Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1831 Yang Xiaotao is more suitable than you

When Cuiping's voice sounded, all the men in the room looked over in surprise.

Especially the old man, there was a hint of shock in his eyes.

At this moment, Yu Zecheng saw worry in Cuiping's eyes, but more of it was support, encouragement, and companionship through life and death.

Because they have been through this together and know the harm that thing can cause.

Deep down, I hate things that harm people.

"Commander, I am also a glorious soldier. I have also worked underground. I have ample experience in fighting the enemy."

"Please approve it, Chief."

At this moment, Cuiping's expression was calm but unusually firm.

"Comrade Cuiping, you have already withdrawn."

Director Zeng frowned and immediately refused.

Because this operation was too dangerous, and the other party was not their people, he would not be able to explain if anything went wrong.

Thinking of this, Director Zeng looked at Yu Zecheng, wanting him to speak up and persuade them.

Unexpectedly, a look of struggle appeared in Yu Zecheng's eyes.

Director Zeng now felt something was wrong. This guy wouldn't really let his woman carry out the mission, would he?

Fortunately, this worry is unnecessary.

Yu Zecheng couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart after all.

What was he defending, fighting to the death and without fear of danger?
To put it simply, aren't they just your family?
If you put your family in danger,
Who is he?
"No, this operation is of vital importance. You don't have professional training and it's easy to make mistakes."

"I don't think so. The marks on my body are more consistent with ordinary people than those of a trained person. I think this is completely in line with the requirements."

Cuiping argued with reason, but Yu Zecheng still shook his head and refused to agree.

Cuiping looked at the old man. Here, Yu Zecheng had no say on whether to agree or not.

Seeing this, the old man picked up a cucumber from the side, broke it open and handed a piece to Director Zeng.

"Listen to me first, then make a decision."

Hearing this, Cuiping stepped forward and helped Yu Zecheng sit down.

The old man glanced at Director Zeng, who began to tell the story.

"Last time, Lao Yu went to Shanghai and found out that the other party left underwater after much investigation."

"submarine?"

Yu Zecheng asked and Director Zeng nodded.

Then the room fell silent again.

There are not many countries that have submarines, at least not many that can enter the inland sea at this time.

Everyone knows that it’s not just the people on the other side who are behind this.

"We speculate that the enemy is likely to have united. Otherwise, they would not have used such a method and planned so carefully."

After Director Zeng finished speaking, he continued, "Based on the items left in the house, we traced the source of the items."

"We have already dispatched key personnel from the Yunnan South Branch to handle this matter. You must cooperate when the time comes."

At this point, Yu Zecheng suddenly had an idea, "Commander, I have a suggestion."

"explain."

"I think dogs could be involved in this search."

Yu Zecheng thought of Wangcai’s abnormal ability, which was the same as his master’s.

Then he told the story of Wangcai. Of course, Wangcai's descendants also performed well, just like his Dalong and Xiaolong played an important role in Haojing.

"Yes, that Wangcai in our yard and his family of dogs are very good. They can smell out bad people and good people."

Cuiping also confirmed it from the side.

Director Zeng looked at the old man, who nodded.

“That’s exactly what we’re going to talk about next.”

Director Zeng looked serious.

Yu Zecheng patted Cuiping's hand and told her not to get excited.

"The reason why we formed a joint team is because the other party's goal has not been achieved and we have to continue."

"What is their purpose?"

"Prevent us from developing surface forces."

The old man at the side suddenly spoke up and then explained, "After two failed naval battles, the other side realized the crisis and wanted to destroy our surface construction."

"And one way to sabotage it is to destroy the shipyard."

"Another solution is to eliminate the people who built the ship."

“The key factor in our achievements in these few times was the change in the engine, which gave us a huge advantage.”

"Now, not only in Shanghai, but also in the north, with the support of engines, more than ten speedboats have been successfully modified and have participated in operations in the northern waters many times, achieving very good results."

"The south is also planning to introduce this type of engine, and I believe it will soon become combat-ready."

"In addition, the south is thinking about putting missiles up there. By then, having a high-speed bayonet, combined with missiles, will become an important weapon."

"Tell me, can the other party still sit still in this situation?"

Yu Zecheng shook his head. The northwest, south and north sides exerted their strength together to form a semi-encirclement. Anyone who saw this would be anxious.

"So their joining forces this time gives us the opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop."

After the old man finished speaking, Director Zeng took out a document from his bag and handed it to Yu Zecheng.

"This is our preliminary plan, take a look."

Yu Zecheng took the document and Cuiping took the initiative to walk aside.

After flipping through two pages, Yu Zecheng looked up in surprise, then looked at the old man, "Chief, should we discuss this matter again?"

"This is too dangerous for Comrade Yang Xiaotao."

The plan in the report can be simply summarized in four words.

Lure the snake out of its hole.

Yang Xiaotao was the bait. Through external publicity, it was announced that Yang Xiaotao was designing gas turbines for the shipyard, which aroused the other party's actions and thus caught them all in one fell swoop.

However, in this case, Yang Xiaotao and even his family may be exposed to risks.

Based on his understanding of Yang Xiaotao, the other party would definitely not agree.

The old man shook his head after hearing this, "Do you think this is the news we released?"

"We are just following the tide."

"When Comrade Yang Xiaotao designed the eight-cylinder diesel engine to power ships, the other side had already targeted him."

"Do you think they will let it go?"

"This time, our plan is to lure the snake out of its hole and protect him. Only by sweeping away the snakes, insects, rats and ants hiding behind can their safety be guaranteed."

Hearing this, Yu Zecheng understood.

It’s not that we don’t want Yang Xiaotao to join the game, but Yang Xiaotao is already in the game.

"The chief is right. This is indeed the best way."

Yu Zecheng nodded.

Cui Ping seemed to understand what he said, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Commander, since we are protecting Comrade Yang Xiaotao's family, I must join the action."

"We all live in the same courtyard, and Comrade Yang Xiaotao's wife and I are close friends, so it's easier to protect her."

Yu Zecheng also reacted, "Chief, Director, I agree." Seeing that both of them said so, the old man and Director Zeng did not object.

"Comrade Yu Zecheng, this time is more serious than before."

"Since the enemy's vicious methods can be used in Shanghai, they can naturally be used in this city as well."

"Your mission is serious. You must also beware of the cold arrows from the darkness."

"This joint investigation was also secretly organized, and it was announced to the public that you were still recovering from your injuries and had not taken any action."

"All the comrades who came back with you will be assigned to the investigation team this time. Your actions will be kept confidential."

Director Zeng explained again, Yu Zecheng took a deep breath, and then nodded, "Please rest assured, Chief, we will never make the same mistake again this time, and we will definitely catch those guys."

"it is good."

The old man looked at Director Zeng and then stood up.

"It will take more than a week for the comrades in Shanghai to come up. During this time, you should take good care of your injuries."

"We are waiting for your good news."

After saying that, the two left the ward.

Only Xiao Liu, Yu Zecheng and three others were left in the room.

"director!"

Xiao Liu came over and he could finally talk.

"Xiao Liu, how are the brothers?"

Yu Zecheng sat aside and asked.

"Lao Gui and Qiang Wa from our team are gone. We brought back their ashes and are preparing to bury them tomorrow."

Xiao Liu spoke in a low voice, feeling sad.

They are brothers who depend on each other and have been through thick and thin for many years. I didn’t expect that two of them would die this time.

"I'll give them a ride tomorrow."

Xiao Liu nodded, then shook his head, "Director, you should take good care of your injuries and go see them when you are better."

Yu Zecheng shook his head and said, "It's okay. I know my injuries well."

"I was supposed to be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate tomorrow, so it's a good time to make some preparations in advance."

After hearing this, Xiao Liu did not refute.

"What about the rest?"

"Xiaosun and Zhugan were seriously injured and are still being nursed back to Shanghai. I guess they will have to come with their comrades in Shanghai."

"The others were only slightly injured, nothing serious."

At this point, Xiao Liu stretched out his right hand, on which his ring finger and little finger were missing a section, "I am considered to be fine now."

When Cuiping saw this, her breathing quickened.

This shows how fierce the battle was at that time.

Yu Zecheng was silent for a moment, then said to Xiao Liu, "Go back and take good care of Dalong and Xiaolong first, and then I'll send them back to the yard."

"This time, we're going to do something big."

Seeing Yu Zecheng's attitude, Xiao Liu also cheered up, looking fearless and excited.

"I'll go right away."

After saying that, Xiao Liu turned and left.

Cui Ping laid Yu Zecheng on the bed and asked, "What are you going to tell Yang Xiaotao?"

Yu Zecheng looked out the window at the night, the leaves blowing in the wind, and smiled, "Cui Ping, what kind of person do you think Yang Xiaotao is?"

"what kind of person?"

Cuiping felt a little strange, but she had a very good impression of Yang Xiaotao.

In particular, Yang Xiaotao's love for his family, his respect for Ran Qiuye, and his partiality towards his daughter made her feel that Yang Xiaotao was different from the men of this era.

At least, Yang Xiaotao never beat his wife.

This is the same as Yu Zecheng.

Of course, it also had something to do with the fact that Yu Zecheng couldn’t win.

"He is an excellent comrade at work and a good man in life."

"Yep."

Yu Zecheng laughed, "But you overlooked one thing."

"Which point?"

"Yang Xiaotao is a person with a very strong desire for control."

"Desire for control?"

"Yes, in terms of work, the things he designed were never changed because of other people's comments, and they were all completed under his supervision."

"This shows that he has strong self-confidence and a strong desire for control."

"To put it bluntly, it means controlling your own behavior and thoughts."

Cuiping nodded, then asked, "Isn't this a good idea?"

"Well, this kind of confidence is very good for someone as capable as him."

"So? What exactly do you want to say?"

Cuiping was a little confused and asked Yu Zecheng to reveal the answer quickly.

Yu Zecheng looked calm, and then said softly, "People with a strong desire for control will often eliminate uncontrollable factors."

"Like the current situation, if he knew he was being targeted, his family would be in danger."

"What he wants to do is not to escape, but to fight back."

“Because he’s confident and in control of everything.”

Cui Ping understood a little, then looked at the confident Yu Zecheng beside her, and then laughed softly, "What you said seems to be talking about you as well."

Yu Zecheng was stunned for a moment, then he laughed softly.

"makes sense."

“We are the same kind of people.”

Hahahaha
"Bah, shameless!"

Cuiping said something, and then teased, "She gave birth to three children."

cough cough cough

Yu Zecheng suddenly closed his mouth but was choked by saliva and started coughing continuously.

"Could you please not mention this for now?"

Cui Ping snorted coldly, "Go to sleep at night. I'm going home to look after the stones. They're all a worry to me."

"By the way, I'll discharge you from the hospital tomorrow and wait for you to go home, hehe."

Watching Cuiping leave, Yu Zecheng gave a bitter smile.

Then he looked at the ceiling and recalled what the housekeeper Shen Tao had said about Yang Xiaotao.

'There's nothing this guy can't solve if he's involved.'

'It's as if he can predict everything and find a way out of any difficulty.'

'This guy is more suitable for this job than you.'

A smile appeared on his calm face again, "It's a good opportunity to see if this guy is as he said to you, God!"
