Chapter 179 Brother! Do you still know Qiao'er?
Wang Manxue kept her word and really asked the driver to drive to a western restaurant.
Fortunately! The western restaurant was not closed, and Xiang Chu followed her into the restaurant.
There were many gentlemen and foreigners dining in the restaurant, making it quite lively.
Wang Manxue chose to sit at the table by the window and ordered a table of Western dishes including steak, seafood, roast chicken, pasta, etc.
When the dishes were served, she specifically reminded:
"Team Leader Xiang! It seems that you grew up eating sweet potatoes and don't know how to eat Western food. Remember to learn from me and don't let the foreigners laugh at you."
"understand!"
Xiang Chu smiled and nodded, then took off his military coat, accidentally revealing the three guns on his waist.
Wang Manxue saw this, raised her wine glass, and said with a smile:
"Nice to meet you!"
"Feel the same!"
Xiang Chu raised his glass and clinked it with hers, then took a sip.
But Wang Manxue drank it all in one gulp.
She said angrily: "Team Leader Xiang! Shouldn't we drink up the toast?"
"Okay! Drink it up."
Xiang Chu drank it all in one gulp helplessly.
Unexpectedly, Wang Manxue poured another cup and said with a smile:
"Team Leader Xiang! I respect you, you should also respect me."
"Okay! I toast to you."
Xiang Chu raised his glass and clinked it with hers, and they both drank it all in one gulp.
"We respect each other!"
Wang Manxue didn't give him a chance to breathe.
After drinking three cups in a row, Wang Manxue's face was already flushed.
Xiang Chu was also a little overwhelmed, and couldn't help but secretly complain: "Why did I run into such a female devil?"
In order to deal with her continued drinking contest, he hurriedly used his knife and fork to eat his steak very skillfully.
Wang Manxue was very puzzled and tilted her head in confusion, "No, handsome boy! You are so skilled with a knife and fork, and obviously have received higher education, why do you like to eat sweet potatoes?"
“Sweet potatoes are very nutritious.”
Xiang Chu laughed and threatened her on purpose.
"Also, I used to be a butcher."
Wang Manxue was extremely excited when she heard this. She slammed the table and said loudly, "Really? That's great! Please describe how to kill pigs, cows and dogs? I love to hear it the most."
A gentleman at the next table couldn't help but say:
"Miss! This is a Western restaurant, not a slaughterhouse."
"you wanna die!"
Wang Manxue roared and reached out to pull out a Browning from Xiang Chu's waist.
"Bang!"
She fired a shot at the gentleman's feet, and the gentleman got up and ran away in fear.
"what--!"
The diners also screamed and rushed out of the western restaurant, the tables were overturned and the restaurant was in chaos.
Xiang Chu didn't expect that she did things without considering the consequences and acted arbitrarily.
But he had seen such scenes many times, so he just ate and drank.
Wang Manxue praised: "Team Leader Xiang! I didn't expect you to carry so many guns. This gun is great. Give it to me."
Xiang Chu was simply shocked that someone sent him a gun without even asking for his opinion. He could only smile helplessly and said, "As long as you like it!"
Wang Manxue completely ignored the fact that Xiang Chu hadn't finished eating, stood up, patted his shoulder and said:
"I'm full! Let's go."
However, many dishes on the table were hardly touched.
She held a pistol in her hand, humming the opera "Mulan Joins the Army", and swaggered out of the Western restaurant.
Xiang Chu put on his military uniform, glanced at the dining table with regret, and hurriedly got up to follow her.
The boss was crying and didn't dare to go forward to ask for money.
"Give!"
Xiang Chu took out two hundred-yuan French francs and stuffed them into the poor boss's pocket.
"Thank you, sir!"
The boss said with great emotion.
Xiang Chu got into the car with Wang Manxue, and the driver immediately started the engine and drove towards Nanjing.
Wang Manxue drank a lot of wine, leaned her head on Xiang Chu, and fell asleep.
Xiang Chu thought to himself: "It's better for me to fall asleep so that I don't have to worry about you!"
He let her lean on him, and he felt the fox fur on her body was very warm, and soon fell asleep.
When I woke up, I was already at Nanjing Railway Station.
The driver didn't dare to wake up Wang Manxue and took them to Nanjing Railway Station as a matter of course.
And sadly, the car was out of gas.
"You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
Wang Manxue roared and was about to raise her gun.
"No! My car is at the train station."
Xiang Chu hurriedly snatched the gun from her hand.
He hustled around and moved Wang Manxue and her luggage into his car.
At this time, it was already 12 o'clock in the evening.
Xiang Chu started the engine and asked with a smile: "Miss Wang! Where is your home?"
Wang Manxue was feeling very uncomfortable because of the alcohol. She waved her hand and said, "I have drunk so much. I can't go home. Please take me to Jinling Hotel."
"All right!"
Xiang Chu drove towards Jinling Hotel.
Maybe it was because of the strong aftereffect of the red wine and the bumpy ride, she started vomiting continuously.
Xiang Chu finally got her to Jinling Hotel and booked a room for her.
He took off her fox fur, wiped her face, hands and feet, put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt.
He didn't dare leave her alone in the hotel, so he took care of her all night long.
She quieted down at dawn, and he fell into a deep sleep leaning on the sofa.
When I woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and Wang Manxue had already left with her suitcase.
He was covered with a piece of paper which read:
"Xiang Chu! Don't tell anyone about what happened last night, or you will surely die!"
"Virtue! I'm really afraid that you'll pester me."
Xiang Chu sneered, tore up the paper, went out to pay, and drove straight to the Military Intelligence Department.
But he thought again and felt that it was understandable for Wang Manxue to say that. After all, the two of them were alone in a room at Jinling Hotel for one night, and no amount of explanation could explain it.
And if she told others about it, she would not have the face to marry someone else.
Military Intelligence Department, Director's Office.
Xu Xu handed the list of players of the Intelligence Department basketball team to Dai Nong and said happily, "Director! I have already made an agreement with the Political Department. We will play the game at 2 pm today on the Political Department playground."
Dai Nong checked the 12-man roster for the basketball game drawn up by Xu Xu and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Xu Xu! If you pick all the fat guys like Liu Zhengxiong, Wang Batian, Ning Qiang, Bao Ge, as well as the thin guys like Yang Jiang, Zhang Linmao, Mi Shengqi, Lu Xiong, Sun Ji, and the smokers like Zhang Changsheng and Li Maocai to play with Xiang Chu, can we still win this game?"
Xu Xu said with a smile: "Director! Our goal is not to compete, and we must not win against the Political Department. These people have a very good relationship with Xiang Chu. My goal is to expose Xiang Chu's identity as the 'Phoenix' in front of them and shock them."
"Yeah! That makes sense."
Dai Nong nodded and ordered,
"Give this list to Xiang Chu and let him organize the competition."
Xu Xu said with a smile: "Director! Why don't we let our cheering team captain Lieutenant Lin go to him?"
"And the cheering team?"
Dai Nong was very confused.
Xu Xu nodded and said, "Of course! In addition to the cheering team, I also sent a 12-member execution team. If Xiang Chu does have a red mole on his chest, he will be shot on the spot."
Dai Nong scolded, "Nonsense! How could you kill people in the Political Department? You must keep quiet, wait until we come back to arrest them, and then interrogate them to reveal the gang."
Xu Xu played the kinship card and said with a smile: "Cousin! Am I not afraid that this kid will notice and run away in time?"
Dai Nong thought about it and nodded, "Okay! You should make a prompt decision when the time comes. Once you find a red mole, capture it immediately or even kill it directly."
"Yes! I gave this list to Lieutenant Lin Qiao'er and asked her to give it to Xiang Chu. Haha!"
Xu Xu accepted the order with great joy and left the office with the basketball team roster.
Liu Mei walked out of the inner room and whispered, "Dear! Have you really decided to do this?"
"Of course!"
Dai Nong nodded heavily.
Liu Mei shook her head and said, "I don't think it's appropriate. Xiang Chu has made outstanding contributions and is highly regarded by his superiors and supported by his subordinates. Kong Ling, Song Xi, Ning Caiwei, and Miss Wang Manxue all favor him. A woman can do anything for love. Just think about how many people he will offend."
Dai Nong asked in surprise: "And Wang Manxue?"
Liu Mei said slowly, "Yes! I heard from someone who came back from Shanghai that Xiang Chu and Wang Manxue went to Zhenjiang Railway Station last night to help them get their suitcase back, and they haven't come back yet."
Dai Nong said stubbornly: "Never mind! I really want to know if Xiang Chu is the 'Phoenix'. Since Xu Xu has already arranged it, let him arrange it."
"Xu Xu is not good at anything, but he is good at making trouble. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
Liu Mei sneered, waved her hand, swayed her plump body, and walked out of his office.
At this time, Xiang Chu had returned to his office.
He picked up the phone and was about to ask who took his suitcase.
Lin Qiaoer, wearing a brand new lieutenant's uniform, ran in.
She closed the door and said happily, "Brother! Do you still recognize Qiao'er?"
