Spy Family

Before dawn, Lu Linbei returned the ring to Ma Juntu, said "thank you", said goodbye, and went back to his residence to sleep. When he woke up, it was almost noon, and it was already past ten o'clock. Whether the spy program and the ground-to-air spacecraft were Contact was made, but no one informed him and he had no intention of asking.

After washing up and eating some food, Lu Linbei went to Fu's house as promised, wanting to see Miao Ruofeng. Fu Taiyi went downstairs first, invited Lu Linbei to the small reception room, and said directly, without any courtesy, "I was bugged." ."

"Really?" Lu Linbei pretended to know nothing about what happened yesterday.

"The Independence Army has some kind of security committee, have you heard of it?"

"heard about it."

"It's the intelligence agency of the Independence Army?"

"To be precise, the intelligence agency is a department under the Security Council."

"It's not important. Yesterday, a man from the Security Committee came, calling himself Ma Juntu. He not only eavesdropped on my conversations with others, but also used Miao Ruofeng to lure me into saying the wrong thing."

"Um."

"What does 'um' mean?"

"How does Mayor Fu want me to answer?"

"I hope... I mean, can you tell me what's going on? Or find all the listening devices I have here."

"I am friends and allies with the Independence Army, and we cannot do anything to undermine it."

"You are in a group!" Fu Taiyi was furious. "You are jealous of my reputation and want to push me into the pit. You have completely forgotten who saved you from the sea of ​​​​fire. You are ungrateful! Yes, I am going to say these four things. One word——" Fu Taiyi raised his voice, as if to declare the truth, "Ungrateful, all the leaders of the Independence Army are listening, I say you are ungrateful!"

After finishing speaking, Fu Taiyi breathed heavily, as if all the strength in his body had been exhausted. After a long time, he spoke again, his voice became much weaker, "Will I be arrested? Will you at least give me a chance for a public trial?"

"I don't know how the Independent Army will treat Mayor Fu, but I believe they are not ungrateful people."

Fu Taiyi nodded in agreement, "You can still speak. No wonder you, an alien, can gain the trust of the Independence Army, while I am always under suspicion."

Lu Linbei smiled and said, "Mayor Fu, are you willing to listen to my advice?"

Fu Taiyi leaned back and said weakly: "I'm not far from death. You can say whatever you want."

"Fu Taiyi, stop treating yourself like a child."

When he heard his name being called out, Fu Taiyi was startled and stood up slightly, "What did you say?"

"I told you to stop treating yourself like a child and become mature."

"The only immaturity I had was that I helped people like Xie Bojun escape from Paradise City." Fu Taiyi said angrily.

Lu Linbei waited for the other party's enthusiasm to disappear, "Listen, since you are helping, then help until the end. The Independence Army still needs your help."

"Ha, they need me to disappear."

"They need you to be a founder."

"How did they treat me, the 'creator'? You saw with your own eyes that dozens of guests were arrested in my home in front of me, and then you still thought I was not honest enough?"

"Did the Independence Army ever behave violently towards Mayor Fu himself?"

"That's not true, but..."

"If the Independence Army avenges kindness, they will send people to quietly execute Mayor Fu before entering the city, and then pass the blame on King Xing, using Mayor Fu's death to arouse more anger."

Fu Taiyi's face changed slightly.

Lu Linbei continued: "Mayor Fu has been under house arrest. After the Independence Army entered the city, did they arrange soldiers inside and outside the Fu family?"

"No, but there may be spies."

"If anything, it's for protection. Mayor Fu can at least go out as he pleases, right?"

"But they made me lose face!"

"Why can't Mayor Fu understand? The Independence Army has just entered the city and has not yet established its prestige. There are a large number of old forces on both sides. They must be given a warning, but it is impossible to arrest them all, so..."

"So you want to operate on me?"

"I'm just using Mayor Fu's reputation to scare them and make all parties more honest."

"At least notify me in advance."

"Notifying in advance will not have this effect. Mayor Fu of the Independent Army will do this only because he is a true friend."

"A 'real friend' would do this? Do you think I'm a fool?"

Lu Linbei said with a smile: "There are two friends. One stays by Mayor Fu's side every day, making you happy and running around for you. But when the house is on fire, he will be the first to escape and never come back. , the other one contacted me occasionally and didn’t talk much when we met, but when he heard that you were in danger, he rushed back to help immediately. Which one do you think is the true friend?”

"Of course it's the latter one. The former 'friend' is Mao Woxue. I understand that the latter one is not an independent army."

"Mayor Fu, be patient. You will eventually get what you want. Neither King Star nor any other force will give it to you. Only the Independence Army will give it to you."

"But I said a lot of things that I shouldn't have said yesterday." Fu Taiyi was a little vague.

"If a friendship can end with a few words, it is not a true friendship."

"So I still have hope?"

"There is great hope, but if Mayor Fu complains every now and then, even to the enemies of the Independence Army, cracks will appear in even the strongest friendship."

"Are you speaking on behalf of the Independence Army?"

Lu Linbei shook his head, "I only represent myself, but I know the Independence Army very well."

Fu Taiyi thought for a long time, "Okay, I believe you again, stay at home, go out as little as possible, see few people, and don't cause trouble to the independent army."

"The Independence Army will thank you."

Fu Taiyi gave an ambiguous hum, as if he was not satisfied, but when he walked out of the small living room, his footsteps became much easier.

Not long after he left, Miao Ruofeng appeared. As soon as he came in, he asked, "Major Lu is here to see me, right?"

"Sorry, I was delayed for a while."

"He is the master and has priority, but I don't want to sit where he sat. Let's change places."

The Fu family is very big, but Miao Ruofeng would rather choose to stay outdoors.

It was already warm in February in Paradise City, which was especially suitable for walking. The two of them walked around the house until the conversation ended, but they didn't complete the circle.

"I don't want to be your intelligence agent anymore." Miao Ruofeng lowered his head and said.

"good."

Miao Ruofeng turned around and looked a little surprised, "Aren't you angry?"

Lu Linbei smiled and said: "Forcing someone to be an intelligence agent is definitely not my style. The price I pay to supervise you is likely to far exceed the intelligence you bring."

Miao Ruofeng also laughed, "That's not how it is played in the movie."

"Miss Miao, please rest assured that you always have the right to choose."

"That's no problem. If you need it in the future and I'm comfortable with it, I can still provide you with information."

"Thank you."

"I'm just afraid that if I don't have access to it, after so many things, neither King of Kings nor the Independence Army will trust me anymore."

"Building trust requires a process, and Miss Miao will definitely succeed."

"Although we have known each other for a short time, I have already heard of Major Lu's name, and we have experienced many things together since we met, so we can be considered friends, right?"

"Of course, we are friends."

"Then let me ask you, why do you work so hard to please Fu Taiyi? Why do I have to live in his house? Are you hinting at something?"

Lu Linbei smiled and said: "The Independence Army needs Fu Taiyi. Only he can gain the trust of both old and new forces at the same time and unite many factions into a whole."

"Does he have this ability?"

"He doesn't, but his reputation is extremely valuable and can work wonders if used wisely."

"But the user can't be him?"

"cannot."

"So he's a tool. What about me? Another tool?"

Lu Linbei stopped, looked at Miao Ruofeng, and said seriously: "If you ask me sincerely, then I will say, yes, Miss Miao is a tool because you lack self-confidence. Whether it is a tool or not, I can't help but The decision of others depends on you. You are the one who takes advantage of your own advantages. Then you are independent. If you give up your advantages to others and are used by others, then you are a tool. Then you have to be lucky that as a tool, at least Bringing you safety and freedom.”

Miao Ruofeng was not used to hearing such words. His face darkened and he stepped forward. After a few steps, he turned around and smiled again on his face, "Good medicine is bitter, and Major Lu's words are especially bitter, but I understand what you mean. Thanks."

"You're welcome, we are friends."

Miao Ruofeng stopped and stretched out his hand, "Thank you for coming to see me. I hope Major Lu can come here often in the future. Chatting with you has benefited me a lot."

"As long as Miss Miao doesn't find it annoying."

Lu Linbei said goodbye and left, wondering what trouble Miss Miao was going to cause.

On the way, he first contacted Ma Juntu, but didn't get any news, and then contacted Mei Wangzhen, who didn't get a response either, so he went directly to the Propaganda Committee.

The structure of the Independent Army is not yet complete, and there are no clear boundaries between departments. Intelligence work is said to belong to the Security Committee, but other departments can also get involved.

The Propaganda Committee is like this. In order to control online public opinion, the Propaganda Committee has a large team of experts. Qiu Xinyang himself is also a computer expert. Therefore, they were the first to grab the spy program. The department held on tightly and did not transfer it to the Security Committee.

When he was about to arrive at the Publicity Committee, Lu Linbei received a call from Su Yuxin.

"Major Lu, is your 'disappearance' over?"

"Well, it's over."

"Did it work?"

"not yet."

"What a pity. I have made some small progress here. Let's meet and chat."

"Okay, afternoon... four o'clock?"

"Okay." Su Yuxin knew where to meet and ended the call.

The Publicity Committee is always one of the busiest departments. When Lu Linbei walked to the basement, he saw many people carrying rolls of slogans out.

Qiu Xinyang was sitting in the office, sweating. Although he was a minister, many things still required him to do it himself.

"We are preparing for the election of the Supreme Council and hope everything goes well."

"Everyone is very enthusiastic." Lu Linbei sat across from him.

"Yes. Major Lu went to visit Fu Taiyi?"

"Well, I think he'll be stable for a few days."

"It would be nice if he could have a little more brains." Qiu Xinyang shook his head with a smile, and then said seriously: "The encrypted file has been sent to the space station, and Uranus will probably use the information inside to conduct a large-scale mission tomorrow. In the event of a laser attack, the Independence Army will also take the opportunity to demonstrate its response capabilities to reassure everyone. Are you interested in visiting, Major Lu?"
