Spy Family

Probably because he didn't want to involve the two of them, Mei Wangzhen didn't say what his plan was, sat there for a while, and left.

Lu Linbei continued to accompany Chen Manchi to tell the fortunes of the customers. Because he had something on his mind, he sat there more like an outsider. Two more customers quietly inquired about his origins, but Chen Manchi dealt with them.

The next morning, Chen Manchi was about to ride to the small station alone. Lu Linbei was a little worried. Qian Dingzhu and Wan urged her. She couldn't help but nodded at first, and finally said with a smile: "You seem to have forgotten that I am stronger than you." Big, my movements are faster than yours. I have been protecting you these days, so I should be the one to tell you: stay away from trouble, don’t get into trouble with anyone, be patient when you are bullied, and wait for me to avenge you."

Chen Manchi waved his fist, and the rings on it glowed coldly as if in demonstration.

Chen Manchi set off first. Half an hour later, Lu Linbei received a call from Lu Yezhou and went downstairs to meet him.

After getting into the car, Lu Linbei asked: "How many homes do you have in Paradise City?"

Lu Yezhou drove on the road, "It's hard to say. Sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less. It depends on how many girlfriends I have."

"Do you like this life?"

Lu Yezhou turned around and pointed at his face, "Look at my expression." Then his smiles bloomed one after another, "Is this answer enough?"

Lu Linbei smiled and shook his head.

Lu Yezhou put away his smile and explained seriously: "Work and life are like...the two ends of a see-saw. When one end sinks, the other end will rise. For me, no matter how hard I work, my life will be better." How relaxed."

"The problem is that work and life cannot be completely separated. Be careful not to introduce troubles in life into work..."

"I will never forget the lesson learned by the con man. His mistake was that he failed to distinguish between work and life, and used the same tricks in life towards Guan Zhuqian. I am different. I never waste too much time on a woman. One date If I can succeed, it's the best. If I can't, I will give up after three times at most. Even if I succeed, it will only last three days to a week, never more."

"It is said that you have a regular girlfriend."

"Haha, regular means we meet every two or three months. It happens that they haven't found a new boyfriend, or they have found one but haven't told me. I don't care."

Lu Yezhou drove very fast. Fortunately, there were few pedestrians and not many vehicles in Tiantang City in the morning, so there was no chance for him to cause a car accident.

"When it comes to things in life, Lao Bei, you have to be careful."

"What are you careful about?"

"Hmm... I don't know if I should tell you, but if I don't, I won't be a friend enough. Sister Manchuan recruited her ex-boyfriend into the store."

"Um?"

"Sister Manchuan has a companion in the store, you know, right?"

"I know..." Lu Linbei wanted to take the opportunity to tell the truth, but swallowed the words back.

"He looks very old, maybe 70 or 80 years old. In fact, I guess he is only 40 or 50 years old."

"Why do you say it's your ex-boyfriend?"

"Because their eyes were wrong, especially the old guy, staring at Sister Manchuan through the reflection in the window, thinking that no one knew that something was wrong with Sister Manchuan. This kind of thing is very subtle and cannot be described in detail, but I can I noticed it. Believe me, Lao Bei, my feeling is extremely accurate. Nothing may have happened between them, but the feelings in their hearts are still disconnected. If this continues, something will happen sooner or later. In fact, I can understand that Sister Manchuan was wandering around in her early years. , it is easy to be attracted to mature men who are much older than her..."

"leaf."

"You must never reveal what I said to Sister Manchuan."

"Look at me." Lu Linbei put his left hand on the top of his head, covered his eyes with his right hand, and quickly moved away, "Do you understand?"

"Is this a new code word? Is there something wrong with this car? I just did a comprehensive inspection not long ago..." Lu Yezhou suddenly spit out a curse word, "So you are that old guy!"

Lu Linbei smiled and said: "Your feeling is quite accurate, but your eyesight is a little poor."

"Why didn't you tell me then?"

"You have a guest with you. We wanted to tell you when we get home in the evening, but you haven't come back to stay in the past few days."

"Humph." Lu Yezhou still looked very angry.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault, but I didn't mean to lie to you, but... slowly said that the fortune-telling shop has just opened and needs some special decorations, and I am that decoration."

Lu Yezhou's anger was fleeting, "In terms of decoration alone, I'd give you a nine. The two girls I brought felt that you must be better at fortune telling afterwards."

"This is exactly the effect you want."

"There are so many tricks in the fortune telling business."

"That's right, every sentence we learned from our third uncle, like 'Spies don't believe in coincidences', is a trick in a sense, and it can impress the layman when spoken."

"Lao Bei, you are so infatuated. You protect Sister Manchuan at all times, and you are even willing to 'sacrifice' your own career. You were the same way with Sister Zhen in the past..."

"Two different things."

The two of them did not talk about work and chatted all the way, and soon arrived at the branch of Infinite Light Industry Company in Zhao Wangxing.

This is a seven-story building, square and square, covering an area wider than a zigzag building. It is surrounded by a square and is separated from its nearest neighbor by a street, more than a hundred meters away.

Identity verification begins at the entrance to the square, and is verified again when entering the building.

"It wasn't so strict before." Lu Yezhou explained, "It's no longer possible recently. The situation is getting more and more tense, so we must take precautions."

"Yeah." Lu Linbei still doesn't know what he is going to do. As a military liaison officer, he has no direct contact with the military, and his contact with the Military Intelligence Office is not close.

The two came to a conference room on the fifth floor, waited outside for a few minutes, were invited in, and sat in the arranged seats.

There were many people attending the meeting, nearly fifty people, and the meeting room was packed to the brim. The Military Intelligence Office was treated like a VIP here and sat relatively close to the front.

As soon as Lu Linbei came in, he had a feeling that this meeting was most likely just a formality and would not involve important and confidential content.

The host of the meeting was a deputy general manager of the branch. It took nearly half an hour just to introduce the identities of the participants. Then representatives from different departments took turns to speak. The content was without exception ambiguous, and no one was willing to correct it. They made clear judgments about the prospects of war, but at the same time they complained that their departments received too few resources and were ill-prepared to deal with emergencies.

The Military Intelligence Department did not need to speak. Lu Yezhou and Lu Linbei just listened. After the meeting, they each signed a copy of the meeting minutes, which was regarded as completing the task.

Lu Yezhou was obviously used to such meetings. He did not show any impatience at all. Instead, he listened attentively and greeted and joked with many people after the meeting.

"That's it?" Lu Linbei asked while eating together in the company restaurant at noon.

"Isn't that what it is? You left the Military Intelligence Office too early and basically worked as a regional team leader. Half of your job is to attend various meetings. Sister Zhen, for example, has a higher position and attends more meetings. The two of us Everyone doesn't like this kind of thing, but there is no way, someone has to do this kind of thing. But it will be good once you get used to it. You can take the opportunity to make a lot of friends, maybe one of them will be useful in the future, and occasionally you can get real information. …”

Someone came over, and Lu Yezhou immediately changed his mind and said with a smile: "We are lucky. We are serving steak today. Although it is artificial meat, it is of high quality and is definitely worth a try."

The visitor sat next to Lu Linbei, pointed at the screen, and whispered: "I want to try the steak here too." Then he turned around and smiled: "Hello, Major Lu."

"Hello, Staff Officer Huang." Lu Linbei nodded and replied.

This was a person that both Lu Linbei and Lu Yezhou knew, Huang Pingchu, the staff officer of King Zhai Star Fleet. He was not wearing a military uniform and lacked a lot of majesty. Only his eyebrows were still raised and raised.

Lu Yezhou smiled and said, "When did Staff Huang arrive?"

"Just landed two hours ago." The food was delivered very quickly. Huang Pingchu had just finished ordering when two mechanical arms brought the dinner plate from above. He took a bite of beef, nodded to express satisfaction, and continued: "Next I will be stationed at Infinite Light Industry and continue to cooperate with you two, especially Major Lu. I need to keep in touch with you at all times and may disturb your rest. I apologize in advance."

"Don't be polite, we are all working for the benefit of King Zhai."

"That's right."

The three of them chatted while eating, as relaxed as old friends, except that they did not mention Zhao Wangxing's current situation.

Speaking of the Jingwei, Huang Pingchu scratched his head, "There has been no news, but there is no way to declare victory. It was also troublesome to destroy the Jingwei too completely at that time. The fleet's combat readiness level has been lowered twice, and it can spare some effort to do something Something else.”

In the afternoon, at a much smaller meeting, Lu Linbei heard some relatively confidential news.

A mine representative said emotionally: "The war is imminent. This is not a joke, nor is it a small fight in the past. It is a real war! Around us, First Light has gathered at least five thousand soldiers and a large number of fighting Robot, where are our soldiers and weapons? If this continues, the farm will have to surrender on the first day of the war. I hope the headquarters will give us a clear instruction. If we really want to surrender, at least we will have time to destroy some equipment and documents. And evacuate non-essential staff and family members in advance."

The headquarters is far away in Zhai Wangxing, and the branch office has not received clear instructions, so it can only patiently comfort him.

Huang Pingchu spoke on behalf of the military. He also did not give a specific plan, but promised: "Zhai Wangxing will never sit back and let Infinity Lighting's interests be harmed in the slightest. Please work with peace of mind and don't panic. The military is ready and can respond." The challenges of any situation.”

Lu Linbei came to the impression that the war was a foregone conclusion, and Zhai Wangxing's military was not fully prepared, and it was likely to use abnormal means to compete with Dawangxing.

Yesterday's allies are today's enemies. Not to mention ordinary people like Lu Linbei, even politicians with higher positions cannot clearly see how the situation will develop.

At the end of the meeting, Lu Linbei and Huang Pingchu installed micro-devices for single-line communication on their identity chips. From then on, as long as the unlimited company's network is running normally, the two can always contact each other, and they are fully encrypted, making it difficult for them to be contacted. tapping.

Lu Linbei was going to the fortune-telling shop, and Lu Yezhou drove him there. They talked about the prospects of the war, and they all felt that Zhai Wangxing was at an obvious disadvantage. Unless he came up with another strange move, he would probably be completely defeated.

"I like King Zhao, and I hope it will not completely fall into the hands of King Zhao. In that case, all the privileges we enjoy will be cancelled, and we will have to return to King Zhai in disgrace."

Lu Yezhou drove the car directly to the entrance of the store and said with a smile: "Go in and say hello and I will leave. I won't interfere with your role-playing."

There was a "Closed" sign on the door of the store. Lu Linbei was a little surprised and pushed the door open.

Chen Manchi, who was sitting at the table, stood up immediately, looking panicked, "I think it's best not to talk to you on the phone..."

"What's wrong?" Lu Linbei asked nervously.

"It's Yang Guanghan. He sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that Sister Zhen... may be in danger."
