Mahjong

Chapter 35

Tang Shanhai returned to the operation place with the zongzi. Chen Shen stood at the window of the office, drinking kvass, and looking at the door and yard where people came and went.At this time, he saw Tang Shanhai walking into the yard of the operation department with a basket. The guard at the guard room saw Tang Shanhai entering, and immediately recorded something in a register.He also saw Liu Erbao appear from a corner, staring at Tang Shanhai's back lingeringly.

Tang Shanhai walked to the door of his office and opened it with a key, and suddenly felt someone standing behind him.He turned around and saw that Xu Bicheng was looking at himself coldly and asked, "Where did you go just now?"

Tang Shanhai didn't answer, he opened the door and walked into the office, Xu Bicheng followed straight in.Tang Shanhai put down the zongzi on the table, and said lightly: "I brought some special products to your uncle this morning, and he told me to go to Zhanongkou to look at a house, and he wanted to put... a new lady there. Then I saw someone selling zongzi, so I bought some for you."

Xu Bicheng didn't even look at the basket of zongzi, closed the office door, and said softly, "Something went wrong. Chen Shen was attacked on the way back from the orphanage and was almost killed."

Tang Shanhai raised his eyes to look at Xu Bicheng, with the usual expression, "Almost killed? Then it's all right. Did Liu Meina tell you?"

Xu Bicheng looked at Tang Shanhai and asked, "Aren't you surprised at all?"

Tang Shanhai suddenly smiled, "Before everyone becomes a traitor, they should have foreseen that they will be shot at any time, including us."

Xu Bicheng bit his lip, "Do you have something to hide from me?"

Tang Shanhai looked at Xu Bicheng, "What do you want to say?"

Xu Bicheng said with lingering fear: "If he didn't want to stay there for a while, let me go first, I would come back with him, and I might be killed together with him."

Tang Shanhai stepped forward, trying to comfort Xu Bicheng's shoulder, "It seems that you are frightened."

Xu Bicheng took a step back, avoiding Tang Shanhai's hand that was about to reach out, Tang Shanhai's hand was hanging in the air.Xu Bicheng glared at him, "Liu Meina said that this matter can only be done by people in the Operations Department, because only people in the team know that he is going to the orphanage today."

Xu Bicheng turned and left, the door was slammed shut by her, and Tang Shanhai put down the hand that was raised in the air in embarrassment.Liu Erbao, who witnessed Tang Shanhai returning to the operation office, immediately went to Bi Zhongliang's office to report what he had found.After Bi Zhongliang confirmed that Tang Shanhai had gone out to handle Li Moqun's private affairs in Jinwu Zangjiao, he called Chen Shen.

Bi Zhongliang sat at the desk and said: "Your sister-in-law was shocked today. I'm afraid she will suffer from insomnia again at night. The imported medicine you bought for her before seemed to work. She just finished it a few days ago. Can you Do something?"

Chen Shen smiled, "There is no special medicine, it is imported vitamins."

Bi Zhongliang was stunned for a while, "Little Chi, are you fooling people for a long time?"

Chen Shen opened the stool in front of the desk and sat down, saying, "This insomnia is a heart disease, and psychological hints are more effective than any panacea."

Bi Zhongliang nodded, "That's right, money can't buy peace of mind."

Chen Shen looked at Bi Zhongliang and said, "Don't let my sister-in-law go out for the time being these days. We are too popular, and we have arrested people from the CCP and military command one after another. It is normal for them to fight back."

Bi Zhongliang nodded, looked at Chen Shen and said: "You should also be careful, don't go to places like dance halls for the time being. Don't leave an order if you have something to go out, and ask a few more brothers to follow."

Chen Shen asked: "Have you investigated the traitor?"

Bi Zhongliang glanced at Chen Shen and said, "If I find out, can I not tell you?"

Chen Shen smiled, nodded and said, "That's right. But I don't know about one thing. If Li Moqun and Ding Shicun are not slaughtered, what is it that they follow me? There are so many capable people in Wang Puppet, no matter what, I can't be ranked. number!"

Bi Zhongliang said: "Of course Lao Jiang also wants to get rid of Wang Jingwei's serious troubles, but it's not that easy. This is called persimmon picking and pinching."

Chen Shen said with a smile, "Because I don't have a wife, do they think I'm soft?"

Bi Zhongliang glanced at Chen Shen, without smiling, "If it's possible, let them have a look."

Night fell quickly, and the city became a city that never sleeps.No one knows what will happen the next moment in this turbulent era, and who these things will happen to.

In Tang Shanhai's apartment, Xu Bicheng sat at a desk in pajamas and read a book.Tang Shanhai appeared at the open bedroom door, holding a plate in his hand with a steaming rice dumpling on it.He reached out and knocked lightly on the door and asked, "Can we have a chat?"

Xu Bicheng glanced back at Tang Shanhai, then got up and walked to a sofa in the study to sit down.Tang Shanhai peeled off the steaming rice dumpling carefully, looking a little embarrassed because his hands were hot.While peeling the rice dumplings, he said, "I see that you haven't eaten a few mouthfuls for dinner. Is the food not to your liking? The owner who sells rice dumplings is from Chongqing. I guess you might like it."

Xu Bicheng was really hungry, so he took the chopsticks from Tang Shanhai and started to eat the rice dumplings.Tang Shanhai looked at Xu Bicheng who was eating zongzi, and suddenly said: "I apologize to you for my attitude this afternoon. I know, I may have acted too calmly when you were almost in distress, and didn't care enough for you."

Xu Bicheng was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Tang Shanhai and said, "I didn't mean that, I... just a little scared."

Tang Shanhai discussed and said, "Why don't you think this is okay? Let's tell your cousin that you should stop working in the operation department and be a wife at home, it will be relatively safe."

Xu Bicheng shook his head and said, "No need, I won't be so unlucky."

Tang Shanhai smiled suddenly, and said carefully: "Then you have to promise me, whether you are afraid or angry, in order to live longer...you must control your emotions as much as possible when you are outside in the future."

Xu Bicheng lowered his head and said softly: "Actually, some people may not be bad in nature."

Tang Shanhai asked: "You mean...Chen Shen?"

Xu Bicheng was silent for a while before opening his mouth and said: "He has an obstacle to shooting. Although he is a puppet Wang, he has never killed anyone with his own hands."

Tang Shanhai smiled, "Wang Jingwei doesn't need to kill himself."

Xu Bicheng looked up at Tang Shanhai, she shook her head cautiously and said, "This is different. I can feel that he is still kind-hearted."

Tang Shanhai asked: "Did you see him pretending in the orphanage?"

Xu Bicheng recalled the bits and pieces about Chen Shen that he saw in his eyes during these days, and said: "People's true feelings cannot be faked. I always feel that his bastard appearance is a disguise. Maybe he is like us... "

Tang Shanhai felt a prick in his heart and felt a little uncomfortable.He immediately retorted: "First of all, he cannot be like us. If he is also a pawn placed by the party and the state, then what is the significance of the superior sending us here? Why didn't you tell us his identity? Second, you probably don't know, he Like Bi Zhongliang and Li Moqun, he owns the shares of the Huxi Tobacco Gang and is doing heinous acts of poisoning his compatriots. He has led teams to participate in most of the arrest operations of the Operation Department, and many comrades have been arrested under his hands. His hypocritical appearance cannot conceal the fact that he is a traitor."

Xu Bicheng glared at Tang Shanhai and said, "Do you need to say so much? I'll just say one thing. Anyway, he's definitely not the most damned one."

Tang Shanhai looked at Xu Bicheng and decided not to argue with her.He sighed, "Well, you are right, he is indeed not the most heinous traitor, but he is destined to be our enemy, do you agree?"

Xu Bicheng said coldly: "Can you not talk about this?"

Tang Shanhai looked at Xu Bicheng helplessly, but was speechless.

Xu Bicheng tasted the zongzi again, "Thank you for buying the zongzi, it really resembles the Chongqing flavor I've had before..."

Tang Shanhai smiled, did not speak, and relaxed his tense mood.Xu Bicheng's protection and trust in Chen Shen made Tang Shanhai feel uncomfortable, so he directly denied everything Chen Shen had done, and he didn't even want to think about it carefully.

On the second day, Tang Shanhai went to work in the operation department, and met Chen Shen unexpectedly in the corridor.Tang Shanhai took the initiative to go forward to say hello: "Captain Chen, are you still coming to work?"

Chen Shen pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why don't you come to work?"

Tang Shanhai smiled, "I heard that yesterday...you were in some trouble."

Chen Shen nodded, "Then it's more time to go to work. Think about it, they won't go to the operation."

After Chen Shen finished speaking, he looked at Tang Shanhai with a slight scrutiny.Tang Shanhai replied awkwardly: "That's right."
