Origin

As the saying goes, the face comes from the heart. Some people have deer-headed and rat-like eyes, which do not look like good people at first glance, while some people have kind eyebrows and kind eyes, which make people feel close to each other at first glance. The old man who spoke belongs to the latter. The first time I saw this person At one glance, Wu Zhongyuan instinctively judged that this person was trustworthy.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan stop swimming downstream, the old man opened the car door, got out of the car, smiled and waved to Wu Zhongyuan, "Come up quickly, the water is cold."

Wu Zhongyuan did not approach the shore immediately, but floated on the water and tilted his head to look at the old man. Upon closer inspection, he found that the man should be around sixty-five years old, with gray hair, a Chinese character face, medium height, and was dressed casually. He was wearing casual clothes and a pair of very old soft leather shoes.

If you just look at his appearance, this person is not much different from those retired old men from state-owned enterprises. However, this person has a detached personality. Between his eyebrows, there is a calmness that remains unchanged even if the mountains are collapsing before his eyes. In his eyes, there is a calmness that has experienced turbulent waves. and calmness.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was still hesitating, the old man took out a red ID card from his jacket pocket, opened it and showed it to Wu Zhongyuan, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Li Wanli. I am the current director of the 18th National Security Bureau. This is my officer." Certificate, you can take a look."

Wu Zhongyuan was about seven or eight meters away from the old man at this time. He knew Qigong and had better eyesight than ordinary people. The ID card held by the old man had a photo of the old man on it, and his name, date of birth, and military rank were clearly written on it. Position and work unit.

The old man's name is Li Wanli. He was born in March 1950. His military rank is major general and his position is the director of the 18th Branch of the National Security Bureau.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had not yet come ashore, Wang Xinran was worried that Director Li would be dissatisfied, so he hurriedly came over and explained, "Director, don't blame him, he is now a frightened bird."

"Don't blame him, I can understand," Director Li waved his hand and turned to Wu Zhongyuan and said, "Comrade Xiao Wu, I have to apologize to you. There are still many problems with the working methods of some comrades in the branch, which are harmful to the country. I don’t fully understand the relevant safety policies, my work attitude is simple and rude, and my bureaucratic style has not been overcome well. You must be a good person before doing things, and you must be trustworthy. Regarding their untrustworthy behavior towards you, I have already informed the relevant responsible persons. I have been severely criticized, and I promise you that similar things will never happen again in the future, please believe me."

After Director Li finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan was stunned. The general was already a very high official. He did not expect that the other party's attitude would be so humble and sincere.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was still in the water, Wang Xinran hurriedly cast an urging look at him, and at the same time secretly raised his hand to signal him to get ashore as soon as possible.

Wu Zhongyuan reacted and slowly swam to the shore.

At this time, the driver and another middle-aged man in the back seat also came over. Director Li waved his hand at them, indicating that they should stay away.

When Wu Zhongyuan swam to the shore, Wang Xinran reached out and pulled him up.

After landing, Wu Zhongyuan immediately let go and retreated, keeping a certain distance from Wang Xinran.

Wang Xinran cast a contemptuous look at Wu Zhongyuan.

"Hello, Comrade Xiao Wu." Director Li extended his hand.

Wu Zhongyuan is very nervous. One reason is that the other party is in a high position. The other reason is that he is worried that the other party will take the opportunity to make trouble. As Wang Xinran said before, he has now become a frightened bird.

Although he was nervous, he still stretched out his hand, and Director Li held his hand tightly. "I am also responsible for this matter. I have been very busy with work recently. I haven't been able to pay enough attention to your affairs. Some The problem was not handled well either.”

Wu Zhongyuan nodded in astonishment.

In fact, he didn't even listen to what Director Li said. What he was most worried about at this time was whether Director Li would let go.

After shaking hands, Director Li let go. "Do you have any change of clothes? Quickly change out of your wet clothes."

"In the village." Wu Zhongyuan said.

In fact, he only had a change of clothes in his backpack. The reason why he said this was to test Director Li's sincerity.

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Director Li turned to look at Wang Xinran, "Xiao Wang, take Xiao Wu back to change clothes. We will wait for you here."

"Yes." Wang Xinran agreed seriously, and then said to Wu Zhongyuan, "Get in the car, why are you standing still?"

Wu Zhongyuan came to his senses and got on the off-road vehicle with Wang Xinran.

Wang Xinran turned around and drove towards the village.

"Our director is here in person, why are you so suspicious and clever?" Wang Xinran asked with a frown.

"What?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.

"We have been to the Yao family, and you didn't leave any clothes there at all." Wang Xinran said.

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer. Since Wang Xinran knew that his unused clothes were left in the village, Director Li naturally knew that the reason why Director Li offered to let Wang Xinran drive him back to the village to change clothes was actually to give the two of them a chance to be alone. , and asked Wang Xinran to further explain some things to him.

Seeing Wu Zhong Yuan Dong's lips turning black, Wang Xinran glanced at him and said, "Are the clothes in the bag wet? If not, change them quickly."

The backpack was kept on Wu Zhongyuan's head. He knew that the things inside were not wet, but he did not change clothes immediately. Instead, he asked, "How did you find me?"

"You can take a guess first." Wang Xinran said.

"Satellite?" Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang Xinran shook his head.

"Have you installed bugs in Yao's house?" Wu Zhongyuan guessed again.

Wang Xinran shook his head again.

"There was road surveillance along the way when I went to the slaughterhouse..."

Wang Xinran waved his hand and interrupted Wu Zhongyuan, "Forget it, you'd better stop guessing. Let me tell you the truth. We have people with special powers in our bureau, and they used supernatural methods to find you."

Wu Zhongyuan was shocked, "Special power? Since you have special powers, why didn't you use them earlier?"

"There are several departments in our bureau, and those people belong to other departments. Our section chief has no right to transfer them, otherwise we would have arrested you long ago." Wang Xinran said.

"Where is your section chief?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"He was suspended," Wang Xinran said with a smile, "No, it should be said that he took a long leave. The director gave him a two-year leave."

"Really?" Wu Zhongyuan confirmed.

"Really," Wang Xinran nodded, "I was originally transferred to another department, but the director transferred me back after he came back."

"Are you implicated by me?" Wu Zhongyuan felt guilty. In order to help him escape that day, Wang Xinran did not hesitate to fire a gun to prevent his colleagues from chasing him.

Wang Xinran did not answer Wu Zhongyuan's words, but asked, "Where is the black suit? Isn't she always with you?"

"She's gone." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"I know she's gone," Wang Xinran said. "I talked to Wang Cuihua before you came back. What I asked was where did she go?"

Wang Xinran didn't have to answer his words, and he didn't have to answer Wang Xinran's question, "You really don't want to arrest me?"

"You didn't break the law, why should we arrest you?" Wang Xinran asked.

"Then why did you arrest me before?" Wu Zhongyuan pouted.

"Your case did not attract enough attention from the superiors before. It has always been handled by our department. It was the decision of the department chief to arrest you and deceive you." Wang Xinran said.

"Really?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned.

"Believe it or not." Wang Xinran was annoyed.

"You really won't take my things?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"What do you have in your backpack? Are you so afraid of people?" Wang Xinran squinted.

At this time, the car had already driven near the village. Wu Zhongyuan pointed the direction and asked Wang Xinran to drive the car near the sheepfold. After getting off the car, he went to the wooden shed where the fodder was stored to change clothes, and then checked the contents of the backpack to see if they were wet. Nothing is lost, it’s all there.

When he came out of the wooden shed, he found Wang Xinran talking to the Yao family woman. He had escaped earlier and was seen by someone in the village. Wang Xinran was explaining to the Yao family woman that he was not a fugitive.

Wu Zhongyuan had never asked the name of the Yao family woman before. When he told Wang Xinran just now, he found out that her name was Wang Cuihua. After coming out, he said goodbye to Wang Cuihua and told her to take good care of Abo.

After getting in the car again, Wang Xinran drove away from the village.

"Should I find a place to put you down and let you hide the things in your backpack first?" Wang Xinran asked.

"Who are you laughing at?" Wu Zhongyuan was unhappy, "I was not so suspicious to begin with, and it was all your fault. If I lied to you twice, would you still believe me?"

"It's your fault," Wang Xinran said, not happy anymore. "You know, I was also kept in the dark by them."

"Well, I can't blame you," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "By the way, you helped me escape last time, and you weren't punished when you came back, right?"

"Does it count as a major demerit and being transferred from the post?" Wang Xinran asked.

"Alas." Wu Zhongyuan sighed.

"Why are you sighing? I heard from Wang Cuihua that you seem to have a good time getting along with the black suit?" Wang Xinran said in a strange tone.

"Stop talking about this," Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, "Why is your director looking for me?"

Wang Xinran said, "He didn't tell me the specific details, but according to my guess, he probably wants to help you."

"Help me? What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan was confused.

Wang Xinran lowered the window and lit a cigarette. "He may have some clues that we don't have, or he may have discovered some problems that we haven't discovered before. I don't know what they are. He should be there in person later." Tell you."

"Is this person trustworthy?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"I can't answer this question for you," Wang Xinran shook his head, "but I can be sure of one thing. This is also recognized by all of us who know Director Li. Director Li is a very upright person and never lies to others. He will not promise what he has promised, and he will definitely fulfill what he has promised.”

"That's good." Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

"I have a request." Wang Xinran said.

Seeing Wang Xinran's solemn words, Wu Zhongyuan was a little confused, "What?"

Wang Xinran threw away the cigarette butt and raised the car window, "Since Director Li has suspended Section Chief Gao's work, it shows that he believes that the work done by Section Chief Gao was wrong, so I guess Director Li will probably help you return In your era, the 18th Branch Bureau is full of talents. Based on the needs of the actual situation, he may assign or let you select some helpers who you think can help you. When the time comes, you must not just because this matter is dangerous. Leave me out.”

"Really?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned and tilted his head.

Wang Xinran said, "Really, we had a conversation on the way here. His views on this matter coincide with what you told me before. He also thinks that since you don't belong here, you should be sent back." If you stay here in a place that belongs to you, it will have an unknown impact on the security of the country and people."

"Does he really think so?" Wu Zhongyuan asked eagerly.

"Yes," Wang Xinran nodded, "He thinks you are a huge security risk, but he will not try to control you like Section Chief Gao did, because doing so is equivalent to prolonging the existence of the hidden danger. I guess he I will do my best to help you, provide you with all-round support, and strive to open the wormhole as soon as possible to send you, the god of plague, away..."
