Chapter 173 Doctor, please save our deputy battalion commander!
Tai Guohao stabbed him more than a dozen times, but none of the stabs hit any vital parts.
Blood was everywhere, but the person was not in mortal danger. They were only screaming in agony.
Bing Yongfeng released Duan Jinsong, threw the dagger on the ground, and surrendered.
"Deputy Director Duan, Factory Director Meng, I'm sorry. I'm willing to accept the judgment of the Party and the people!"
Qiao Manman used a truth-revealing talisman on him: "Just now, did you really want to kill Deputy Director Duan to protect your son?"
"No, I cannot do anything that would betray the Party and the people."
Our country has finally achieved stability; how can I, because of my selfishness, allow it to be riddled with holes again?
I took Deputy Director Duan hostage in order to expose the mastermind behind the evil deeds.
Otherwise, I fear that after my death, the other workers in the machine factory will be threatened or turned, causing losses to the country.
"Aren't you afraid they'll kill Xiaoxi?"
"Xiao west has been kidnapped for so long, her chances of survival are probably slim."
Bing Yongfeng smiled bitterly: "It's all fate. If my Xiaoxi doesn't come back, she will be a little hero who sacrificed herself for the machinery factory."
Regardless of whether others know or not, neither he nor I have a clear conscience!
Qiao Manman clapped: "You are a hero!"
Duan Jingsong rubbed his stiff legs: "I know you didn't mean to hurt me! That knife was way away from me just now. I was just scared and couldn't break free."
Don't worry, we'll talk to the police and they'll definitely be able to get the child back!
The group of people were talking and didn't realize the fire had gone out.
The auditorium doors were pulled open, letting in bright light. Lu Yuan stumbled to Qiao Manman and hugged her tightly, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"
Qiao Manman smelled blood on him and knew that the area outside the auditorium was also filled with bloodshed and was no safer than this place.
She patted his back gently, reassuring him, "It's alright, we're all fine. Lu Yuan, I've caught the traitor."
Lu Yuan wouldn't listen and asked her, "Why didn't you leave through the side door?"
"Didn't we agree that if anything happened, you would take your men and leave, leaving Xiao Wei behind to clean up the mess?"
Qiao Manman sighed: "The situation is urgent, I don't have time to be picky. Besides, I'm confident I can control the situation."
As she spoke, she crushed a forgetting talisman, allowing everyone to gradually forget her and Lu Yuan's names and appearances over time.
I only remember that an engineer surnamed Lu once rushed out of danger and saved them from the fire.
Of course, this excludes the parties involved, such as Lu Yuan, Lu Yifeng, and Wei Hanpeng, as well as key figures like Duan Jingsong, Bing Yongfeng, and Meng Taining.
The people in the auditorium gradually came to their senses, and one by one they patted their chests with lingering fear.
"Comrade Xiao Qiao, what do you mean? Is there another escape route in the auditorium?"
Qiao Manman knew that if this matter wasn't explained clearly, it wouldn't be good for either her or the machinery factory.
So he pulled Lu Yuan and bowed to everyone: "I'm sorry everyone, I couldn't explain it to you beforehand. I wanted to completely eliminate the spies from the revolutionary ranks."
Our actions proved to be very effective.
However, we haven't taken everyone's safety lightly. Here..."
Qiao Manman went to the corner of the stage, lifted a black steel plate, and behind it was a door that was partially covered with bricks.
With a gentle tap, bricks fell to the ground, and the last rays of the setting sun shone through the doorway.
"We've set up escape routes. If the situation gets out of control, everyone can leave from here!"
Lu Yuan gave Meng Taining a wink, and Director Meng stepped forward and took the megaphone from Qiao Manman's hand.
First, he apologized to the factory workers and Deputy Director Duan, and then praised everyone for their heroic actions.
"Two days ago, we received a tip that the auditorium was to be renovated."
Remove flammable materials, apply fire-retardant paint to the walls and stage, create escape routes, and invite military personnel to participate in the operation...
In order to mislead the spies, we failed to explain things clearly to our comrades beforehand. We apologize for the scare you.
To compensate everyone, I've decided to double the year-end bonuses.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone got excited.
Meng Taining continued: "The heroic performance of Technician Tai Guohao and Master Fu Yufan in this operation is evident to all. I have decided to elect them as outstanding employees, and I hope that all comrades will learn from these two advanced individuals."
Everyone nodded and raised their right hands in support of Meng Taining: "Director Meng, this is what we should do. Catching spies is the duty of every proletarian fighter."
"Yes, Director Meng, don't feel guilty. If we find those Japanese devils, we can work with more peace of mind!"
Qiao Manman raised an eyebrow: "See? This is what power tastes like. All the words we say together can't compare to someone else's slight expression of their opinion."
Lu Yuan pulled her along, leaving through a side door. Qiao Manman, smelling the blood in the air, asked, "Are you hurt?"
She had just noticed in the auditorium that the red string on his wrist was gone, and knew that the situation outside was critical; he might have narrowly escaped death.
Lu Yuan reassured her, "It's just some superficial wounds, nothing serious! But Lu Yifeng was shot in the thigh and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment."
What Lu Yuan didn't say was that at that critical moment, if he hadn't stepped forward to block it, Lu Yifeng would have been dead.
His thought at the time was that even if he was seriously injured, he would send the spy away.
Unexpectedly, he twisted his ankle on flat ground, causing the bullet that was heading straight for his chest to graze his arm.
His clothes were torn, leaving a bloody stain. It hurt, but it didn't affect his movement.
Lu Yuan seized the opportunity and killed two spies.
At the same time, the red string on her wrist burned, and with a gust of wind, it vanished without a trace.
Qiao Manman patted her chest, still shaken, and asked him, "What do we do next?"
Lu Yuan squeezed Qiao Manman's hand: "Let Company Commander Wei take you to the hospital. I'll stay here to clean up the mess."
"Your wound..."
"I'll deal with it after I'm done with this."
Qiao Manman nodded and left the machinery factory with Wei Hanpeng.
Every now and then, there were pools of blood and scattered bullet casings on the road. Qiao Manman's heart clenched, and she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
The car was parked a few hundred meters away from the machinery factory, and Wei Hanpeng skillfully sat in the driver's seat.
After starting, he said to Qiao Manman, "Sister-in-law, you were very brave and resourceful just now."
"Thank you! It's because you guys are there to protect me that I can be fearless."
Qiao Manman's generous acceptance of the praise, without taking credit for it, further endeared her to Wei Hanpeng.
After taking her to the entrance of the emergency room and inquiring about Lu Yifeng's condition, he turned back to help Lu Yuan.
Qiao Manman left the hospital, wandered around in the shadows, and returned carrying the enamel basin, thermos, towels, and other items that Guo Youfeng and Yan Chengke had used.
Lu Yifeng was wheeled out. The doctor said the surgery was successful, no bones were damaged, and he would recover after a period of rest.
Qiao Manman thanked the other party and followed them to the ward. After settling the person in, seeing that they were still unconscious, she went to the water room to fetch a basin of hot water.
They wiped the dust off Lu Yifeng's face and hands and prepared anti-inflammatory medicine for him.
Just as I was about to go out to buy some food, I heard Wei Hanpeng wailing, "Doctor, please save our deputy battalion commander! Doctor, doctor!"
