Spy Family

Chapter 458 Time is running out

Lu Linbei didn't want to talk in the hotel, "It's getting late, I have to go back to work."

Lu Yezhou understood what he meant and smiled: "It's not far anyway, I'll walk back with you."

After leaving the hotel, Lu Linbei asked: "Does Sister Zhen know that you are looking for a way out?"

"She has never mentioned it, but she definitely knows. Everyone is looking for a way out. I don't believe Sister Zhen knows anything about it, and -" Lu Yezhou laughed, "Sister Zhen is also looking for a way out. The road has been found."

"Um?"

"She didn't tell you?"

Lu Linbei shook his head, "I didn't mention a word."

"Sister Zhen is a strict-tongued person, but she will definitely take you with her in the end."

"If she really prepares a way out, she won't leave you behind."

"That's true. Even though Sister Zhen is usually very strict with me, at the critical moment, the only person she can trust is me, and now there's you."

"In that case, why are you still looking for a way out?"

There were not many people on the street. Lu Yezhou stopped and looked at Lu Linbei quite seriously, "Because my third uncle is dead, I am no longer a child. I can't always wait for Sister Zhen to arrange everything. I must at least provide a backup plan." , If Sister Zhen’s future is very smooth, great, what if it doesn’t go well? Will all the pressure be thrown on her alone? "

Lu Linbei was stunned for a while, "I didn't know you cared so much about your third uncle's death."

The two continued to walk forward, and Lu Yezhou smiled and said: "Actually, I don't have deep feelings for my third uncle. I have never been his favorite disciple, and I don't have much contact with him after work. But he is the backbone. With him here, what can I do?" I don't even want to concentrate on doing my own work. If he is gone, the backbone will be gone. Sister Zhen is a very good person and an extremely good investigator. Everyone admires her, but she is not the backbone. If the con man is It's a big deal to still be alive. The key is not how smart or experienced you are, but how well you can protect me. The old director could protect you back then, and so can my third uncle, although it's a bit reluctant."

"It seems you have thought a lot."

"Of course, I also thought of other people: Mei Yongge definitely can't do it. He has the ability, but he is unwilling to do it. He only thinks about himself and his superiors, and is indifferent to his subordinates. Mei Boxue is just the opposite. He has this intention, but he doesn't. This ability. In a few years, maybe five, maybe ten years, Sister Zhen will hopefully become the backbone, but not now."

"Tell me about your plan." Lu Linbei said.

Lu Yezhou smiled and said, "I knew you would agree. As a rule, I won't say who the person providing protection is. Anyway, he must have the energy. The other party's request is very simple. Provide a fleet of at least ten trucks. Shipping batteries, every day, until... something happened."

“A man with so much energy needs ten trucks?”

"Energy sounds like a powerful thing, but in fact it can only be cultivated in a certain field. For example, in our Military Intelligence Department, if you ask for information or something, you will definitely be able to get it, but if you go to the energy exchange to ask for directions, no one will pay attention to you."

"I see what you mean, this 'Protector' is at a logistical disadvantage."

"Yes, but he is in urgent need of batteries. He is looking for a way everywhere, and he also found me. The Military Intelligence Office can arrange some vehicles, as long as we design a reasonable plan..."

"Don't talk about this yet. Is this person trustworthy?"

"He is the only person from King Zhao that I trust. I definitely can't trust him as much as I trust you and Sister Zhen, but I can guarantee that he has no problems and will not regret it halfway. Even if I don't help, he will when necessary Provide protection, but I think it is best for things like friendship to come and go, and pave the way in advance so that you can feel more confident when the time comes."

Lu Linbei was silent for a while, "You just said that Sister Zhen has found a way out..."

"I can't tell you the details, and you must never mention this to Sister Zhen, she will kill me." Lu Yezhou said exaggeratedly.

"Let me think about it."

"What are you thinking? Don't believe me? Or do you think I will be fooled?" Lu Yezhou was a little anxious.

"Think about how this should be done."

"I have a plan..."

"Let's discuss it after I've thought about it." Lu Linbei insisted. As long as it was not particularly urgent, he hoped to delay making a decision as long as possible on matters that confused him.

"Okay." Not far from the company, Lu Yezhou stopped and said, "Just send it here. When can you get back to me?"

"Tomorrow, not necessarily when, wait for me to contact you."

"See you."

"goodbye."

When Lu Linbei was about to leave, Lu Yezhou suddenly said: "Hey, Lao Bei, I must take you back to King Zhai and hand you over to Sister Manman."

Lu Linbei smiled and strode towards the company.

Zhu Canchen had some authority and could go back to the small office by himself. When Lu Linbei entered, he was in a daze. Although his eyes glanced at him, his expression did not change, as if he did not recognize who it was.

"Hello." Lu Linbei said.

Zhu Canchen woke up as if from a dream, and a smile quickly appeared on his face. It was as sudden as a start switch being pressed on a dormant robot, "Hello, Major Lu, I'm waiting for you."

"What's up?"

"The restaurant's processes are not reasonable enough. There are some areas that can be improved to increase efficiency."

Lu Linbei was stunned for a moment, "Don't mind the restaurant's business. We are just staying here temporarily and are guests."

"Isn't the Investigation Department of Infinite Light Industry part of the company?"

Lu Linbei accidentally missed something and said with a smile: "Infinite Light is a huge company, and the boundaries between departments must be clear, otherwise, it will become a mess."

"That's right. Is there a way to pass improvement suggestions to management?"

"There is no way." Lu Linbei had to be stricter, "I didn't recruit you to find fault with the restaurant."

Zhu Canchen once again woke up from a dream, "I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on. I'm obsessed with this idea. Thank you, Major Lu, for rescuing me."

"You're welcome. I just came to take a look, nothing else. I'm leaving."

"Ah, one more little thing. Regarding the ground-to-space spacecraft, I think I found some useful information." Zhu Canchen turned the direction of the monitor.

Lu Linbei didn't believe that Zhu Canchen could complete the mission in one morning, not to mention that he had previously stated the mission goal in an extremely general manner, only mentioning the ground-to-air spacecraft, but he still went over and took a look.

That was someone asking for help on social media: Does anyone have sedatives? Buy them at a high price and trade them face to face in Paradise City. One dose is enough.

Zhu Canchen explained: "This man's name is Yu Pinzui, and he is the chief engineer of First Light Industry Group based in Zhao Wangxing."

"I recognize him." Lu Linbei happened to have met this person at last night's party. "What does he have to do with the ground-to-air spaceship? What does sedatives have to do with the ground-to-space spacecraft?"

"Some people will have strong physical reactions when taking a ground-to-air spaceship and must be sedated."

"That's not the only use of sedatives."

"Of course, please take a look at this." Zhu Canchen called up more content on the microcomputer, which was all Yu Pinzui's social speeches. After screening, the content was related to the ground-to-space spacecraft. The chief engineer used to often go to the space station, and every time He made some grumbles or complaints. Although he did not mention sedatives, he obviously disliked the process of launching into space. He repeatedly mentioned one sentence: scientists cannot just be satisfied with sending humans into space, but also need to solve the problem of comfort.

"He is the chief engineer of First Light Industry. Can't he get a sedative?"

"As Major Lu just said, the boundaries between departments are clear, and I have checked that King Zhao is a planet with extremely uneven development. A large number of items cannot be produced and must be imported from aliens, including various types of sedatives. The demand is not large, and when interstellar traffic is normal, it is enough to ensure supply. Now that the source has been cut off, the remaining inventory has most likely flowed into the black market."

"That help message was sent out this morning." Lu Linbei noticed the time at first glance.

"Yes, so First Light should have a ground-to-space spacecraft launched soon. The strange thing is that we don't know where they are going. Zhao Wangxing's space station has been destroyed, and the spacecraft has nowhere to dock. In the end, it can only return to On the ground. Perhaps it has something to do with the satellites of the King of Kings. It is more convenient for ground-to-space spacecraft to shoot down satellites."

Lu Linbei couldn't help but look at Zhu Canchen one more time, "The message has been received, you can continue working."

"is that useful?"

"A piece of information alone is of little use. It needs to be connected with other information to judge its value."

"It would be nice if I could meet the chief engineer directly. Maybe I could get more direct information."

"Yes." Lu Linbei returned to Mei Wangzhen's office. He was surprised by Zhu Canchen's achievements, but also a little wary. This person's ability was so strong that it was close to coincidence. He must be careful not to be led into a trap by him.

Lu Linbei started processing the documents, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, he contacted Lu Yezhou, "From tomorrow on, Su Yuxin will be under my command, and you no longer have to be responsible for her."

Lu Yezhou cheered, "Thank you, Lao Bei. The next step is to find a perfect reason to fire her without any impact on the two of us."

Lu Linbei knew very well that this expulsion would always affect one person. The reason why Lu Yezhou wanted a good friend to take over was because Lu Linbei's special experience meant that he had almost no chance of promotion in the future and could "not care" about the impact.

"Anyway, just leave it to me. I happen to be needed in the field. How should I contact her?"

"I will make arrangements and wait for news from me."

"good."

"What about the other thing?"

"Arrangements are being made, waiting for my news."

Lu Yezhou laughed a few times and ended the call.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Linbei contacted Yang Guanghan, "Recommend a reliable person to me. I need to conduct an in-depth investigation of the Wanderer Station."

Yang Guanghan laughed, "I know Major Lu is a smart man. Let's go to Mao Woxue, he is very reliable and he happened to be a volunteer, which is more convenient."

Yang Guanghan's understanding of "reliability" was obviously different. Lu Linbei didn't care. "Well, let him contact me after seven o'clock. After the investigation is completed, I will give Mr. Yang a definite reply."

"How long will the investigation take?"

"Three days at most."

"Very good. There is one thing I want to remind Major Lu: There is no problem in investigating whether what I said is true or false, but be careful. If you make it too public, the secret will be revealed."

Less than a day after Zhai Wangxing's Military Intelligence Department started collecting intelligence, Yang Guanghan had already noticed it.

"Mr. Yang, don't worry, this is our standard procedure."

"I don't care, just be more careful."

At 4:30 in the afternoon, Lu Linbei was about to contact Mei Wangzhen. She came back just in time. As soon as she entered the office, she said: "The situation is worse than expected. A ground-to-space spacecraft has been repaired on Uranus and we can go there in a few days." Space Station, we don’t have much time left.”
