466: The radio station was seized.

In less than an hour, Xu Zhan arrived with his men.

Seeing the scene in the cave, Xu Zhan was stunned.

“Old Lu, Old Shen, Sister Nian Nian, are you alright?”

He saw that the thugs were covered in blood and looked at Old Lu and the others with concern.

“We’re fine.”

“This is Yang Xi.”

Hearing Lu Jing’s words, Xu Zhan nodded.

“It’s good that you’re alright.”

Xu Zhan knew that Lu Jing and the others were very strong in combat, but this was deep in the mountains, and the weather was so cold. There were also tigers in these mountains. One of the two thugs they had just rescued kept shouting about tigers… “comrade Yang Xi, you’ve suffered…”

Xu Zhan felt very sorry for this Comrade-in-arms, listening to Lu Jing’s words.

“We will take over everything from now on. We will interrogate these people carefully, uncover their conspiracy, catch the real culprits behind the scenes, and give you justice…”

“Thank you.”

He looked at Lu Jing, Xiao Niannian, and the other comrades. If they hadn’t saved him, even if he didn’t die of illness, he would have been found and killed by these people.

“It’s almost dawn now. Everyone, go into the cave, rest for four hours, and then go down the mountain…”

“Yes.”

The Soldiers immediately found suitable places to sit down.

“Xiao Yan, take some men to the cave below and bring up the food we obtained.”

Xu Zhan heard Lu Jing’s words and said with a smile.

“What good stuff did you hunt?”

“Xiao Yan, Brother Zhan will go down with you to take a look.”

Shen Yan nodded and led a few people down the small path to the cave below.

When they reached the cave and saw many Wild Chickens, wild rabbits, a deer, and a Wild Boar, Xu Zhan was shocked.

“You caught so much?”

If he hadn’t had something to do, he would have come along too. He felt happy thinking about hunting with his brothers.

“Mmm…”

Shen Yan didn’t know how to answer.

Half of it was indeed hunted by them, but the other half was caught by the tigers.

Now the tigers had gone to other places.

Xu Zhan looked at Shen Yan suspiciously. Seeing that he didn’t say anything, he didn’t think much of it.

Xu Zhan had the Soldiers move the game up to the cave.

“Old Lu, are you here to stock up? So much game, and even deer and Wild Boar, we’re in for a feast today…”

Hearing Xu Zhan’s words, Lu Jing spoke.

“Have the Soldiers process them. We’ll stir-fry them later.”

“Alright, brothers, quickly thank Regiment Commander Lu.”

Hearing Xu Zhan’s words, the Soldiers cheered.

“Thank you, Regiment Commander Lu.”

“I didn’t catch much; most of it was hunted by Niannian.”

“Quickly thank Platoon Leader Xiao.”

The Soldiers immediately thanked her.

“Thank you, Platoon Leader Xiao.”

Xu Zhan looked at Xiao Niannian and said with a smile.

“Sister Nian Nian, thank you so much. Next time you go hunting, you must call me, Brother Zhan.”

“Okay.”

Lu Jing and Xu Zhan were talking.

“Didn’t we hear many tiger roars earlier? Did you encounter tigers?”

“We did. Those tigers are very intelligent. These thugs were also bitten by tigers…”

Hearing this, Xu Zhan was slightly surprised.

“You didn’t even have to do anything?”

No wonder the two people they encountered earlier kept shouting about tigers, saying how terrifying they were… “Roar…”

Just as they were talking, they heard a tiger’s roar from the forest not far away.

“When we came, we also encountered Black Bears, but they ran away when they saw so many of us…”

Xiao Niannian slept for a while, and when she woke up, the food was ready.

“Sister Nian Nian, come and eat quickly.”

Xu Zhan greeted Xiao Niannian with a smile.

After a big meal, they began their return journey.

The thugs were carried on stretchers, their hands and feet bound.

Xu Zhan and the Soldiers now knew the crimes they had committed, and they were all extremely furious.

Some Soldiers wished they could punch these thugs to death.

“Xiao Zhang, don’t be impulsive.”

“They are too vicious.”

They gnashed their teeth in anger. If it weren’t for regulations, they truly would have beaten these thugs to death on the spot.

“When we get back, we’ll interrogate them, find out the truth, and give those people justice…”

Xiao Niannian walked in front, hearing the words of these Soldiers, she also felt a little sad.

In fact, she had already harbored murderous intent, but these people had to be kept for interrogation to find out who was behind it all… After walking for more than eight hours, they reached the foot of the mountain.

Before coming up, Xu Zhan had sent a company of Soldiers to search the houses in the mountains.

“Report.”

Seeing the reconnaissance Soldier, Xu Zhan asked with a serious expression.

“Speak.”

“We found two radio stations in a house… and captured six thugs… Someone opened fire in resistance and was wounded by us…”

Hearing this, Xu Zhan looked at Lu Jing.

“Let’s go take a look.”

Lu Jing and Xu Zhan walked in front, with Xiao Niannian and Shen Yan following behind. Upon entering the house, they saw people tied to pillars, with several others tied next to them.

One person lay on the ground, having been shot.

“Reporting, Deputy Regiment Commander Xu, the radio station was found here…”

Walking into the villager’s room, there was an underground passage inside. The passage was as large as two rooms, with several beds, a cabinet, and a radio station below… “Photograph this place and take the radio station back…”

Xu Zhan ordered.

“Yes.”

Lu Jing looked at Xu Zhan and said.

“They have people in the commune, and there should be people in ordinary hospitals too. Send Yang Xi and the others to the Military Region Hospital…”

After arranging things, Lu Jing looked at Niannian and said.

“Niannian, I’ll take you and Shen Yan back first. Shen Yan and I will continue to follow up on this matter…”

Hearing Lu Jing say this, Xiao Niannian nodded.

“Okay.”

An hour later, Xiao Niannian returned to the Gu Family.

Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu thought Xiao Niannian had gone to the Research Institute, and they were overjoyed to see Niannian return.

“Grandparents…”

“Niannian is back.”

“Precious.”

Seeing that Niannian’s hair was a bit messy and her military overcoat had some dirt on it, Grandma Gu said with a chuckle.

“Niannian, take off this overcoat, Grandma will wash it for you. Go upstairs quickly to take a bath, then come down for dinner…”

“Okay.”

Xiao Niannian went upstairs to take a bath. While bathing, she heard her Grandparents discussing.

“Niannian looks a bit tired today. I wonder if she stayed up late working again…”

“Looks like it. I’ll go stew some chicken soup for her…”

“I’ll stir-fry two dishes…”

Suddenly, the Grandparents all became busy.

Xiao Niannian took a bath and washed her clothes.

Returning downstairs, Xiao Niannian saw her Grandparents busy.

“Niannian, have some soy milk first. There are two other dishes, you can sit down and eat first…”

“Grandpa and Grandma, have you eaten?”

“We have.”

Just as she was about to eat, Xiao Niannian heard a sound.
