In the old-fashioned library, the pungent smell of heat dissipation of electronic equipment fills the air, and the rewired library layout makes people think it's a high-tech temporary command center. All kinds of LCD screens, all kinds of electronic data, all kinds of busy staff.

In fact, here it is.

From the company's debriefing, to being questioned, to finally convincing the company's top management to support his action one more time, Albert spent a lot of time. It was so long that they even lost track of Neil more than three times, and found that their servers were hacked every now and then.

The invading people left no trace, and each time a smiley face logo was added to the footnotes of the text.

This non-biting and disgusting behavior angered the members of the entire AUU's technical department, and after purchasing the firewall system, which is almost the best in Europe, there were two very divisive voices within the AUU.

One is that this is all a negative effect of chasing Neil, and that this should be ended as soon as possible, either by killing Neil, or by giving up the action and quickly stopping the loss.

The other believes that such a threat is mainly from Su Xiaoqing, and he should talk to her as soon as possible, and then seek the path of common interests.

Albert, a hard-liner, of course supported the first option, but he still insisted that capturing Neil alive was the best option.

During the company's high-level questioning, Albert's opinion could not be discussed as a real opinion from the top management, and Albert made a lot of efforts to achieve this.

On the one hand, it rationalizes its own behavior, and on the other hand, it attracts the company to continue to invest with more benefits and possibilities. Albert was still somewhat gifted in administration, and finally regained control of the Einsatzgruppen after a lengthy review.

Since the last time he lost Neil, Albert has discovered something that has made the company value him even more.

Not only AUU, but even other forces are eyeing Neil.

Neil's attack on the subway has been reported to AUU headquarters, and it has been confirmed internally that no such interception has been organized, and more importantly, Albert's whereabouts are still in a state of speculation at the time.

If it's not someone from your side, it's an American or a Middle Easterner.

Albert became even more excited by this evidence, and he refocused Neil's range of activities and sent additional men to the surrounding area.

At this moment, Albert is sitting in his office, opposite Anthony, who once fell in love with and wanted to pursue Neil.

The blonde Anthony had been haggard lately, with untrimmed stubble on his face, bloodshot red eyes, sunken eye sockets, and even black dirt in his nails.

Albert admired the appearance of his subordinates, at least in his opinion, it was better than the fat gentlemen in the head office who were so well maintained every day.

"Mr. Anthony." Albert was always straightforward, "We've now repositioned Neil's approximate location, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Anthony cursed the devil in his heart, and Albert knew about his relationship with Neil, and even knew that he had secretly helped Neil before. The more this happened, the more the bearded old man liked to ask for his own opinions, in order to gloat at his painful expression every time.

“…… I don't know how to do it, but I still look at the company's opinion. ”

Albert shook his head slowly: "Anthony, you have to know that the company's current mainstream opinion is to eliminate this unstable factor, do you agree with this opinion?" ”

Anthony shuddered at the thought of the scene where Neil was killed: "No, I don't agree! ”

"Look, don't get excited." The grim smile on Albert's face didn't make people feel that a smile could bring people closer together, "Why don't we talk about it in detail, I want you to express your opinion on Neil's current situation." ”

Anthony cursed another foul word in his heart, he knew that Albert was actually testing himself, and he was worried that he was still colluding with Neil to leak the information of the Special Operations Group.

"I ......" Anthony would never dare to offend Albert on the surface, and this stout man could even tear himself with his bare hands, "I think Neil will get in touch with Su Xiaoqing." ”

"On the contrary, Neil should be afraid of Su Xiaoqing now." Albert corrected, "Just as some of us incompetent people are afraid of that Oriental woman." ”

“…………”

Anthony knew that Albert was scolding himself, but he still chose to remain silent.

Albert played with the huge cigar in his hand, shook his head and said, "Su Xiaoqing, like us, hopes to have complete control over Neil, and the strongest part of her personality is the longing for freedom, you always know this, right?" ”

"Yes...... Anthony had to admit that Albert knew Neil well, too, "she didn't like to be tied down." ”

"Children who can't carry out orders are not well-behaved." Albert's tone turned cold, "There's actually a little bit of the latest intel that's interesting, Neil is with her mission objective. ”

Anthony looked up with a hint of shock.

In fact, deep down, Anthony was a little jealous of the oriental boy Su Yifan, and he imagined countless times what would happen after Neil approached Su Yifan. Those imaginations once gnawed at his heart like a poisonous tongue, making him almost lose his mind. In the end, Anthony betrays Neil's trust, which is also related to this sentiment.

Now that Albert suddenly mentioned that Neil and Su Yifan were together, the most unstable part of Anthony's mood began to be restless.

Albert was very satisfied with Anthony's reaction at this time, and asked with a hint of temptation, "Do you still think that Neil is not hiding anything from the company?" ”

This time, even Anthony has nothing to say, if Neil and Su Yifan are really close enough to be alone together, then Neil will naturally be considered a lie when he says that he has not obtained any information.

This is one of the important reasons why Albert persuaded the company's top management to make a decision.

Staring at Anthony's changing face, Albert continued, "This time, it's up to you to decide whether to continue to capture Neil alive or keep her in that country forever. ”

Hearing Albert's words, Anthony shuddered and stared at the man in front of him in disbelief.

Albert's expression was still cold and even cold: "What, you hesitated? ”

Anthony was honest and happily admitted, "Yes...... I was hesitant. ”

"Actually, you don't have to hesitate." Albert said, "You see, we're not just dealing with Neal, we're dealing with that devilish woman. ”

Anthony thought of Su Xiaoqing's smiling face, and suddenly had greater fear in his heart: "No...... She's horrible! ”

"Don't doubt her terrible." Albert said coldly, "But she, like you and me, is just an ordinary person with weaknesses. ”

Albert's words were very point-in, and Anthony understood the meaning at once.

“…… You, do you want to do something to Su Yifan? ”

Albert grinned, a smile that even Anthony would not dare to dream of.

"yes, that's what I thought."

“…………”

Anthony looked at the man in disbelief, his voice sharpened with excitement: "Are you crazy? If we do that, the entire AUU will suffer retaliation from Su Xiaoqing! ”

"yes, I know." "Actually, I'm curious to see how serious her revenge will be." Is it true that the army is sent to kill us? Or does she have an army herself. ”

Anthony was silent, he really didn't know how to contradict Albert. Su Xiaoqing's strength in the technical level has made people desperate, which even Albert can't deny. But even though he knew that Su Xiaoqing had many means to attack AUU, Albert still believed that force was the best way to solve the problem.

It's a bit like a kid comparison – I don't do as well as you in school, but I can beat you up after school.

Although it may seem a little naïve, Anthony has to admit that this is the way Albert should be thinking.

"You won't have a chance...... Anthony objected a little tremblingly, "For Su Xiaoqing, our intelligence system is almost transparent......"

"So there are more old-fashioned ways of communication in this world, such as face-to-face interviews, or wireless telegraphy systems." Albert said unmoved, "Su Xiaoqing has a strong ability to control the electronic network, and she is not so versatile in other aspects." ”

"But she must have been very protective of herself......" Anthony argued feebly, "what are we going to do if the action is not successful?" ”

"So we weren't targeting her in the first place." Albert corrected Anthony's thinking, "Our goal is ...... It was that woman's most fatal weakness. ”

Anthony didn't have to think carefully to know who Albert was talking about, his face changed, and he whispered, "This is your new plan?" ”

"Yes, in fact, the plan should not have been carried out in such a roundabout way in the first place." Albert said, "We still underestimated the importance of Su Yifan before, are you right? ”

Anthony also agrees with this, when AUU sent Niel to contact Su Yifan at the beginning, the way to consider the problem was still the supremacy of interests. For the AUU high-level who are accustomed to using interests to measure the way to solve problems, Su Yifan is important to Su Xiaoqing, but it is certainly not important enough to control Su Xiaoqing by holding him hostage.

Looking back now, underestimating the importance of Su Yifan is obviously AUU's biggest mistake at the strategic level. If you want Su Xiaoqing to be obedient, it is better to simply do it to Su Yifan.

Since Su Yifan is following Neil, he has more excuses to play in this regard, even if Su Xiaoqing comes to settle accounts with him later, he has a good excuse.

The Victorian Britons deceived themselves to the point of wrapping the legs of their tables in cloth so as not to associate them with sex, but they wrote the most obscene and heavyweight underground novels in the world. Now, after all these years, this self-deception essence still flows in the blood of the British, and nothing has changed.

Faced with Albert's opinion, Anthony was silent and did not continue to refute. In fact, deep down, he still hopes that he will see Neil again as a winner. At least that would be better than seeing her again as a traitor, and giving her care and mercy.
