Chapter 1377: Chapter 1376: All Nations Are Taking Action

"Oh Master!"

"Master, which college are you from?"

"Master, what’s your year?"

"Master, interested in joining our soccer team? We can even make you the core!"

"I’m not from your school." Lu Zheng waved his hand, "You guys continue, continue, don’t mind me."

Seeing nearly everyone from the soccer team rushing over, Lu Zheng grabbed Liu Qingyan and took off running.

Watching Lu Zheng flee in defeat, the soccer team members realized that Lu Zheng was indeed not interested in joining their soccer team and might actually not be from their school.

"Such a pity..."

"Could he be a top player from another school investigating us?"

"Damn, no way?"

"Have you ever seen a spy so flashy, coming to check us out with a girlfriend?"

"Damn, epic fail, didn’t capture the master’s elegance on camera!"

"Haha, I filmed it!"

"Quick, send it to me, I gotta show off on my social media!"

...

On the other side, Lu Zheng was laughing joyfully as he and Liu Qingyan ran out of the field.

"That was fun!" Lu Zheng said with a smile. He hadn’t had such a good time in ages.

"Why didn’t you kick a few more?" Liu Qingyan laughed, "I think I saw a video once of a player kicking the ball precisely onto the goal frame every time, it was super popular."

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow and immediately said, "Do you want me to kick more?"

"Forget it." Liu Qingyan, beaming, linked her arm with Lu Zheng’s, "What if the national team recruits you?"

"Then go win a World Cup!"

Liu Qingyan couldn’t help but chuckle, "One king leading ten bronzes is a bit much, your identity would surely be exposed, better to play basketball where it’s less noticeable."

Lu Zheng smacked his lips, "I think you might be overestimating basketball..."

...

After strolling around the school, they were ready to leave.

"Let’s go, is Sister Lingxi and Sister Ying at home?" Liu Qingyan asked.

Lu Zheng nodded, "First, let’s pick up Lin Wan, then we’ll head home together."

And when they arrived downstairs to pick up Lin Wan by car...

"Wow, impressive, a world-class shot, national team’s savior."

Lin Wan had just gotten into the back seat and joked, "Wanna lead a team to win the World Cup?"

Lu Zheng was astonished, "That happened just an hour ago, and you already know?"

"Local trending topics, you’re underestimating the speed of information spread nowadays." Lin Wan laughed, "Since I follow Longhua Hospital, videos from Hai City Huayi Medical College were pushed to me."

"The video has already been edited and processed; students these days are professional." Lin Wan opened her phone, started the video, and handed it to Liu Qingyan in the front seat. "The angle is well shot too."

Liu Qingyan took the phone, and Lu Zheng also glanced at it.

The videographer was positioned not far behind the goal, presumably ready to capture goals.

In the screen, Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan were far away, appearing only as small dots.

In the video, Lu Zheng’s first ball had already gone in, and as the second approached, the ball was passed to him after several exchanges.

Soon, Lu Zheng rushed up and gave it a powerful kick.

"Bang!"

The screen audio even captured the sound of the contact with the ball.

The next moment, the net shook intensely, arched backward, and the background echoed with shouts of "Damn" and "Nee-ma!"

Then it showed a slow-motion replay.

Slowed down to a threefold extent, the lens finally captured a black shadow, tracing the ball’s flight trajectory in the air, ultimately sinking into the dead corner.

"Awesome!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo possessed!"

"Successor of Old Bei!"

"War God Batty!"

"Super Carlos!"

"Could I ask, those leaving comments, how old are you?"

"Ugh!"

"I think he’s got the template system of Haaland and Mbappe, how about it, I’m young right!"

...

"Loads of people in the comments are shouting for you to quickly save the national soccer team!" Lin Wan laughed, "How about it, any interest?"

"I’ve no damn interest!" Lu Zheng replied, continuing to drive, "Join the national team and kill off all the stewards there?"

Lin Wan stroked her chin and nodded, pretending to consider seriously, "It’s not entirely out of the question."

As an Interpol agent, Lin Wan had access to internal data, knowing quite a lot of stuff. The filthy matters in foreign football associations were numerous, and as for domestic ones... best left unsaid.

"Don’t investigate, laugh it off, once investigated, they all deserve to die!" Lin Wan joked, "If you went in and took them down, none above would say a word, you know, among the elders above, there are fans too."

Lu Zheng was speechless, "Can we stop discussing soccer, please? It’s frustrating!"

"Alright, alright!" Lin Wan nodded repeatedly, "No more soccer talk, let’s discuss something else. Our International Criminal Police Organization’s Hai City office recently assigned several foreign investigators here."

"Hmm?" Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "What’s up?"

"Recently, many foreign intelligence operatives, some publicly and others covertly, have entered the country." Lin Wan said, "Like embassy personnel, due to limited numbers, many ordinary clerk positions were replaced by professional intelligence officers."

"Investigating the Red Chess River project?" Liu Qingyan asked.

"Strictly speaking, it’s the hidden truth behind the Red Chess River project." Lin Wan smiled, "Apart from embassies abroad, many enter as employees of foreign businesses, signing work visas.

However, posing as ordinary employees in China, it’s often inconvenient so some international agencies with certain privileges have become hot properties."

"Like the International Criminal Police Organization?" Liu Qingyan asked with a smile.

Lin Wan nodded, "Like the International Criminal Police Organization. Interpol has liaison offices in Beidu, Hai City, Yangcheng, Feng City, Shu Capital. Recently, citing external delegations and easy communication, headquarters assigned two foreign staff to each liaison office.

Of course, with equal privileges, we also dispatched some people abroad. This is an open play, what you can obtain depends on your skills."

"Goodness, are you Interpol or spy agents?" Lu Zheng couldn’t resist asking.

Lin Wan shrugged, "That depends on what kind of people the country behind Interpol needs; spy agents can also moonlight in fighting crime, sometimes their methods are more efficient than ordinary police."

Lu Zheng laughed, "So, how many came to the Hai City office?"

"Three, one from the Lighthouse Country, one from Dai Ying, and one from Japan." Lin Wan snorted disdainfully, "Funnily enough, they tried to bait me, seeking information from me."

Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan exchanged puzzled glances and burst into laughter.

What would you call this?

Directly asking the subject for intel?
