Xiao Ke was furious when he heard this. He said angrily: "The original plan was to send people to pretend to be experts and secretly cross the Chencang Pass while protecting Professor Yang, Professor Tang, and Researcher Wu, and at the same time, we could kill two birds with one stone.

Long Fei refused to accept it, saying that his order was to protect the experts, not to attack the enemy. He also said that the leader of their relationship with the military was a rural police station chief named Qin Dabao. This was simply ridiculous.

Xie Jiayin's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes changed. The image of the handsome yet domineering young man appeared in her mind. Her heartstrings were tugged, and she suddenly lost the desire to speak.

Seeing that Xie Jiayin no longer paid attention to him, Xiao Ke felt bored, so he took a cigarette and walked out.

In the corridor of the soft sleeper compartment, he lit a cigarette, threw the cigarette box to the two men on the side, took a puff, and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Xiao Ke knew that his action this time had many loopholes and was a bit too eager for quick success, but he had no choice. Since he was with Du Lanlan, his true nature gradually showed up. He was too narrow-minded and used people forward but not when he didn't. His colleagues in the department did not have a good impression of him.

After Du Lanlan noticed it, she no longer liked him as much as before. Now, whenever they quarreled, she would mention Long Fei, and she seemed to regret her choice. If Xiao Ke had not been so cunning, he would have taken advantage of a dinner after a week of dating to get Du Lanlan drunk and have sex with her. Then Du Lanlan might have found someone else by now.

But even so, the leaders of the department had doubts about his ability. If it were not for the recommendation of Zhou Mingjie, the director of the confidential department and a good friend of his future father-in-law, he would not have received this escort mission.

Zhou Mingjie clearly told Xiao Ke that he must make achievements this time to shut up the people in the department, otherwise he might be removed from his position as team leader, or be sent to an obscure department, where it would be difficult for him to make a name for himself.

Xiao Ke agreed readily. Zhou Mingjie knew him well and knew that he was a useless person with no ability, so he introduced his good friend, physicist Professor Yang Jingning, and Professor Yang's assistant Xie Jiayin to him to cooperate with this mission.

Professor Yang Jingning and his student and assistant Xie Jiayin worked at the 741 base for many years and were among the transferred personnel.

However, the most important person in this transfer was not Professor Yang, but Professor Tang and his wife, and another person was Professor Tang's student, researcher Wu Qiming.

Xiao Ke arranged Professor Tang and his wife in a private room at the other end of the car and did not assign anyone to protect them. This was to give the enemy spies the illusion that the two elderly couples were insignificant people and to make them ignore them.

Originally, they wanted to arrange Researcher Wu in two boxes away, but unexpectedly, Researcher Wu's son wanted to accompany his father to see him off, and he was a public security officer, which disrupted Xiao Ke's plan. Finally, he had no choice but to arrange Researcher Wu and his son in the sixth box, adjacent to Dabao's box.

This is really a plan that cannot be changed quickly. Wu Fan was just a small episode. Qin Dabao's search and arrest operation completely disrupted his plan.

This train was so clean that there wasn't even a thief, let alone an enemy spy. Xiao Ke cursed inwardly: Damn it! If we reach Xinjiang without any trouble, the mission will be over, and he will be finished too.

Xiao Ke's face became increasingly gloomy. He looked out the window and slammed it hard. He was too naive about Long Fei. He was a very disciplined person. No matter what he did, he was very methodical, even when it came to dating. The main reason why Du Lanlan broke up with him was that being with Long Fei was boring and not romantic at all.

Xiao Ke has many ways to trap Long Fei. With a sentence of "serving the country and the people", Long Fei will obey and do whatever he asks.

But this Qin Dabao? It can be seen in the past few days that this is a person who does not follow the common sense. He can't suppress Dabao, and in fact, Dabao doesn't care about him.

Besides, Dabao's uncle is the director of the Municipal Bureau and the fifth-in-command of the department. He cannot afford to offend him. This is what worries Xiaoke the most.

. . . . .

On the platform of Ping An Station, Fan Wu brought his four brothers, Chujiu, Twelve, Seventeen and Xiaogou. They were wearing black patched jackets and had towels around their necks.

Twelve and the puppy were both carrying greasy luggage, while the ninth was carrying a net bag with four aluminum lunch boxes in it. At first glance, others would mistake them for miners going to Datong to dig coal.

The five brothers were orphans adopted by the old man of the Fan family, Fan Weixin. Originally there were seventeen of them, but thirteen of them died in the past twenty years, leaving only four of them, Fan Wu and the others.

Xiao Gou is the descendant of a swordsman. His parents and brothers were killed by enemies. Fan Weixin saved him and avenged him, so Xiao Gou became the killer of the Fan family.

The passengers waiting for the train kept their distance from the five coal miners. When they arrived at the station, they looked like debt collectors with gloomy faces.

The train whistle sounded before it entered the station. A puff of white steam enveloped the entire platform, and the train slowly stopped.

Ping An is a small station with not many passengers getting on and off. The train had to stop for fifteen minutes. There was no other way. The train had many problems at that time, so it had to stop for a little longer so that the maintenance workers from the vehicle depot could check the train from beginning to end.

The train stopped, and two maintenance workers, carrying large bags on their backs and small long-handled hammers in their hands, separated and began to check. The small hammers made a clanging sound on the bottom of the carriage, but no one paid attention to them.

Maintenance workers often have to crawl in and out from under the car, so their bodies are also covered with oil stains and are similar to a few "coal blacks".

A maintenance worker saw Fan Wu and his companions, took out a cigarette, walked up to Fan Wu, and said with a smile: "Comrade, can you lend me a light?"

Fan Wu looked at him, nodded, took out a match from his pocket, struck it, and lit his cigarette.

The maintenance worker whispered, "Is it Lao Wu? The stuff is hidden on top of the toilet in the fifth carriage. The helmsman means that except for the three experts, no one else in the soft sleeper will be left alive. If they really can't take them away..."

The match went out, revealing the maintenance worker's smiling face: "If you can't take them away, kill them all."

Fan Wu murmured a yes, and the maintenance worker handed him an iron key: "This is a special key for the train. It can open all the doors."

The mechanic took out a small hammer and continued to inspect the car. No one noticed their interaction.

Lu Chaosheng walked down and looked forward slowly. When he saw Fan Wu and the others, his eyes and expression showed surprise. He walked over quickly.

"Isn't this the cousin of the Fan family? Why are you here?"

Fan Wu's icy face forced a small smile: "My cousin? I and some fellow villagers are going to Datong to dig coal, and we're worried about how to get on the train. We're too poor to afford tickets."

Lu Chaosheng didn't dare to move forward. These people were too rude. He waved his hand and said, "Follow me."

After that, he led Fan Wu and the others into the fifth carriage managed by Zeng Hongying...

Long Fei, who was staring at Lu Chaosheng from a distance, was carrying a large kettle and walking quickly from the side of the carriage to the rear. He passed by carriage 5 and pretended to turn his head and glance inside through the window.

I saw Lu Chaosheng talking to Zeng Hongying, with the five "coal miners" standing beside him.

Long Fei's heart sank, thinking to himself that this kid had guessed two things right again. One was that there was indeed something wrong with Lu Chaosheng, and the other was that the enemy spy had indeed gotten on the car from Ping An...

Dabao was eating in the private room. Long Fei opened the door, put the kettle on the ground, took off his hat, and asked Dabao: "Did Xiao Ke look for you?"

Dabao ate without raising his head or opening his eyes, swallowing a mouthful of steamed bun: "I did find him, but I ignored him. He said he was the leader of the department and I had to obey his orders, otherwise I would be held responsible. I told him to get out of here as far as possible."

Long Fei laughed. This kid was a typical stubborn person. Xiao Ke still wanted to suppress him? He was dreaming.

"Director Long, this guy named Xiao is not a good person. Stay away from him. The closer you are to people like him, the more likely they are to betray you."

Long Fei's face flushed. He was such a grown man, but he didn't see things as clearly as a child. Dabao was right. Wasn't he an example? He had always thought Xiao Ke and he were good friends, but his girlfriend had been shared, and his position as team leader had been shared as well. If Director Lu hadn't promoted him three levels higher to become a director, he would have always been a joke in the department...
