Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

"Why are you here, awake so late at night?" Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"Nothing, just a little confused."

An Lan turned on the lamp on the desk and reached out to move the charcoal fire covered with ash.

"Your mission is over, why don't you go back?" Lin Shaowen chuckled, "I didn't expect... Xu Shen actually got you to the Seventh Office."

"No, I'm not from the Seventh Office." An Lan said seriously, "If you must count... I'm at most an extra-staff member."

"What did he threaten you with?" Lin Shaowen restrained his smile.

"You didn't threaten me with anything."

An Lan sighed, "My father made some mistakes when he was young... Xu Shen let him go, so I'm grateful to him and do him a favor."

"Wow, this is strange."

Lin Shaowen joked, "I know who Xu Shen is... Even if one day, if I make a principled mistake, he will never be stingy with bullets. He actually let your father go?"

"It can be regarded as protecting my father." An Lan smiled bitterly.

"That's reasonable."

Lin Shaowen shook his head and said, "When the storm started, many people's mistakes were infinitely magnified... Xu Shen, the old man, has a good conscience."

"When did you guess my identity?" An Lan smiled.

"I knew it when I first met you."

Lin Shaowen shrugged and said, "What is his identity as Minister Guan? His secretary is replaced by my secretary? The level is much worse... And I know his character very well, it is impossible for him to be equipped with a secretary of the opposite sex."

It is not allowed to be equipped with secretaries of the opposite sex, although it is clearly stipulated.

But this aspect is not implemented very well. After all, not everyone finds a secretary who is so likable, right? Especially for middle and low-level cadres, it is good to have a secretary, how can they be picky?

An Lan looked at him, hesitant to speak.

"Are you trying to say that there is someone watching me at home besides you?" Lin Shaowen chuckled.

"Yes."

An Lan smiled bitterly, "Many things at home were passed on by her... but I don't know who it is."

"Ran Qiuye." Lin Shaowen sighed.

"Ah? Ran Qiuye?"

This surprised An Lan a little.

Ran Qiuye has been with Lin Shaowen for more than ten years, right?

"She was found by the Seventh Department a long time ago." Lin Shaowen shook his head and said, "After I was with her, many things about me... the Seventh Department knew everything clearly. At that time, I knew that she was working for the Seventh Department."

"Then why did you keep her?" An Lan frowned.

"Do you know why the Seventh Department sent you?" Lin Shaowen said faintly.

"Hmm."

An Lan was slightly stunned, "Could it be that Ran Qiuye...she won't pass on information to the Seventh Department?"

"No."

Lin Shaowen shook his head and said, "Because the Seventh Department is not sure how many connections I have abroad...and Ran Qiuye is also deliberately protecting me, so she is ambiguous about many news."

The things he took out seemed very reasonable.

But in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can think of it at a glance. Televisions, refrigerators, etc. are scarce materials now, but he had already used them ten years ago.

The Seventh Department is not stupid, and will definitely investigate.

"Since you know, you should drive us away." An Lan sighed.

"If you are not deaf and dumb, you will not be a patriarch."

Lin Shaowen chuckled, "Do you know what the bottom line is for me from above?"

"As long as you don't betray your country and surrender to the enemy, everything else can be tolerated." An Lan said seriously.

"That's right."

Lin Shaowen pointed at Sijiu City and said, "Believe it or not... As long as I leave the scope of Sijiu City, someone will immediately catch me back, and the reason is very sufficient. They are afraid that Lou Xiaoe will kidnap me."

"Sure enough, everyone still underestimates you." An Lan suddenly laughed, "Xu Shen said that you are a playboy... Let me be mentally prepared, but we have been together for so long, I found that you don't care about this kind of thing at all."

"Perhaps since the time of Ran Qiuye, you and Qichu have been testing each other, so you look for it room by room, wanting to see where Qichu's bottom line is."

"Wrong."

Lin Shaowen chuckled, "That's not the case at all... I have many women now, that's because of the indulgence of Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru. Sometimes, if I don't take the initiative to look for them, they will also arrange it for me."

"For example, you now, they should be wondering where we are."

"Why is that?" An Lan asked curiously.

"Because... in their hearts, only Lou Xiao'e is my original wife." Lin Shaowen sighed, "They are afraid that I will follow Lou Xiao'e one day, so they try to let me have more women to tie me down."

"Everyone has so many thoughts, how do you live?"An Lan was surprised.

"If you don't worry about such things, won't you just get on with your life?" Lin Shaowen joked, "I don't care about anything at home... They can do whatever they want, and won't everyone live happily?"

"That's right."

An Lan smiled bitterly, "Living with you is really comfortable..."

She has been in Siheyuan for so long, and her life is really easy.

Every day, she goes to work, cooks after work, and goes shopping with Qin Jingru and others when she is free. There is nothing to worry about.

"Go to bed, don't think about these things." Lin Shaowen smiled, "You are about the same age as Gu Huaiwei, right? Find someone to marry. If you like to move up, learn from Zhang Xiaoyu, and if you don't like to move up, learn from Yu Haitang. "

Knock, knock, knock!

There was a knock on the door.

"Who?" An Lan asked.

"Ran Qiuye. "

A choking sound came from outside the door.

After An Lan got up and opened the door, Ran Qiuye rushed into Lin Shaowen's arms and sobbed softly.

After Lin Shaowen motioned An Lan to close the door, he chuckled and said, "I didn't blame you... Why are you crying?"

"Shao Wen, I..."

Ran Qiuye cried even harder after hearing this.

"Don't cry."

An Lan said seriously, "If someone comes later... I will drive you out of the yard."

Ran Qiuye trembled all over and immediately lowered her head to wipe her tears.

"It doesn't matter, I don't care."

Lin Shaowen smiled, "Speaking of which, I still have to thank you..."

"Ah?"

Ran Qiuye covered her mouth in surprise.

"What do you mean?" An Lan frowned.

"At least when you are at home, I will have some concerns and know what I should do and what I absolutely cannot do. "Lin Shaowen rubbed Ran Qiuye's head, "You didn't tell Xu Shen everything, right? At least... you didn't tell him about our basement."

"Shaowen."

Ran Qiuye hugged him and cried silently.

"How did Xu Shen find you?"

An Lan's words made Ran Qiuye stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head.

"Before I was with Shaowen, Xu Shen's subordinates found me... said they could help me go abroad, but they wanted me to do something for them."
