“…… As one of the few open cities in the ACA, Rio de Janeiro is a mixed bag, with Confederate citizens having to go through background checks on both the Confederation and ACA customs, as well as signing agreements to be monitored by both sides, but even so, tens of thousands of Confederate adventurers travel here every year to get a glimpse of the order under ACA rule......

-- The Coalition Times' special weekend travel issue

***

Rio de Janeiro, a city embraced by Jesus.

Although Ling Yu has no religious beliefs, Rio is a special city in every sense.

Since the world has changed from a multipolar structure to an alliance and the ACA, two incompatible forces, coupled with the energy crisis for hundreds of years, the communication between the two camps has been almost completely broken, and even in the past few decades, the World Cup and the Olympics have been held twice at one time - ACA and the alliance will each host one.

However, in this extreme opposition, Rio, as one of the few open cities, has become one of the few channels of communication between the two sides, in this city under the control of the ACA, in addition to the local gangs, ACA garrisons and secret police, there are also bold tourists from the League, ACA sympathizers and defectors from the League, refugees and black market merchants, etc., all kinds of people with different positions, which were destroyed in the Corcovado Mountains in 2122. Under the watchful eye of the statue of Jesus, which was rebuilt in 2145, he traveled around this special city.

Ling Yu, who took off his black jacket and wore only a half-sleeved bodysuit, stood on the balcony of the hotel, facing the direction of Copacabana Beach, the summer in the southern hemisphere had not yet completely passed, and the humid and warm nature of the savannah climate made Ling Yu somewhat uncomfortable, and the blowing sea breeze and the beautiful sea water with layered colors could only evoke some unpleasant memories for him.

"You seem to hate the sea."

Jiesi's voice came, Ling Yu turned her head, and what caught her eye was Jiesi in a sky blue dress, her long blonde hair tied into a lively ponytail at the back of her head, revealing a youthful liveliness different from that of a noble knight.

"You seem to like blue very much," Ling Yu changed the subject, "and always wrap yourself tightly...... Is this a hairpin? ”

"No, it's one of the few clothes I have other than my uniform," Jesse smiled happily, the same smile as any 22-year-old girl who likes skirts, "How's that, is it for me?" ”

"It always feels a little weird to be so strict," Ling Yu scratched his head, with a taste of telling the truth, "Does the Knights have a dogma that requires you all to be so conservative?" ”

"Boss, you really don't know how to talk," a bead of sweat broke out on Jesse's head, revealing an embarrassing smile of "No wonder you're old and unmarried", "This is not the dogma of the Knights, it's just a personal ...... Reason. ”

"I'm afraid it wouldn't be polite to ask any more," Sensing his mistake in speaking, Ling Yu suddenly remembered the scar on Jiesi's neck that he had seen in South Africa before, and smiled awkwardly, "It's beautiful, it's very suitable for you." ”

"Hey, thank you, boss." Jess stuck out her tongue and showed a playful smile, she stepped forward, walked past Ling Yu, and stood on the balcony looking at Copacabana Beach, "I love the sea." ”

"Speaking of which, what about Logan?" Ling Yu couldn't help blushing when she looked at Jiesi's beautiful side face under the sunshine and her golden hair blown by the sea breeze, and didn't even hear the second half of Jiesi's words, so she changed the topic stiffly.

"Mr. Craig is writing in the study," Jess put on a polite smile, this formulaic smile was obviously not as natural and beautiful as when facing Ling Yu, plus calling the first name instead of the first name, obviously, the relationship between the playboy and the knight princess was not very good.

"Ling Yu, it's just right, come and sign this thing for me."

As he spoke, Rogan walked out of the study with a copy of the paper and gave it to Ling Yu.

"'Life Insurance Contract'...... What is this? Ling Yu was stunned for a moment.

"Don't worry about it, sign your name here, and the beneficiary will write me." Logan spoke confidently.

“…… Do you want me to die so much? ”

"Just in case," Logan looked at it as a matter of course, "you're dead at that time anyway, so I'll benefit from it anyway......"

"Take it for me in five seconds, or I'll let you eat it." The corners of Ling Yu's mouth twitched with helplessness and anger, and then he issued an ultimatum.

"Poofha." Finally, Jiesi, who was holding back laughter to the point of internal injury, squirted out and bent over with laughter.

"Cut, stingy." Rogan put Wen Jiàn on the table while breaking his thoughts, "If you don't sign it, you won't sign it, why are you so fierce." ”

"Straight down to business, what's our next move?" Ling Yu shook his head, walked to the living room, threw himself into the sofa, and looked at Jiesi.

"GK Security has a large office in Rio, headed by Sánchez Fernando Silva, a public figure, and it's not so easy to get his hands on him."

A holographic projection appears on Jesse's right arm again, as if changing her costume does not affect the "splendor" to perform its function.

"I want to think about it...... There's no point in killing him, and there's no way to damage GK security or the ACA," Ling Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment, "We need to figure out the purpose of his smuggling of rocket parts, as well as as any information about the ACA attack." ”

"Grab it, hang it, or rummage through his safe?" Rogan seemed to have finished dealing with life insurance and turned to open the door to the refrigerator.

"I'm afraid of both." Jess walked to the small sofa on Ling Yu's side, and sat down with her legs on one side very ladylikely, "The contents of the safe must be privately encrypted, and only Sanchez himself knows the key, but if you only arrest people, and don't say whether he will lie, people's memories may also be biased." ”

"Then I don't have a choice, when will I have the opportunity to sneak into his house or his office?" Ling Yu nodded, then twisted his upper body, "Rogen, you are responsible for paying for all the extra drinks. ”

"I can afford a can of milk." Hearing Ling Yu's words, Luo Gan's hand that had already touched the expensive whiskey in the refrigerator suddenly retracted like an electric shock, and the young man in the suit who cleared his throat felt out a can of milk from the lower level, "Do you want to drink orange juice, I invite you." ”

"Two cans," Ling Yu hooked the corners of his mouth, and asked Jiesi for a copy, "Getting back to business, what do we do?" ”

"The thing is not in his office, the 'advanced' of GK Security's private cyber security system is close to number 47, there are no secrets to speak of, he will not put anything there." Jess secretly gave her boss a thumbs up, but kept her usual tone, "We need to come and visit." ”

"I guess what could be worse than a military-grade security AI system, ubiquitous dangerous real yàn room-level detection and sensing equipment, former ACA special forces-level security personnel?"

Ling Yu took the orange juice that Logan had thrown over, ripped off the pull tab and handed it to Jiesi, before opening her own jar.

"Three TF bodyguards." Jesse took a sip of orange juice, and the princess from Iceland was pleasing to the eye even when she drank the can, especially after taking off the hard knight's uniform.

"It's exactly three and a half of us here," Logan tore a straw from the bar and inserted it into his own can of milk, "I'm one, Your Highness Princess, you count two, and he counts half." ”

"That's right," Ling Yu gave Luo Gen a middle finger without looking back, and responded to the mockery of the man in the suit, "To deal with you, I can use half of my strength." ”

"Hmm...... Actually, I want to say, "Jesse routinely sweats, puts orange juice on the table, and holds her chin in her right hand," according to the latest situation, it seems that there is a TF bodyguard who is not by his side for the time being, these people are not only bodyguards, but also his thugs, and it is normal for them to be sent out by Sanchez. ”

"It's not a trap." Ling Yu nodded, "I think you have a plan, Jiesi." ”

"When have I ever let you down, boss." Jesse tilted her head into a confident smile and threw the hologram on her arm into the air again, "I found out that Sanchez will have a charity ball this weekend, maybe this is a good chance for us to get close to him, but we need a fake identity, high enough and low-key enough." ”

"How about movie star Carl Mintz, a sympathizer at the ACA, who once made a GK security-sponsored movie, likes to explore around alone when he doesn't have a schedule, and is a famous playboy." Logan finally offered some contribution to the plan, and the young man in a suit leaning against the bar turned around, holding an entertainment magazine in his hand and showing it to a man and a woman sitting on the couch.

"Won't you wear goofs?" Jess frowned, "And I'm afraid one person can't handle it, it's better to have a family." ”

"Toot - the answer is wrong," Logan took a sip of the milk in his hand, and as a master of makeup and infiltration, he naturally began to popularize science, "It is easy to imitate a public figure, there are no secrets in the flash, but it is very difficult to imitate his relatives, such as his wife, a small mistake can be a failure, but fortunately, dear Mr. Mintz is a well-known playboy, and it is too normal to change a prom partner." As for goofs, the model I spent the night with last week told me that Carl Minz was living an isolated skiing life in an Alpine villa, and that even his agent didn't know where he was. ”

"So last week you were in the Alps and slept with a model who had slept with Carl Mintz." Ling Yu made a brief summary, "How to guarantee that you will receive the invitation." ”

"As soon as I appear in Rio dressed as Carl Mintz, the invitation will naturally be delivered to me, as long as Her Royal Highness the Princess helps me hack into his private email." Logan bowed gracefully to Jesse, expressing his gratitude and putting an end to his popular science.

"I've gone in the dark," Jesse nodded, but immediately frowned, "Wait, Mr. Craig, you mean I'm going to be with you...... Going to a cocktail party together? Ling Yu...... Boss, can't you? ”

"I can't dance." Ling Yu was stunned for a moment, "And I didn't bring a suit with me." ”

"It's easy, anyway, there are still two days until the weekend," Jiesi's eyes showed a rare glint of excitement, "I know a few very good formal tailoring stores, guaranteed to make the boss you become rich and handsome in a second." ”

"Can I understand that you're saying that I'm usually a ** silk......"

"Uh...... I swear to the true god, there is absolutely no such meaning, and besides, boss, if your net worth is still **silk, then the president of the alliance may also become **silk. ”

"Poof-" Logan's chuckle interrupted the pointless argument, and the playboy had already seen Jessy's voiceover and shrugged his shoulders, "The point is, Your Highness the Princess, my technique is makeup, not transforming people, how can you tell me how to transform this one-meter-seven guy in front of me into an international superstar with a height of one-meter-eight-eight?" ”

"I'm one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall," Ling Yu shook his head, then sat up straight, stretched out his hand and pressed against Jiesi, "It's okay, don't worry, I'm still more suitable to act in the dark, you go with Logan, if he does something to you, help me kick his crotch." ”

"The owner...... Please don't be serious about such a dangerous joke," Jess said as she glanced at Logan, who twitched unnaturally.

"So, you're in charge of getting him personal, and I'll use the cocktail party to sneak into the room's vault to get the information." Ling Yu cleared his throat and made his final concluding remarks, "How do I get in, do you have a way?" ”

"Of course." Jesse smiled sweetly again, "I'll show you if you date me." ”
