Jiang Yu quickly arrived at the office building of the Academy of Social Sciences. In the lobby, he saw two security guards patrolling the building talking and laughing.

The two security guards were a little unfamiliar, and Jiang Yu looked a little strange in his eyes. Jiang Yu guessed that these were people sent by Da Shi, which made him feel more at ease about his next actions.

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

Jiang Yu glanced at the two strong men with a serious expression: "Teacher Kong, what is this?"

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

Jiang Yu followed his words and sat down opposite Kong Xiang: "I have always been very grateful to Teacher Kong for his teachings and help in solving my doubts."

Kong Xiang smiled slightly and took out some photos from the drawer: "See for yourself."

The photos show the scene when Jiang Yu and Shi Qiang met. Two of them were secretly taken when they met today.

Kong Xiang said: "I sent someone to investigate. The other person is a policeman, and he seems to have been transferred to a secret department. Don't try to make excuses, it's meaningless."

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

Kong Xiang let out a long sigh and said with some frustration: "I will put you under house arrest in a secret cell. When our plan succeeds and no one can stop us, we will release you."

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

Jiang Yu clearly felt that Kong Xiang was disappointed from the bottom of his heart, which was obviously different from his less-than-careless encouragement before.

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

"You can say that, which makes me 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 have completed the tasks I assigned you well, you still cannot escape punishment!"

"I know, Teacher Kong has taught me a long time ago that balancing merits and demerits is a compromise between oneself and oneself, and it is a sign of having no position." Jiang Yu took out the cigarette case and handed Kong Xiang a cigarette:

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

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

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

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

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

Jiang Yu has been planning for this step for a long time. He has already made full preparations for what to say next and to what extent.

Hearing Jiang Yu's question, Kong Xiang took a drag on his cigarette. Evans had already said, but even if it involves the master, Jiang Yu's rebellious behavior will definitely be wiped out by the organization.

Kong Xiang has not yet reported to Evans about Jiang Yu's meeting with Shi Qiang. He wants to put Jiang Yu under secret house arrest first, and then report to Evans as appropriate, which may save Jiang Yu's life.

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

Kong Xiang looked at Jiang Yu with solemn eyes for two or three seconds before letting his two subordinates go out the door first.

The two subordinates were also a little confused. They did not expect that Kong Xiang would agree to Jiang Yu's request.

After the two people 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 said it in a vague way, covering up the fact that it took him more than two months to contact Tomoko. In this way, even though they were currently under Sophon's surveillance, the Trisolaran people would not be able to find fault with this sentence.

To Kong Xiang's ears, these words sounded as if the "master" took the initiative to communicate with Jiang Yu.

After all, it is the "Lord" who always takes the initiative to communicate with people in the organization. No matter how devoutly Kong Xiang prays, the Lord never responds.

Kong Xiang was a little surprised and looked at Jiang Yu with envy.

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

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

Jiang Yu made certain guesses based on the Lord's instructions, which is normal.

When the Trisolaris people who used Sophon to monitor Jiang Yu heard this, they couldn't find anything wrong with it. That's what they did.

In addition, Jiang Yu also used a guessing tone to leave himself plenty of room.

The Trisolaris people would also think it was reasonable. After all, through their previous communication process with Jiang Yu, it was not difficult to come up with this guess.

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

He paused before adding: "I can only tell you so much."

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

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

What followed was a reasonable quarrel. He leaned back in his chair and said: "After my communication with the Lord, I discovered that Evans actually monopolizes the power to talk to the Lord.

“I was specially ‘taken care of’ by him because I communicated with the Lord without going through him, which seemed like a transgression to him.

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

Kong Xiang took out a cigarette with a solemn expression, and after lighting it, he remembered to give one to Jiang Yu as well.

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

"Of course I remember, it's Master's birthday." Jiang Yu also changed the topic tacitly: "I have prepared all the gifts!"

Kong Xiang smiled and said, "Come early then. We'll make dinner, so your wife won't have to worry about it that day."

Jiang Yu agreed wholeheartedly.

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

Although Jiang Yu's actions may involve the Lord's plan, Jiang Yu's words cannot be taken at face value.

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

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

It's normal to talk to the police or something like that.

Only a few minutes later, Evans replied to Kong Xiang's email and asked Kong Xiang to continue monitoring.

After receiving the email, Kong Xiang sat in front of the computer and remained silent for a long time. 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 had never completely trusted Evans.

He was dazed for a while before picking up the phone and telling his subordinates not to monitor Jiang Yu anymore. It would be meaningless to continue monitoring Jiang Yu, and it might even arouse the boss's resentment.

…

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

The success of this operation allowed him to find his balance again.

After leaving the office building, Jiang Yu came to Ye Wenjie's house as usual. While helping Ye Wenjie pick vegetables, he whispered to Ye Wenjie:

"Dean Kong suddenly came to me today and said he wanted to introduce me to a party. I guess it was an Adventist party."
