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

Chapter 347

But the cousin hadn't finished speaking yet. While chewing betel nut, he sighed:

"Brother Air, to be honest, when the Ukrainian Chief of Staff sent me to assist you in completing this task, I was actually not very willing. Because I have checked your information and learned that you are from the local branch and have only joined the National Security Bureau for about half a year. I have been working in this field for seven or eight years and can be said to be an experienced veteran. So, at first I couldn't understand why I was asked to assist a newcomer."

"But now, I finally understand the reason. Brother Air, although you are a novice in the workplace, the talent and ability you have shown in case investigation are by no means comparable to ordinary people. Even those well-trained and experienced veterans can hardly compare with you."

"If you ask me, People like you are born to work in the national security industry! Although Jiang Yu betrayed, we have to admit that he is very good at judging people. If he hadn't brought you into the national security system, our national security system would have lost a rare talent! However, Jiang Yu would never have thought that you could improve so quickly and become the biggest stumbling block on his way to escape! Hahahaha..."

Hearing his cousin suddenly talking about Jiang Yu, Zhang Xing's face suddenly became a little gloomy. It was as if a door was opened in his mind. The memories of Jiang Yu since he met him flooded into his mind, from their first meeting, the various events they experienced together, and the unspeakable complex emotions...

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became dull, as if shrouded by a layer of light sadness. Time seemed to stop at this moment, and only the sound of the engine echoed in the quiet night sky. After a long while, the cousin coughed lightly, trying to break the solemn atmosphere.

"Brother Air, I want to know what you think about whether Jiang Yu will go to the Southwest Branch this time?"

The cousin asked cautiously, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

Zhang Xing frowned slightly, staring through the car window at the endless darkness outside the window. His thoughts drifted away at this moment, as if he had traveled through time and space back to the past.

After a long time, he nodded slowly, his voice low and firm: "From the clues we have now and Jiang Yu's usual style of doing things, it is very likely that he will go to the Southwest Branch."

The cousin nodded slightly, and a solemn expression appeared on his resolute face.

"If we meet Jiang Yu again this time, we must not let him escape no matter what. The things he is involved in are too threatening to national security. We must bring him to justice and never allow any omissions."

The cousin paused for a moment, seemed a little hesitant, but finally continued: "If there is an encounter with Jiang Yu in the Southwest Branch, when you face each other, can you draw your gun to deal with it in the first time? After all, he is the one who brought you into the national security system. You are both a master and a disciple, and a close friend."

Zhang Xing took a deep breath, and then slowly replied: "Cousin, I understand the contradiction in my heart. Jiang Yu does have a special meaning to me. He is not only my predecessor, but also a good friend who I regard as a confidant. The kindness he once gave me, I always remember it in my heart and never forget it."

His voice trembled slightly, revealing the painful struggle deep in his heart in the dark night.

"However, I know my identity and responsibilities better than anyone else. When national security conflicts with personal feelings, I must make the right choice without hesitation, even if this decision puts me in a dilemma."

Zhang Xing's eyes gradually became firm, as if he had found the direction in the darkness. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner waves. The eldest cousin looked at him silently without speaking. The lights in the car were dim, and only the outlines of each other could be vaguely seen. Silence filled the air, and time seemed to freeze for a moment.

After a while, the eldest cousin whispered: "Brother Air, I understand your difficulties, but I believe you can make the right decision. No matter when and where, we must stick to our beliefs and responsibilities."

Zhang Xing nodded, indicating that he understood what the eldest cousin meant. He knew that he had a great mission and must not be shaken by personal emotions. However, facing the upcoming choice, his heart was still full of contradictions and struggles.

Zhang Xing looked at the dark world outside the car window, and a few faint lights in the distance flickered in the night, as if they were the fire of hope. He murmured to himself: "I have been thinking, ifI wish there was a way to make him come back. After all, we have been through so many things together... But the current situation does not seem to allow too many fantasies. I can't let him endanger the country just because of our friendship. "

The eldest cousin patted Zhang Xing's shoulder gently and comforted him: "You have tried your best, don't blame yourself. Everyone has their own choices. We can't change other people's ideas, but we can control our own actions. "

Zhang Xing sighed and said with a heavy heart: "Yes, I can't have a fluke mentality anymore. I must face the reality and prepare for the worst. "

He turned his head to look at his eldest cousin, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "If it really comes to that moment, I will put the mission first. I will try my best to overcome the contradictions in my heart and do my best to complete the task. This is not only loyalty to the country, but also adherence to the oath we once made. "

The cousin nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and then he didn't say anything. Although the two had known each other for a short time, the cousin had already had a certain degree of understanding of Zhang Xing along the way, and he knew very well what kind of person Zhang Xing was as a member of the National Security Team.

So, before they were about to enter the Southwest Branch, the cousin tentatively asked about what happened after the encounter with Jiang Yu, in fact, just to remind Zhang Xing.

About twenty minutes later, the sound of the car engine sounded at the edge of the mountain forest road shrouded in the night.

The cousin's eyes shifted from the road ahead to Zhang Xing, and then whispered: "Brother Air, has the analog signal been completely stable?"

The dashboard in the car emitted a faint light, reflecting on Zhang Xing's face who was concentrating on checking the equipment. Zhang Xing raised his head and nodded to the cousin, indicating that he could enter the mountain forest road.

So, the cousin turned the steering wheel, and the car slowly drove into the mountain forest road.
