"What difference does it make whether you say it or not? You already know it anyway."
Bai Lang looked at her and said, "Did you not sleep last night? There are red bloodshot eyes and dark circles under your eyes."
"My wound hurts, and I can't sleep." Bai Suye said calmly, pulling out a chair and sitting behind the desk. She turned on the computer and prepared to look at some of the surveillance data she had collected. She had to keep herself busy. At this moment, there was a knock on the office door, and then the secretary pushed the door open and came in, "Minister, the director said he has something to ask you to come over."
"Do you know what it is?" Bai Suye asked as he stood up.
The secretary shook his head. "No. But from the tone of the person on the phone, it's quite serious. You should be mentally prepared."
"Let's go take a look first."
Bai Suye put on his medals and straightened his uniform before going up to the top floor.
The atmosphere of the National Security Bureau has always been solemn and rigorous. When I got out of the elevator, the eagle logo was right in front of me. The director's secretary had already walked over gracefully, with her chest slightly hunched, "Minister, this way, please."
"Yeah." Bai Suye followed her into the director's office. The director's office was large, with French windows all around. The curtains were drawn, and the sun shone in, with a hint of warmth in the rigor.
The director was standing by the window with his back to her.
"Director!" She saluted and greeted.
The director then turned around and put out the cigarette in his hand. He looked at her and said, "I heard from Bai Lang that you had a head injury. What happened?"
"It's just a minor injury. I accidentally hit the back of my head, but it's fine now."
"Careless?" The director's eyes were meaningful. "Minister Bai, you don't look like such a careless person."
Bai Suye looked at him calmly, "Sometimes you fail."
"Since you are injured, don't stand. Sit down. I have something to tell you."
"Yeah." Bai Suye nodded and sat upright on the sofa. The director was sitting opposite her, looking at her for a long time before asking, "Are you in love recently?"
Bai Suye looked at him in confusion. This was a private matter. The director didn't seem like someone who would ask such a question.
The director took out a file bag from the side and pushed it in front of Bai Suye, "Take a look. This is the latest intelligence sent by my subordinates this morning. I need your explanation!
Bai Suye's breathing became slightly heavier.
She had a bad feeling.
However, he did not delay and took the document and took out the photos inside one by one.
as expected…
It was full of photos of her and Night Owl. Moreover, they were taken yesterday. From when Night Owl and she entered the house together, to when they went to the vegetable market later. People in the Intelligence Department were always rigorous and professional. They mixed in with the ordinary people, and it was difficult to detect them being followed and monitored.
"Our people were originally monitoring the Night Owl, but they didn't expect to photograph you. Su Ye, can you explain to me what the relationship between you two is now?"
The director's gaze grew slightly more serious at the end.
Bai Suye looked at the photos and didn't say anything immediately.
The director adjusted his sitting posture, his expression became more severe. "You should know that with your current status, unless it is for the purpose of executing a mission like ten years ago, you must never get so close to a dangerous person like Night Owl. I believe in you, you have always been my most capable subordinate, but this does not mean that everyone in the entire bureau is willing to believe you, and the people of the country are willing to believe you. Our National Security Bureau is not an ordinary organization. All intelligence is transmitted and output from here. We must ensure that there are no mistakes! Su Ye, if something happens to you in this link, you should know that this will not only affect you, but also have a fatal impact on the current President. I hope you will keep this firmly in mind!"
Bai Suye took a deep breath. Then, he slowly put the photo into the file bag. He raised his eyes and looked at the other person, "Thank you very much for trusting me, but I will never betray our National Security Bureau, betray S Country, and become a spy for Night Owl. As for me and Night Owl..."
At this point, Bai Suye paused for a moment before slowly saying, "I do feel guilty about what happened ten years ago, but we are no longer tied together. These photos will never appear again."
"Then I'll remember what you said." The director nodded slightly and looked at her meaningfully. "Ye Xiao is not a good person. Judging from the way he has oppressed You Ming for so many years, it can be seen that he has been brooding over what happened back then. If you feel any trouble, you can ask us for help."
"Thank you for your trouble, but he didn't kill me the first time he saw me. I don't think he will do anything to me either."
The director nodded, thinking that it made sense. If Night Owl wanted to kill her, he would not show mercy.
Bai Suye stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"Go ahead. Remember to take good care of your wound and find a good doctor."
"Um."
… … … … …
Bai Suye walked out of the director's office and returned to her own office. She felt depressed and a little breathless.
Bai Lang saw that she looked strange, so he followed her in and asked, "What's the matter with the director? Why do you look like this?"
"Ask the secretary to bring me a glass of water."
Bai Suye threw herself tiredly onto the sofa, tilting her head slightly to look at the blue sky outside the window.
She and Night Owl were like one in the sky and one on the ground; one in the day and one in the night. The distance between them was such that they could only look at each other from afar...
Bai Lang personally poured in some water. "Hurry up and drink a couple of sips. I poured you some warm water. You look so pale."
Bai Suye made a "hmm" sound and took a sip of water.
"Minister, did you read Nalan's Weibo today or something? You looked strange when you came here this morning." Bai Lang asked inquiringly.
Bai Suye paused while drinking water. "Why would I read her Weibo? Even if I look a little weird, it has nothing to do with her."
"That's the best. If you haven't seen it, then you don't have to watch it."
Bai Suyue glanced at Bailang, and in the end did not ask anything. He just waved his hand and let him go out.
Bai Lang left the office, and Bai Suye sat on the sofa and was distracted for a while. When he came back to his senses, he had already opened Weibo, and it was on Nalan's interface.
Nalan is not a person who likes to post on Weibo. The last time she posted on Weibo was on her birthday. But just this morning, she posted another Weibo.
The content of the Weibo post was still very brief, and it was still a rather pretentious statement.
—I hope you’re the first person I see when I open my eyes every morning.
