After waiting for three seconds, Xu Xiaolian's expression did not change as he rushed to the door to reply.
"I'm not sleeping. Who is it?"
"I'm not sleeping. It's me, Captain Xu. I'm Wang Yiming's wife.”
"I'm really sorry to disturb you so late at night. Please open the door. My husband has been sleeping since he came back. I don't know if he's sick. I can't see him alone..."
Of course, Xu Xiaolian could tell that it was his neighbor upstairs, the wife of Deputy Director Wang of the Intelligence Department.
Mrs. Wang's sharp and ear-piercing complaints gave Xu Xiaolian a headache.
He couldn't help but think of a few words.
After the game ended, she remembered that her man was sick. Was she going to keep such a wife for the new year?
Xu Xiaolian furrowed his brows, stood up, and walked forward.
He walked past the mirror and glanced at himself. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he turned the handle and opened the door.
"Mrs. Wang."
Xu Xiaolian's face was expressionless.
He looked up and sized up Mrs. Wang. She was still wearing exquisite makeup and had the most modern curly hair.
However, she had already changed into her pajamas, and a fluffy cloak embroidered with plum blossoms was draped over her shoulders.
"Captain Xu, you haven't slept yet!"
Wang Yiming's wife was the first to speak. She looked at Xu Xiaolian, who was handsome in her eyes, and smiled for no reason.
Sometimes, Xu Xiaolian really admired this kind of person.
Regardless of whether she responded or not, they could still smile like brilliant flowers.
"What did you say about Deputy Director Wang?”
Xu Xiaolian replied softly," Mm." Then, he asked the obvious question.
He was the one who put the special knockout powder in Wang Yiming's teacup. It would take effect in three hours.
According to the time, the latter should have fallen asleep as soon as he got home.
No matter how noisy the mahjong game at home was, he was completely indifferent.
"At first, I thought he was sleeping. It was just the sound of me playing mahjong..."
Halfway through her sentence, Mrs. Wang looked up at Xu Xiaolian.
The pearl necklace around her neck swayed along with her slender figure. Under the illumination of the corridor lights, it flashed with infinite wings of light.
Mrs. Wang smiled at Xu Xiaolian and said,"
"Captain Xu, did the sound of my card game upstairs disturb you?”
"It's not that noisy. It's just that I can hear you playing cards, Mrs. Wang. You won several rounds in a row.”
Xu Xiaolian replied with a smile on his face.
Wang Yiming's wife bent over from the flattery.
She looked at Xu Xiaolian's handsome appearance and did not care about whether her man was sick or not.
After chatting for a while, Wang Yiming's wife obviously knew her limits and turned around to go upstairs.
Xu Xiaolian was stunned.
"Mrs. Wang, didn't you ask me to see if Deputy Director Wang is sick?”
Mrs. Wang was stunned when she heard that. She turned her head resentfully and said to Xu Xiaolian.
"Captain Xu, I'm just going downstairs to see a friend off, so I'm asking you.”
"There's no need to expend so much effort. That old fellow might be tired. As long as he's still panting, he'll be fine!”
After replying, Mrs. Wang didn't wait for Xu Xiaolian's reply and rushed up to the second floor.
Xu Xiaolian looked at Mrs. Wang's back as she hurried upstairs, his expression unchanged.
If he didn't know how to read minds, Mrs. Wang's actions would have sent chills down his spine.
Fortunately, when they looked at each other just now, he could tell that Mrs. Wang had indeed finished playing cards and was on the way to send her friend off.
In addition, she was curious about him, so she casually found an excuse to come over.
Fortunately, Deputy Director Wang had slept for such a long time that she did not suspect anything.
After two minutes, Xu Xiaolian took a step back and gently closed the door.
Reading Mrs. Camden's inner thoughts was only enough to get past this hurdle.
Xu Xiaolian was more concerned about what would happen tomorrow when he met Dai Li, and what he would learn from it.
And what was the situation with the intelligence department on duty?
...
The next morning.
Threads of golden light shone in from the window and refracted on the wall, forming a diagonal line.
Xu Xiaolian woke up early. He stared at the time on his watch and stared blankly at the wall opposite him.
He only got up to put on his clothes when he heard some noise upstairs, pretending to be about to go out.
"Xiao Lian!"
Xu Xiaolian had just turned around to close the door when he heard a familiar voice behind him. It was Wang Yiming.
Xu Xiaolian's expression quickly changed. He turned his head and smiled politely.
Deputy Director Wang was an honest man. He had been in the headquarters for three years. Xu Xiaolian had observed him for a long time. This person only had his beautiful wife in his heart.
Wang Yiming had been in the military headquarters for many years, and he had never been promoted or demoted. He didn't seem to care about this.
Xu Xiaolian liked to deal with people like this, and after a while, the relationship between the two of them was quite good.
"Deputy Director Wang."
Nodding at Wang Yiming, Xu Xiaolian stood rooted to the spot.
"Captain Xu, it's rare to see you. Us brothers usually don't even meet each other. Fortunately, you left a little later today!”
Wang Yiming quickly caught up with Xu Xiaolian.
After walking for a few miles, he opened his mouth and yawned.
Xu Xiaolian noticed this detail and replied with a smile.
"You woke up late today. Deputy Director Wang, you're... You didn't sleep well either?"
"Me?"
Faced with Xu Xiaolian's question, Wang Yiming scratched his head and began to recall everything that had happened last night.
"Don't mention it. I didn't sleep well. I slept too much!”
" Your sister-in-law said that I fell asleep after I got home last night. Even the loud noise they made playing cards didn't wake me up. I don't know what happened. Maybe I'm tired…"
Wang Yiming answered his own question. Xu Xiaolian could tell that he was not lying.
The two of them walked out of Si Yun Apartments and stood by the street, waiting for the rickshaw to stop.
Xu Xiaolian asked Wang Yiming.
"Deputy Director Wang, I went to your office to see you yesterday. Didn't you say that you were on duty last night?”
Xu Xiaolian knew that Wang Yiming was simple-minded and would not doubt his sudden question.
As expected, Wang Yiming quickly spoke up.
"Who knows? This is the meaning of the higher-ups.”
"The operations team hasn't changed shifts yet. There's only the intelligence department. I'm too lazy to ask what's going on!”
Xu Xiaolian fell into deep thought. After a while, the rickshaw arrived.
When they arrived at the gate of the headquarters, the two soldiers from last night had just come out of the guard room with their necks twisted.
He looked like he had just gotten off work or had just woken up.
When they saw Xu Xiaolian and Wang Yiming, they immediately came forward to greet them.
"Hello, Captain Xu!"
"Hello, Deputy Director Wang!"
Wang Yiming nodded slightly at them, while Xu Xiaolian raised the corner of his mouth and smiled at them perfunctorily.
