Chapter 321 No, it's Miyun Reservoir
Zheng Chaoyang and others were also shocked when they heard the news. It turned out that the "Red Star Transportation Company" was also under their surveillance, although it was not listed as a key observation target.

"Red Star Transport Company" is a public-private partnership with a rather complex internal staff structure.

Most of the employees are old employees of the original company, while a small number of them are fresh blood sent by the city after the public-private partnership.

The company has a complex background stemming from its historical roots.

During the Kuomintang rule, it was the leading private transportation giant in the Beijing-Tianjin area. It was not only involved in commercial transportation, but also undertook important transportation tasks for some of the Kuomintang army and government.

This background enabled the company to play an extremely special role in that special historical period.

After the liberation of Beijing and Tianjin, as the Kuomintang's power retreated, the boss of this company also chose to move south.

During this turbulent time, the deputy general manager named Hu Guangming suddenly took on the heavy responsibility of the company. He chose to lead the employees who stayed behind to continue to stay in this city and maintain the normal operation of the company.

After the public-private partnership, he successfully assumed the position of private manager. At first, the security department secretly monitored him, but his performance was beyond everyone's expectations.

He showed great enthusiasm and expressed firm support for the new government. This positive attitude and clear position soon led the security department to decide to stop monitoring him.

The relevant personnel turned their attention to other employees, especially the car drivers, most of whom were former Kuomintang car soldiers.

Therefore, all signs indicate that this is not a coincidence, especially the special period when "migratory birds" begin their activities.

"There's something wrong with Hu Guangming. Old Chen, you should quickly contact his family and ask them to send someone to the Red Star Transport Company to take Hu Guangming under control. Do it quickly..." Zheng Chaoyang gave the order without hesitation.

Chen Wusheng, an experienced old "anti-spy", nodded calmly, without any extra words, and immediately walked towards the command vehicle.

He quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and began to contact Bai Ling, Hao Dachuan and others who stayed behind. His eyes were firm and his actions were decisive, showing his calmness and courage as an old "anti-special agent".

Liu Zhiye was the fierce general who was in charge of charging into battle. He nodded slightly to several elite members of the action team and briefly assigned the tasks: "Group One will follow me deep into the enemy's territory to capture the target. Group Two will be responsible for the periphery to disperse the idlers to prevent the enemy from becoming desperate." His voice was firm and decisive, revealing unquestionable majesty.

"Yes!" everyone responded in a low voice.

Then, he said to a few capable people in the group, "Wait a minute, don't worry about anything and just rush in. We will catch him off guard."

"Check the watch!"

"In one minute, start the action!"

A minute later, Liu Zhiye led a few people through the gate and headed straight for the residence of "Wang Ba Ye". Their steps were firm and fast, as if some urgent force was pushing them.

In a corner of the room, Mr. Wang was tasting the wine alone. On the eight-immortal table, a pot of mellow wine was quietly placed, and next to it were four exquisite dishes.

The braised carp, the fried pork with chili peppers, and the tempting golden roast chicken all exude a mouth-watering aroma.

There was a look of satisfaction and comfort on Mr. Wang Ba's face, as if at this moment, all his troubles were dispelled by the wine and food.

At this moment, his right ear suddenly trembled, "Oh no, someone is coming..." His face instantly became solemn, and his body tensed up involuntarily. Although he was old, his movements were extremely agile, as if he had returned to his peak state when he was young.

"Mr. Wang Ba's" heart tightened, and he peeked through the narrow crack in the door. He saw several sturdy young men, led by a leader, approaching his room aggressively.

"Oops, I'm exposed!" Wang Baye's face suddenly darkened, and a fierce look appeared on his face. He quickly retreated to the bedroom, and a strong urge surged in his heart, wanting to take out the pistol that he had prepared long ago.

It happened so fast that Liu Zhiye, who was originally in the front, suddenly noticed a figure swaying in front of the door.

His heart tightened, and he thought to himself, "Not good, I've been discovered." So he sped up instantly, knocked the door open in a few steps, and rushed into the house. His eyes quickly swept through every corner, and then he went straight to the bedroom of "Master Wang Ba" without hesitation.

"Ye Bastard" just took out his gun, turned around and fired a shot.

Liu Zhiye only had time to lower his head and then lift the "Emperor Wangba's" arm. There was a loud "bang" and it almost deafened Liu Zhiye's ears.

Outside the door, Zheng Chaoyang and others heard the gunshots and said, "Oh no, go and support them quickly." Then, everyone rushed in like a swarm of bees.

They rushed into the room and saw "Wang Ba Ye" handcuffed on the ground, his face pale. At the same time, Liu Zhiye was rubbing his ears in pain, holding a pistol tightly in his hand.

"Zhiye, are you okay?" Zheng Chaoyang asked hurriedly with concern.

Liu Zhiye shook his head and said, "I'm fine. This is a Browning M1911, a good gun." Then he threw the gun to Zheng Chaoyang.

At this moment, "Mr. Wang Ba" woke up from his dream, and he faced the reality, "It turns out that my opponent is you, Zheng Chaoyang. My loss is not unfair." He admitted dejectedly. He didn't expect that he would eventually fall into the hands of this man.

He still refused to bow his head stubbornly, with an unconvinced smile on his face: "Tell me, how did you see through me? I thought I acted cautiously and flawlessly, and no one could detect my tracks."

His voice was full of confidence and provocation, as if in his world, he really was an omnipotent and invulnerable being.

However, for Zheng Chaoyang in front of him, all his disguise and hiding were in vain.

Zheng Chaoyang's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and the joy of victory was gone.

He once had a deep relationship with "Mr. Wang Ba". Decades of neighborly friendship and countless interactions formed the bond between them.

However, the trick of fate made them stand on opposite sides and become each other's biggest rivals. Zheng Chaoyang couldn't help but sigh at this change.

Before Zheng Chaoyang could speak, Liu Zhiye asked in a deep voice, "Do you still remember the chef in Hongbinlou, Liu Hongshen?"

"Wang Ba Ye" frowned and fell into reminiscence, "I remember, there was such a person, what does he have to do with me?"

Liu Zhiye said bluntly: "This is my third uncle. He had discovered your secret contact with the enemy special agent 205. But at that time, because of his grudge with the "Crying Stick", he hurriedly fled the capital. It was not until Master Duo recognized him that your identity was completely exposed."

"Master Wang Ba" laughed bitterly when he heard this: "I never thought that I, Zhuge Liang, who was always cautious throughout his life, would end up being ruined by a small person. How sad and lamentable."

"Hahaha……"

Zheng Chaoyang said with a complicated look in his eyes: "Eighth Master, surrender and try to get leniency..."

"Over the years, you should have seen that our country is becoming increasingly powerful and the living standards of the people are constantly improving. This is a brand new era, an era full of hope and opportunities."

His words revealed a firmness and confidence, as if he was telling Master Ba that surrender was not a humiliation but a wise choice.

In this new era, everyone has the opportunity to start over and rewrite their own destiny.

After hearing this, "Wang Ba Ye" shook his head decisively, his voice revealing helplessness and determination: "Surrender? It's too late now. I know that what I have done is doomed to fail. I don't ask for a lingering life, but I hope you can give me a quick death for the sake of our past acquaintance."

Zheng Chaoyang wanted to persuade him again, but Mr. Wang was already disheartened and only wanted to die quickly, not willing to say anything more.

At this moment, a team member suddenly rushed in from outside the door. He reported breathlessly: "Team Leader Zheng, Comrade Bai Ling has an emergency call."

Zheng Chaoyang felt an inexplicable anxiety in his heart. He took the walkie-talkie and urged Bai Ling anxiously, "Tell me quickly, what happened?"

In a corner of the Red Star Transport Company, Bai Ling held a walkie-talkie and said anxiously, "Old Zheng, the situation is urgent. Hu Guangming drove away with two people."

"Also, we found a dark room in his office. There were a lot of fuses and some remnants of military explosives. I suspect they might have explosives in their car."

"What?" Zheng Chaoyang was stunned and an inexplicable panic surged in his heart.

The cold sweat on his forehead slid down like beads from a broken string, instantly soaking his shirt.

Being in the prosperous city of Beijing, he knew very well that the power of a truckload of military explosives was enough to create a huge wave, and the consequences would be so serious that they were simply unimaginable.

Zheng Chaoyang tried to suppress his inner anxiety and asked calmly, "Have you sent someone to chase him? What car model is he driving? What's the license plate number?" After hanging up the walkie-talkie, Zheng Chaoyang felt that the situation was a bit serious and he had to report it. He quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and called Director Luo for an early warning, "Boss, the situation is urgent, this is..."

Liu Zhiye saw Zheng Chaoyang's solemn expression after he hung up the phone, and his heart tightened. He quickly walked forward to find out what was going on.

Zheng Chaoyang looked at him, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety: "Zhiye, the situation is not good, Bai Ling just sent news..." His voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to carry a heavy pressure.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhiye moved, turned around quickly, and walked quickly into the house.

His eyes were fixed on "Master Wang Ba" and without any warning, he stretched out his powerful hands and lifted Master Wang Ba directly from the ground.

Liu Zhiye's eyes were cold, and his tone revealed an unquestionable majesty: "Tell me quickly, what exactly are Hu Guangming and the others planning?"

"Master Wang Ba" coughed twice with some difficulty breathing and said, "Ahem... It's great that you found it so quickly."

Then, he looked at Liu Zhiye provocatively and said, "Unfortunately, it's a bit late, hahahaha..."

"You..." Liu Zhiye was furious.

Zheng Chaoyang intervened in time to stop Liu Zhiye from losing control of his anger. He turned to the man known as "Emperor Wang Ba" and said firmly and directly: "Emperor Wang Ba, what's the point of doing this now? Are you still going to be loyal to that group of people?"

"You are from the capital, and you want to harm our fellow countrymen? Do you really want to be infamous forever?"

Although "Wang Ba Ye" was forced to serve that gang, he was unwilling in his heart. He knew his situation very well and understood that what Zheng Chaoyang said made sense.

Although he was not afraid of death, he did not want to be infamous for eternity.

"I just gave them instructions to do something big, but they are responsible for how to do it."

"It's nothing more than blowing up some important facilities and creating chaos."

Zheng Chaoyang's brows were furrowed, and his words revealed an unspeakable anxiety: "Where do you think they will choose to start?" He asked again, his voice full of unwillingness and determination.

The eyes of "Wang Ba Ye" suddenly became sharp, as if he remembered something important. He whispered to himself: "I remember that Hu Guangming once asked me to help find the design drawings of Miyun Reservoir. Could it be..." His words revealed deep fear.

"How dare this bastard?" When Liu Zhiye, Zheng Chaoyang and others heard the news, they suddenly felt a chill running from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

They realized that the other party's target was the Miyun Reservoir, an important water source that carried the livelihoods and hopes of countless people in the Beijing area.

Miyun Reservoir, located 13 kilometers north of Miyun, Beijing, is located in the mountains and hills of Yanshan Mountain. It was built in September 60.

The reservoir area is 180 square kilometers, and the circumference of Miyun Reservoir is 200 kilometers. Miyun Reservoir has a storage capacity of 40 billion cubic meters and an average water depth of 30 meters.

Miyun Reservoir has two major rivers flowing into it, namely Baihe River and Chaohe River. Miyun Reservoir is the largest reservoir in North China and the most important surface drinking water source in Beijing, known as the "Pearl of Yanshan Mountain".

40 billion cubic meters of water is a lot. The total reservoir capacity of the famous Three Gorges Dam in later generations is less than 400 billion cubic meters. The Miyun Reservoir is equivalent to one tenth of the Three Gorges Reservoir.

In some military forums in later generations, foreign strategists turned their attention to the Three Gorges Dam of the Xia State as an imaginary enemy and regarded it as a potential primary target of attack.

Why? Once the dam is blown up, the consequences will be disastrous. Several provinces downstream will face a devastating disaster, and the safety of people's lives and property will be seriously threatened.

Therefore, if an accident occurs in the Miyun Reservoir, the area around the capital will instantly become a water town. This ancient capital with hundreds of years of history will disappear in an instant, and countless lives will suffer a catastrophic blow.

Needless to say, Liu Zhiye, Zheng Chaoyang and others were extremely anxious. They did not expect the enemy to be so cruel.

Even the instigator, "Master Wang Ba", looked pale. The capital is his home, and if something really happened, he would be guilty of a great sin.

"The situation is urgent and must be reported immediately! We hope that the people in Miyun can act quickly and intercept these targets before them. Every minute and every second is crucial, and we can't slack off in the slightest." Liu Zhiye said, wiping a cold sweat.

Without saying a word, Chen Wusheng picked up the walkie-talkie and began to report to his superiors.

Liu Zhiye felt that his inner anxiety was becoming more and more serious. He believed in his intuition, which was honed on the battlefield of blood and fire.

"Old Zheng, we can't keep waiting like this. You guys are responsible for finishing the job here. I will personally hunt down Hu Guangming and the others."

Zheng Chaoyang frowned, his tone revealing deep worry: "Zhiye, it may be futile to chase him now. We must trust the comrades in Miyun. They will definitely be able to stop Hu Guangming in time."

Liu Zhiye decisively refused. He shook his head and said firmly: "No, I am worried about going there myself. But I know a secret path that can take us to Miyun. We have walked this path before during the previous training of the detachment."

Zheng Chaoyang ordered without hesitation: "That's settled, bring two more comrades with you to assist you."

Liu Zhiye shook his head firmly, his voice filled with unquestionable firmness: "No, I'll go alone, with a small group, and the speed will be faster." After that, he turned around, walked away with firm steps, and left without hesitation.

Zheng Chaoyang warned him from behind: "Zhiye, be careful, it's all up to you!"

Liu Zhiye waved his hand and replied: "Don't worry, I will complete the task!"

------

Liu Zhiye drove the jeep at full speed, ruthlessly crushing every inch of land.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly with a determined look in his eyes, like a lone beast, running wildly along the country road leading to the Miyun Reservoir, covered in dust.

Amid the protesting roar of the jeep engine, Liu Zhiye, who had already pushed his driving skills to the limit, kept muttering, "Faster, faster..."

After a long journey, they finally arrived at their destination. In the distant horizon, under the blue sky, a sparkling, endless reservoir appeared before their eyes.

Miyun Reservoir, this vast body of water, is like a shining pearl inlaid among the mountains.

However, there is only a winding mountain road leading to its depths, which is like a thin line that closely connects the outside world with this secret place.

Therefore, Liu Zhiye was not afraid of not finding the target, he just walked along the mountain road.

As we approached the entrance, a large Jiefang truck suddenly appeared on the embankment, and three people were busy unloading items from the truck.

Liu Zhiye thought: "Sure enough, the comrades here didn't make it in time."

The movement of the jeep was also noticed by Hu Guangming and others.

He stopped what he was doing, looked up, and saw a jeep speeding towards him like an arrow.

His expression suddenly changed, and his voice revealed an unprecedented tension: "Brother Hu, the situation is not good, someone is coming!"

Hu Guangming narrowed his eyes and scolded, "Why are you panicking? Let's see what happens first."

So, the three of them climbed up the levee separately, and took out their weapons to be on guard.

After a while, another person said in surprise: "Brother Hu, there is only one of him, hey..."

Hu Guangming sneered at this and ordered: "Shuanzi, Xiaowu, it's your chance to make contributions. There is only one person like this. Go and kill him."

Shuanzi and Xiaowu looked at each other, rubbing their hands and saying, "Brother Hu, just wait and see, we brothers will definitely get it done."

As they spoke, the two men pulled the bolt of the "Chicago" typewriter in tacit understanding, leaned forward slightly, and approached Liu Zhiye cautiously.

Their movements were skillful and agile, obviously beyond the reach of ordinary novices.
