Chapter Seventy-One: Helping Others
It was not a pleasant thing to be regarded as a hidden danger, but Wu Zhongyuan was very happy, but he did not show excitement, but said casually, "Why do you want to send away the plague god?
Wang Xinran deliberately drove slowly, trying to say a few more words to Wu Zhongyuan before going back, "I guess they haven't considered this idea of yours, but there are two reasons why they finally dispelled this idea." ”
"What?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"First, you are a law-abiding citizen, and although you have posed a threat to social stability and national security, you have no subjective intention to endanger national security, and we have no right to deprive you of your life......
"I hate to listen to officials, but this one sounds very pleasant to me. Wu Zhongyuan interjected.
Wang happily glanced at Wu Zhongyuan and continued, "Second, you come from the past, not the future, changing the things of the past will have an unknown impact on the present, the older the era you belong to, the greater the impact on the present after your accident, can you understand my words?"
"If people 500 years ago were branches, people 5,000 years ago were trunks. Wu Zhongyuan said that the population of the Central Plains region was very small five thousand years ago, and the tribe to which he belonged was one of the three major tribes, and it was only tens of thousands of people, and it was roughly estimated that the total population of the Central Plains at that time was one or two million, and these people were the ancestors of modern people.
"That's roughly what it means," Wang said happily, "If you talk to Director Li for a while, I can't interject casually, what to say and what not to say, you can weigh it yourself." ”
"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned.
"Pretend to be confused, right?" Wang Xinran glanced at Wu Zhongyuan again, "You must be holding back your anger now, but Section Chief Gao has been suspended, talk to Director Li for a while, try to restrain your emotions, don't throw your face at Director Li and lose your temper." ”
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer.
Wang Xinran couldn't say anything to Wu Zhongyuan anymore, because the car had already driven near Director Li.
At this time, another car also drove over, and Director Li motioned for the driver and assistant to take another car, and he got into the car of Wang Xinran and Wu Zhongyuan.
"Xiao Wu, haven't you had lunch yet?" asked Director Li.
Wu Zhongyuan wanted to smile kindly, but he smiled very reluctantly.
"Xiao Wang, find a restaurant and have a light meal. Director Li ordered.
It is said to be a light meal, it is really a light meal, the steamed bun shop in the town eats steamed buns, a big meat bun for five yuan, and two small cold dishes.
The buns were large, with more than a dozen tables, mostly herdsmen and workers, the concrete floor was dark and damp, and the air was filled with the smell of toiling people, the smell of meat and sweat mixed with the smell of cheap liquor.
Exquisiteness and hypocrisy are two different things, Wu Zhongyuan is a particular person, but he is not hypocritical, although Director Li is in a high position, he is not picky about the dining environment, ten big buns, three people share, one person eats, and the extra one makes Director Li sandwich it on Wu Zhongyuan's plate.
Wu Zhongyuan was not polite, so he ate the remaining side dishes in a big gulp.
When Wu Zhongyuan ate the last bun, Director Li asked the waiter to bring a bottle of liquor and two large bowls.
Looking at Director Li's posture, Wu Zhongyuan was a little stunned, this is a fifty-six degree red star second pot head, what is this for?
He guessed correctly, a bottle of liquor was divided into two bowls, and Director Li took one bowl by himself, "Xiao Wu, our work is not in place, and when you have practical difficulties, we can't give you corresponding help in time." When you believe in us, we also betray your trust and let you be wronged, come, let's drink one. ”
After listening to Director Li's words, Wu Zhongyuan's heart warmed, and he reached out and picked up the bowl of two pots on the table.
Director Li drank first, Wu Zhongyuan followed, Director Li drank boldly, Wu Zhongyuan drank guilty, he rarely drank alcohol on weekdays, the second pot head was spicy and choking, more difficult to drink than Huoxiang Zhengqi water, gritted his teeth and barely drank it.
"Thank you, Director Li. Wu Zhongyuan put down the wine bowl and thanked him sincerely.
"No, no, no," Director Li waved his hand, "I should thank you, thank you for your trust in us, and thank you for your support of our work." Tell me, what do you need us to do?"
Wu Zhongyuan was stunned, he didn't expect Director Li to be so hearty, straight to the point, and open and honest.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was stunned, Wang Xinran touched him from under the table, and Wu Zhongyuan came back to his senses, "This, this, I'll think about it first." ”
"Okay, don't worry, you think slowly," Director Li turned his head to look at Wang Xinran, "make us some tea." ”
"Director, let's talk from another place. Wang said happily.
"No, let's just say a few words here, I have an emergency meeting to preside over in the evening, and I need to rush back as soon as possible. Director Li said.
Wang happily replied 'yes', and then got up and asked the boss for tea.
I don't know if it was because of the drinking, or if I didn't expect to get official help in advance, Wu Zhongyuan couldn't think of what he needed Director Li's help to do for a while.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had not spoken, Director Li said, " In this way, let me first briefly explain to you the situation of our sub-bureau, although our sub-bureau is affiliated with national security, it is under the direct leadership of the Military Commission, mainly responsible for dealing with some more sensitive issues, the so-called sensitive issues, that is, some things that are not easy for the people to understand, we are all staunch materialists, in our opinion, there is no supernatural thing, the so-called supernatural, in fact, is beyond the scope of science can explain some things, we believe that all mysterious events can be explained by science, and this is indeed the case, but not everyone can objectively understand and look at this kind of thingIn order to avoid causing unnecessary panic among the people, it is not convenient for us to disclose some of the things we deal with to the outside world, and the outside world does not know that there is such a department as us. ”
Director Li said this, Wang Xinran took the teapot back, it was an iron teapot, and a thick layer of oil was attached to the body of the pot, Wang Xinran tried to wipe off this layer of oil with a paper towel, but the oil was too thick to wipe off, so he had to give up in the end.
After pouring tea for the two, Wang Xinran turned around and wanted to leave, but Director Li called out to her, "You can sit down too." ”
Wang happily stopped and turned around, and sat down in his chair.
Director Li continued, "It's useless if you know our organizational structure, so I won't talk about it. As for the scope of our authority, it is still relatively large, and in most areas of the territory, we have the power to enforce the law, and of course, we will not interfere with and affect the work of local law enforcement departments unless we encounter a particularly urgent situation. ”
Speaking of this, Director Li took a sip of the water cup, frowned and shook his head, "Oops, this tea is too unpalatable, you better not drink it, drink water." ”
Wang smiled happily, Wu Zhongyuan also smiled, people without a frame always make people feel very close.
"The more you talk, the longer it gets," Director Li put down the water glass, "Let's make a long story short, I already understand your situation, we have decided to fully support you, no matter what convenient help you need, we will try our best to meet it, ask for people, we have all kinds of talents for you to choose from." We also have a little money, but not a lot, after all, the budget allocated every year is limited. ”
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had not reacted, Wang Xinran touched him under the table again, and Wu Zhongyuan reacted, "Thank you, Director Li." ”
"You're welcome, this is what we should do," Director Li raised his hand and looked at his watch, and then said, "If you feel the need, we can send someone to help you, if you think it's not necessary, and you want to do something yourself, it's okay, we won't interfere too much, but you must pay attention to safety." ”
Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Thank you, Director Li, if you can, I hope Wang Xinran can stay and help me." ”
"Okay, you are also old acquaintances, so I will leave Xiao Wang to you. Director Li readily agreed, and then said happily to Wang, "You must ensure the safety of Comrade Xiao Wu, and after I go back, I will transfer your authority to the second level to facilitate your work." ”
"Thank you, Director. Wang Xinran looked like he had won Shang Fang's sword.
"No thanks, it's just temporary. Director Li said with a smile.
Wang Xinran nodded again and again, and then said to Wu Zhongyuan, "You don't have anything to say to the director except thank you?"
Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while, then turned his head to look at Wang Xinran, "Do you still have Wu Qianshan's information in your phone?"
"Wu Qianshan?" Wang Xinran didn't think of this person for a while.
"It's the Qing Dynasty soldier with chromosomal abnormalities. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Yes. Wang Xinran took out his mobile phone, found out the information related to Wu Qianshan, and then handed the mobile phone to Wu Zhongyuan.
Wu Zhongyuan flipped to the photo of Wu Qianshan's funeral goods, enlarged it, pointed to the white jade and said to Director Li, "I need this jade." ”
Director Li leaned closer to the screen and glanced at it, nodded and then said happily to Wang, "You deal with it." ”
"Yes. Wang nodded happily.
Wu Zhongyuan said again, "This is not an ordinary piece of jade, it is the key to my return, I suspect that it contains some kind of special energy, please use an instrument to test it, see what this energy is, and whether it can be artificially made and replenished." ”
"Okay, thank you again for trusting us. Director Li looked at his watch again.
Seeing that Director Li frequently looked at his watch, Wu Zhongyuan knew that he was leaving, and wanted him to help find Lin Qingming, but after hesitating, he was still embarrassed to bring it up, Lin Qingming was a murderer, and it was a bit difficult to ask the official to help find him, in case he found it, whether people would arrest him or not.
"Alright, I have to go," Director Li stood up.
Previously, when Wang Xinran went to get the tea, the account had been settled, and Director Li got up and walked directly out of the door, at this time another car was parked across the road, and the entourage was also nearby.
Wang happily handed over the car keys to the driver, and then helped Director Li open the car door.
Director Li didn't get into the car immediately, but turned to Wu Zhongyuan and said, "Xiao Wu, we have an idiom in China called seeking skin with a tiger, that is a very dangerous thing, it is a tiger, sooner or later it will bite people, you must not underestimate the professional ethics of others." ”
Wu Zhongyuan nodded, Director Li's words are meaningful, "people" naturally refers to Zhao Ying, Director Li's meaning is also obvious, don't think that Zhao Ying gets along with him very happily because he has affection for him, and people are here to complete the work.
Director Li got into the car, and Wang happily closed the door.
Director Li lowered the glass of the car, nodded at Wu Zhongyuan with a smile, and the car started and drove eastward, followed by the second car.
Seeing the two cars leave, Wang Xinran patted Wu Zhongyuan on the shoulder, "How is it? Isn't our director very courageous?"
Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly, people in high positions always have reasons for being in high positions, Director Li not only has courage, but also has a strong personality charm, and has the courage to admit the mistakes of himself and his subordinates, which ordinary people can't do.
Wang happily lit a cigarette and took a puff, "Where are you going now?"
"To the airport, I'm going on a plane. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Where are you flying?" Wang asked happily.
"I haven't thought about it yet, so I'll talk about it. Wu Zhongyuan said that on the way here, he thought countless times about how good it would be if he could come by plane, and now he can take a plane, and he no longer has to worry about pickpocketing.
As soon as he said go, Wang happily beckoned to stop a taxi, and the two got into the car and went straight to the airport.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had not spoken, Wang Xinran asked, "What do you want?"
Wu Zhongyuan turned his head to look at her and shook his head.
"Are you thinking of the tiger?" the king gladly looked at him.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head again, he really didn't think about Zhao Ying, because he gave Zhao Ying enough things for her to pay for, and he didn't feel indebted to Zhao Ying. There is also the fact that Zhao Ying was sent by the Western hostile forces after all, not to help him unconditionally, but to ask for something, and anything Zhao Ying gets will eventually fall into the hands of the Western hostile forces. In addition to these two points, there is also the most important reason, that is, the stone tablet clearly states that you must stay away from Zhao Ying, otherwise you will kill her. Leaving her is actually protecting her.
"Tell me, where do you want to go? Wang happily urged.
Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while and said, "Let's go back to school." ”
"What did you say?" Wang Xinran frowned suddenly, "Why are you going back, you're afraid that she won't find you, right?"
"The school has a place to eat and live. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"No, you can't go back, it's not safe there. Wang happily shook his head again and again.
"Okay, then don't go back, let's go back to the provincial capital first. Wu Zhongyuan said.
Wang happily nodded in agreement and began to book tickets on his mobile phone.
The northwest region is not as inland as the mainland, there are few airports here, and the two of them spent more than 400 yuan to go to the airport by car.
Because they had communicated with the airport in advance, the two of them only went through the security check when they arrived at the airport, and went directly through the internal passage, the two of them were now wearing prohibited items, Wu Zhongyuan was still drinking red-faced, and if they didn't communicate in advance, they wouldn't be able to get on the plane at all.
Wu Zhongyuan took a plane for the first time, and after drinking, he was dizzy and uncomfortable.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, the plane landed, and the two got into the taxi again.
"Where?" the driver asked.
"Go near the provincial library. Wu Zhongyuan said.
Wang Xinran didn't ask Wu Zhongyuan why he went to the library, and he didn't need to ask this question, he naturally went to the library to check the information.
After fiddling with the phone a few times, Wang Xinran suddenly clenched his fists excitedly, "Wow!"
Wu Zhongyuan turned his head in confusion, and Wang happily showed his mobile phone to Wu Zhongyuan, "The second-level authority has been opened!"
Without waiting for Wu Zhongyuan to see the screen clearly, Wang Xinran took back his mobile phone and smiled while clicking.
"What is the second-level authority?" Wu Zhongyuan was curious.
"You don't understand it. Wang said happily.
"What level are you?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"Level eight. Wang said happily.
"After mentioning the second level, do you have a lot more power?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
"Power and authority are not the same thing, but they are pretty much the same. Wang happily tapped the phone screen quickly.
"What can you do with second-level permission?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
Wang Xinran glanced at the driver in front of him, "Don't ask, I'll tell you when I get to the hotel." ”
"Can you stay in a hotel for free?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"Of course, there's so much that Level 2 clearance can do......"
