Spy Family

Chapter 37 Destiny

The three of them were sitting in a small shop drinking drinks. Lu Yezhou stared at Lu Linbei intently, wanting to laugh but not laughing. Mei Qianzhong said bluntly: "Why are you running away? Wangzhen is not here."

"You arranged it." Lu Linbei didn't accept the fortune telling just now and turned around to leave.

"What are the arrangements?" Mei Qianzhong asked in surprise.

"You came to this street, you said you wanted fortune telling, and you chose that store. Do you need more evidence?"

Mei Qianzhong raised his hand and touched his temples, "Is it that obvious? I remember that Zi Zi wanted to see something new. Maybe it was because I said that I wanted to have my fortune told. That shop was also chosen by Zi Zi, right?"

"It's me, it's me." Lu Yezhou immediately admitted that he did remember that he was the one who made the suggestion.

Lu Linbei smiled, "Crooked, don't I understand your tricks? It was you who led Ye Zi to have these thoughts. You were a little anxious, so you asked for fortune telling. If you are more patient, Ye Zi will tell you for you." ."

Lu Yezhou choked on his drink and coughed twice, "Am I that weak? Do I just say whatever others ask me to say? I remember that it was all my idea."

"You are the con man's best assistant." Lu Linbei said.

Lu Yezhou frowned, not sure whether this was a compliment or a mockery.

Mei Qianzhong reached out and patted Lu Yezhou's shoulder twice, and said with a smile: "There are obviously two team members, but only one is willing to cooperate with me. Ye Zi, you are indeed the best assistant. You must always be by my side from now on."

"Of course, I won't leave."

Mei Qianzhong looked at Lu Linbei, stretched out his hand, and said, "And you, Lao Bei, are my partner."

Lu Linbei didn't reach out, "But I'm really tired of being kept in the dark about everything. I know the rules of this business, but there's no need to do it again and again. You did the right thing about the traitor, and I have no complaints. But what does it count this time? Did the Emergency Department contact you alone? Are you planning to make a contribution before telling us the truth? Or is it just out of habit that you feel there is no need to discuss it with us, let alone inform us in advance?"

These words had been suppressed in Lu Linbei's heart for a long time. He said them all at once and felt much relieved.

Without this half-month "interruption", he doesn't know if he would have dared to be so straightforward.

Mei Qianzhong showed a bit of embarrassment, but quickly turned calm. On the other hand, Lu Yezhou lowered his head to drink, and no one dared to look at him.

"In another place, if I confess everything and promise to hide nothing, can we still be partners?"

Lu Linbei held Mei Qianzhong's hand that was stopped in front of him, "Of course."

The three of them left the beverage shop and turned to the street facing the river. There were no bars in this area, and they were all residential buildings. The road followed the direction of the river and curved. They could see the narrow side of the garbage island. It looked small and seemed unable to withstand the towering height. garbage heap.

They found an empty chair on the embankment and sat down, with their backs to the river. Lu Yezhou was a little nervous and stood aside and said, "I'll go look out for you."

"Sit down." Mei Qianzhong ordered, rubbing Lu Yezhou's head and deliberately messing up his hair. "If the secret is leaked afterwards, I can blame it entirely on you."

Lu Yezhou, who had just sat down, stood up again and defended eagerly: "I was a bit talkative and I have learned my lesson. Have I leaked even a single word these days?"

"Haha, just a joke."

Lu Yezhou sat down again and said with a smile: "I'll just say it, but I really won't talk nonsense anymore."

Mei Qianzhong waved his hand, expressing that he didn't want to hear it. He turned to Lu Linbei and said seriously: "I didn't hide it on purpose. I thought this matter had nothing to do with you. I brought you here just as a cover. But I didn't expect that woman would Choose you."

"I didn't expect it either." Lu Yezhou interjected.

Recalling the scene at that time, it seemed like this was indeed the case. Lu Linbei was still relieved and nodded.

"The Emergency Department did not contact me privately. I am still an exile, just like you. What happened half a month ago, and my third uncle hasn't asked me to find the traitor yet. I still command more than a dozen team members, and there are more outside There are many intelligence agents, someone provided me with information - I won’t say who it is, you don’t know it anyway.”

"I don't have to know who it is."

"The news is that someone is looking for revenge on me, and I must pay with my life."

"Yuan Miyu." Lu Linbei said the name.

"who?"

"The girl you brought to the farm."

"Oh, you mean her. Alas, I can't remember her appearance. Ye Zi, do you still remember her?"

Lu Yezhou whined twice, not knowing what it meant. Mei Qianzhong did not ask, but recalled on his own. After a moment, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with her. Old Bei, why do you think of her?"

"I was just guessing."

"You didn't guess correctly this time. You only saw that one thing I did, so you always kept it in your mind. You never thought that I might have offended many people? Is there anyone more serious than Miss Yuan?"

"Sorry, I...please continue."

"This matter is a bit long-term. About three years ago, less than three years ago, two years and ten months ago, I noticed a phenomenon. The secret gathering of the Future Whip became obviously active. It was originally a publicity event. The organization often showed off on the Internet, but said nothing about these gatherings. It was an internal intelligence officer who provided me with the information, and he himself was not qualified to attend the gatherings. I submitted a report, hoping for in-depth investigation, but did not receive any information. Formal response.”

Mei Qianzhong sneered. He had always shown great appreciation in front of the team members. This was the first time he showed his dissatisfaction with his superior. "A deputy director came to talk to me and said that I had gone astray. The emergency department's The main task is to investigate which farm the Guangye Consortium wants to acquire and which farm it intends to sell. This is information that is crucial to the family."

Lu Linbei nodded. Until now, he had not heard the context, but because of this, he believed Mei Qianzhong's narrative even more.

"You two know my temper, but the superiors didn't give me support, so I quietly investigated on my own and asked internal intelligence agents to collect more information, especially who participated in the secret meeting. Maybe I was too anxious and underestimated the whip of the future. I still thought it was an ordinary extremist organization. The intelligence agent committed suicide, at least it seemed to be suicide, leaving an impeccable suicide note. Of course I didn't believe it, so after enduring it for three months, I recruited an internal intelligence agent again. , to get a complete list, as well as evidence that Future Whip secretly manufactured weapons."

Lu Yezhou couldn't help but interjected: "Do they dare to make weapons privately?"

"Strictly speaking, they are a small group of people within the Future Whip. They don't know what they think. They think they need weapons, but they can't tell what they are used for. The police arrested most of the targets according to the list and interrogated them many times. I also I have participated in it several times and I am convinced that what they told is the truth. A group of people who make weapons really don’t think about the use, they just want to see if they can make it.”

Lu Yezhou smiled and said, "Are they too smart or too stupid?"

Mei Qianzhong lowered his lips and said, "It's too clever, because they really made the weapon, and the equipment they used was very crude. Although it had many shortcomings, after experts looked at it, they said it had some merits."

Lu Linbei said: "You just said that most people were caught, does that mean there are fish that slipped through the net?"

"Yes, there are a total of twenty-seven people on the list. Twenty-one were arrested at the time, and five were arrested later. The remaining one could not be found. He seemed to have disappeared suddenly. According to the intelligence officer, This person is not an important person. His main job is to deliver information, but I always remember his name. His name is Nong Xingwen. It may be his real name or a pseudonym. The only thing that can be confirmed is that he is an alien from Zhao Wangxing. He must be an interstellar orphan. The police have his videos and photos, as well as the contents of the chip in his body, but they can't catch him. After half a year, they relaxed and I stopped chasing him."

"Did he die in some corner where no one found him?" Lu Yezhou guessed.

"It's possible, or it may have changed his appearance and identity, just like 'Iron Fist'."

Lu Yezhou slapped his leg, "That female fortune teller is Nong Xingwen pretending to be!"

Mei Qianzhong smiled and pushed him, "What are you thinking about? More than half a month ago, when the third uncle arrived and started assigning tasks, I took the initiative to ask to go to Future Whip. One of the reasons was that I couldn't let go of this matter. This person. Future Whip is also a key target of suspicion of the Emergency Department. 1090 and Engine are actually used to make up the numbers and confuse the enemy. Lao Bei, this is not a deliberate waste of investigators. Facts have proved that you and Wangzhen also found clues."

"I don't care about this." Lu Linbei said.

Mei Qianzhong smiled and nodded, and continued: "Before Third Uncle came, the Emergency Department already had a lot of information and recruited several internal intelligence agents, but the value was not high. However, I learned from other channels that Some people from Future Whip know my identity, hate me very much, and want to kill me for revenge."

"It must be Nong Xingwen!" Lu Yezhou shouted.

"Keep your voice down. It might be him, but I didn't have time to confirm it. The news said that Future Whip planned to use a trick to lure the snake out of its hole, and also said that he would use 'Destiny' to kill me."

"Destiny?" Lu Yezhou didn't understand.

"I don't know what it means. The Future Whip is more cautious than before, and the intelligence agents can only get some incomplete information. I originally wanted to solve this trouble as soon as possible, but I didn't expect something happened to the old director. I thought they would come to the door. , As a result... I didn't intentionally leave you to take bullets, I have the means to protect myself."

Lu Linbei smiled, "Zi Zi and I are homeless and will go to even the most dangerous place, let alone your home?"

Lu Yezhou hurriedly added: "That's right, and it's not like we haven't seen bullets before."

"Yeah. Anyway, I'm tired of waiting at home, so I thought it would be better to take the initiative and be willing to fall into the trap. No matter whether I can respond to the emergency secretary in the future, I don't want to be followed by the tail all the time."

"So you take us to crowded places!" Lu Yezhou suddenly realized.

"I'm the one spending the money." Mei Qianzhong reminded.

"I have no objection. Really, wherever you want to go, I will definitely follow you."

Mei Qianzhong turned his head and looked at the street they walked out of not long ago, "Yesterday, I contacted the intelligence agent. He knew that I had lost power and was unwilling to provide information anymore. I used some means to make him believe that I would soon I can go back to the office. He told me that the investigation has been stricter recently, and the Future Whip is very cautious, so he has not taken any action for a long time. However, 'Destiny' has been found and is hiding on this street. The sign is 'Zhao Wangxing' '."

"Zhao Wangxing's metaphysics is prosperous. I see these three words on the doors of several shops." Lu Yezhou said.

"I just went in to give it a try, but the female fortune teller said something like that, which made Lao Bei react so fiercely." Mei Qianzhong showed his elegant yet unbeatable smile.

"According to what you said, it is possible that she is a member of the Future Whip." Lu Linbei believed Mei Qianzhong's words even more.

"If you've been in Zhaijing for a long time like me, you won't be so sure. The fortune tellers on that street are used to saying some weird things about love, family, health, and money. They basically revolve around these four things. There are many people like you, but not many like you."

Lu Linbei blushed.

"No matter what, this female life master is worthy of investigation." Mei Qianzhong stared at Lu Linbei.

"You mean..." An ominous omen appeared in Lu Linbei's heart.

"You tell me everything I said, don't you do something for me?" Mei Qianzhong pretended to be surprised, "Remember, if she is really a spy, Lao Bei, you must be able to do it this time, remember? You owe me a test."
