Jiang Lian used his authority to look through the list within the system, but could not find this person named Li Xiao.
He immediately understood what the problem was and that his authority was not sufficient.
Without stopping, he went to the archives room and lied sincerely to the administrator.
"Director Zhang asked me to retrieve the personnel files. The approval documents will arrive shortly."
The administrator felt at ease with him. Jiang Lian's reliability and reliability were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one would suspect that he would be up to no good.
"It turns out to be Captain Jiang. It's okay. Everyone can rest assured when you do things."
"I've heard all about it. Is it because of that Qiao Ying incident? If something like this happened, everyone in the city bureau must rectify it."
Jiang Lian borrowed the donkey from the slope and said, "That's natural."
The administrator took him to the personnel records office and said, "Captain Jiang, do it yourself."
Jiang Lian smiled and nodded his thanks. His eyes wandered among the rows of file boxes and noticed the unnamed files in the top row.
He took out a few and looked through them quickly, catching the pattern of these people.
These nameless people are all undercover agents sent to the enemy. They are arranged in order of time and occupy a row of shelves.
That list should be from the same group as Qiao Ying, which means that Qiao Ying's working years are also the time when Li Xiao joined the team.
He skipped the middle section according to the time, counting the numbers and moving forward.
Stopped in front of a row of older file boxes.
He looked through several copies in succession, but none of them were what he was looking for.
He took down the entire file box, rearranged it, and saw a separate file behind the original file box. The dust on it had been wiped, and it had obviously been tampered with not long ago.
He reached out and took it out, opened it and looked at it.
A photo of a man in uniform, with a stern face, strong bones, and an inverted eyebrow with eyes that look like he is facing a formidable enemy. He looks very untouchable.
There is a name written in Song script under the photo.
Li Xiao
He looked through all his life carefully.
[In xxxx, he went overseas to perform a latent mission to collect evidence of Black Shark crimes...]
He scanned it every word, until the last sentence.
[It has been confirmed that he died on Xingzhou Island, and no body remains.]
Only those who have sacrificed will have a life.
Jiang Lian read it once and had mixed feelings out of respect for his senior. What would Qin Man do if she knew this was the result?
The hostile elements who have always helped her have never been enemies.
It's not by chance that they have a common language, it's because they are fellow travelers.
How can she accept that we are on the same path but different destinations?
Qin Man still didn't know that she was only thinking about making up for her fault of being a loner, and wanted to coax Jiang Lian to avoid losing his wife and losing his army.
She poked her head in and then closed and locked the door.
He said mysteriously, "Captain Jiang~"
The file was placed neatly on Jiang Lian's desk, and he was sitting in his chair, lost in thought.
"Um?"
Qin Man conjured up a small gift box with a bow from behind and handed it to him.
"Hey, it's for you."
Jiang Lian reached out and took it, feeling strange, "Given it to me?"
Qin Man pinched the necklace around his neck.
"I like the gift you gave me very much."
They all knew what it was, Jiang Lian didn't say it explicitly, and Qin Man didn't say it either, so they kept wearing it by default.
"So I think I should give you something, but I don't know what gift I should give to my boyfriend, so I let Lai Mingjie and the others choose it for me."
She herself was very curious, "Hey, open it and see, what is it?"
Jiang Lian had a bad feeling in his heart. Lai Mingjie and the others would definitely not be able to do anything good.
"Haven't you seen it?"
Qin Man: "No, it was already packaged when they gave it to me. I thought about this bow. If I take it apart, I won't be able to put it back."
Jiang Lian felt that there was a grenade inside, but Qin Man's curiosity got the best of him. He slowly unwrapped the ribbon and opened the lid. Then Qin Man's expression suddenly went numb.
There are colorful sets inside.
She immediately reached out to grab the gift box and gritted her teeth.
"I'm going to settle the score with them. If I don't beat up all their lunches today, I swear I won't be a human being."
Jiang Lian brushed her hand away, "How can there be any reason to take it back after sending it away?"
He put the gift box in without blushing or jumping.
"I accepted the gift and I like it very much."
Qin Man cursed secretly, "Grass..."
When she goes back, she will definitely beat those grandsons to pieces.
She wanted to escape quickly, but Jiang Lian suddenly stopped her.
"Qin Man."
"As for searching for Li Xiao's whereabouts, have you still not given up?"
Qin Man turned around and said, "Did you find it?"
Jiang Lian answered ambiguously, "I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
Qin Man came back immediately, "Have you found any news about him? Is he still alive?"
Jiang Lian shook his head, "Qin Man, what if the result is more unacceptable than if he died?"
Qin Man felt unreasonable.
"What's more difficult to accept than someone dying?"
She nodded slightly.
"Actually, I know that there is a high probability that he will not survive. However, whether he is dead or alive, there must be an ending."
Either life or death, she was ready to accept any news.
Jiang Lian gently pushed the file over.
"Then see for yourself."
Qin Man felt that the file was familiar as soon as she saw it. She had seen the same one in the archives last time. The contents were all the heroic deeds of her predecessors who had gone through fire and water.
She seemed to understand what Jiang Lian meant by a result that was more unacceptable than death.
She opened the file bag and revealed the ID photo and name inside.
She was stunned. Except for the clothes, the person in the photo was different from the person in her memory. Their eyes and demeanor were completely different.
The appearance in the photo is younger, but all the facial features and face shape match.
She flipped through the biography at the back, and each key word was like a thunderclap on the ground, making her unable to move.
Latent mission, black shark, Xingzhou Island, sacrifice...
Until the end, no bones were left.
"Is he the one you're looking for?"
Qin Man slowly put down his hand, without much emotion, but with dead eyes, staring at the photo without blinking.
"yes."
Jiang Lian took the file from her hand and stored it, walked around to her, and held her shoulders.
"How are you?"
Qin Man didn't answer, Jiang Lian pushed her into his arms and let her lean on his shoulder.
"Cry if you want to."
Qin Man was just stunned, as if her face was paralyzed. Not only were there no tears in her eyes, but she was also lifeless. She gently pushed Jiang Lian away, raised her head and even laughed.
"I'm fine."
Her smile was so real and natural that even Jiang Lian couldn't tell the difference.
When most people encounter such a blow, they can effectively resolve it by venting hysterically, but Qin Man is different. Her years of disguise have made her form an extremely tough shell that cannot be easily penetrated.
While isolating the outside world, it also traps oneself.
Such a reaction made Jiang Lian feel heartbroken.
Qin Man saw Jiang Lian frowning in worry, but she could still comfort him.
"Don't be like this. I'm really fine. I'll just go out and smoke a couple of cigarettes."
Her steps were steady and fast, and her hand when taking out the cigarette did not shake.
It's just that her heart swelled like a bomb, making her so depressed that she couldn't speak. This chapter has been completed!
