Previously, when Chen Guang was at the camp, no one felt that he was of much use. He was more like a mascot.
But now that he was captured, and the two deputy directors fainted because of the loss of their teacher, the camp by the lake of Ninghai suddenly fell into a state of no leader.
Then, many of the Jianghu experts who relied on the Guangding General Office realized that the situation was not good.
Now, they were in an awkward situation, and no one could make a decision.
Everyone was even more at a loss as to what to do.
It could even be said that Chen Guang was captured, and everyone's confidence was shaken.
It seemed that the Guangding General Office of Hua Xia was not as powerful as imagined?
He looked like he was useless, but in fact, they really could not do without him.
His identity not only represented the government, but he was also the world's number one expert. His identity was not considered noble, but it was indeed enough to convince the public.
But now that he was lost, the rest of the people were in a mess. The special agents of the Guangding General Office and the Jianghu people blamed each other. No one could stand the other, and no one was willing to listen to the other.
Originally, with the status and strength of the Jianghu leaders of Plain Clothes Faction and Fist Faction, even if there was an accident, it would not be a problem for them to take over the authority of Chen Guang and the two deputy directors and give orders.
But now, Chen Guang was captured under the eyes of these two people. As the leaders of the eight major sects, they were highly respected and had profound skills.
Although it was not good for others to say anything in front of them, it was hard to know what was in a man's heart. It was hard to guarantee that no one would secretly suspect whether Plain Clothes Faction and Fist Faction had been bribed.
At this time, the words of the two sects were not so useful.
The two evil sects had taken great pains to capture Chen Guang, so it was impossible that they had no other purpose.
It was not difficult to guess that the two evil sects and the defecting Six Swords Faction were very likely to use Chief Chen to make a fuss. Maybe their real target was Wen Jiawen.
Once they succeeded and Wen Jiawen died, did this mean that the Hua Xia officials sent out troops to suppress them was all bark and no bite, and they still failed in the end?
As the saying went, when the team grew bigger, it became harder to lead the team. This was the current situation.
Even their leader had been kidnapped, so the people below naturally had their own thoughts.
Xue Lin accepted the responsibility in the face of danger. Although his words were still useful in the Huaxia military, he really had no right to speak on the Jianghu people's side. He could only stabilize the situation.
On the other hand, after the news of Chen Guang's capture reached Beijing, there was an uproar.
When that kid was safe and sound, the group of old men in Yan Jing didn't think that he was of much use. But now that he was suddenly lost, they only knew how to cherish him after losing him.
The situation in Yan Jin immediately turned into a mess.
Someone proposed at the meeting that since they now knew the general location of the other party, it was better to take advantage of the fact that they were in Ninghai, a sparsely populated province, to launch a large-scale precise attack and blow them up.
Cao Zhengming, Jiang Yuanchao's nemesis, was the leader of those who held this view.
Jiang Yuanchao and Xue Zhan, on the other hand, strongly opposed the idea. They suggested that even missiles might not be able to completely destroy the enemy. If they failed to achieve their goal, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Moreover, now that Chen Guang was being held hostage, they couldn't possibly blow up the hostage as well, right?
The two groups argued fiercely in the meeting, almost to the point of fighting.
Until the end of the meeting, there was still no conclusion.
"I still feel that this is not so simple. Cao Zhengming is too optimistic about burning the bridge after crossing it. If it was so easy to blow up these people, we wouldn't have to be so troubled. Have you contacted Xue Lin? What do the people there think? "
After the meeting, Jiang Yuanchao complained to Xue Zhan in private.
Xue Zhan sighed. "Now the two Deputy Chiefs are not in the mood to manage things, and the others don't have a legitimate identity. Two major forces in the Jianghu people have betrayed them, and they are very suspicious of each other. Xue Lin can only barely control the situation and prevent it from becoming a complete mess. But there are already people who want to retreat, and there are also people who are on good terms with Sect Leader Xin and Sect Leader Wu who want to fight to the death. One hundred people have one hundred ideas. Sigh. "
"Chen Guang, this kid, sigh."
Jiang Yuanchao sighed, his head full of bumps. "Why was he taken away just like that?"
At this moment, Jiang Yuanchao's personal guard walked in quickly. He glanced at Xue Zhan and hesitated to speak.
Jiang Yuanchao urged, "Just say it, I have nothing to hide from Old Xue."
The personal guard said, "Boss, Miss Jiang is here."
Jiang Yuanchao was stunned. "Why is Yargo here at this time?"
"Miss Jiang said she has something very important to talk to you about."
Jiang Yuanchao thought for a moment. Although Jiang Yage was the apple of her family's eye and was quite favored, she had never participated in political or military affairs. She only focused on being a celebrity, singing whenever she wanted, acting in movies whenever she wanted. Fortunately, she had made a name for herself and didn't embarrass her family.
This time, even if the news of Chen Guang's capture reached her, she should know that with his personality, he would definitely find a way to rescue him and would never sit back and do nothing.
Although Yargo was usually not a proper person, she was actually quite sensible. She knew that he was in a terrible situation, so why would she come here?
"Let her in."
Jiang Yuanchao ordered. "I'm sorry, Old Xue."
Xue Zhan waved his hand. "Maybe Yargo was asked by Shiyue to find out more about the situation. No matter what, for the sake of Shiyue's love for Chen Guang, as the elders, we must try our best. If we can't do it, we can just wait for the other party to negotiate. As long as Chen Guang is not dead, there is still room for negotiation. We can also discuss the conditions they put forward. As long as it is not too much, we can still negotiate within the scope of expediency."
As the two were talking, Jiang Yage pushed the door open with a pale face and walked in quickly. She first looked at Xue Zhan, but without much hesitation, she swallowed and said, "Dad, there is something wrong with Uncle Cao."
Jiang Yuanchao and Xue Zhan were stunned at first, not understanding what Jiang Yage meant.
Jiang Yuanchao said, "You can't just say things like that!"
Jiang Yage lost control of her emotions at that moment. "It was a conspiracy from the beginning! Those people wanted to lure Chen Guang there! I know you wanted to hide Wenwen's whereabouts from Chen Guang, so I wanted to help him, so I secretly asked someone to find out. Then Uncle Cao asked someone to tell me that Wenwen's mobile phone had a signal at the border between Yinxia and Ninghai. I told this to Chen Guang, and that was the reason why Chen Guang would immediately set off with his men! That's why I fell into their trap! I regret it so much! "
Jiang Yuanchao and Xue Zhan looked at each other.
"Yargo, you really can't just say things like that. There must be evidence. Cao Zhengming is also a general of the same rank as us. We can't just convict him based on one side of the story. Moreover, the most important thing for us now is to find a way to rescue Chen Guang. As for the investigation of the mole, let's postpone it for the time being."
Jiang Yage burst into tears. "I know that, but I feel terrible! Didn't Uncle Cao get punished for speaking rudely to Chen Guang during the military exercise? He hated me at that time … "
"Shut up!" Jiang Yuanchao interrupted her without hesitation. Don't say anymore! Now is not the time to pursue this matter! "
Based on Cao Zhengming's performance in the meeting, Jiang Yuanchao knew that his daughter's guess was probably right.
But this kind of speculation, no matter how reasonable it sounded, could never be used as evidence, let alone punished Cao Zhengming for it.
Jiang Yage cried even harder.
Jiang Yuanchao didn't know how to comfort her, so he patted her shoulder. "My good daughter, as your father, I promise you, if the other party threatens us with Chen Guang's life and wants to negotiate with us, even if I have to sacrifice my principles, I will give in on the negotiation table, okay?"
Xue Zhan opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
He felt that it was not right for Jiang Yuanchao to make such a promise to Jiang Yage, but there seemed to be no other way.
After a while, Jiang Yage finally calmed down, but she didn't stay for long. She said that she had to go back to compensate Jin Shiyue and left.
"Sigh."
Jiang Yuanchao heaved a long sigh.
Xue Zhan sighed as well. After a while, Lin Jingwei and Bai Hua, who flew to Yan Jing overnight, also arrived. Their intentions were more or less the same.
No one really wanted to give up on Chen Guang, but in such a hurry, no one could do anything about it.
Everything was passive, and they could only wait for the other party to contact them.
On the other hand, in the campsite by Ninghai Lake, everyone was arguing.
Some people from the sects were already planning to leave.
Xue Lin didn't have much experience, and she didn't have much power in the military. In addition to her young age, she couldn't show her authority in the face of these Internal Force users, whom she could only look up to in the past.
"The two armies are at war. We haven't even seen the person, and the commander is already captured. What's the point of fighting? Why don't we just disband and go back? In the future, we can still take care of our own business. What a joke! "
"Shut up. I think the Blood Cloth Sect is also a traitor. Who doesn't know that you guys like to train with the blood of children?"
"You're slandering us! Since the founding of the nation, the Blood Cloth Sect has never done anything that harms living beings. We all buy and sell openly. Children are not deceived. The blood collection vehicle is also internationally advanced. One needle at a time, strictly sterilized, and resolutely put an end to infectious diseases … "
"Alright, alright. Old man, take a break. You're still thinking of advertising yourself at a time like this."
"My friends in the Jianghu, no matter what, we used to be small businesses in the wild. Although we didn't have to worry about food and clothing, we were always afraid that one day, those in power would suddenly act like the ancient emperors and use their martial arts to break the law and kill us. It was Chief Chen who made the Guangding Headquarters happen. Everyone had a place to settle down. Although they had less freedom than when Ouyang Tianxing was in charge, they had more peace. I feel that we can't turn a blind eye to the burning of bridges after crossing the river. "
"That's right. Chief Chen was captured because the people from the evil sects slapped our faces. What's most important in the Jianghu? Face is the most important! Loyalty is the most important! Chief Chen is our leader. Now that our leader has been captured, are we going to turn around and run? What will the history books say? The history books will scold us for practicing martial arts all our lives, but at the critical moment, we become turtles! Our children and grandchildren will be a laughing stock for generations. This old man can't afford to lose face. "
"Old baldy, you make it sound nice. Then what do you think we should do now? Kill our way in to save them? Who's going to lead the team? You? Aren't you afraid that the people from the evil sects will kill the hostages? Are you going to take responsibility if Chief Chen gets killed? "
"Even so, we can't just turn around and run, right?"
Xue Lin sat in the crowd and watched the group of people making a racket. He tried several times to speak up to maintain order, but he couldn't even raise his voice.
