The person who walked in was the middle-aged man with glasses who had been with the No. 2 leader yesterday. Lin Yizhen knew that this man was the No. 2 leader's secretary.
I guess the second-in-command is free, so he asked the secretary to come and call them.
As expected, just as Lin Yizhen thought, the secretary of the second-in-command came in and said to Xiao Defeng, "Commander Xiao, the commander invites you over."
Hearing the words of the visitor, Xiao Defeng and Lin Yi quickly straightened their collars, dusted themselves off, and followed the No. 2 leader's secretary out.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a large room.
Lin Yizhen looked at the furnishings inside and found that it didn't look like an office, but more like a training room.
But there was another desk at the innermost part, and the No. 2 leader who I met yesterday was sitting behind the desk looking at documents.
After the secretary brought the two in, he said to them, "The chief is waiting there, just go over there!"
This was not the first time Xiao Defeng came to Zhonghai to meet the second-in-command. After hearing the secretary's words, he thanked her and took Lin Yizhen with him directly.
Perhaps he heard their voices, and before the two of them even reached the leader, the second leader looked up, pointed to the stool in front of the desk, and said to them, "Now that you're here, sit down."
"Thank you, Chief!" the two responded in unison.
Unlike Xiao Defeng's relaxed demeanor in front of the second-in-command, Lin Yizhen sat down, taking up less than half of the stool. She sat bolt upright, her smile stiff.
The second-in-command sitting opposite her saw Lin Yizhen's nervous look.
He smiled gently and said to her, "Don't be nervous, young comrade. Just treat me as an ordinary old man."
Lin Yizhen smiled but said nothing. She was just an ordinary educated youth now, so she didn't dare to take the words of this big man seriously.
Seeing that his comfort didn't work, the second boss didn't dwell on the issue anymore.
Instead, he asked Xiao Defeng, "How's the investigation of spies in Anhua County going? Are there any that slipped through the net?"
“All known spies have been apprehended, and those found guilty of interrogation are also being apprehended.
"However, there are still a few stubborn ones holding on. The people below are looking for a way out, and I think it won't be long before they can pry their mouths open." Xiao Defeng replied.
"Yes! We must not let these spies escape, otherwise it would be unfair to so many comrades who died." The second-in-command nodded and said.
After a pause, the second-in-command continued, "As for those comrades who have returned safely, their leaders should also pay more attention to them.
Just because they came back alive, we can’t ignore their hard work.”
"Don't worry, Chief, I will definitely make arrangements." Xiao Defeng stood up and saluted and replied.
Xiao Defeng stood up, and Lin Yizhen followed suit.
The second commander nodded and asked them to sit down, then said to Lin Yizhen, "This time, it's all thanks to Comrade Lin Xiao, otherwise we wouldn't know how many good comrades died at the hands of the enemy.
I invited you here this time because, firstly, I wanted to reward you; secondly, I wanted to see Comrade Lin Xiao's superb martial arts.
Although Comrade Lin showed us his skills yesterday, I feel that he still has a lot of room to improve.
So, I'll call you over today to demonstrate it again. You don't mind, do you? "
Speaking of this, the second-in-command felt a little embarrassed.
Just because he was curious about whether Comrade Lin Xiao really had the legendary martial arts skills of flying over eaves and walls, he specially called Comrade Ren Xiao over, which seemed a bit unkind.
In fact, no one knows.
When he was young, the second-in-command also fantasized about having extraordinary military power to save the broken country.
But later, for various reasons, he gave up the use of force to save the country.
Now, when he suddenly heard that a young comrade had single-handedly rescued a captured soldier from the hands of a dozen heavily armed spies, how could he not be surprised?
In other words, he was busy with official duties and could not leave Beijing easily because of his status.
Otherwise, he would definitely make the trip in person to meet this extraordinary little hero.
Of course, the second-in-command was just thinking about this in his mind.
Now that they have seen Lin Yizhen and witnessed the strength she displayed yesterday, they know that this Xiao Tong must have other abilities that they have not seen.
That's why he called him over again today.
It only takes a moment to think about this.
Lin Yizhen, who was sitting opposite, heard the second-in-command's question and quickly stood up and replied, "Of course I don't mind."
"I'm glad you don't mind, young comrade. Do you want to demonstrate it to me directly? Or do you want someone to come and spar with you? Our bodyguards in Zhonghai are all very powerful. They will definitely give you a good fight."
The second-in-command also had a general understanding of the habits of these masters. When they had practiced to a certain level, they liked to compete with others.
Yesterday, this young comrade knocked those male soldiers away in one go, and although she showed off her skills later, he was sure that this young comrade did not enjoy it to the fullest.
So, today he prepared several masters to serve as sparring partners for the young comrade.
Two of these people had studied martial arts for over a decade on Wudang Mountain. Not only were they highly skilled, but they were also steady and would definitely not harm this young comrade.
When Lin Yizhen heard the words of the second-in-command, her eyes lit up.
After all this time in this world, she had never fought against anyone here. She also didn't know their true strength. Was it really as the original owner said: all show and no substance?
Now that there is an opportunity to test it, Lin Yizhen naturally will not let it go.
So, he quickly nodded and said, "I want to practice sparring. I want to know how well I am doing with my martial arts."
"Okay, I'll let you in right away." The second-in-command responded happily.
As he spoke, the second-in-command picked up the phone on the table and started dialing.
Not long after she hung up the phone, Lin Yizhen heard the sound of the door opening, and then she saw a neat row of people in black walking out.
After these people came in, they closed the door.
Then, they lined up neatly and stood against the wall.
When the second commander saw someone coming in, he brought Lin Yizhen to them and said, "This is Comrade Lin Yizhen, she is also a martial arts master.
He once single-handedly saved three of our comrades from the hands of fully armed enemy troops.
Today, I invited her over to discuss this with you.
Don't worry, you must let go of your hands and feet, otherwise you will be beaten to the point of being unable to get up by the little comrades, which will be very embarrassing."
When the Zhonghai bodyguards standing in a row heard the words of the second-in-command, one of them immediately stepped forward and replied, "Please rest assured, Commander. We will do our best."
"Okay, then you can discuss the format of the duel with Comrade Lin Xiao!"
As he spoke, the second-in-command called Lin Yizhen out and introduced her to the bodyguard captain who was speaking.
After both sides introduced themselves to each other, they began to discuss the details of the competition.
The bodyguard captain wanted to adopt a rotation tactic, but Lin Yizhen wanted speed.
She wanted them to come together, not because she was arrogant, but because she was sure of herself that she asked for it.
