Spy Family

The news that Jiazixing is coming to the small station to recruit fusion people has been circulating for a long time. In the past six months, more and more wanderers have come to the small station after hearing the news, hoping to seize this life-changing opportunity.

Mrs. Hongque came three months ago with all her belongings, including a tent and several boxes of luggage. She is too old, sick and has no money for medical treatment. She sees integration and transformation as her last chance to survive,” the newspaper said. I can live if I am named, but if I can't repay, well, just let me die here. Fortunately, the news says that the old, weak, sick and disabled are given priority. Apart from the disabled, I have three items, so it shouldn't be a big problem. So I have to stay here. , I can’t open a store with you.”

Chen Manchi asked her husband, "Have you heard about this?"

Lu Linbei shook his head, "This is the first time I've heard of it."

"It's not a rumor, is it?" Chen Manchi knew some current news and knew that recruiting fusion people from aliens could never be done secretly, so he didn't really believe it.

Mrs. Hongque suddenly changed into a different person. She had no shame or weakness, only sternness and anger remained, like the last bit of flame bursting out from the charcoal that had been burnt to ashes. "It's true, it's absolutely true. Look at these things on the station." People are all here for this, is everyone being deceived?"

Chen slowly smiled and said, "I was talking nonsense. Madam Hongque, what do you need? Let me give you some money."

Mrs. Hong Que immediately returned to normal, showing a kind smile, as if talking to her young granddaughter, "No need, there is no need for money here, all my things are here, very complete."

Chen Manchi couldn't bear it and was hesitating when Lu Linbei said, "I have an unkind request. Can you tell my fortune?"

Mrs. Hong Que was stunned, "Xiao Man... Oh, you are married. Xiao Man cannot tell fortunes to her husband, but I haven't told fortunes for a long time, and I don't know where I put the cards."

"I'm bringing one with me," Chen Manchi said immediately, already understanding her husband's intention.

"Do you really need a fortune teller?" Mrs. Hong Que looked worried about gains and losses, like a young man who had been secretly practicing a musical instrument for a long time and finally got the chance to show it off in front of his companions. She wanted to make a splash but was afraid of making a joke.

"Oh, I need it so much. I can testify slowly."

Chen slowly took out his playing cards and nodded: "Yes, his current situation is like just arriving in a new city, without a map or guide. There are roads in all directions, but he doesn't know where to go."

"Understood." Mrs. Hong Que waved her hand to Chen Manchi, "I can find my old playing cards. It must be somewhere. No one steals this kind of thing."

There were piles of miscellaneous items inside and outside the tent. Mrs. Hong Que was rummaging through them one by one, muttering in her mouth, as if she was trying to remember what the uses of these things were.

Chen slowly smiled at her husband and expressed her gratitude.

Mrs. Red Magpie finally found the worn cards and looked through them one by one. She muttered faster and her face flushed with excitement, as if this deck of cards was a stack of lottery tickets, carrying a huge value that she had never thought of before.

"I am good at many kinds of fortune-telling, but today I just want to use playing cards to predict your destiny, because it is the first fortune-telling I learned. This deck of playing cards has been with me for decades, and I have the most confidence in it."

"Thanks."

Mrs. Hongque motioned for him to sit down. The battery box was too small, so Lu Linbei sat quite cramped.

The old woman stared at him for a while, and her gaze gradually became steady and deep. She was still old, with messy white hair, and wrinkles full of sorrow, but her eyes were as penetrating as gems.

Mrs. Hongque first asked Lu Linbei to cut the cards, and then shuffled the cards skillfully on her knees. After a few times, she twisted the cards into a fan shape with both hands. "There is no need to be demanding about the process, keep everything simple."

"I like simplicity." Lu Linbei pulled out three playing cards one after another. There was no place to put them, and he handed them to Chen Manchi next to him.

Chen Manchi held the cards with both hands and looked into the distance without peeking.

Mrs. Hong Que closed her cards, closed her eyes slightly, and began to mutter again. Lu Linbei remembered that she had not had this habit before. It seemed to be some kind of quirk newly developed by the old woman, or it might be a manifestation of disease.

Mrs. Hong Que asked for three cards from Chen Manchi, turned them over one by one, and gave a long hum each time, and finally began to interpret: "Yes, your destiny is extremely confusing, and you are different from many people." Their fates are entangled, you..."

There was no door to the tent. Mrs. Hong Que and Lu Linbei were sitting at the door. Chen Manchi stood outside, looking around, saying nothing about the fortune-telling process of his colleagues, and not even intending to listen.

Therefore, she was the first to see the commotion in the distance, and found that the commotion was quickly spreading here, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Lu Linbei always focused part of his mind on his wife, so he also noticed something unusual. He immediately stood up, made a quick judgment, and asked Mrs. Hong Que, "Do people come here often to cause trouble?"

Mrs. Hong Que was still in fortune-telling mode, sitting where she was, looking blankly into the distance, "It's making trouble... I've only been here three months, and I'm not very familiar with the customs here."

Chen Manchi said: "It's probably the teenagers from outside who came to steal things. They often come to steal batteries, and when they are discovered, they rob openly."

Mrs. Hong Que's expression changed, and she hurriedly hid a few old batteries in the pile of items, "Without batteries, life would be even more difficult."

Lu Linbei felt that it was not like an ordinary gang robbery because the scale was much larger, so he said: "Let's avoid it first."

The two of them helped Mrs. Hongque together.

"But all my things are here. If no one is watching..."

"We can get it back." Lu Linbei said firmly.

Mrs. Hong Que is very light, Lu Linbei can easily lift her up, not to mention Chen Manchi, who is now strong enough to carry the old woman and run away.

Even so, Mrs. Hongque still grabbed several bags and was reluctant to throw them away.

The three people left in time. Within a few minutes, the commotion had spread to the location where they were just now. More and more people were involved, either running around like headless flies or hiding in tents until The tent was knocked down by the crowd, and more people were beaten inexplicably and then fought back inexplicably.

The homeless people still adhere to their inherent indifference, and few of them give way in advance. As long as the riots have not affected them, most people are still busy with their own affairs, eating, dazing, and sorting out their scattered belongings...

If Lu Linbei and Chen Manchi were not present, Mrs. Hong Que would stay in the tent like these people.

The three of them hurriedly left the camp, leaving the commotion behind, and went up to an abandoned bridge to rest for a while. Although they received help, Mrs. Red Magpie was still out of breath from exhaustion and could no longer walk.

Chen Manchi took care of Mrs. Hongque. Lu Linbei looked inside the small station and found that the commotion had spread to more than 70% of the area. Many people were pushing each other. Several tents were set alight and black smoke rose. But overall , the situation is not as serious as imagined.

Lu Linbei used his ID chip to call the police. First there was the sound of the machine. After several selections and confirmations, a lazy voice finally said: "Paradise City Police Department, is something okay?"

"There was a riot at Drifter Station, and many people were fighting."

"Oh, which station?"

"In... the southwest of the city, the largest one."

"Okay, got it."

"Please send someone here immediately, we need a lot of police force."

The other person was silent for a while, and then said: "Are you a tourist?"

"Yes." Lu Linbei has not received any formal job yet, so he always considers himself a tourist.

"Then go to the beach and have fun. Don't go to that kind of place, and don't mind your own business. Please don't waste Paradise City's tense police force. We have more important things to deal with."

Before Lu Linbei could speak again, the other party had ended the call.

Lu Linbei was stunned for a while and said to the other two people: "The police don't care."

Mrs. Hong Que recovered slightly and said with a smile: "People here never pay taxes and rarely even buy items. Paradise City is unprofitable. Of course the police will not come. They want to protect those more valuable people."

"So no one cares about it at all?" Lu Linbei was shocked.

"'Unprofitable' is our biggest protection. If the police don't come, real gangs rarely come. Xiaoman is right. It's probably those teenagers who come to make trouble again. They grab a few batteries and shake their fists a few times. I feel that I am the master of this world, and they will leave soon." Mrs. Hong Que became more and more like a normal old woman, thinking clearly and speaking in an organized manner.

Lu Linbei still felt that it was not like an ordinary riot.

Chen slowly said: "Mrs. Hongque, come with us, it's not safe here."

Mrs. Hong Que shook her head firmly, "Thank you for your kindness. I can't leave. People from Jiazixing will come at any time. I want to stay. The turmoil will eventually end."

Chen slowly looked at her husband helplessly.

Lu Linbei said: "Wait a little longer. If the riot ends, we will send her back. If the riot continues to end, we will find a way."

"You two are so kind-hearted. I...I haven't finished my words just yet."

"Don't worry, you rest first. I'll go over there and be back soon."

Chen Manchi followed her husband's gaze and saw a car parked on the side of the road. Three men were standing outside the car, observing the situation at the small station.

Mrs. Hongque seemed to have no big problem. Chen Manchi whispered: "You rest here, I will take care of Lao Bei."

Mrs. Hongque said in surprise: "Xiaoman, you are a girl, you will only become a burden to him..."

"I'm different from before." Chen slowly smiled, leaving Mrs. Hongque behind and quickly chasing after Lu Linbei.

Mrs. Hongque stared blankly at Chen Manchi's back, wondering what was different about her.

Three men had already spotted Lu Linbei, and one of them, who looked like a bodyguard, came towards him, stretched out his hand to stop the visitor, and whispered in a commanding tone: "Go further away."

Lu Linbei stopped, and Chen Manchi had already chased him up, stood beside him, and replied: "This is a road, it does not belong to anyone."

The other party was tall and strong, almost equal to the combined weight of the couple. He sneered and still spoke to Lu Linbei, "Take care of your woman, don't let her get you into trouble."

Chen Manchi was about to reply when Lu Linbei stopped her and said, "I know your boss."

"Huh? My boss doesn't know you." The bodyguard said coldly.

"Please tell Yang Guanghan that my surname is Lu and my name is Lu Linbei. He will remember me."

Hearing the other party say the boss's name directly, the bodyguard's expression changed. He didn't dare to say any harsh words and walked away suspiciously, "You stay here."

"Yang Guanghan, I seem to have heard you mention this name before." Chen said slowly.

"Well, there is an organization called the 'Warring States Alliance', Yang Guanghan is the leader, and he once planned to kidnap me and Cui Zhuning on Jiazi Planet."

"Oh." Chen slowly prepared for a fight. She had never made a move since receiving the transformation.
