If anyone around you gets hurt again because of my failure to report my knowledge, you will probably never answer my call again for the rest of your life.
He smiled bitterly and even forgot to smoke the cigarette held between his fingers.
Fang Susu is right.
Lin Ze is not a generous man, at least not as generous as Lin Tianwang. He cannot allow people close to him to be harmed. Even if Fang Susu does not need to bear much responsibility for this matter, in Lin Ze's view, his Dissatisfaction and anger can only be vented on her.
This is not fair to Fang Susu.
She wants Xiao Hei to die.
She is willing to put her few friends at risk.
She could not bear to let Xiao Hei, who had been depressed for several years and finally got out of the predicament, carry out this extremely dangerous task.
No.
She doesn't want to.
She didn't want to do that at all.
But some things have to be done by someone. This is the cruel reality.
From a certain perspective, Fang Susu is more mature than Lin Ze, more rational than him, and even more reasonable than him.
In many ways, Lin Ze is simply a child who has not grown up.
It's too easy to be emotional and too unable to control one's emotions.
Snap.
Lin Ze refilled a cigarette and took a deep drag. His eyes fell erratically on Fang Susu's increasingly mature cheeks. After a long time, he blew out a puff of thick smoke and said bitterly: "Maybe, I shouldn't do this to you."
"You are right." Fang Susu shook her head slightly, her voice slightly hoarse, "I am also very sad about his passing, let alone you."
Some things have to be done by someone.
And some anger has to be endured by someone.
Fang Susu was willing to bear Lin Ze's indignation and anger. This was the only thing she could do for Lin Ze.
"Xiao Hei actually didn't really get out of the predicament." Lin Ze flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said sadly, "He has never forgotten Qian Qian. Even if he comes back to the world and carries out your extremely dangerous mission, he will never forget that My beloved woman, maybe he is willing to perform this task because he wants to be freed."
Lin Ze's smile became increasingly bitter and he couldn't help himself.
Xiao Hei was Lin Ze's brother, and even more so his partner. He had silently sacrificed too much for Lin Ze without asking for anything in return, until in the end, he gave his life for Lin Ze.
If Lin Ze hadn't been the bodyguard of the Han family, would Xiao Hei know that he was in a desperate situation and help Han Xiaobao?
Lin Ze didn't know, maybe, maybe not, but because of the relationship between Han Xiaobao and Lin Ze, Xiao Hei took action and was brutally killed by Wan Hai.
"He is a good man." Fang Susu's eyes were a little blurry and she murmured, "Some time ago, he would come to Guoan from time to time to chat with me and have dinner with me."
Lin Ze was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Do you always like to make dirty jokes with you?"
"Apart from these, what else will he talk to me about?" Fang Susu also laughed softly.
"His life was bad, but he never felt sorry for himself like me. He was a man with a strong heart." Lin Ze's eyes turned slightly red.
During those days in England, without Xiao Hei's support and help, it would be difficult for Lin Ze to persevere. Now, when Xiao Hei needs him, he is not by his side.
Maybe, I was like Fang Susu just because I felt ashamed of Xiao Hei.
Lin Ze was unsure of his state of mind, but at this moment he could confirm that he should not put the responsibility on Fang Susu, she was just conveying the orders of her superiors.
"I've been here for a long time and you still haven't poured me a cup of tea or made a cup of coffee." Lin Ze changed the subject.
There are already too many difficulties in life, and Lin Ze does not want to sink into sorrow forever.
Fang Susu was startled, then stood up and made a cup of coffee for Lin Ze.
Coffee is instant. With Fang Susu's workaholic temperament, she cannot have the patience to grind coffee freshly. Even if it is instant, she often drinks it cold because she is too busy at work.
It was instant, but the aroma was still permeating the air. Lin Ze took a sip, leaned gently on the chair, and asked, "Is the old director's life pretty comfortable after retirement?"
"I usually drink tea, read the newspaper, occasionally play chess with my colleagues, and go out for a walk with the dog. It's quite leisurely." Fang Susu said with a hint of warmth on her face.
After working hard all his life, his father could finally live a leisurely life for a few years. As a daughter, Fang Susu couldn't be happy for her father.
"That's good." Lin Ze smiled and said, "When I have time, I will play chess with the old director and have dinner. By the way, has he finished drinking the box of Maotai I sent him before?"
"Don't give it away in the future." Fang Susu shook her head helplessly, "He is old, and he is usually a greedy drinker. He can't stop drinking when he sees good wine."
"Hahaha." Lin Ze laughed heartily, but felt a little bitter in his heart.
During his tenure, the old director had a clean and honest style. Except for the very close subordinates and old friends who gave him gifts, he would accept them. Regardless of whether others sent cards or generous gifts, he refused them one by one. When attending some gatherings, he also clearly requested that everything should be kept simple. , so for Moutai, a famous wine at state banquets that some village committee secretaries may even drink as water, the old director also regards it as a great enjoyment in life.
However, it is probably because of the old director's honest style that he has the leisurely retirement life he has now.
Some high-ranking officials who have made huge profits and riches in their jobs may have started sending their whole families across the ocean before they even retired. The wealthy life of being unaccompanied abroad is really not comparable to the well-off life at home.
At least the old director chose the latter, and lived a happy and comfortable life, eating well and sleeping well.
After chatting for a while about the retirement life of the old director, Lin Ze put out his cigarette and said, "What about you."
When Fang Susu heard the words, she fell into silence.
Others may not understand Lin Ze's question, but Fang Susu understands it clearly.
And you.
Naturally, the next question was about promotion.
During her tenure, Fang Susu had strong work ability and high efficiency. Her agents achieved outstanding results, which was an excellent aid for her promotion. In addition, Fang Susu's family was clean, and many senior leaders of the National Security Bureau were also promoted. Under the care of the old director, promotion was expected, but once promoted, Fang Susu's status would be completely different.
In the past, she was just a department-level leader in the intelligence system. Once all kinds of favorable conditions started to emerge, she would be able to jump up two levels and climb to a senior leadership position. Especially in a position of real power like her, which is more powerful than those in Yanjing. Senior cadres at the department and bureau level who have no power in their positions are still very impressive.
As soon as he thought of this section, Lin Ze felt a little dazed.
National Security Division-level leader, Fang Susu.
After putting these two things together, Lin Ze realized that this cold and charming female intelligence officer was already twenty-nine years old...
"If you want to call me old, you can be direct and don't beat around the bush." That year, Fang Susu was only twenty-three. Now, a woman of her age, even in a city in China where the age of marriage is generally high, is about to reach the age of 23. The fighter level is left.
Fang Susu sat up slightly, her clear and calm eyes fell on Lin Ze's face, and after some hesitation, she said, "The promotion documents have been submitted."
Lin Ze was stunned for a while, but then he expressed his understanding.
"I wish you success." Lin Ze smiled.
"Wish me success." Fang Susu raised her eyebrows slightly and said meaningfully.
Lin Ze was confused and said: "Didn't you submit the promotion documents? Of course I wish you a smooth promotion."
"I submitted the promotion documents for you." Fang Susu said seriously, "As expected, you will also be transferred to my department and become colleagues with me. After all, you have traveled to so many countries and have in-depth contact with agents from various countries. With you here, the work of the Intelligence Section will get better and better."
Lin Ze's expression was stiff, but looking at the narrow smile that appeared on Fang Susu's face, he smiled and said: "I have never seen such a dedicated boss like you. I succeeded, and I'll treat you to dinner."
"Eating is free." Fang Susu shook her head, "I still like to eat snacks from some cafe."
"Then it's such a happy decision."
The awkward and stiff atmosphere in the office was so lively at this moment.
