Chen Ran's senses were so sensitive that he noticed someone was staring at him, so he raised his head and looked over.
The people staring at him were two young men. It couldn't be said to be two young men. To be precise, it should be a young man and a young man who was probably less than twenty years old. The young man was leaning on a dry heart.
He was staring at him and smoking a cigarette on the poplar tree, while the young man standing next to him was holding a small and exquisite fruit knife and playing with it as skillfully as if he were playing magic.
These two people were the people brought by Mr. Hou to participate in the national security operation. Chen Ran noticed that when they were staring at him and looking over, he didn't pay attention at first, but after a few glances, he leaned against the tree trunk and smoked.
The young man who was smoking suddenly frowned.
If he guessed correctly, this young man turned out to be Huang Limin's cousin Liu Qing.
When he was invited by the National Security Bureau, Deputy Director Li of the Municipal National Security Bureau gave him information about this person.
The photo that Deputy Director Li gave Chen Ran was the photo on his ID card, which was very different from the person he was. In addition, it was at night last night, and this person was wearing a pair of sunglasses. Chen Ran
However, I didn't recognize it for a while.
Liu Qing, second-level police inspector, captain of the second team of the Special Service Action Team of the Ninth Bureau of the National Security Headquarters...
When Chen Ran looked over, the young man playing with the fruit knife saw Chen Ran looking at him as if he was deliberately provocative. Hearing a whoosh, the fruit knife in his hand disappeared. There was a burst of sound in the air, and with a snap, the fruit knife disappeared.
Then it penetrated deeply into the withered shaft five or six steps away on the left hand side of Chen Ran.
When the young man saw Chen Ran and looked over, he raised his lips in disdain. He shook his right hand slightly, and heard a popping sound before the fruit knife inserted into it exploded, and the fruit knife flew back to the young man's hand with a whooshing sound.
.
The young man who had done all this showed a cynical smile on his face, and the look in his eyes that looked at Chen Ran was a bit half-smiling, as if he was telling Chen Ran, do you see? I want it.
Your life is at your fingertips.
Liu Qing, who was leaning on the dry trunk and smoking, also had a slight sneer on his lips.
Chen Ran didn't know this young man. He took a look and found that the person who was related to Wang Qiang and Huang Limin in the information given to him by Deputy Director Li seemed to be Liu Qing. From beginning to end, he didn't know Deputy Director Li's son.
see.
Facing the young man's provocation, Chen Ran just snorted in his heart, but didn't say anything. Although he felt unhappy, he didn't want the other party to provoke him, so he just showed off his abilities. That was too childish.
It's not necessary. The more you don't get along with the other person, the more you have to hide your abilities.
Chen Ran ignored them. At this time, a slightly fat young man ran over from the place where they rested on the hill in the distance. When he ran to Chen Ran, he smiled at Chen Ran.
, but he did not stop and ran directly in front of Liu Qing and the young man.
The fat man ran in front of Liu Qing and the young man, looked back at Chen Ran, and when he saw that Chen Ran was not paying attention to them, he nodded with Liu Qing and the others and said, "Second brother, I asked."
Liu Qing, who was smoking, didn't move at all and just slowly threw the cigarette butt on the ground. However, the young man next to him suddenly became interested: "Whose person?"
"Zhang Yang, please keep your voice down." The fat man glared at the young man with dissatisfaction, and then looked at Liu Qing and said, "Second brother, there is a bit of trouble. This person was arranged to join the General Staff by General Yang Zhenjun, General Manager Yang. It is said that General Manager Yang is not interested in this."
He attaches great importance to people, so our President Hou sent people to capture this person, and General Manager Yang directly led his people to ask about the person our President wanted."
Mr. Hou naturally knew the relationship between Liu Qing and Huang Limin. Therefore, when he sent someone to invite Chen Ran over again, in order to avoid other accidents, Mr. Hou kept Liu Qing and Liu Qing's people together.
The people behind the palace sent other people to invite Chen Ran over. Therefore, Liu Qing and the others did not know about what happened at the national security stronghold at that time. They had already planned to wait until Chen Ran cracked Shui Jiawen.
They didn't plan to let Chen Ran go back, but who knew that when Chen Ran appeared in front of them, he turned out to be the captain of the General Staff and the person in charge of the General Staff's participation in this operation.
Before this, I had never had the chance to find out what was going on. Now that I had the chance, Liu Qing just asked Fatty to find other people to ask about this matter.
"Why is it that old man? This old man is so powerful right now." The young man named Zhang Yang was immediately surprised when he heard this. Even Liu Qing, who had been silent for the whole time, also frowned.
They were naturally familiar with the old man Yang Zhenjun. He used to be the top officer of the Second Department of the General Staff Department, their nemesis of National Security. Some time ago, it was said that the old man had some terminal illness and was almost scheduled to retire from the position of head of the Second Department. As long as this
After the old man stepped down from this position, even if he still had some influence in the second part, he was still a marginalized person. Who knew that the old man's terminal illness suddenly recovered, and it was said that he had recovered.
, since he has been pushed back, there is no possibility of him rising again. If it is better, he will be given some other compensation, such as children. If it is worse, there will be nothing. I don’t know the position of the Minister of the Second Department of the General Staff.
How many people were jealous, how could they allow him to go up again after he fell down? But the old man went up again without saying a word, and to compensate him, he was promoted to a higher level, from the position of director of the Second Department of the General Staff to assistant to the general director.
Although this is only a level, most generals have stayed at this position throughout their lives. It can be said that they are not at the same level. They almost have no future. After rising to this level, their future suddenly becomes bright.
From this matter, anyone with some knowledge can see that this old man has the support of a big boss. In the past, this old man kept silent. Although he was considered to be in a high and powerful position, as the saying goes, he could not reach the capital.
I don’t know if you are an official, but in the capital, it’s not about how big your official position is, but how big your background is. Although Old Man Yang used to have a high position, he could only be regarded as an ordinary general. However, this time he missed something.
He became a fierce man with bare hands.
In fact, this is the reason why Mr. Hou gave Mr. Yang face. If it were in the past, Mr. Hou would never compromise with Mr. Yang.
"Second brother, what should we do?" When asking, Zhang Yang couldn't help but look back at Chen Ran, who was sitting on the front of the car eating.
Zhang Yang’s name is Zhang Yang. On the one-third of an acre of land in his home, he is indeed as public as his name. But this is only on the one-third of an acre of his home. Zhang Yang’s family is not in the capital, but in the capital.
He is the son of the political and legal leader of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee of a prefecture-level city in a northern province. When he first arrived in the capital, he was actually as flamboyant as he was on the three acres of land at his home. But after being flamboyant for a short time, he learned how to do it.
When to show off and when not to show off, just like in front of Liu Qing, he would not show off. Showing off is for others to see, not for Liu Qing.
Hearing Zhang Yang's question, the fat man also looked at Liu Qing.
The fat man's name is Xu Bao. He and Liu Qing grew up together, so their relationship is closer than that between Zhang Yang and Liu Qing. It's just that friendship is something they, the children who grew up in the yard, are still eight years old.
You will know with whom you have the best friendship.
Liu Qing frowned and glanced at Zhang Yang and Xu Bao. He could naturally guess what they were thinking, but if it was someone else from Guoan, he wouldn't care. Guoan's face was the concern of the people above.
The matter had little to do with him, but Huang Limin, one of Wang Qiang and Huang Limin, was his cousin. He joined Guoan just to hang out with him. Originally, his plan was to let his cousin work first in the office.
He had mixed qualifications, and then transferred to his side. This time he sent his cousin to catch this Chen Ran with the intention of letting him get some credit, but he didn't expect that he didn't get the credit, and even got himself into it. It is said that he also
He was tortured by Chen Ran, no matter whether he confessed or not, but with this stain, he would basically not be able to get ahead in politics or joining the army in the future.
His cousin was his sister-in-law's son, and his sister-in-law was his grandfather's favorite daughter. He could already imagine that there might have been a quarrel at home.
Therefore, whether in public or private, he will never let go of Chen Ran. Although Chen Ran is now protected by Chief Yang, when he entered the national security department, his grandfather told him
But now that you have joined Guoan, you are no longer a member of our Liu family. You are a member of Guoan in life, and you will be a ghost of Guoan in death.
From this sentence, Liu Qing learned to take advantage of the situation.
Therefore, when he saw Xu Bao and Zhang Yang looking at him, he just smiled coldly: "No matter how fierce Old Man Yang is, he can't control us. He can always hand us over if something goes wrong.
?”
In the scene where Zhang Yang threw a throwing knife to challenge Chen Ran, since Liu Qing and Zhang Yang were originally active on the side of the giant stone forest, and Chen Ran also came from the giant stone forest, therefore, President Hou and the others were blocked by the mound.
He didn't notice it.
However, Han Qinhu and Wu Bing, who were doing push-ups on the mound, noticed it. They were about to rush over when they saw it. After all, they were the guards arranged by Chief Yang for Chen Ran, but later they saw
Chen Ran did not conflict with Zhang Yang and the others, so they turned around and continued doing push-ups.
"Brother Hu, what do you think Captain Chen does? He probably wasn't a soldier before, right? Our General Manager Yang really valued him and gave him the rank of captain directly?" Wu Bing was doing push-ups.
He guessed with a smile. Although he didn't ask clearly, his meaning was very clear. He obviously thought Chen Ran was a second-generation official or a second-generation military officer.
In fact, he himself can be regarded as a second-generation official, but he climbed up to the rank of second lieutenant step by step. There is still a difference between the military and the officialdom. In the officialdom, if you are a young man, it is still a bit difficult to get promoted.
It is useful, but it is not possible in the army. It is not impossible. It is best not to let your comrades and teammates know, otherwise, they will isolate you. Sometimes your superiors will even know that you have a background.
They are suppressing you because they are not convinced, and since they are in the army, your background is basically useless. Naturally, they will not take special care of you, and may even suppress you. Unless, of course, you have the ability to make others
People admire your strength.
Chen Ran was obviously not a soldier before. At such a young age, he was directly assigned to the General Staff by Commander Yang and given the rank of captain. Naturally, he was not convinced by the public. If others said they were not envious or jealous, they were undoubtedly lying.
Yes.
If General Yang did not arrange Chen Ran to join the General Staff or let Chen Ran serve as a soldier, but just asked Han Qinhu and Wu Bing to serve as guards for Chen Ran for a period of time, then what would be the attitude of Wu Bing and Han Qinhu towards Chen Ran?
Naturally it will be a different story.
Wu Bing's question made Han Qinhu frown, but he didn't say anything. It wasn't until a while later that he gasped and replied: "We are just carrying out the mission. Don't ask too much about the leader's affairs!"
Wu Bing knew that Chief Yang had saved Han Qinhu's younger brother's life. Therefore, when he heard Han Qinhu's warning, although he was not convinced, he also knew that there was no point in talking to him anymore, so he said nothing more.
"Brother Chen, did you have a good rest last night?"
Chen Ran ate some compressed biscuits and corned beef, drank some water, and then went to Mr. Hou's place. When he got there, Huang Shaopeng greeted Chen Ran with a smile, and President Ye also smiled and nodded to him,
Huang Lele was eating his own snacks, and Hou was exploring the road with a telescope, so he didn't say anything to Chen Ran.
"fine."
Chen Ran smiled and nodded, and looked forward. In fact, there was nothing to look forward to. After this huge stone forest, it should be the mountain forest where the treasure was buried.
"There is a river here. You can come and wash yourself."
Mr. Hou looked around for a while, and just as he put down the telescope, Wu Bing's voice came from the distance.
Everyone turned around and saw Wu Bing standing on the other side of the mound with half of his body exposed and waving to them.
The terrain here is composed of low hills that rise one after another. They are in the middle of the two hills, and in front of the middle is a huge stone forest.
"There is a river." When he heard that there was a river over there, Huang Lele cheered and ran over. President Ye and Sister Mei also followed. Chen Ran went there with Huang Shaopeng, although most of them
They have all been washed with mineral water, but how can a group of people who are so tired from traveling have such a happy time?
When we got here, we found a river ditch. The ditch was wide and narrow. There were some not very tall weeds growing on both sides of the river bank, but it had a sandy bottom. It looked very comfortable and made people want to take off their shoes.
Jump in and wash up.
When Chen Ran and the others came over, Han Qinhu was washing his face by the river, while Wu Bing walked to the end of the ditch next to the giant stone forest, because there was a small lake over there, and the water in the ditch was
It flowed from there.
Huang Lele also jumped over and called President Ye and Sister Mei over. President Ye followed, Huang Shaopeng naturally accompanied them, and Chen Ran was also with them.
Regarding the relationship between Huang Shaopeng and President Ye, Chen Ran was very strange. Although President Ye was very capable and had a good figure, his appearance was just average. However, Huang Shaopeng, a young man from a wealthy family, seemed to be attracted to President Ye.
They have a soft spot for each other, and President Ye seems to still look down on Huang Shaopeng a little, but only regards Huang Shaopeng as a friend.
Although it was strange, it had nothing to do with him. Chen Ran naturally would not dig into it. He followed Huang Shaopeng to the lake and squatted down to wash his face. He just washed his face twice. It was not an illusion or something. He suddenly felt
A red light seemed to flash before his eyes for a moment.
Chen Ran didn't pay much attention to it at first, but at this moment, he suddenly felt something was wrong, as if there was a great danger approaching him.
Chen Ran still trusts his own feelings. Once there is any danger, this feeling will remind him. Now, he has this feeling. Therefore, although he does not know what the danger is, he is still nervous immediately.
He looked around carefully and found nothing wrong with the other party as far as he could see.
Although he found nothing, Chen Ran did not feel relieved. For a moment, he focused on the lake. After finding no foreign objects, he even immediately released an energy aperture to explore the lake.
