Spy Family

Lu Linbei stood in front of the gate, looking for the doorbell, when a man's voice came from above his head, You have intruded into private property, please leave immediately.

I'm here to see Ms. Ru. Lu Linbei took two steps back, still unable to find the source of the voice.

Do you have an appointment?

We never need to make an appointment when we investigate cases. Lu Linbei suddenly understood that it was impossible for him to enter the gate under normal circumstances, and the gatekeeper would not even inform him.

The pretended sternness indeed had some effect, and the man's voice became hesitant, Which department are you from? Why are you investigating the case alone?

Let Ms. Ru decide whether to see me or not. Lu Linbei simply turned around.

About five minutes later, the door opened slowly and automatically. Lu Linbei got in the car and drove in. He parked in front of the main entrance of the residence and was led into the small living room by the valet.

The photo of Ru Hongshang when she was seventeen was still there, and Lu Linbei stared at it for a while.

No one would confuse the young Ru Hongshang and Chen Manchi as the same person, but if you are familiar with both of them, when you see one, you will definitely think of the other. They have very similar temperament and style, especially Chen Manchi. After becoming cheerful late.

Cheerfulness or indifference, which one is Chen Manchi's true appearance? Lu Linbei couldn't tell.

The footman came in again and asked the guest to go to another room.

In a painting room on the second floor, Ru Hongshang was carefully applying paint to a painting. She was wearing a set of carefully designed work clothes, with her hair tied up, glasses, and flat soft shoes. Her image suddenly changed. The only thing that doesn't change is the mentality.

She still paints herself, a radiant star, younger and more energetic than she is in reality.

After Ru Hongshang finished adding color, she turned around, took off her glasses, and said with a smile: I remember you, a lovely young man who doesn't understand poetry. In fact, you don't need to pretend to investigate the case. I am always open to acquaintances. The front door. Please take a seat.

Lu Linbei glanced at the nearby chair but did not sit down. What I want to say is related to Mr. Cheng.

Then you should go to him and tell him that I never care about his business.

Do you know where he will go later?

Are you asking me? The famous Emergency Department can't find the assistant minister? Ru Hongshang raised her hand to put on her glasses again. It seemed that she had lost interest in this visit. The manservant who had been standing at the door was deeply moved. He knows what the host is thinking and is ready to step forward and ask the guest to leave.

Do you know who he wants to see? Lu Linbei continued to ask.

Ru Hongshang's body stiffened slightly, and the hand holding her glasses dropped down again. The manservant exited the room obediently and closed the door quietly.

I don't like people playing tricks on me.

When you were young, Cheng Toushi pursued you, right?

When you were young? Ru Hongshang's face darkened.

Cheng Toushi pursued you when he was young, right? Lu Linbei put it another way.

Of course, one of many suitors, but at that time our personalities were too different. He was bent on entering politics and wanted me to be a good wife, but I wanted to travel around the world. In the end, he became an official and I got tired of it. It was a coincidence. I became an actor, but he still didn’t give up, so we stayed together. We have an open relationship, with no restrictions on each other.”

Then things will be much simpler. Assistant Cheng seems to have found a replacement. I think he has regained his youth.

Ru Hongshang laughed several times, picked up the paintbrush, and said, Bless him for me, and please don't bother me painting again.

Lu Linbei said goodbye, turned around and walked out of the room. Under the escort of the male servant outside the door, he left the building, silently calculating in his mind, would Ru Hongshang call him back? If she wanted to act alone, should she stay outside the manor or go directly to the Diplomatic Building?

She was moved, and Lu Linbei was absolutely sure of it because she didn't put on her glasses first when she picked up the brush.

Lu Linbei got in the car and was ready to go to the Diplomatic Building to wait, but the car was stopped at the gate. He opened the car window and heard the voice of the valet above him, Miss Ru, please wait a moment.

After waiting for nearly fifteen minutes, a car drove up from a hundred meters away and parked at the back. Ru Hongshang, dressed in a full dress, got out of the car and entered Lu Linbei's car. Her beautiful face was as cold as ice.

drive.

Where to go?

Why come to me if you don't know where to go?

Lu Linbei started the car, and Ru Hongshang suddenly said: Is this what you're wearing?

What's wrong?

Go and change it.

no need.

It's necessary. Ru Hongshang was not used to arguing. She opened the door and got out of the car and said a few words to the manservant behind.

Lu Linbei had no choice but to get out of the car, got into the next car, and was taken back to the house. The valet personally selected the clothes and asked the guest to shave again and make his hair as docile as possible, without any room for argument.

It was a dress of good quality, and it actually fit her very well.

Lu Linbei was sent back to the gate and started the car again. Ru Hongshang looked at him and felt a little satisfied, Everyone should pay attention to appearance. Without appearance, you are nothing, just like a flower cannot live without flowers. , a tree cannot be without green leaves.”

Lu Linbei hummed, What are your plans?

Of course I'll be reasonable, bless him in person, and then... do whatever I want. I can find someone to replace him at any time.

I believe.

I still want to see what kind of silly girl he has in mind to replace me.

I admire your calmness. Lu Linbei followed her and said.

This is not calmness, but confidence. The poem behind my photo was written by him. He kept it for many years and returned it when we met again. I was moved and accepted his pursuit. Your first impression is more accurate, it is not a A good poem, but it can't even be considered a poem. Where does his sadness come from? He only has ambition and desire. Are you afraid of him?

Why should I be afraid of him?

Because... the director of your emergency department has to flatter him. I've seen him.

Maybe it's because my position is too low. I'm afraid of the team leader and a little bit of the department director, but I'm not afraid of the assistant minister.

Like the mouse eating the elephant in animal chess?

may be.

Haha, you are very interesting. I am not afraid of him. In fact, he is the one who wants me. The assistant minister's salary is used to support his wife and children. He himself is a pauper and often takes money from me.

Lu Linbei's heart moved, I believe many people will take the initiative to give money to the assistant minister.

Ha, this is all the imagination of you little people. You think you can do whatever you want if you have power. He is just an assistant. The minister takes his words seriously. He is just a person. If you don't take him seriously, he is nothing. Indeed. Someone gave him money, but he couldn't keep any of it, so he had to hand it over obediently.

Leave it to the minister?

Will the minister use him? Leave it to the family, the Huang family, have you heard of it?

Have heard a little bit.

The so-called big family, which is superficial and rotten to the core, has long been in deficit and is about to go bankrupt. It relies on a little political power in the family and can barely support itself by collecting bribes. I should find the media to expose these things. I know many media figures, including The two of them are quite handsome...

You have to reason with me.

That's right, it's reasonable. There's no need to break up. It's easy to get together and part ways, but he will never want to enter my house again. The photo... I will tear it up. No, no, give it back to him and let him have me. photos, but never me in person.”

Ru Hongshang talked a lot, and Lu Linbei occasionally replied a word or two, thinking about the aftermath.

When they arrived at the Diplomatic Building, it was almost eight o'clock. Ru Hongshang took Lu Linbei's arm and walked in. She walked very fast. A passerby recognized her and was left behind before she could speak.

In the lobby on the first floor, a waiter saw someone coming and turned to leave. Ru Hongshang said loudly: If you want to keep your job, just stand aside and mind your own business. Whisper the news? I'm talking about you.

The waiter who was seen hid behind others and did not dare to show his head until Ru Hongshang entered the elevator.

Ru Hongshang was obviously very familiar with this place, so she clicked on the seventeenth floor instead of the top-floor restaurant.

Completely different from the spaciousness of the top floor, a large number of real flowers, plants and artworks are used on the 17th floor to form casual partitions to protect the privacy of guests. The bustling old city can still be seen from the best locations.

When the restaurant manager saw Ru Hongshang, he was obviously taken aback, and then smiled. Just as he was about to say something, Ru Hongshang spoke first, If you don't report what you know, you will never be qualified to talk to me again in the future.

The manager's face turned pale. Ru Hongshang kept walking, holding Lu Linbei in her arms and striding toward the goal.

By this time, Lu Linbei had a vague premonition that Ru Hongshang's reasoning might be different from what he understood.

At a small table by the window, under the romantic or dim light, Cheng Toushi was sitting opposite Chen Manchi, talking quietly. On the table were half a bottle of wine and vegetables that Lu Linbei couldn't name. .

Cheng Toushi was kind and easy-going, even a little reserved. He put his right hand on the table and moved it intentionally or unintentionally. He was in the most subtle stage of testing, like those wild animals that meet friendly humans for the first time. Instinctively, Choosing between timidity and the temptation of food.

Turning his head and seeing Ru Hongshang, Cheng Toushi was stunned for a moment, as if he was a little beast that finally believed in humans. Just when he was about to take the last step, he discovered that there was a high probability of a trap hidden in front of him...

He was not as surprised as Chen Changchi. One moment he was wearing a gentle and admiring smile, and the next moment it was as if the whole world suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes...

You didn't even change places. Ru Hongshang said in her most gentle voice. In an instant, she was back on the set. The director, camera, lighting, and stage management were all serving her alone, and her The reward is a great performance, done in one take, without the need for retakes.

Ru Hongshang turned slightly, put her arms around Lu Linbei's neck, and gave him a deep kiss.

Lu Linbei's first kiss was taken away like this, and he was stunned, like a cat or dog that had eaten poisonous food. He immediately stiffened and was about to fall down the next moment.

Lu Linbei didn't fall down because this was not his set. There was only one starring actor at this moment. Ru Hongshang let go of him and pushed him gently, as if sending him out of the camera. Then he took a step forward and picked up the He took the wine glass, poured the remaining wine on Cheng Toushi's face, then raised his arm and slapped him hard, the sound echoing throughout the restaurant.

Even if he was caught by his first wife, Cheng Toushi had a way to deal with it, but when faced with the sudden appearance of Ru Hongshang, he had no ability to resist at all.

I will return your 'sadness' to you right now. Ru Hongshang looked for a weapon and turned around to see her replacement.

Lu Linbei was the first to react. He stepped forward and dragged Chen Manchi away. Hearing the crying, cursing, and the sound of breaking glass behind him, he never looked back. The people dining around him leaned over to watch, but he ignored them. .

The restaurant manager opened the elevator for them in advance. He was still in extreme shock and didn't ask a single word.

The elevator had already gone down two floors. Chen slowly came over, his face full of panic, I have to go back, I...

Your mission failed. Lu Linbei said coldly, It was a complete failure and there is no possibility of recovery.

Failed?

Um.

But……

There is no but. Lu Linbei looked into her eyes, trying to recall Nong Xingwen's half-hidden, half-flaming passionate gaze, Maybe we will be shot as soon as we walk out of the building, and maybe none of us will be able to see it. Until tomorrow's sunshine, the best possibility is that we will have to walk an extremely difficult road. But you don't have to be afraid, fate allows you to meet me, and I am your destiny.
