Spy Family

It was almost midnight when Lu Linbei and Mei Wangzhen left Yang's house. They left earlier, and there were more guests lingering around. It seemed like this was the last party in their lives, and the participants always wanted to catch something.

The two were riding in the same car, with another car following behind in autonomous mode.

After hearing what Lu Linbei said, Mei Wangzhen immediately said: "This is a trap. Yang Guanghan is working for King Xing. He wants to lure King Zhai into making mistakes and get entangled with the Independence Army to provide King Xing with an excuse to take action."

"Yeah, that's what I thought too."

"This guy Yang Guanghan - when shamelessness becomes a habit, you can't even be angry with him. If it were someone else, I would think of how to retaliate against him. I think it's normal for him. But there is something strange. You let Qiu Xinyang go. Why didn't he take advantage of those people? Didn't he have time?"

"I guess he wasn't working for Uranus at that time."

"Yang Guanghan changes masters faster than an earth-to-space spacecraft takes to the sky. How do you plan to respond?"

"I was wondering how I could make a little profit out of it."

"You have already gained a lot of benefits from Yang Guanghan. Letting go of the Independence Army is enough for Yang Guanghan to hate you for the rest of his life."

"In that case, I don't have to care about his feelings and can just take advantage of them."

"Haha, I like your attitude. Have you figured out a way?"

"not yet."

"It's very dangerous, and the bet is not on ourselves, but also on all the people from King Zhai here."

"we?"

"Of course, do you want to take risks alone? I have worked so hard to be a 'true team leader', so I should get some reward, right?"

"You are the boss, you have the final say."

"Well, let's make a plan first." Mei Wangzhen began to think, much more seriously than at the party.

Lu Linbei couldn't help but wonder, which kind of life does she prefer, the "real team leader" who seems relaxed and comfortable, or the "real sister" who is free and unrestrained? Maybe she doesn't have to choose any kind of life that others may not be able to have after hard work. She can take care of it at the same time and still do well.

Guan Zhuqian had reason to be jealous of her.

"First we have to determine what we want to get from it." Lu Linbei said that he was also thinking and had a prototype of a plan, but there were too many loopholes and he didn't want to say it out immediately.

"Yes, the goal must be clear. Yang Guanghan said that he is hiding a ground-to-air spaceship. Is it true?"

"When I said I wanted to check the spaceship in advance, he didn't shirk it, so I guess there is such a spaceship."

"Then why was Uranus not used immediately? They are particularly eager to repair the space station, and they will benefit the most if interstellar transportation is restored."

"I guess this spacecraft is intact on the surface, but there are flaws inside, and it can't get close to the space station."

"Then ground-to-air spaceships should not be our target."

"Can't be the real target."

"Is there anything else in the trap worth risking?"

"No more. The Drifter Station and King Zhai are not a community of interests and are not worth saving. Moreover, they are not that dangerous. While the children of the family save themselves, they can also save many ordinary volunteers."

"The mayor is a puppet introduced by King Xing. He dares not resist no matter what. There is absolutely no value in fighting for him."

The two of them fell into silence at the same time, without any discussion. When Mei Wangzhen drove the car back to Wuxian Company, Lu Linbei was not surprised at all and had no objection.

In the office, the two of them checked the information on the microcomputer and chatted occasionally. Finally, Lu Linbei thought of the breakthrough point: "I thought of one thing, why does King Xing want to attack King Zhai at this time?"

"Why?" Mei Wangzhen cooperated, not bothering to guess.

"I guess Uranus is going to attack Zhai Wang and Mingwang at the same time, or close to the same time."

"Huh? Oh, that makes sense. The Great King likes the 'catch them all' tactic very much, and it is possible that the Zhai King and the Ming King will have to be packaged. In this way, their laser weapons have been almost installed and can attack satellites."

"Probably."

The two fell into silence at the same time. After a few minutes, Mei Wangzhen said: "Perhaps we can use this matter to gain the trust of Mingwang Xing, but is it still useful? Mingwang Star now has an absolute advantage. Even if we form an alliance with Mingwang Xing, we will not be able to win the trust of Mingwang Xing." With the addition of a Jiazi star, it is still no match for the King star."

"This is the only way. At least it is safer than fighting alone. If Mingwang Xing can keep those three nuclear missiles, the hope will be greater."

"We have exposed nuclear missiles, and now we have to find ways to help Mingwang keep them? This is really the traditional style of our Military Intelligence Department. There is another question: Mingwang has nuclear missiles, what do we have? Mingwang will never do that No one will ally himself with the weak.”

"This is a problem." Lu Linbei continued to check the information, refreshing one by one. There was no special target, "Zhai Wangxing has me."

"Ha, it's rare to see you so immodest."

"I'm another problem, not a bargaining chip."

"Wang Chenwen's grudge will not be forgotten by the Mingwang Star Intelligence Agency, but the problem is not big. The intelligence agency is not strong enough to control everything. The person in charge of Mingwang Star is relatively rational and will temporarily give up the grudge in order to protect himself. "

"If Mingwang Xing can be persuaded, we can use the space station as a bargaining chip."

"Space station? Can you contain it and repair it?"

"Not yet, it's hard to say in the future."

"Playing bluffing again?"

Lu Linbei nodded. The only option for a person who gets a bad hand is to bluff.

"I like it." Mei Wangzhen yawned, stretched, and found that he was still wearing an evening dress. He smiled and said, "Do you know what time it is now?"

Lu Linbei glanced at the microcomputer and was slightly surprised, "It's almost five o'clock! I remember we came back not long ago."

Mei Wangzhen stood up and said, "Time sneaks away when we are in a daze. I am going to change clothes. You can find a place to rest for a few hours. I will wake you up before eight o'clock."

Lu Linbei shook his head, "I've been through the sleepiest period, and now I'm not sleepy anymore. I want to check some information... I also have to change my clothes."

Lu Linbei stood up and stretched his limbs. He was actually not sleepy, but he couldn't be said to be energetic, and his mind was a little confused.

Mei Wangzhen suddenly turned around and said, "Dance with me."

"Um?"

"We dress up and attend a ball but don't dance. We will regret it."

"My dancing skills never improved."

"I'm not a teacher. Does it matter whether you are progressing or regressing? When the opportunity comes, seize it, Lao Bei. Life is not a job. There are not so many speculations and plans. Many things happen suddenly and end suddenly. There is no beginning or end. You have to have fun with it, enjoy the spontaneity of it, and welcome every surprise.”

Lu Linbei wanted to say something more, but in the end he just smiled and walked towards Mei Wangzhen, ready to accept the "sudden invitation".

"Wait a minute, you can't dance without music." Mei Wangzhen found the suitable music in another microcomputer and returned to Lu Linbei, "Have you ever thought about death?"

"Will thinking about death improve your dancing skills?"

"Haha, I mean... our situation is very unfavorable. No matter how much we bluff, we are still at an absolute disadvantage. King Xing still has some dignity now. If one day we really break up, we will be easily crushed to death like insects. "

The two of them moved slowly to the music. When Lu Linbei started to think, his movements became more natural. "Colonel Huang was overwhelmed by this idea."

"It's not just him, almost everyone has been crushed, or will be crushed, but it's just not so obvious. I told you, the investigators spend their energy on the black market, and among the goods they purchase, One item is a new identity. To prepare for a rainy day, everyone is preparing for a fallback, but you are the only one who is still foolishly doing analysis, and even recruiting an assistant. Do you know what everyone says about this matter? "

"About recruitment? I don't know."

"Say you're the 'keeper.'"

"What do you mean?" Lu Linbei didn't understand at all.

"Have you never heard of this statement?"

"No."

"A certain organization or company is destined to be abolished, but it cannot be completely ignored. Someone has to stand on the last duty to complete the elimination and clean up the mess. They are called 'goalkeepers', not the goalkeepers on the field, but It’s literally guarding the gate.”

"Sounds more like you than me."

"Yes, they said that about me too, but they didn't say much because I didn't mind so much, and I wasn't as interested as you."

"Am I being in high spirits?"

"I am the earliest to come and the last to leave every day. I carefully approve every document, recruit new people, constantly analyze in my mind, and formulate one plan after another."

"And they are all useless plans, such as letting go of the Independence Army. Apart from making me offend Yang Guanghan, there has been no reward so far."

"For a person like Yang Guanghan, there is not much difference between offending and trying to please him. When it's time to betray you, he will always betray you, and when it's time to win over, he won't have any difficulties. In short, you behave like one of those 'professional goalkeepers'. Obviously I know that I am doing the work of 'sending off my death', but I still do it meticulously, as if I can still bring myself back to life."

"It turns out that this is the image I have in everyone's mind."

"But everyone also admires you, and so do I. When others are crushed, the only person who stands upright deserves respect."

"Maybe I'm stupid." Lu Linbei said with a smile.

"What is smart and what is stupid? Now is not the time to make a conclusion." After the song ended, Mei Wangzhen's interest in dancing had been satisfied. He let go of his hand and walked towards the door, "Then let's have a bluff, better than before. Every time we do it, we have to exaggerate. First of all, we have to deceive our own people, which is more important than deceiving famous stars."

"You're like a 'keeper' now too."

"You dance with me, and I'll be a fool with you." Mei Wangzhen opened the door and smiled at Lu Linbei before walking out.

Lu Linbei stood there for a while, found a paper bag containing old clothes, and carried it to the bathroom.

The real sister is still the real sister, but he is no longer the Lu Linbei of the past. He will still be moved and confused, but there will always be a rock-like figure in his heart.

He is willing to be a "gatekeeper", guarding not the gate, not the institution, not all the Zhai people stranded on King Zhao, but the hope of another planet far away.
