There is never free bread in this world. The so-called democracy and rights are relative and have been strictly divided according to nationality and race. And behind all the beauty and wealth on this planet is a bloody struggle. A nation that strives to catch up not only needs to study hard to move forward, but also needs to risk its life and set foot on dangerous peaks to find shortcuts. And such shortcuts are often surrounded by layers of fences and traps.
Cultivating an excellent espionage officer is a complex and long process, but sacrifice often only requires a tiny mistake and a short moment. Such sacrifices are sometimes valuable, but they are also accompanied by great tragedy and deep helplessness. They are in a foreign land with them, burdened with heavy responsibilities and tremendous pressure. If they succeed, no one will remember their names. Failure often means death and forced abandonment, and will never be officially recognized.
In North America, the flight landed. Li Muye, wearing sunglasses, walked out of the aisle and was met by the affectionate and resentful eyes of Margaret.
The National Aquarium in Baltimore has five floors of exhibition halls and several huge pools and water tanks, displaying more than 5,000 aquatic creatures. The advanced technology used in the museum allows the audience to have the feeling of roaming on the sea floor and dancing with fish and shrimp when visiting. It can be called a "Crystal Palace" that shows people the mysteries of the underwater world.
Li Muye was walking among them when he came face to face with an ordinary-looking young man. As he passed by, he said "see you at the door."
Five minutes later, at the gate.
"Are you Mr. Li who was sent from your hometown?" The young man looked at Li Muye's valuable clothes with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Li Muye Yile: "Are you dressing a little too showy?"
The young man said: "You don't look like people in our line of work."
Li Muye said: "Experts in your field have proven that they can't do it, otherwise why would I need to make this trip?"
The young man frowned slightly and said: "Mr. Li, it's not that I don't trust your ability, nor do I mean to question Director Chen's vision. It's just that I have to explain some things to you before taking action. The most important thing in our industry is success." Rate, chances are often only once, if you are not sure, you would rather not try.”
Li Muye smiled and said, "It seems you still don't trust my abilities."
The young man said: "Mr. Li, my colleagues and I are engaged in a highly professional industry. In principle, we do not believe in any so-called personal ability."
Li Muye shrugged slightly and said: "It's a pity that you have no choice like me. Okay, I have said what you want to say. Now tell me where you are and what the situation is. You don't need your team for other things." Worry about it.”
Opposite the aquarium is a three-masted battleship "Constellation" moored. It was one of the warships built in the early days of the United States. It was launched in Baltimore in 1797 and has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats at sea. After decommissioning, a museum was built in the Port of Baltimore, where it originally set sail, and was listed as a national cultural relic in 1961.
"The people are locked up in the base below. The entrance is hidden in the non-tourist area of the warship. On the surface, the defense is very lax, but in fact the security level is beyond imagination." The young man introduced to Li Muye: "She came here six years ago When she came to the United States, under the pseudonym Chu Xiang, she was admitted to the University of Maryland, College Park with excellent results, and then joined Professor Patterson's research team. Later, the projects of Patterson's team were included in the national defense budget, and she also joined the CIA."
"What you said is too simple, isn't it?" Li Muye said: "A Chinese student and a new immigrant, the CIA is crazy enough to recruit her to join?"
The young man said expressionlessly: "We paid some price. With her help, the CIA promptly evacuated many spies operating in China."
"Oh, it turns out it's a counter-intentional ruse plus a bitter flesh ploy." Li Muye nodded and said, "This is a bit interesting. If you continue to talk about it, how do you know she was exposed?"
"It's not certain that she was exposed, but we have lost contact for more than a month." The young man said, "The reason why we dare not act rashly is because we are not sure whether this is a trap to test her."
Li Muye said: "You mean you want me to confirm her situation?"
The young man said: "This is Director Chen's intention. We just hope that all our colleagues will be safe and sound."
Li Muye said: "So far, you can still walk freely in this country without being strictly monitored. This has at least shown one thing. She has not betrayed anyone. I personally prefer that she is only involved in the project now." Due to the need for confidentiality, personal freedom has been restricted. This kind of thing should be nothing new in your industry, right?"
"This is unusual in the United States." The young man said, "And as far as we know, other people in this project have not been subject to such strict restrictions."
"Okay." Li Muye said, "I will find a way to get inside to understand the situation. Just wait for my news."
The young man was a little worried: "You can't act recklessly. If you alert the snake, you might kill her."
Li Muye chuckled: "Cats have their own catwalks, mice have their own paths. We Jianghu people do things differently from you. Since Director Chen outsourced this job to me, it means that at least in her heart, I have something that you don't have." Special channels." After that, he walked away.
Chen Miao is a very scary woman. Her scary thing is that she can change her emotions anytime and anywhere, win trust and control people's hearts.
Li Muye overthrew the Taiping Society, but did not stay in the Evernight City to join forces with Li Zhonghua and his son. This fact reduced Chen Miao's hostility towards Brother Xiaoye to a certain extent, and at the same time increased Li Muye's utilization value in her heart. The tender and fragile side of motherhood she showed that night was indeed very touching. But Li Muye could feel the calmness in her heart. The most important reason why she suddenly made such a decision was that she did not want to push a strong enemy to Li Zhonghua's side.
After realizing Li Muye's potential power, the cards she could play were actually very few. That night, she mentioned the past many times, intentionally or unintentionally, but she actually wanted to create some kind of misunderstanding for Brother Xiaoye. Li Muye was not interested in the past at all. He knew very well that this temporary godmother did not have as deep feelings for him as she showed. Her biggest bargaining chip is to help Brother Xiaoye suppress the Taiping Society's revenge. For this reason, Li Muye is willing to act in a play with her.
Half of the reason for setting foot on North American soil again was to bring news about Zhang Na back to Shi Zhenzhen and his wife, and the other half was for the North Korean woman who had an ambiguous affair a long time ago.
After Jin Xiangji was adopted by Chu Qinchuan, she not only joined the industry again, she even went to the United States to perform tasks and infiltrated the naval scientific research base in Baltimore. Chen Miao said that she had been out of contact for a month and the situation was dire. The Foreign Affairs Bureau can do very little in this matter, and they are afraid that if they make a slight mistake, it will harm her. Second Sister Chen really had no other choice, so she thought of asking Brother Xiaoye to solve the problem.
Strictly speaking, this is a deal.
Chen Miao's meaning is very clear, you help me handle this matter, and I won't hold you accountable for the treasures of the Rat Kingdom. What she said was very arrogant, but what she did was very arrogant.
There are some things that you can see through but don’t tell. Everyone knows it and everything is kept secret. Li Muye happily accepted the task. In Brother Xiaoye's view, otherwise, the murder in the Rat Kingdom would be a simple murder case, and those treasures must belong to the country and the people. Chen Miao has countless ways to make Li Muye's bamboo basket come to nothing.
If you want to complete the tasks assigned by Chen Miao, you will definitely not be able to do it by force. But if you want to make Margaret happy, you have to do something hard.
Margaret's skin was still as delicate as milk. She was dripping with sweat and her eyes were confused. Her physical fitness is good, but after all, she does not have the precise control of a master level. After continuously unlocking multiple difficult postures in the White Lotus Sutra, she is exhausted.
Bai Wuxia was right. Margaret was a natural beauty, sensitive and passionate, and good at pleasing men. Being with her would not only help her survive death, but would also be of great benefit to Brother Xiaoye.
"Have you received the gift I gave you last month?" Li Muye hugged her and asked gently.
Margaret nodded lightly and said: "Yes, I like it very much, but it is too precious. I got it appraised by a professional. The probability of forming a fire gem is three hundred times lower than that of a diamond. So, then The value of a big one is immeasurable. Teacher, you are so kind to your little Margaret."
No matter how noble a woman is, she cannot refuse the charm of gems. They can categorically say they don't want it, but it's hard to say they don't like it.
Li Muye said: "As long as you like it, I thought of you first when I got it."
Margaret said: "It's just a little strange, why does the shape of the fire stone look like a shelf to put something? If so, then the thing placed on it must be a more priceless treasure, right?"
Li Muye shook his head decisively and said: "You're just being silly. How can such a precious thing be a shelf to put things on? It's a naturally formed shape."
Margaret smiled and said: "Actually, I don't mind even if it's just a show. After all, the value of this gem itself is an indisputable fact. It represents my value in your heart."
"No, no, no, it doesn't represent anything." Li Muye said, "You are priceless and there is no room for negotiation on this."
A sweet smile appeared on Margaret's lips, and she said softly: "Although I know that none of the words are true, it still makes me happy. Teacher, you are really a scumbag who is very good at coaxing girls. "
Li Muye said: "The reason why I gave that gem to you is just because it is the only one in the world, absolutely unique. You are you. There is a period of time in my life that belongs to you alone."
Margaret burst out laughing and said: "Teacher, you'd better go straight and coax me a few more words. I'm afraid I'll be too drunk to listen to the really important things. If that's the case, it's a shame for you to pay such a price." It’s worth it.”

"I have something I want to trouble you for help with." Li Muye said with a hard-to-speak expression: "If it's embarrassing, forget it. I don't want to cause you trouble because of my affairs. After all, there is an agreement between you and Bai Wuxia. Your primary client is her.”
Margaret said: "I just want to live well. She is my guide, but you are the one who helps me walk." She paused and then continued: "So, don't test me anymore. , I can clearly tell who is more important to me."
Li Muye thought for a while and said, "I want to meet someone."
"Who?" Margaret said, "If you just want to meet once, no matter who it is, it probably won't be a problem."
"Commander of the Baltimore Naval Base, General John Hogan." Li Muye asked directly: "How is it? Can you arrange it?" (End of Chapter)
