Beijing, located in the western suburbs of a confidential department set up a training college. It occupies a small area, surrounded by towering red courtyard walls, and the facilities placed in the playground are completely different from those found in colleges and universities. While other colleges recruit the best students from high schools, this particular college recruits the best students from all the high schools.

On the podium, Second Sister Chen had glasses on the bridge of her nose, and she wore a conservative and professional style of women's clothing, but despite this, when the sun came in from the window and shone on her slender legs, it was easy for the young people below to ignore her nearly sixty years.

"During the Cold War, the former Soviet Union and the United States and other possible countries used espionage to collect secret information on core weapons, which gave rise to many new technologies, and in the past thirty years, the United States has continuously improved its own espionage skills to steal and control the intelligence of their so-called enemies, and with the rapid development of modern technology, espionage technology has become more and more dependent on the use of new technologies, sound wave collection technology, space satellite technology, nanotechnology ......"

Li Muye stood at the door of the classroom and listened very carefully. Second Sister Chen noticed him and didn't say anything. insisted on finishing the class and saying goodbye to the students step by step, and then came to the door, and said with a blank face: "What do you have to say to my office?" ”

in the office.

"If you're here to settle accounts with me, I'm here, as long as you're brave enough to move me, just do it. Second Sister Chen didn't have a good face to give her son, and said coldly: "If you want to come to beg me, I will also disappoint you, I will not compromise on the special affairs!"

"I went to the Foreign Affairs Bureau first, and they told me that you were lecturing here, so I came over. Li Muye said: "I just returned to Beijing, and I just wanted to come and see you." ”

"Oh?" Second Sister Chen was slightly stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and said, "What do I have to look at, have you seen it, is there anything else?"

Li Muye sighed and said, "Originally, I didn't, but now I suddenly remembered a few words, and I feel the need to tell you." ”

"There's something to say. Second Sister Chen lowered her head and carefully sorted out the teaching materials, and reached out to touch the glasses she had just taken off. Li Muye hurriedly went over and picked up the glasses and handed them to her.

"Why do you object so much to me being in charge of the Special Investigation Office? In terms of ability, will I be worse than Huang Yonghao?"

"You're not bad, and it's not too much to say you're stronger. Second Sister Chen put on her glasses, looked at Brother Xiao Ye seriously, and said: "But in my heart, even a freshman with average grades in this academy is more suitable than you, for three reasons, first, you are a charlatan who lacks faith and bottom line, second, you are the son of that person, and third, you are a flawless husband, and you are too deeply involved in the political figures of the United States, just these three points, I can't give you 100% trust, in this industry, as long as there is one percent suspicion, it is enough for me to have to drive you out of that position." ”

"But Brother Ah Hui trusts me 100%, haven't you thought about the reason?"

"It's hard to help my son, let alone my younger brother. Second Sister Chen said: "His opinion does not mean that it is 100% correct, I only respect my thirty-six years of experience and vision in this industry, as far as I can see, you are not here to do this for the sake of faith." ”

"You're being too arbitrary. Li Muye said, "Even if it's not entirely for your so-called beliefs, at least I'm proud to be a Chinese." ”

"I'm not saying you don't love the country, I'm saying that you lack faith. Second Sister Chen said seriously: "Li Muye, since you came to ask me, then I will talk to you about this issue of faith, you were born in an era when faith is constantly weakened, in your life experience, most of the people you have encountered are selfish and self-deceitful evil people, they have a great impact on your life, let you grow into a treacherous and decisive hero, I can't deny that you have excellent observation talent and combat ability, but as the director of the special investigation office, these are not enough." ”

She took a sip of water and continued: "What I mean by faith does not mean that you have not joined any party, but refers to a determination to be absolutely loyal to a certain belief, and party members may also be corrupted, only true faith is unshakable, this point, Chen Binghui has, you don't!" When I say faith, I mean the determination to shed blood for the rise of this country and nation, in your heart, the first place is always the person you care about, family affection, righteousness, any emotional factor that is important to you, may make you betray this belief, so I said that you are a person without faith, understand?"

"Understood. Li Muye nodded calmly and said: "I can't deny that what you said is very reasonable, but I don't plan to make changes, you say that I have no faith, yes, but it's not right, my faith is family, friendship and love, who has treated me gently in this world, I will treat it with sincere love, I have lived in this country since I was a child, these people who have cared for me and loved me are also in this country, so if I can respect you and love you, of course, I will love this great country as much as you." ”

"No matter what you say, I can't trust you. Second Sister Chen was unmoved, and said coldly: "Because you are too shrewd, you can even say that you have cultivated into an immortal in this big river and lake, no matter what I want to hear, you can give me a standard answer, when I see people talking about people, I can use those effective methods on those students outside will not work with you, how can you make me believe you?"

"Speak for yourself. Li Muye said: "I won't quit no matter what, you will have time to establish an understanding of me in the future." ”

Chen Miao suddenly put down the textbook in his hand and said solemnly: "Since you have said it here, then I will remind you one last time, for the sake of the South China Sea, I will not show mercy to your subordinates in the future, there was room for maneuver before because my plan has not yet started, but now, time is running out, I don't have so much time to waste on you, if you become a stumbling block to my plan, I will not hesitate to kick you away!"

Li Muye had heard the same thing from another person many years ago. suddenly remembered the words of my godmother Shi Zhenzhen, your family is like migratory birds from all over the world, destined to the fate of Lao Yan to fly separately.

"I try not to be a stumbling block for you, and if I accidentally do, I try to fix it in time so that I don't trip you. Li Muye smiled and said, "For example, this time, you didn't kick me away, and I shouldn't have tripped you, right?"

"This time, it was Bai Wufang who helped you solve the case of finding the spy in the rivers and lakes of Longmen, and Chen Binghui tried to protect it, so that you could fool the crime of merit and crime, and it will not be so easy next time. Second Sister Chen said in a flat tone: "Although the days in the system are not as sinister as the rivers and lakes, from another point of view, they are even more difficult to mix than the rivers and lakes, you are still early." ”

"You don't have to worry about that. Li Muye smiled: "I always have a way to get by." ”

"Do you really think that your crooked and evil things work?" Second Sister Chen smiled lightly, took off her reading glasses, stood up and said: "I know that you dug the base camp of Xunlongmen, and I also know that you sent that old Ye to send some things to someone through Chen Binghui for you, and what you don't know is that people collected your things and donated them to the museum, let me tell you this, in this system, what you can buy is some worthless goods, and what is really valuable is priceless." ”

Li Muye lowered his head, looked at his nose and nose, looked at his heart, and said calmly: "But I still kept the black gauze hat on my head this time." ”

"Hmph!" Second Sister Chen snorted coldly and said, "That's because you did the right thing, and because there are some things that others can't do for you." ”

"Actually, you did this very unjustly, I obviously made a mistake for you, and in the end, you took yourself out of the official and reinstated yourself, but you turned your face and threw a big black cauldron, almost crushing me down. ”

"Didn't you do it voluntarily?"

"You didn't think why I would do that?"

"I've thought about it before, and I've tried it a bit, but it's a pity that your kid is too slippery, and since you all refuse to say it, I don't bother to think about it now. Second Sister Chen said: "No matter what the reason, you are already such a big person, you have enough ability to make decisions, and you should have enough ability to bear the consequences." ”

"It seems that our mother can only ride a donkey to read the record book in the future......"

"Let's see!" Chen Miao simply answered.

Li Muye glanced at the time and asked, "When are you going to go home?"

Chen Miao said: "I have three classes here every month, and two classes were arranged this morning. ”

Li Muye said: "Then I'll go home and prepare the meal first." ”

Chen Miao hesitated slightly, nodded, and said, "Okay, you prepare one more person's meal." ”

"What?

"An old schoolmate. Chen Miao said: "If you feel troublesome, I can eat out with him." ”

"No, it doesn't matter to me. Li Muye said goodbye and went out.

......

At twelve o'clock at noon, Chen Miao went home on time, and a middle-aged man came back with him, with a slightly fat figure, thick eyebrows like ink, blazing eyes, and quite majestic.

Li Muye recognized this big man who had often seen on TV news before.

The meals are simple but not ugly, and the four dishes and one soup are very finely cooked.

When Chen Miao introduced Li Muye to this person at the dinner table, he said: "Old classmate, this is the kid I mentioned to you, how about it, this skill is not bad." He said to Li Muye again: "I don't need to introduce this one, you can call him the third uncle." ”

Li Muye greeted her as she was instructed and did not say a word.

The third uncle nodded with a smile and said, "I went back to Beijing for a meeting this time, and the schedule was a little tight, and today's lunch was a temporary situation, and there was nothing to prepare." ”

Chen Miao took over the conversation and said, "What are you polite to me, besides, my godson is not a child." ”

The third uncle said: "That's what I said, but I, an elder, have to express something ......when we meet for the first time" Second Sister Chen excused herself a few words, but this person did not insist.

A family banquet, each with a ghost child, the two old ones are calm, but Brother Xiaoye is a little confused about the path of Second Sister Chen.

This person made it clear that Second Sister Chen deliberately dragged her home to show herself. Although she dissociated herself from the man politically, she still maintained an extraordinary connection in personal relationships. It is very likely that this person's return to Beijing from the southeast for a meeting is related to the upcoming important meeting on personnel changes. What is the deep meaning of Second Sister Chen inviting him to the house at this sensitive time?
