"Yes. Miss Parker nodded and told Pang Jindong: "Even Congress is not qualified to review the CIA's budget, so the CIA has quite a lot of money to do anything, and it is conceivable that there must be a lot of shady things in this." After the new director came to power, he took the means of taking a thorough look at the accounts of his predecessor, and as a result, a huge black hole was discovered, from which he concluded that the storage of the center was in Zài. ”

Pang Jindong lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and said: "In order to prevent the center's storage from being leaked out, those who know have all committed suicide, and even if the new director knows, it is useless!"

"It's not all dead, for example, my father is alive and well, otherwise how can the center be rebuilt?" Miss Parker shook her head and told Pang Jindong: "Come back, the center will help you solve all your troubles!"

"Give me a reason to go back!"

"Give me a reason why you don't come back, what did you join the center for in the first place? wealth, ability, stimulation, and now the center can double what you can give, including power. ”

Pang Jindong sneered and told Miss Sù Parker: "These things are no longer what I want!"

In the face of Pang Jindong's attitude, Miss Parker changed her approach: "You don't seem to understand your identity, Jerry, you are the property of the government of country M, and you are a weapon worth 30 million US dollars." It's just that you didn't play your role for a long time due to a temporary problem with saving your arsenal, and luckily this mistake has now been corrected. ”

Miss Parker's words made Pang Jindong feel very angry: "You murdered my parents, and even marked me a price as a property!"

"It was the former CIA director who made your upbringing plan and murdered your parents. He's already dead, and there's no need for you to get revenge. And our new boss is no longer the CIA, but the Department of Homeland Security. Miss Parker also lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, spit out a smoke ring at Pang Jindong, and continued: "Actually, we are all the same!"

"How did the Department of Homeland Security find out about the center's existence and find you scumbags and try to rebuild this damn institution?"

"Shall we talk later?" Miss Parker snuffed out her cigarette butt and suddenly turned to ask, "What did Bernard give you on the day the center disbanded?"

Bernard was the center's treasurer and was sent to work at the embassy in country Z for several years, during which time he became fascinated with Chinese culture. Therefore, after knowing that Pang Jindong is Chinese, he is very concerned about Pang Jindong.

The management of the center is quite strict, and there is very little contact between people at different levels or in different departments. Corresponding to the hierarchy is the level of secrecy and the authorization to enter the internal network system, and the higher the level, the more people know about the things and the greater the authority.

Pang Jindong was only a lowest-ranking trainee who knew very little. When Bernard was with Pang Jindong, he never said anything about the high-level affairs of the center, but he used his identity to give Pang Jindong more freedom. It was under Bernard's care that Pang Jindong spent his years in the center very comfortably, not realizing the cruelty and ruthlessness of the center.

Recalling this old man, Pang Jindong asked, "Is he okay?"

"After you and the other trainees left, he committed suicide. You should be able to understand that someone like him, who has a lot of secrets, especially when it comes to money, will definitely be killed if he doesn't kill himself. ”

"He's a good guy!" Pang Jindong said gloomily.

Miss Parker said, "I don't care about his character, I only care about what he gives you!"

Pang Jindong shook his head and replied, "Nothing!"

"Don't you say it, it's okay, wait until you get back to the center and have plenty of time to remember!"

Pang Jindong sneered and said, "You are dreaming!"

"This dream, I really want to do it!"

Pang Jindong looked back at Benjamin's corpse and felt a sour feeling in his heart. Pang Jindong said: "We used to be good friends, but I didn't expect the reunion after a long absence to be like this. ”

"Because we've all grown up, Jerry. ”

"But I won't change like you!" The words landed, and the gun in Pang Jindong's hand suddenly rose upwards and fired a shot. At the same time, the other hand took out another gun, and quickly waved it sideways, firing a second shot.

Two round-the-turn bullets bypassed Miss Parker and landed pinpoint in the foreheads of the two people behind her, including the one who killed Uncle Benjamin.

"Hell!" Miss Parker didn't expect Pang Jindong to launch a surprise attack, and hurriedly drew their guns with two other men.

Pang Jindong didn't give them a chance to counterattack, and the two guns fired non-stop, and at the same time ran backwards to the rear.

Miss Parker and her men hurriedly fired two shots and immediately ducked behind the exit of the stairs.

As soon as he came here, Pang Jindong noticed a fire ladder hanging by the platform behind him, and then he planned to get out. Pang Jindong retreated to the edge of the platform, threw away one gun, and bit the other gun in his mouth, while jumping backwards.

After Pang Jindong jumped out of the roof, he fell steadily onto the fire ladder, firmly grasped the handrail of the fire ladder with both hands, and quickly slid down. But Pang Jindong did not fall directly to the ground, because Miss Parker had already caught up, and as long as she shot above the platform, Pang Jindong, who was hanging on the fire ladder, would become the best target.

There was a window next to the fire ladder, and when Pang Jindong slid there, he suddenly stopped, kicked and shattered the glass, and then jumped sideways and grabbed the edge of the window sill, and climbed into it with both arms.

Just as Pang Jindong entered the house, bullets flew behind him.

There was only one old man in the room, who was lying on a chair watching TV, and Pang Jindong's sudden appearance made him stunned and stupidly watched.

"I'm sorry!" Pang Jindong bowed and ran out quickly.

Miss Parker was never able to catch up with Pang Jindong, and Pang Jindong returned to the hotel and let out a long breath while lying on the bed.

Although he felt relieved for a while, the pain caused by the truth made Pang Jindong's heart quickly heavy again.

Murphy's Law says that if something is likely to have the worst outcome, then it must go in the worst direction.

The possibility that Pang Jindong is most reluctant to face has been confirmed, that is, he has been living in a conspiracy for the past ten years. Thinking of this, Pang Jindong felt like a marionette, performing sadly on the stage arranged by others, and the life he thought belonged to him was actually being manipulated by others. Perhaps those who carry the thread are looking at themselves with mockery from above.

It was also not until this time that Pang Jindong understood what Agent Thompson said in China. Contacted Jin Lingling said that Agent Thompson had told her that she had been prevented by the CIA from investigating Pang Jindong's experience. Then the context of the matter is very clear, in order to murder Pang Jindong, Detective Thompson investigated Pang Jindong's background in detail, so as to grasp the true cause of death of Pang Jindong's parents, and at the same time inadvertently discovered the Corbino plan. In order to prevent the plan from leaking, the CIA prevented him from continuing the investigation.

"You're still very lucky, after all, you didn't get killed by the CIA, and you lived for a while longer!" Pang Jindong said in a low voice, perhaps hoping that Agent Thompson, who was in another world, could hear.

For Pang Jindong, what is even more painful is that he cannot avenge his parents. Because whether it is the Gambino mafia or the CIA, the parties who created their own tragedies in the first place are already dead. And treating the entire organization or the CIA as an enemy is unnecessary and will never achieve the goal.

Especially for an agency like the CIA, although some people think that the CIA is not the largest and most mysterious agency in country M, there is no doubt that the CIA is the world's largest in the eyes of the world in terms of the number and quality of its staff, the coverage of its network, and the scale of its network.

This organization was established under the National Security Act of 1947, signed by former President Harry S. Truman, and was passed by Congress, and the director is directly appointed by the president. From its inception, it was given the task of "obtaining intelligence by overt and covert means, while at the same time providing intelligence analysis, identifying national intelligence targets, and gathering relevant intelligence information from all government agencies." Such a mission, and has the authority to engage in actions to subvert foreign governments. It serves as a senior intelligence adviser to the president and Congress, and is often referred to as the president's "ear." It is said that after the establishment of the CIA, the first person President Truman met each day was always the CIA.

One of the CIA's fortes is to overthrow democratically elected governments and then prop up military regimes. These include neo-fascism in Greece, far-right dynasties in Iran, murderous regimes in Guatemala, Falangists in Lebanon, military tyranny in Suharto in Indonesia, and Pinoche military regime in Chile...... There was even the apartheid regime in South Africa, and it was recently revealed that it was the CIA that handed Mandela over to the custody of the South African police authorities. Even Osama bin Laden, the boss of al-Qaeda, who now makes people in country M hate so much, was single-handedly pulled by the CIA.

But in the aftermath of 9/11, the C.I.A. was criticized for being unaware of a terrorist attack of this magnitude after spending a lot of taxpayers' money. As a result, the C.I.A. has declined in recent years, and many of its functions have been replaced by the newly created Department of Homeland Security and other departments.

But in any case, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and in front of the most powerful institutions of the most powerful countries in the world, Pang Jindong is just an insignificant little person.

Pang Jindong asked himself in his heart: "My little butterfly, even if I flap my wings desperately, what can I do?"

Although he had to let the hatred disappear, Pang Jindong faced a new problem while fleeing - evading the pursuit of the center. For this reason, Pang Jindong must figure out what Bernard left behind.

In fact, Bernard did leave Pang Jindong with one thing, which was a statue of Venus.

On the morning of the center's disbandment, Bernard called Pang Jindong to his office. His mood was very heavy, and after a simple blessing, he gave the statue to Pang Jindong. Although this is just a very inconspicuous and ordinary imitation, Bernard told Pang Jindong to keep it well.

At that time, Bernard stroked Venus's severed arm and said meaningfully: "Good things are often mutilated......"

Although he was not interested in Venus, Pang Jindong kept the statue as a memento of Bernard and that period of life, which is still displayed in his home to this day.

Pang Jindong immediately called Han Feng, but he didn't expect that before he could say anything, Han Feng was busy reporting the good news: "Our real estate was officially put on sale, but it was booked out on the same day." According to my plan, the integrated service center will be fully operational in a month at most, and the duty-free shops, KTVs and hotels will be ready for trial operation immediately. According to the city's plan, the CBD still has a year to build, but the market demand is already there, and we have undoubtedly seized the opportunity. ”

"Set aside the best floors of the office building for our own use, and ask for the most high-end decoration!"

"Absolutely. After Han Feng agreed, he told Pang Jindong: "I plan to buy the nearby land and build a super-large mall." ”

"You have full control over this matter!" After a pause, Pang Jindong continued: "Do a good job, I'll give you a dry share!"

Han Feng didn't say anything, just smiled embarrassedly, and then reported to work.

Before Pang Jindong left, he once told everyone not to contact him unless he had to do anything. Obviously, this suffocated Han Feng, and he could only wait for Pang Jindong to call before he could ask for instructions and report.

When Pang Jindong arranged the company's affairs, Han Feng said again: "Mr. Shen called me several times today, and asked me to tell you immediately, the two new open-end funds are all oversubscribed and can only be allocated proportionally. The previous resource monopoly fund performed well, ranking third in net value growth in the quarter. ”

"Oh!" Pang Jindong replied absentmindedly, and then instructed Han Feng: "You go to my house, there is a statue of Venus in a corner of the living room, and send it to me by express mail immediately." Be careful not to use my own name, the recipient is a friend of mine, Eric Chen, to whom I intend to give this statue. ”

After leaving the address of the hotel to Han Feng, Pang Jindong hung up the phone and secretly prayed in his heart that the statue would not be destroyed by Lin Peiwen.

Originally, Pang Jindong also wanted Han Feng to know about Lin Peiwen's recent situation, whether it caused any losses to the family, and how Masaharu Kazama came to Country M, but after thinking about it, he was worried about extraneous branches, so he didn't open his mouth in the end.

For the next few days, Mr. Pang spent the next few days just hiding in his room watching television, and now news reports are trying to downplay the assassination of Senator Revi. It's just that his life and death are still a mystery, and Pang Jindong wants to investigate, but he doesn't know where to start.
