Chapter 157: The Secret Revealed
Chapter 157: The Secret Revealed
Jia Zhang was cracking melon seeds and spat out the shells, her face becoming grim.
"Bah! Aren't Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong afraid that Li Youquan will take out his gun and shoot them to death!"
Qin Huairu started making sarcastic remarks on the side.
"Mom, don't worry. Li Youquan's bullets recognize people. I guess we'll have to take a detour when we see them."
"You better be careful and stand far away. What if his gun goes off accidentally?"
"you!"
Seeing Qin Huairu's slightly bulging belly, Jia Zhangshi calmed down. It would take ten months for a daughter-in-law to be pregnant. It would be hard for her to have such a good time. She sighed silently in her heart and swore: Humph! I will beat you to death after you give birth!
Jia Dongxu sat on the kang with his head down, without a trace of life on his face.
"Mom, I think we should stay away from Li Youquan, and don't offend him again. Have you forgotten the rumor he spread last time?"
Hearing this, Jia Zhang had no choice but to retreat back into the house.
But Li Youquan was not actually drunk, because he wanted to get out of the boring drinking party as soon as possible, so he looked a little dazed on the surface. He took advantage of the time when he closed his eyes in the car and drank a few sips of spiritual spring water. Now he is completely sober.
However, he was tired of dealing with Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao, so he went back to the house and fell asleep.
The next day.
Li Youquan came to the Intelligence Department.
Bai Ling was waiting in Li Youquan's office early.
There were many more delicious foods on the desk, including snacks from Fengzeyuan and dumplings made by Bai Ling herself.
Seeing Li Youquan come in, Bai Ling quickly walked up to him and smiled sweetly at him.
You're being too nice to me for no reason...Bai Ling isn't trying to bribe me today, is she?
Li Youquan kept muttering to himself. He sat at his desk, looking at the enthusiastic Bai Ling, feeling a little uncomfortable for a moment. He cleared his throat and said.
"What are you doing? Do you feel guilty?"
Bai Ling went back and thought about it. She wanted to go to the battlefield, but she absolutely could not confront Li Youquan head-on. Jiang Wenwen was right. She had to use her advantages as a woman and be gentler.
Bai Ling scooped a glutinous rice ball from the bowl and placed it near Li Youquan's mouth.
"Try it. This is the glutinous rice balls I made myself. Tell me, is your father used to eating it?"
The glutinous rice balls were already delivered to his mouth, and Li Youquan was forced to open his mouth and swallow the glutinous rice balls.
However, the taste of this glutinous rice ball is really good. It not only contains black sesame seeds, but also peanut kernels, and the sweetness is just right.
"It tastes good, but I can't get used to you being so nice to me all of a sudden. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Li Youquan asked straight to the point. He knew in his heart that Bai Ling probably wanted to go to the battlefield.
Seeing that Li Youquan seemed to have given her an opening, Bai Ling quickly walked up to him and said.
"Li Youquan, I still want to go to the front line. Can I participate in the mission next time we go to eliminate enemy spies?"
This time, Li Youquan did not refuse immediately. He wanted to find out why Bai Ling wanted to go to the battlefield so much.
"Why do you want to go to the battlefield so badly? Give me a reason I can't refuse."
Bai Ling was silent for a while before she spoke.
"Youquan, let me tell you, I had a boyfriend before you, and although there was no substantial development between the two of us, he was also killed by enemy spies. It's just that I still haven't found the enemy spy who killed him. No matter what, I will avenge him!"
Li Youquan felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask.
"You love him very much, don't you?"
Bai Ling looked up and saw a hint of sadness in Li Youquan's eyes, but he couldn't deceive Li Youquan.
"Yes, I did love him once, but he is gone, so... now I..."
Bai Ling hadn't finished her words. What she actually wanted to say was that she had developed a good impression of Li Youquan and had slowly fallen in love with him, but she was interrupted by Li Youquan.
"Okay, I get it. If you really want to go to the battlefield, go ahead, but you have to protect yourself well."
"If you have nothing else, go out. I still have work to do."
Li Youquan felt a surge of anger inside, and he continued to speak to Bai Ling.
"By the way, I won't bother you again until you let him go. You don't have to accompany me to celebrate the festival with my father on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I will give this glutinous rice dumpling to my father on your behalf."
Bai Ling stood there, unable to suppress the loss in her heart. She wanted to explain something but stopped herself.
That's right, before she avenged her ex-boyfriend, she couldn't let him go, but so many years have passed and Bai Ling almost forgot what her ex-boyfriend looked like.
What made Li Youquan angry was that Bai Ling had someone in her heart but didn't tell him sooner.
Although that person is dead, he still occupies an indelible place in Bai Ling's heart.
Li Youquan didn't know what to do for a moment, so he asked Bai Ling to go out and wanted to be alone.
Li Youquan sat alone in the office, eating the sumptuous breakfast prepared by Bai Ling for her.
Recalling every little thing with Bai Ling, I felt a surge of loss in my heart.
It seems that I have to put the matter with Bai Ling aside for now.
Having been too distracted by love affairs during this period, Li Youquan feels that his focus should be shifted to his career.
I need to earn money to buy a big house for my aunt and Honghong, and then bring my father over.
And this yard has to be hidden.
Thinking of this, Li Youquan felt a little sad in his heart, because the enemy spies' hideouts had not been completely destroyed yet.
Even if it is cut off, there may still be a steady supply of nests.
He remembered the weapon drawings that Wu Chuanshui had given him.
If our weapons were more advanced, I'm afraid the enemy spies would not dare to lurk here again.
Thinking of this, Li Youquan felt that he should find a way to get more advanced weapons from the enemy spies.
Li Youquan studied the drawings in the office for the whole morning. He closed his eyes and entered the manufacturing space. He placed the drawings and models into the space and set the size of the weapon he wanted to make.
It's just that the manufacturing space has just been enabled, so creating an item is not that fast.
Li Youquan decided to go back to the manufacturing space in two days to take a look.
It was almost time to get off work. He glanced at Xu Damao's invitation on the table. He had originally wanted to give it to Bai Ling, but it seemed there was no need to give it to her now.
I wonder who will attend Xu Damao’s wedding.
However, Xu Damao decided not to give up the opportunity to receive gifts, so he called everyone in the courtyard, young and old.
The day after tomorrow is Xu Damao's wedding, and everyone in the courtyard, young and old, is discussing how much gift to give to Xu Damao.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai was sitting at home smoking his pipe.
"Dongmei, we still have to spend some money on Damao's wedding. After all, we'll see each other again in the future."
An old lady took out a few dollars from an iron box and handed them to Yi Zhonghai: "Our family's money didn't come from the wind. Besides, what good can Xu Damao do for us? Just give him 5 dollars."
