Spy Family

Chapter 36 The Hopeless Spy

Lu Linbei and Lu Yezhou had no place to stay, so they went to Mei Qianzhong's house to stay.

Mei Wangzhen was willing to give up her sofa. Lu Linbei felt that since the mission was over, there was no need to trouble her anymore, so he declined, took his luggage, and went to share a bedroom with Lu Yezhou.

Mei Qianzhong likes the old city and owns a two-bedroom apartment in a well-maintained high-rise building. He is not a homebody, so the indoor layout is very simple. There is not even a bed. Everyone, including himself, sleeps there. He also prepared a lot of inflatable mattresses, six in total.

"Just in case." Mei Qianzhong found the inflatable bed from the corner and threw it to the guest, "I haven't stayed here for a while, it looks okay."

Except for the ubiquitous dust, it was indeed very clean. Lu Linbei replied: "It's impeccable."

Lu Yezhou hummed. Ever since he left the Emergency Department, he seemed depressed.

Mei Qianzhong went to the kitchen, took out a few cans of refrigerated mixed wine, threw it to the two of them, and said with a smile: "There are still some good things left, let's get drunk and then rest."

There was nothing in the living room. Mei Qianzhong sat directly on the floor. Lu Linbei and Lu Yezhou also sat down. The three of them formed a small circle and drank one drink after another.

"I bought this house with my own money. It is my only property. Even though it is in the old city, the price is not cheap." Mei Qianzhong looked around and was very satisfied. "It is a bit old, but the maintenance It’s very nice, it doesn’t need to be renovated, and it’s convenient for life. The shop downstairs is open all night, so we can go shopping later.”

"Can we go out?" Lu Yezhou drank slowly.

"Why not? As long as you don't leave the city, you can go anywhere."

The three of them drank for a while, and their mood gradually improved. Lu Yezhou was still more concerned about the future and asked: "Lao Qian, if, I mean if, you can't go back to the Emergency Department, what are you going to do?"

"You can do whatever you want. After working in this industry, you will find that it is very easy to work in other industries."

"But when we first entered the industry, it was... like this."

"Haha, don't worry, I'm here, you are my team members, you can follow me as long as you want."

"Are you willing, Lao Bei?" Lu Yezhou said eagerly.

"Yeah." Lu Linbei smiled, he hadn't thought about it yet.

"The girl I met by the lake, her father is a senior figure in the energy exchange, and he might be able to arrange a job for us. By the way, her car is still with me... Forget it, let's talk about it later."

"The energy exchange is a good place." Lu Yezhou was even happier.

The three of them drank more and more wine, empty cans were all over the floor, and their interest became more and more high. Instead, they didn't want to go out, so Mei Qian ordered a lot of takeaways.

In less than ten minutes, there was a ding at the door, and the takeaways were delivered directly to the room through the small delivery elevator. Most of them were wine. Qianzhong took them out one by one. Lu Linbei and Lu Yezhou took them and placed them all over the floor.

After drinking for a while, there was a knock on the door from outside. Lu Yezhou immediately became nervous, but Mei Qianzhong ignored it and got up to open the door. He was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Why are you here?"

Mei Wangzhen entered the room, looked at the mess on the floor, and frowned, "Drunk like this? You invited me here."

Mei Qianzhong thought carefully for a while, "Was it me who contacted you? Not Lao Bei?"

Mei Wangzhen also sat on the floor, picked up a can of wine, took a big sip, and said to Lu Linbei, "No wonder you don't want to live with me."

Lu Linbei was already a little drunk and smiled stupidly in return.

The four of them continued eating and drinking, leaving the last worries behind.

"Get out of here, Emergency Department!" Lu Yezhou borrowed wine to strengthen his courage and didn't care if there was surveillance. "The four of us can get ahead in any profession. Why do I always think that the Emergency Department is the only way out?"

"Because everyone around us is taking this path." Although Lu Linbei was so drunk that he lay on the ground, his mind was still somewhat clear.

Mei Wangzhen came late, but got drunk quickly, and his speech was already a bit slurred, "Laoqian, I have two team members, and you have seven or eight, right?"

Even though he was drunk, Mei Qianzhong could still maintain his grace and said with a smile: "I am in charge of four groups. Counting myself and you, there are a total of fourteen members. I didn't expect it."

Mei Wangzhen waved his hand, "What's the use of more? Who has contacted you? Who has helped you? There are only three of us left, and we are tied together with you because we can't run away."

Mei Qianzhong shrugged, "So what? If it were someone else encountering this kind of thing, I wouldn't care about it. Sister Wangzhen, you've missed Third Uncle's class in vain, and you still can't get over it."

"I..." Mei Wangzhen smiled, "I am a fool. If Third Uncle is here, he will definitely scold me severely. Can Third Uncle still come out?"

"I don't know, Lao Bei, take a guess."

Lu Linbei lay on his back, staring at the ceiling, his thoughts drifting away, but he could hear the words with his ears and could answer with his mouth, "If the heads of the emergency department are all professional spies, if they have listened to the third uncle's class, they will not They will blame Third Uncle, but also be grateful to him. If they are politicians and want to fight for power, they will not let Third Uncle go."

"You're still so clear-headed. I'll punish you by drinking another can." Mei Qianzhong pulled Lu Linbei up, and Mei Wangzhen handed over a can of wine that had just been opened.

Lu Yezhou came over and asked, "Lao Qian, you are familiar with the bosses above. Are they spies or politicians?"

"They used to be spies, now they are politicians." Mei Qianzhong replied.

"Isn't there no hope for Third Uncle? We have no hope either." Lu Yezhou sighed.

"I've said it before, there is hope everywhere, why are you worried?" Mei Qianzhong opened a can of wine, put it into Lu Yezhou's hand, watched him drink it all in one gulp, and said with a satisfied smile: "This is right, just right. When I was young, I wanted to catch a lot of them. I was thinking that we could go to the eighth planet and start a new emergency department or start a company."

"But none of us are heirs." Lu Yezhou reminded.

"Fool, do you think the rulers of the major planets are so kind-hearted that they will hand over an entire planet to their heirs? This is all a political struggle. On the surface, they are fighting over whether there should be an heir, but secretly they are busy carving it up. Just wait and see, when the dust settles next year, the beneficiaries will definitely not be a group of interstellar orphans, but Star Alliance and several companies. Old Bei, am I right?"

Lu Linbei raised his head, looking at the ceiling and giggling.

"Lao Bei!" Mei Qianzhong raised his voice.

"Yes, that's right." Lu Linbei took a deep breath, and then exhaled softly. "That's what the ship is here for."

"What ship? Oh, you mean the spaceship of Uranus."

"Bigger things are happening. We are just a few sawdust in the stormy sea. We have not sunk just because we are insignificant. Even the emergency department is insignificant. The farm and family are all insignificant. Bigger things are happening." Lu Lin Bei said word by word, even he didn't know what he was emphasizing.

"What is the big deal?" Lu Yezhou asked.

"Big things, unprecedented, new planet, new technology, new ambitions, new disputes, true sister, your wish will come true..." Lu Linbei lay on his back again, speechless for a long time, this time it was Really fell asleep.

The remaining three people waited for a while and laughed together. No one paid close attention to the meaning of Lu Linbei's words and continued drinking until they all fell drunk on the floor.

Lu Linbei woke up with a headache. After enduring it for a while, he reluctantly opened his eyes and found that he was still lying on the floor, surrounded by empty cans and food residues.

Mei Qianzhong and Lu Yezhou were lying not far away, still sleeping soundly, with colorful paintings on their faces.

Lu Linbei laughed and immediately thought that he might have been tricked too, so he got up and went to the bathroom, where he saw the same painted face in the mirror.

This was obviously the work of Wang Wang, and I don’t know when she left.

After noon, the other two people woke up and saw each other's faces. They laughed at first, then became alert and ran to the bathroom to check.

"Wangzhen never grows up, he is still like a child." Mei Qianzhong said while washing his face.

For several days, the three of them stayed in the house eating and drinking, sometimes coming and sometimes not coming.

When there was a mountain of garbage at home, Mei Qianzhong suggested going out for shopping and asking the building manager to pay someone to clean up the house.

Mei Qianzhong was an excellent guide and knew all the places to play in the old city. He reminded Lu Linbei and Lu Yezhou of Director Yong.

Lu Yezhou still admired the deputy director-general, especially his fixed seat on the top floor of the Diplomatic Building.

Mei Qianzhong is not yet qualified.

There has been no news from the Emergency Department. After the old director died of illness, everything seemed to have come to a standstill. Lu Yezhou once wanted to learn about the situation through the farm, but Mei Qianzhong stopped him, "We are still members of the Emergency Department in name only, so we must obey." Order, do not contact outsiders. From the day you leave the farm, the farm is an outsider."

About half a month later, none of the three people counted the time seriously. They wandered to a special street in the old city. There were no bars here, but only shops related to metaphysics. The end of the earth age not only did not make metaphysics disappear. , but became a huge driving force.

None of the three people believed this kind of thing. It was Qianzhong who proposed to have a fortune-telling, "Why not? We have encountered coincidences that have not happened in many years. Maybe there is really God's will in the dark?"

They randomly chose a mysterious-looking store and went in. The windows of the store were covered with zodiac signs and playing cards, and the plaque read "Zhao Wangxing's True Fortune Teller."

Lu Linbei couldn't help but think that the stars seen on King Zhai were completely different from those on Earth and King Zhao. Could the ancient constellations work here? Or are fortune tellers designing a new constellation system?

Because he didn't want to spoil the fun, he didn't ask these questions.

The room was very dark, filled with all kinds of strange things, with a strong aroma floating around. There was a round table in the middle, with four high stools next to it.

There was no sign of the shopkeeper.

"Can't he guess that there are guests coming?" Lu Yezhou asked in a low voice.

Mei Qianzhong smiled and said loudly: "Are you still doing business?"

After a while, someone came out from behind. Before the person appeared, the aroma became stronger first, and then a young woman with long hair reaching her waist stood at the door, looking at the three guests coldly.

Lu Linbei had never seen anyone with such thick hair, and it was all fluffy and thin curls, which made her head appear thicker than her body.

"Is this the legendary mop spirit?" Lu Linbei thought.

"Miss, didn't you expect three young and handsome guests to come to your door?" Mei Qianzhong asked with a smile, and Lu Yezhou regretted that he should not have said this first.

"I've figured it out." The female fortune teller walked over, her expression still cold, she stretched out her right hand covered with rings, turned it over, revealing a few cards, "I've figured it out, I will fall in love with one of you. Man, he will fall in love with me too.”

Mei Qianzhong whistled, "Interesting. Generally speaking, I'm not used to women being so proactive, but... I can make an exception for you, unless this is your routine for entertaining all guests."

Lu Yezhou gave a short laugh, but did not dare to expose the cheater's lies in public.

The female fortune teller remained calm and placed the cards on the table one by one. There were four cards in total. Then she waved her hand and the cards disappeared from her hand. She raised her head and said in a cold and lazy voice: "It turns out that It's you."

Lu Yezhou laughed, and Mei Qianzhong was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "Old Bei, your luck has come."

Lu Linbei didn't feel any joy at all. A name echoed in his mind - Yuan Miyu, and then he thought that everything about the spy came back in this way.
