The original plan was for Shengtian to get the list and investigate again, but not long after Li Nanke left the prison, Niu Daru sent someone to look for him.
Li Nanke had no choice but to go to the other party's office in the rain.
In the room, Niu Daru threw a dry towel to Li Nanke and motioned for him to wipe his face, "The weather in Yuncheng is so changeable. It snows sometimes and rains sometimes."
"No amount of change can compare to the human heart."
Li Nanke wiped the water stains on his face and smiled.
Niu Daru raised his eyebrows, "Who are you kidding again?"
"No, it's just a matter of emotion." Li Nanke put the towel on the shelf. Seeing that the water in the teacup in front of Niu Daru was empty, he took the initiative to pick up the teapot and fill it up.
Niu Daru looked at the tea swirling in the cup and asked, "How was the interrogation?"
"Mrs. Li hired me, but Li Donghai didn't say anything."
Li Nanke reported truthfully.
"Guessed it." Niu Daru looked melancholy, "This Li Donghai is very shrewd. You can't pry out any useful clues from him."
"It is estimated that he will be able to go out in two days at most."
Li Nanke said.
Niu Daru was startled and looked at the other person thoughtfully, "Why, do you think the people behind him will protect him?"
"I don't know. Director Niu should know better than me."
"Oh, you really started to hate me."
Niu Daru laughed, took off his left eye patch and wiped it and said, "I really don't know how many connections that guy has made in the capital. He is probably better than me. But since he is so determined, he will probably issue an official document from above soon."
."
Li Nanke looked at him and said nothing.
Niu Daru put on the eye mask, blew the tea gently and said calmly: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't look at me like that. I don't have a daughter for you to cause trouble to."
"Is the Night Patrol Division still saved?"
Li Nanke asked bluntly, his eyes fixed on the senior official of the Night Patrol Department in front of him.
Niu Daru didn't speak, he stood up and opened the window.
The cold wind carrying rain moisture immediately poured into the small room, blowing several papers on the table and flying around.
Li Nanke quickly grabbed the flying papers, stacked them up, and pressed them down with an inkstone.
"The storm is coming, no matter how rotten the roots are, we have to carry them."
Niu Daru's voice seemed to have been stirred by wet rain and cold wind, low and cold, "When you ask this question, first go and see how many people have died in the Night Patrol Department since its establishment."
"Is it worth dying?" Li Nanke asked rhetorically.
Niu Daru's eyes fell into the rain, "It's not up to you to decide whether it's worth it or not."
"Then who has the final say?"
"..." Niu Daru moved his lips but made no sound.
Maybe he couldn't answer.
Li Nanke regained his aggressive momentum and asked softly: "I just want to know, is there anyone in the Night Patrol Department who sincerely does what he should do?"
"Isn't it Nannan?"
"She is just a flower protected in a greenhouse and does not understand the truth."
"Then what do you think the truth is?"
Niu Daru turned around and stared at Li Nanke coldly, "Are we all greedy for glory and wealth? We all don't want the 'Red Rain' to disappear, and we don't want the monsters to disappear?"
"As expected, you still sent someone to eavesdrop."
Li Nanke sneered.
Niu Daru did not deny it, "I just don't want the situation to get out of control. If Lao Leng were here, he would do the same thing."
"So if Yu Shengtian can't find the list, you have already sent someone to get it first."
The corners of Li Nanke's lips raised in mockery.
Niu Daru was silent.
Silence represents acquiescence.
That list is very important. If it is not handled well, trouble will ensue.
For a long time, Niu Daru said with half appreciation and half regret: "Li Nanke, it's a pity that you didn't meet the good period of the Night Patrol Division, otherwise you would have done great things."
"The results are the same."
"...It's exactly the same."
Niu Daru turned around and closed the window gently, with an indescribable desolation and helplessness in his tone, "If the Supreme Emperor had been more decisive back then, we wouldn't have ended up in this situation now.
Now the Empress wants to rectify and reform, but she is having a hard time and repeatedly hits the wall. Oh, if the Night Watch Division wants to survive, it can only keep the 'Red Rain' existing."
Li Nanke said: "So you also think there is no hope?"
"Li Nanke, people who are too smart sometimes become arrogant."
Niu Daru said with a serious expression, "You can think that today's Night Patrol Division is like soup mixed with a lot of rat droppings, but you cannot directly characterize this pot of soup as poison.
You think Nannan works so hard because she doesn't understand the truth. But let me tell you, even if she knows, she will try her best to do everything well!
Among all the night patrol divisions in the world, there are many people like Nan Nan, including in the capital. Otherwise, why do you think Leng Siyuan was protected?
Just because some people are greedy doesn't mean everyone is greedy.
Just because some people are reluctant to give up power does not mean that others are the same.
The Night Patrol Division is different from the Shadow Guard, because the people who enter it are all trying to protect the people at the beginning. With this original intention, how bad can they become no matter how bad they are?"
After listening to Niu Daru's words, Li Nanke was speechless for a moment.
Although he knew that Niu Daru's comfort was somewhat idealistic like chicken soup for the soul, it was heartwarming after all.
At least there is light in the darkness.
"Okay, I won't say any more empty words."
Niu Daru took out a folded piece of paper and handed it to Li Nanke, "Here are some plans for the day after tomorrow. Take it and take a look first.
I plan to let people from the Suzaku and Xuanwu tribes participate. Of course, not all members, but only a few who are trustworthy. If I am not here, you will take charge.
Again, pay attention to the information screening, the information Lao Lengnei should give may not be true."
"clear."
Li Nanke nodded.
Before leaving, Niu Daru suddenly said: "I know you don't care about fame and fortune, and you may leave the Night Patrol Division. But I hope you won't give it up."
Li Nanke did not respond and walked out of the room.
…………
Back at the Suzaku Department, Li Nanke went straight to the woman's office cabin.
When he pushed the door open and walked in, he saw Leng Xinnan wiping his wet hair with a towel. His clothes were a little wet from the rain, and his fair and delicate cheeks were stained with raindrops.
"Are you going outside to enjoy the rain?"
Li Nanke joked.
Leng Xinnan rolled her eyes angrily, "I went out to do some errands, but it rained on the way. I just came back."
"What to do?"
Li Nanke took the towel from the woman's hand and wiped her hair.
Feeling the man's thoughtfulness, Leng Xinnan's beautiful eyes were filled with tenderness. She rolled her eyes and pretended to be serious: "The matchmaker told me about my marriage and took me to meet the other party."
"Oh, that's really congratulations."
Li Nanke had no expression on his face.
Leng Xinnan, who had planned to see the man jealous, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she saw this, and muttered: "Even if you know I'm joking, you should give me some reaction."
As soon as she finished speaking, the man's skirt was untied.
The woman was startled, blushed and backed away, "What are you doing?"
"You're already wet."
Li Nanke said helplessly, "Change out of your clothes, otherwise you will catch the cold."
Leng Xinnan realized that she had misunderstood the other party and said calmly: "I have asked the little rabbit to get dry clothes. I can just change them myself."
"Obey, there's no one else here, take off your clothes early to avoid catching a cold."
Li Nanke casually pulled off a piece of window covering and said, "Let's make do with this first. Come, come, I'll take it off for you."
"Don't--"
With a "chila" sound, the woman's clothes were torn apart.
