Chapter 681 Rescue Operation 4
Ma Youfu took a long puff of his cigarette and said, "Youlu, big brother is not old and confused yet. Can't I see whether you are a geological exploration team or not? Recently, people have been driving donkey carts and horse carts from the city to transport things here almost every day. Although the things on the carts are all packed in sacks, my eyes are not blind. Don't forget that I used to be one of the best hunters around. You don't think I can't see something unusual now, do you?"
Ma Youfu threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, sneered and said: "Youlu, big brother has now boarded your pirate ship without knowing what was going on. I regret accepting your one thousand yuan at that time. Now I think about it, I was really blinded by money. Why didn't I think about it carefully? If you are really an exploration team from the Beijing Geological Department, how could you give me money? I know that you have bribed the cadres of all sizes in the village. Ma Dalong and his militia must have been bribed by you. Otherwise, those militiamen standing guard at the intersection outside the village are not blind. How could they let your people and cars enter the village without checking? If you still think that we can't write two horse characters with one stroke, don't hide it from me."
Ma Youlu and the woman next to him exchanged a glance. The woman shook her head imperceptibly, so Ma Youlu laughed dryly and said, "Brother, it's best to be ignorant about some things, just like when you participated in the *** Dao, as long as no one else knows about it, it's fine. Anyway, remember one thing, I will never harm you, brother. It's getting late, let's go back for lunch, and you should also go to the village cafeteria for lunch."
After saying this, Ma Youlu and the woman ignored Ma Youfu, whose face had turned pale, and got up and walked out of the room.
Ma Youfu clenched his fists tightly, veins popping out on his hands. His heart was in turmoil. Even his wife didn't know that he had joined the Dao. How did Ma Youlu know this secret? He remembered that the other four of the five people who had joined the Dao had been shot one after another. He was also worried about being liquidated, so he sneaked back to Machekou Village from the capital. All these years have passed, but he didn't expect to hear about this from Ma Youlu again today.
He reached out and picked up the cigarette box from the square table, and with trembling hands he finally struck a match, lit the cigarette and took a deep puff. After Ma Youfu exhaled a puff of smoke, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. The reason why he joined the *** Dao was because he was personally invited by Zeng Tanzhu of the *** Dao in the capital. The main reason was that the other party was impressed by his skills and his marksmanship that could almost be described as 100% accurate. Zeng Tanzhu promised him a high salary of one hundred yuan a month, and he was invited to serve as the other party's bodyguard. However, with the severe crackdown by the government, many fellow Taoists were shot or arrested one after another. Seeing that the situation was not good, he sneaked away. If there was anyone else who knew about this, they must be the remnants of the *** Dao. From this, it can be concluded that Ma Youlu was most likely a member of the *** Dao.
The more Ma Youfu thought about it, the more frightened he became. What on earth was Ma Youlu doing by hiding with his men in the Ma Family Ancestral Hall in Machikou Village?
Don't be fooled by Ma Youlu's nice words just now, but based on his understanding of the underworld, these guys are definitely planning some big action. If anything goes wrong, Ma Youlu and the others will definitely escape. But he and his wife and children are all in Machikou Village. Can he really handle the government's investigation?
Just as Ma Youfu was daydreaming, a voice came from outside the yard: "Captain, the canteen is about to open for dinner. Uncle Youcai asked me to come and call you."
Ma Youfu agreed casually, got up and walked out of the house.
In the grove outside the village, the jeep carrying Director Bai Wu of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau, Qin Ming and others had already stopped.
After listening to the action team's report, Qin Ming looked at Bai Wu and said, "Director Bai, please give the order."
Bai Wu certainly understood what the other party meant. The Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill had no law enforcement authority in Changping. If he took charge, it would mean that the Security Department was assisting the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau in carrying out its mission.
Bai Wu then glanced at the action team members and the six comrades from the Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Bureau standing in front of him, and said solemnly: "Comrades, before we set off, Director Wan of the Municipal Bureau and Advisor Lin of the Administrative Council gave clear instructions that we must go all out to rescue all the kidnapped children, and at the same time, directly shoot those criminals who resist stubbornly. I am here to remind everyone that the criminals entrenched in the ancestral hall of Machikou Village are all vicious and desperate criminals. Comrades must pay attention to their own safety while successfully completing the mission."
Everyone present stood at attention solemnly and agreed: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
Bai Wu glanced at his watch and ordered in a deep voice: "According to the plan just formulated by the action team, start the action immediately."
Everyone agreed and quickly took action.
At the intersection leading to Machikou Village, under a thick willow tree, two young men in their twenties, carrying old sleeves on their shoulders, were leaning against the tree and chatting.
A dark and thin young man on the left rubbed his stomach and couldn't help but mutter, "Shanzi, do you think there will be meat in the cafeteria for lunch today? My stomach is rumbling non-stop, and I don't know when Erniu and the others will come over to take over."
The young man named Shanzi took a puff of his cigarette. "I say you are just ungrateful. Think about how you used to work in the fields with your family early in the morning. You had to work so hard to have a meal of steamed bread and pickles. Now the canteen not only provides enough white flour buns, but also a lot of meat in the big pot. You should be content with your life now. Besides, Brother Dalong has stipulated that we only need to stand guard for a morning and then we can go home and sleep in the afternoon. In addition to the work points for full attendance every day, we will also have an extra box of Dashengchang cigarettes to smoke. Don't complain about it. After Erniu and the others finish their meal, they will definitely come to take over. You can go back and eat two more white flour buns and have a good sleep in the afternoon. Why rush? Anyway, the canteen will definitely reserve food for us militiamen on guard."
The dark-skinned young man chuckled twice: "That's right. Now we have big white steamed buns to eat every day. In the past, we could only eat white flour steamed buns during the New Year and other festivals. By the way, Shanzi, if we eat like this now, how long can the little food in the village last? I heard from others that there is not much food left in our village warehouse now."
Shanzi said nonchalantly: "If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Why are you worrying about this? Anyway, the team leader is in the village. Are you still worried about not having white flour buns to eat?
