Chapter 222, The Sheep and the Wolf
After getting Joey to activate all the agents in Cuba and prepare to hunt down Canglong and the Chinese soldier, Natasha felt a little helpless in her heart, she suddenly thought of Canglong's words, she took herself too seriously.
"It's not good to mess with anyone, just mess with him." Natasha paced left and right, "No, we can't just push him to the Chinese, otherwise in the future, it will be very bad for us." ”
Natasha thought of the days when she was in the Blackwater Mercenary Group with Canglong, when Canglong had saved her life, and because of this, after Natasha returned to China, when she worked in the CIA, she focused very much on the investigation of Canglong's origins, and the more in-depth the investigation, the more frightened she became, and then she came to a conclusion that Canglong was a very threatening, but not threatening person, provided that she didn't provoke him.
This deal between the Cuban Ministry of the Interior and the CIA, if she had known in advance, would have prevented the CIA's action, but unfortunately she was no longer in the CIA, and the CIA is a highly independent department, she didn't get any news at all, until the CIA asked the reconnaissance bureau to assist, and saw Canglong appear in the satellite photos, she didn't know that things were broken.
And the most critical question now seems to be how important the dead person is to Canglong.
However, the failure of the Cuban operation indirectly told Natasha that the dead Cuban-Chinese general was very important to Canglong, because in the satellite monitoring operation, Canglong killed an entire SEAL team.
This is very incredible for Canglong, who has served in the US Navy SEALs, although Canglong does not have much affection for the SEALs, and he was arranged to enter the SEAL Corps for training, but the organization behind him is training him with the help of the US military.
However, Canglong has a principle, that is, not to kill people outside the mission target, when working in the CIA, Natasha has followed Canglong's actions many times, although she has received very few Canglong's whereabouts, and every mission, Canglong will not hurt anyone who has nothing to do with the mission.
It wasn't until the world's number one killer suddenly went to China that Natasha became vigilant, although she was very dissatisfied with the CIA's behavior, but Canglong went to this hostile country, which was a very tricky thing for Natasha, once this super killer was recruited by China's intelligence services, it would be like a tiger for China's recovering intelligence services.
If you don't engage in intelligence, you will never know the importance of a super agent, and for Natasha, it seems that the only thing she can save is to make China's intelligence department suspicious of Canglong.
In several exchanges of intelligence with Canglong, Natasha was always vigilant, and even if she couldn't pull Canglong to their side, she would definitely not push Canglong to the Chinese, but she didn't expect that at the critical moment, the CIA staged such a play for her.
Back at the Recon Bureau, Natasha went to her intelligence room, and after operating the computer, Natasha ordered: "Log in and hide your account name, Garfield, and connect with Shadow Thorn." ”
"Logging in, the intelligence network is being monitored, do you want to continue logging in?" After the computer mechanical sounds, a red option pops up on the screen.
"Special encryption to continue connecting." Natasha is a little desperate, if she is caught, she may have to go to the intelligence director to report her current behavior, and may even be removed from her post and put on trial, but there are some things she has to do.
"Extra encryption complete, connection in progress, please wait." The sound of a computer mechanic is heard.
Cuba, Santiago, in the Xu family's official residence, Canglong stood in front of the old man's coffin, and his heart could not be calm for a long time, his actions with the snow leopard caused a lot of commotion in Cuba, but for the time being, they are not threatened, because the Cuban Ministry of Internal Affairs has not negotiated with the CIA.
So, the Cubans believe that this incident is a treachery of the Americans, but it will not be long before the CIA will lay down its dignity and exchange intelligence with the Cuban Ministry of Internal Affairs, but definitely not now.
So now, Canglong has plenty of time to remember this old man.
When he met Mr. Xu, it was when he came out of the Assassin League's death training camp, and the first mission he came out of was in Cuba, and the target of the mission at that time was a Cuban dignitary, and the commission of the mission was one million dollars.
Canglong almost fulfilled that task perfectly, but it also caused martial law throughout Cuba, and this dignitary, although not the number one person in Cuba, was second only to the number one, and was a staunch anti-American and supporter of the Cuban red regime.
At that time, although Canglong killed this dignitary, he was also seriously injured, and almost all of Cuba's names were soldiers at that time, and Canglong had no place to hide.
Just when he was cornered, he met Mr. Xu, who was in charge of the search for the assassins at that time, when Canglong was surrounded by Cuban soldiers in a building, besieged everywhere, under the rain of bullets, Canglong had almost no life at all, but the Cuban army also suffered heavy losses.
So much so that later, the commander of the Cuban army, who had not been able to attack for a long time, transferred the tank, if it wasn't for Canglong hiding in the basement, I am afraid that he would have been bombarded into pulp, but he was buried in the ruins, and Canglong was almost dead and alive, but he didn't expect that after falling into a coma, he woke up not in hell, but in the official residence of Old Man Xu.
When he saw Old Man Xu for the first time, Canglong almost killed him, but Old Man Xu said a sentence at that time, which Canglong still remembers in his heart, "Child, is this how you repay your life-saving benefactor?" ”
"Why save me? Are we enemies? Canglong held a deep hostility, and the dagger in his hand was still on the neck of Old Man Xu, although he was very weak at that time, but after strict training, he still had the strength to kill the middle-aged man in front of him, and he was eager to get an answer at that time.
"You're only twelve or thirteen." Old Man Xu didn't care about the dagger in Canglong's hand at all, he just took a long breath, "No one has ever taught me to kill a child who is not yet an adult, even if he is my enemy." ”
"Is that all?" Canglong, who had just come out of the death training camp, could only kill people, and he couldn't understand Old Man Xu's words at all.
"That's it, you want to leave, when you are healed, you can go safely, I promise that no one will hurt you in Cuba." Old Man Xu looked at him with a smile, "Trust me, kid. ”
"I'm nine years old." Canglong, who didn't know what to trust, still did not relax his vigilance, but corrected a mistake made by Old Man Xu.
It wasn't until later, when he left Old Man Xu's official residence safely and returned to the Assassin Alliance, that he wondered why Old Man Xu would let him go, knowing that he had killed so many people in Cuba, and many of them were Old Man Xu's subordinates, he should hate himself to the core.
Or is he trying to take advantage of himself? This was an answer for Canglong at that time, because he desperately needed an answer to determine a purpose.
It's just that later, as he grew up and knew more and more things, Old Man Xu didn't contact him, because when he left, he left Old Man Xu a special contact information, and he could do one thing for Old Man Xu for free.
Canglong, who was puzzled, went to Cuba again, but Old Man Xu only said one sentence: "Everyone has their own principles, but the bottom line of the principles is different, my principle is not to kill the old and weak, women and children, even if my commander orders me." ”
Although, Canglong didn't agree with Old Man Xu's words, and even wondered what was the principle? felt that this was just a one-sided remark by Old Man Xu, and in the end he would definitely use himself and take the initiative to contact him.
But he didn't know that in the future mission, he had never killed an ordinary person who had nothing to do with the mission, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or deliberate.
And since then, Canglong has not been contacted by Mr. Xu as he wished, until Mr. Xu retired, he did not contact himself, so Canglong went to Cuba again, came to his official residence, when he saw the happy scene of Mr. Xu's family, at that moment Canglong understood that Mr. Xu was indeed for principle, not for the use in his eyes.
Although he didn't admit that Old Man Xu had influenced him, he remembered the word "principle" in his heart.
This old man has been fighting horses all his life, for the sake of faith, for this strange land, but he has never given up his principles, and he has not used Canglong until he died, but has done him a great favor.
"You have always called me child, but I have never called you respectfully, China's traditional gift is the five-body throw, today I am here to give you this gift, you can rest assured, I will fulfill your last wish, even if the person who gave this order is the president of the United States, you have to let him fill your life." Canglong muttered to himself in front of the coffin, and then knelt in front of the coffin and made a five-body bow before standing up.
This is a secret room, and there is only Canglong in it, and when he walked out again, Colonel Xu was waiting at the door: "Are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, cremate the old man as soon as possible, so as not to cause complications." Canglong shook his head and squeezed out a smile.
"I see." Colonel Xu nodded, "The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been here many times, but they have all been blocked back by me, you better leave here tonight, I have already arranged the plane for you." ”
"Leave?" Canglong looked at him coldly, "It's not over yet." ”
"But my father's body has been taken back, you," Colonel Xu still wanted to persuade something.
"His killer is not dead yet, and my mission is not over." Canglong looked at Colonel Xu firmly and smiled, "You and the old man, you are really a temperament, too kind." ”
"Hey." Colonel Xu glanced at Canglong deeply, then sighed and arranged the cremation.
When Canglong returned to his room again, something was flashing in the computer, Canglong turned on the flashing icon, and then a voice came: "Instant messaging from Garfield, do you accept it?" ”
"Garfield?" Canglong had doubts on his face, but he smiled, "What should come, always come, accept." ”
"Shadowthorn, I've finally found you." Natasha's image appeared on the computer.
"I killed your people, do you want to lock my location and send someone to kill me, or"
"No, you're wrong, it's a terrible thing to be your enemy, and I contacted you by instant messaging to tell you that the CIA has activated all the agents in Cuba to kill you and the Chinese soldier at all costs." Natasha's face was solemn.
However, Canglong glanced at her with a strange face: "Are you selling your motherland?" ”
"No, I'm saving my ancestors, I should say, I'm saving that stupid pig, I hope you don't do anything to them." Natasha's expression was serious.
"Do you think it's possible?" Canglong's tone was cold.
"It's not possible, but it's still worth a try." Natasha shook her head, "And now that I've got my answer, it seems that this person is really important to you." ”
"Yes, very important." Canglong added, and after saying that, he turned off the communication.
At this time, at the headquarters of the Reconnaissance Bureau, Natasha frowned, looked at the interrupted communication, and didn't know what she was thinking, and after a while she said: "A herd of sheep, to chase down a wolf, it's ridiculous, Joey, this stupid pig." ”
