Chapter 5 Chapter Four

In the courtyard of the Special Service Squadron, the shouts and footsteps of the assembled troops resounded in the silent night sky.In the night, heavily armed soldiers were quickly boarding large camouflage trucks, and soon, one after another, cars drove out of the compound and sped away into the distance. In the deserted streets, the street lights seemed a bit lonely, and the light clusters of street lights were reflected on the windshield of the car, passing by in a flash. Yu Haiying sat in the passenger seat. A cadre held up a walkie-talkie to report the case to the car behind: "Every car pays attention, everyone pays attention. According to the report from the public security agency, the criminal Huang Xiaoqiang, male, 30 years old, is an individual dealer in Jinlan City. Around 1 am on May 18 , the criminal suddenly broke into the home of Yuan Mou who worked in the Municipal Grain Bureau, killed Yuan Mou and his mother Zhang Xiaoya with a 54-type pistol he carried with him, and kidnapped his 15-year-old daughter..."

In the back seat, Zhang Wu listened intently. At this time, in front of a dormitory building, a policeman shouted with a microphone in his hand: "Huang Xiaoqiang, you must calm down, don't hurt the hostages, put down your weapons, and strive for leniency..." On the roof not far away, Huang Xiaoqiang was pointing a gun at the head of the hostage, shouting angrily: "Fuck you, if you keep shouting, I will kill her!" The cars of the special police squadron rushed in and stopped in the yard in front of the dormitory building. The soldiers quickly jumped out of the car and quickly surrounded the dormitory building according to tactics to occupy favorable terrain.

Beside a police car, Yu Haiying and Chief Ma were listening to a policeman in police uniform explain the situation.Suddenly, two gunshots were heard upstairs, and everyone was startled. On the roof, the criminal Huang Xiaoqiang frantically waved his pistol and shouted, "Return immediately, or I will push her down! Do you hear me, why don't you return!" Huang Xiaoqiang fired another shot into the sky. A police officer: "What to do, Director?" Yu Haiying glanced at Director Ma. Director Ma: "Notify the troops to withdraw immediately, and the safety of the hostages must be ensured."

Yu Haiying said unhurriedly: "Director Ma, I have an idea." Director Ma was taken aback, and said, "Say it." Yu Haiying turned around and glanced at a tall building on the left. This building was taller than the building where the criminal was, and it was not far away. It was a good shooting position. Director Ma followed Yu Haiying's gaze and immediately understood Yu Haiying's intentions. Yu Haiying and Chief Ma were sitting in the police car, and the soldiers had quickly retreated, including the feigned snipers, who were also retreating, but they were moving into the shadows on the left.

Director Ma: "I think it's a last resort, the only way is to implement the third plan..." Yu Haiying picked up the walkie-talkie and called: "Zhang Wu, Zhang Wu, do you have a shooting angle?" "There is a shooting angle." Zhang Wu's voice came from the walkie-talkie. Yu Haiying glanced at Huang Xiaoqiang, who was twisting wildly, and asked again: "The target moves erratically, are you sure?" Zhang Wu firmly said: "Yes!" Yu Haiying pondered for a while, and gave an order: "Seize the opportunity to defeat the enemy with one move, and ensure the safety of the hostages."

Zhang Wu: "Understood." Zhang Wu and others lay down in the corridor and watched carefully. Huang Xiaoqiang on the roof was writhing crazily, getting more and more agitated.From the scope of the sniper rifle, the figures of the criminal and the hostages were constantly shaking, and it was difficult to seize the opportunity. Zhang Wu patiently observed with a gun. Soon, the criminal suddenly lit a cigarette, and at this moment, Zhang Wu decisively pressed the trigger. "boom." There was a long sound of gunfire, and the criminal was shot and fell down. Lu Tao was watching the news of the commendation ceremony on TV at home, and Zhang Wu was wearing a big red flower on his chest, smiling all over his face.

Luo Jing came over and handed him a glass of milk. Lu Tao's face was not excited, even a little gloomy. He suddenly thought of Han Fei who was still in the confinement room.He put the milk on the table, stood up abruptly, and said, "Ah Jing, are things ready?" "All right." "Take it out." Lu Tao stood up while talking, and Luo Jing walked into the back room. Lu Tao took off the police uniform from the coat rack and put it on, took a box of sweet oranges that Luo Jing had brought out, and walked out the door. In the confinement room, Han Fei was lying on the bed with his back to the door, a policy covering his face, and he recited weakly: "Article 7 of the discipline policy..."

The door of the confinement room opened. Lu Tao came in with a sweet orange and put it on the table. He walked to the bed, glanced at Han Fei, and said, "Well, you have a good attitude." He said and covered Han Fei's face. The ordinance was taken down. Han Fei remained silent. "What's the matter? I'm sick." Han Fei remained silent. Lu Tao reached out and patted Han Fei. Han Fei sat up from the bed at once, his eyes were red, and he was full of grievances. He said, "Detachment Captain, have you forgotten me?" Lu Tao didn't speak, and sat beside Han Fei's bed.

Han Fei: "When will my affairs be settled?" Lu Tao said calmly, "You can rest for a few more days." Han Fei: "Rest? I've been resting for almost a month!" Lu Tao: "I'll discuss this matter with the Chief of Staff." Han Fei: "Is it the head of the detachment or the head of the staff? Who has the final say between you two?" Lu Tao: "You are mainly at the point of the gun, and the chief of staff is also very embarrassed." Han Fei was aggrieved: "You still speak for him?" Lu Tao patted Han Fei on the head, stood up, turned and left without saying anything.

The meeting room of the party committee is brightly lit. At the party committee, Xiao Mingliang said: "The matter of Han Fei has been dragging on for so long, and the officers and soldiers have reacted a lot. Everyone is staring at this matter. Comrades, what do you think?" Member A of the Party Committee: "Yesterday, a cadre told me a jingle, saying that the more meetings there are, the more chaos will occur, and accidents will happen after the rectification!" Party committee member B: "That's a joke." Yu Haiying: "So Han Fei's matter must be dealt with seriously! Dealing with Han Fei is to make an example! If Han Fei is not dealt with, this rectification is just a formality!"

Lu Tao: "How to deal with it? It's already in confinement, what else do you want to do?" Everyone calmed down and looked at Lu Tao. Lu Tao glanced at Yu Haiying, and said slowly: "We should treat our comrades mainly with criticism and education. Do we still have to dismiss him and change jobs!" Yu Haiying was very firm: "Yes!" Lu Tao: "Yu Haiying, why do you have ten fingers pointing outward? If you make a small mistake, you will be beaten to death with a stick. Who will dare to do anything with us in the future?" Yu Haiying: "I also want to help Han Fei, but regulations are laws, and this is a matter of principle." Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, his face was full of anger, and he wanted to say something, but Xiao Mingliang stopped him. He said, "I think so, let's vote by show of hands according to the organizational principles, and agree to deal with Han Fei's show of hands." Yu Haiying raised his hand without hesitation, and Xiao Mingliang followed suit.Other party committee members look at me and I look at you, not knowing what to do. In the morning, on the playground of the Special Service Squadron, Yu Haiying read out an order to all officers and soldiers: "...in view of Comrade Han Fei's above-mentioned performance, he will be dismissed from the post of Special Service Squadron Leader, and Zhang Wu, the staff officer of the headquarters, will take over. Han Fei's work will be arranged separately." Standing in the line, Zhang Wu glanced at Han Fei with a complicated expression. Han Fei half-opened his mouth, dumbfounded. After the order was read, Han Fei returned to the dormitory without looking back. He sat on the chair and played the guitar. Han Fei sang softly along with the melody: "Follow the feeling, please hold the hand of Meng..." The singing was very sad . Zhang Wu came in carrying a few bottles of beer with a heavy heart. Han Fei stopped, threw the guitar on the bed, and said loudly, "Oh, do you have some wine?" Zhang Wu didn't speak. He sat down on the camp bed, bit the cap of a bottle of beer with his teeth, and handed the beer to Han Fei.He bit another bottle, touched Han Fei, and drank it like blowing a trumpet. Han Fei put down his wine glass, glanced at Zhang Wu, and said nonchalantly, "What are you doing, buddy? Are you making it so heavy?" Zhang Wu said sadly, "I'm sorry!" Han Fei suddenly laughed and said, "What's the matter? I don't blame you. Let's make another arrangement. Maybe you can arrange a better place for me." "But, after all, I took your seat." "This is so easy." Han Fei said, helping Zhang Wu to sit on the chair, then sat on the bed by himself, and said, "This chair belongs to you." Zhang Wu was embarrassed: "Then what should you do?" "Hi! Follow your feelings!" Han Fei looked indifferent, which made Zhang Wu feel more guilty, and he was at a loss for words for a while. Han Fei: "Let's just find a place to celebrate and celebrate. It's almost time for dinner anyway." Zhang Wu suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, no, I have to go, let's go another day." Han Fei understood and said: "Go, say hello to her for me!" Zhang Wu got up and left in a hurry. Before leaving, Han Fei warned: "Be careful to keep it secret, and be careful that the tiger eats you!" Time flies, Zhang Wu has been down for more than two months in a blink of an eye, and the army is still stable.Yesterday, the Special Service Squadron won the first place in the group's total score in the military competition of the corps, and fought another beautiful battle.This time, Yu Haiying was so beautiful, he secretly rejoiced that Zhang Wu was a useful talent, and he didn't miss him. Just after work the next day, Yu Haiying broke into Xiao Mingliang's office excitedly holding a newspaper, and said happily, "Commissioner, Zhang Wu has reported again." Xiao Mingliang sat at his desk and read the letter without raising his head, and replied, "I saw it." Yu Haiying: "Political commissar, Zhang Wu did a great job in killing criminals last time. In less than a month, he won the first place in the team's shooting competition. I think this kid should be promoted early." Xiao Mingliang showed embarrassment. Yu Haiying asked: "What's wrong? He doesn't have enough qualifications?" Xiao Mingliang: "Enough. But, you should read this first." He picked up the letter on the table and handed it to Yu Haiying. Yu Haiying took the letter, looked dumbfounded, and said: "This is impossible, I don't believe Zhang Wu did this?" At night, the moonlight poured down faintly, coating the scenery in the night with a layer of silver light. The sound of "bang bang bang" came from the back of the special service squadron's pigsty. A sandbag was hanging between two coconut trees. Yu Haiying came over with a flashlight. Lin Ah Shui stopped immediately. "Punch with an inch of strength." Yu Haiying handed the flashlight to Lin Ah Shui, went over to demonstrate two punches, and asked, "Have you seen your Captain Zhang tonight?" Lin Ah Shui shook her head and said, "He should be in the dormitory now." Yu Haiying oh, and then said to Lin Ah Shui: "You practice." Yu Haiying left, just two steps away, Lin Ah Shui suddenly shouted: "Chief of Staff, I want to go back to the combat squad!" Yu Haiying remembered that since Lin Ahshui's gun was touched last time, he ordered Lin Ahshui to be sent to the logistics team as a breeder. Why is he still working as a breeder after so long? Yu Haiying froze for a moment, then continued walking. In the middle of the night, a black shadow jumped down from the wall of the Special Service Squadron. As soon as the black shadow landed, he was held down by Yu Haiying: "What are you doing?" "It's me, Zhang Wu." Zhang Wu looked up and saw that it was Yu Haiying, and was terrified. "It seems that I underestimated you, Zhang Wu. Some people said that you were flirting with local young women, and I spoke for you. I didn't expect you to be so familiar with stealing things." Zhang Wu bowed his head and said nothing. "Don't pretend to be dumb, tell me, which woman are you dating?" Zhang Wu raised his head and said, "I haven't." Yu Haiying: "No? Then what are you doing in the middle of the night?" Zhang Wu: "...I'm hungry, let's go out to eat." Yu Haiying: "Who are you fooling! Is it necessary to be a thief when eating?" Zhang Wu: "You sit at the gate, I dare not enter, so I made this bad move..." Yu Haiying: "Let me tell you, Zhang Wu, if you want people to be unaware, you have to do nothing about it. Someone wrote a letter to tell you, it seems that it is definitely not groundless, right?" Zhang Wu: "I really didn't flirt with local young women." Yu Haiying: "You don't cry when you see the coffin. If I find out, then don't say I'm merciless. Tell you Zhang Wu, beautiful women love heroes, and heroes can't love beautiful women!" Zhang Wu: "I really don't love beautiful women." Yu Haiying: "Would you like us to speak with facts? Write a story and give it to me as soon as we get back. It should be detailed." Yu Haiying finished speaking and left. The next day, in the study room of the Special Service Squadron, a cadre was giving a lecture to the officers and soldiers, and the words "The Meaning of the Soldier's Oath" were written on the blackboard. "...it is necessary for us to revisit the military oath. This issue may seem simple, but it is actually complicated, because the military oath is related to the goals we are fighting for. As Chief of Staff Yu often said, the ABC problem is both the smallest problem and the is the biggest problem..." The cadre stopped suddenly. He saw Yu Haiying approaching and shouted, "Stand up." All officers and soldiers stood up. Yu Haiying walked to the podium and said solemnly: "Announce a decision." The officers and soldiers immediately stood at attention. "According to the decision of the detachment's party committee, starting today, the entire team will implement closed management. All personnel are not allowed to communicate with the outside world, go out without permission, watch TV without permission, or participate in social activities without permission..." Zhang Wu stood in the line, his eyes widened. At dusk, when Yu Haiying was standing under the tree, Han Fei walked over with his guitar in his arms, and said cynically, "Chief of Staff, why did you remember to meet me?" Yu Haiying: "I heard that you play the guitar well." Han Fei still said in the same tone: "It's so-so, how about it, present a song for the chief of staff?" He plucked the strings. Yu Haiying: "Recently, how is your relationship with Zhang Wu?" Han Fei: "Good! Very good!" Yu Haiying: "Is there anything unusual about him?" Han Fei said sloppily: "No, he stays here all day, much better than me." Yu Haiying said earnestly, "Han Fei, it's a last resort to take you down from Secret Service." Han Fei: "Chief of Staff, I think you haven't handled this matter cleanly enough. You should transfer me to another job. Maybe you will send a millionaire to the local area!" Yu Haiying: "Han Fei, you are such a dead pig that you are not afraid of boiling water!" Han Fei: "I am responding to the call of the revolutionary predecessors. A soldier is just a brick, and he can move it wherever he needs to. But talents like the chief of staff are different. No matter how they move, they are better than us little carrots." Yu Haiying was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke. A soldier ran over to Han Fei and said, "Captain Han, the detachment leader is calling for you." Han Fei looked at Yu Haiying in embarrassment and asked, "Can I take it?" Yu Haiying was so angry that he walked away with his hands behind his back. At dusk, the soldiers’ dormitory of the Special Service Squadron was very lively. The soldiers were chatting and laughing happily. A sergeant stood up and said excitedly in a northeast accent, “The winner of the 81st Weekend Love Letter Contest has been chosen, and the winner is… " The room suddenly fell silent. A soldier: "Who is it? Squad leader, tell me quickly." Sergeant: "It's the boy, Lin Ah Shui." Everyone cheered, Lin Ah Shui just smirked. Sergeant: "Everyone be quiet! The next performance begins, and I will read aloud first. Everyone, prepare your emotions and be full of affection." The sergeant cleared his throat, and then read emotionally: "Shui Shui, whom I've been thinking about day and night... oh my god, it's more sour than our old sauerkraut in Northeast China..." Everyone booed: "Hurry up and read..." The sergeant was full of energy: "I received your letter yesterday. I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night. I went to the small river we used to go to at the entrance of the village. Shui Shui, do you still remember that here, you kissed me for the first time ... Oh my god, I can't do it anymore, I'm about to vomit, Old Hei, read it." A soldier took the letter and was about to read it, when he suddenly saw Yu Haiying and Zhang Wu coming in, he hurriedly stood up: "Chief of Staff!" There was a sudden silence in the room. Yu Haiying: "What are you doing? It's so lively." Sarge: "Report to the Chief of Staff, we're studying the house rules, just learned Article 81..." Yu Haiying: "Article 81 is, you kissed me for the first time, right?" Everyone snickered. Yu Haiying picked up the poker on the table and said to Zhang Wu: "Today is the weekend, you organize everyone to go out and play some poker. I have something to do in the evening, so you keep an eye on it." After speaking, Yu Haiying turned and left. Everyone cheered, Zhang Wu walked to the door with a heavy heart, looked into the distance, he saw Yu Haiying got into the car, and the jeep started to leave. At dusk, the street at the gate of the Special Service Squadron was full of traffic. Zhang Wu, wearing casual clothes and carrying a bag, hurried out to hail a taxi. Yu Haiying watched Zhang Wu get into the car, started the jeep parked at the corner of the street, and followed. The taxi turned around on the street, suddenly turned into an alley, and stopped.Zhang Wu got out of the car and walked in. Yu Haiying parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car and followed. Zhang Wu stopped in front of a private house, looked around, and knocked on the door.The door opened quickly, and Zhang Wu stepped in. Yu Haiying followed to the door and heard a female voice from inside the room: "Why did it take you so long to come? I'm almost starving to death." Zhang Wu: "No way, our chief of staff is staring at me like a dog looking at a bone, and we can't get out at all." Yu Haiying knocked on the door. "Who is it?" It was Zhang Wu's voice. Yu Haiying replied angrily: "Dog!" Zhang Wu opened the door in great horror, and called out uneasily, "Chief of Staff?" Yu Haiying ignored Zhang Wu and went straight into the house. Yu Haiying froze for a moment, Li Hongmei sat on the bed with a sick face, and there were some medicines on the bedside table. Yu Haiying took a stern look at Zhang Wu and said, "What's going on?" Zhang Wu hesitated to speak, and squatted to the side with his head down. Li Hongmei stood up and said weakly: "Chief, it's not Zhang Wu's fault. If you want to blame it, you can blame me. I'm the one who dragged him down." Seeing that Li Hongmei was not in good condition, Yu Haiying immediately walked over to comfort him and said, "Li Hongmei, you can lie down first, there is nothing wrong." Then he helped Li Hongmei to sit on the edge of the bed, then turned to Zhang Wu and said, "You Take good care of Hongmei and return to the team before lights out." After finishing speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. Li Hongmei rushed over and grabbed Yu Haiying, and said, "Chief, you must listen to my explanation. Zhang Wu is really not to blame for this matter..." Yu Haiying comforted her and said: "I know, I know everything, there's nothing wrong, just lie down first, ah!" Yu Haiying pushed away Li Hongmei's hand and was about to leave when Li Hongmei knelt down in front of Haiying and cried, "Boss!" Yu Haiying pulled Li Hongmei and said, "Hongmei, what are you doing?" Zhang Wu also hurried forward to pull Li Hongmei. Li Hongmei: "Chief, if you don't listen to me, I will kneel down here!" Yu Haiying quickly agreed to Li Hongmei. Only then did Li Hongmei stand up and said, "Last time you sent me away and got off the boat. I bought another ticket and came back. Zhang Wu didn't know about this at all. If it wasn't for the fact that I didn't have a temporary residence permit for the special zone that day, Being detained by the police, I will never bother Zhang Wu. If I tell half a lie, I will be hacked by Lei Gong!" Yu Haiying: "I know what you're saying is the truth. Sit down first, okay?" He helped Li Hongmei to the side of the bed and sat down, and asked, "Li Hongmei, you just left, why did you come back?" Li Hongmei: "Because I can't go back." Said Li Hongmei and started to cry. Yu Haiying turned around and asked Zhang Wu, "Why can't you go back?" Zhang Wu said nothing, Li Hongmei stopped crying, and said: "I am in the same village as Zhang Wu, and we have been good since we were young. Later, he came out to serve as a soldier, and I have been waiting for him at home. Last year, in order to pay for my younger brother to go to school, my father was confused. I received a bride price from the head of the township, and forced me to marry his son. I had no mother since I was a child, and my father was in charge of everything in the house, but I couldn't live or die in this matter, so I ran away I came here to look for Zhang Wu. I didn't expect your army to have regulations..." He started to cry again. Zhang Wu held his head sullenly beside him, sobbing softly. Yu Haiying poured water for Li Hongmei, and Zhang Wu quickly took it. Yu Haiying said angrily, "Zhang Wu, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Zhang Wu stood there stupidly, thinking: "I wanted to tell you, but did you believe me at that time?" The cars on the street are constantly flowing, and the surrounding neon lights are flashing in the night sky.Yu Haiying came over with a heavy heart, opened the car door and got in. Just as he was about to start the car, he found Li Hongmei standing in front of the car and Zhang Wu standing far behind.Yu Haiying opened the door and got off the car, and Li Hongmei walked up to him. Li Hongmei said: "Chief, you haven't promised me yet?" "Promise what?" Yu Haiying asked back. "Promise me not to embarrass Zhang Wu. If I ruin his future, I will be ashamed of him for the rest of my life." Yu Haiying didn't answer her, but waved to Zhang Wu. Zhang Wu ran over, and Yu Haiying opened the rear door and said, "Both of you get in the car." The two looked at Yu Haiying puzzledly, got into the car, and Yu Haiying started the car and left. Zhang Wu asked Yu Haiying suspiciously: "Chief of Staff, where are you taking us?" Yu Haiying didn't speak and continued to drive.The light from the oncoming headlights flashed across his face, making it impossible to see his expression. Li Hongmei and Zhang Wu looked at each other, their eyes filled with melancholy and tension. Turning a corner, the jeep stopped at the entrance of a restaurant. Yu Haiying got off, opened the rear door, and said to Zhang Wu and Li Hongmei, "Get out of the car." Zhang Wu became even more stupid, and asked, "Why?" Yu Haiying: "Eat." Li Hongmei glanced at Zhang Wu, and the two got out of the car. At the shift meeting of the chiefs the next morning, Xiao Mingliang, Lu Tao and other detachment leaders sat in a state of distress and listened to Yu Haiying's introduction: "... Zhang Wu's incident happened like this. I was in charge of the administration of the army, and such a problem occurred. The responsibility lies with me. Here, I will review to everyone and ask the party committee to punish me.” Xiao Mingliang: "I think this issue should be looked at objectively. Zhang Wu's failure to report his secrets violated the army's regulations. But he had a reason for his incident, and he was helpless. Today we are studying the issue of reporting the list of job transfers. The matter of Zhang Wu Let me let it go first." Party committee member B: "But Zhang Wu did violate discipline, and this is also a problem. Since the researcher has changed his career, this factor must be considered." Member A of the Party Committee: "There are problems with Li Hongmei's work, board and lodging. We can't deal with other people changing jobs at this time." Xiao Mingliang: "Old Lu, what's your opinion?" Lu Tao: "Well, I have to ask Yu Haiying." Yu Haiying froze for a moment and said, "Why do you ask me? You are the leader." Xiao Mingliang: "This matter is really urgent, Lao Lu, if you have any ideas, just say it." Lu Tao: "I can understand Zhang Wu's situation, and Li Hongmei's experience is indeed worthy of sympathy. But Chief of Staff Yu has taught us many times that a bowl of water should be flat. A few days ago he proposed to let Han Fei change jobs. I didn't express my opinion. Because everyone knows that Han Fei was my correspondent in the past, so I have to avoid it. I will express my opinion today. In order to reflect justice, I think it is best for both of them to change jobs together this year." Yu Haiying: "Han Fei is not suitable for working in the army, but Zhang Wu is born to lead the army, and he is a talent. What do you want him to do?" Lu Tao said nonchalantly: "I think publicity is righteousness, honesty is prestige, and everyone must be treated equally." Yu Haiying was choked up.He never expected that he wanted to help Lu Tao with all his heart, but he sang the opposite stage with Lu Tao by accident, and it would be okay if he didn't sing.He finally realized the meaning of the idiom "involuntary". Due to disagreement, Zhang Wu and Han Fei's handling was put on hold.This afternoon, there were dark clouds and thunder. Yu Haiying felt that the weather was just like his mood at the moment, so he came to the secret service squadron to guide the closed management. A group of soldiers ran while shouting slogans. Zhang Wu walked to the wall and stood behind Yu Haiying.Several workers were standing on the scaffold and were raising the fence, Yu Haiying was talking to them. "Chief of Staff." Zhang Wu called out cautiously. Yu Haiying found Zhang Wu and asked, "What are you doing? Is there something wrong?" Zhang Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "Chief of Staff, is there anything going on these two days?" Yu Haiying: "What's the situation?" Zhang Wu: "I seem to have heard some rumors that I will change jobs?" Yu Haiying: "Don't think about it, take your soldiers there." "Yes." After hearing what Yu Haiying meant, Zhang Wu turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yu Haiying: "Wait." Zhang Wu stopped and looked at Yu Haiying in panic.Yu Haiying walked over and asked softly, "Is Li Hongmei better?" "It's much better." Zhang Wu breathed a sigh of relief. "What are your plans for the next step?" "I want her to go back, but..." "If she can go back, won't she go back early? I think so, find her a job, do it first, and then think of other ways." Zhang Wu looked at Yu Haiying in surprise. He didn't believe that Yu Haiying, who they usually secretly compared to a tiger, would say such a thing. Yu Haiying: "However, she cannot come to the army, nor can she affect your work." Zhang Wu looked at Yu Haiying gratefully, and said, "Understood." Yu Haiying asked again: "Are there any difficulties in life?" Zhang Wu: "No. Food and lodging have been arranged for Han Fei..." Yu Haiying was stunned for a moment: "Han Fei?" Zhang Wu: "What's wrong?" Yu Haiying understood: "He already knew that Li Hongmei hadn't left?" Zhang Wu: "Yes. But this matter has nothing to do with him, he has good intentions..." Yu Haiying quickly said: "It's okay, don't think about it, go." Zhang Wu left with a puzzled look on his face. Jinlan has been very hot these days, because there has been no tropical storm for a long time, and many crops in the fields have died.When Yu Haiying came to the construction site of the detachment's office building, a gust of hot wind blew his face. He subconsciously looked up at the incandescent sun. Today he came here specially to find Lu Tao for reconciliation. On the construction site, Lu Tao and Qiu Yongxing wore hard hats and listened to the technicians report on the progress of the project while walking. An engineer wearing glasses introduced: "...The hydropower project is progressing relatively smoothly. All the drainage pipes have been installed, and the circuit installation is currently underway, and the wiring is nearing completion..." Lu Tao: "The construction period has to be rushed forward, and our people are all hopeless." Qiu Yongxing took over the conversation and said to the people beside him, "Jia Gong, work overtime at night to make progress." Jia Gong nodded in response. Qiu Yongxing turned to Lu Tao again and said, "However, Captain Lu, you have to pay the overtime pay!" Lu Tao: "Not only is there no overtime pay, but the quality and quantity must be guaranteed." At this moment, Yu Haiying came over. Qiu Yongxing turned around and said cheerfully, "Hey, Chief of Staff Yu, why are you here? A rare visitor!" Lu Tao glanced at Yu Haiying and asked, "What's the matter?" Yu Haiying: "I want to talk to you." Lu Tao: "What are you talking about, didn't you see that I'm busy?" After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Qiu Yongxing: "I can put the ugly words up front. If there is a problem with the quality of the project, you will definitely not be able to pass the acceptance inspection." Qiu Yongxing immediately said with a smile: "Detachment Captain, don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem." Lu Tao and Qiu Yongxing walked out of the construction site, and Yu Haiying quickly followed. Everyone walked to the temporary gate built by the bamboo shed, and Qiu Yongxing got into the car and left. Yu Haiying seized the gap to stop Lu Tao, and said with a smile, "It's really hard for the detachment leader to come to inspect the construction site in such a hot day." Lu Tao ignored him, threw his helmet to a worker, walked towards the car, and Yu Haiying hurried forward to stop him. Lu Tao: "Isn't it hard for you to come to me on such a hot day? Tell me, what's the matter?" Yu Haiying: "I want to discuss Zhang Wu's matter with you." Lu Tao: "Zhang Wu and Han Fei are going together. I have already stated my position at the meeting." Yu Haiying said stubbornly: "Zhang Wu can't leave, look..." Lu Tao: "Then I'll go!" Yu Haiying choked. Lu Tao got into the car, and the car left with a "boom".Yu Haiying stood blankly on the construction site, the roar of the machine vibrating in the night sky. Lu Tao's attitude was very tough, and Yu Haiying had nothing to do, so he ran to find Xiao Mingliang in desperation.Xiao Mingliang didn't make any moves either. After all, Lu Tao's request was reasonable, and he was the leader of the detachment in charge of administrative management of the detachment. Xiao Mingliang said that he could not help Yu Haiying. This matter became a deadlock, and Yu Haiying had no way to recover, it seemed that Zhang Wu was going to leave. The night is quiet and the music of the piano is sweet. Han Fei sat on a small table in the study room of the Secret Service Squadron, surrounded by several soldiers, listening to him play and sing. Zhang Wu kicked the door open with a bang, and stood at the door with a gloomy face. "Zhang Wu, what happened?" Han Fei asked. Zhang Wu wanted to say something but didn't say it, turned around and left. "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Han Fei stood up, dropped his guitar and chased after him. Walking to Zhang Wu's dormitory, Zhang Wu grabbed a bottle of beer and poured it into his mouth. Han Fei pushed the door open and came in, saying, "You boy, you've been outside for a while, why are you so drunk when you come back?" Zhang Wu put down the wine bottle and stared at Han Fei blankly, with a fire in his heart. Han Fei: "Your eyes are wrong, your eyes are wrong." Zhang Wu sneered. Han Fei came over and said softly, "Did you quarrel with Li Hongmei?" "Don't pretend, did you tell the detachment leader?" Zhang Wu was a little excited. Han Fei was stunned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhang Wu: "I understand! You don't want to go alone, so you drag me to back you up, right?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Wu would be so small-minded, which made Han Fei very sad. He sneered and said, "Zhang Wu, don't talk nonsense, what is the relationship between us, huh?" Zhang Wu: "I think I haven't figured it out for a long time. No one else knows about Li Hongmei except you. How could it be brought to the party committee? Is it because you are used to being a correspondent for the detachment leader, and you also report this matter to the party committee?" He called, huh?" Han Fei stood up abruptly, pointed at Zhang Wu, and said, "Zhang Wu, you were bitten by a mad dog? Why do you bite people whenever you see them?" "It was you who betrayed me, don't deny it!" Zhang Wu grabbed the bottle and wanted to drink again. Han Fei snatched the bottle over and said, "Zhang Wu, it was you who told me that the tiger blocked you and Li Hongmei in the hut. Why don't you doubt him, but you must doubt me!" Speaking of Han Fei throwing the wine bottle out of the window, Zhang Wu looked at Han Fei stupidly, and heard the sound of the wine bottle breaking through the silent night sky. Zhang Wu's heart was also broken. It began to drizzle in the early morning, and Yu Haiying just walked out of the dormitory doorway wearing a raincoat, when he saw a person standing with his back in the rain, motionless. Yu Haiying walked over and saw the rain on Zhang Wu's face, and asked quickly, "Zhang Wu, what are you doing standing here so early in the morning?" Zhang Wu looked at Yu Haiying and didn't speak. "You're crazy!" Yu Haiying said as he pulled Zhang Wu into the doorway. Zhang Wu: "Chief of Staff, do you want me to go?" Yu Haiying: "Who did you listen to?" Zhang Wu: "Don't the leaders of the detachment know about me?" Yu Haiying: "You are not a member of the party committee, how come you know better than me, who told you to change jobs? Has the order been announced?" Zhang Wu looked at Yu Haiying, and suddenly begged: "I won't leave, even if I'm killed!" Yu Haiying patted Zhang Wu's head and comforted him, "I don't want you to go either." Yu Haiying pushed open the door of Xiao Mingliang's office, Xiao Mingliang was looking at the documents. Yu Haiying: "Political Commissar, this matter must be investigated." "Check what?" Xiao Mingliang walked over. Yu Haiying: "Find out about the air leak." Xiao Mingliang: "Oh, you mean changing jobs?" Yu Haiying: "Why is there a lot of discussion at the bottom about the undecided matter in the meeting at the top, which makes the morale of the army unstable. If this continues, how will the rectification be carried out, and how will the troops be led?" Xiao Mingliang: "You are right. Strict soldiers must first be strict with officials. We will have a meeting in the afternoon to talk about this issue. However, the leaders disagree, and it is easy to have ideas below. Haiying, you have communicated with Lao Lu ?" Yu Haiying glanced at Xiao Mingliang and sat down on the sofa. Han Fei came to Lu Tao's house suddenly. Lu Tao was not surprised at all, because the list of cadres who will change jobs will be made in the next two days, and this kid is likely to be on the list. He thinks this is tricky. Luo Jing was very enthusiastic when she saw Han Fei, and kept handing Han Fei watermelons.Han Fei ate voraciously, and yelled as he ate, "Oh sister-in-law, this is the last piece, if you eat any more, your stomach will explode!" Lu Tao lit a 35 brand cigarette and said, "Han Fei, are you alright?" "I'm on a long vacation." Han Fei answered while eating. Han Fei turned his back on customers and handed a piece of watermelon to Lu Tao. Lu Tao took it and put it on the table, and then said: "Your business is a bit troublesome, I am doing work. Either you and Zhang Wu both leave, or both of you stay... ..." "Go if you should go, and stay if you should." Han Fei took out a job change report from his pocket, handed it to Lu Tao, and said, "The situation in the special zone is very good now, and I want to go to the sea too!" Lu Tao stared at Han Fei and asked, "Do you really want to leave?" Han Fei nodded and said, "But Zhang Wu should stay." Lu Tao threw the materials on the table and said, "Are you in charge of this matter?!" On the day when the job change list was about to be reported, the situation changed.Early in the morning, Yu Haiying hurried to the door of the conference room, Xiao Mingliang went up to him and stopped him. Yu Haiying asked: "Political commissar, what's the matter in such a hurry?" Xiao Mingliang: "Lu Tao proposed to review the transferred personnel today." Yu Haiying was taken aback. Xiao Mingliang: "I think there is a turning point. No matter what he says at the meeting, you must stay calm." Yu Haiying: "I don't want to quarrel with him either. But Han Fei is leaving, Zhang Wu is staying, I have absolutely no selfish intentions, it's for army building." Xiao Mingliang: "I know that." Yu Haiying: "But Lu Tao doesn't know." Xiao Mingliang: "I know Lu Tao, he still has a big picture. He is so stubborn, could it be because of something else..." Yu Haiying: "What else can he have?" Xiao Mingliang will be pulled into the conference room by Haiying. This is the last party committee meeting for demobilized cadres. While the detachment was nervously confirming the list of demobilized cadres, in the special service squadron yard, Han Fei was wearing a police uniform, embracing the squadron cadres with a happy face and taking pictures in exaggerated poses.Therefore, the comrades in arms all guessed that Han Fei must have fixed it, and he must not have changed jobs this year. 林阿水边喊“一、二、三”，边调整焦距为韩非拍照，张武躲在宿舍瞧着韩非，越瞧越糊涂，他走了过去。 “来来，再来一张。”韩非嚷着，突然看见张武向这边走来，他忙跑过去拉住张武，说：“老张，咱俩来一张。” 张武：“你这么高兴，留下了？” 韩非：“留下了我照哪门子像呀？我这是告别。” 张武：“命令还没宣布，告什么别呀。” 韩非：“我这不是替你做工作吗？” 张武：“替我做工作？” 韩非：“对呀，我告诉大家要热爱部队呀。等我以后发了财，你可以拿出照片教育官兵们，就说这个就是我们中队培养出来的百万富翁。” 张武：“你这是一切向钱看嘛。” 韩非：“向钱看有什么不对？现在这个年代是，大道理一筐，不如大团结一张。” 韩非说着就去勾张武的脖子，张武突然意识到什么，一把将他推开，问：“你真要走？” 韩非：“早晚的事儿。” 张武想到了自己的命运，心事重重地走到一边。 韩非拉住张武：“别怕，不就是走吗？兄弟给你先打个前站，等我当了李嘉诚，给你弄个老总什么的干干。” 一名士兵跑过来喊：“队长，电话。” 张武转身向队部跑去。 金澜码头售票口，李红梅正在排队买票。张武急匆匆地跑来，将李红梅拉出队伍。 张武：“票别买了。” 李红梅：“你这是干什么？” 张武：“你先别着急走。” 李红梅：“你就别折腾了。这主意是我自己拿的，深圳那边已经联系好了，你们参谋长说得对，等你条件够了，我再堂堂正正地过来。”说着转身欲向售票口走。 张武拉住李红梅：“也许这条件永远都够不着了。” 李红梅奇怪地问：“怎么了？” 张武：“韩非走了，看来我在部队也干不成了。” 李红梅：“参谋长不是不让你走吗？” 张武：“参谋长不让我走，听说支队长想让我走呀。如果那样的话，你走就没意义了。” 李红梅什么也没说，本想自己走让张武留，看来晚了。两人只好往回走到码头的防风堤上坐下，远处传来的汽笛声打断了他们的思绪。 这次党委会的保密工作做得非常好，直到宣布命令的那一天，也没泄露半点消息。 那天，清晨的营院里漂浮着薄薄的晨雾，如梦如幻。 于海鹰、陆涛等人心情复杂地站在队伍中，所有机关干部和基层干部们站成一列。 肖明亮宣布总队的命令：“……根据支队党委决定，下列警官退出现役。特勤中队副队长韩非，金澜支队后勤处助理员魏天，一中队副指导员杨明。以上同志光荣退出现役……” 张武瞪大了眼睛，因为没他的名字。 命令宣布完了，韩非回到自己的宿舍收拾东西，张武走过来递给韩非一块电子表，说：“这个你收下。” 韩非嘴里叼着烟，接过电子表戴上，还是一脸的无所谓，他笑着说：“你是不是想让我象李红梅一样，分分秒秒都想着你呀？” 张武没说话，他的心情很沉重。 士兵们在一旁默默地帮韩非整理东西，依依不舍的样子。韩非顺手拿过吉它递给林阿水，说：“留着吧，好好练啊。” 林阿水点点头。 韩非又问身边的一个干部：“可以交接了吧？” 干部点点头。 韩非把一叠文件、一叠书、一串钥匙、一只电筒放在桌上，说：“就这些了，现在正式移交给张队长了。” 张武接过东西，问：“不是两个一块走吗，到底怎么回事？” 韩非：“组织安排呗。” 韩非突然想起了什么，转身对张武说：“对了，还有这副肩章，你来帮个忙。” 张武过来帮他一个一个摘去肩章，韩非拿起大檐帽，摘下帽徽，心情忽然变得沉重了。 韩非“呸”一口吐掉嘴里的烟，走到镜子前，缓缓把没有帽徽的大檐帽戴上，镜子里照出了韩非没有帽徽和肩章的形象。穿了十几年的警服脱了，他突然觉得心里空空的，酸酸的，还是有点舍不得。他盯着镜子里的自己，从军的往事历历在目，他完全投入到往事之中去了，忘记了一切…… “韩非。”张武轻声叫道。 韩非没有动，他还没从往事中醒来。张武走到他的面前，只见韩非已经泪流满面。 “韩非，我的好兄弟！”张武又情不自禁地唤了一声。 韩非回过神来，他擦着泪水，躬身把自己扔在地上的烟头拾起来，扔进烟灰缸里，他想自己应该给战友们留下一个干干净净的形象。 当天，转业干部的送行酒是在支队机关食堂统一安排的。告别的宴会上，陆涛和韩非碰杯，韩非一口将酒喝完，陆涛也眼圈湿润，拍了拍韩非的肩膀，一口将酒喝下，转身离去。 于海鹰端起酒杯说：“韩非，我敬你一杯，如果有什么对不住的地方，你不要放在心上。” 韩非：“参谋长，看你说到哪去了？我是支队长的通讯员，也是你的通讯员呀，今后有什么事你尽管吩咐。” 肖明亮语重心长地说：“韩非啊，你记住，到地方后一定好好干，别给咱们支队丢脸。” 韩非：“政委您放心，我这脸早锁在保险柜里了，就算把命丢了，这脸也丢不了。” 于海鹰：“有骨气，我和政委一起敬你一杯。” 三人干杯，一饮而尽。 陆涛在另外一桌上正被一群转业干部围攻，他向一名转业干部敬酒，说：“你们记住，支队永远是你们的家，永远是你们的坚强后盾。” 陆涛一席话，说得转业干部心里暖暖的。一名转业干部端起酒杯说：“我再敬支队长一杯，这杯酒你得喝了，等支队长当了将军我们就没机会敬了。” 陆涛笑着说：“你将我的军吧，老樊。”说着把酒干了。 于海鹰端着酒杯走到陆涛跟前，说：“支队长，我想敬你一杯。” 陆涛：“我又不走，你敬我干嘛？” 陆涛扭头把在一个角落喝闷酒的张武叫过来，说：“张武，要不是参谋长想留你，你今天和韩非就一块儿走了，你还不感谢一下？” “参谋长，谢谢了！”张武说完一口喝下。 “还有韩非，他可是替你求情了的。” “韩非？” 陆涛的话使于海鹰和张武都惊呆了。 陆涛解释道：“怎么？不信？我告诉你们，我的工作是韩非做通的。” 于海鹰：“韩非？” 陆涛：“韩非说，如果走，他只有一个条件，那就是让张武留，我还能不同意？” 张武如梦初醒，突然拎起一瓶酒隔着老远大吼一声：“韩非……” 屋里一下变得鸦雀无声。 韩非站了起来，和张武隔着一段距离。 张武举起了酒瓶，说：“我的好兄弟，我敬你了！” 说完张武一扬脖对着酒瓶吹了起来。于海鹰赶忙上去一把抢过酒瓶，说：“张武，你发什么酒疯啊？” 张武又从别桌拿起一瓶啤酒喝了起来。 于海鹰又将瓶夺下，大吼一声：“张武！” 张武愣往了。 韩非走过来，张武冲上前一把将韩非抱住，哭了起来。 于海鹰的眼圈红了，他一回头，看见陆涛走出了食堂的门，他追了出去。 食堂外，陆涛刚走到汽车旁，被于海鹰叫住。 于海鹰拎着酒瓶，端着酒杯过来，说：“陆涛，我敬你的酒还没喝呢？” 陆涛：“你敬我酒，我就得喝啊？” 于海鹰：“那当然！” 陆涛：“你太霸道了吧？就凭你小子没大没小，独断专行，只许官家放火，不许百姓点灯的所作所为，这酒我也不能喝！” 于海鹰：“我知道你对部署有意见，这杯酒我认罚，我先喝。”说着举杯把酒干了，等他放下酒杯，陆涛已把车一溜烟地开走了。 于海鹰端着酒杯，尴尬地望着远去的汽车，不知所措。食堂里飘出了送战友的歌声…… 送别韩非那天晚上，张武喝醉了，而且醉得不轻，他睁开眼睛醒来的时候已经是第二天的中午，他突然想到了李红梅，这个好消息她还没一起分享呢。 张武匆匆地穿过街道，街上车水马龙，繁华喧闹。张武来到临时出租屋，开门进去，发现出租屋被打扫得干干静静，李红梅却没了踪影。 张武走到床前，在叠得整齐的被子上，放着一张信纸，他木然地拿起信纸看着，耳朵里仿佛回响着李红梅的声音：“阿武，我走了，走得可能有点匆忙，但是请你相信我，因为喜欢你，才不得不走的。每天看着你心神不定的样子，我心里也非常难受。阿武，我不能拖累你，更不能耽误了你的前程，我相信你一定能出人头地，我等着你的好消息……” 张武突然大吼一声：“为什么？” 然后，他把信纸揉成一团，痛苦地蹲在了地上。
