Chapter 440: The Loyal Emperor Association

After Ma Liu left, Director Yan sat at his desk and took out a photo from the drawer. It was a group photo of several veterans. The background of the photo was in a trench. Five or six young soldiers were holding 38 covers in their hands and wearing gray PLA uniforms. It seemed that this photo was a bit old.

Director Yan was in a daze until the young female officer stood in front of him for a long time before he reacted and quickly put the photo down. Director Yan wiped his eyes and said seriously: "Have he left?"

At this time, Director Yan was completely different from his previous expressions, like a majestic general, with a stern face and no kindness at all. If Ma Liu was present, he would definitely sigh that the treatment he had received before was considered extremely high.

The female officer nodded and said, "Let's go!"

Director Yan nodded, stood up, and let the female officer sit aside. This made the female officer a little stunned at the time and dared not sit down for a long time. You should know that if Director Yan had never let her sit down before, in her impression, Director Yan was an extremely majestic and harsh leader, of course, he was also the man she admired the most. Not one of them. She was transferred from an ordinary soldier to the National Security Bureau by Director Yan back then, and gradually became the elite of the Ninth Bureau today, which made her always grateful. Therefore, for so many years, she has always regarded Director Yan as her idol and spiritual belief. She has heard many old comrades telling about some of the stories of Director Yan before, which is definitely a legend.

"What? Didn't you hear my order?" Director Yan frowned.

The female officer sat down quickly, but was a little restrained. Director Yan was not angry. His expression suddenly calmed down. He made a cup of tea for the female officer and said, "Cheng Xue, I remember you should be twenty-five years old this year, right?"

It turns out that the female officer is named Cheng Xue.

Cheng Xue was stunned, her face turned slightly red, and she said, "Director, you should call me No. 9, so I'm used to it."

Director Yan was also stunned, shook his head, and finally showed a rare smile, saying, "No. 9? Yes, it seems that since you were transferred here by me at the age of 18, it has been almost seven years in the blink of an eye. I really rarely call your real name."

"Yes, if it weren't for Director Yan back then, I might have transferred to the local area long ago." Cheng Xue also sighed a little.

Director Yan smiled and said, "You are a talent and will shine everywhere, but do you know why I transferred you to the National Security Bureau and have been cultivating you to this day?"

Cheng Xue shook her head and said in confusion: "I don't know, I've always been curious."

"Because of your courage, your persistence, and other qualities, you can learn and cultivate them, but bravery and persistence are actually related to personality. They are born with them and are not easy to cultivate. So you were attracted by me in the past tens of thousands of soldiers. The facts prove that I did not misunderstand people. Over the years, you have solved many major cases, which have made great contributions to the country and the people. Although you have not received too much merit, applause or honor from flowers, I still say that since you want to join the army, you should be prepared for this kind of mentality, especially because our current department is of special nature, it is even more impossible to give you too many obvious honors, but you must believe that the country will remember you and the people will remember you!" Director Yan said seriously.

Cheng Xue felt a little excited when Director Yan said this. She stood up suddenly, stood at attention, gave a standard military salute, and replied with a strong and powerful voice: "Chief, you are right. Since you have chosen to join the army, you should defend your country and serve the people!"

Director Yan smiled with relief, greeted Cheng Xue to sit down, and said, "I am very pleased that you can have such awareness!"

"Director Yan, you come to me today. You must have some tasks to hand over to me, right?" Cheng Xue finally asked excitedly without the previous restraint.

Director Yan smiled and said, "What? You have no mission recently, and you are itchy again, right? By the way, how are your injuries?"

Cheng Xue's face turned red suddenly, and she lowered her head shyly and said, "It doesn't matter anymore, it's healed."

"Hey, thank you for your hard work, but you are a good person." Director Yan said with emotion: "I hope you have a happy future in the future. But this time I look for you, I really have a task for you. But this task is very dangerous. I am still hesitating now, and I don't know if it should be handed over to you to complete it."

Cheng Xue said anxiously: "Director Yan, please give orders, I will not disappoint you."

Director Yan stood up and walked back to the desk. Cheng Xue also stood up and stood at the table with an excited look. She had performed many tasks in recent years, but she had never seen Director Yan as serious as she is now. She was also a little curious at the moment, not knowing what was special about this task.

Director Yan smoked a cigarette in a rare way and kept frowning, as if he was still hesitating. Cheng Xue couldn't help but say again: "Director, do you don't trust me?"

After looking at Cheng Xue, Director Yan put out the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, as if he had finally made up his mind, stood up, handed a file bag to Cheng Xue, and said seriously: "The intelligence sent back by the intelligence personnel sent abroad shows that a country that has been eyeing our Republic has long sent people to form an organization called the "Zhonghuanghui Association" in Shanghai. This organization is extremely strict. They have set up an intelligence station in Shanghai. It is said that the president of the organization has left China. However, before leaving, he set up an acting president and took the elites of the Nine Bureaus to sneak into Shanghai secretly and then investigate the Zhonghuanghui Association. At the end of the year, the Chairman will go to Shanghai to participate in a private charity event. Before that, he must catch the Zhonghuanghui Association. This task is urgent and there must be many difficulties. Do you have the confidence to complete the task?"

Cheng Xue stood attentively with a confident look on her face and saluted: "Please ensure that the task is completed."

Director Yan nodded, walked to Cheng Xue with relief, patted Cheng Xue's shoulder, and said earnestly: "No. 9, you are my most valued subordinate. Although you are a woman, you are stronger than ordinary men and reassure me. This time, you must not disappoint me, but because of limited information, you must be more careful."

"Yes!" Cheng Xue nodded heavily.

Ma Liu took a taxi and went straight back to the National Guesthouse. Tu Qiang was in his room, while Alisha was watching a lecture, which was still the kind of Chinese. Because she was talking about Chinese studies, she had extremely high requirements for her Chinese proficiency, so Alisha was holding a small book and recording it while muttering.

He called Tu Qiang over. As soon as the latter came, Ma Liu couldn't wait to say to Tu Qiang: "Brother Qiang, do you seem to know this Yan Chengtian very well?"

Tu Qiang smiled and said, "I don't know, I just heard that your grandfather Qin told me some of his things during his lifetime."

"Oh?" Ma Liu smiled and said, "Then let me listen!"

Tu Qiang nodded and brewed for a while before saying, "This Yan Chengtian is also a red child, but his father left early because he was standing in the wrong team at the beginning. He suffered a lot when he was a child. Later, he didn't know who was secretly protecting him and actually let him escape death. Later, he joined the army and then became a perfect match. He worked in the army for seven or eight years and has been unknown. At the age of twenty-five, he suddenly rose to prominence, and then he became the second-in-command of the National Security Bureau at the age of forty and the first-in-command at the age of forty. Until now, he should be in his fifties!"

"Did he say he has received favor from Grandpa Qin?" Ma Liu said in confusion.

Tu Qiang shook his head and said, "The old leader is a very principled person. And the old leader himself was too busy to take care of himself. How could he have the energy and ability to care about his affairs? But I accidentally heard a rumor that he had a deep connection with a major in the central government, so he later rose to the top. However, this is just a rumor. Whether it is accurate or not remains to be verified, but one thing is certain, Yan Chengtian is quite amazing. The old leader said, "He is this."

He rarely looks down on anyone in his life, but this Yan Chengtian is definitely one of them. Moreover, this person is full of mystery. Perhaps the experience of his father had a profound impact on him. Later, he did not stand in the wrong team after several disputes. So if this person is willing to protect you, then you will be really blessed. If he gives you something, you must take it to heart and believe that he will not be wrong. Their National Security Bureau has always been known for being well-informed, and the information he has is relatively detailed and reliable."

Ma Liu said oh, and did not say what Yan Chengtian said, and Tu Qiang asked without curiosity, and then said, "When are you going to go back to Shanghai?"

"Let's go tomorrow. Anyway, the matter in Beijing has been dealt with. I still have to go back to Shanghai to guard quickly, so as not to have an opportunity to take advantage of the Eighth Master." Ma Liu said with a serious expression.

Tu Qiang nodded and said, "I have bought a plane ticket and will go back to Nanjing this afternoon."

"Don't you go back with us?" Ma Liu was stunned.

Tu Qiang frowned and said coldly: "I have some private matters to deal with when I go back to Nanjing. I will go to Shanghai to find you."

Ma Liu saw that Tu Qiang's expression was a little wrong and frowned and said, "Brother Qiang, don't do anything randomly. If there is anything, let's be together."

"Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with you. I just want to talk to Chen Kaibing." A strange expression flashed in Tu Qiang's eyes.

Ma Liu felt a little moved: "You mean, he has something to do with grandpa's death?"

Shaking his head, Tu Qiang said, "I don't know, but I will find out."

Ma Liu took a breath, thinking that Deputy Commander Chen was crying so sincerely at the memorial service, he immediately sighed in his heart that the people in the officialdom were really unbelievable.

Ma Liu didn't ask anything else. Tu Qiang left. Alisa, who was on the side, finally finished the lecture and turned to Ma Liu and said, "Dear, am I going to arrange a special plane now?"

"Forget it, I have another extremely important thing I haven't done, hehe." Ma Liu said mysteriously.
