I was framed for taking the civil service exam, so I joined the National Security Bureau

The eldest cousin was so anxious that beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead. He rubbed his hands from time to time and stared at Zhang Xing.

However, Zhang Xing seemed to be in deep thought at this time. The eldest cousin wanted to urge him several times, but seeing Zhang Xing's focused expression, he finally chose to wait silently.

After about a minute, Zhang Xing suddenly raised his head as if he had suddenly broken free from some thoughts.

"Cousin, do you remember the last words Li Xianming said on the intercom?"

When the cousin heard this, he nodded vigorously and said:

"I remember! Li Xianming said that Director Shang, who was rushed to the hospital for treatment due to a sudden heart attack, has woken up and will return to our Southwest Branch to take charge of the overall situation. By the way, Li Xianming mentioned just now that Director Shang seems to be about to arrive at the branch."

As he spoke, the cousin paused for a moment, as if he remembered some important details, and then added:

"By the way, Li Xianming seemed to have something to say at the end, but I don't know what happened at the time. The intercom suddenly cut off the signal at that critical moment."

After listening to the cousin's narration, Zhang Xing nodded thoughtfully, and his eyes became deeper, as if he could see through all the secrets hidden under the appearance.

After a moment of silence, he slowly raised his head and looked at his cousin again, asking with a hint of doubt and questioning:

"Don't you think it's a bit strange that Director Shang suddenly decided to return to the Southwest Branch to take charge of the overall situation at such a critical juncture?"

When the cousin heard Zhang Xing's question, his face changed slightly, and he pondered for a while and said:

"There is indeed something wrong. First of all, Director Shang had a sudden heart attack, which is by no means a trivial matter. Normally, it takes quite a long time to carefully recuperate and slowly recover, but he woke up so quickly and was able to come back to take charge of the overall situation. This recovery speed is really ridiculous, so fast that it is even a bit unreasonable."

"Although people can indeed inspire strong willpower when facing sudden and urgent situations, but from the situation Analysis, once Director Shang wakes up, facing such a complex and difficult situation, he chooses to come back to take charge of the situation as soon as possible, regardless of his unrecovered body. To some extent, it seems reasonable. However, I don’t know why, I always feel that since he has handed over the command to Li Xianming before, it shows that he has a certain trust in Li Xianming. In this case, it seems unwise for him to return to the Southwest Branch with his still sick body. Is there any hidden secret that we haven’t noticed yet? Or, is there any other unknown purpose for his return? "

In response to the analysis of his cousin, Zhang Xing suddenly flashed a sharp sword-like cold light in his eyes, revealing deep worry and vigilance. He nodded heavily to his cousin and said:

"I have a bad feeling Premonition, cousin, do you remember that I did not find any memory about Jiang Yu and Xu Zongshen from this RASS member who pretended to be an iceberg. At that time, we inferred that either Jiang Yu and Xu Zongshen did not participate in this operation and were not in the Southwest Branch, or the RASS member who pretended to be an iceberg was too low-level to contact Jiang Yu and Xu Zongshen. "

The cousin was stunned, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then said:

"Of course I remember, but what does this have to do with Director Shang's sudden return to the Southwest Branch?"

Zhang Xing did not respond directly to the cousin's words, but his eyes were as deep as an endless black hole, and he asked again:

"Cousin, do you remember that we asked Li Xianming before whether the No. 055 case file was still in the archives room?"

The cousin nodded again, with a smile on his face. A look of reminiscence:

"Remember, at that time, that old guy Li Xianming said something mysterious, saying that he would never be there again, but he would still be there even if he was not there. Later, we discussed that it was very likely that Li Xianming had already moved the case file No. 055 in advance, and there was no case file No. 055 in the archives room at all, so Li Xianming was always very confident, because even if Jiang Yu and Xu Zongshen successfully broke through and entered the archives room, they would not be able to get the case file No. 055."

Zhang Xing nodded, a glimmer of thought flashed in his eyes, and then said:

"Yes, we also discussed at that time that Jiang Yu and Xu Zongshen might also think that Li Xianming had moved the case file No. 055 in advance, so the six-member team organized by RASS did not attack the archives database from the beginning, but disrupted the power grid outside, notConstantly disrupting order and disrupting the deployment, that is to say, now in the entire branch, the only person who knows about the case file No. 055 is Li Xianming. "

The cousin followed Zhang Xing's words, thought about it carefully, and then nodded in agreement, and his eyes gradually revealed a trace of worry:

"Yes, that's right, it's true that only Li Xianming knows about it."

Zhang Xing asked again, his voice became lower and more serious:

"Only Li Xianming knows about the case file No. 055, and Jiang Yu and Xu Zongshen have guessed that the case file No. 055 is not in the archives, what will Jiang Yu and Xu Zongshen do if they want to get the case file No. 055? "

The cousin was slightly stunned, and said subconsciously: "If only Li Xianming knows the whereabouts of the case file No. 055, then Xu Zongshen and Jiang Yu want to get the case file No. 055, then... there is only one possibility, that is, let Li Xianming speak out the whereabouts of the case file No. 055."

Speaking of this, the cousin's face showed a puzzled and nervous look, and his brows frowned deeper:

"But how could Li Xianming tell the whereabouts of the case file No. 055? We have asked him before, and he kept silent to us and was unwilling to reveal anything, unless Jiang Yu and Xu Zongshen could catch Li Xianming and force him to speak, but even if Jiang Yu and Xu Zongshen have great ability, it is estimated that it is unlikely to catch Li Xianming. "

Zhang Xing's eyes turned cold and said: "What if the person who asked Li Xianming to tell the whereabouts of the hidden case file No. 055 is Director Shang of the Southwest Branch? "

Zhang Xing's words were like a heavy bomb, exploding in the air instantly.

When the cousin heard this, his face suddenly changed, his eyes widened instantly, full of shock. At the same time, he saw Zhang Xing pick up the human skin mask on the ground. In an instant, the cousin completely figured it out, and his face became more nervous and said:

"Brother Air, do you mean that Director Shang, who Li Xianming just said on the intercom has rushed to the branch, is played by Xu Zongshen or Jiang Yu through the human skin mask? His purpose is to get the whereabouts of Case File No. 055 from Li Xianming by playing Director Shang?"

Zhang Xing nodded, his expression serious:

"It is very likely. Think about it. In this chaotic situation, everyone's attention is distracted, and Director Shang is the absolute authority in the branch. If he comes back to ask about Case File No. 055, Li Xianming may relax his vigilance. In addition, if this person's disguise is realistic enough and uses some things that only Director Shang and Li Xianming know to gain trust, Li Xianming might really tell the whereabouts of the case file. "

"Moreover, they cut off the wireless communication signal, which is probably to prevent us from interfering with their plans in the process, or to prevent us from notifying others in time that Director Shang is fake."

The cousin said anxiously: "What should we do now? If this is true, Li Xianming will be in danger. Once the case file No. 055 falls into the hands of the enemy, the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhang Xing pondered for a moment, his brain running fast, thinking about various possible response plans.

"We can't sit and wait for death. Although the wireless communication signal has been cut off, we still have to find a way to get to Li Xianming as soon as possible to stop Jiang Yu and Xu Zongshen's conspiracy. We can walk along the passage, try to avoid areas where there may be enemies, and see if we can find other team members to support Li Xianming together. "

"Moreover, we must be careful. Since this fake director Shang dared to come, he must have made full preparations. We can't easily expose ourselves, otherwise we may fall into greater danger."

The eldest cousin nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's do as you say. Let's act quickly, I hope it's not too late. "

Just when Zhang Xing and his cousin rushed back to the command room.

On the other side, in the command room, Li Xianming was standing at the door of the command room, his eyes fixed on the watch in his hand, his eyes full of anxiety and worry, worrying about the upcoming situation and various variables that might appear.

A familiar figure walked in the corridor of the command room. It was Director Shang who had just contacted Li Xianming, woke up from the hospital half an hour ago, and resolutely rushed to the Southwest Branch.

Director Shang's face was slightly pale. He had just recovered from a serious illness and his steps were slightly frivolous. Every step he took was not so stable, as if his body was still very weak and he might fall down at any time.

His figure was also thinner than before, and the clothes that originally fit him seemed a little loose at the moment. There was a trace of fatigue in his eyes, but there was a firm light.Mang, that is the responsibility for work and the concern for the branch.

His hair was a little messy, probably because he rushed here and didn't have time to tidy it up. Although he was weak, his posture was still upright, and the majestic temperament that he had developed from being in a leadership position for a long time still existed.

When Li Xianming saw Director Shang walking towards him with the steps that had just recovered from his illness, he did not rush to greet him, but made a careful observation first. His eyes were fixed on every move of Director Shang, from the posture of Director Shang walking, the amplitude of waving his hands, to the subtle changes in his eyes and expression, nothing was missed.

Li Xianming knew some of Director Shang's usual habitual movements, such as frowning slightly when he was thinking about a problem, the rhythm of his steps when he walked, etc. He carefully observed these details, trying to judge from these subtle points whether there was anything wrong with Director Shang in front of him.

After observing for a while, Li Xianming did not find anything different from Director Shang who was walking over. The only thing was that his body was a little weaker than before.

After Director Shang came to him, Li Xianming took the initiative to greet him, and said with a concerned smile on his face:

"Director Shang, how are you? How did you get here so quickly? You should rest more in the hospital."

Director Shang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said gently:

"I'm fine, don't worry, although I'm still a little weak, but my heart is always concerned about the situation here at the branch. In the hospital, they gave me a comprehensive examination and careful treatment, and now I feel much better! The situation in the branch is urgent now, how can I feel at ease lying on the hospital bed doing nothing?"

Hearing this, Li Xianming frowned slightly, his eyes full of concern, and then asked:

"Then how is your specific treatment? What did the doctor say? "

Director Shang gently waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry too much, and then calmly replied:

"The doctor said that there is no big problem, as long as you rest and recuperate for a while, you will be back to normal."

Li Xianming naturally doubted that Director Shang could be discharged from the hospital so quickly, but Li Xianming did not express it directly. After chatting with Li Xianming for a few words, Director Shang asked:

"Xianming, let's not talk about small talk for now. Tell me first, what is the deployment of the entire branch now? Have Jiang Yu and Xu Zongshen already sneaked into the branch? Also, what abnormal situations have occurred in the entire branch at present?"

Faced with the question from Director Shang in front of him, Li Xianming did not answer immediately. His eyes continued to carefully observe Director Shang's every move, and even every expression when he spoke.

Li Xianming has always been a cautious person. Although Director Shang in front of him looks the same as before, and he has indeed asked the hospital to confirm that Director Shang has woken up, but that kind of vague intuition makes him feel that things seem not that simple.

Moreover, Li Xianming knows very well that Director Shang is a person who pays great attention to details and orderliness. When asking questions in the past, he usually follows a certain logical order, first understands the overall situation in a macro sense, and then gradually asks about specific details.

But this time, Director Shang actually asked directly whether Jiang Yu and Xu Zongshen had sneaked into the branch, and then asked about the deployment of defense, which is obviously contrary to his previous habits.

In the past, when encountering such a situation, Director Shang would definitely pay more attention to the safety of the team members and the corresponding response measures. However, this time, he hardly mentioned the situation of the team members.

"What, Xianming? Is my question difficult to answer? Or do I give you the command power, which is equivalent to undermining myself now?"

Just when Li Xianming was thinking, Director Shang asked Li Xianming with a little smile.
