Origin Chapter 70: General
As the saying goes, the face is born from the heart. Some people have deer head and mouse eyes, which do not look like good people at first glance, while some people have kind eyebrows and kind eyes, which make people feel close at first sight. The old man who speaks belongs to the latter. Seeing this At first glance, Wu Zhongyuan instinctively judges that this person is trustworthy.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan stop swimming downstream, the old man opened the car door, got out of the car, smiled and waved to Wu Zhongyuan, "Come on, the water is cold."
Wu Zhongyuan did not land immediately, but floated on the water and tilted his head to look at the old man. Upon closer inspection, he found that the man should be around sixty-five years old, with gray hair, Chinese character face, medium height, wearing He was dressed in casual casual clothes, with a pair of very old moccasins on his feet.
If you just look at the appearance, this person is not much different from those retired old men from state-owned enterprises, but this person is detached. The calm and calmness of stormy waves.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was still hesitating, the old man took out a red certificate from the pocket of his jacket, opened it and showed it to Wu Zhongyuan, "I'll introduce myself first, my name is Li Wanli, the current director of the 18th National Security Bureau, this is the You can take a look at my military ID."
Wu Zhongyuan was about seven or eight meters away from the old man at this time. He knew qigong and had better eyesight than ordinary people. The certificate held by the old man had the old man's photo on it, and clearly wrote the old man's name and year of birth. month, military rank, and work unit.
The old man's name is Li Wanli, born in March 1950, the rank is major general, and his position is the director of the 18th branch of the National Security Bureau.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan hadn't come ashore yet, Wang Xinran was worried that Director Li would be dissatisfied, and hurried over to explain, "Director, don't blame him, he has become a bird in shock now."
"I don't blame him, I can understand," Director Li waved his hand, then turned to Wu Zhongyuan and said, "Comrade Xiao Wu, I have to apologize to you, there are still many problems with the working methods of some comrades in the branch. , I don’t have enough understanding of the relevant policies of national security, the work attitude is simple and rude, and the bureaucratic style has not been well overcome. When doing things, you must be a person first, and you must be trustworthy. For their untrustworthy behavior towards you, I have already The relevant responsible persons have severely criticized, and I assure you that similar things will never happen again in the future, please believe me."
After Director Li finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan was stunned. The general was already a big official. He didn't expect the other party's attitude to be so humble and sincere.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was still in the water, Wang Xinran hurriedly cast a urging look at him, and at the same time secretly hooked his hands, signaling him to go ashore as soon as possible.
Wu Zhongyuan reacted and slowly swam to the shore.
At this time, the driver and another middle-aged man in the back seat also came over, and Director Li waved at them, signaling them not to approach.
When Wu Zhongyuan swam to the shore, Wang Xinran reached out and pulled him up.
After landing, Wu Zhongyuan immediately let go and retreated, keeping a certain distance from Wang Xinran.
Wang Xinran gave Wu Zhongyuan a contemptuous look.
"Hello, Comrade Xiao Wu." Director Li took the initiative to reach out.
Wu Zhongyuan is very nervous. One of the reasons is that the other party is in a high position, and the other is that he is worried that the other party will take advantage of the opportunity to attack.
Although he was nervous, he still stretched out his hand. Director Li held his hand tightly, "I am also responsible for this matter. I have been busy with work recently, and I have not been able to give enough to you. Concerned, some problems have not been handled well."
Wu Zhongyuan nodded stunned. In fact, he didn't listen to what Director Li said. What he was most worried about at this time was whether Director Li would let go.
After shaking hands, Director Li let go, "Is there any change of clothes? Hurry up and change your wet clothes."
"In the village." Wu Zhongyuan said.
Actually, he only had a change of clothes in his backpack. The reason why he said this was to test Director Li's sincerity.
After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Director Li turned to look at Wang Xinran, "Xiao Wang, take Xiao Wu back to change clothes, we will wait for you here."
"Yes." Wang Xinran sternly agreed, and then said to Wu Zhongyuan, "Get in the car, what are you still doing?"
Wu Zhongyuan came back to his senses and got into the off-road vehicle with Wang Xinran.
Wang Xinran turned around and drove towards the village.
"Our director came in person, why are you still so suspicious and clever?" Wang Xinran asked with a frown.
"What?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.
"We've been to the Yao family, and you don't have any clothes left there." Wang Xinran said.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer. Since Wang Xinran knew that his unwashed clothes were left in the village, Director Li naturally knew that the reason why Director Li offered to let Wang Xinran drive him back to the village to change clothes was to give them a separate The opportunity to get along, let Wang Xinran explain some things to him further.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's black lips, Wang Xinran glanced at him, "Aren't the clothes in the bag wet? Put them on quickly if they are not wet."
The backpack was kept on Wu Zhongyuan's head. He knew that the contents inside were not wet, but instead of changing his clothes immediately, he asked, "How did you find me?"
"You can guess first." Wang Xinran said.
"Satellite?" Wu Zhongyuan said.
Wang Xinran shook his head.
"You installed bugs at Yao's house?" Wu Zhongyuan guessed again.
Wang Xinran shook her head again.
"There is road monitoring along the way when I go to the slaughterhouse..."
Wang Xinran waved his hand to interrupt Wu Zhongyuan, "Forget it, don't guess. I'll tell you the truth. There are people with supernatural abilities in our bureau, and they used supernatural methods to find you."
Wu Zhongyuan was taken aback, "Supernatural powers? Since there are supernormal powers, why didn't you use them earlier?"
"There are several departments in our bureau. Those people belong to other departments. Our section chief has no right to mobilize them, otherwise we would have arrested you long ago." Wang Xinran said.
"Where's your section chief?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"I was suspended," Wang Xinran laughed. "No, it should be said that he took a long vacation, and the director gave him two years of leave."
"Really?" Wu Zhongyuan confirmed.
"Really," Wang Xinran nodded, "I was originally assigned to another department, but the director transferred me back after he came back."
"Are you implicated by me?" Wu Zhongyuan felt guilty. In order to help him escape, Wang Xinran fired a shot to prevent his colleagues from chasing.
Wang Xinran didn't answer Wu Zhongyuan's words, but asked, "Where's the black suit? Isn't she with you all the time?"
"She's gone." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"I know she's gone," Wang Xinran said. "I talked to Wang Cuihua before you came back. What I asked was where did she go?"
Wang Xinran doesn't have to answer him, or he doesn't have to answer Wang Xinran's question, "You really don't arrest me?"
"You didn't break the law, why did we arrest you?" Wang Xinran asked rhetorically.
"Then why did you arrest me before?" Wu Zhongyuan pouted.
"Your case did not attract enough attention from your superiors before. Our section has been handling it all the time. It is the decision of the section chief to arrest you and deceive you." Wang Xinran said.
"Really?" Wu Zhongyuan cup bow and snake shadow.
"Believe it or not." Wang Xinran was annoyed.
"You really won't take my things?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
"What exactly is in your backpack? Are you so afraid of people?" Wang Xinran squinted.
At this time, the car had already driven to the vicinity of the village. Wu Zhongyuan pointed the direction and asked Wang Xinran to drive the car to the vicinity of the sheep pen. After getting off the car, he went to change clothes in the wooden shed where the forage was stored, and checked the contents of his backpack. It's not wet or lost, it's all there.
When I came out of the wooden shed, I found that Wang Xinran was talking to the Yao family woman. He had escaped earlier, and someone in the village saw him. At this time, Wang Xinran was explaining to the Yao family woman that he was not a fugitive.
Wu Zhongyuan had never asked the Yao family's woman's name before, but he told Wang Xinran just now that he knew her name was Wang Cuihua. After he came out, he said goodbye to Wang Cuihua and told her to take good care of Abo.
Getting back into the car, Wang Xinran drove away from the village.
“Should I find a place to put you down and let you hide the contents of your backpack first?” Wang Xinran asked.
"Who are you laughing at?" Wu Zhongyuan was unhappy. "I wasn't so suspicious, and it wasn't all your fault. If I lied to you twice, would you still believe me?"
"Don't be yours," Wang Xinran was no longer happy, "you know, I was also kept in the dark by them."
"Well, I can't blame you," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "by the way, you helped me escape last time, and you didn't get punished after returning?"
"If you have a major demerit, is it considered a punishment to be removed from your post?" Wang Xinran asked rhetorically.
"Alas." Wu Zhongyuan sighed.
"What are you sighing? Listening to Wang Cuihua, you seem to be having a good time with black suits?" Wang Xinran was eccentric.
"Don't talk about this," Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, "Why are you chief looking for me?"
Wang Xinran said, "He didn't tell me the specific details, but according to my guess, he should want to help you."
"Help me? What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan was puzzled.
Wang Xinran lowered the car window and lit a cigarette, "He may have some clues that we didn't know, or he may have discovered some problems that we hadn't discovered before, I don't know exactly what it is, he will later I should tell you personally."
"Is this person trustworthy?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"I can't answer you this question," Wang Xinran shook his head, "but I can confirm one thing, this is also recognized by all of us who know Director Li, Director Li is very upright and never lies , he won't promise what he can't do, and what he promises will definitely be fulfilled."
"That's good." Wu Zhongyuan nodded.
"I have a request." Wang Xinran said.
Seeing Wang Xinran's solemn words, Wu Zhongyuan was a little puzzled, "What?"
Wang Xinran threw away the cigarette **** and went up to the car window, "Since Director Li has suspended the work of Section Chief Gao, it shows that he thinks the work that Section Chief Gao did before is wrong, so I guess Chief Li may help When you return to your era, the 18th Bureau is full of talented people. He may assign or ask you to choose some helpers who you think can help you according to the actual needs of the situation. Dangerous, just exclude me."
"Really?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned and tilted his head.
Wang Xinran said, "Really, we had a conversation on the way here, his views on this matter coincide with what you told me before, and he also thinks that since you don't belong here, you should Sending you back to where you belong and keeping you here will have an unknown impact on the security of the country and the people."
"Does he really think so?" Wu Zhongyuan asked eagerly.
"Yes," Wang Xinran nodded, "he thinks you are a great safety hazard, but he will not try to control you like Section Chief Gao, because doing so is equivalent to prolonging the existence of the hidden danger, I guess he will try his best to help you, provide you with all-round support, try to open the wormhole as soon as possible, and send you, the **** of plague, away..."
