"Leader, what exactly is her status?" The captain asked with some curiosity as he looked at Liang Lu, who was locked up inside and skinny.
This secret prison had held many people, but never had any of them needed to be treated so seriously, or even had traps laid outside.
"Do you know what it means, don't ask what you shouldn't ask?" The middle-aged man turned his head to look at him angrily and scolded in a low voice.
The captain shivered in fear, and then dared not continue to speak.
"Miss Liang Lu, we will meet again sometime, but when that time comes, it won't be here." The middle-aged man looked at Liang Lu, and after saying these words, he simply turned around and left.
Liang Lu stood inside, she already probably understood what was going on here, most likely, she was just a bait, and the target she wanted to lure, should be Chen Ge who had made trouble in the South Vietnam War Department.
Other than that, Liang Lu really could not think of a reason for the South Vietnamese War Department to arrest herself.
--
The Guo family.
Guo Lintian got a message from the war department.
"Are you serious, he's gone somewhere?" Immediately after receiving the news, Guo Lintian returned to his room and asked in a low voice into the phone.
"I don't know, I just saw him leave with quite a few people, he looked like he was very nervous and cautious, and when Chen Ge first arrived in our South Vietnam, he had advocated to do it directly on the sea, but he was rejected by Lu Chengkun."
"This Chen Mingyong, back when Li Guojun was in power, was complicit and very aggressive, and now that he's in the hands of such an unthinking chief as Lu Chengkun, he shouldn't be able to resist his loneliness." Hearing the other party's words, Guo Lintian then spoke up.
"Yes, after Lu Chengkun became the chief, Chen Mingyong has moved a lot of hands, both explicitly and implicitly, with the intention of replacing the former as the chief, and it is possible that the young lady from the Liang family in Huaxia was moved by him." The other side of the phone continued.
"Okay, you continue to keep an eye on it, even if you pass on any news, it would be better if you could know exactly what Chen Mingyong wants to do!" Guo Lintian nodded his head.
"I'll try my best, Chen Mingyong has always been cautious and careful, it's hard to follow him and spy on him, but I'll try to do it." The other side of the phone sounded a bit embarrassed, but still agreed.
"Hard work, thank you properly when we meet next time." Guo Lintian was obviously very grateful for the other party's help.
"Then let's talk about it later, don't call me for the time being, I'll take the initiative to contact you when I've investigated any clues." The other side continued.
"No problem." Guo Lin Tian responded.
After saying these words, he simply hung up the phone.
Sitting in the room, Guo Lintian sipped his tea and began to think back on the record of the call he had just made with that person, this person was an office director in the War Department, his rank was not high to say the least, but to say the least, he was considered to be in the upper echelon of that section of the War Department.
When he first arrived in South Vietnam a few decades ago, Guo Lintian befriended him by chance, and it was thanks to his strength that he gradually gained a firm foothold in South Vietnam.
This time, when he heard that Guo Lintian was seeking help, he agreed to do so straight away.
"What did they say over there?" The butler stood just off to the side, and only after watching Guo Lintian put down the phone did he open his mouth to ask.
"Bai Xiaofei's consideration should not be wrong, Liang Lu's disappearance really seems to have some connection with the War Department, and it is likely that Chen Mingyong did it."
Guo Lintian lit up a cigarette and said slowly.
"Chen Mingyong? Isn't he the head of the War Department's sea area, how could he possibly be related to this matter?" The butler was a little confused.
"You don't know, the War Department knew about Chen Ge's return to South Vietnam a long time ago, Chen Mingyong planned to exterminate Chen Ge directly on the sea, but was firmly rejected by Lu Chengkun, if Liang Lu's disappearance was really related to him, then it should have been used to coerce Chen Ge."
"In that case, Brother Liang should not know about this, or if he knows a little, it is unlikely that he will speak up directly, after all, this is the South Vietnam War Department's hands, once reported, it will inevitably make things even bigger."
Guo Lintian smoked his cigarette and analyzed it carefully.
"Then we can't just stand by and watch, can we."
"Master, I feel the need to remind you that although our family has a notable position in South Vietnam, we can't fall out with the War Ministry because of Liang Lu, that would be too bad for us."
The steward was afraid that Guo Lintian would take this matter directly regardless of the relationship with the Liang family, no matter how strong a family was, they could not directly go against the War Ministry, it would be like hitting a stone with an egg.
"Of course I know." Guo Lin Tian rolled his eyes.
"Then what you mean, Master is ......" The butler spoke next.
"Nothing meaningful, let him continue to keep an eye on the War Department and Chen Mingyong, the rest will have to wait for Chen Ge to come back, and then make a decision after discussing with him." Guo Lin Tian exhaled a cloudy breath and said indifferently.
"That would indeed be the best course of action." The steward nodded after him.
"By the way, is there still no situation with Guo Fan?" Guo Lintian raised his head to look at him.
"Still nothing, Master, I suspect that the young master has met with a poisonous hand ......" The butler shook his head and sighed, "These days, we have used all the methods we can, but ......"
"That's enough, don't say anything." Before the butler could finish his sentence, Guo Lintian waved his hand.
He knew what this meant, but in his heart he simply didn't want to believe it, how could such an outstanding righteous son evaporate from the earth overnight without even leaving a single clue.
"Do you want to continue the investigation?" The butler asked after a pause.
"Alas, let's stop for now, after we settle the matter at hand." Guo Lintian let out a long sigh, and as he said this, he could feel his entire aura shrivel up, completely lacking the poise of the head of a family, instead resembling an old man who had entered the twilight of his later years.
"Understood." The butler nodded his head and said no more.
Inside the cave.
Chen Ge was still searching for the secrets stored here by the Hai Dong clan.
A whole day passed in the blink of an eye, and although there was light coming in from the cave entrance, the sky was all overcast due to the torrential rain, and if one didn't look at one's phone, one wouldn't know whether it was day or night.
And all that came faintly to my ears was the sound of torrential rain pouring down outside, and the occasional thunder.
"Not bad, searching through a bookshelf in a day, give you another week and you'll be sure to find it."
The old man spent most of his time sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, leaning against the wall and looking at Chen Ge.
"Elder you should stop making fun of me, or help me find it, I have other things to take care of and I'm already delayed now." Chen Ge gave a bitter laugh and rubbed his somewhat sour eyes as he said.
