Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 1092: Assassinated on the First Day in Southern Fujian

Wang Wenlin immediately convened a provincial government meeting. Several deputy officials, including the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and others, were present. The meeting was chaired by Wang Wenlin, and Jian Huaiwen distributed the official document on the Four Cleanups Movement.

Wang Wenlin cleared his throat.

"As you all have seen today, the central government has sent a working group, and their first stop is southern Fujian. This shows that the central government is not satisfied with our work.

Before going to the meeting, the secretary reminded me that this campaign must be carried out seriously and responsibly. Later, I thought about it and felt that our southern Fujian is different from other provinces.

We're on the front lines facing Taiwan, so we can't afford to mess around. We asked each county and city to conduct self-criticism, hoping it would pass. Now it seems that's not happening. Today, Team Leader Qin from the working group asked us to send over the materials related to the Four Cleanups Movement for review."

Wang Wenlin smiled bitterly.

"You all know that there is no material at all. It's just some criticisms and self-criticisms, with all sorts of reasons, enough to be written into the story. Fortunately, Director Jian was clever and found an excuse to buy us three days.

I have a proposal, and I hope everyone will vote by raising their hands. That is, except for those who have projects on hand and need to stay at home, leaders of all provincial departments must go down to the counties and cities to carry out the Four Cleanups in the countryside and the Five Antis in the cities, and supervise their completion as stated in the documents.

Now let's vote by raising our hands. Those who agree please raise your hands."

More than a dozen hands were raised, and Wang Wenlin nodded with satisfaction.

"In that case, let's divide the work. Secretary Li Bo of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, you go to Nanping, Secretary Wang Tianping of the Discipline Inspection Commission, you go to Meixi..."

More than a dozen counties and cities have been arranged.

Li Bo asked.

"Leader, after we go down there, how far should we go in carrying out this campaign? The province should set some boundaries for us, right? Otherwise, we'll be so clueless, how can we carry out our work?"

Wang Wenlin leaned back in his chair and picked up several documents issued by the Central Committee.

"What's the provincial line? Everything must be done according to the central government's instructions. I have one request: we must see preliminary results within three days. At the very least, I must be able to report to the working group. Do you understand?"

None of the people present were fools, and of course they knew what Wang Wenlin meant. After the meeting, they asked their secretaries to inform them of the cities they were going to. They didn't want to be caught off guard and have no place to stay.

Dabao and Jinhai returned to the hotel, which was once the residence of a wealthy businessman. After liberation, the businessman fled overseas, and the residence was successfully converted into a guesthouse.

This guesthouse is not of a certain level, and even the main gate cannot be entered. Now the entire guesthouse has been cleared out and a working group has been stationed in.

Dabao and Jinhai sat in the back seat, while the driver and co-pilot seats in the front were occupied by guards and drivers assigned by two military sub-districts.

When the jeep was about to drive towards the main gate of the guesthouse, the soldier on guard saw that it was a military sub-district license plate and saluted immediately.

At this moment, Dabao shouted,

"No, lower your head quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out. The driver and the guard sitting in the front seat were shot several times. The car stopped abruptly. The two soldiers on guard were also hit by the sudden bullets and fell in a pool of blood.

Dabao and Jinhai squatted on the back seat. Dabao took out a pistol, kicked the car door open, and swam down like a fish. Jinhai was not to be outdone. He pulled out a pistol from the guard's waist and opened the car door for cover.

At this time, three men in black clothes flashed out from the corner of the guesthouse gate. They held submachine guns in their hands and ran towards the jeep while striding and shooting.

Dabao lay in the back of the car and sneered. A group of idiots actually dared to ambush him. Dabao turned over and landed on the roof of the jeep like a spider. He raised his hand and fired three shots.

The sound of submachine gunfire stopped abruptly. The three killers in black were shot in the forehead and fell to the ground like rotten wood. Dabao fell off the car and yelled at Jin Hai.

"Hurry and save people."

Jin Hai remained calm in the face of danger and quickly opened the passenger door to check the injuries of the driver and the guard. After a careful look, he shook his head at Dabao.

The distance was too close, and the thin iron sheet of the jeep could not stop the bullets from the submachine gun. The driver and the guard were hit by several bullets and had already died.

Dabao was sticking to the jeep, holding a gun in one hand and looking ahead vigilantly. His awareness could only reach a hundred meters. If there were enemies holding guns in the distance, he and Jin Hai would be ready targets.

Jin Hai checked the pulses of the two sentries, but they couldn't be saved. It seemed that the enemy was too crazy. They must have known that an important person was coming to the guesthouse today, so they sent assassins to ambush them.

At this time, gunshots were heard in the guesthouse. The guard company commander Zhang Zhenghao led the squad on guard duty and ran over with guns in hand. Only then did Dabao and Jinhai breathe a sigh of relief.

It was their first time in southern Fujian, and they had not expected the environment here to be so harsh. It was not even dark yet, but the enemy was carrying out an assassination so blatantly.

Zhang Zhenghao broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the situation at the scene. He followed Dabao's order and escorted the other members of the working group back to the guesthouse first. He thought he would be safe once he arrived at the guesthouse, but he didn't expect to hear gunshots shortly after he sat down.

Dabao and Jinhai were escorted back to the room. Within twenty minutes, Yan Zhenguo arrived with a company of guards, followed by Wang Wenlin and Jian Huaiwen with staff from the provincial government.

The working group was assassinated on the first day. Fortunately, no member was injured, otherwise Wang Wenlin would be in big trouble.

Dabao's face was gloomy. He didn't think this was an isolated incident. The working group was staying at the Guest House. This was definitely not a secret. Too many people knew about it.

But when he and Jin Hai were returning to the guesthouse from the provincial government, they would not have been ambushed so accurately unless there were enemy spies keeping a close eye on them.

Even if there were enemy spies watching Dabao and his men, how would they pass on information? In those days, there were no cell phones, so Dabao speculated that, excluding the 20% chance of accidents, there was an 80% chance that there were enemy spies lurking in the provincial government and in the guesthouse as well.

Only in this way can we explain why the enemy spies could so accurately calculate the time of Dabao and others' return. Dabao was sitting in the lobby of the guesthouse. He asked the director to call all the employees here.

The employees also heard the gunshots and were so scared that they hid in their houses and didn't dare to come out. Now they heard that the danger was over and the killers had been killed, so they followed the director's orders and came to the hall.

Dabao sat on the sofa, looking indifferently at the staff of the guesthouse standing opposite him...
