Hendry was sent to the hospital and Lu Ming was also arranged to go to 412.
Among the 15 directors, there must be one who lives in a single room, and that is the director of the 15th District of 412, named Thorn Pate.
The fifteenth district is the White Fang City area. The West Black Mountain Fort Volunteer Army once resisted the border defense division of the Sonya National Defense Force in the White Fang area for nearly a month.
Thorne is a middle-aged military officer in his forties. He is very deep and doesn't talk much. He is completely different from Hendry.
At around eleven o'clock in the evening, Lu Ming suddenly opened his eyes. He was dealing with some things in Japan.
But the phone next to him kept ringing. Thorne picked it up and handed the receiver to me, saying it was for me.
"Director Bit, I'm in the small bar on the fifth floor. Do you have time?" The voice was delicate and sweet. It was the same voice that called to inform Lu Ming to come to South Funia for the meeting. It was Candice.
"Oh, I'll be right there!" Lu Ming got up and put on his clothes.
…
The small bar on the top floor has flickering neon lights, creating a very ambiguous atmosphere.
In the semi-enclosed sofa tearooms, when Lu Ming found Candice, she was slowly sipping a colorful cocktail in her glass.
Lu Ming ordered a fruit wine at random. After the waiter brought the wine and left, Lu Ming said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I can only tell the truth to Minister Macaron."
Candice slowly swirled the cocktail in her glass and looked at Lu Ming again. "If you were a trained agent, based on the conversation and behavior between Hendry and I at the time, you should be able to easily determine that leaning towards me would be more beneficial to you."
Lu Ming said helplessly: "If I lie to Minister McAlong, I will be exposed. I looked into his eyes and knew he could see through me." He paused, "Besides, I haven't received any special agent training..."
Candice's long brown eyelashes fluttered, and there was an elusive smile in her deep eyes. "You don't dare to lie to Minister Macaron? In fact, I'm curious, since you haven't received any special agent training, then how did you find out about the intelligence station in Baoyue City? Did you really find the flaw of the store owner as you said in your report?"
Lu Ming was silent.
"Now, tell me the true details of what happened." Candice said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "This was also the order of Minister McCarron, because I had a hunch that something was wrong with you. I have reported it to Minister McCarron, and the minister has given me the second review of you. Every time before taking over a more important responsibility in our organization, a second review will be conducted, but you are a temporary appointment. The files of your officer corps were attacked during the mail truck transportation. So, before you were appointed, you just called Bart University and Frieda Military Academy, where you graduated, to confirm that there were no discrepancies in the files you filled out. During your school years, you were an activist. That's how you passed the review."
Candice smiled and said, "But I felt something was wrong with you, so I started your second investigation. Now, your fate is in my hands..." As she spoke, she stretched out her slender white hand and clenched her fist, but on the back of her hand, there was a hideous black spider tattoo.
Lu Ming said helplessly: "What's wrong with me?" In his heart, he was already on high alert.
Candice smiled meaningfully. "You don't know who I am, or what I've been through. My intuition has never been wrong, and this is a talent that an excellent agent must have." She added, "So, tell me, how did you find that intelligence station? Tell the truth."
Lu Ming's expression changed again and again, and he said, "Everything I said in the report is true."
"Then say it again." Candice stared at Lu Ming with her deep blue eyes, and her expression gradually became serious.
Lu Ming looked a little flustered, but he was thinking in his heart that he would definitely be exposed during the second review. After all, as long as the original file was faxed over, his appearance would be different from the real Bit.
If I kill this guy now, I will be exposed faster, and the plan to attack South Funia the day after tomorrow will have to be completely changed.
Now we are retreating after killing a lot
"Forget it!" Candice shook her head. "It seems you won't tell the truth either."
"I really don't want you to become my enemy because you're so funny." Candice reached out for the waiter to refill her wine.
"Me, interesting?" Lu Ming was surprised. In fact, he really didn't know why he attracted Candice's special attention to him.
"I am a listener. I can listen to people's voices, listen to the voices in their hearts." Candice took the wine brought by the waiter. The waiter also heard what she said, and obviously felt that she was drunk, so he shook his head and left.
"Really?" Lu Ming smiled.
"But, from the time I was three years old until now, it's only when I'm with you that I feel nothing! It's as if your heart is blank!" Candice stared at Lu Ming with interest, "Why are you so special? Do you know the reason?"
"I shot Hendry not just because of his frivolous behavior, but because I could feel his malice and see the dirty images in his mind, so I couldn't stand it."
"Oh, wait, give me your hand..." Candice suddenly thought of something.
Lu Ming hesitated for a moment and then reached out his hand.
Candice placed her hand on Lu Ming's palm and slowly closed her eyes.
Lu Ming was suddenly startled, and saw that the hideous black spider on the back of Candice's hand seemed to suddenly jump off from the back of her hand, and black air filled the air, crawling towards his arm.
But if you look closely, the black spider tattoo is still on the back of Candice's hand, and it seemed like an illusion just now.
Candice shook her head helplessly at this time and opened her eyes, "I still can't hear your voice."
Lu Ming gradually developed murderous intent in his heart. There was no doubt that the secret world of Central Plains was not a special existence. Western people with supernatural powers also had a tradition that continued to this day. They were the alchemists that Biju and the others mentioned.
Candice must be one of them, a kind of mind reader.
Of course, no one knows how their ancestors' mind-reading skills worked, but at least as passed down to the present day, they should be able to roughly sense the other person's thoughts, whether they are kind or malicious, rather than really knowing what the other person is thinking. Otherwise, the resistance forces in the Western Regions would have been wiped out long ago.
"Do you believe I can read minds?" Candice suddenly looked at Lu Ming in disbelief.
Lu Ming shrugged and still said nothing.
"General Macaron didn't believe I could read minds, and thought I was unwilling to pass on my talents to other agents." Candice raised her glass, "Come on, let's have a drink. This is the first time I've met someone who believes I'm not a lunatic!"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I've seen too many crazy people." He clinked glasses with her.
Candice giggled and drank the wine in the glass. She said, "The people you brought are full of hostility towards you, or rather, full of hostility towards us. You were not killed because you are still useful in their eyes. When you go back, you must deal with them as soon as possible and find out their boss behind the scenes. If you do it here and rely on General Macaron to capture them, you will become a fool who is often mentioned as a joke in the First Control." Looking at Lu Ming, "It seems that you know they are your enemies. Do you have other plans?"
He nodded, thoughtfully, "It seems that the intelligence station was cracked, but you don't want to tell us the details. Allowing these malicious elements to get close to you is also part of your plan?"
Lu Ming was too lazy to put on fake expressions, so when he heard Candice say that William and the others hated him, he didn't pretend to be surprised.
"Are you a secret agent sent by the New Newman City? General McCarron doesn't even know your true identity? Are you here to carry out a secret mission?" Candice chuckled and was also observing Lu Ming's subtle expressions.
Lu Ming raised his glass: "Let's drink."
"Okay!" Candice and Lu Ming clinked their glasses.
"No matter who you are, don't think you can kill me to silence me." Candice suddenly smiled. "If something happens to me, all my suspicions about you will be turned into a thick file and faxed to New Newman City. General Cameron is just one of my supervisors, and what I say to you now has been recorded. It is now being listened to by my most trusted friend somewhere outside!" Candice gently picked up the microphone on the phone next to her, unscrewed the receiver, pulled out a small bug from it, and smiled, "She should be gone by now."
Nowadays, wireless eavesdropping devices are very crude, and wired eavesdropping is still the main method. It just so happened that there were several tea tables in this bar equipped with telephones, and Lu Ming and Candice were sitting at the tea table with the telephone.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "You think too much of me. Generally speaking, I will not assassinate anyone who has clinked glasses with me to take their life."
"I hope you are telling the truth, and I hope we are not enemies." Candice raised her glass and smiled, "To avoid being assassinated by you, let's drink again!"
