The man in the room was not tall, perhaps due to years of sailing, his entire body tanned to a bronze hue, and his face bore a maturity disproportionate to his age.
Liu Yifan held his wine glass, looking downstairs, taking in all the scenery.
This time, the organization had sent him back for a leave, stating they had a rather important mission for him.
He was still a little unaccustomed to it.
Because in the past, he was always told where to go and what to retrieve. They had never called him back for a vacation before entrusting him with a significant task.
He knew that his biological brother had been in a car accident.
Man’s fortune or misfortune, no one knows who will come first, tomorrow or an accident.
“Mr. Liu, this is General Manager Guo. Please get acquainted.” Lü Liang said as he entered.
“I wonder what important mission the organization has for me on my leave?” Liu Yifan asked directly.
“This mission is for you to leave this hotel as soon as General Manager Guo returns.
During this period, all your meals will be delivered by designated personnel,”
Lü Liang said.
“I don’t know what mistake I’ve made? For the organization to confine me?”
Liu Yifan looked displeased.
“You haven’t made any mistakes, and this isn’t confinement.
It’s a top secret for you to hide yourself. I believe you will obey the organization’s decision.
As an excellent soldier on the hidden front, I believe this should not be difficult for you.”
Lü Liang said, looking at Liu Yifan.
“This is not my battlefield. My battlefield is on ships, and abroad.”
Liu Yifan said.
“This is hundreds of times more dangerous than the work you do on ships.
Your mission is to hold this position and prevent the enemy from discovering your existence.”
“Liu Yifan, twenty-five years old, a graduate of the Police Academy. The year he graduated, he joined an overseas company engaged in foreign trade.
In reality, he was dispatched by the organization to work on the hidden front.
He has received a second-class merit citation once and a third-class merit citation twice. Am I correct?”
Guo Xuyang said, looking at Liu Yifan.
“Who are you? How do you know my information so well?”
Liu Yifan was a little puzzled.
“To tell you the truth, this time I will use your identity to complete a mission that you cannot accomplish, so I will borrow your identity for a while.
You will be free as soon as I return.
Of course, if I never return, you will also be free, but you will obtain another new identity.”
Guo Xuyang said.
“We don’t look alike at all, how can you replace me?”
“Wait a moment, I’ll go to the next room to put on some makeup.”
Guo Xuyang said, turning to enter the restroom.
He looked at Liu Yifan through the wall, used his special ability to completely transform himself into Liu Yifan’s appearance, and then walked out.
“You, how did you do that?”
Liu Yifan was extremely surprised. He didn’t know how Guo Xuyang had transformed into his appearance in such a short time.
“I said earlier, I will use your identity to complete a mission that you cannot complete.
Transforming into you is child’s play.
Alright, time is pressing, hand over your ID card and passport.
From today onwards, I am you. If the mission is not difficult, you can return to your previous post in about ten to fifteen days.
Of course, if you are unwilling to return to your previous post, you can also mention it to the organization.
I believe the organization will meet your requirements.” Guo Xuyang said.
Liu Yifan had to admit that he was indeed no match for Guo Xuyang.
Just based on his makeup skills, he was far inferior to Guo Xuyang.
Lü Liang did not expect Guo Xuyang to conquer Liu Yifan directly with his actions.
“Mr. Liu, whether you can hide yourself thoroughly also determines whether this mission can be successful, so your task is also very important.
During this period, just consider it as the organization giving you a vacation. Eat as you please, drink as you please, but you cannot contact the outside world.
I believe you can do this.”
Lü Liang said, looking at Liu Yifan.
“I guarantee to complete the mission.”
Liu Yifan immediately stood up straight.
He had completely forgotten the gesture of saluting since joining the foreign trade company, and his identity did not allow him to do so.
Guo Xuyang, having obtained the ID card and passport, followed Lü Liang towards the train station.
“Yangzi, when we meet Li Minyu in Kyoto, you two will be like sister-in-law and brother-in-law.
You must pay close attention to this and don’t reveal any flaws.”
Lü Liang instructed while driving.
“I know. Who do you think I am?”
“My apologies. I still haven’t adjusted.
You are Mr. Liu Yifan, the younger brother of Liu Yiyi, and the brother-in-law of Li Aimei.”
Lü Liang quickly said.
“That’s better. Don’t call me Yangzi when you introduce me to Li Minyu in Kyoto, or it’ll be completely exposed.
Li Minyu doesn’t know I’m coming with you, does she?”
“They probably didn’t mention it on their end. If they had, you might have been exchanging glances, which would have caused trouble.”
“I don’t think they would have mentioned it either. In my current appearance, Li Minyu would definitely not recognize me as Guo Xuyang.”
Guo Xuyang said.
“Li Minyu is also no longer Li Minyu from now on.
Her name is Li Aimei, and she is the widow of Liu Yiyi.
She is thirty years old and three months pregnant.
Liu Yiyi died in a car accident. This time, her brother-in-law, that is, you, will accompany her to America to receive Liu Yiyi’s ashes and his belongings.”
Lü Liang explained.
“I have noted that. It won’t be easy to find that list after the person is dead.
How did he know about that list?”
“I don’t know either. If I knew that, I would also know about the list in his hands.”
“That’s true. If I had that information, the list would have been passed over long ago.”
Guo Xuyang slapped his forehead.
“This requires you to adapt to the situation when you get there.
Regardless of the outcome, safety first.
If possible, Li Minyu will go to Canada to give birth.”
“How is that possible? Isn’t that like sending a sheep into a tiger’s mouth?”
“You misunderstand. You are going to America this time, not Canada.
Canada has a pleasant climate and is suitable for living. Giving birth there is better than giving birth here.
Didn’t you ask the boss for help? So he made arrangements for that side.
However, this matter was only told to me by the boss, and the prerequisite is that you will secretly transfer via another route after completing the mission.
Someone will arrange it then.
This is also to prevent Xiao Xi’s father from flying into a rage and arresting people.”
“Alright then. I’ll entrust my hundred-plus pounds to General Manager Jiang.”
“You’ll be fine. Protecting Li Minyu well is the real task.
However, once you arrive, someone will pick you up. These are all people from our company.
They are all legitimate white-collar workers and colleagues of Liu Yiyi.”
“Didn’t you say someone would be protecting us secretly?”
“Yes, but they won’t expose themselves easily.
You are going as Liu Yiyi’s younger brother and widow.
It can be said to be entirely a private matter, with no connection to the organization at all.
Your trip was also initiated by an invitation from Liu Yiyi’s company.”
“We must be clean. Diplomacy is no small matter, let alone the fact that Liu Yiyi’s murder indicates the other party had already been targeting him.
It’s a pity he didn’t realize it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have failed to send the list.”
“Perhaps he was hoping to get away with it through sheer luck?”
“This information transfer is not as simple as us imagining, sending it via email.
Their computers are all under close surveillance.”
“Then wouldn’t they know all our normal business transactions?”
“There are no secrets in normal economic exchanges. What do you think?”
“If that’s the case, how can business be conducted over there?”
“These are official matters. They are all registered.
Do you think it’s the same as here, where they use a different name to sell their goods?”
“That’s not what I meant. So how does he usually transmit messages to this side?”
“There are codes. All of us comrades know how to use the codes.”
“These people are not having an easy time either.”
“Who has it easy? Do you have it easy? You don’t either. You get called out with just one phone call.”
“You are absolutely right. Life is never easy.
Especially for those on the hidden front, who isn’t working with their lives on the line?”
