There were so many people in the embassy, and Lin Zuotao knew about Li Xiaoning's banquet for his colleagues from the Military Attache Office later that day. He did not choose to turn a blind eye, but directly made an appointment with Li Xiaoning.

After a simple politeness, Lin Zuotao said straightforwardly: "Li Xiaoning." I want to remind you that this is the Chinese Embassy in the United States, not any local government where you have been before, there are rules and regulations here, and I don't want you to bring your style of local officialdom here, which will destroy the overall atmosphere of the embassy and affect the normal operation of the embassy. ”

Li Xiaoning was directly angry, it was obvious that Lin Zuotao was not in front of him, but now he turned around and beat him upside down, saying that he had affected the operation of the embassy, how could this be acceptable? Thinking of this, Li Xiaoning sat up straight and said, "Martial Officer Lin, I thank you for your straightforwardness, since you are so direct, then I won't go around in circles with you." I'm saving myself. ”

"Self-help?" Lin Zuotao glared and said, "Who hurt you?" Do you want to save yourself? ”

Seeing Lin Zuotao's innocent expression, Li Xiaoning couldn't help but let out a cold snort and said, "Military Attache Lin, when it comes to this, there is no need to hide it anymore, right?" I said I'm saving myself, but you really don't understand? ”

"How do I understand if you don't tell me?" Lin Zuotao said angrily.

"What did you do yourself, and you don't understand in your heart?" Li Xiaoning sneered.

"You got it right. I don't have time to play pantomime with you here. Lin Zuotao glared at him and said, "What did I do?" ”

"Since you have to let me say it, then let me ask you, do you dare to say that you are not deliberately setting me up?" Li Xiaoning said angrily.

"I was deliberately setting you up, what is there to dare to admit it?" Lin Zuotao still said with an innocent expression.

Lin Zuotao's straightforwardness made Li Xiaoning stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Lin Zuotao to admit that he was setting himself up, and he admitted it so directly, so without a sense of guilt, as if he took it for granted.

After a pause, Li Xiaoning said: "Military Attache Lin, I don't know what your opinion you have about me, and I don't know how I offended you, you want to treat me like this?" ”

Lin Zuotao said lightly: "You didn't offend me, and I have no opinion on you." ”

"Then why are you setting me up? Don't let me do things? "Li Xiaoning was really annoyed by Lin Zuotao's attitude, this guy is too arrogant, right? Empty yourself for no reason, and still act like a nobody, not as bullying people as you do, right?

"I'm doing this for your own good, and for the good of the entire embassy." Lin Zuotao continued to say with a calm expression, "Besides, it's not that I don't want you to do things, it's because you don't want to do what I arranged." ”

Li Xiaoning was really speechless, and said with a smile: "Then I have to ask for advice, Martial Attache Lin, you deliberately set me up, how can you be good for me, how can you be good for the embassy?" ”

"You don't know?" Lin Zuotao said lightly, "I thought you should know." ”

"If you don't say, how do I know?" Li Xiaoning was irritable and took the case.

"Don't get excited, sit down first." Lin Zuotao pointed to the seat, and then said, "Since you asked, then I'll tell you." ”

Lin Zuotao got up and took out a bottle of dry red and two glasses from the wine cabinet behind him, poured a glass for Li Xiaoning and himself, and then sat down and said slowly: "Xiaoning, I told you last time, the embassy is actually a legitimate intelligence base camp, and our military attache office is even more of an intelligence pioneer, this line of work requires professional training, you can't do it...... Don't worry, listen to what I've to say...... To be honest, you have the ability and background, I don't know why the boss sent you here, the most reasonable explanation is to let you come to gild. So, I'm fulfilling you. Don't worry, you don't need to do anything, how about you take the credit? ”

"Not good!" Li Xiaoning didn't buy Lin Zuotao's account at all, and said angrily, "I also tell you the truth, I'm here to do things, not to gild." Don't always prevaricate me with the fact that I can't do it, and I won't brag to you, just know if we're mules or horses coming out for a walk. ”

"Hehe, it seems that you are not convinced!" Lin Zuotao sneered.

"Of course not." Li Xiaoning said without giving an inch, "If you can do it, I'll talk about it when I'm done." I really can't do it, I don't need you to set me up, I'll leave by myself. ”

"Good. Since you're not convinced, let's give it a try. Lin Zuotao put down the wine glass and said, "I happen to have a task here, it is the most basic task, go out to get information, how about it, do you dare to take it?" ”

"Why don't you dare?" Li Xiaoning replied cleanly, "Tell me the time, place, and joint code." ”

"You've watched too many spy war dramas, right? Also the joint code? Lin Zuotao said with a smile, "The people in our embassy are secretly monitored by American agents in and out, and there are all FBI, CIA, and DHS." In this case, it is very difficult for us to meet directly with the informant, so we find a safe place, and the informant puts the information away, and then we go and get it. Of course, this kind of thing stands to reason that it is not your turn to be an assistant military attaché, this is the most common task. But since you want to try, go for it. ”

"Location!" Li Xiaoning asked again.

"Just three blocks north of the embassy, there's a lake, and there's a row of benches by the lake, and the fourth brick in the second row below the third bench from the east is moving, and the information is there." Lin Zuotao said lightly.

"Okay, I'll go now." Li Xiaoning stood up and walked out as he spoke.

"Do you know what to do if you get caught?" Lin Zuotao said with a smile.

"Why don't you put cyanide in my teeth first?" Li Xiaoning replied with a sneer.

"Don't drive, the goal is too big." Lin Zuotao added later.

Li Xiaoning put on his coat, walked out of the embassy through the back door, and walked north. Along the way, he watched carefully to see if anyone was following him. Sure enough, there was really a person wearing a hat who followed him all the way, Li Xiaoning turned a few corners in a row, and the other party followed not far away.

To be sure, this is a stalker.

Since there are stalkers, they must not go straight to the destination, so Li Xiaoning began to wander around the street, walked for a while, and then stopped at a traffic light zebra crossing. Sure enough, the stalker was afraid that he would lose it, so he hurried up and stood not far away, waiting for the traffic light.

It's a small intersection on a main road, and as a rule of thumb, the green light shouldn't last long. The moment Li Xiaoning waited for the red light to turn green, he immediately walked quickly to the other side of the road, and the other party followed again.

After Li Xiaoning and the other stalkers crossed the street, they immediately turned around and ran back to the way they came, and sure enough, when he had just reached a third of the way, the green light turned red, and the stalker had not had time to return at this time.

After Li Xiaoning dodged a few cars, he crossed the road, immediately turned into a small alley, and then quickly left.

Successfully got rid of the stalker.
