Chapter Seventy-Three
"We?"
Repeating An Nianrong's words with a little mockery, Luo 'Men' turned his head to look at her, and did not speak for several seconds.
In these few seconds, An Nianrong saw the various emotions that flashed in his eyes rolling like a sea of 'tides', and each emotion was so full that it seemed to be about to explode. But before she could begin to be surprised, she found that Ro' was still sitting there, all his emotions disappearing as quickly as they had come, and his eyes had regained their bottomless calmness.
An Nianrong didn't understand why a "we" would make his reaction so strong.
"If it's not a secret, I'd love to know how you're going to debunk the 'oracle'. For example, do you already have a plan? "Luo 'Men' looked at the men and women in the venue intently." I've been thinking about it for a long time, but to be honest, I don't have a clue until now, so sometimes I think maybe it won't be our job anymore at this point. ”
"Why do you think that?" An Nianrong's attention focused on the latter sentence of Luo 'Men'. "This ministry 'door' was established in response to the 'oracle', and if we don't get involved in this work, what's the point of setting up the thirteenth office?"
"That's what I don't understand." Luo 'Men' looked at An Nianrong. "Your ministry seems to have a lot of power, but that's because you haven't really started to interfere with your own parallel 'door'. If you really need to do so, how much protection does the permission you get from above give you? When you're sprinting all your way in your path, how can you be sure that no one will pull your back 'legs' from behind? Director An, what we are doing now is only to point out who our enemies are, and how to sanction them, I don't think that's our job, and we can't do it. ”
"What do you mean by that?" An Nianrong heard the diaphragm in his words.
"I mean, the 'oracle' is a catastrophe that our small community can't handle. Know why we are still alive? For the 'oracle' probably did not see us as real adversaries. After the incident in the United States, they should have taken it seriously, but the next situation showed that they were not worried about what trouble Lin Qingquan would bring to them. Because, Lin Qingquan did not leave any valuable information. Now I can tell you that Lin Qingquan did not leave any evidence that could point to anyone, as you think. That's right, I didn't execute him right away, just because I needed someone to think that Lin Qingquan might 'leak' some useful information, and that might make them 'mess' with themselves. ”
Frustrated, he threw a handful of grass into the air.
"But the fact is that Lin Qingquan's execution did not set off any 'waves'. This is a professional opponent, Director An, in my experience, this is an extremely professional opponent. Not only do they know how to deal with sudden crises, but they also know how to avoid them in advance. At this point, even the old man Zhong miscalculated, he thought that the 'oracle' was just a person or a group of rabble, as long as the slightest pressure was exerted they would be in a hurry', but now it seems that everything we have done is not an accident for them. What does this mean? ”
"What does that mean?"
The loss and frustration were so clearly expressed on Luo 'Men's face, and they also deeply touched An Nianrong, so that she couldn't think on her own. Unconsciously, her thoughts were already close to Luo 'Men', so she would subconsciously ask.
"This shows that the accusations are likely to be meaningless." Ro'mon's voice was muffled. "Covert work is a double-edged sword, you can use illegal, extreme means against your opponent, and your opponent can do the same. We are all dumb and can't talk about our suffering, and any attempt to bring these things to the light will cause our own passivity, and the opponent will not have such worries. For a politician, the appearance of a spy was a failure in itself, so from the very beginning, no one wanted to settle the matter within the limits of legality. I think that's why, in the end, we find that the road gets narrower and narrower. ”
An Nianrong disagreed.
"We have the highest authority, Ro'mon, I can assure you of that. I'm at the center of the vortex myself, isn't that enough to say anything? If the boat capsizes, I'll be with you, so you have nothing to worry about. ”
Luo 'Men' looked at An Nianrong, and slowly 'revealed' a smile on his face, and his eyes softened.
This work is the first release of the 16k exclusive text version, may not be reproduced without consent, excerpts, more of the latest and fastest chapters, please visit.1! His smile was so kind, and there was even a little doting in his eyes, and the helplessness in the spoiling was like An Nianping's gaze when she was naughty when she was a child. Seeing such an expression, An Nianrong knew that there must be something childish in her words that made Luo 'Men' feel funny, and she was actually unusually scared.
"Why are you laughing like that?" Her face flushed. "If you have something to say, say it."
"I want to say that you have really found the right person to come out and be the director of this office." Luo 'Men' seemed to want to avoid the question, and turned his gaze to the men and women on the training ground. "Now I finally understand why they need a 'female' 'sex', a 'female' 'sex' with a deep background and the ability to influence it at a critical time to deal with such a sensitive secret."
"You don't have to sell it to me, Luo 'Gate'." An Nianrong looked at him angrily. "I don't like these seemingly high-level conversations, but they're actually boring. You're a man, and if you have anything to say, just say it. What does it mean to 'need a 'female' 'sex''? What are you unhappy about? ”
"Now it's a question of men and women again? Well, don't talk about this. "Luo 'Gate' is still looking at the training ground." If you don't understand why you're in this position, you won't understand no matter how much I explain it, and you don't need my explanation. Director An, we have different views on things, so there is no need for us to 'communicate' on this kind of issue. ”
Luo 'Men' didn't look at her when he spoke, making An Nianrong feel that she was being despised .
"There's no need to 'exchange'?" Her voice suddenly sharpened. "Is that your definition of our working relationship? Luo 'Gate', I found that there is a reason why people don't like you, you are too arbitrary, too self-righteous, and it is not that there is no need for 'communication' between you and others, but that there is no 'communication' at all! ”
Hearing her words, Ro'mon's head hung deeply, almost buried between his knees. An Nianrong thought at first that her words had stung Luo 'Men', so her voice was lowered a little, but when she finished speaking, Luo 'Men' looked up at her, but there was a lazy smile on her face.
"You're quite right. I was arbitrary, I was self-righteous, but people didn't like me because they ended up finding out that I was right and self-righteous. And I don't care about how these people feel, I work for the results, not for the idiots who feel. Other people's feelings are not good, but he can still live, and it is I who is the one who goes wrong in my work. Which do you think I'm more concerned about? ”
This is the first time that Luo 'Men' has shown her arrogance, but what discourages An Nianrong is that she also has to agree in her heart that Luo 'Men''s words make sense. Arbitrariness and self-righteousness are just other people's feelings, and people with these feelings will automatically ignore the results of things, if Luo 'Gate' is arbitrary and self-righteous, then who will explain his achievements, as Luo 'Gate' said, other people's feelings are not worth anything to him, and he is responsible for his own life.
So her accusations are completely invalid for Romon.
And you are self-inflicted, and you are to blame, An Nianrong said to herself in her heart.
Ro'mon doesn't trust anyone, including her. This couldn't help but make her think that when Luo 'Men' always behaved freely in the face of a rain of bullets, but when he returned to his own people, he always stood up like a vigilant hedgehog with hard thorns around him, is it really as he himself said, he prefers to believe in the enemy rather than the people around him?
"You can't mistake the enemy, because you know that his only purpose is to make you die. And your own person is 'confused' and 'confusing', because it's hard to be sure what he's thinking. ”
This is a sentence that Luo 'Men' said inadvertently. When he was in Iraq, he stood guard at her bedside and sometimes had brief conversations with her. An Nianrong has discovered that Luo 'Men' is actually not as free and easy as he appears, and when he is alone, he will seem preoccupied most of the time. Maybe Luo 'Men' has to disguise himself, and he has to be tough, because he knows that some people are still counting on him, including An Nianrong.
Looking at Luo Men's eyes, An Nianrong didn't know that there was a trace of tenderness in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I said this unintentionally, just because I think there is something wrong with your statement." An Nianrong paused, and then decided to tell the truth. "It's not pleasant to be belittled, does it?"
I feel slighted because I lost my confidence first. Luo 'Men' just wanted to say this to An Nianrong, but saw that her eyes were as gentle as a stream flowing through the woods in autumn, and her low-hanging eyelashes seemed to fan the softest part of Luo 'Men's heart. She sat sideways on the grass, two long 'legs' that would be amazing at all times put together, with beautiful and graceful lines, and her beauty was always pressed inadvertently.
I swallowed back the words that came to my mouth.
"No one will despise you, Director An. No one in your position does it better than you. "Rommon forced himself to ignore her looks and smells on her body." Everyone will have their own opinion of things, but no one's opinion is enough for the person concerned, because it is the person who suffers the final result. ”
"So let's get back to the beginning, why do you think our path is getting narrower and narrower?" An Nianrong was also trying her best to hide the tenderness that suddenly rose in her heart.
"Because we're not just dealing with people, we're dealing with a force. In our opinion, right and wrong are as clear as black and white, but that is only our standard, and if we just follow our standards, there will be deviations. This is a gray 'color' world, and what is needed is a gray 'color' standard. "Ro'mon" is starting to get serious. We hold the truth, but they are responsible for letting it go. The decision is not on our side. ”
"Of course, the decision is on our side." An Nianrong's eyes were firm. "Clandestine work is a violent means of upholding justice and should not be interfered with by the world. I guess that's probably what you're worried about. Know that we don't serve individuals, so you don't have to worry about it at all. ”
Ro'men smiled. The problems he was worried about did not exactly coincide with what An Nianrong imagined, but if An Nianrong was not worried, then he would not be bothered.
"The best action against the Oracle is to hit it head-on. If it thinks it's indestructible, then there's no need for us to twist and turn. "Ro'mon's tone was flat, but the meaning in his words was uplifting. If a head-to-head is unavoidable, then all that is done is to simplify the process and let the strength determine the outcome without interference. "No matter how professional our opponents are, there are flaws, but our advantage is that we don't have to worry about that. They don't worry about being exposed, and we don't worry about flaws, so it looks like we're still tied, and it's up to us to see who has more stamina. ”
"Are we going to make a plan now?" An Nianrong was also excited.
"The plan needs to be developed and involved by all of us." Ro' waved his hand to the training ground. "I have an initial idea, but I think you're going to take on the main and stressful part of the plan, and you're going to do it alone. There will be very little help we can give you in this program. ”
"I'd love to try this kind of pressure." An Nianrong smiled. "If I'm going to be crushed, then I'd like to be crushed."
"Let's start with this 'European Star Project', because this is the main flaw of the 'oracle'." Luo 'Gate's eyes were cold. "The 'oracle' miscalculated the current situation, we are going to use this flaw to fight it, and to hit it from the front, maybe we can't judge anyone, but we can destroy some people."
"Speaking of the 'European Star Project,' I don't think you have said anything about it." An Nianrong interrupted him suddenly. "I just hope it's not too late for me to ask, because I've already decided to let Sophie continue to be our point of contact."
"Even if you've already sent her out, it's not too late." Luo 'Men' looked at An Nianrong. "Sophie is a spy, a spy who wants to break into us, but in my plan, she's an insignificant figure."
An Nianrong's expression didn't show much surprise.
"Can you be sure of that?"
