Zuo Zhong asked: "Where is Xu Enzeng? He is putting his eldest cousin on the fire, but as long as he personally comes out to make a guarantee, the family members of the special agents should not dare to continue to cause trouble."

Gu Qi looked confused: "That's the reason, but Xu Enzeng hasn't shown up yet. It is said that he is busy with some big case, and people from the secret service headquarters cannot contact him. There may be something fishy about this matter."

Zuo Zhong knew in his heart that Xu Enzeng must be intensifying the interrogation of Xie Jiuwen and his wife. As for minor issues such as riots among his subordinates' families, Director Chen would not argue with him until the underground party was uncovered.

Of course, the person surnamed Xu also means to be a coward. He may not have used the money in any way. It is said that he spent a lot of money on the sister-in-law of a certain second wife, which was quite generous.

Thinking of this, Zuo Zhong chuckled and waved to Gu Qi to get closer: "When you go to do something, you must spread the news. Lao Song's matter is not over yet. You have to give the chief of the department some memory."

After that, he spoke in Gu Qi's ear. Gu Qi nodded while listening. After listening, he ran away with a smile on his face. Zuo Zhong looked at his back with a thoughtful look on his face. Maybe this was a good opportunity.

That night, the family members who were sitting quietly in front of the Bureau of Statistics received explosive news that Xu Enzeng, the director of the Secret Service Headquarters, had embezzled funds from the foundation and ran away with his sister-in-law.

There have long been rumors about the love affair between Director Xu and the tall, fair-skinned sister-in-law. It is said that Xu Enzeng bought him a mansion and a car. Where did he get the money?

This incident completely ignited the anger of all the family members. Under the guidance of enthusiastic people, they broke through the obstruction of the guards at the door, rushed into the bureau headquarters building, and lit a fire inside.

Although the fire was not big and was quickly extinguished by the special agents, the news spread quickly throughout Jinling City. Director Chen, who had already returned home, became furious and ordered Xu Enzeng to come out and explain.

"I don't care what he is doing. Let him go to the bureau headquarters immediately to drive away those unruly people. If it is not done before work tomorrow, your office will be prepared to be inspected. This matter is not negotiable!"

Listening to Director Chen's roar on the phone, Liu Gui was about to cry. Because the mission of Jishi Pharmacy failed, Xu Enzeng excluded him from the interrogation team and asked him to answer the phone at the office.

He thought this was just a casual job, who knew something like this would happen. Xu Enzeng asked him not to contact him casually, but in the face of Director Chen's thunderous wrath, he had no choice but to make a phone call.

"Director, that group of people broke into the bureau headquarters building and set fire to it. Director Chen asked you to go over there immediately to resolve the matter, otherwise an inspector will be sent to our department. Please see how this matter is handled."

Liu Gui finished speaking in one breath and put the phone aside far away. As expected, there was a roar from the other end of the phone. After a long time, he put the phone to his ear again and kept nodding in agreement.

So at ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Enzeng, who was rumored to have run away, appeared at the entrance of the headquarters. He swore and promised, and finally persuaded the secret agent's family to leave, temporarily ending the farce.

"Go, go back, follow carefully."

Xu Enzeng got into the car and gave instructions to the driver. His face was ashen. If it wasn't for the purpose of prying the underground party's mouth open, he would definitely show some shame to these cowardly family members.

To be Xu Enzeng's driver, one must have good mobility and driving skills. The driver skillfully drove circles in Jinling City and even passed through several large government offices and left through a small door.

After wandering around for more than an hour, Xu Enzeng's car appeared on a concrete road. The license plate was different from before. He now wanted to control all uncertainties to a minimum.

Betrayals and leaks broke his heart, so he decided to conduct the interrogation in person, using a borrowed venue and the smallest number of insiders, all to keep it secret.

Except for himself, no one who entered the interrogation room was allowed to leave without permission. With such a foolproof preparation, if the secret could be leaked this time, his name, Xu Enzeng, would be written upside down.

The car stopped along the cement road in front of an elegant round gate. The driver did not press the horn and only flashed the lights twice. Someone ran out from the guard room and opened the iron door, and the car drove in slowly.

The person who opened the door did not close the door immediately. Instead, he walked to the road and looked around to make sure there were no followers nearby. Then he walked back to the gate and locked the iron door. The lights in the guard room were quietly turned off.

Looking at everything in front of him, Zuo Zhong, who had been waiting nearby for a long time, put down the brown paper bag and dried sweet potatoes in his hands, and felt relieved. Xu Enzeng had indeed set the interrogation location here.

His previous judgments were all based on intelligence reasoning. Now that the location was confirmed, what should be done next and whether rescue was possible? Zuo Zhong sat in a dark car and began to analyze.

In terms of strength, there will definitely be no shortage of people in the interrogation room, and Xu Enzeng may have laid a dragnet. If he wants to forcefully save people, it will be like hitting a stone with an egg, which is not feasible.

Even if the Jinling underground party is contacted and the security near the Central Political School is discovered, once the rescue operation is discovered, facing the regular army of a regiment of the 88th Division, the result will probably be worse.

Zuo Zhong closed his eyes. He knew that he could not save Xie Jiuwen and Gu Lan. He had not felt this helpless for a long time. He usually relied on the Secret Service and had no scruples in anything he did.

But this matter was different. He couldn't mobilize the power of the Secret Service and had to rely on himself. After all, one person's power was limited. It was unrealistic to fight against an intelligence agency like the Secret Service Headquarters.

If he had just arrived in this era, he might have chosen to fight to the death, but after experiencing so many things, he knew that this would have no practical effect except to gain Xu En another harvest.

Sometimes, you have to learn to give up.

Zhang Anren probably chose to die with the enemy for his own sake. He could not let his sacrifice become worthless. He had to stay calm, Zuo Zhong started the car and disappeared into the night.

In the following days, Zuo Zhong went to and from get off work normally, collecting all useful information and waiting for contact from the underground party. He knew that there would be no backup contact plan there.

At the same time, he quietly inquired about information about the secret service headquarters, such as whether Xu Enzeng had returned and the number of people eating in a canteen. He wanted to judge the outcome of the interrogation based on these situations.

So these days, Song Minghao was eating, drinking and having fun every day, and sent back one message after another, but none of them were what Zuo Zhong wanted, until the morning of the seventh day after the explosion.

Song Minghao walked into Zuo Zhong's office and said furtively: "Section Chief, Xu Enzeng went back to a certain place last night. It seemed that he didn't do a good job. When he came back, he found trouble and scolded a bunch of unlucky people."

Zuo Zhong felt a pain in his heart. Xie Jiuwen and Gu Lan did not speak. They were tortured by the special agent headquarters for seven days. During this period, what methods would the enemy use to force them to surrender?

Even if he didn't witness it with his own eyes, he could still imagine the scene at that time, especially for Gu Lan. Some of the punishments were terrifying even thinking about them. How did they persevere?

Zuo Chong forced a smile and said: "Oh? It seems that their glorious tradition has not been lost. Even if Xu Enzeng personally leads the team to carry out the mission, it will be the same. Have you found out the specific situation?"

Song Minghao nodded: "A car came to Laohuqiao last night. There were two prisoners in it. They were sent to the highest security cell as soon as they entered. In addition, a hotel is sending two meals to the prison today."

"Meal on the road?"

Zuo Zhong slowed down his speech and tried to make his voice sound normal.

"should be."

Song Minghao lamented: "In the past, we always shot people directly, which is a bit strange."

The two chatted for a while, and Song Minghao left. Zuo Zhong sat at the table and thought for a while, then went directly to Dai Chunfeng's office. He felt that he could at least do one last thing for Xie Jiuwen and Gu Lan.

When Dai Chunfeng heard what he said, he said with a strange expression: "What, you are going to Laohuqiao to see the prisoners at the secret service headquarters and see if you can persuade them to cooperate with us. Are you sure about this?"

Zuo Zhong explained: "I also got the information through Song Minghao's informant in one place. Xu Enzeng has been so active these days, those two prisoners must be of great importance and worth taking a look at.

If they can cooperate with us, Xu Enzeng's face will definitely be disgraced, but the highest security cell in Laohuqiao can only be entered by teachers with your level, so the students came here to ask for instructions."

When Dai Chunfeng heard that Xu Enzeng's face would be tarnished, he immediately made a decision: "Let's go and take a look now. This matter should be done sooner rather than later. There are still a few hours before the execution time, so we can't delay."

Zuo Zhong smiled slightly and hurriedly got into the car with Dai Chunfeng and drove towards Laohuqiao Prison. When he was approaching the prison, Dai Chunfeng suddenly said something, which made Zuo Zhong's heart skip a beat.

Zuo Zhong said: "The rest is in (the author's words), right at the end of the article. If you change it during the day, the number of words will be the same, and there will be no extra deductions."

A person has childhood, adulthood and old age, and I don’t think anyone would think this is unsatisfactory. A day has morning, noon, and sunset, and a year has four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. There is no better way than this.

There is nothing good or bad in life, there is only a question of "what is good in that season".

If we hold this biological concept of life and live according to the seasons, no one except arrogant idiots and hopeless idealists will deny that life is indeed like a poem.

past.

Shakespeare expressed this concept very clearly in his section on the seven stages of life, and many Chinese writers have said similar things.

It is strange that Shakespeare did not become a person rich in religious concepts, nor did he show much concern for religion. I think this is what makes him great;

He looked at life as it was, and he did not disturb the arrangement and organization of things in the world, just as he never disturbed the characters in his plays.

Along the lotus pond, there is a small winding cinder road. This is a secluded road; few people walk during the day, and it is even more lonely at night. There are many trees growing on all sides of the lotus pond, and they are lush. On one side of the road, there are some
