Chapter 898

A figure in black appeared quietly at the stairs, but did not enter the balcony.Chu Qiu nodded slightly before the other party came over and put a telegram on the coffee table.

The telegram was still sent by He Wanjun. She met Niu Dafu who had been dismissed and detained in the command center, and learned from his mouth that Hong Tao was indeed alive, but no one knew whether he might survive after being bombed.

"... Is Executive Gao here?" Chu Qiu pondered for a while and asked softly.

"He came an hour ago and is waiting in the office." The thin figure was a girl in her early 20s.She is in a similar situation to He Wanjun, both orphans, and there are four or five others in the same situation.

They are service staff of the council in name, but they were all adopted by Chuqiu when they were around ten years old. When they became adults, they picked the smarter and more loyal ones to listen to.

"Invite him to come up...continue to maintain the communication, let Jun Wan report the latest developments at any time!" Chu Qiu nodded, indicating that the little girl can leave.

A few minutes later, a figure flashed at the top of the stairs, and a handsome, slender middle-aged man came up.There is a short beard on the chin, which is very neatly trimmed, and the slightly long hair is a bit literary.

Gao Tianyi, whether he has a beard or not, ten years have not left too many marks on his face.When Hong Tao was in power, he was exceptionally appointed as the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long. Hong Tao died and many positions were re-elected. According to the rules, he could only return to the council, completely cutting off his hope of entering politics.

The hope is gone, but the idea is not gone. In less than two years, he has won the favor of Chu Qiu with his rich management experience, skilled political skills and the few remaining contacts. He can not only make suggestions on many issues, but also be regarded as a think tank.

At the same time, the personal relationship between him and Chu Qiu is also heating up with the intensified factional disputes, and it is only one step away from talking about marriage.Now that the big trouble is coming, Chu Qiu is really at a loss, so he naturally wants to discuss it with him.

"Have you heard that? I don't know where the news came that Hong Tao was still alive, and he was besieged by zombies with Zhang Ke. Suddenly there was such a gust of wind, there must be someone behind it, we have to guard against it!"

Without Chu Qiu's call, Gao Tianyi also came to report a very intriguing thing.He heard the rumors that Hong Tao was still alive, and the first thing he thought of was that someone wanted to take the opportunity to stir up trouble, and he specially came to remind Chu Qiu not to be too careless.

"Look, Jun Wan just sent it!" Hearing the man's question full of concern, Chu Qiu felt warm in his heart.

If this matter were replaced by Hong Tao, he probably wouldn't even discuss it with himself. At most, he would say that you don't need me to deal with it, and then he would discuss it with Lin Na, Zhou Yuan, and Randy.

But Gao Tianyi is different. Every time he encounters a problem, he will consider the problem from the interests of the two people. Whether it is right or not, it feels much better than being an outsider.

"...Could it be, could it be that the rumors are true!" The telegram was very short, but Gao Tian read it very slowly, and it took him a long time to respond, his eyes were full of disbelief, and there was a hint of panic.

"At present, it seems to be true. It's just that he is dead or alive. No matter what the result is, we have to make preparations in advance and prepare with both hands." Seeing the light in the man's eyes, Chu Qiu was a little disappointed.

In her memory, whether he was the landlord or the team leader, Hong Tao had never been in despair. Even in the few days when the zombie virus just broke out, there were only two people who depended on each other. They didn't know anything about the outside world. Cowardly, he can still hum a ditty while knocking on the zombie's head, as if nothing in the world is difficult.

But it's just a little disappointing. Such a man can make people feel at ease, but it can also make people sad.I always think about what others are like, and never ask myself if I have any ideas or what I need.

Marriage...that is simply a tragedy, not so much because of feelings, as it is because of the satisfaction of fulfilling a promise.When he was recovering from his injuries, he had to steal a few eggs in the middle of the night, which was downright hypocritical.

"Crack..." Gao Tianyi didn't answer, took out a cigarette and lit it, and continued to stare at the message, as if he could reveal the standard answer after a few more glances.

"..." Chu Qiu was not in a hurry to express his opinion, he picked up the cold coffee and sipped it.

She has learned a lot over the years, for example, don't rush to speak if you don't have something too sure in your mind, and let others speak as much as possible.Even if it is bad for you, you have to bear it first, the more you talk, the more flaws you will have.

"In other words, the plane crash was fake. What happened back then that made him insist on leaving in this way?" Gao Tianyi also calmed down after pumping for more than half of the time.But he was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but wanted to dig out the past.

It seems that it has nothing to do with the present, but it is not.If you can figure out the details of the year, maybe you can follow the clues to find the reason for coming back today.At this time, the more you know, the easier it is to make a relatively accurate judgment. If you don't know anything, Zhuge Liang can only guess when he comes.

"..." Now it was Chu Qiu's turn to think, she really didn't know why Hong Tao faked a plane crash and left.

Ordinarily at that time, the alliance had just won the first victory in the defense of the capital, and took down the Northwest Alliance in one fell swoop. Regardless of the number of survivors or the reputation of the leaders, no one or anything could threaten Hong Tao, or even interfere. How could it be possible to leave voluntarily?

"To be able to do things so skillfully, I'm afraid he can't do it alone. There must be someone to help. Who do you think is most likely to be this person?" Seeing that Chu Qiu's brows were almost wrinkled together and there was still no answer, Gao Tianyi changed the question again.

Although it is not too late for him to join the revival alliance, he is not very clear about Hong Tao's private life, especially the interpersonal relationship during the rescue team was basically blank.Usually, I didn't think of asking, I really don't know who Hong Tao has the best personal relationship with.

"...Zhou Yuan!" This time, Chu Qiu squeezed out a name from between his teeth without hesitating for too long.

"Her? Shouldn't it be Jiao Qiao or Ran Di?" Gao Tianyi's answer was a bit unexpected. It's not that he has a deep personal grudge against Zhou Yuan. How come the woman who is so beautiful has become the only candidate.

"The two of them have hooked up a long time ago, and many important decisions have been reached in private before a meeting to study. If he hadn't taken my face into consideration, he would have put Zhou Yuan in the core position long ago, and might even replace Liu Quan There and Randy.

It was the two of them who conspired to besiege you and set up an ambush for the Flying Tigers, and even Randy and Lin Na didn't know about it until the end.At that time, he entrusted Zhou Yuan with the base of the altar of the earth. Lu Yejiangnan's calculating head was defeated because he missed her power.

If someone really helped him pretend that the plane crashed, I think the only one who knows the inside story might be Zhou Yuan.At that time, a group of people under her were stationed in Huairou, and they were not dispatched by the alliance at all, and no one would know if they did some small tricks unknowingly. "

These words are a stone stuck in the bottom of Chu Qiu's heart, if such a big incident hadn't happened, he would never have said it to outsiders for the rest of his life.How embarrassing!But as long as you open your mouth, it will flow like a flood.

"No wonder she went to the front line... What happened to Niu Dafu, did he see Hong Tao?" After hearing the story, Gao Tianyi partly agreed to regard Zhou Yuan as the first suspect.But at this moment, there is no way to prove it, and there is no time to investigate. There are still many issues that need to be clarified.

"At present, all I know is these...wait..." It's a pity that Chu Qiu still couldn't answer these questions. She received the telegram only half an hour earlier than Gao Tianyi.At this moment, the girl in black appeared at the stairs again.

"...Why is there only half of it?" After receiving the telegram from the girl and glanced at it, Chu Qiu's expression became even uglier, and he asked sharply.

"Secretary He's plane has already taken off. She sent it at the airport. There is no time." The girl in black explained in a low voice without any expression.

"You go to the airport and wait, let her come to see me as soon as the plane lands!"

Screening off the girl in black, Chu Qiu glanced at the telegram again, and casually pushed it to Gao Tianyi, rubbing his forehead with his hands, and leaned back in the chair slumped.The situation was developing in the direction she least wanted to see, and the trend was even worse than expected, almost reaching the verge of getting out of control.

Chapter 899

He Wanjun had confirmed in the second telegram that Hong Tao was still alive, but he did not return to Minggang Airport, but was picked up by a navy gunboat, and Jiao Qiao and Zhou Yuan did not know where he was going.

She is not very clear about where Hong Tao came from, why he appeared suddenly, how he was involved in the clean-up plan, and why he was bombarded by Niu Dafu, etc. When I went to Xinyang, I was besieged by zombies with Zhang Ke by accident.

At first, no one knew that he was Hong Tao, but when the living corpse appeared and destroyed Team X's plan, putting everyone on the battlefield in danger, this man stood up again, sneaked into the zombie group alone, successfully found and killed living corpse.

At this time, the Heavy Artillery Battalion of the First Reserve Brigade suddenly fired 60 incendiary bombs at the community where the living corpses were located without notifying the headquarters.It was the chief of staff of the brigade who gave the order, but this person and the three guards died because of the accidental explosion of the grenade, and now there is no proof of death.

Even so, Niu Dafu was still arrested under Zhou Yuan's order, but the reason had nothing to do with the bombardment of Hong Tao, and was actually suspected of leaking military secrets in violation of the secrecy regulations.

Obviously, Niu Dafu was seriously suspected in the shelling of Hong Tao, but there was no evidence.And Zhou Yuan was even more terrific, and simply found a crime that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had the right to intervene.

Both of them are avenging public and private revenge, but the actions are all in accordance with the rules, and neither of them can say anything.As for who is guilty and who is not guilty in the end, it will have to wait for the investigation results of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the military.

Putting aside these superficial phenomena, the deep-seated changes caused by Hong Tao's appearance are the root cause of Chu Qiu's upset.First of all, Zhang Ke, the young veteran of the alliance, was not only a party to this incident, but also expressed his attitude uncharacteristically, unequivocally standing on Hong Tao's side.

Although I didn't say that, the practice is more straightforward than the words.If it weren't for his speech to the soldiers and coachmen, Hong Tao's appearance would have been far from sensational, at least it would not have been known to everyone until the top management reached a consensus.

Fortunately, the top executives of the alliance don't even have time to communicate and negotiate in private. There are only two choices left, either to welcome the founder back in a high-profile manner, or to explicitly oppose this person's seizure of power.

But no matter how you choose, the process and result are not easy to control, and it may cause a violent turmoil.Among them, the first one must be myself, the chairman, let or not, choose one of the two!

The second is Zhou Yuan. The royalist faction and the reformist faction have been fighting each other for seven or eight years, but they have never really turned their faces because of different ideas, let alone resort to unscrupulous methods. Everyone is sticking to a bottom line.

It's not about how high the realm of the two parties is, but that if you don't stick to this bottom line, you won't succeed. If anyone dares to cross the line, Lin Na and Jiao Qiao have a reason not to remain neutral.The joining of the two of them basically means the end of the struggle, and whichever side gets support will be a crushing victory.

But this time, Zhou Yuan didn't save face at all, and directly arrested members of the Reformist Party on the battlefield, which is still a very important backbone.This is tantamount to tearing the face apart and heating up the struggle.

If Zhou Yuan's madness alone can be explained by personal feelings, the performance of Jiao Qiao and Lin Na will be very intriguing.It wasn't that these two were beyond their reach and couldn't intervene. They were at the scene, but they didn't react at all, allowing Niu Dafu to be arrested.

Obviously, the two of them were also inclined to Zhou Yuan's approach. Although they hadn't made a clear-cut stand to support the royalists, it was an attitude, or a warning, on the issue of Hong Tao's return.In the future, if anyone wants to attack Hong Tao again, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Armed Forces will fight back hard.

In the end, the navy suddenly intervened, making the already ambiguous situation even more confusing.What is Wada Renji going to do when he jumps out at this time?Is this what he meant alone or the consensus of most foreign survivors?

If it is the latter, will the Air Force, which also has a large number of foreign survivors, be affected? What is Randy's attitude?Before these issues are clarified, everything is unknown.

"Aqiu, things are not at their worst, so don't be alarmed. Don't worry, with me here, no one can easily hurt you!" Just when Chu Qiu was swayed by the helpless and pessimistic feelings that the situation was over, a big hand gently It covered the back of her hand, and instantly dispelled the early morning chill.

"The current situation is very unfavorable to us. If Zhang Ke disturbs me like this, I will become the target of public criticism. Is there any other option besides taking the initiative to give way?"

Chu Qiu didn't withdraw his hand, but turned it over and held it tightly.Although his tone was still pessimistic, there was already a light of hope in his eyes.She hoped that the man in front of her could turn the tide again and prove to everyone with practical actions that the men she chose were stronger than each other.

"The specific situation is still unclear, and it is too early to draw conclusions at this time. However, there is a phenomenon that can explain the problem. In the end, he chose to board the gunboat instead of going to the airport to take a plane, nor did he return by land with the army.

Speaking of which, I have also fought with him for more than a year, so I partially understand this person's temper.If he wants to come back to seize power, the ideal way is to follow the army back to the capital base.

With the support of Jiao Qiao, Zhang Ke, and Pei Shanxi, and the use of telegrams to contact the elders of all parties along the way, even if the reformists cannot be disintegrated, it will affect many centrists to join the royalist camp.At that time, the strength of the two sides will be very different, even if you don't want to give up your seat, there is no possibility of resistance.

If you think the land route is unsafe, or the speed is too slow, it is also a good choice to fly directly to Beijiao Airport.The place is completely under the control of the air crew, and Zhang Tao will not order the garrison to stop it. It is his style to make the most unexpected airborne appearance.

But he didn't choose the two best ways, and instead boarded the navy's gunboat.Not only is the navy the weakest, it is also the slowest, and it is also the most difficult to get close to the capital base.Regardless of going to LYG or Jinmen Port, it is unreasonable to still ask for help from the Air Force and Army in the end. "

Gao Tianyi covered the other hand again, and tightly held Chu Qiu's cold little hand, trying to give the woman enough warmth and confidence in this way.Judging from the information we have so far, the development of the situation is not very clear, and there are at least several questions that cannot be answered.

It would not only be a pity but also a bit pathetic if you were to surrender in such a hurry.Leaving Chuqiu aside, she is just an ordinary woman coerced by various forces. Although she has learned a lot of political skills and gained a lot of fighting experience over the years, her foundation is too weak and her upper limit is too low.

But he is a man of great means and brains, there is no reason to surrender as soon as he hears his name.That's right, I lost badly last time. Not only did I lose my entire fortune, but I also used it as a badge for others.

But that is the old calendar of ten years ago, and people are changing.I spent ten years summarizing and studying in the council, and Hong Tao wandered outside for ten years. As soon as the two sides advanced and retreated, whoever said that they could no longer arm each other.

"What do you mean?" Chu Qiu seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand.

"Put yourself in his shoes. At his most critical moment, not only was there no one to help him, but he was also shelled. If we were you and me, would you still trust Jiao Qiao and the army 100%? The same goes for the air force. The airport is too easy to be controlled by the army. He can fly a plane, which must be very clear, so he finally chose the navy.

Although the navy has only a few broken ships, it is very inconspicuous, but as long as it can leave the port and enter the deep sea, it is much safer than the army and air force.He seems to be able to drive a boat too, right?Those Japanese and Korean survivors who were rescued by his plane back then became the best amulets at this time. "

In fact, Gao Tianyi didn't fully understand Hong Tao's thoughts, but while explaining to Chu Qiu, he seemed to be more and more convinced of his own judgment, and he tapped his fingers on the coffee table while talking, feeling a little complacent.

"Aside from Niu Dafu, is there anyone else who wants to kill him?" To be honest, Chu Qiu didn't like Hong Tao very much, and even had some resentment, but she really didn't want to murder this former landlord, savior and ex-husband in the past.

"Maybe not, maybe there is. If it were me, I would rather believe that there is. By the way, didn't he often say a word before, don't leave your fate in the hands of others.

This sentence can well explain why he chose the navy, and it also explains one thing. Jiao Qiao and Lin Na have not expressed their 100% support for him to come back to seize power. This is good news for us. "

Chapter 900

"How is it possible?" Chu Qiu mostly agreed with Gao Tianyi's analysis, but Jiao Qiao and Lin Na disagreed.

These two are Hong Tao's direct descendants, and among them are friends from the old world, their relationship is unusual.If it is said who wants him to come back the most, Jiao Qiao must be ranked among the top three, how could he not express his opinion at such a critical moment.

"Aqiu, you still don't know much about human nature. Speaking of which, I was defeated by him back then. That's the biggest shortcoming. The Pingnan Army is no worse than the rescue team in terms of numbers, equipment, and combat effectiveness, or even stronger. I was fooled by him again and again, and lost the best chance, and finally ended up like this.

People's ideas are subject to change, constantly changing according to the environment and status.Back then, Jiao Qiao was a rich second generation who didn't have to worry about food and drink, while Lin Na was a scheming mistress. At the beginning of the zombie virus outbreak, she had no choice but to hug his thigh tightly.

The situation is completely different now, Jiao Qiao has become the Minister of Armed Forces, and Lin Na is in charge of the only police force in the alliance, with great power.Although they have not been involved in factional struggles these years, the treatment they deserve has not been lost at all, and they don't need to look at anyone's face.

Once he comes back, he will definitely have to follow up with the original set of rules, and it will be more perfect and more detailed.Think about it, besides a stubborn woman like Zhou Yuan, who else would be willing to go back to the era of the Revival Alliance or even the rescue team, eating, living, working, harvesting, and distribution...

Isn't this communism? It sounds beautiful, but it is very difficult to implement and requires extremely high personal qualities.The ancients said it well, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.This is human nature, and no one can change it, not even him! "

In these ten years, Gao Tianyi has indeed changed a lot. His temper is not as irritable as before, and his arrogance is gone. correct.

If Hong Tao hadn't left back then, there was a high probability that the position of foreign minister would have fallen to him, and he would have done it well in a down-to-earth manner, with no desire to fight.But as luck would have it, Hong Tao suddenly disappeared, taking away most of his hopes at the same time.

Finally, it took ten years to have some hope again, but Hong Tao suddenly came back.When Gao Tianyi first received the news, he sat in a daze for a long time before he recovered and thought it through.This is my last chance in this life, no matter whether I win or lose, I have to fight for it!

"...Then what should we do?" Chu Qiu also remained silent for a long time before raising his head, probably agreeing with this statement.

"Aqiu, are you sure you want to fight him?" Seeing that Chu Qiu had already made a decision, Gao Tianyi thought it was not safe, so he planned to make sure again.

"If you are willing to help me!" Chu Qiu firmly grasped Gao Tianyi's fingers, expressing his attitude word by word.

"We probably still have a few days, so we must make full use of it. Let's split up. You go to the heads of the various departments to talk, get a feel for what they say, and roughly estimate the current situation.

I went to find out the origin of that Ping An Transportation Company, how he hid in it, how long he hid it, and whether there was any inside story.By dinner time, there should be some answers. "

If Chu Qiu had the slightest hesitation, Gao Tianyi would not have dared to bet all his treasures.Now it's all right, let's all show their abilities and fight to see if the east wind will overwhelm the west wind or the west wind will overwhelm the east wind in the end, the outcome is unknown!

During this period of time, Wang Jian was very busy and very happy.After unremitting efforts, both the cases of Ojai Farm and the German Embassy have been solved.He doesn't care about bonuses, prestige, etc. He is happiest when he proves his judgment is correct and catches the criminal.

But this time the happiness turned into bitterness before it had time to ferment, just because of one person's name, Hong Tao!The principal culprit, Zhou Dafu, was actually Hong Tao. When he heard the news from his colleagues in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Wang Jian suddenly had a feeling that the rumors might be true!

Counting, I have been in close contact with Chow Tai Fook at least twice, and each time I feel a sense of déjà vu.At that time, I didn't take it too seriously. Over the years, due to work reasons, I have come into contact with too many people, all kinds of people, and I can't remember everyone.

Thinking back carefully at this time, they were very similar in stature and age. Although their looks and voices were quite different, these two characteristics were the easiest to disguise.If you don't have this ability, how can you become the most successful big fool in the history of the league.

If Zhou Dafu was really Hong Tao, then the two major cases he solved would not be worth celebrating, and maybe they would become bad things.The reason is very simple. The reason why Chairman Hong hides in the safe area under a pseudonym and make-up must have important things to do, and he has been exposed in the end.

As for killing several people, including a high-ranking official of the alliance, is it a crime?Wang Jian thinks that if it is applied to others, it will definitely count, but if it is applied to Director Hong, it will have to be analyzed in detail according to different situations, and it cannot be generalized.

Especially Zhang Fengwu's reputation and the evidence found at the scene showed that this scum really deserves to die, and it is not a pity to die!As a result, after some high-level operations, many violations of the regulations brought out by the murder case were covered up, and even the Ministry of Internal Affairs could not be held accountable.

Chairman Hong used to say that when the rules fail to protect the interests of the people, private revenge is legitimate and even noble.Only in this way can the rule makers and executors feel the pain and urge them to improve the rules as soon as possible.

That's what he said, and he also did the same. From this point alone, Wang Jian was convinced.Over the years, I have seen countless injustices, but I have never shown the justice that the executor should have.

Just when Wang Jian was worrying about gains and losses in order to solve the case, another new news came, this time it was reported by Lan Yuer himself.As the director of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she may not be able to obtain the details of the front line in time, but she can 100% grasp the troubles from within the alliance.

The reason why I told Wang Jian was not to chew my tongue, but to investigate the source of the rumors.Currently Lin Nayuan is on the front line, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs must fully grasp all abnormal phenomena in the capital base.

Lan Ling'er said that the zombie army had disintegrated, and all the besieged soldiers and coachmen had been rescued, and the rescue troops suffered little loss.But there are rumors that the real credit is not the army's bravery in combat, nor the accuracy of the air force's bombing, but that Zhou Dafu broke into the zombie group alone and found the living corpse.

This rumor does not sound very reliable, but the source is very reliable. It comes from Zhang Ke's public speech.It probably means that Chow Tai Fook is Hong Tao, and his body has the gene to be immune to the zombie virus.

A simple reason made the rumors very logical, and by the way, it also explained why the founder of the alliance who was in full swing at that time wanted to leave by feigning death. He was afraid of being regarded as a Tang monk!

Then whether Zhang Ke said this, or someone spread rumors in his name to disturb the audience, Wang Jian has a way to investigate.He and Zhang Ke have a special communication frequency band, which was originally used to solve the case, but now it's just a matter of asking me.

Zhang Ke replied quickly, he really spread the news about Hong Tao, not a single lie.Moreover, there was an update. After Hong Tao discovered the living corpse, he was viciously bombarded by Niu Dafu, and his life and death were uncertain.

"Alive, dead... Alive, dead... It doesn't count if you haven't shuffled the cards!" At this point, Wang Jian believed it 100%, and then began to worry about Hong Tao's life and death.But thousands of miles away, I can't use any strength, so I can only pin all my feelings on the playing cards.

"Hello? Who is it!" Another bad hand, just as Wang Jian was about to start another game, the phone rang suddenly.

"Chairman Gao, the case is not over yet, isn't it a bit early for the review?" Wang Jian was surprised that the caller was Gao Tianyi. The meaning was very simple. The roll call depends on the file of the Ping An Transportation Company.

As the standing chairman of the council, this person's job is to question the work mistakes of various government departments. It is not wrong to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for the file, but it is a bit too urgent. The case is not over yet.

However, Gao Tianyi gave a relatively strong reason, saying that rumors are spreading everywhere, if Zhou Dafu is really Hong Tao, this matter is not just a murder case, and the chairman of the board made the decision to review in advance.
