500 “AV Shooting Guide” 463: People included in the protection list

Wonton stall.

“Captain Zhang, please go first.” The young man smiled stupidly and pushed the hot wontons that had just come out of the pot in front of Zhang Xiaodong. Instead of waiting for Captain Zhang’s favor, he got a hard blow on the forehead.

“What did you call me?”

“Brother Zhang.” The team member looked around aggrievedly, “Isn’t there no one here?”

“Regardless of whether there are people or not, plainclothes officers must behave like ordinary people whenever they go on a mission.” Zhang Xiaodong glanced at him and said, “Eat.”

The team member drank from his bowl carefully: “Brother Zhang, this is my first time with Professor Zhou’s team. I heard that Professor Zhou is the most kind person and has few problems. Is this true?”

“Yeah.”

“That’s OK.” The team member breathed a sigh of relief, “I was in Political Commissar Chen’s guard before. He was very troublesome. He treated us like servants. We had to do things for him at every turn. If we didn’t do it well, we would get scolded… It’s not that we don’t want to do it, but what if we encounter something and we can’t protect him in time?”

Zhang Xiaodong swallowed the hot soup and let out a long sigh of relief: “I advise you to go back and serve Political Commissar Chen.”

The team members were confused: “Huh?”

Zhang Xiaodong put down the bowl and looked at him with a half-smile: “Do you know why Professor Zhou’s guard team is three times the number of others?”

“Isn’t this… because he has made outstanding contributions to the country?”

“Shit.” Zhang Xiaodong sneered, “As long as he doesn’t go abroad, what big danger can there be in the heavily-garrisoned imperial capital of China? Is it worth having three shifts to watch him all the time? Is it worth giving him an electronic shackle-like thing to send coordinates every two hours? There are several old scientists who have made more contributions than Professor Zhou, so why is Professor Zhou being treated like this?”

The team members were speechless, and Zhang Xiaodong said leisurely: “Because not only do we have to protect him, we also have to guard against him.”

“Preventing Professor Zhou?” The team member’s expression looked strange, “This… Professor Zhou’s thigh seems not as thick as my arm, right? I think Professor Zhou might die if I punch him.”

“So you are just a soldier.” Zhang Xiaodong commented venomously, “What’s the point of using force? Professor Zhou can move his fingers, and three hundred of you will be wiped out.”

“But, what does this have to do with guarding against him? Even if Professor Zhou designs a powerful weapon, he can’t use it against his own people, right?”

“That’s the crux of the problem.” Zhang Xiaodong looked up at the sky, “Professor Zhou is too smart. Ordinary people can’t understand his ideas if he is so smart. He is thinking about higher-level things. You cannot restrain him with artificially created concepts such as country, family, and honor.”

Zhang Xiaodong thought for a while: “Let’s put it this way, if a flying saucer suddenly appeared in the sky, and the alien inside said to Professor Zhou, as long as you are willing to destroy the world, I will tell you the truth of the universe… Hey, maybe he will actually do that.”

The team member stupidly stirred the cold wontons in the bowl: “Then, can I still apply for transfer?”

“Coward.” Zhang Xiaodong sneered, “You are less courageous than a rabbit. Think carefully about why we are here.”

“…Because Professor Zhou is at the Qin family, according to the team’s regulations, we have to be on guard within three kilometers of him.”

“Then why is Professor Zhou going to Qin’s house? Don’t tell me we are friends. Professor Zhou has no friends.”

The team members couldn’t answer.

“You’re still young. You’ll understand if you follow me for a while.” Zhang Xiaodong smiled mysteriously. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. “It’s almost time. Come back to the team and prepare to receive the coordinates.”

The guard’s temporary camp is a nearby guest house. Generally, as long as they are stationed in one place for a long time, the guard will use the identity they have prepared long ago to hide from others. Otherwise, a group of fully armed soldiers suddenly appearing in a certain place will be too conspicuous.The people in the guest house only knew that they were sent by the superiors to investigate solar energy, and their official rank seemed to be quite high. Other than that, they knew nothing else.

After entering the room, Zhang Xiaodong’s first sentence was to ask about Professor Zhou’s situation. The team member guarding the computer reported that because the distance was too far, body signals such as heart rate could not be received. This was normal. Zhang Xiaodong nodded and said he understood.

“Ready to receive today’s 10th coordinate.”

“Yes!” The team member quickly opened an electronic device similar to a laptop and entered a long password to unlock it. A three-dimensional view of the Qin family manor was displayed on the screen, and a small red dot flashed in the restaurant.

“I was eating two hours ago. I should be in my room now, right?” the team member said to himself.

Zhang Xiaodong gave him another spoonful on the back of his head: “Don’t speculate, just record it carefully.”

The team members did not dare to say anything anymore.

When the time came, Zhang Xiaodong stared at the screen. The original red dot gradually dimmed and went out, and new coordinates were being generated.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

The screen was completely gray, with only the three-dimensional image flashing from time to time, but the red dot never appeared.

The team member said awkwardly: “What’s going on recently? The signal is always fluttery.”

Zhang Xiaodong didn’t say a word. He stared at the screen tightly, as if he wanted to see two holes in the screen.

“No.” He stood up suddenly and wanted to shout but suppressed it immediately, “Send a message to all the team members and go up the mountain immediately to Qin’s house! The movement must be quiet and don’t alert the people in the guest house!”

The people in the room took action immediately, no one spoke, and nothing went out of order. Just like changing tires on a car during an F1 competition, everyone performed their duties in an orderly manner. Within ten seconds, all personnel and equipment were ready to go, and they could walk away.

Zhang Xiaodong made a gesture, and a dozen people moved silently towards the guest house door.

At this time, the team member responsible for guarding the house hurriedly caught up: “Captain, what if the people at the guest house find out?”

Zhang Xiaodong kept walking: “I just said I was going on an inspection.”

The team member looked sad: “Where can I inspect solar energy at night?”

Zhang Xiaodong scolded him: “What the hell do you do with a brain? The sun can’t emit light, but the moon can’t? Is it possible to draw inferences from one example?”

After saying that, he jumped into the car, and the military truck disguised as a civilian truck stepped on the accelerator and drove away. The team members guarding the home took a sniff of the car exhaust and could only cough in the dust.

Qin family.

Qin Ruicheng and Taotao were staring at each other.

Taotao: “Brother, don’t you want to give me a lecture?”

Qin Ruicheng: “Who doesn’t?”

Taotao: “Neither.”

Qin Ruicheng twitched his lips: “That’s not possible. Even a gold medal tutor can’t teach you, let alone me.”

Taotao looked at her watch and leaned over in a flattering manner: “Brother, please play games with me.”

Qin Ruicheng: “You can play by yourself and don’t bother me.”

Taotao shrank his neck, he was still quite afraid of this brother, even though the two of them had only met a few times in total.Probably the child’s natural instinct came into play, knowing that if Qin Ruicheng was offended, not even his mother could protect him.

Qin Ruicheng sat for a while, feeling extremely irritated for some reason. He wanted to go find Xiao Qiao, but the eldest lady was outside, and it was grandma who asked the brothers to get closer to each other. It was unreasonable for him not to sit with the little kid for an entire hour.

Too bored, he started to send text messages to Qiao Qiao, but after sending three or four messages in a row, nothing happened.

Hold.

Qin Ruicheng cursed secretly, it must be Zhou Yuanchuan’s fault. Ever since he came, he has been unlucky. He is really a bad guy.

After sitting for nearly an hour, Qin Ruicheng suddenly heard Xiaobai’s cry outside.

Xiaobai is a very smart dog. He will not bark for no reason, and this kind of sound is usually made when he encounters a threat. Is Xiaobai afraid?

Qin Ruicheng stood up and went to the floor-to-ceiling window to look down. He couldn’t see anything clearly in the darkness. He said to Taotao, “I’ve finished tutoring. If you still don’t know, ask the teacher”, he turned around and left the study.

The eldest lady outside the study was surprised to see him coming out, and subconsciously stopped her: “Ruicheng, have you finished tutoring so soon? Taotao still has a few papers to finish–”

Qin Ruicheng: “Aunt, I’m going to the toilet.”

The eldest wife: “There is a guard in the study.”

Qin Ruicheng: “I can’t get used to it.”

After saying that, without waiting for the eldest lady’s reaction, he quickly went down the stairs.

The servants were running around in panic in the front hall. Qin Ruicheng frowned: “Why are you panicking? What happened? Where is Uncle Zhou?”

A maid hurriedly stopped: “It seems someone has broken in. Uncle Zhou is at the front door.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Uncle Zhou came in. At the same time, there were three fully armed soldiers. They were all wearing professional tactical vests and each had a QBZ-03. They were menacing and malicious.

Qin Ruicheng didn’t know Zhang Xiaodong, but he knew that Zhou Yuanchuan had a guard team, but this team usually didn’t come out. If they came to the door, something must have happened.

Thinking back to the fact that the eldest wife suddenly proposed that she should tutor her son with homework… Qin Ruicheng clicked his tongue in annoyance and walked quickly to those people.

Qin Ruicheng: “What’s wrong with Zhou Yuanchuan?”

Zhang Xiaodong knew Qin Ruicheng and knew his identity, so his tone was quite polite: “Professor Zhou is missing. The last coordinate was at your restaurant two hours ago. In order to ensure Professor Zhou’s safety, we must search. Please understand.”

Qin Ruicheng was about to ask something when the old lady came.

The old lady was in good spirits and had an extraordinary bearing. Although she needed a private doctor to help her get downstairs, her dignity was not compromised at all.

Zhang Xiaodong also saluted her with his feet together. After all, the entire business world would tremble if the Qin family stomped their feet. Collusion between politics and business has been a millennium tradition, so he still had to give her some face.

“Who are you?” The old lady glanced at Zhang Xiaodong and the two people behind him sternly, “The Qin family does not allow you to act wildly.”

The team member took a step forward to speak, but Zhang Xiaodong stretched out an arm to stop him: “We are Professor Zhou’s guards, and I am the captain. We are affiliated with the Ministry of National Security, and our responsibility is to protect Professor Zhou’s safety. There is only so much I can say.”

The eldest lady who had just arrived was relieved when she heard this and said with a smile: “Are you looking in the wrong place? I don’t have Professor Zhou at home?”

Zhang Xiaodong said expressionlessly: “Professor Zhou’s full name is Zhou Yuanchuan, and he is an important scientist listed on the national protection list.”
