I found a stainless steel thermos cup on the coffee table. I picked it up, held the middle part of the thermos cup with both hands, and squeezed it hard.

In the stunned expressions of Zhang's parents and Zhang's mother, the thermos cup was crushed by Zhang Qin.

Zhang Qin proudly put down the deflated thermos cup, raised an eyebrow at his father and said, "How are you, dad? Do you believe it now?"

Mother Zhang on the side couldn't help but shed tears again, and choked up: "You couldn't even lift a bucket of pure water before. How much hardship did you have to endure to become like this?"

Hearing her mother's words, Zhang Qin couldn't help but feel a sore nose. She didn't suffer much, she just walked back and forth on the edge of life and death for a few times.

When I thought about how frightened I was in the world of biohazard, I couldn't help but shed tears.

However, she still sat next to her mother and comforted her: "Mom, it's over. Don't be sad."

"Everything is meaningful. Some things have to be done by someone. I feel that what I am doing now has allowed me to find the meaning of life."

Li Mu also solemnly said: "Mom and dad, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Aqin. As long as I still have breath, I will never let anything happen to her."

Father Zhang sighed and said: "Aqin is right, all of this is meaningful. There must be someone to protect national secrets, whether it is our children or other people's children. I am proud of you."

Zhang's mother said a little sadly: "After you do this job, you will have little time to go home, right?"

Li Mu lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes, we have just finished training this time and have a week's vacation. We may have little time to come back in the future."

"But don't worry, we will occasionally have some holidays and will come back to see you."

Father Zhang nodded, patted the back of Mother Zhang's hand to express comfort, and then warned the two of them: "Then you must be more careful when working."

"Yes, we will."

It was late at night, and after the family chatted for a while, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother felt tired.

Since Zhang Qin and Li Mu disappeared one after another, they had not had a good night's sleep for a long time, and they would be awakened by the slightest movement.

Every time the neighbors downstairs came home, they hoped that their daughter and son-in-law were back, and hurriedly ran down to check.

Unfortunately, every time it ends in disappointment, and then I return home dejected and cry silently.

Now that they are back, seeing that they are safe and sound, and knowing their whereabouts, the old couple has finally let go of their worries.

Although I can't help but worry about them in the future, at least I know where they are and what they are doing, instead of having no news like before.

Zhang Qin planned to sleep with her mother tonight, and her father could only sleep in the second bedroom. Naturally, Li Mu went downstairs to sleep at home.

After all, it's so close. If you live upstairs and downstairs, there's no need to share a bed with my father-in-law.

Li Mu returned home, pulled out the vibranium dagger from his waist, looked at the end of the dagger and smiled, then threw it on the coffee table and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

At around five o'clock in the morning, a motorcade drove into the county's armed police detachment training ground, and those who got out of the car were people from Longyin Base.

All national security personnel sent by the city and local police leaders were present.

Everyone didn't talk nonsense. After a brief introduction, they went directly into the conference room.

In the conference room, after everyone took their seats, leader Long Yin asked straight to the point: "Has the situation at the target location been found out?"

A national security officer said: "It has been found out that the signal location you gave is in a residential area. The head of the household is Li Mu. His situation is a bit complicated."

Everyone in Longyin Base stared at each other and looked at each other. Captain Panlong Squadron asked seriously: "Is it that Mu who came back from Africa?"

The national security officer nodded and said, "That's him. A few months ago, he went to the police station to report that his wife was missing for no reason."

"More than half a month after he reported the crime, his father-in-law and mother-in-law came to report again, saying that he was also missing."

An officer from the Longyin Base slammed the table and said angrily: "I just said that this guy suddenly returned to China. There must be something going on. I didn't expect that he was so bold that he dared to target Colonel Chu."

Another sergeant major said with a gloomy look: "Even if he is Mu, he can't kidnap Colonel Chu from the base silently. Long Yin's security level is not comparable to that of the West African Leopard Command."

Hearing his words, others also felt a shadow cast over their hearts, and the conference room became quiet.

Of course they understand what the sergeant major means. If nothing else, there must be someone inside the base who is cooperating with him.

An old man with gray hair who was not wearing a military uniform said: "Things have priorities. The top priority is to arrest Li Mu and rescue Chu Xuan. We will postpone other matters later."

Captain Panlong said solemnly: "I believe everyone is aware of Li Mu's combat effectiveness."

"After analyzing the details of his battles in Africa, it is no surprise that he should be the one who unlocked the gene lock."

"In the process of carrying out the arrest operation, we must be more careful and not give him any chance to resist."

The sergeant major said: "Can we control his father-in-law and mother-in-law first and let him use the rat weapon?"

Captain Panlong said: "No, since his target is Colonel Chu, the purpose of marrying Zhang Qin and living an ordinary life is probably to paralyze the country and make it think that he has really retired."

"In this case, how much affection does he have for Zhang Qin? Even if he and Zhang Qin truly love each other, who is more valuable than Colonel Chu or his father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

"So we can't act rashly, lest we steal the chicken but lose the rice, and instead alert the snake, trigger his nerves, and do something irreversible."

The sergeant major spread his hands helplessly and said, "Then what are you going to do?"

At this time, the local police leader suddenly said: "Do you think this will work? Aren't they still dealing with a missing person case?"

"Since Colonel Chu's positioning signal appears at his home, it proves that he is probably at home now, and maybe Colonel Chu is also there."

"It's better for our police to send personnel to Li Mu's home to check out the situation first."

After hearing the words of the public security leader, everyone was moved. After Long Yin's people exchanged glances with each other, Captain Panlong said: "I think this plan is feasible."

"When your people come to the door, we will arrange snipers and assault teams here. Remember, all firearms use tranquilizer bombs. Li Mu cannot die yet."

Another middle-aged man in civilian clothes said: "One more thing. Don't aim at him before you are sure to launch an attack. The sniper's crosshair must not be set on him. You can only observe with your peripheral vision."

"People who have unlocked the gene lock are very sensitive in this regard. The principle of action this time is 'it is better to lose it than wake it up'. We do not seek merit, but seek no fault."

The so-called "better to be lost than to wake up" is a jargon in the industry, generally used in tracking, monitoring, and exploratory contact.

It means that you would rather lose track or return without success than let the target wake up.

Because after one group of people loses track, there will always be another group of people to take over and reattach the target.

If one contact fails, there will be a second chance.

But if the target is awakened, then it is basically impossible to take a long-term approach to catch big fish, or to collect evidence for follow-up.

A police inspector said: "Let me go. I have had contact with Li Mu and Zhang Qin before. I was involved in their acquaintance. Let me go to lower his wariness."

As soon as he said this, everyone turned to look at him. The police leaders hurriedly asked what happened, and the police inspector told everyone what happened.

Five years ago, Zhang Qin called the police because Li Mu had not been out for a long time and was afraid something would happen to him.

Two policemen were dispatched at that time, and this police inspector was one of those two policemen.

At that time, he also persuaded Li Mu to go out more often and stop being bored at home all the time. When he left, he jokingly asked Li Mu to thank the girl.

So when he said that he was involved in the acquaintance of Li Mu and Zhang Qin, it was not false.

In the end, Long Yin's leader decided to proceed accordingly, and the police inspector first entered Li Mu's home to conduct preliminary inquiries.

Long Yin, the gray-haired old man in casual clothes, handed him a miniature in-ear earphone and gave him a positioning device.

In this way, Long Yin can see the positioning signals of his location and Chu Xuan, and the distance between them.

At around seven o'clock in the morning, Li Mu got up and went upstairs to prepare to have breakfast at his father-in-law's house.

When she arrived at the door of her father-in-law's house and was about to ring the doorbell, the door to the next door suddenly opened. Chen Yanqiu, wearing a silk nightgown, leaned out half of her body and placed a bag of garbage at the door.

The moment she stood up, she happened to see Li Mu and was stunned on the spot.

Li Mu smiled at her and waved, saying hello: "Sister Qiu, long time no see."

Chen Yanqiu immediately came to her senses and exclaimed: "Li Mu? Where have you been these days? Have you found Xiaoqin?"

As she spoke, she opened the door and trotted up to Li Mu.

Li Mu pointed to the door of his father-in-law's house and said, "We found it. We came back last night. She slept with my mother-in-law last night."

Chen Yanqiu breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said angrily: "Where have you two guys been these past few months? Do you know how many people are worried about you?"

Li Mu smiled bitterly and said: "Something happened, and we happened to have something to tell you. We'll come over for breakfast later. For now, you'd better go change clothes first!"

Chen Yanqiu lowered her head to take a look, her face couldn't help but blush slightly, she quickly turned around and ran towards her home, saying, "Then I'll be here soon."

Li Mu shook his head with a smile, and was about to raise his hand to ring the bell when the door opened first. Zhang Qin poked her head out of the door and happened to see the door of Chen Yanqiu's house closed.

"Were you talking to Sister Qiu just now?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Qiu came out to throw away garbage and happened to see me. I asked her to come over and talk about transferring your shares in the company to my parents' names."

Zhang Qin suddenly realized, nodded and said: "Well, it is indeed necessary to deal with it."

Li Mu carried Zhang Qin into the house, greeted his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then told them about the transfer of shares.

The old couple naturally had no objection. Their daughter had no time to take care of the company, so of course they had to protect her share of the business.

After a while, Zhang's mother made breakfast, and Chen Yanqiu came over.

Seeing Zhang Qin, she shouted, "Damn girl, where did you go, you left me alone?" She stepped forward and took her into her arms, and then...

"Ouch, what is it? It hurts me so much." Chen Yanqiu rubbed her ribs with one hand and opened Zhang Qin's coat to check, but she was stunned on the spot.

Zhang Qin buttoned up his coat calmly and said with an embarrassed smile: "You have worked hard these past few months, and the company will all depend on you from now on."

Chen Yanqiu asked cautiously: "You... still want to leave?"

Zhang Qin nodded and said, "Well, that's why I invited you here today because I want to discuss the equity transfer with you."

"From now on, you will hold 51% of the company's equity and you will have absolute control. The other shares will be transferred to my parents' names. They will not participate in the management of the company and will only receive dividends."

Chen Yanqiu was a little panicked. She held Zhang Qin's hand tightly and asked anxiously: "What on earth are you doing now? Why do you look like you are explaining the funeral arrangements?"

"Bah, bah, bah..." Zhang Qin hurriedly said a few times, and said coquettishly: "Sister Qiu, can't you just hope that I'll be better?"

Chen Yanqiu lightly slapped herself, and then asked: "What's going on with you? Why do you carry it with you... How can I rest assured if you don't explain it clearly?"

Zhang Qin looked at his parents and Li Mu, sighed helplessly, and said: "Okay, let me tell you the truth, Li Mu and I were recruited by the country and will serve the country in the future. As for what we will do specifically, I can't tell you.

you."

Chen Yanqiu was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, and then asked in a low voice: "Hidden front?"

Zhang Qin nodded silently, and Chen Yanqiu took a breath, and then became inexplicably excited. She felt very excited.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Qin quickly reminded: "Just know it yourself, and don't tell anyone else. Only my parents and you know about this."

"If it leaks out, both you and my parents may be in danger, and it may even kill Li Mu and me."

Chen Yanqiu's heart trembled, she nodded solemnly, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, you won't tell me even if you beat me to death."

"I have long regarded my uncles and aunts as my biological parents. From now on, if you are not at home, I will fulfill my filial piety for you."

Zhang Qin was secretly moved when she heard this. She didn't say thank you, but just hugged Chen Yanqiu gently again.

Zhang's father and Zhang's mother are also very grateful. This is a child who knows how to be grateful.

It was Li Mu and Zhang Qin who gave her the opportunity and allowed her to achieve what she has achieved today in just a few years. She has always been grateful to Li Mu and Zhang Qin in her heart.

Zhang Qin is both a good sister and a noble person to her. Now she finally has a chance to repay this kindness.

After breakfast, Zhang Qin took her parents and Chen Yanqiu to the company to handle the equity transfer.

Li Mu did not go, after all, the company had nothing to do with him, so it would be useless if he went, he could only stay aside and wait.

At the beginning, he only handed over 5 million to Zhang Qin and Chen Yanqiu, but did not participate in the management and operation of any company.

So he told Zhang Qin that he would go to the vegetable market to buy some ingredients and prepare a sumptuous dinner for them in the afternoon. Zhang Qin readily agreed.

At around eight o'clock in the morning, Li Mu returned home carrying large and small bags of ingredients, and then started processing the ingredients at home.

At around nine o'clock, a police car drove into the community. In fact, they could have come earlier, but they chose to come during working hours in order not to expose their flaws.

On the tops of several tall buildings about five or six hundred meters away, snipers at several points were already in place.

There are many types of vehicles outside the community, including vans, vans with single-face masks, commercial vehicles, etc.

Once something goes wrong, the community will be surrounded in an instant.

Two uniformed police officers got out of the police car. One of them, the younger one, was holding a folder in his hand.

The older police inspector touched his ears, took a deep breath, and said to his assistant: "Keep calm, don't be nervous, just treat it as an ordinary police dispatch."

The assistant pursed his lips and nodded. He didn't need to speak anyway. He only had to look at the inspector's eyes and act immediately, so the pressure was relatively low.
