When Jiang Ningyan saw the person in front of her clearly, she was slightly stunned.
"Brother Shen."
Shen Mo smiled and looked at the seat opposite her, "Can I sit here?"
Jiang Ningyan nodded. Seeing that he was dressed very formally in a shirt and tie, she asked curiously, "Are you here for a blind date?"
Shen Mo pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, "My family is pressing for me to come and take a look."
Last time, the day after he gave her the gift, he was looking forward to watching a movie together.
Unexpectedly, he received a call from Jiang Ningyan, who not only declined his invitation, but also directly asked Xueying to return the necklace to him.
This rejection was straightforward and clear, showing that she didn't want to have anything to do with him.
Seeing this, his family members started urging him to go on blind dates and get married.
"Ningyan, is this also why you came here?"
Jiang Ningyan shook her head, "I came here with a colleague."
Seeing that she didn't want to say more and looked like she was worried, Shen Mo carefully considered his words and asked in a gentle voice.
"If you have any troubles, you can tell me. I have plenty of time now."
Jiang Ningyan hesitated for a moment, remembering that he and Lu Bingchuan had been friends for many years and were familiar with each other's personalities, so he tentatively asked:
"A man who really hates you suddenly changes his attitude for no apparent reason and says strange things. Although he generally ignores you, he always does things for your own good. Why is that?"
Afraid that Shen Mo would make associations, she quickly added, "This problem only happened to a female friend of mine. You don't need to overthink it."
Shen Mo pushed his glasses up, his smile a little lighter. "Perhaps this man discovered your friend's strengths, felt that he had wronged her, and wanted to make amends."
Jiang Ningyan shook her head decisively, "That's not the case. My friend... is indeed not very likable."
Shen Mo's eyes were deep. "Then what do your friends think of that gay man?"
Jiang Ningyan's eyes were filled with confusion. "She herself hasn't figured it out either. She just feels that she shouldn't have developed feelings for that person..."
Shen Mo breathed a sigh of relief, "If that's the case, I suggest your friend be cautious. After all, you can't judge a person by their appearance. Just because their behavior has changed doesn't mean they've truly changed their minds."
Jiang Ningyan looked thoughtful, "Thank you, Brother Shen. I'll tell my friends."
As she spoke, she suddenly felt a chill on her back.
Turning around, I only saw a noisy crowd.
It must be an illusion.
Jiang Ningyan withdrew her gaze, only to find another person in front of her.
The man was tall and had long legs, sharp eyes, and a cynical smile on his lips.
It was the man she mistook for someone in Lu Bingchuan's office that morning.
At this moment, this person grabbed Shen Mo's hand and said enthusiastically, "Hey, isn't this Shen Gong? It's been so long since we last met. Come on, let's go and catch up."
As she said this, she almost half-forcefully pulled him up from his seat.
Shen Mo gave him a puzzled look, but still introduced him, "Ningyan, this is Zhou Linzheng, my friend."
Jiang Ningyan felt a little guilty.
Zhou Linzheng looked so ugly, she was probably going to tell Shen Mo about her stupid behavior that morning.
She didn't want to hear any more, so she quickly said goodbye.
After taking a few glances around the venue, He Chunmiao, who had come with her, was still nowhere to be seen. Jiang Ningyan had no choice but to go back to the office.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Mo was pulled aside by Zhou Linzheng.
Shen Mo raised his eyes and greeted him without any surprise, "Brother Chuan."
In other words, he had already seen Lu Bingchuan.
Lu Bingchuan hummed expressionlessly, "Did you enjoy the chat?"
Shen Mo smiled slightly, "I have never liked this kind of social activities. Fortunately, I met Comrade Jiang this time and we had a good chat."
"You two are not suitable." Lu Bingchuan's eyes were sharp and his face was as cold as Yama.
"Auntie Su said that the lesbian you recently went on a blind date with is very good. You should think about it carefully."
Shen Mo could hear the sting in his words, but he didn't give in. "Only you know whether it's suitable or not. I admit that I have a good impression of Comrade Jiang and hope to have further contact with her."
Lu Bingchuan's handsome face suddenly darkened, "Impossible."
"Stop, stop." Zhou Linzheng stood between the two of them with a headache, and laughed.
"Let's not talk about this for now. The three of us haven't gotten together in a long time. Why don't we find a place to have a good chat?"
Lu Bingchuan looked at Shen Mo coldly, as if giving him a warning. "No, I have something else to do."
"I have something to ask you." Shen Mo caught up with him and said hesitantly, "The blueprint from the research institute was found. I heard that a female comrade provided the clue."
"Can you tell me the information of this woman? After all, that blueprint is the result of eight years of hard work by my teacher and me. We want to find her and thank her in person."
When the blueprints were stolen, all his years of hard work went to waste, and he had almost given up hope.
Unexpectedly, good news came. Lu Bingchuan led his men to the neighboring province and caught the two criminals at the last moment. The drawings were not leaked.
While he and his teacher were feeling relieved, they inquired about the identity of the person who provided the clue, but they only vaguely learned that this female comrade had also come to Beijing, and they knew nothing else.
Lu Bingchuan paused and said coldly, "No comment."
Information related to the mission cannot be disclosed casually.
What's more, he couldn't tell whether he had selfish motives at work.
Shen Mo moved his lips and wanted to say something else.
Zhou Linzheng grabbed him and winked, "Shen Mo, can't you see that he's interested in Jiang Ningyan? Don't get involved in their affairs."
Shen Mo frowned. "It's Comrade Jiang's freedom to be with whomever he wants. I just want to try my best to fight for him. Besides, I don't think Comrade Jiang has any other intentions towards him."
Although the voice was not loud, every word of this sentence was heard by someone.
Lu Bingchuan strode into the car and drove quickly towards home.
Along the way, he had a sullen face, the veins on his arms gripping the steering wheel bulged, and his chest seemed to be slowly burning with a flame.
He had known for a long time that the military district was going to hold a social gathering.
If it weren't for the emergency meeting and the need to notify the political commissar to go back, he would never have expected to meet Jiang Ningyan here.
The other person was sitting opposite another man with a smile on her face, and they were having a pleasant conversation.
"Bingchuan, why are you back so early?"
Gao Qiaolan was on vacation today and was sitting in the living room drinking tea. She was a little surprised to see her son come in with a sullen face.
Lu Bingchuan glanced around the room, but didn't see the person he wanted to see, so his eyes darkened.
Gao Qiaolan guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile, "Ningyan is in the kitchen. She is in a good mood today and said she wants to cook a few dishes herself."
In a good mood?
Hearing this, someone felt even more upset.
