Spy Family

Lu Linbei returned to the small office and continued to classify the information. He quickly forgot about his third uncle and Wang Chenwen. He understood that there was a reason why Wang Chenwen said those things, and there was also a reason why his third uncle sent him to contact him, and he had better Don't delve into it, don't even think about it.

Near noon, someone sent a batch of materials marked "priority", and the conversation between Wang Chenwan and Lu Linbei was among them.

Like most information, this report does not list the name of the person performing the task, replacing it with "our personnel". It also does not indicate the source of the information. It is marked as "claims by reliable sources", which looks like someone Overheard the conversation between Wang Chenwan and a certain person.

The report ends with a reminder in bold: This reliable person has close ties with the famous star, so you need to pay attention when evaluating his remarks.

Lu Linbei thought for a while and classified this report into the military intelligence and strategy category, with priority as first level.

He recalled what Mei Yongge said before leaving his job, and guessed that most likely no one would read the military information he had worked so hard to compile. However, if there was trouble in the future, his current job would save the Emergency Department and his third uncle a lot. Accusation.

Apart from shirking responsibility, does your job have any other meaning?

Lu Linbei suppressed this thought and comforted himself with Mei Wangzhen's saying, "If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government."

After a quick lunch, Lu Linbei drove to Ruzhai.

Ru Hongshang returned to her normal state and made her guests wait for nearly an hour before she appeared. She was wearing a long nightgown, as if she was bare-faced or carefully put on makeup, with a lazy and tired look on her face, which actually made her look younger.

After taking a few pills, Ru Hongshang asked feebly: "Have you seen Meilitao?"

"Well, we just met this morning."

"What did he say?"

"The third uncle said that if Ms. Ru hopes there will be a war, there will be a war. If she doesn't hope, there won't be one, but Ms. Ru must push hard."

"Haha, he is even more cunning than Cui Xuanwen."

"Because Third Uncle is very aware of Ms. Ru's influence." Lu Linbei defended his boss.

"Hmph, influence, my influence is used by these slickers. You can go."

"Ms. Ru, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Ru Hongshang was stunned for a moment, then smiled. She didn't care if there was a listening device in the room, and said, "You want to exchange my information with such a sentence?"

"I said that I could only pass on a message to Ms. Ru, and I did it. Ms. Ru thinks it has value and is very good. If she thinks it has no value, that's up to you."

"I'm going to ask you one more thing. You have to tell me the truth."

"As long as it doesn't violate..."

"Have you been seconded to the General Staff Headquarters?"

"Yes, report for duty tomorrow." Lu Linbei felt there was no need to hide it, and at the same time he understood why Ru Hongshang wanted to inquire about the war news from him.

"Okay, I can give you some information, not because of Mei Litao's useless words, but because you have a promising future. Remember, it's because of you."

"I will remember it." Lu Linbei smiled.

"Don't ask me how I got the information. I can tell you clearly that the Huang family knew about the monster Zhao Didian earlier than everyone else," Ru Hongshang emphasized.

Of course Lu Linbei didn't believe it, but he still looked surprised, "How early are you?"

"When did you hear that name?"

"About a month ago." Lu Linbei actually knew earlier, but at that time Zhao Didian was just a name in Chen Manchi's memory, and there was nothing special about it.

Ru Hongshang lowered her lips and said, "At least half a year ago, maybe even earlier, someone in the Huang family knew about Zhao Didian."

"Which member of the Huang family? What do you know specifically?"

Ru Hongshang yawned and said in a slightly weird tone: "If I don't answer, will you torture me?"

Lu Linbei smiled, bowed slightly, said "goodbye", turned and left, while Ru Hongshang laughed behind him.

Cheng Toushi must have been here, probably upstairs. He had convinced Ru Hongshang that there would be no war, and that even if Guangye Company's stock fell, it would only be temporary and would soon rise back up.

Only money can make Ru Hongshang feel relieved.

Lu Linbei returned to the Emergency Department to sort out the last batch of information and prepare for tomorrow's new mission.

The formal order had been issued, and someone sent it to him shortly after his return. A simple order was written on a piece of paper, including when and where to go tomorrow, who to hand over to, and what to bring.

After finishing the work at hand, it was already after seven o'clock. Lu Linbei immediately called Chen Manchi and learned that she was still helping at the same place yesterday. He drove home and then walked there.

Chen Manchi didn't eat either, so the two of them were busy for a while. After the peak meal period passed, they had some time to rest. The person in charge specially left two convenient meals for them.

When walking home after eating, Chen Manchi recounted her experience of the day, which people were nice and polite, and stayed to help whenever they had free time after eating, and which ones were very arrogant, unwilling to line up, and convenient to get the food. He left as soon as he finished eating, and there was nothing he could do to stop him. Some people even made fun of him.

"We expelled three people and passed their images to other food distribution stations. At least today on this street, they can't get free instant meals." Chen Manchi always behaves reserved and indifferent in front of outsiders. , practice the superficial skills of fortune telling at any time, and once you are alone with Lu Linbei, your true nature will be revealed quickly.

She clenched her fists and showed him how strong she was.

Most of Lu Linbei's work cannot be leaked, but he doesn't have much to say. "Tomorrow I have to report to the new department. Ru Hongshang doesn't seem to be too worried about the stock falling. When you go to have your fortune told tomorrow, maybe..."

"Stop talking." Chen Manchi stopped him, "From now on, no, from the day you went to the Diplomatic Building to take me away, I decided not to take the wrong way."

"If we share a little information, is that considered a rip-off?"

"This is deceiving customers, cheating fate, and interfering with my identification of playing cards and palmistry."

"I understand." Lu Linbei nodded with a smile.

"But if I have news, I can tell you, because you are in this business, and for you, seeking information is the right way."

"You know the difference so clearly."

"uh-huh."

"What news do you have?"

"There are some, I wonder if you are interested."

"I'm very interested just listening to you talk."

Chen Manchi held his arm with both hands, leaned closer, and said with a smile: "Since you speak so nicely, I don't want any other reward. In fact, it's not important news. I heard the person in charge talking to his boss, Saying that the supply of instant meals is insufficient, and then listening to the other party, it seems that there is no need to worry, the number of people eating will soon decrease. Do you think it is useful?"

Lu Linbei thought for a while, "I think this is a fragment of a big news. Unfortunately, the fragments I collected are not enough to see the whole picture, but your piece is very important."

"That's good, you must not tell me how important it is."

"No. Are you full?"

Chen slowly shook his head.

The two of them went to Destiny Street to buy a quick meal and ate it separately.

"What time will you go to work tomorrow?" Chen Manchi asked before going to bed.

"Go to the Emergency Department at nine o'clock and arrive at the new unit at ten o'clock. What's wrong?"

"Then you can't help. Mrs. Hongque and I will go see the client at three o'clock in the afternoon."

"If work ends early, I'll come back to pick you up."

"No need to come back specially..." Chen Manchi was a little tired and yawned and fell asleep.

Lu Linbei smelled the fragrance of her hair, analyzing the pieces of information he had obtained in the past few days in his mind, and it took him a long time to fall asleep.

The next day, Lu Linbei rushed to the Emergency Department before nine o'clock, encrypted and copied the first batch of military intelligence, put it into a specially made box, and then drove to the Military Intelligence Office with the necessary supporting documents.

The staff headquarters is located in the outer suburbs. It is old and has already become cramped. Taking advantage of this reorganization and expansion, many non-direct departments are looking for new office addresses. The Military Intelligence Office is one of them, and they have requisitioned an old building not too far from the headquarters.

Lu Linbei had been here before and witnessed the quarrelsome debates among the military theory school. When he came here for the second time, he was kicked out.

The building was being renovated, and the entrance and exit gates were more strictly checked. Lu Linbei waited for several minutes before being allowed to enter.

He was taken to a room in the basement and met several people he knew.

Colonel Pei Xiao'an, a member of the Military Theory Faction, serves as the deputy director of the Military Intelligence Department, responsible for liaison with the First Bureau and the Two Divisions.

Feng Kuantong, another member of the military theory faction, serves as Pei Xiaoan's assistant. He is also an internal intelligence officer of the Emergency Department and once introduced Lu Linbei to attend the debate.

Lu Linbei had every reason to believe that Feng Kuantong was also secretly working for the Information Department.

The third person is Li Qingyou, a female investigator from the Information Department. She was once responsible for liaison with Lu Linbei. Since the formal cooperation between the two departments, her task has ended, and now she has the same responsibilities as Lu Linbei.

There was no one from the General Intelligence Bureau, so agreeing to secondment manpower from the two departments was the support of the General Bureau.

Lu Linbei arrived ten minutes early and was still the latest. Feng Kuantong was chatting enthusiastically with Li Qingyou. Pei Xiaoan spoke very little and did not look very passionate. If he had not seen his performance in the debate, Lu Linbei would have He treated him like an ordinary bureaucrat.

Pei Xiaoan was still wearing casual clothes. After greeting Lu Linbei, he called all three of them forward and began to speak.

"As you can see, the situation is like this. In the early days of starting a business, the conditions are not very good. Just wait and see, it will get better in the future. There are no more work arrangements here for the time being. The two of you will send the information and hand in the information at around ten o'clock every morning. Give it to me or Feng Kuantong, and then you can leave. You can also stay for a while to get familiar with the environment, but it is best not to leave this room, this is... your office location."

Lu Linbei opened the suitcase. The suitcase was of normal size and the storage device inside was as small as a fingernail.

Pei Xiaoan took the memory and connected it to the microcomputer. Lu Linbei performed triple decryption through password, fingerprint and facial recognition, and then asked the other party to sign on a piece of paper, and the handover was completed.

Li Qingyou did the same thing again.

Both wanted to leave, and Pei Xiaoan had no intention of staying, so he asked Feng Kuantong to send them out.

Not long after driving out of the gate, Lu Linbei received a call from Li Qingyou and parked the car on the side of the road to wait for her. Li Qingyou caught up quickly and the two stood outside chatting for a few words.

"That's it?" Li Qingyou asked.

"What else?" Lu Linbei replied, understanding what she meant.

"To be honest, the gap is too big. I thought... I was overthinking it. How could such a good thing happen to me?"

"We are all the same." Lu Linbei smiled.

"The Military Intelligence Department is so rough, and the General Staff Headquarters is not much better. It seems that this war cannot be fought."

"It seems so."

"I will report this impression to my boss. I hope our impressions are the same."

"Same."

"Since the superiors have reconciled, there is no need for us to confront each other or even undermine each other, right?"

"certainly."

Li Qingyou stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "That's good. I suggest that we meet each other every day after leaving the Military Intelligence Office to communicate and avoid making mistakes. What do you think?"

Lu Linbei thought for a while, then shook her hand and said, "I think it's good."

"The Military Intelligence Department has no signs of preparation for war. This is the conclusion of our observation today. I have nothing to add, do you?"

"No."

The report prepared by Lu Linbei indeed only contained this sentence, but he kept another piece of information in his mind and tried to piece together a larger and more complete picture.
