Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Chapter 432: Convening

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed, and it was the beginning of spring in 1968.

Zhao Cheng was also unemployed at home for a year. During this year, Zhao Cheng went to the house of Hou Polan almost every week, chatting with Hou Polan and Pian Ye, and taking away some antiques, calligraphy and paintings that they had collected for him.

This year, Zhao Chenghua sold over twenty small yellow croakers and two large yellow croakers, in exchange for a pile of broken tables and chairs, pickle jars, vases, and other items.

By the new century, it will probably be sold for several hundred million, and the family will have achieved financial freedom. By then, they can buy a few more courtyard houses, which will be enough.

During this year, Zhao Cheng went to the border twice, staying for about a month each time to accompany Ye Juan and see how the third brother Zhao Weijun was doing.

Ye Juan's son, Ye Weiqing, is already over one year old and has just learned to walk. He is very cute as he takes one step at a time. Ye Juan usually brings her child to work and asks the office teacher to help look after him.

Ye Juan now has only two classes a day, which will pass quickly. After Zhao Cheng arrives, she will be taught by Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng also suggested that the child go back to Peking with him, but Ye Juan was reluctant to let him go, so she had to work harder. Fortunately, the child was young and easy to coax, so it didn't take much trouble.

Tian Dan returned to work after her confinement. She was still working as the logistics director, and her daily work was quite easy. She couldn't give up the little power she held, or else she would be affected.

At noon that day, Zhao Cheng was sitting at home drinking tea when there was a knock on the door. Zhao Cheng got up and opened the door, and saw Long Chenggong standing at the door in military uniform.

"Hey, isn't this Captain Long? How come you have time to come to my place?" Zhao Cheng smiled and brought Long Chenggong into the yard.

"Instructor, I have no choice. I really have no one else, so I can only come to you for help!" Long Chenggong felt very embarrassed when facing Zhao Cheng's teasing, but he had to come.

"Tell me, it must be no small matter for Captain Long to come to our door in person!" Zhao Cheng said.

"Instructor, one of our teams that went out on a mission is missing! In the Southern Pearl!" Long Chenggong said with a grim expression.

"What mission? Why are people missing?" Zhao Cheng stood up from his chair and asked seriously.

"We went to bring some things back to China, but we mainly protected them secretly. Because the things were so important, we transported them to the Southern Pearl after some twists and turns. But after getting ashore, our people suddenly lost contact during the protection, and both the people and the things were gone!" Long Chenggong didn't expect that his car would overturn in such a place.

"When did this happen?"

"The liaison officer over there activated the emergency radio and informed us of the situation. Something happened to our people yesterday afternoon!" Long Chenggong said.

"So you mean you want me to go there?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"Yes, because you are the only one capable of going there now. I estimate that they may have been taken into the opposite military camp. If we want to rescue them without anyone knowing, I guess you are the only one who can do it!" Long Chenggong's face was full of pleading.

The team that disappeared this time was trained by him personally, and there were promising young people in it. It would be a pity if they failed at the very beginning!

"You just know how to cause trouble for me! How can I get through?" Zhao Cheng said helplessly.

"The plane is already waiting at the airport, but I guess you may have to swim a distance in the sea! Or go from an outlying island!" Long Chenggong felt a little embarrassed.

Asking the instructor for help, he needed to parachute and swim, and then fight. This was not an easy job!

Zhao Cheng rolled his eyes. He didn't believe he could get through the outlying island. He probably only had one informant left. It was best not to let anyone know about his past!

"Wait a moment, I'll give him some instructions and then we'll go!" said Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng entered the inner courtyard, gave Xiuzhi some instructions, put on casual clothes and set off.

The two arrived at the airport and boarded a transport plane directly.

"Instructor, this is the map over there. There is also a map of the military camp, but only the visible part. The marked place on the map may be the secret room of the military camp. Our people can only be detained there!" Long Chenggong handed Zhao Cheng a map with a route from the beach to the military camp, and the deployment of the military camp.

"You have done a lot of preparation? Even this is ready?" Zhao Cheng looked at Long Chenggong with sidelong eyes.

"Hehe, instructor, this is not our credit. It's the credit of my sister-in-law and her team. How long have we been established? How could we have such detailed information!" Long Chenggong responded with a smile.

"Does the higher-ups know about this incident?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"Deputy Commander Zhou knows, and it was he who suggested that I come to you. He said that this matter would be easy for you, and if we continue to send people over, there might be greater losses. We still have a big gap with you in our experience in special operations!" Long Chenggong said.

"What? Do you think I haven't taught you everything? Or that I've kept some tricks up my sleeve?" Zhao Cheng looked at Long Chenggong with a half-smile.

"How could that be? Doesn't the instructor have more combat experience than us? Deputy Commander Zhou's original words were that the instructor is more shameless and more erratic in combat, unlike us. Although we have also learned a lot of combat skills, the gap between us and the instructor in terms of application is still too big!" Long Chenggong said sincerely.

"Do you believe me if I give you a big bag? What do you mean I am more shameless in fighting?" Zhao Cheng said.

"That's not what I said, that's what Deputy Commander Zhou said! If you have the ability, go give Deputy Commander Zhou a big slap. How can you bully me?" Long Chenggong said with his lips trembling.

"You let Deputy Commander Zhou come in front of me. Do you think I dare? Do you think I'm like you? Afraid of this and that?" Zhao Cheng said disdainfully.

"Bullshit!" Long Chenggong whispered.

"By the way, who is in this team? Have you analyzed the reasons for the failure?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"Tie Zhenguo, Zhang Meng, Liu Jinshui, and Hu Zhigang! A standard four-man combat team! This isn't their first mission, but they must have encountered some special circumstances this time, so they had to give up resistance! Anyway, I don't believe they have any suspicion of surrendering to the enemy!" Long Chenggong said gritting his teeth.

"Who would accuse them of such a crime? Isn't this nonsense?" Zhao Cheng was very surprised.

"It's still those people from Gwei! They have been looking for something to hold against our team, but unfortunately we are a confidential unit and there are many things they can't find out! So they got the chance this time!" Long Chenggong said helplessly.
