Chapter 38: Selling Himself to the National Security Bureau
"The leader wants to see you." The old man said. His body subtly blocked off the possible escape routes for Zhao Tiezhu.
"Alright, whether it's good fortune or bad luck, bad luck can't be avoided." Zhao Tiezhu gritted his teeth and followed the old man. After walking for over ten minutes, the two of them arrived at the Prime Minister's mansion again, familiarly walking up to the second floor and entering Chen Weiguo's study. This time, only Chen Weiguo was in the room, with no sign of Lei Zi.
Chen Weiguo's face turned serious and he said: "Do you know that you have brought about a disaster of unmitigated severity?!!"
Zhao Tiezhu raised an eyebrow and replied, "What's the big deal about killing a smashing?"
"Haha, Smashing! Do you know that this smashing old man is a giant dragon dominating Europe? Do you know that his worth in the country exceeds 15 billion? Do you know that he controls more than 15 companies? Do you know that just his death alone has caused our country a loss of no less than 20 billion? And yet, still smashing?" Chen Weiguo shouted as if enraged.
"You'd better not use parallel sentences with me, anyway, if you want to kill someone, just kill them. I think he's a troublemaker and deserves to die. If his father wants to kill me, then I'll kill his father. It's that simple. Do you want to kill or be killed? Suit yourself." Zhao Tiezhu had an air of nonchalance, as if he had already won over Chen Weiguo, which was indeed the case. If Chen Weiguo really wanted to kill him or hand him over to Li Longba as a personal favor, he wouldn't still be here. He used that long string of parallel sentences just to emphasize his point, something they learned in elementary school language class. This little trick was something his brother had mastered since childhood."
Seeing Zhao Tiezhu in this state, Chen Weiguo was also annoyed. This kid is too much, can't even show a slightly panicked expression? Ah, young people these days are really getting more and more cunning. Chen Weiguo continued, "Fortunately, for now, only I know your identity, the other old guys don't know yet. Actually, if Leizi hadn't told me about you, I wouldn't have been able to guess that you're Mo Ying. I reckon the others won't be able to find out who you are either, but it's not entirely certain, so you need a relatively important and safe identity."
"What identity?"
"National Security Bureau Special Operations Division." Chen Weiguo's face turned slightly serious.
"Am I not already one?" Zhao Tiezhu asked in doubt. "You are at most an extra, taking someone else's certificate as a tiger skin, I want you to really enter the National Security Bureau Special Operations Division! Do things for the country. In this way, first, it is as my reward for hiding you, second, also for the future if your identity is exposed, can give you a chance to survive." Chen Weiguo said, "Whether or not to follow me, I just think it's a pity that you have to die so early."
Zhao Tiezhu furrowed his brow, indeed, now he was just holding an empty ID card from the National Security Bureau's Special Operations Division. When encountering ordinary people, this title was quite impressive, but if he really encountered a big shot, as long as they knew he was just an empty shell, they wouldn't take him seriously, and the National Security Bureau wouldn't intervene for someone who couldn't get things done. So what Chen Weiguo said made sense - as long as he truly integrated into the Special Operations Division, his interests would align with those of the National Security Bureau, and if he really encountered some tricky situations, the National Security Bureau would step in to help resolve them. However, having been used to freedom, he really didn't like being constrained by others.
Chen Weiguo looked at Zhao Tiezhu's gloomy face and said: "Actually, the activities of the Special Operations Division of the National Security Bureau are quite free. Everyone has their own jurisdictional area. If you want to, I can arrange for someone to let you be in charge of FJ City. This way, you can still operate in FJ City, as long as there is a task from the National Security Bureau, you will have to go and complete it."
"Alright!" Zhao Tiezhu agreed with what Chen Weiguo said, since it wouldn't restrict himself and he would only need to help when necessary. In return, he could get protection from a special task force, which was still worth it.
"Clever." Chen Weiguo smiled, "Since you agreed, after a few days when your injury heals, I'll arrange for you to go to Beijing to meet with the old guys from the National Security Bureau. At that time, you can truly enter the Special Operations Division of the National Security Bureau."
"Still have to go to BJ? Why so troublesome?" Zhao Tiezhu wailed.
"Of course, you have to go for the interview, understand? I've already opened the back door for you, just go through the motions and that's it. If you don't even do that, then you're really looking down on the National Security Bureau's Special Operations Division. This is immature, understand? Young people these days are just not mature." Chen Weiguo lectured solemnly.
Zhao Tiezhu bowed his head and listened intently to the teachings, but his eyes darted back and forth, as if he was thinking about something else.
"Alright, that's all for today. Are you going to continue staying in the hospital or what?"
"I'm going home." Zhao Tiezhu said.
"Oh? Did you see Xiaoying today?" Chen Weiguo asked.
"Xiao Ying? Who is that?"
It's Ouyang Ying.
"Oh! I see, calling me Little Ying, you're still young and vigorous, Old Master, your blade is not rusty yet!" Zhao Tiezhu showed a smile that only men would understand.
"Rubbish! She's my grandson's daughter, Lei Zi's cousin, and she just graduated from medical school to intern here. You're still young, how can you be so impure? I was even thinking of introducing you two." Chen Weiguo looked angry but actually wasn't.
"Oh, old man, I was just kidding, just to make you smile. As the saying goes, a smile can take ten years off your age. The more you smile, the younger you look. By the way, where does this little Qing live? What's her phone number? Or QQ is fine too." Zhao Tiezhu said with a flattering smile.
"Get out."
Zhao Tiezhu was magnificently driven out of the study room.
"This is Zhao Tiezhu." Chen Weiguo shook his head and sighed lightly, this time the friend's request, I have done it, but what exactly is the origin of this Zhao Tiezhu.
"Why bother about his business?" The old man said lightly.
"What did you say?"
"This child appears frivolous on the surface, but has a heart of innocence within. This time, he will break and then stand, with an aura on his body that is even more profound than before, and this aura has a tendency to enter his body. When this aura completely enters his body, his martial power will reach another level. Just for this alone, it's worth your investment." The old man remained as calm as ever.
"I hope so as you said."
Zhao Tiezhu drove the car back to the villa, and after opening the door and entering, he saw that all three of them were watching TV. When they saw him return, their faces were expressionless. Even Ling'er, who usually got along with him the most, only glanced at him before filtering him out.
"Three beauties, great!" Zhao Tiezhu greeted.
No one paid attention to him.
"Hey, have you guys eaten yet? If not, let's go eat outside."
Still nobody paid attention to him.
"Alright, I was wrong, do what you want with me." Zhao Tiezhu's face was filled with regret.
"Hmph." The three women each let out a snort and turned to go upstairs.
Zhao Tiezhu helplessly shrugged his shoulders, but a hint of a smile still lingered on his face, warm like sunshine.
Someone is thinking of you, and it's actually a pretty nice feeling.
