He Xu didn't expect Gu Chen to be here. He almost thought he had hit a ghost, and he said "Ah" in fright.
Gu Chen said calmly: "Why are you leaving so fast?"
"I... wasn't I thinking that I could go there early and find Zhou Xiaotong?"
"He Xu, you'd better be honest with me. Do you think you can escape from our clutches? Unlocking your handcuffs is a sign of trust in you. You'd better be patient with me."
"Yes, yes." When faced with Gu Chen's questioning, He Xu didn't dare to make any mistakes.
Last time in this dense forest, He Xu had already realized that he had encountered a master of counter-reconnaissance.
Especially in the fog, being able to maintain such high-intensity endurance is something that most people cannot do.
This made He Xu very clear that he, a senior outdoor person, seemed not to be that outstanding in front of Gu Chen.
And standing in front of him was a master who was evenly matched with him.
"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei, who also saw Gu Chen and He Xu staying here, rushed over with other staff and hurriedly came closer.
When she came to Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei was panting and couldn't help but said: "Why are you walking so fast? We can hardly keep up."
"Take a rest first." Gu Chen saw that everyone looked a little tired, so he suggested to rest here.
Lu Weiwei glanced at the people behind her, and then shouted loudly: "Follow me, let's take a rest here."
Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha, Ding Liang, Huang Zunlong, and the trainee police officers who arrived one after another gathered around Gu Chen and took a short rest.
Gu Chen looked at the color drawings and knew very clearly that this place was very close to the area where He Xu said Zhou Xiaotong was imprisoned.
However, due to the complex terrain and numerous vegetation here, Gu Chen was not sure how to find the trapped Zhou Xiaotong.
So he pulled He Xu forward and asked, "How far is it from where you imprison Zhou Xiaotong?"
He Xu looked around and quickly replied: "We should be there soon, we may still have to walk for half an hour."
Hearing that there was still half an hour to go, Officer Wang on the side cried bitterly: "You are really talented, you can build a secret base so far away."
"After all, it is a life-saving place. Of course it should be hidden, especially the harder it is to find it, the better." Hearing Officer Wang's words, He Xu quickly replied.
Gu Chen looked around and continued to urge: "Everyone has almost rested. There is only half an hour left. Let's get there as soon as possible."
"Yes." Upon hearing Gu Chen's order, several trainee police officers immediately stood up from the ground.
Not long after we rested, we had to start immediately again. Everyone felt that such high intensity was really uncomfortable.
So Gu Chen asked He Xu to walk in front, while he followed behind, while the large army followed him.
After everyone climbed over a hillside, they suddenly found that they had arrived at a cliff path.
He Xu quickly reminded: "There is a cliff on the right, and the drop is relatively large. You'd better be careful and grab the rocks and plants on the left with your hands."
After the words fell, He Xu took the lead and walked over.
Due to the lighting and the night environment, the surroundings became pitch black.
In fact, this makes the cliffside path look less scary.
Gu Chen and others followed He Xu to the middle of the cliff path.
But at this moment, He Xu did not continue to move forward, but stopped in the middle.
Gu Chen looked confused and asked him quickly: "Why don't you leave?"
"No need to go forward." He Xu replied while already pulling away the trees and vines on the edge of the cliff.
At this moment, Gu Chen discovered that there were many artificially dug steps behind the trees and vines.
These steps can only accommodate half the size of a foot.
He Xu explained to Gu Chen: "Climb up from here and climb over the cliff here."
"From here?" Lu Weiwei stepped forward, shined the flashlight twice, and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Did you dig this place?"
"I dug it so that I could climb up by myself." He Xu said.
Gu Chen didn't care too much and continued to urge: "Then you lead the way."
"Okay." He Xu nodded and took the lead to put away the flashlight. Then, under the cover of the lights of Gu Chen and others, he began to climb towards the top of the cliff with rocks and vines in his hands.
Gu Chen followed closely behind, and then everyone used lights to cover each other and began to climb up the cliff.
After about ten minutes, everyone climbed to the top of the cliff.
At this time, everyone discovered that the steep mountain road at the foot of the mountain was a bit scary.
The good thing is that we are walking on this cliff at night. If it is broad daylight, it would be a disaster for people who are afraid of heights.
"Where is Zhou Xiaotong?" Standing at the top of the cliff, Gu Chen turned to ask He Xu.
He Xu quickly pointed to a place in front of him and said: "Just at the bottom of the mountain, there is a natural rock cave over there, and Zhou Xiaotong is locked up there."
"Let's go." Gu Chen didn't care too much. The most important thing now was to rescue Zhou Xiaotong.
So Gu Chen still let He Xu walk in front.
This time it is a downhill road, the whole road is relatively gentle, but you need to pay attention to the sliding of gravel under your feet.
After another seven or eight minutes of walking down the mountain, Gu Chen followed He Xu to the entrance of the cave.
At this moment, Gu Chen used a flashlight to shine in the direction of the cave.
Since there seemed to be some corners inside the cave, Gu Chen couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
But just as Gu Chen was about to walk in, Officer Wang grabbed him: "Gu Chen, don't go over there yet, let him go ahead."
Gu Chen glanced at He Xu beside him and motioned for He Xu to walk ahead.
Then, everyone followed He Xu to the entrance of the cave.
At this moment, everyone also heard a faint movement from inside the cave, and everyone immediately became alert.
"Besides Zhou Xiaotong, is there anyone else here?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"There is no one else." He Xu shook his head.
After hearing this, Gu Chen felt relieved and began to use a flashlight to illuminate the path, slowly walking towards the inside of the cave.
At this moment, all kinds of garbage have been scattered on the ground, and the surroundings are filled with the rotten smell of garbage.
Gu Chen covered his mouth and nose and continued walking inside.
At this time, Gu Chen finally discovered that Zhou Xiaotong was huddled in a corner inside the cave, with iron chains on his feet.
Since the inside of the cave is relatively dark, there are no lights.
So when Gu Chen's strong flashlight illuminated the entire cave, Zhou Xiaotong still buried her head under her hands, not daring to raise her head to look at the light source.
Through the shadow on the wall, what Gu Chen saw was a haggard Zhou Xiaotong.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen stood in front of Zhou Xiaotong and said slowly: "Zhou Xiaotong."
As if hearing a familiar voice, Zhou Xiaotong raised his head slightly.
"Is that you Zhou Xiaotong?" Gu Chen continued to shout a second time, and shined the flashlight in another direction to avoid direct strong light on Zhou Xiaotong.
At this moment, the flashlight light reflected on Zhou Xiaotong's body with a weak light source through the reflection on the wall, which allowed Zhou Xiaotong to slowly open his eyes.
When Zhou Xiaotong slowly removed his hands, he realized that standing in front of him were a group of men and women wearing police uniforms.
"Are you... the police?" Zhou Xiaotong asked in a weak voice.
"Yes, I am Gu Chen, from the Furong Branch of Jiangnan City. We met once at the restaurant opposite the Haidong City Public Security Bureau, and again on the high-speed train to Jiangnan City."
Gu Chen began to help Zhou Xiaotong and review the scene where everyone met.
At this time, Zhou Xiaotong seemed to be mentally damaged.
But when he heard Gu Chen's name, his eyes suddenly became moist. It took him a long time to recall the image of Gu Chen, and he choked up and said:
"Gu Chen? Is it really you, Gu Chen?"
"Yes, we are here to rescue you." Gu Chen said.
But just when Gu Chen was about to step forward to check Zhou Xiaotong's injuries, Zhou Xiaotong suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that He Xu was standing beside him.
Out of conditioned reflex, Zhou Xiaotong screamed in fright. He huddled in the corner like a demon, hid his head in the corner, and shouted loudly:
"Don't come here, don't come here, please don't come here."
Gu Chen was also startled by Zhou Xiaotong's situation and froze on the spot. But when he turned around and thought about it, he glanced at He Xu next to him and then used his eyes to remind him.
The two trainee policemen understood and immediately took He Xu to one side.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha hurried forward, patted Zhou Xiaotong's emaciated body, and said comfortingly:
"Xiaotong, it's okay, we are here to save you."
"I'm scared, I'm scared!"
Zhou Xiaotong's voice trembled, like a frightened cat at the moment.
Perhaps it was because He Xu had threatened Zhou Xiaotong with death threats, which caused great mental trauma to Zhou Xiaotong.
Therefore, when Zhou Xiaotong saw someone who had violated her again, or even someone who wanted to kill her, Zhou Xiaotong would subconsciously become excited.
When Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha slapped Zhou Xiaotong's body, Zhou Xiaotong would also tremble violently.
In the end, it was Lu Weiwei who held Zhou Xiaotong in her arms, patted Zhou Xiaotong's head repeatedly, and comforted her for a while, and then Zhou Xiaotong calmed down.
Looking at the chains on Zhou Xiaotong's feet, Gu Chen turned to look at He Xu and asked, "Where is the key?"
"Here." At this moment, He Xu didn't dare to resist at all, so he directly took out the key and handed it to Gu Chen.
Without saying a word, Gu Chen immediately knelt down and unshackled Zhou Xiaotong.
With the sound of the iron chain falling to the ground, Zhou Xiaotong seemed to have calmed down.
Gu Chen looked around and found that the food and water here were scattered around Zhou Xiaotong. At this time, there seemed to be very little food and water left.
It was hard for Gu Chen to imagine that if he had come a few days later, would Zhou Xiaotong have starved to death here?
The key is that He Xu has decided to let Zhou Xiaotong fend for himself here, which seems cruel.
Seeing that Zhou Xiaotong's mood began to stabilize, Gu Chen asked two trainee police officers to take He Xu and leave first.
Finally, everyone took turns to provide psychological counseling to Zhou Xiaotong, which allowed Zhou Xiaotong to slowly calm down from the excitement.
…
…
The next morning, 7:50 am.
As the criminal investigation team officers came to the office one after another, everyone began to discuss it heatedly.
A trainee police officer asked Gu Chen: "Gu Bureau, I heard that you found Zhou Xiaotong last night?"
"That's right." Gu Chen nodded slightly and said truthfully:
"It took a lot of time yesterday to find Zhou Xiaotong from the mountains and forests, and immediately sent her to a nearby hospital."
"Those of us have been busy all night, and finally Zhou Xiaotong's condition has improved. She is still hospitalized, and it will probably take a few days to return to normal."
"The physical state can be restored, but the mental state is hard to say." Officer Wang couldn't help but explain while drinking his own wolfberry tea.
Lu Weiwei also nodded silently: "Isn't that right? After suffering such a blow, I really don't know if Zhou Xiaotong can survive it in the future."
"Sometimes, I really worry about people like her. Being too close to this kind of criminal gang is really not good for her."
"What's more, she is still doing accounting for this criminal gang. How can she not think about such an important matter? Once she leaves this criminal gang, can they let her go?"
Speaking of this, Lu Weiwei also sighed heavily, feeling that Zhou Xiaotong was quite pathetic.
Yuan Shasha on the side also echoed: "Zhou Xiaotong's original family is actually miserable enough."
"She worked really hard to pay off her father's debts. Moreover, she had just broken up with her boyfriend of several years ago, so she was physically and mentally exhausted."
"Now, she was deceived by these people again, and violated by that beast He Xu. She was locked up in a deep mountain and old forest and left to fend for herself."
"This kind of physical and mental damage really cannot be recovered in a day or two."
With a heavy sigh, Yuan Shasha said helplessly: "I really don't know, what will Zhou Xiaotong do in the future?"
Everyone deeply sympathizes with Zhou Xiaotong's experience.
Picking up the thermos cup on the table, Officer Wang took a small sip, closed the lid, and continued:
"Actually, there are two things that we can't let go of the most in our lives, money and love. We work from dawn to dusk for money, and we work hard for love."
"But in the end, you can't take the money away, and you can't keep the love."
"But without money, we can't move forward. Without love, we can't live without money."
With a faint sigh, Officer Wang couldn't help but sigh: "How much money is enough? How deep is this love to be unforgettable? No one knows."
"As the saying goes, asking for too much money will hurt your body, and falling deeply in love will make you sad."
"Working hard for money, flying moths to the flame for love, once this person's heart is trapped in the cage of desire, he will be a prisoner wherever he goes in life."
"When desires are satisfied, you will be happy; if you are not satisfied, you will be miserable. If you cannot control your desires reasonably, then you will become a slave of desires."
With a sigh, Officer Wang also leaned on his seat, looked up at the ceiling and said:
"In all things, too much is too much. One thought can turn into a devil, and one thought can turn into a god. Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite. Everyone has ashes at the bottom of the pot, including me. We are all the same."
"If you have a thatched hut, live the life of a thatched hut; if you have a high-rise building, live the life of a high-rise building."
"Cherish yourself, live in the present, cherish fate as it comes, and let it go."
"A low-end life, a high-end soul, don't be obsessed with money, don't be a prisoner of love."
"It's okay to smile about things and people in the past, but to do things and people now, just do your best."
"The so-called snap of your fingers, live in the moment, do your best, just let it go, live according to your mood, and clear away too many worldly distractions in time, this is the real life."
"But these realms are difficult for ordinary people to achieve." Lu Weiwei said.
"It's not difficult." Officer Wang waved his hand and said involuntarily: "People nowadays, especially these young people, are more open-minded."
"Many of the problems that seem heartbreaking are nothing to them."
"Ha ha."
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter again.
While everyone was laughing, they found that Gu Chen was still sitting in his original position, quietly looking at the file.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei also came over and asked, "Junior Brother Gu, do you think this is the case?"
"Absolutely." Gu Chen smiled faintly and couldn't help but said:
"The issue we just discussed is actually a form of cracking the involution."
"In the end, whatever you believe in, you can become. The two most terrifying words in the world are persistence and seriousness."
"A serious person changes himself, a persistent person changes his destiny. As long as he is on the road, there is no place he cannot reach."
After thinking for a while, Gu Chen said again: "It's like, many of the things we learned back then were actually already there, but we didn't understand them at the beginning."
"Really?" When Yuan Shasha heard this, she also asked Gu Chen curiously: "What does Senior Brother Gu mean?"
"The Chinese text in our school back then." Gu Chen said.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other, as if they didn't understand what Gu Chen meant.
Of course, Gu Chen didn't show off, but said straightforwardly: "Actually, it's nothing?"
"Now that I think about it, there was not a single text in the Chinese textbooks back then that was sufficient."
"It's just that we were so busy rushing on the road at that time that we forgot to explore the true meaning. This is the immediacy and delay of education."
"That's good." Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door.
Everyone turned around and saw that the person coming was Zhao Guozhi, so everyone immediately stood up straight.
Gu Chen also quickly stepped forward and said: "Bureau Zhao."
"Gu Chen, I haven't thought much about what you just said."
Patting Gu Chen's shoulder, Zhao Guozhi said again: "But looking back and thinking about it, it is indeed the case."
"Education is very important to each of us. For example, if a thousand people read an article in a Chinese textbook, they will have a thousand understandings."
"But in fact, the truth is to teach you how to be a good person. Ordinary people can indeed change their destiny through reading, but class crossing is not impossible in this era."
"The key is, are you prepared when the opportunity is presented to you?"
Looking around, Zhao Guozhi continued to ask in a meaningful tone: "When an opportunity is presented to you, ask yourself, are you... ready?"
After the words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at each other and seemed to feel that there was something in Zhao Guozhi's words?
Lu Weiwei grinned and quickly changed the subject: "Director Zhao, you came to our criminal investigation team this early in the morning, didn't you just want to talk to us about the truth?"
"Haha." After hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Zhao Guozhi just laughed twice before returning to the topic:
"I only learned last night that you have returned to Jiangnan City. Because I had a meeting in the province yesterday, I don't know the specific situation."
"But when I returned to Jiangnan City late last night, I heard that you had returned and that you had also destroyed the criminal gang in Haidong City?"
"Yes, basically all the criminal gangs in Haidong City have been wiped out." Officer Wang quickly agreed.
Zhao Guozhi was stunned for two seconds, then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he couldn't help but said: "Well done, I didn't expect that you could complete this mission so well?"
"Actually, I also received a call from Li Muyun in Haidong City. Only then did I know that my subordinates were showing off their skills in the sister city again and made our Furong Branch look bad."
