The Older Man Is Addicted To Pampering His Wife - Chapter 261 - Negotiation

“You’re right, but you shouldn’t say these things to me. I’ve already retired. I’m not in charge of the Military Intelligence Bureau now.” Mo Chi naturally changed the topic.

Qin Ran frowned. “If you didn’t have any say in the Military Intelligence Bureau, then I wouldn’t have chosen you to carry out this conversation today. There’s no need for you to come and see me, right?”

Mo Chi thought to himself, If it were anyone else, he wouldn’t care even if they jumped off a building. I am willing to see you only because you are my wife…

However, he naturally could not say this.

He could only remain silent. When Qin Ran saw that he seemed to have nothing to say, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. “I know. Although you’ve retired, the entire Military Intelligence Bureau still only listens to your orders. The current director was once your trusted aide. Many of the operations of the Military Intelligence Bureau over the years have your style of command.”

!!

Mo Chi held his forehead helplessly. That was because the confidant he promoted would hand the decision-making documents in the Military Intelligence Bureau to him every week and ask him to approve them first before carrying them out. If he didn’t approve those documents, that bastard wouldn’t carry them out. Therefore, he could only continue to deal with the Military Intelligence Bureau’s matters after work.

Fog finally gave up on discussing these useless things with Qin Ran. He asked bluntly, “What exactly do you want me to help you with?”

Qin Ran’s expression became serious. She deliberated over her words and said, “I don’t know if you’ve heard of the Wolf Pack. The kidnapping of Professor Wu in the Rui Ci Hospital was done by them. They pretended to be spies from Country W, but they were actually working for their employer, and their employer…”

Qin Ran lowered her voice and said in a solemn tone, “Not only have they repeatedly stolen the cutting-edge results of our country’s biological research field, but they have also held our country’s outstanding biological scientists and researchers hostage many times.”

Qin Ran placed a report on the table and pushed it to Fog. “This is a summary of the investigation. In the past decade, the number of scientists in our biological field has disappeared far more than in other research fields.”

Fog flipped through the report and frowned, but said nothing.

Seeing that Fog didn’t say anything, Qin Ran felt a little uneasy. She took another sip of milk tea and calmed herself down before continuing, “Among these scientists who had an accident, there are my adoptive parents. Therefore, I have some selfish considerations when I investigate this organization called Phantom.

“But on the other hand, my parents are also top talents that the country can’t be measured with money. Now, there are countless scientists like them facing the threat of Phantom. Are you really going to sit back and do nothing?”

“I understand how you feel about your parents, but declaring war on an elusive organization like Phantom is not something that can be decided by my will alone. The Military Intelligence Bureau is a national department, not my own company.”

Qin Ran bit her lip tightly. She knew that Fog was right, but…

“The Military Intelligence Bureau is different from the National Security Bureau. Are you afraid that your decision will cause the Military Intelligence Bureau to suffer a major blow? But this also means that you have the ability to make this decision, right?

“The National Security Bureau is more like a domestic bureaucracy. My superior is completely helpless in the face of this matter. This is also the reason why I looked for you. I believe that you are a righteous, brave, professional, and responsible leader. I have always admired you very much in my heart. I only told you these things because I believe in you.” Qin Ran said these words without hesitation.

Mo Chi was dumbfounded when he heard this. So his image in his wife’s heart was actually so glorious? But that wasn’t what she said two days ago…

“So, you won’t allow Phantom to continue to commit evil and will also protect more scientists like my parents, right?” Qin Ran looked at Mo Chi with sparkling eyes. At that moment, Mo Chi felt that he had become the hero in the lass’s heart.

At this moment, Qin Ran was also a little nervous. She admitted that she said these words against her conscience. When she thought about how Fog was the bad guy who had ruthlessly humiliated and bullied her, she wished she could turn around and leave. However, for the sake of her parents, the country’s security, and so many scientists she didn’t know, she decided to swallow her pride and beg Fog to help her.

Mo Chi was silent for a long time. Confliction and hesitation flashed across his eyes. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help the lass, but he had his own difficulties. He had once made a promise to others…

“I…” Mo Chi was about to say something when there was an intense knock on the door.
