Chapter 273 Jiang Yunzhou has been secretly working here.

They didn't even know who the other party was, and a large number of women and children here also needed protection. The most important thing now was to follow the organization's arrangements, rather than blindly making their own decisions.

Several women sat down next to the basketball hoop, holding children and gently fanning themselves with fans. Some patted their babies to comfort them.

"What on earth has caused this panic? Those people are getting more and more outrageous, actually reaching out to this place. If it's not even safe here, where else can they go?"

Everyone was talking at once, trying to figure out who could be so desperate.

Liu Hui, the director of the military factory, already understood what had happened. He didn't even have time to pick up his coat from the ground before he hurriedly went to the research department.

"Xiao Wang, take a few more people to check on the safety of those returning engineers and foreign professors from allied countries. Make sure everyone is there, and report back immediately if anything happens."

Just last week, three engineers who had returned from abroad had arrived, and this happened tonight. He couldn't help but think about it.

Besides the returnees from his own country, there are also two professors from allied countries. If they were to encounter trouble here, not only would the organization have no way to explain it, but he wouldn't know how to explain it either.

Xiao Wang nodded. Everyone was outside, so there was no need to knock on doors one by one.

Among the crowd on the playground, those distinguished guests were easy to spot, especially the two foreign professors, whose appearances made them easily identifiable.

With everyone present, Xiao Wang breathed a sigh of relief, but when he glanced around, he didn't see the youngest, Jiang Yunzhou.

His heart sank instantly. He searched the crowd twice more but couldn't find Jiang Yunzhou. Xiao Wang immediately ran back and told him the truth.

Liu Hui's heart jumped into his throat: "Comrade Jiang Yunzhou is the one who can communicate most smoothly with the two foreign professors. He has mastered a lot of core technologies. Is it because of this that he has been targeted by the enemy?"

In fact, these people had gone through many twists and turns before finally arriving in Beijing. During this time, the organization had been keeping it a secret, and not many people actually knew that they were already in the military factory, in order to avoid such a situation from happening.

However, despite their extreme caution, they still attracted the attention of others. Jiang Yunzhou was only in his early twenties and could have achieved great things, but before he could show his skills, he had already disappeared.

Liu Hui took a deep breath, almost unable to stand: "Send a few more people over to Jiang's dormitory and search. Even if you can't find him, you must find a clue! He is a high-ranking national talent, and we must not allow him to be harmed in our hands."

The current situation is different from usual. Regardless of the reasons, we must find Jiang Yunzhou's whereabouts.

Xiao Wang's forehead was covered in sweat, and he immediately stood up straight: "Yes."

Orlov and Novich, unaware of what had happened, approached with suspicious looks and asked in broken Chinese.

"Director Liu, what was that sound just now? Why did everyone come out?"

Liu Hui was at his wit's end and could only try to calm the two of them down.

"We'll have to wait for the security department to tell us the specifics, but don't worry, the safety of the two professors is being taken care of by designated personnel, so there shouldn't be any major problems. We hope today's events haven't affected you."

Orlov and Novich exchanged a glance. They didn't quite understand what he was saying, but they understood that there wasn't much of a problem. So they nodded, knowing that they couldn't communicate verbally, and stopped trying to communicate.

Xiao Wang was leading a group of people to Jiang Yunzhou's dormitory when he saw Jiang Yunzhou rubbing his eyes, looking tired, walking out from the corner of the crowd.

"Wow, Director Liu, what's going on here? Why is it so noisy? I was just sleeping when I was woken up. I was thinking of coming over to ask what was going on, but I didn't expect everyone to think the same thing."

Seeing that Jiang Yunzhou was unharmed, Liu Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Comrade Jiang, where did you go just now? The security department sent an alarm. There must have been an accident. All the senior engineers who returned from abroad are here, but you are missing. I thought you... Never mind, let's not talk about those unlucky things. Just be okay. I was just saying I was going to send someone to look for you."

Jiang Yunzhou lowered his eyes, his expression shifting, and he tucked his hands into his loose sleeves, as if hiding something.

When the man looked up again, his expression had changed.

"I've been here the whole time. I wanted to squeeze through and see what was going on, but there were too many people and I got blocked. Don't worry, I'm fine."

As the two were talking, gunshots rang out one after another. Lu Weiquan took off his coat and covered Chen Guilin with it. Just as he was wondering how to explain it to his family, he heard the sound of gunfire.

He turned his head abruptly, his eyelids twitched, and he knew something was wrong.

They haven't found anything yet, not even the other party's identity. Chen Guilin protected this document until his death. Did the other party see it? How much did they see? Did they pass it on?

These things can only be pried out of him if he is alive.

But if this person is beaten to death like this, then everything they did tonight will have been like stirring up trouble!

If he has other accomplices, they can only live in fear until he is caught.

Just as he was about to go over to check on the situation, he saw Wu Zhengyi being carried over by his comrades, covered in blood.

Zhang You, whose face was also bruised, reported while holding a stretcher: "Section Chief, we didn't catch him. They had dug a secret passage beforehand, and he had already escaped through it when we chased after them."

Wu Zhengyi's clothes were stained red with blood from his abdomen, and Lu Weiquan stared in astonishment—

"Quickly, get him to the infirmary!"

Wu Zhengyi looked guilty and, ignoring the pain from his injuries, grabbed Lu Weiquan's clothes with one hand.

"Section Chief, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being useless. I had already grabbed his clothes. If I had run a little faster, I wouldn't have let him escape."

Lu Weiquan's expression was solemn. Several comrades had been injured today, and Chen Guilin had even sacrificed his life. He patted Wu Zhengyi on the shoulder.

"Go get treatment first, as long as you're alright."

Chen Guilin's body is still being protected at the scene. Since he hasn't been caught, everything can only wait for the police to arrive and take further action.
