Counterattack 1988

Chapter 149 Stab wounds
Li Wenxiu was also awakened by the sudden ringing, sat up, and asked, "The phone is ringing."

Wang Lin hummed, picked up the BB player, and walked towards the living room.

The fixed line in the living room was still ringing tenaciously.

Wang Lin answered the phone and gave a hello.

On the other end of the phone, there was a trembling shout: "Wang Lin!"

Although the voice was distorted, Wang Lin could still hear it: "Sister Tian! What's the matter? What happened? Please speak slowly."

The other party was Tian Xiaoqing.

Wang Lin looked at the time, it was already past three o'clock in the morning!

Based on Wang Lin's understanding of Tian Xiaoqing, she is a very stable person, and she rarely panicked like this, unless something serious happened!

Thinking of this, Wang Lin's heart couldn't help but tighten even more.

"Wang Lin, Master Wu was stabbed by gangsters!" Tian Xiaoqing finally told the truth with a sob.

"Ah? Where did it get stabbed? Is the injury serious? Has he been sent to the hospital? Is he awake?" Wang Lin was concerned and asked a series of questions.

"Sent to the hospital, stabbed in the shoulder."

"Is it close to the mouth?" Wang Lin felt his voice hoarse for a while, and his voice was no longer smooth.

"The situation was a little messy just now, so it shouldn't hurt my heart."

Wang Lin believed in her professional judgment, let go of half of his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Tian, ​​do everything you can to save my master!"

"I know. All the money on our side has been exchanged for treasury bills. Now the three of us only have the money for the return ticket."

"Advance first. I will take the earliest flight tomorrow and I will arrive at noon. If the money is not enough, you can tell the hospital and ask them to pay in advance. I will arrive as soon as possible. If they doubt our ability to pay, you can use treasury bills first." Make a mortgage, no matter what, please use the best medicine and doctor in the hospital, and do your best to save my master's life!"

"I see. Wang Lin, please don't tell Master Wu's family members. This is what Master Wu himself meant. Before he went to the hospital, he told me this sentence. His family is full of women and children. I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it." Stop, thinking wildly, there was nothing important, but it made a lot of trouble."

Wang Lin said in a deep voice, "I see. Please explain the specific situation to me when I arrive! Luo Wei accompanied my master to the hospital?"

"Yes, there are so many treasury bills in the room, I dare not leave without authorization."

"Okay, if there is any situation, please inform me as soon as possible. I will arrive as soon as possible tomorrow."

"Okay! Don't worry too much. Master Wu and Ji Ren will help each other, and everything will be fine."

"Ok!"

Wang Lin hung up the phone slowly, feeling very upset.

From the very first day when he ran treasury bonds, Wang Lin was always on tenterhooks, worried that something might happen!
With so much cash in hand, people's spirits are in a highly tense state, and they cannot get a good day's rest.

It is for this reason that he suspended running treasury bills and turned to other investments.

It turned out that something really happened!
"Wang Lin?" Li Wenxiu came out, stood beside him, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

"The master was stabbed by a gangster. The specific situation is unknown. I will go there tomorrow."

"Ah! I'll go with you." On the one hand, Li Wenxiu was worried about Wu Dazhuang, and on the other hand, she was even more worried about Wang Lin's safety!

Wang Lin had called her countless times before, asking her to fly with her and go to the treasury, but she never agreed.

This time she offered to accompany Wang Lin.

"It'll be fine." Wang Lin patted his wife on the shoulder.

Li Wenxiu snuggled into his arms: "I'm so scared, even though I'm a bit rude to say this, I'm really scared! It's a good thing you didn't make this trip! If you were the one who got hurt, what should I do?—— How is Master Tian?"

Wang Lindao: "Sent to the hospital, not life-threatening - I don't know the specific situation, maybe Sister Tian is just comforting me! Sigh!"

The two returned to the bedroom, unable to sleep.

Wang Lin took out a cigarette, lit one, and thought about it while smoking.

"Isn't the sanitary napkin factory starting tomorrow?" Li Wenxiu said, "Can you leave? How about I fly for you to see Master Tian?"

Wang Lin waved his hand and said, "I have to go in person. Otherwise, I won't be at ease! The sanitary napkin factory hasn't started work yet, so let's wait two more days! It seems that today is really not suitable for starting work! Something like this happened early in the morning!"

Li Wenxiu said: "Don't think about it too much, these are two things, they just happen to happen together."

Wang Lindao: "Yesterday, Jiang Tao suggested that I choose an auspicious day to start work. They Xiangjiang people pay special attention to this kind of thing. Not to mention the start of important factories, they are very particular about rework days and store openings."

"Okay, stop thinking about it and sleep for a while? You have to take such a long flight tomorrow!"

"Can't sleep." Wang Lin said, "Go to sleep."

After he finished smoking, Li Wenxiu hugged him and asked him to lie flat: "Go to sleep, I really can't sleep, you can just close your eyes and rest."

Wang Lin had something on his mind. He didn't sleep for a while until it was almost dawn, but he woke up soon.

After he got up, he called the factory first to inform Jiang Tao and the others that the start date was delayed for three days. During these three days, he asked them to consolidate the operating skills of the employees and conduct another trial production.

Jiang Tao didn't ask anything, because the factory's production plan changes, which is perfectly normal, not to mention that it hasn't started yet, Mr. Wang, out of old-fashioned considerations, consolidated the staff's operating skills again, and at the same time carried out another trial production. it is also fine.

Wang Lin made proper arrangements and helped Li Wenxiu fill out the leave form, and issued her business trip certificate and work certificate.

After Li Wenjuan woke up, she saw her brother-in-law and sister busy, and asked, "What's wrong? Where are you going when you pack up?"

While tidying up her clothes, Li Wenxiu said: "Wenjuan, your brother-in-law and I are on a business trip, it may take two or three days, if you are afraid at home alone, call Sun Xiaodie to come and accompany you."

Li Wenjuan said slightly aggrieved: "You guys go on a trip? Don't you take me? Brother-in-law, you keep saying you want to take me by plane!"

Wang Lindao: "Wenjuan, we are not going on a trip this time. My master was stabbed by gangsters and is being rescued in the hospital. We are here to see him! You want to go on a trip, and I will take you next time."

Li Wenjuan just fell silent.

Li Wenxiu told her: "Remember, don't bring strangers home, after you and Xiaodie close the stall, go home directly, don't go outside to play, do you hear me?"

"Oh!" Li Wenjuan responded obediently, "I see."

Wang Lin brought enough money and said to Li Wenxiu, "The flight is not so early, I'll go down and buy some breakfast."

"I'll go." Li Wenxiu said.

Wang Lin nodded, picked up the phone, and wanted to call Tian Xiaoqing, but then thought that it would be best if he didn't have a phone, which meant that the situation over there was under control and everything was safe!
He put down the microphone again.

After Li Wenjuan finished washing, she saw Wang Lin sitting on the sofa in a daze. She came over to comfort him and said, "Brother-in-law, it's fine. Master Wu is a very nice person. God will bless him for this kind of person, and he will be fine."

Wang Lin hummed.

Li Wenjuan said: "Brother-in-law, why don't you be more happy, you are always joking, it is rare to see you so depressed. It makes me want to cry!"

Wang Lin scratched her nose lightly, and said, "Just be good at home, and I'll bring you something delicious."

"Brother-in-law, I've grown up! I'm sensible. Usually, Xiaodie and I sell clothes on Huating Road, and nothing happens, right?"

"Well, at the clothing workshop, when you go to pick up clothes every day, pay more attention to safety issues."

"Ok."

"Go to bed earlier at night and close the door earlier. After closing the door, no one except your relatives should call the door open. Some people will have evil intentions when they know that you and Xiaodie are at home."

"Oh! Brother-in-law, stop talking, it scares me."

Wang Lindao: "It's right for you to be in awe, and you will be more cautious in doing things. Society is very complicated, and people's hearts are even more complicated."

"Brother-in-law, I know you care about me. I will pay attention!" Li Wenjuan smiled sweetly.

After breakfast, Li Wenxiu first went to the workshop to ask for leave, and then went to the airport with Wang Lin.

The moment the flight took off, Li Wenxiu held Wang Lin's hand tightly.

Wang Lin said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's normal for you to feel weightless. This feeling of weightlessness will disappear after the plane flies smoothly."

"Well! I'm not afraid when I'm with you." Li Wenxiu said softly, "It's just like flying, it's not as fun as I imagined."

"It's the same as riding a car, except that the car runs on the ground and we fly in the sky."

"Yes, look at those clouds outside, they are so beautiful, like mountains, rising and falling! No wonder the book says that the sea of ​​clouds is churning, and the mountains and clouds are covered with mist. It turns out that it is true! You said that the ancients had never taken a plane, so how could you know? How about writing such an idiom?"

"The ancients never took a plane, but they climbed the mountains, and they could see the sea of ​​clouds and the mountains of clouds."

"I've never climbed such a high mountain before!"

"Wenxiu, we haven't traveled on our honeymoon yet, shall I take you on a trip? Let's climb Mount Tai."

"let's discuss it later!"

The plane was flying smoothly. Wang Lin and Li Wenxiu held hands, head to head, and fell asleep.

A stewardess came over, saw them like this, smiled, took a blanket, and gently helped them cover their bodies.

Wang Lin narrowed his eyes and was in good spirits.

Three hours later, the flight landed at Xiguan Airport.

This year, Xiguan Airport, which was built in 1924, has not been relocated. It is the closest airport to the main city in China and one of the oldest airports in China.

After Wang Lin and the others got out of the airport, they took a van to the hotel where Tian Xiaoqing was staying.

Li Wenxiu went out for the first time, looking at the streets and alleys curiously.

Li Wenxiu's feelings are enormous when he came to this land of loess in the Northwest from the Jiangnan area of ​​ink painting.

In the past, I only saw the rural customs of the Northwest from movies and TV dramas, and I came to experience it for myself, only to find that this place is quite different from what I imagined.

This ancient city was the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties. Everything here has left too many historical imprints, and everywhere shows a kind of atmosphere of a prosperous China.

Wang Lin arrived at the hotel and met Tian Xiaoqing.

"Sister Tian!" Wang Lin yelled, "How is my master?"

"I received a call from Luo Wei from the hospital in the morning, and he said that Master Wu is fine and his life is not in danger." Tian Xiaoqing said, "Fortunately, the stab was not deep, and it didn't hurt the vitals, which is really unfortunate. I am lucky." Tian Xiaoqing said.

"What's going on?" Wang Lin asked, "How did such a big accident happen?"

Tian Xiaoqing said: "It was quite sudden. We stayed in the hotel, and then went to the bank to exchange treasury bonds. There was nothing wrong with us all the way. After returning to the hotel from the bank, the three of us never left the hotel. When I slept until midnight, I suddenly I knew something was up when I heard the yelling from next door."

Wang Lin and Li Wenxiu looked at each other.

Tian Xiaoqing said: "I quickly closed the door and went to look. I saw a gangster with a knife fighting with Luo Wei. Master Wu had already been stabbed in the shoulder, and his clothes were covered in blood. Luo Wei and I knocked down the gangster together. Then Call the police, call an ambulance, and I will call you after Master Wu is sent to the hospital."

She only spoke a few words, but the situation at that time was extremely critical!
The gangster has a knife in his hand!
As the saying goes, no matter how good your martial arts are, you will still be afraid of kitchen knives!

Tian Xiaoqing and Luo Wei must have gone through a fierce struggle before they caught the gangster!

Wang Lindao: "Did the gangster break open the door?"

Tian Xiaoqing said: "I asked the police. That man is a habitual offender who specializes in stealing belongings from tourists in hotels in this area. He has a very peculiar way of opening the door lock of the hotel. Even if we locked it from the inside, he It can also be opened easily."

"This is a master!" Wang Lin said in a deep voice, "There are indeed such strange people in Jianghu who can unlock in three seconds!"

Tian Xiaoqing said: "He didn't commit crimes against us. He stole from the other side of the hotel, from room to room, and stole all the way. It's just that the other passengers were asleep and didn't wake up. Master Wu heard the door When the lock rang, he woke up and asked who it was, the gangster was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he stabbed Master Wu with a knife."

Wang Lindao: "The law and order in this hotel is too bad! How can you let this kind of person in?"

Tian Xiaoqing said: "It's impossible to guard against. This person also lived in the hotel in the name of a passenger. In this way, even if he was scurrying around in the corridor at night, no one would suspect him. I also saw him twice. But every time he sees someone, he pretends to be smoking, and his eyes are very calm, and there is no abnormality at all."

Wang Lindao: "Well, I'll go to the hospital to see the master, Wenxiu, you and Sister Tian will stay here."

"Okay, you go." Li Wenxiu said, "I'll accompany Sister Tian."

Wang Lin rushed to the hospital and found the ward where Wu Dazhuang was hospitalized.

Wu Dazhuang was lying on the bed, with his shoulders exposed and wrapped in thick bandages. Such a fat man, his face was pale at the moment, and his lips were bloodless gray-black.

Wang Lin shouted: "Master!"

Seeing him coming, Wu Dazhuang yelled, "Wang Lin, why are you here? I'm fine, but I suffered a little flesh injury! Officer Wu called you to come here, right? Women are timid. The yelling didn't delay your work, did it?"

Wang Lin held his hand and forced a smile: "I'm relieved to see that you can still joke."

Luo Wei said: "Mr. Wang!"

Wang Lin nodded to him: "Luo Wei, thank you for your hard work. You have made great achievements in catching the thief! I will reward you well."

Luo Wei said guiltily: "I was sleeping on the bunk inside, and I was only a step too late, and the gangster stabbed Master Wu. I didn't protect myself well."

Wang Lindao: "Okay, don't blame yourself, you all acted bravely!"

Wu Dazhuang asked: "Wang Lin, did you lose the treasury bill?"

"No, not one cent is missing!" Wang Lin felt an unspeakable sadness in his heart.

Wu Dazhuang always said that he would use his life to protect Wang Lin's money, but he actually did it.

At this time, a policeman stood at the door of the ward and knocked lightly: "Is Comrade Wu Dazhuang over here?"

Wang Lin turned around and saw a familiar face.
