Spy Family

In the next few days, Lu Linbei and Chen Manchi were busy setting up the new store. The items ordered online were delivered one after another. The two of them installed it themselves, and the store quickly took shape. Chen Manchi exchanged many old items from the homeless people. Objects are all used at this time to deliberately create a weathered appearance.

"Fortune-telling shops should be old rather than new. The older the better." Chen Manchi is experienced.

"It's a pity that people can't keep old times." Lu Linbei said regretfully.

"I can't, you can."

"Huh?" Lu Linbei had a bad feeling.

Before opening the store, Chen Manchi also "arranged" her husband, dressing him in ancient-style old clothes, an equally ancient wide-brimmed hat, and a pair of pure black sunglasses, covering most of his face. Then he was asked to sit at a small round table by the window. On the table were teapots and cups of unknown age.

"Your job is very simple. Sit here and drink tea as slowly as you can, but don't stop. If a guest comes, no matter what I say, don't interrupt or look over, even if the guest is angry. Even if you mean to take action, don't react, I will have my own way to deal with them."

"Like being deaf and blind?"

Chen slowly smiled and nodded, "You can understand this yourself, but in the eyes of outsiders, you are just an expert."

“What if anyone wants me, the ‘extraordinary expert’, to tell their fortune?”

"Leave all the talking to me."

"I think……"

"What do you think?"

"It seems like a lie."

"Is acting a lie?"

"That's different..."

"Is it a lie for a woman to put on makeup? Is it a lie for a man to wear formal clothes?"

"Of course not..."

"So you don't count. The God of Destiny can't show his face directly and needs a little decoration. When customers walk into the store, they are ready to accept the guidance of fate. Your presence only makes it easier for them to accept."

"You make sense." Lu Linbei hurriedly put on his hat and glasses, but he had a feeling that Chen Manchi seemed to regard him as a toy doll and spent more time decorating him than decorating the store.

Four days later, the fortune-telling shop opened for trial operation. After the two returned from the small station, they sat in the shop from three o'clock in the afternoon to nine o'clock in the evening.

Life was simple, but not easy. No matter how slowly Lu Linbei drank, he would still drink too much water after a few hours. However, in order to maintain the demeanor of an "outside the world", he could not leave in front of the guests to go to the toilet. He had to Wait until no one is around to get up.

There were neither too many nor too few guests, and Chen Manchi became more and more proficient in the art of hospitality. No matter how confused the other party was, she could answer them without revealing anything.

Someone really asked about the "foreign master" at the window, hoping that the old man could tell fortunes. Chen Manchi replied: "He has not told anyone's fortunes in ten years, and he will not tell anyone's fortunes in the future."

If the guest continues to ask questions, she will be "forced" to tell the story piece by piece, saying it is a story, but there is no specific content, it is all hints, allowing the guest to fill in the blanks.

"He violated the rules set by the God of Destiny, hurting others and himself. His heart has been broken and must be carefully guarded. Why do I know this? Why does he stay here? Please forgive me, I must remain Be silent and don't make the same mistakes again..."

Lu Linbei used all his willpower to suppress the urge to laugh in his heart.

"I now admit that fortune telling is also a profession. It seems simple, but it is actually very difficult. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to learn it." On the way home at night, Lu Linbei was full of praise for his wife's performance.

"This is called everyone having their own strengths. I can't do your industry, and you can't do my industry. First of all, you don't believe it at all, which will completely block you out. The more you learn about our skills, On the contrary, it’s even more unlikeable.”

"Haha." Lu Linbei did not deny his disbelief anymore. He speeded up and shuttled through the street lights. His driving skills have improved a lot now. He can move quickly through crowded crowds like Lu Yezhou, and occasionally encounter collisions. If you encounter him, you can follow Lu Yezhou's example and escape.

In the past few days, Mei Wangzhen did not rush him. He occasionally met in the courtyard and still chatted, but did not mention anything about Nong Xingwen. On the other hand, Yang Guanghan did not seem to be in a hurry and did not show up again. He waited patiently for Lu Lin Bei gave a hint.

Lu Linbei was not in a hurry. He devoted himself to playing his new role and became more and more comfortable. When he sat by the window, even he felt that he had experienced many vicissitudes. When he caught a glimpse of the tourists coming and going, his heart was calm, as if he was already alive. Hundreds of years……

His performance was praised by his wife, "You should be an actor, sometimes I don't even recognize you."

Lu Yezhou came here once, but he didn't even recognize Lu Linbei. He walked into the room, glanced around, and asked, "Where's Lao Bei?"

"My mind is wandering." Chen slowly said vaguely.

Lu Yezhou didn't understand and didn't ask any more questions. He pointed at the two girls he brought and said with a smile: "They two particularly want to know their futures. I introduced your situation and they immediately asked you to tell your fortune. "

With outsiders present, Chen Manchi only acted as a fortune teller and did not show any superfluous expression to his friends. He hummed flatly, glanced up at the two girls quickly, lowered his head and continued to play with the cards, "Please sit down and follow the guidance of your heart. It knows you best and knows where to lead you.”

Lu Yezhou's previous renderings, the unusual layout of the room, the vicissitudes of the old man by the window, and the young but mysterious female life master, all mixed together, quickly conquered the two girls, sat down obediently, and told themselves of confusion.

Contrary to Lu Yezhou's expectation, the two girls were not concerned about love the most. One was concerned about her career future, and the other was troubled by her family's health.

Although the answer given by Chen Manchi was not very clear, it was enough to make the two girls feel comfortable. They paid very generously.

When he was about to leave, Lu Yezhou asked in a low voice: "Where did you find such a strange person?"

Chen Manchi replied calmly: "I lived in Zhaowangxing for a while and have many friends."

Lu Yezhou nodded with deep understanding, and then said: "I have many friends, but I will never make friends with someone like this. I think he has a lot of stories. Can you introduce him to me?"

Chen Manchi shook his head gently, "His path to destiny has long been closed, and there is no room for newcomers to join."

"What a pity." Lu Yezhou regretfully left with the two girls.

After the three of them walked away, Chen Manchi came to Lu Linbei, took off his sunglasses, kissed him quickly on the face, and said with a smile: "I didn't even recognize Ye Zi."

"If he knows the truth in the future..."

"Tell him tonight if he is willing to go back." Chen Manchi calmed down, "There is a disadvantage of having you by your side. It always makes me 'lose my power'. I have to control it. Before the business is over, I won’t talk to you anymore.”

Chen Manchi kept his word and spent the rest of the time playing with the cards at the table, looking at each card for a long time, as if he was in a daze or communicating with the invisible god of fate.

Lu Yezhou did not return to his residence at night, so he had no chance to learn the truth.

Only one customer recognized the "mysterious figure" by the window. One day after Lu Yezhou, Mei Wangzhen also came to the store. After entering the room, he first took a look at the stranger by the window, and then took another two steps. The stranger turned into a stranger. A mature person asked in confusion: "Why does Lao Bei pretend to be like this?"

Chen slowly said in surprise: "Can the real sister recognize you?"

"What game are you playing? Of course I can recognize it. From head to toe, there are so many features of Lao Bei. With trained eyes, you can recognize it quickly. Lao Bei, you should change your sitting posture."

Lu Linbei took off his sunglasses and said with a smile, "Ye Zi didn't recognize him."

"His 'training' was all in words. Do you have time? Talk to you two about something."

"Yes." Lu Linbei first went outside to put up the "Closed for Business" sign. After entering the house, he saw Mei Wangzhen and Chen Manchi snickering. When he came in, they immediately put on serious expressions.

"What's so funny?" Lu Linbei suspected that they were laughing at him, but couldn't find any evidence.

"Nothing, just a joke during casual chat." Chen Manchi said seriously, while Mei Wangzhen simply remained silent.

When Lu Linbei sat down, Mei Wangzhen said: "Let's get down to business, the Military Intelligence Office has new arrangements for the two of you. Wait, you have to go online later and order daily beauty products on a website called 'Look at this sample' Makeup project starts tomorrow. Before setting off in the morning, you have to go to the roof to check your mailbox and bring the cosmetic samples sent by the website to the Wanderer Station. If someone says to you, 'I exchanged the sample from seven days ago for this one today. One copy, okay?', you agree and hand over your sample, but you don't have to bring back the other person's sample."

Chen slowly nodded seriously, "Should I expose my demo to the outside?"

"No need." Seeing that Chen Manchi had no more questions, Mei Wangzhen said to Lu Linbei: "The Military Intelligence Department finally remembered that you, the military liaison officer, are there. Starting tomorrow, you and Ye Zi will go to Infinite Light Industry. The branch here, participate in the war preparation operations there, someone from the military will contact you tomorrow."

"yes."

Chen Manchi whispered: "Are we really going to fight?"

"Officials are still making their final diplomatic efforts. At this time, the less likely they are to show any intention of backing down. As for whether a fight will finally break out, I'm not sure."

"I hope we don't have to fight."

Mei Wangzhen suddenly smiled and said, "Sorry, I have to separate you two temporarily. It shouldn't take long."

"Work comes first." Chen smiled slowly and looked at her husband. "He has long been bored. He might as well go out for a few days."

Lu Linbei confirmed that there were no surveillance equipment around and asked, "Has there been any progress in the private matter? I haven't contacted the other party these days."

"It doesn't matter, Yang Guanghan is not important." Mei Wangzhen paused for a moment, and out of caution, he took out the anti-surveillance equipment from his bag, started it and put it back in his bag, "I'm about to get the battle damage report, as for the farmers Xingwen, I got the exact information from other places. He is indeed in Zhaowangxing at the moment, and the task he is performing is related to the dispute between the two major optical companies. It seems that this is Jiazixing's strategy. He does not participate in the war, but instigates other The planets are at war. I've devised a plan that might catch him, or at least disrupt his plans."
