Mahjong

Chapter 164

Li Xiaonan has been imitating Xu Bicheng's taste for a while, and the decorations in her home are still full of small sentiments that do not suit her temperament. The phonograph plays her favorite music, which is "Silver Flower Flying" by Zhou Xuan. The voice in the phonograph is lazy. There is a bit of enchantment hanging in the middle: "Silver flowers fly, silver flowers fly, silver light penetrates the embroidered curtain..."

Chen Shen said: "You just like listening to Zhou Xuan's songs."

Li Xiaonan ignored him, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you from the CCP or the military?"

Chen Shen picked up a record, played it for a while and said, "Zhou Xuan's songs are all records produced by EMI, right?"

Li Xiaonan emphasized his tone, "I'm asking, are you from the CCP or the military?"

Chen Shen casually put the record back on the table and chuckled, "Don't ask, the less you know, the better."

Li Xiaonan slapped the table and yelled, "Wow, why are you all so good? I can't tell that you are spies every day when I am in front of you, and I look like a fool."

Chen Shen's eyes twitched, "Still acting? The only person I've misjudged these years is you, Li Xiaonan."

Li Xiaonan blinked his eyes innocently, "Then do you want to consider training me to be a spy too?"

Chen Shen looked at the cup on the table.He picked up the cup and took a sip of water, he seemed a little embarrassed to say, "Little man, I hope you can leave, luck like today doesn't happen very often. One Xu Bicheng is enough to make me burnt out, if there is trouble next time It's you, I don't know if I can keep you safe."

Li Xiaonan's tone suddenly became gentle, and he said, "Do you regard me as important as Bicheng?"

Chen Shen was taken aback, took a big sip of water to cover up, and said angrily: "You are obedient, why don't you understand the point? You are in the way, you know?"

Li Xiaonan gave him a blank look, "Just pretend, you like Bicheng, don't think I can't see it. But I don't mind, as long as I'm by your side."

Chen Shen looked at Li Xiaonan who was smiling but had tears in his eyes, and didn't know what to do.He also knew in his heart that he couldn't bear this foolish mistake.He evaded and said, "Go to bed early, I'm leaving."

Secretary Qian, who was severely tortured and bruised all over his body, was officially handed over to the Japanese military police by two Wang pseudo-spies.Ying Zuo sat in the car and smiled at Bi Zhongliang, expressing his satisfaction with the result of the arrest.Bi Zhongliang stood beside him respectfully, talking about something.

Chen Shen and Tang Shanhai stood at the window together and looked at the situation in the yard, as if they were watching a mime movie, silently telling a still unknown result.

Tang Shanhai said: "Chen Shen, sometimes I hate you very much. Every time I rely on you to rescue us, it makes me very embarrassed." His expression seemed to be really distressed.Chen Shen glanced at him with a smile, "Compared to the thank you you said before, I prefer to hear this sentence."

Tang Shanhai sighed, "If I knew you would say that, I should continue to say thank you."

Both of them laughed.Several life-and-death crises have wiped away the suspicion, estrangement and distrust between the two men.Today's Tang Shanhai only wants to treat Chen Shen as a brother, no matter what his position is.This is an inexplicable trust that Tang Shanhai gave to Chen Shen.

Looking out of the window at the military police vehicle gradually going away, Tang Shanhai asked Chen Shen: "Are you really going to marry Li Xiaonan?"

Chen Shen was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect him to ask such a straightforward question.He then laughed at himself: "I can't find a reason not to marry her."

Tang Shanhai looked directly at Chen Shen, "You know that I made a lot of determination to hand over Bicheng to you that night? I fulfilled you, not to give you a chance to hurt her."

Chen Shen nodded, then remained tangled in silence for a while, and asked Tang Shanhai: "Then if you were me, what would you do?"

Tang Shanhai was also silent, and finally sighed all over, "You can do it yourself, brother. If you can't make her happy, I won't give you another chance."

Secretary Qian was taken away, and the dark clouds over Tang Shanhai, Xu Bicheng, and Chen Shen finally cleared up a bit.However, the disappearance of Secretary Qian as the scapegoat was not satisfactory to everyone, just like Su Sansheng who was sitting in a daze on his seat at the moment.

Zeng Shu stood in front of his desk and asked, "Do you think Secretary Qian is really 'Rehmannia glutinosa'?"

Su Sansheng narrowed his eyes, "Bi Zhongliang believes that he is, and Li Moqun believes that he is, so naturally he is."

Zeng Shu frowned, "I don't think it's him."

Su Sansheng snorted coldly, "Whether it is or not, this matter is over."

Zeng Shu understood Su Sansheng's meaning, sighed and reported: "The brothers who were sent to Zhangzhou have returned, and the guy from the Changlong Hotel has not been found."

Su Sansheng's mood suddenly became very irritable, "Go to the neighbor and ask the guy's face, draw it, and then look for it."

Zeng Shu knew in his heart that he was doing this for Li Xiaonan's affairs, and was eager to find Chen Shen's loophole.When he turned around to leave, he suddenly thought of one thing, and stopped again, "Changlong Hotel was closed yesterday, and the boss and his family are gone."

Su Sansheng came to his senses again, "There must be something wrong with this restaurant. The owner's family is hiding. If you find them, you will find Chen Shen's Achilles' heel."

He didn't believe that Chen Shen was an impregnable wall.

Xu Bicheng is always in a trance these days, and the scene of looking at Chen Shen in the luggage room keeps replaying in his mind.On the corridor, Xu Bicheng walked slowly past the door of Chen Shen's office, stopped, staring at the closed door, but did not dare to knock.

Xu Bicheng smiled self-deprecatingly, and wanted to leave, when the office door suddenly opened.Chen Shen, who was about to come out, was also stunned when he saw Xu Bicheng.Xu Bicheng smiled sadly, and said sourly: "I thought this door would never be opened to me again."

From the corner of Chen Shen's eyes, he saw that the corridor was empty at this time, and suddenly grabbed Xu Bicheng and pulled her into his office.Chen Shen closed the door, staring at her intently as if he wanted to engrave Xu Bicheng's appearance into his mind.

Xu Bicheng was so touched by his gaze that his eyes were full of tears, and he said aggrievedly: "Didn't you say that you will cut my hair when I come out?"

Chen took a deep breath and answered the question, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Xu Bicheng's teardrops slid down like a broken thread, looked at Chen Shen and said, "Is it too late now?"

Chen Shen couldn't answer Xu Bicheng, but felt that the surging emotion in his chest had made him unable to hold himself.He couldn't help but took a step forward, grabbed Xu Bicheng's waist, and kissed her lips.Xu Bicheng was stunned by Chen Shen's sudden kiss, and he was melted by Chen Shen's kiss after being stunned for a second.

Such happiness is so precious to them.She also hugged Chen Shen and kissed him back passionately.

On the sofa, the two sat next to each other.Chen Shen wrapped his fingers around Xu Bicheng's hair, and said softly: "Fool, you can't do that again in the future. Always leave dangerous things to me, and you should always consider letting yourself go first."

Xu Bicheng shook his head and said firmly: "If you were me at that time, you would have done the same, right?"

Chen Shen was speechless.Yes, if it were him, he would face all dangers without hesitation.

Xu Bicheng looked at him and smiled, "Since we already know each other's intentions, nothing else matters. We owe the boy too much, no matter how you choose, I won't blame you."

Chen Shen can only bury the pain deeply, no one can understand the pain in his heart, let alone how to promise Xu Bicheng.He could only hold her in his arms again, sighing: "Give me a little time."

It had been a while since Secretary Qian was arrested, Tang Shanhai met with Tao Dachun after confirming that the Operations Department had removed all stalking of him.Due to the leakage of the password book, they are temporarily unable to communicate with their superiors, and the code name "Rehmannia glutinosa" can no longer be used.After discussing, the two decided to let Tao Dachun go back to Chongqing to determine the new password as soon as possible.

Due to the urgency of the matter, Tao Dachun went to the ticket office that afternoon.It happened that Zeng Shu also came out of the ticket office at that time. He saw Tao Dachun get off the rickshaw and recognized him immediately.He was worried that Tao Dachun would have helpers nearby, so in order not to startle the enemy, he didn't go up directly, but quickly returned to the operation place to report to Su Sansheng.

A smile finally appeared on Su Sansheng's gloomy face, and he sneered, "Turn to Chongqing? This is going back to the base camp." After thinking for a while, Su Sansheng waved his hand, signaling Zeng Shu to come over and start deploying.

Chen Shen came from the corridor, just as he saw Zeng Shu coming out of Su Sansheng's office, going downstairs in a hurry, heading straight for A Qiang and other spies, plotting something in the corner of the yard.

Biantou came over with a kettle in his hand, and he didn't know what Chen Shen was looking at, so he said foolishly: "Boss, here comes the boiling water, let me make tea for you."

Chen Shen waved to Biantou.Bian Tou immediately moved to the window, following Chen Shen's gaze, he also saw Zeng Shu, A Qiang and others who were talking downstairs.

Bingtou said disdainfully: "It's sure that nothing good will happen when these few people get together."

Chen Shen looked at him, "Do you know what to do?"

Biantou chuckled, "I know."

The decoration in Li Xiaonan's room seems to have been stuck in the poetic mood that Xu Bicheng likes, but what is playing on the record player is always Zhou Xuan's "Silver Flower Flying", a typical Cantonese ditty, a bit waxy, not like her tune Things women should like.

Li Xiaonan has always been like a complex of contradictions. When he is stupid, he is really stupid; and people who are completely stupid are often the smartest.Chen Shen walked into Li Xiaonan's room and saw a basket of fruit in the living room.This was sent by Su Sansheng this morning.That man with a sullen face always makes Li Xiaonan feel very dangerous.
