Spy Family

(Thanks to the leader: for destroying the dust for Bing Da Shou, Ryankim, Immortal Monkey, Kuangsha Blade, nocrykyle, and Xu Chu)

Chen Manchi's girlhood was full of wandering and turmoil. She met good people and bad people. Life taught her a truth: you need companions, but you also need to hide yourself.

In order to integrate into a wanderer group, she began to come into contact with life magic, and gradually became immersed in it. She felt that she had found a thread that could connect everything that had happened and would happen in the future, giving her wandering some solid meaning.

She continued to wander, learning a little bit here and a little bit there, until she went to King Zhao, where she formally became a disciple and systematically learned fortune-telling.

The biggest specialties of Zhaowangxing are its rich mineral resources and its flourishing metaphysical tradition. The former attracts buyers and the latter attracts tourists.

Chen Manchi returned to the sea like a fish, but after completing her studies, she discovered that there were too many fish here, and she could only be regarded as a small fish, and it was difficult for her to settle down here.

She plans to save a sum of money to go to the Kings, which is a more magical planet that started with the technological era. It only takes less than a hundred years to throw away the technology of the earth era and turn around to embrace primitive life. , relying solely on extraterrestrial input to barely maintain the operation of Guangye Farm.

Chen Manchi has always had a good impression of the Kings, but it is difficult to buy tickets there and the price is very high. If he wants to save enough money, he has to find another way.

"Since you can find my information, I have nothing to hide. Sometimes we work together to swindle money. The main targets are tourists. They are often rich and don't want to talk about scandals. My role is to lure the target. I use my identity as a fortune teller or a tourist to make them believe that there will be a romantic encounter. At this point, my mission is completed and I can disappear and wait for the money."

"disappear?"

"Yes, the whole incident will be fully packaged, and it will look a bit supernatural and completely unexpected. You know, many men do this, thinking that there are adventures besides romance. I don't know much about the subsequent operations. In short, the target will be Spend a lot of money until you finally board the boat and go home.”

Lu Linbei laughed, "Alien stars, strange people, and strange things are indeed very attractive."

"Most of the time, the target does not persist until the end of the trip. When the money is spent to a certain extent, they will become alert and start to have suspicions. We will not press hard to avoid attracting the police."

"Are you always in the same group?"

"No, no, the participants are different almost every time. It is a... circle. Most of them are wanderers. They join together when they have no money. Each has its own division of labor and the methods are exactly the same everywhere. I am a member of this circle. Let's go. You meet them everywhere you go.”

"Were you discovered by Guan Zhuqian during the scam?"

"Yeah. We deceived a guy with some background in Zhaowangxing. The person in charge of asking for money was too greedy. The target noticed the abnormality in advance and called the police. The police in Zhaowangxing were minding their own business, but team leader Guan showed up, and we didn't even get a share of the money. She caught them all in one fell swoop.”

Lu Linbei could imagine that for Guan Zhuqian, who had multiple identities, it was extremely easy to solve such a small case. What made him wonder was why she would take action, "What is the name of the guy who was deceived?"

"Zhao Didian, the Emperor of Emperors, is a classic Dian, but I think it is a fake name, because he also claims to be from King Zhao, but we can tell at a glance that he is an alien tourist. I also pretended to be a tourist to get to know him. He is He's not a nice person. He's gentle on the surface, but becomes rude as soon as we get to know each other, so I quit early. Do you recognize this person?"

"Never heard of it." Lu Linbei shook his head and kept the name in his heart.

"I am willing to admit defeat. Now that we have been found out, we are all waiting to go to jail. Anyway, we have been there before." Chen Manchi wanted to make an indifferent expression, but the result was that his inner panic was revealed.

The two of them had left the rest area and were walking on the lawn facing the gentle breeze, gradually heading towards the forest.

"Did Guan Zhuqian threaten you?"

"She has great powers and has all the police records of us, including cases that have been reported to the police but have never been solved. She interrogated me alone, laid out the cases one by one, and then said that I would stay in jail for the rest of my life. I...I begged her for forgiveness, was willing to hand over all my money, and vowed never to participate in this scam again."

Chen Manchi's lips trembled slightly. She was really afraid of Guan Zhuqian. Although she had never been violently treated, the fear was deeply rooted in her bones.

There were several chairs at the edge of the forest. Lu Linbei chose one and asked Chen Manchi to sit down while he remained standing.

"After a few days, Team Leader Guan became kind and said that she saw that I was young and that I had the potential she needed, so she invited me to join her organization. I was extremely surprised to hear that she was a spy..."

"Where did she say she was a spy?"

"First Light Industry Group also said that she is occasionally seconded to the Star Alliance, so she is also considered an official spy."

"Yeah." Lu Linbei felt there was no need to reveal Guan Zhuqian's true identity.

"I had no choice but to accept it. She sent me to a school attended by the group in Zhaowangxing to receive basic training. She didn't care if I didn't get good grades. But I felt that I really couldn't do this. I practiced for a long time. I had just learned this fortune-telling expression, and suddenly I had to learn more expressions, and I... I couldn't manage it. So Team Leader Guan made an agreement with me, and I completed a designated task on Zhai Wang Planet, and she paid me. And a ticket to the King of Kings. I happened to have never been to King Zhai, so I agreed."

"It's that simple?"

"It's easy to say, and... you'd better not talk to me in this tone and manner."

Lu Linbei unknowingly thought that he was the interrogator again, showing an apologetic smile, "You tell me, I won't interrupt."

"Just looking at it won't do. To be honest, sometimes you are scary."

Lu Linbei cast his gaze into the distance, "Is this okay?"

"Well." She held his hand and asked him to sit next to her. "It's not that I'm really afraid of you, it's just that..."

"I see."

"Some things are easy to say. Team Leader Guan is very... skilled. On King Zhao, she often took me with her to let me see her abilities and abilities. Really, she could send me to prison at any time. , or kill him directly." Chen Manchi turned his head and looked towards the forest, shuddering slightly.

"Everyone has an opponent, and Guan Zhuqian is no exception. If you can do whatever you want, you don't need to be a spy." Lu Linbei has never completely let go, but he can control his emotions and not look around.

He needed to calm down, and so did she.

"That's right. If you are so capable, why can't you just do it? Why do you have to come up with a complicated plan and let people like me help?" Chen slowly smiled, fully believing that the people around him were really not afraid. Guan Zhuqian said, "I came to King Zhai with only one mission, to...seduce a person at the specified time, just like I have done before, but I didn't know who the target was until I received the mission a few days ago. As for you, Team Leader Guan asked me to do a favor, it doesn’t count as a task.”

Lu Linbei was still looking into the distance, but there were some things he had to ask: "You seemed a little afraid of this task before."

"Yes, because... Team Leader Guan revealed something to me. I guess she wanted me to prepare in advance. She said that this seduction is different from before. I have to... stay with the target for a period of time. She didn't say how long. , I didn’t say what I was going to do specifically, I had to wait for her order. What I was afraid of was this, because our scams were very simple, and my steps were even simpler. We met by chance, chatted for a while, maybe had a meal, and hinted at me. There is danger, and then you can disappear. I don't like to stay with the target. You may find it strange, but to me, there is a line in the middle. On this side of the line, the scam is more like a game. On the other side of the line, It's a crime. Of course, the police and the courts don't think so, but that's what I think."

"The police and the courts are not always right." Lu Linbei originally wanted to explain the difference between misdemeanors and felonies, but when the words came to his lips, he changed them to this sentence.

Chen Manchi smiled again, looking much more relaxed, "I received the task two days ago, and the steps were the same as before. I pretended to be a tourist and stayed by the roadside. Team leader Guan said that the target would definitely pass by there. If he stopped, Ask, if the first step of the plan is successful, if she doesn't stop, she will devise other chance encounters."

"Success on the first try?"

"Well... the first step is always successful. I have never encountered failure." Chen Manchi looked a little confused rather than proud, "Cheng Toushi is more reserved and invites me to have dinner at the Diplomatic Building every night - —The things there are really expensive. Team leader Guan told me not to worry. I will refuse the invitation, accept it after two times, continue to refuse it two or three times, and act like I want to go back to Zhao Wangxing, and then... I will You have to stay with him and wait for the next order from Team Leader Guan. As a result, you and that woman showed up."

Chen Manchi wanted to make a helpless expression, but couldn't control it well. Instead, he showed a smile, "Is that woman Ru Hongshang?"

"Yes, do you know her?"

"Who doesn't know her? When I was a child, I regarded her as my number one idol. I didn't expect to meet her under such circumstances. How did you know her? Still... like that."

"In our industry, we have to know everyone." Lu Linbei boasted a little, and then told the truth, "She just needed a tool at that time. She would kiss any man standing there."

"I don't mean anything else, she is still so beautiful." Chen Manchi said with emotion.

She actually didn't know the similarities between herself and the female star. Lu Linbei decided not to mention it, "What plans does Guan Zhuqian have for me?"

"I don't know, she just wanted to establish contact with you, but when we did, she didn't give me any orders."

"It was your idea to rent with me?"

"Yes, I thought at the time that since my identity has been exposed, I might as well live with you, because Mrs. Hongque doesn't know anything about it, and I don't want to implicate her. As for you, I think... I thought..."

"You can tell the truth, I can bear it." Lu Linbei said with a smile.

"You are a bit stupid. I have never seen anyone like you. He was so scared and ran away after hearing the first words I said. So I am not afraid of you and think I will be safe with you. I was careless. You showed that look later, but I'm still not afraid of you in person, because..."

"Still a little silly?"

Chen slowly laughed, "Yeah."

"I had to keep asking."

"You ask, I'll tell you everything, everything."

Lu Linbei suddenly understood how Third Uncle and Mei Qianzhong felt when they were trying to win over their subordinates. It was indeed satisfying to win the other party's full trust, as if they had an extra head and six arms, and their strength was greatly increased.

But he can't get rid of the sense of responsibility, which is much stronger than the "satisfaction heart".

"You said 'disappearing' was a step in the scam."

"What's the last step for me and the first step for those who want the money is going to be started."

"You 'disappeared' in front of me."

"I... am going on a mission." Chen Manchi did not understand the meaning of Lu Linbei's words.

"The person in charge of the plan is Guan Zhuqian. She allowed you to contact me and then suddenly disappeared in front of me. I have to think that she has another purpose, but she hasn't told you yet." Lu Linbei turned his gaze from a distance He took it back and looked at Chen Manchi, "I probably broke her plan in advance. She won't let us two go."

Chen slowly raised his feet and said, "You can worry about it, I'm not afraid."
