After a while, Yang Xiaotao came out of the study, and several people came and sat down.
Seeing Yu Zecheng's serious face, Yang Xiaotao knew something was wrong.
"We know something from the enemy..."
"The other party's purpose is to develop and produce our high-yield crops. The previous direction was not wrong. You are their key target..."
"Fortunately, we notified Dean Deng of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in advance and arrangements have been made."
Yu Zecheng said on the side and took out another document.
"However, there are more enemies than we thought!"
"This is the news from Sijiucheng. Your residence was broken into last night."
"Someone is coming in? Who is it?"
Yang Xiaotao was surprised and asked quickly.
Although he is not in the courtyard, there are others.
After hearing this, Yu Zecheng told the news he got in the morning.
"A total of three people were shot dead."
"Based on their appearance and the evidence of items left at the scene, it can be concluded that these three people should be members of the alliance."
"But I heard that the alliance has stated that the three people are disguised as agents of the United States, and they have also produced a lot of evidence."
"Our comrades are quarreling with them."
Hao Pingchuan on the side groaned, "Do you still need to ask? It must be them. It's not that easy for ordinary people to come to China."
Yang Xiaotao nodded after hearing this. Today's Sijiucheng is not comparable to that here in Shanghai. There are foreign friends, but they have to be through formal channels.
In addition, all the people are soldiers, so foreigners in Sijiu City are watched wherever they go.
"The Alliance? Is it possible that they are still evil-minded?"
Yang Xiaotao thought about the loss the other party suffered last time. Didn't he learn any lessons?
"Not sure."
Yu Zecheng was open-minded, "Which do you think is more important, a few dead people or a strategic weapon that can change the agricultural pattern?"
As soon as he said this, without Yang Xiaotao needing to answer, Hao Pingchuan blurted out, "Weapons are important."
Yang Xiaotao took a look and saw that this guy really didn't keep his words in his mind.
However, this is the most straightforward thing to say.
Having these seeds and mastering this technology is equivalent to getting rid of the shackles on your neck!
You must know that Maoxiong Heavy Industry is said to be second to none and no one dares to find fault with it, but what about light industry?
This won't work.
Otherwise, the corn boy would not be interested in growing corn.
"What's going on in the yard?"
Yang Xiaotao changed the topic and became concerned about the courtyard.
"A man entered your study to look through the information, but was shot to death..."
"The other two were also killed..."
"By the way, the higher ups are concerned about data leakage, and also want to ask if you need to leave the courtyard."
"If necessary, we will arrange a military hospital for you."
Yu Zecheng said and looked at Yang Xiaotao.
Yang Xiaotao pondered for a moment and then shook his head, "I gave all the information about hybrid corn to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. I don't have it at home, and they can't find it."
"Don't worry about that."
"As for moving, forget it."
"After living in this courtyard for so many years, I'm used to it."
"Besides, aren't there you guys?"
Yang Xiaotao finally said that after learning that it was Lao Dao and Cuiping who killed the two people, it was more natural than an accident.
I won’t say it anymore, I’ve been fighting the war of resistance all my life, I’ve been bald, and finally I went to hang out on the 38th parallel for a while. It’s strange that I don’t have any skills.
As for Cuiping, this Cuiping is not a flower vase. If it were a TV series, she would be a proper heroine.
Can I have less ability?
After listening to Yang Xiaotao's opinion, Yu Zecheng nodded.
In his opinion, living in this courtyard is not bad. Although the military compound has a nice name, in terms of actual security, it may not be as good as the street office.
Around this courtyard, in addition to the street office, there is the police station, the security section of the Red Star Machinery Factory, and people like them.
This time there was a loophole, it was because their people left with them, the focus was on Yang Xiaotao, and then the courtyard was neglected.
Even so, if you don’t have one of your own, wouldn’t there be others?
He knew very well how capable his wife was.
Not to mention the skill in the hands, just those long legs, how can any average man stand it?
As for the broken hand or the kidnapping, neither of them worried about it.
Everyone knows the specific process. If this child does not follow the good grass, he will not be the most unlucky, but will be even more unlucky.
"Don't worry, I'll go back tomorrow. Before then, I won't leave here."
Yang Xiaotao didn't want to cause trouble to Yu Zecheng. Ran Qiuye, who was paying attention, vaguely heard something and knew that this was an extraordinary period, so he didn't want to say anything more.
"That's great. On the train tomorrow morning, the comrades here have already..."
Yu Zecheng was still going to say something, but the door was pushed open again, and then he saw Bai Ling striding in, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "The Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Sijiucheng called you and asked you to reply quickly."
"What happened!"
Hao Pingchuan jumped up immediately.
"Hybrid rice, something happened!"
Wow
Yang Xiaotao stood up suddenly, "What's the matter? Let's make it clear!"
It was the first time that Yu Zecheng and others saw Yang Xiaotao being so serious. Even Lao Jin was shocked by Yang Xiaotao.
Bai Ling swallowed, "I couldn't explain clearly on the phone. I just said that some researchers were injured and the experimental field was destroyed."
thump thump thump
Yang Xiaotao ran to the study room in a few steps, "What is the internal number of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences?"
Bai Ling quickly followed, "I know!"
Soon, a group of people ran into the study room cheering, and Lao Jin followed behind with a shy face to listen.
Outside, Ran Qiuye looked worried, but Ms. Cui was constantly comforting her.
Bai Ling Education dialed several numbers, and after some transfers, the call was finally connected.
"Hey, I'm Yang Xiaotao! Find Dean Deng!"
Yang Xiaotao asked directly after taking the phone. Soon a voice came from the other end, but it was not Dean Deng's, but Gao Yufeng's.
"Xiao Tao, this is Gao Yufeng. The dean is not here, so I received news about the rice research and was called to a meeting above."
"Meeting?"
Yang Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, then realized that his superiors must have also received the news.
"Lao Gao, what's going on? What's going on with rice research?"
"The situation is very serious. I got a call from the Southern Research Office. The experimental fields for rice research there were destroyed. I don't know the specific situation."
"More importantly, our researcher was assassinated by the enemy and is still in danger."
"What?"
"What's going on in the experimental field? Isn't there someone watching? I've already said hello to the local department, why did something happen?"
"Also, who is injured? Is it serious?"
Yang Xiaotao asked eagerly. It was precisely because he understood the ups and downs of hybrid rice in his previous life that Yang Xiaotao and Dean Deng proposed a support plan, and specifically emphasized the need to do a good job in protection.
But now it seems that it is useless!
Moreover, there have been casualties that have never occurred in history. If because of his own appearance, the research on hybrid rice is delayed or even fails to succeed, the consequences will be too serious.
Gao Yufeng could not answer Yang Xiaotao's questions and could only remain silent on the phone.
The two of them were silent. Lao Jin and others saw that Yang Xiaotao's face was sulky for the first time. This was something they had never seen since the contact.
It was also at this moment that everyone felt the majesty of Mr. Yang from the machinery factory.
The previous contempt due to age has disappeared.
"Lao Gao, leave the affairs in the south to me. I'm in Shanghai right now. I'll rush there as soon as possible."
"You tell the dean and I'll go there."
Opposite Gao Yufeng immediately refused when he heard this, "No, do you know your own situation? You are the opponent's number one target now, and you don't even know how many people are staring at you!"
"Okay, Lao Gao!"
"Afraid of choking, why don't you eat? Where is this? This is our country, the people's territory. How many rats can I be afraid of?"
"That's it. As the leader of the technical team, I have the right and obligation to go there."
"Tell the comrades over there to keep the scene safe, and no one of those people is allowed to leave."
"That's it, I'll leave right away."
After that, hang up the phone.
"Director Yu, it seems that I won't be able to return to Sijiu City tomorrow!"
Yang Xiaotao spoke directly to Yu Zecheng, who stared at Yang Xiaotao and asked seriously, "Think about it, there is a lot of danger in going this time!"
"Moreover, you must be clear about your importance to the country."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I understand, but I know better the importance of this research to the country."
"I'll go, nothing may happen."
"But if something goes wrong with this technology, the whole of China will have to tighten their belts."
After saying this, everyone took a deep breath.
Especially Hao Pingchuan, who asked without thinking, "Is this, is this too exaggerated?"
Yang Xiaotao looked at him seriously, "It's not an exaggeration at all!"
"Do you know how many people there are in China now?"
"You know that according to the current population growth rate, four or five children in a family is considered a small number. Twenty or fifty years from now, China's population will exceed one billion. How much food do you think we will need to fill these bellies by then?"
Hao Pingchuan was stunned on the spot. He had never thought about this issue.
"One billion, oh my God."
Lao Jin never thought about this problem. In their concept, carrying on the family line and having many children and many blessings are the most important things. Even if a family has a lot of girls, it is necessary to have a son.
Even he has worked hard for this.
pity…
"So, you're going, right?"
Bai Ling suddenly spoke. She had read Yang Xiaotao's information. Although it was only part of it, she knew that Yang Xiaotao also had another position, that is, he was an officer of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the leader of the technical team of the Hybrid Support Program.
I originally thought that Yang Xiaotao was just in name, as a reward from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences for his contribution.
From now on, it seems that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is serious, and Yang Xiaotao’s position is real!
According to his rank, he is no lower than the director of the Alloy Research Institute he just held.
"I must go!"
Yang Xiaotao said it categorically.
If he goes, it is better than not going.
And since Xiaowei is here, she might be able to help.
Besides, if that doesn't work, just use lucky charms.
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was so sure, Bai Ling stopped trying to persuade her, "Since this happened to us in Shanghai, we have to go there too."
"Old Hao, you follow Mr. Yang, and I will arrange the train tickets."
Hao Pingchuan nodded vigorously, "We should have done this a long time ago."
Bai Ling turned and left.
"Wait for the news!"
"This matter has to be decided by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences."
Yu Zecheng did not rush to agree, but he also agreed with Yang Xiaotao's decision in his heart.
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao went to talk to Ran Qiuye.
The two have been together for so long, and Ran Qiuye knows exactly who Yang Xiaotao is.
As long as Yang Xiaotao makes up his mind to do something, no one can stop him.
Ran Qiuye knew that Yang Xiaotao's trip was dangerous, but she had no reason to stop it.
All she can do is wait for him to come back in Sijiucheng.
"Be careful on the road and stay safe!"
"My child and I will go back to Sijiu City first. We are waiting for you!"
Before Yang Xiaotao could speak, Ran Qiuye said with a smile.
Yang Xiaotao nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I can't bear to leave as long as you are here."
Then, he looked at Lao Jin and Ms. Cui, "Grandpa, grandma, something happened suddenly!"
Ms. Cui was a little reluctant to give up, even if it was just one day early.
But Lao Jin was open-minded, "A good man has his ambitions in all directions, and he can do whatever he wants."
"Your grandma and I don't need to worry about it. When we think about it, we will go to Sijiu City to find you."
Ms. Cui's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, and she nodded vigorously.
Seeing that the two old men agreed, Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye went to pack their clothes.
Bai Ling acted quickly and called before lunch. The train ticket had been booked for 12 noon.
Yang Xiaotao checked that the time was over two hours, said goodbye to Ran Qiuye and the child, and told him to be careful on the road. Then he said goodbye to his grandparents and got in the car to the train station.
Yu Zecheng asked Xiaobo to take someone to escort Ran Qiuye back, while he and Hao Pingchuan followed Yang Xiaotao south.
Whether the Academy of Agricultural Sciences agrees or not is no longer important.
Everyone has boarded the train and can be called back again.
Besides, this guy Yang Xiaotao is extraordinary. His sense of danger is as good as his own. Without the burden of his family, this guy is really powerful.
