Three years later.
Hongcheng International Airport.
Chen Chuan and Lao Geng hurried out of the terminal and jumped into Wang Beifeng's business car.
Wang Beifeng was overjoyed, but he yelled, "Hey, what's going on? Chen Chuan, why are you so dark? How can I touch you when the lights are turned off?"
"Why are you touching me?" Chen Chuan felt nauseous, showing two rows of disgusted teeth, "Hooligan!"
Wang Beifeng laughed loudly and asked, "Where's Cheng'er?"
"Behind." Chen Chuan pointed.
Sure enough, seeing Cheng Ji running here with three or four bags bigger than a person, Wang Beifeng heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, this guy is still handsome!"
"He is very strange, he can't get tanned!" Chen Chuan complained, "It was hard to get red and sunburned, and the skin peeled off, and I cried in pain. I do not like!"
Wang Beifeng squinted: "Qi Beisong likes it, but you don't, who are you?"
Old Geng asked, "Hey, Wang Beifeng, has Mr. Qi improved recently?"
Wang Beifeng said it was pretty good, he could eat and sleep, he was stronger than before, and he was almost on par with Lao Lei.
"Tsk!" Lao Geng said, "You know what I'm asking!"
"It hasn't improved." Wang Beifeng said.
While speaking, Cheng Ji had already gotten into the car, and affectionately hugged Wang Beifeng's neck from behind: "Beifeng!!"
Wang Beifeng was full of joy, and patted his arm: "Cheng'er!!"
Cheng Jixu muttered: "Hongcheng Airport is getting stricter and stricter, so I brought some food, and I was not allowed to go out, but I confiscated it all!"
"Those meat products are not allowed to be brought in. You were confiscated at the airport last time. Can you take chances?" Chen Chuan said.
"It's delicious!" Cheng Ji was aggrieved.
Old Geng quickly said: "It's okay, I'll make it for you when I go back home, I've already mastered all the secret techniques of pickling!"
Chen Chuan took out a cigarette from Wang Beifeng's pocket and handed it out to everyone: "Come on, comrades, smoke a cigarette of the nostalgia of the motherland. Now we will really enjoy peace forever and never have to go back to country R! Years, more than 1000 days and nights, it’s not easy!”
Old Geng said, "That's right, I almost want to find a wife over there."
Cheng Ji gave him a punch with a smile, and he immediately changed his words and said that he would not look for it, and would never find a foreign godmother for you, in case of language barriers and cultural barriers, he would not be able to help you take care of the children.
Wang Beifeng asked, "Where are you going first?"
The other three exchanged glances, and Cheng Ji said, "Unit."
He didn't keep the promise.
The appointment time between him and Zheng and Lei was only half a year. In fact, he stayed in Country R for three full years.
After three months of rigorous training in the SWAT team, he, Lao Geng, and Chen Chuan boarded an international flight to country K as tourists, and then traveled by land for five days to enter country R, which was in turmoil.
A few years ago, one month after the full-scale civil war broke out in R, the evacuation of overseas Chinese in our country was completed. In principle, our citizens are no longer allowed to go to this country.Because once their lives are threatened and they ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for help, should they be saved or not?
If you don't save them, you're just watching them die.To save is to risk the blood and lives of soldiers.
But there are still people stranded in country R, some have already left their country of nationality, some are mercenaries themselves, some want to make war fortune, some—such as Shen Zimo—are fugitives, and some are fugitive pursuers, such as Cheng Several.
In short, they are all outlaws, some people who are bold and reckless, who control their own life and death, and who can't ask the authorities for help.
Accompanying Cheng Ji and the others to enter country R were two intelligence personnel who had been contacted in advance, their identities were not easy to speculate, and Captain Xu had also instructed not to ask too many questions.
We all come together for the same goal. It is affection for others to help, and it is polite not to inquire about yourself.
There are many hills in country R, and swords are on the verge of breaking out, but Cheng Ji and the others entered smoothly, without any danger.It can be seen that during the three months of their training, someone has already set up a bridge in Country R and paved the way for them.
Some organizations are like this. They say they don’t care about it, but they still care about their mother’s heart in private.
After arriving in a relatively peaceful big city, the guide and two helpers hired by country R came to report, and the small team of mercenaries bought by Zheng Haiping also joined at the same time, and the group settled in country R very low-key.
Afterwards, I searched and tracked constantly, pressing every step of the way. Many things I have done cannot be brought to the table, but what is certain is that the effect is remarkable.
The hiding places of Shen Zimo and the two leaders of the criminal group were soon exposed, and they were forced to move constantly, living without peace.
They did hire private armed forces, but so what?Anyway, the purpose of Cheng Ji and the others is not to confront head-on, but to harass them endlessly, throwing cold shots from time to time to show that "you are still under my nose".
Cheng Ji often tried to fuck Shen Zimo with a sniper rifle. Anyway, he would do it once when he met him. Of course, the chances were not many. Shen Zimo was like a tolerant snake, and he rarely showed up for a few seconds.
Cheng Ji's shooting level is called "absolutely fast, generally accurate", so he wasted several opportunities and was often buried by the snipers he hired.
However, that one is also a parallel importer, a foreign civilian version, without the magical skill of a headshot, and can only scare idiots.Cheng Ji and him are not the same, often laughing at fifty steps.
Of course, it was not these two who killed Shen Zimo and the others in the end, but the fugitives themselves.
Let's talk about the boss of the criminal group first.
He was also a master in Hongcheng, but after arriving in country R, he became a bum for foreigners, kneeling every day to beg the protection of those armed leaders.
Because of the pursuit of Cheng Ji and others, he only needed to support a few militiamen, and he raised [-] armed forces. He had to eat and drink every day.
Isn't the reason why the boss took such risks in Hongcheng because he likes money?Now he is going to sit and eat.
He regretted it so much that he wanted to leave country R, but he couldn't leave.
The reason is very simple. One is that the armed leaders he has taken refuge in have held on to his cash cow, and in fact have held them hostage in turn.The second is that Cheng Ji and others are guarding outside, and they will be beaten if they show their heads.
Let's talk about the second child of the criminal group, the son of the boss.
This kid was so powerful in the country, but when he arrived in Country R, he was forced to hide in the dark like a mouse. He didn't dare to go out during the day, he didn't dare to turn on the lights at night, and he didn't even dare to approach the window for ventilation!
Although country R is in war, the religious customs of various sects have not been lost. Prohibition on alcohol and sex is a doctrine.That young master has no alcohol and no women, but enough drugs, he is already going crazy.
The young master drank in private, and finally indulged himself and drank too much. After drinking, he made trouble and stepped on other people's Bodhisattvas to play. He hurt the simple and friendly feelings of the people of R country, and was shot by a devout believer who had tolerated him for a long time. dry over.
The boss of the group wanted to avenge his son, but the other party raised his hand and shot him again, and he also threw himself into the street.
Cheng Ji and the others watched the father and son being blown into gorgeous fireworks through binoculars, and only had time to shout: "RPG!" (Rocket Propelled Grenade, rocket launcher), and then they were speechless again.
At this time, it was almost four months before they landed in Country R. In other words, with the addition of three months of training, the half-year period agreed by Cheng Ji and the Qi family had just passed. No one would believe that it was not due to the arrangement of fate, but that there were not enough hardships in it. with outsiders.
After the death of the father and son, the leader of the criminal group, Shen Zimo saw that the situation was over, so he came out and surrendered to Cheng Ji.
Old Geng pounced on him, tied him up like a rice dumpling and threw him on the ground.
Cheng Jizhen didn't want to say a word to this lunatic, but Shen Zimo asked paranoidly: "Cheng Cheng, have you ever loved me?"
Cheng Ji replied decisively: "No."
"Not at all?" Shen Zimo asked.
"No!" Cheng Ji was impatient.
"why?"
"do not love!"
"What's wrong with me?" Shen Zimo said, "If I didn't do these things, what's wrong with me?"
"If you don't love, you don't love!" Cheng Ji said.
Shen Zimo sighed, suddenly his eyes flickered with madness and joy, "I can't get the one I love, and neither can you, Qi Beisong is dead!"
He hissed and laughed so badly that Cheng Ji knocked him out with the butt of his gun.
"Qi Beisong is still alive." Cheng Ji gritted his teeth and said, "You idiot, I have already got him, and he will be my man for the rest of his life!"
Chen Chuan knocked on the CP beside him: "Tsk tsk, this is such a beautiful love..."
A week later, the tracking team disbanded at the border of country R, and Cheng Ji, Chen Chuan and Lao Geng escorted Shen Zimo back to China through special channels, still as tourists.
The domestic case has been closed, the murderers have been arrested one by one, and the trial is also scheduled.It's just that there are too many files, and the real trial may have to wait another year or a half.
Shen Zimo was handed over to the police and imprisoned, awaiting investigation and trial.
After the matter was over, Cheng Ji and Lao Geng went to the grave of the deceased to express their condolences, and then they were busy helping Ms. Cheng to be buried (eventually buried in Huangcun Cemetery), and repairing the old house for leaks. They were really busy for a few days.
Later, Cheng Ji wanted to pack up and go to country M to visit Qi Beisong, but was stopped by a call from Captain Xu of the special police detachment.
Captain Xu said: "Come here, we have held a small-scale induction ceremony for you."
Cheng Ji asked, "What?"
Captain Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What kind of memory do you guys have? You actually forgot what you asked for?"
Cheng Ji mentioned that if he can return safely from country R, he would like to change to a special recruitment spot.
Now he's switched.
Special Police Officer Cheng was 20 years old and joined the commando team, along with Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan retired soldier, his own conditions are enough.But Cheng Ji has neither a background in military service nor a national-level athlete, so there is one hard indicator that is not enough--education, he is equivalent to a high school graduate!
So Cheng Ji had two choices, either to go back to K Polytechnic to finish college and come back to work; or to join the job first and take the self-examination later.
Encouraged by Lao Geng, he actively returned to school, and only then did he realize that his original master was studying automation, and he was able to rank in the top three of the most difficult majors in engineering, so his confidence in life was stifled after a high math class.
Later, he took physics class, what electricity, what magnetism, what force, what fluid... When he came back from get out of class, he needed psychological treatment. He lay on the sofa of Captain Xu, trembling, crying like a baby.
He has been on the battlefield of country R for so long and has never needed psychological treatment!
Captain Xu put his arms around his shoulders and confided that Baby Qi, it's fine if you can't learn it, don't force it!
So I can only choose to enter the job first.But on the third day after Cheng Ji completed the entry procedures, he was secretly stationed in country R again, and he was directly named by his superiors.
The reason is also dumbfounding—since Shen Zimo and others opened up a new idea of going to Tiger Mountain and defecting to war-torn countries, there have been three groups of fugitives going to country R in the past half a year. Is a felon.
The police in our country have also gone all out and hit hard. Although it is said that cross-border law enforcement is not allowed on the surface, it is always possible to secretly install a fugitive and murderer workstation, right?
In the current state of country R where you hit me today and I hit you tomorrow, warmongers run all over the streets, drug lords open their doors and engage in big rewards, workstations are simply more harmless than milk tea shops.
Special police officer Cheng was sent to be the station master, secretly.
Because Shangfeng believes that he not only has experience, but also has a bit of metaphysics, and has the ability to kill opponents without bloodshed.
He went, and of course Chen Chuan and Lao Geng would follow.Chen Chuan's current task is to protect the young mistress, and Lao Geng is still counting on his godson to take care of him.
So they formed a small team, took root in the grassroots of foreign countries, and became one with the masses.
Just over two years passed.
Fortunately, in the past two years, the country has sent some professionals whose identities cannot be disclosed, instead of hiring foreign three-legged cats, so the danger of the action is much lower than the first time. Most of the time, Cheng Ji feels that he is just a Simple stalker.
During the two years, he was unable to return to China because he had a mission and could not leave without authorization.
It wasn't until the third batch of fugitives were arrested and escorted back to China a few days ago that he was finally able to stay away from the war-torn land of country R and return to Hongcheng.
Hongcheng International Airport.
Chen Chuan and Lao Geng hurried out of the terminal and jumped into Wang Beifeng's business car.
Wang Beifeng was overjoyed, but he yelled, "Hey, what's going on? Chen Chuan, why are you so dark? How can I touch you when the lights are turned off?"
