"I'm not interested in this suggestion at all." An Nianrong smiled bitterly. "He's going to end up being vexatious, and I'm going to say he'll realize his mistake, so don't take his advice seriously."

Han Che smiled. "You don't even ask him why he did this?"

"An Jiaqing does everything for a reason, but I've never been interested in his reasons." An Nianrong smiled. "We all have our own things to do, and we don't have much time to see him, and his reasons don't help our relationship anyway, so I think it's more realistic to keep it as it is."

An Nianrong stopped next to her car, but did not get into the car immediately, but stood there holding on to the car 'door'.

"When I feel that I can't handle my work, I may consider An Jiaqing's opinion, but now, I don't have any sense of the public security system, so please tell him, don't bother."

Han Che helped his glasses.

"I'm not the microphone for your father and daughter, if you have anything to say, you can tell him yourself."

An Nianrong smiled at him, then got into the car and waved her hand to Han Che.

After the car drove away, Shi Bao, who was sitting in the front seat, looked back at An Nianrong and smiled, his smile looked very kind.

"Next time, please don't stand next to the car and talk to someone. Director An, this is the most dangerous time, we don't have enough manpower, so we have to shorten the time outside as much as possible. ”

"I know." An Nianrong looked out the window nonchalantly. "But there is no need to worry about this happening in Beijing."

Shi Bao and Yang Falcon exchanged glances, and a knowing smile of "sure enough" appeared on their faces. An Nianrong did not become sentimental because of the attack, which is rare for many men. Some people will protect themselves better after disasters, while others will become more emboldened and contemptuous of these disasters, and An Nianrong is undoubtedly the latter. But it also means that it will be more difficult to protect her.

Her Land Rover is still under repair, and now this B4-level bulletproof Mercedes-Benz is lent to An Nianrong by An Nianping, because the protection level of the B4 is low, An Nianping has ordered a new bulletproof car from Daimler, but it will not be able to 'deliver' the goods until the end of the year, so she can only use this car in Beijing for the time being. Because An Nianping is not at ease with domestic people and technology, so An Nianrong did not mention to An Nianping, her other Land Rover is being modified by the technicians of the original 128 unit, for her, two bulletproof cars are a bit luxurious, but An Nianping's gift is no reason to refuse.

In an unmarked courtyard next to the Academy of Military Sciences, An Nianrong met Mo Xinwei.

In Mo Xinwei's office, only the office director Tang Bai is the companion. This is very close to An Nianrong's speculation, the main content of this meeting is to talk about the cooperation between the two sides in the future, the so-called "informal", that is, the cooperation with An Nianrong must still remain "top secret".

Mo Xinwei is not yet fifty years old, and the whole person looks much younger than his age, with darker skin and thicker lips, at least in appearance, he is not as far as Xu Chenglong, so An Nianrong has no good impression of him. His cigarettes 'smoked' fiercely, and the office that had been neat and tidy now smelled unpleasant, and all the desks had ashtrays, some of which were still full. An Nianrong couldn't help frowning.

Mo Xinwei and Tang Bai both stood up. An Nianrong knows Tang Bai, he was in charge of liaison work during Xu Chenglong's time, and it seems that his position has not changed now. Mo Xinwei is definitely not interested in Xiao Gui Cao's set, but he has just arrived, and all the descendants have not had time to be transferred, so he naturally has to rely on these old men around Xu Chenglong.

"This must be Director An Nianrong." Mo Xinwei enthusiastically stretched out his hand to An Nianrong. "I feel very honored to be able to work with someone like Director An."

An Nianrong also followed with a few polite words. As soon as they met, she felt the strangeness in Mo Xinwei's expression and eyes, but she couldn't tell what it was. Today, she is dressed very simply and conservatively, a high-necked top and blazer that she usually doesn't think about, her long hair is tied in a bun on her head, and she deliberately bought a pair of long 'pants' that are one size larger than usual to make herself look less upside down, but it is obvious that Mo Xinwei's look has any emotions in it, but he doesn't appreciate it.

This is the best, so that we can all pay attention to each other's thoughts directly, An Nianrong smiled in her heart. If Mo Xinwei can not be affected by her beauty, then maybe he can look at his abilities fairly.

Mo Xinwei is really a straightforward person, and after the greetings, he immediately turned to the topic. First of all, he wanted to affirm that the 13 th Special Affairs Office, which is directly under the State Council, should and can give full play to its initiative in its work because of its unique rich resources and information channels, and in principle, the General Staff Department is very willing to cooperate with the Special Office; second, considering that the General Staff Department is a mature and huge system, its operation is completely different from that of the 13 th Special Office, and it is obviously not suitable for cooperating with the Special Office in all matters in terms of flexibility, so it is necessary to divide functions and responsibilities.

"I know that the 13th Office is now responsible for some counter-espionage work, but this part has always been the responsibility of the Second Department of the General Staff Department, and it will not change this working principle in the future, so my opinion is that after finishing the case in hand, the 13th Office will no longer be involved in counter-espionage work, because this is really a suspicion of duplicating work and wasting resources, and the problem we are facing now is that there are more and more problems and difficulties, so we must rationally allocate these resources."

Mo Xinwei's words are very clear: The reform of the intelligence agencies is continuing, and in the long run, this kind of reform is necessary and necessary, and the international situation facing China has not improved because of its own strength, on the contrary, the contradictions and problems will only become more and more arduous and acute, so the General Staff Department should also move in response to the times and provide strong protection and support for the country at all times. In fact, the reform of internal institutions has never stopped. Asking for An Nianrong's support in this name is understandable in terms of position and principle.

But An Nianrong's work is different from Mo Xinwei's, she is a firefighter, when the fire burns her eyebrows, she doesn't need to think about what she is facing, all she has to do is to extinguish the fire, as for how to clean up the mess, it has never been the work content she has to consider. The same is true for counter-espionage work, some work needs to be immediately ended by unscrupulous means, and this is where the ability and responsibility of the 13th Office lies.

"The General Staff Department has its own mechanism to deal with the situation you mentioned, and so far there has been no flaw in this mechanism, and I will continue to trust this body, and the Party Committee will continue to trust this body. To be honest, I haven't found a better and more efficient mechanism in the world. ”

When An Nianrong asked her own question, Mo Xinwei answered her like this.

The new deputy chief of the general staff entered the situation quickly, An Nianrong thought. Although he has repeatedly claimed that he has just taken over the work, he has already considered all the problems maturely, An Nianrong does not believe that a person has such ability, which can only show that before taking over this job, Mo Xinwei has already done enough work.

Could it be that An Nianrong pointed out that it was not the mechanism of the General Staff but the internal personnel that had a problem? She still remembers the conversation with the prime minister at noon very clearly, and the "desire" is not achieved quickly, which is to remind her that while investigating, it is necessary to maintain internal stability, and creating confrontation will obviously not stabilize the situation. That's when she realized how difficult her job was, just like drawing a circle with her left hand and a square with her right hand.

An Nianrong looked at Mo Xinwei, and even wondered if he was an "oracle" or one of them.

However, although An Nianrong doesn't like the current Mo Xinwei, she has to admit that Mo Xinwei is the least suspicious, because he was transferred in by an unrelated ministry 'door' after the fact. This is also part of the investigation, slowly ruling out the suspicion of the relevant personnel, then the remaining one must be the person they are looking for.

"I think that the 13th Office should play a greater role in dispatching agents and collecting information, because your channels have their own advantages, and we have personnel advantages, and I believe that the 13th Office has received strong support from the General Staff in this regard, so that you can achieve such good results in the Lin Yongquan incident and the Jafari incident." Mo Xinwei's smile looked meaningful. "This shows that our cooperation is actually very promising. In particular, the absorption of the original members of Unit 128 will make the run-in process smoother for both of us. ”

Do you want the 13th Office to become a dispensable support department 'door' of the General Staff? An Nianrong smiled silently.

She has seen a lot of Mo Xinwei's tricks. Although her relationship with her father is relatively estranged, she will still secretly pay attention to her father's actions, so she is more familiar with the officialdom than most people, including this Mo Xinwei. If An Nianrong agrees to his current conditions, it will be tantamount to losing the power and ability to solve the problem on his own, so that he will slowly weaken the influence of the Thirteenth Office until it is dispensable, and then the Thirteenth Office will evaporate from the world, and An Nianrong herself will become an ordinary civil servant who is dispensable in the eyes of everyone.

An Nianrong lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then pressed it out in the ashtray.

"Mr. Mo is a senior, of course your opinions are more mature than mine, I think this is very good."

Mo Xinwei, who had been looking at An Nianrong with interest, was surprised by her answer. He originally thought that An Nianrong would refute him and strongly asked to participate in counter-espionage work, after all, this was the original intention of the establishment of the Thirteenth Office, if that was the case, he would have to 'waste' a lot of words to deal with An Nianrong, and he was even ready to start a debate with An Nianrong, but An Nianrong did not argue with him, which made Mo Xinwei, who had been prepared by the 'spirit', a little disappointed.

"Now, we have such cooperation in the 'European Star Project', I have heard Director Tang say that this case will be 'handed over' back to the General Staff Department, and now it happens to be handled by the 13th Office, which has the opportunity to test the rational 'nature' of the division of functions."

Mo Xinwei glanced at Tang Bai, and Tang Bai nodded.

"This is Chief Xu's case, a great achievement, and we should do our best to fix it. Personally, I believe that it would be more prudent for the General Staff to handle the matter with full authority. ”

"Considering the relationship between Director An and Chief Xu, I don't think there is any problem in 'handing' this case to the 13th Office." Mo Xinwei replied dryly. "If the 13th Office shows the ability to match, then not only France, but the whole of Europe will have to 'hand' the 13th Office to deal with. Director An, are you satisfied with my answer? ”

An Nianrong smiled and nodded. "I don't have a problem."

"Since this is the case, in order to facilitate management, the authority of the 13th Office to duplicate with the General Staff in counter-espionage affairs must be abolished, so as not to cause misunderstandings in future work and affect the smooth progress of work.

Tang Bai glanced at Mo Xinwei, and then turned to An Nianrong.

"Director An, the security of the 'European Star Project' is not trivial, it involves the lives of hundreds of intelligence officers working in Europe, considering the complexity and huge impact of this work, I personally think that it is better to return it to the General Staff, at least we will know who is responsible for this plan, if it has to fail."

"I probably know no less about the 'European Star Project' than anyone else, and I think I can also afford to fail, so I insist on hosting this project."

An Nianrong knew that Tang Bai was reminding her of the serious consequences of the failure of the plan, but she also needed to complete the plan to increase her influence on Mo Xinwei. When a new official takes office, it depends on who burns it. Tang Bai is a delicate person, he just needs to say what he can say, so after listening to An Nianrong's answer, he didn't say anything more.

The investigation of the "oracle" has encountered resistance again, it seems that the "oracle" is still a person who is good at 'playing' power, he pushes the 'waves' everywhere, and makes the whole situation change in his favor, An Nianrong is very sure that the "oracle" is hidden among those who often 'deal' with him, and he has vaguely revealed his own traces.

After saying goodbye to Mo Xinwei, she should be invited to Chu Jiangnan's house as a guest. Although I don't know what An Nianrong was injured for, his parents still prepared meals to "crush" An Nianrong, and An Nianrong also knew that not going to the Chu family for a long time would hurt the relationship between her and Chu Jiangnan. It won't take a lot of time to eat a meal, she told herself, and Chu Jiangnan told her that she had something to discuss with her.
