Chapter 290: Dismissal and Defection (5,000 words)
As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to Liu Lao's side.
After all, this matter can also be regarded as promoted by Liu Lao.
And the matter of cooperating with the ghost mission is relatively new to these newcomers, and many people have even heard of such a thing, but they have not seen it with their own eyes, so they are just looking at it with curiosity at this time.
Gu Yangyun was also one of the promoters, and said: "This matter is due to the fact that our current strength is insufficient, and it is extremely dangerous to face some ghosts above the demon level, so we asked for help from the underworld. ”
"If you've seen it, you'll know that the yin gods in the underworld have a natural suppressive power against ghosts, and even resentful ghosts are no opponents. In this case, we only need to pay a relatively small price to solve a mysterious incident, so why not? ”
Liu Lao nodded slightly, although he didn't speak, but obviously he also gave support.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that the minister just snorted coldly.
"Ridiculous! Captain Gu, I thought you were an elite captain sent from the headquarters, and you shouldn't fall for this kind of deception. I was disappointed. ”
"There have been many previous studies about the old underworld, and the results are not there. And the so-called people in the underworld that you want to make friends with may just be an evil god organization that wants to get benefits from you! ”
"Do you think this kind of breeding tigers is really conducive to the peace and stability of our alliance?"
Others are afraid of this minister, but Gu Yangyun is not afraid, he just coldly insists on his opinion.
"Before you actually see it, I hope you don't jump to conclusions, minister."
The minister glanced at him: "This is the matter of our Nanjiang City Branch, and I have the right to close the coffin." This cooperation ends here, and I don't want to pursue the absurd behavior before, so you can do it yourself. ”
"Also, if you feel that mysterious events are too dangerous and choose to leave them to someone else, then what use is there for you? If you feel that your strength is insufficient, go to the experience, and after experiencing mysterious events again and again, your ability will naturally improve! ”
Gu Yangyun slapped the table suddenly: "Do you know how many people will die because of your simple words?" ”
"Captain Gu, are you questioning my decision?" The minister looked over with a look of majesty.
Gu Yangyun still wanted to argue, but at this time, Liu Lao coughed, so he had to sit down for the time being.
There are some things that can't be said at least on the surface, otherwise they will only get more and more stiff.
The minister slowly retracted his gaze, indifferently glanced at the silent people sitting in the audience, and then said slowly: "Next, there are candidates for the leaders of the first and second groups, which will be designated by me through the follow-up assessment. ”
After all, it is normal for the first group to be wiped out, but the second group?
Immediately, someone whispered a question.
"Minister, it seems that the leader of the second group is still out on a mission and has not yet returned, even if he wants to be dismissed, is it ......?"
The minister said slowly: "You mean Liu Xinqiang, the captain of the original second group? ”
"We've got reliable information that he's defected."
"Shhh
"Defected?!"
Suddenly, everyone, including Shen Suxian, was stunned.
Especially the old guys.
In their impression, although Liu Xinqiang's temperament is a little cold and difficult to get along with, at least he is still more loyal to his duties, and he can complete any task well, and he can be regarded as a more reliable captain.
They never thought that defection would happen to him!
And Su Bai was also a little surprised.
That guy actually defected?
The minister glanced at everyone: "We got accurate information, Liu Xinqiang went to the field in the name of carrying out the mission and did not return for a long time, during which he took the initiative to contact the rebels, and then deliberately created a mysterious attack as a smoke bomb, and took part of the team to disarm the communication equipment and locators, and took the initiative to join the ranks of the rebels." ”
There was silence.
No one expected this to happen.
They know exactly what it means to join the rebels.
The formation of the coalition has not been without its challenges, and to this day there have been small rebel activities and boycotts of the coalition government in some areas, with each attack causing enormous damage.
Especially overseas, the trouble is more fierce.
The coalition government seems to be calm now, but in fact some parts of the country overseas have even been defeated by the rebels, and have become some kind of strange anarchy.
The annual expenditure on military and pension expenditures on this is an astronomical amount.
As a result, the coalition government is constantly vigorously looking for people with ties to the rebels.
Basically, once you join the rebel army, it means that you will not die, and there is little chance of relief.
They really couldn't understand why Liu Xinqiang would be willing to give up the great future here and turn to the rebel army that was completely unstable and could even be wiped out at any time.
Obviously, the minister did not mean to explain, but simply explained the reason, and then continued to publish the detailed rules for the next implementation.
Some people who want to go further naturally listen carefully, while some newcomers who have just come in know that they don't have the ability to compete, so they naturally don't listen, but whisper in a low voice.
Today, the minister came back with too much shocking news, which made them a little unrelieved for a while.
At the end of the meeting, the minister looked at Shen Suxian.
"I've heard about the Master Du who was making talismans yesterday, and we are in great need of this kind of professional at the moment. And as far as I know, this master seems to have a very different attitude towards you than others? ”
"So I want you to continue to take the initiative to approach the master on our behalf, and it doesn't matter if you sacrifice a little, it's better to win him over to our side. If you can do it, then you can be considered to have made up for it......"
Shen Suxian's expression changed.
She didn't expect the minister to speak so directly.
It is also clear what the meaning of this sentence is.
It was nothing more than sacrificing her to enlist the help of that Du Rong.
If it weren't for Su Bai's help last night, I'm afraid today would be the day she left.
Shen Suxian held back his anger and just said lightly: "Actually, I have already contacted that Master Du. ”
"Oh? How so? The minister seemed to be a little interested, and a rare smile appeared on his face, "I didn't expect you to be so active this time, I thought you would resist, it's ......."
The rest of the people were talking in whispers, with different expressions.
After all, the minister has just returned, and it is too ugly to eat for his own political achievements.
Who doesn't know that if you can get the help of this extremely rare talisman master who is independent of the Dao Sect, the strength of the Hearsay Society will definitely increase significantly, and the status of this Nanjiang City branch will be improved a lot.
Then the position of this minister is naturally rising.
However, it is too humiliating to rely on his subordinates to sacrifice hue.
Several female members, such as Sun Qian and the like, looked at Shen Suxian with sympathy.
Of course, there is no shortage of envy, envy that they are not as good as the other party, and they have not been favored by Du Rong, otherwise they may be able to soar to the sky by relying on the strength of the other party.
At least there is no need to rush to the front line to risk anymore.
However, after Shen Suxian's next sentence came out, everyone except Su Bai was stunned.
"Master Du does take a fancy to me, but it's not as vulgar as you think."
Shen Suxian looked around and took in everyone's expressions, until he paused slightly after seeing Su Bai, nodded lightly and continued.
"It's just because he saw that I had the talent to learn the Dao, so he wanted to accept me as a registered disciple. And yesterday's spell was just a gesture of goodwill. ”
As soon as these words came out, Gu Yangyun and Liu Lao both turned their heads to look over in some shock.
"Really?"
They still understand some of the rules of the Daomen, and they pay great attention to bloodline and talent, and ordinary people have no chance to learn at all.
And Shen Suxian can be fancied?
As for the minister, his eyes widened in surprise, and then he narrowed slowly.
"Shen Suxian, this kind of thing can't be allowed for you to joke, you can speak after you think about it."
"Minister, do you think I'm going to joke about this kind of thing?"
Shen Suxian said with a smile.
The minister was silent for a moment.
Even if this kind of thing is fake, just ask Du Rong to know, there is no point in cheating.
So......
His face gradually softened: "Since this is the case, then it means that our Hearsay Society also has capable people, what I said earlier is indeed a bit excessive, as for the position matters are easy to discuss, I hope you can also help us win over ......"
Regardless of what Shen Suxian did before, now that she is a disciple of the talisman master, then there is value worth wooing!
It's just that before he finished speaking, Shen Suxian chuckled: "I'm sorry, I know very well that I feel very guilty for my previous dereliction of duty, so I plan to calm down and rest for a while." ”
"During this time, the relevant matters will be handled by the captains of the three groups of trust."
"Wait......"
The minister's face changed slightly, and before he could stop it, he saw Shen Suxian walking out unceremoniously, his back was clean and chic, leaving a group of people looking at each other.
Only Gu Yangyun sneered, which made the minister's face even more gloomy.
He took a few deep breaths, then glanced at the embarrassed trust team leader Chen Biao on the side, felt that it was really useless, and snorted coldly: "That's it for today, the meeting is over!" ”
Su Bai, who had watched the whole play, sighed lightly, and followed the others out of the room.
He wasn't too worried about the cooperation of the underworld, after all, the Strange News Society didn't play a big role in it, but he was a little concerned about the attitude of the minister who had just returned.
Apparently with no good intentions.
With such a drastic move, even Liu Lao and Gu Yangyun from the headquarters didn't plan to give face, I don't know what they were planning.
"It's really troublesome, this kind of struggle for power and profit, even in places like this......"
Saying goodbye to Sun Qian, Gao Lin and the others, Su Bai took the elevator out to leave, and happened to meet Shen Suxian who was sitting on a chair and drinking milk tea elegantly on the first floor, attracting the eyes of many passers-by around who secretly looked over.
"Are you waiting for me?" Su Bai took a few steps forward.
"Yes."
Shen Suxian smiled skillfully, got up with milk tea, and didn't mean to hide it at all.
Youthful and beautiful with a somewhat playful posture, she looks like a little girl who has just graduated from high school, and she doesn't look like an old fritter who has been in society for many years.
Su Bai couldn't help but sigh that the girl's style was really changeable.
One moment is mature like an old man, one moment is indifferent like an iceberg, and the other moment is this youthful and lively posture, I really don't understand which one is the real her.
But it can be seen that she is indeed in a good mood now.
"Let's go, I'll send you back." Shen Suxian subconsciously stretched out his hand and wanted to hold his arm, but he retracted halfway through, just smiled lightly.
Su Bai was a little embarrassed and said, "Actually, I have another car, so I don't need you to send it to the captain." ”
"And call me Captain." Shen Suxian tilted his head and took a big sip of milk tea.
The relaxed and comfortable appearance is like a big stone falling on the heart, and the smile is extraordinarily bright.
"Now we're at the same level, just call me by name."
"Besides, I don't want to do anything now, why don't you take me out for a walk when you have a car......"
"It's fine."
Su Bai nodded, probably she was a little confused now.
The branch that has been working hard for so long, suddenly one day inexplicably took down her position for a spurious reason, and gave it to a person who is usually unknown.
It is natural to say that there is anger, but it is more about the ease after unloading the burden.
But for a while, it was like losing my goal, and relaxing was relaxing, but I didn't know where to go next.
When she came to the parking lot, Shen Suxian, who was used to her own expensive sports car, didn't dislike his ordinary-looking little pickup truck at all, and looked left and right after sitting on it, a little curious.
"Nowadays, young people generally like to buy a very expensive and handsome sports car when they are rich, and it is really the first time I have seen an unpretentious person like you."
Su Bai now has a net worth of millions, which can be regarded as a successful career for a college student who has not yet graduated.
In this way, she can stick to her heart and not be tempted by external objects, which is definitely of good moral character, which she appreciates.
Su Bai didn't feel embarrassed to use this broken car to make a big beauty, and skillfully drove the car outside, while saying: "I also liked that kind of sports car, but considering that it is not convenient to only run in the urban area, I will definitely often go to those rural and mountainous places in the future, or buy this kind of sturdy and durable good work." ”
"And don't look at the appearance of this car, it is also modified inside, and it is full of horsepower......"
With one foot on the accelerator, the acceleration of 100 meters is definitely not much slower than those expensive sports cars!
It's a pity that the speed limit in the city is now, and the accelerator doesn't dare to step on it too much, and the real performance of this car can't play much at all.
If it's in the wild, he doesn't mind a thrilling wild ride.
It just so happened that when waiting for the traffic light, a green convertible sports car stopped next to it, the window was lowered, and in the car was a young man with hair standing up and studs in a non-mainstream style, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Shen Suxian in Su Bai's passenger seat, both in figure and appearance, his eyes were instantly straight.
Looking at Su Bai's mediocre-looking little pickup truck, and then looking at the multimillion-dollar sports car on his side and the woman with heavy makeup next to him, he couldn't help but give Su Bai a thumbs up with envy and jealousy.
"Cow, friend! Have a chance to teach me how to pick up girls? ”
This level gap is not ordinarily large!
Su Bai ignored him, and when the light changed to green, he stepped on the accelerator and left, leaving the green sports car behind to catch up, but unfortunately he couldn't catch up.
Shen Suxian couldn't laugh well, and only stopped after a while, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at Su Bai: "Where are you going to go next?" ”
"Let's go to the hospital." Su Bai looked at the time, it was just noon, and brought some lunch to Lin Wanqin.
Shen Suxian nodded lightly, leaned his arm against the car window, and quietly looked out the window.
"By the way, Team Shen...... Su Xian, how much do you know about that Liu Xinqiang? There was silence on the road for a while, and Su Bai suddenly asked.
"Liu Xinqiang?" Shen Suxian turned his head slightly and recalled, "It should be regarded as a very strong and utilitarian person." A person who does whatever it takes to achieve an end......"
She shook her head: "I don't like this kind of person, so I don't get along well with him, even after becoming the captain, I have a lot of conflicts with him." ”
Su Bai nodded lightly.
Suddenly I remembered something unrelated.
It seems that Shen Suxian's relationship with others is not very good, Liu Xinqiang and Gu Yangyun of the elite squad are like this, and they all seem to be prejudiced against her.
He couldn't help but secretly guess in his heart, could it be that Shen Suxian was still a little sister who disobeyed discipline before?
It's still hard to imagine turning her head and sneaking a look at her now.
Shaking his head and throwing out all these strange thoughts, before he could ask, he heard Shen Suxian whisper again: "But overall, that guy should be quite loyal, and he has performed many dangerous missions for the Strange Hearing Society." ”
"I didn't expect this person to suddenly rebel......"
And if it is just a defection to an underground organization, at least there is room for redemption, so that it does not have to be put to death.
But he defected to the side of the rebels.
Basically, it means that he has reached a dead end, and he has made up his mind and intends to fight against the coalition government.
No one knows why he suddenly made up his mind.
It can't be for money and fame.
Although the current rebel army is quite fierce, it is still in a state of being violently suppressed by the coalition government once it comes out.
It's hard to figure out.
