Chapter 324: Captured
Guo Hai swiftly lunged toward the window sill.
This was an attempt to jump out the window and escape.
After all, there were no public security officers here, nor did anyone bring weapons, so no one could capture him.
But before that, Old Hu and them had already discussed it.
If Guo Hai really was a local special agent, he would definitely fight back like a cornered animal, either perishing together with everyone or escaping.
So when the transmitter appeared inside the floorboard crushed by Lu Qiaoge, Cadre Liu was already poised and ready.
He first shouted loudly: “You all withdraw quickly.”
Then he lunged toward Guo Hai’s direction.
How could Lu Qiaoge give Guo Hai the opportunity to escape?
She wouldn’t give Guo Hai the chance to harm everyone, and she certainly wouldn’t let these people be placed in danger.
She could guarantee one hundred percent the safety of everyone, and guarantee capturing Guo Hai.
There was no what-if.
Only certainty and definiteness!
When Cadre Liu lunged over, Lu Qiaoge had already lunged forward.
She reached out and grabbed Guo Hai’s back collar, yanking the person down from the window sill.
Cadre Liu had already rushed up, and with nimble and practiced movements, he pressed his knee against Guo Hai’s lower back, then twisted his arms behind his back, took off the handcuffs from his waist, and cuffed him.
Cadre Liu was from the public security office, and now the public security office had two people.
One was Cadre Li, who was recuperating from an injury sustained during the spring river-opening rescue operations.
The other was him.
He had the qualification to carry a gun and naturally also had handcuffs, but today they were in the local area, going to Wangjiang Shoe Factory, so Cadre Liu naturally couldn’t bring a gun.
So he brought handcuffs.
In just over ten seconds, before some people could even react, the fleeing Guo Hai was secured.
Then the people in the room all withdrew immediately, and Guo Hai was brought out from the office.
The two factory directors and labor union chairman of the shoe factory—what was there they didn’t understand?
Guo Hai was a spy.
There was a transmitter in his room.
It was truly too terrifying and too hateful.
No one needed to teach them; they knew what to do.
Guo Hai’s office was sealed up, and the factory security department first detained him in the security department’s supervision room.
They checked again and again, worried he would poison himself to death, even stuffing something in his mouth.
They really tied him up five flowers tight, leaving him without even the possibility of suicide.
It had to be said that in the sixties, awareness in this regard was ingrained to the bone.
Next, it was a matter for Wangjiang Shoe Factory and the local public security.
Feeling like he had gone through a thrilling ordeal, Shao Le also calmed down.
Mainly, if he wasn’t calm, Lu Qiaoge wouldn’t let him drive.
And Lu Qiaoge naturally received both praise and criticism from Old Hu.
But it had to be said that Lu Qiaoge’s reaction was truly fast.
If it had been a few seconds slower, who knows what the outcome would have been.
Old Hu took people back to the neighborhood committee.
He went to find Deputy Director Huang, then Shao Le drove Wei Xia home.
Lu Qiaoge and Sister Qiao naturally went along too.
They soon arrived at the main door of Wei Xia’s home.
The courtyard door was open, and Neighbor Aunt Han was talking with Granny Peng from the neighborhood committee,
beside them were three little radish heads.
In this era, adults go to work, and for those who couldn’t send their children to the nursery, at home it was basically the older kids looking after the younger ones.
When Wei Xia was at work, it was Mengmeng looking after her younger brother and younger sister at home.
The neighbors did the same.
Just like Aunt Han, who, considering Wei Xia’s mental state these past few days, came over every day to help watch the children.
Lu Qiaoge glanced over.
This little girl Mengmeng was quite capable too.
Her five-year-old younger sister and three-year-old younger brother both listened to her very well,
how to put it?
These were three good babies.
All sitting obediently on little stools.
When they saw their mother getting out of the jeep, their mouths opened wide in disbelief as they looked on.
But they didn’t run around wildly, instead sitting obediently on the stools.
Only when Wei Xia walked into the courtyard did they rush over shouting for mama.
Aunt Han and Granny Peng on the side said: “Look at these three babies, so well-behaved. I say, although Wei Xia has bad luck, ending up with such a scumbag thing, actually her luck is pretty good too—the four children are really such a relief.”
Granny Peng nodded while proactively introducing that she was sent by Deputy Director Huang to keep her company for these few days.
She had thought the three children would be noisy and naughty, but after arriving, she discovered these three children were exceptionally sensible.
How to put it? Similar to the saying that poor people’s children become heads of the household early.
Lu Qiaoge looked at the three children.
Actually, they had been frightened by the harsh family environment.
Once Wei Xia returned to normal life, the children would become lively.
Sister Qiao spoke up: “Wei Xia, if you have any matters, you can come to the neighborhood committee to find us.”
Wei Xia’s eyes sparkled as she nodded.
She had just personally witnessed the process of capturing a spy.
It was truly too thrilling.
She felt she could tell it to her four children for a lifetime.
Wei Xia said gratefully: “Thank you all, really, I don’t know how to express my gratitude toward you in my heart.”
Aunt Han said: “Then you just take good care of yourself.”
Wei Xia nodded vigorously, her eyes reddening, and said softly: “Mm, I will definitely take good care of myself.”
She would live well, and properly educate and nurture her four children.
She absolutely wouldn’t let down the help and expectations from the neighborhood committee cadres toward her.
By now the sun was setting in the west.
Workers getting off work rode bicycles, the ding-dong of bike bells ringing on the road.
Shao Le said: “Little Lu, I’ll first take you home, then I’ll send Sister Qiao.”
Lu Qiaoge nodded; being able to hitch a ride was good too.
It was just that the bicycle was at the work unit, so tomorrow morning she’d have to walk there.
—
After dinner, Lu Qiaoge didn’t go anywhere.
She lay lazily on the little kang in the bedroom.
Suddenly she remembered it had been several days since she entered the space.
Heavens, she’d been so busy she hadn’t even had time to build a wooden house to display the treasures.
At this moment, Hua Hua was playing with a ball of yarn by her side.
Xiao Cangcang landed on the little master’s shoulder, relying on its smallest size to try to enter the space with Lu Qiaoge.
Regrettably, it still went splat and landed on the bed sheet.
Hua Hua laughed so hard it rolled around.
Xiao Cangcang sighed regretfully and said to Hua Hua: 【Tell the master, I’m going to scout Guo Hai’s current situation.】
Hua Hua nodded: 【I’ll guard the little master first.】
Xiao Cangcang flew away very disappointedly, vanishing in the blink of an eye,
Hua Hua felt its speed was quite a bit slower than Xiao Cangcang’s.
But it had sharp claws.
Hua Hua meowed a few times and continued happily playing with the ball of yarn.
Meanwhile, Lu Qiaoge toured the space.
Looking at the mountain ridge ahead, this should actually be Yuanbao Mountain, but now it was all hidden in white mist.
Probably it could only be unlocked after the space upgrade.
Lu Qiaoge played for a bit with the pretty agate by the water’s edge.
Then she patrolled her gold and silver jewelry again.
With her hand on a piece of jade, there was still no sign of upgrading.
Based on her experience from the previous life in the apocalypse, if the space couldn’t absorb energy, it should still be in the consolidation phase.
Lu Qiaoge selected a flat spot in the left-hand direction upon entering.
About two hundred square meters or so.
Not a house for living in, tentatively a large wooden warehouse.
