Now that the division of labor has been determined, Commander Ouyang did not ask about the arrangements for the treasure hunt or the clues to the treasure. Anyway, he was responsible for the follow-up work of the treasure. How to find the treasure had nothing to do with him. He argued with Mr. Hou for a while.
He said goodbye with satisfaction and left.
Old Man Yang naturally left as well. After all, he had just taken office and was very busy now. He had to rush back to the capital overnight.
When Mr. Hou sent them off, Chen Ran also followed him out, and all the soldiers guarding the yard withdrew. As soon as the guards guarding the gate saw Commander Ouyang and Mr. Yang coming out, they quickly opened the car door.
opened.
Commander Ouyang and Mr. Hou were joking for a while, then looked at Chen Ran and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, we are now considered family members. How about coming to my place for a drink together?"
"Commander Ouyang, thank you for your kindness. I'd better complete the mission first."
Chen Ran politely declined Commander Ouyang's kindness. Although he has now become the deputy leader of the special service team, the specific arrangements are still entirely the responsibility of President Hou. Until now, President Hou has not disclosed the specific content of the task.
Yes, who knows how to arrange it. At this time, he naturally cannot leave at will.
"Haha, okay, I'll take care of you today. Let's get together again when you're done." Commander Ouyang just invited him politely. Since Chen Ran said this, he agreed naturally.
"Okay." Chen Ran agreed readily this time.
Commander Ouyang chuckled, patted Chen Ran on the shoulder, looked at the people in Guoan, cleared his throat and said: "Comrades, what happened just now is a complete misunderstanding, and I have offended everyone. Here I will give comrades
We have apologized, and I will also take this time to send you a farewell and wish the comrades a successful return from their mission, and I will celebrate the success of the comrades then."
After finishing speaking, Commander Ouyang shook hands with the Guoan people standing in front. Given his status, he said this. How could those people from Guoan be angry with him?
After Commander Ouyang shook hands with everyone, he waved and got into the car. With Commander Yang's character, he naturally couldn't be like Commander Ouyang. Commander Yang was originally the director of the Second Department of the General Staff. A few months ago, during a meeting,
While Chief Yang was talking, his legs suddenly twitched and he fell to the ground unconscious. Later, he was sent to the hospital and it was found that Mr. Yang suffered from severe epilepsy. After the news came out, the superiors persuaded him to leave.
Old man Yang, after meeting Chen Ran some time ago and being cured by Chen Ran using energy aperture, he went to several hospitals for examinations and was determined to be a misdiagnosis. At that time, this incident caused a stir among the upper levels.
There was quite a turmoil. After examining Old Man Yang for a period of time, he had no choice but to transfer him back to the General Staff. Old Yang experienced this incident and it was a blessing in disguise. He used to be the director of the Second Department of the General Staff, but after he was transferred back to the General Staff, he became
Assistant to the Chief of General Staff, it can be regarded as a small promotion. Even though it is only a small promotion, the difference between the two is far.
Having said what should be said, Chief Yang didn't say anything more to Chen Ran. When he came from the capital in a hurry, he didn't bring many people with him, so he could only leave two soldiers for Chen Ran for the time being.
Assist and protect Chen Ran. Anyway, this operation is just to survey the location of the treasure. In addition, the National Security side is still the main force, so it does not require so many people.
After Chief Yang pointed to the two lieutenants and explained to them, the two lieutenants ran up to Chen Ran and saluted Chen Ran in unison: "Hello, Captain!"
Although Chen Ran was not used to this kind of greeting ceremony in the army, he returned the greeting in a decent manner, nodded politely and said, "Sorry to bother you two."
After the two lieutenants saw the ceremony, Chief Yang came to Chen Ran with a pistol and handed it to Chen Ran: "Use it for now. When you finish the work, come to Beijing to find me. Do you know how to shoot? If not, let me
Xiao Han and Xiao Wu will teach you first."
"good."
Chen Ran was not polite at all. Since there was no absolute safety guarantee for what he had to do, it would undoubtedly be best if he had a gun. A hero cannot be polite.
If it's disassembling or assembling a pistol, then he can't do it, but he can still do simple shooting, but he's just not very skilled.
Chief Yang nodded, looked back, turned around, got into the car and left with Commander Ouyang.
"Captain Chen, please get ready. We will set off in five minutes." Although he looked down on Chen Ran, Chen Ran now represented the General Staff, and he still had to explain things that should be explained to Chen Ran. It was just President Hou greeting Chen Ran.
His tone was no longer the same as before.
When Commander Ouyang and Chief Yang were here, Hou always had to work hard to deal with them. Now that they have left, the attention naturally falls on Chen Ran, and Chen Ran naturally
It became a thorn in Mr. Hou's side.
Chen Ran could hear the resentment in Mr. Hou's tone, but he didn't take it seriously. The situation now is undoubtedly much better than before Old Man Yang appeared. At least it gave him the right to speak. With Mr. Hou's words,
It depends on him whether he listens or not.
Chen Ran was surprised when Mr. Hou said he would set off in five minutes. He did not expect Mr. Hou to be so eager. Commander Ouyang and Chief Yang had just left and were about to set off. The other party didn't say anything just now.
Of course, Chen Ran was just surprised. Since Mr. Hou said to set off at this time, then it would be better to set off at this time. This was exactly what he wanted, and he had nothing to prepare anyway.
Five minutes was neither long nor short, but it was enough for Chen Ran to put on a military uniform and a bulletproof vest. Chen Ran also had some contact with the two lieutenants that Old Man Yang left for him, but this was
The two lieutenants were very cold in attitude and expression. Chen Ran only knew their two names. The full name of Xiao Han mentioned by Old Man Yang was Han Qinhu, while Xiao Wu's full name was Wu Bing, Han Qin.
Hu is older than Wu Bing.
In less than five minutes, Mr. Hou took someone to greet Chen Ran and set off. Mr. Hou only brought three of his subordinates. These three subordinates were the same three who invited Chen Ran all the way. Mr. Hou
They drove a black Audi, and Old Man Yang also asked Commander Ouyang to leave a military Grand Cherokee for Chen Ran.
There were seven people in the group, one car from the National Security Bureau and one car from the General Staff. On the way, Wu Bing drove the car. Mr. Hou did not explain where the destination was. Chen Ran and the others could only follow the Audi in front.
The car set off from Guoan's small courtyard and turned a few times along the streets of the town. We saw a beautiful building in the distance. However, before the car arrived, we turned a corner and headed towards the mountain road on the other side.
.
The Audi car was obviously going up the mountain. The mountain road was getting narrower and shorter. Not long after, it was time to turn a corner. Chen Ran's eyesight was relatively good. Even though it was at night, he could still see.
Looking at the surrounding scene, the two sides of the mountain road looked as if they had been eroded by water. Some were white and some were red. Some peaks protruded like Mount Everest, and the red soil on the top resembled the golden color of the sun. Some were neatly arranged.
, and like the Longmen Grotto, standing like a blade, and like the palace wall, with its vertical and horizontal textures stretching like wall bricks.
Along the way, Chen Ran watched with great interest, and these surroundings also allowed him to guess where this place was. If he guessed correctly, this should be the famous "Fake Beijing" in the back of Prince Qi's Mansion.
The purpose of this trip is to find the treasure of Prince Qi's Mansion, so the purpose of going to the mountains behind Prince Qi's Mansion is naturally self-evident.
After walking around the labyrinth-like city wall of fake Beijing for a long time, a few lights suddenly appeared in front of me, and there were also people standing guard. But when I saw the Audi car in front of me approaching, the lever to stop the car suddenly appeared.
After lifting it up and passing the lever, the Audi slowly stopped in an open space next to it.
The jeep followed the Audi and parked in the open space on the side. As soon as he got out of the car, Chen Ran heard the sound of joking. When he raised his eyes, he understood why Mr. Hou chose to set off at night and brought only
Three people.
It turns out that everyone is here, and this should be the base camp for this operation.
After Mr. Hou got out of the car, he looked back at Chen Ran and walked towards the temporary tent that was set up. Chen Ran also followed him with his people. When they got there, three or four people came up and shouted in unison.
: "Mr. Hou." As he shouted, he looked at Chen Ran and the three men in military uniforms strangely. He was obviously wondering how Mr. Hou had brought the people from the General Staff here after he went out for a while.
Mr. Hou ignored them and just nodded. These people followed Mr. Hou. When they arrived at the temporary tent, they saw several other people coming out of the tent to greet them.
Among these people, the woman leading them was the young woman that Chen Ran saw in the National Security courtyard not long ago. She must have come from there when she was discussing things with Commander Ouyang and the others just now. The young woman
The woman was wearing a green cross-country military uniform and black military boots. She had a curvy figure and looked extremely heroic. However, it was regrettable that the woman's appearance was just average, or a bit androgynous.
Next to the young woman was a young girl. This girl was quite beautiful, but she was a bit younger. Although she didn't speak, it was obvious from her smart eyes and slightly curled lips that this girl should be...
It is lively and playful.
Behind the girl was a tall young man in a white suit, a plain-looking middle-aged man, and the young woman Chen Ran saw in the National Security Courtyard. The woman behind him should look like the situation.
Just a bodyguard for a young woman.
Mr. Hou met them and greeted them with a smile, and gave Chen Ran a brief introduction. These people were all members of the Treasure Protection Association. What surprised Chen Ran was that this young woman turned out to be
Vice president of the Treasure Protection Association.
Chen Ran is also a person in the antiques industry, so he naturally understands that none of the collectors who can make a fortune in international auctions are simple people. They are either tycoons in the collection industry or tycoons at the pinnacle of money and power, and this treasure protection association is just like these.
It can be imagined that this treasure protection association is not simple. In fact, this can be seen from the fact that this treasure protection association can establish a relationship with the central government. However, I did not expect that the treasure protection association’s deputy
The president turned out to be such a young woman.
Although he was surprised, Chen Ran didn't show it, he just looked at the other person twice. He was very surprised that this young woman was wearing a pair of sunglasses at night.
Of course, he didn't explore this issue much.
Whether the location of the treasure can be determined or not depends now on whether Chen Ran can crack the mystery in front of him. Once the mystery is revealed, the truth about the treasure of Prince Qi's Mansion will be revealed. I have been waiting for Chen Ran for two days, and now Chen Ran is here.
Of course they couldn't wait.
After a few words of greeting, everyone quickly invited Chen Ran into the dug cave.
