Chapter 261: A long-lost buyer
Chapter 261: The long-lost buyer
The sound of firecrackers is the old, and the sound of firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve is always the most lively.
And Xu Baisheng was leaning against the wall with a shallow smile in his eyes at this time, although he was outside, he was not noisy at all.
And in the direction of his gaze, his wife was setting off firecrackers on the side of the street with her children.
Looking at the child's happy smile, he unconsciously felt a burst of satisfaction, maybe the child's smile is the simplest happiness he wants.
Those former ideals and the future are indeed too far away for him, maybe being able to hold the simplest happiness in front of him is what he wants most now, such a wonderful experience Xu Baisheng really wants to be eternal......
But the happy time is always short-lived, although his wife and children are still playing happily, but the tenderness of his eyes has disappeared and become serious.
However, he did not alarm his wife and children, but lowered his voice and said, "Who?!! ”
"It's just an old classmate, so you don't have to be so vigilant, right?" On the other side of the corner was a figure whose face was covered by a top hat, but although he couldn't see anyone, Xu Baisheng could count this familiar voice as soon as he heard it, who else could there be besides Woody?
Xu Baisheng relaxed slightly, but the alertness in his tone still did not disappear, and he asked coldly, "Why are you here?" ”
This Chinese New Year's Eve came to him, Xu Baisheng always felt that it would not be a good thing.
"Naturally, I want to come and see my old classmates, after all, now that we don't work together, we naturally want to move around more, and I'm still afraid that the relationship will be estranged." Woody said half-jokingly.
Listening to his tone, it seems to be ridiculing Xu Baisheng that he has changed his court now, but he said it more vaguely.
"Alienated?" Xu Baisheng shook his head, "I don't think so, even if it's estrangement, it should be that you are alienating me." You haven't replied to my last proposal, is it because the Central Committee can't afford to buy intelligence? ”
Xu Baisheng didn't hear Hu Di's words, Hu Di wanted to persuade him to return to the Central Union many times, and the sound of these words was already obvious.
However, Xu Baisheng pretended to be confused, and did not continue to talk about it, but turned to the intelligence business.
However, Hu Di wanted to persuade himself to return to this point, which still moved Xu Baisheng, but moving could not replace his rationality, he didn't believe Hu Di, but he couldn't believe in Zhongtong, who knew if the flowers waiting for him after he went back or poison?
So he directly led the topic to the information transaction that he had said before, and asked Zhongtong to take money to buy intelligence from him, and everyone cooperated without subordination.
Besides, he also has to think about the future of his wife and children, because in fact, he himself does not know how long he will live.
Although he has nothing to do now, he is still a member of the Secret Service Headquarters, and he has a position that is not low, so he is a member of the Secret Service Headquarters.
Therefore, it is impossible to say when he will die, so he must leave a way out for his wife and children.
It's just that what puzzled him was that Hu Di had agreed with him before that he could trade intelligence, but since then, Zhongtong has not come to him to buy information again, and this abnormal behavior has also made Xu Baisheng vigilant.
Don't you want to do this business?
So he also tested it, after all, Xu Baisheng has no feelings for Zhongtong, and he has only been in Zhongtong for a year, and he can't talk about any sense of belonging, so why not make money from Zhongtong?
"Hehe, Zhongtong is very poor, even if it is a little money, I don't dare to use it indiscriminately, after all, it is all anti-Japanese funds, you must know that the money to buy intelligence may be put on the front line is a lot of rifles, and we have to use the money on the blade, right?" Woody replied with a smile.
Looking at Woody's appearance, it seemed that he wanted to bargain with Xu Baisheng, but in the face of Woody's words, the corners of Xu Baisheng's mouth rose slightly, and Xu Baisheng didn't care about bargaining at all!
What is a bargain?
What I'm afraid of is that they will not do anything later!
The Central Command has been dormant for a long time, and the people who have been jumping around recently are all members of the military commander's hoe team, and the Central Command is very peaceful.
But on this Chinese New Year's Eve, Woody came to him, but it also exposed a signal!
Zhongtong is moving!
Although Woody didn't say it explicitly, Zhongtong must need something from him!
Otherwise, Woody wouldn't have been able to come up to find him who hadn't been in touch for so long, and Woody must have asked for something this time......
Xu Baisheng said calmly: "The so-called business is a willingness to buy, a willingness to sell, the money is how much you are willing to use, how to use it is also your business." It's the same with the intelligence business, if the price can't be negotiated, it's a big deal, don't you? ”
Xu Baisheng is very determined now, anyway, Woody has to open his mouth sooner or later, then he will naturally not be impatient, as long as he does not move, it must be Woody who is anxious at that time.
Hearing Xu Baisheng's answer, Woody paused and lowered his hat, estimating that his face would not be too good now.
Hu Di didn't mention the specific information he bought, but tried to sell it miserably, hoping to make Xu Baisheng very compassionate, so that when he talked about the price of information, he could lower the price.
But his little Jiujiu obviously doesn't work now, he didn't expect Xu Baisheng to say such indifferent words.
This performance is really a business-for-business posture.
This also made Woody unable to believe that the person next to him was Xu Baisheng, who took the country as his own responsibility......
But the facts are in front of him, he can't believe it, he has a hunch that this time to buy information must be bleeding......
But fortunately, Xu Baisheng's position in the secret service headquarters is not low, at least it can be regarded as a reliable source of intelligence......
Woody can only comfort himself like this, at least he won't feel too distressed to think about it.
"Haha, that's nature, and the so-called buying and selling is not benevolent...... Haha......" Woody laughed dryly.
He hesitated slightly, but gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, I really need the help of my old classmates to find out some news today......
Xu Baisheng breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had really guessed correctly, what did they really want!
Although Xu Baisheng had already made a judgment before, it was just a guess after all, and now Hu Di's words can be regarded as a reassuring pill for him.
Although Hu Di's idea had been guessed by Xu Baisheng, Xu Baisheng was not overly happy, and still remained calm and said: "Oh? Really? If you want to know anything, I'll help you inquire within my ability. How much does it cost...... Depending on the difficulty of your intelligence, you will be charged as appropriate......"
