Chapter 209 Old Love
——The next day——
"...Who are you looking for?" Aaron heard someone knocking on the door early in the morning. Aaron was woken up and saw a mature woman with still charm standing at the door on the monitor.
"Excuse me, does Mr. Ling work here?" The woman smiled towards the camera, although the camera next to the door was very hidden and could not be found by ordinary people.
"Please come in." Aaron thought for a moment and opened the door, then went to Ling Chong's room and knocked on the door, "Uncle Ling, someone wants to see you."
"Damn it, you overslept!" Aaron could only hear a mess of noises in the room, and Ling Chong's almost whining cry.
Aaron glanced awkwardly towards the living room, and happened to meet the woman's smiling eyes. The other woman didn't seem to care at all, as if she was enjoying the chaos.
"Did you let her in?" At this moment, Ling Chong suddenly opened the door and came out. Although he was caught off guard, it could still be seen that he tried his best to dress up clean and dignified, and seemed to attach great importance to today's visitors.
"He's in the living room." Aaron couldn't help but wonder what the relationship between this woman and Ling Chong was.
"Just stay here and don't mess with me to avoid bad things." Ling Chong warned in a serious tone and walked straight towards the living room.
"Isn't this ridiculous?" Ling Chong said that, but Aaron was not the kind of good boy to do whatever he was told. He turned around and changed the angle that could not be seen from the living room, squatting in the corridor and thinking
Listen to what's going on in the living room.
"You're still the same." The woman's laughter was filled with nostalgia.
"It's not a good thing to make you laugh." Ling Chong's voice was dry due to nervousness, "Jasmine tea?"
"You actually remember." The woman's voice was filled with a smile.
"How could I forget?" Ling Chong sighed with emotion, and followed the sound of boiling water and making tea as he walked towards the kitchen. Then he returned to the living room with two teacups, "If you hadn't refused to agree back then,
Now everyone still doesn’t know what the situation is.”
"It's my fault for saying that." the woman asked half-jokingly.
"How could it be? You and I have to be willing to do this. There's no point in shaving your head and choosing one end." Ling Chong took a sip of tea and smiled bitterly, "Besides, I didn't wait for you to change your mind anymore. Now it's my wife and children who are in love."
I'm on the wrong side of the bed, how can I blame you?"
"You live in an office that looks like a safe house, and you came here to contact me. It's a bit far away from the hot bed with your wife and children that you told me about." The woman was still casual, but the content of her words was hard to ignore.
"I came to see you just to get out of the current situation." Ling Chong didn't hide anything and answered directly.
"Can I ask who you offended? You also know that I am not omnipotent. Some people can be offended and some people cannot be offended. If not, you will only make yourself embarrassed." The woman did not sound surprised, her attitude was
Very candid.
"I don't know." You could hear Ling Chong's embarrassment, and Aaron even imagined Ling Chong's current expression in his mind.
"This is troublesome." The woman sighed, "You can't even find out who the other party is. What if it's someone from my side?"
"It would be great if it were true. My family won't beat my own family." Ling Chong sounded like he was joking.
"Who is with your family?" The woman smiled angrily, "But to be honest, there are only a few organizations that even you can't find the beginning and end of. No matter whose palm you fall into now, you will be in trouble in the future.
It won’t be easy.”
"Is it really hopeless?" Ling Chong asked in frustration.
"I can only try." The woman gave him a glimmer of hope at the right place, "You help me do something first, so that you are temporarily offline on my side. I want to see who it is.
People who will come to me first to protest that I touched them."
"Okay, what do you want me to do specifically?" Ling Chong agreed without hesitation.
"You and the young man who opened the door for me just now, were you both in District 9 when the riot broke out, right?" The woman's next words made Aaron, who was eavesdropping, feel his heart sink. He had never known the existence of this woman.
But he seems to know them quite well.
"Yes, as expected, this matter cannot escape your eyes." Ling Chong did not show any surprise.
"It's true that we were tricked into messing up things, but we're not so incompetent that we completely lost control of the scene." The woman's self-deprecating tone revealed her small pride, "I want you to go into District 9 again.
, help me investigate a few suspicious characters."
"Do you know what the other party wants to do?" Ling Chong asked.
"Terrorist attack, targeting prosthetic transplant recipients, other details are unclear." The woman answered.
"Why is it your turn to take charge? Isn't this a business of the Ministry of Emergency Situations?" Ling Chong said strangely.
"Emergency Situation Department?" There was a wave of hostility in the woman's gentle voice for the first time, "If those guys who are not successful enough and are prone to failure can really handle the things they have taken charge of, the situation will not deteriorate into
Now it's at this point! If the boss blows his bullshit, won't it be us, the hard-working people who are smeared and arranged by them every day, who will clean up the mess in the end? Who is sending people to blockade the area around District 9 now, and who is maintaining that ghost place that has been reduced to ruins?
Someone from the Ministry of Emergency Situations?”
"Calm down, I know you've been having a hard time recently, so I just asked casually." Only then did Ling Chong realize that he seemed to have pressed a strange switch, and he quickly changed the subject.
"...I lost my composure." The woman reached out and wiped her face to return to her gentle state. "Anyway, you know that we are responsible for the security situation inside District 9 now. Those guys inside don't care.
Both those who survived and those who were inserted later regard us as enemies. It is really difficult to investigate. Since you have connections in the 9th District, it may be more appropriate to hand this case to you."
"If I succeed, I will definitely be able to get a status as a downline with you, right?" Although the two of them sound like close friends, friendship is just business or business.
"Of course, you were the one who cheated me before. When did I cheat you?" the woman replied confidently.
"Hey, let's not bring up the past, let's not bring it up." Ling Chong blushed rarely, "Originally I was begging you, and I should do something for you first to show my sincerity, but this time it involves
I'm not the only one I have to be careful with."
"I understand." The woman nodded, "Looking at how old you are, you still look the same as before. I really don't know whether I should praise you or hurt you."
"Man, you can see how old you are at the age of three." Ling Chong showed a slightly rogue smile, "But you are still the same as before, which surprises me even more. To be honest, I basically didn't have much hope when I came to see you."
"Oh, how do you know I'm still the same person?" The woman responded with a mysterious smile, "Maybe you just happened to meet my needs."
"Then I'm considered dead under the peony flower." Ling Manman smiled nonchalantly, "I'll take care of things for you, and I won't blame you no matter how things develop in the future."
"You..." the woman sighed and stood up, "If you are lucky enough to escape this time, just stay at home and take good care of your sister-in-law and niece, and don't go out and wander around again when you are old."
"Ah, I also felt it this time. It's true that I can't wave anymore." Ling Chong showed a bitter smile, "I'll take you out."
"No, there's a car waiting outside." The woman cleverly avoided Ling Chong's approach, "I'll send you the information later. You can follow behind and listen to the young man's discussion, and tell the girl in the room.
