Chapter 1308 Heading South

After a while, Yang Xiaotao came out of the study, and several people came and sat down.

Seeing Yu Zecheng's serious face, Yang Xiaotao knew something was wrong.

"We know something from the enemy..."

"The other party's purpose is to develop and produce our high-yield crops. The previous direction was not wrong. You are their key target..."

"Fortunately, we notified Dean Deng of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in advance and arrangements have been made."

Yu Zecheng said on the side and took out another document.

"However, there are more enemies than we thought!"

"This is the news from Sijiu City. Your residence was broken into last night."

"Someone is coming in? Who is it?"

Yang Xiaotao was surprised and asked quickly.

Although he is not in the courtyard, there are others.

After hearing this, Yu Zecheng told the news he got in the morning.

"A total of three people were killed."

"Based on their appearance and the evidence of items left at the scene, it can be concluded that these three people should be members of the alliance."

"But I heard that the alliance has stated that the three of them are disguised as agents of the United States, and they have also produced a lot of evidence."

"Our comrades are quarreling with them."

Hao Pingchuan on the side groaned, "Do you still need to ask? It must be them. It's not that easy for ordinary people to come to China."

Yang Xiaotao nodded after hearing this. Today's Sijiucheng is not comparable to that here in Shanghai. There are foreign friends, but they have to be through formal channels.

In addition, all the people are soldiers, and the foreigners in Sijiu City are watched wherever they go.

"From the Alliance? Is it possible that they are still evil-minded?"

Yang Xiaotao thought about the loss the other party suffered last time. Didn't he learn any lessons?

"Not sure."

Yu Zecheng was open-minded, "Which do you think is more important, a few dead people or a strategic weapon that can change the agricultural pattern?"

As soon as he said this, without Yang Xiaotao replying, Hao Pingchuan blurted out, "Weapons are important."

Yang Xiaotao took a look and realized that this guy really didn't keep his words in his mind.

However, this is the most straightforward thing to say.

Having these seeds and mastering this technology is equivalent to getting rid of the shackles on your neck!

You must know that the current Maoxiong Heavy Industry is said to be second to none and no one dares to find fault, but what about the light industry?

This won't work.

Otherwise, the corn boy would not be interested in growing corn.

"What's going on in the yard?"

Yang Xiaotao changed the subject and became concerned about the courtyard.

"A man entered your study to look through the information, but was shot to death..."

"The other two were also killed..."

"By the way, the higher ups are concerned about the issue of data leakage, and also want to ask if you need to leave the courtyard."

"If necessary, we will arrange a military hospital for you."

Yu Zecheng said and looked at Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao pondered for a moment and then shook his head, "I gave all the information about hybrid corn to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. I don't have it at home, and they can't find it."

"Don't worry about that."

"As for moving, forget it."

"After living in this courtyard for so many years, I'm used to it."

"Besides, aren't there you guys?"

Yang Xiaotao finally said that when he learned that it was Lao Dao and Cuiping who killed the two people, it was more of a matter of course than an accident.

Let’s not talk about it. I fought in the Anti-Japanese War all my life, got bald, and finally wandered around the 38th Parallel for a while. It’s strange that I don’t have any skills.

As for Cuiping, this Cuiping is not a flower vase. If this were a TV series, she would be a proper heroine.

Can I have less ability?

After listening to Yang Xiaotao's opinion, Yu Zecheng nodded.

In his opinion, living in this courtyard is not bad. Although the military compound has a nice name, it may not be as good as the street office in terms of actual security.

Around this courtyard, in addition to the street office, there is the police station, the security section of the Red Star Machinery Factory, and people like them.

There was a loophole this time. It was because their people followed and left. The focus was on Yang Xiaotao, and then the courtyard was neglected.

Even so, if you are missing one of your own, wouldn't there be others?

He knew how capable his wife was.

Not to mention the skill in the hands, just those long legs, how can any average man stand it?

As for the broken hand or the kidnapping, neither of them worried about it.

Everyone knows the specific process. If this child does not follow the good grass, he will not be the most unlucky, but will be even more unlucky.

"Don't worry, I'll go back tomorrow. Before then, I won't leave here."

Yang Xiaotao didn't want to cause trouble to Yu Zecheng. Ran Qiuye, who was paying attention, vaguely heard something and knew that this was an extraordinary period, so he didn't say anything more.

"That's great. On the train tomorrow morning, the comrades here have already..."

Yu Zecheng was still talking, but the door was pushed open again, and then he saw Bai Ling striding in, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "The Forty-Nine City Academy of Agricultural Sciences called, asking you to reply quickly."

"What happened!"

Hao Pingchuan jumped up immediately.

"Hybrid rice, something happened!"

Wow

Yang Xiaotao stood up suddenly, "What's the matter? Let's make it clear!"

It was the first time that Yu Zecheng and others saw Yang Xiaotao being so serious. Even Lao Jin was shocked by Yang Xiaotao.

Bai Ling swallowed, "I couldn't explain clearly on the phone. I just said that a researcher was injured and the experimental field was destroyed."

thump thump thump

Yang Xiaotao ran to the study room in two or three steps, "What's the internal number of the Agricultural Science Academy?"

Bai Ling hurriedly followed, "I know!"

Soon, a group of people ran into the study room, and Lao Jin followed in with a shameless face.

Outside, Ran Qiuye looked worried, but Ms. Cui kept comforting her.

Bai Ling taught him to dial a few numbers, and after a series of transfers, the call was finally connected.

"Hello, this is Yang Xiaotao! Looking for Dean Deng!"

Yang Xiaotao asked directly after answering the phone, and soon a voice came from the other end, but it was not from Dean Deng, but from Gao Yufeng.

"Xiaotao, this is Gao Yufeng. The dean is not here, and I received the news about rice research, so I was called to the meeting above."

"Meeting?"

Yang Xiaotao was stunned, and then realized that his superiors should have received the news.

"Lao Gao, what happened? What's wrong with the rice research?"

"The situation is very serious. The research office in the south called and said that the experimental field for rice research there was destroyed. I don't know the details."

"More importantly, our researcher was assassinated by the enemy and is still in danger."

"What?"

"What happened to the experimental field? Isn't there someone watching it? I have already informed the local department, so why did it happen?"

"Also, who was injured? Is it serious?"

Yang Xiaotao asked anxiously. It was precisely because he knew the ups and downs of hybrid rice in the previous life that Yang Xiaotao proposed a support plan to Dean Deng, and for this reason, he specifically emphasized the need to do a good job of protection.

But now it seems that it is useless!

Moreover, there have been casualties that have never occurred in history. If the research on hybrid rice is delayed or even unsuccessful because of his appearance, the consequences will be too serious.

Gao Yufeng couldn't answer Yang Xiaotao's question, so he could only remain silent on the phone.

The two were silent, and Lao Jin and others saw that Yang Xiaotao's face was angry for the first time, which was something they had never seen since they met.

It was also at this moment that everyone felt the majesty of General Manager Yang from the machinery factory.

The previous contempt due to age was gone.

"Lao Gao, leave the matter in the south to me. I'm in Shanghai now and I can rush over as soon as possible."

"Tell the dean and I'll go there."

Gao Yufeng on the opposite side immediately refused when he heard this, "No, do you know your situation? You are the other party's first target now. You don't even know how many people are watching you!"

"Okay, Lao Gao!"

"Are you afraid of choking and not eating? Where is this? This is our China, the people's territory, how many rats can I be afraid of?"

"That's it. As the leader of the technical team, I have the right and obligation to go there."

"Tell the comrades over there to keep the scene well, and those people, no one is allowed to leave."

"That's it, I'll leave right away."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

"Director Yu, it seems that I can't go back to Sijiu City tomorrow!"

Yang Xiaotao spoke directly to Yu Zecheng, who stared at Yang Xiaotao and asked seriously, "Think about it, this trip is very dangerous!"

"Moreover, you must be clear about your importance to the country."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I understand, but I know more about the importance of this research to the country."

"I may not be in trouble if I go."

"But if there is an accident with this technology, all of China will have to tighten their belts to live."

When these words came out, everyone took a breath of cold air.

Especially Hao Pingchuan, who asked without thinking, "Is this, this too exaggerated?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at him seriously, "Not exaggerated at all!"

"Do you know how many people there are in China now?"

"You know that according to the current population growth rate, four or five children in a family is considered small. Twenty years, fifty years later, China's population will exceed one billion. How much food do you think will be needed to fill all these stomachs?"

Hao Pingchuan was stunned on the spot. He really hadn't thought about this question.

"One billion, my God."

Lao Jin had never thought about this problem. In their concept, carrying on the family line and having many children is the real thing. Even if a family has many daughters, they still want to have a son.

Even he has tried hard for this.

It's a pity...

"So, you want to go, right!"

Bai Ling suddenly spoke up. She had read Yang Xiaotao's information, although only part of it, but she knew that Yang Xiaotao also had another position, that is, the director of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the technical team leader of the hybrid support program.

I thought Yang Xiaotao was just a figurehead, and it was a reward from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences for his contribution.

Now it seems that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is serious, and Yang Xiaotao's position is also real!

According to the rank, it is not lower than the director of the Alloy Research Institute he just took up.

"I must go!"

Yang Xiaotao said it firmly.

It's better for him to go than not to go.

And Xiaowei is here, maybe she can help.

Besides, if it doesn't work, use the lucky charm.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's affirmation, Bai Ling stopped trying to persuade him, "Since this happened in Shanghai, we have to go there too."

"Old Hao, you follow Mr. Yang, I'll go arrange the train tickets."

Hao Pingchuan nodded vigorously, "We should have done this a long time ago."

Bai Ling turned and left.

"Wait for the news!"

"The Agricultural Science Academy has to make the decision on this matter."

Yu Zecheng didn't rush to agree, but he also agreed with Yang Xiaotao's decision in his heart.

Yang Xiaotao went to talk to Ran Qiuye after hearing this.

The two have been together for so long, and Ran Qiuye knows exactly who Yang Xiaotao is.

As long as Yang Xiaotao is determined to do something, no one can stop him.

Ran Qiuye knows that Yang Xiaotao's trip is very dangerous, but she has no reason to stop him.

All she can do is wait for him to come back in Sijiucheng.

"Be careful on the road, pay attention to safety!"

"My child and I will go back to Sijiucheng first, we will wait for you!"

Before Yang Xiaotao could speak, Ran Qiuye smiled and said.

Yang Xiaotao nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I can't bear to leave with you."

Then, he looked at Lao Jin and Ms. Cui, "Grandpa, grandma, it happened suddenly!"

Ms. Cui was a little reluctant, even if it was only one day earlier.

But Lao Jin was open-minded, "A good man has ambitions in all directions, and he will do what he wants."

"Your grandma and I don't have to worry about you. When we want to, we will go to Sijiucheng to find you."

Ms. Cui's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard it, and then nodded vigorously.

Seeing that the two old people agreed, Yang Xiaotao went to pack clothes with Ran Qiuye.

Bai Ling acted quickly and called before lunch. The train ticket had been booked for noon.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the time and calculated that it was more than two hours. He said goodbye to Ran Qiuye and the child, and told them to be careful on the road. Then he said goodbye to his grandparents and got on the train to the train station.

Yu Zecheng asked Xiaobo to take people to escort Ran Qiuye back, and he and Hao Pingchuan followed Yang Xiaotao to the south.

As for whether the Academy of Agricultural Sciences agreed or not, it was no longer important.

People were already on the train, and they could be called back.

Besides, Yang Xiaotao was not an ordinary guy. His perception of danger was no weaker than his own. Without the burden of his family, this guy was very powerful.
