Courtyard House: I Have Countless Bodyguards

Liu Jianguo sat up straight, thought for a moment, and answered cautiously:

"Secretary, I don't know the specifics. But the fact that you summoned me personally at this time suggests that it's likely related to the two cases of enemy spies we recently apprehended."

A hint of approval flashed in Secretary Nie's eyes, and he nodded, saying:

"You have a keen political sense, and you guessed correctly. It is indeed an enemy spy case. According to the joint interrogation and in-depth investigation by the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the security department, a big fish has been uncovered behind these two cases."

There's a very important lead involving a high-ranking criminal who defected to Hong Kong with classified information. This matter originally went beyond the scope of our steel mill's local security work and has little to do with you personally.

He abruptly changed the subject, leaning forward slightly and lowering his voice:

"However, the situation has changed. The higher-ups are taking this case very seriously, and the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau has personally led a special cross-departmental task force to investigate it."

The deputy leader of the team is Wu Liang, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Security Investigation Division. Because you led the team that cracked both of these crucial leads, Director Wu Liang and the Municipal Public Security Bureau director jointly recommended you to be the other deputy leader of this special operations team.

Secretary Nie looked intently at Liu Jianguo. "The higher-ups have ordered you to bring a section chief from the security department whom you absolutely trust and who is highly capable, to the Municipal Public Security Bureau immediately to report for duty and join the team. This is a testament to the organization's high level of trust in you."

Comrade Jian Guo

Secretary Nie said in an even more serious tone:

"According to regulations, our factory level is not authorized to inquire about the specific details of such cross-system, highly confidential operations. However, considering that your secondment this time may not be short, and the factory needs to provide an explanation, I have learned the general situation through some channels."

Your official trip is to be officially announced as a secondment to an important unit to assist with work. All details regarding the mission must be kept strictly confidential; this is an ironclad rule. Do not disclose this to anyone, including other leaders in the factory, understand?

Liu Jianguo was deeply shaken, instantly realizing the immense weight of this appointment.

This means he has directly entered a higher level of struggle. If the mission is successful, it will not only be a tremendous achievement, but it will also mean that he will enter the field of vision of the core law enforcement circle. His future development space and the confidential permissions he can access will be incomparable to what they were before.

Risks and opportunities coexist, but it is undoubtedly a golden opportunity!

He immediately stood up, straightened his back, and answered decisively:

"Please rest assured, Secretary and the organization! Liu Jianguo guarantees to complete the task resolutely and will never betray the organization's trust!"

He paused briefly and then proposed a candidate:

"Regarding the section chief who will take me, I request that Comrade Li Bing, the head of the security section, come with me. He is politically reliable, has excellent military skills, and works well with me. I have absolute trust in him."

Secretary Nie also knew something about Li Bing and nodded in agreement:

"Okay! Comrade Li Bing is a suitable candidate. I will personally communicate with Director Wang about the work arrangements in the Security Department and your transfer procedures, so you don't need to worry about it."

Go back immediately, pack your things quickly, and go directly to the Municipal Public Security Bureau with Li Bing to report for duty.

Remember, once you go out there, you represent the face of our Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. You must be bold yet meticulous, and also humble and cautious.

"Yes! Please rest assured, Secretary, we guarantee we won't bring shame to the steel rolling mill!"

Liu Jianguo gave a standard military salute, and with a feeling of excitement and solemnity, turned and strode out of the secretary's office.

Liu Jianguo returned to his office and sat alone in his chair. The door closed gently, and the room fell into silence. He leaned back, his fingertips tapping unconsciously on the smooth desktop, his eyes vacant, but his thoughts were racing faster than ever before.

Hong Kong... that chaotic, lawless place... if I really had to go there, what would be my biggest asset?

The first thing that popped into my mind was that mysterious and unpredictable spatial gate!

In Beijing, with its many people and eyes, he dared not act rashly.

But once he arrives in the lawless territory of Hong Kong, will this door connecting to his own little world become his ultimate weapon for navigating freely and strategizing at will?

And what about those 30 unsummoned assassins? Could they be quietly deployed there to become hidden pawns?

Will the area of ​​the small world expand again as a result of this major mission?

Countless thoughts surged forth like a tide, bringing a mixture of excitement at the prospect of great opportunity and a cautious assessment of the unknown.

After some contemplation, more realistic considerations emerge.

This mission is of extremely high importance. If successful, the credit will be enough to make me a full-fledged deputy director, or even advance further.

As one of my trusted confidants, Li Bing is likely to get a deputy section chief position.

The power and resources at their disposal will increase significantly.

But then, a chill ran through him: What if he fails?

In such places, mission failure often means more than just dismissal and investigation; it could very well mean being completely wiped out.

This uncertainty made him feel irritated, and he suddenly stood up from his chair, realizing that such daydreaming was pointless.

He opened the office door and instructed a staff member in the corridor, "Go and call Li Bing, the head of the security department, to my office immediately."

Li Bing arrived quickly, still with his usual capable and composed demeanor: "Director, you wanted to see me?"

Without any pleasantries, Liu Jianguo issued his orders directly, his tone brief and leaving no room for argument:

"There's an urgent, confidential mission that you and I will be on. Go back right now, quickly pack your essentials, and keep a low profile. Also, pack my luggage while you're at it; I might be back very late tonight."

The duration of this trip is uncertain, estimated to be several months. The daily operations of the security department will temporarily be handled entirely by Deputy Section Chief Li Wu.

He didn't give Li Bing a chance to ask questions or express doubts. After speaking, he waved his hand, signaling him to do it immediately.

Li Bing's eyes sharpened, and he saluted without hesitation: "Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"

He turned and quickly left. His absolute trust and decisiveness were on full display at that moment.

After arranging things for Li Bing, Liu Jianguo remembered that He Yuzhu was still being held in the interrogation room. He glanced at the clock on the wall; it was almost afternoon.

Sha Zhu, we've been leaving him out for almost a day. Has he not had a drop of water?

Fine, let them starve their bodies and empty their spirits.

Only then can his muddled mind clear up a little and he think about where he went wrong!

He got up and walked towards the dark interrogation room.
