Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 1247 Let the storm rage on!

Da Bao gave Zhang Wenyuan a deep look, then slowly extended his hands. The police officers carefully put handcuffs on Da Bao, and even tested them with their little fingers to make sure they weren't too tight.

Da Bao turned around, looked at his colleagues who had worked and struggled together for more than half a year, raised his hands to his chest, waved gently, and said with a smile.

Goodbye, comrades. I hope to have the opportunity to fight alongside you again.

Everyone's eyes welled up with tears; even Shi Yun covered her mouth and sobbed. Da Bao, wearing a coat and handcuffs, stepped off the train. A familiar smell of old Beijing wafted on the wind—a stench, of course.

But for Da Bao, this taste was a familiar and mellow flavor accumulated over nearly a hundred years across two lifetimes. He looked at the police and Central Commission for Discipline Inspection personnel crowding around him, and smiled coldly. He gazed at the large clock at the Beijing Railway Station in the distance, its hands ticking away.

Da Bao said something in a low voice.

"What's coming will come, so let the storm rage on."

……

In the living room of the Lu family compound in the military compound, whether it was the Lu family or the Qin family, all the people in Beijing sat in the living room. No one spoke, and even the children kept their mouths tightly shut. The atmosphere in the living room was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Grandpa Lu sat on the sofa, his hands resting on his lower abdomen, one of them holding a telegram.

Lu Xiu'e suddenly burst into tears, and she murmured to herself.

"Is there any justice in this world? My son sacrificed his family and career for the country, and what did he get in return?"

Old Master Lu frowned and reprimanded in a low voice.

"Xiu'e, don't talk nonsense."

Bai Xiuying suddenly stood up.

"No, I have to go to Zhonghai, I have to go to the State Council, I absolutely have to ask which law my eldest son has broken?"

With her, Grandpa Lu's words carried little weight, but there was still Grandma there. Grandma held Nuannuan and gently patted the table.

"sit down."

Bai Xiuying plopped down angrily. The person she feared most and respected most in her life was her mother-in-law.

Lu Liye's health was already very good, but he was still very thin and frail. He hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Father, in the telegram Da Bao sent me, he told me to hold back and let things take their course. What does that mean?"

Old Master Lu picked up the telegram in his hand. He had read it countless times, and it contained only four words: "Wait and see."

He understood somewhat, but not completely.

"Da Bao also sent a telegram to your brother, telling him to establish a firm foothold in southern Fujian, to proceed steadily and cautiously, and not to make any mistakes. My understanding of all the telegrams he sent us is..."

Da Bao had known this would happen for a while and had made ample preparations. He told us to wait and see, partly to keep us out of this mess.

Secondly, we cannot disrupt his plan.

Qin Qing sighed. He couldn't help at all here. His worry for his son turned his hair gray overnight.

The old lady said thoughtfully.

“I think Da Bao definitely has a backup plan. Just look at how he changed Er Bao’s surname from Qin to Lu so early on. You can tell that he has everything under control.”

When Erbao was mentioned, Lu Xiue cried even harder. Two months ago, Erbao was sent to the army to become a member of the youth genius class and changed his surname to Lu. However, Erbao did not use the name given by his brother, but gave himself the name Lu Li.

Among these people, the heavily pregnant Zuo Mingyue was the most composed. She knew that Da Bao had an advantage and no one could hurt him. Moreover, Da Bao had explained some things to her clearly when they were in Fujian, so she wasn't too worried.

The old lady stood up and hugged Nuannuan as she spoke.

“Now that Da Bao has a plan, we, as family members, should support him unconditionally. But we can’t do nothing. Xiu’e and Qing You, you should go back to the courtyard and continue working and living as usual.”

Mingyue stayed in the military compound with the children. It was relatively safe there, and no one dared to cause trouble in the compound.

Xiuying, the children are already in college, so you don't need to live alone at home anymore. Move in with us.

"Liye, how many people do you have under you now?"

Lu Liye knew what his mother meant by asking that question. After thinking about it carefully, he said decisively.

"Not counting those in Jinzhou, I have 135 trusted men in the capital. These are all brothers who have followed me through thick and thin, and they would do anything for me if I gave the order."

The old lady looked down at Old Master Lu.

Grandpa Lu nodded and said to Lu Liye.

"We must get in touch with Da Bao as soon as possible. He's inside, and we're outside. We'll cooperate with each other. Our Lu family has three generals, and we will not be forced to surrender."

Lu Liye agreed.

Bai Xiuying grew anxious.

"Father, Mother, what can I do?"

Bai Xiuying works at the Women's Federation in Beijing. She is fair and selfless, warm and generous, and the women who come to her for help all like her. She has a good reputation among the masses, but she can be a bit impulsive.

The old man thought for a moment and shook his head. The situation was still unclear, and if Bai Xiuying were to get involved, it would probably be counterproductive.

"Xiuying, these next few days, talk less and do more at work, and come home early in the evening. The safety of the family is your responsibility."

Bai Xiuying happily agreed.

……

In the living room of a villa in Xiangshan, a suburb of Beijing, sat a dozen or so people. Some were in military uniforms, some in civilian clothes, and some in police uniforms. The youngest of them was over forty years old.

However, judging from their posture and demeanor, these people are no ordinary individuals.

If Da Bao were here, he would find that these people are all his enemies, and the hatred runs deep and cannot be resolved.

Zhou Quanjie has not been seen in public for a long time since his grandson Zhou Moyan died. He now looks very old and frail, dressed in a military uniform, sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting.

Wei Wenxian, dressed in casual clothes, was speaking in hushed tones with Li Yumin and Li Yutang.

Liu Dagui strode in, saluted Zhou Quanjie, and Zhou Quanjie nodded with his eyes closed, gesturing for him to sit down.

Duan Huaiwen sat at a distance, flipping through the documents in his hand. The room was quiet, with only a few whispers.

Everyone was waiting for someone, but the fact that they could gather all of Da Bao's enemies together was no easy feat, indicating that the person in charge was definitely not someone of high status.

Just then, the living room door opened, and an elderly man wearing glasses walked in. Behind him was none other than Li Tonglin, the Vice Minister of Public Security…
