Chapter 871 - 870: I’ve Seen Him Before
Beisitian is indeed the head of Qingyu, but Qingyu doesn’t belong to her alone, so she plans to ask others if they are willing to have a long-term cooperation with the Military Department.Qi Xindao was brought back by her, along with Cheng Shuwei. According to Shi Guang, Cheng Shuwei is supposed to be an influential talent, but now, since Cheng Shuwei changed into civilian clothes, he seems different.
Looking at Cheng Shuwei now, he seems like a guy-next-door type. Cough, cough, of course, Cheng Shuwei is older than her, but he looks very charming, completely different from when he was in uniform.
Beisitian could hardly imagine that such a young man would be the important group leader in the serious and cold Hawkeye.
Actually, the Military Department sent Cheng Shuwei because Qingyu’s current strength is extraordinary. Cheng Shuwei, as the leader of Hawkeye’s Pioneer Team, the Military Department hopes that he can gain some understanding of Qingyu through this brief cooperation, and it’s also a chance for him to train, as Qingyu now has some monstrous figures, not to mention several old monsters!
Cheng Shuwei is also quite looking forward to this action, being able to closely contact such a super clan sect is very beneficial for him, but...
When Cheng Shuwei entered the living room, he saw four people around the coffee table playing "Shuang Sheng." Regardless of their age, everyone had paper strips all over their faces, and next to them was an elderly man in a wheelchair, tilting his head watching the cards in others’ hands, his face showing a serious learning manner, worthy of admiration... admiration for what!
Did he enter the wrong door, or is there something wrong with the way he entered? Shouldn’t a mysterious clan like Qingyu be hierarchical and solemn? What’s going on with gathering around playing cards!
Qi Xindao entered the living room and directly sat between Desan and Wei Zhongxun, tilting his head left to glance at Desan’s cards, then tilting right to glance at Wei Zhongxun’s.
Qi Xindao scratched his head; he can kind of mess with Desan, but he hasn’t played Shuang Sheng in decades, almost forgot how to play it! Plus, he has only played single games, not doubles!
Cheng Shuwei stood at the door feeling a bit disoriented, thinking, are you always this familiar with people? Acting all high-nosed at the Military Department, and now you come here and just find a place to sit?
"Come, have some mung bean soup!" Mrs. Qin walked over with a smile, followed by Gao Ma carrying a large basin with brewed mung bean soup inside.
The people playing cards gathered around immediately, Sister-in-law Mo quickly grabbed a small bowl to serve everyone, even Cheng Shuwei got a bowl.
Qi Xindao received his bowl, just noticing Mrs. Qin’s face changed, fiercely staring at him. Knowing he was in the wrong, he quickly took his bowl and retreated to the side to drink.
"Grandma, I want some too~"
"Grandma!"
"Grandma!"
At this moment, three Little Doudings came running in from outside, rushing to Mrs. Qin. She busily served them small bowls, adding a bit of sugar inside.
Cheng Shuwei’s gaze fell on the little boy; this is the five-year-old child, rumored to be able to perform Spiritual Pointing Talisman?
Probably sensing Cheng Shuwei’s gaze, Luo Yirui turned with the bowl edge in his mouth, saw him, then realized there was a stranger here!
Luo Yirui, bowl in mouth, stared at Cheng Shuwei with big eyes, then turned around and said, "Mom, I’ve seen him."
The childlike voice made the living room suddenly go quiet.
Though introductions hadn’t begun yet, everyone knew he was from Hawkeye, how did Luo Yirui, a small child, see him?
Everyone was surprised, Cheng Shuwei was too, wondering where the child had seen him.
"It was when I was kidnapped, when Changle took me running through the woods and saw a group fighting, um, with fighting talismans. The one who looked particularly powerful was him!" Luo Yirui looked at Cheng Shuwei.
That incident had a big impact on Luo Yirui, he didn’t expect Xuan Talisman could be used for healing and saving, and also for fights and killings!
So he remembered Cheng Shuwei deeply.
Beisitian suddenly understood, no wonder later during the investigation it seemed they had encountered strong opponents, by the time they arrived those people had fled, leaving only three people knocked out by Luo Yirui.
Beisitian looked at Hawkeye, saying this was supposed to be the first cooperation between a clan sect and the Military Department, why keep things hidden like this?
Cheng Shuwei knew if he didn’t explain this well, it would definitely affect the cooperation between both sides.
"We participated in that mission secretly. Commander Luo was out in the open, we were in the dark, Hawkeye was full of battle strength, but breaking through those poisonous mists and insects was truly difficult, so we cooperated secretly to restrain the opponent’s strength, letting you ease pressure and smoothly enter their base."
Cheng Shuwei quickly explained the truth, there was no choice. At that time, there were many clan sects, complex ones, Hawkeye didn’t plan to appear in front of some small family clans, no need, plus it risked exposing too much information, primarily because small families and sects didn’t peak their interest.
Actually, cooperating with the General Staff Ninth Department wasn’t the first time; it’s always been coordinated like this.
"Commander Luo didn’t know it was us from Hawkeye acting secretly, only knowing the Military Department sent people for secret aid, so Doctor Bei, please don’t settle scores with Commander Luo tonight!" Cheng Shuwei said earnestly.
He didn’t want his explanation to trigger a quarrel between that couple, worrying most about Commander Luo settling scores with him!
Beisitian laughed out loud hearing this, thinking that Cheng Shuwei was quite a funny guy, concerned about whether couples would argue at this time.
Beisitian was quite satisfied with the explanation, actually, back then Zhou Biwu hinted that someone would act secretly, just didn’t know specifics. Luo Xudong said something as well but didn’t elaborate since he didn’t know either, so the Military Department was fairly sincere.
With everyone gathered, the next day Beisitian and others left Beijing, heading to Ningjin County. They set off two days later than Shi Guang, wondering if Shi Guang had any progress there.
Desan and Qi Xindao went along, additionally accompanied by Wei Zhongxun and Cheng Shuwei. Wei Zhongxun finally won against Tian Zhi once, getting this chance to go out.
With the highway opened, they reached Ningjin in less than five hours. Upon arrival, they found they couldn’t contact Shi Guang.
If it was just for a moment, fine, but even by evening, Beisitian still hadn’t reached him!
The last contact with Shi Guang was last night, did something happen overnight?
