Feng Hong didn't speak immediately after getting into the car and sitting down, but frowned and groaned, and only slowly spoke after a long time, "Do you think Lin Zuotao has gone too far this time?" ”

Li Xiaoning snorted coldly and did not answer, but that cold snort already represented his attitude.

"From the perspective of ordinary people, what Lin Zuotao did this time is indeed excessive, but if you know what Lin Zuotao has experienced before, you will not think that his approach is excessive." Feng Hong sighed and said.

Li Xiaoning still didn't answer, waiting for Feng Hong's next words.

Feng Hong said slowly: "Lin Zuotao looks very big and arrogant on the surface, but it is all an illusion, in fact, his heart is very sensitive, and the reason why he pretends to be that is actually just to hide his heart." ”

After a pause, Feng Hong continued: "I know that you have a lot of opinions about Lin Zuotao, thinking that he deliberately set you up before and didn't let you do things. In fact, I supported him at the beginning. ”

"Oh? It turned out to be Ambassador Feng's meaning, so it's no wonder. Li Xiaoning said with a sneer.

Feng Hong didn't care about the sarcasm in Li Xiaoning's tone, and then said: "Your resume is perfect, but the work of the embassy is very special, and the second generation of officials and people who are not involved with the top are actually not suitable for the work here." To put it bluntly, we all thought you were here to be gilded, so we didn't want to hinder you from making it or interfere with the normal work of our embassy. Of course, our initial assumptions turned out to be wrong. Here, I formally apologize to you. ”

"I accept your apology." Li Xiaoning nodded and said, "But what you said doesn't excuse what Lin Zuotao did." He's gone too far, and there's no way I'm going to forgive him. ”

"It's understandable, he's done a little bit too much." Feng Hong did not refute Li Xiaoning's statement, but followed his words and said, "However, as I said just now, this is actually inseparable from Lin Zuotao's previous experience. ”

"Then I'd like to hear what kind of experience can make him trample on the dignity of others in this way." Li Xiaoning sneered again and said.

Feng Hong said: "Lin Zuotao had an assistant who was also a very good young officer, Lin Zuotao leaned on him as an arm and didn't hide anything from him, but in the end he found out that this assistant was actually a binocular spy, and directly led to the leakage of our list of field agents in the United States, and was almost wiped out." You know, it's all elites, and it's an intelligence network that took decades to build. Until now, our losses have not been made up, and there are only a limited number of field agents available, and many tasks have to be done by comrades from the Military Attache Department.

Since then, Lin Zuotao has not trusted anyone, which is why he has a bad relationship with the other two military attaché assistants. ”

Li Xiaoning listened to Feng Hong's narration and couldn't help frowning, although he knew that the embassy was actually a legitimate intelligence agency, but he himself was still far away from the life of a spy, and he didn't expect the intelligence work to be so cruel and sinister. The most unacceptable thing in this world is betrayal, especially betrayal by someone you trust very much. This matter is enough to drive anyone crazy, and Lin Zuotao is forgivable for being hit by such a blow, and his actions are excessive.

"Lin Zuotao is a seventh-dan black belt in judo." Feng Hong added.

When Li Xiaoning heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning again. He understood what Feng Hong meant by this, that is, when he was beating Lin Zuotao, Lin Zuotao actually didn't resist at all, otherwise with his seventh-dan judo black belt, he would never lose his ability to resist if he was grabbed by the neck. You must know that judo is best at hand-to-hand grappling.

Li Xiaoning also understands why Lin Zuotao did this, that is, although Lin Zuotao made those previous actions because he didn't trust Li Xiaoning, he actually knew in his heart that what he had done was a bit excessive, he deliberately let Li Xiaoning beat him up violently, so that Li Xiaoning could vent his anger.

"You go back and rest for a while, and then we'll discuss your work when we're done." Feng Hong said calmly as if he had seen through what Li Xiaoning was thinking. In this way, it actually shows that he knows that Li Xiaoning will not leave.

After a few days, Li Xiaoning and Lin Zuotao's injuries were almost healed. Lin Zuotao seemed to not remember that Li Xiaoning had beaten him, and began to assign tasks to Li Xiaoning normally, and as he said, almost all the meetings did not avoid Li Xiaoning, and all the information and news that Li Xiaoning knew were transmitted to his desk as soon as possible.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and in this month, Li Xiaoning has basically become familiar with the various work processes of the embassy and the specific operation of the military attache office. As Feng Hong said, because of the lack of field agents, the Military Attache Office now undertakes a lot of work that should be done by field agents, such as surveillance, rebellion, stealing intelligence, etc., and even some dirty work.

During this period, Li Xiaoning also followed two field missions, and the words and deeds that the mysterious Sister Fei had left for him played a great role, plus he was very skilled, and the two missions were completed very well. According to Lin Zuotao's assessment, Li Xiaoning was born to be a spy agent, and he already has the ability and psychological quality to go out on field missions independently.

February 12 was Li Xiaoning's birthday, and the embassy gave him a holiday. Tang Wei bought a house in Washington not long ago, and Li Xiaoning plans to live a two-person life with Tang Wei today. However, Tang Wei is about to give birth, and the life of husband and wife is impossible, but candlelight dinners and the like are still indispensable.

The two did not choose to go out to eat, but Li Xiaoning cooked by himself. Although the two are not married, they have already regarded each other as their lifelong partners, and Li Xiaoning also enjoys this feeling of home.

When Li Xiaoning brought the last dish to the table, an urgent news was playing on the TV...... Citizens of the United States, according to the Constitution, you have a President, a Vice President, and a Secretary of State, and in that order, the President decides whether or not to be succeeded by the Vice President......"

Li Xiaoning was stunned for a moment, looked at Tang Wei who was watching TV, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"The President of the United States has been assassinated!" Tang Wei's face was also surprised.

"Are you dead?" Li Xiaoning asked anxiously.

"I don't know." Tang Wei shook her head and said, "The news says that he is undergoing surgery. ”

"Who is the assassin?" Li Xiaoning asked again.

"Said to be a Chinese man......"

"shit" Li Xiaoning couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and his mobile phone rang unexpectedly......
