Spy Family

Yang Guanghan did not lie about at least one thing. Lu Linbei's dealings with Qiu Xinyang and the release of Dong Tianchai did cause him trouble.

Mei Wangzhen had known about this for a long time, but it wasn't until Lu Linbei asked that she admitted, "It's not a big deal, I've already solved it for you."

"Colonel Huang is so easy to talk to now?"

Mei Wangzhen laughed and said: "There are times when you can't understand why Colonel Huang is angry with you? It's not because he doesn't like you, or Dong Tianchai is too fond of him, but because he is afraid of trouble. Before returning safely to Zhai Wangxing, He will always be frightened, and it is impossible to make him bolder, but the trouble can be solved in advance, and as long as the trouble does not exist, Colonel Huang will not bother to talk to anyone."

Lu Linbei stayed for a while, "Have you contacted Uranus?"

"I have been keeping in touch with King Zhai, not for you, but for the work of the Military Intelligence Office and the interests of King Zhai, and by the way, I can solve your problem."

Lu Linbei smiled and said: "The effect of recognizing relatives is actually so great."

"It sounds simple, but it's not easy to do. You have to know some skills. Recognizing relatives is just a means. Drawing closer relationships and unifying positions is the goal."

"It must be difficult to get King Da Wang and King Zhai to unify their stance, right?"

"It's extremely difficult, but the Independence Army has helped a lot. Although Paradise City has stabilized, the independence movements in various places have not stopped. Uranus still needs our cooperation. Old Bei, you are right about one thing. You require investigators to It is very useful to collect information about the independence movement.”

"Thank you, I thought..."

"Don't say thank you. This is a business matter and has nothing to do with friendship. To be honest, your matter may be big or small. In short, our unified statement is to collect intelligence."

"So far, I have not received any information from Dong Tianchai and contact has been interrupted."

"Developing an intelligence agent is never something that happens overnight. I have been keeping tabs on some of Zhao Wangxing's people for three years but I still haven't been able to win them over, but what needs to be done still needs to be done."

"Yang Guanghan wants to use me to find Qiu Xinyang and Dong Tianchai."

"Cooperate with him. Yang Guanghan is very useful. To please him is one of your tasks. As for the extent of your cooperation, it is up to you. I trust your judgment." Mei Wangzhen blinked, as if to I'm a little embarrassed about what I just said.

She is trying to learn how to be a qualified boss. She is still a little clumsy at the moment, but she also looks cute. Lu Linbei can't help but wonder what she will look like when this clumsiness disappears.

"Understood, I want to give a verbal report first: My judgment on the situation in Zhao Wangxing has not changed. The Peace Front's arrests of independence fighters everywhere are adding fuel to the fire and will stimulate more independence movements."

"Some people in Uranus also understand this truth, but they have no choice. The Peace Front is a huge alliance. Regarding this expected victory, all forces want to get the maximum benefit from it in order to capture the Independence Army fighters. As a reason, we can take the opportunity to expand our power and territory. No one will give up. Even many places outside Paradise City are arresting sympathizers of the Independence Army."

"Is this how the people of Uranus look at you?"

"They only care about First Light's mines and farms. As for the chaos on King Zhao, they have only one solution. Repair the space station as soon as possible and welcome the fleet of King Zhao. No matter how chaotic it is, they will not be afraid."

For Zhao Wangxing, who lacks the ability to fight in space, the threat above his head is always unsolvable.

"The network of the space station seems to have not been breached yet." Lu Linbei holds the only key and has never disclosed it to anyone.

"Uranus is repairing two ground-to-space spacecraft. They will be able to take off in about a month. By then, no keys will be needed to take over the space station."

Lu Linbei nodded, feeling that the current situation was getting more and more complicated.

Other investigators were about to arrive, and Mei Wangzhen said: "If this continues, Uranus will regain its absolute advantage. Once they feel safe, they will immediately abandon their former allies. 'Recognizing relatives' can make me feel like a fish in water, but it will not make me Colonel Huang cannot become a real big fish. He wants to return to King Zhai in an 'honorable' way, which has affected his judgment. We must formulate a plan to avoid the worst outcome."

"Um."

"First, you need a few helpers."

"One is enough."

Mei Wangzhen smiled and said, "There are more than twenty investigators on King Zhao, as well as some good intelligence agents. You can choose as you like..."

Lu Yezhou rushed in in a hurry, "Hey, you two always come so early. I hurry up and hurry up, but it's still a step too late."

"If you have fewer girlfriends, you will have more time." Mei Wangzhen said.

"Haha, that's not okay. This is compensation. In the mine stronghold, I am like being trapped in a cage. I was finally released. I have to run wild as much as I can. This is my nature."

"Whose girl is so unlucky that she meets your nature?"

"I'm not forcing anyone. They know who I am, and I know who they are. Everyone agrees." Lu Yezhou fell on the sofa and stretched his limbs proudly, like a child pampered by his parents. " But having said that, after the war, I am more popular than before. Not just me, all aliens are in demand now. Old Bei, you just need to look around like you don’t know your way around, so that people will recognize you as coming from outside. Star, soon a woman will take the initiative to come over..."

"Thank you, I don't need it." Lu Linbei interrupted.

"This is a metaphor, Lao Bei. Even if you are tempted, I will stop you, otherwise I will not be able to face Sister Manman in the future. She saved my life." Lu Yezhou still believed that the person who spoke on the Internet that day was the real person. Chen Manchi, although she never appeared again.

When the other investigators arrived, Mei Wangzhen presided over the regular morning meeting, which ended quickly. Everyone worked separately, leaving Lu Linbei alone.

Lu Linbei first dealt with daily documents, and then started to check the investigators' information. He really needed an assistant for field work.

Lu Yezhou is the most suitable, but he currently has heavy tasks and a lot of "personal business", so it is impossible to escape. Among the remaining two dozen investigators, 11 of them are farm children, and they are not satisfied with Lu Linbei's withdrawal. There were some criticisms about his return and his relationship with the real team leader.

These criticisms never reached Lu Linbei's ears, but he could tell that these farm boys would show deliberate enthusiasm every time they met.

Other investigators are "external hires" and most of them are "recommended" by a certain department and are available but not trustworthy.

Lu Linbei had no choice but to turn his attention to the intelligence agent whose situation was more complicated.

Most of the intelligence agents are insiders in third-party agencies, and their names cannot be disclosed, let alone used publicly. Some intelligence agents are full-time, acting as a buffer layer between investigators and the outside world. When the war began, they all disappeared. King Zhai and King Xing reconciled, and they immediately appeared again.

"You can only choose spies from scum." Lu Linbei recalled what his third uncle said and laughed to himself. From an outsider's perspective, Lu Linbei was also a "scum".

Unable to choose anyone available, Lu Linbei gave up temporarily and continued to process files and check information, especially intelligence coming from other cities.

Due to channel problems, most of the intelligence about the independence movement is second-hand information, coming from the local dominant forces. Just looking at their words, the situation is great, independent actions are being curbed, and important independent elements have been arrested...

But when all similar statements are put together, they form another picture: there are independent movements everywhere, with different names, but the same theme. The identity of the participants is shockingly broad and complex, covering all levels of Zhao Wangxing. , and even some aliens.

During the lunch break, an uninvited guest came to the office.

The planetary headquarters of Infinite Light Industry is heavily guarded. All visitors must go through an identity check and obtain the visitor's permission before entering the elevator. However, Yang Guanghan knocked on the door directly, as if he was a ghost emerging directly from the ground.

Yang Guanghan obviously wanted to leave a deep impression on Lu Linbei in this way.

He succeeded. Lu Linbei was shocked and had deep doubts about the security of the building, but he smiled and said: "Mr. Yang is here, why didn't you inform him in advance? I want to be prepared."

"I was passing by and came to take a look." Yang Guanghan pretended to be casual and really looked around. "Is this the place where spies work? I don't see anything special."

"Because spying is a very ordinary job, nothing special. Please sit down."

Yang Guanghan sat on the sofa and asked formally: "Is it safe to talk here?"

"This office is one of the safest places on Planet Zhao."

"Hey, as safe as this building?"

"The security of the office is our own responsibility and has nothing to do with the building."

"Major Lu's judgment should be accurate."

"So Mr. Yang has something 'secret' to say?"

"I found Qiu Xinyang and Dong Tianchai."

"oh."

"Major Lu doesn't believe it?"

"I'm waiting for Mr. Yang to give details."

"Haha, the details are very complicated. It's okay not to tell them. Anyway, I have channels for information."

"Congratulations Mr. Yang, it seems you don't need my help anymore."

"On the contrary. I got news that the two people did not leave Paradise City and were protected by the Drifter Station - it is really strange that a group of homeless people can actually provide protection to others."

"There aren't many homeless people left in Paradise City, are there?"

"Uh... I'm not quite sure. It's not the homeless people, it's the volunteers."

"Volunteers must not be able to stop Mr. Yang from arresting people."

"How much does Major Lu know about volunteers?"

"I met a few people and chatted, that's all."

"Do you know their true identity?"

"Some volunteers have been homeless before, and some are good Samaritans. We never talk about their specific identities. This is an unwritten rule among volunteers so as not to differentiate between classes."

"Hey, that's because class does exist, and it's very disparate. I just heard that there are some children from big families among the volunteers. I would say they are a bunch of bad people. After eating and drinking, they have nothing to do and go to the poorest people. Providing services seems to make them stand out. When the Independence Army rose, they were all victims. When the Independence Army was suppressed, their sympathy overflowed. Qiu Xinyang and Dong Tianchai were victims of With the protection of these people, I can’t break in and arrest them, so I have to lure these two people out.”

"need me?"

"Well, Major Lu didn't regret it, did he?"

"Of course not, please arrange it with Mr. Yang."
