The secret war is silent

"Brother, I have achieved great success this time and have been promoted. It's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Brother, let me treat you to dinner. Is this a celebration for you?"

Facing Mao Qiwu's invitation, Luo Yao couldn't refuse.

"Director Mao, can we have a meal but not a drink?" Luo Yao said, "I have a lot of things to do this afternoon."

"Understood, let's just drink two less drinks." Mao Qiwu smiled and pulled Luo Yao out directly and intimately.

Luo Yao went to the military technical room, and he was the deputy director with real power. His future would definitely be different, and he could see the old man at any time. How many people could have this honor?

When the time comes, maybe someone will say that he has everything. The key is that he is still very young. In terms of age, he is nearly twenty years younger.

Being young has an advantage.

It is not an easy task to leave the military command. The military technical room is no longer under the control of the military commander. It can only be said that such opportunities are rare.

Even if some people are not in the Military Command Bureau and go to other places, they still have to be under the jurisdiction of the Military Command, because these institutions are basically controlled by the Military Command.

After three rounds of drinking, Mao Qiwu also started to talk more, and he spoke warmly and heartily.

But Luo Yao is a man of two generations, how could he not know that he is a "smiling tiger" character, who talks sweetly but has a sharp sword, and is very petty. If he offends him, he would be really cruel and very tolerant if he takes revenge.

If you take this kind of person seriously, you will still have to pay for it if you sell it to him.

There will be less dealings with him in the future, and he doesn't have to offend him. On the contrary, maintaining a good relationship will not cost him much at present.

At least that's the case at this stage.

As for his bad things, for now, all he can do is keep them out of sight.

At the wine table, changing glasses, Mao Qiwu was about to kowtow to Luo Yao and become brothers.

Luo Yao did not agree and insisted that Mao Qiwu was almost as old as his father and it was not appropriate to be brothers.

Moreover, what would Mr. Dai think if they really became sworn friends, and what would other colleagues in the military commander think about it? How about scolding him to death?

The result was that Luo Yao had to call him "Uncle Mao", but Mao Qiwu refused and asked him to call him "Lao Mao" directly.

In the end, he got so impatient that he forced Luo Yao to call him "Lao Mao". Luo Yao had no choice but to reluctantly call out "Lao Mao" before running away.

"Secretary Wang, Director Mao drank too much today. When he gets back, make him a bowl of hangover soup. I guess there is a lot of work in the afternoon, so we can't delay it. Mr. Dai will curse." Luo Yao said to the drunken Mao Qi Wu was handed over to Secretary Wang and said.

"I understand, Deputy Director Luo, don't worry."

"By the way, Secretary Wang, I haven't asked you your name yet?" Luo Yao remembered that he still didn't know Secretary Wang's name.

"I, Wang Puchen." Secretary Wang said solemnly.

"Wang Puchen, what a great name. I'll remember you and treat you to tea when you have time." Luo Yao was also a little drunk, and Mao Qiwu was really good at persuading people to drink.

"Thank you, Deputy Director Luo." Wang Puchen's eyes flashed with joy, but he quickly restrained himself.

…

"Go to the guest house!" Luo Yao changed his mind. He couldn't go to the Liu Family Garden in Huangjiaoya with his current appearance. If people like Wang Weijun saw it, it would have a bad influence and be detrimental to his own image.

"Get me some hangover soup."

"Hey, okay." Su Li quickly asked his men to go to the kitchen to prepare.

"Tiger, why does Brother Yao drink so much? He never drinks at noon." Su Li and Yang Fan helped Luo Yao to lie down on the sofa in the office.

"Director Mao's treat requires drinking. Can Brother Yao refuse?" Yang Fan explained.

Su Li nodded, this is true.

"Well, let Brother Yao take a rest here. Brother Yao was originally going to Huangjiaoya this afternoon, but he was delayed..."

"Okay, don't worry."

"How's that girl named Axiang doing?"

"I woke up after a night's sleep. Even though my body is a little weak, it's nothing serious, but I can still hold on. I really underestimated her." Su Li said.

"What are you two talking about?" Luo Yao sat up from the sofa, "Su Li, have you prepared the hangover soup?"

Su Li hurriedly said: "I'm going to the kitchen to take a look."

A quarter of an hour later, Su Li personally brought in a bowl of hangover soup. It was piping hot and smoking: "Brother Yao, it's just fried. Let it rest for a while before you drink it."

"Bring me two cups."

Luo Yao poured the hangover soup into one of the cups, then poured the two cups back and forth seven or eight times. The temperature of the soup quickly dropped, and then drank it in one gulp.

"Su Li stays, Tiger, please stay out of the way." Luo Yao ordered.

"Yes." Yang Fan knew that the next conversation between Luo Yao and Su Li could not be known to him, or it needed to be kept secret from him.

This is too common. Not everyone is qualified to know secrets, and he is not the kind of person who is particularly curious.

"Su Li, before Director Mao invited me to dinner just now, he told me something about you." Luo Yao said.

"Brother Yao, you're talking to me so formally, I'm a little nervous. What's going on?"

"I left you at the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, and I feel I owe you a lot, but I didn't expect that someone would take a fancy to you and want to give you a chance." Luo Yao said after considering his words. He drank so much at noon today. A kind of guilt and helplessness towards Su Li.

He knew very well that once Su Li did this, there would be no turning back, but he couldn't say anything, let alone remind him, or even help.

Moreover, if he makes any moves, it will affect himself. This is really a very painful thing for him.

That's why he didn't refuse Mao Qiwu's offer to drink. He felt uncomfortable.

"We are going to set up a secret investigation team. You will know the main work soon. Director Mao hopes that you will serve as the operational captain of this investigation team. This is the job of arresting people and interrogating them." Luo Yaodao, he couldn't say too much. .

"Secret investigation team?" Su Li was stunned for a moment, "Is it possible that a spy has sneaked into our bureau?"

"Not a spy." Luo Yao shook his head.

"That's..." Su Li was stuck for a moment. He didn't say the word, but he already understood it in his heart.

"You are very low-key. Not many people in the bureau know about you, and you can't be that person. They think you can be trusted, so they selected you. Of course, they also selected our guest house. This is a secret detention center. and a good place for review." Luo Yao explained, "You can kill two birds with one stone without spending a lot of time."

"I understand, Brother Yao, I just obey the order." Su Li said.

"The leader of this inventory team is called Ye Chongguang. He was not a member of the military command team originally. He joined the military command team anew and has nothing to do with anyone else in the military command bureau. This person studied in Japan and was engaged in party affairs and political training. You have to be careful. Get along with him." Luo Yao reminded.

Su Li nodded and said that he understood that those who were engaged in party affairs could not be considered good people. They had a lot of ileum in their stomachs and were more capable of scheming than anyone else.

"Brother Yao, don't worry. I won't compete with him for credit. If you ask for more instructions, I'll just report it." Su Li said.

It's just a temporary team, it's not like we will be tied together in the future.

"Well, it's good if you have this idea. As soon as I have the opportunity, I will transfer you out." Luo Yao promised.

"Thank you, Brother Yao." Su Li said gratefully.

"Why are you so polite? We are classmates. You are also an assistant to Teacher Yu Jie. Our relationship is much closer than ordinary people." Luo Yao chuckled.

Su Li nodded. He worked as an assistant for Yu Jie, and he was a tainted person. Although Yu Jie still had Yu Yin in the military system, basically no one dared to reuse him. Only Luo Yao removed him from the military system. Pulled out of the quagmire.

"Brother Yao, don't worry, I know how to do it."

"Take me to see Axiang."

"Do you want to personally interrogate it?" Su Li asked.

"No, just go and have a look, the interrogation is still up to you." Luo Yao shook his hand, trying to learn to let go.

No matter whether the people under you are doing well or not, you have to let them do it. Otherwise, how can we make progress?

In the cell, Axiang sat on a straw mat. There was a layer of licorice spread under the straw mat, and a blue cloth quilt was folded and put aside.

He just sat like this, his eyes slightly vacant.

Hearing the footsteps, his eyes turned slightly, regaining a bit of energy, but due to the weakness of his body, he showed a touch of pitiful tenderness.

There are no electric lights in the cell, only a light outside the corridor. During the day, there are ventilation windows that can reflect the light from outside. At night, the lights from the corridor bring light in through the gaps in the iron gate.

The entire cell is very dark. People who stay in such a cramped place for a long time can easily get sick even if they are not in jail.

"I recognize you, you are Qin Ming who bullied Miss Jiang." As soon as Luo Yao came in, Axiang stared at Luo Yao and said.

"Miss Axiang, it's better to stop acting. Qin Ming is just a pseudonym for me. You know my real name, so why pretend you don't know?" Luo Yao chuckled.

Axiang's lips slightly tightened, and her face became slightly stern: "The chief ordered me to be arrested and tortured to extract a confession. No wonder the people in the mountain city call you executioners."

"Haha, you have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. It seems that Miss Axiang plans to fight to the end."

"Sir, what kind of law did I break? You caught me and treated me like this. Is this how you treat us patriots who came back from Nanyang?" Axiang asked.

"It's true that you came back from Nanyang, but you're not a patriot, so it's hard to say." Luo Yao said calmly, "There are many problems that Miss Axiang won't be able to get out of here if she doesn't explain them clearly."

"snort."

"You just want to use me to testify against my young master so that you can retaliate. I will not be fooled by you!" Ah Xiang said.

"Since you are still so stubborn, there is nothing more to say." Luo Yao ordered, "Su Li, I leave it to you."

"Understood, Brother Yao!" Su Li agreed, waved his hand, and two people came in from the outside, twisted Axiang's arms, and escorted him out.

After a while, in the torture room.

"ah……"

"Keep your mouth shut, the noise is too loud and it will be too unpleasant to be heard!"

"OK."
