Seven or eight military vehicles stopped at the door of the villa, and groups of heavily armed soldiers got out of the vehicles and surrounded the villa.
Seeing the situation outside, Chen Ran was surprised at first and then wondered if the higher-ups also knew Zhang Hongjun's identity. However, as soon as this thought occurred, his expression changed and he immediately left the small arsenal without thinking.
He returned to the bedroom outside as quickly as possible.
When he arrived at the bedroom outside, Chen Ran immediately stuffed the unconscious Guan Cheng and his leather bag into the dark hole. After cleaning up the footprints and traces he left on the bed, he immediately returned to the dark hole as quickly as possible and then continued
I hung the European painting on the wall again to block the hole.
But the difference from the original is that even if you take down the painting, you can't find the dark hole in the wall, but now you can see the dark hole in the wall as long as you take down the painting, especially if the safety door of the dark hole is covered with paint.
However, it was destroyed and even the sound insulation was lost.
Chen Ran didn't dare to stop at the door, but before he could pick up Guan Cheng and go down the stairs, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Chen Ran was startled and quickly took out his phone and turned off the vibration first.
Almost at the same time that Chen Ran turned off the vibration of his cell phone, the door to the bedroom outside was banged open and four soldiers with loaded guns rushed in.
Chen Ran frowned and pulled out the battery of his cell phone. If he was just suspicious just now, now he was clearly sure that the soldiers outside were coming for him.
The timely discovery of this was thanks to the two Chen Hu who were monitoring the villa outside, because when Chen Ran was wondering why a large force surrounded the villa, Chen Hu and the two were also wondering why the garrison was here.
When the two were about to report the situation here to their boss, their boss called first.
When the call was connected, the other party asked if Chen Ran was still in the villa. After Chen Hu assured that Chen Ran was still in the villa, the other party said nothing and immediately hung up the phone.
Although this call came out of nowhere, it allowed Chen Hu and the others to relieve their doubts about the garrison outside. It also reminded Chen Ran that the troops outside were not coming for Zhang Hongjun, but for him.
The intention may be to catch him personally and get all the stolen goods, and put everything here on his head. Although Zhang Hongjun's name is on the transfer documents of the company's shares, those are formal business operations. Zhang Hongjun only needs to mention these documents
It was stolen and he happened to have a grudge against Zhang Hongjun...Zhang Hongjun's name will definitely not appear on those account books and evidence. As long as he is secretly arrested and evidence of his crime is established, the General Staff will not be able to protect him.
This is one of the reasons. It is also possible that the troops who came were the people in the ledger who learned that he had discovered evidence of their selling intelligence and sent people to kill him, silence him and destroy the evidence.
As for how they knew it, wasn't it someone who was the boss behind Chen Hu and the others? Chen Hu also said just now that although the people they had attracted over the years were all in the hands of Zhang Hongjun, their boss had already known that Zhang Hongjun was unreliable and had kept a hand.
, their boss probably also has a list of these people. At this time, as long as the other party anonymously informs someone...
In a short period of time, Chen Ran thought of this. Regardless of whether this was the case or not, he obviously could not sit still and wait for death, so he immediately returned to the bedroom. The strange phone call just now undoubtedly confirmed that the soldiers outside were aimed at him. At this time
Who would call him by such a coincidence? It was an unknown number. It was obviously to let the soldiers outside find his location.
There was only a painting blocking the dark cave, so it was not safe here. After Chen Ran dug out the cell phone battery, he picked up Guan Cheng, picked up his leather bag, and tried not to make any noise, then went down the stairs and returned to the arsenal.
Putting Guan Cheng on the ground, he pulled back the bookcase to block the small door of the arsenal. Chen Ran thought for a moment and then took his bag to the cabinet door where the documents and account books were stored. He first put the cash that Guan Cheng had just stuffed into the bag and returned it.
He took out all the tools he needed and threw them into the cabinet door next to him to make room.
Then Chen Ran stuffed the many documents and account books in the cabinet door and the data cards in the plastic box below into the leather bag.
The leather bag is the kind of leather bag that can be stretched. It is quite loaded. After loading the contents of the cabinet door, Chen Ran opened the door of the cabinet where the antique calligraphy and paintings were stored and stuffed the small objects and diamonds underneath into the leather bag.
inside, but the bag was full even before it was fully stuffed.
Looking at the remaining things and the calligraphy and paintings on the top two floors, Chen Ran felt that if he didn't take away these calligraphy and paintings, they would probably be destroyed, because since the soldiers outside were coming for him, they probably came here just for the purpose.
The person who killed him to silence him and destroy the evidence of his crime would never let anyone see the contents of the cabinet door after discovering the arsenal and the contents of the cabinet door.
To be honest, Chen Ran didn't care about the arms in this arsenal or the cash in other cabinet doors. It wasn't that he didn't care about it, but it was useless for him to have these things. Why would he want these arms? And the money in the cabinet door
The same is true for cash. This cash is obviously black money. After he took it, he would either find a place to put it and then spend it little by little when using the cash or find a way to wash it away.
Speaking of which, he is indeed short of money now, but what he lacks is big money. He is really not short of the small money he spends little by little, and finding a way to launder it is not enough trouble for him. He has the time and energy to launder money.
It's better for him to find ways to make money.
Of course, the most important point is that he can't take away so much cash now, and the villa has not only been discovered but also surrounded by a large army.
Chen Ran didn't care about arms and cash, but he did care about these calligraphy and paintings. It would be a pity if they were destroyed, and in total, these calligraphy and paintings are definitely worth more than the cash here.
So after looking at these calligraphy and paintings, Chen Ran turned around in the arsenal, looked around, then turned back to Guan Cheng and took off his coat.
There were more than twenty paintings and calligraphy. Finally, Chen Ran took off his coat.
The soldiers outside had already carried out a comprehensive investigation in the bedroom outside. Time was running out. After Chen Ran packed up everything he needed to take, he stood up and went to the door to the left and pulled out the lock connecting the two cabinets.
.
After pulling out the upper and lower locks, lift the middle cabinet out and another secret door will appear.
The inside of this secret door was not a secret room but a passage. When Chen Ran discovered the arsenal, he also discovered this secret passage. He had even discovered where the secret passage led.
This was also the reason why he was not in a hurry when he discovered that the soldiers outside were coming towards him.
Chen Ran dragged Guan Cheng to carry the full leather bag and the package tied with two coats and entered the dark hole. After entering the dark hole, he turned around and pulled the cabinet back again, and inserted the lock.
This villa is a secret villa arranged by Zhang Hongjun. This passage is naturally a secret passage that Zhang Hongjun uses to escape. From this point, we can undoubtedly see that Zhang Hongjun appears to be arrogant and domineering but is actually extremely thoughtful and cautious.
It's a pity that he met Chen Ran. His carefulness and caution were of no use to Chen Ran, so that he originally just framed Chen Ran secretly, but was suddenly discovered by Chen Ran and imprisoned by Chief Yang.
Hulao.
A series of things that happened later were obviously related to Zhang Hongjun being imprisoned in Hulao. The people behind Zhang Hongjun did not know that the General Staff valued Chen Ran so much that when Zhang Hongjun was imprisoned in Hulao, they thought that Zhang Hongjun might have been exposed...
There was a strong flashlight hanging behind the cabinet blocking the passage, but Chen Ran didn't use it. Although the passage was pitch dark, his vision was not affected at all.
The passage first went down, then was flat for a while, and then went up. After about a hundred meters, Chen Ran reached the end. There was a small iron gate at the end, and light could be seen faintly through the gap in the iron gate.
Chen Ran opened the small iron door that was locked from the inside and went outside. Outside was a small indoor parking lot. There was only a black car with no visible brand in the parking lot parked in front of the small iron door.
After he came out, he looked back and found that he had come out of a small iron door with a fire protection device.
Chen Ran opened the back door of the black car and stuffed the door and stuff in. The door of the car was unlocked and the key was also inserted in the car.
Chen Ran first went to the front and pushed up the door with the key in it, then returned and opened the driver's door and got in. After a while, the black car drove out of the garage.
This is a slightly larger villa than the one just now. Although the difference between the two is less than 200 meters, they are completely opposite because not only are the two villas not in the same community, they are also separated by a hill.
As soon as Chen Ran drove to the door of the villa and was about to open the door, he heard a roar and then the ground shook, which made him couldn't help but change his expression.
Turning around, he saw that although he couldn't see the scene of the villa just now because he was separated by a villa and a hill, he could see that the sky above the villa just now was full of fire and smoke.
After retreating into the escape passage and exiting the passage, although Chen Ran was still paying attention to the scene in the villa, he only paid attention to the situation in the darkroom. He mainly wanted to see when they would discover the darkroom and how they would deal with it. But in Chen Ran
During random observation, they had not discovered the darkroom until just now.
Chen Ran used his mental energy to explore and saw that the villa just now had been reduced to ruins and a sea of fire. The soldiers surrounding the villa had retreated far away and were lying on the ground.
However, due to the long distance, Chen Ran could not observe everything.
Chen Ran's face was a little gloomy. The other party blew up the villa without discovering the secret room. This was obviously to blow up him and the things in the villa. From this, it was enough to show that one of the people leading the soldiers was someone on the Red Army list. The other party did not find anyone else.
I didn't realize that those things were out of order.
For the opponent, this is a bad move. Although it can be delayed for a while, he will be found out sooner or later. But for Chen Ran, it is obviously a disaster... If Chen Ran does not escape from the villa in time, he will be found out just now.
The power of that bomb would make Chen Ran's skin peel off even if he didn't die.
No, there is a possibility that the bomb was not exploded by the person on the list, but Chen Hu and his boss sent someone to explode the bomb. The other party has been hiding behind the scenes and no one knows his identity, so he is not worried about the incident and the conference will find him.
.
And the purpose of doing this is obviously the same as the purpose of the people on that list, to delay time!
In their imagination, if the villa was bombed, it would be impossible for Chen Ran to survive. Even if the account books and lists were not destroyed, they would be buried in underground ruins. It would take at least several days to clean them out.
With these few days, they can do a lot of things. For example, the people on the list not only have time to transfer their property, but also have time to run abroad. After the villa ruins are cleaned up, if the account books and the list are blown up, they can freely return to the list.
When they come back, if they are cleared out without being blown up, then they will defect directly...
And Chen Hu and his boss can also do a lot of things. For example, although he hides deeply, he will inevitably be involved with some people, and during this time, he can destroy everything and people involved with him. Since he is prepared
If he has a back-up, he must have a list of names, and he can notify these people to defect. While defecting, these crazy people will definitely bring him a large amount of information. In addition, if everything blows up, then he will
He can control these people and continue to work for him...
