Spy Family

Cui Zhuning poured a glass of water and handed it to Lu Linbei. His expression and tone became calmer. It seemed that he was planning to reason, "It's difficult to gain trust between you and me. I understand this. There is no other way. We come from two families that are hostile to each other. From the moment we first met, we were destined to be rivals. So many things happened later, which added to the grievances."

Probably thinking of the past, Cui Zhuning smiled and shook his head, "You and Mei Qianzhong really made me suffer a lot, made a lot of mistakes, and almost killed me."

"Both each other." Lu Linbei took a sip of water, thinking that the con man's life had been "taken" away.

Cui Zhuning put away his smile and said seriously: "No matter how fierce the struggle is, we belong to the same type of people. Even if we cannot respect each other, we can at least understand each other."

"Because we are all investigators."

"And we are farm investigators who have been trained since childhood. We are different from those investigators who were recruited halfway. Do you remember Ding Pullun?"

"Remember, analyst from the Emergency Department."

"He is still working as an analyst and remains in the General Intelligence Bureau. He has not followed the Emergency Department and merged into the Military Intelligence Office. Although he once worked for me and is now a colleague, and we have a good relationship with him, in my heart, I look down on him. He does not care about me at all. If you understand this industry, you are not qualified to be an investigator, let alone an analyst.”

"You shouldn't judge your colleagues behind their backs, especially not in front of me."

"It doesn't matter, because the rules are no longer important. Everyone can buy, and similarly, everyone can sell. Sooner or later, farm investigators will become antiques. Take you, for example, to cooperate with me. This was unimaginable in the past. of."

"I'm not cooperating with anyone, I'm just following my boss's orders."

"There is no difference. There is no such thing as resignation or withdrawal from the farm children. You are the first and probably the last one. In the past, this was unimaginable. Now, some people can accept it, and some people still I think it is a betrayal. I admire Melitao. Although he is an old man, his thoughts are more forward-thinking than some young people. He can accept your withdrawal and the decline of the farm. On the contrary, some young people would rather live in In the past, there were people like this in the Cui family who voluntarily acted as defenders of farm interests, and there were also people in the Mei family.”

Lu Linbei knew what Cui Zhuning wanted to say, so he had no intention and no way to refute, so he just drank water silently.

"Mei Wangzhen is such a young man. You know better than me that you have been together through life and death. How much she paid at that time, and how angry she was when you quit. If you want to get her forgiveness, you have to sacrifice everything." Even one life is not enough. In her eyes, a stain is a stain that will stay with a person for life."

There was no water in the cup, so Lu Linbei took another sip without realizing it. Cui Zhuning stepped forward to take the cup and poured him another cup, "Mei Wangzhen asked you to enter the internal network of the chairman's office, what did she say? Claiming that this was Meili Tao’s order?”

"Yeah." Lu Linbei didn't intend to lie anymore.

"She is lying to you. This is her own idea and has nothing to do with Meili Tao. She sent you into danger, and then pretended to leak the secret unintentionally, making your situation even more dangerous. The chairman originally had some feelings for you. The good impression is all gone now, and not only that, he also has doubts about your loyalty."

"It's a problem."

"It's not just trouble, it's also dangerous. The chairman hasn't made any comments about it yet, but no one can expect him to forget about it or be indifferent to it."

"Where is Mei Wangzhen? The trouble and danger she faces should be greater than mine."

"At this time, do you still care about her situation?"

"Just curious."

"Maybe you still feel that you are sitting on the same ship as Mei Wangzhen, and she will find a way to get the whole ship out of danger. You guessed it right, but you are not on her ship. Mei Wangzhen has been prepared for a long time. Through the first The three parties issued reminders that there is no trace of her. Even if the secret is revealed, she will be in much less trouble than you. She can tell the truth and claim that everything she did was to take revenge on the 'traitors' of the Mei family. No need to argue with me , I have the same point of view as Mei Litao, that the children of the farm should also have the right to quit, but it is useless. Mei Wang’s true idea will be recognized by many people in the family circle. So, in the end, Mei Wang The real crime may just be that the methods are a bit outrageous, and it is probably enough to ask your parents to teach you a lesson and change your position. But you are different. You will suffer double condemnation and failure in law and morality, and there is no one behind you who can take responsibility for you. Parents.”

Lu Linbei said nothing, holding a glass filled with water in both hands without taking a sip.

"It's not fair." Cui Zhuning continued, his voice becoming more and more steady, like a salesman reciting sets of product data, empty, but convincingly magical, "I am a vested interest. If I mess with Trouble, as long as you don't go too far, the treatment will be the same as that of Wang Zhen, but I still have to say, this is unfair. But this is the real world. Although the family is declining, it will not be replaced for a while. When you belong to the farm When you were young, there was a difference between the two surnames Mei and Lu. When you quit, the difference did not disappear, but became even greater. Lu Linbei, there are some things you can't avoid if you want to. Look at Lu Yezhou, he accepts the internal affairs of the family Inequality, so as you move up the ladder, you have been left behind.”

"What exactly do you want me to do?" Lu Linbei spoke again, feeling a little lost.

Cui Zhuning noticed this immediately, "Do you think I want to persuade you to take revenge on Mei and forget your truth? No, no, I won't do that. The Cui and Mei families finally achieved peace. Even if something more serious than this happens, I will I won’t launch revenge. Moreover, I don’t believe you will hate Meizhen. You are a standard farm boy. You have long been accustomed to using and betraying. You will not be impulsive because of this. What’s more, that is Meizhen.”

Cui Zhuning showed a smile, but quickly stopped, "You need to protect yourself."

"Thank you for your concern."

"I am 'concerned' about your safety, not because I admire you or sympathize with you, but just because we are performing the same mission. We are truly in the same boat and need to work together."

"It sounds like Director Cui has already figured out how to 'protect myself' for me."

"For both of us."

"I don't think Director Choi is in danger."

"There is no danger, but there is trouble. It was originally my idea to recruit you into this task, and I facilitated it. To be honest, many people in the General Administration disagreed, with the exception of Deputy Director Tang. He is not a farm person. I don’t know much about the feud between the Cui and Mei families. For this task, I put in too much energy and made too many promises. If I can’t succeed or give up halfway, it will be a big trouble for me. Thanks to the Mei family. , my several disastrous defeats left a deep impression on the superiors. If I do it again, I will probably have to go back to the farm to retire. I am not yet forty years old, and I am not Meili Tao. I cannot bear the loneliness of more than ten years. , and times have changed, no one knows whether the farm will be able to send me out again in more than ten years."

"I know what you mean. What are your plans?"

Cui Zhuning still felt that the time was not mature enough. He had to be extremely careful and use all his skills towards Lu Linbei, "Have you seen these two rings?"

"Um."

"This one has a forced exit program, you know it."

"Know."

"Where's this one?"

"No one told me what it was for."

"Have you investigated?"

Lu Linbei was silent for a while, "I have investigated it, but there is no result."

"It is a detonator. With a twist and a press, it can detonate trace amounts of explosives in your body. The original intention is to completely destroy those thin film chips and not leave anything worth studying for the enemy. However, during the design, The impact of the explosion on the carrier was not considered."

Lu Linbei was shocked. He trusted Cui Zhuning's words more, but also became less vigilant. "Dr. Zeng and the others only care about chips and programs."

"It's normal. They are at the forefront of the computer field. They have too many professional problems to solve and have no spare time to take into account the safety of the 'carrier'. Do you remember Dr. Zeng said that they have been working hard to cultivate the same human-computer integration capabilities as you? "

"I remember, but they all failed."

"The project failed. What about the experimental subjects who were trained? Who cares about their fate?" Cui Zhuning put down his arms, "We must complete this task, and complete it successfully."

"I understand Director Cui's good intentions, but this task doesn't seem to mean much to me anymore. No matter how successfully it is completed, I will not be forgiven by the chairman."

"To be precise, I will not be forgiven by Huang Tongke."

Lu Linbei was slightly startled. With Cui Zhuning's identity and status, calling the chairman by his name, even in private, was extremely imprudent.

"Chairman is a position and does not belong to any one person, right?"

Lu Linbei was stunned again.

Cui Zhuning carefully took the undrinkable glass of water from Lu Linbei's hand and placed it on the table next to him, "What do you think our mission is?"

"Invade Jiazixing's network and leave a backdoor. Dr. Zeng's program will handle the rest. I am only responsible for the intrusion."

"Dr. Zeng's program will find a highly confidential report from the Jiazixing network, which contains the development plan of Jiazixing and Mingwangxing for the next ten years."

"Does this also need to be kept secret?"

"Because this is not a public plan, the content is more detailed and complete. It includes the progress of each sub-plan, as well as the source and allocation of funds. In short, it can basically explain the real goals of Jiazixing and Mingwangxing within ten years. During the negotiations , this is their bottom line, it is the highest level of confidentiality."

"Thank you for telling me this, but..."

"But this report will not help solve your troubles, and it is not what I want. I hope you can get another document, belonging to the Inter-Interstellar Company Coordination Office under the Jiazi Star Interstellar Affairs Committee."

"What a long name."

"It is also a spy organization that specializes in buying intelligence agents from major planets. One of the documents records the transfer of benefits from Jiazi Planet to all important intelligence agents, including our chairman."

Lu Linbei was completely stunned, and Cui Zhuning smiled slightly, "Yes, this record is enough to destroy the entire Huang family, and your troubles will naturally disappear."
