The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 29 Justification (please recommend, please collect)
Jiang Yu walked quickly to the office building of the Academy of Social Sciences. In the lobby, he saw two security guards patrolling while talking and laughing.

The two security guards looked unfamiliar, and they looked at Jiang Yu with some strange eyes. Jiang Yu guessed that they should be sent by Da Shi, which made him feel relieved about his next actions.

When I came to Kong Xiang's office, there were two strong men in black suits, standing inside the door and next to Kong Xiang respectively.

Jiang Yu glanced at the two strong men with a dignified expression: "Mr. Kong, this is?"

"Sit!" Kong Xiang said seriously, "Xiaoyu, you are the most talented student I have met in these years. I have always hoped to pass on my research results to you."

Jiang Yu sat down opposite Kong Xiang according to his words: "I have always been very grateful to Teacher Kong for his teaching and his kindness in solving doubts."

Kong Xiang smiled slightly, and took out a few photos from the drawer: "Look for yourself."

The photos showed Jiang Yu meeting Shi Qiang, and two of them were secretly taken when they met today.

Kong Xiang said: "I sent someone to investigate, the other party is a policeman, and now it seems that he has been transferred to a secret department. Don't try to quibble, it's pointless."

Jiang Yu put down the photo: "I'm curious, what is the teacher going to do with me?"

Kong Xiang sighed for a long time, and said with some frustration: "I will put you under house arrest in a secret cell, and when our plan succeeds, no one can stop us before releasing you.

"At that time, if you are still willing to call me a teacher, I will continue to teach you."

Jiang Yu clearly felt Kong Xiang's disappointment from the bottom of his heart, which was obviously different from the encouragement he had given before.

He was also somewhat moved: "In my eyes, you will always be my teacher."

"You can say that, I feel better." Kong Xiang smiled and said: "But if you make a mistake, you have to bear the corresponding consequences.

"Even if you have gained the trust of the 'commander' and completed the task I entrusted to you well, you still cannot escape punishment!"

"I know, Teacher Kong has taught me long ago that the balance between merit and demerit is a compromise between myself and myself, and it is a sign of no position." Jiang Yu took out the cigarette case and handed Kong Xiang a cigarette:

"The teacher didn't want to kill me, which surprised me somewhat."

Kong Xiang took the cigarette: "How can there be any reason for a teacher to kill his own students? Such a person is not worthy of being a teacher!"

He paused and asked again, "When did you start smoking?"

Jiang Yu stood up and lit a cigarette for Kong Xiang under the guard of a strong man in black: "I'm under a lot of pressure during this time."

He also lit the cigarette for himself: "Did Evans say why he wanted to spy on me?"

Jiang Yu has been thinking about this step for a long time, and he has already made full preparations for what to say next, and to what extent.

Hearing Jiang Yu's question, Kong Xiang took a puff of cigarette. Evans did say that, but even if the Lord was involved, Jiang Yu's rebellious behavior would definitely be wiped out by the organization.

When Jiang Yu saw Shi Qiang, Kong Xiang hadn't reported it to Evans yet. He wanted to put Jiang Yu under house arrest first, and then report to Evans as appropriate, which might save Jiang Yu's life.

Jiang Yu said: "I hope to have a private chat with the teacher, because the next conversation involves a high level of confidentiality."

Kong Xiang examined Jiang Yu with serious eyes for two or three seconds before letting his two subordinates go outside the door first.

The two subordinates were also a little confused. They didn't expect Kong Xiang to agree to Jiang Yu's request.

After the two of them went out, Jiang Yu put out half a cigarette in the ashtray, and whispered to Kong Xiang, "I have communicated with the Lord!"

He deliberately spoke vaguely, covering up the fact that it took him more than two months to contact Sophon, so that even if he is currently under Sophon's surveillance, the Trisolarans can't find fault with this sentence.

And these words were heard in Kong Xiang's ears, as if the "Master" had taken the initiative to communicate with Jiang Yu.

After all, it has always been the "Master" who took the initiative to communicate with the people in the organization. No matter how devoutly he prayed, Kong Xiang never saw the Lord respond.

Kong Xiang looked at Jiang Yu in surprise and envy.

Jiang Yu continued: "The Lord seems to be using me to do a research."

This sentence is also a little vague, but Kong Xiang can understand it. After all, even if the Lord communicates with Jiang Yu, it is impossible to tell Jiang Yu everything.

It is normal for Jiang Yu to make certain guesses through the Lord's instructions.

And the Trisolarans who used Sophon to monitor Jiang Yu couldn't find fault after hearing this. They really did that.

In addition, Jiang Yu also used a speculative tone to give himself enough leeway.

The trisolarans would also think it was very reasonable, after all, it was not difficult to come up with this guess through their previous communication with Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu remembered a famous saying, he pointed to the photo on the desk and said: "This is part of the plan!"

He paused before saying, "I can only tell you so much."

Kong Xiang nodded to express his understanding. After all, this involves the Lord's plan and should be kept secret.

Seeing Kong Xiang's expression, Jiang Yu knew that what he just said had met his expectations.

What followed was a reasonable estrangement, he leaned back in his chair and said: "After my communication with the Lord, I found that Evans is actually monopolizing the right to talk to the Lord.

"I was specially 'cared for' by him because I communicated with the Lord without going through him, which seems to be a kind of arrogance to him.

"But the Lord has already warned him, the most he can do is ask the teacher to monitor me, but he must not dare to take further action."

Kong Xiang took out a cigarette with a solemn expression, and only after lighting it did he remember to send one to Jiang Yu as well.

After taking two puffs of cigarettes, Kong Xiang suddenly changed the subject: "It seems that I blamed you wrongly. Do you remember what day next Tuesday is?"

"Of course I remember, teacher's wife's birthday." Jiang Yu also changed the subject tacitly: "I have prepared all the presents!"

Kong Xiang smiled and said: "Come early when the time comes, my father and I will make dinner, so your teacher and mother won't be bothered that day."

Jiang Yu fully agreed.

After Jiang Yu left the office, Kong Xiang asked his subordinates to continue to monitor Jiang Yu.

Although Jiang Yu's actions may involve the Lord's plan, Jiang Yu's one-sided words cannot be believed.

Kong Xiang paced in the office for a long time before reporting to Evans about Jiang Yu's meeting with the police.

Evans, who was far away on the high seas, didn't take it seriously. According to what he knew from the Lord, it was Jiang Yu's plan to gain the trust of high-level human beings.

It's normal to pick up with the police or something.

After only a few minutes, Evans replied to Kong Xiang's email, asking Kong Xiang to continue monitoring.

Kong Xiang, who received the email, sat in front of the computer for a long time without saying a word, and Evans did not issue an order to erase it, which proved Jiang Yu's words from the side.

Kong Xiang took a deep breath, he was glad that he never fully trusted Evans.

He froze for a while before picking up the phone, so that his subordinates would not have to monitor Jiang Yu. It would be meaningless to continue monitoring, and it might arouse the master's disgust.

……

After receiving the fraud value from Kong Xiang, Jiang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The success of this operation allowed him to regain his balance.

Leaving the office building, Jiang Yu came to Ye Wenjie's house as usual, and while helping Ye Wenjie pick vegetables, he whispered to Ye Wenjie:

"President Kong came to me suddenly today, saying that he wanted to introduce me to a party. I guess it should be a party of Adventists."

Ye Wenjie smiled gratifiedly: "You did a good job."
