631: Ji Lin has problems.

Comrade Tang never expected that when he came here, he would actually be followed, and these people had strange colors painted on their faces; he had no idea what they were doing.

He wanted to speak, but Xiao Niannian kicked him unconscious.

"We are the people sent by the military to find you. I have seen your portraits."

Lu Jing spoke up and revealed the real names of Comrade Tao and Comrade Wu, as well as the majors they studied.

"Comrade Tao, original name... Physics... spent ten years in the USA..."

"We are entrusted by comrade Hong to take you home."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the two middle-aged men instantly turned red. This sentence was a code they had agreed upon with the higher-ups; only those in the upper echelons knew this phrase.

Over the past month or so, they had suffered too much.

Several times they thought they were dead for sure, only to escape death narrowly.

A few days ago, they were discovered by this Comrade Tang. Comrade Tang had come to the graveyard to steal but accidentally pushed open this passageway...

This passageway was told to them by the owner of that shop; that owner died to protect them.

"Go home?"

"Those people have sent so many people to search for our whereabouts; can you really take us home?"

Comrade Tao said with some sadness.

"There are four other people missing: Comrade Sheng, Comrade Wan, and their son."

"Our people are already searching. This place is no longer safe. Please come with us," Lu Jing said.

"Then what about this person?" Comrade Tao asked Lu Jing.

While listening to Lu Jing and Comrade Tao talking, Xiao Niannian cast her gaze toward the others.

She saw a young man wearing glasses looking at Lu Jing and her, his eyes looking very wrong. There was something wrong with this person; Xiao Niannian immediately became suspicious.

She thought of these people as written in the files.

This person was Comrade Tao's Son-in-law, and the Female Comrade beside him was Comrade Tao's daughter, Comrade Xiao Tao.

There was a traitor among these ten people. Although she didn't know who it was yet, this person gave her a feeling that something was wrong.

"This place is not safe? We have been hiding everywhere for this past month, and it was not easy to find this place. If we go out with you and get discovered by those people, what will we do then?" this Ji Lin questioned.

As soon as Ji Lin spoke, Comrade Tao and Comrade Wu immediately felt that Ji Lin was right.

This place was indeed something they had struggled to find, and they had been very safe hiding in this cave these past few days. However, they had no food left now.

They hadn't brought many supplies when they fled, and they didn't have time. For the past few days, it was this Comrade Tang who had been bringing them some food.

The things he sold were more than a hundred times more expensive than in town, but in order to survive, they had no choice but to pay Comrade Tang.

Lu Jing spoke up.

"Go into the mountains; we have comrades who will send you back to the country."

Go into the mountains?

"We were in the mountains and were almost caught by those people," Ji Lin retorted again. "No matter what you say, we will not believe you. Perhaps as soon as we reach the mountains, we will be discovered by those people."

Hearing this, Xiao Tao nodded; she felt her husband was absolutely right.

Over this past month, they had nearly died several times. If it hadn't been for her husband saving her, she might have died.

She had been a little suspicious of her husband before, but she realized she had misunderstood him, so now she must protect him.

"My husband is right; the mountains are too dangerous. We were hunted down in the mountains before..."

Xiao Niannian listened to Xiao Tao's words and, seeing the expression on Ji Lin's face, her suspicion of Ji Lin grew even stronger.

"Our mission is to find you and bring you home. Please listen to us." When Military Doctor Shen had just come in, he saw that some of them were injured and was already treating their wounds.

Military Doctor Shen also felt that this Ji Lin was problematic.

"Comrade Tao, Comrade Wu, we will protect you. Please trust us..."

Lu Jing glanced at Ji Lin and spoke.

When Ji Lin heard Lu Jing's words, although he couldn't see Lu Jing's face clearly, he felt that Lu Jing and his group were dangerous, as if they were very capable people.

Could it be that they had discovered something?

Impossible. If Lu Jing and his group had discovered it, they would definitely expose him, rather than talking to him like this now.

Xiao Niannian was also cleaning the wounds for Comrade Wu's wife.

Mrs. Wu looked at Xiao Niannian, feeling slightly surprised. This Comrade Xiao's hands were very fair, and although there were calluses on them, her medical skills were excellent.

She also knew a little medicine, but they hadn't been able to keep all the medicine they had brought well-preserved.

"I dare not gamble. If we are discovered, we will never be able to return to the country. By then, how great a loss would the country suffer... can you bear the responsibility?"

Ji Lin looked angrily at Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian and the others.

He could not let these people take them away. This town was only so big, and he had already left a note for those people; perhaps they would be able to track them down here very soon.

By then, not only would these people be unable to return to the country, but he would also be able to enjoy wealth and honor.

What is so good about Daxia? I heard that the monthly salary is only a few dozen yuan. In the USA, they had already been earning thousands of yuan a month.

Just by working hard for a few years, one wouldn't need to struggle for the rest of their life.

Even though his father-in-law was a very capable person in this industry, he still wanted to return to Daxia.

Daxia's environment was so poor, and he heard that many people like his father-in-law had been harmed by some people.

He must absolutely not let his father-in-law and the others return to Daxia.

"comrade Ji Lin, your location here has already been exposed. Perhaps by tomorrow, someone will track it down to here..."

Xiao Niannian said.

"What are you saying? How is this possible! This is absolutely impossible. How could this place be discovered? We have been here for over ten days and haven't been discovered by anyone..."

"You go find food for us, and find a way to have Daxia send a plane to pick us up..."

He proposed an impossible request.

"This is not within Daxia's territory. Our planes will rendezvous with you at a location in the mountains. But they cannot fly here."

Xiao Niannian replied.

"If you don't send a plane to rendezvous with us, we will not leave."

Comrade Tao listened to his Son-in-law's words and spoke up.

"Xiao Ji, how can you speak like that."

Previously, a First Team had come to rendezvous with them, but that First Team was lost trying to save them.

The few of them felt incredibly guilty.

"Dad, I am telling the truth. We all have injuries; we simply can't walk far. Besides, there are only a few of them now. How can they take us into the mountains? How can they take us away?"

Ji Lin continued to make excuses.

Lu Jing replied.

"There are more than just these few of us; there are several other First Teams waiting in the mountains to rendezvous. We will treat those of you who are injured, and for those who cannot walk, we will carry you on stretchers..."

Ji Lin looked at Lu Jing in disbelief.

"What? That is a primitive forest; you can still use stretchers? Who are you trying to fool?"
