Chapter 67: You're Far Away From Me

  "No, no," Maggie said and had already walked out of the door.

  After Maji Ping walked out, Mrs. Chen looked at her husband and then glanced at the already departed Maji Ping, saying: "Huh, how was it? Didn't I tell you so?"

  "This kid is quite clever." Chen Xiru held up his cup without moving his eyes and said after a while.

  As he said this, he took a sip of wine.

  "I've seen them all, those supplements are all top-notch." Mrs. Chen said with a smile as she looked at her husband.

  "That's right, you're getting older too, we should use these things to nourish ourselves well." Chen Xiru smiled and said to his wife.

  He thought he was doing a good job of supplementing his body this time.

  As they spoke, the couple burst out laughing. Chen Xiru poured himself another drink.

  "Ah." Mrs. Chen was about to say something.

  "Come on, let's have a good drink with my wife." As he spoke, Chen Xiru clinked his wine cup against his wife's and they both drank it all in one gulp.

  In the office of the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

  Chen Xiru was sitting in his own chair listening to Liang Rujie's report.

  "Bureau chief, actually that Ma Shilong is quite a man. In those years, he and General Fei went through thick and thin together, and it's said that he even saved General Fei's life."

  "So, Fei Shang will be very trusting of this person, but this person often advocates pro-communist remarks in the army. However, people are afraid to say anything because of his relationship with Fei Shang." Liang Rujie said, looking at Chen Xiru.

  "This person's relationship is very deep." Chen Xiru said.

  "Hmm, according to reliable sources, he may make a move soon." said Liang Rujie.

  "What's going on?" Chen Xiru asked Liang Rujie in surprise.

  "He might want to withdraw some troops from the defense zone." Liang Rujie said to Chen Xiru.

  "What?" Chen Xiru asked as if he didn't dare believe his own ears.

  "He might be thinking of withdrawing some troops from the defense zone," Liang Rujie said in a louder voice.

  "Has what you just said been verified?" Chen Xiru looked at Liang Rujie, pointing at him with her finger as she asked. She then stood up from the chair and walked to the window, putting her hands behind her back, gazing out the window.

  "Of course." Liang Rujie said, looking at him.

  "He's thinking of rebelling." Chen Xiru said, turning his face sideways with a thoughtful expression.

  Liang Rujin's eyes were fixed on him, but she didn't say a word.

  "We can't let them go on like this." Chen Xiru said, slowly turning around and looking at him.

  "Director, this person's relationship with Commander Fei is not ordinary. If we were to make a move on him, it would be difficult to explain to Commander Fei. Moreover, the matter of Meng Yao has already caused Commander Fei to have an opinion about us." Liang Rujie looked at Chen Xiru and said, his tone seeming somewhat reluctant to intervene.

  "Having opinions is also a must. It's related to the safety of the party and the country." Chen Xiru opened his eyes wide, looking at Liang Rujie said.

  Liang Rujie simply pouted and stood still, staring at him.

  Chen Xiru slowly walked from the window to the desk, propping himself up with his hands, and turning his eyes to look at Liang Rujie, saying: "Let's do it this way, we'll get this set, and this set will make Mr. Fei speechless."

  He said, and made a gesture with his hand, indicating that he wanted to make sure everything was perfect.

  Liang Rujie moved his head and eyes, standing there, seemingly thinking about how to complete the task assigned by Chen Xiru.

  In the corridor, Liu Shijiang had just come out of his office, with a small agent closely following behind him.

  "Hurry up and go handle it." Liu Shijiang said, looking at the little agent.

  That little spy walked past Liu Shijiang's side, and there was another spy nearby who was also hurrying to catch up with the one in front.

  On this side of the corridor, Maji Ping, with a file bag in hand, also walked over with his head held high.

  As he saw Maji Ping walking by his side, Liu Shijiang turned around and shouted loudly: "Deputy Director Ma."

  Ma Ji Ping, who had already walked ahead, heard Liu Shi Qiang's words and stopped in his tracks. He turned around to face him. At this moment, several people also came out of the other offices nearby.

  They are also watching Liu Shijiang and Ma Jiping. A female spy walked past Ma Jiping's side.

  Ma Ji Ping waved his hand behind him and came to Liu Shi Qiang's side.

  "Deputy Director Ma shook his head." Liu Shijiang looked up at him and said. His clothes were very respectful in appearance,

  "Are you ruining me? Hmm." Maji Ping looked at Liu Shijiang, pouting his mouth, and said with a face full of anger.

  "Is it a life-and-death performance?" Liu Shijiang slightly lowered his head, looking at him with a smile and said in an arrogant tone: "What task is that."

  Liu Shijiang said as he bowed his head and shook it slightly.

  "Brother, don't ask what shouldn't be asked, this is top secret." Maji Ping pointed to the file bag in his hand, with a stern face, looking at Liu Shijiang.

  "Go away, go away, get further away from me." As he said that, Liu Shijiang was about to walk into his own office.

  Ma Ji Ping grabbed his arm and said to Liu Shi Qiang: "Hey, can't do that, I'll report it to the director immediately."

  Ma Ji Ping said, pointing with his hand in front of him.

  Liu Shijiang stood at the door of his office, smiling as he looked at him, thinking to himself, what is Ma Jiping coming to report again? What should I do?

  "Haha." Liu Shijiang looked at Ma Jiping and laughed.

  "Heh heh heh." Maji Ping also burst out laughing.

  He took a look at Liu Shijiang and turned around to walk forward, but he hadn't taken many steps yet.

  "Run." Liu Shijiang shouted.

  Ma Ji Ping, who was walking forward, actually started running. After a few steps, he stopped and turned around to look at Liu Shi Qiang, making a gesture with his hand, then continued to walk quickly towards the front.

  After a while, they arrived at the door of the director's office. Maji Ping stood still and called out: "Report."

  "Come in." Chen Xiru said from inside.

  Hearing the sound, Maji Ping pushed the door and went in.

  On the other side, Liu Shijiang was still standing at the door of his office, watching Maji Ping until he walked in. Only then did Liu Shijiang hold back a smile, turning his eyes as he thought about how to get this information out of Maji Ping's hands, and turned around to walk into the room.

  In Chen Xiru's office, Liang Rujie and Chen Xiru had just finished their conversation. At this moment, Chen Xiru was standing in his own position, while Liang Rujie was standing in front of him.

  Ma Ji Ping just walked in from outside.

  "Alright, let's proceed with this plan, you must be careful." Chen Xiru said to Liang Rujie, pointing at him with his finger.

  "Alright, I understand." Liang Rujie replied and walked past Maji Ping's side, out of the office.

  As soon as Liang Rujie left, Chen Xiru seemed to have put down a burden and sat back in her own seat, turning her head to look at Ma Jiping.

  At this moment, Ma Ji walked a few steps to Chen Xiru's side and stood upright, saying: "Director, here is the telegram sent by Han Yingchun, please take a look."

  He said, then opened the folder, took out a telegram draft from inside, smiled and handed it to Chen Xiru's hand, smiling at him.

  Chen Xiru took the telegram from Maji Ping's hand and read it as soon as he looked at it:

  The vanguard of the Communist army has arrived in the Da Kang Dianfeng area.

  "That's far from Nanjing and the Yangtze River." Chen Xiru held the telegram draft, closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again, slowly saying.

  "It seems we overestimated the Communist Army's ability to advance." Maji Ping said standing upright with his head held high.

  "Good." Chen Xiru moved her eyes, smiled and stood up from the chair: "This intelligence is too good, Jiping, hurry up and send this telegram to Nanjing. With this intelligence, we'll have the upper hand at the negotiating table."

  He looked at Maggie Ping and smiled.

  "Yes." Maggi Ping said loudly as he took over the telegram, turned around and pulled open the office door, then walked out.

  At this moment, Chen Xiru had both hands propped on the office desk, with a very happy smile on his face. Ha ha, with this, I'm not afraid of being looked down upon by my superiors anymore!

  He stood up, the smile on his old face growing thicker. At this moment, he suddenly seemed to have an idea, hastily bent down and opened a drawer, took out a land pass with a Nationalist Party emblem printed on it, looked at it for a moment, and immediately shook the phone.

  "Connect me with Secretary Liu's office." Chen Xiru said into the receiver.

  "Xiao Qiang, come to my office for a moment." With that, he hung up the receiver.

  At the gate of the Military Bureau, several black cars were parked.

  Liu Shijiang held a small box in his hand, with one hand inserted into his pocket, and a smile on his face, walking out of the room with a relaxed and carefree attitude.

  He just walked out of the gate.

  "Shi Qiang." Then came Ma Ji Ping's shouting voice.

  Upon hearing the sound, Liu Shijiang stopped in his tracks and turned around to see Ma Jiping walking towards him from behind, and he pushed himself aside.

  At this time, several people were coming and going from their side.

  Ma Ji Ping ran up to Liu Shi Qiang's side and looked at him.

  "The director asked me to send something to Shi Laoban." Liu Shijiang said, swinging the small box he was holding in front of Ma Jiping.

  That means what I'm going to give you is in here, do you want to know what it is, Maji Ping?

  As he spoke, Liu Shijiang walked towards his own car.

  "What's this?" Ma Ji Ping said, reaching out to take the small leather case from Liu Shi Qiang's hand.

  "Deputy Director Ma, this is top secret." Liu Shijiang said, looking at him while shaking the small leather suitcase in his hand. His face had a proud and mysterious expression.

  As he spoke, Liu Shijiang walked towards his own car, and Maji Ping followed him.

  "What's so confidential?" Ma Ji Ping frowned tightly and asked Liu Shi Qiang.

  "Keep a distance from me." Liu Shijiang said and continued walking forward.

  As Liu Shijiang approached the car and bent down to open the door, Maji Ping followed him a few steps and pressed his hand against the door.
