April 23, 1977, Saturday, 13:00 sharp.

Hong Yanwu stood in front of the gate of Gao Ming's house on time.

He came to the appointment today because Gao Ming found him yesterday and said that the deputy director Gao already knew everything and wanted to formally meet with him about the photos to work out the conditions for resolving the matter. Talk.

To be honest, Hong Yanwu was a little surprised that Gao Ming surrendered so quickly. He originally thought that this kid would have to hesitate in fear for a few days, and maybe he would think of causing him more trouble.

In fact, he had long been prepared to punish this kid again, but he didn't expect that because the trouble he caused had the effect of boosting his reputation, he didn't get any extra fun at all.

However, he does not reject this outcome. Because in his opinion, this matter has reached this point and is basically approaching the end of the plot.

According to his script, the Gao family and his son probably have no other better choice except to compromise with him and beg him to show his favor. The only remaining suspense is how much price they can pay after meeting.

It’s just as the saying goes, if you don’t have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. Just in case, it is always best to make some necessary arrangements before negotiating. So last night, Hong Yanwu confessed the matter to Chen Liquan from beginning to end.

After Chen Liquan found out everything, while he praised Hong Yanwu's skills and felt relieved, he was also a little depressed and dissatisfied. It wasn't that he cared about anything else, he still felt that Hong Yanwu kept him in the dark and took this risk alone, so he didn't treat him as a buddy.

For this reason, Hong Yanwu had to patiently explain for a long time, and finally calmed down Chen Liquan's emotions by saying "you can't put your eggs in one basket" and "you must always have a backup plan."

After that, Hong Yanwu solemnly entrusted Chen Liquan with two things. One is where the film is hidden. The second is the 1,400 yuan that they haven't delivered to "Bacha" yet.

Hong Yanwu asked Chen Liquan to promise him that if anything happened, he would pretend to have no knowledge of it. Because one of them must stay out of the incident safely before they can get the remaining money to treat their father. Only in this way can those photos be exposed and give a fatal counterattack to the enemies who made stupid decisions.

Of course, Chen Liquan would never refuse any request from Hong Yanwu. But his heart was full of uneasiness because of Hong Yanwu's arrangement. So much so that today he would rather ask for leave and miss work than come with him. Even if he couldn't go in with Hong Yanwu, he would still stand on the other side of the road.

Hong Yanwu's attempts to dissuade him did not work. Then there was no other way. After receiving Chen Liquan's repeated assurance that even if he saw him being taken away, he would not be involved, he had no choice but to let him do what he wanted.

So, it was under Chen Liquan's eager and worried attention that he just walked into the "Third General Staff Office" compound guarded by armed guards.

"Ding dong!"

As the doorbell rang, the door to the Gao family soon opened. There was a middle-aged woman standing behind the door.

Although Gao Ming's father is a cadre, his level is far from high enough to hire a nanny, not to mention that today we are talking about such a sensitive matter. So Hong Yanwu immediately thought that in front of him was Gao Ming's mother.

"Hello."

"You are..."

Hong Yanwu nodded quite calmly. it is more than words.

Exactly what he thought, Gao Ming's mother's expression was both embarrassed and panicked at the moment. He actually understood the reason and took the initiative to step through the door.

Sure enough, Gao Ming's mother quickly closed the door, but then her eyes showed a trace of disgust uncontrollably.

This is also normal. As a mother, when faced with someone who plots against her son, no matter how good-tempered she is, she will not greet him with a smile like when entertaining guests. He must be persona non grata here.

"Come with me, Director Gao is waiting for you."

With just a simple sentence, Gao Ming's mother turned around and led Hong Yanwu to a room.

In fact, this was the first time Hong Yanwu came to Gao Ming's home. He had never met Gao Ming's parents in his previous life, so he was unfamiliar with everything here. But even while observing intently, he still couldn't help but smile disdainfully when he heard this way of address.

In a family, the husband and wife actually use their positions to commensurate with each other. This undoubtedly shows a deep-rooted value concept.

Gao Ming and Gao Fang seemed to be neither at home. Hong Yanwu only saw their father in the room he entered. He was a man with a somewhat fat belly. Although he was wearing a military uniform, he did not look heroic. Instead, he looked a bit like a soft bagel.

However, other things in the room made Hong Yanwu a little more alert. Because after entering the house, he discovered that he had walked into a large study room.

There is a desk, a sofa, and a lot of books on the bookcases. In this era, few people buy books to show their respect. This scene undoubtedly shows that the owner is a very hospitable and knowledgeable person. Based on his experience, educated people are often much more difficult to deal with than ordinary people if they want to play tricks on them.

Facts have fully proved this point, because Gao Ming's father was full of smiles towards him, and his attitude was extremely gentle and generous. Not only was he not angry at all, but he even asked his ugly-looking wife to get some tea, and took the initiative to take out the cigarettes and asked him if he smoked.

Abnormal, absolutely abnormal!

Because this kind of smile is not the kind of fawning that comes from fear or fear. It is a kind of calm and confident expression.

If this master wasn’t a smiling tiger, he would have seen a ghost!

Hong Yanwu is completely cautious now. In his previous life, he had many dealings with people in the officialdom. He knows that the more kindly these officials are, the more they have a good heart. So he was very sure that this old boy would definitely play tricks on him.

Okay, let's see what tricks you want to play.

Hong Yanwu was calm on the surface, but he was solemn in his heart. So he neither drinks water nor smokes. He just sat down silently, waiting for Deputy Director Gao to say more.

Seeing that Hong Yanwu was not moving, Deputy Director Gao had no choice but to pick up a cigarette from the coffee table and smoke it. He puffed on the cigarette and finally got down to business.

"Your name is Hong Yanwu?... Little comrade, I invited you here today mainly to resolve the conflict between you and my two sons. Please speak openly if you have any ideas!"

Sure enough, this is what the officialdom is like. First of all, you should act magnanimous and want me to explain the problem like a criminal. Finally, you judge from a superior position.

Hmph, once a person has finished saying what he wants to say, there will be no stamina left. Is that what you had in mind?

"Interesting. Don't you still know what happened? On the contrary, I don't think it is necessary to delve deeper into what happened. I came today just to get a result, not to tell you a story. ”

Hong Yanwu felt disgusted in his heart, so he simply stopped using the honorific and blocked the other party's words.

The unceremonious and arrogant attitude immediately shocked Gao Ming's mother. She stood nearby with her mouth wide open, as if it was the first time she saw someone dare to be so disrespectful to her husband.

The atmosphere was a little tense for a while.

Deputy Director Gao was also somewhat unexpected. However, he may have felt that with Gao Ming's mother present, Hong Yanwu was in a situation where there were few against many, so he was wary. So he stood up and whispered a few words to his wife, walked her out of the room, closed the door tightly, and then sat back down to continue persuading her.

"Ahem, little comrade, don't be too angry! No one will bother you now, there are only two of us here. You can throw away your worries and speak out everything in your heart. Only by talking through the problem can we Let's solve the problem. Don't worry, as long as what you say is true, I will never protect my son and will definitely give you justice. In fact, I just want to know more about the situation. After all, what they said about my son is quite serious. One-sided. For example, how did your conflict begin? How did you come up with this extraordinary way of revenge? Also, how did the two of them suddenly fall asleep at that time... Of course , some of which are just to satisfy my own curiosity, you don’t need to worry about it. ”

When Deputy Director Gao finished speaking, he smiled generously and deliberately looked like he was harmless to humans and animals. But Hong Yanwu felt that something was wrong even more, and he had a vague feeling that he was being tricked into confessing. This scene was so similar to some situations he had experienced in the past that he couldn't help but make some associations.

"What exactly do you want me to say? Are you saying that your two sons are misbehaving outside, brazenly fighting, slapping their wives, and washing Buddhas? Or are you saying that they are relying on you as an official father to promise benefits to others? You deceive others into being driven by them, and in the end they get into trouble, and then you have others go to labor camps and jackpots for them! Do you like to hear these things? Your hobbies are too strange!"

Hong Yanwu's sarcasm was like a slap in the face to Deputy Director Gao, and his face twisted on the spot. But then he took a deep breath, regained his composure, and acted like an elder being tolerant to an ignorant junior.

"In fact, I completely understand your mood, even better than you understand. You are angry in your heart. It is inevitable to be so extreme. In fact, according to my original intention, I don't want my children to become like this. But it's a pity that we are in a chaotic era and I am too busy at work. It may be because of these combined reasons that I neglected to discipline them, causing them to let themselves go and make many mistakes. As a father, I not only want to apologize to you on their behalf, but also want to learn more about the situation from your mouth that they don’t know.”

Then, Deputy Director Gao cleverly linked Hong Yanwu’s complaints just now to his plan to be loud and unrestrained, saying that he acted so uncoolly and did not seem to be able to come up with such a thorough idea. When the strategist comes, will there be others to give guidance later? Hahaha.

Hong Yanwu immediately felt that Deputy Director Gao had brought the topic to the same place again. This guy is extremely sophisticated. Behind his smile, there is a kind of persistence that will not give up until the goal is achieved.

But why is this? Why did he insist on hearing himself describe the specific incident?

While thinking about this issue, Hong Yanwu suddenly had an idea and thought of a possibility!

This made him immediately realize that this warm and comfortable room might be full of cold and murderous intent!
