On that desperate night in the spring of 1983, my father was not the only one who was running fast, but the central investigation team led by Tang Weidong actually played the role of crisis management. For the sake of the peace of the country, my father, Tang Weidong and too many others have sleepless nights.

The Americans were not idle, and on this night, Nastasia led someone to break into the large classroom of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States.

In the classroom of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, Chinese scientist Yang Zigeng is giving a lecture.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, referred to as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts (Greater Boston area), USA, is a world-renowned private research university and is known as "the world's largest polytechnic university". Its Lincoln Laboratory, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Media Lab, and Sloan School of Management are well known. This made a historic contribution to the development of the personal computer. In the 1980s, MIT greatly helped the United States develop the B-2 Phantom stealth strategic bomber, showing advanced "precision saturation attack" capabilities.

At this moment, a group of people in black came in and said to Mr. Yang Zigeng, are you Chinese Yang Zigeng?

Yang Zigeng said, I am Yang Zigeng.

Nastasia said, "We are CIA special agents. As he spoke, he showed his ID to Yang Zigeng. You are suspected of turning the United States upside down,

We will prosecute you for espionage.

Yang Zigeng said, I'm a spy? How did you become a spy?

Nastasia said, of course we accuse you with evidence against you, and of course you can prove that you are not a spy, but you must go with us now.

Yang Zigeng said, whether you are a country ruled by law or not.

Nastasia said, of course. But you have to go with us now.

Yang Zigeng said, what happened to me?

Nastasia said, needless to say, we have judicial freedom.

Nastasia forcibly took away Mr. Yang Zigeng, a Chinese-American scientist, in a university class.

The Central Investigation Department is a Russian-style building, and in the courtyard stands some tall birch trees, tall and straight. Ten miles away from these Russian-style buildings, there is a stone monument that reads "Military Restricted Zone, No Approaching", and soldiers stand under the courtyard wall, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry. Vehicles with special permits are not allowed to enter, except for those with special permits. This unit does not have a house number, no contact information, collectively referred to as 0 mailboxes. No one knows what kind of unit it is, and this unit doesn't need to be recognized. It seems to be an isolated existence forever. It is isolated from the world in order not to be recognized, but it is not to be separated from the world, but to grasp the world. To enter this building, there are three conditions that must be met, first, loyalty, second, loyalty, and third, loyalty. The first thing that people who can enter this building must be prepared to forget their own existence and be ready to sacrifice themselves at any time, as long as they enter this building, they are equivalent to giving everything they have to the state. Of course, not everyone is eligible to enter this building. If you don't possess loyalty, you're a genius and don't qualify for this place. This is the Central Investigation Department, a mysterious existence and a sublime existence. If a person dares to give everything he has, including his life, to the state, and can give everything he has for the country, if not noble, then what is it?

But such a loyal unit cannot be completely pure. The loss of contact with the vice minister of Wangxi has put this unit with the highest honor into a desperate situation. Because of him, the loyalty of all is questioned. This is the first time for the Central Investigation Department that such a situation has never happened. During this time, everyone will have to be re-examined by the organization. A person at the level of Coveting Wangxi can be said to be a person with extremely high loyalty, because every step of his life and growth history is a history of loyalty testing and investigation, and loyalty at a level like him has been questioned, so what kind of loyalty is trustworthy?

Zhao Hanbing, director of the Central Investigation Department, was questioned by the investigation team every day, and everyone was bored with questions, Zhao Hanbing said to Tang Weidong, what can I do now, such an endless process, how long will the investigation last.

Tang Weidong said that he was investigated by the organization.

Zhao Hanbing said to Tang Weidong, I'm in a hurry.

Tang Weidong said, something so big, am I not in a hurry?

Zhao Hanbing said, there must be a deadline, now the people in the department have reached the point where everyone is in danger, and the work pressure is great, so if you continue to investigate like this, you have to drive people crazy.

Tang Weidong said that he was crazy, why don't I see anyone crazy, I am the one who will be driven crazy, you know, although the loss of contact with Wangxi is uncertain for the time being, isn't everyone in the investigation department suspicious? If we can't achieve organizational purity, then what's the point of our existence? I think your thoughts are also worth reflecting on, what is everyone at risk? Shouldn't everyone be at risk?

Zhao Hanbing said that it would be better to simply remove the Central Investigation Department, or to have a big change.

Tang Weidong said, why do I think you are resistant? If it weren't for the Zhao family's generations of loyalty, I would have suspected that you and Wangxi were together.

Zhao Hanbing said angrily, you just arrest me first. It's no problem to covet the West with your ass, think about it, what is he trying to do here? Does this make no sense? It's a matter of common sense. He covets the success of the West, wants power and power, wants status and status, wants honor and honor, what does he want to get by doing this? This doesn't make sense.

Tang Weidong said that the question is where is he now? What is the point of this? Think about it, if this is your Minister Zhao, think about it, can you make it clear? I think you have a mouth all over your body, and you can't tell.

Zhao Hanbing said, alas, he can't live this day.

Night. Tang Weidong's plane stayed at the desert military airfield.

Tang Weidong's plane stopped at the desert military airfield, rolling up desert smoke.

Bai Qiulu's jeep drove to the side of the plane, the dazzling window above the plane opened, and seeing Tang Weidong appear, Bai Qiulu immediately performed a standard military salute. Tang Weidong came to Bai Qiulu and said, let's not come to this set of false courtesies.

Bai Qiulu is a major general, and Tang Weidong is also a major general, but Tang Weidong must be the leader in charge of national security, so he should salute. Bai Qiulu said that the chief is welcome to inspect the work at the border base, but the appearance of the chief is generally not a good thing.

Tang Weidong said, you mean to say that I am a broom star.

Bai Qiulu said, I didn't say that, you said it yourself.

Bai Qiulu saw that Tang Weidong's face was hiding a huge worry, and the seat was still the air force's annihilator, and only a secretary was followed behind. Bai Qiulu said, what kind of thing can make a big leader "close the mountain and fly"?

Tang Weidong said that it is difficult to explain.

Ye Feiyang followed behind Bai Qiulu, and Bai Qiulu introduced Ye Feiyang to Tang Weidong and said, My student, Ye Feiyang, Ph.D.

Tang Weidong said, your current students are all doctors, and the next thing is to be scientists. Is that the Tsinghua doctor who wants to study in the United States and was robbed by you?

Ye Feiyang gave Tang Weidong a standard military salute.

Tang Weidong stretched out his hand and punched Ye Feiyang in the chest and said, I like to give up the preferential treatment of US imperialism and stay to serve the country. A punch hit Ye Feiyang's body, this person still didn't move, Tang Weidong said, good guy, is your body good?

Ye Feiyang said that it was all the result of General Bai's torture.

Tang Weidong said, if you can be tortured by General Bai, you can afford to look up to you.

Bai Qiulu did not introduce Tang Weidong's surname, but only said that this is the head of our Beijing headquarters, and I, the general, will not be summoned several times a year. However, it is still better not to summon, and there is nothing good about summoning.

Tang Weidong said, you deserve your name and become famous, how dare you bother you with ordinary things? You, a general instructor, are not relaxing in this desert, our country needs a large number of talents, otherwise we will not transfer you from the front line to this rear base.

Bai Qiulu said that the better the chief's words sounded, the more disturbing they were. Let's go back to the base and say, this yellow sand makes people can't open their eyes.

Tang Weidong said, okay.

Bai Qiulu invited Tang Weidong into the car and drove in person. Tang Weidong's secretary got into the car driven by Ye Feiyang.

After dinner, in Bai Qiulu's office, only Tang Weidong and Bai Qiulu were left.

Bai Qiulu said, what are the tasks? Let's get it straight.

Tang Weidong said to Bai Qiulu that a new person was used to carry out a special mission.

Bai Qiulu said: Our mission was not a special mission that time.

Tang Weidong said that there is a crisis in our system, and we need a completely unfamiliar face.

Bai Qiulu said, what system crisis? Could it be that we have such a big system that we can't even find an unfamiliar face, this is unlikely, right?

Tang Weidong was silent.

Bai Qiulu said, maybe I shouldn't ask, it's the Ye Feiyang you saw just now, is it okay?

Tang Weidong said, of course the people you recommend can.

Bai Qiulu said, but he is still a rookie who has never performed a single mission.

Tang Weidong said, which of us is not from a rookie? I'll take him away.

Bai Qiulu said, did you really decide like this? This guy is a scholar after all, and he hasn't even seen blood yet, and I'm worried that I won't be able to complete your mission, because your mission is definitely not an ordinary mission.

Tang Weidong said, I decided, just him. Also, you have to come back with me this time.

Bai Qiulu said, with your big chief in the formation, what am I going to do?

Tang Weidong said that it was the organization's decision, and you had to go back.

Bai Qiulu said, since it is the decision of the organization, I will obey it.

Tang Weidong said, let's go to the airport immediately, we won't stop, we must rush back to Beijing tonight.

Fly back to Beijing.

Bai Qiulu and Ye Feiyang followed Tang Weidong on the plane. When she arrived at the airport, Bai Qiulu found that the area around the airport was full of soldiers, and it was obvious that she was under martial law. The jeep stopped next to the plane, and Bai Qiulu found that there were two more annihilators behind the plane Tang Weidong was sitting on. Tang Weidong said to Bai Qiulu as he got on the plane, let you also experience our own stealth fighter.

Bai Qiulu said, I really haven't been on a stealth fighter.

Bai Qiulu walked into the plane and heard someone say to him, General Bai, don't come unharmed?

Only then did Bai Qiulu see clearly that the person who spoke was Ji Sen, the director of the Second Bureau of the General Staff, and Bai Qiulu said that it seemed that General Ji was personally at the helm of the chief.

Ji Sen said, there is no way, they are all mixed with the general, and they are still running around for others before and after the saddle.

Bai Qiulu said that this is the trust of the chief.

Ji Sen said, trust? It's better not to trust, his trust is born and died.

Tang Weidong said, don't talk more and more energetically, it's not that you yourself say that you don't worry about others, you must follow by yourself.

Ji Sen said, I have no conscience to say this, I, Ji Sen, am the shield that blocks bullets for you, but you also have to say something to make me warm.

Ye Feiyang couldn't understand these people who were all high-ranking and powerful in the eyes of others, but they spoke like children, neither big nor small.

Bai Qiulu said to Ye Feiyang, we are all friends of life and death, so you can't understand the relationship between us for the time being.

Ye Feiyang said, I really don't understand.

Ji Sen looked at Ye Feiyang and said, General Bai tricked an ignorant teenager into our team from there?

Bai Qiulu said to Ji Sen, Xiao Ye is a doctor, as a general, don't teach him badly.

Ji Sen said that only by teaching bad can we understand the sublime, which is the highest philosophy of survival, and now the entry conditions are getting more and more outrageous, and they are all doctors. However, like we only knew how to die in the past, in this era, it is really impossible to have no knowledge.

Bai Qiulu said, your original level was to fly a helicopter, but now you are flying a stealth fighter.

Ji Sen said, if you don't keep up with the times, those guys under me really can't lead.

Tang Weidong actually fell asleep, Bai Qiulu put his finger on his mouth and made a gesture of sticking a seal, and whispered, The chief slept at ease enough, it seems that he is indeed relieved of General Ji's technique.

Ji Sen said, for a person who can die for him, what is he worried about?

Bai Qiulu said to Ji Sen, why don't I try it.

Tang Weidong didn't open his eyes, but said, don't try Qiulu, I still want to live a few more days.

Bai Qiulu said, look, if you don't trust it, isn't it a stealth fighter? Do you really think I'm visiting for the first time? All the trials of new products are taught to the trainees.

Tang Weidong said, then let Xiao Ye open.

Ye Feiyang said, no, no, you are all leaders, and I can't bear this responsibility. Even if I dare to open it, you may not dare to sit.

Tang Weidong said, what don't you dare, isn't it just a life? I'll leave it all to you today.

Bai Qiulu knew that Tang Weidong was going to test Ye Feiyang's courage, but he was still worried about what an accident would happen, so he said that it would be safer for General Ji to take the helm.

Tang Weidong said, what? Isn't Xiaoye your protégé? Do you have no confidence in yourself, or is Xiao Ye herself not confident in yourself?

Bai Qiulu looked at Ye Feiyang, meaning to ask if you can do it?

Ye Feiyang said, I don't have confidence in myself.

Tang Weidong said, you don't have confidence in yourself, then I changed my mind, I can't give you the task, you get off the plane, right? The white instructor considered re-enforcing one.

Ye Feiyang got up and prepared to get off the plane, and walked to the exit of the plane, Ye Feiyang turned around and said, do you really dare to sit?

Tang Weidong said firmly, of course.

Ye Feiyang said, it's better to be like this, ask Instructor Bai and General Ji to take the two planes in the back, and we will divide the danger into three parts to minimize the risk, just in case.

Tang Weidong said, okay, this is a good idea, courageous and knowledgeable. It's like this in life and in everything, it's not enough to have strategy, not just heroism.

According to Tang Weidong's decision, Bai Qiulu and Ji Sen got off the plane and took the plane behind, Ji Sen said while getting off the plane, Old Tang, you are a madman.

Tang Weidong said, I have always been cautious, and I will go crazy today.

Only Tang Weidong and Tang Weidong's secretary were left on the plane, as well as Ye Feiyang.

The secretary suddenly said, chief, I don't agree, your safety must be guaranteed, you do this, I must report to Beijing.

Tang Weidong said to the secretary, sit down.

The secretary sat down reluctantly.

Ye Feiyang sat in the driver's seat and said loudly, Report to the chief, can you take off?

Tang Weidong said, yes.

Ye Feiyang clicked on the startup program on the electronic screen, and the plane roared into the night sky.

The stealth plane traveled through the night sky at a speed like light, and Tang Weidong fell asleep again.

The plane landed safely at the military airport in the outskirts of Beijing, and Ye Feiyang felt that his vest and palms were full of cold sweat.

The secretary said to Tang Weidong, "Chief, I'm in Beijing."

Tang Weidong opened his eyes and said to Ye Feiyang, are you nervous?

Ye Feiyang said, nervous.

Tang Weidong said, I was also nervous, I kept thinking, what would I do if I fell?

Bai Qiulu waved goodbye to Ji Sen at the airport and got into the car that came to pick up Tang Weidong.

When he arrived at the Central Investigation Department, Tang Weidong asked the secretary to arrange for Ye Feiyang to rest and led Bai Qiulu into his office.

Tang Weidong said to Bai Qiulu, don't you ask me what task I perform?

Bai Qiulu said, don't you say it, is it interesting for me to ask?

Tang Weidong said, are you interested in knowing?

Bai Qiulu said, no.

Tang Weidong said, is he lost contact with the West?

Bai Qiulu said, do you think it's funny to make this kind of joke?

Tang Weidong said, do you think I'm joking?

Bai Qiulu felt that all the sunlight in front of her had disappeared, and it was dark in front of her.

Tang Weidong said to Bai Qiulu that you can apply for recusal, but the organization hopes that you can participate in the investigation of Wangxi.

Bai Qiulu said, is it a test for me?

Tang Weidong said that it is not a test, but trust.

Bai Qiulu said, trust, it's a bureau set up specifically for me, right?

Tang Weidong said, why do you understand it like this?

Bai Qiulu said angrily, why don't I understand it this way?

Tang Weidong said, can you not understand it like this? Are you happy to arrest you because of the co-defendant of Wangxi? Someone would like to see this result. It has been suggested that regardless of whether you are involved in the Lookout West or not, you should be immediately quarantined and reviewed. Do you hope this is the result?

Bai Qiulu said weakly, This would rather be the result, I don't want your sympathy.

Tang Weidong said that this is not sympathy, this is trust.

Bai Qiulu said that this is not trust, this is compassion.

Tang Weidong said, do you want to isolate the censorship and not want to figure out what is going on?

Bai Qiulu said, I am willing to find out what happened, but who will believe me? I am a woman who covets Wangxi, a woman who has a child with Wangxi and shares a bed. Something like this happened, and you actually said that people would believe me? It's better to take action against me as soon as possible. Your presence at the desert base means that I am no longer trusted.

Tang Weidong said, why do you want to worry about trust and distrust? Does trust or distrust matter? Something so big has happened, and you are here to talk to me about trust, does it make sense?

Bai Qiulu said, he's not dead yet, right?

Tang Weidong said, I hope he is dead, if something like this happens, do you still want him to live?

Bai Qiulu said, no matter what he is, he is my man after all.

Tang Weidong said, when was the last time he and you were in contact?

Bai Qiulu said, is it an investigation? Except for a greeting during the New Year's holidays, our family of three usually has no contact, and we are busy with our own work.

Tang Weidong said, is your home still a home? It's that you don't manage your man well.

Bai Qiulu said, now that you say that I didn't manage my man well, why didn't anyone object to transferring me to the desert base in the first place? As if the earth would not run except me, now you say that I don't care about men, let alone why should I care? Even if I'm in Beijing, we rarely see each other, and besides, what do I do? You're all in high positions. It's nice to see each other, okay?

Tang Weidong said, don't we complain now? There is no point, we are now trying to find him, to know what is going on, and to put you in charge of the investigation is what I have fought for you against all odds.

Bai Qiulu said, it is a bureau you set up for me, and you can arrest me at any time.

Tang Weidong said, even if it's a bureau, what are you afraid of? What do you have to be afraid of? When do we not live in the game but stay out of the game? If you are afraid that this is a bureau, then there is only one reason why you are coveting the co-defendant of the West.

Bai Qiulu said, do you believe that I am his co-defendant?

Tang Weidong said, does this matter? My White General. What we have to do now is to find the people who want to see Xisheng and the corpses when they die, so as to minimize the loss.

Bai Qiulu said, in this way, you are still willing to believe me.

Tang Weidong said, I will always trust you, and I will always trust Wangxi, but if you meet him outside the country now, will you let him live?

Bai Qiulu said, definitely not.

Tang Weidong said: That's right, we must first be responsible for the state and subordinate ourselves to the interests of the state, and then we ourselves. I propose to the organization that you be solely responsible for the Lookout West incident, and will not characterize the incident for the time being.

Bai Qiulu said, just let me be solely responsible for the robbery and killing of him?

Tang Weidong said, I don't want to say anything, because I know what you will do?

Bai Qiulu said to Tang Weidong, give me a cigarette.

Tang Weidong took out a cigarette from the "Panda" brand cigarette box on the table and gave it to Bai Qiulu.

Bai Qiulu took the cigarette and said, "I want fire."

Tang Weidong lit the lighter and lit the cigarette in Bai Qiulu's fingers, and then lit one himself. Bai Qiulu took a deep puff of her cigarette and said, If there is nothing else, I have to leave.

Tang Weidong also took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, there are other things.

Bai Qiulu said, what else is going on? You see, I'm just a woman, and I can't handle everything.

Tang Weidong said, after all, I want to tell you, this may be the last straw that crushes you.

Bai Qiulu said, is it Qiusha's business? Bai Qiulu took another puff of her cigarette and said, are you still alive?

Tang Weidong said, I don't know, she lost contact with us, just after the loss of contact with Wangxi, she disappeared, she was in charge of the work of the European Bureau, but she disappeared, you said that the father and daughter don't know what tricks they played.

Bai Qiulu said to Tang Weidong, what do you think?

Tang Weidong said, I think she went to find her father, this is my judgment.

Bai Qiulu said that the father and daughter have never let me worry.

Tang Weidong said, I want to listen to your judgment.

Bai Qiulu said, first, that the West will not betray the party and the country, and that the disappearance of Qiusha is related to her father. They contacted me a month ago, and it doesn't really sound like family. You don't believe you can view the history of communication between us. Oh, I'm talking nonsense again, I'm afraid you guys have already investigated, and we don't have personal privacy in the face of the organization. Say, what else did the organization decide, to order my daughter to kill her father after I contacted her?

Tang Weidong said, that's the case, you guessed it.

Bai Qiulu said, does the organization think that this is the best test of loyalty to me and my daughter? How many times have we died for our country? Do we need to be tested for our loyalty? Bai Qiulu was completely angry, if I needed to, I could die in front of the organization immediately.

Tang Weidong was also angry, and said, hasn't Wangxi also died many times? But what about now? It is my personal insistence that the Lookout West incident is not qualitative, I believe in his personality, but does the organization believe it? Can I represent an organization? It's that I can represent the organization, what do you use to convince me that Wangxi is loyal, a warrior, and a hero, and who else will believe it now? So, I tell you to calm down.

Bai Qiulu said, it's you who are not calm.

Tang Weidong said, yes, I'm not calm, if it were someone else, I wouldn't be like this, but he is a brother who lives and dies with us, if something like this happens, can I be calm? To put it bluntly, it's up to you whether you want him to die at your hands or someone else's.

Bai Qiulu said, does this still need to be answered? Of course, I don't want him to die at the hands of someone else.

Tang Weidong said, Qiulu, I don't need to say it, people like us have no personal feelings in front of the country or the organization. There is no selfishness, but it does not mean that we are completely ruthless, of course, it is cruel to do so, so cruel that we dare not face it, but we don't face it? If Wangxi's death is inevitable, then all we need to think about is minimizing the damage, and at the same time, convincing the Order of your mother and daughter's innocence. That's all I can do.

Bai Qiulu said, what if he comes back?

Tang Weidong said, when have you ever been so naïve? Will he be able to come back? The fate of fate is that there are no ifs.

Bai Qiulu, do you have wine here?

Tang Weidong said, there is, but I can't give it to you now.

Bai Qiulu said, are you afraid that I will be drunk to death here?

Tang Weidong said, you won't die, at least until the matter between their father and daughter comes to an end, you won't have the courage to die, what you think about is how to save everything.

Bai Qiulu said, it seems that you still know me very well. I've got to go back, I've got to go back and figure out how to kill my man. Bai Qiulu suddenly burst into laughter, laughing hideously and madly.

Tang Weidong said, I'll send a car to you.
