As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Baichuan's eyes darted back and forth, observing the expressions of the two people in front of him.
It was mainly because Zheng Yaoxian saw that he did not move when he heard the voice. Only then did he dare to continue persuading.
"Sixth Brother, in the end, Dai Zuo is really protecting you.”
"Yan 'an and we have always been working together on the surface. How can we compare to the relationship between the military and the middle commanders?”
"I told you not to attend the meeting mainly because I thought that your name was on the wanted list in Yan 'an!”
Xu Xiaolian looked at Zheng Yaoxian.
Perhaps it was because he was having a very intense mental struggle, the latter pretended to be relaxed.
He shrugged and picked up the bottle to pour more wine.
"Of course I know. What are you comforting me for?”
"I've followed Lord Dai for so many years and have gone through life and death situations. It's only natural that he wants to protect me!”
"Fourth Brother, Xiaolian, don't think too much. I'm so happy!”
Zheng Yao first filled the three people's wine glasses, and then, the corners of his mouth curled up.
In Xu Xiaolian's eyes, it was a fake smile.
"In other words, during the few days when Yan 'an sent people to Chongqing, I can have a good holiday. Ling, don't be too envious of me!”
After saying that, Zheng Yao raised his chin and showed off to Xu Baichuan.
The latter was quickly influenced. Seeing that Zheng Yaoxian was not angry, he could not help but feel relieved and happy.
At the same time, Xu Xiaolian, who was sitting opposite the two of them, quickly read Zheng Yaoxian's thoughts.
It wasn't the first time he had felt the selfishness between Guo Jun.
When he needed it, he would flatter her, and when he didn't need it, he would kick her away.
In Zheng Yaoxian's heart, he was no longer disappointed after seeing this.
It was just that he had lost a chance to get close to his own party, so he felt a little uncomfortable.
...
It was already late at night when Xu Xiaolian came out of Zheng Yaoxian's office.
In the headquarters building, other than those who were on duty at night, no one else had left.
Zheng Yaoxian and Xu Baichuan were still drinking and chatting.
The relationship between the two of them had always been good. Presumably, they had a lot to say under the influence of drunkenness.
Xu Xiaolian knew that with his current status, Zheng Yaoxian would never be able to get close to him.
He might as well be more sensible and find an excuse to leave quickly.
Walking out of the General Headquarters, Xu Xiaolian took out a cigarette and happened to see Gu Yufei dozing off on the steps.
He focused his attention and walked over.
"Section Chief Gu, you're..."
Xu Xiaolian asked as he stood in front of Gu Yufei.
The latter turned her head immediately when she heard that. Under the bright moonlight, her eyelashes fluttered, making her look especially beautiful.
"Oh, Captain Xu, I left my keys in the IT department. I'm waiting for someone to send them down.”
"I see. Then don't wait any longer. Come to my car.”
Xu Xiaolian lit the cigarette in his hand and spoke casually.
"No need. I'll just wait here.”
"I just made a call from the guard room three minutes ago. I think he should be coming down soon.”
Gu Yufei was obviously stunned, but she quickly rejected Xu Xiaolian's 'good intention'.
To be honest, she really couldn't understand the man in front of her. He was always like this. Sometimes he was cold, and sometimes he was proactive. He was unfathomable.
"Chief Gu, there's no need to be so polite with me. Go back to the car and wait. It's easy to catch a cold here.”
Xu Xiaolian lit up the cigarette in his hand and invited Gu Yufei again.
It was already late at night. Waiting for the key?
Obviously, the reason that the other party casually mentioned was not enough to make him believe it.
Xu Xiaolian wanted to see what Gu Yufei was up to.
The two of them smiled at each other. As they pulled at each other, a female voice suddenly sounded in front of the building.
"Section Chief Gu!"
The two of them turned around at the same time and saw that it was the staff member on duty from the communications department. She was indeed holding a key in her hand.
Now that he had the key, he did not have to wait in the car anymore.
Gu Yufei composed herself and was about to reply to Xu Xiaolian, but she was interrupted in the blink of an eye.
"I've got the key. Let's go, Chief Gu. It's getting late. I'll send you back.”
Xu Xiaolian quickly replied. Without waiting for Gu Yufei to agree, he turned around and walked towards the car.
It was so domineering that it didn't seem like an invitation, but it also seemed like a notice.
What was this Xu Xiaolian trying to do?
Could it be…What did he see?
Xu Xiaolian's repeated actions made it hard for Gu Yufei to digest. She shook her head and followed closely behind.
After getting into the car, Gu Yufei looked out the window.
Apart from a few stray dogs barking on the street, there was almost no movement.
The lights on the street were almost dim. Xu Xiaolian turned on all the headlights to see the road ahead clearly.
Only then did she realize that it was already late at night.
"Section Chief Gu, why are you so late today?”
Suddenly, Xu Xiaolian asked Gu Yufei.
As he turned the steering wheel, he glanced at Gu Yufei.
She was dressed in casual clothes in the British style.
"Oh, I went to the Jinling dance hall and played with my sisters for a while.”
"I was going to go home after it was over, but when I touched my pocket, I realized that I didn't take my keys with me when I changed.”Gu Yufei pretended to be tired as she leaned against the car seat. Her answer was very smooth and almost couldn't be picked out.
Xu Xiaolian was not in a hurry to reply, nor did he want to expose Gu Yufei.
He didn't even need to think to know that her trip to the Jinling ballroom was just a pretense.
There were only a few days left before the meeting between the two countries.
Presumably, Gu Yufei must have taken over from the same organization and was assigned a new mission.
She deliberately didn't take the key and waited downstairs. She specially asked someone to send her off. There must be something fishy about this.
Gu Yufei had been exposed in front of him, but Xu Xiaolian was not in a hurry to know what her mission was.
As long as it was an operation, there would definitely be arrangements in advance. As long as there were arrangements in advance, there would be nothing that he could not know.
The car stopped in front of Gu Yufei's house. Xu Xiaolian stopped the car and said to her in a deep voice.
"Section Chief Gu, we're here."
"Thank you for your hard work, Captain Xu. Do you want to go up and sit?”
Gu Yufei pursed her lips and smiled at Xu Xiaolian.
Her skin was as fair as a freshly peeled caltrop, and there was a small mole at the corner of her mouth, which made her look even more charming.
"Section Chief Gu, it's too late today. Let's do it another day.”
"As you know, there are a lot of rumors about you and me in the headquarters.”
Xu Xiaolian raised the corner of his mouth slightly and refused half-jokingly.
Along the way, Gu Yufei didn't say a few words. She just stared out of the window, sometimes even lost in thought.
Now, she didn't know what kind of idea she had, but she affectionately asked him to go upstairs and sit down.
The strangeness of this was self-evident.
