Chapter 1,283 Cooperation with Langley
Chapter 1154 Cooperation with Langley
Langley and the Bureau of Investigation are huge organizations that deal with both the outside world and the inside, so naturally they are not very easy to deal with.
The reason why Langley placed the plan within the territory this time was because of the previous failures, which had caused ridicule from the Bureau of Investigation, and some people had questioned their ability.
He even threatened that if this fishing plan was placed overseas, it would still fail 100%, and the losses would definitely be greater by then.
Because of this, Langley uncharacteristically placed the fishing plan in a territory where they have no law enforcement authority.
Who would have known that this action, which was originally thought to be a sure thing, would actually have an accident.
But at this time, most people in Langley were not only not angry about this, but were extremely happy.
After all, if the previous plan failed overseas, of course Langley himself would have to bear the main responsibility.
But now they have lowered their heads and focused their operations within the territory. However, Luoji Mountain, which was originally praised by the people from the Investigation Bureau as being 100% safe, is actually full of problems.
In this way, they can naturally take the opportunity to dump the blame.
Albert's invitation to Zhang Pin was actually to slap the Investigation Bureau in the face.
After all, the reason why the Investigation Bureau was so loud and embarrassed in front of Langley was because the Investigation Bureau has been in the limelight recently and solved many major cases one after another.
It sounds nice to say that these cases were all solved by the Bureau of Investigation.
But for Langley, who specializes in intelligence, it is clear who played a major role in these cases.
Langley can be described as envious and jealous of the Investigation Bureau's recent jumping up and down and triumphant behavior.
The reason why Albert invited Zhang Pin now is naturally because he knew that most of the cases that the Investigation Bureau could show off before were handled by Zhang Pin.
I have to say that as an enemy, someone like Zhang Pin is definitely a nightmare, but if both parties can become partners, Sir Zhang will be very reassuring.
Albert has decided to throw the blame for this failure to the Investigation Bureau, so he naturally needs to take the first step to recruit the helpers that the other party is proud of.
Under the circumstances, they will definitely be sitting on the Diaoyutai, watching the jokes from the Bureau of Investigation.
"Well, I'm afraid it wouldn't be good for me as an outsider to intervene in this case. These things are absolutely confidential."
Although Zhang Pin was already inclined to cooperate with Langley, he did not agree immediately. Instead, he pretended not to know about the matter and raised his doubts.
The reason why he did this was not only to deliberately manipulate it to increase his own value, but also because he wanted to test Albert's sincerity in inviting him to cooperate.
"Don't worry, the list of European undercover agents that has been reported by the outside world is actually fake news. We deliberately brought it out to find out the insider, and we deliberately added fuel to the flames."
Hearing Zhang Pin's question, Albert immediately gave an explanation. When he heard that the other party did not conceal the truth of the matter, Zhang Pin's last concern was dispelled.
After all, as he said at the beginning, if this case is really related to Langley's undercover list in Europe.
Then if the other party invites you to participate, it is definitely a bad intention.
After all, this kind of information itself is very confidential, and it is definitely at the highest level within Langley, let alone letting outsiders like Zhang Pin have access to it.
So if Albert doesn't tell the truth, Zhang Pin will wonder if the other party has dug a new hole and wants to bury himself in it.
Now that the other party has made it clear that they are just trying to catch the mole, it is reasonable to invite foreign aid.
"In principle, this matter is not a big problem."
Since the other party was honest, Sir Zhang was not prepared to delay.
"Happy, we only ask to find out who the undercover is. Of course, there must be tangible evidence. Apart from that, you can do whatever you want and deal with it cheaply. If there are any problems afterwards, you can let us clean up the beginning and end. "
Hearing the unspoken meaning of Zhang Pin's words, Albert directly gave him a guarantee on the phone.
"Okay, who should I contact about this matter?"
Since the other party was happy, Zhang Pin naturally stopped delaying.
Of course, Albert would not be called upon to catch a mole like this.
"Kittredge, I will give you his phone number when the time comes, and this person will contact you."
After the two reached a consensus, they quickly hung up the phone.
"I've taken on another job, are you interested?"
After Zhang Pin and Bourne left the building, the commandos who were still alive didn't know if they had received the order, but in short, no one attacked them again.
In this way, the two naturally left the building smoothly.
After confirming that the two of them were temporarily safe, Zhang Pin looked at Bourne aside.
Although Albert had obviously brought Bourne along with him when he invited him.
But Zhang Pin did not help Bourne and agreed directly.
"Forget it, I'm not interested. Now that the matter with Langley has been resolved, I actually want to understand that whether I can find my memory or not is not the most important thing, because the memory only represents my past, and I What needs to be grasped now is later.”
I don’t know if it was because of tonight’s scene that gave Bourne enough stimulation.
He originally wanted to retrieve all his memories and settle things with Langley.
But now that he has really reconciled with Langley, he has let it go.
His words are full of expectations for the future.
Hearing the other party say this, Zhang Pin nodded in understanding, and did not intend to persuade the other party.
"Then let's just say goodbye."
He nodded very freely, and then asked another question: "Do you have enough money on you?"
Although he had just given the other party a sum of money, that money was originally for Bourne to use for investigating clues, and now it is not needed.
However, the two sides are about to separate, and they may not meet again in the future. Zhang Sir thought that the other party wanted to live in seclusion, so he thought about whether to sponsor the other party.
This is not because he has any intentions towards Bourne, but because he has made too much money recently and has no place to spend it, so he is so generous at this moment.
"Enough, enough, I still have a little money, and I will also have a way to make money in the future."
Bourne was obviously a little overwhelmed by Zhang Pin's enthusiasm, so he still declined the other party's kindness.
"It's enough to have enough. Too much money is a burden."
Sir Zhang sincerely felt that too much money was a burden at this moment, but Bourne, who was standing next to him, looked very strange when he heard what he said.
If someone else said this, he would definitely think that the other party must be lying. After all, who would really worry about having too much money?
On the contrary, many people have no worries because they are rich enough.
But the person who said this now is Zhang Pin. Bourne thought about the other party's behavior of giving money to others at every turn. This sentence really has a sense of occasion when it falls on Zhang Pin.
Just when Zhang Pin showed off the worries of rich people in front of Bourne, Ethan, who had separated from Zhang Pin, fell into his own worries at this time.
"How can you be okay? I saw you sitting in the car with my own eyes?"
Today, for Ethan, it is definitely the kind of thing that he will never forget for the rest of his life.
I thought it was a very ordinary mission, but it turned out to be a series of accidents. Not only did the mission fail, but all the team members were also sacrificed.
If it was just like this, Ethan would be sad, but he could only choose to accept it.
For people in their line of work, such things are rare, but they do happen.
But everything that happened next was completely beyond Ethan's expectations.
First, his superiors told him that the purpose of the mission was false, and they had long expected that the mission would fail.
And this mission was to find out the undercover, and now all the other members of the team are dead, leaving only him.
When Ethan heard Kittridge say this, he also felt that based on this information, he was indeed the insider.
But reasonable as it is, Ethan himself knows that he can't be the insider.
Because of this, he chose to escape.
On his way to escape, he happened to meet two unexpected people, and this escape also confirmed Ethan's previous wrong idea.
If it weren't for the appearance of Zhang Pin and Bourne at that time, Ethan knew very well that he would definitely be killed by the gunman hiding in the corner.
So the facts proved that if there was no accident, he should have died in the action at night.
Since he would die, it naturally proved that he couldn't be the insider.
Then Zhang Pin's words also reminded him that since Langley was so sure that there was a traitor in his intelligence team, the other party would definitely leave some clues.
Ethan verified with this idea and really got an important clue.
That is, someone in his team did make a deal with the intelligence broker through email. Although the other party did not leave the previous email record, judging from the reply of the intelligence broker, the two parties were not unfamiliar, and could even be considered familiar.
So in order to find out the news, Ethan decisively chose to go to the appointment.
When he met the intelligence broker, the other party obviously knew that Ethan was not the one who contacted him.
Although the intelligence broker did not reveal the identity of the person who had traded with her before, this also made Ethan understand from the side that there was really a traitor in the team, and the other party really sold a lot of Langley's intelligence to the intelligence broker.
In order to dig deeper into this clue, Ethan specifically reminded the other party that there was a problem with the intelligence tonight.
After hearing Ethan's reminder, the intelligence broker did some experiments and really found that this intelligence actually attracted an investigation from Langley.
With this reminder, the intelligence broker's attitude towards Ethan was naturally much friendlier.
So the two sides discussed it, and Ethan asked the intelligence broker to agree that as long as he could get the real list of Langley's undercover agents in Europe, he would not only pay Ethan 20 million US dollars, but also tell him the identity of the person who had traded with him before.
Ethan naturally didn't care about the reward, but he cared very much about who the insider of the team was.
After agreeing to the conditions of the intelligence broker, Ethan returned to the safe house again, and then he began to worry.
At this moment, he was being hunted down because he was mistaken for an insider by Langley, and it was difficult to protect himself.
In addition, all the team members were dead, not to mention helping the intelligence broker get the undercover information with a very high confidentiality level from Langley.
Ethan wanted to make a fake one, but he also knew that the other party was a professional intelligence broker, and it would be difficult to fool the other party with fake intelligence, and it would even put himself in danger.
Just when Ethan was struggling to get the information, there was a noise at the door of the safe house.
This made Ethan alert immediately. He suspected that he might have been found by Kittridge's people.
But just when he was on guard, a person came in at the door that surprised him even more.
This person was none other than Claire, a member of Ethan's intelligence team, who was responsible for the response.
Ethan remembered very clearly that after the computer expert Jack Harmon got into trouble, Captain Jim came from the safe house to respond to them, but was followed halfway.
Ethan deliberately gave up tracking the target and prepared to go to the bridge to respond to Jim.
On his way to the bridge, he saw clearly that Claire was sitting in the car that was supposed to respond to them.
Later, Ethan was unable to respond to Jim, and he saw his partner Sarah die with his own eyes, and then the response car exploded.
Logically, Claire, who was sitting in the car, should have died in the explosion.
But now, the other party has returned to the safe house.
After confirming that the other party was a living person and not a ghost, Ethan naturally doubted Claire.
"No, I was no longer in the car when the explosion occurred. I heard the radio."
Facing the black muzzle of Ethan's gun pointed at her, Claire trembled and wanted to explain.
"Shut up, I saw clearly that you were in the car at that time."
But Ethan didn't believe Claire's explanation at all.
"I left the car. Jim said he was followed. By the way, do you know how Jim is doing? Where are the others?"
Claire didn't choose to shut up, but continued to ask.
"Jim is dead, and the others are dead, dead, they are all dead!"
When Ethan heard Claire's question, he suddenly became very excited.
"Jim is dead"
Claire, who was already very nervous, suddenly collapsed as if she had lost her energy and spirit after hearing the news of Jim's death.
She looked around helplessly and subconsciously, and big tears slid down her face.
"Who sent you to catch me?"
Ethan asked Claire again.
"How could he die?" Claire muttered to herself, as if she didn't hear Ethan's question at all.
Ethan's gun was originally pointed at the other party, but after seeing the other party's action, he lowered it involuntarily.
In addition to being a team member with them, Claire also has another identity, that is, the other party is Jim's wife.
