A few months passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was four or five years.
The sun hung in the blue sky. The clouds could not withstand the heat and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
As usual, Xu Xiaolian was pretending to drink tea in his office while waiting for his subordinate to knock on the door and deliver the newspaper.
He recalled that the night before, Lu Hanqing had sent him a message through the broadcast.
He ordered himself to carefully observe the missing person notice column of today's morning newspaper. The specific content of the mission would be clearly written on it.
Every fifteen minutes, Xu Xiaolian raised his hand and counted the hour and minute hands.
The hour hand finally pointed to eight o'clock sharp, and as expected, there was a knock on the door.
Xu Xiaolian counted to three in his heart and said.
"Come in."
As expected, his subordinate walked in with a newspaper.
Captain Xu, today's morning newspaper."
Xu Xiaolian lowered his eyes and pretended to be unconcerned. He hummed softly.
He placed the newspaper on the table and left with his head lowered.
When he heard the door close, Xu Xiaolian raised his head and pursed his lips. His eyes became sharp.
Picking up the newspaper, Xu Xiaolian skillfully found the missing person notice column.
According to the code that Lu Hanqing had given him last night, he began to search carefully between the lines.
"Commander…In... Be careful."
Word by word, Xu Xiaolian came up with the final answer.
"Recently, the Commander-in-Chief is incompatible with fire and water, please be careful.”
It turned out that Old Lu was reminding him to be careful.
Xu Xiaolian felt relieved and started to read the words on the newspaper.
The Military Commander and the Middle Commander were originally two brothers of the same clan and origin, but in reality, the two sides were always restricting each other, and neither side was willing to submit to the other.
Especially in these years, Dai Li had always been by the chairman's side, allowing the commander to monopolize most of the profits.
The balance tilted, and the two sides began to undermine each other, often having conflicts.
However, they were under the same leader after all, so they could not cause any big waves for the time being. At most, they would only compete in secret.
It was impossible for them to go on a killing spree. Even if they did, Xu Xiaolian would think that it was a commander killing a lieutenant.
The Gong Party wasn't that calculative, and they didn't want to get involved in this superficial dispute between brothers.
Xu Xiaolian acted as if he had a god's perspective. He knew that the Military Commander and the Central Commander had been secretly competing for a long time. There would be a battle eventually!
If he could intervene in this battle and take advantage of the chaos to stir up this dirty water!
Wouldn't that be even more beneficial to his future path of concealment?
Not only could he go deeper into the military, he could also push the conflict between the military and the central leadership to the peak.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaolian's lips curled into a smile.
He quickly dispersed his thoughts, then closed the newspaper and put it aside.
He raised his watch again, and the hour hand pointed to a quarter past eight.
Xu Xiaolian immediately stood up, picked up his military uniform, and went out.
As soon as he closed the office door and took a few steps, Xu Xiaolian's chest hit something stiff.
He came back to his senses and lowered his head.
The thing that was stiff to the touch was none other than the woman's head.
"Aiyo!"
Hearing this, Xu Xiaolian finally saw that the person who came was Gu Yufei, who was carrying a large bag of unknown objects.
"Who is this…"
Gu Yufei rubbed her head, her words were sharp.
Perhaps she was about to raise her head to complain, but when she saw that it was Xu Xiaolian in front of her, her eyes could not help but light up again.
Xu Xiaolian quickly apologized.
Seeing that Gu Yufei was struggling with the things in her hands, he did not say anything and reached out to carry them.
He looked down and saw that it was a machine part used for monitoring.
Xu Xiaolian started to wonder why Gu Yufei, the Section Chief, had to personally carry these things.
"Thank you, Captain Xu."
Gu Yufei's attitude changed very quickly.
Seeing Xu Xiaolian take the heavy object from her hand, she couldn't help but feel shy, and her tone became gentle.
"Section Chief Gu, I'm really sorry.”
"I was in a hurry and didn't see the person in front of me.”
Xu Xiaolian apologized again with an honest look, which made Gu Yufei laugh.
"It's fine, it's fine. I was too careless when I walked.”
"Captain Xu, where are you going?"
Xu Xiaolian skipped Gu Yufei's question and only looked at the thing in his hand.
"I'll help you carry the things back first.”
As they spoke, the two of them walked side by side, unable to stop being polite.
With their backs facing the window at the end of the corridor on the second floor, golden rays of light shone in, slowly stretching their shadows.
"Thank you, Captain Xu. You can leave it here.”
Xu Xiaolian didn't stop until he sent Gu Yufei to the office of the chief of the communications department.
Even though there were some miscellaneous items in the pocket, they were not light at all.
Xu Xiaolian was even a little surprised. Gu Yufei looked like a weak woman, so how could she carry her?
"Section Chief Gu, why are you moving the items yourself? Shouldn't this be the work of your subordinates?”
After a while, Xu Xiaolian asked.
He looked at Gu Yufei's bright and clear eyes, and it was hard to detect how deep and shrewd they were.
"I haven't even started work yet. I was in a hurry to use it, so I brought it over myself.”
"Captain Xu, do you think it's quite heavy?”
Gu Yufei tilted her head as she spoke, her expression full of playfulness.
That's right, the charm of Commander Spray of Flowers could not be underestimated.
Unfortunately, Gu Yufei was not a simple flower. She was a rose that grew in a thorny bush.
Xu Xiaolian didn't admire her as an ordinary woman, but as a comrade.
Xu Xiaolian's thoughts turned quickly. Suddenly, he thought of the bag of miscellaneous items on the table.
He wanted to ask Gu Yufei what she was in a hurry to do, but he did not expect that in the next second, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice behind him.
"Captain Xu."
Xu Xiaolian could tell that it was Qi Siyuan.
The moment he turned around, his expression quickly changed and met her gaze.
"Young Master Qi."
The two nodded.
Qi Siyuan did not pay much attention to Xu Xiaolian, but looked at Gu Yufei suspiciously.
The two people standing together in front of him clearly made him somewhat confused.
"Yufei, you…"
"Oh, I'll go to the general affairs department to get the new listening device.”
"The director just had a meeting yesterday and said that it was specially approved by the chairman and shipped back from abroad. I'm in a hurry to assemble it and take a look.”
"I happened to meet Captain Xu on the way. He saw that it was difficult for me to hold it, so he specially helped me deliver it.”
So that was the case.
Xu Xiaolian's heart sank when he heard this answer.
Qi Siyuan was also relieved. Xu Zhongyi was enough. He really didn't want Xu Xiaolian to be related to his cousin.
"I see. Then, Captain Xu, thank you very much.”
"Hey, right, has Captain Xu had breakfast yet? There's a new bun shop at the entrance. Do you want to try it?”
Qi Siyuan took two steps forward and stood in front of Gu Yufei.
The smile on his face was squeezed together, and it was rather unnatural.
