Spy Family

Dong Tianchai dedicated his entire life to science and was no longer adaptable to ordinary life. After announcing his withdrawal from all research, he only had three hours of idle time when he felt uneasy, as if the oxygen around him was about to run out.

He reluctantly slept for a while, but he couldn't fall asleep even though he was very sleepy. He always felt flustered and confused. He thought about all his experiences from childhood to adulthood. He debated with many acquaintances in his dream, but none of them was completely successful.

After enduring it for three days, he decided he couldn't bear it anymore.

"I want to leave here, I want to go home. I heard that Paradise City is occupied by the independent army and there is no war anymore." Dong Tianchai came to Lu Linbei and made a request.

Lu Linbei was dealing with some difficult documents and didn't want to leave them alone, but how to reply was quite a test of his judgment.

"Does Dr. Dong know who founded the Independence Army?" Lu Linbei hoped to convince Dong Tianchai as soon as possible.

"I know, those people like Qiu Xinyang, and some awakened mercenaries, they no longer work for the aliens, but stand up to defend their own planet, our planet." Dong Tianchai was a little excited.

“What about the ‘Peace Front’?”

"I've never heard of it. I haven't been online much these days. Are you a supporter of the Independence Army?"

"It is an organization established by First Light Industry in the name of King Star, gathering all forces on King Zhao Star, with the purpose of wiping out the Independence Army as soon as possible and restoring peace. They formed an army with more than ten times the strength of the Independence Army. A siege would soon be launched, and instead of ending the war, Paradise City became even more unsafe than before.”

Dong Tianchai hesitated for a moment and said firmly: "Then I have to go home. I didn't catch up with the uprising of the Independence Army. At least I have to fight with them."

"You are a scientist."

"I am also from King Zhao. I rarely mention my identity because there is no real King Zhao. For three hundred years, we have been divided. Many attempts to unify have failed. Gradually, we We all take it for granted and believe that this is the fate of King Zhao, or that the nature of King Zhao people is not suitable for a unified planet. However, we still have to keep trying, even if we still fail, we cannot give up."

Lu Linbei looked at Dong Timchai in surprise. The two had had some contact. In his impression, Dong Timchai was not interested in politics. In terms of leanings, he was also a universal pacifist.

"You promised to send me home, you don't have to, but don't stop me." Dong Tianchai stared at Lu Linbei, his eyes seemed to burst with fire.

"I will send Dr. Dong home. Tonight, I will make arrangements after I get off work. Please go back to your room first. Don't mention this matter to anyone, and don't pack anything. In short, don't let anyone see it. You mean to leave. Dr. Dong didn't mention this to those assistants, did he?"

"We haven't seen each other in the past few days."

"Very good, wait for my news."

"About what time?"

"About ten o'clock at night."

Dong Tianchai smiled and said, "I believe you."

Dong Tianchai left, and Lu Linbei was in trouble. Compared with this matter, the few documents to be processed were not too embarrassing. He quickly wrote a reply, sent it, and then started to think of a solution.

Huang Pingchu himself did not attach great importance to Dong Tianchai, but according to the records of the Military Intelligence Office, Dong Tianchai was a high-value target and could not be let go casually.

Lu Linbei added a note to Dong Tianchai's information in the internal system: The intelligence agent is very likely to provide top-secret information.

Then he applied for a manned aircraft for himself to travel from the stronghold to Paradise City. This was a necessary means of transportation.

In the following time, he went to the restaurant to eat as usual, greeted Dong Tianchai, and then went to the entertainment lounge to chat with Lu Yezhou and other investigators. After nine o'clock, he went back to his room, took a shower, and changed clothes. Go out again.

Although it was not late at all and was five minutes early, Dong Tianchai still looked anxious and asked as soon as he opened the door: "Is it okay?"

Lu Linbei smiled and said, "If you have any problems, please ask Dr. Dong to let me solve them."

"Well, this is your territory."

The two left the cave and headed for the hidden airport. Everything went smoothly without any accidents. When Lu Linbei took off the plane, Dong Tianchai let out a sigh of relief, "I thought I would be in danger."

"Danger?"

"Just like in the movie, every step and every door you pass will be doubted and questioned, and then the protagonist will use various methods to resolve it."

"Dr. Dong also watches movies?"

"Occasionally."

"In our industry, suspicion is a sin. Basically, as long as you are suspected, you will definitely not be able to escape. The lightest punishment is to be kicked out of the circle. No one will waste energy on testing you over and over again." Lu Linbei thought of his third uncle, and they We have reached the last step and almost take action.

Dong Tianchai thought for a while, "Actually, it's similar in the scientific research circle, but it's not as serious as yours. After being doubted, you can refute and prove it, which can actually promote the development of thinking."

Dong Tianchai was about to give a long speech again, but Lu Linbei interrupted him, "Although it seems to be going well, Dr. Dong needs to understand that in order to send you back to Paradise City, I took a huge risk, and I will definitely be held accountable afterwards. ."

"Is it that serious?"

If faced with ordinary people, Lu Linbei would not say anything, as long as both parties knew each other well, but Dong Tianchai was not good at it. He would regard the polite words as the truth, thinking it was just a simple farewell.

Lu Linbei needs Dong Tianchai's "thank you", so he must be more straightforward.

"It's very serious. Dr. Dong is a famous scientific researcher. When Zhai Wangxing's fleet retreated, he listed you as an important target and hoped to take you away with him. Because he left too hastily, he didn't have time, but the order did not change, so I have the responsibility. Leaving you in the mines.”

Dong Tianchai looked slightly uneasy, "I'm sorry, even if you take on greater responsibilities, I can't stay with you because it has nothing to do with personal friendship."

"Dr. Dong, there is no need to apologize. I just hope you can remember everything I have done now."

"Ha, don't worry, my memory is very good. I won't forget a word of what we said tonight."

Dong Tianchai didn't seem to understand the true meaning of "remembering everything", but Lu Linbei could only do this, and he couldn't let the other party establish a written record.

The plane moved quickly under the night sky, keeping as low an altitude as possible and using the mountains to hide its whereabouts. An hour later, it landed slowly.

"This is not Paradise City, it seems very far away." Dong Tianchai looked at the surrounding trees in surprise.

"Airplanes can't enter the city. We have to take a two-wheeler instead, and we have to find someone to vouch for Dr. Dong, otherwise we won't be able to pass those checkpoints."

"One of my colleagues might be able to help."

"I have a candidate, but I need to confirm one thing first. Dr. Dong really wants to join the Independence Army?"

Dong Tianchai had said firmly before, but now he was a little hesitant, "I have to observe first. If the Independence Army is really Zhao Wangxing's army instead of using slogans to seize territory, I will definitely join. If...even if they are only half sincere, I will Will join."

"Then I will hand Dr. Dong over to the Independence Army and ask them to send someone to pick you up."

"Okay, I was just trying to get a closer look at who they are."

There was no interruption after the public network was restored. Lu Linbei contacted Qiu Xinyang and briefly explained the situation. He quickly received a reply asking Lu Linbei to send the person to a certain checkpoint.

Lu Linbei remembered that road, took Dong Tianchai with him, and rode on the road.

When we arrived at the designated location, it was already late at night. A large group of people were waiting there, and even three armored vehicles were arranged, showing enough attention and distrust.

Lu Linbei ignored the latter, parked a dozen meters away, got off the car with Dong Tianchai, took off his helmet, and revealed his true face for the other party to observe.

Someone hurried over, and it was Qiu Xinyang himself. He rushed over first and held Dong Tianchai's hand, saying eagerly: "It's an honor to finally meet Dr. Dong."

"Ah, hello." Dong Tianchai said nonchalantly, not knowing this person at all.

Lu Linbei introduced on his behalf: "This is Qiu Xinyang, who has communicated with Dr. Dong online."

Dong Tianchai then became enthusiastic, "I didn't expect you to be so young."

"At my age, Dr. Dong has already achieved great success, and I can't compare with him."

The two of them respected each other. Qiu Xinyang signaled Lu Linbei to wait for a while. He first sent Dong Tianchai to an armored vehicle, then quickly returned and shook hands with Lu Linbei. "On behalf of the Independence Army, I would like to express my sincere greetings to Major Lu." With gratitude, you have gained our complete trust.”

The agreement promised by Lu Linbei failed to be reached smoothly, and there was already a rift between the two parties. It was not until this time that mutual trust was re-established.

Lu Linbei decided to go one step further and handed a chip to Qiu Xinyang, "Here is some information we got, related to some officers of the Independence Army. They cannot be used as direct evidence, but can only be used as a reminder."

Qiu Xinyang was even more surprised and whispered: "Zhai Wangxing has joined the 'Anti-Peace Front', and Dawangxing has carried out high-profile propaganda on this."

"Peace" for one side is "anti-peace" for the other side.

Lu Linbei said: "This is not a black and white era. I think we should not be too harsh on each other."

Qiu Xinyang smiled, "Yes, you can't be too harsh. We can handle the war. If there is a chance, I hope Major Lu will come to Paradise City again, and you will have more confidence in us."

"I will look for opportunities as soon as possible."

"Then the space station..."

"Now that the space station is being repaired, the first one to arrive is likely to be the King's Fleet, so we are not in a hurry."

"That's good. Thanks again anyway."

Lu Linbei said goodbye. It was already early morning when he returned to the mine. He fell into bed and went to sleep. After dawn, he had to go to work in the Military Intelligence Office on time.

Mei Wangzhen arrived one step ahead of him and was checking the records in the microcomputer. He raised his head and said: "Old Bei, you are making a big gamble. The 'Peace Front' will soon launch a full-scale offensive. After the Independence Army is defeated, all information will be lost." Reveal it and your actions will be criminalized.”

“Isn’t hedging your bets a standard response?”

"That's right, but that's the commander's business. We must at least gain his understanding."

"Then let's think of it as a big gamble. Leader Zhen, if I have the chance, I hope to be able to observe the meeting of the 'Peace Front', and I also want to go to Paradise City again."

"You want to know who will be the ultimate winner?"

"Well, paper data is only one aspect. I need solid evidence."
