Qin Fei, who was lying on the hospital bed, had a dream in his sleep.
Qin Fei has repeated this dream over and over again in the past eleven years.
There is always only one dream - the night when my father Qin Anguo disappeared eleven years ago.
In a daze, his father Qin Anguo stood in front of his bed, staring at him quietly, with a complicated expression and tears in his eyes, as if he had a thousand words to say to him.
However, after a moment, he turned around and left.
Outside the gate, there was heavy rain and thunder and lightning.
Qin Fei struggled to sit up from the bed and shouted desperately at his father's back.
"Dad! Dad! Where are you going!?"
But no matter how he shouted, Qin Anguo did not look back, and his figure quickly disappeared into the rain and darkness.
He got up and chased out the door, only to be drenched in the heavy rain.
"Dad - where are you?"
He was shouting hysterically and aimlessly.
In the darkness, without any echo, Qin Anguo seemed to have completely disappeared from his life.
A bolt of lightning struck, and Qin Fei, who was only ten years old, held his head and covered his ears, squatting on the ground and crying loudly.
…
With such a start, people wake up.
"What? Are you having nightmares again?"
A gentle voice sounded like water, a familiar voice sounded in my ears.
Qin Fei turned his head suddenly and found a female officer wearing summer uniform sitting in front of him.
Qin Fei was startled when his eyes fell on her face.
Thinking that he was still dreaming, he stretched out his hand and twisted his thigh.
It still hurts, I really wasn't dreaming.
He quickly sat up.
"Do you think you are dreaming?" the female officer smiled sweetly.
I have to say that this face is very familiar to Qin Fei, and I have to say that after so many years, it is still so beautiful.
It's An Ruosu!
"An... Ruosu..."
Qin Fei found himself stuttering suddenly, "You...why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here?" An Ruosu said disapprovingly: "Do you think Unit 203 only has men?"
"What?" Qin Fei's sleepiness had completely disappeared and he said in surprise: "Are you from Unit 203?"
"Yes, I have been a member of Unit 203 for a year and have just passed my internship period." An Ruosu said.
Qin Fei's eyes were round.
There are actually female cadres in Unit 203!?
Damn it!
"For the rank of lieutenant, which military academy did you get admitted to?"
An Ruosu's big eyes were filled with a compelling aura: "What? The military academy is embarrassing? The International Defense Academy is embarrassing?"
Qin Fei suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. An Ruosu's temper was exactly the same as when he was in the compound, and he was still so aggressive.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. With your conditions, it won't be a problem to go to any college. You are a top student!"
An Ruosu was famous for her excellent academic performance back then, and skipping grades was not a problem.
"Okay, let's not talk about old times with you now. I'm here because of official business."
An Ruosu patted the black briefcase on her knees, took out a black recording pen from it, turned on the switch, and placed it on the table.
"Comrade Qin Fei, now let me tell you the ins and outs of the incident in which you were involved in the drug deal with Zhang Lan, as well as all the details. Your words are very important and crucial to understanding the ins and outs of the whole matter, so please be sure to think clearly before speaking.
.”
Qin Fei looked at the recording pen and couldn't help but smile and said, "Is this considered one of the tests of training?"
An Ruosu said sternly: "You can think of it as, if you can't even recall the details of the incident, or if you haven't been able to collect anything valuable after tracking the team for a day, I think you, as a member of Unit 203,
You will definitely not be qualified, and Captain Lei Ming may kick you out of the selection because of this."
"Of course I remember, every detail."
Qin Fei didn't dare to laugh anymore when he saw An Ruosu acting businesslike.
Judging from An Ruosu's dress and behavior, she should be a technical talent specializing in intelligence analysis in Unit 203.
The entire pursuit process is described in detail, almost every detail is explained clearly.
When Zhang Lan mentioned the word "birthday" before his death, An Ruosu showed great interest.
"Birthday?"
"Yes, she only said these two words intermittently before she died, and then she lost her temper."
An Ruosu's brows furrowed slightly and her pen stopped on the notebook, as if she was thinking about something.
"What special meaning do you think it has?" Qin Fei asked.
An Ruosu said: "I have read Zhang Lan's personal information, and her birthday is not today."
Qin Fei said: "I think this matter is not simple. I have heard them mention 'BOSS' many times, which shows that there are people behind them controlling everything. Moreover, they actually knew the route and scope of the manhunt and temporarily changed their exit."
Point, this proves that someone on our side leaked intelligence."
An Ruosu still didn't speak.
Qin Fei asked again: "Is this incident now handled by Unit 203?"
Only then did An Ruosu come to his senses and rolled his eyes at Qin Fei: "You have been a soldier for more than a year, have you never memorized the confidentiality regulations?"
Qin Fei was choked and had to shut up.
"Ask what you should ask, don't ask what you shouldn't. I will let you know what you should know, and you shouldn't take a second look at what you shouldn't know." An Ruosu taught Qin Fei a lesson, and then put it away.
Got a voice recorder.
"alright."
She placed her black briefcase on the table.
"The official business is done, now it's time to talk about private matters."
"Private matter?" Qin Fei was confused, "What private matter?"
Snapped--
Before Qin Fei could react, An Ruosu slapped Qin Fei directly on the cheek.
"Fuck me!"
Qin Fei almost jumped out of bed.
"what are you doing!?"
"Hit you!" An Ruo was as calm as a normal person, "You owe me!"
Qin Fei was full of grievances. He suddenly remembered that An Ruosu was not only beautiful in the army compound, but also had another characteristic - he was famously spicy!
Therefore, when I was young, everyone called An Ruosu "Little Pepper"...
"Little Pepper! Speak clearly. If you don't speak clearly, I won't be done with you!" Qin Fei was a little angry. He was slapped by a woman for being so clueless. Any man would have a temper.
"1999!" An Ruosu named a year, "Do you remember it?"
In 1999, Qin Fei's thoughts instantly passed through layers of fog-like memories and returned to that era.
It was when Qin Fei had just graduated from the third year of junior high school, it was the fourth year after his father disappeared, and it was also the last year that Qin Fei and his mother Liang Shaoling stayed in the military compound.
After that, Qin Fei followed Liang Shaoling, who had given up on the army, back to his hometown and lived an ordinary life.
1999? What did you do?
"Let me remind you again, it was the Army Day on August 1 that year."
An Ruosu's beautiful big eyes stared at Qin Fei without blinking, making Qin Fei feel guilty inexplicably, as if he owed some debt.
