Chapter 70: The General
As the so-called face is born from the heart, some people have long roe deer eyes and rat eyes, and they don't look like good people at first glance, and some people have kind eyebrows and kind eyes, which makes people feel close at a glance, and the old man who speaks belongs to the latter, and when he saw this person at first sight, Wu Zhongyuan instinctively judged that this person was trustworthy.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan stopped swimming downstream, the old man opened the car door, got out of the car, and beckoned to Wu Zhongyuan with a smile, "Come on, it's cold in the water." ”
Wu Zhongyuan did not immediately dock, but floated on the surface of the water and tilted his head to look at the old man, and after a closer look, he found that this person should be about sixty-five years old, with gray hair, a Chinese face, medium height, wearing a very casual casual clothes, and a pair of very old soft leather shoes on his feet.
If you just look at the appearance, this person is not much different from those retired grandfathers of state-owned enterprises, but this person's popularity is detached, between the eyebrows there is Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and the color remains unchanged, and there is calmness and calmness in his eyes.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was still hesitating, the old man took out a red ID card from his jacket pocket, opened it and showed it to Wu Zhongyuan, "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Li Wanli, I am the current director of the 18th National Security Bureau, this is my military ID, you can take a look." ”
Wu Zhongyuan is about seven or eight meters away from the old man at this time, he knows qigong, his eyesight is better than ordinary people, the old man holds the certificate with a photo of the old man, and the old man's name, date of birth, military rank and work unit are clearly written.
The old man's name is Li Wanli, born in March 1950, with the rank of major general, and the post of director of the 18th Branch of the National Security Bureau.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had not yet come ashore, Wang Xinran was worried that Director Li would be dissatisfied, so he hurriedly walked over and explained, "Director, don't blame him, he has become a frightened bird now." ”
"Don't blame him, I can understand," Director Li waved his hand and turned to Wu Zhongyuan and said, " Comrade Xiao Wu, I have to apologize to you, there are still many problems in the working methods of some comrades in the sub-bureau, and their understanding of the relevant policies on national security is not sufficient, their work attitude is simple and rude, and the bureaucratic style has not been well overcome. ”
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 modest and sincere.
Wang Xinran saw that Wu Zhongyuan was still in the water, and hurriedly threw a urging look at him, and at the same time secretly hooked his hand, 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 his hand at them, signaling them not to approach.
When Wu Zhongyuan swam to the shore, Wang Xinran stretched out his hand and pulled him up.
After going ashore, Wu Zhongyuan immediately let go and retreated, keeping a certain distance from Wang Xinran.
Wang Xinran threw a disdainful look at Wu Zhongyuan.
"Comrade Xiao Wu, hello. Director Li took the initiative to stretch out his hand.
Wu Zhongyuan was very nervous, the other party was in a high position was one of them, and the other was worried that the other party would take the opportunity to make trouble, as Wang Xinran said before, he has now become a frightened bird.
Although he was nervous, he still stretched out his hand, and Director Li held his hand tightly, "I am also responsible for this matter, I have been busy with work recently, I have not been able to pay enough attention to your affairs, and 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, "Do you have a change of clothes?" ”
"In the village. Wu Zhongyuan said.
In fact, he only had a change of clothes, in his backpack, and the reason why he said this was to test Director Li's sincerity.
After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Director Li turned his head to look at Wang Xinran, "Xiao Wang, you take Xiao Wu back to change clothes, we are waiting for you here." ”
"Yes. Wang Xinran agreed, and then said to Wu Zhongyuan, "Get in the car, what are you doing in a daze?"
Wu Zhongyuan came back to his senses and got into the off-road vehicle with Wang Xinran left and right.
Wang happily turned around and drove in the direction of the village.
"Our director is here in person, why are you still suspicious of being clever?" Wang Xinran asked with a frown.
"What?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.
"We've been to Yao's house, and you don't have any clothes left there. Wang said happily.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, since Wang Xinran knew that he left the village with unwashed clothes, 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 actually to give the two of them a chance to be alone, so that Wang Xinran could further explain some things to him.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan's frozen lips were dark, Wang happily glanced at him, "The clothes in the bag are not wet, right? ”
The backpack had been held on Wu Zhongyuan's head, and he knew that the contents were not wet, but he didn't change his clothes immediately, but asked, "How did you find me?"
"You can guess first. Wang said happily.
"Satellite?" Wu Zhongyuan said.
Wang shook his head happily.
"You installed a bugging device at Yao's house?" Wu Zhongyuan guessed again.
Wang Xinran shook his head again.
"When I went to the slaughterhouse, there were road surveillance ...... along the way"
Wang Xinran waved his hand to interrupt Wu Zhongyuan's words, "Forget it, don't guess, I'll tell you the truth, there are people with special functions in our bureau, and they are looking for you to use supernatural methods." ”
Wu Zhongyuan was taken aback, "Special function, since you have special function, why didn't you use it earlier?"
"There are several departments in our bureau, and those people belong to other departments, and our section chief has no right to transfer them, otherwise you would have been arrested long ago. Wang said happily.
"Where's your section chief?" asked Wu Zhongyuan.
"I've been suspended," Wang said with a smile, "No, I should say that I went on a long vacation, and the director gave him two years of leave." ”
"Really?" Wu Zhongyuan confirmed.
"Really," Wang nodded happily, "I was originally sent to another department, and the director transferred me back after he came back." ”
"Are you involved by me?" Wu Zhongyuan felt guilty, and Wang Xinran did not hesitate to fire a gun to prevent his colleagues from chasing him in order to help him escape.
Wang Xinran didn't answer Wu Zhongyuan's words, but asked, "What about the black suit? Isn't she always with you?"
"She's gone. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"I know she's gone," Wang said happily, "I talked to Wang Cuihua before you came back, and I asked where she went?"
Wang Xinran can not answer his words, and he can also not answer Wang Xinran's question, "You really don't arrest me?"
"You didn't break the law, why should we arrest you?" Wang Xinran asked rhetorically.
"Then why did you arrest me before?" Wu Zhongyuan pouted.
"Your case has not attracted enough attention from the superiors before, and it has always been handled by our section, and it is all a personal decision made by the section chief to arrest you and deceive you. Wang said happily.
"Really?" Wu Zhongyuan cupped the bow snake shadow.
"Believe it or not. Wang was annoyed.
"You really won't take my things?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
"What the hell do you have in your backpack, so scared?" Wang glared happily.
At this time, the car had already driven to the vicinity of the village, Wu Zhongyuan pointed the direction, asked Wang Xinran to drive the car to the vicinity of the sheepfold, and after getting out of the car, he went to the wooden shed where the forage was stored to change his clothes, and checked the things in the backpack, which were not wet or lost, they were all there.
When he came out of the wooden shed, he found that Wang Xinran was talking to the Yao family woman, he had fled earlier, and someone in the village saw it, and Wang Xinran was explaining to the Yao family woman that he was not a fugitive at this time.
Wu Zhongyuan had never asked what the name of the Yao family woman was, and when he told Wang Xinran just now, he knew that this person's name was Wang Cuihua, and after coming out, he said goodbye to Wang Cuihua, and told her to take good care of Abo.
Re-getting into the car, Wang happily drove away from the village.
"Shall I find a place to put you down and let you hide the contents of your backpack first?" Wang asked happily.
"Who are you laughing at?" Wu Zhongyuan was unhappy, "I wasn't so suspicious in the first place, and it wasn't all caused by you." If I lied to you twice, would you still believe me?"
"Don't be yours," said Wang Xinran, "as you know, I have been 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 you went back, right?"
"If you have a major demerit, does the transfer from your post count as a punishment?" Wang Xinran asked rhetorically.
"Alas. Wu Zhongyuan sighed.
"Sigh, listen to Wang Cuihua, you seem to get along with the black suit quite happily?" Wang Xinran was angry.
"Don't talk about this," Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, "What are you director 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 happily lowered the window and lit a cigarette, "He may have some clues that we didn't know, or he may have found some problems that we didn't find before, I don't know what they are, he should tell you in person later." ”
"Is this person trustworthy?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"I can't answer this question to you," Wang Xinran shook his head, "but one thing I can be sure of is that this is also recognized by all of us who know Director Li, Director Li is a very upright person, never deceives people, he will not promise what he can't do, and what he promised will definitely be fulfilled." ”
"That's good. Wu Zhongyuan nodded.
"I have a request. Wang said happily.
Seeing Wang Xinran's solemn words, Wu Zhongyuan was a little puzzled, "What?"
Wang happily threw away the cigarette butt and raised the window, "Since Director Li suspended Section Chief Gao's work, it shows that he thinks that Section Chief Gao's previous work was wrong, so I guess Director Li is likely to help you return to your time, the 18th Branch is full of talents, he may assign or let you choose some helpers that you think can help you according to the needs of the actual situation, and then you must not exclude me because this matter is dangerous." ”
"Really?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned and tilted his head.
Wang Xinran said, "Really, we had a conversation on the way here, and his views on this matter coincided with what you told me before, and he also thought that since you don't belong here, you should be sent back to your place, and staying 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 nodded happily, "He thinks you are a great security hazard, but he will not try to control you like Section Chief Gao, because that is equivalent to prolonging the existence of the hidden danger, I estimate that he will do his best to help you, provide you with all-round support, and strive to open the wormhole as soon as possible and send you away, the plague god......"
