Chapter 62: The Pearl Is Covered in Dust but Its Brilliance Cannot Be Obscured (14)
Behind the library in Tong County, there is a huge sycamore tree.
Because the place is remote, few people come here. Occasionally, some elderly people will enjoy the cool under the tree, fanning themselves with cattail leaves and enjoying a moment of tranquility.
Or pairs of young men and women will shyly hold hands under the tree with golden light and shadows.
Shen Minghuan walked slowly.
The original owner was well-fed since childhood, and was born with a physique that could not be tanned. He had a rare fair complexion, delicate and weak, and looked very bookish, which made people around him secretly look at him.
Shen Minghuan's temperament was more outstanding than his appearance. In this era of general advocacy of knowledge, he was almost a scholar who could be seen at a glance, well-dressed and gentle.
There was a small stall next to the tree trunk today, selling sweet water to relieve summer heat and thirst, but the business was a bit depressed. Except for the two big men selling sweet water, there was no customer.
Shen Minghuan, who had no money, walked over openly, "Give me a bowl."
One of the big men stood up cheerfully and handed over the poured sugar water with a simple face.
Shen Minghuan didn't take it. He smiled at the big man and silently made a mouth shape: "-Flos."
The big man's face changed instantly, and the bowl in his hand didn't hold firmly, and fell to the ground with a "clang".
Another big man who was sitting on the side but always paying attention to this side also hurried over. He glared at his subordinate who was excited, bent down to pick up the bowl, and explained to the people around him with a smile: "I'm sorry, my brother is rough and clumsy, and he always messes up when I ask him to do something. I'll go back and tell him."
The people around smiled friendly and didn't care.
The "brother" poured another bowl, lowered his voice by delivering the sugar water, and said in M Mandarin to Shen Minghuan's ear: "Sir, can I talk to you for a moment?"
Although the words were polite, the fierceness and threat in the tone obviously did not allow Shen Minghuan to refuse.
Of course Shen Minghuan would not object. He calmly replied in M language: "Of course, please lead the way."
The two big men are not brothers, this is just their disguised identity.
There are still differences in appearance between Chinese and M people. Cross-border travel is not popular in this era. At least China, which is poor and white, is not a good choice for people from other countries to increase their knowledge.
In order not to attract attention, the two big men actually look no different from Chinese people and can speak fluent Chinese.
The "older brother" is a complete M countryman with M nationality. He grew up in M country since childhood. Because of his similar appearance to Chinese people, he was sent to China to perform tasks after training.
Such people are not easy to find after all, and they cannot satisfy M country's ambition to plant nails all over the world. Therefore, more spies are actually native Chinese.
For example, "younger brother" Han Aiguo.
Han Aiguo's family has been Chinese for generations, and now they are no less cared for by national policies. Just looking at his resume, his family had no connection with Country M even from the first page of the genealogy, but he was quickly bought by money.
Even out of yearning for the so-called beautiful country, he was more devoted to Country M than his "brother".
The two stood on the left and right of Shen Minghuan, and seemed to have said something, and suddenly showed exaggerated smiles of joy on their faces, as if they were good friends who had not seen each other for many years.
The two big men were so excited that they stopped doing business, hurriedly packed up the stall, and couldn't wait to pull Shen Minghuan back.
The people around looked at the intimate backs of the three people, and couldn't help but sigh that the relationship between them was really good. It was just a bowl of sugar water, but they were already arm in arm, and their relationship was so good that they could take people home.
It was like a familiar feeling at first sight.
Shen Minghuan didn't expect that spies actually had a serious business.
He was led and supervised by two people to a noodle shop, passing through the dim front hall with only two tables, bypassing the messy kitchen, and finally arriving at a room that was more spacious than the front hall.
On the surface, this noodle shop was run by two brothers named Han Aimin and Han Aiguo, but it was unknown how many people were hiding in secret.
However, just looking at the size of this room used for discussion, it was known that there would be no small number of people.
Han Aimin calmly put his hand on his waist, and felt the outline of the gun under his palm, which made him feel a little relieved.
As their most hidden base, this place cannot be easily leaked. Even Han Aiguo had to go through a long period of examination before he had the honor to come in. But the instructions given to them by the higher level were the highest level, which meant that this matter was very serious. They dared not neglect it. After several considerations, they decided to bring Shen Minghuan here.
Those who can get out of here are either their gang or dead people.
Han Aimin thought that this pretty boy had better say something useful, otherwise...
Han Aiguo stood outside the door to make sure no one would eavesdrop. He nodded to Han Aimin, indicating that everything was normal.
When Han Aiguo closed the door from the outside, only Han Aimin and Shen Minghuan were left in the room. He immediately retracted his simple and honest demeanor and said in a grim tone: "This sir."
The doors and windows were closed, and the lights were not on in the room, which made it look a little gloomy. Han Aimin deliberately created a terrifying atmosphere to break Shen Minghuan's psychological defenses.
As expected of an experienced spy, this operation worked very well. Shen Minghuan's fingers trembled and his eyes were filled with tears. He was probably scared.
Han Aimin did not expect that this man was so timid. He even began to worry that he had done too much and scared this fragile Chinese scholar to death on the spot.
He was silent, wondering whether the tone of his next lines should be gentler, when he saw Shen Minghuan striding closer, holding his wrist excitedly with both hands, and shaking it up and down.
Then Shen Minghuan said loudly: "Oh, my dear friends, I finally see you. God, you can't imagine how happy I am."
He wiped the tears from his eyes, indicating that he had cried with joy.
Han Aimin:......
Han Aimin began to think, is his name really Han Aimin, and the person in front of him is Han Aiguo. Although they have never met, they are actually brothers with the same blood?
Fortunately, he was not confused for too long. This overly emotional Chinese had already begun to explain: "I think you must have received a message from Professor Floss? Oh my god, you don't know, Professor Floss He was imprisoned by the Chinese state for five years, a full five years!"
"For more than 1,800 days and nights, Professor Floss missed Country M every day. The evil Chinese tortured him and tried to force him to do things for China, but Professor Floss never gave in."
Shen Minghuan took two steps forward excitedly and "accidentally" stepped on Han Aimin's foot. He was so excited that he not only didn't notice it, but also stomped it twice: "Sir, you know, Professor Floss is our The hero of country M, he worked so hard to get the news out this time. God proves that you will definitely save him, right?"
Han Aimin's face was slightly deformed due to the pain, and it was hard to blame this patriotic young man. He grinned and took two steps back, and then said, "Yes, of course, we will definitely do it, but... …”
He felt a little guilty: "Perhaps you can tell me about Professor Floss?"
Under Shen Minghuan's disbelieving gaze, Han Aimin felt even more guilty.
It sounds like this is a very great national hero. Not only was he so good that he was forcibly imprisoned by the Chinese government, but he was also brave enough to be tortured for five years without compromising.
However, they were not aware of the fact that a scientific genius who was so patriotic and powerful that even Mr. Errol was ashamed of himself was trapped in prison in another country.
It seems a little too much.
"Okay, okay." Shen Minghuan said wiltedly: "I didn't expect that no one in the outside world knows Professor Floss now. Back then, he solved Herchler's conjecture in one hour and could draw a T shape with his bare hands. What a genius in designing battleships.”
Han Aimin: "!!!"
Even if he has no education and has never heard of Herzil's conjecture, as a specially trained spy, he still knows about all major weapons.
It is said that only country S has one T-type combat ship in the world, and even country M can only drool at the other party's reports.
"It turned out to be Professor Floss, I remembered."
Han Aimin laughed twice, swallowed his saliva, and said cautiously: "Sir, do you have any proof? You know, Professor Floss is the pride of our country M. After his disappearance, many people His banner comes to deceive people.”
Shen Minghuan finally regained his energy and smiled happily: "Understood, no matter how cautious it is when it comes to Professor Flos."
He looked around carefully like a thief, then gently took out a piece of paper from his pocket and secretly stuffed it into Han Aimin's hand.
Although Han Aimin knew that this place was safe and that there were people guarding it outside, he was affected by his actions and couldn't help but be cautious.
Han Aimin also looked around carefully before reaching out and taking the paper.
Shen Minghuan waved and motioned for the other party to come over. He said in a weak voice: "This is Mr. Flowers' latest research. It is of great importance. I was afraid of being discovered by China, so I only brought a small part of it. If you see If you don’t understand, take it back and show it to someone who can understand.”
He sat up straight and said with some pride: "Others can imitate Professor Floss's name, but no one can imitate his wisdom."
Han Aimin carefully folded the paper and nodded solemnly: "Promise to complete the task."
He suddenly froze, looking a little confused, "But, sir, who are you?"
"Me?" Shen Minghuan didn't blink: "My name is Shen Minghuan, and I am Professor Flos's assistant. Sir, you should have heard of me. My teacher is Jiang Li, a famous scientist in China."
"Five years ago, the evil Chinese imprisoned Professor Floss and sent me to supervise his research for China. You know, I am also a scientific researcher. If Professor Floss is deliberately lazy or wants to do anything, I will stop him. You can see it.”
Han Aimin nodded, and it was understandable that they would also place an ordinary scientific researcher from the country next to the under house arrest talent, who could not only monitor him, but also help him if he "figured it out".
"But you are from China, right?" Han Aimin's eyes were confused. He shouldn't have a fake identity like him. Why did he keep saying "evil China" and "our country M"?
"What happened to the Chinese people?" Shen Minghuan expressed his position sonorously and forcefully: "Although I am from the Chinese country, my heart is engraved with the M country!"
