Breaking Through the Clouds

"..." Jiang Ting took a silent breath and asked, "What's the matter?"

Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan just smiled and didn't speak, then raised his hand and threw the phone over.Jiang Ting caught it, and the screen showed that he was in the middle of the call, and the other end of the phone was the king of spades!

"……Hey?"

"Are you at Yunzhongzhai?" Wen Shao was as gentle as ever: "Is it cold?"

As for the K of Spades, as long as he is a normal person with a little sense of sanity, it is impossible to see any real emotions from his expression or tone of voice - because he doesn't have this thing in the first place.He might be talking happily one second, and the next moment he pulled out his gun and pulled the trigger, not to mention the transition, and there was not even the slightest warning.

Jiang Ting said, "Fortunately, it's not cold."

"Tired?"

"Alright."

Wen Shao said, "Then you come up."

Jiang Ting's heart skipped a beat: "What?"

"I miss you." The other end of the call paused, then smiled again: "I want to show you something."

The trace of cold sweat on the back just now seemed to have stopped, and then it turned into an even more unspeakable aura.

Jiang Ting's eyes flickered slightly, and then he hummed and stopped talking, and handed the phone back to Qin Chuan. No one knew how much effort he had to keep his tone calm and calm:

"The boss asked me to go to the trading place with you."

Qin Chuan didn't take it seriously: "Come up."

·

The Humvee climbed over a series of half-person-high mounds, and even the hood trembled under the bumps.Outside the car window, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the rugged rocks whizzed past both sides of the car window, and there was silence in the car except for the roar of driving.

The driver was a confidant appointed by Ajie, and he was obviously well-trained. Apart from occasionally asking Qin Chuan to confirm the route, he never made a single sound.Qin Chuan on the co-pilot folded his arms and stared forward, maintaining this posture from beginning to end, and it was impossible to see any movement from his motionless facial contours.

Jiang Ting was sitting on the back seat like a stone statue. In the dark, he could only see one side of his pale cheek, and the guards on the left and right guarded him eagerly.

No one noticed that he glanced down slightly and landed on the watch of the bodyguard on the right—almost an hour had passed since he sent the route map to the command.

Have the police successfully surrounded the transaction site?

After arriving at Yunzhongzhai, Yan Mao, who took the road to the scene, is he still following far behind at this moment?

"Don't move," the bodyguard on his right suddenly stopped.

Jiang Ting raised his hand in the air and said calmly, "I just want to get that bottle of water."

The bodyguard took out the mineral water bottle behind the passenger seat and unscrewed it.Jiang Ting reached out to take it, but as soon as he moved, he was held down by the other party, and then he personally handed the bottle to Jiang Ting's mouth.

"..."

The air froze inch by inch, and Qin Chuan's eyelids suddenly lifted in the rearview mirror.

——Jiang Ting finally opened his mouth under the tense gaze, and was fed a few sips of water from the bottle, shaking his head to signal no.

The bodyguard then let go of his hand, tightened the bottle cap, and put it back in place.

Under the gaze of the bodyguards, Jiang Ting put his hands on his thighs, and never lifted them up, not even moving his fingers.

In the rearview mirror, Qin Chuan looked away.

On both sides of the dirt road are the same rocks and woods. Silence and jolts made the journey almost endless. After an unknown amount of time, the car suddenly stopped with a loud bang!

Qin Chuan was the first to open the car door and jumped down, vigorously moved his shoulders together, and said loudly: "Hello! We are here!"

Beep, beep, several car horns sounded, and Wang Pengfei's extended off-road motorcade followed one after another and stopped not far away.

Jiang Ting was helped out of the car by the bodyguards. When he looked up, he saw that the place where they parked was about halfway up the mountain. Behind the dense bushes in front of them, there were sporadic lights shining from the high place—it turned out to be a row of sidewalks. A temporary factory complex built by Sando!

"Hey, what a formation." Wang Pengfei stepped forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, sighed with a cigarette in his mouth, "As expected of the big boss of the Golden Triangle, look at the surrounding terrain, even if you have clairvoyance, you can't find it, and The factory buildings built in the mountains are also unambiguous, like serious industrial and mining enterprises - rich, really rich!"

"Thank you," a young male voice said from not far away, "It's just tents."

Jiang Ting turned his head suddenly, and the K of Spades was walking with a few of his men.

Wang Pengfei's eyes lit up, his face was full of eagerness, and he rushed forward to shake hands.But Spade K didn't seem to notice his hospitality, and also ignored the hand in mid-air covered with big emeralds, and just nodded casually to say hello, then walked straight to Jiang Ting, and said with a smile: "You are finally here."

Jiang Ting didn't answer this question, glanced at the bodyguards like black towers on the left and right, and asked straight to the point: "What does this mean?"

"what do you mean?"

Jiang Ting didn't turn around like him: "Have you ever issued a rigid order not to let my hands move more than ten centimeters up and down?"

Wen Shao's expression remained unchanged: "No, it's because they misunderstood." Then he waved his hand to let the bodyguards back away, and then he hugged Jiang Ting's shoulders, as if he had a good relationship, and pulled him up the hillside .

Wang Pengfei hurriedly chased after him: "Hey, let me tell you, that batch of 'Blue Gold' goods—"

Wen Shao didn't turn his head back.

Wang Pengfei didn't mind either, and panted behind him: "We have prepared the offshore account according to what you said. As long as the goods are inspected here, the money can be remitted immediately by calling there! The price is good. Discuss, there is no need to give the discount we agreed before, or I will add this amount to you again—how about it?"

Wang Pengfei struggled to support the ground with one hand, and stretched his stubby five fingers with the other to draw a number.

"Oh?" Wen Shao laughed, "Why?"

"Hey! Isn't this business getting bigger and bigger, and the supply can no longer be supplied by purchasing goods alone!" Wang Pengfei was supported by others, and climbed up the hill out of breath: "I think this factory building is good, anyway. You don’t plan to continue your production line in the Southwest, why don’t you give this mountain to my little brother as a bonus after our deal is completed, okay?”

Wen Shao was noncommittal, pointing to the lush mountains in front of him: "This mountain?"

Wang Pengfei nodded vigorously.

"Okay."

The person surnamed Wang never expected Spade K to agree so casually, and was overjoyed.

However, before he had time to smile, he just listened to Spade K and asked with a smile: "But the Constitution stipulates the integrity and indivisibility of the country's territory. The mountainous area in front of you belongs to the People's Republic of China, not to me. How can I give it to you?" Woolen cloth?"

Wang Pengfei: "..."

All the people surnamed Wang had wonderful expressions on their faces. If Lao Cai hadn't followed behind and pushed, Wang Pengfei would have fallen off the hillside.

Wen Shao looked at Jiang Ting with a smile, his eyes sparkling.

Jiang Ting was held tightly by his side with one arm, just like the way when he came here, countless people stared at him even when he raised his hand.But he didn't seem to mind the silent shackles, he just smiled into Wen Shao's gaze: "What do you want to show me?"

"Are you in a hurry?" Wen Shao asked without answering.

Jiang Ting said, "No hurry."

Wen Shao raised his chin forward: "Then you have seen it?"

At this time, they had already climbed up the steep slope, and in front of them was a vast open space halfway up the mountain, and the temporary factory area was close at hand.

It is obviously impossible to build masonry concrete buildings in the deep mountains and old forests. The warehouse is built with high-strength aluminum alloy frames and reinforced PVC tarpaulins. Although it is still a bit rough, compared with most simple drug workshops hidden in mountainous areas, This is already a model of fairly stable and safe production.In particular, the outer layer of the tarpaulin and the foundation track painted in dark green are mixed with the green mountains and plains from a distance, and it is difficult to find clues even with aerial photography.

"did you see it?

No one knew what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, Jiang Ting nodded hesitantly.

"Well, this is it." Wen Shao smiled and waved: "——Qin Chuan."

Qin Chuan stepped forward and only listened to his instructions: "Ajie is waiting for you inside with someone. You go in with Boss Wang to test the samples first, and we'll talk about the big ones when I come back."

Wang Pengfei immediately forgot the fooling he had just suffered: "Hey, where are you going?"

Wen Shao patted Jiang Ting's shoulder, and said casually, "I haven't seen my brother for a long time, let's smoke a cigarette and chat about our feelings." He stopped by the river, turned around and walked away.

"..." Wang Pengfei stared at his handsome back in a daze, feeling that the legendary drug lord was just thinking about it, completely elusive as if he was out of his mind.But in their line of business, a second-rate dealer without production capacity is under the control of others. As long as the goods are in the hands of Spade King, even if he is really mentally ill, he can't help it, so he can only say "Hey——?!" angrily.

Qin Chuan was used to it long ago, took the key to open the warehouse door, and said with a smile, "Please, Boss Wang."

·

In front of the distant factory area, Wang Pengfei and his party followed Qin Chuan and filed in, and then vaguely saw that the warehouse door was closed.At the same time, the two backs that were close together walked in another direction and gradually disappeared into the telescope.

"Report to the command vehicle, this is the observation point of Hole A[-]." On the canopy [-] meters away, the special police pointed at the headset extremely slightly: "The buyer has entered the transaction site, but the main target walked out of the observation point with 'nails' range, and its intention cannot be discerned at present, what should I do?"

Inside the command vehicle, leaders at all levels from the province to the county raised their heads at the same time.

There was the sound of the engine shutting down outside the car, and before a camouflaged forest police car had stopped, Yan Mao, who had hurried over from Yunzhongzhai, jumped down holding the walkie-talkie, and got into the command car wrapped in the cold wind. There was a frown on Lu Ju's face.

"How is this..."

Deputy Director Wei immediately gestured for silence, interrupting Yan Mao's unspoken question.

"..." Director Lu pondered for two seconds in the treacherous and tense atmosphere, and said decisively, "Keep observing and don't act."

"Yes!"

Director Lu put down his earphones, and only then did he have the time to turn to Yan Yan: "I'm looking for you, what's going on? Why didn't Team Jiang stay in the village, and came to the trading site with Wang Pengfei and his party?"

"do not know."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, but Yan Mao looked unusually calm.

"...you don't know?" Director Lu repeated unexpectedly, and stretched out his hand: "Give me the communication channel with Team Jiang."

·

Jiang Ting took the cigarette, took a few puffs, threw it on the ground and stomped it out, his feet making a slight rustling sound on the rotting dead leaves.

"You sell one after another, I can't guess at all, you really want to do business with Wang Pengfei so much?" Jiang Ting pressed Wen Shao's hand on his shoulder, trying to move it away: "There is no one here. , stop pretending to be a brother."

Unexpectedly, Wen Shao not only did not let go, but even hugged him even tighter: "Jiang Ting."

"..."

"If those things didn't happen three years ago, what's the relationship between us today?"

Almost head to head, they walked side by side through the blue-gray forest under the sky. The edge of the steep slope in front of them sank suddenly, forming a sharp gap, connecting the valley covered by vegetation behind the mountain.

It was already some distance away from the factory building, but it was not far from the hillside where they parked and climbed up just now. You could even vaguely see the convoy of Wang Pengfei and his group parked downhill.

Wen Shao stopped and looked at him closely.

"...It's no different from now, isn't it?" Jiang Ting's response was very flat, and then he asked, "Did we say that we won't talk about what happened three years ago?"

Wen Shao didn't seem to hear, "Then what if I asked you to pull the lifeline first when we fell into the valley together more than 20 years ago?"

They looked at each other, and the distance was extremely close. Even the past that had been buried in the deepest part of memory was pulled out and spread out in broad daylight. No details could be hidden.

However, at this moment, no one can see the turbulent undercurrent under the water.

The morning star in the midsummer evening, and the vast sea of ​​city lights in the distance, all gradually appear as mirages from the end of the horizon, and then blow through the rice fields, wrapped in the evening wind, and come blowing in one go.

"I don't know, Wen Shao." Jiang Ting replied hoarsely after a long time, "Maybe it will be different, but that was a long time ago...it doesn't make sense to mention it again."

Wen Shao looked at him for a long time, and finally took back the hands that had been firmly around Jiang Ting's shoulders, and folded them in front of him.

Just by looking at his hands, it is hard to imagine that he is a drug dealer. His slender fingers and calluses formed by the bow, as well as his restrained temperament, are obviously more like a performer - this was once a puzzle that puzzled Jiang Ting .

Why can he do this?

The bloody arrow that the village doctor stabbed into his throat with a pencil, the distorted and charred corpse of a Burmese monk after being burned, the depression and despair of an entire AIDS village on the border... the stench of countless corpses decaying, and the accumulation of countless resentments The sins of the crimes seem to have no effect on the culprit.

Is it really like the old saying that mortals have committed the most crimes, but they can live a long life instead?

The so-called axioms and justice that countless people insist on have become too ridiculous.

"Don't move," Wen Shao said softly to stop him suddenly, Jiang Ting paused as soon as he moved his hand: "Let me take a good look at you."

Jiang Ting's pupils were trembling, but it was hard to detect, and his right hand drooped down.

"When the youth is gone, the youth is gone; there is nothing left, and the body is covered with bruises... Will you still love me until the end of time?"

At first Jiang Ting thought that Wen Shao was asking a question, but then he realized that the singing-like tone was actually just talking to himself.

"Oh, I'm not asking you, I'm asking myself." Wen Shao seemed to see through what he was thinking, smiled and said, "During the three years when you were in a coma, I often had this question, especially in the middle of the night, when I When I stood by the hospital bed and stared at you."

Fortunately, it was Jiang Ting, if it were someone else, he might already be too terrified to stand up:

"What about the answer?"

"No solution. Because I can't imagine it." Wen Shao suddenly changed the subject, and asked with a smile: "Do you know what the most profound image of you is in my memory?"

"..."

"It was the year when I just developed the molecular formula of a new type of fentanyl compound in the United States, and I was going to take it back to China and Myanmar. One day, I was so bored that someone sent a photo of you to see. It was a candid photo. You are Walking out of the Gongzhou Municipal Bureau, holding the police uniform jacket in one hand, the cuffs of the shirt rolled up on the arm, and the police rank on the shoulder; you strode down the steps of the detachment building, and the whole posture was very lean and neat, as if nothing could hold you back Stop for a moment, or look back."

"I don't know what made that photo remain in my memory until now. No matter how many things happened later, no matter how many people you killed, I can't erase the attitude of Captain Jiang from my perception."

Wen Shao narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.

Jiang Ting looked past him, looking down the hillside in the distance, his face suddenly changed——

"So I can't get the answer to this question from the bottom of my heart, because I can't imagine that you are no longer young and brilliant... As long as you exist here, for me," Wen Shao slowly took half a step away : "It will always be the policeman who wants to arrest me."

——As he backed away, the scene under the hillside was fully revealed.

Ajie was leading some of his men across the open space, approaching the convoy of Wang Pengfei's group.Seeing that the situation was not right, the two boys who stayed in the car on the lookout rushed down, and before they had time to ask for warnings loudly, they were shot and killed by Ajie one by one.

Immediately, his subordinates dragged the corpse away, forcibly pried off the fuel tank cap, and stretched several long conduits into the fuel tank of each vehicle—it was the oil pump!

"They don't need this anymore," Wen Shao said relaxedly.

Jiang Ting's heart brightened instantly, and he raised his hand subconsciously, as if he was going to touch his right ear——immediately his wrist was grabbed, and Wen Shao asked, "What? Want to send a signal to the police?"

Jiang Ting turned around like lightning, and Wen Shao "cracked!" and grabbed his ankle.The next moment, the wind roared at his face, Jiang Ting leaped into the air with his strength, Wen Shao's upper body leaned back, barely avoiding this fierce and precise blow!

There was no sign of the change, Jiang Ting cursed silently on the ground, and then there was a huge force coming from behind.Wen Shao pressed his back against the tree trunk heavily, twisted his elbows, and said softly against his side: "I want to take it off with my own hands, but I don't want to handcuff you all the way in front of them. Here, so people can only watch you closely, and don't let you have a chance to move it..."

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Jiang Ting cursed.

Wen Shao was slightly surprised, and then laughed: "I really don't cry when I see the coffin. All right, then I'll come and say hello to the Yan detachment." He maintained this overall suppressed posture, twisting Jiang Ting's arm with one hand like iron pliers Elbow, the other hand reaches for his right ear—

Inside the pinna, that's where the button communicator is attached!
