92. The Goldfish of the British Empire[23]
"Oh God! Harry, are you alright? Poor Eggsy sounded like she was going to cry, and the others really couldn't stand up for it at this moment. After all, they are all low-key and subtle, where would they think that the egg boy is not from a noble background - he has become a little wolf dog, oh, now he has become a stupid and cute husky, ah woo is going to lick the master. It was really a surprise to them, so the stunned/shocked was inevitable.
However, the stunned/shocked is right.
This situation requires the natural stunned/shocked of the onlookers, and I didn't see that even Gu Qing, who was the best at controlling his facial muscles and had the "prophecy" skill, could only keep his face expressionless, his eyes widened, and he was the first to react, reaching out and pretending to accidentally drop the fork on the plate, making a crisp sound, which instantly woke up his colleagues who were too involved.
The British gentlemen disguised their embarrassment in much the same way, they faked coughing, and then looked away very politely and considerately, pretending that what had just happened was just a big deal, so as not to make the person concerned feel more embarrassed. Of course, they still secretly keep an eye on the situation over there, either with their peripheral eyes or with their refracted vision.
Harry's face was ugly as he wiped his nose with the handkerchief he was carrying, and he squeezed out words from between his back molars: "Agesie, what have you done?" I thought you had learned to control your bad temper and be less reckless in your actions! β
Eggsy clenched his fists and proclaimed, "I know what I'm doing!" Harry, I like you! Professor Higgins likes Eliza as much as I like "My Fair Lady"! β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Harry was the first to react, "You come with me!" β
Eggsie's eyes lit up in an instant, and everyone seemed to be able to see his tail wagging behind his back, and he followed Harry away.
As soon as they left, the originally quiet party suddenly exploded.
No matter how restrained the English gentlemen were, they couldn't stop the ripples that came out of their hearts, "Did you hear that? It was Professor Higgins who liked Eliza the way. β
"I think maybe the kid was too nervous."
"Probably, but such a confession is really impressive, isn't it?"
"Young man."
Everyone looked at each other, laughed and said nothing, and after a while, I don't know who spoke again: "How do you think Arthur will respond?" β
"Ohβit's hard to say, it's Arthur after all."
"If I'm not mistaken, Galahad's father was introduced by Arthur back then, but later died to protect Arthur?"
"Well, they still have such a relationship? It's no wonder that Arthur has now introduced Galahad again, but he didn't expect the trajectory of events to turn around when he didn't know it. β
"Who's to say it isn't." If you put aside the general environment, and then there is the sticky ambiguity revealed in the tone, probably this dialogue is very strict and serious.
Gu Qing, who had listened to the conversation of the seniors, moved his eyebrows, silently stuffed a piece of mousse into his mouth, and when he looked up again, he found that Merlin was looking at him, Gu Qing said slowly: "It's a pity, in the end, "My Fair Lady" won "Uncle Long Legs". β
Merlin: "...... Hell yes! Who's going to listen to this. β
Gu Qing's eyes widened: "You don't want the Eagle Eye Scout to continue to investigate, do you?" His face clearly said "Merlin, I misread you", Merlin's stomach hurt, and he instantly forgot what he wanted to say before, and left with a shake of his hand.
Seeing Merlin leaving, Roxie, who was a new junior and a good best friend of one of the parties in the accident center just now, brought two vanilla mint ice cream balls over, and put one in front of Gu Qing, and lowered her voice to share her thoughts with Gu Qing: "Believe me, the confession list that Egges originally prepared did not have the same as the one he just had, but they are all the same. β
Gu Qing nodded at the vanilla mint ice cream ball and said casually, "For example?" β
Lockie said in a tangled tone, "Red roses? Playing the guitar? Why don't you invite Arthur to the cinema to watch a movie? β
Gu Qing let out a subtle monosyllable: "That's really a pity." "Today's confession accident is already very exciting, but I didn't expect that there is also a very interesting alternative in Eggsie.
Lockie blinked, and the smart girl quickly understood the meaning of Gu Qing's euphemism, just as she could well understand the words of those noble-born seniors who were like curveballs. She thought about it for a while, and had to agree with Gu Qing's statement, her best friend defected in an instant, and she said slowly: "My idea is that Arthur didn't accept Eggsy so easily, but you also know Eggsie, he is a tendon person, and he won't let go if he sees it." "So they may have a chance to watch again in the future.
Gu Qing scooped a spoonful of vanilla mint ice cream and let the buds unfold before he said thoughtfully: "I can't give a definite answer to this point now, maybe I should wait until I see Eggsy tomorrow before making a judgment." β
Lockie said calmly, "God bless Eggsie." β
The next day was late.
The long table in the dining room at the base, which is rarely used in normal times, is now finally useful, and none of the British gentlemen who have always put respect for personal ** in their mouths asked about Harry's accident last night, and they laughed and laughed, but when breakfast was over, the other party did not show up, which already explained some problems.
Loxie received a text message from Egges asking her to help bring breakfast, she glanced at Gu Qing, and then there were two people in Eggsie's room.
"Eggsie, are you alright?" When the door opened, Roxie stared straight at Eggsy and asked, Eggsie's eyes drifting, "Thank you for the breakfast, Lockie." He was so distracted that he didn't even notice that Gu Qing also followed Lockie in.
Eggsy's walking posture was not particularly natural, and Lockie naturally noticed it, and asked again as if sure: "Are you sure?" β
Before Eggsy could speak, Gu Qing spoke slowly: "Don't worry about Lockie, Eggsy didn't have sex with Harry, he was just punished by Harry by hitting him on the buttocks with an umbrella as a cane." β
Lockie tried to make herself less surprised: "Do you mean the kind of punishment that is traditionally used in schools to be hit with a cane?" So Agesie, did you take off your pants and bare ass when you received that kind of punishment according to tradition? β
Eggsy moaned as he held his head and groaned as he looked like he wanted to find a crack in the ground, while his dog, JB, still had his classic expression of bitterness and hatred, not very concerned about what happened to his owner.
"There's something dirtier than that, I don't want to say anything worse, I don't have a habit of amnesticizing, but I'll remember to put it on the hard drive I don't use it the most, and keep up the good work Eggsie." Gu Qing showed an emotional-not colorful smirk, and turned to leave.
Lockie clasped her hands around her chest: "So what did you all do?" β
Eggsie: "......" When he was spanked by Harry with an umbrella, his little brother looked up tremblingly, and was discovered by Harry, can you tell Lockie about this kind of thing? It has to be!!
It would be too much to underestimate this wonderful girl if Eggsy gave up so uncooperatively, and she said with a subtle expression, "Actually, it doesn't matter, Eggsie." You know, you didn't go to breakfast, you're walking in the wrong way right now, you don't need to know what's really going on, we're just going to assume that you're sleeping with Arthur. β
Eggesy snorted and threw herself on the bed, "But we didn't go to bed!" β
"Oh, it's not sooner or later." Roxie said indifferently, "Don't you want to?" β
Eggsy stammered, "I, Iβ" He blushed and buried himself in the pillow.
Lockie's heart was turbulent, but her face was still very restrained, "So, where have you got?" If you don't say it, it's a big deal if I ask Sain, and I can't guarantee what he will say. Lockie had already dedicated her knee to Gu Qing, not to mention his outstanding ability as an ace agent, or the genius idea of being a research and development personnel, just because he single-handedly promoted this favorite "confession door", it is worthy of Lockie's praise.
Eggesy tried to put up a final resistance: "Lockie, you're a girlβ"
Lockie rolled her eyes under her nose: "Let's not talk about the sexism in your words, just on this topic, you really don't have the right to talk about me, Eliza." β
Eggsy was hit by a good girlfriend, and her psychological defense completely collapsed, "I said it can't be done?" β
Loxie made a triumphant gesture with the hand behind her back.
"Take it when you see it, Lockie." Merlin's voice came from Lockie's communicator, and Lockie quickly put away the victory gesture to indicate receipt. Merlin on the other end turned around and looked at Gu Qing, who was supposed to receive the video data at this end, Gu Qing blinked, Merlin faked a cough and then said: "Eggsie's anti-interrogation skills need to be strengthened." β
Gu Qing echoed without any sincerity: "What the chief said is true. Let's play slowly, I'll go back to the R&D room. He just left slowly under Merlin's angry glare, he still listened to the chief's words, and accepted it when he saw it.
Gu Qing returned to the R&D room, opened the backstage of the internal forum, and projected the dazzling numbers and source code onto the big screen, and then he put on his headphones and read the numbers and source code that seemed to be endless.
At dinner that day, Eggsy finally came out of his room to meet people after learning that most of the ace agents were leaving one after another, especially the one who had come for Harry's purpose.
Eggsy didn't see Harry's relief and loss, and when he looked up and saw that everyone else at the table was looking at him, he snapped and said, "I wonder why Sain didn't come to dinner, well, and Harry didn't come either." β
Everyone else laughed subtly, and it was Merlin who answered Eggsey's question: "Gareth is not here, he becomes very single-minded as soon as he starts researching, and he will not spend extra time eating in the restaurant." It's not bad, it's just that even if you want to concentrate, you have to take care of your body, and I remember the last time he didn't leave the R&D room for a week. In the end, Merlin was very worried, and simply and rudely broke into Gu Qing's R&D room and drove people out. Of course, Merlin would not say in front of Gu Qing that he was worried about him, he didn't want to fuel Gu Qing's arrogance.
Eggie waited for Merlin to talk about Harry, but Merlin kept talking about Gu Qing, so forget it, and when Merlin was about to talk about Harry, the others interjected: "What research and development is Gareth doing?" β
Merlin spoke briefly, and the others had a little discussion about it.
Eggsy: Did the "......" bully me for not going to college?
Lockie listened to the seniors chatting professionally while glancing at Eggsie, oh, she wanted to go over and touch his dog's head now, anyway, this kind of opportunity is less than once, after all, Arthur is her top boss, #ζηθΏεΎηδΈ»δΊΊ#δΉ.
At last they were almost done, and Merlin summed up the topic, looked at Eggsy as if he had just remembered, and said, "Arthur has something to do, so we don't have to wait for him." β
Eggsie: "...... didn't say it earlier, my ass still hurts!"
Poor Eggsy waited again, and found that everyone understood, and then there was no more, not at all as enthusiastic as the atmosphere just now, and there was no follow-up discussion.
Eggsy didn't even have a good dinner, or Locky, a good girlfriend, couldn't stand it anymore and asked him, "Why didn't you call or text Arthur if you wanted to find him?" Well, you didn't think of it, did you? β
Eggsy's loveless expression has been illustrated.
Loxie sighed: "It is said that the IQ of people who are in love will drop, but you are too obvious." β
Before Eggsy could argue, Lockie gave him another blow to the heart: "Alas, it's also your original IQ that is not high. After saying that, Lockie patted Eggsie's head on the head, and then calmly withdrew her hand and continued to give Eggsy ideas: "If Arthur doesn't answer your calls or can't reply to your text messages, you can also go to him." Arthur is basically not on field duty now, if he is not at the base now, then he should be at his house, you know the address of his home. β
Eggsy suddenly became as excited as if he had been beaten, and he hugged Lockie and ran away happily. Lockie couldn't help but shake her head when she looked at his awkward posture, such a stupid cuteness can only be raised by Arthur.
After her best friend Loxie sighed, she turned around and took out her king-sman-phone and logged in to the internal forum to break the news anonymously.
Egg boy go well~
β¦β¦ Merlin brushed open the door of Gu Qing's R&D room on the third day, he originally thought that it would be like the last time he went out to breathe fresh air, he saw Gu Qing, who was a little busy, but to his surprise, Gu Qing was wearing cufflinks. Merlin paused and asked, "You know?" β
Gu Qing put on the cufflinks and turned around and said, "I don't want to remind you anymore of this kind of black-headed questioning, how unfair it is to me when asked." β
Merlin glared at him, "Makes you like an ordinary person and asks a rhetorical question, "What do I know?" Or is it that hard to say, "What the hell is going on?" β
Gu Qing is as good as flowing: "As you wish, what do you want to say?" β
Merlin pushed his glasses: "A month ago, MI6 lost a hard disk that recorded the list of all agents lurking in NATO's terrorist organization, 007 was ordered to recover this hard drive, and was hit and disappeared in Istanbul, and the hard drive was naturally not recovered, and today MI6 released his obituary." β
"Condolences. But I still don't understand the logical connection between this and you saying "you know", I don't think the royal gentleman will interfere in MI6's private affairs, and you know that if I take the mission to go out, as my direct commander, you will know. Gu Qing said as he folded the square scarf and put it in his coat pocket in an orderly manner.
Merlin selectively heard what he wanted to hear: "Wait, you're saying it's MI6's private business?" I thought it was about national security and the lives of those secret agents. Although the current information is not enough to define the people behind the theft of the hard drive as a terrorist organization, once they hack the hard drive and obtain the information of the secret agent, the consequences are unimaginable. β
"On your way to my R&D room, there was an explosion in London, the casualties are unknown, and the location of the explosion is the MI6 headquarters. What was missing was the list of MI6 agents, and it was the MI6 headquarters that was attacked, and I now have reason to deduce that this was most likely a vicious case specific to MI6, or a terrorist attack. β
Merlin looked at a video of the explosion scene in Gu Qing's R&D room with a solemn face, it was not special news, but a video taken by a witness who witnessed the scene with his mobile phone, although it was not very clear from a distance, but it was enough to identify the building of the explosion. In addition, I believe that related news will be reported soon.
Moreover, Gu Qing knew about Bond's accident earlier than the royal gentleman got the information, and his friend Benjamin asked him for help, because he himself had to do his best to track down the whereabouts of the hard drive, and the grim situation did not allow him to do anything other than his job, not to mention that the entire MI6 acquiesced in Bond's death, and Mrs. M even wrote an obituary by hand, although Bond's body was not found, strictly speaking, Bond's whereabouts were unknown. Only Q, Bond's quartermaster, no, it was Benjamin who thought he was still alive.
Gu Qing promised to help without saying anything, although his brows were about to be knotted at that time. Even if Bond doesn't die, he won't have a future blessing, his score here in Gu Qing has dropped to zero now, maybe Bond should be glad that Gu Qing doesn't have the habit of scoring negative points.
"I'm going to find Arthur, you're going out?" Merlin asked casually absentmindedly, and Gu Qing's answer was not very clear: "It's just a private matter, I will rush back as much as possible." β
It can only be said that the good and the bad came together (the accident about Bond is not a bad situation for Gu Qing), Gu Qing is now going out to "welcome" an old man who is returning to London at this juncture, and Gu Qing still has preparations to do before that.
The news about the terrorist attack on the headquarters of MI6 was broadcast at a fairly fast pace, attracting not only the vast majority of the attention of the public, but also the minds of those in power, after all, the place of the terrorist attack was MI6.
-- What is not known to the outside world is that this terrorist attack was not a bomb explosion in the traditional sense, but that the attackers passed through the firewall of MI6, invaded the environmental ecological control system, locked the security protocols, and then opened the gas gate, which sounds incredible.
But it was such a network intrusion that caused the MI6 headquarters to be bombed, several casualties, and the key thing is that the attacker also hacked into Mrs. M's computer, opened her text, and got the password to the hard disk that stored the information of the agent list, which means that it won't be long before the attackers can crack the hard drive, and what they will do at that time is really unpredictable.
In this case, if an ordinary member of the House of Commons dies of a heart attack, and he himself has a history of heart disease, he can only get a pitiful amount of attention, right? Even if it was on the TV news, it was a while later.
The councillor trembled and said, "What do you want?" β
The person sitting on the sofa held the computer and said a little proudly: "Don't do anything, it's just that someone wants you to die." You see, I have the identification code on the pacemaker that you have installed, and with this I can do whatever I want with your pacemaker, for example, just press this button, I can add a few hundred volts to your heart, and you will look like you have died of a heart attack. β
As he said that, he was about to press the button, and the councillor hurriedly shouted, "No! β
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in the room where the two of them were supposed to be saved: "Although I don't want to interrupt your life and death parting, the game of cat and mouse is over." β
This time it was the turn of the man who was originally a "cat" to panic, "Who?!" He stopped eating before he could see the person who was talking, and the computer was very thoughtfully removed before he stopped eating.
The frightened councillor lifted it up again in one breath, and his face turned even whiter.
"Take a deep breath, don't be nervous, do you think I saved you from someone else and then killed you?"
Councillor: "...... Who are you? He feigned composure as he touched his phone, and the man spoke again: "If I were you, I wouldn't do anything else but lie down." β
Councillor: Before the ...... could open his mind, he fainted with a sting on his neck, and his posture was not too comfortable.
"I warned you." The initiator, Gu Qing, who trespassed on the house, shrugged his shoulders and said unconcernedly. He put his computer on the coffee table and searched for a mobile phone from another trespasser, whose name was prominently marked "Pro.M" in the inbox.
