Chapter 775 Stupid Things
Looking at Fang Li who was leaving No. 76 in a hurry, Lin Hao held the thermos cup and calmly took a sip of wolfberry tea.

At this time, Secretary Lai came to Lin Hao and said with a smile on his face:

"Director Lin, thank you so much for this time!"

"Huh?" Lin Hao looked at Secretary Lai in confusion and asked, "What's wrong, Secretary Lai? What are you thanking me for?"

"You helped me find my son before, but due to some special reasons, I have never been able to thank you in person!"

"I have already helped the director deal with his affairs, so I came here specially to thank you!"

Then he took out a box from his pocket, handed it to Lin Hao and said gratefully:
"This is a little gift from me and my wife, please accept it!"

"You said that, no need!" He pushed the box back and said with a smile:

"Why are you thanking me? It was Director Fang who helped you find your son. If you want to thank someone, you should thank Director Fang!"

"Although you didn't say it, I know it. It was you who found out that my son was in Yuan Qingyun's casino. Otherwise, my son would be in danger!"

"As for Director Fang of the Second Division, I naturally also bought him a gift, but I definitely have to thank you!"

Hearing this, Lin Hao smiled and said, "Secretary Lai is too polite. It's just my job!"

After another round of refusing and pushing, Lin Hao finally accepted the gift. After all, there were few good people in this devil's cave No. 76, so it would be a waste not to accept it!
Besides, friendship is based on reciprocity, and this Secretary Lai is Li Lixing’s confidant, so who knows when he might be of use!

If you don't accept it, it will seem like you have ulterior motives!
Just when Lin Hao was chatting with Secretary Lai, he suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from outside!
"Crash, crackle!" The sound of cups breaking could be heard in Su Yalu's office, followed by Su Yalu's roar:

"Fang Jiashu, get out of here!"

"You still have the nerve to come to me!"

"It was me, Su Yalu, who was blind to fall in love with you!"

Everyone on the second floor heard the quarrel here, and then looked towards Su Yalu's office at the same time.

Just at this time, Fang Jiashu was pushed out of the office by Su Yalu, and Fang Jiashu kept explaining:
"Yalu, listen to me~!"

Su Yalu didn't even give him a chance to explain, and shouted angrily: "Get out of here~!"

Su Yalu closed the office door after saying that, and Fang Jiashu knocked on the door a few times. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he wanted to turn around and leave.

He found that even people from the first floor came up to laugh at him, so he shouted angrily at everyone, "What are you looking at? Do you have so much free time?"

Lin Hao looked at this premeditated scene, a smile flashed in his eyes.

Then he took a sip of wolfberry tea from the cup and said with some gloating:

"What's going on? Why did they quarrel? Weren't they all fine yesterday?"

Secretary Lai also retracted his gaze, and then whispered to Lin Hao: "I do know a little about this matter!"

"Oh~!" Lin Hao immediately became energetic upon hearing this and asked curiously:

"Secretary Lai, do you know any inside information? Tell me~!"

Secretary Lai closed the door of Lin Hao's office and said with a gossipy look on his face:

"I heard that Director Fang Jiashu was with a woman yesterday. Um, she was said to be a female student. They were caught in the act by Su Yalu..."

Secretary Lai was beaming with joy as he spoke, with an expression that looked like he was enjoying himself. It was simply too exciting to watch.

Finally, Secretary Lai said, "Originally this isn't a big deal, but I heard they were almost together, and then this kind of gossip popped up. Even the director couldn't persuade them to do anything."

"The director also knows about it!" Lin Hao asked with interest.

"Of course, otherwise I would not have known about this matter if I had not been in the office for the past two days!" Secretary Lai then continued:

"This morning I came back to report to the director, and I saw Su Yalu crying her heart out. The director was also having a headache!"

Lin Hao smiled and said nothing more. After all, it was just a double act between Fang Jiashu and Su Yalu.

However, Secretary Lai was not in No. 76 these two days, which made Lin Hao very interested. Then he looked through his memory and found something interesting.

"This guy Li Lixing doesn't even move from the Tibetans' nest!"

······
At the same time, in the office of the Investigation Division of the Second Bureau, Chen Bin was not interested in the affairs of Fang Jiashu and Su Yalu.

What interested him was that Chen Kehai might be in trouble this time and might even suffer a serious setback.

At this time, Li Tang from the action team walked in carelessly with two portions of food.

"Can you learn to knock on the door?" Chen Bin was startled when he saw Li Tang suddenly rushing in.

"What are you thinking about? Come for dinner!" Li Tang said indifferently.

Chen Bin closed the door and then said proudly, "Haven't you heard? The Red Party member in the prison confessed!"

"Just confess!" Li Tang said indifferently, "Go arrest him if you confess!"

"Oh, that's right!" Li Tang reacted at this time: "Shouldn't your detective department be responsible for arresting people? Why didn't you go?"

"Haha~!" Chen Bin said proudly, "Do you know who the person who gave up is?"

"Who cares? I'm not interested!" He put the food on the table and then said, "Hurry up and eat. You may have to work overtime today!"

Seeing that Li Tang was not interested, Chen Bin became a little anxious. At this moment he needed someone to share his happiness, but the other person was not interested.

So Chen Bin deliberately said half-heartedly: "You know the person who was betrayed!"

"What, I know him?" He put away his smile, and then a light bulb went off in his head and he said, "You mean to say that this person is from No. 76?"

"That's not right. It was quiet and peaceful when I first came up!" Li Tang looked at Chen Bin and said anxiously:

"Speak up, who is it?"

"Chen Kehai!" Chen Bin said word by word.

"What?" Li Tang said directly after hearing this: "How is this possible?"

"Have you forgotten Chen Kehai's background? He is a typical landlord and capitalist. How could the Red Party accept him?" Li Tang said in disbelief, thinking that Chen Bin was just talking nonsense!

"Haha~!" Chen Bin sneered and said absentmindedly: "That's not necessarily true~!"

Before Chen Bin could finish his words, Li Tang interrupted with an unhappy look on his face:
"What's so uncertain? Look at your smug look. Kehai is one of us. Why are you so excited?
Then Li Tang began to analyze:

"I'm telling you, it must be that guy in jail who couldn't stand it anymore, so he bit someone to be his scapegoat!"

"It's not like this hasn't happened before!"

Chen Bin said with an unhappy look on his face: "Then why didn't he bite you or me, but Chen Kehai?"

"Are you stupid?" Li Tang looked at Chen Bin with a caring look and said, "Can he bite us? That guy has never seen me. You caught him back from Tianjing yourself!"

"And Ke Hai is obviously the one with the least experience, who else should we bite if not him?"

"If it were me, I would bite him too. Would you bite him if it were you?"

"You are stupid. You compare yourself to a dog and you are quite happy about it!" Then he said mysteriously:

"As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire, and flies don't bite cracked eggs. Chen Kehai suddenly appeared. Don't you think it's suspicious?"

"Tsk~!" Li Tang was annoyed by Chen Bin's persistence in wanting Chen Kehai to die immediately. He threw down his chopsticks and said directly:
"Chen Bin, Chen Kehai is not suspicious. Let's not talk about this matter for now, let's talk about you first!"

Then Li Tang said with an unhappy look on his face: "What's the matter? You are really unhappy that your old classmate is back, right?"

"I think there is really something wrong with you. If Chen Kehai hadn't come back, would you still bite me? Then should I go into the Huangpu River to feed the fish?" Li Tang became more and more angry as he spoke.

"Don't get excited!" Chen Bin had to explain:
"I didn't say he must be. Fang Li has already gone. We will find out tomorrow whether Chen Kehai is a Red Party member or not!"

But at this point, Chen Bin said with an expression of watching a good show:
"Besides, if Chen Kehai is really a member of the Red Party, I believe that no matter how close Fang Li is to him, she would never protect him!"

When Li Tang heard what Chen Bin said, he was immediately furious and said:

"There are only a few students left in our special training class, and you can't wait for Chen Kehai to die. You see that he has a good relationship with Fang Li, and you are afraid that you will fall out of favor, right?"

"You are hopeless. Just eat it yourself! You are so angry that you are full of anger." Li Tang turned and left without even bothering to look at him.

······
On the other side, Fang Li brought people to the outside of Chen Kehai's house, but Fang Li asked others to wait while he went upstairs himself.

At this time, Chen Kehai was reading the book he had just brought back from the bookstore and the information on it.

It turned out that after leaving No. 76, Chen Kehai went to Nanmen Bookstore to buy books, reported his rescue plan, and accepted instructions from above.

At this time, Fang Li came down to the second floor under the guidance of Uncle Yang.

"Ke Hai, look what I brought you for dinner, freshly grilled Sullivan's steak!"

Then he looked at Chen Kehai curiously and said, "What are you doing?"

"I just bought a batch of books from the South Gate. They just arrived today. I'll pack them up now if I have time!"

Fang Li lost interest immediately after hearing this, so he smiled and said:

"I'll help you with the book later. Let's eat first, or it won't taste good if it gets cold!"

Chen Kehai nodded, put down the book in his hand, and sat down with Fang Li.

But during the meal, the two of them tacitly kept silent. Fang Li was troubled by the identity of Chen Kehai, his childhood friend.

However, Chen Kehai knew that Fang Li was here to arrest him, but he was confident that he could get through this hurdle.

So when they were almost done eating, Fang Li spoke:
"You know what? Last year I interrogated an old Russian named Zogel. Before he died, he had only one wish, which was to drink a glass of vodka!"

"I just wonder, how can people like us who work on the edge of a knife and lick blood be so addicted to alcohol?"

"Guess what he said!" Fang Li looked at Chen Kehai.

Chen Kehai calmly ate the remaining steak. He just shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in guessing!"

Fang Li smiled and said, "He said that for people like them, only alcohol can slightly reduce their intelligence, so that they can understand those mediocre people!"

"That person is too conceited!" Chen Kehai said while eating steak.

"I think so too. That's why I didn't let him drink a drop of alcohol before he died!" Fang Li shook the wine glass in his hand.

"Then you are quite perverted!" Chen Kehai complained.

Fang Li drank the red wine indifferently, and then continued:

"These people are just like this. They always think that when a person is about to die, their last wishes should be fulfilled!"

"But they don't know that I only like to make deals. They have no useful value, so why should I fulfill their last wishes!"

Seeing that Chen Kehai did not respond, Fang Li changed the subject:

"By the way, that Red Party member also made a deal with me today!"

Chen Kehai ate the last piece of steak at this time, sighed and said: "Finally, we are getting to the point!"

"Tell me, what did he confess to you?"

Seeing Chen Kehai so calm, Fang Li opened his mouth and finally said:
"He told me a name, the name of someone lurking around me!"

"Is he talking about me?" Chen Kehai said calmly.

"Haha, that's right!" Fang Li laughed and said, "Isn't it ridiculous that you are a Red Party member lurking beside me?"

Chen Kehai also smiled and said:
"Didn't he also say that our secret code for meeting is: Cheng Ying pestle and mortar, moon shining on the west!"

Fang Li stared at Chen Kehai and smiled, but his smile was full of indifference.

Chen Kehai responded with a look as if he was looking at a poor student, then shook his head and said:

"Commander Miao taught us that the more lifelike the signal is, the better. Do you think the words 'Cheng Ying pestle and mortar, the moon shines on the west' are lifelike?"

The smile on Fang Li's face gradually faded, and then he said expressionlessly:

"If it's not practical, why did you mention it to him?"

Chen Kehai said with disappointment in his words: "We are childhood friends, but you can't even think of this?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Li looked directly at Chen Kehai, and then said seriously:

"Ke Hai, let's stop playing dumb. You must give me an explanation for this matter, otherwise we won't even be brothers anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Kehai complained, "It's all because of you. You force me to make achievements and get promoted all day long!"

"I just wanted to test him with some words that carry some meaning, so that he would mistakenly think that I am one of theirs!"

"Remind him that he can give me the information and let him be a hero who dies bravely. I am almost successful. Maybe he will give me the information tomorrow!"

"You should have installed a bug. Didn't you notice that after he heard what I said, he asked me a question in return?"

At this time, Fang Li already believed Chen Kehai to about 70%, because since Chen Kehai knew that he could really install a bug, he should have been careful with his words and actions under normal circumstances.

"Hiss~!" In fact, Fang Li didn't know whether he should believe Chen Kehai's words, but he felt that he had done something stupid.

But what he said does make sense. When people are desperate, they may take a gamble and hand over the information to their comrades.
