Chapter 349: Then I am a traitor in vain
Lin Ze and Liu Jianzhang were talking and laughing in the room. The people outside listened to the laughter and looked at each other in confusion.
Is this a surprise visitor or is he having a seizure? They were so tense just now, why are they chatting about everything now?
Xie Quaner is capable and loyal, but he is somewhat lacking in human relations. He is only determined to follow Director Lin's steps, but he does not have a very good grasp of other relationships.
Otherwise, we won’t be able to deal with those officers.
But then again, it's safer to use such people. As a soldier, it's enough to be capable, and not to be too smart in some aspects.
Xie Quaner listened to the laughter inside, and seemed to understand something, but also seemed not to understand. He nudged Wang Xiaoshou with his elbow and whispered, "Brother Xiaoshou, what are you doing in there?"
Wang Xiaoshou glanced at him and said, "Look, I told you before that you should learn from the director. If that doesn't work, you can learn from me. It doesn't work now, right? Don't you understand?"
Xie Quaner knew that Wang Xiaoshou was just a show-off, so she didn't mind. "Brother Xiaoshou, you're right. I should learn from you. You've been with the director for a long time, and everyone admires you. Tell me about it. I'll buy you a drink some other day."
Wang Xiaoshou was very satisfied with Xie Quaner's attitude, so he pointed out: "Let me ask you, who is Liu Jianzhang?"
"Captain!"
"Wrong, it's the head of the Security Army!"
"That's right, it's the head of the Security Army, Xiaoshou, don't keep us in suspense, just tell us, the Director will be coming out soon."
"Xie Quan'er, look, this Liu Jianzhang, is he openly or covertly against you, trying to trip you up? Why did the director come here today? He came to stand up for you, to vent your anger, to help you establish your authority, but the director is not in the same system as them. Although the Military Police Headquarters can control everything, it's okay to say this here, but it's a bit far-fetched to say this to the leaders of the Administrative Committee, like the Chief of Public Security Qi Ying and his gang. In a word, now is not the time for the director to shoot that deputy head of the regiment. You are no longer yourself, and the director is no longer the original director!"
"Little Hand Brother, what about you?"
Wang Xiaoshou chuckled, "Xie Quaner, you hit the nail on the head. I am still Wang Xiaoshou!"
Xie Quaner bowed earnestly, "Little Hand Brother, thank you."
If Wang Xiaoshou hadn't brought Lin Ze here today, it would probably take Xie Quaner some time to deal with those officers.
Wang Xiaoshou waved his hand, "Why thank me? We are all brothers!"
Xie Quan is not stupid. After listening to Wang Xiaoshou's explanation, he understood the reason behind it.
The director is coming today, and he is definitely going to show off his power, but what will happen after he’s done showing off?
Did he really kill the regiment commander with one shot?
That's a bit too much. Lin Ze could do this before, but now that Lin Ze is a big shot in the headquarters, he can't do this anymore. It's okay to slap someone in the face, but it's not okay to kill someone.
After all, he is a legitimate regiment leader, unlike Wang Kangan who offended Lin Ze before. No matter how powerful Wang Kangan’s cheap father is, he cannot protect him, because he is him, and his father is his father.
The same goes for the other way around. Lin Ze would kill Wang Kangan, but he would never openly attack Wang Kangan's father.
Of course, it was Liu Jianzhang who was more sensible today, otherwise Lin Ze wouldn't mind playing with him. If he couldn't kill him, couldn't he make him live a life worse than death?
After a while, Lin Ze and Liu Jianzhang came out of the house. Liu Jianzhang walked over and grabbed Xie Quaner's hand. "Hey, brother Xie Quan, look, I just heard from Director Lin that someone is trying to trip you up. You said it's you too. I treat you as my own brother, but you don't recognize me as your brother, right? If something like this happens in the future, if you don't tell me the first time, I'll be mad at you!"
Xie Quan first looked at Lin Ze with gratitude, then he also started to act, and clenched his other hand to tightly shake Liu Jianzhang's hand, "Brother, I was embarrassed before, but now it's okay. With your words, I don't have to worry about anything!"
Liu Jianzhang waved his hands twice. "But I have to thank you too. If not for this, I would not have met Director Lin. To be honest, I have really heard of Director Lin for a long time and I admire him. Haha, if I had known that you two were such a close friend, I would have visited Director Lin through you and listened to his teachings in person!"
Everyone acted for a while, and Lin Ze waved his hand and said, "Xie Quaner, have someone stew the lamb so we can have meat for lunch!"
Liu Jianzhang followed behind like a lackey, "Yes, yes, Director Lin, please do us a favor and have a few drinks at noon!"
No one mentioned the officers.
At noon, a large pot of mutton was served, along with bowls of mutton soup sprinkled with red chili oil.
The Self-Defense Corps' kitchen wasn't very good, but it was difficult to make mutton taste bad.
The soldiers outside also started to eat meat. Although each person could not get much meat, it was all meat!
The officers on the small platform were miserable. They squatted there dejectedly, watching the privates eat and drink. They were hot and tired, but they dared not say a word.
The patrolmen guarding them were also eating from bowls, slurping their food. The sound was simply a torture to these officers.
.............
Governing Committee.
Security Forces Headquarters.
Qi Ying was not wearing a military uniform. Instead, he was wearing a black gauze jacket and satin trousers, looking like a rich man.
A person opposite him described in vivid detail what Lin Ze had done in the Self-Defense Regiment today.
Qi Ying listened with a blank expression.
The adjutant on the opposite side said unwillingly: "General Fu, are we just going to let this matter go?"
Qi Ying's courtesy name was Fuwan. He didn't like others calling him commander. Instead, he liked others calling him Fushuai.
Perhaps I miss the glory of the Beiyang era.
Even though Qi Ying became a traitor, this grandson was once a powerful figure in the southeastern half of the country.
Qi Ying didn't even frown when he heard this, "Forget it? I should say that Lin Shengmin just let it go. It's a blessing!"
After that, he stood up, put his hands behind his back and took two steps, then turned around and said, "What else can we do? Can we kill him, or can we take the case to the front army?"
The adjutant fell silent.
Qi Ying said coldly: "Send an invitation to Lin Shengmin, I will treat him to a meal at Qinglinchun."
The adjutant was surprised and asked, "General Fu, are you inviting him to dinner?"
Qi Ying suddenly got angry and grabbed a paperweight from the desk and threw it at him, "I want to invite him to dinner. I'm an old man, a general, and I'm inviting him, the police chief, to dinner!"
The adjutant rolled and crawled out, covering his forehead which was hit.
There were a few bloodstains on the ground.
Qi Ying laughed a little desolately and muttered something.
"What kind of world is this? I'm a traitor, but I'm still being humiliated by such a lowly person."
On second thought, I felt even more aggrieved.
"Then I've been a traitor for nothing?"
