Beijing is a training academy set up by a confidential department in the western suburbs. It occupies a small area and is surrounded by tall red walls. The facilities on the playground are completely different from those of ordinary institutions of higher learning. Other colleges recruit outstanding students from high schools, but this special college recruits the best students from major colleges and universities.
On the podium, Second Sister Chen had spectacles on her nose. She wore a set of conservative, professional-style women's clothing. Even so, when the sun came in from the window and shone on her slender legs, it was still easy for the young people below to ignore her. Nearly sixty years old.
"During the Cold War, the former Soviet Union, the United States, and other possible countries used spies to the extreme to collect secret intelligence about core weapons, which gave rise to many new technologies. During these thirty years, the United States continued to improve its country's Espionage techniques are used to steal and control the intelligence of their so-called hostile parties. With the rapid development of modern technology, espionage techniques increasingly rely on the use of new technologies, such as sound wave collection technology, aerospace satellite technology, nanotechnology... "
Li Muye stood at the door of the classroom and listened carefully. Second Sister Chen noticed him without any expression. He persisted in finishing the class and said goodbye to the students step by step. Then he came to the door and said expressionlessly: "If you have anything to say, come to my office."
In the office.
"If you come to me to settle accounts, I'm here. As long as you have the courage to touch me, I'll do it." Second Sister Chen didn't have any shame in showing her son, and said coldly: "If you come to beg me, , I will also disappoint you, I will not compromise on the special task!"
"I went to the Foreign Affairs Bureau first, and they told me that you were giving lectures here, so I came over." Li Muye said, "I just returned to Beijing, and I just wanted to come and see you."
"Oh?" Second Sister Chen was stunned for a moment, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said, "I have something good to see. Have you seen it? Do you have anything else?"
Li Muye sighed and said, "I didn't originally, but now I suddenly remembered a few words and felt it necessary to tell you."
"You have something to say." Second Sister Chen lowered her head and carefully sorted out the teaching materials, then reached out to touch the flower glasses she had just taken off. Li Muye hurried over and picked up the spectacles and handed them to her.
"Why are you so opposed to me taking charge of the Special Operations Office? In terms of ability, am I worse than Huang Yonghao?"
"You're not bad. It's not an exaggeration to say you're stronger." Second Sister Chen put on her spectacles, looked at Brother Xiaoye seriously, and said, "But in my heart, even a freshman with average grades in this college is better than you." It's appropriate, for three reasons. First, you are a tycoon who lacks faith and bottom line; second, you are that man's son; third, you are Bai Wuxia's husband, and you are too deeply involved with political figures in the United States. Based on these three points, I will I can't give you 100% trust. In this industry, as long as there is 100% doubt, it is enough for me to remove you from that position."
"But Brother Ah Hui trusts me 100%. Haven't you ever thought about the reason?"
"A son is older than his mother, let alone a younger brother." Second Sister Chen said: "His opinion does not mean that it is 100% correct. I only respect my thirty-six years of experience and vision in this industry. From what I have seen, you can Doing this is definitely not for faith.”
"You are too arbitrary." Li Muye said: "Even if it is not entirely for your so-called belief, at least I am proud to be a Chinese."
"I didn't say you don't love this country, I said you lack faith." Second Sister Chen said seriously: "Li Muye, since you came to ask me, then I will talk to you about this issue of faith. You You were born in an era when your faith is constantly being weakened. In your life experience, most of the people you have encountered are selfish, evil and deceitful people. They have had a great impact on your life and made you grow into a treacherous person. Decisive tycoon, I cannot deny that you possess excellent observation talents and combat abilities, but as the director of the Special Operations Office, these alone are not enough."
She took a sip of water and continued: "The faith I am talking about does not mean that you have not joined any political party, but it refers to a determination to be absolutely loyal to a certain belief. People within the party may also be corrupted. Only true faith It is unshakable. Chen Binghui has this, but you don’t! The faith I am talking about refers to the determination to shed blood for the rise of this country and nation. In your heart, the first place in your heart will always be the people you care about. Family affection, loyalty, any emotional factors that are important to you may make you betray this belief, so I say you are a person without belief, do you understand?"
"Understood." Li Muye nodded calmly and said, "I can't deny that what you said makes sense, but I don't intend to make changes. You said that I have no faith. That's right, but that's not right either. My faith is family affection. Friendship and love, whoever treats me tenderly in this world, I will treat them with sincere love. I have lived in this country since I was a child, and these people who have cared about me and loved me are also in this country, so if I I can respect and love you, and of course I will respect and love this great country as much as you do.”
"No matter what you say, I can't trust you." Second Sister Chen remained unmoved and said coldly: "Because you are so shrewd that you can even be said to have become an immortal in this world. No matter what I want to hear, You can give me standard answers to everything, talk nonsense to others, and the methods that I can use that have been effective on those students outside don’t work with you, so how can you expect me to trust you?”
"Speak with the facts." Li Muye said: "I will not quit no matter what. You will have plenty of time to get to know me in the future."
Chen Miao suddenly put down the textbook in his hand and said solemnly: "Since you have said this, let me remind you one last time. For the sake of the South China Sea, I will not show mercy to you in the future. There was room for change before. My plan hasn’t started yet, but now, time is running out and I don’t have that much time to waste on you. If you become a stumbling block to my plan, I will kick you away without hesitation!”
Li Muye heard the same words from another person many years ago. Suddenly I remembered the words of my godmother Shi Zhenzhen, your family is like migratory birds in different parts of the world, destined to be separated.
"I try not to be a stumbling block for you. If I accidentally do it, I will try to correct it in time so as not to trip you up." Li Muye said with a smile: "Just like this time, you didn't kick me away. It shouldn’t have tripped you, right?”
"This time it was Bai Wuxia who helped you handle the case of looking for the Longmen Jianghu spies. With Chen Binghui's protection, you were able to get away with the crime. It won't be that easy next time." Second Sister Chen said in a calm tone: " Although life in the system is not as dangerous as Jianghu, from another perspective, it is even more difficult to get along than Jianghu, and you are still early."
"You don't have to worry about it." Li Muye smiled and said, "I always have a way to get through."
"Do you really think your crooked things will work?" Second Sister Chen smiled softly, took off her reading glasses, stood up and said, "I know you dug up Xunlongmen's base camp, and I also know you sent that old man to pass Chen Binghui to someone on your behalf. Someone gave you some things, but what you don’t know is that they took your things and donated them to the museum. Let me tell you this, in this system, all you can buy are worthless things. Really Whatever is valuable is priceless.”
Li Muye lowered his head, looking at his nose and heart. His heart was agitated, and he forced himself to calm down and said, "But this time I still kept the black gauze hat on my head."
"Hmph!" Second Sister Chen snorted coldly and said, "That's because you did the right thing, and also because there are some things that others can't do for you."
"Actually, what you did in this matter was quite unjust. I obviously made the mistake because of you. In the end, you took yourself out of office and reinstated yourself, but you turned against me and threw a big blame on me, which almost killed me. Get down."
"Isn't this of your own free will?"
"Have you never thought about why I am willing to do this?"
"I have thought about it before and done some testing. Unfortunately, you are too slippery. Since you are unwilling to say anything, I am too lazy to think about it now." Second Sister Chen said: "No matter what the reason is, you are already such a big person. If you are capable enough to make a decision, you should also be capable enough to bear the consequences.”
"It seems that from now on, my mother will only be able to ride on a donkey and read songbooks..."
"We'll see!" Chen Miao answered simply.
Li Muye looked at the time and asked, "When are you going to go home?"
Chen Miao said: "I have three classes here every month, and I have two classes scheduled for this morning."
Li Muye said: "Then I will go home and prepare meals."
Chen Miao hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, prepare meals for one more person."
"What? Are there guests?"
"An old classmate." Chen Miao said, "If you find it troublesome, I can eat out with him."
"No, it doesn't matter to me." Li Muye said goodbye and went out.
At 12 o'clock at noon, Chen Miao went home on time, and there was a middle-aged man who came back with him. He was slightly stout, with thick eyebrows, bright eyes, and quite majestic.
Li Muye recognized this big shot he had often seen on TV news at a glance.
The food is simple but not crude, and the four dishes and one soup are very delicately prepared.
When Chen Miao introduced Li Muye to this person at the dinner table, he said: "Old classmate, this is the kid I told you about. How about it? His skills are not bad." Then he said to Li Muye: "This one doesn't need it. I’ve introduced him, so you can call him third uncle.”
Li Muye greeted her as she ordered without saying a word.
The third uncle nodded with a smile and said: "I am returning to Beijing for a meeting this time, and my schedule is a bit tight. Today's lunch is a temporary situation, and I have no preparations."
Chen Miao took over the conversation and said, "Why are you so polite to me? Besides, my godson is not a child."
The third uncle said: "That's what I said, but as an elder, I have to express something when we meet for the first time..." Second Sister Chen declined a few words, but the man didn't insist.
At a family dinner, everyone had their own motives for eating, but the two elders were calm and composed, except Brother Xiaoye who was a little confused about Sister Chen's whereabouts.
This person made it clear that it was Second Sister Chen who deliberately brought him home to show him. Although she had distanced herself from this man politically, she still maintained an extraordinary personal relationship. This person returned to Beijing from the southeast for a meeting, which is most likely related to the upcoming important meeting on personnel changes. What is the deep meaning of Second Sister Chen inviting him to her home at this sensitive time? (End of chapter)
