Chapter 105: Shocked hearing about bad news

After returning to my dormitory at the division office, I immediately searched for relevant information about Athena Company. There were very few information available online. The only thing that can be confirmed is that this is indeed a Taiwanese-funded enterprise. There are many such medium-sized software companies in Fuzhou. If I hadn't seen Wei Jinyan sneaking with the boss of this company, I wouldn't have noticed it at all.

I turned off the computer and sat down beside the bed. I lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought.

Wei Jinyan is just an instructor of a grassroots company. He usually doesn't have many confidential documents. If my inference is established and there are problems with this company, as long as Wei Jinyan's behavior is a personal behavior and does not involve the huge network of relationships behind him, the harm caused by this matter should not be great. However, if this is an organized and premeditated act of trafficking military intelligence, the consequences will be unimaginable.

No matter what, I must investigate this matter clearly. As long as confidential documents are leaked, it will cause harm to our army. A senior intelligence officer can even infer the strategic deployment of the entire army through a company training plan. However, if the specific distribution of troops, weapons and equipment, and training situations are leaked, it will even have a significant impact on our army's overall deployment of military preparations for Taiwan. Therefore, for front-line troops like us, confidentiality work is very important.

I snatched out the cigarette butts and said to myself:

"Let's take this as a training exercise before the 'Knob Cutting Operation'!"

After saying that, I called the phone number left by Fu Chun. As soon as the phone was connected there, I smiled and said:

"Brother Fu, I'm Changfeng! I haven't contacted you for a long time!"

The other end of the phone was silent for a long time before a voice that I felt strange to me:

"Are you looking for Fu Chun?"

This call was Fu Chun's phone call in the military office. How could someone answer it? I asked strangely:

"Yes! Why is Brother Fu not here? Has he been transferred..."

Still silent, but this time I felt a depressing atmosphere, and a sense of ominousness suddenly arose in my heart. Sure enough, the voice said:

"He...he has sacrificed!"

I was stunned for a moment, as if the blood in my body had frozen in an instant. The news seemed like a bolt from the blue, which shocked me. I asked tremblingly:

"What happened? How could this happen?"

He said sadly on the other end of the phone: "He had an accident during a training camp..."

Training? I immediately understood that when I was on mission, didn’t I leave the army in the name of training? I murmured:

"Oh...thank you, goodbye!"

I dialed the Fat Pig King's phone with my trembling hands. When Fu Chun went on a mission, he usually partnered with the Fat Pig King. Thinking of this, my heart was trembling. I was really afraid of hearing the same news...

The waiting time seemed to be infinitely long. I didn't know how many times the phone rang. I only knew that my heart would hop on every ringing. Finally, the phone was answered. The sound of the fat pig king, which was a bit similar to the broken gong, sounded like the sound of nature now, he said:

"Hey! Who?"

I breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly:

"Brother Wang, I am Changfeng!"

The fat pig king said in surprise: "Secretary Lu, why do you have time to call me? Now should be your busiest time!"

I am no longer surprised by the well-informed information of the Shadow Group, and I am not in a joking mood now, I said anxiously:

"Brother Wang, I just called Brother Fu, and they said... he died..."

The fat pig king was silent for a while, sighed and said:

"You heard it right... Changfeng, we didn't tell you that you just don't want you to be distracted. This period of time is very important to you. We know everything about your situation!"

I had no intention of pursuing them and they didn't tell me the news, I asked anxiously:

"What the hell is going on? They said the training accident! Brother Wang, tell me if Fu Chun encountered an accident when he was on the mission?"

The fat pig king said in a deep voice:

"Changfeng, I understand your mood very much, but you know the discipline yourself. You know I can't tell you. I can only tell you that Fu Chun really sacrificed. Everyone else is fine. Don't think so much. Those who do our business are ready to sacrifice at any time. Over the years, I have seen too much! I am also numb..."

I held the microphone blankly and couldn't speak for a long time. I still remember Fu Chun's voice, appearance and smile. This instructor of the past and later comrades-in-arms have always been a modest person and acted very steadily. He is an excellent sniper and can also use various guns skillfully. Many of my combat skills are learned from Fu Chun now. I have always been respectful to this instructor. Until we went on a mission together and experienced a few nightmare days in Japan, my feeling of dealing with Chun has changed from a respected elder to a comrade-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms-in-arms

I still clearly remember that he and the fat pig king, Zhou Lixiong came to Fuzhou to find me. That should be the last time we met. When we broke up in Xichan Temple in a hurry, I never thought that this farewell would become a farewell. If I knew, I would definitely take them to the airport...

"Long wind, long wind..."

The Fat Pig King's voice woke me up, and I said:

"Brother Wang, when do you have time? I want to go to the worship of Instructor Fu with you!"

When I said this, my eyes were already wet. I once again called Fu Chun a "instructor". I couldn't tell what I thought. In short, I think only the word "instructor" can express my respect and nostalgia for Fu Chun...

The fat pig king said, "Okay, after all the work, let's talk to Lao Fu together and accompany him!"

I suddenly remembered that the purpose of calling Fu Chun was to let them investigate Athena's situation. I didn't expect to hear this bad news, so I said to the fat pig king:

"By the way, Brother Wang, there is a Taiwanese-funded software company named Athena in Fuzhou, and there may be things you are interested in..."

The fat pig king said tacitly:

"Is that so? Then I'll notify Fuzhou to go and explore their bottom."

I nodded and asked:

"Can you do a favor? I want to participate in this matter! At least I need to know how things are going!"

The fat pig king thought about it and said:

"This is not in line with the rules..."

I said lightly: "I can also provide a clue. As long as you agree to my conditions, I will tell you immediately!"

The fat pig king smiled and said, "Changfeng, our people will find out what you call clues! I believe you are very clear about this yourself!"

I said a little angry:

"Brother Wang, you are too unfair! There are no strict regulations in the discipline and cannot be assisted by people outside the organization! Even when we went to Japan last time, we took such a big risk and cooperated with the bastard Xiangtian. Am I not even as good as Xiangtian?"

The fat pig king sighed and said:

"Changfeng, you don't know that it was our last resort to fighting abroad. In China, we have a very good intelligence base and do not need to cooperate with outsiders at all. There is no precedent. However, you were also my own person before, and the clues were provided by you. I'll try to communicate with Fuzhou. If they don't agree, I can't do anything!"

I knew this was the limit of the fat pig king, I said:

"Okay, thank you, Brother Wang, by the way, I told the comrades in Fuzhou that while checking Athena, you can secretly check Wei Jinyan, the instructor of the first company of the x battalion of the xxx regiment, and maybe you will get something!"

"Okay! Thank you Changfeng, goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

When I hung up the phone, I sat on the bed. The news of Fu Chun's death was too sudden. I couldn't accept the fact that the amiable instructor had left me for a while. All afternoon, I locked myself in the room and smoked constantly, recalling the day and night of being with Fu Chun and the comrades in the shadow group. I felt very depressed. Until the sound of dinner sounded, I walked out of my room.

The next day, the designers of the decoration company sent their design renderings. I was in a bad mood and took a look at them casually. After putting a few suggestions, I threw them to do it. Even the selection of furniture and electrical appliances was fully handed over to them. After I handed the keys to the decoration company, I called the gatekeeper and said so that they would not be blocked when they came to decorate. Then I packed up my simple luggage and lived in the villa my dad gave me these days.

I contacted Political Commissar Yang by phone. He told me to rest in the next few days and to find him again in three days. Then he would take me to the training department. I smiled bitterly and thought, "It seems that the appointment of this deputy section chief has touched too many people..."

I also asked Political Commissar Yang for instructions on configuring a mobile phone. It was really inconvenient to have no mobile phone. Political Commissar Yang verbally approved it without thinking.

After dealing with these trivial matters, I picked up my luggage and left the division headquarters. Now I am a "three-no-conscientious" person and left the company. The agency has not officially registered yet, so no one cares where I am going. I took a taxi to my villa and found that the house was spotless. It seems that my dad has been looking for someone to clean regularly. I threw my bags into the corner of the living room and called my dad:

"Hey, dad, I'm at home!"

The father asked in confusion: "Why are you talking without any end? Where are you in?"

I smiled and said, "Villa! By the way, I will lend your car to use it these days! I feel distressed when I beat you back and forth!"

Dad said, "No problem! Your house is being renovated? I'll buy you a car after you finish it!"

I said happily:

"Let's talk about it then! Dad, you can drive the car over now! By the way, buy me a mobile phone, I can use it now!"

"Okay! My son is waiting for me!"

I lay comfortably on the sofa and looked around the real home. The decoration my dad had done for me can be described as luxury, with expensive carpets, luxurious decorations, fantastic lighting, state-of-the-art appliances, a wide range of famous wines in the wine cabinet... I walked upstairs and downstairs and found that my bedroom was decorated more luxuriously. Everything I could think of was prepared for me, even the wardrobe was filled with clothes, the comfortable lounge chairs on the balcony, the swing in the yard... Everything was so perfect.

My dad arrived soon. As soon as he entered the door, he threw the car keys to me, and then said proudly:

"How is it? I personally supervised the finished decoration, you are still satisfied!"

I smiled and said, "It's like an aristocratic experience! Dad, what should I do if I live here and I don't even want to go to work in the future?"

Dad laughed:

"If you don't want to go, don't go! It's hard and no money in the army..."

I smiled but didn't answer because I knew my dad was joking. This former soldier has always been proud of having an officer's son.

Dad said, "Son, I'll deliver the car to you. If you have nothing to do, send it back to the convoy! If you want to continue to be a nobleman, I'll go and fight..."

I quickly said, "How can I do it! It's natural for my son to send my father to you! Let's go!"

After saying that, I took the car key and went out. After getting in the car, my dad handed me a cell phone and said:

"I almost forgot, the phone you want! Look at whether you are satisfied with it!"

I took it and put it in my pocket without even looking at it. I knew my dad might be reluctant to use high-end goods, but the things I bought for me would never feel sorry for the money, and it was definitely the best.

After sending my dad to the place, I took out my cell phone and informed me of my number personally, including Political Commissar Yang and Fat Pig King. This makes it much easier for the shadow team members in Fuzhou to contact me - even though they don't need this, they can easily find me.

I drove to the riverside to have a breeze. It was not until Xiaoying was about to get off work that I stood up and drove to the downstairs of Xiaoying's company. As soon as the car was parked, I saw Xiaoying hurriedly walk out of the company. Lu Liang was still beside her. However, this time Xiaoying obviously showed an impatient look. I patted my head. I was so confused that I forgot to teach this kid a lesson!

I got out of the car and walked towards Xiaoying. Xiaoying also saw me from afar, with a happy look on her face. She turned around and said to Lu Liang in disgust:

"I didn't expect Changfeng was right! You are just a love liar! My boyfriend is here, if you don't want to be beaten by him, you will disappear soon!"

I smiled and waited for Xiaoying to come to me, but after Lu Liang saw me, he dodged away in shame. I said with a smile:
To be continued...
