Spy Family

The three of them found an open space and stopped to rest again. Lu Linbei took out the crucial microcomputer, looked at it for a while, and asked his third uncle: "How much price is the association willing to pay for it?"

"It's hard to estimate. I also just learned not long ago that using the data obtained from the earth can solve more problems than all the achievements of the association since its establishment combined."

"So, we still have a glimmer of hope." Lu Linbei said with a smile.

The third uncle frowned slightly, "Assuming everything goes well, do you think it is worthwhile to get rid of Guan Zhuqian and offend the more powerful Advanced Technology Exchange Association?"

"I haven't weighed it yet." Lu Linbei thought for a while, then smiled again, "Just take it one step at a time. The association is very powerful, and maybe it won't care about a little person like me."

The third uncle shook his head gently and looked directly at Chen Manchi for the first time, "He was not like this before."

"Yeah." After a while, Chen slowly figured out the meaning of Uncle San's words, "You mean I changed him?"

"At least it's because of you."

Chen smiled slowly, then showed a hint of confusion, "Compared with before, is he better or worse now?"

"To me, he is completely useless and a waste. To you, he has done his best."

"If you say that, I'm very happy." Chen Manchi showed a bright smile and turned his eyes to Lu Linbei, "I will do my best for you."

"You've done it."

The third uncle frowned even more tightly, as if he was forced to eat extremely disgusting food in front of distinguished guests. He couldn't refuse it, but it was hard to swallow it.

"I want to restore the Internet connection and listen to what the association has to say."

Lu Linbei was familiar with the task, and it took less than a minute to restore the three people's chips to normal, but other electronic devices were still isolated.

The first person to receive the call turned out to be Chen Manchi. She was startled and looked at Lu Linbei. After receiving the signal, she accepted the call.

It turned out that he was a customer. He went to the store and found that no one was there. He wanted to know when the fortune teller would be free.

As soon as he entered the role of a fortune teller, Chen Manchi quickly calmed down, remained silent for a moment, and replied: "Don't be anxious, and don't give up. Let fate give you reminders. Next time you really want to have your fortune told, I will naturally be there."

The customer ends the call satisfied.

Lu Linbei was accustomed to this set of words, but this was the first time that his third uncle heard it. He actually showed a little interest and asked: "If the guest comes next time and finds that you are still not there, how will you explain it?"

Chen Manchi said blankly: "No need to explain. Generally speaking, guests will reflect on themselves: Did they come too early? Or too late? Or they don't particularly want to come?"

The third uncle nodded, "I understand, everything comes down to whether the other party is sincere."

"Third Uncle is absolutely right." Chen smiled slowly, his hostility towards Third Uncle having faded a lot.

The second person who received the call was Uncle San, who came from his office. He hummed a few times and said, "I'm fine now. There's no need to send anyone over. Let the Advanced Technology Exchange Association solve the problem. Five copies to the Military Intelligence Department Has the report been submitted? Inform the embassy that today's meeting with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has to be postponed. When should I go back? Probably before dark, postpone it to tomorrow afternoon, okay..."

The third uncle arranged more than ten tasks.

Chen Manchi said with admiration: "Uncle San has so many things to do every day?"

“It’s just a small part of the day-to-day work.”

"Does this happen every day?"

"every day."

"What about your day off?"

"On my days off, I work at my residence."

"I thought that high-ranking officials like Third Uncle... don't have to work so hard. They are either doing nothing or eating, drinking and having fun every day."

"Well, your thinking can't be wrong, because although I have a lot of work, most of it, it can be said that more than 90% of it is worthless and meaningless, just like Lu Linbei now."

Chen Manchi didn't like hearing such words and raised his head slightly, "To me, the current Lu Linbei is priceless and of great significance."

"This is called impulsiveness. I should have thought of it earlier. Lu Linbei has shown this tendency a long time ago."

"You also want to mention the real sister?" Chen Manchi became even more angry. Loving someone should be a beautiful thing, but everyone seemed to use it to attack Lu Linbei.

"Honestly? She didn't count that long ago."

"Huh? Did Lao Bei have a crush on someone earlier?"

Lu Linbei, who was waiting for the call, hurriedly interrupted: "No, Third Uncle... Third Uncle didn't mean that."

"Well, it's a secret love, but it's not the kind of crush you think. Lu Linbei, when you were eleven or twelve years old, did you skip a day of class and go to the city to buy a birthday gift for your mother? At that time you You haven’t entered my class yet.”

Lu Linbei took a deep breath and didn't breathe it out. A scene from many years ago suddenly appeared in his mind. He hitchhiked into the city and wandered around the business district, trying to buy a special gift with the little money he had. , things that could obviously be solved online, he had to go there in person to feel relieved.

He had almost forgotten about this matter. Once his third uncle mentioned it, the whole process immediately came back to his mind, and every detail was vividly remembered.

"Third uncle actually still remembers this?"

"Well, I have to learn more about every student I recruit. You have a tendency to be impulsive and have strong emotional insecurities. This was my judgment of you at the time. But your performance in the next few years was very Well, I thought you didn’t have a big problem, but now it seems that you just hid it better. By the way, did that gift please your mother? Will she treat you better than other children from now on? "

Lu Linbei smiled and said, "No, my mother never dotes on a child in particular. My gifts are piled together with other children's gifts, and she doesn't have any special expression."

Chen Manchi gently grabbed one of Lu Linbei's arms, loving him even more in her heart.

The third uncle turned to Chen Manchi, "Look, that's why he showed his best side to you. In fact, he has always been like this, but only if you responded to his kindness, he got encouragement and got out of hand."

Chen slowly looked at Lu Linbei's side face and said softly: "That's because we are the same person. I encourage him, and he also encourages me. Both of us... are 'out of control'."

Lu Linbei also looked at Chen Manchi, and the embarrassing experience in the past became insignificant, "Yes, we are the same person."

The third uncle held his forehead and squeezed it a few times, as if he was struggling to get rid of the nightmare, "This is not what I meant at all, but it's okay, I don't have to have any expectations for you anymore."

Lu Linbei finally received the call, and it sounded like the smiling man's voice, "Are you still in the forest?"

"It's about less than two kilometers away from Farm No. 1. You should be able to find the specific location of the chip. I'm wearing it."

"Okay, Guan Zhuqian will meet you in about five minutes. He will be alone and without weapons. You can rest assured. The association will guarantee your safety. The only requirement is that you hand over the microcomputer."

"Can Guan Zhuqian represent the association?"

"No, but she will explain things clearly and the grudges between you will be resolved. Does this satisfy you?"

"We'll wait until she gets there. After I end the call, I'll disconnect again, but my location won't change."

"etc……"

Lu Linbei ended the call, quickly interrupted the networking function of the three chips, and then asked: "Is there still a chance to implement Uncle San's plan?"

The third uncle shook his head, "When I was on the phone with the office, I had already ordered the implementation of the backup plan, but it was too late and they were too far away. The people I arranged would not arrive until an hour later at the fastest. Guan Zhuqian was still a good chess player. One move."

Lu Linbei hummed and lowered his head to think, but Chen Manchi was shocked, because she had just heard her third uncle say that there was no need to send anyone, but she didn't expect that he quietly ordered the implementation of the backup plan. He must have expressed it in code words that she did not understand.

Chen Manchi felt more and more profound about the espionage industry and disliked it more and more. Especially when she thought of Guan Zhuqian's upcoming arrival, she couldn't help but become nervous.

Lu Linbei said to Chen Manchi: "The 'Secret Word' plan will still be implemented, but this time the target is Guan Zhuqian."

"Um."

"Are you a little scared?" Lu Linbei saw that something was not right about Chen Manchi's expression.

"I'm not afraid, I'm just...a little nervous. I feel like this every time I think about Team Leader Guan. It's okay, it doesn't affect my movements."

The third uncle standing aside said: "Guan Zhuqian's body modification is more thorough than yours, and she uses many new technologies. No matter whether you are nervous or not, you are no match for her."

"I will try my best..." Chen Manchi couldn't pretend to be confident.

"If you can succeed with all your efforts, why do you need plans and weapons? Old Bei, take out your gun."

"I'm not very good at using guns." Chen Manchi's confidence became even weaker.

"Give it to me." Third Uncle said.

Lu Linbei and Chen Manchi were stunned at the same time.

The third uncle stretched out his hand and said in an unquestionable tone: "Guan Zhuqian must have come prepared. If you want to defeat her, you must be unexpected. Chen Manchi must have been in her expectation. She is only wary of me." Maybe less. And among the three of us, my shooting skills should be better."

Lu Linbei took out the gun but did not give it to his third uncle immediately.

The third uncle put down his hand and said, "Okay, let me see what unexpected tricks smarter people can come up with."

Lu Linbei handed over the gun, "Guan Zhuqian will not be too wary of Third Uncle."

The third uncle took the gun and said, "It's less than the two of you, that's enough." He did not hide the pistol immediately, but pointed the gun at Lu Linbei seemingly unintentionally.

Lu Linbei stood still and said nothing. Chen Manchi's face changed slightly, "Third uncle, he trusts you so much..."

"'Don't trust anyone, especially so-called friends.' Lu Linbei said this is what I taught him. I don't remember it, but I think it's not wrong."

Chen Manchi's face turned even paler, but Lu Linbei still didn't speak.

After a long ten seconds, the third uncle put away the gun and said, "You pointed it at me longer."

Lu Linbei forced out a smile. At that moment, he really wasn't sure whether his third uncle would shoot.

The third uncle wandered to the foot of a tree, sat down slowly, took a deep breath, and showed an expression of suppressing pain on his face. He quickly returned to normal and closed his eyes, as if he was going to sleep.

Chen Manchi whispered: "Fortunately, you are leaving this industry."

Lu Linbei forced out another smile and pulled Chen Manchi out a short distance away, "You still have to be prepared. No matter what, we have to work hard on our own, for you and for me."

"I see."

There was a slight abnormal sound in the air. The two raised their heads and saw a person flying in the air. His whole body was covered with an exoskeleton and a pair of wings, like an angel wearing a mechanical suit.
