I am a cripple in the Siheyuan. Who am I afraid of?

Chapter 530: His Hair Turned White

Song Wu decided to go meet the butler. After all, they hadn't met since the last time they dealt with the vibration problem. The situation suddenly changed, and there was no response from the other side. He was even afraid that something might go wrong.

It's a good opportunity for me to take advantage of Minister Zhou's matter to meet him this time.

Minister Zhou asked Song Wu: "How can we get out now? The entire ministry compound is full of people."

Song Wu smiled and said, "I drove here. Wait, I'll park the car over here. Don't worry, I guarantee a smooth journey."

Song Wu first left the small warehouse, took out the jeep, and then returned to the small warehouse to help Minister Zhou get off the bed. Minister Zhou didn't have any injuries on his body. It should be caused by malnutrition due to lack of water and food for a long time. In addition, he was nervous and depressed, and the mental pressure was too great, which made his physical condition so weak.

Physical torture can never compare to mental torture. Song Wu estimated that if he didn't come for a few more days, Minister Zhou would almost collapse. He could already feel that he was running out of energy before taking the pills.

It was simply unimaginable that a person who was responsible for planning such a large industrial production situation had become like this in such a short period of time. Like an old dog struggling to survive on the street.

Minister Zhou was a little surprised to see the jeep, but he didn't ask much. After he got in the car, he looked at Song Wu who was starting the car and asked, "Where are we going now?"

"Go meet the butler."

Minister Zhou was instantly excited: "Can I meet him?"

"As long as he's not out inspecting, you should be able to see him. If he's not in Beijing, it's hard to say. So I'll arrange for you to go to a safe place first. You can take a rest first. When there's definite news, I'll take you there."

Song Wu sent Minister Zhou to Dongsishier Hutong, where no one lived but people often came and everything was available. Minister Zhou could even take a shower and change clothes.

Song Wu also put down some food, clothing, and shelter for him. Minister Zhou asked curiously, "You've prepared quite well, haven't you?"

Song Wu said jokingly: "Our ancestors told us that we should not fight a battle without preparation, so that we can be invincible. Now we must be careful at every step and not make any mistakes."

Song Wu changed out of his military uniform, put on ordinary clothes, rode a bicycle, and rushed to Chang'an Avenue.

This time he didn't have the time or the opportunity to wait for the people inside to come out and receive him properly. So, he could only climb over the wall.

Fortunately, the butler didn't go out and was still here.

He was slightly surprised when he saw Song Wu suddenly walk into his office, and then he laughed. After a while, he stood up from behind his desk and walked out, laughing, "You used to be polite and courteous. Now you are almost a bad guest. However, bad guests are really needed at this time. If you are too reasonable, you really can't get anything done."

Song Wu saw that although the butler was a little tired, he was obviously in good physical and mental condition. It was obvious that he was still taking the medicine in the bottle.

He simply took out two more bottles, and when the leader stretched out his hand to shake hands with him, he didn't shake hands, but directly slapped the bottles into his hand.

"I'll give you something practical. When you visit relatives, you can't go without bringing gifts."

The butler looked at the medicine bottle in his hand and laughed again. "This thing of yours is really good. It has increased my work efficiency and working time exponentially. It really helps a lot."

Song Wu's expression suddenly changed: "I gave you these things to help you maintain your health, not to let you..."

The butler waved his hand disapprovingly and said with a smile: "As long as I can solve more troubles, I will be in a good mood. If I am in a good mood, my health will naturally be good. I can clearly feel that my organs are much better recently than before. You didn't come here just to give gifts, right? What else?"

Song Wu recounted the story of how he picked up Minister Zhou from the small warehouse behind the Ministry of Industry.

"What nonsense! This kid has always been ambitious but incompetent, and has acted recklessly. He has some of his father's cleverness, but lacks the talent and cultivation to match. He will definitely have big problems in the future."

The butler is quite good at judging people. He knows what is going on but can't stop it, which shows that he is also helpless in many things and is unable to do anything about it.

He asked Song Wu: "How are you going to arrange for him?"

Song Wu said, "I want to send him to find Zhou Ning. This will prevent him from being used as an excuse for blackmail. Anyway, he can't play a role for the time being and has no place to use his talents."

The butler nodded. "Send him away, and take his lover with him. That boy is narrow-minded and loves revenge. He is like his father in this respect."

He pointed to the sofa next to him and asked Song Wu to sit down. He also wanted to make tea for him. Song Wu stopped him and said, "Don't worry, I'm not thirsty. Let's sit down and talk. It's a good opportunity for you to rest your brain." The butler laughed a few times and stopped working. Instead, he sat next to Song Wu.

He leaned his head against the back of the sofa and closed his eyes, seeming to be resting or thinking about something. After a while, he sighed and said, "I really want to arrange a train car for you to send many people away along the way. But think about it, it can only be a kind of self-consolation. There are so many people, I can only think of a way when the time comes."

Song Wu's eyes suddenly condensed, and he said to the leader: "What do you think about killing the harmful nucleus in its infancy?"

The butler was stunned, sat up straight and looked at Song Wu: "What do you mean?"

The butler's face became serious, then he frowned, thought carefully for a while, and shook his head.

"I don't know what the specific truth of the problem is. So I can't tell what the key core point is. Even if it is necessary, we have to wait and see. Well, let's wait and see, so you should protect yourself first, arrange for Minister Zhou, and arrange your family affairs first, and then we can discuss it when the time comes."

Song Wu came out of the butler's office and returned the same way. He was not discovered by anyone. The so-called digitally coded security guards were completely unaware of it. He was becoming more and more confident in himself, and his body was becoming more and more flexible as he used it, and his various skills seemed to be gradually improving.

He even wrote a personal letter, saying that there was no need to arrange a meeting, as it would be inconvenient with too many eyes around.

On his way back to East 42nd Alley, Song Wu was still thinking about his proposal, and it was obvious that the butler was somewhat tempted.

But what he said was true. It was still early and no one had jumped out yet. We couldn't find the key core node yet. As the saying goes, hit the snake at its weakest point. We didn't know where to apply this method.

Song Wu returned to Dong 42nd Hutong and handed the handwritten letter to Minister Zhou under his expectant eyes.

He didn't know what was in the letter, and he didn't read the new note to Minister Zhou. However, he soon saw Minister Zhou's tears streaming down his face as he read the letter, and even his lips began to tremble.

After reading the letter, Minister Zhou reluctantly folded it up and carefully put it in his pocket. He wiped his tears, but smiled and said to Song Wu: "You ran over to ask for a transfer order for me. It can be regarded as a soldier instead of a deserter. When do you think we should set off?"

Song Wu smiled and said, "Don't worry, you need to take care of your body. I'll give you half a bottle of medicine. You should take 4 pills a day. Take care of yourself for a few days. We can set off again when you are well. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on for such a long distance."

Minister Zhou nodded. "Okay, I'll follow your instructions."

It was obvious that he was in much better shape now. He had regained his fighting spirit, as if he could continue to work hard for decades.

Song Wu said to Minister Zhou, "I have to go to your house to pick up your aunt later. Otherwise, if you suddenly disappear, she might be in danger. Is there anything you need to carry with you?"

Minister Zhou thought for a moment and said to Song Wu, "I have several notebooks for work and scientific study. You must bring them back. Your aunt knows that they are in that suitcase. Also, you must bring our family photo albums. The rest doesn't matter."

Song Wu walked out of Dongsi 2nd Hutong, walked a distance forward, got out of the jeep in a remote alley, changed his clothes in the car, put on his military uniform again, shouldered his gun, and drove towards Minister Zhou's house.

The situation is relatively calm now, with no one running around in the streets, fighting or bleeding. Of course, no one has confiscated anything.

Oh, now that he remembered the confiscated items, Song Wu knew he would be busy next. He decided to take a good look around Beijing after sending Minister Zhou away.

We can't let them destroy good things, we must protect them as much as possible.

Minister Zhou's house was a small courtyard. The whole alley seemed very quiet, with every household keeping their doors shut and no movement. Song Wu originally thought it was a bit strange, thinking that the atmosphere here was a bit too tense.

Later I realized that this might be the family quarters of the ministries and commissions. We are all in the learning stage now, so we must be more careful.

When Song Wu's jeep drove into the alley, he could still sense that there were people looking out through the cracks in many doors.

Song Wu parked the car at the door of Minister Zhou's house without even turning off the engine. He got out and knocked on the door.

Zhou Ning's mother opened the door quite quickly. When the door opened, Song Wu was about to greet her with a smile, but he was stunned.

He didn't have a deep impression of Zhou Ning's mother. He had only met her a few times by chance. He only knew that the mother and daughter looked very similar. In his original impression, she was quite young. Although she was old, she didn't look old. But now, he didn't know when her hair turned completely white.

It can be seen that she must be under great psychological pressure due to worrying day and night recently.
Fortunately, my mental and physical state are basically healthy.
