Chapter 19 Added
The sun was shining brightly. The light beams poured into the office through the large glass panels without restraint, and the warmth rolled freely in the room.
But under the shadow of the glass, Shen Jian and Shen Pingyan were in a stalemate for a full fifteen minutes.
Shen Jian silently chewed over all the experiences he had since traveling through time, picking them up bit by bit with the silver thread that strung the pearls together, groping for the so-called "secrets" that had been leaked between him and his subordinates, strand by strand and inch by inch.
Now that he thinks about it, he revealed a lot of things... He doesn't believe that Shen Xiuzhu and the others would really ignore the loopholes of all sizes in the first few days after he came here, especially when it comes to the child of the "Spark Project"...
"Chen Lanhe's hesitant symptoms", "Now, transfer it to me", "Chen Lanhe and Shen Xiuzhu's naturally admiring eyes"...
Ahhhh! Shen Jian took a deep breath, and for the first time, he felt ashamed of his performance.
He clearly understood that once he agreed to this seemingly joking "request", his current proactive situation brought about by the difference in status would become a thing of the past forever.
Yes, Shen Jian knew very well what information was hidden behind Shen Pingyan's request: Shen Pingyan couldn't wait any longer, he wanted to make clear the information that was shaky and hidden between them, something that made him temporarily hesitant.
But Shen Jian didn't believe this information. He only believed what he had come up with, and the clues he had now were not enough to support him admitting it...
…admit that.
Shen Jian closed his eyes, "Ping Yan, has Xu Yinmo talked to you guys?"
"No," Shen Jian thought for a moment and changed his words very naturally, "Have you talked to Xu Yinmo?"
Shen Pingyan raised his eyebrows and snorted unnaturally, "I haven't talked about it, but I have interrogated it."
Shen Jian slowly widened his eyes.
"But nothing was found out during the trial." Shen Pingyan looked indifferent.
All personnel in the Intelligence Department stopped people from talking or gathering in various places, overtly or covertly. They tried all methods except those that were really excessive, but to no avail.
The young men from the Northern Military Region refused to give up even the slightest scrap of information, which made Shen Xiuzhu, who was in the war zone, angry and found an excuse to give a good beating to the subordinates left behind by Xu Yinmo.
Shen Jian coughed silently, turned his eyes away guiltily, and planned to bury this matter in his heart forever.
If you ask him to balance the delicate relationship between himself and his subordinates, he can do it; but if you ask him to hang out in the Shura field where his subordinates are always fighting against each other... Don't say it, he really doesn't dare.
Although he has not actually stepped into this cruel competition, his inexplicable intuition tells him that as long as there is a first time, there will be countless times.
Shen Pingyan raised his eyebrows, looked at the boss who seemed to be deliberately changing the subject, and slowly turned back, "So how do you think about this matter?"
Without waiting for Shen Jian to speak, he whispered, “Sir, those were the four years of the most sought-after staff officer back then.”
What Shen Jian wanted to say was immediately blocked. The accusations from his subordinates made him feel quite uneasy, and he couldn't help but click his tongue slightly.
Of course, if he still wanted to just play the original owner's guise, he could just agree to it.
But, but, that is to say, what if, what if these four years are really his fault... ?
Shen Jian suddenly felt guilty.
"Ahem, Ping Yan, do you think that if I confirm that I want to do something, then I will make all possible and impossible preparations for it?"
Shen Jian asked extremely weakly.
Shen Pingyan hit back lightly: “Are you testing me?”
Shen Jian was silent for a moment, then slowly looked away, sighing at a question that already had an answer.
He would, of course he would. Just as he would do a man-sized investigative file for a case that he couldn't win, he would also give everything he could to a slim chance.
...assuming that he was really the leader of the Wuyan Tower four years ago.
Yes, assuming that he really was the leader of the Wuyan Tower four years ago.
Once this answer was introduced, all the unreasonable places and blanks started to work smoothly like an operating panel that was finally connected to the information interface. Now it seems that this is simply the only answer.
But the problem is! He doesn't know if this is his fault. What if it was the consciousness that has been squatting in this body for the past four years that caused him to fall asleep or be gone for four years? Then he is innocent of Shen Pingyan's accusation!
But now, he and his subordinates were carefully extending their tentacles to test the possibility of this miracle. Shen Jian was more cautious than these subordinates, so he absolutely could not put this possible "innocent" possibility openly and tell Shen Pingyan.
The subordinate beside him, who looked fearless and indifferent, was obviously aware of this possibility, but he just left Shen Jian alone and dared not admit it. It was very reasonable to dig the ground with the remaining possibility.
Therefore, Shen Jian must take on this accusation.
Shen Jian felt extremely aggrieved, staring at the extremely glaring scar with deep hatred and resentment, wishing he could die right there.
Regardless of the increasingly distorted expression of the boss, Shen Pingyan, who was standing in front of the desk, couldn't help but smile as he watched.
He consciously asked for something "frankly". If Shen Jian was vague about it or avoided talking about it, it could only mean that this matter fell into the category of "making trouble without reason" and he had no chance to initiate any request.
But now Shen Jian accepted this complaint. Assuming that Shen Jian knew what he wanted to do, then his unreasonable behavior would become a matter of course, and this request would naturally become a "request".
"Boss." Chen Pingyan lowered his eyes, avoiding the part full of papers, staring quietly at the corner of the desk without any documents, and fiddled with the decorative flowers.
Shen Jian came back to his senses and nodded without comment, keeping his mouth tightly shut, not daring to reveal even a single word of affirmation.
Both of them were very calm. Even though they knew that behind this seemingly chaotic transaction between the two parties, there was some sharp weapon that could shatter the ice, but both of them were still calm in their hearts.
Shen Jian sighed again and had to concentrate on processing this information.
His current jobs: put on his vest, although this vest is currently quite questionable; manage the original owner's subordinates, but the option of "the original owner's subordinates" is still very questionable; a war against the [Middle Ages]; and a hidden task to beat up the original owner.
There are four jobs, three of which are closely related to the current situation. There is a cute puppy flying above each job, holding a piece of paper with the words "We have to deal with the Shura Field" written on it.
Shen Jian: “…”
I really want to laugh, but I can't.
"Are you undecided?" The subordinate who had the same dark pupils as the boss asked softly. The eyes behind the lenses had always been as calm as ice, and seemed to be a pool of docile spring water, but it was frozen for some reason in a trance, and now it was finally willing to crack a gap, giving those who wanted to peek at the beautiful scenery under the ice a chance.
"We... I can't make up my mind." Shen Pingyan lowered his eyes, trying his best to suppress the desire to get some promises, and withdrew his hand.
Shen Jian subconsciously held the hand that was retracting and looked at him in silence.
He had a hunch that if Shen Pingyan was willing to take a step back today, what would happen next would definitely not be what he wanted to see.
After a while, Shen Jian asked, “Have you ever thought about what to do if it’s not the case?”
What would you do if I were not your leader?
"That is not possible, sir."
Shen Pingyan's expression was indifferent, "Although Shen An repeatedly emphasized caution, he called you sir as soon as he came up. Did you know that?"
"We just call you sir."
