Spy Family

When Lu Linbei saw the seventeen-year-old photo of Ru Hongshang, he felt that she was quite similar to Chen Manchi.

There are not many similarities in appearance, and their expressions are inconsistent. One has an extremely relaxed smile, and the other always remains indifferent and mysterious. The similarity between the two is mainly reflected in their styles: casual loose long skirts, and no reservations about the wandering state. Love always seems to be about to float away at any time, and there is also long hair, one with fewer curls and the other with more curls.

If he hadn't been in contact with Chen Manchi for a period of time, Lu Linbei wouldn't have immediately noticed the similarities, let alone had that weird idea.

He did not mention this matter to Mei Wangzhen or his third uncle. Firstly, he felt that there was insufficient evidence, and secondly, he felt that it was more of a private matter.

He contacted Chen Manchi again and still received the response No such person was found, which meant that the chip in her body had been completely deleted from the system. This was much more difficult and serious than a temporary interruption.

Lu Linbei then contacted Ms. Hongque instead. Every fortune-telling payment he made was transferred to Hongque, so he could contact the owner.

Ms. Hongque's voice sounded very enthusiastic. She started by thanking her in a series. Lu Linbei had to interrupt her and said, I want to ask you a favor. I can't seem to contact Chen Manchi. She is now with Do you live together?”

Why can't I contact her? She doesn't live with me. She was picked up by relatives.

relative?

Yes, she answered a call and said she was a relative, and then left. I thought she would contact me, but there was no news. The street and store have not been cleaned up yet, and I stayed at a friend's house, so I didn't I haven’t contacted her. What do you mean you can’t contact her?”

When was she picked up?

Four days ago, we were discussing finding a new place to live, and then she got a call... Please wait a moment. Mrs. Hongque was obviously trying to contact Chen Manchi, No such person was found? How could there be no such person? Someone? Mrs. Hong Que's voice became anxious.

I think I understand what's going on. Don't worry, I will get her back. Lu Linbei comforted her and ended the call without waiting for the other party to respond.

Chen Manchi finally received the assigned task, which was a bit scary to her.

Lu Linbei knew that this was none of his business, and she had never even asked for help, but he still felt that he had some responsibility.

On the top floor of that unknown high-rise building, the two of them held their hands tightly together. Lu Linbei suddenly understood Chen Manchi's feelings at that time: He did not abandon the old woman he met by chance, and naturally he would not abandon the woman he lived with. She in the room.

The problem is that he is now helpless and can't even find anyone to help.

Forgetting the truth? She would help and make things bigger, and in the end everyone would know, at least not in line with Lu Linbei's current expectations.

A thousand pieces? He would also help, but he would immediately associate the matter with Guan Zhuqian and avoid alerting the enemy. In the end, he would not care about the life or death of a female spy.

Third uncle? He will not give a clear answer, but will keep it in his heart, or never use it, or embed it into a link of some grand plan, with unpredictable results. No matter what, he would strictly prohibit Lu Linbei from investigating further.

He must solve the problem alone.

Lu Linbei stayed outside the building for a while and then returned to his room in the apartment.

The room was also a standard single room, but it was stuffed with two single beds. Another investigator was still working. Lu Linbei took a shower and went to bed to search for Ru Hongshang's information.

It is so vast that there are more than the five largest extremist organizations combined. There are countless rumors surrounding her. The most widely circulated one claims that she is a multiple spy, using her wide network of contacts to steal secrets and sell them to the planet and organization with the highest bid. , thereby obtaining huge benefits.

She was never arrested for this, so this rumor has never been confirmed. Mei Wangzhen has been with the Emergency Department for many years and cannot give a definite answer.

She has a long list of lovers, including many celebrities in politics and business. Lu Linbei has seen Cheng Chuishi, and it is hard to believe that under such circumstances, Ru Hongshang can hide her identity as a spy.

The problem isn't her.

Lu Linbei turned to search for Cheng Toushi, and suddenly the information was less than one ten thousandth.

The assistant minister is an official who can be big or small, big enough to reach the sky, or small enough to be no different from an idle person. Cheng Toushi is obviously the former type. His status is not low, but there is not much public information. He always appears next to the minister. , exists as a background.

As for the minister himself, there were no rumors linking him to Ru Hongshang, so he was temporarily ignored by Lu Linbei.

A brief introduction about Cheng Toushi caught Lu Linbei's attention.

Cheng Toou was born into a distinguished family and became a member of the Huang family in the northwest through his maternal line.

There are many families on King Zhai, and most of them rely on Guangye Farm. During the three hundred years of evolution, families merged and merged with each other, and some professional families were divided. They gradually handed over control of the farm and turned to politics and business. With the help of in-laws and equity, they have formed an extremely complex network of relationships with other families.

The Northwest Huang family is a typical political family. Although there has never been an explicit regulation, whether through election or promotion, this family will always hold one or two ministerial positions in the joint committee, as well as several important official positions.

The current Minister of State Affairs is not a member of the Huang family, but the Assistant Minister is.

But there are only a few sentences of relevant information, and Cheng Toushi's personal experience is still just a few lines.

Lu Linbei suddenly remembered that there was someone he could ask for help.

He opened the game and entered his mailbox.

Mao Kongshan's emails kept coming all day long. They were all in his mailbox and showed as unread. Lu Linbei browsed them quickly.

There is not much new content. Mao Kongshan has arrived at the Jingwei Traffic Station and is waiting for other experts to come and join him. He is very excited. He spends a lot of time communicating with experts from various industries every day, colliding with many new ideas and organizing them into words. , sent to the young people on Zhaiwang.

Unfortunately, Lu Linbei was not interested in these. He jotted down a piece of his childhood experience, and then asked the other party for advice for the first time: Does Professor Mao know the development history of the Huang family and the current distribution of Huang family members in the political circles?

Mao Kongshan specializes in studying Zhai Wangxing's family history, and he must know much more about the Huang family than Lu Linbei and ordinary netizens.

Lu Linbei didn't mention Cheng Toushi's name for now.

Then he looked at the papers Mao Kongshan had sent before and searched with keywords. He found that there were indeed several paragraphs that mentioned the Huang family, but there was no specific introduction. Instead, the Huang family and several other families were listed as negative examples. Claiming that they are becoming one of the biggest obstacles to the development of King Zhai.

The first few times he read this unfinished paper, Lu Linbei always felt drowsy, but tonight he became interested, so he reread the introduction, which is one of the few completed chapters of the paper.

In Lu Linbei's impression, Mao Kongshan was a short old man who looked very kind, but was extremely bold when writing papers and did not shy away from anything.

His general point is:

The family is not a product of the interstellar age. It has always existed with mankind, even before human civilization. It is a powerful promoter of civilization, but when civilization develops to a certain level, the family will become an obstacle.

A highly developed civilization will always suppress the family, but when the civilization collapses and when mankind slides into the abyss of darkness, the family will become the last line of defense, stopping the decline and promoting the redevelopment of the civilization, thus leading to its own demise.

Such stories have been repeated over and over again in history. The destruction of mankind on earth was the greatest catastrophe in the history of civilization. The surviving humans on the major planets had to develop alone, thus becoming fertile soil for the rise of families.

Three hundred years have passed, and the conflict between civilization and family has once again reached an irreconcilable level.

Mao Kongshan's paper is an attempt to prove this point and find a solution.

As a student who has not graduated from the history department, Lu Linbei agrees with most of Mao Kongshan's views, but finds it difficult to prove them.

As a professional spy of the Mei family of the emergency department, Lu Linbei felt that it would be difficult for this paper to be published, and he had a better understanding of the old director.

He still didn't finish reading and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Lu Linbei went to his third uncle's office to pick up a new task. The task was so simple that he thought he was going to be kicked out of the circle again.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, he had to go to a hotel in Xincheng District on time to meet with a man named Feng Kuantong. The relevant introduction was only one sentence: a member of the Military Theory Faction. Then indicate: everything is up to him.

Although the Military Theory Faction is also an extremist organization, it has a good record of obeying the law. In the initial investigation, Third Uncle did not even include it on the list, but now he sent an investigator to contact it.

The task was conveyed by the assistant and the content was written on a piece of paper. Lu Linbei did not see his third uncle, and even if he did, he would not get any more prompts, so he accepted the task and received a car.

He didn't let himself take any time off. He first bought some clothes and necessities online, delivered them all to the diplomatic apartment, and then drove to the old city to check the situation.

The garbage on the streets is being cleared, and the progress is not very fast. After many days of accumulation, it is mixed with daily waste and emits a stronger smell than on the island. Peripheral workers must wear full protective clothing, and only fully automatic vehicles with robots able to enter the scene.

With nothing worth looking at, Lu Linbei drove away, trying not to think about Chen Manchi's current situation.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Lu Linbei arrived at the designated hotel early.

There were almost no customers in the store at this time. Lu Linbei reported Feng Kuantong's name and was taken to a table by the window by the waiter.

The hotel looks good, with all manual services. Looking out the window, you can see a quiet bay.

It is completely isolated from the garbage island, and there is no smell.

Feng Kuantong arrived a few minutes later than the agreed time. He was a young man in his twenties and thirties. He looked like a rich man. After taking his seat, he looked at Lu Linbei and then said with a smile, You must not be named Mei.

My surname is Lu, Lu Linbei.

Third uncle has his own reasons for sending you here, okay. Did he say why he wanted you to come?

It was the first time that Lu Linbei heard someone calling him Third Uncle. He was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. He shook his head and replied: No, my mission is very simple. I'm here to see you. I'll let you arrange the rest.

Uncle San has always been like this. He controls the overall situation, and the people below him can only do things that have no beginning or end. My task is also very simple. I come here to meet a person and then take him to a seminar. Do you know anything about military affairs? Are you interested?

It's okay. I paid attention to it for a while in middle school.

The passionate boyhood. Feng Kuantong gave a perfunctory smile, At least you can listen. Are you hungry?

Lu Linbei shook his head.

Then we won't eat here, sit down for a while and then set off.

good.

The two of them had nothing to say, and both looked towards the bay in the distance.

Lu Linbei's mind was going back and forth between public and private affairs. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. There was actually a person who could directly provide help. Of course, he was not surprised at all why he had not thought of this person before.

Lu Linbei nodded to Feng Kuantong opposite, got up and went to the bathroom. As soon as he entered, he entered the game mailbox through the chip in his body and sent a short letter to Mao Kongshan:

I urgently need Professor Qiao’s contact information, thank you.
