The sun in Washington is brilliant, especially after the morning, when it falls on those well-known buildings in the world, it is the beginning of a new day.

Generally speaking, the road to the suburbs can be a bit congested at this time, and no one can tell which big man is sitting in a fleet of vehicles with seemingly unremarkable license plates.

Among the vehicles heading toward Arlington was a nondescript black 2005 Mercedes van heading at a brisk pace toward the southwestern suburbs of Washington.

There were four people in the car, a middle-aged man with long hair was driving intently, he was wearing an untimely trench coat, and the whole person looked like a character who had come out of some vicissitudes of foreign movies, and the beard left a stubborn mark on his face.

Sitting next to the long-haired middle-aged man was a blonde young man, his face was a little gray, but the whole person was still meticulously dressed. The beautiful blonde hair is very clean and neat, and she is wearing a decent gray suit, and the whole person looks very handsome.

Sitting in the back seat was a girl and an old man with a full head of white hair. The girl has a typical Asian beauty face, her hands are painted with red nails and pink toenails, she wears a pair of open-toed fish-mouth high heels, silver-white hip-wrapping shorts, and a pair of gray stockings wrapped around her legs. The upper half of his body is wearing a crop top shirt with short sleeves, revealing arms with many beautiful metal ornaments hanging on them, and the two arms are not inferior to the white people here.

The white-haired old man sitting next to the girl was dark-skinned and of a hint of black or Native American ancestry, wearing a sleeveless denim suit with various tattoos on his exposed arms.

The painting style of these people is so inconsistent, which makes the atmosphere in the car a little weird. No one said anything along the way, everyone just went about their business in silence - the old man with white hair was actually playing with his mobile phone, and the young girl in fashionable clothes was reading a book.

The blonde young man sitting in the passenger seat stared at the road ahead without saying a word, occasionally looking up at the rearview mirror, and his eyes revealed many complicated emotions.

The young man had a very common English name, David, and he still had incomplete wounds on his body.

In fact, David didn't understand very much, why Zhao Xuan didn't determine her peer team until the day after the last day, was she worried that she would provide intelligence to the Ministry of Defense?

By now, David has almost seen Zhao Xuan's intentions clearly, since that day when Zhao Xuan was willing to endure pain and win the victory, David has already known very well what kind of person Zhao Xuan is.

As the car drove out of the city, the silence was finally broken.

"There are four of us, unlikely."

David, who was sitting in the front row, still had a bad face, and his pale face still looked like he had lost too much blood and had not recovered. He stared at the girl in the rearview mirror and spoke with some difficulty.

David actually knew very well in his heart that just as his attitude had not changed because of anything, Zhao Xuan's decision had never been persuaded by others. At this time, Zhao Xuan felt more relaxed than usual, and he didn't see any psychological pressure at all.

Just from the appearance, David also had to admit that Zhao Xuan was the one with the best mentality among the four people. From the way she dresses to the way she speaks, the girl looks like she's going on an outing rather than going to a place close to legend.

"Of course the four of us can't." Zhao Xuan didn't mind David's retreat at all, shook his finger with a smile and said, "Anyway, I haven't been there yet, so it's not bad to go and see the excitement." ”

“…………”

David used to think that Zhao Xuan was crazy, but now he has a deeper impression of this.

The old man sitting next to Zhao Xuan raised his head and glanced at David, then lowered his head and continued to look at his mobile phone.

The atmosphere was still quite heavy, and David suddenly felt that he was stupid to speak.

Of the four, David seems to be the only one who is still looking ahead.

Zhao Xuan smiled at the old man beside him, and his attitude was obviously much better than that of David.

"Mr. Oldman, thank you for joining us."

The white-haired old man just nodded to Zhao Xuan, but still didn't speak.

Oldman was a pseudonym when he heard it, and David had carefully observed the old man who had joined their team in the morning, but found no trace to follow. It looks like an indigenous mixed race, and the whole person feels a little evil, and the appearance of not saying a word is incomprehensible.

David also took a closer look at the mobile phone used by Oldman, which was a customized mobile phone, which also did not have any industrial LOGO, and could not see anything unique. Oldman looked at his phone very infrequently and barely typed, which led to speculation that he might just be a news enthusiast.

But David would never be so naïve as to think that Oldman was really an old man who watched the news, and he could join Zhao Xuan's team this morning, and the middle-aged man who drove the car and this old man would not be simple people.

Just last night, Zhao Xuan contacted the person in charge of the Ministry of National Defense and said that he would send the wounded David back to the Pentagon. At the same time, he also said that he wanted to participate in the anti-monopoly investigation of the Yang family.

These are two issues that I don't want to do at all, so I have to read and approve them at the same time before I can decide on them. Zhao Xuan has been waiting in Washington for so long, and now he finally has a response.

David vaguely guessed Zhao Xuan's thoughts, but he felt that Zhao Xuan still underestimated those officials of the Ministry of Defense too much. Whether it is a person in the military system or an officer in the intelligence system, they are not the kind of people who can easily change their minds with a few words. Even if there is a good reason and enough temptation in front of them, these people will behave very cautiously.

Now these four people, to put it bluntly, are actually only the middle-aged man with long hair who looks a little combative. Although David couldn't see the depth of the other party, it could be seen from the man's pace and movements that this should be someone familiar with killing.

When he first got into the car, David wanted to ask the other party's name, but after making eye contact with the long-haired man, he gave up this idea.

"You're not going to make it." David looked at Zhao Xuan a little stupidly, he was now almost impressed by the other party's courage and means, "No one has ever been able to negotiate with the US military"

"I'm already in the United States, aren't I?"

Zhao Xuan's answer left David speechless.

David's return to China, and even Zhao Xuan's ability to go to the United States, are the result of a series of consultations. Although he didn't know the details of the content of the road, David knew that this kind of negotiation would definitely not be easy. Zhao Xuan was able to take the initiative, proving that she still had cards in her hand that she couldn't see clearly.

This gap made David realize more clearly that he had to follow Zhao Xuan's side, and even strictly implement Zhao Xuan's ideas in order to follow Zhao Xuan to see the second half of the story.

Is the second half a climax? David didn't know the way, he just wanted to know the way now, so he sat in the car.

Being refuted by Zhao Xuan was so bad that he didn't know what to say, which was simply unacceptable to David. There has never been a moment like this in his career. At this time, Zhao Xuan's calmness and peacefulness were in stark contrast to David, which made this young man who had always been conceited feel frustrated.

After a while, David was a little difficult to accept this quiet embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "No plan? ”

"Not at the moment."

Of course, David knew that Zhao Xuan was talking nonsense, but he was not qualified to refute Zhao Xuan, so he could only take a deep look in the rearview mirror.

Crossing the state and county highways, the Pentagon's massive building body slowly comes into view.

Looking at this long-lost building, David's heart inevitably fluctuated.

It wasn't until this moment that David realized that the peace of mind he usually tried to achieve was only a superficial phenomenon, and deep down he was still a young man who was a little confused about the vast world. Although he can be indifferent in the face of many seemingly huge changes, as soon as it really involves some problems in his heart, he immediately collapses.

It can be said that Zhao Xuan's knife cut through David's self-righteous inner defense.

The Pentagon is gradually being drawn closer in view, and this impressive American landmark occupies an extremely large area of the ground and has many departments. As far as the eye can see, the Pentagon, surrounded by walls and various buildings, has a bit of a futuristic architectural feel. It's hard to imagine that this was a building that was designed decades ago, as if the most prosperous era of the entire American country was in those twenty or thirty years.

The car drove to the checkpoint, and the heavily armed soldiers stopped the Mercedes.

The long-haired middle-aged man in the driver's seat glanced at the young soldier and gave him a number.

The Pentagon's security inspection system is divided into several types and targets different groups of people. Visitors are generally carried out in the form of invitation documents and event serial numbers, and although the procedure is a little rudimentary, there is not much objection to this security measure because visitors are generally only allowed to move around the outer areas.

The young soldier glanced at the long-haired middle-aged man, found the incident number that belonged to him, confirmed the note on the back of the number, and guided the vehicle to the special parking area.

After getting out of the car, there was naturally a reception by civilian personnel from the Pentagon. The person in charge of receiving Zhao Xuan and the others were all female officials, not too young, with blonde hair and a shawl, wearing a dark green suit, and a smile on her face that looked very kind.

David looked at this familiar scene and suddenly felt a little sick to his stomach.

What is this? The smile on this woman's face is a little more disgusting than those interns in the White House, does the Department of Defense really need that smile? Shouldn't this be a place where you can't smile, and use simple rules to divide whether or not there are people who threaten the security of the country and try to eliminate those threats?

As the bureaucracy grows larger and larger, these offensive details become more and more, and David used to think that it was nothing, but now that he sees this smile again, he is disgusted and wants to vomit.

"Is this our hero?" The woman also showed a smile that was almost charming to David, "A few people, please go this way." ”

Watching the woman take an elegant step, David suddenly wanted to know what Zhao Xuan was going to say to the official who was in charge of receiving them.

Whatever he said, David would be happy if he could make these people look surprised or annoyed.
