Chapter 1157 Collecting Interest

"Ah, I remembered it wrong. I wanted to take inventory of what we have left. Please make way."

Claire knew that there was nothing in that room, so she took Zhang Pin in.

In fact, Zhang Pin's guess was correct. The reason why Claire survived was naturally because she was the insider.

Or one of the insiders.

The real insider was naturally Claire's husband, Ethan's captain Jim.

And the reason why Claire appeared here was also very simple.

Jim's original intention was to earn enough money for the rest of his life through the transaction of the undercover list.

But who would have thought that his little move had long been noticed by Langley, and this time he set a trap to catch the insider in one fell swoop.

But it must be said that Jim has served Langley for decades and is familiar with the internal process.

Although he did not realize that this mission was a trap, he had already prepared to clear his suspicion.

In fact, if it weren't for the coincidence that Zhang Pin and Bourne appeared and saved Ethan, Jim would not have achieved his goal of stealing intelligence, but he had already made Ethan take the blame for him, and he successfully escaped.

However, despite the accident, Ethan survived by coincidence.

But in Jim's view, this is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is an extra opportunity for him to turn over.

Because he is familiar enough with Langley and Ethan.

Because the people on the Langley side are used to being strong, they will never listen to the explanation of the weak before they have control of the situation.

And Jim also knows better that Ethan is young and energetic, and he is very capable, and he will not swallow this breath.

Of course, the more critical information is that he learned from the intelligence broker Max that Ethan and the other party had reached a deal. The other party would provide Langley's undercover list in Europe, and the condition was naturally that Max told him who the insider was.

After knowing this news, Jim immediately changed his plan and rearranged his wife Claire to come back, wanting to take Ethan's ride and get the undercover list himself.

After Claire came back, she quickly convinced Ethan with her excellent acting skills and learned the other party's plan.

But now Zhang Pin's appearance was not in Claire and Jim's plan.

Long before Claire came back, Jim guessed what the other party would do to get Langley's undercover list based on Ethan's understanding.

He even considered that Ethan had reached an agreement with Kittridge, the purpose of which was to lure him out again.

According to Jim's guess, Ethan wanted to get the undercover list smoothly, and it was obviously impossible for him and Claire alone to do it.

No matter how the other party planned, they would definitely find other helpers.

And Claire's original position in the team was to assist, so the matter of finding people would definitely fall on Claire's side in the end.

For this reason, Jim has arranged a very skilled helper, who will pretend to join Ethan's team at that time, and then wait until he gets the undercover list, and then the other party will start to snatch it.

But who knows that before Claire arranges the insider, Zhang Pin has joined the team first.

Teams like theirs that are trying to stir up trouble always have as few people as possible.

Now that Zhang Pin, a guy who looks very strong, has appeared, it is almost impossible for Claire to arrange their people to join the team.

In order to prevent the plan from going wrong, Claire prepared a beauty trap.

Her original intention was to bring Zhang Pin into the house, and then immediately pretend to be taken advantage of by Zhang Pin.

Claire knew that Ethan was not used to being below the moral bottom line, not to mention that she was still a widow.

At that time, it would be natural to drive Zhang Pin out, and even take the opportunity to kill him, and then make room for their own people to join Ethan's team.

Claire thought it was perfect, but she overlooked one thing.

That is Zhang Sir himself.

In Claire's stereotyped impression, almost all Asians would be very humble when facing white people, or even people of different skin color, and usually behave like clowns, not even daring to look at them.

The reason why Claire suddenly stopped was that she wanted to have physical contact with Zhang Pin on purpose, so that when she entered the room, she could use the excuse that Zhang Pin would take advantage of her.

But Claire never expected that Zhang Pin was completely different from the Asian he imagined.

It stands to reason that after she suddenly stopped and the two of them had physical contact, Zhang Pin should have stepped back immediately to show his so-called gentlemanly manners.

But who would have thought that after Zhang Pin bumped into her, he not only did not step back, but took the initiative to move closer, so that the two bodies were tightly pressed together, and he also stretched out his hands and hugged Claire's chest tightly.

It was Zhang Pin's action that made Claire scream.

When Claire was hugged by Zhang Pin for the first time, her first reaction was not fear, but she was ready to call Ethan to come over and take a look, and then use the other party to take advantage of her to drive Zhang Pin away.

As a result, who knew that before she could say these words, Ethan found that there was something wrong with her excuse when she called Zhang Pin before.

It happened that at this time, in order to experience the touch, Sir Zhang began to clench his hands around her chest.

Claire was confused by Ethan and Zhang Pin's completely unconventional actions.

In a hurry, Claire only wanted to get out of Zhang Pin's clutches as soon as possible, so she naturally didn't dare to use the excuse that she was taken advantage of by Zhang Pin to drive him away.

"Forgot? This is your safe house. You have such a bad memory, but you can still be recruited by Langley as an intelligence officer. Did you get in through the back door?"

However, Zhang Pin did not let go of Claire after hearing her words.

It must be said that different races have very different habits.

I don't know if it's because of freedom, many women in America don't seem to like wearing bras.

For example, although Claire is wearing a windbreaker outside her dress, after Zhang Sir personally experienced it, he can be sure that there is no other obstacle under the dress.

In fact, Zhang Pin had roughly guessed that the other party had no good intentions when Claire asked him to help.

However, relying on his high skills and courage, Zhang Sir was naturally not afraid.

Now that Claire has offered herself to him, it would be a loss for Sir Zhang not to charge a little interest.

"No, I, I just forgot because I was too nervous. In fact, I just realized that I had taken the wrong path, so I stopped."

Claire had never expected that Zhang Pin would be so bold, and now he even grasped her advantage and began to pinch her gently.

In a hurry, she was so nervous that she was about to cry.

"Oh, what do you want to take? Just point it to me, and I'll help you get it."

After finding that the other party's body was hard, Sir Zhang finally loosened his fingers.

"I want to take inventory of the weapons in the safe house. The things should have been placed in the next room by Jim."

Claire heard what Zhang Pin said, and stretched out her hand to point to another room.

Then she stood there honestly and watched Zhang Pin walk in.

It was indeed inconvenient for her to leave at this moment. Sir Zhang was definitely a veteran in the flower field. He had experienced so many women, so he certainly knew how to quickly make the other party calm down.

Although it was just a few random shots, Claire's body was so weak that she could not stand up straight until Sir Zhang hugged her.

"There are only three small pistols and less than 200 rounds of bullets. There is not a penny left. Didn't you say that he rushed out to rescue when the accident happened? He took it too clean."

Zhang Pin walked into the next room and took out the weapons that Jim left in the safe house.

Then he complained casually.

Hearing his words, Ethan and Claire reacted differently, but neither of them said much at this time.

Claire was afraid of saying more and making more mistakes, and after what Sir Zhang did before, she didn't dare to say anything at this time.

Ethan was checking the list of suitable members that Claire had found for him to recruit, and he didn't care about the performance of Zhang Pin and Claire.

"Why not find these two."

Ethan quickly identified two candidates who could be recruited and were good enough from the crowd selected by Claire.

One of them is a computer expert. The reason why he was removed from Langley was that he had nothing to do and hacked into the network of NATO headquarters, exposing his work plan.

The other person is not only very skilled, but more importantly, he has great power and can get a lot of things that exist on the market but are almost never circulated in the market.

Seeing that Ethan chose these two targets, Claire, who was a little nervous, felt relieved.

Because the insider she was going to arrange into the team happened to be among them.

"I have no interest in going into Langley, so why not just be responsible for the support outside."

Zhang Pin didn't care about Ethan's choice. He cared about the insider who would appear after the other party got the intelligence.

Before getting the intelligence, Sir Zhang naturally had no interest.

Originally, Sir Zhang was still somewhat interested in the intelligence that Ethan got, but before coming to see Ethan, Sir Zhang contacted Yang Jianhua on purpose.

Then he learned from Yang Jianhua that Langley's undercover list was not so easy to get.

Things like this are not only kept very strictly, but more importantly, even the saved lists are actually encrypted.

Even if you get a single list, it is of no use to ordinary people.

Unless you can get the code sheet that Langley specially set up for his undercover list, and get several corresponding information at the same time.

Then you have to know the information corresponding to the code sheet, so that you can decipher the other party's undercover list.

So in theory, as long as one thing is missing, this undercover list is actually invalid for other forces except Langley.

In this case, Sir Zhang naturally has no interest in this information.

As for why the intelligence broker Max is interested in it and is willing to pay a high price to buy it since this information is theoretically useless to other forces.

This question is naturally very simple. The reason why Max is interested in this information is naturally because she has obtained other information about Langley's undercover list from Jim.

Even the other party has already obtained the code book for deciphering the undercover list in advance.

Otherwise, how could Jim be willing to sell all the information and leave Langley?

In theory, if Zhang Pin and others want to get the list of Langley's undercover agents in Europe, they only need to deal with the intelligence broker Max, and then get the intelligence from him.

But this is just a theory.

When Yang Jianhua learned that Zhang Pin was going to get intelligence from Langley, he specifically reminded him not to ask for any intelligence.

For Rabbit, the problem with Langley has never been intelligence, but the power behind the intelligence.

As the world's only superpower, America does many things openly and honestly, and does not need intelligence at all.

For example, if they suspect that other forces have weapons of mass destruction, then even if there is no evidence, the other party can do it if they want.

Especially when Rabbit is so big, many disputes between the two sides are more like a competition of strength than an intelligence war.

Specifically, the undercover list this time is actually similar.

For forces that have reached a certain level, such as most European authorities, this list is actually not a secret.

After all, even if there is no list of undercover agents, you can tell what kind of people they are just by looking at their usual tendencies.

So the ones who need this intelligence are not the orthodox forces like the Rabbit or the European authorities, but some shady forces, such as gangs, arms dealers or white-faced merchants who compete with Langley in business.

After knowing this situation, Zhang Pin naturally had no interest in this intelligence.

This is also the reason why he chose to join Ethan's team.

When the intelligence was of no use to him, he naturally cared more about the inner ghost.

"Okay!"

Hearing Zhang Pin's words, Ethan and Claire breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.

The reason why Ethan breathed a sigh of relief was that the reason he agreed to Zhang Pin's joining was not because of his ability, but because of his hostile relationship with Langley.

After all, Zhang Pin, as an enemy of Langley, was also a bargaining chip for Ethan to negotiate with Kittridge.

Not to mention that it seemed that Bourne was also mixed with Zhang Pin.

If he could take the opportunity to solve the hidden danger of Bourne, it would be of great help to Ethan to atone for his sins.

Before that, if Zhang Pin's participation led to the leakage of Langley's intelligence, Ethan would be blamed.

Now that Zhang Pin has taken the initiative to express that he will not participate in the acquisition of intelligence, the other party will naturally have no chance to get involved in the intelligence.

Claire didn't think so much.

She thought that since Zhang Pin did not participate in the acquisition of intelligence, their plan would not be affected.
