Chapter 0109 - Advisor of the Mystery Department
Long Bing's home furnishings are very simple, most of the furniture and ornaments are a little old, giving people a nostalgic feeling. In her home, Xia Lei felt like entering the home of an old cadre in the TV series.
"These things were left by my parents, and I haven't touched them all these years." Long Bing said.
Xia Lei saw a family portrait on the TV table, a man in military uniform and a woman in military uniform together, and a chubby little girl in the middle. There is no doubt that the little girl in the photo is now Long Bing.
Xia Lei was a little curious in his heart, and said secretly: "Long Bing is only twenty-four or five years old, and she is also four or five years old in the photo, and her parents were still alive at that time, and there has been no war in the past twenty years, how could her parents die in battle?" Could it be that her parents were in the same profession as her, agents or spies? β
He wanted to ask, but he didn't.
"I'll get your room ready." Long Bing said, "You go cook." β
"Huh?" Xia Lei didn't expect Long Bing to let him go to the kitchen to cook when he first went to her house.
Long Bing patted him on the shoulder, "I've seen your cooking skills, and a guest will come later, so you just have a place to use." β
"You're talking about the guest who is going to see me?" Xia Lei said tentatively: "Can you tell me who he is?" β
"No, go cook, there's vegetables and meat in the fridge." Before Xia Lei could say anything, Long Bing had already turned around and walked upstairs.
Xia Lei shrugged his shoulders depressedly, and also walked to the kitchen, muttering in his mouth, "Who does she think of me as hers?" Queen's chef or the queen's servant? It's really ......."
Xia Lei cooks and stir-fries in the kitchen. Long Bing returned to the living room after packing up the guest room, she looked through the information that Chi Jingqiu gave Xia Lei, and then took pictures, called, and sent them to someone. When she had nothing to do, she simply watched TV, and she didn't mean to go to the kitchen to help Xia Lei at all.
Not to mention, Xia Lei felt that she was becoming more and more like a lonely and arrogant queen.
An hour later, Xia Lei stir-fried several dishes, mapo tofu, beef with chopped peppers, boiled pork slices, shredded pork with sauce and tomato egg soup. These dishes are all Sichuan flavors, not northern flavors. But he did it on purpose, who made her sit and watch TV and didn't come to help?
When Xia Lei brought the last course of tomato egg soup to the table, the doorbell rang.
Long Bing got up and went to open the door, and a burly old man entered. His appearance reminded Xia Lei of the golden lion king Xie Xun in the martial arts TV series, because his eyebrows were obliquely long, and his face gave people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant. The only difference is that he has short hair, not blonde hair like Xie Xun.
Xia Leibai has also been under Liang Zhengchun's door for a while, and he has also made certain achievements in practicing the secret Yongchuan passed down by Yan Wing Chun, so he is very sensitive to some things related to martial arts, and as soon as this old man entered the door, he felt something related to martial arts on the other party's body - this old man has the same martial arts aura as Liang Zhengchun!
Who is he?
Xia Lei's heart couldn't help but guess, and he was slightly nervous in his heart.
"Girl, this is the Xia Lei you always talk about, right?" As soon as he entered the door, the old man glanced at Xia Lei and said generously.
It's not polite, but when it comes out of an old man like him, it gives people a sense of "should".
Long Bing seemed to be in awe of this old man, and she nodded her head, "Well, yes, he is the Xia Lei I mentioned to you." Then she said to Xia Lei: "Come here, let me introduce you, this is Shi Boren Shi Lao." β
Xia Lei hurriedly took off his apron and walked over, and said in honorifics: "Hello Shi Lao." When he walked in front of Shi Boren, he took the initiative to stretch out his hands and wait to shake hands with Shi Boren.
In his eyes, Long Bing is already a big person, and this Shi Boren is obviously a bigger figure than Long Bing, and he must be careful when dealing with such a big person.
"Not bad." Shi Boren nodded, stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Xia Lei.
Xia Lei said with a smile: "Shi Lao, knowing that you are coming, I specially fried a few dishes and ate them together." β
Shi Boren didn't move, but suddenly clenched his right hand.
A strange force suddenly came from Shi Boren's palm, and Xia Lei felt that Shi Boren's hand was not a human hand at all, it was simply a vice! Out of instinctive reaction, his right hand also used strength to contend with Shi Boren. For a moment, the hands of both men were bruised, and the bones made a clear and recognizable crunching sound.
"Huh! The kid is hidden! In a word, Shi Boren's left hand suddenly slashed towards Xia Lei's shoulder.
Xia Lei's left hand was raised upward, and the outside of his elbow suddenly blocked Shi Boren's offensive line. The elbow is one of the hardest parts of the human body, and Shi Boren's palm knife slashed at his elbow, and suddenly there was a slight muffled sound, and then it was bounced away.
A look of surprise flashed in Shi Boren's eyes, and he suddenly raised his leg and slammed his knee into Xia Lei's lower abdomen.
Xia Lei leaned forward, his left hand fell down, and his elbow was blocked. The stiff elbows and the stiff knees collided together, and with an even louder thud, he and Shi Boren finally separated.
Long Bing looked at Xia Lei in surprise, he hadn't seen him for a while, how did he become so powerful?
"Good boy, Wing Chun is playing well!" Shi Boren smiled and said, "Boy, where did you learn Wing Chun?" β
Xia Lei said: "Liang Zhengchun is my master. β
"Liang Zhengchun?" Shi Bo Yan recalled a little, and then said: "I know him, the descendant of Yim Wing Chun, the founder of Wing Chun, I have heard of this character in my early years, but I have not seen it. β
Xia Lei said: "My master opened a boxing gym in Haizhu City, he is low-key, and he has always lived in a simple house. β
Shi Boren looked straight at Xia Lei, and his eyes seemed to penetrate Xia Lei's heart, "How long have you been studying Wing Chun?" β
Xia Lei opened his mouth and wanted to talk for more than a month, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, so he changed his words and said, "It's been a while."
Shi Boren's brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't seem satisfied with Xia Lei's answer.
Long Bing interjected and said, "You guys have fought and talked, when are we going to eat?" Compared to Wing Chun, Mr. Shi, you should really try Xia Lei's cooking skills, his cooking skills are even better than his kung fu. β
"Huh? Then I'm going to try. Shi Boren laughed loudly, "Let's eat." β
Xia Lei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly in his heart: "Long Bing just called this Shi Boren the boss, and this Shi Boren must be her boss." Long Bing is already so powerful, this Shi Boren is even more powerful, what department is the department where the two of them are? β
He wanted to ask this question, but he didn't dare to ask. Some people, their identities are state secrets, how can he, an ordinary person, casually inquire into state secrets?
At the table, Shi Boren ate very happily, "I haven't eaten such authentic Sichuan food for a long time, it's enjoyable." β
Long Bing showed a rare smile, "I didn't lie to you, this kind of dish, it's not easy for you to eat even if you go to an authentic Sichuan restaurant." β
Xia Lei reached under the table with a foot and gently kicked Long Bing's ankle. When Long Bing glared at him, he winked at Long Bing.
Xia Lei wanted to suggest that she should not always praise him, which embarrassed him. Long Bing seemed to have a different understanding, and then he winked at him again, and her cheeks flushed slightlyβfirst she was quietly kicked, and then she winked at her, wasn't this an ambiguous hint?
"Hmm......" a strange smile appeared on the corner of Shi Boren's mouth, "Can you two wait for me to leave before doing this?" β
Xia Lei is not embarrassed.
Long Bing's face turned even redder, and she glared at Xia Lei a second time in shame.
It's strange that the first time I saw Long Bing revealing the shame of his daughter's family, Xia Lei felt so charming, and he actually had a subtle feeling of heartbeat. It was this heart-pounding feeling that he suddenly lost control of his left eye, and Long Bing, who was sitting opposite, suddenly lost all her clothes. Snow-white neck, proud peaks, plump and firm, white as jade, and natural gemstones set on the tips of snow-capped mountains......
Fortunately, there was a dining table that blocked it, and Xia Lei also controlled his left eye in time. Otherwise, the most mysterious place of Long Bing was glimpsed by him. But even at a glance, the feeling of amazement is extremely strong. When he caught a glimpse of the two natural gems on the top of the snow-capped mountain, he felt his blood rush to his head, and the fabric of his pants became tense for a second.
Before this, he had never thought of seeing through Long Bing, but this time he didn't know what was going on, this thought came out of nowhere, and even he didn't notice it.
Fortunately, only he knew all this, Long Bing didn't know, and Shi Boren didn't know either.
Full of wine and food, Long Bing cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Shi Boren called Xia Lei to chat in the living room.
"Natsu-chan." Shi Boren's tone was a little more polite, "I'll just say what I mean, I don't like to go around the bend." β
Xia Lei nodded, "I don't like to go around the bend either, please say it directly." β
"Okay, then I'll say it." Shi Boren said: "I asked Long Bing to investigate you, and I am very interested in you. β
In the past, Xia Lei asked Long Bing who asked her to investigate him, but Long Bing didn't say it, and now Shi Boren admitted it himself. After getting the answer, Xia Lei was not surprised at all.
"You are thoughtful, you have amazing skills, and you have a good kung fu, I heard that you can also ...... several foreign languages" Shi Boren shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I really can't figure out why you are so capable, so talented, have you tested your IQ?" β
Xia Lei shook his head, "No." β
Shi Boren said: "You should really test it, I think the value must be frighteningly high." β
Xia Lei knew very well that the reason why he became so "omnipotent" was not actually how high his IQ was, but the reason why his left eye had a special ability, but he couldn't tell Shi Boren about this reason.
After a pause, Shi Boren finally said what he meant, "That's the case, you are a rare talent, I want to recruit you to join my department and serve the country, what do you think?" β
At this time, Long Bing came out of the kitchen after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and she stood next to Shi Boren, looking at Xia Lei with expectant eyes. She seemed to have known Shi Boren's intentions for a long time, but she didn't say anything.
Xia Lei actually had the answer in his heart, but he still pretended to think about it for a while before he said: "Shi Lao, I'm sorry, I have my own company, and there are more than 100 people under my hands who rely on me to eat, and I can't leave them behind." I understand your kindness, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely join your department and serve the country. β
Shi Boren's brows suddenly furrowed.
Long Bing said with a smile: "Mr. Shi, I told you a long time ago that he is very stubborn, he will not do our business, you don't believe it, now you believe it, right?" If I could have pulled him in, I would have pulled him in. β
Shi Boren said again: "You don't think about it anymore? β
Xia Lei stubbornly said: "Elder Shi, I have thought about it very clearly, I ......"
Shi Boren interrupted Xia Lei's words, "Okay, I won't force you, but if I give way, you are not allowed to refuse again." β
"What?" Xia Lei felt a headache.
"Be our advisor." "We don't ask you to participate in all our operations, but we have something we need your help with, and you have to do it," he said. β
"What's the problem?" Xia Lei probed the tunnel.
Shi Boren said: "Just like last time, you helped a girl named Jiang Ruyi solve the case of an archaeology professor, if we have similar needs, you have to help us." Also, if we need to improve something, you'll have to help us. We have something to fix, and you have to help us. β
"Okay, I'll be your advisor." Xia Lei agreed.
Who is Shi Boren? People asked him to be a consultant, although it was a false name, not an actual position, but it was also an invitation that he could afford. Others can't get such an opportunity, and if he refuses again, he doesn't know what to do.
"Okay, that's it." Shi Boren got up and left.
Xia Lei followed and got up to send him off, "Slow down." β
Shi Boren suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "I don't have a salary to pay you here, you don't have an opinion." β
Xia Lei smiled and said, "I have no opinion. β
"Okay, you guys play with yours, you don't have to send me."
Charleigh, "......"
Long Bing, "......"
Shi Boren left the two embarrassed young men, opened the door and left.
