With Xu Jizhong's rank at the department level, he would definitely be considered a number one figure in the local area, but in Yanjing, the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, one or two terrifying guys with enough status to scare people would appear every minute. The city is really a painless existence,
But as the saying goes, if a fly cannot bite an egg, for him, if he can safely complete the security work for Elizabeth's visit to China, it will definitely be regarded as his lack of highlights. He will not be biased in his official career, and the road in the future will be broader and broader. flat,
So he saved up enough money and won this responsibility in a fierce fight. The heart of it is so bitter and difficult that outsiders can't explain it.
It is a pity that as soon as this burden, which is unlikely to cause serious problems, falls into his hands, dangers and dangers arise one after another, and murderous intent abounds. Elizabeth can smell the breath of danger and death, and Xu Jizhong, who is outside of it, is no less relaxed than his wife. , the fear is even worse,
This double-edged task that he worked so hard to win failed to bring any surprises to his career, but instead put him in a predicament that he couldn't extricate himself from.
As the top commander of the security system, the person in charge of the hotel he selected failed to adjust the defense system to the most perfect state. As a result, his wife was ambushed twice in three days and almost died on the rooftop. This was simply a heinous crime. Therefore, after the assassination operation that night was over, the person in charge, as Lin Ze said, was dismissed on the spot and investigated. If he met a political opponent who was not at odds with him, he might be charged with colluding with terrorists.
The person in charge of the hotel was severely investigated, and Xu Jizhong, as the supreme commander, did not suffer much either. Especially during the days when Lin Ze was in coma, he cried almost every day. If his boss had not benefited him a lot and helped him After shirking a lot of responsibilities and using connections to keep him, he was probably in the cold interrogation room drinking the orthodox bitter coffee that was too harsh to stomach and blowing the biting cold wind.
Xu Jizhong can now eat, smoke and drink safely. He knows that this is all due to his old boss's efforts to protect him. Of course, it is also due to the iron-blooded queen who did not pursue her head-on, but only used some small tricks. He had to make things difficult for him without hesitation, otherwise even if his immediate superior had a lot of skills, he would not be able to protect him.
But no matter what, he was extremely grateful to his immediate superiors. As soon as he said so, Xu Jizhong was willing to do his best. So when his old boss hinted that his son liked the daughter of the Xia family, he went to the Xia family as a lobbyist without hesitation, and even He didn't hesitate to break up with this relative, shouting and shouting,
For the sake of his official career and not to disappoint his leaders, Xu Jizhong believed that he was worthy.
But when he went to the Xia family to lobby and failed, he was also humiliated by a young man who rushed out rashly and even pointed out that he was Xia Shuzhu's boyfriend. How could Xu Jizhong not be half-assed?
He left the Xia family angrily and didn't even bother to go home. He ran directly to his work and made phone calls to contact some of the contacts he had accumulated over the years. After ensuring that these people would support him, he dialed the Xia family with a relaxed expression. phone number,
The person who answered the phone was Xia Qingyuan. At the moment, he was leaning on the sofa watching Peking Opera. The Farewell My Concubine was his favorite play. He could not see it in his current mood. He was smoking, meditating, and listening to the opera. The caller was Xu Jizhong, who couldn't help but said awkwardly: "Old Xu, we can still discuss this matter. You can come over when you find the time. We are all relatives. There is no need to make the relationship so tense."
"Relative." Xu Jizhong laughed mockingly, "When I was humiliated in your home, did you ever think that I was your relative? When I asked Xiaoxia to meet her, and you refused, did you ever think that we were still relatives? .”
"I,."
"Stop talking nonsense and let that guy answer the phone." Xu Jizhong shouted in a deep voice,
Xia Qingyuan wanted to say something more, but was coldly interrupted by Xu Jizhong. In desperation, he had no choice but to call Lin Ze who was cooking hard in the kitchen with his daughter.
Lin Ze wiped off the oil stains on his palms with his apron, took the phone with a smile on his face, and said, "Uncle Xu, you have something to do with me."
"Boy, I'll give you two choices. You can either get out of Xia's house right away, or I'll bring someone to arrest you." Xu Jizhong shouted without any room for maneuver, "I'll give you half a minute to think about it. If you don't choose, I'll help you." You choose.”
"You are such an old and disrespectful person." Lin Ze lit a cigarette in silence, took a deep breath and said calmly, "When the two armies are fighting, you should at least ask me my name, height, weight and measurements first. , if you just rashly play with me to gain connections, you won’t be afraid of floods destroying the Dragon King Temple.”
"Then I'll give you a chance to sign up for your name." Xu Jizhong said coldly,
"Lin Ze." Lin Ze puffed out a puff of smoke and spat out his name domineeringly. At this moment, he felt like he was possessed by the eldest daughter of the Han family. He recalled that last year, the eldest daughter of the Han family signed herself up outside the wealthy dance party. At that time, the guard who was as handsome as a duck immediately let him through, but when it was his turn,
Brother Xiao Lin once swore that one day, I would perform a wonderful show that would make the other party tremble all over just by signing up.
Now, after a few simple dialogues, he finally completed the much-anticipated show-off.
As expected, the cold and arrogant words in the microphone stopped abruptly, followed by a deathly silence.
After waiting for a full minute, Lin Ze saw that Xu Jizhong still didn't speak, and reminded him impatiently: "Uncle Xu, my half-minute consideration time has passed. You can make a choice for me now."
",." Xu Jizhong was so aggrieved that he almost hit the wall and died. His face turned green and red. He took a few deep breaths and asked uncertainly, "Are you really Lin Ze? Lin Ze, the agent of the National Security Bureau who has been reinstated to his original position."
"Are there many people using this name?" Lin Ze asked harmlessly,
",." There was another silence on the phone,
"Uncle Xu, have you made a choice for me?" Lin Ze asked with a half-smile,
"It's done, I'll be right over." After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
Lin Ze hung up the phone with a smile on his face. Seeing Xia Qingyuan staring at him blankly, he rubbed his nose unnaturally and said, "Uncle Xia, what's wrong with you?"
"It's done." Xia Qingyuan asked tentatively,
"Well, it's done." Lin Ze nodded,
"He's coming here." Xia Qingyuan asked in disbelief.
"Well, he is on his way over." Lin Ze continued to nod,
"I'm not here to cause trouble." Xia Qingyuan asked uneasily.
"No, I'm here to apologize." Lin Ze smiled calmly,
"Haha."
"I'm not worth a penny in front of Uncle Xia, but some people have done some bad things, so they will naturally feel guilty." Lin Ze poured sewage on Xu Jizhong's body with all his strength,
"Don't mention him anymore. Let's go to dinner. I'll have a drink with you." Xia Qingyuan grabbed Lin Ze's arm and said to the old woman who was setting out the food and drinks, "Go and get my bottle of Maotai. Today I want Drink to your heart’s content.”
The Xia family's mother and daughter couldn't understand why the head of the family, who was so depressed and full of thoughts just now, suddenly went crazy with joy. Especially when they saw Lin Ze being dragged to the restaurant, they were even more puzzled.
However, Xia Qingyuan felt comfortable, and the mother and daughter naturally no longer worried and worried. They set out the food and wine and sat down to eat.
Xia Qingyuan is not a narrow-minded man, but as the old saying goes, repay evil with kindness, why repay kindness with kindness?
He had long hated Xu Jizhong, who was hanging around in the officialdom but had basically no humanity. When he thought that this unscrupulous relative was shocked by Lin Ze's few words and might come to apologize in person, he felt refreshed and even drank a lot. Quite a few. He dragged Lin Ze to drink wine and drank half the bottle of Maotai in a short while.
Lin Ze's drinking capacity was astonishing, and it was not a big problem to finish the bottle in one go. However, Xia Qingyuan was an old man after all. After drinking four taels, Lin Ze hurriedly stopped Xia Qingyuan from pouring the wine, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Xia, let's Drink slowly, you have such a good capacity for drinking, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it for another round."
"What are you afraid of? It's not like I don't have a place to sleep at home." Xia Qingyuan patted his shoulder and said, "Come on, continue."
Lin Ze thought, am I a good person who is rewarded? He originally kindly advised Xia Qingyuan to drink less, but after asking for such an answer, he would have to pretend to be drunk even if he was 100 times energetic and full of energy later. Otherwise, why would he stay here overnight and make out with the beautiful teacher who rolled her charming eyes at him?
The two drank for another round, and Xia Qingyuan finally felt dizzy. Accompanied by Lin Ze, he ate a few bites of food and started cooking.
Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door. Xia Shuzhu went to open the door. When he saw that the person who came was indeed Xu Jizhong, he greeted him lukewarmly and invited him into the house.
"Mr. Lin, haha, I have flooded the Dragon King Temple this time. I can't see Mount Tai. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I almost caused unnecessary misunderstandings with you. I'm sorry." Xu Jizhong smiled. As he walked to the restaurant, he put on the dignity of an elder and said, "Xiao Xia, if you don't bring me a chair for uncle, I have to have a drink with Mr. Lin." After that, he placed two bottles of high-quality Maotai on the dining table.
"You can keep the wine, but you don't have to drink with me." Lin Ze put down the bowls and chopsticks and slowly lit a pipe, "I drink and watch people. Some people drink with me, but I can't drink."
"Yes, I was too abrupt." Xu Jizhong bowed and said, "Mr. Lin, you see this is indeed my fault. I apologize to you. If you have any dissatisfaction, just say it. I will not delay what I can do." .”
"It's not me you're sorry for. The person you should apologize to is Uncle Xia." Lin Ze said expressionlessly,
"Sure." Xu Jizhong expressed his sincere apology to Xia Qingyuan without saying a word, and then said to Lin Ze flatteringly, "Mr. Lin, you think this is enough."
"Well, go away, don't affect my appetite." Lin Ze waved his hand impatiently,
"Okay, please take it easy, Mr. Lin. I won't disturb you all." When Xia Qingyuan turned around, his smiling face quickly became distorted and had green teeth, like a kid who climbed up from hell, with a hateful face.
Lin Ze waited for him to turn around and go out, and he was still complaining: "Madam is right. Sure enough, any rich and powerful person who can be brought out at random will be a first-class actor with god-level acting skills."
