The wretched middle-aged man seemed to be very hungry. He swallowed the sausage in one gulp and sighed. "Damn, the stowaway spaceship doesn't provide airline meals. How shameless … Young man, where did you go just now? I'm starving to death."
Shi Qinghai gasped and said, "I went shopping with a friend."
"That little doorman called Xu Le?" The middle-aged man's mouth was still stuffed with sausage, so his words were a bit unclear. "Okay, take me to eat first."
Shi Qinghai smiled bitterly and led the middle-aged man to the restaurant on the third floor. He didn't need to check the secret code at all. The only person who could find him in a crowd, know that he had a friend called Xu Le, and be so wretched and ordinary that no one would want to take a second look at him. It could only be him.
In the quiet restaurant, Shi Qinghai stared at the middle-aged man across the table. He had already gotten rid of the shock. Yes, he would never have thought that the second in command of the anti-government forces, the one who gave the FBI and the Special Task Force so much headaches that they could not wait to devour his flesh and chew on his bones, was actually such a person. In the spy business, especially for high-level spies, the more ordinary the better. However, Shi Qinghai always felt that this man … was a bit ugly.
Shi Qinghai was a proud person. After getting rid of the shock, the first thing he said to his boss was not respectful. "Do you know how many people in the Federation want you dead?"
"Not many, only four people." The middle-aged man lowered his head and ate the noodles. He said vaguely, "The President, the Minister of Defense, the Director of the Special Task Force, the Director of the Federation Investigation Bureau … HTD only cares about wild rabbits. If the Bureau of Proclamation cared about me, I would have been dead long ago."
Shi Qinghai frowned slightly. After the mysterious aura of the person in front of him disappeared, it was hard for him to get used to it. At this time, he was actually in the mood to joke. It was really hard for him to bear. He couldn't help but say, "Do you know that if a person of your status suddenly appears in Linhai, I'm the one most likely to be killed? You're ranked second. "
After the middle-aged man finished his noodles, he raised his head with a smile and said, "If you're afraid of death, you'll come. If you're not afraid of death, I'll come with sincerity. Since I've entered this line of work, I can't be afraid of death... Old Eagle, you've done well these past few years. I believe that your arrangements will ensure my safety. "
Hearing the familiar yet strange codename of Old Eagle, Shi Qinghai's beautiful eyebrows furrowed even more. "I didn't prepare at all. How can I bring you into the dance to meet the crown prince?"
He looked at this A-rank wanted criminal of the Federation and felt that there was something familiar about that distorted face of his. He stared at the space between the other's brows and the corners of his eyes, saying, "Even if you change your appearance right now, it's still too dangerous."
Having his disguise seen through by Shi Qinghai, the middle-aged man smiled slightly and didn't care at all. He knew that the young comrade in front of him had his own pride. After a moment of silence, he said, "I believe that you've already prepared in such a short time."
Shi Qinghai sighed helplessly and handed over an invitation card. Like a magic trick, he took out a bag from his side and handed it over. "This is the invitation card and the clothes. The problem is … the field office has always kept a close watch on us employees. If you appear beside me like this and want to follow me into the dance, it'll be hard for others not to be suspicious. How do I introduce you to others? "
"You have a second uncle called Shi Da." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "From this moment onwards, I am Shi Da. He just finished an investigation on the ore planet in outer space and came back to find you. He'll also go to the dance while he's at it."
Shi Qinghai had almost forgotten what his uncle looked like. He asked, "Where's the real Shi Da?"
"He's still carrying out engineering experiments on the ore planet. If the information from the kids below is correct, he should be on his way to S3. Coincidentally, we can control that spaceship."
Shi Qinghai wasn't surprised by the man's meticulous arrangements. If the intelligence chief of the anti-government army made such a mistake, he wouldn't have been able to survive so many years under the pursuit of the Federation. After a moment of silence, he said, "I can bring you in, but whether or not you can see the crown prince is not up to me. You should know from the return receipt that until now, Ewha University has protected him very well. Other than the principal, no one has come close to him … not even the Zou family."
"Young man, sometimes when you're in contact with certain people, you don't have to beat around the bush. Perhaps the most direct method is also the most effective method." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I'm not a spy like you. I only think about things more directly."
Shi Qinghai stared at him blankly. He thought to himself, The most successful spy chief in the 37th Constitution of human society actually said that he wasn't a spy. If he hadn't heard it from this legendary figure himself, he would definitely have thought that this was a very bad joke.
"If you want to meet the heir of the Tai family, you can only use your real identity. After this is over, my identity will definitely be exposed … What does the organization plan to do with me?" When it came to the most crucial part, Shi Qinghai asked directly, "I don't want to face the wrath of the entire Federation Investigation Department."
"The people in the mountains have never had a channel to meet the people with real power in the Federation. After all, we are not people who can appear in public like Mr. Macklin," the middle-aged man said with a smile. "Now, this is an opportunity, and it's worth the risk. If the negotiation with the other party goes well, they will definitely use their family's power in the Federation to help us hide everything. If the negotiation doesn't go well … I don't think it will be possible for me to go back alive. If that's the case, it might not be a bad choice for you to accompany me to meet George Macklin. "
Shi Qinghai's expression changed. He didn't expect this leader of the anti-government army to say something like this. However, he immediately sensed something else from the man's words, especially when he referred to Mr. Macklin as "Mr. Macklin". "Mr. Macklin was the title of the internal organization of the anti-government army. He frowned and asked," The people in the mountains … can't hold on much longer? "
The middle-aged man still maintained his smile, but there was a sense of vicissitudes and sorrow in his smile. "The elections in the four states surrounding the mountains were successful. Mr. Macklin received a lot of support. The people who insisted on having their own armed forces … including me, are all feeling a little lonely. The Federal military is still preparing for the attack. If the situation continues to develop like this, I don't know how long the people in the mountains can hold on. "
Shi Qinghai was silent for a long time. He was very worried about the safety of his companions in the mountains, but he was more curious about what benefits the organization was trying to get by taking such a huge risk to send "him" to attend the coming of age ceremony of the successor of the Tai family. After a while, he gave up the urge to ask about the inside story and said seriously, "Thank you for telling me the truth."
"I believe in your loyalty to your beliefs."
"Beliefs don't mean loyalty. I just don't like this Federation." Shi Qinghai said with a smile, "Actually, I've always been very curious about how I should address you other than that too simple code name."
"You can call me a mountain person," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

…
Xu Le didn't know that tonight's Double Moon Festival Ball had become a stage for the people with high positions in the Federation to show themselves. It had even gradually evolved into a competition between the two anti-government forces. He also didn't know that the center of this whirlpool was the young man named Tai Zhiyuan. How could he have known that his friend was actually a big shot who could influence the entire Federation?
The ball was held in a quiet building in Ewha University. The green trees around the building were covered with a layer of frost. Under the illumination of the lights, they looked as beautiful as a jade palace. Xu Le was waiting for Shi Qinghai at the entrance, bored to death. He looked up at the sky and saw that the clouds in the sky had long disappeared. Countless stars surrounded the two round moons that were gradually approaching. The scenery was so empty that it made people even more worried.
Zhang Xiaomeng will appear at the ball with that congressman's son, right? Xu Le looked at the two round moons in the sky and thought with narrowed eyes. His heart was filled with an indescribable emptiness. If Shi Qinghai wasn't coming, perhaps he would have preferred to stay in the H1 area and continue the seemingly never-ending Level Six training. Of course, after what happened in the general gymnasium today, Xu Le wasn't sure if he would have a chance to enter the H1 area again.
Someone patted his shoulder. He turned around and was very happy to see Shi Qinghai's face. At the same time, he also noticed that under the other's casual expression, there was a hidden heaviness, and beside him … was a middle-aged man.
Shi Qinghai didn't want to meet Xu Le tonight, but for some reason, the bold anti-government army leader beside him pointed out Xu Le's direction and said he wanted to come over and say hello.
"I'm Qinghai's uncle … You're Xu Le, right? I often hear him mention you in his letters. "The middle-aged man chuckled and said to Xu Le," You can also call me uncle. "
Xu Le was startled. He thought that he had never heard Mr. Shi mention him before, but he still obediently called him uncle. He didn't notice that Shi Qinghai's face was unusually expressive. At this time, Xu Le's eyes suddenly became calm, because he saw a line of expensive cars slowly driving to the main road in front of the building.
The heavy car doors opened one by one, and a line of well-dressed men and women walked over in a reserved manner. The daughter of the Zou family, who was wearing a red evening gown, walked at the front. The men and women he saw in the GU store in the afternoon were walking side by side with her. They seemed to be of high status as well.
Trouble seemed to be coming. Shi Qinghai whispered a few words to the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man just smiled and shook his head. Xu Le didn't notice any of this. He was staring at the woman in the middle of the group, Zhang Xiaomeng, who was wearing a light blue silk dress and walking towards him like an elf.
