Lin’s father and son watched Ning Zhiheng leave. Lin Mucheng then curled the smile on his face, his eyes became calm, and he asked his father softly: “Ning Zhiheng is a hot figure in the Military Control Bureau. When did you get so close to you? Is there any inside story?”

Lin Mucheng is the eldest son that Lin Zhen values ​​the most. Lin Zhen often provides face-to-face guidance on his behavior, military and political affairs, and does not hide many things from him, so he asked him bluntly.

Lin Zhen nodded, turned around and walked back, whispering as he walked: "Zhiheng is not simple. He is a young man and is already a representative figure of the intelligence department of our Baoding department. It goes without saying that his future will be. I am also thinking about you and preparing for the future. I will definitely be able to help you in the future!"

Lin Mucheng followed behind him, but he didn't believe his father's words. He knew that his father's attitude had always changed so much. He couldn't help but ask strangely: "Your attitude was not like this before. With your status, you still need to win over a junior. Do those people from the Military Intelligence Bureau dare to make your decision?"

"Damn it!" Lin Zhen said in a deep voice.

"In the past, I held military power, and some people had guns, so I was naturally not afraid of those hidden arrows hurting people. But now? I was stolen to support myself and thought I had the glory of the past? If there wasn't the Baoding clan behind me, if my former disciples were still in the army, who would have taken it seriously, I was a lieutenant general?"

Lin Zhen said this and couldn't help but feel sad. The battle with Ning Zhiheng face to face two days ago completely alerted him. Now he is no longer able to withstand a huge storm. When the disaster comes, he is helpless. Finally, he has to speak up and ask a junior to protect him. The self-sustainment and arrogance he used to have no confidence.

In fact, I thought to myself that there is such a junior who is hiding in the dark and holding the power of the intelligence department. At least there is no need to worry about the ice snatches and cold arrows from the dark in the future. This is also one of the reasons why his attitude towards Ning Zhiheng has undergone a huge change.

Lin Zhen continued: "Things in the world are unpredictable. Who can tell the things in the officialdom accurately? I have figured it out. You will have a long life in the future. Maybe you will be plotted against him and you will be useful when someone plots. Besides, Zhiheng is a good person in the Military Bureau. At least he has been dealing with the Japanese for many years. He has not attacked his own people and is reliable. It is not harmful to get close to you. Don't waste my efforts!"

Lin Mucheng is not a fool either. He has been practicing for a long time over the years and knows the importance of it. Seeing his father painstakingly designing the way for him, he is not good to say anything else, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, I understand, I will make good friends with him these days."

At sunset the next day, Lin Mucheng drove to Jinxiu Tower, which is a restaurant in the southern part of the Yuzhong Peninsula. It is across the river from the south bank and is quite famous in Chongqing.

As the main home, Ning Zhiheng was waiting at the door early. When he saw Lin Mucheng get out of the car, he stepped forward and smiled and said, "Brother Mucheng, I have been waiting for a long time."

Lin Mucheng also nodded and reached out to hold on to Ning Zhiheng. After a few polite greetings, he followed Ning Zhiheng into the restaurant and climbed the stairs.

This was the best time for the restaurant business. The first and second floors were crowded with noise, but when they reached the third floor, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Lin Mucheng looked around in surprise, but it was quiet. Except for two young men in Zhongshan suits guarding the stairs, there was no one else.

Ning Zhiheng smiled and explained: "You and I will gather together today, for fear of disturbing Yaxing, so I have to pack this floor. Brother Mu Cheng, you must drink a few more drinks today to have fun!"

When Lin Mucheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked. Ning Zhiheng's big move was so big that he had to make a floor for a meal.

He said helplessly: "Zhiheng, it's too much, it's just a simple meal. If you have such a big formation, you won't dare to agree to you in the future!"

Ning Zhiheng smiled and explained: "Haha, let's not be an example, I'm afraid that there are too many people and inconvenient words. Please let's talk in it!"

He turned around and ordered Zhao Jiang to have someone serve the food, and then led Lin Mucheng into a private room. The room was elegantly decorated. As soon as Lin Mucheng came in, his eyes lit up.

Ning Zhiheng pointed to the window and said, "This is the most suitable room for viewing the river in Jinxiu Building. I booked it early in the morning. Brother Mu Cheng, are you still satisfied?"

"You're still thoughtful!"

Lin Mucheng stepped to the window and looked out. He was immediately attracted by the scenery outside the window and could not help but nod and praise him secretly.

At this time, the sun is gradually setting at the top of the mountain. The Yangtze River surrounds the mountains on the south bank like a jade belt. Chongqing is full of fog, hidden in the mountains with vagueness, looming, and beautiful!

There are boats passing by on the river, with wooden boats paddling and large ferry steamboats. From time to time, a long sound of whistle sounds are heard, breaking through the silent sky. It can be said that the waves of the river are like mirrors, and the sky and water are the same color, which complement each other.

The quiet river water, the autumn wind blows into the window, making people feel a little cool and extra refreshing!

"Okay, it's a great scene! Zhiheng, I've stayed in Chongqing for a long time, but I have never had time to watch such a good river view, so you still know how to appreciate it!" Lin Mucheng exclaimed repeatedly.

Ning Zhiheng laughed and said, "Brother Mu Cheng is working hard on military affairs, and he is not interested in these things. He has time, but he is afraid he doesn't have the heart to appreciate it, so he missed it."

The two of them chatted for a few more times. The hotel guy brought up the exquisite dishes and quickly filled the table, especially the plate of stewed fish in the middle. It was golden in color, bright in ingredients, and the fragrant and delicious atmosphere spread out and lingered in the nose, making people salivate.

The two of them first raised their glasses and drank a cup. Ning Zhiheng raised their chopsticks and gave in and said, "This is the best fish stewed in Jinxiulou. They are the best Yangtze River carp. They use exquisite materials and have good heat. Come and try it!"

Lin Mucheng picked up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth, savored it carefully, and immediately felt the sudden deliciousness. The fish was elastic and chewy, and the spicy aroma was filled with a sweet fragrance, and the aftertaste was endless. He couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and exclaimed: "It's indeed a good craft. Zhiheng, you have a unique vision. I'm worth this trip!"

Both of them had a great appetite for a while, and they raised their glasses to invite each other and drank happily. After three rounds of wine, they stopped talking.

Ning Zhiheng put down his chopsticks, leaned on the back of the chair, and first said, "Brother Mucheng, I have always admired you very much. Although you came from a noble family, you don't have any habit of playing dandy. You have experienced it in the army early and started from the grassroots level. You have made real military achievements today. Since the full war started, you have participated in several major battles with the Japanese army. You are brave. Every time you mention you, you are proud of you. He is really proud of you!"

Lin Mucheng had already let go of his vigilance at this time. When he heard Ning Zhiheng's praise, he was full of smiles. Even if he could be praised by such a powerful junior, he couldn't help but be filled with joy.

He waved his hand modestly and smiled: "Zhiheng, you are too rewarding. When the country is in danger, alas! Unfortunately, the country is poor and the war is difficult. I came from a military family, so I can only fight to the battlefield with all my passion. It is also my intention to defend my country!"

Ning Zhiheng could hear it, Lin Mucheng's tone was sincere and there was no falsehood at all, and he couldn't help but nod. Lin Mucheng had made mistakes before, but after the war between China and Japan started, he did show his courage to fight against the enemy on the battlefield, and he was considered an excellent soldier.

If possible, Ning Zhiheng really doesn't want to expose his scar in person, but today he has no choice, and the hearts of people are the most difficult to guess. He cannot guarantee whether Lin Mucheng can still stick to his original intentions and not do anything that harms the country and nation under the threat of the Japanese in the future. You must know that with his status, if he really surrenders to the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable, and Ning Zhiheng dare not gamble!

So even without the matter of senior brother, he would not leave this uncertain hidden danger. Things must be stopped. He must showdown with Lin Mucheng today and dispel Lin Mucheng's worries to avoid the tragedy of the pain of his relatives and the happiness of his enemies in the future.

Thinking of this, he stood up, walked to the window, looked at the setting sun, and after a while, he turned to Lin Mucheng and slowly spoke: "Brother Mucheng, to be honest, my words just now were not polite words. I know you very well, and before today, I have conducted a very detailed investigation on you. The results of the investigation show that you can indeed be called an outstanding soldier who is loyal and patriotic."

Speaking of this, Ning Zhiheng sighed again, his tone was extremely deep, and he asked word by word: "But I really don't understand, how could a person like you be a Japanese spy?"

Ning Zhiheng's words were like a bolt from the blue. As soon as he said, Lin Mucheng was struck by lightning. The wine glass slanted and almost lost his hand. The wine in the glass immediately spilled out and a piece of it splashed.

Lin Mucheng never expected that Ning Zhiheng, who had just drunk and talked with him, suddenly spoke a shocking word. Even though he was a calm person, he was suddenly called out by someone and was also frightened and uneasy. For a moment, he was shocked and at a loss and showed his behavior of losing his composure.

"you…"

Lin Mucheng's psychological quality is still good. When he was anxious, he quickly forced himself to calm down, his face returned to normal, and he smiled reluctantly: "Zhiheng, what are you talking about? I tell you, this joke is not easy to make, it is not funny at all."

"I hope it's a joke too!" Ning Zhiheng's eyes became sharp and he stared at Lin Mucheng tightly.

"It's a pity! Brother Mu Cheng, maybe you are still lucky, thinking I'm talking nonsense, thinking I'm testing you, but this is indeed an indisputable fact. In fact, I have been hiding this secret for you for three years. To this day, I really don't want to hide it anymore. For three years, I have been looking for such an opportunity to talk to you openly, but by chance, I'm delaying it to this day. I think you also need such an opportunity to explain the matter to me clearly, right?"
