Mid-Levels Farm

When they were seated at the dinner, Xuan Xiaodong put a caramel apple butter pastry in front of Luo Yan. When Luo Yan saw the caramel apple, her eye circles were slightly red again. She looked at Xuan Xiaodong and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Xuan."

Xuan Xiaodong looked at her and smiled, and directed the assistant chef to serve the dishes, fill everyone's wine glasses, and sat back beside Sheng Wuyu.Li Li next to him rolled his eyes at Luo Yan, and whispered, "You are the one who is soft-hearted."

Luo Yan whispered: "There must have been a misunderstanding back then. The captain said everything to be treated as a protection object for the first time. You are not allowed to have any emotions, or you will be severely punished. Be careful, and don't let Mr. Sheng see the clues."

Li Li said: "You just have to be careful."

Sheng Wuyu raised his glass: "I can't drink alcohol, and I know that everyone can't drink alcohol during the task. The drinks are sparkling fruit drinks. The next days will depend on you. If there is anything that is not thoughtful, everyone is free."

Xuan Xiaodong also toasted with him, seeing Sheng Wuyu's polite and modest tone, knowing that Sheng Wuyu must also understand that the identities of these people cannot be regarded as ordinary bodyguards.

Yan Ruifeng led the team to toast and said: "I also wish Mr. Sheng a speedy recovery and everything goes well for our trip."

Everyone toasted and drank, and then began to dine. The dishes were rich, and Sheng Wuyu was a master of entertainment. He first asked about Yan Ruifeng's hometown, then talked about the local scenery and food, and talked about it. Everyone was a little bit worried about his diplomat Impressed by his demeanor, they chatted happily at the banquet for a while.

Luo Yan whispered to Li Li from below: "Mr. Sheng is really charming... and brother Xiaodong is also very good."

Li Li said: "The captain is so kind to you, you don't want to help the captain anymore."

Luo Yan muttered in a low voice: "He's married, you can see that the rings are all on, brother Xiaodong is also very kind to me, our team has changed so many people, only a few old ones are left, why bother?" We still have to carry emotions, we have to carry out missions together for a long time, and this time with Brother Xiaodong, I feel so safe."

Li Lidao: "Deputy Captain Cheng said that this marriage was a temporary one. Maybe the Sheng family just wanted to protect their own family. Knowing that Xiaodong's spear skills are amazing, they asked Xiaodong to protect him personally. Otherwise, the identity gap would be too big. It should be just a formal marriage for the convenience of going abroad."

Luo Yan was a little disdainful: "How come, didn't you see Brother Xiaodong kissing Mr. Sheng when he came back and got off the car? He also sent flowers, when did Brother Xiaodong become so romantic? If he was married, he could be so affectionate And you see, although Mr. Sheng has been talking to us, every time brother Xiaodong brings him food or something, he turns his head and smiles at him, and eats them all. The relationship is so good, what do you know? Deputy The team is jealous."

Li Li was a little speechless: "I'm jealous, Xiaodong is no longer in the team, and he is no longer in the same group."

Luo Yan said: "The deputy team obviously likes Team Yan, and Team Yan is obviously in a state of mind today. Hey, Team Yan is so pitiful."

Li Lidao: "You have started to have unnecessary feelings again. The captain has a bright future. After retiring this time, after the mission is over, he will definitely be transferred to a high-ranking official. Then he will naturally meet someone better. Xiaodong... There is nothing wrong with it." , but at that time our captain was seriously ill, and the Gao team Xiao Lao was gone, he left without saying goodbye, and left as soon as he said it, it was indeed too unbrotherly."

Luo Yandao: "I still think he has difficulties. Now it seems that it must have something to do with the captain. I remember that one year I went back to visit relatives and went to see Xiaolao's family. They said that a comrade-in-arms surnamed Xuan also came to see him. Give them some money."

Li Li's face also turned slightly: "I hope so, but you are right, with him accompanying Mr. Sheng, the difficulty of our mission this time will be greatly reduced."

The two were talking when they suddenly saw Xuan Xiaodong leave the table to answer the phone, and came back after a while to talk to Sheng Wuyu in a low voice: "Mom said she met an acquaintance, and she was embarrassed to leave, so let me pick her up." If you have an excuse to leave the meeting, Leilei is working, and Lele has to take care of Xiao Zhong, it is most suitable for me to go, I will be back soon."

Sheng Wuyu said: "Okay, be careful on the road."

Xuan Xiaodong nodded to Yan Ruifeng who was on the side: "Everyone take it easy, I have something to go out temporarily, excuse me."

After Xuan Xiaodong finished speaking, he went out. Yan Ruifeng watched him go out. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see him start the million-dollar luxury car. The bright lights illuminated the carved iron door, and he slid out slowly.

The dinner was over soon, and Yan Ruifeng, Cheng Yuan, and Sheng Wuyu went to the study to confirm the action plan and departure details with him.

Cheng Yuan saw that Sheng Wuyu didn't mention the replacement at all, and it seemed that Xuan Xiaodong just talked about it, but smiled inwardly.After confirming the details of the operation, Sheng Wuyu said kindly: "Then trouble the two captains to arrange everything. My wife and I will fully cooperate with the actions of the two captains."

Sheng Wuyu's attitude is gentle and modest, without the slightest arrogance. Cheng Yuan had contacted him by phone several times before. Seeing you today, he felt that this person really deserves to be a former diplomat. His demeanor and conversation are very good. , he felt that Sheng Wuyu had a very good temper, and thought that instead of waiting for Xuan Xiaodong to come back at night to blow the pillow breeze, he might as well lay a foreshadowing first, so as to save Mr. Sheng from listening and believing.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yuan smiled and said: "By the way, Mr. Xuan and I had some misunderstandings and quarrels before dinner today. Mr. Xuan asked our captain to fire me at that time. Captain Yan also criticized me for being unprofessional. Originally I want to formally apologize to Mr. Xuan again, but unfortunately he went out, so I have to say sorry to Mr. Sheng first, and I have a chance to apologize for Mr. Xuan and me. It’s just that our operation is top secret, and all personnel have already Arrangements are made, the relevant procedures and certificates, and all action plans are strictly arranged, and I am the main maker of the plan, so it is unlikely to change people, and I will pay more attention to Mr. Xuan's emotions in the future."

Yan Ruifeng turned his head to look at him with some disapproval in his eyes, but Cheng Yuan only avoided Yan Ruifeng's gaze and only looked at Sheng Wuyu. He felt that when Xuan Xiaodong went to Jialan Country in the future, he might use Sheng Wuyu's hand. Rectifying them and not cooperating with them will still be troublesome at that time, so it is better to prepare a case with Sheng Wuyu in advance to lay a foreshadowing, let Sheng Wuyu know that Xuan Xiaodong is acting emotionally, and it will be easy to act at that time.Anyway, Xuan Xiaodong would definitely not tell Sheng Wuyu about their quarrel, and he would definitely not want Sheng Wuyu to know that he knew them.

Sheng Wuyu looked up in surprise, "Xiaodong proposed a substitution?"

Cheng Yuan said with a smile: "There was some small misunderstanding when deploying the defense. There was an argument with Mr. Xuan, and Mr. Xuan was a little unhappy. I apologized to him in person, but Mr. Xuan got angry and proposed to fire me. We were not good at that time. Explain to Mr. Xuan the special nature of this operation...he only treats me as an ordinary bodyguard, and he can fire me at will."

Sheng Wuyu looked at Yan Ruifeng: "Is my lover a replacement request from Captain Yan?"

Yan Ruifeng said: "Yes."

Sheng Wuyu withdrew his smile: "How did Captain Yan reply?"

Yan Ruifeng was silent and did not answer. Cheng Yuan was shocked when he saw Sheng Wuyu's expression, and quickly smiled and said: "This operation was approved by the Army Department. All participants have undergone strict political review and assessment. Temporary replacement of personnel is not easy. Realistically, I will once again sincerely apologize to Mr. Huan in person, and ask him to calm down so that he can cooperate with our actions."

Sheng Wuyu glanced at him again in surprise: "Let me confirm the content of this operation again. In this operation, you are cooperating with my operation, protecting the safety of me and my spouse, and providing security protection for corresponding operations according to my requirements. In an emergency, you need to follow my instructions completely. Nothing wrong, right?"

Yan Ruifeng looked at Sheng Wuyu: "Yes."

Sheng Wuyu said: "There is no need for my spouse to cooperate with your actions, right?"

Cheng Yuan smiled and said: "You misunderstood Mr. Sheng, what I mean is that in terms of security protection, we need the cooperation of the protected object..."

Yan Ruifeng interrupted him: "In this operation, in an emergency, everything will be done in accordance with Mr. Sheng's instructions, with the national interest as the highest principle, and unconditional obedience, even at the expense of life."

Sheng Wuyu said: "So my spouse only needs to cooperate with me. He is a civilian. He has no responsibility or obligation to obey anyone's orders. On the contrary, since my wife has formally requested Captain Yan to replace him, Captain Yan What is the official answer? I need an official answer."

Cheng Yuan's face changed slightly, and Yan Ruifeng was taken aback by Sheng Wuyu's gaze, so he had no choice but to answer seriously: "We hope that Mr. Sheng can also mediate and resolve the misunderstanding. We can formally apologize to Mr. Xuan. Vice Captain Cheng has been in our team for many years. , Familiar with the personality and ability of each personnel, and he is also in charge of this action plan. Temporary replacement is indeed difficult. I also hope that Mr. Sheng and Mr. Xuan can trust our professionalism and will not affect our security work. Regarding Vice Captain Cheng’s mistake this time, we will record it truthfully and will punish Vice Captain Cheng accordingly.”

Sheng Wuyu lowered his face: "There is no need to punish, and I don't want to be charged with such crimes for punishing an officer who did nothing wrong for my lover. But my request is the same as that of my lover, and I request to be replaced immediately." Vice-captain Cheng, I don't care how your work is handed over, starting tomorrow, I will not allow this vice-captain Cheng to appear in the entourage, and at the same time I do not agree with the captain to participate in this operation in any form."

Cheng Yuan was shocked and said: "Mr. Sheng, I thought you should put the task first and don't make such an emotional decision. Where can I replace someone who is more suitable than me at this time? If Mr. Xuan is really dissatisfied with me, I will It is possible that any subsequent actions will not appear in front of his eyes." He was a little angry and emotional.

Sheng Wuyu said indifferently: "It's not emotional, it's based on rational analysis. Vice-captain Cheng is responsible for the arrangement and refinement of all program activities. We will live together in Jialan Country for a long time and face many arduous tasks. and risk. You all know how risky this mission is, but since Vice Captain Cheng has had conflicts with my wife at the beginning, how can you ensure that my wife's life is the first priority when encountering danger in the future? How can I cooperate seamlessly with you when I have concerns in my heart?"

Cheng Yuan said: "Mr. Sheng must trust our profession."

Sheng Wuyu shook his head: "But my wife and I no longer trust you, how dare we entrust our safety to you? Let me emphasize again, this is not to deny you personally, but to respect our mission."

He looked at Yan Ruifeng: "Before we left, we all signed our wills, and we were all prepared to dedicate ourselves to our country, but my lover voluntarily accompanied me to go abroad because he loved me. He is a commoner. When there is a problem, the priority is to ensure the safety of civilians, that is, the safety of my lover. The above agrees."

Yan Ruifeng said: "Yes, we will replace the vice-captain. I'm sorry that we didn't arrange it properly."

Cheng Yuan's face turned pale.

Sheng Wuyu nodded: "That's it for now - besides, Captain Yan still owes my wife an apology, don't forget." He drove the wheelchair and left the study.

After Sheng Wuyu left, Cheng Yuan stood up and said expressionlessly, "I'll go and apologize to Xuan Xiaodong."

Yan Ruifeng said: "No need, just follow the decision just now. You will hand over your work immediately and withdraw from this operation. I will make it clear to the department and arrange for you to change jobs immediately and enter the declassification period. Don't worry, it will not affect your future."

Cheng Yuan looked at him in disbelief: "Just because of Xuan Xiaodong's angry words?"

Yan Ruifeng looked at him: "Sheng Wuyu's reason is very good, you don't have to go to Xuan Xiaodong anymore, you will only add fuel to the fire if you go again. Cheng Yuan, you really have a prejudice against Xuan Xiaodong. He retired alone Bing Wang, he has made meritorious deeds and shed blood, I don't think there is any high ground for him to marry Sheng Wuyu, you really look down on him, and it is foreseeable that you will not put his safety first."

"The addition of Xuan Xiaodong in this mission is a very beneficial factor for us. Sheng Wuyu trusts him very much. Xuan Xiaodong always acts on instinct when he acts. He is very keen. He proposed a substitution, obviously because he already knows you. In the next action, it will be a discordant factor, which will affect the action. In addition, the center of our action this time is Sheng Wuyu. He asked for a replacement, and we must respect it. You pack your things and hand over immediately. I will arrange Xiaoyan will take over the work in your hands first."

Cheng Yuan stood still, and after a while he was still a little unwilling: "Captain, as long as you disagree, Sheng Wuyu still has to respect your opinion. I'll go and apologize to Sheng Wuyu."

Yan Ruifeng shook his head: "Do you want our entire team to be replaced?"

Cheng Yuan looked up at Yan Ruifeng, the light in his eyes went out, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go and explain."

When he thought that Yan Ruifeng was about to get along with Xuan Xiaodong day and night, the jealousy had already gone to his head. He endured and endured, but he couldn't hold it back: "Captain, you are afraid that Sheng Wuyu will find out about the past, and even you will change together." Alright."

Yan Ruifeng said coldly: "Your emotionality has seriously affected your state, Cheng Yuan! You are no longer suitable for performing tasks, execute orders immediately!"

Cheng Yuan's eyes turned red and he walked out of the study.
