Chapter 14

The series of questions made Bai Yan alert.

Oh no, this is a shooting range? Did I go to the wrong place and run into a restricted area?

She was just mistaken by Meng Hechuan as an enemy spy, and the suspicion has not been cleared yet. Could it be that this is another misunderstanding?

Seeing the man getting closer and closer to her, Bai Yan stepped back subconsciously, “Wait a minute, don’t come over here yet!”

I was walking in a hurry and didn’t notice that my steps were tangled. My left foot tripped over my right foot and I fell backwards.

She exclaimed softly and grasped at the air.

The man reached out to pull her, but the person behind Bai Yan was one step faster.

Bai Yan fell into the arms of the person behind her.

A pair of big hands clasped her slender waist from both sides, and the dry and broad palms left a brief but hot touch on her waist.

Bai Yan turned her head and met the thick black eyes under the frowning brows.

Meng Hechuan’s hand had not completely let go of her, and the distance between the two of them exceeded the safe limit.

His breathing was rising and falling, and his breath was a little disordered.

Bai Yan quickly took a small step to the side, and Meng Hechuan decisively withdrew his hand.

But he did not drop his hand back to his side. Instead, he reached out to the man in front of him, passing Bai Yan, and greeted him politely: “Chief Engineer Tan.”

After saying that, he turned around and introduced to Bai Yan: “This is Chief Engineer Tan Hean of Shouhang Company. She is…”

Tan He presses?

The male protagonist in the original book?

In the original book, Tan Hean is a young chief engineer who is on par with Meng Hechuan.

The two men are of similar age and equally handsome, so they are often compared.

In addition, both of their names have the sound of “he”, so in order to distinguish them, people in the circle also called them “Nan He Bei He”.

Beihe is naturally Meng Hechuan, the son of three generations of powerful and wealthy people, and a typical young master in the Beijing circle.

Tan Hean’s great-grandfather traveled to Southeast Asia during the Republic of China period, founded a food company there, and became a well-known overseas Chinese.

When it came to Tan Hean’s generation, he returned to China with the large amount of funds accumulated by his family in Southeast Asia and founded the first civil aviation company, and he himself worked as a senior engineer.

Although the two men entered the aviation field through different ways, they both stayed in the circle in the end.

Become the first or second most important person in the circle.

However, in the first half of the book, Meng Hechuan always has the upper hand in terms of family background and knowledge.

Until the end he went astray and was defeated by Tan Hean.

Bai Yan clung to Tan He’an, a promising big man, tightly and quickly.

Before Meng Hechuan could think of the right words to introduce himself, she had already extended her hand, “Hello, Chief Engineer Tan, my name is Bai Yan, Bai means white, and Yan means rouge.”

Her advances were met with a sidelong glance from Meng Hechuan. Is this woman so proactive towards everyone?

Or does she have some special relationship with Tan Hean?

Thinking of this, Meng Hechuan raised his eyelids slightly and glanced over indifferently.

It just happened to meet Bai Yan’s eyes.

Bai Yan’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t know why, but she felt that there was a warning in his indifferent eyes.

A man of insight is a wise man. Since she had introduced herself anyway, Bai Yan quickly withdrew her outstretched hand and obediently moved her feet behind Meng Hechuan so as not to steal his limelight.

Meng Hechuan also retracted his gaze and looked at Tan Hean again, “Today’s welcome party is held in the auditorium. Chief Engineer Tan is attending as a representative of the Civil Aviation Administration. It’s almost time for the meeting to start. Why is he at the shooting range?”

In the military district, in addition to the special terrain requirements of the kitchen squad, the closer the layout is to the inside, the more confidential it is.

In addition to being used as a place for target practice on weekdays, the shooting range also has two runways at the back end, which are reserved for combat training for pilots.

Therefore, in this area, non-related personnel are strictly prohibited from entering privately on weekdays.

Tan Hean showed an apologetic expression on his face, “I know the rules of the brigade, and I didn’t mean to break into the shooting range. There was a misunderstanding.”

He paused and cast his gaze towards Bai Yan. “The welcome party hasn’t started yet, so I decided to go out for a walk. When I got here, I happened to see this unfamiliar comrade lingering here repeatedly. I remembered that there was a ban on the shooting range of the brigade, so I followed him to take a look.”

Although Tan Hean’s words were vague, Bai Yan understood them quite well.

She pointed at herself in surprise, “So what Chief Engineer Tan meant was that you followed me here because you wanted to monitor me?”

Tan He nodded slightly.

It’s natural to be wary of strangers you’ve never seen before.

But whether it was Meng Hechuan or Tan Hean in front of him, they all regarded her as a spy.

Even though Bai Yan had a nonchalant temper, it was hard not to get angry.

It seems that there is no hope of hugging the thigh that Tan He pressed.

Bai Yan lowered her head and stopped talking, but her mood was even lower than before.

Meng Hechuan glanced sideways.

As smart as he was, he noticed that something was wrong with Bai Yan.

He paused, and spoke for her, a rare occasion: “Bai Yan is someone I met by chance during this trip south. She is familiar with foreign languages ​​and is currently going through an identity check. If there are no problems with her identity, she may be able to make an exception and become a translator and join the space team.”

During the time that Bai Yan lived in Room 306, Meng Hechuan was not idle either.

He used the aerospace brigade’s information network to trace back Bai Yan’s family and social relations.

Apart from two fathers and brothers who are greedy for money and love gambling, there are no other major problems of principle.

And as he investigated, he also indirectly proved that Bai Yan did not lie at the train station that day.

She was just an ordinary person who wanted to escape from her marriage overnight to avoid her father and brother who sold her to a butcher.

After finding out this, Meng Hechuan had gradually dispelled his doubts about Bai Yan’s identity.

But what a coincidence, on the eve of the exchange meeting, Bai Yan proposed to go to the kitchen to visit an older sister.

And how could it be such a coincidence that he and Tan Hean appeared in the restricted area of ​​the shooting range together?

There are many doubts. If it were the Meng Hechuan of the past, he would never take the risk and make an exception to find an unidentified person to join the team’s confidential research and development mission.

But now time is tight and technical difficulties are difficult to overcome without translation.

He could only take a gamble and give it a try.

After hearing Meng Hechuan’s introduction, Tan He, who had been calm all along, twitched his eyes slightly, “Translator? Did Chief Engineer Meng get some foreign information again, so he urgently needs a translator?”

Meng Hechuan’s eyes were dark, and his smile was very shallow. “This is a confidential matter, so I can’t talk about it in detail. Chief Engineer Tan, please forgive me.”

Bai Yan glanced around and always felt that the atmosphere between the two men in front of her was strangely tense.

On second thought, I realized that the two people in the book were sworn enemies. They were polite to each other on the surface, but they were fighting fiercely behind the scenes.

Under such a setting, it is normal that they have a bad relationship.

Meng Hechuan stopped the topic in time. He looked at Bai Yan’s wrist, raised his chin, and asked her, “It’s getting late, isn’t it?”

Before Bai Yan could pull up her sleeves to look at her watch, Tan Hean had already stepped forward, “Since it was a misunderstanding, Chief Engineer Meng, one of our own from the brigade, is here, so I feel relieved.”

He apologized to Bai Yan again and said, “I’m going to the auditorium first.”

Meng Hechuan nodded with a smile, and their hands touched lightly before they separated.

But after Tan He turned around, the curve at the corner of Meng Hechuan’s mouth quickly disappeared.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of doubt, and looked at Tan He’an’s back, frowning and thinking.

Bai Yan didn’t notice his abnormality and took a step forward to break the silence. “Um… don’t get me wrong, I really just wanted to go see Aunt Zhang. I didn’t have any other intentions, and I didn’t deliberately go around to the shooting range to peek.”

“Um.”

“I don’t know Mr. Tan… Mr. Tan either. This is the first time we meet.”

“Um.”

Bai Yan thought of countless ways to explain in her mind, but was interrupted just as she began.

“Um?”

“Well.” Meng Hechuan was very frugal with his words, “Let’s go.”

Bai Yan was confused by his actions and stopped where she was. “Where are you going?”

He took long steps forward, the epaulettes sewn back on his shoulders gleaming with metallic luster, against his sharp profile and cold white skin, “The kitchen dormitory.”
