My Spy Years

Cheng Qianfan recalled a conversation he had with Lao Liao. Lao Liao gestured excitedly, saying that what he looked forward to most was at the end of the year, basking in the sun in his ancestral home courtyard, smoking a cigarette pack, shouting out, and having (grand)sons and (grand)daughters surround him. The commotion from his grandchildren would be truly delightful.,By the time you stepped through the door, the carriage was teeming with people, packed so tightly it felt like being in a sardine can.,At the same time, he took up the telescope and glanced at it casually, biting on his cigar and speaking, "Chief, I'm just good at the heavy lifting. You want me to shoot this old man dead I can do that. But when it comes to thinking things through, I'm not the right person for the job."。
