After exhausting myself to death

Admiral Rice was no longer disdainful of Shen Minghuan's innocence, but his tone was still spring breeze, "Shen, I think you can prepare two packages. Use a normal package to deal with the inspection first, and then change it into a protective cover during the chaos on the way. They will not suspect it. Something that has been checked.”

"Ah?" Shen Minghuan was not happy: "Why bother? And what should I do if I am discovered?"

"Please don't worry. Country M will not joke about the safety of you and Professor Floss. I will let Han cover you." General Rice comforted him in a gentlemanly manner, and then asked coldly: "Han, did you hear that?" ?”

"Bring the package with the protective shield. Since Shen lives in Mutian Village, they will definitely leave from Mutian Village. You will guard outside. Remember, your task is to make the scene messy. The messier the better. , create opportunities for Shen, understand?" Admiral Rice gave the order without any fluctuations in his tone.

Han Aimin was silent for a while: "Yes, sir, I understand."

He knew that the people who carried out this mission could not come back. They were already in China's territory, and their purpose was to cause unrest, so they were destined to not even be able to retreat.

What's more, even if he escapes by chance, what use will the spy whose appearance and identity are exposed be of use?

They are enemies of China and abandoned sons of Country M.

As the person in charge, Han Aimin does not have to carry out this task personally. He can wait until the dust settles to pick up Shen Minghuan and Flos, and he can also return home on the grounds of protection.

Han Aimin remembered the instructions given to him by General Rice a long time ago - "at all costs".

He knew at that time that they might be sacrificed. He didn't feel sorry for Chinese chess pieces like Han Aiguo, but there were still a few M people among them, and Han Aiguo couldn't save them all.

In fact, they are both spies of country M who have been buried in China for many years. The friendship between them is actually very indifferent, and there is no lack of fights for credit and slander. Han Aimin was not reluctant to part with him, but he could not help but feel the sadness of a rabbit dying and a fox dying.

Shen Minghuan blinked: "Ah, then I'm relieved. Thank you very much. I'll treat you to dinner when I return to Country M."

They can't go back to country M.

Admiral Rice, Han Aimin, and Shen Minghuan thought at the same time.

Gu Wenjing's face was heavy.

After Fang Peng explained, he lowered his head with guilt: "I'm sorry, Professor Gu, I didn't protect Mr. Shen well."

He promised to be a guard, but he just witnessed and allowed that man to step into the abyss step by step.

Gu Wenjing came to his senses in a daze and forced a smile, "You're right, you did a good job. He... Ming Huan has this kind of temperament."

This thing was so normal, so normal that he was sure that this was something Shen Minghuan could do.

What kind of person is Shen Minghuan?

You see him guarding a ray of moonlight in silence for several years, you see him quietly going through the spring, autumn, winter and summer, you see him walking away to a foreign country alone.

You can see that he is full of talent but still has no ambition, you can see the pain and despair hidden deep in his eyes, you can see the hatred and unwillingness that he holds back...

He has never been weak. He has long been accustomed to being alone among spies, walking a thin and long tightrope on the cliff.

It is not surprising that Shen Minghuan like this would push Fang Peng away from the center of the whirlpool. Gu Wenjing had no doubt that if Fang Peng had not followed him firmly from the beginning, this person would not have even revealed the slightest bit.

Keeping everyone in the dark, he walked through mountains of swords and seas of fire dripping with blood, and then silently returned to the corner to live his "ordinary and ordinary" life.

Zhang Jingchang's eyes were slightly red, half anxious and half angry, "Teacher, what do you think can threaten Mr. Shen?"

It couldn't be something as mundane as money and status. If Shen Minghuan cared about it, he would already be rich and powerful.

It couldn't be a reason to be blackmailed. To be fair, Zhang Jingchang didn't believe that this person had any secrets that couldn't be known.

Zhang Jingchang couldn't figure out why Shen Minghuan, who said "they are not good people" with disgust on his face, would force himself to be at the mercy of these people he hated?

Gu Wenjing still has some sense in his grief. This is also a question he is thinking about. If this matter is not resolved, Shen Minghuan will still be controlled by Country M.

Gu Wenjing's thoughts were diverging uncontrollably. He made random guesses. If it wasn't because of something, would it be because of someone?

Could it be that Shen Minghuan was poisoned and had to take the antidote once every seven days? No, no, he felt that Shen Minghuan would rather die than surrender.

Could it be Jiang Li? What did the uncaught traitor in Kyoto do to Jiang Li and then use it to threaten Shen Minghuan? He didn't think the other party could do this.

Gu Wenjing rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I don't know either."

Zhang Jingchang had a flash of inspiration, walked quickly to the students, squatted down and asked loudly: "Good children, do you know what Teacher Shen cares about and likes the most?"

"How could they know?" Gu Wenjing shook his head helplessly, feeling that Zhang Jingchang was really in a hurry and sought medical treatment. However, as soon as he finished speaking, Song Youcai raised his hand high.

"I know!" Song Youcai seemed to think that raising his hands was too light, and he jumped vigorously on the spot.

Professor Gu and others looked stern, and Zhang Jingchang couldn't wait to ask: "What is it?"

Song Youcai puffed up his chest, confident and sure, "It's the boss!"

He pointed at Yun Gou'er: "The teacher said that the boss is his favorite student."

"What? Song Youcai is talking nonsense again. The teacher said that this is called taking things out of context."

"Hmph, what's so great about Yun Gou'er? The teacher obviously likes me the most!"

"Teacher Shen also likes me. The teacher said Xiaoya is very well-behaved and he likes well-behaved children."

"Okay, you are still determined to seize the position of squad leader. Boss, please show them some color."

Seeing the students making a fuss again, Gu Wenjing and others sighed helplessly.

"You are the loudest in the entire library. I can hear you from the street."

Shen Minghuan opened the door of the small room at some point and was leaning against the wall, watching the students bickering with a half-smile.

Fang Peng walked quickly to his side and looked up and down nervously. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found no injuries, "Mr. Shen, are you okay?"

Shen Minghuan smiled and nodded at him, then looked at Gu Wenjing and said politely: "Professor Gu, please excuse me, these children are very torturous, aren't they?"

"We don't have any." The students shouted dissatisfied.

Song Youcai rolled his eyes and ran to Shen Minghuan, "Teacher, let me tell you, Grandpa Gu just said that you are your teacher's worst student."

Perhaps because he saw Shen Minghuan come back safe and sound, Gu Wenjing was actually amused by Song Youcai's complaint. He laughed and scolded: "You kid..."

He clearly only said that Shen Minghuan was ordinary in the past, so why did he become the worst?

Song Youcai ignored Gu Wenjing and watched Shen Minghuan's reaction expectantly.

Shen Minghuan glanced at the expressions of the students watching the show, tapped Song Youcai's forehead with his finger, and then said casually: "He is right, I am indeed the teacher's worst student."

"How is that possible?" Song Youcai covered his forehead blankly and pursed his lips, still not believing it.

Gu Wenjing didn't expect Shen Minghuan to say that, and suddenly felt a little at a loss, as if he had really said the wrong thing.

How strange, these fifteen words were obviously ordinary, but they really made him feel like his heart was broken.

Is Shen Minghuan also concerned? After years of being hidden among the crowd, it turned out that this person was not so calm.

Gu Wenjing knew that, he knew that this man was a genius that was hard to find in the world, and he would naturally have ambitions to match.

But he didn't know that this person would actually blame his "incompetence" and blame himself for not being able to have the honor of being a teacher. It was obviously not this person's fault, and it was obvious that this person had done a good job...

"Professor Gu, I have something to tell you." Shen Minghuan suddenly spoke.

Song Youcai was still covering his forehead. If Shen Minghuan didn't know that he didn't use any strength, he would have thought he was seriously injured. He groaned and said, "Teacher, do you also want to take a step to talk to Grandpa Gu?"

"We also want to listen. You adults are really weird. What can't you let children know?" Zhao Jun finished speaking seriously and glanced at Song Youcai's forehead with gloating.

Gu Wenjing was planning to patiently reason, but Shen Minghuan was not used to it: "Very free? Have you learned all the knowledge I assigned?"

That's not true. Today I'm just chatting and gossiping.

The children guiltily raised their books to cover their faces.

Gu Wenjing smiled and walked aside first, "Ming Huan, tell me. I just have something to ask you."

Shen Minghuan nodded slightly: "Tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, M country spies will go to Mutian Village. There will be about twenty people. They will have guns, but they will not have weapons of mass destruction."

After all, Shen Minghuan was among them, so they naturally took action.

Unexpectedly, this person would reveal such explosive news as soon as he opened his mouth. Gu Wenjing choked and coughed rapidly. His face turned red and he asked urgently: "How did you know?"

"You can rest assured that the news is true, I can guarantee it." Shen Minghuan said.

Gu Wenjing was stunned for a moment, then coughed again.

While Zhang Jingchang was relieved for him, he also anxiously explained to Shen Minghuan: "It's not that the teacher doesn't believe you, the teacher just... is it not easy for you to learn this news?"

"Huh?" Shen Minghuan smiled and shook his head, "It's easy, they took the initiative to tell me."

Gu Wenjing finally recovered. He hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Ming Huan, how did they threaten you?"

Fang Peng also looked up at him.

Being stared at with eight eyes by four people, Shen Minghuan said honestly: "They can't threaten me."

He guessed that Fang Peng might have misunderstood after hearing the words "Don't you want what's yours?" Shen Minghuan comforted her gently: "It's just a gadget. I've got it back, and it's just for acting. It can't be done for real." ”

No one believed it.

Gu Wenjing looked at the man's deliberately pretending to be relaxed and comfortable, and suddenly felt that they were all a drag. Not only were they unable to help, but they also forced the man to smile and comfort him.

Gu Wenjing thought to himself that his elder was really useless.

Oh, by the way, the most useless one should be Jiang Li!

Spies needed to be guarded, so Gu Wenjing said goodbye.

In fact, there is still plenty of time. They will be fully prepared for what will happen tomorrow afternoon. Gu Wenjing was anxious to return to the base, and more importantly, he wanted to contact Kyoto as soon as possible.

Before parting, Shen Minghuan handed Gu Wenjing a ring.

"To keep you safe." Shen Minghuan said seriously, like a magic stick spreading feudal superstition.

Gu Wenjing was about to reach out and take it when he suddenly saw Fang Peng's strange and complicated eyes. He instinctively retracted his hand: "What is this?"

"The small protective cover can protect against guns, collisions, fires, drowning, and falls within 20 meters." Shen Minghuan felt that his play was over, and this prop was no longer needed, and Gu Wenjing was on the hit list. Clearly more needed.

What's more, he will soon have a finished protective shield. Even if the world is destroyed, he can float in space and be extremely safe.

Seeing that he still didn't answer, Shen Minghuan thought for a while and explained: "It will automatically pop open when it encounters danger. If you need it, can I make another manual opening device?"

Wasn't it because we were rushed last night?

Gu Wenjing took a deep breath and felt that his emotions had been fluctuating greatly today, "No, I can't have it."

"Why?" Xu Shi said too much in the noodle shop just now. Shen Minghuan was a little lazy at this time, and the exaggerated emotions he used to cover up were gone. He even had a few expressions, with an unreal tranquility and mistiness.

Gu Wenjing opened his mouth.

Why? Because this is your thing, because you need it more, because you don’t have to dedicate everything to the country as a matter of course, because you have the right to be selfish and qualified to complain...

There were so many reasons that could be mentioned that Gu Wenjing didn't know which one to mention.

Shen Minghuan's brows were a little tired. He rubbed his forehead and said, "Just keep it. I'll go back and sort out the design drawings and give them to you tomorrow."

Fang Peng couldn't help it anymore: "Mr. Shen, you need to rest."

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Gu Wenjing temporarily pressed the button on the ring and asked with concern.

Shen Minghuan still said calmly: "It's okay."

As if he didn't want to argue any more, he tossed the ring lightly and Xu Yi caught it reflexively.

The corners of Shen Minghuan's mouth raised slightly, "Although Xu Yi can keep it closed, I suggest you wear it yourself."

He waved his hand coolly, turned around and walked in the direction of the students, feeling a little proud of his success.

Gu Wenjing looked at him and felt that Shen Minghuan at this time looked like a wanton twenty-four-year-old young man.

Zhang Jingchang thought to himself that the teacher would probably scold Professor Jiang again after he returned, which was normal. If he hadn't been a junior... he would have symbolically stopped him then.

Fang Peng followed Shen Minghuan and left. After taking two steps, he suddenly turned back.

He ordered: "Xu Yi, scold Jiang Yiwen for me. Don't be merciful and scold him harshly."

Zhang Jingchang nodded secretly, good, there are more targets to symbolically stop... No, Jiang Yiwen and he are peers, he can also scold!

Spies do shady work, and once caught by the state machine, their demise can be declared directly.

The next day, Han Aimin stood far away from the center of the storm. He held a telescope and had just found a place with a wide view and squatted down.

Before he could take a look at the situation, he quickly, wisely and peacefully raised his hands to express surrender.

The cold muzzle of the gun touched his back silently. As a devout believer, Han Aimin still wanted to serve God alive.

"Misunderstanding, I'm just a passerby." Han Aimin smiled coquettishly, "Ah, I recognize you. You are the one from yesterday. Brother, it's me. I'm Shen Minghuan's best friend. Don't you remember me?"

Fang Peng held the gun: "Shut up and be honest. Do you still want to talk to Mr. Shen at this time?"

When he mentioned yesterday, the helpless frustration and self-blame emerged clearly. The more disappointed he was in himself, the more he hated the gangsters who threatened Shen Minghuan.

"Talking? Sir, I don't like hearing what you are saying. If you don't believe me, you can ask Ming Huan." Han Aimin, while playing the role of a simple and honest noodle shop owner, kept thinking about the reason why Chinese soldiers appeared here.

Obviously, they were betrayed and the Chinese soldiers came prepared. Even he was caught. Even if he didn't look at him, he could guess that the situation ahead would be terrible.

But the question is, how were they exposed? Could it be that Han Aiguo is actually an undercover agent of China buried among their spies? It couldn't be Shen Minghuan anyway.

However, at this time, a Shen Minghuan passed by in a high profile.

He was holding a package, which was a trophy collected from the defeated, the "Prince" in the original plan of "Prince for Civet Cat".

No one had any objections to this matter. After they checked that there were no flammable or explosive items in the backpack, they allowed Shen Minghuan to take it away openly. They even wanted to help him carry it and deliver it to their door for free.

Han Aimin's honest expression cracked in an instant. As a spy with good professional skills, he had obviously realized what the problem was and knew that it would be useless to continue acting.

He has always been the only one who deceives people. Han Aimin's face was distorted and he screamed in disbelief: "Shen, didn't you say that country M is engraved on your heart?"

Shen Minghuan, who was passing by, seemed to find this question very interesting, so he stopped and smiled at Han Aimin: "Of course, sir, so I lost my heart, so I threw it away."

Their conversation was in M ​​Mandarin, and the soldiers who came to arrest Han Aimin couldn't quite understand it. But seeing the look on Han Aimin's face, they expected Shen Minghuan to have the upper hand.

Fang Peng pushed him, "Be honest and leave quickly."

Not to mention "shut up".

Han Aimin staggered forward, as if he had suffered a huge unjust injustice, and complained loudly: "Shen, you have completely hurt me. God proves that I will never be happy again, and this is all your fault!"

Shen Minghuan thought for a while, then showed a guilty look, "Then let me tell you another secret."

He walked over and pretended to be mysterious and whispered: "Actually, there is no Flos in the world. There is only one Shen Minghuan from beginning to end."

"Are you kidding me!" Han Aimin's lips trembled, so this person was even pretending to be picky? You just want to torment yourself, but you actually believe it, work hard and be humble?

Han Aimin murmured repeatedly: "Evil and hypocritical Chinese people, you will be punished, and your soul will go to hell..."

Shen Minghuan looked at his painful expression and smiled proudly.

If Han Aimin is the protagonist of the novel, Shen Minghuan must be the villain that readers hate the most. If he insists on revealing the secret, he will probably die from talking too much.

Admiral Rice stayed up all night. He counted the time and stood by the communicator early.

According to the plan, the dust should have settled by now. Regardless of success or failure, Han Aimin should report to him.

Admiral Rice's heart sank slightly, and he had to consider that there might have been an accident that he had not imagined.

At this moment, in the silent room, the communicator suddenly rang rapidly.

Admiral Rice breathed a sigh of relief: "Han..." "Your Excellency, help me, what should I do? What should I do?" The urgent voice was like a soul calling. Although he didn't say anything useful, it sounded very interesting. Bad news.

Admiral Rice was silent for a moment and said gently: "Don't worry, Shen, what happened?"

"They've all been arrested, everyone has been arrested, General, they won't turn me in, right?" Shen Minghuan said "nervously" while fidgeting with the protective shield.

Although the communication equipment of the noodle shop was seized by Fang Peng and his men, it was not difficult for Shen Minghuan to restore it.

"I don't think they will. Shen, please calm down first." Admiral Rice looked irritated and had to be patient to appease him.

Shen Ming happily took a sip of the warm water specially prepared by Yun Gou'er, looked at the completed protective shield like a small chip with satisfaction, and said through gritted teeth: "Damn it, Admiral, it's all your fault for your incompetent subordinates. . Everything went smoothly originally. I made an appointment with them to come back after Professor Floss and I rushed out in the early morning. They insisted on taking credit. "

"Originally, they attracted the attention of the Hua Kingdom when they were fighting and killing outside the village. A lot of them were arrested. I don't know if there are any hateful traitors among them. The remaining people didn't hide well, but they didn't listen to my words. I just want to take credit!”

Shen Minghuan paused, then complained: "General, it's your fault too, look at what bad plan you made."

"It's my fault..." Admiral Rice barely breathed.

Perhaps because the image of incompetence among his subordinates was deeply rooted in people's minds, General Rice felt that it sounded normal for them to take credit.

He suppressed his anger and said calmly: "I'm sorry, Shen, how are you doing now?"

It was a bit troublesome for Han Aimin to be caught. He knew too much. Unfortunately, why didn't he die on the spot?

That's all. The key is that Han Aimin knows the existence of Flos.

"Hua Guo didn't embarrass Professor... and you, right?"

"I'm okay, they haven't suspected me yet." Shen Minghuan sighed: "But Professor Floss is dead."

"What did you say?" Admiral Rice stood up from his chair in shock.

Shen Minghuan took out a pen and paper to write the design document promised to Gu Wenjing, and sighed: "When they came, the protective shield was not ready yet, and Professor Flos took the initiative to expose himself in order to save them. What a tragedy, Admiral, I told Hua The country’s heart is cruel, do you believe it now?”

Shen Minghuan was still chasing after him and asked: "General, Your Excellency, what should I do?"

Admiral Rice hung up the communication without taking a breath.
