"Sister Yu, come here, these are the licorice tablets that I asked my father to bring specially from Hong Kong. They are most effective for relieving your asthma!" As soon as he entered the door, Gu Xiaomeng rushed out of the room and took a full cup of medicine.
box of licorice slices, he said to Li Ningyu very boldly.
Li Ningyu was not polite and took the medicine box naturally, and then said to Gu Xiaomeng as if she had seen through everything: "You called me home, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as delivering medicine, right?"
"I……"
"There's no need to be so hesitant. There are only two of us here. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Sister Yu, you...why do you have to endure that bastard? Leave him! Otherwise, kill him! I'll help you!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Ningyu glared at her fiercely, "Gu Xiaomeng, remember, he is my husband!"
"But he abused you..."
"That has nothing to do with you! It seems that my previous hunch was correct. I really shouldn't have agreed to come here with you." After saying that, Li Ningyu turned around and walked out.
However, after walking a few steps, Gu Minzhang's voice suddenly came from the direction of the stairs, "Why is this guest so anxious to leave just after he arrived? Xiaomeng, Miss Zhao just told me that you have a guest? I want to
It should be this lady, right?"
"Ah, yes, dad, this is..."
"Well!" Gu Xiaomeng was about to introduce Li Ningyu, but Gu Minzhang raised his hand to interrupt her, "Let me guess. This lady should be your admired new boss, the deciphering genius, Section Chief Li, right?"
"President Gu is overly flattering." Li Ningyu said modestly, "I am Li Ningyu. I am just dropping by the house this time, so I won't disturb you."
After saying that, Li Ningyu nodded apologetically to Gu Minzhang, and then turned around and left.
Gu Minzhang didn't want to, but he stayed again and said: "Chief Li, Xiaomeng rarely brings friends home. It seems that she really likes you, Chief Li. Hahaha, besides, it's this time now. Why don't you invite Chief Li?"
You can stay and have a simple meal for me, even if you give me as a father a thin noodle, otherwise if my daughter gets angry, she will refuse to eat again, okay?"
Faced with Gu Minzhang's kindness, Li Ningyu no longer pushed back, so she nodded and agreed.
Soon, the three of them sat around a long Western-style dining table, with Gu Minzhang in the middle, and Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu sitting on the left and right.
There was not much time, so Miss Zhao personally brought exquisite and unique dishes to the table. The three of them enjoyed the delicious food while talking and laughing. Half an hour passed before they knew it.
After the sumptuous meal, Miss Zhao promptly brought the freshly baked pudding as dessert, and Gu Minzhang also took out a bottle of red wine that had been collected for many years from the wine cabinet, and said to Li Ningyu with a smile: "
Section Chief Li, my daughter is too spoiled, I need to ask you to be more considerate in the future!"
"President Gu, you are too kind. Miss Gu has the care of Commander Zhang and Director Jin. I am not just a small section chief."
"Why don't you, the county magistrate, take charge now! Come on, Chief Li, I'd like to toast you with this glass of wine. I won't thank you for your kindness. In the future, whenever you need to take care of someone, please speak up."
"President Gu, I... don't know how to drink."
"Chief Li, this is the Porter from the 20th year of the Republic of China. Can't you drink it too?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Ningyu's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, and then she picked up the wine glass in front of her and put it under her nose and smelled it carefully, and then followed Gu Minzhang's words and asked: "Is it the September brew?"
Of?"
"Of course it's September." Gu Minzhang replied matter-of-factly, "Chief Li, actually I insist on keeping you here today just to express my gratitude to you in person."
As soon as these words came out, Li Ningyu couldn't help being stunned, "It's the first time we meet, how can President Gu say thank you?"
"Of course I want to thank you for saving my daughter's life, Xiaomeng. You probably don't even know now that you owe Section Chief Li this debt!"
Hearing this, Gu Xiaomeng couldn't help but look puzzled.
"Xiaomeng, didn't you say before that on the code ship, Mitsui Juichi first started investigating Morita's death and when he checked everyone's tableware one by one, your table knife disappeared inexplicably first, and then very...
Was it mysteriously lost and found again?"
"Yes, Dad, wasn't that what Director Jin did? And he admitted it in front of you before!"
"Yes, but if I guess correctly, he Jin Shenghuo should just give orders, and there is someone else who really helps you out. Am I right, Section Chief Li?"
Although Li Ningyu just smiled after hearing this and neither admitted nor denied it, it could already explain a lot of problems.
After seeing this, Gu Minzhang continued: "So, my daughter was brought off the ship alive by Section Chief Li."
"As I said before, President Gu is too praised."
"So that's it." It was only then that Gu Xiaomeng finally realized it. At the same time, combined with everything before, he was basically sure that the person who handed him the knife in the dark at that time was probably her, Li Ningyu!
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaomeng finally couldn't help but said: "Sister Yu, why didn't you say anything before?"
"Because this is a test, a test entirely for you. You said you wanted to be me, so I wanted to test it, but the result..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Minzhang on the side took over, "Xiaomeng, you still haven't deciphered Section Chief Li's good intentions! Therefore, you failed your test, right?"
"This is the most important reason why I think Miss Gu is not suitable for intelligence deciphering work. I once strongly opposed her joining the business department I am in charge of. The intelligence department is like that code ship. Once you board it, you will see the light of swords and swords. There is only a hair's breadth between life and death.
, President Gu only has this daughter, so he must love her as much as his life, so..."
"I appreciate Section Chief Li's hard work, but this is her own choice and there is nothing I can do about it!"
"In that case, then...I'm sorry, I really should say goodbye."
After saying that, Li Ningyu got up and walked out. Seeing this, Gu Xiaomeng glanced at his father first, then got up and chased him out.
"Sister Yu! Wait a minute! I'll see you off, I have a car!"
Just like that, the two got into the same car again and drove slowly towards Li Ningyu's house...
At the same time, Commander Zhang’s residence.
"Commander, please calm down, they may have something to do with each other." Seeing Commander Zhang getting angry and beating and smashing in the living room after learning that no one came to keep the appointment, Bai Xiaonian hurriedly advised with distress.
However, Commander Zhang snorted after hearing this and said angrily: "Xiao Nian, I'm not telling you, it's just this excuse that you will believe!"
"But Commander, a person as noble as Li Ningyu who cares about face should not be able to do this kind of thing, right?"
"Humph, what can't the four of them do? Have you forgotten that telegram? Humph!" As he said that, Commander Zhang stood up with a slap on his thigh, "There's a ghost! There's a ghost in my heart, I can see everything.
It’s the Hongmen Banquet!”
"But...haven't the cases of the code ships been closed? Is this what they are doing?"
"The case is closed? Go ahead and dream about your dreams! Didn't you tell me that Wang Tianxiang has reported the results of Jin Shengxian's interrogation to the Intelligence Department?"
"yes!"
"But I got news yesterday that the Intelligence Department did not receive any confession at all! And according to Ryukawa Hihara's proposal, this case has been merged with the case of the Zhonghong Underground Party! Xiaobai, now you should understand this
Is that the amount?"
"So, that Longchuan needs to be re-investigated?"
"In my opinion, Longchuan Feiyuan will not recognize Jin Shengxian's confession. Fortunately, I saved it before."
"Commander, you are talking about the secret message from the military command..."
"What secret message?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, Commander, Xiaobai made a mistake."
Commander Zhang smiled and said as if he didn't care: "It doesn't matter, as long as you remember my words."
"Please tell me."
"Killing with a borrowed knife, eradicating the roots!"
Just as he was talking, there was a sudden knock on the door...
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Gu Xiaomeng drove the car very slowly on the way to take Li Ningyu home. He even had the energy to glance at Li Ningyu's right hand that had not yet recovered, and asked with concern: "Are you feeling better soon?"
"I'm almost done, as long as I don't continue to eat the licorice slices you gave me." Speaking of this, Li Ningyu paused deliberately, and then continued to talk to herself, "To say that these licorice slices are really good, soak them in
You can apply it on your face to protect yourself from the sun, and it can relieve coughs if you have asthma. If you are injured or broken, taking a few more tablets can cause edema. If I remember correctly, you should have studied mathematics in the United States, right? I didn’t expect that you would be interested in traditional Chinese medicine.
It does take some research.”
"you!"
"drive carefully!"
"When did you know about it?" Gu Xiaomeng asked as calmly as possible.
However, Li Ningyu replied somewhat nonchalantly: "I'm just glad that what you gave me to eat was not potassium cyanide in my collar."
"Since you already knew it, why didn't you expose me?"
"I've eaten anything more poisonous than this, how many pieces of licorice are you missing?" Li Ningyu said calmly, "I'm just curious. You painstakingly designed to make my hand injury worse, and you tried every means to join the Intelligence Division. Once
Could it be that you lowered your profile and approached me for the first time to obtain the secrets of the Enigma's internal structure? Can you tell me why?"
"I'm not a mole!"
"I believe it! You are the daughter of a shipping king, and the cost of buying you is too high. The secret agencies in Chongqing and Yan'an will not take this risk, and your ability is not worth it, unless..."
"Unless what?"
However, Li Ningyu smiled and said nothing, as if she had no intention of answering at all.
"You are right, it is too difficult to bribe me. I have lived for twenty-four years, drank the best wine, worn the best diamonds, and interacted with the most powerful families in today's society. From childhood to adulthood, I have learned
The first truth is that if there is something in this world that money cannot buy, it is a treasure."
"for example?"
"Such as being recognized as a genius who can decipher the second-generation Enigma machine."
"Gu Xiaomeng, such compliments will not let me let you go."
"I'm not complimenting you, I'm admiring you from the bottom of my heart. Of course, I also have my own goals and ambitions, that is, one day I can be like you, or even surpass you! That is my pursuit! It's not just
What an Enigma machine!"
Hearing this, an imperceptible smile finally flashed across Li Ningyu's stern face.
However, at the next moment, Li Ningyu suddenly noticed a car lying across the middle of the road, and quickly warned: "Be careful!"
Hearing Li Ningyu's reminder, Gu Xiaomeng also quickly stepped on the brakes. Fortunately, the speed of the car was not fast, and he managed to stop before hitting him.
"What the hell!" Gu Xiaomeng said and was about to reach out to honk the horn, but was stopped by Li Ningyu on the side.
But even so, Gu Xiaomeng still jumped out of the car, walked aggressively to the guy who got out of the car blocking the road and asked: "Who are you? Why are you blocking my car?"
"Wang Tianxiang, director of the Secret Service of the General Suppression Headquarters, was ordered to inform the head of the Intelligence Section and staff member Gu Xiaomeng to cooperate with No. 76 in carrying out the deciphering mission!"
However, before he finished speaking, Li Ningyu, who was getting out of the car next to him, asked suspiciously: "Director Wang, whose order did you just say... were you following?"
"Is this important? It's an order from above anyway."
"Of course it's important!" Gu Xiaomeng said unceremoniously, "Since it's an order, there should be a warrant. We can't just follow you in such a confused way, right?"
"This must be the new officer, Gu Xiaomeng, the daughter of King Ship Gu, right? To tell you the truth, I don't have a warrant from the headquarters, but even if I do, I should show it to Section Chief Li."
"Okay, in that case, I'll go home first! Let's go, Sister Yu!"
"Captain Gu, don't blame me for not reminding you. I'm on a mission. Without orders from above, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave tonight."
"What? There are still roads in Hangzhou that I, Gu Xiaomeng, can't take?" After saying that, Gu Xiaomeng pulled Li Ningyu into the car.
However, as soon as the two of them sat back in the car, Wang Tianxiang took out a warrant from his pocket and slapped it on Gu Xiaomeng's car window. He said with a smile: "Captain Gu, I didn't lie. Headquarters
Indeed, I don’t have your warrant, but I do have one of Chairman Wang’s warrant here. Is this big enough?”
Hearing this, the two of them glanced at each other subconsciously, and had no choice but to follow Wang Tianxiang's instructions and came to a black car. Only then did the two of them discover to their surprise that Bai Xiaonian and Jin
The fire was already in the car.
"I knew you two were there, get in the car!" Jin Shenghuo glanced at the two of them and said with something in mind.
After the two got into the car, Wang Tianxiang took the initiative to sit in the cab, drove everyone away from the scene in person, and soon disappeared into the vast night...
