Chapter 672: A Visit in the Middle of the Night
After nine o'clock, all the training of the troops for the day was over.
After a day of exercise, the soldiers dragged their tired bodies and walked to the dormitory with a smile and a smile. This is the time of the day when the day is coming to an end.
The Wrangler was still quietly in the parking lot, his huge size was solitary, and he looked a little lonely in the middle of the night.
The lights in the office area are still on, and the owner of the room at the end of the corridor is still working overtime, and he hasn't come out since he came back, and he has no intention of going home.
Gu Tingjun sat alone on the sofa in the office, it was rare that he did not deal with military affairs, but took the book and read it seriously.
He seemed to really see it, and he kept the same posture for most of the day, and the hot water on the table was already frozen, and the temperature was even lower than the temperature in the room.
After a long time, there was a sudden sound of leather shoes hitting the ground outside.
Gu Tingjun put down the book in his hand, took a sip of the coffee that had been cold, and still sat on the sofa without moving.
He seemed to be waiting for someone to come, but there was no expectation in his expression, and there was nothing cold.
The footsteps outside stopped abruptly in front of the office door before they walked in.
Gu Tingjun turned his head to look over, stood up with a flat face, put his hands at his side casually, and shouted, "President." ”
"Hmm."
The temperature in the room was warmer than outside, and the president took off his heavy coat and put it on the sofa and sat down.
He glanced at the book Gu Tingjun was reading and the water on the table without a trace, and said slowly, "Why haven't you gone back so late?" ”
Gu Tingjun walked over and poured a glass of water, put it on the table, and replied, "No hurry." ”
"Oh..."
The president didn't mean to leave immediately, he sat on the sofa, his sharp eyes were a little confused, and his eyes were firmly fixed on a fallen leaf floating on the windowsill, "Tingjun, the year is almost over, is there enough supplies for the troops?" ”
All the supplies on the army are counted and supplied by special personnel, this problem does not belong to the president's responsibility, Gu Tingjun was puzzled by the usual questions about his gossip at night, and replied calmly, "Well, there is no shortage." ”
"That's good."
The president nodded, and said no more, and the two men fell silent after a brief conversation.
Gu Tingjun could probably guess what the reason for the president's coming this time, he acted like he never knew about it, and he didn't even ask the purpose of the president's coming, he sat on the chair like Mount Tai, not in a hurry to catch up with people, and he was not in a hurry to leave.
The president's calm face was mixed with melancholy, and it suddenly seemed that it was because it was almost the end of the year, which made people feel a little sad, especially when he became a loner.
He suddenly felt that he was a little anxious, there was no clue at all, he came over so rashly, with Gu Tingjun's shrewdness, his move was undoubtedly exposing himself.
For this person who had been his guest, he himself did not expect such a day. Maybe many things are predestined, but he doesn't believe in this evil!
Since you are here, you can't come in vain, and it's okay to explore the wind. He changed the subject and tried to ask, "Tingjun, how is the old man doing lately?" ”
"It's fine."
Gu Tingjun answered quickly, as if he had been waiting for the president's question.
The president looked up at him in surprise, then lowered his eyes, and said with emotion, "Your house is really lively, very enviable!" ”
He seemed to be saying it to himself, and it seemed to be saying it to Gu Tingjun, "If this person is old, and there are fewer and fewer people around him, he will feel lonely!" This is something I never noticed before, now that Chen Lin is gone, Du Xiao is gone, I have really become a person! ”
At this time, the president was just an old man who had lost his relatives, and his previous health had also decreased a lot, and now he was only in the state of a person who was over half a hundred years old.
Seriously, if the president were to appear on the news, he would definitely get a lot of sympathetic voices. But for Gu Tingjun, he really can't give birth to a trace of pity.
More of it, it's still cold.
The president looked up at Gu Tingjun, stared at the look in his eyes tightly, and continued slowly, "I didn't think it before, but Du Xiao is really gone, and I'm a little uncomfortable." Worried about whether he is doing well outside alone, whether he is injured or bullied by heat, he is naturally worried and thinner than others, if he is in prison, he can still go to see, but the person is gone, and there is no place to see! ”
If Du Xiao were here at this time, he would definitely feel that the president was hypocritical.
Gu Tingjun's eyes were as calm as the sea, and he still couldn't catch any emotions. He looked down at the president's eyes slightly, and there was not a trace of ripples in calm, "Du Xiao, probably not his life is in danger." ”
"Oh?" The president's face immediately changed, and he asked with a little anxiety, "Do you know where he is?" ”
"I don't know."
Gu Tingjun brushed himself off with one sentence, "You should ask the police station about his traces." ”
The implication is that the duty of the army is not to find someone, and Du Xiao was not lost when the army escorted him, he has no responsibility to find someone, let alone pay attention to where Du Xiao's people are.
The president's heart fell again, he suppressed the anger in his heart, lowered his head and said disappointedly, "It's because I'm in a hurry, I don't even have a police station, how do you know." ”
Gu Tingjun didn't answer, he looked at the president coldly, and intuitively his acting skills have improved a lot!
Such a look may have an effect in front of outsiders, but in front of him, it will only make him feel contempt and disdain.
If there was no Old Man Chu, he would have been alone a long time ago, and it is unknown whether he can survive until now. And the person in front of him has no remorse at all, except for his own affairs, others can only become his stepping stones.
Gu Tingjun suppressed his anger and didn't let it be revealed, and his cold eyes hid all his emotions. He picked up the water glass, and a mouthful of cold water slid down his esophagus, instantly calming the surging qi and blood.
Finding out the news from Gu Tingjun's mouth is tantamount to a fool's dream.
The resentment in the president's heart came out again, he was almost sure that Du Xiao's disappearance was related to Gu Tingjun, but he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't even find direct evidence!
In the morning, the people in the army told him that Gu Tingjun had gone out, and this time almost coincided with the time he had arranged, he couldn't take the doubt off Gu Tingjun, and he was even more worried that Du Xiao would not be able to withstand the coercion and temptation!
He glanced at Gu Tingjun deeply, and had already made up his mind in his heart, if he couldn't get it, it might as well ruin him!
