Spy Family

If the "Destiny" plan was to lure Mei Qianzhong into taking the bait, it could be described as very successful.

The four of them sat around the table and analyzed for several hours, finding a lot of doubtful aspects:

First of all, Mei Qianzhong's internal intelligence officer once changed his story and began to claim that "Destiny" was the revenge plan of Future Whip. Soon after, he said that it was the news leaked by First Light Industry Group, which was too coincidental.

Secondly, Chen Manchi claimed to be Guan Zhuqian's subordinate, but Guan Zhuqian never showed up from the beginning to the end. Everything was relayed by the female fortune teller.

Again, Chen Manchi asked four people to go to the store together. Although he did not mention Qianzhong's name, the more he downplayed it, the more he deliberately concealed the important point.

…

Similar evidence could continue to be listed. Lu Yezhou almost lost confidence, and Mei Wangzhen was a little hesitant. He suggested formulating a backup plan, but without the emergency response department as backup, the four of them could not think of any means to limit the possible trap.

Mei Qianzhong is the core character, so he did not give an immediate conclusion and needs to think about it for a while.

During the whole process, Lu Linbei spoke the least, because he knew very well that his position was actually questionable, but the three partners just didn't point it out in person.

In the next three days, Lu Linbei went to the store twice every day, once in the morning and once in the evening.

Mei Wangzhen helped him buy a few pieces of clothing, with various combinations, and they were never the same. Mei Qianzhong was responsible for making suggestions. Today he would buy a bouquet of flowers, and tomorrow he would send a box of beautifully packaged snacks. It would not be the same again. Lu Yezhou was in charge of running errands. Buy all kinds of things.

Lu Linbei felt like he was being sold, and asked, "Is it necessary?"

"It's so necessary." Mei Qianzhong's expression was hard to figure out. He couldn't tell whether he was serious or just a prank when he was bored, but he could always tell the truth. "The other party asked you to do this to make your neighbors happy." I have a deep impression on you and believe that you are really a suitor. When we go to meet together, you will not be particularly noticeable. Even if it is just for fun, you must be sincere and you cannot let others treat you as if you are empty-handed. Delivery boy?"

Mei Wangzhen was particularly concerned about it. Every time he chose a match, he would try it out seven or eight times. "Lao Qian is right, you not only have to make your neighbors believe it, but you also have to believe it yourself. Both Lao Qian and Ye Zi said that the female fortune teller is a Beauty, what are you dissatisfied with?"

"I'm afraid that when I die in her hands in the future, I won't be able to think about it."

"Haha, remember this joke and tell it to the female fortune teller. It will definitely have an effect."

Lu Linbei was stunned because he was not kidding. It was not yet determined whether the other party was friend or foe. All four of them might fall into a trap, but he admired the Mei brothers and sisters for being able to talk and laugh freely even in this situation.

During the day, Lu Yezhou acted like he didn't care at all, but at night, he tossed and turned on the inflatable mattress, raising the same worries several times every day: "Old Bei, it's unjust for us to die in this matter. We are completely accompanying each other to death." ."

Lu Linbei always comforted him with the same words: "This is a choice, either you are in danger now but the future is bright, or you give up taking risks and take a stable road with an unknown future."

"Is the future really bright?"

"What do you think?"

Lu Yezhou began to weigh things up with difficulty. He could talk for half an hour, but Lu Linbei fell asleep in less than five minutes.

Whether as a spy or a pursuer, Chen Manchi's performance was impeccable. He was always lukewarm. He didn't say hello when Lu Linbei came in. He accepted the gift, said thank you, and then did whatever he had to do. Well, on the contrary, Ms. Hong Que, the old fortune teller, was extremely enthusiastic. She often talked to visitors and invited them into the inner room to sit for a while.

The inner room is a corridor connecting two small bedrooms and bathroom.

The old fortune teller especially wanted to promote this love affair. He made a cup of strong tea, said all kinds of good things about Chen Manchi, showed Lu Linbei's palm every time, and then swore that the young couple would be happy throughout their lives.

Lu Linbei just couldn't say the name "Ms. Hongque" and always addressed her with "you". He felt like sitting on pins and needles in front of her, but he couldn't just leave.

Chen Manchi never agreed to go out for dinner again.

Four days finally passed, and Chen Changchi didn't say anything. Lu Linbei just treated it as the plan. That night, the four of them had a fierce argument.

Mei Wangzhen and Lu Yezhou insisted on having a record.

"Spies don't believe in coincidences, and there are too many coincidences in this matter." Mei Wangzhen said, and Lu Yezhou helped, "Of course the emergency department can't count on it, but there are still police. I can ask Lin Moshen for help, at least let him lead People are guarding outside. Don't worry, if there is no accident, he will never show up."

Mei Qianzhong, who takes the greatest risk, is not so cautious, "If the other party is really Guan Zhuqian of First Light Industry Group, she will have her own way to detect the abnormality. This is a test, we either completely believe it or not believe it at all, no The middle ground. To pass the test, you have to take risks and bet everything."

"No retreat at all?"

"The old director can leave a way out, and so can Mei Yongge, but we can't." Mei Qianzhong shrugged, "This is not a question of whether you believe it or not, it is a choice of whether you dare or not."

Mei Wangzhen frowned, "You said I'm timid?"

Mei Qianzhong smiled and said: "Of course not. What I mean is that with our current status, we don't have much choice. We can only think about the problem from the other party's perspective. We don't trust the female fortune teller. The female fortune teller has no regard for us." There may be more distrust, after all, it was the three of us who came to visit us. In her opinion, it is a huge coincidence."

Mei Wangzhen looked at Lu Linbei and said, "Tell me."

"The whole thing was my idea, so I have nothing to say."

"Don't care whose idea this is, from a purely espionage standpoint, do you think the female fortune teller is trustworthy?"

Lu Linbei thought for a long time, "It's credible. The only problem is that she may also be exploited."

Lu Yezhou interrupted: "It's the same as not saying anything."

Lu Linbei then changed his statement, "I am on the side of the con man. We really don't have much choice. Only by passing this level can we have room to move."

Mei Wangzhen sighed, "Okay, that's it, live, live together, die, die together."

Lu Yezhou grunted like a wounded animal, "We won't be tortured, right?"

Mei Qianzhong smiled and said: "What secrets do you have to confess? Don't you think the torturer is tired? Don't worry, you will definitely die a happy death. That's why I need to worry. If the other party is out for revenge, they might torture me. Talk nonsense.”

He went to find some wine and distributed it to everyone, "Old Bei, don't give up drinking. Have a good drink tonight."

The four of them drank a lot of wine and were all a little tipsy in the end. When Mei Wangzhen said goodbye, Mei Qianzhong reminded: "It doesn't matter if Officer Lin is not strict with his mouth. You must be strict with your mouth. Don't let him have the idea of ​​being a hero and saving the beauty." "

"What kind of hero is he? Don't worry, I guarantee that if the four of us are killed tomorrow, it will be silent and no one will know. Lin Moshen will think that I ran away with another man, and then hate me for the rest of his life." Mei Wangzhen blinked. He lowered his eyes and seemed to feel that it was an honor to be hated by others all his life.

Among the four, Lu Linbei drank the least and got up the earliest the next morning, followed by Lu Yezhou.

Mei Qianzhong had a bedroom to himself and was sleeping soundly on the inflatable mattress. Lu Yezhou whispered: "I really admire the old man for being able to sleep. Today's meeting will determine life or death."

Lu Linbei entered the house and woke up Mei Qianzhong.

"Is the time almost up?"

"Um."

Mei Qianzhong walked into the kitchen barefoot, drank a can of wine, and then started to wash up and change clothes. After a few minutes, he looked completely new, and there was no hint of a hangover.

Mei Wangzhen was already here and waiting outside. The four of them took her car to their destination. No one spoke a word along the way.

They arrived at the store on time, neither early nor late.

There was a "Closed" sign on the door of the store, but the door could still be pushed open. Lu Linbei went in first, followed by Mei Qianzhong, then Lu Yezhou, and Mei Wangzhen at the back. He glanced outside a few times when closing the door, but didn't look at it. Something unusual happens.

Chen Manchi walked out quickly, glanced at Lu Linbei, and asked, "Where are the gifts?" It turned out that she was used to receiving them these days.

Lu Linbei took out a small packaging box from his pocket and handed it over, "A small gift."

Chen Manchi took it in his hand without opening it, and said to the other three people: "Thank you for coming. If you don't mind, please go to the back and rest. I want to chat with Mr. Lu alone for a while."

"I'll be there when you call me." Mei Qianzhong smiled and was the first to go to the inner room.

Lu Yezhou hesitated for two seconds before following him.

Mei Wangzhen saw the female fortune teller for the first time. He stared at her for a while and said with a smile: "She is indeed a beauty worthy of her reputation. Lao Bei is the most outstanding boy in our family. I hope you can cherish him."

"Uh-huh." Chen Manchi responded casually.

Mei Wangzhen also walked into the inner room, and Chen slowly said: "Sit down."

Lu Linbei sat down and asked, "Team Leader Guan is in the back?"

"How do I know?" Chen slowly unpacked the package, opened the box, took out the brooch inside, and compared it on his clothes, "Did you pick it yourself?"

Lu Linbei shook his head.

"Why can't you pick out your own gifts?"

"Because... I don't know what you use or what you like."

Chen slowly put the brooch back into the box, "If the negotiation is successful later, you don't have to come again, and you don't have to guess what I like."

Lu Linbei breathed a sigh of relief, "We come here with sincerity, especially Mei Qianzhong, who cares about this cooperation very much."

"You're not cooperating with me, so you don't have to tell me this."

"Feel sorry."

"You didn't offend me, so there's no need to apologize."

Lu Linbei smiled awkwardly, "Where is the 'Ms. Red Magpie'?"

"Going to the beach for vacation."

"Is that really her name?"

"Of course, don't you think it sounds good?"

"It sounds good, but... it doesn't quite go down well."

"Your names are quite strange, Lao Bei and Lao Qian."

"This is a nickname."

"The name is also strange. What does Linbei mean? North of the forest?"

"It doesn't have any meaning. Farmers tend to choose names casually. They just find two words and use them."

"Your surname is Lu and her surname is Mei. How can we become a family?"

"This is a habit of the farm." Lu Linbei talked about the farm and the interstellar orphans. It took a long time to realize that he was falling into a boring situation, "It's just useless things, so don't talk about them."

"No, we can't get involved in the matters above. Why don't you just sit here and talk nonsense and look at each other? Unless you want to tell fortunes, but make it clear first that I have to charge a fee. This is the rule."

"No need, I think I have made a choice. From now on, there will be only one road, and there will be no more 'forks of fate'. Tell me about your experience. You have been to the six major planets, and you must have encountered different situations. Less interesting things.”

"Generally, human beings always look for the same planets to settle on, and then build the same cities and farms. The most special place is in the spaceship."

"I only entered the ship once and it was still hovering."

The two chatted aimlessly, and the only good thing was that they always had something to say. Looking from the window, they looked like an ordinary man and woman whose relationship had not yet been clearly defined.

Nearly two hours later, Mei Qianzhong came out from behind, his expression more serious than ever, "Let's go, we've finished talking."
