Zhuang Xiaoman was a little nervous when she saw Li Mu like this. Then, she organized her words.
"Sir, Xiaoman has no parents. These things are all in the file, so I won't say them. I like to smoke, drink, and go to bars.”
"Do you think this is what I want to know?”
Li Mu said slowly and opened the file.
"It says here that you're good at firearms and close combat. Your graduation results are also excellent!”
Zhuang Xiaoman was a little confused by Li Mu's words. She did not understand what Li Mu wanted to know!
"What do you think of the party-state? Or should I say, are you absolutely loyal to the party and the country?”
Zhuang Xiaoman hesitated for a moment, and her charming eyes shrank uncontrollably.
"Sir, Xiaoman is absolutely loyal to the country and hates the Japanese to the bone.”
"Oh? Is that so?"
Li Mu stood up and walked to Zhuang Xiaoman.
"You're lying, or rather, you're not completely telling the truth.”
Zhuang Xiaoman was about to retort when Li Mu interrupted her.
"There's no need to say more. You have to know that too much talk leads to mistakes. In our line of work, what we need is not performance, but to know how to live.”
Li Mu smiled.
"I don't want to comment on your previous answer, but I'm sure that you were telling the truth. You really hate Japanese people, and that's enough for me!”
Li Mu picked up the file on the table and looked back at Zhuang Xiaoman.
"Although it is satisfying to do things according to your heart, it is not suitable to do so when you are confused. The training camp wanted to train you all into emotionless assassins, but it obviously failed. How can a person not have emotions? Most idealistic things are just dreams.”
Li Mu pointed at himself and laughed at himself.
"You've been accepted. Remember to report tomorrow.”
After saying that, he left under Zhuang Xiaoman's dazed gaze.
Li Mu entered the personnel department and casually took out nine files. He placed them together with Zhuang Xiaoman's file and handed them over. After signing and registering, he walked out of the Military Investigation Department.
At this moment, Zhuang Xiaoman had just left the Military Investigation Department to find a place to have a drink.
"What a coincidence, we meet again."
Li Mu looked at Zhuang Xiaoman with a smile.
"Sir-"
"Don't call me sir. It's resting time now. Let's go and find a place to have a drink.”
Li Mu's tone was lazy and not as firm as before.
Zhuang Xiaoman guessed something and smiled charmingly at Li Mu.
"Mr. Li, it's Xiaoman's honor to be in such a good mood. Let's go. I happen to know a good place.”
After Zhuang Xiaoman finished speaking, she brought Li Mu to a French bar. The two of them found a booth in the lobby and sat down.
"Hello, what would you like to drink?”
Zhuang Xiaoman glanced at Li Mu, and Li Mu extended his palm, signaling for her to order.
"Open a bottle of absinthe goddess."
"Alright, please wait a moment."
After the waiter left, Li Mu lit a cigarette.
"Do you like to come to bars?"
Li Mu said while observing the surrounding environment.
"Are you here to get drunk, or can you feel at ease by looking at the lively and comfortable environment here?”
Li Mu's questions hit the nail on the head. For a moment, Zhuang Xiaoman did not know how to answer.
At this moment, the waiter came in front of the two of them with a tray, temporarily helping Zhuang Xiaoman out of the predicament.
Li Mu took the bottle and waved the waiter away. He opened the bottle and slowly poured it into the glass.
"It is said that wine can forget worries, but I don't know if it can solve the worries in my heart.”
Li Mu clinked glasses with Zhuang Xiaoman and downed them both.
"Mr. Li, you're young and promising, and you're in a high position. What's there to worry about?”
"Hehe, I am worried about the country, the people, and the nation.”
"Japanese?"
Li Mu nodded, then picked up the cup and shook it.
"To be honest, you're really too inexperienced. You're a fledgling and always wander around these places. Your overconfidence has made you lose your vigilance and your cautious judgment.”
"Li-"
Zhuang Xiaoman was about to ask, but she realized that her vision had blurred. Then, she didn't know anything.
When she woke up again, she found herself in a pitch-black room with her hands and feet tied to a chair.
"You're awake?"
"Who is it?"
"Actually, I've always been curious. It's really incredible that a beautiful and charming woman like you can live until now.”
"You, you are Officer Li? What are you doing?"
"Take a guess. If you're right, I might choose to let you live.”
The voice from the darkness made Zhuang Xiaoman's heart sink. She regretted accepting Li Mu's invitation and blamed herself for letting down her guard.
Zhuang Xiaoman did not know what she was about to face, but it was definitely not something good.
She was very surprised. Why did she, who had always been careful, let down her guard against a man she had only met once? Perhaps there was an aura on this person that made her feel at ease!
PS, thank you for your generosity, I can't sleep again. I'll add another chapter to express my gratitude. Brother Fei, I'm very sorry. I wanted to add more details to your book review, but I clicked on the wrong one and deleted it. I'm sorry.
