Siheyuan: Starting from the Old Society

"That's right, Brother Si'an, don't do this next time. We all thought you were going to be arrested by the Intelligence Department!" Wu Ergou said with lingering fear.

Although Zhou Qiang didn't say anything, he kept nodding, obviously agreeing with what the two said.

Lin Sian knew that everyone was concerned about him, so he smiled and comforted them, "Alright, alright, I'm fine now, right? Besides, I have the 'gold medal of immunity from death', so what do I have to be afraid of?"

He shook the "director's handwritten note" that Jiang Zhongwen gave him, looking very proud.

"How dare you say that! Do you know that Lao Song and I took great pains to get you out of Qian Dahai's hands?" Jiang Zhongwen said unhappily, "You owe us a big favor!"

"Yes, yes, Director Jiang, Brother Song, thank you so much this time. I'll treat you some other day and we'll have a drink!" Lin Sian bowed, looking "grateful and grateful".

"Don't give me that. Let's put the drinking aside for now. Let me ask you, how did you get into trouble with the Intelligence Department?" Jiang Zhongwen asked seriously.

"This..." Lin Sian pretended to hesitate, thinking: I can't tell you this. What if you give me away, I'll be dead, right?

"What? It's not convenient to say?" Song Qingyang saw Lin Sian's concerns and asked.

"It's not that I can't tell you, but..." Lin Sian lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "This matter is related to a huge secret. I'm afraid that if I tell you, you will be scared to death!"

"Oh? A big secret?" Jiang Zhongwen and Song Qingyang looked at each other and became interested.

"What's the secret? Tell me now!"

Lin Sian cleared his throat and said mysteriously, "I suspect... there is a mole in the Intelligence Department!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like dropping a bomb on a calm lake, immediately causing a thousand waves.

"What?! A traitor?!" Jiang Zhongwen and Song Qingyang said in unison, their faces filled with shock.

"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Lin Sian quickly made a gesture to silence the crowd. "This matter is of great importance. You must not tell anyone about it!"

"Don't talk nonsense, kid! The Intelligence Department is the core department of our Security Department, how could there be a traitor?" Jiang Zhongwen lowered his voice and said seriously.

"Director Jiang, what I said is true! I saw with my own eyes that someone from the Intelligence Department was secretly contacting the Japanese!" Lin Sian said solemnly.

"Did you see it with your own eyes? When? Where?" Song Qingyang asked.

"Just..." Lin Sian paused deliberately, looked around, and lowered his voice and said, "Just the night before yesterday, I was in a restaurant near Dongjiaomin Lane..."

Lin Sian described vividly what he had "seen with his own eyes". Of course, these were all fabricated by him in order to divert their attention and stop them from pursuing the issue of his arms trafficking.

Jiang Zhongwen and Song Qingyang were stunned. Although they were skeptical, Lin Sian's words were so convincing that they had to believe it.

"If it's really as you said, then this matter is serious!" Jiang Zhongwen frowned, his face solemn.

"Yes, the Intelligence Department is our eyes and ears. If even the Intelligence Department has problems, the consequences will be disastrous!" Song Qingyang said with a worried look on his face.

"So, we have to think carefully about this matter and we must not alert the enemy!" Lin Sian said in a mature manner.

"Well, what you said makes sense." Jiang Zhongwen nodded, "We know about this matter. Don't worry, we will secretly investigate it thoroughly."

"That's good, that's good." Lin Sian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought: I finally fooled these guys!

"By the way, Si'an," Song Qingyang suddenly remembered something, "You said before that you sold arms to the Hong Party in order to complete a secret mission?"

"Yes, Brother Song, why do you suddenly ask this?" Lin Sian's heart skipped a beat and he thought: Don't they believe me?

"It's like this, Sian, we want to know who assigned you this task?" Jiang Zhongwen stared at Lin Sian with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.

Lin Sian suddenly felt an invisible pressure coming towards him, making him almost unable to breathe...

Lin Sian was made uncomfortable by this sudden "concern". He laughed dryly and said, "Alright, alright, let's leave quickly. I don't want to stay in this damn place for even a second longer."

Qiu Haitang rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "Do you think we want to come? If you hadn't caused trouble, would we have been dragged here to clean up your mess?"

Zhou Qiang and Wu Ergou also chimed in, criticizing Lin Sian one after another, but their tone was somewhat intimate.

Lin Sian knew that these guys had sharp tongues but soft hearts. Although they were harsh in words, they were still on his side in their hearts.

Several people followed Jiang Zhongwen and Song Qingyang out of the security office. Before they had time to catch their breath, they saw a black car parked at the door. The license plate number was "京A·".

"Oh my god, who is this, so awesome?" Zhou Qiang exclaimed, his eyes almost glued to the license plate.

Wu Ergou was also amazed: "This license plate is probably worth a courtyard house, right?"

Although Qiu Haitang didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed on the car, and he was obviously shocked by the scene.

Lin Sian's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

Sure enough, the car door opened and a tall man in a black windbreaker got out. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses that covered most of his face, but judging from the exposed chin and lip lines, he must be a tough guy.

The man walked straight to Jiang Zhongwen, nodded slightly, and then said in a low voice: "Director Jiang, long time no see."

"It's Director Zhao. What brings you here?" Jiang Zhongwen's face was full of smiles, but his tone was cautious.

"What? You don't welcome me?" Director Zhao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Of course not. It is an honor for our humble home to have Director Zhao visit us!" Jiang Zhongwen hurriedly laughed it off but was secretly complaining in his heart.

This Director Zhao is not a good person. He is the second in command of the Intelligence Department. He is insidious, cunning, ruthless, and is known as a "smiling tiger" in the capital. He suddenly appeared here today, and he must have no good intentions.

"I heard that Director Jiang arrested a big shot today?" Director Zhao said, looking at Lin Sian and others.

Jiang Zhongwen's heart tightened, and he stood in front of Lin Si'an calmly, saying with a smile: "Director Zhao, you are joking. They are just small characters and not worth mentioning."

"Oh? Really?" Director Zhao smiled noncommittally, then suddenly took off his sunglasses and stared at Lin Sian with his hawk-like eyes, "This is Lin Sian, right?"

Lin Sian felt uneasy at the sharp look, but he still tried to remain calm and said nothing.

"I'm here today to invite Mr. Lin to the Intelligence Department for a cup of tea." Director Zhao said with a sneer on his face. That smile seemed to be saying: Boy, you're dead!

Lin Sian felt very uncomfortable with this sudden "concern". He knew these guys too well. Each of them was smarter than a monkey. Today's scene might be for other purposes.

"Alright, alright, stop with all this nonsense. Just tell me, what do you want me to do?" Lin Sian rolled his eyes, too lazy to beat around the bush with them.

"Hehe, it's Si'an who understands us." Zhou Qiang rubbed his hands, looking flattering, "Isn't there a new casino that has just opened? I heard it has a strong backer, I want to go and see for myself."

"Go away, you only know how to gamble. Don't you look at your little fortune? Don't come to me crying if you lose it all." Qiu Haitang slapped Zhou Qiang on the head and turned to Lin Sian and said, "Sian, we want you to help check someone."

"Investigate someone? Investigate who? Are you guys in the Second Intelligence Department just here to eat and do nothing?" Lin Sian glanced at Qiu Haitang.

"This... this is not ordinary..." Wu Ergou stammered, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"Speak human language!" Lin Sian said unhappily.

"Yes...it's about your fiancée..." Jiang Zhongwen sighed and decided not to hide it anymore.

Lin Sian's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

His fiancée, named Su Wan'er, was a famous beauty in the courtyard. They had been childhood sweethearts and were already at the stage of discussing marriage.

However, just half a year ago, Su Wan'er suddenly left without saying goodbye, leaving only a letter saying that she was going to pursue her dream, and there has been no news since then.

Lin Sian had thought about sending someone to look for her, but Su Wan'er seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and could not be found no matter how hard they tried.

"Wan'er...what happened?" Lin Sian's voice trembled a little.

"We found out that Su Wan'er might have had an affair with the Japanese..." Jiang Zhongwen hesitated for a moment, but still said it out loud.

"what?!"

Lin Sian just felt a buzzing sound in his head, as if ten thousand bees were buzzing in his ears.

"Impossible! Wan'er would never do such a thing!" Lin Sian stood up suddenly and glared at Jiang Zhongwen, "Did you make a mistake?"

"Si'an, don't get excited. We came to this conclusion based on intelligence analysis, and the specific situation needs further investigation." Seeing this, Song Qingyang hurried out to smooth things over.

"Yes, yes, Sian, we will definitely get to the bottom of this and clear Su Wan'er's name!" Qiu Haitang also echoed.

"Okay, I'll give you three days. I want to know all the truth!"

Lin Sian suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that now was not the time to lose his temper. The most urgent task was to find out the truth!

"Three days? This..."

Qiu Haitang and others looked at each other in bewilderment. Three days was too short a time to investigate something like this.

"What? Is there a problem?" Lin Sian glanced at them coldly.

"No... no problem! I promise to complete the mission!"

Under the pressure of Lin Sian's "tyranny", Qiu Haitang and others had no choice but to agree.
