"It's a long story. It's quite complicated." Xu Yun raised his voice and said, "I took this route because I thought I was familiar with the people in our border anti-narcotics team … But I didn't expect everything to change."
Huazi laughed and tried to make himself look very optimistic again. "There's nothing we can do about it. Who asked us to be in this line of work? Since we're in this line of work, this line of work is like this. A team made of iron, a new soldier …"
Although he said it with a smile, there was a lot of helplessness in it. Perhaps only Huazi himself could understand it.
After all his comrades and brothers left, Huazi's loneliness was incomprehensible. It was not something that could be explained with words.
"Brother Huazi, you've worked hard." Xu Yun said lightly. He went forward and patted Huazi's shoulder. This strong man was much more haggard than he was a few years ago.
Everyone had to raise their voice when speaking to Huazi, afraid that he would not be able to hear them and would feel awkward.
Xu Yun said it casually. Although Huazi did not hear it clearly, he could read Xu Yun's lips and read Xu Yun's emotions from his expression.
Everyone would experience unforgettable pain in their life. But for someone to experience more pain than Huazi, it was probably very rare.
"Our old friends are all here. Put down your work and catch up." Chen Beiyuan said, "I'll get someone to prepare a welcome dinner for them."
Xu Yun glanced at Lin Ge and said to Chen Beiyuan, "Captain Chen, my brother and I would like to trouble you with something. Can you find a place for us to take a bath? We're covered in mud … It's quite uncomfortable."
"Then get two sets of clean clothes from Huazi. What size do you want? I'll get someone to arrange a room for you in the guest house. "Chen Beiyuan said," Take the time to take a bath. Then we'll have dinner together! "
Only then did Lin Ge regain his senses. His dirty clothes made him feel uncomfortable. When the Narcotics Squad saw them, they thought that they were bad guys who had been caught.
Chen Beiyuan arranged for people to lead Xu Yun and Lin Ge to their respective rooms to wash up and change their clothes, while he stood guard in front of the two beast heads.
He didn't know whether this antique was real or fake, but he believed that Xu Yun and the others had risked their lives to protect it must be a treasure.
"Captain Chen, this thing … How do you think the experts can identify it?" Several members of the Narcotics Task Force also gathered around to watch.
Chen Beiyuan shook his head. "I don't know about that, but we're definitely not good enough. We can't tell if it's real or fake."
"I really can't tell if this thing is real. Can it really be taken out by those people so easily?"
"If it's not true, would they risk their lives to find it? Stop joking, this thing is definitely real. "
"You're talking as if you're an expert. If you really know, why don't you appraise it for me?"
The two of them disagreed and started arguing.
"That's enough, all of you shut up," Chen Beiyuan said. "Do you know how this stuff got out? There were some mercenaries who escaped with the national treasure at the border under our jurisdiction! Those bastards escaped right under our noses! Do you understand? "
The few of them instantly quieted down.
Chen Beiyuan slammed his palm on the table. "You'd better remember this! If it weren't for Xu Yun and the others risking their lives to get the beast heads back, this would be the loss of a national treasure! This responsibility is on us! "
The commander's words were like one slap after another, ruthlessly slapping them in the face.
"What a disgrace! You still have the nerve to argue here after something like this happened? What are you arguing about? " Chen Beiyuan said, "Just because of this incident, we can see that we have a lot of shortcomings! It's our mistake that led to this incident. We have to reflect on it. We have to remember our responsibilities clearly! Do you understand? "
If they didn't even know their responsibilities, how could they be members of the border Narcotics Squad?
"How many crimes have we let off in the past? Can you think of it now? Do you dare to think about it? "Chen Beiyuan rebuked angrily." If you don't dare to think about it, then shut up! Put the effort of bickering into work! Don't let something like this happen again! It's embarrassing! How can we face the country? How can we face the people? "
The deep self-reproach made all of them feel uncomfortable.
Hua Xia lit a cigarette by the side. As Chen Beiyuan's voice was very loud, he could hear every word clearly. "Indeed, we have to pay attention to this problem in the future. Not only will drugs enter the country, but we also have to be careful and watch out for our belongings being taken out by people with ulterior motives."
"That's why all of you listen up. You have to be more serious and careful in your work in the future!" Chen Beiyuan said. "You must not lose any members of the border Narcotics Squad again!"
"Yes!"
At this time, Xu Yun and Lin Ge had also finished showering. When they heard Chen Beiyuan's lecture, they smiled and walked forward.
"Captain Chen, you can't blame them. The opponent is too cunning." Xu Yun said, "The leader of the mercenaries is called Stinging Ant. You must have heard of him."
Everyone in the Narcotics Squad at the border had heard of the Sting Ant.
Even if Stinging Ant hadn't been in the Golden Triangle for many years, the evil things he had done in the Golden Triangle had never been forgotten.
Everyone was silent.
"The thing was taken out by that guy. I think it's because he's too familiar with the border that he was able to avoid you and escape. If it were someone else, they might not have the ability to do so," Xu Yun said.
Even if Hua Xia's hearing was bad, he still heard the two words "Stinging Ant."
"This guy has never failed in his dealings with us," Hua Xia said. Hua Zi said, "He's a cunning guy. Some of our brothers were injured by him, and some died because of him … He's too familiar with the Golden Triangle and the border area … It's not easy for us to find him."
Chen Beiyuan shook his head. "That's not a reason. No matter who it is, we can't let them pass through our line of fire so easily!"
"That's right." Xu Yun said, "I believe that everyone here has the same idea."
"Since the guests have interceded for you, I'll let you go today!" Chen Beiyuan said, "This kind of thing can't happen again. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Everyone nodded.
Xu Yun was embarrassed. "Actually, the responsibility for this is on me. If we had found out about Stinging Ant earlier and controlled them from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened. Things don't just happen because of one reason. Most of the time, it's caused by many factors."
"Don't try to absolve us of the responsibility. We won't shirk our responsibility," Chen Beiyuan said. "Put away your things. Let's go to the cafeteria. There may not be any delicacies in the cafeteria of the border anti-drug team, but our chef is very good. He cooks very well. Even the potatoes taste like pork ribs. You'll definitely be full of praise."
"I really want to eat roasted potatoes." Xu Yun smiled. "Captain Chen, I'm a little hungry after hearing what you said."
"Good! Good! Fill your stomach! If you're not full, Chief Wan will definitely blame me. There's no good food, but you'll definitely be full. "Under Chen Beiyuan's lead, everyone went straight to the cafeteria.
There were no restaurants in this place. They usually ate in the cafeteria.
Although there were no private rooms in the cafeteria, the two tables put together were quite big.
With Chen Beiyuan's special arrangement, the chef in the cafeteria cooked a few dishes for Xu Yun and the others. He didn't stew them directly.
It had to be said that the chef's standard was definitely not worse than the special chef in a five-star hotel. Although he was from the army's cooking squad, being able to make ordinary dishes taste delicious was definitely not something an ordinary chef could do.
Chen Beiyuan also prepared white wine and beer for Xu Yun and Lin Ge. The white wine was the ordinary kind that the commoners drank. There was nothing special about it. The beer was also the Yanjing brand yellow label wine. The cheapest kind seemed to be two yuan per bottle.
However, this didn't affect Xu Yun and Lin Ge's satisfaction. It was already good enough to have such a good reception.
