    PRESSURE

    CHAPTER 701 - LOYALTY: AH YONG

    How I wish that You Meng would call me again and tell me the truth.

    But there was no sign of movement. I sighed, turned on the phone and called You Meng's cell number again, but the number that was still prompting me was still there: The phone that you have called is turned off, please try again later!

    At this moment, I can't help but curse the mobile company, their design of this prompt, why listen more and more against the ear?

    In reality, the other side didn't turn on their computer, so why did it have anything to do with the mobile company?

    But I really can't hold it in!

    After a few minutes, when the boss had already started cleaning the tank and was filling it with gasoline, I couldn't help but urge him, Hurry up and add a little more, I'll wait for the trip!

    The boss just nodded in agreement, not letting go of his work at all.

    When he thought about it, he felt that it was rather dramatic. The boss who had been full of vigor a moment ago had now turned into this kind of person. No matter good or bad, right or wrong, evil and right, both were big and small, and they were all the same role …

    At that moment, however, my cell phone rang again.

    I suddenly shivered, thinking, could it be that You Meng called again?

    Willing is good, but reality is cruel.

    Looking at the words' Fu Shengyi called 'on the cell phone screen, I sighed, walked a few steps, and pressed the' Answer 'button.

    Fu Shengyi's cute voice came from the other side: Big Brother Zhao, where are you now?

    It's fine that she didn't ask, but when she asked this question, it made me recall the embarrassing things that happened today. If it wasn't for her running out of Honda oil, how could I have suffered so much?

    I said to Fu Shengbing with a straight face, "How is it?

    Fu Shengyi looked like a child who had done something wrong, and his voice immediately lowered: "I'm sorry Big Brother Zhao, it's all my fault. I forgot to tell you, my car--it's running out of gas. Actually, there was still more than half of the oil. The last time my sister overturned an inkwell and got her hands dirty and couldn't wash it with soap, she let out some gas from the gas tank of my car and used it to wash her hands. I hadn't driven out in a long time, so I just remembered it. I'm sorry Big Brother Zhao, I've caused you trouble.

    How could I continue to be angry with her when I heard her sincere voice? I just sighed and said, It's okay.

    Fu Shengyi was silent for a moment, then said: Are you still cheering? You seem to have left the Tianlong Tower for over an hour? You drive too slowly.

    I said shamelessly, It's not that I'm slow, it's — it's just that refueling is too much trouble.

    Fu Shengyi asked doubtfully: What's the problem with cheering up? There were so many gas stations now, everywhere.

    I smiled bitterly. There are many gas stations, but there aren't many that can fill up the wrong gas stations. They were really unlucky today. After running out of gas on the way, they tried to find gas stations to fuel, but they ended up with some 'boycotting Japanese goods' activity. They refused to cheer for the Japanese car no matter what. There was no other way. I paid two more people to help me push the car to a small gas station. What do you think?

    I don't know why, but I really like talking to Fu Shengyi. I felt as if talking to her would make me naive. Whenever I have worries or worries, Fu Shengyi would always act like a happy messenger. A few simple and innocent words would be able to help me recover a bit of happiness.

    Fu Shengyi continued to ask: What happened? It can't be that we added diesel as you said, right?

    You're so smart! He was right. If you add diesel, then add diesel. At most, just dry it and wash it and replace it with gasoline. In the end …

    I glanced at the boss who was working hard, but didn't mention what he had just done. Since he's already changed his attitude, why should we hold on to his little braid?

    Seeing my hesitation, Fu Shengyi couldn't help but ask: What happened in the end, Big Brother Zhao?

    Nothing, I said. I'm cleaning the tank now, and I'll be on my way in a little while with gas.

    Fu Shengyi said with regret: I am truly sorry Big Brother Zhao, it is all my fault, I caused you so much trouble. I will work diligently to refuel, diligently to check the instrument indicator plate.

    Don't. I'm not blaming you. Besides, it's not your fault. I'm glad you lent me your car.

    Fu Shengyi quickly replied: It's my fault! By the way, did you just say -- you said there was a gas station in the middle of a boycott of Japanese goods?

    Right, it's a trend for patriotic citizens to boycott Japanese goods. That gas station was really creative, and the slogan they came up with was' Not fuelling the Japanese car, not serving the Japanese '. Sigh, they thought of that!

    Fu Shengyi tsk-tsked, "It's all my dad's fault! He bought me a car of Japanese car, and it was imported. Don't worry Big Brother Zhao, I will tell my father tomorrow, I also want to open the domestic vehicle, I am about to become a legal citizen of China, I want to give China a chance to build and develop, I want to give it all the support it deserves, I want to firmly support the national product, and boycott the Japanese Goods!

    Hearing Fu Shengyi's generous declaration, a few traces of gratification surged into my heart. If all the boys and girls in China knew about this, like Fu Shengyi, such righteousness, then China would become a harmonious place, and its future would be bright!

    I thought for a moment and said, You just have to do this. Okay, I'll return your car to you as soon as possible.

    Fu Shengyi interrupted me immediately: No return, no return.

    I did not miss the opportunity to tease: Chairman Mao taught us to 'borrow things back in time', how can there be any reason to take them for oneself?

    Fu Shengyi thought for a while and said: It's too dangerous for you to return the carriage! It's all thanks to Uncle Ah Yong this time, even my sister could tell that Uncle Ah Yong was secretly helping you. Uncle Ah Yong usually seemed to be fierce, but in reality, he was quite reasonable. He was much stronger than most people!

    When I mentioned Ah Yong, I couldn't help but to be shocked. I didn't know how he was doing, and how the injuries on his arm were.

    Originally, she wanted to ask Fu Shengyi a few more questions, but she stopped herself. After all, she was still an innocent child, so there were a lot of things that should be kept a secret from her.

    Thus, I continued to humorous ask: Sheng Yi, why do you call Ah Yong uncle?

    Fu Shengyi giggled: I've always called him Uncle.

    If you call me big brother, then shouldn't I call Ah Yong uncle too?

    Fu Shengyi was startled for a moment, but then suddenly realised and said: That's right, that's right. Why didn't I think of that? Then what do we do, why don't I change my tone and call him Big Brother Ah Yong, or - or maybe I should call you Uncle Zhao?

    Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly heard a strange sound coming from Fu Shengyi's phone, and following that, a familiar voice sounded out from the phone: Old Zhao, are you alright? Still alive?

    With such a crafty and barbaric question, other than Fu Shengbing who would rather die than give up, who else could it be?

    It was very obvious that Fu Shengbing had seized the opportunity to ask this question when he was talking to me.

    I immediately replied: I am indebted to the Miss Fu's concern. I am temporarily alive.

    Fu Shengbing burst into laughter: Alright, Old Zhao, you can still recognize that it's me, not bad, not bad, looks like, my voice, has already been engraved in your memory, right?

    I, who was used to her thunder, would definitely not fall for her thunderous words. After living in the minefield set up by Fu Shengbing for so long, I should have at least gained a lot of immunity to it, right?

    I said to Fu Shengbing: Stop talking, I don't have time to talk with you. I want to ask you something.

    Fu Shengbing said: Speak, I will tell you anything I know!

    I'm ashamed, I dare say that China's idioms were all ruined by Fu Shengbing, 'speak whatever you know, speak whatever you want,' was originally a very generous term, but why did it suddenly change from two words into a derogatory term in Fu Shengbing's mouth? He didn't know if she said it on purpose, or if she really meant it wrong.

    Therefore, just like how she criticized Fu Shengyi before, I criticized her for failing the Chinese Literature test! You can't even use idioms!

    Fu Shengbing laughed: I'm just playing with you, do you think I don't know anything about it? Let me tell you, my language level is just right. My composition is always outstanding. If I don't know such a simple idiom, then do you think I have learned it over the past ten years? Do you think I would be an idiot like Sheng Yi?

    I complained to her, "Don't play around with your sister all day, I just think that Sheng Yi knows more than you and is more obedient.

    Fu Shengbing argued with reason: In this society, good children do not enjoy the good fortune. Women, ah, are too honest and too obedient. It makes men even more uninterested. So women have to be rebellious and willful, and that makes them more attractive.

    I blushed with shame, thinking, where did Fu Shengbing learn all these theories?

    But I still changed the topic: That's right, Sheng Bing, that — that Ah Yong, how is he now? Was his injury serious?

    Fu Shengbing said: Are you talking about Ah Yong? He's all right. Skin wounds. From this incident, he could truly tell that my father was someone who was good enough to be a bro. When my father heard that Ah Yong was injured, he personally drove Ah Yong to the hospital to check on him.

    Maybe he had realized something, Fu Shengbing stopped speaking and changed the topic: Old Zhao, let me tell you, Ah Yong is a good guy, you have to thank him well, in this era, who would be so loyal?

    I nodded in agreement and continued to ask: "There is one thing that I don't understand. How did Ah Yong obtain the car key from you and Sheng Yi at that time?

    Fu Shengbing giggled: You guessed right, there's a prize.

    I don't guess, I said. You tell me.

    Fu Shengbing thought for a moment, then said: If you don't guess then I won't say it, since Ah Yong is such a good child, and he's good enough for me, I'll treat him to a drink for you someday, I'll repay this favor for you. If they were to encounter this kind of situation again in the future, Ah Yong would be able to sacrifice himself and let them go.

    CHAPTER 702 - SHIFT TOPIC

    There were still many doubts in his mind that he could not resolve. He wanted to continue asking, but after some thought, he decided against it.

    Seeing that I was silent, Fu Shengbing took the initiative to ask again: Why are you not talking, Old Zhao, didn't you say that you were being very opportunistic with Sheng Yi just now? Trouble me?

    I said, There are some things we have to deal with now.

    Fu Shengbing asked: Where are you now?

    Of course, I couldn't tell her where I was, or this mind-boggling girl would have to come in person. So I followed her tone and said, Guess.

    Fu Shengbing smiled bitterly: "Old Zhao, you think I'm wise, right? It's not like I have a clever plan. Beijing is so big, how can I guess?

    I teased her, Stupid, do you need to ask, I'm in — I'm in Beijing.

    On the other side of the phone, Fu Shengbing almost vomited blood when he heard this answer. However, she didn't continue to question him, but instead said to me in a serious tone: Old Zhao, you have to be more alert, there are my father's men everywhere. Be careful, don't get caught. In my opinion, it's safest for you to bring me with you. I can be your hostage at a critical moment.

    Fu Shengbing bringing up this matter again made me feel somewhat touched, but would I do that?

    I said, All right, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't. I've got a lot of work to do, and it's not going to do you any good to follow me.

    Fu Shengbing said: I know you're annoying me, you hate me, and don't want me to bother you. But I just like you and I'm afraid something might happen to you. In this life, whenever I meet you, all the lowly people will do the same thing. What if … If you really get captured by my dad's people, you have to tell me right away. Like I said, I have one last move I can use to save you.

    I casually asked, "What move?

    Fu Shengbing continued to speak mysteriously: The heavens are forbidding me from revealing my identity.

    I blushed.

    By this time, the owner had already finished his car, cleaned up the gas tank and replaced the gas.

    I was on the phone with Fu Shengbing when I noticed the boss' OK 'sign towards me from the corner of my eyes. I quickly said to Fu Shengbing: Alright, alright, I'm here for some business, I need to take care of it.

    Fu Shengbing suddenly burst out laughing: You're here? Do you know what that means?

    It seems that your comprehension of languages is not an ordinary one. to come up with something to deal with --

    Fu Shengbing interrupted me eagerly. What! I tell you, in general, when a girl comes during her period, she's called an 'affair'. Haven't you ever seen anything from a TV show, like, 'Love in the Sky'? A couple from a TV show, separated from each other, the guy's on vacation, and he can't wait to be intimate with his wife — hehe, he wants to be intimate with his wife, and she says, 'I'm in trouble now, I can't be intimate' — what does that mean? So, you should pay attention to the wording in the future. If you tell a woman that you are in trouble, it would be strange if you didn't let her laugh you out.

    Fu Shengbing kept talking non-stop, until my face started to heat up. I couldn't take it anymore so I hurriedly cut Fu Shengbing off and chided her: Girl, don't you feel embarrassed? Can you be a bit more tactful with your words? Especially when talking to men.

    Fu Shengbing said willfully: This is how I am, I can't change anything. What was there to say? What was there to hide?

    Okay, okay, I said. I have something to do, so I'll hang up first.

    Fu Shengbing hurriedly shouted, "Don't hang up, don't hang up. I'm not finished yet.

    I frowned. What else?

    Fu Shengbing giggled. I wanted to tell you, it's getting cold, you should wear more clothes. Otherwise, it would freeze to death!

    I was startled, thinking, such sincere words, could it be said from Fu Shengbing's mouth? The sun was rising from the west?

    But Fu Shengbing's following sentence completely overturned my judgement.

    Fu Shengbing immediately followed: I've seen it in the newspapers, men, if you don't take care of warmth, if it gets cold, it will affect your sexual functions.

    After hearing this, I really felt like crashing into a wall!

    These were topics that even men would find it embarrassing to talk about, how could Fu Shengbing say them out loud, it was as easy as drinking cold water?

    What a wonderful woman she was! Anyone who didn't know her well would think she was a very frivolous girl, but in reality, her sense of chastity was quite strong. Her line of defense was definitely the best in this highly developed society. It could even be said that some of her ideas had already fallen behind this era. I just don't get it. She's obviously a very conservative and nonchalant girl, but why does she always talk about sensitive topics? Was her mouth and heart — different ages?

    I feel like I'm getting harder and harder to understand Fu Shengbing!

    After hanging up the phone, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was funny.

    She wasn't a bad girl, that was true.

    Although on the surface, she was indeed a bad oil, a bad outstanding.

    But it had to be said that she was the well-deserved thunder person. Other than Qi Mengyan's sister, Qi Meng Nuo, who could stand up against her?

    When I think about Qi Meng Nuo, I actually can't help but remember a lot of things …

    While I was thinking, I walked towards the Honda that had been 'abused'. I checked the front and back of the car to make sure there was nothing wrong with it. Then, I got into the driver's seat and started the car.

    After stabilizing myself over and over again, I dared to drive the car out of the family workshop's small gas station.

    where I'm going to leave some of my footprints --

    As we drove up the road, I once again tried calling You Meng. However, what I got was the same tone as always: The phone you dialed is turned off. Please try again later.

    I almost dropped my phone! Fortunately, the car had been repaired. It was time to ask for speed and efficiency!

    The Honda passed through all five tests and six generals, and in less than twenty minutes, he was already at You Meng's residence, on the side of the street.

    Almost immediately, my heart began to pound.

    I really couldn't imagine what would happen when I barged into Director You's house.

    But what choice did I have?

    After parking the car, I cleared myself of all distractions and steeled my mind before heading towards the Director You's General Building.

    At the door, I once again tried dialing You Meng's cell phone number, hoping for some kind of miracle to happen. However, things did not go as expected, and there was still a wave of annoying notifications coming from the other side: The phone you have dialed is turned off, please dial again later —

    I stood hesitating in the doorway for a long time before I knocked thoughtfully. At this moment, my heart was beating rapidly. Numerous thoughts and speculations enveloped me as I entered an unprecedented tense atmosphere. In this atmosphere, I blindly endured the pressure from all sides, trying to explain everything to my love.

    After a soft tap of cotton slippers, the door was gently opened, and before me appeared a magnificent woman, smiling sweetly and wearing a flowery apron.

    This noble woman was none other than You Meng's mother. Logically speaking, You Meng's mother was also around fifty years old, but she maintained herself well, looking to be not even forty years old, and maybe even younger.

    Furthermore, her appearance is really somewhat similar to You Meng's imagination, to the point that the moment I saw her, my heart could not help but burst out with a somewhat intimate surprise.

    However, mother looked even more amiable than before, and upon seeing that it was me, she immediately laughed: Oh, it's Xiao Zhao, quickly come in. She took my hand and led me into the living room.

    Mother found me a box of King Furong cigarettes, placed it on a plate of melon seeds, and started to ask me, Xiao Zhao, what are you busy with now, I heard from Old that you are going to be a security guard now, right? the mother asked as she gently removed her flowered apron and approached.

    I forced a smile and said, That's right. I'm a security guard right now. Aunty, is Director You not home?

    His mother sat down and poured a cup of tea into the teapot. She pushed it in front of me and said with a smile, He's a busy man. He won't be able to stay home for long. He's in the sea right now.

    I 'Oh' then turned and ran to the main topic: Then - what about You Meng? Is You Meng at home? I don't know why, but after asking this question, my heart immediately became apprehensive.

    Mother then chuckled and said: You Meng is also in the class. Now that Head has a lot of work to do, she hasn't been home for two or three weeks.

    Although her mother's words were quite calm, I felt a peculiar aura from her calm expression. It was this strangeness that confirmed my previous guess and judgement: something must have happened to You Meng, even the Bureau Chief's wife had joined the ranks of those who were trying to hide it from me.

    Perhaps mother noticed the doubt in my eyes, and asked again: Xiao Zhao, have you returned to your hometown?

    Was she deliberately changing the subject?

    I replied half-heartedly, I replied that I did. I have now retired and have more free time than when I was in Secret Service. I often go home to take a look.

    The mother nodded and said: That's good, that's good. Those who sing well, go home often to see, go home often — as parents, they all hope that their children can go home often. Xiao Zhao, filial piety comes first, you must respect your parents. She taught me a few words like a loving mother, then stared at me and asked, By the way, are your family well? Your parents, your family, they won't have any difficulties, right?

    I thought that You Meng's mother had really great ability to beat around the bush. In just a few short sentences, she had already grasped the initiative of the conversation and kept asking me questions.

    This kind of verbal initiative can easily make me feel like it's a cover for something.

    CHAPTER 703 - GENERAL

    I couldn't be too blind before I knew the truth, so I politely answered her questions. She had always been like a kind elder, and she had actually told me about my hometown.

    The mother even described the travel plan for next year with longing and a smile on her face. She said in a very gentle tone, Shandong is a good place. There are many famous people in Shandong as well. I stay at home all day long also be very anxious, prepare to go to Shandong next year, feel the special style of Kong Meng. It is said that in your Yucheng, Shandong Province, there are still sculptures of the Great Yu Dynasty, right?

    I don't know if my mother was really interested in tourism or if she was trying to cover something up. However, I still explained to her, Yes, Auntie. When we were dealing with the water in Yu City, it was in Yu City and the county city surrounding Yu City. In honor of his historical achievements, we have built a statue of him that is over ten meters tall, it is very spectacular.

    Mother laughed and said, Then I am more interested in going to take a look. Haha, when a person gets old, his heart will not get old. He would always want to be like a young person, traveling all the way to the north to see the great rivers and mountains of his country. When I really can't climb back up anymore, it'll be too hard to even think about it!" His mother lightly slapped her thigh. Like a devout Buddhist, her words were filled with worship and longing for all things in the world.

    I said smilingly, Auntie, you're really not that old! If you go out now and say that you're in your thirties, people will believe you.

    A brilliant smile blossomed on her mother's face. She caressed her smooth and round face and smiled at me. You really know how to speak, and you can coax auntie to be happy, right? In the past, when I was young, I followed Old to climb the Xiangshan. My legs were very nimble, so I wouldn't sweat when I climbed up or down. A few days ago, the Bureau organized the families of the cadres to tour Beijing's Famous Victory. I also signed up for the event, but guess what? Sigh, you have no choice but to accept your age, if you were to climb back up the Xiangshan now, you would definitely be out of breath, and when you go down the stairs, you will always worry about falling down. As her mother spoke, she put her hand through her hair. There was a feeling of having experienced the vicissitudes of life, as well as a longing for a better life.

    I only smiled and said, Auntie, I didn't lie to you. You aren't old at all. After saying this sentence, I tried to end the painless conversation and focus the topic onto You Meng, but after thinking about it again and again, I didn't know how to start.

    Mother shook her head thoughtfully and took a sip of her tea. She was silent for a moment.

    I took the opportunity to stand up and take two steps toward the east wall. 'Appreciate' the photos hanging on the wall.

    The picture was inlaid with a very beautiful big picture frame. Inside the frame, it was filled with photos of You Meng's family or single people. I even saw a few photos of You Meng when she was young. They were so cute and innocent, just like a beautiful little angel.

    I said to my mother, Aunty, You Meng was pretty cute when she was young. After such a long time, this photo was still stored so well, so clearly.

    Mama also followed, laughing, Yeah, yeah. You Meng had liked to take pictures since she was young. Everyone praised her for being good-looking and cute. At that time, when she was still in school, there was even a dancing academy that wanted to specially recruit her to learn how to dance, but as a daughter, being influenced by her father since childhood, she was determined to become a soldier or a military doctor … You Meng, this child, was very sensible and talented. As she spoke, her mother also looked at the photo in the frame. Her expression immediately turned grave.

    Seeing that the time was right, he changed the topic: Auntie, has You Meng contacted you recently? Did you call home or something?

    The mother laughed and said, Fight. Of course. My family's You Meng, even though she does things rather rashly, in truth, she is also a young girl. Every day, she would call me at home to say a few words.

    I was stunned for a moment before I continued asking, Did she change her cell phone number?

    Mama was startled. She embarrassedly smiled and said: No change. It's still the same as before. "

    I replied, I don't know what happened, but You Meng's phone was turned off today. I was a bit worried, so — that's why I came over to check on her and ask her about her condition.

    Mother said perfunctorily, It could be -- it could be a meeting, or maybe the phone is out of battery. The youngsters these days are all careless. Even if their phones run out of battery, they still won't recharge it in time. This will just cause trouble."

    I always felt that Mother seemed to be deliberately hiding something, but how could I ask?

    After thinking about it again and again, I mustered up my courage and said to my mother, "Auntie, I heard that You Meng is no longer working in Head.

    Suddenly, her mother was startled. Her eyes flickered as she said: Look at what you are saying! Did you hear the rumors? You Meng had always been at Head C and never moved once. If you want to know what I mean, You Meng shouldn't have gone to the job of bodyguard, she should have been transferred to the seven big teams, becoming a literary man or something, isn't that good? But Old doesn't agree, You Meng is also stubborn, I really can't lose from this pair of father and son. Mother seemed to be intentionally changing the topic. After saying that, she smiled at me and said, Sit down and drink some tea. How about you stay here tonight? Old has always been talking about you! Back then, you were one of his proud subordinates, and you made quite a few meritorious deeds." Mother once again cleverly changed the subject.

    I wasn't in a position to press her any further, so I went back to the sofa and drank a cup of tea with a great deal of thought. Under my mother's cover, I felt that something was getting more and more wrong.

    However, I no longer had the chance to continue asking about You Meng's situation. From mother to mother, I asked every single question, I heard that you've done a good job in the Security Company. What kind of official are you now?

    I smiled awkwardly, Squadron Leader. Of course I couldn't tell her what I was doing.

    Yet, he had taken such a huge risk and came over to find out about You Meng's situation. Could it be that all of his efforts were for naught?

    His mother then asked, Squadron leader? Could he manage a lot of people? I already said it, you are a looter in the Secret Service, but in the society, you are definitely not bad. "

    I continued, Not bad. I can manage three or four hundred people.

    Mother then asked: What are the main projects in Beijing now?

    I said, It's mainly at the capital. Our company has a big project in Wangjing. It's well planned, and I've been staying there."

    Mother Yi nodded her head, That's right, that's right. What were the projects in the capital? Residential quarters, or an office building?"

    I said, They're all middle-sized and large-scale entertainment venues. A big hotel, KTV, and a bathing center. Also, there's a Town Security representative there, over a hundred people.

    Mother said, The entertainment venue? If you work in those places, you have to be careful of your own safety. Although I don't go out often, I also know that there are too many troubles in the entertainment area. You have to be more careful --

    I nodded quickly.

    Mother then asked, Is the pay and benefits all right? The salary in the security industry in Beijing is generally not that high, do you want to work in the Security Company for your whole life?

    I replied, Of course not. The salary was not bad, enough. I'm going to do it for three to two years. When I get to the door, I'll do it by myself. After all, it's not a long term plan. Hehe, I'll definitely think of a way to build my own physical body."

    The mother nodded and said, That's right, that's right. Young people had to struggle hard! When the time comes, just go and look for the Old. He has a lot of connections and will definitely help you walk around. Work hard, young lad. Your future is limitless. His mother encouraged me with a few words, before continuing on to the next topic, Oh right, Xiao Zhao, remember what his aunt said. In society, it is not as easy as being in the army. Is there anyone in society? Endure a moment of peace and quiet.

    I still listened, and didn't get a chance to interrupt.

    As for the mother, she simply took over the speaking power and chattered about life and work for a long time about it.

    I secretly complained in my heart, thinking that if she were to continue speaking like this, when would I be able to cut in and clarify about You Meng's matter?

    He could not help but be anxious in his heart, his face also had beads of perspiration trickling down, but seeing how painstakingly his mother was speaking, how could I be willing to interrupt her, and ask about You Meng?

    It was very obvious that her mother was also using this kind of method to cover up You Meng's situation.

    What was going on?

    I kept speculating in my mind, and my anxiety was palpable.

    Mother started a long story. While she was taking a breath, I quickly changed the topic and asked Mother: Auntie, when was the last time You Meng went home?

    Mother Gedeng, then smiled as she took a sip of her tea and said, About two weeks ago. You Meng came back two weeks ago and bought a massage tool for her father. Old was already an old man with a waist and back, many parts of his body were weak. Old, you repeatedly praised her daughter for her understanding and filial piety.

    I nodded my head, wanting to expose her lies, but I felt that it wasn't right, so I started to beat around the bush, Oh right, Auntie, how about we call You Meng and see if she has time to come back? Now that I'm retired, it's going to be hard to find her. The security area's entrance definitely won't let me in." I laughed self-deprecatingly, but my mind was racing at the speed of a four-processor.

    Her mother's face froze for a moment, and then she said evasively, This is … that's right, I heard from You Meng a few days ago when she called. She said that she seemed to have … left to visit the leader!

    Looking at her twinkling eyes, I knew she was lying. However, what could I do in the face of her constant attempts at persuasion?

    But I was also anxious to know the truth, anxious to see You Meng. Auntie, you're joking. I asked Head's Secretary Huang, Chief C is always in the country, and has no plans to visit you abroad recently.

    CHAPTER 704 - DOUBTFUL MASS

    Her mother's face grew embarrassed, but she said perfunctorily, Maybe — maybe it's a temporary order! It's not like you don't know, the Head has a lot of things to do, there are a lot of things — — Her mother tried to change the topic after a few words, Alright, alright, let's not talk about You Meng anymore. Don't worry, my daughter will definitely not marry you. But then again, are you prepared?

    I asked, stunned, What preparations?

    For example — for example, the attitude of your family, and — it would be best if we could find some time to bring your parents over. We can go over and see them, but I still haven't seen my daughter's future father-in-law's face. Mother gave a self-deprecating laugh, not daring to meet my eyes, and instead took another sip of tea, gripping the cup with both hands, as if she were afraid it would fall to the ground and break.

    At this moment, I finally could not hold it in anymore. After pondering for a while, I frowned and directly changed the topic, increasing the volume of the conversation: Auntie, tell me, what happened to You Meng, what are you concealing for her?

    My mother's expression changed, her hands suddenly shook, and the glass almost fell out of her hand. But she still pretended to be calm and smiled at me: You Meng is fine. Xiao Zhao, what happened to you? Why are you always so suspicious?

    I bluntly said, You Meng's phone has been out of contact for quite a few days already. Furthermore, I have asked the staff of the Head, You Meng is no longer working in the Head. Furthermore, someone also told me that You Meng, she … she appeared in the hospital a while ago, and seemed to be severely ill!

    After listening to her mother's words, the expression on her face once again became complicated.

    But she didn't say anything, just remained silent.

    Suddenly, the phone on the other side of the phone rang. Mother stood up in a hurry and went to pick it up.

    I was startled: Could it be You Meng?

    I stared at my mother, and I couldn't help but stand up. How I wish it was You Meng!

    However, the wish was beautiful, but the reality was cruel.

    After You Meng received the phone, her expression immediately changed. After waiting for the other party to finish saying a few words, his mother said, I will go right now, and hung up.

    His mother turned to face me and said apologetically: Xiao Zhao, this, this, I have to go out for a while. You Meng's second aunt is in a bad situation, I have to go and take a look.

    I couldn't help but stare. Was this an order to be expelled, or was it an excuse my mother had deliberately made to get rid of my questioning?

    But in that case, what can I say? I looked at Mother and said, Go ahead, Auntie. I'll leave now.

    Her mother smiled awkwardly and said, Why don't you wait for me at home? I'll go over for a while. I think I'll be back in the evening.

    I shook my head. I can't, Aunty. I won't be troubling you.

    So I had to leave the house in a disheartened state.

    As soon as I stepped out of the door, I felt an inexhaustible sense of melancholy. The breeze mixed with all kinds of strange elements assaulted me, making me feel as if I had been abandoned.

    After tidying up my clothes, I sat in my borrowed Honda and didn't start the engine for a long time.

    Where is she, my dear?

    With a cigarette in his mouth, he dialed You Meng's cell number N times. However, the same message still sounded: The number you have dialed has been turned off. Please call again later.

    I suddenly had a scary thought: Could it be that You Meng has already disappeared from the world?

    I immediately broke out in a cold sweat, unable to get rid of the doubts that had been plaguing me. How could the situation at this moment be so depressing and frustrating?

    I smoked three cigarettes before I had to open the window and take a breather until the cab was full of smoke. However, the cold wind outside carried a cruel cry as it blew towards the car.

    I did not refuse this kind of cold greeting, letting a kind of bone-piercing cold wash over my helpless heart.

    After about a dozen minutes, Mom did pull out in a red Buick. She obviously didn't see me, but she drove the Buick straight into the driveway and headed south.

    Looking at the Buick moving away, I couldn't help but sigh.

    Counting the numbers, among the country's important leaders and leaders that I know, their mounts are all German cars, American cars and even Japanese cars. Why is there not a single government or army official, or their families, who are qualified to ride domestic vehicle?

    What kind of situation was this, or was it sadness?

    I suddenly remembered what Qiao Ling had told me before. At this moment, I actually felt that it was very profound and touching. China has been doing its best to develop its own brand, and the government has been doing its best to support its own brand. I have to ask you, from top to bottom of Government of China, coupled with enterprises and institutions, how many of these cars are self-made? The leaders of the Government of China and enterprises and institutions, who would fit into a car with their own brand?

    In fact, are Chinese cars inferior to imported cars?

    I don't think so. It was an intangible concept formed in China, that what was imported was good, and what was produced in its own country was bad. How many of China's own products could not be sold at home, but after being exported to a foreign country, even though the price would be much higher than in China, would they continue to sell well? Taking cars as an example, a few self-branded cars in China, such as the Chery s, were still far from being sold abroad. The growth of China's independent brand, there was no good soil at all! If half of the government officials in China were to sit on the domestic vehicle, then the development of their own brand would usher in a new spring. But in reality, how many domestic vehicle in our government units, and even in the army? We can see the s and the Nissan, we can see the Audi masses and the Chevrolet. Almost all of the imported car brands can become purchasing vehicles for the government and the army.

    Looking at the hordes of outbound and imported cars, the figure of domestic vehicle was extremely rare. I couldn't help but sink into my thoughts.

    It wasn't until my thoughts were disturbed by the sound of a cell phone ringing that I realized I had lost my composure.

    I couldn't help but smack my own head and curse myself: What time is it that you're still thinking about domestic vehicle and imported cars! Crazy, absolutely crazy.

    But to be exact, I was so stimulated in some way that I couldn't help but grumble every time I saw a car. But is this the time to complain? My beloved has not been found, not even heard from. What right do I have to think about these things that I should not have worried about?

    There were two voices in my mind, and after a few moments of frantic cursing, I started the engine, turned on the light, and headed straight for the driveway.

    He was going all out! I want to make a trip to Yu Quanshan, I want to personally investigate everything!

    After making my decision, I sped up my speed and headed straight for Yu Quanshan.

    I know it's a hard way.

    However, in order to find out the truth, I still had to brave the challenge.

    I stopped the car at the entrance of Yu Quanshan's North Gate. The security guards at the North Gate welcomed them vigilantly.

    I got out from the driver's seat. When the sentry saw that it was me, he couldn't help but laugh. It's the Secretary Zhao. How come you're free to come back and take a look?

    I replied, I came back to look for someone.

    The sentry looked troubled as he asked, Secretary Zhao wants to go into the mountains?

    I picked up a cigarette and said, Yeah. I'll go look for it--Yellow Staff Officer.

    The sentry's face was full of apology as he said, I'm sorry Secretary Zhao, but the investigation here is very tight. Without your permission, Head wouldn't even be able to enter the mountain.

    I nodded. I know. I won't make things difficult for you. How about this, I want to ask you a question, have you seen By Secretary in this period of time? "

    The sentry was startled, then said with a sudden realization: Oh right, I haven't seen the By Secretary in a while. I was just wondering. Before, she had the habit of doing morning exercises every morning, so he just happened to be running right in front of our guard duty room. But these days, we haven't seen her at all.

    I was surprised. From this, it could be seen that You Meng had indeed not been in the Head for a long time. But where did she go?

    I asked the sentry, Have you heard where the By Secretary went?

    The sentry laughed: Secretary Zhao, can you not deceive me? Secret Service, who doesn't know of your relationship with him? You don't know better than anyone where she is now.

    I smiled awkwardly, but didn't explain. In my mind, I thought of a way to deal with it. Once again, I experienced the feeling of 'when people leave their tea.'

    After taking off her military uniform and leaving Yu Quanshan, it would be difficult to enter again.

    But now that I'm here, I'm going to bring the truth back. Otherwise, how can I be at ease?

    The beloved person seemed to have suddenly evaporated from the earth. The clue she left for me was only the phone that rang twice.

    Seeing my hesitation, the sentry said: Secretary Zhao, how about you take a seat at the guard's door? We can still make this decision!

    I shook my head. No need. No need. I'll make a phone call, first. "

    The sentry pointed at my Honda and asked: When did you buy that car? Ah, Honda, good car! The Secretary Zhao is rich?

    I frowned. What a fart! This car isn't mine, it's borrowed. "

    Sentinel Stunned

    After a while, he stopped pursuing the matter and asked politely, Oh right, Secretary Zhao, can I trouble you to park your car further away from here? You know our rules, foreign cars must be parked three meters away from the perimeter.

    I nodded quickly and obediently parked the car outside the cordon. After all, I had been a sentinel and knew their difficulties. Therefore, I will not make things difficult for them.

    CHAPTER 705 - ROOT-SEARCHING

    Retreating outside the cordon, the sentry exchanged a few pleasantries before entering the gate and standing on the platform.

    I dialed Head's number. On the other side, I heard a familiar voice from Yellow Staff Officer: Heh, Secretary Zhao, why did you call me? Did the sun rise from the west?

    I laughed. The sun goes down from the west. Yellow Staff Officer, can I ask one thing from you?

    Yellow Staff Officer asked: What is it? With our relationship, it doesn't matter if we climb the mountain of blades or descend into the sea of fire.

    It's not that bad! I said. Yellow Staff Officer, it's actually just a matter of you saying, do you want to help or not?

    Yellow Staff Officer repeatedly said: If you don't tell me, how am I supposed to help you? Go ahead. What was going on?

    After a moment's hesitation, I said thoughtfully, Call the doorman and let me in.

    Yellow Staff Officer was startled: What, you came to Yu Quanshan now?

    Yes, I said. I'm outside the North Gate right now.

    Yellow Staff Officer rubbed his mouth, and his voice immediately lost all of its confidence: This, this — — How about this, you wait for me outside for a bit, I'll go over right away.

    I said, Do you need to do that? It was done in one sentence. Don't worry, I am not a Terrorism, and have no political motives. I just want to go in and do some personal matters, which will not affect your job as a guard in the slightest.

    But Yellow Staff Officer still said: I will talk after I leave. Wait for me at the entrance. I'll be there.

    From Yellow Staff Officer's tone, I could infer that it would be difficult for him to make such a decision.

    In three minutes, Yellow Staff Officer was in a hurry.

    The moment we met, Yellow Staff Officer gave me a deep hug and said repeatedly, Secretary Zhao, oh my, Secretary Zhao, it's been a long time since we last met. Du.

    I smiled bitterly: Don't call me Secretary Zhao. I have been away from being a Secretary Zhao for a long time. Just call me Zhao Long.

    Yellow Staff Officer laughed: You will always live in our hearts, always be the Secretary Zhao in our hearts.

    I frowned. Live in your hearts? What, am I dead?

    Yellow Staff Officer said: A slip of the tongue. I mean, everyone misses you. Even Chief C talks about you every day.

    I rolled my eyes and asked, What? Did Chief C ask me?

    Yellow Staff Officer seemed to have realized something as he stuttered: Oh, yeah, Chief asked you about it a week ago.

    I said, Since Chief is so worried about me, bring me in to have a look. I spend every day with Chief. After leaving, I will miss you.

    Yellow Staff Officer pointed at me and said, Secretary Zhao, you have also been here before. You know, Head cannot casually bring people in.

    I grabbed Yellow Staff Officer's braids and scolded him smilingly, Don't talk so much. Last year, the secretary of your hometown came to Beijing for a meeting. Didn't you take him around the mountains? At that time, I was a Security Secretary, did I say anything? The system is dead, and people are alive.

    The Yellow Staff Officer hesitated for a moment, then said: Let's find a place to chat, it's not good to be staying here. He then carried me to the North Gate Guard Station. I hastily grabbed onto his arm and said, Let's get on my car. There are so many people in the duty room, so there are some things that I can't say.

    Yellow Staff Officer didn't object and followed me into the Honda. After entering the carriage, the Yellow Staff Officer started to praise again and again: Sure, Secretary Zhao, you are doing really well these days. Driving a Honda, Japanese Goods, you sure are awesome.

    I handed him a cigarette and opened half the window. Yellow Staff Officer, don't change the topic. We talked about it just now. If you can bring the city secretary in to take a walk around Yu Quanshan, can't you approve me to go in and reminisce about old times with everyone? Brat, you're too heartless. It's too cold for people to drink tea here. Aren't you going to use the top drawer?"

    Yellow Staff Officer didn't dare to look straight into my eyes, and repeatedly sighed, What's different about that?

    I asked, How is it different? Shangguan'er, since it will help you in the future, you can curry favor with me. As a nameless junior, you can't be bothered with me, right?"

    Yellow Staff Officer patted my shoulder, and said: Look where you went! If it were last year, not to mention taking the city's secretary of state for a tour around the mountain, it would not be much of a problem even if he brought his relatives from his hometown to take a walk around the mountain. But now, a few things have happened in the Secret Service, the Bureau has a lot of tight control over these things, the Director You has personally signed the documents, and has prohibited herself from bringing anyone into the, even the official vehicles that are in charge of the Bureau, would have to give proof to enter Yu Quanshan. Secretary Zhao, I am not lying at all. If you don't believe me, you can ask the guard if there is anything going on here.

    Seeing Yellow Staff Officer's sincere face, I did not doubt the authenticity of the matter. However, I still asked him, What happened to Secret Service recently?

    The Yellow Staff Officer sighed and said, "Well, last time there was an incident of the Security Secretary's computer being stolen, and it was even more powerful this time. The Staff Officer Liu brought a group of comrades from the political department in, and in the end they climbed the mountain to take a picture.

    I was stunned for a moment. Is it true or not? It can't be that exaggerated, right?

    Yellow Staff Officer said, "Of course it's true! The fat brother of that trap was as fat as Zhu Bajie, and his belly was as big as if he had been pregnant for ten months. They are not like us, who exercise every day, keep working all day, and are in poor health. It was said that when Staff Officer Liu brought him up the mountain, he was already panting after only climbing a few steps. When he had just climbed to the middle of the mountain, that good friend from before immediately vomited and fell, his legs unable to obey his commands. Suddenly, his head hit a rock, and the game was over. At that time, the head of the Political Department knocked on the table for Secretary Liu.

    I pressed on. Say what?

    Yellow Staff Officer said, Secretary Liu, are you crazy? Bringing people from the Political Department to climb the mountains? Could he bear it? Are the cadres of the government agencies supposed to be used for mountain climbing?

    I couldn't help but sigh. That's right! Now that all the officials in the government have been raised to be fat and white, there's no longer any trace of soldiers left. You can even fall to your death if you climb a mountain, wouldn't it be a joke if word of it got out?

    Yellow Staff Officer asked: What are you laughing at? The one who died became a hero. Yellow Staff Officer patted my shoulder again, and continued: After I fell to my death, Secret Service even started to learn from him, promoting him as Yu Quanshan's student. On the way to collecting materials, he was taking pictures of the materials on the mountain, and because he was too engrossed, he accidentally fell, causing me to become a revolutionary hero. But who didn't know the truth? Everyone knows, everyone says, but can you advertise like that? There's no other way about it, this is to relegate others to be a good example. If someone dies, they can't die in vain. They have to use his death to educate and guide other comrades. They have to become a good example!

    Although the things that the Yellow Staff Officer said were quite thought-provoking, I did not have the mood to continue listening to him speak. Thus, after Yellow Staff Officer finished speaking, I said to him, Alright, alright, stop talking about this. You've gone off topic already.

    Yellow Staff Officer asked me: Then what? Could it be that Secretary Zhao is rich now, and wants to have a drink with me?

    I pressed a finger to Yellow Staff Officer's forehead and scolded him, You wish. If you want to drink, so be it. I can take you to a five-star hotel tonight. There's no problem at all for you to eat or sing!"

    Yellow Staff Officer laughed: Heh, that's too awesome! What a big tone! I'm not that corrupt.

    I lit up the cigarette in my mouth and forced myself to take two puffs of cigarette. After puffing a few puffs of cigarette, I looked at Yellow Staff Officer with a sharp gaze and said: Since you don't dare to bring me into the mountain, how about this, I'll ask you something. You have to answer honestly, what do you think?

    Yellow Staff Officer was stunned for a moment and then asked: What is it? Don't tell me you want me to leak it?

    I replied, Of course not.

    I want to ask about the Yellow Staff Officer, of course it's about You Meng.

    I've taken such a huge risk this time. If I don't find out the truth, how can I go back peacefully?

    Therefore, I directly asked Yellow Staff Officer: Tell me honestly, did You Meng leave the Head a long time ago?

    Yellow Staff Officer was startled, he pointed at me and said, Secretary Zhao, I told you, you wouldn't come here unless you have something to discuss. Why, are you worried that You Meng will work in Head alone?

    I frowned. Don't change the topic. Today, you must clearly tell me where You Meng went, and where exactly is she now? " My emotions were stirred up, because I had previously called the Yellow Staff Officer to ask about it. He had faltered to cover it up, causing me to feel a little unhappy.

    Yellow Staff Officer still persisted on replying, patting me on the shoulder: You Meng has been living well in Head. Today she went -- he went to a meeting at the Bureau.

    I replied, Don't lie to me. Yellow Staff Officer, I hope you can treat me as your friend. At the very least, we were once good comrades in arms, you shouldn't have lied to me after working together for so long.

    The Yellow Staff Officer revealed an ugly expression and said, I am not lying to you. You Meng has really gone to a meeting, if you don't believe me, you can ask Director You.

    I said, I just came out from Director You's house! I keep having the feeling that everyone is lying to me. You Meng seems to have evaporated from the world, and even if I call, I can't get through. I even suspect if she was kidnapped by the Terrorism?

    Yellow Staff Officer patted my shoulder and said, Bro, let's see where you're going. What are you daydreaming about?"

    I called him back, Then help me contact her right now. How about that? Yellow Staff Officer should be able to help with that, right?

    The Yellow Staff Officer revealed a troubled expression and said, What do you two have to do with each other? You Meng and I are just colleagues, and you two are lovers. I'm not going to get involved in this mess. He had skilfully avoided the subject.

    I said somewhat angrily: Yellow Staff Officer, right now, the matter with You Meng is already like a louse on the bald man's head. Do you think it's necessary to keep it a secret? Director You also has it, he really has the ability to collude with so many people to hide things from me. Even the security guards at the north gate told me that it had been a long time since I last saw You Meng. In other words, You Meng isn't even working in the Head right now. Where did she go? Furthermore, her cell phone is not connected to the network and I am unable to contact her.

    CHAPTER 706 - HINT

    Yellow Staff Officer might have realized something, he knows that paper cannot wrap fire, but he can't reveal the truth to me without permission. Therefore, he cleverly threw the difficult problem at Director You: "Alright, alright, since you're so suspicious, then you might as well go find
