Guan Dehou and Bian Ge sneaked out of the hospital and found a hot pot restaurant in an old alley in Beijing.
The copper pot was ordered, but before the food was served, Guan Dehou directly asked, "What happened in Bangkok...how did it end?"
Bian Ge was stunned, "Ah? Uh... Brother De... This is against the rules..."
When Guan Dehou heard this, he went up and slapped Bian Ge on the back of the head, "What did you say?"
Bian Ge understood, immediately sat up straight, cleared his throat and said, "Um... I'm reporting to the commander, the situation was handled very well and the incident was not worsened."
Guan Dehou looked at Bian Ge silently and raised his hand again.
When Bian Ge saw this, he quickly smiled and said, "Hey, hey, hey! Brother De, Brother De!"
Guan Dehou raised his hand, but did not lower it. He looked at Bian Ge and said, "Say it."
"Ah? What did you say?"
"Just tell me what you did in Bangkok."
"I...Brother De, please don't hurt me." Bian Ge looked very embarrassed.
Guan Dehou looked at him for a long time, then slowly lowered his hand.
At this time, the boss brought the freshly cut mutton over and said, "Take your time, please."
Guan Dehou didn't say anything. He slowly picked up the chopsticks, picked up the meat, and put it into the pot. As he put it away, he sighed quietly, "If this were back in the Northeast... some people would have been surprised."
It's green... Now that my life is getting better, I'm not interested in seeing meat..."
There is something in these words, and Bian Ge is not a fool, so of course he can hear it.
It's just that the National Security Department has its own rules, so not everything can be said, especially this time in Pattaya, Bangkok, Thailand.
Bian Ge sat aside in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.
Guan Dehou didn't embarrass him anymore, he smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, I know you are not like before and can say anything now. This is a good thing. As for me... I don't want to embarrass you either."
, let’s eat first, ha!”
Bian Ge didn't dare to move his chopsticks. After a while, he whispered softly, "Brother De... do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"
"Ghost? Believe it, why don't you believe it?" Guan Dehou was happy, but he didn't look too serious.
Bian Ge frowned and said, "Oh, Brother De, I'm serious."
"Oh...seriously...then you hit a ghost in Thailand?"
Bian Ge organized his words and said, "Actually, I'm not sure... Of course I was scared to death. I only saw a person suddenly floating up, and then..."
Bian Ge did not dare to continue talking. It seemed that even recalling what happened in Thailand frightened him.
"Just what?" Guan Dehou frowned.
"Just... oops... I don't know what to say..." Bian Ge became inexplicably irritable, and his hands began to tremble involuntarily.
Guan Dehou saw it clearly and did not ask any further questions.
"Okay, okay, let's not mention it then. Let's eat, let's eat."
While Guan Dehou was filling Bian Ge's meat, he quietly turned on his cell phone and dialed a number.
The call was quickly connected, but the other party did not speak, but listened quietly.
"Brother De...have you been sent to the United States?" Bian Ge seemed to be really "not interested" in meat. He just sat there without even touching his chopsticks.
Guan Dehou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Who said that? Why didn't I know? Are you better informed than me?"
Bian Ge did not laugh. He said seriously, "Brother De, the world has changed. It is no longer the time when we were in the Northeast... Listen to my advice, if you can... don't go to the United States."
Guan Dehou knew he couldn't hide it any more, so he pretended not to care and asked, "Then...you have to tell me why. It's such a sudden sentence, which makes me feel a little confused."
Bian Ge lowered his head, and after hesitating for a long time, he suddenly lifted up his sleeves and showed them to Guan Dehou.
Guan Dehou looked down and said with a smile, "Have you been to Thailand? Why are you still so white?"
Bian Ge looked at Guan Dehou silently, then exerted slight force on his arm, and a bright red mark appeared on his wrist.
Guan Dehou didn't think much about it when he saw it, he just said "Tattoo?"
Bian Ge shook his head and said dryly, "It's targeting me."
"who?"
Bian Ge did not explain, only smiled bitterly and said, "Brother De, when I followed you, I wanted to be a soldier and hang out for the rest of my life, but then I accidentally got into trouble. I also wanted to do something... but I didn't expect it.
...Brother De... listen to my advice and don't go to the United States."
Guan Dehou looked at Bian Ge. After a while, he raised his hand and put down his sleeves. Then he patted his back and said, "Don't be stunned. The dishes are all here. Hurry up and eat."
…
Don’t go to America…
After sending Bian Ge back to the hospital, Guan Dehou had these words in his mind on the way back.
'What on earth do you mean? Tsk...' Guan Dehou took his mobile phone and looked at the number on it. He originally wanted to ask Li Shaoan for clarification, but when he was at Minister Chen's house earlier today, Guan Dehou felt that Li Shaoan
It seemed like there was something being hidden from him.
Now ask him again...
never mind.
"Jingle Bell"
Guan Dehou's cell phone rang.
When I looked down, I saw it was an unfamiliar number.
Guan Dehou frowned and didn't answer, thinking it was a harassing call.
But as soon as I hung up, another unknown number called.
"Huh?" Guan Dehou picked up his phone and looked at it. He was sure that this number was different from the previous one, but it was still a bit too coincidental to call two unfamiliar numbers in a row.
This time Guan Dehou did not hang up or answer, but waited until the ringing ended.
The boy who was driving turned around and asked, "Captain, why don't you pick up?"
Guan Dehou said nothing, he kept staring at the screen of his mobile phone.
When the ringing ended, Guan Dehou just put down the phone when the call came in again.
Come.
And it’s an unknown number.
This time Guan Dehou took the call.
"Hello?"
"Go back to the hospital, he is in danger." The other party spoke very quickly and hung up after finishing speaking.
Guan Dehou was stunned, and then immediately said to his younger brother, "Turn around! Go back to the hospital!"
The younger brother was stunned and said, "Huh?"
"Ah what! I told you to turn around!"
"But...Brother De, we are stuck in the middle."
Only then did Guan Dehou notice that the car was stuck on the road... The streets of Beijing were busy with traffic at night, and it would take at least more than an hour to drive back to the hospital.
So Guan Dehou immediately opened the car door and said, "Then you can drive the car back."
The younger brother was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly got out of the car, "Captain! Take this with you!"
As soon as Guan Dehou turned around, something black was thrown towards him.
Guan Dehou caught it and saw that it was a pistol.
He hurriedly put it away, then crossed the traffic and ran towards the hospital along the road he came from.
…
"Why did you come here so late?" The nurse on duty looked unhappy.
The nurse who took over smiled and apologized, "Well... I was delayed a little bit on the way, I'm sorry."
"Humph, really, didn't I tell you earlier that I would have a date today?" The nurse on duty walked away angrily.
The nurse who took over kept laughing with her all the way until she was sent away, then turned back to the nurse's station with a cold look on her face.
When she arrived at the nurse's station, she opened the bag she brought with her and took out a gun.
After unloading the magazine and taking a look, the little nurse skillfully loaded the weapon, then lifted up her skirt and placed the gun close to her body.
…
In the ward, Bian Ge was lying on the bed and had not slept. He was staring at the ceiling, wondering what he was thinking.
After a long time, he couldn't lie down anymore, so Bian Ge got up, picked up his cell phone and decided to go out for a walk.
But as soon as I got out of bed, the door of the ward was pushed open.
A little nurse came in, holding a box of things in her hand.
Bian Ge was stunned and subconsciously touched the bottom of the bed.
Seeing that Bian Ge was still awake, the little nurse couldn't help but smile and said, "You haven't slept yet?"
Bian Ge frowned and looked at it. After confirming that it was the nurse he was familiar with, he relaxed a little and said, "No, I don't know what happened today... I haven't been able to sleep."
"Oh? Do you want me to get you some sleeping pills?"
"Hey, is that okay?"
"Of course, what you need most now is to have a good rest. If you don't get enough rest, the condition will recur." The nurse took the box to the bedside next to Bian Ge.
Bian Ge looked over curiously and asked, "What's in your box?"
The little nurse smiled slightly and said, "Guess."
Bian Ge was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be deep in thought, "Well...if you want me to guess...could it be..." As he spoke, his eyes moved downward.
The little nurse's face turned red, "Dirty, what are you thinking about?"
Bian Ge chuckled, but when he raised his head again, he couldn't laugh anymore.
The little nurse's smile was still there, but the box had been opened, and the black muzzle was pointed at Bian Ge's forehead.
"Oh! Wrong guess!" The little nurse said and pulled the trigger.
…
Weapon silencers in reality are far less powerful than those in movies and TV shows.
It will be the same even in 2024.
When the gunfire rang out, the other two patients in the ward were awakened.
But the nurse didn't panic at all. She fired two more shots, then walked to Bian Ge's body and took a look. After confirming that the shot hit his forehead, the nurse fired two more shots in Bian Ge's heart.
A total of five shots and five rounds of ammunition were fired.
The little nurse lost her cold expression, smiled at Bian Ge, then turned around and prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, the door to the room was suddenly knocked open.
The people who rushed into the house didn't give the nurse time to react, and fired three shots in a row after entering the house.
All three shots hit her in the head.
One shot in the middle of the eyebrow, one shot in the side of the face, one shot in the chin...
The originally pretty little nurse was completely unrecognizable after being hit by these three shots... However, even so, she did not fall down. Instead, she stood up straight and fired back.
Guan Dehou was shocked and thought, 'What the hell is this?'
The other party had no intention of explaining, so she fired two more shots.
Seeing that Guan Dehou had not been hit and the magazine was empty, he turned around and rushed towards the window.
Guan Dehou, who was hiding behind the cabinet, immediately fired his gun when he saw this.
However, the bullet can only penetrate the opponent's body, but it cannot have any real effect.
She finally jumped up and jumped out of the window.
When Guan Dehou chased her to the window, he happened to see her limping towards the inpatient building.
…
Three o'clock in the morning.
The hospital was surrounded by police and National Security Department staff.
But after three hours of searching, the injured nurse Guan Dehou mentioned was still not found...
The surveillance cameras did not record anyone entering Bian Ge's room. For a while, Guan Dehou seemed to be the biggest suspect.
But the criminal police captain and the head of the National Security Department in charge of this area knew about the relationship between Guan Dehou and Bian Ge. They would never believe that Guan Dehou would return to the hospital in the middle of the night to kill someone... and the person he killed was his cousin...
It's still a bit cold in the early morning in spring.
Guan Dehou leaned on the police car and smoked, his mind completely confused.
Who wants to kill Bian Ge? Why should he be killed? What happened to the woman who cannot be killed?
A lot of problems troubled Guan Dehou.
…
At sunrise, Guan Dehou got into Minister Chen's car.
Minister Chen said nothing on the way and seemed angry.
Guan Dehou did not explain either.
We drove forward in silence...until the car stopped in front of an abandoned villa in the suburbs.
Guan Dehou looked up and saw that although the villa had been abandoned for a long time, there were people watching in the dark both inside and outside. It seemed to be a hidden meeting point.
"Get out of the car." Minister Chen said coldly.
Guan Dehou did as he was told.
After the car drove away, Minister Chen straightened his collar and said, "Take off your coat. It smells like cigarettes."
Guan Dehou smelled it and then took off his coat.
Following Minister Chen into the villa, someone was already waiting.
"You two came early."
Guan Dehou took a quick look and saw that he was a very dry-looking middle-aged man.
He was wearing a black windbreaker and his leather shoes were polished. He didn't look like he was attending a reception.
When Minister Chen saw him, he immediately put on a smile and walked over and said, "Hey, Minister Li! Long time no see!"
Minister Li?
Guan Dehou suddenly remembered...Li Shaoan's uncle Li Zaichen, the chief of the South China Division of the National Security Department's China Region.
He and Chen Jingrui were on the same level, so Guan Dehou quickly stepped forward to say hello.
Li Zaichen looked at Guan Dehou, nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, Lao Chen has good taste."
Minister Chen smiled slightly, "Anyway, we don't have as many elite soldiers and generals as you do. No... we can only pick the taller one among the short ones and choose one to make ends meet."
Although it was just a polite word, Li Zaichen still found it useful.
It's just that Guan Dehou was a little unhappy, and he said to himself, "You can praise others as long as you praise them, why are you mentioning that I am short?"
I feel unhappy, but I still have to keep a smile on my face.
"Hey, Brother Chen is being humble. I have many soldiers, but they are far less powerful than the people you have...ah, they are so powerful, don't you think?"
Minister Chen smiled and didn't answer any more.
The three of them stood in the empty living room for about half an hour, and finally someone else came.
This time there were many cars coming and many people getting off.
The most important thing is that they are not all Asian faces, or... not all Chinese.
Guan Dehou knows several of them, including those from the United States, the European Community, and Russia...
After these people arrived, a man came down from the second floor of the villa and said to everyone, "Everyone, please follow me. The meeting will start immediately."
Guan Dehou frowned, "Meeting?"
…
This place is indeed a secret junction, and it looks like it has been built for many years.
Although various items are very new, they look in perfect condition...
In the conference room, the leaders of each division sat in the first row, while grassroots personnel like Guan Dehou sat at the outer edge of the conference room.
But even at the outermost edge, the content of the meeting's discussions reached their ears verbatim.
Guan Dehou listened for a while. The main discussion in this meeting was the impact of various terrorist or terrorist-like attacks that have occurred in recent times on the National Security Department.
Most of them are official clichés.
Guan Dehou was too lazy to listen, so he kept closing his eyes and thinking about his own things.
After an unknown amount of time, Guan Dehou heard someone calling his name.
When he opened his eyes, he saw everyone around him looking at him.
Guan Dehou was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that it was Minister Chen who was calling him, with a sullen look on his face.
Guan Dehou hurriedly stood up and said, "Here."
Minister Chen's expression finally softened. He introduced to Guan Dehou, "Minister Charles is the person in charge of your trip to the United States. You will be under his direct leadership for some time to come. Are you clear?"
Charles Guan Dehou frowned and looked to the side of Minister Chen.
He is an old man with blond hair and blue eyes.
It is said that this guy was a forensic scientist with 30 years of working experience before joining the National Security Department, and for some reason he suddenly found himself in a management position.
But no matter what, as a leader, you have to give face.
Guan Dehou immediately saluted and said, "Yes!"
"Well, sit down."
…
In the next three hours, the ministers of each division sorted out and elaborated on the problems existing in each division, and solved them one by one after discussion and negotiation.
Guan Dehou was very confused after hearing this, and thought to himself, 'Why did you call us here to discuss these things? You really have nothing to do...'
At noon, after the meeting ended, Minister Chen called Guan Dehou aside and said, "Don't investigate Bian Ge's matter anymore...it won't be good for you."
Guan Dehou naturally felt uncomfortable after hearing this, but he could only nod.
"Besides, I'm going to ask Shao An to be your backup. Do you have any objections?"
Guan Dehou was stunned, "Opinion? Isn't this very good?"
"No, I have no objection."
Minister Chen asked again, "Really?"
"Well, of course, he and I are old partners, so I'll definitely have no objection."
"Then let him be the director of this division, and you be his soldier, don't you have any objection?" Minister Chen explained in detail.
Guan Dehou understood, but he really didn't care, so he smiled and said, "I'm not a leader. I think it's good to leave the position of director to him. Moreover, the organization has arrangements, so I will just obey the arrangements."
"Haha..." Minister Chen didn't look happy after hearing this. He sighed and said, "There are too many things happening recently. For you people, it would be much better if you don't know the details... So...
…Do you understand what I mean?”
Guan Dehou's face straightened, "I understand."
"Well, well, you don't need to attend the afternoon meeting. Go home and get together with your family. It's time to leave for the United States next week."
Upon hearing this, Guan Dehou immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Yes!"
