Chapter 391 1979, Zhang family, Zhang family!
Chapter 391 1979, go home, go home!
The next day.
Ministry of National Defense, Office of the Undersecretary.
Wu Zhiqing is reviewing documents.
He wore black-framed glasses, his shirt was always buttoned neatly, and his hair was combed meticulously.
He is a very rigorous person.
Down to every stroke of the signature.
No matter how big the task was, whether it was a task assigned by the Chairman or Jianfeng, he could complete it meticulously.
"Zecheng, the difference in military supplies this month is more than 80,000 US dollars. Send it back and let the Supervisory Office investigate it carefully." After approving the document, he raised his hand and handed it to Yu Zecheng beside him.
"Yes." Yu Zecheng took it.
"Deputy Minister, Hong Zhi wants to see you." The guard walked in.
"Well, please let him in." Wu Zhiqing nodded.
Hong Zhiyou walked in.
Yu Zecheng looked at Hong Zhiyou in surprise, but due to his status, he just smiled and nodded without asking any questions.
"Secretary Hong, long time no see. How are you?"
Wu Zhiqing walked over and shook Hong Zhiyou's hand tightly.
He knew that this was his true "comrade".
"Secretary, I am no longer the Secretary General.
“Just call me Zhiyou.
"Director Jianfeng asked me to come and talk to you about something."
Hong Zhiyou smiled and said.
"Zecheng, you go and do your work first." Wu Zhiqing raised his hand and said.
Yu Zecheng took the order and went out, closing the door behind him.
Wu Zhiqing led Hong Zhiyou to sit on the sofa and poured tea:
"What are the director's instructions?"
"Deputy Minister, there are no outsiders here, so I will just speak frankly.
"I need you to give the order immediately and cooperate with me to transfer Yu Zecheng away from Wan Island." Hong Zhiyou said.
"The personnel authority is now in the charge of Jianfeng. He can make the transfer directly. There is no need for my cooperation." Wu Zhiqing said with a businesslike smile.
"Deputy Minister, let's not beat around the bush. I'm talking about the organization's cooperation.
“I am one of the few people who know your identity.
“I was the one who killed Chai Qian.
“I tampered with his notebook.
"The name on his notebook was originally yours, but I had it changed to Kuang Fuchun."
Hong Zhiyou said in a deep voice.
Wu Zhiqing had anticipated this and did not seem surprised.
Hong Zhiyou is the investigator of the Kuang Fuchun case.
If you want to wear it, you don't have to wait until today.
"how to say?
"I am assigned by the East China Bureau, and Yu Zecheng is the direct leader of Line 1. In terms of rank alone, his confidentiality level may be higher than mine.
“The organization has not made clear our affiliation.
"To be precise, I have no right to give him orders."
Wu Zhiqing frowned and answered truthfully.
“You have to give the order, he’s exposed.
“I’ve met Jianfeng.
"He showed me a lot of materials that confirmed Yu Zecheng's identity.
“At the same time, last year you planned the case of Fang Mengao flying back to China.
"Yu Zecheng has met Fang Mengao in private, and Jianfeng knows it clearly.
“The reason I didn’t do anything to him was because my tens of millions of dollars of assets in Wandao were keeping him alive.
"I can protect him this time, but I can't protect him forever.
“Jianfeng has already set his sights on him, so there’s no point for him to stay.
"He respects you very much, and so do I. You are more effective in speaking than I am.
"Give the order."
Hong Zhiyou said in a tone that did not allow for negotiation.
Wu Zhiqing's expression changed slightly.
He did not expect Yu Zecheng's situation to be so dangerous. He thought for a moment and said:
"it is good.
"I will do some ideological work on him right away. We will meet today..." Wu Zhiqing had the instinctive vigilance of a senior agent.
"rest assured.
"I'm asking you for someone, this is a necessary procedure, Jianfeng will understand.
"Deputy Director Wu, please... take care of yourself."
Hong Zhiyou looked at this hidden hero and said goodbye.
Both of them shook hands with great strength.
There is an indescribable emotion.
"I hope we can meet again one day." Wu Zhiqing said with a smile.
"Most definitely."
Hong Zhiyou let go of his hand, bowed in greeting, then quickly opened the door and left.
"What's for lunch?"
In the corridor, Yu Zecheng asked.
"Chai Qian's favorite steak from Bolero Restaurant." Hong Zhiyou curled his lips and walked away with a smile.
"Adjutant Yu, the Deputy Minister asks you to come over." A guard came over and called him.
Arrived at the office.
After closing the door, Wu Zhiqing motioned for him to sit down and said solemnly:
"Comrade Zecheng..."
When these words were spoken, Yu Zecheng jumped up from the sofa in shock.
In all these years of Jingmo, Wu Zhiqing had never called him that.
Yu Zecheng’s first reaction was that something had happened.
“You’re exposed.
“Jianfeng has a man called Wang Zhanjin. He has met your wife and knows that she is the guerrilla leader of the Second Brigade of Yi County and once served as the chairman of the township party and league association.
"Last time, you and Fang Mengao planned to fly back to China.
“Jianfeng also knew about it.
“If Hong Zhi hadn’t had so many companies backing him up, you might have been arrested.
"So, Comrade Zecheng, you are no longer suitable for lurking."
Wu Zhiqing said calmly.
Yu Zecheng was trembling all over.
Not fear.
But he didn't expect that his mission would suddenly come to an end.
A bit caught off guard.
"I know I have no right to order you around.
"Now I advise you as a brother, friend, and comrade that you must leave Taiwan immediately."
Wu Zhiqing's expression became serious and he spoke in a tone that did not allow for any questioning.
"Minister Wu, I really want to work for you.
"I really……"
Yu Zecheng's speech was somewhat incoherent.
"Comrade Zecheng, let's go.
"I have seen too many comrades sacrificed because of Chai Qian's betrayal. I don't want you to be one of them again." Wu Zhiqing patted him on the shoulder.
“Don’t worry about me.
"I will stay and be buried here until the end of my life. When the army retakes Wan Island one day, my soul will fly to my homeland as soon as possible to report the good news to you." Wu Zhiqing said with a smile.
"Deputy Minister, take care."
Yu Zecheng's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs.
"Take care of yourself.
"Zhecheng Comrade!
"While Jianfeng hasn't changed his mind, you should immediately submit an application for medical treatment on the island, and I will sign it immediately."
Wu Zhiqing calmed down his emotions and gave instructions efficiently.
"Yes!"
Yu Zecheng saluted respectfully.
Back in the office, Yu Zecheng wrote the report tremblingly and handed it to Wu Zhiqing.
Wu Zhiqing motioned for him to sit down.
Then, he picked up the phone and dialed Jianfeng's special number:
"Hello, Director, it's me, Zhiqing.
"It's like this, Hong Zhiyou came to my office just now and asked me for someone.
“He said he wanted to ensure that my adjutant Yu could go to Hong Kong for medical treatment.
“I dare not approve it.
“When Director Mao was alive, he reported to Minister Zhou Zhirou that Yu Zecheng’s identity was suspicious.
“He has already handed in the report.
"Please tell me what I should do?
"okay, I get it.
"Goodbye, director."
After hanging up the phone, Wu Zhiqing looked at Yu Zecheng and said with a smile: "Jianfeng personally agreed."
After saying this, he breathed a sigh of relief, signed his name and stamped it.
"Let's go."
He handed the document to Yu Zecheng.
"Yes!"
Yu Zecheng bowed to him slowly, bit his lip lightly, and walked out with a feeling of sadness and reluctance.
Wu Zhiqing walked to the door.
Looking at Yu Zecheng's gradually receding back, her eyes were already wet.
……
Hongsheng Company Headquarters.
Hong Zhiyou returned to the courtyard very late after handing over the account book to the new head of the company.
"Has it been approved?" As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yu Zecheng drinking red wine.
“Approved.
“Finally going home.
"It is time to say goodbye to this land."
Yu Zecheng looked around and said with a slightly sad tone.
"Are you reluctant to let go?" Hong Zhiyou asked with a smile.
“I can’t bear to.
“Every time I think of the comrades who sacrificed their lives in Babacho, I feel a little unwilling.
"The revolution has not yet succeeded, but I want to retreat first."
Yu Zecheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.
“It will work.
“About another 60 years or so.
"So, your only mission for the rest of your life is to live well and hold on until that time."
Hong Zhiyou laughed out loud, poured a cup and walked to his side and said.
“Sixty years, that’s a long time.
"We will be almost a hundred years old by then, wouldn't we have become old monsters?" Yu Zecheng clinked glasses with him and said with a smile.
"Ok.
“I guess we can’t wait any longer.
“But you must have faith in the mainland, and this prosperous era will eventually be as you wish.
"In the future, this sea will be filled with numerous powerful ships and vessels. Our aircraft carrier fleet will roam the sea, while the US military's scrap metal will have no choice but to flee.
"Our fighter planes will pierce the sky.
"Drones would swarm over their heads like seagulls.
"Our intercontinental missiles can reach Washington!"
Hong Zhiyou stopped pretending and described the magnificent and grand scene of the future.
Yu Zecheng was stunned.
He exhausted his imagination but could not imagine what the scene was like.
"Is there any plane in this world that doesn't need a pilot?" He asked curiously, eyes wide open.
“It’s more than just airplanes.
“And there are unmanned boats.
"Unmanned vehicles and smart driving do not require manual operation.
“And satellites are like a pair of eyes in the sky that can see every corner of the Earth.
"besides……"
Hong Zhi explained to him patiently.
“Tsk, tsk, it’s incredible.
"It would be a pity if you don't make up stories with your brain.
“But you are a demigod, I hope you can win this time.
"Tell me more..."
Yu Zecheng poured him another glass of wine and pulled him aside to talk. The two chatted until three in the morning before returning to their rooms.
Yu Zecheng sat next to the radio and turned on a familiar station.
Still no news.
There will be no more news.
He took a deep breath and turned the radio to the local pop music channel.
Then, he said softly towards the sea:
"Zuo Lan, I'm going home.
"Don't be afraid.
"In another sixty years, my spirit will come to take you home.
"Wait for me."
……
The next day.
Bay North Airport.
Wan'an came to the airport to see him off on behalf of Jianfeng.
After a brief farewell, Hong Zhiyou and Yu Zecheng returned to Hong Kong with Xie Ruolin's ashes.
Xiangdao.
Hong family.
Wu Ruirui held a grand welcoming ceremony for Yu Zecheng.
Hong Xiaohui, Xie Peidong, Rong Bin, et al.
Almost all the old acquaintances from Jinhai were there.
Yu Zecheng and Hong Zhiyou drank a lot of alcohol.
Especially "Yangsheng Hong", he hadn't drunk so much in more than ten years, his alcohol tolerance was very low, and he vomited all over the place.
"Wife, I, I finally completed my senior sister's request and brought Old Yu back safely.
"Do you think I'm awesome?"
Hong Zhiyou was lying on the bed, acting drunk and crazy.
“Great, great.
"Who are you? You are Secretary General Hong, Mr. Hong. There is nothing in this world that you can't do."
Wu Ruirui said unhappily while wiping his mouth.
Hong Zhiyou felt relaxed.
She felt pain.
First, he donated more than three million US dollars to the Wandao Foundation to compensate for the fighter jet that Fang Mengao drove away.
At the same time, it agreed to invest in some public hydropower facilities in Hualien and Tainan.
That thing is just a waste of money and is only used to help with construction.
But there was no way. As soon as Jianfeng approved the release of the person, the department below called to ask for money.
Do you really think Lao Hong has such a high profile?
Those were all people who were "bought" with real money.
But she didn't want to tell Hong Zhiyou so much.
First, take into account the last bit of affection between the man and Jianfeng.
Second, to save Hong Zhi's face.
After all, he hasn't been out for more than ten years, and he ended up getting screwed over. It would be embarrassing if it got out.
Most importantly, she knew that her man was sentimental.
If I don't rescue Yu Zecheng, I will never be able to rest in peace in this life.
Just think of it as spending money to make him happy.
As long as he is happy!
"Ruirui, give me 200 million tomorrow and help me exchange my senior sister and Sanmin back. It's done!" Hong Zhiyou was talking nonsense and making gestures.
"Okay, okay.
“Go to bed quickly, you still have to go to the mainland.
“Don’t you see what the situation is like now?
"You're just spending money to harm others!"
Wu Ruirui was simply speechless.
……
The next day.
When Hong Zhiyou woke up, the first thing he did was to look for Lao Yu.
On the beach, I saw Lao Yu pushing Wu Jingzhong, and I felt relieved:
"Fortunately, it's not a dream."
After saying that, he lazily returned to the house and continued to catch up on his sleep.
“Teacher, when we were at Jinhai Station, you always said that after you retired, you would take Zhiyou and me to enjoy a good life.
“Now students are taking advantage of this.”
Yu Zecheng pushed Wu Jingzhong and chatted as they walked.
“Well, you’re stupid too.
“After all these years, I only got three broken planes.
“You might as well have told me earlier, and I would have bought you a cross and donated it to the mainland.
“What a loss.
"You don't use your brain. You might have brought a lot of things to the mainland by now, but why do you have to go through all that trouble to do it secretly?
"Stupid, clumsy!"
Wu Jingzhong pointed at him and smiled shrewdly.
"Yes, students are stupid." Yu Zecheng nodded repeatedly.
"Take good care of yourself when you come back this time. There's plenty of money at home, and we don't need your money." Wu Jingzhong patted his hands and said.
"Yes." Yu Zecheng said.
“Zhiyou said that it’s time for Xiangdao 97 to go home.
"We have to take good care of our bodies and live another 30 years, just in case he's right again."
Wu Jingzhong whispered.
"Yes, he is a half-immortal." Yu Zecheng said with a smile.
"Teacher, when did you know my identity?"
At this point, there is no need to hide it anymore, Yu Zecheng asked.
"when?
"With all the mess that Lu Zongfang has done, can you be clean?
“Liu Wensheng’s matter.
“I saw some of it.
"Why.
"I was also confused by the years when Boss Dai transferred me to the Northeast.
"I just think, it doesn't matter whether you are red or black, as long as you can make money for me, it's fine.
"For you, I sacrificed my hawk.
"Liu Xiong!
"Back in Harbin, it was a nightmare to the puppet army and the devils.
"Once, he was exposed, and more than a dozen secret agents under Gao Bin chased him and beat him, but he killed one of them and escaped without a scratch.
"Ah, my unfortunate old brother!"
Wu Jingzhong recalled the past and smiled.
"Section Chief Liu just doesn't understand the Jade Throne Golden Buddha and Studebaker's theory." Yu Zecheng said with a smile.
"Haha!" Wu Jingzhong laughed out loud.
……
night.
Yu Zecheng came to Hong Zhiyou's villa.
"Uncle Yu."
Shouye and Lele quickly stood up and greeted them.
"You guys sit down, I'll take a look around." Yu Zecheng said.
“That won’t work.
“Brother, you guys chat.
"Shouye, Lele, now that you're full, it's time to go visit grandma."
Wu Ruirui took the bowls and chopsticks for Yu Zecheng and quickly sent the two children away.
"I deliberately moved a little further back, why are you eating just now?" Yu Zecheng asked with a smile.
"I just got up after catching up on a day's sleep."
Hong Zhiyou said in a daze.
"Is there... any news about Cuiping?" Yu Zecheng asked.
He didn't want to trouble Hong Zhiyou again and again.
However, apart from him, Yu Zecheng really didn’t know who to look for.
“The situation over there is not very good right now.
“Sanmin’s past identity was a bit troublesome.
"Originally, Luo Bing went to Yilan and had someone to contact, but now...
“So, I don’t know much about the news about my sister-in-law and Cheng Yu.
"Old Xie and Xiao Hui have also lost contact with that side.
"Hold on."
Hong Zhiyou shrugged, feeling really helpless.
"Okay." Yu Zecheng said.
……
1979 October.
Yu Zecheng is 63 years old.
Hong Zhi is 56 years old.
In the early morning, the bald Rong Shao... Grandpa, holding a large stack of "Homecoming Permits for Hong Kong and Macao Compatriots", excitedly walked into the villa:
"Lao Yu, Zhi You, everyone, it's approved, it's approved, we can go to the capital."
"Very good.
"I'm going to Jinhai to eat beef ribs, pancakes, and gabacai."
Wu Jingzhong's face flushed and he shouted like an old child.
"Grandpa, what is gabacai?" the great-granddaughter who looked like a porcelain doll asked with blinking eyes.
"go home.
"When we get home, ask your great-grandmother to make it for you." Wu Jingzhong picked up the little one and gave him a kiss.
"I can't cook it. I can only make chicken soup." Mei Qiuju laughed.
"You are really boring."
When it comes to stewing soup, Wu Jingzhong's face turns unhappy.
"Everyone, we will charter a plane tomorrow and fly directly to Jinhai.
"Sanmin has resumed work. He and Xiaohui will meet us there."
Rong Bin announced.
"Very good.
"Go home, go home."
Inside the house, Lao Zhou, Sun Cheng and a group of other old men all had tears in their eyes and cheered.
To wait for this day.
They were so eager that their eyes were dazzled.
Finally, the day came when the leaves returned to their roots.
"Rui Rui, tell Xiao Qian to take the ashes of Old Xie, Sun Xing, Section Chief Xiao, Fang Min, and Ji Qing. Let's take them home together."
Hong Zhiyou ordered.
Sun Xing did not have hypoglycemia at all. Not long after Lao Xie passed away, Sun Xing died of brain cancer.
Lao Xiao accompanied Fang Min and Ji Qing to Thailand to discuss business and died in a conflict with local robbers.
"I've been prepared for it." Ruirui, who has passed the irritable period of menopause, has silver hair on her head, but she is also more gentle.
Yu Zecheng, with a head full of white hair, was holding his ID card, but he was full of worries.
"What's wrong?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
"No, I, I'm a little scared..." Yu Zecheng's lips trembled.
"If we can't find Cuiping and Chengyu, or if they have already..."
His originally weak body and his hands and feet were shaking even more violently.
"No, Lao Yu, Luo Bing and Sanmin have all resumed their work, we will definitely find them." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Ah."
Yu Zecheng nodded.
"In addition, Sanmin and his friends are trying to get you admitted into the party. Sanmin said that there are still some elderly people like Luo Anping who are alive. If they are willing to write documents and issue a certificate for you, the organization will agree.
"Don't worry, the organization will not forget a hero like you."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"Yes, there are also Deputy Minister Wu, Zhang Wencheng and other comrades." Yu Zecheng nodded vigorously.
"Believe me, it will happen. It will happen."
Hong Ji-you held his hand.
Old Yu has always been a worried person. After so many years since he came to Jinhai, his health has long been broken. His mental illness is difficult to cure, even with the best medical conditions.
So, his health is actually not as good as Old Wu's.
Moreover, I have been in a trance for the past two years.
Hong Zhi is very worried about Lao Yu.
If there is no good result when he returns home this time, he is afraid that Lao Yu will not be able to bear it and will collapse.
