Turn off the heat, fill up the rice, and serve it. Looking at the simple but rich three dishes and one soup for one person, Tang Chao picked up his chopsticks and couldn't help but shake his head. It's rare for him to be so kind and want to invite people to the restaurant next time.
In the end, I had to do it myself. It was really...
That's right, Mu Ling declined the dinner invitation.
It’s not just a matter of loyalty, this person’s thinking is more complicated. If you put the general ideas together and make a twenty-episode soap opera, it is probably no problem. If you simplify the main plot, it is - it is understandable that you are interested in me, after all I am indeed very cute, but unfortunately, you are really not my type. Besides, we are no longer in the same world. Therefore, the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Forget me and find someone better (although it is not exist), come on... Wow, touching! Applause——
That's roughly the idea.
It can't be said that it's completely self-indulgent. If you want to blame it, it's because someone invited me so suddenly. He didn't call Sister Qing or Uncle Wei, but only invited him alone. It's easy for people to get confused.
Of course, the above-mentioned off-line thinking was beyond the imagination of the Tang Dynasty, and he never thought about it elsewhere. He just had good intentions and wanted to help the other party reduce losses as much as possible, but he gave the opportunity to no avail...
After dinner, I turned on the TV in the living room and went to the kitchen to wash the pots and dishes. After cleaning up, I chatted with the little girl as usual. When the latter's favorite TV series started, I put down my mobile phone, turned off the TV, and went to the study to turn on the computer.
Tang Chao is not very interested in TV series, and of course he doesn't hate them. If the little girl is around, he will watch it with him and complain about the plot. If not, he still prefers to play games such as Landlord and Minesweeper.
Come to kill time.
I turned on my computer and glanced at the time in the lower right corner. Well, it was only a little after eight o'clock, and there were still two or three hours before my night run. A sense of solemnity suddenly entered my lazy state. I couldn't be serious, otherwise six thousand dollars would be for nothing.
It is basically impossible to play a game that lasts for two or three hours. To a certain extent, this difficulty is no less than a high-precision long-range sniper mission!
Oh, no, this is much more difficult than long-range sniping. He rarely misses when sniping, but it’s hard to say in Landlord. In addition to skill, this thing also depends on luck, and sometimes teammates. It takes a lot of brain-racking for the whole game.
, control the cards, release the cards, perfectly defend the landowner, but in the end, you encounter a tough teammate who keeps a hole card and sprints three times, then no one can do anything, right?
I rubbed my hands, cheered up, and clicked on the client. At the same time, I used dual-line operations and habitually opened a certain wall-climbing software to log in to the fifth forum. Then, I watched the posts springing up all over the screen, as well as the pinned ones.
The red promotional announcement made people look startled, and they subconsciously forked the game at the beginning. The interface froze, and there were two kings and four twos among the cards that were dealt halfway...
Well, that doesn't matter anymore.
…
At the same time, one of the private rooms in a private restaurant in the city.
"Sorry, sorry. There's a traffic jam. I'm late. I've been waiting for a long time." While saying no innovative reasons for being late, Zong Qing pushed the door open and walked in. His eyes swept across the empty and clean table, and then he looked at the table next to where he was sitting.
Li Xiaolin, who was on her laptop, asked tentatively, "You haven't ordered yet?"
Li Xiaolin calmly took away the laptop, without even raising her head: "The boss is not here, how dare I make random decisions?" The tone was strange, but there was a reason for it. It was because the notification was not given in Xiangjiang a few days ago.
That thing.
There is no small matter in intelligence. Any seemingly insignificant detail may be related to the wealth and life of an excellent agent. There is really no room for carelessness.
Zong Qing, who knew he was in the wrong, waved his hands, "Don't, don't be like this. That matter is indeed my problem, I reflect, I review, I..." A menu was thrown at him, interrupting the eloquent posture, and the corner of Li Xiaolin's mouth twitched.
He said, "You'd better order food."
"Ha, you're welcome." Zong Qing obviously knows how to walk downhill. He pulled out a chair and sat down, "I've heard of this private restaurant for a long time, but I've never had the chance to come here because I'm short of money. Today
Take advantage of the luxury and have a good taste!"
This is not a complete flattery. To be honest, Zongqing's salary is not low. Times have changed, and it is no longer feasible to just focus on dedication. If you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse eat grass. This is consistent
The mainstream of objective facts.
Of course, no matter how you calculate it, his salary is still far inferior to that of Li Xiaolin. After all, the latter receives a double salary, especially from Xie Wei's income. There is no problem in slapping Zong Qing with the title of big money
Deserved.
After ordering the dishes and calling the waiter to take away the menu, Li Xiaolin picked up the teapot and poured water for Zong Qing, while handing over a USB flash drive: "The reports on this trip to Xiangjiang, about Xie Wei and that person, are all in it.
You can take it back and archive it."
Zong Qing nodded in agreement, without saying anything else, just picked it up and put it in his pocket. But when Li Xiaolin saw his raising of his hand, her eyes couldn't help but fall on his left shoulder, and she was slightly startled: "Are you injured?"
"Oh, it's a small problem. It's not a problem." Zong Qing shook his arm to show that it was okay. Zong Qing waved his hand and explained, "A superpower awakened in the city next door. Its function is similar to that of an eagle eye. After getting the news, Ah Qing and I yesterday
I made a trip, but something went wrong during the communication process..."
"Xiao Lin, you know that although we usually come into contact with a lot of relevant information, there are very few people with real awakened powers, and most of them are just illusions. So A Qing and I didn't pay attention at first.
I won the jackpot without even thinking about it... The man had just woken up and his mood was not very stable. He probably watched too many messy movies and TV shows, and thought he would be locked up in a laboratory and studied..."
He shook his head silently and continued, "We just found the place, and before we had time to go in and test it out, he jumped out from the balcony. That's the eighth floor... It's also because of Ah Qing's foul mouth. Isn't it just a normal knock on the door for a visit? Just treat it like this.
You admitted to the wrong door. You have to say that you checked the water meter. You don’t know how to keep pace with the times..."
"Ha!" Hearing this, Li Xiaolin couldn't help but laugh and cover her face when looking at Zong Qing who looked depressed, "What happened next?"
"Later we heard something was not right inside, so we broke in decisively. It turned out that the man was fine, but my arm was dislocated and injured... What a nonsense!" Zong Qing drank a cup of tea angrily, and Zong Qing couldn't calm down.
.
"Haha, it's okay. At least I earned a real person with awakened powers, so it's not a loss." Li Xiaolin comforted her while holding back her smile.
"That also depends on how the follow-up goes, the strength of the superpower, my own wishes, whether it can pass all aspects of review... If nothing else, it depends on your psychological quality." Shaking his head,
Zong Qing looked unfavorable.
This is the fact. In the underground world, the role and importance of supernatural powers are not as great as the outside world imagines.
Not to mention that as long as you have superpowers, you can join the Rise of Kyushu. That is simply overthinking. The procedures involved are very complicated. Unless it is a superpower with a high strategic and tactical priority, ordinary awakening superpowers
, it also plays a similar role as a stepping stone. In the end, Kyushu Rise’s decision whether to accept it or not will depend on the specific circumstances.
After switching off from this topic, the two chatted about other things while waiting for the food to be served. Basically, Zong Qing said it and Li Xiaolin listened, and the general content was about some recent developments in the Lingjiang branch base.
This information was not accessible to Li Xiaolin at her previous level. But as she was sent to stay undercover with Xie Wei for a long time, the situation became different. Whether she admits it or not, someone's existence is already linked to Ling Jiang.
The underground ecological environment of the underground environment is inseparable, including the Lingjiang branch base where Zong Qing and others are located. When you want to take any action, you will first take someone's influence into consideration.
In this case, the importance of Li Xiaolin becomes even more prominent. Knowing some inside information in advance can help Xie Wei avoid dangerous areas as much as possible. After all, no one wants to see that person suddenly enter the scene and kill everyone.
...The famous scene of gods descending to earth is enough to be seen once or twice. If you watch it too many times, no matter how big your heart is, it won't be able to bear it.
Just as he was talking, Zong Qing's cell phone rang. It was a call from the base. He picked it up and said, "Hey, Changfeng, I'm eating out. What's wrong... Has the forum list been updated? Now... wait a moment, I
I happen to have a computer at hand..."
There is a detail that needs to be explained here. As mentioned before, there are not many accounts issued by the Fifth Forum. The main reason is the weird and abnormal registration process. One person is the only one who successfully registered by answering the questions, and the rest
They are all passed from person to person and come in through invitation codes, and this is also restricted.
Therefore, just like other organizational forces, Jiuzhou Rise does not have many forum accounts, and even fewer are divided into the following branches. Generally speaking, if there are no special circumstances, one branch, two
Accounts. One is in the hands of the base leader, and the other is in the base intelligence department.
This is why Gao Changfeng called. He does not have a forum account and is here with Zong Qing.
Oh, by the way, Li Xiaolin also has a forum account, which was specially approved by the headquarters. This is a special situation. Needless to say, the reason is naturally because of someone's relationship, so I have to keep an eye on it all the time...
Okay, the explanation is over. "Let me borrow your computer." After saying that, without waiting for Li Xiaolin's consent, Zong Qing stood up and reached out, took the laptop placed next to the table, raised the screen, and typed on the keyboard casually.
"Okay...wait!"
Suddenly something occurred to her, and Li Xiaolin stood up, but it was too late. She only heard a clicking sound, pressed the space bar, and the interface lit up——
His eyes bulged, Zong Qing subconsciously closed his eyes, then opened them again, staring blankly at the bold and colorful advertising fonts that filled the screen, especially the name of the drug, which had an exaggerated flashing effect that blinded people's eyes. Only
That's all, the key is that there is a young girl in "ragged clothes" lying in the background, posing, with a youthful look on her face, looking as if she has just finished something, very happy and satisfied...
This is just one of the interfaces. There are many smaller windows similar to the pictures on the screen. The protagonists are either male or female, or both. They become postures, and what remains unchanged is the purpose... He swallowed unconsciously,
"Well……"
Snap! The laptop closes again.
In the private room with good soundproofing effect, the two people looked at each other with strange expressions, and the atmosphere was even more strange and unspeakable... In the quiet environment where you could hear the drop of a needle, Gao Changfeng's voice became clearer in the mobile phone microphone.
"Have you logged in... Why did I hear Lingzhi say that that person is also on the list? This is impossible... Hey, hey..."
