Chapter 107: The Crisis of the Center

Shen Hao said slowly: "The rapid development of information technology in today's era can allow anyone to grasp anything that is happening in this world in a timely manner. The news of the bankruptcy of New Century Finance in country M is not unknown to the citizens of country Z. How much do you think a financial institution that can't get along abroad will have a lot of recognition in China?"

"This ...... I haven't thought about it yet......" Pang Jindong was stunned at first, but after thinking about it, he knew that Shen Hao must have already made a plan: "If your godfather has any ideas, just tell me directly!"

"It's worthy of my godson, knowing that I already have an idea!"

"It seems that I still haven't thought it through, and I need to learn more from my godfather!"

Shen Hao smiled and replied simply and simply: "Let New Century Finance become a shareholder of a state-owned bank!"

At the same time.

"Condolences change!" said Mr. Carr, patting Miss Parker on the shoulder, and his tone was extremely comforting. But when Miss Parker's gaze came to him, he couldn't find a trace of sadness in it.

"Thank you!" said Miss Parker lightly, counting as a gesture of gratitude to Mr. Carr for his comfort.

Miss Parker returns to the center as soon as she escapes from the Red Rock Valley base, but what awaits her is not care, but the bad news - her father has died of a heart attack.

To everyone's surprise, Miss Parker did not show any sadness, and attended her father's funeral very calmly. Dressed in black, she put a bouquet of white flowers on her father's coffin and quietly turned away.

"I know you're sad......," Mr. Carr thought was a self-deception, but if he didn't say that, he wouldn't be able to elicit the next really important words: "But in any case, I hope you will be able to sort out your feelings and get to work quickly." ”

Mr. Carr is another of the center's Big Three, tied with Mr. Parker. He is still young, probably not a few years older than Pang Jindong, and he can't compare with the other two giants in terms of qualifications. Therefore, he was able to climb to this position, which puzzled many people.

He always has a kind smile, and he is polite to everyone, and only those who know him well will know how gloomy his heart is and how vicious his personality is.

In fact, Mr. Carl joined the center when he was a child, and in a certain way, he was still Pang Jindong's predecessor. He was excellent in all respects, and at the age of fourteen he was able to carry out the center's plans independently.

During the two years that Pang Jindong was in the center, he had a lot of contact with Mr. Carl, but he didn't know that it was this person who planned a story about himself.

Miss Parker learned about it from her father by chance, but she didn't say it, otherwise more people would have died.

"I didn't know I was so important to the center!" Miss Parker felt sick at Mr. Carr's concerned expression. But she didn't want to offend Mr. Karl, at least not yet.

"Your father's death is a great loss to the center, and the center can no longer lose you. ”

Miss Parker finally couldn't stand this hypocrisy a little and mocked, "With all due respect, the center's loss is not small now. The battle in Red Rock Valley had lost most of its elite forces, and now the entire center was almost an empty shell, with no one to really do anything except for the civilians who could only put their butts on their chairs. ”

"I know you have every reason to be dissatisfied!" said Mr. Carr, shrugging his shoulders and looking a little sad, "it's all my responsibility, and if I hadn't planned this attack, I wouldn't have suffered such a big loss." ”

Seeing that Mr. Carr generously took responsibility, Miss Parker also softened her tone and made a self-examination: "I am directly responsible for the operation, and I should be responsible!"

"It should be said that none of us thought that Pang Jindong already has enough strength!" Mr. Carr pushed the boat with the flow, not to discuss who was more responsible, but encouraged Miss Parker: "The temporary difficulties will definitely pass, and the strength of the center will accumulate again......"

Before Mr. Carr could finish his sentence, Miss Parker continued for him: "As long as you can get Bernard's money, right?"

"Yes!" Mr. Karl admitted frankly, and even added: "As long as there is money, there is a qiē!"

Miss Parker looked at Mr. Carr with a deep gaze, trying not to express her displeasure in her tone: "Too many people have died for this money, do you think it's worth it?"

Karl said nonchalantly: "Maybe we have different ideas about each other!"

Miss Parker looked around at no one and lowered her voice: "And even if you get this money, it can't belong to the center!"

"In this world, the relationship between people is to use each other, and since the CIA can use us, we can also use the CIA. As for who can achieve their goals in the end, it depends on whose hands the money falls into. Just as you and I do the same thing, if I achieve my goal first, is there any reason to transfer the victory to you?"

Miss Parker couldn't help but be stunned, although she knew that the purpose of the CIA support center was only for money, and the two sides would break up sooner or later, but she didn't expect that Carl would be so outspoken.

Seeing that Miss Parker stopped talking, Mr. Carr smiled indifferently: "In short, it will be fine in one qiē!"

After Mr. Carr turned to leave, two lines of hot tears slipped from Miss Parker's eyes and hit her cheeks so hot that they added to the sadness in Miss Parker's heart.

Although my father was always so busy, although he was rarely seen since he was a child, and although the family affection seemed to be covered with frost in this cold environment, the constant bond hidden in the blood still made Miss Parker feel extremely sad.

Although she is reluctant to show herself in front of others, when she is alone, she can no longer restrain it.

After taking care of the center's affairs, Miss Parker drove back to her home late at night.

The atmosphere in the center became more and more depressing, and everyone was panicking as if the end was coming, but they didn't dare to express it, just with a nervous look, no matter who they met, they didn't want to talk more.

Being able to leave this environment, even if only temporarily, somewhat eased Miss Parker's spirit.

At this time, however, home was not a comfortable haven for Miss Parker. It's not because she's the only one who lives, or because there's always a lack of life here, but because when she opened the door, she noticed that someone had come, perhaps hadn't left yet.

Miss Parker immediately drew her gun from her waist and watched the room warily, fumbling for the switch to the light by the door.

There was indeed a man in the room, who was sitting there looking at Miss Parker deeply, and when Miss Parker saw the man clearly, she put her gun away and breathed a sigh of relief, "Sidney, what are you doing here?"

Sidney's voice was deep and majestic, very magnetic: "Not welcome?"

Sidney is a researcher at the center, with many professional degrees, and everyone calls him "Professor Sidney".

He was over sixty years old and had gray hair. His personality is as deep as his voice, and he always has a kind smile on his face, which, unlike Mr. Carr, is truly kind, without a hint of treachery.

Sidney was one of the few people in the center who was respected and trusted by Miss Parker, and the two men had a very good relationship, often acting like father and daughter.

Miss Parker often felt that Sidney was more like her father than the giant in the center. However, Sidney and Mr. Parker do not have a good relationship, and the two only maintain a superficial friendship.

Miss Parker took off her coat and hung it on the hanger, crossed her hands on her waist, and teased, "I don't know when you learned to pick locks!"

Sidney shrugged his shoulders: "No way! Sometimes, you have to learn something you don't want to learn!"

"Okay, sue me, what's the matter with you?"

"I need to talk to you!"

"Why don't you talk about it in the center?"

Sidney stood up and walked to the door, closed it gently, and said meaningfully, "I don't think a third person should hear the rest of the conversation!"

Miss Parker nodded knowingly, "My home is absolutely safe!"

"Are you sure there are no bugs?"

"If there is a bug, your identity and what you just said will already be known!" Miss Parker smiled rarely, and continued, "You can rest assured, I check it often!"

Sidney nodded, and suddenly asked, "Do you know how your father died?"

Miss Parker's smile froze on her face, and after a moment, she asked in a low voice, "No...... Did you die of a heart attack?"

Sidney shook his head slowly, "You know, your father and I are not as friendly as they seem, but I still respect him. ”

"Because he's the founder of the center?"

"No! The center has already harmed too many people, and it's not a good thing that this situation is now! I respect Mr. Parker because I've worked with him for many years!"

Miss Parker took a deep breath and said, "All right, Sidney, stop beating around the bush and tell me what the hell is going on?

Sidney was silent for a long time, and finally said categorically: "Yes!"

Miss Parker's facial muscles twitched a few times, and she seemed a little hard to believe the fact. After a long time, her tone was cold, and she said in a tone that was almost commanding, "Sue me for what the hell is going on!"

"As soon as the news of the defeat in the battle at Red Rock Valley came, Mr. Carr went to the CIA. After his return, your father died, and the timing was too coincidental. ”

"What else?"

"So I did some investigation and found out that your father was vehemently opposed to recovering Bernard's money. I think the reason is that the recovery of that money also means that the center is responsible for what it has done in the past. He wanted the center to make a radical break with the past and become a place where he could really do something, not become a tool of the CIA. ”

Miss Parker nodded, "This is my father's long-cherished wish!"

"But you have to know what the CIA is helping the center to rebuild, and if it weren't for the money to recover that money and cover people's eyes, they wouldn't need us as a tool at all!

Miss Parker held her head high, covered her eyes with her hands, and said hatefully, "So they need to kick away!"

"When Mr. Carr returned to the center, he went to your father's office once. When he returned to his office, I went to ask him to sign a paperwork. He pretended to have thrown something into the wastebasket, and after the cleaner had cleaned his office, I found it in the garbage. Sidney said, taking out a piece of waste paper wrapped in it and handing it to Miss Parker. "That's what it looked like when I found it, but I've already tested the ingredients inside!"

Miss Parker took this thing and stared at it for a long time before she slowly unwrapped the outer layer of waste paper, her hands trembling a little.

A tiny syringe was wrapped in the waste paper, and a little blue liquid remained in it, and a terrible thought immediately came to Miss Parker's mind.

Sidney explains: "I think you should know about this syringe, which is easy to conceal and can be used to take advantage of unpreparedness......

Miss Parker picked up the syringe and shook it in front of Sidney, interrupting him, "Sue me, is this the CIA's blue poison?"

"Yes!" Sidney sighed, lowered his head and said heavily, "There is tissue from your father's body remaining on the needle. ”

"Hah!" Miss Parker laughed, but there was hatred in it. "I didn't expect this blue poison to disappear, and someone used it to murder my father!"

"Now it seems so!" Shaking his head weakly, Sidney continued, "This drug has been on your father so quickly, and probably Mr. Karl didn't expect it!"

"Mr. Carr really kills two birds with one stone, on the one hand, he has fulfilled the requirements of the CIA and won the appreciation of his master, and on the other hand, his father's death has made him much more powerful!" Miss Parker did not say, Mr. Carr had a conversation with herself today, because there was no longer any need for this. It is clear that Carr's remarks today, especially those confessions about the CIA, are a complete trap to test his attitude towards the Center and the CIA.

Miss Parker was glad that she had not said a word that she should not have said today, because she had always been wary of Mr. Carr.
