Spy Family

(Thanks to the leader: twomix560.)

Family history is one of the important courses in spy training. The third uncle does not teach history, but he loves to talk about this topic. He often rambles on in the last few minutes of class, always in high spirits and much more excited than the main lecture.

"The prosperity of the family is the prosperity of the planet. I think back then, there were Guangye farms everywhere on this planet, but there were not many people. The Guangye farms were automated and developed roughly, like patches of weeds. They had completed their greening. If the mission continues to expand, it will become harmful and require proper pruning.”

"This is the period of great development. Small towns have appeared around Guangye Farm. They produce and sell their own goods and are self-sufficient. There is no need for companies or administration. One or several families can manage the farms and small towns, and It was managed very well. A perfect town should not have more than 5,000 people, and the less contact with the outside world, the better. Unfortunately, the planet soon experienced a population explosion, and there were not enough Guangye farms, so people began to fight overtly and secretly. Cities appeared, farm complexes appeared, energy companies, transportation companies, and interstellar committees jumped out one after another, claiming rights to the entire planet."

"If the family wants to survive, it has to give up some of its rights and learn to coexist with the wild beasts. You are the minions of the family. You must warn the enemy from time to time to let them know the boundaries and propriety."

Mei Qianzhong stuck his head out of the apartment window, unlocked the car parked at the door of the building, and said loudly: "Ye Zi, you drive."

Lu Yezhou raised his head and waved his hand vigorously.

This is a very common scene that happens between good friends. People are coming and going on the street, and no one cares about it.

Lu Yezhou sat in the driver's seat, held the steering wheel with one hand, and said the address. The car started slowly and merged into traffic. It was often stopped by pedestrians and it took nearly twenty minutes to drive normally.

Lu Yezhou suddenly raised his hand and punched the steering wheel hard, "Traitor! Shameless traitor! Why would the Emergency Department want such a person?"

Dirty words shot out of his mouth like bullets, and they stopped after a few minutes. Lu Yezhou turned to look at his companion, "Don't you want to say something?"

Lu Linbei shook his head, "I just want to end this matter as soon as possible."

"How does it end? Even if the con man saves his life, his career is over, and so are we. Even if Ding is... sentenced to death, it still won't be able to make up for the loss. How... how could he be so stupid? He was obviously persuaded and used by Cui Zhuning , He actually thought that everything was his idea! Before meeting him, I would never have believed that there could be such a stupid person!"

Lu Yezhou was a little angry, completely different from his previous behavior.

Lu Linbei had the same view, but his focus was different, "Cui Zhuning is a powerful spy."

Lu Yezhou looked obviously surprised, "You speak for him?"

"This is not a statement for anyone, but a fact."

Lu Yezhou was silent for a while and asked: "What should I do? Do you really do what they say? You just said... that Cui Zhuning is a powerful spy. What is the basis for it?"

He originally wanted to ask what "look at the person first" meant, but he changed his words because Lu Linbei was winking, which was very subtle and only friends who had been together for many years could understand it.

The car had been parked downstairs, and Dimplun was likely to have placed surveillance equipment in the car.

Lu Yezhou regretted what he had just said, biting his lips and his face turned red from holding back.

Lu Linbei leaned against the car window, looking at the lights in the night, "Cui Zhuning alone dared to persuade a hostile analyst to rebel against the company, and he succeeded. This kind of thing is easier said than done. It’s even more difficult.”

"Yeah. The person named Ding is still too stupid." Lu Yezhou gritted his teeth and said, since he has already said it, there is no need to hide it anymore.

"Then you have to see his stupidity in advance, which is also difficult." Lu Linbei deliberately said these words to the monitor.

"Then you mean to listen to their arrangements?"

"No matter what, we have to rescue the con man first. Without the team leader, the team members are nothing."

"Even if the con man escapes danger, can he still be the team leader?"

"This... the opinion of the superiors is what matters. Who is more responsible for this matter? The con man or Ding Pullun?"

"I still can't believe he could be so stupid."

"He seems like a guy with a lot of background."

"It's people like this who destroy the entire organization. My third uncle is right, family management is the best, don't recruit outsiders."

"Ding Pullun may also be from a certain family."

"Some families have declined more seriously...don't argue with me now, okay?"

Lu Linbei hummed.

The car drove out of the old city, and the road gradually opened up. There were still many vehicles, but there were no pedestrians to hinder them. They drove very fast and did not require human control.

The car drove into a neighborhood that looked very nice.

"There's something I need to explain."

"you say."

"Ding Pulun said that you are the 'heir' of the organization, which may be true, but at the time I really thought... when I saw those eyes, I thought they were aimed at me."

"It's normal. If it were me, I would make the same mistake."

"I didn't mean to lie to you."

"Of course, what would you gain by lying to me about this kind of thing?"

Lu Yezhou smiled happily, "I understand, but I still have to make it clear."

The car slows down and the voice prompts that it is about to reach its destination.

Lu Yezhou took over the steering wheel and parked the car sideways on the side of the road, facing the house across the street. They couldn't see the house number clearly, but the car would not go to the wrong place.

The houses in this area are all low-rise buildings with two or three floors. There are no pedestrians on the street and it is very quiet. Most of the houses have turned off their lights, as has the house opposite.

Lu Yezhou turned on and off the lights three times and waited for several minutes, but received no response and no one came out.

"Have we... completed the mission?" Lu Yezhou asked.

"Wait a moment, I think the people in the room are watching us."

A few more minutes passed, and finally there was movement on the other side. A figure flashed out of the door and walked over quickly.

Lu Yezhou looked close to the car window and observed, "The scammer said this is someone from our farm. Do you recognize who it is? It seems to be a woman."

As soon as that figure appeared, Lu Linbei felt his heart skip a beat, and a few tingles spread from his heart to his limbs. Even when he spoke, his mouth was filled with sourness, "Well, I seem to recognize him."

He recognized this woman so well that he didn't even need to see her appearance. He was sure of her just by the way she walked.

The woman was wearing close-fitting clothes, with a tall figure and long strides, as if she was preparing for a run, but she didn't appear panicked, and instead gained a bit of confidence.

She opened the car door directly, sat in the back seat, and said, "Ye Zi, drive."

"Ah? It's... I didn't expect it to be the real sister... Where are you going?"

"Diplomatic Building."

The car started, and the woman reached out and pressed Lu Linbei's shoulder, "I'm so glad to see you again."

"Well, I'm also...very happy."

In an instant, Lu Linbei forgot about the dire situation in front of him, forgot about Mei Qianzhong who was still in danger, and even forgot about being in the car. He was suddenly dragged back to the past by his memory.

Her surname is Mei, and her name is Mei Wangzhen. She is Mei Qianzhong's cousin. She is two years younger and one year older than Lu Linbei. Like her cousin, she has been the jewel of the family since she was a child.

There were countless people who had a crush on her, and Lu Linbei was one of them. When he was studying on the farm, like everyone else, he had a simple crush and didn't think there would be a chance, and he didn't even think about expressing it.

Until entering college campus.

Even after several years, Lu Linbei didn't understand where the courage came from, and he dared to open his mouth. Maybe it was like some people said, as soon as they leave the farm, some people's hearts will grow strangely, and only when they return to the farm can they Back to normal.

In Lu Linbei's junior year, he confessed his love to Mei Wangzhen, who was about to graduate. Looking back, the scene was actually not too unpleasant. It could be said to be harmonious. Mei Wangzhen showed a hint of surprise, and then politely reminded: "We are a family. We are siblings, you may have mistaken the relationship between us."

Mei Wangzhen comforted him for a long time.

Lu Linbei forced a smile and fell on the bed as soon as he returned to the dormitory, never wanting to get up again.

Then rumors spread that Mei Wangzhen came to visit him specially and swore that he had not revealed a word to outsiders.

Lu Linbei believed her. Afterwards, he slowly understood that secret love was a publicity that he thought was kept secret. People around him had seen it clearly and talked quietly among themselves, hiding it from the person involved.

This was Lu Linbei's first experience of suffering from "Interstellar Orphan Syndrome" in college. On the advice of the school, he chose to drop out of school and return to the farm to stay there for four years.

Like many people who failed to express their love, Lu Linbei once became angry and humiliated. He secretly hoped that Mei Wangzhen would fail in life and regretted his original rejection...

But he knew that such thoughts were shameless. Mei Wang really didn't do anything wrong. He was just walking on his own path without caring about others and didn't want to be interfered with.

Lu Linbei's mood has been calm for a long time, but his interest in school has never recovered.

Seeing his old friend again, Lu Linbei felt the familiar throbbing again, and then thought: She deserves a happy life.

Lu Yezhou had heard a little about these two people and couldn't help but take a second look. However, he was more concerned about the current situation, so he coughed and said, "We haven't said the code word yet."

Mei Wangzhen smiled and said: "Isn't the secret language sitting in front of me? So the scammer has decided to take action?"

"Yes, start immediately." Lu Linbei's voice became normal. The sour and numb feeling at first sight was like the last aroma of wine deposited in the jar. It floated out as soon as it was opened. It was strong and disappeared quickly.

But he couldn't guarantee that he only had this jar in his heart.

"Okay, from now on, you follow my arrangements. We have two teams, Team A is responsible for arresting, and Team B is responsible for monitoring. Later, Ye Zi will go to the arresting team, and Lao Bei will go to the monitoring team. Things have been arranged for an hour. It can be completed within a short period of time, there will be no danger, you two can just treat it as a practice."

"Okay." They both said at the same time.

Lu Yezhou looked at his companions again. This time it had nothing to do with gossip, but understood what the saying "it depends on the person" meant: If the person you are contacting has super abilities, you might as well tell the truth. If the person has average abilities, you should follow Ding Pulun's arrangements. Better.

Is Mei Wangzhen capable of handling the crisis? Lu Yezhou didn't know, so he was waiting for his companion to make a decision.

Lu Linbei didn't know either. He was adjusting his mentality, trying hard to put aside his preconceptions, make a quick judgment on Mei Wangzhen without mixing any emotions.

"Okay." Mei Wangzhen said suddenly and moved to sit in the middle of the back seat. "I have temporarily taken over the monitoring of the car. We have about three minutes of safety time. Now tell me everything."
