Bai Yan looked at the person who came in from the door and was slightly startled.

It’s An Qi.

She felt that it should be so, but she also wondered why it happened to her.

When An Qi saw her in the ward, a flash of surprise flashed across her eyes for a second, "Comrade Bai Yan?"

Bai Yan made way for him, "Comrade An Qi, hello, what a coincidence." She wanted to ask a question, so she asked first, "Comrade An Qi, are you here to visit Mr. Tan? I didn't know you were familiar with Mr. Tan."

"I am..." An Qi was holding flowers in her hands, obviously a visitor to visit the patient.

Since I couldn't find an excuse, I could only admit it openly, "I met Mr. Tan last time at the General Hospital. After chatting for a while, we happened to find out that we were in the same English Corner Club, so we became a little familiar with each other."

In the 1980s, due to the reform and opening up, various English corners became popular.

In order to understand and operate the medical equipment purchased from Country D, An Qi enrolled in an English class and participated in various English corner activities in her spare time.

...

...

"I haven't seen Mr. Tan these few days, so I went to ask around and found out that you were in the hospital."

An Qi placed the bouquet of flowers for the visit next to the fruits that Bai Yan brought. The fragrance of the flowers filled the air, covering up the smell of the fruits.

Three of us, you look at me and I look at you.

Bai Yan could actually understand the meaning in An Qi's eyes. Coupled with her memories from the book, she always felt that it was not a good thing for An Qi to start contacting Tan Hean.

She pretended to know nothing about what was going on and stayed in the ward with a forced smile.

"Comrade Bai Yan, how did you know that Mr. Tan was injured?" Because Bai Yan was there, An Qi only greeted him and sat down. She didn't look at Tan He'an too enthusiastically. Instead, she kept the topic focused on Bai Yan. "I remember that Hechuan couldn't enter and leave the team freely. How could Comrade Bai Yan come to visit him at this time?"

Bai Yan omitted the fact that Tan He'an was injured while playing basketball for her sake, and explained the whole story, saying that she came to visit and take care of Tan He'an on behalf of the aerospace team.

After hearing this, An Qi didn't know what to think.

Tan Hean, who was sitting on the bed, moved, as if he wanted to drink some hot water.

But Bai Yan didn't see the point and still stood at the end of the bed without moving.

An Qi looked at her thoughtfully, then stood up and poured Tan Hean a glass of water.

She shook the thermos in her hand, "Comrade Bai Yan, how long have you been here? Do you know where the water room is? There is no hot water here."

Bai Yan found it difficult to refuse such an excuse, so she reached out to take it, opened the door and went to the bathroom to get some water.

The door of the ward was closed again. An Qi stood up and walked closer to the bed. She flipped through the words on the infusion bottle and read, "Glucose, Mr. Tan is worth millions. Why not eat bird's nest or shark's fin? Come to the hospital for an injection."

Tan Hean raised his arm, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were bulging due to the infusion.

He had a smile on his face, but it didn't reach his eyes. "Come to the hospital occasionally to get oxygen and hang a bottle, maybe it will make your mind clearer."

He used his bandaged right hand to push away An Qi who was blocking him. He didn't look injured at all. "Didn't we agree not to meet in public?"

An Qi's eyes moved to his hanging right hand, and she suddenly smiled, "Mr. Tan, sometimes I wonder, is Bai Yan's English really that good, so good that it makes you afraid? Do you think that with her help, the aerospace team can speed up the research of foreign materials?"

These days, An Qi studies English hard.

In her opinion, this kind of liberal arts subject is not a difficult skill to master as long as you memorize grammar and vocabulary carefully.

He was just an ordinary translator. Like those people they had dealt with in the past, they could use either benefits or threats to force them to give up serving the team.

"And didn't you also say that a lot of the information is incomplete, with English, Russian, and even Japanese interspersed? The brigade didn't lack translators before, and when they were doing the translation work, they couldn't complete it 100%. Tan Hean, what are you afraid of? Why are you so anxious to take action and take Bai Yan out of the brigade?"

Veins popped out on Tan Hean's forehead. After he stood up, he stared at An Qi, "An Qi, have you been away from me for too long? Have you forgotten how to talk to me?"

An Qi swallowed.

Under the pressure, she lowered her head again, "...Mr. Tan, I was wrong."

Tan Hean's right hand wrapped in gauze pinched her shoulder heavily, causing An Qi to frown in pain.

But she didn't dare speak out.

I can only bear it silently.

"It's good that you know you're wrong. There are not many people who can get close to Meng Hechuan now. You can't be transferred for the time being."

He loosened his hand.

"How's the plan going?"

An Qi looked ashamed and she finished her words. "Mrs. Meng really likes and trusts me. She has indeed been promoting the relationship between Meng Hechuan and me. It's a pity that...Meng Hechuan's reaction has always been lukewarm. He has used various excuses to stay in the team. He didn't show up for the several meetings arranged by Mrs. Meng."

"You've fallen behind." Tan Hean hit the nail on the head. "Not to mention the past, even now, it's even more impossible for Meng Hechuan to focus on you. For him, there's no need for him to meet you alone because of his mother."

Tan Hean sat back on the bed and looked at the liquid flowing in the drip tube. "Since you don't have a close relationship with him, you probably don't have the chance to go to his office to check on the situation, right?"

An Qi didn't dare to speak, and nodded, "But I have the opportunity to come and go freely in the Meng family. I once passed by Meng Hechuan's study in the Meng family, but I didn't have enough time at that time, so I didn't have the opportunity to look through it."

"The Meng family is useless." Tan Hean became angry and pulled out the needle. An Qi quickly stepped forward to stop the bleeding with gauze.

Tan Hean's hand naturally stroked the back of An Qi's head. Her soft long hair entangled around his fingertips, but An Qi was trembling slightly.

"A conservative person like Meng Hechuan would not take the organization's information out of the brigade. All confidential information must be kept in the brigade and in his data room. If you can't get close to him and his office in the brigade, it will be difficult to make a breakthrough."

"Mr. Tan, please give me some more time..."

An Qi felt a pain on the top of her head and screamed in surprise. It turned out that a strand of her hair had been pulled out.

"If I hadn't planned to give you time, would you still be standing here now?" He spoke in a cold tone, "An Qi, my father raised you, sent you to further education, changed your identity, and made you a talent. You must know how to repay him."

"Your mission is to remember to continue to get closer to Meng Hechuan."

"But now - Bai Yan..." An Qi hesitated, stealing glances at Tan Hean's eyes, and for a moment she couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

What exactly does he think of Bai Yan?

Exploitation, or ulterior motives?

I have known him for more than ten years, but I have never seen the word "dear" reflected in this sinister and treacherous man.

It seems that there is only career in his world, and emotions are neither a relief nor a catalyst for his life.

He is cold and heartless, and only wants to serve the Malaysian government.

But he seemed to have developed a different attitude towards Bai Yan.
