The next day, at about six o'clock in the morning, Ma Shenglong opened his eyes in a daze, looked at Li Yuanchao, who was still sleeping on the table, shook his head, took off his coat, walked over and draped it on Li Yuanchao's body, and then slowly walked out of the study.

As soon as he went out, he saw Li Yuanchao's secretary Zhao Zhiwen sitting on the sofa in the corridor, and when he saw Ma Shenglong coming out, he immediately stood up, although his eyes were bloodshot behind a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, he still beat his spirit and nodded politely at Ma Shenglong.

Ma Shenglong also nodded at him, and sighed secretly in his heart, it is really not easy to do anything, no matter how beautiful and beautiful the appearance is, the people of Niu B, who can really understand and appreciate the bitterness and sweat they have paid behind them.

Last night, Ma Shenglong and Li Yuanchao chatted all night and drank all night, and the two of them didn't know how much wine Lu Dao drank, until both of them drank and fell down. Through Li Yuanchao's narration yesterday, Ma Shenglong finally figured out the mystery that he had been confusing in his heart.

……

It turned out that a year ago, Mr. Li, who was the commander of the First Military Region of China, took over a military operation with a top secret level, and the success of this operation directly affected the foundation of the country.

However, since Mr. Li took over this top-secret operation, whether it was near his residence or the office of the military region, he always felt that there were looming strangers, and there always seemed to be traces of someone turning over in his office.

There are all kinds of indications that someone leaked this top-secret operation and attracted the attention of some people, and there must be "internal ghosts" around him, but after a strict investigation by Mr. Li, nothing was found.

In desperation, Old Man Li resolutely asked the leaders of the Central Military Commission for instructions, and on the surface immediately terminated the operation in order to paralyze the enemy, but secretly selected ordinary soldiers with excellent military and political qualities from the units under the military region, transferred them to his side, and sent them to continue to secretly carry out this top-secret operation after passing the inspection.

After layers of screening, Ma Shenglong slowly appeared in the sight of Mr. Li, so he was transferred to his side as a guard, after a period of investigation, Mr. Li was generally satisfied with Ma Shenglong.

Especially on the way to inspect the troops, when Old Man Li was ambushed by a strange killer, Ma Shenglong rushed forward without thinking about the bullet fired at Old Man Li, and the bullet almost hit the heart, and it took three days and three nights to finally snatch a life from the hands of "Lord Yama", which strengthened Old Man Li's determination to use Ma Shenglong.

Just when the people around Mr. Li were saying that this time Ma Shenglong would definitely be directly promoted by Mr. Li, but what surprised Mr. Li was that Mr. Li not only did not upgrade Ma Shenglong, but also did not even praise him verbally, but when Ma Shenglong recovered and returned to his post, he said that he had saved himself, was pampered and arrogant, entered his study to look at confidential documents without his permission, and violated the "Secrecy Regulations" as the reason, and returned Ma Shenglong, who had been with him for less than three months, to the original army.

I was expecting Ma Shenglong to win glory for the troops, but now it's good, the shame was thrown to the commander of the military region, and in a fit of anger, he almost directly expelled Ma Shenglong from the army, and finally under the persuasion of the deputy division commander, he reluctantly agreed to Ma Shenglong's normal discharge.

Ma Shenglong, who wants to be a professional soldier. At that time, he was simply wronged like a modern version of "Dou E", not only no one gave him a chance to defend himself, but he was also forbidden to reveal anything that happened to Mr. Li to others, and he had no choice but to take off his epaulettes, collar flowers, and go home from the army.

……

After listening to Li Yuanchao's explanation of the truth of the matter, Ma Shenglong didn't know what to say about his inexplicable experience. The criteria for choosing oneself are inexplicable, and the next step that Li Yuanchao has assigned to himself is even more inexplicable.

The reason why Mr. Li chose Ma Shenglong was that he was from City A, with an ordinary family background, ordinary appearance, rigorous military training, and strong ability to adapt to the new environment. Other reasons are enough, but does the execution of the task have a dime to do with family background and appearance? , If this is really the reason why Ma Shenglong was chosen, how can you make those "rich and handsome" embarrassed.

The explanation given by Li Yuanchao is that in today's society, only people with ordinary family backgrounds and appearances will be confused in reality in the face of such high housing prices, fierce competition in the employment environment, and a variety of excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and they will not know where they should go, so it is reasonable to mix in the underworld. With such a thunderous explanation, Ma Shenglong could only shake his head and sigh.

Not only that, but Li Yuanchao didn't say a word about the top-secret military operation carried out by Old Man Li, but just said that when Ma Shenglong knew the way, he would naturally tell him. Now I can only tell him that after investigation, the killer who ambushed Mr. Li in that time was from City A, and then there were a bunch of "no" that sounded like a joke in Ma Shenglong.

has no identity, only Old Man Li and Li Yuanchao know the truth, and they are not allowed to tell anyone.

There are no clues, only an anonymous letter revealing signs of contact with the killer in the local black forces in City A.

Without support, the troops will not do him any help in an open and honest manner.

The most shocking thing is that there is no funding for this operation, and the reason is that it has purchased a large number of national bonds, supported the construction of some countries, and donated money and materials to some countries that have suffered from natural disasters.

After Ma Shenglong listened to Li Yuanchao's "no", he directly shook his head like a drum, and didn't do it alive or dead. Regardless of whether Li Yuanchao asked him to put the interests of the country first, the overall situation, or the happiness of hundreds of millions of people, Ma Shenglong just didn't say a word, and even talked about maintaining peace on the earth and protecting the stability of the galaxy, Ma Shenglong just drank and shook his head.

Ma Shenglong is not a fool, even Old Man Li, a "family member" of one of the seven major military regions in China, did not dare to carry out military operations blatantly, let himself do it alone, and the people hidden behind him even dared to assassinate and ambush Old Man Li, what else did they dare not do.

After the last time, Li Yuanchao gave in when Ma Shenglong kept shaking his head and drinking, and promised that only when Ma Shenglong's life was in danger, Li Yuanchao would help him in the name of thanking him for saving his old man, and this was still forced to make Ma Shenglong 3 glasses of liquor in exchange for it, and at the same time, in exchange for Li Yuanchao's personal 100,000 yuan to support Ma Shenglong, but this money was not for Ma Shenglong's activities, it was lent to him, not only to be repaid later, but also to pay interest every month.

Ma Shenglong now vaguely remembers that when Li Yuanchao promised to give him 100,000 yuan, his eyes were red, and he didn't know whether he was drinking or crying in distress.

Even when Li Yuanchao agreed to give Ma Shenglong some support, Ma Shenglong still just wanted to slap himself after he woke up in the morning, was he really stupid to be a soldier, this kind of task was simply not done by people. If you don't say that you were drunk and misunderstood, how could you agree to Li Yuanchao if you weren't stimulated by alcohol?

self-reliance, but also to pay interest; to make a living, but also to mingle in the underworld to find out the news. Don't complete the task, I was hacked to death by the underworld, even if I was not hacked to death by the underworld, I was chased by Li Yuanchao every day and howled for interest, it was a very maddening thing.

……

Ma Shenglong raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was 7:30 a.m., it had been an hour since he came out, and he estimated that Li Yuanchao should also wake up, so he walked back slowly. As soon as I entered the door, I was attracted by a unique object that appeared to be a "knife" hanging on the wall facing the living room.

The reason why I doubt its identity as a "knife" is because it is not the same as ordinary knives, only seven inches long, less than an inch wide, without a scabbard, and the shape is a bit similar to the sickle, all with a little arc, and the blade is open in the arc, but the sickle is a semicircle, and the object that is suspected to be a "knife" is like a child who has just learned to write punctuation marks, and it is written crookedly with a "question mark".

Looking at it, Ma Shenglong, who had always been calm, had an inexplicable light in his eyes, and couldn't help but walk over and play with it in his hand.

Just after freshening up, Li Yuanchao, who came down from the second floor, saw Ma Shenglong looking at the "knife", so he couldn't help but say, "Do you like it?" If you like it, take it. Who is with whom we two brothers? ”

After completing the task assigned to him by Old Man Li and throwing a big headache to Ma Shenglong, Li Yuanchao couldn't help but feel good, looking at Ma Shenglong's eyes was like looking at a fish caught by his own hands. The face of a chicken thief looks like an old fox who has been enlightened for many years.

Ma Shenglong was not polite, picked up the "knife" and pinned it to the belt behind him, took the clothes handed over by Li Yuanchao and put them on the outside, stretched out his hand and said to Li Yuanchao, "Hurry up and bring it, I haven't been home all night, I have to leave quickly." ”

Li Yuanchao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that Ma Shenglong, this kid, was asking for money from himself, and reluctantly took out the 100,000 yuan wrapped in newspaper from his bag, and handed it to Ma Shenglong, while saying to him, "Remember that we said yes, this is a private loan from me, with a monthly interest of four cents, and remember to call my card on time on the 15th of each month." ”

It is really worthy of being a quality person, and the interest rate is definitely not more than 4 times the bank's interest rate in the same period.
