Chapter 9 Colleagues and Adversaries


"A double agent is someone you will definitely meet in the future, for sure.
" When the third uncle said these words, he did not raise his fingers to emphasize it as usual, but piled his tall and thin body on the chair, his eyes lowered, like He is confessing his guilt and confessing, "Don't be deceived by them, but don't be too emotional, make full use of their value, and then do whatever you want. Don't be too harsh on them, because—that double agent might be yours friends, and even yourselves."

483 is not only the number of the group, but also the exclusive "code word" between the group leader and the group members. Even the top boss does not know it. It is not arranged in order, but randomly selected. If two groups happen to have the same name, Then both parties will never find out.

It should be so.

Therefore, when an unfamiliar voice who was obviously not Mei Qianzhong shouted out this number, the confusion of the two people in the room could be imagined. The word "double agent" appeared in their minds at the same time, and they felt that they had been betrayed.

"We are friends." The voice outside said again.

Mei Qianzhong had specially instructed that no one could be trusted, not even the acquaintances of the farm and the superiors in the organization.

The two looked at each other, Lu Yezhou turned to look for the kitchen knife, while Lu Linbei hid by the wall to avoid being shot outside the door.

"Lao Bei, Ye Zi, don't be stupid, the enemy won't be as polite as us."

People outside even know their nicknames.

Lu Yezhou ran back with the knife and asked with a wink what to do.

Lu Linbei hesitated for a moment and reached out to open the door.

"Do you want to contact Lao Qian first?" Lu Yezhou asked in a low voice.

Lu Linbei shook his head. He had a feeling that it was better to obey the orders from outside. The two of them were just low-level spies who had just entered the industry. They didn't have information or weapons, so they couldn't protect themselves at all.

The door opened a little, and Lu Linbei saw a man of his age, dressed in fashionable and neat clothes, and smiling at him with a striking wide face.

The door was opened a little further, and a second man appeared, also in his twenties, dressed in sportswear, as if he had just returned from a run, with his hands in his pockets, his expression gloomy, and his eyes did not look at anyone.

"Rest assured, we have no ill will, and I can tell you that we are—'family'."

I don't know if it's a different tone or a wrong look, but the word "family" that came out of people's mouth sounds a little weird, like an apprentice mage who has not yet completed his studies, rushing out a magical spell, and hoping that it will Effective immediately.

At this point, Lu Linbei had no choice but to take two steps back and let the door open.

Just as Kuan Lian was about to enter the room, the gloomy face beside him reminded, "Let the people behind the door come out first."

He stopped with a wide face and smiled: "I suggest negotiation. Force is not the best way to solve the problem."

Lu Yezhou walked out angrily and threw the kitchen knife into the kitchen.

The two guests entered the room, looking around with wide faces, "It's the same as when I lived, nothing has changed. I picked that sofa, how is it, is it comfortable?"

"It's not the worst." Lu Linbei said, "Please take a seat."

The wide face was not polite, he walked to the sofa and sat down, adjusted his sitting posture, and pushed the microcomputer and peripherals to the side.

During the period, the other three were standing, with gloomy faces closing the door, guarding the door, like a bodyguard, Lu Linbei stood opposite the wide-faced, staring at his every move, Lu Yezhou had his back to the kitchen, no one looked at him, He usually talks a lot, but at times like this, he would rather let others dominate everything.

The wide face was finally satisfied with the sitting position. Seeing that the other three were still, there was a hint of surprise on his face, and then he smiled and said, "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my surname is Ding, and my name is Ding Pulun. You probably don't know me, I am in He works in the Emergency Department of the General Administration of Meteorology and is an intermediate analyst."

Lu Linbei and Lu Yezhou looked at each other, unable to completely hide the surprise in their hearts.

The Emergency Department of the General Meteorological Bureau of the Zhai Wangxing Joint Committee, this is what the Mei family calls an "organization". Find useful sections.

There was a teacher who was optimistic about Lu Linbei, thinking that he should be an analyst, but unfortunately, only children with the real surname are qualified.

But now, a guy whose surname is neither Mei nor Lu actually claims to be an analyst, and he is an intermediate analyst. Generally speaking, people who achieve this level are at least forty years old.

"As I said, we are a 'family'." Ding Pulun pointed his finger to his companion at the door, "This is Mr. Cui Zhuning, an investigator from the Information Department of the General Administration of Meteorology, so he can be considered a family."

Lu Linbei and Lu Yezhou were even more surprised. Although they both belonged to the General Meteorological Administration, the Emergency Department and the Information Department were not "family", but were incompatible enemies. As the two official intelligence organizations, half of each other's strength was used to investigate each other.

Cui's position in the Information Division is like that of Mei's in the Investigation Division, and it belongs to the authentic lineage.

The appearance of a mid-level analyst with no surname Mei and an investigator surnamed Cui co-appeared, and the shock to the two novice spies was no less than a living human being suddenly told that it was a robot.

"It's impossible." Lu Yezhou blurted out.

Dimplon nodded, "It's really hard to believe, but it's a fact, we don't need to lie about this kind of thing. Let's sit down, Mr. Cui, don't be too nervous. Since it's a negotiation, it's best Build a good relationship from the start.

Lu Linbei silently moved the only two dining chairs, and sat side by side with the reluctant Lu Yezhou across from the sofa, keeping as far away as possible from the "guests".

Cui Zhuning walked slowly and sat on the armrest of the sofa with his legs apart, his hands still in his pockets, as if he was holding a weapon.

"Let's get started." Ding Prun turned back to the guest and took control of the whole situation. "There is no need to be too serious. After all, we are a family. Let's start with small talk. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Lu Yezhou closed his mouth tightly.

Lu Linbei thought for a while and asked, "Since it's a 'family', is there anything we can't say clearly and need to negotiate?"

"Yes, yes, it shouldn't be called negotiation, but I'm afraid I can't say it clearly. It's all for your own good. In our line of business, the less you know, the more complete it is."

"The less we know, the safer, and the more you know, the happier you are."

"Haha, spies are different from spies. After all, you are newcomers..."

Sitting on the armrest of the sofa, Cui Zhuning was a little impatient and interjected, "Why bother? Be direct, and both parties can worry about it."

"Ah, anyway, the three of us are colleagues from the Emergency Department... Well, let's talk about it." Dimplon leaned back and nodded comfortably to the two people on the opposite side.

"It's very simple." Cui Zhuning's eyes were full of threats. "Strictly speaking, this matter has nothing to do with you. It's just to borrow your place. As long as you are honest and sit like this, there is nothing to do."

Cui Zhuning seemed to feel that his eyes and words were not enough. He took out a gun from his right pocket. This is a real standard pistol, not a spy's one-word arrow. It has more bullets, a longer range and greater power.

Seeing the gun, Ding Prun, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, showed a bit of a twist, moved his legs, and persuaded: "Mr. Cui, there is no need for this, I believe these two will not be stupid."

Lu Yezhou lowered his head and didn't look at anyone, bit his lip as if to speak, but in the end he didn't speak.

Lu Linbei was also a little guilty, but not as panicked as he expected.

There are some things that can make people mature quickly after experiencing it once. The crisis of life and death is one of them, at least for Lu Linbei. The assassination encountered in the street before has caused fear and drove away a lot of fear.

"It's really not necessary." Lu Linbei tried his best to keep his voice calm, and stared at Cui Zhuning's eyes instead of the pistol, "You are here to find a thousand weights, and if you have something to say to him, we are neither qualified nor capable. put one's oar in."

Dimplon gave a short laugh, "He guessed it."

Cui Zhuning put away the pistol, "Very good."

The two sides were silent for a while.

As a mid-level intelligence analyst, Ding Pulun seems to have not received complete espionage training, and was the first to break the silence, "Although you may not care, I still have to explain one more thing: Mr. Cui and I are completely temporary. I'm still a member of the Emergency Department. Of course, I don't participate in the open and secret fights between the Mei family and the Cui family. I only do my job and work for the Star Federation Committee, but I will never help outsiders. "

Lu Linbei and Lu Yezhou hummed at the same time, but there was an idea in their hearts, no matter how good the reason, this Ding Plun will never stay in the emergency department after the incident. The best outcome for him is to save his life.

"How long?" Dimplon asked.

"Less than ten minutes." Cui Zhuning replied.

"Should we prepare?"

"Well, let's arrange these two first." Cui Zhuning stood up.

Ding Pulun waved his hand, "I don't think so, they have been very cooperative. They are all colleagues from the Emergency Department. I don't want to be too embarrassed to see you in the future. You two, no matter what happens later, you won't make trouble suddenly, will you? ?"

"No." Lu Yezhou lowered his head and replied.

"You want revenge?" Lu Linbei asked more.

"How can it be so serious." Dimplon smiled and stood up, "it's just negotiation, no, it's just talking, and clarifying some things. At that time, you may be wronged to go to another room for a while, and there is definitely no danger to your life. Whether it's you or Mei Qianzhong. You call him Lao Qian, right? I know him very well, and we can be said to be friends. So don't worry, it's really just borrowing your place."

"The emergency department is not big enough?" Lu Linbei asked rhetorically.

"Haha, you are a very interesting person. The place is definitely big enough, but some things can only be said outside, because things are too complicated, really too complicated. Sometimes I envy you newcomers, who know less and don't have to worry so much. , unlike us, alas, a headache. Times have changed, push it forward for another five years, whether it is the emergency department or the information department, everyone is fighting hard, but abiding by the rules, it will not cause human life. Intelligence should be An easy job, who would have thought it would get to where it is today?"

Ding Pulun was filled with emotion. Cui Zhuning had already walked to the door and stood aside, where Lu Yezhou usually stood. He took out his pistol and prepared to shoot.

After chatting for a long time, Ding Pulun raised his hand, hesitated a little, and pointed to Lu Yezhou, who didn't talk much, "You will answer the door later. As for the other Mr. Lu, please sit down and don't make any noise, although it is a colleague. , if you make trouble, I can only play by the rules. Please let us work together to resolve this matter satisfactorily without using hands or guns, okay?"

Lu Linbei nodded.

Dimplon was not satisfied, "I don't understand the meaning of nodding."

"Okay, I won't make trouble." Lu Linbei was forced to speak, full of frustration and humiliation, even more than his worries about Mei Qianzhong.
