A few days later, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently.

Captain Wu suddenly received a notice to go to the retirement home. With a hint of doubt and trepidation, he hurried to his destination.

As soon as he entered the retirement home, Captain Wu was led by an orderly straight to an exquisite two-story building.

This small building has an extraordinary appearance and a quiet and peaceful environment. It is obviously a residence specially arranged for military-level cadres.

Walking into the house, the spacious and bright living room is elegantly decorated.

Captain Wu sat carefully on the soft and comfortable sofa. The orderly smiled and poured him a glass of warm water, then said softly: "The commander is on the phone, please wait a moment, he will be down soon." After that, the orderly stepped aside and stood quietly.

While waiting, Captain Wu couldn't help but think to himself.

Some time ago, he personally led his men to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the family members in the retirement home, during which he caught many "rats" hiding in the dark.

However, after some thought, he felt that being called here this time seemed to have nothing to do with the family of the leader surnamed Lu.

After all, the Lu family was not involved in the previous inventory work.

Time passed minute by minute, and about a quarter of an hour later, only heavy and hurried footsteps were heard coming from the stairs.

Immediately afterwards, Chief Lu walked out of the study quickly with an angry face.

Even before I got close, I could feel the raging anger emanating from him.

When Chief Lu saw Captain Wu sitting on the sofa, he was immediately furious and asked bluntly: "Have you soldiers who are responsible for patrolling the Qinling Mountains ever met a few young men and women hunting in the mountains?" His voice was so loud that it was deafening.

Facing Chief Lu's sudden question, Captain Wu was stunned for a moment, then frowned and answered seriously:

"If our soldiers really found someone going up the mountain without permission, they would immediately stop them according to regulations and patiently persuade them to return down the mountain.

Furthermore, we have already posted clear warning signs in the patrol area of ​​Hu County in the Qinling Mountains, clearly stating that no one is allowed to go up the mountain or engage in hunting activities."

At the end of his speech, Captain Wu unconsciously lowered his voice to show his respect for the leader.

Commander Lu suppressed the anger in his heart and took a few deep breaths before he managed to calm the burning anger a little.

He sighed deeply and looked out the window with heavy and worried eyes. There was the towering main peak of the Qinling Mountains, shrouded in clouds and mist.

"Alas! It's all because I, as an elder, failed to educate the children well. They are so willful and reckless, even running off into the mountains without telling the adults.

How could they understand that these deep mountains and old forests were no place to joke around, and they had no experience of surviving in such an environment at all.

"The Qinling Mountains are now teeming with ferocious beasts and teeming with danger. I wonder what terrible consequences these children will face." Commander Lu muttered to himself worriedly.

After saying this, he turned around, a pleading look on his face, and said to Captain Wu in a sincere and gentle tone, "Old Wu, please send more people into the mountains to help search. If all else fails, hire some local villagers who are familiar with this area to help search. No matter what, we must find these children as soon as possible and make sure they are safe."

Upon hearing this, Captain Wu immediately stood up straight and saluted Commander Lu with a standard military salute. Then, he said with a serious face, "Don't worry, Commander. We will do our best to search for the whereabouts of the children. However..."

Having said that, Captain Wu paused slightly, as if he recalled some unpleasant memories, and his expression became a little solemn.

"Don't you know that when we came here to suppress the bandits before, those bandits also hid in the caves deep in the Qinling Mountains? What happened?

After a burst of wooden fish sounds, they bit each other to death. The bodies were even more severely bitten off by wild beasts, with arms and legs ripped off. In the end, not even a single intact body was found.

So the situation in the Qinling Mountains is indeed very dangerous, but please believe me, Commander, no matter how difficult it is, we will never give up hope of finding the children!

Captain Wu slowly walked out of the antique door on the second floor. His steps were steady and powerful, as if every step carried a heavy responsibility and thought.

After stopping, he suddenly turned around, his eyes as sharp as lightning, staring directly at the orderly behind him and asked, "Isn't that the woman named Lin Shuoshuo who Chief Lu was talking about just now instigating everyone to go hunting in the mountains?"

Orderly soldier Xiao Zhang nodded quickly and replied, "That's right, Commander. It's said that Xiao Lin was someone Commander Lu's second son met in Kyoto. I don't know how he managed to come along this time. As for the details, we're still waiting for further investigation from Kyoto."

Hearing this, Captain Wu couldn't help but frown, his eyebrows were tightly knitted together, forming a deep "川" shape.

He continued to ask with a look of suspicion, "Are you 100% sure that this Lin Shuoshuo is her? Could she have been replaced by someone else?"

Xiao Zhang obviously didn't expect the leader to suddenly ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment, but soon recovered and hurriedly replied:

"To reply to the captain, Kyoto has commissioned the National Security Department to assist in the investigation. I expect to receive a reply this afternoon. Please be patient."

After hearing this, Captain Wu curled his lips slightly, a sneer of disdain hung on the corner of his mouth, and muttered:

"Humph, our country was only established not long ago, and these dandies have popped up one after another like mushrooms after rain! Tsk tsk tsk tsk...

Look at the second son of Chief Lu's family, the third son of the Jiang family, and the fourth son of the Lu family. The second, third, and fourth sons are all missing the eldest son!"

After saying that, he shook his head helplessly and let out a long sigh.

...

After returning to the base, Captain Wu hurried into the office, sat down on the chair, frowned, and discussed the matter of searching in the mountains with his political commissar.

At this time, Zheng Feng quietly approached Captain Wu and said in a low voice, "Captain, you said this is not a easy matter to handle.

Those idiots went hunting in the mountains and accidentally came across something weird.

What if they fired a gun in panic, angering the mountain god and trapping them?

This is such a vast mountain, where should we even begin our search? "

When Captain Wu heard this, his heart skipped a beat, but he still pretended to be calm and replied:

"Don't let your imagination run wild. There aren't that many gods and ghosts out there. Besides, people from the nearby villages often go into the mountains to hunt, and I've never heard of a mountain god keeping anyone trapped in the Qinling Mountains forever!"

Having said that, Captain Wu's gaze involuntarily drifted to the rolling, misty Qinling Mountains outside the window, and a hint of worry rose in his heart.
