Chapter 006, Operation Codename: Catalyst
After old Bob had dinner, he rushed back to the bureau to work overtime, and as he had planned those secret operations in the past, old Bob arranged everything with ease, and the whole process only took an hour.
A few days later, at the special branch headquarters base of China's Lanzhou Military Region, Li Ruomo's intelligence agents in Europe intercepted a piece of information, and under Wang Xiaoyu's overtime decryption, he finally got the exact content of it.
"What do you think about this?" In the conference room, the old man sat in a wheelchair with a pale face, and it was difficult to move, while Li Ruomo sat opposite him.
Li Ruomo's question, the old man was not in a hurry to answer, but frowned, if it weren't for the occasional glimmer of light in his cloudy eyes, maybe when someone saw him, they thought he was dead.
After pondering for a long time, the old man was holding a cane, struggling to stand up, Li Ruomo sat opposite, clearly looking at his hand holding a cane trembling because of excessive force, and only a layer of skin was left on his dry hand, but she didn't help him, just watched silently, not knowing what she was thinking.
A few minutes later, the old man finally got up from the wheelchair with difficulty, sat on the chair in the conference room, breathing a little fast, but did not show it, the firmness on his face made people rise in awe, Li Ruomo's reason for not helping him was that he didn't need anyone to help him, which was understood by everyone in the Special Operations Section.
"They," the old man gasped, and after a long time he calmed down, he said, "You should think about how to deal with the incident they made in the United States." ”
"But now this matter is in front of us, and if you don't do it, you will miss the best opportunity." Li Ruomo looked at him, in her eyes, the old man was old, but he was not to the point of being weak and powerless, in her eyes, the old man was still a mountain-like figure, "Those things that are out of reach should be put aside first, and dealing with the things at hand is the top priority, this is what you taught me." ”
"Huh." The old man nodded, his mouth opened and closed, and he was silent for a while before he said, "I won't live long, you can handle this matter yourself." ”
Hearing this, Li Ruomo's eyes showed a little surprise, and soon disappeared again, the meaning of the old man's words was tantamount to telling her that now the two action groups of Tekko's AB are under the command of Li Ruomo, and from now on he will delegate power.
For a while, Li Ruomo suddenly had an indescribable sense of loss in her heart, just like the mountain in front of her suddenly fell, which made her a little uncomfortable.
It's just that this feeling disappeared quickly, she looked at the old man, and her heart was replaced by excitement, but when she saw the old man trembling towards the wheelchair again, as if he was going to sit on it, Li Ruomo couldn't help but feel a little lonely on his face, this old man has been on the front line all his life, and as long as the difficult troubles are in his hands, they can be easily solved.
No matter how powerful the enemy is, it will not cause the slightest emotional fluctuation on the old man's face, he is always so cold, making people have a majesty that they dare not approach, and now under the torture of illness, this old man, who is already over half a hundred years old, wants to sit back in a wheelchair so difficult.
Li Ruomo suddenly stood up, walked to the old man's side, and held the old man's hand, but found that the old man was glaring angrily and wanted to open it, but Li Ruomo didn't let go, just said calmly: "Even if steel is rusty, there is a day when it rusts." ”
The old man hesitated for a moment in his eyes, and finally gave up the struggle, shook his head, and let Li Ruomo help him walk to the wheelchair and sit down, it was such a simple action, the old man was a little out of breath, but he endured it and did not expose his powerlessness, but the more he did so, the more painful he became, and a trace of fine sweat broke out on his face, and his whole body was shaking involuntarily.
"Sometimes, what should be put down, you have to let go." Li Ruomo said calmly.
"Lang after the Yangtze River pushes Lang on the front." The old man glanced at Li Ruomo deeply, "If you weren't a daughter, how good it would be." ”
"I can assure you that I will never do worse than you." Li Ruomo's tone was full of deep confidence, and this method seemed to be understood only by the old man.
So the old man was not angry, but smiled, as if he was really relieved in his heart, and was silent for a while, but he didn't leave, just held Li Ruomo's hand, and said: "I was talking about it before I died, it is a good thing for young people to be angry, but you can't be too anxious to do things, you must be slow, only slow can you feel the mystery of the details, there is a saying, the devil is hidden in the details, no matter what choice you make, you must remember, don't be in a hurry, otherwise it will be easy to make big things." ”
The old man seemed to be explaining his last words, chattering, and his spirit seemed to be better again: "In this life, if you can do one thing well, that is great success, old man, I have not succeeded in my life, maybe one day you can see the day of success, but I can't see it." ”
Li Ruomo nodded, this sentence touched him deeply, young people always have vigorous vitality, they want to be this, become that, want to be this, do that, but they don't know that in a person's life, if they can do one thing well, they are already successful, and if they put all their efforts into one thing, they will feel worth it for a lifetime.
Many people, do this thing, do that thing, but when they get old, they find that they have achieved nothing, and the pain is what they want to do the most, and what they can even do, but they don't have time to do it.
The old man muttered for a long time, and as he spoke, he stopped talking, Li Ruomo held his hand and checked his pulse, his face suddenly darkened, the old man's pulse was excellent, and he was already asleep.
She made a phone call, then called someone from the medical department, pushed the old man back, and sighed before Li Ruomo gave the order to convene an emergency meeting.
The actions of the snow leopard and the dragon in Cuba, Li Ruomo already knew about it, and the old man was very angry at the time, but Li Ruomo disagreed with him, in Li Ruomo's eyes, as long as it was an action against the Americans, she agreed, and although the dragon was very large, it did not reach that kind of uncontrollable situation.
The old man said that Li Ruomo was like when he was young, but Li Ruomo retorted that she was just adapting to today's situation.
So much so that later, Canglong and Snow Leopard actually went to the United States, and when they got the news, the old man was ready to take action, and he did not hesitate to expose the spies in the United States, but also to get the two of them back.
But Li Ruomo withstood the pressure of the old man, one of them was because Canglong's revenge action was very much in line with Li Ruomo's appetite, although it was a little unexpected, but it was also within the controllable range, plus the snow leopard was by Canglong's side, there would definitely be no major incident.
Second, even if he exposes his own people, he may not be able to catch Canglong back, even if he adds a snow leopard, it is better to let Canglong revenge.
In this matter, Li Ruomo almost went to the extreme opposite of the old man, the old man's resoluteness made Li Ruomo not hesitate to send his own people in the United States to stop the old man's actions, although Li Ruomo could not dispatch the AB two action teams, but she herself has an intelligence network in the United States, and she also has her own people, although the number is pitiful, but she is definitely not a vegetarian.
In the end, the old man finally regressed, but since that day, the old man has not said a word to Li Ruomo until Li Ruomo intercepts this information.
"Director Li, is our mission to protect this woman?" In the war room, Team A member Xiami read the briefing and was a little strange.
Several other people also had the same doubts on their faces, according to the information given to them by Li Ruomo, this woman was too ordinary, and her background was innocent.
"The intelligence said that the CIA people are preparing to assassinate this woman in China, I don't care what their purpose is, I just need you to guarantee her safety, China is not the turn of the CIA people to go wild, understand?" Li Ruomo's tone was cold.
Including the eagles who were injured in the Cuban operation, the members of the Teco A team, except for the captain of the snow leopard, ghosts, owls, and hummingbirds are all there.
"Understood." Several people stood up and replied.
"Without further ado, let's go now, and if there's anything wrong with the target, I'll ask for you." Li Ruomo gave the order to die.
Team A, led by Xiami, the deputy team, then got ready to go, and people who didn't know thought they were performing some special task.
After they all left, Li Ruomo picked up the document on the table alone, which marked a special operation codenamed "Catalyst", which was also the intelligence intercepted by Li Ruomo's people in Europe.
"Doctor Ruomo, the old man is critically ill, go over and have a look." At this moment, Wang Xiaoyu suddenly walked in and said anxiously.
Li Ruomo let out a "groan" in his heart, and hurried to the infirmary, only to see that the staff of the infirmary were busy performing the operation, and half an hour later, the attending doctor walked out with a frown, and said without waiting for Li Ruomo to ask him: "I'm afraid I can't stand it for a week." ”
"Hmm!" Li Ruomo nodded, walked into the ward with a bad face, and saw that the old man had a needle inserted in his body, looking haggard, and his heart rate was beating extremely slowly, like a dead oil lamp, with the last moment of dazzling sparks, the old man's life also came to an end.
"At least, you have to wait for the snow leopard to come back" Li Ruomo leaned into his ear, feeling uncomfortable but not showing it.
When she finished saying this, the old man's hand moved slightly, and Li Ruomo breathed a sigh of relief, if he said that he was the most proud disciple of the old man, then the snow leopard was the most outstanding one among the batch of special science soldiers trained by the old man, although the old man always felt that they were unqualified, but the old man pinned deep hopes on them, they were the future of the old man.
When Li Ruomo walked out of the ward, he saw a group of dirty soldiers waiting outside, their faces showed anxious expressions, and when they saw her come out, the leader asked, "Director Li, how is it?" How is he. ”
Li Ruomo glanced at the leading soldier and said coldly: "Are you going to meet him like this?" ”
"But"
"Nothing." Li Ruomo looked at the leading soldier coldly, "Su Yufeng, how did you become the captain of Team B?" The training is not over yet, and it is unorganized and undisciplined! ”
Waiting at the door were the members of Team B, a total of six people, who learned that the old man was critically ill, and they had no intention of training, so they did not hesitate to disobey the military order and rushed back.
Li Ruomo's scolding made their hearts heavy, and in the end, Su Yufeng still took someone to look at the window and left reluctantly.
Seeing their appearance, Li Ruomo shook his head helplessly, although the old man was harsh on them, they had never resented this stern old man, disobeyed the order, and ended the training privately, which had never happened in Tekko.
But Li Ruomo had to do this, as soon as the old man fell, she had to support the entire Teko, no matter how uncomfortable she felt in her heart, no matter how uncomfortable they were in their hearts, she had to become the benchmark that Teko set up again
