Chapter 162 The Whole Story!
"V, the quality of your message is pretty good and the reliability is very high. I believe you didn't lie to me."
At this moment, Bryce was smiling from ear to ear, "In order to repay you for telling the truth, I will give you another piece of intelligence information about the CIA for free!"
"There are many people who are willing to pay for this piece of information. Not to mention making money freely, but there is still a chance to make a small fortune."
As soon as he heard that this was intelligence about the CIA, V immediately cheered up, and he hurriedly asked:
"I don't have time to check whether it's true or not. Can this information be true?"
Faced with V's suspicion, Bryce patted his chest and responded confidently: "V, don't worry, this matter is absolutely true!"
"I am an intelligence trader, how can I still sell you false information?"
After Bryce smiled, he habitually lowered his voice again and said in a mysterious and cautious tone:
"Solomon Reed, the CIA agent who died in the Kanbi Building, was not actually dead. He has now returned to the CIA and continues to work for Miles!"
After the words fell, Bryce showed a very firm look and nodded solemnly to V, indicating that his intelligence was extremely credible.
"This guy is a ruthless character. He can be called the best ace agent in the CIA in recent years. He is currently lurking in Dog Town."
"This is my first-hand intelligence information. It comes from within the CIA. Its authenticity is absolutely reliable. Now many companies are willing to spend money to buy intelligence from the CIA. If you resell it, you will definitely make a lot of money. !”
After listening to the CIA information provided by Bryce, V did not show any excitement. As for the name "Li De", which was not particularly unfamiliar, he had indeed heard of such a number one person.
V knew that the CIA agent Li De appeared in the Kanbi Building incident, but he didn't know if all these CIA agents were really dead.
If there really is a situation like Li De's resurrection from the dead, it can only mean that the LA company that blocked the scene as soon as possible has reached some kind of deal with Li De in private.
Although V didn't know what kind of deal LA Company and Li De would probably reach, he could guess that it was mainly about intelligence gathering.
After all, Li De is a professional agent of the CIA, and intelligence lurking is his specialty, and LA Company does need this kind of talent.
But if this is the case, Li De still maintains contact with his old employer, the FBI, even though he already has a previous LA company. Isn't this a typical double agent?
One person working two jobs can be called a model worker in the secret service world!
"Okay, this information is of some use to me."
At this time, V couldn't help but look Bryce up and down. He had to admit that this guy was indeed a talent in intelligence, and he could even get such confidential information.
Fortunately, LA Company's internal information confidentiality was pretty good, otherwise, V would have probably been recognized as the lone wolf spy.
"So V, now that our deal has been made and intelligence information has been exchanged, is it time to let me go? Time is money, and I still have a lot of things to do."
Bryce begged with a bitter look on his face. He originally just wanted to search for some information in the Voodoo Gang's subnet before withdrawing, but it has been delayed until now and he has not been able to escape.
After finishing today's work tasks, he could still go to the private theater to choose a classic western cowboy movie, or go to the Mewtwo Club to relax.
Now I can only sit here, not knowing what I am waiting for.
"No, you have to wait here with me. Before my boss calls, neither of us can leave this room!"
V's tone suddenly became serious. Before the matter was completely settled, he would not easily let Bryce go out and spread the news.
So as not to ruin Li Ang's plan.
Seeing that he couldn't get away and leave, Bryce simply lay on the bed and started to daze. At worst, he would stay here and wait for a day or two to see who could outlast whom.
He didn't believe that V could keep waiting here!
Fortunately, it didn't take long for V to receive a phone call from the LA company. When V walked out of the room and went outside alone to answer the phone, Bryce couldn't help but follow him quietly.
He tried to eavesdrop on some intelligence information, which he might be able to use.
However, the content of V's reply was too concise, basically consisting of the words "Okay, OK, I understand."
Bryce didn't hear any valuable information at all.
[This task has ended. You can now move around on your own. This is the bonus given to you by Mr. Li Ang. Pay attention to safety outside, that's all. 】
The person who spoke was V's immediate boss, Ott Cunningham. After explaining some precautions, Ott immediately transferred 100,000 euros in electronic currency to V's account.
bite!
The sound of money arriving in the account came.
The moment he received the money, V was immediately shocked by the inhumane operation of LA Company. This was the first time that he had completed a commission task with such a large bonus!
If I had known that I could make so much money by inserting a chip into the Poseidon subnet server of the Voodoo Gang, then who would be willing to take jobs from middlemen every day and do tasks with less money and more work?
V felt in his heart that he was worthless for his past self. Unfortunately, he worked hard for those middlemen to complete tasks, and in the end, the money he earned was less than one-tenth of what the LA company gave him.
Shivering!
"By the way, during this operation, I discovered some other intelligence information, and now I need to report it directly to the boss!"
V did not intend to hide the news he received today from Li Ang, because the information was too fragmented for him.
He and Johnny couldn't restore the truth of the matter just by relying on their own brainstorming and reasoning.
Instead of going out on your own and wasting time and effort to investigate the situation, it is better to directly ask Li Ang what is going on. This is called efficient.
[Okay, I will transfer the call to Mr. Li Ang now. Before formally reporting the news, pay attention to whether there are any suspicious persons around you. 】
When he officially connected the phone to Li Ang, the cautious Otto did not forget to remind V.
"clear."
After the words fell, V directly activated the Chapter 6 network access chamber, and used the ICE intrusion protocol to short-circuit Bryce's brain not far behind him, causing him to pass out on the spot.
Although such a hacking attack is not fatal, it is enough to make Bryce sleep in the room for most of the day.
Immediately, V answered Li Ang's call. On the phone, V reported all the information collected today to Li Ang in detail.
When he learned that V actually met such a strange intelligence trader, Li Ang couldn't help but chuckle.
It wasn't that he wanted to take Bryce under his wing, he just found this matter interesting.
Bryce may be a wizard in intelligence trading, but he has no special training value for LA Company.
After all, LA Company's intelligence department has long been fully using the AI Red and White Queen for intelligence collection.
Not to mention the news in Night City, the entire America and the world have AI spies from LA Company.
This is much faster than simply using agents to collect intelligence.
[V, you have completed the task very well this time. Keep working hard and report to me if there is any situation. 】
Li Ang emphatically praised V and gave V an additional bonus of 100,000 euros in his own name. This was regarded as a reward for V's truthful reporting of work.
Although Li Ang had long known about Li De's secret collusion with Miles, he didn't care, as long as Li De was carrying out the tasks he assigned.
As for whether he is a double agent, it doesn't matter to Li Ang. Anyway, to LA Company, Li De is a pure tool.
If you can use it, keep using it. If you can't, it won't be a pity even if it kills you.
However, what made Li Ang very satisfied was that through this mission, he saw V's good attitude of reporting the work situation to him in a timely manner.
In the communication between superiors and subordinates, timely reporting of work is the top priority for subordinates. This is the most solid way to show loyalty, and it is more important than making any achievements!
And V has done very well in this aspect, which means that V is a talent worth cultivating and can be used as a confidant.
"These are what I should do. By the way, Mr. Li Ang, I still have something to ask you about, about the Russian network outage and Li De."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, V asked questions that had puzzled him for a long time. If he didn't understand the truth of these things, he always felt that something was not right.
Regarding V's questions, Li Ang was very frank and told him clearly the ins and outs of the Transcendental AI and the basic information about Li De.
Li Ang even informed V of Li De's contact location.
After figuring out the truth of all the recent events, V suddenly realized that it was like a toilet that had been clogged for a long time suddenly became clear, and everything became clear.
After a while, after Li Ang hung up the phone, V could finally relax and take a breath.
After looking at Bryce who was already unconscious in the room, V conveniently paid him 800 euros for medical treatment and then quietly left the place.
Bryce, who fell to the ground, slept until noon the next day, then he woke up in a daze, clutching his head with a splitting headache.
"Damn... I'm so careless, this guy is actually a hacker!"
After waking up, Bryce immediately realized that he had been tricked by V. He cursed and touched his pockets to make sure there was nothing missing.
Fortunately, after checking carefully, he did not find that he had lost any valuable items. Instead, he noticed that there was an extra transfer of 800 euros in his personal electronic account.
Bryce subconsciously touched his butt, and after feeling no obvious pain, he breathed a sigh of relief.
