Bai Suye's breathing was tense.
That day, she wanted to hide from Night Owl because she was worried about being discovered by the National Security Bureau. But in the end...
"Right now, our international situation is already very tense, and we can't delay any longer. The matter of Ferens must be put on the agenda immediately. I just discussed it with several generals, and we all agree that the only way to achieve this is to get close to Night Owl and use Night Owl as a breakthrough point!"
Bai Suye smiled and looked straight at the director, "You mean, you want to send me to approach Night Owl again?"
The director nodded without comment, "Given your position in Night Owl's heart, it will not be difficult to regain his trust."
"Of course, we also know that you have been greatly traumatized physically and mentally after what happened ten years ago. But..." One of the generals continued, "Minister Bai, now is a critical moment for the country. Every citizen has the duty and obligation to stand up, not to mention us. We have sacrificed too many people for the arms contract in Ferens' hands. I hope that this time, you can still put aside your personal feelings for the sake of the country. Of course, I believe that Minister Bai can do it. After all, once the war breaks out, every citizen of our country S will suffer. The loss of lives is definitely not the result that Minister Bai wants to see."
This is a heavy responsibility.
She had been in the army since she was a child, and the education and influence she received were to defend the country's sovereignty to the death. In this position, she would never shirk her responsibility. How could the love between men and women be compared with the safety of the country and the people? In the face of major issues, even her own life was not worth mentioning!
only…
"Director, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding." Bai Suye finally spoke. She tried her best to endure the complex emotions surging in her chest and forced herself to remain calm and composed, not showing any guilty conscience.
"I did see Night Owl, and it was indeed his people who brought me there. However, he didn't just want to see me, but - he wanted to kill me." She paused here.
At this point, she paused.
It seemed that because others were suspicious, she did not hesitate to unbutton two of her shirts and remove the gauze on her shoulders. The wound was healing, but it was still very hideous.
"Ye Xiao suspected that I was related to the wiretapping incident, so he asked his men to take me there. He personally inflicted this gunshot wound on me. And this..." Bai Suye also took off the gauze on his finger, "This finger of mine was also broken by him."
"If he hadn't been badly hurt and was a little afraid of the National Security Agency and the Presidential Office, I don't think I would have survived to walk out of his place today."
"Under such circumstances, do you think I can still get close to Night Owl?" Bai Suye looked around at everyone. "Night Owl is very smart. He has been fooled once and will never allow himself to be fooled a second time. If I get close to him again, it would be like a moth to a flame, but it would be a waste of everyone's time and energy. I think, instead of focusing on me, it would be better to think of other ways to deal with Ferrance. What do you think?"
The director and the other generals looked at each other, and things seemed to be getting tricky. The injuries on her body were not fake. It seemed that Night Owl had no mercy on her either.
The director asked again to confirm: "Are you and Night Owl really so hostile now?"
"As you saw with your own eyes." Bai Suye looked at him without the slightest flicker.
The director's expression became more and more solemn. After a long pause, he finally waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go out. Go and take good care of your wound to prevent infection. We will discuss today's proposal later."
Bai Suye straightened his clothes, stood up, saluted, and prepared to go out. However, when he reached the door, he remembered something, turned around, and looked at the director, "Director, this time the eavesdropping on Night Owl..."
"This is the business of the Special Operations Group. If you are not involved, you are not qualified to know - this is the rule. Of course, if you want to participate, we welcome you."
That's indeed the rule.
Bai Suye didn't ask any more questions, closed the door and walked out.
She stood at the door for a moment, then looked down at the wound on her shoulder, her mind a little dazed. She was suddenly very glad that Night Owl had given her this gunshot wound. If she walked out of his territory unscathed, she would be truly unable to explain herself.
Calculate the Night Owl again...
She thought, she really... couldn't do it anymore...
These ten years of torture are enough...
However, the director and his men are also shrewd people, so how could they give up on her so easily
Bai Suye sighed deeply.
Now, it seems that all she can do is to stay as far away from him as possible...
The more incompatible their relationship is, the more likely it is that the director will give up this idea.
… … … … … …
Afterwards, Bai Suye's injury had completely healed. The director personally gave her scar-removing medicine, and in the end, there really was no scar on her shoulder at all. It was as if nothing had ever happened. However, in her dreams at midnight, she still clearly remembered that day when Ye Xiao held her in his arms, and asked her in a confused state, "Su Su, does it still hurt?"
Whenever I think of it, my heart aches.
It was like my heart was dug out and thrown into formalin, soaking until it swelled...
When the phone rang, she was staring at the instant noodles in the refrigerator. Eating too much instant noodles would hurt the stomach, but she was alone and really didn't want to cook.
The person who called was Yunchuan's mother.
"Susu, you haven't eaten yet?"
"not yet."
"That's perfect. Yunchuan will pick you up now, come to our house for dinner."
Go to the Yun family
Have dinner with his parents
Bai Suye subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before she could open her mouth, Yunmu said with a smile: "Don't refuse. Last time at the birthday party, you were the only one who didn't eat with us two old people. Do you think you should make up for it this time?"
It seemed that she had no reason to refuse.
The next moment, Yunchuan answered the phone, "Susu, my mom is just joking with you, don't take it seriously. But... we really hope you can come over for dinner."
Bai Suye did not refuse, "Okay. Should I drive over, or can you come pick me up?"
Yun Chuan's voice suddenly became much clearer. "I'll be leaving right away. Just wait for me."
"good."
Bai Suye didn't say anything more and went into the room to change clothes.
She thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to go out for a walk and get some fresh air. If she continued to be depressed, she was afraid that she would become depressed and sick again, just like she was ten years ago.
Now, every night, she almost has to take sleeping pills to fall asleep. This is a very bad thing.
have no idea…
Night Owl, are you sleeping well now
