Chapter 3 is blank

  Director Lu came to the earth slope to observe carefully, behind him was County Criminal Police Team's Captain Zhao, also an old soldier, around 40 years old, thin and lean, but with piercing eyes, also observing the terrain carefully.

  Director Lu said: "In a place as small as this, where can he hide?"

  Captain Zhao said I was also puzzled, the only place to hide in the hills is a large tree, which is called a dead ground by soldiers. A reconnaissance platoon leader would not ignore this, unless he had been hit by a fatal blow and his head was not clear.

  Director Lu said, "You're not talking nonsense. A person with a clear head can knock down five people in a row without causing them fatal injuries, walk out of the town government compound calmly, and shoot two rifles out of people's hands without hurting anyone. This Yu Tianlong is bold and meticulous, fearless in the face of danger, and is a good candidate for a reconnaissance soldier. Old Zhao, don't underestimate him."

  Captain Zhao ordered the SWAT team to move up, positioning themselves within 200 meters of the big tree, with their guns trained on the same spot. Director Lu said: "Old Zhao, don't shoot yet, try to capture him alive, I want to see if this kid has grown three heads and six arms, what kind of grievances he's suffered that made him dare to be so reckless."

  Captain Zhao said I would be fine, but that little guy wants to struggle like a trapped beast, and I don't dare guarantee whether he can survive or not. After all, bullets are blind.

  Director Lu said: "Just watch and see, maybe he's better off dead than alive. Some people must be eager for him to die soon."

  Captain Zhao said it's not necessarily so, I always feel that the one who will be shot in the end won't be him.

  Captain Zhao brought a soldier with a loud voice, holding a megaphone and shouting towards the big tree: "Ying Tianlong, listen up! You're surrounded, you can't escape. As a fellow soldier, you're now in a desperate situation, surrender is your only way out. Throw down your gun, raise your hands and surrender, we promise not to harm you."

  He shouted several times, but no one answered.

  Zhao team said to shout again.

  "Ying Tianlong, did you understand? Resistance is futile, surrender is your only choice. If there's any grievance, it can be resolved afterwards. You must trust the government."

  Still no news.

  Director Lu was so angry that he threw his hat to the ground and cursed, "You good-for-nothing Ying Tianlong, you don't drink when offered a toast but instead drink punitive wine. Let's see how long you can hold on."

  Zhao said, "Director Lu, otherwise I'll lead the team to rush up and attack. Anyway, he can't escape now, and still has a lucky psychology. We'll go up and knock down his unrealistic idea, and end this quickly."

  "No way," Lu Yong shook his head, "Didn't you hear Director Zhang's report just now? This kid still has fourteen bullets in his hand, can you bet the lives of fourteen brothers?"

  "What's the point? Charging won't work, and not charging won't solve the problem either. We might as well set up our guns and fire at the big tree, even if it's made of steel," said Zhao.

  Director Lu did not respond, he was also in a state of confusion at this moment. Tianyong must have been wronged, and it was a great injustice, otherwise he would not have taken such a risk. There is no time to investigate now, every minute delayed is a minute of danger, even the Provincial Department's Director Li called to ask about the situation, whether the person has been caught or not. Director Li repeatedly emphasized on the phone that the matter was serious and had a bad impact, it was related to stability and peace on one side, and also related to the spirit of building a harmonious society, when it should be cut off, don't be soft-handed.

  Alright, this is an order of death.

  Orders must be carried out through his hands, even if it's a death row prisoner, the case must be clarified before the execution is carried out. No matter how confusing it is, with one order, thousands of guns will fire at once. Once a person dies, all the dirty water can be poured on his head, and what was reasonable becomes unreasonable. The real culprit escapes punishment, how will the masses view this?

  Director Lu's face turned bright red, unable to think of a good solution.

  Zhao's team looked at him, everyone was looking at him.

  Director Lu said to bring it, he snatched the loudspeaker and shouted: "Ying Tianlong, you son of a bitch, even if you have a great grievance, you must come out and explain clearly. If you don't come out, I'll shoot, bullets don't have eyes, who do you think you are, the Matrix? Can't kill you, I'll give you five more minutes, decide for yourself."

  Time passed minute by minute, and people's hearts beat along with it. Five minutes had passed, but there was still complete silence.

  "Director Lu gritted his teeth and said: 'Fire at will.'"

  As soon as the words fell, thousands of guns fired at once, bullets whizzed towards the big tree, hitting it with shattered branches and leaves flying everywhere, smoke filled the air, several birds hiding in the branches were hit by bullets and disintegrated instantly.

  The gunfire suddenly stopped as if under someone's command, a giant tree was shot with thousands of holes, and the ground was covered with broken branches.

  No one was seen falling from the tree, nor even a ghostly figure.

  Director Lu was stunned, Captain Zhao was also stunned. After fighting for half a day, it turned out that there was no one on the tree at all, and they were firing blanks.

  "Come with me," said Captain Zhao, standing up angrily.

  The police rushed over together and searched carefully, and there was someone there.

  Director Lu summoned Minister Zhang and scolded: "You, Zhang Fushun, you are a liar who falsifies military information. You know what kind of responsibility you will bear."

  Director Zhang was so frightened that he stuttered: "Lu, Lu, Director Lu, I swear to heaven and earth, he definitely didn't run far. I saw him with my own eyes entering the mountain slope and then disappearing from view. All of our militia and police officers can testify to this."

  Luosuo Chang also nodded desperately.

  Director Lu said this was strange, could he be a fugitive who can escape by digging into the ground?

  Just then, a loud noise came from above, and a helicopter slowly descended, stirring up clouds of dust that made it impossible to open one's eyes.

  Dust fell to the ground, and a person jumped out of the helicopter. When people noticed the bright red August 1st military emblem on the aircraft, they understood who had arrived.

  This man is about twenty-seven or eight years old, tall and strong, wearing a camouflage uniform, walking briskly, moving like the wind, and suddenly appearing in front of the crowd. He looks calm and composed, with piercing eyes, his slightly darkened face handsome and elegant, his whole body seemingly full of power, this power is not superficial, it comes from within, it's aura, courage, a kind of indestructible steel-like bravery.

  "He asked in a low voice, yet with great force: 'May I ask who is the highest leader here?'"

  Director Lu took a look at him and thought to himself, "Good, he's definitely a soldier. Just from his two piercing eyes and the power of masculinity and determination that radiates from every part of his body, it can be seen that this person is not ordinary."

  "I am Lu Yong, Director of the County Public Security Bureau."

  That man stood at attention, gave Lu Ju a standard military salute: "My surname is Feng, Feng Ai Jun, commander of the T Wild Battle Army Scout Regiment. Xiang Tian Long is my subordinate officer. I heard he made a big mistake, and the chief of staff specifically instructed me to come and assist in resolving the conflict."

  Director Lu let out a sigh, thinking that he had made a big mistake, no, not just a big mistake, but a capital offense. Well, the troops have arrived, and it's Tianlong's superior officer. His superior will definitely give him face, and won't point his gun at his own battalion commander.

  Captain Zhao briefly reported what had just happened to Feng Aijun. Feng Aijun looked at the big tree in front of him and said, "Can I go take a look?"

  "Please," Zhao said.

  Feng Ai Jun walked towards the big tree, no one followed him, because after a thorough search it was impossible for anyone to be alive there. This handsome soldier wanted to see what and prove what, nobody went to care about it.

  Feng Ai Jun arrived in front of the big tree, looked up and took a glance, then circled around the tree and stopped at the edge of the mud pit. In a soft voice, as if muttering to himself, he said: "Ying Tian Long, you've become quite skilled, hiding yourself so well that you're on the verge of death but still alive. I'll give you ten minutes to explain, make it clear and I'll think about what to do next. If you can't make sense, get out here immediately and follow me honestly."

  Still no movement, but a voice was talking to Feng Ai Jun: "Captain, I really have no choice. You know my sister Ying Feng Jue, she's dead, and my father is also dead from anger. Their bodies are still lying in the village, not buried yet. It's not that I don't want to bury them, but the murderer hasn't been caught, they can't rest their eyes."

  "Go on."

  "Captain, I showed you my sister's photo. It was to show that I have such a beautiful sister. My mother passed away early, and my sister became the only female in our household taking care of me and loving me. We grew up together, relying on each other for survival, and our feelings are deeper than the ocean."

  "My sister was two years older than me, she was still so young, and there were still so many things to do, now she's dead, what a pity, died with her eyes open."

  As Yu Tianlong spoke with a sorrowful and indignant tone, things gradually became clear.

  Ying Feng Jue, also known as Ying Tian Long's sister, has indeed fulfilled this saying that "beauty is a short-lived fate".

  In a poor village, a rose blooms; in the deep mountains, a phoenix rises. If one were to say that Ying Tianlong is already a handsome young man, standing alongside Ying Fengju would make people's eyes focus on her instead. Men would be left staring, while women would turn away in self-admiration. With an innocent face and a heavenly demeanor, Ying Fengju stands out from the crowd. Her entire countenance is delicate and lovely, pure and tender, like a lotus flower emerging from the water with not a speck of dust on it. She seems completely untouched by worldly desires.

  What's most important is her kindness and diligence, earning the praise of everyone in the village. A woman should be like Ying Feng Jiu, a daughter should be born like Ying Feng Jiu, this is what people in Longguan Village say.

  The matchmaker steps over the threshold, and responds to good fortune. A hundred families ask for a daughter who is born beautiful and has a good temperament, but no one forces her to do anything. This lovely rose, regardless of everything, has her own autonomy, just like Fengju's status at home.

  It was also her fate to have a calamity, and she happened to meet Li Nandu, the town mayor of Longguan Town.

  Li Nan had a bad habit, he was a sex addict, loved drinking and indulged in it excessively. In Longguan Town, any woman with some charm would avoid him, if they couldn't avoid him, they had no choice, after all, he was the town head, holding the power of life and death, countless women were toyed with by him, but dared not speak out in anger.

  Ying Fengju went to the town government to do things for her father, and happened to meet Li Nandou. The stunning Li Nandou used despicable means to humiliate Ying Fengju. Ying Fengju was a fiery woman who gritted her teeth and said: "Li Nandou, wait for me, I will report you."

  His father cried out to the town mayor Li Nandou's beastly behavior. Li Jicheng was furious, scolding "beast not as good as beast" and personally came to the town government to reason with Li Nandou. Li Nandou refused to see him, and his secretary came out saying: "Old man, you still have the nerve to come here and cause trouble, your daughter seduced our mayor, trying to use her charm to threaten him, the problem is already very serious, Mayor Li doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, after all it's your family's shame, family shame shouldn't be made public, you've lived so many years and still don't know that? Go back, go back."

  Ying Jicheng's face turned red with rage, his whole body trembling. He pointed at the secretary and said "You, you, you're talking nonsense, turning black into white!" As he spoke, he took a step forward, about to slap the secretary in the mouth. The secretary dodged to one side, and Li Nandou came down from upstairs saying: "What's all the commotion? What kind of scene is this? This is the town government, not your family's kang!"

  Ying Jicheng said: "Li Nandou, you beast, return my daughter's innocence."

  Li Nandu sneered coldly: "You old thing, you have no shame. Your daughter seduced a revolutionary cadre, her crime is unforgivable. You dare to turn around and bite back? Take him away!"

  The secretary came up and pushed, Ying Jicheng suddenly spat out blood and fell down, it was anger, people saw that he couldn't hold on anymore.

  The old man died in the hospital. Ying Feng-ju hanged herself at home.

  Alas, in the blink of an eye, two lives were lost. They died with a label of seducing a cadre and harming themselves to death out of shame. Where is justice?
