Chapter 36
A dimly lit lamp hung on the wall.

Light and shadow shine down to bless one side.

Standing under the dappled light and shadow, the three ushered in a long-lost meeting.

Familiar but unfamiliar!
There is deep meaning in looking at each other!

Song Shutang had thought about how to face it, but at this moment he didn't want to hide it, he showed his true self, and the suspicion in his eyes glanced at Yan Qinghui and Nie Hong.

He knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply expressed it openly.

Yan Qinghui's eyes were also scrutinizing.

Nie Hong didn't hide his expression.

suspect each other?
Who is acting again?
"Before I heard that you had a mission and didn't bother you, but today I learned that you have completed the mission well, which is a compliment to our team leader." Nie Hong's clean and crisp voice was very satisfied with Song Shutang's performance.

"Not bad." Yan Qinghui seemed to cherish words like gold.

The two really didn't want to disturb Song Shutang's mission, just like his big brother who took care of him as usual, it seemed that there was no change but it felt different.

Before Song Shutang could speak, Nie Hong stepped forward and put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Find a place to gather."

The three of them found a characteristic Maodu hot pot on foot.

Before approaching, the aroma is tangy, peppers, peppers, green onions, garlic, butter, beef, ribs, and tripe are piled up on the table, inviting people to stop.

Nie Hong sat down and ordered sashimi, crucian carp, duck offal, eel, hairy tripe, various vegetarian dishes, etc.

The job of ordering food is always Nie Hong's job. Yan Qinghui never takes the initiative to order food when there are other people with him, and there is no need to ask his opinion, anything is fine.

Song Shutang was always taken care of when he was young, and he really ordered what he liked.

The food is served quickly and the fire is steaming.

The shabu-shabu is really delicious, and the index finger whets the appetite.

But none of the three of them mentioned the matter of the sword holding group during the meal.

Song Shutang could tell that everyone was hesitant to speak, including him, but no one took the initiative to raise the topic.

Because you don't know what to say?
Inside ghost?

Will the other party admit it after a few words?
If that's the case, don't talk at all.

Nie Hong took the topic in another direction and said, "You have completed your mission well. What arrangements does the intelligence department have for you?"

"It's not clear yet."

"I don't think there will be a good arrangement."

"is it?"

"There is a carrot and a hole in the headquarters."

"I don't think so much when I'm new here."

"It will be the same in the future." Yan Qinghui interjected.

Nie Hong nodded and said: "The directors and section chiefs are all appointed after thousands of selections. Everyone has inextricable connections. Either they will be transferred to other high positions, or they will be dismissed for major dereliction of duty. Revoke the position, otherwise the position will be very stable, and the people below will not even think about it.

You are also familiar with Zhu Yue, the team leader of the intelligence department. His position is the team leader. It has nothing to do with ability but has no position at the top. Move, the positions in the headquarters are very stuck. "

Nie Hong didn't shy away from talking about these things, and he didn't mind calling him by his first name.

Song Shutang knew in his heart that Nie Hong was passing on experience to him, and worried that he would not adapt to the work and life in the agency.

"If the position is not promoted, it will not affect the display of personal ability. No matter how strong the personal ability is, the boss will also give credit. It is a pity that he can only be transferred to the field to promote the position, and the team leader..." Nie Hongyan paused at this point.

Yan Qinghui immediately caught the pause and said, "Nie Hong told you this to calm your mind."

"I know in my heart that I won't go into a dead end. How is your current work arrangement?" Song Shutang asked.

Regarding himself, Song Shutang actually didn't expect much in his heart. As Nie Hong said, there are many positions. How can you get one if others don't leave?

Besides, he just arrived here, so he didn't think about these things at all.

And Song Shutang didn't keep his eyes on power, he wanted to find the truth even more.

As for whether he will be promoted and sent out in the future, we will have to wait until the dust settles on the matter of the Sword Holding Group.

Seeing that Song Shutang didn't care about these things, Nie Hong felt relieved and replied, "I'm in the Transportation Section of the General Affairs Department. If you want to use a car in the future, you can find me."

"Aren't you afraid of being caught by the section chief?" Song Shutang asked with a smile.

"Catch my brother and shoulder it."

"Where's Brother Qinghui?"

"In the Operations Section of the Telecommunications Department."

"We will have time to gather together in the future."

"It's just the three of us, we should get together more." Neither Song Shutang nor Yan Qinghui answered Nie Hong's words.

Eating hot pot silently.

After finishing the hot pot, Nie Hong paid the bill, and before leaving, Yan Qinghui said, "If you encounter any trouble, you can contact us."

Not many words but very clear.

It's like what Yan Qinghui told him when he first joined the Sword Holding Group.

The feeling of familiarity is fleeting.

They parted ways in front of the hot pot restaurant.

After watching Song Shutang go away, Nie Hong took out a cigarette and handed it to Yan Qinghui. He struck a match to light it for Yan Qinghui first, and then took it to his mouth to light a cigarette for himself.

Breathing out a puff of smoke, Nie Hong said with a smile on his face, "'Ember' has also grown up, and he can hide things in his heart."

"It's better to hide than you." Yan Qinghui was naturally referring to Nie Hong's subconscious mention of the word team leader.

With the cigarette between his fingers, Nie Hong closed his eyes and said with a smile, "I can't help it."

"If you don't use the lighter, use matches instead?"

"You know in your heart that the lighter is a birthday present from Sister Ao, and I won't use it again until the truth comes to light."

"Pretend."

"You doubt me?"

"Are you not?" Yan Qinghui held a cigarette between his slender fingers like an actor in a film company, but sparks flew from his words.

Nie Hong admitted without any concealment: "Between Shutang and you, I was more suspicious of you, and now that Shutang has proved his innocence, your suspicion has skyrocketed."

"This sentence is also for you."

"Shutang won't let it go, so be careful." Nie Hong smiled.

"You should be careful that the person in the school hall is you." Yan Qinghui didn't back down and the two confronted each other.

In an instant, the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the residence together.

It is useless to gain the upper hand with words, the truth is the most important thing.

"I'm actually more curious about why the school will evacuate. You and I understand his temper. It's unbelievable." Nie Hong walked on the road with a curious expression on his face.

"Then why didn't you ask just now?"

"You are obviously curious, why don't you ask."

"I can bear it." Yan Qinghui's words made Nie Hong choke.

"I can bear it too."

"You mentioned it."

"I just mentioned it to you, but I didn't mention it to Shutang."

"If you mention it, you will mention it."

"Just keep your mouth shut. I won't tell you when I figure it out. I'll suffocate you." Nie Hong gritted his teeth.

"I'll be faster than you."

"Aren't you not interested?"

"Ah."

……

……

Song Shutang ate a full stomach of hot pot and walked back to the "Anti-Japanese War Room" to digest food, but the churning in his stomach was obviously not as violent as the churning in his heart, which caught people off guard.

The two older brothers cared about him as always, and they didn't want him to be distracted during the mission, so they came to see him after the mission and taught him the problems at work.

During the meal, he deliberately didn't mention the group, just because he faced the scene of the sacrifice of his comrades in arms, and couldn't bear him to recall it, so he tacitly didn't ask.

Both of them could see that he doubted in his heart, but none of them got angry. Instead, there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

Don't be polite if you ask him to talk about something before parting, love as if it didn't change yesterday.

But this made Song Shutang's heart flustered.

Going back to the room and lying on the bed, Song Shutang cleared his mind and told himself to remain skeptical, and not to get confused until he got the truth.
