From the parking lot to the outer area of the Pentagon's main building, the group walked for about ten minutes. At the front, the woman at the front, who identified herself as Sandy, was a civilian receptionist who had been working at the Pentagon for about seven or eight years.
Sandy was clearly surprised at how awkward she coped with the situation, introducing herself and gossiping to clean up the ten minutes.
Passing through the first door, Zhao Xuan and the others underwent a second inspection, which included a rigorous metal scan.
The closer you get to the center of the Pentagon, the more rigorous and frequent these inspections become.
David was familiar with this place for a long time, as if he was going home, and he still had a little smile on his face when he was examined, and he looked very relaxed.
Probably no one could see what was hidden in David's smile, he had actually learned these disgusting hypocrisies a long time ago, in order to survive in that cruel spy world.
Once everyone was screened, Sandy led the group through a small office area to the public reception area.
It was a small conference room with huge mirrors on the walls, clean tables and chairs, American flags hanging by the windows, and portraits of the Founding Fathers alongside them.
Zhao Xuan glanced at the mirror and asked the middle-aged man with a smile: "This is one-way glass?" ”
The middle-aged man nodded, and he didn't like to talk much.
The smile on Zhao Xuan's face was still the most relaxed among everyone, but in David's opinion, this smile that was close to innocence seemed a little scary.
"Oh, let's wait for someone first."
It was really like coming to a spring outing, Zhao Xuan casually found a place to sit down, a pair of slender legs stood up, and the gray stockings looked simply tempting and sinful.
The long middle-aged man also sat down, but the old white man Oldman didn't react and still stood in place.
Oldman's mobile phone was taken away just now, and at that time, David guessed almost maliciously what the old man would react, but he didn't expect Oldman to just casually let people take his mobile phone.
There was no communication equipment, no weapons, and no plans. David felt that Zhao Xuan's only way out now was probably in negotiations, and he was looking forward to Zhao Xuan's amazing answer.
After dropping a few people into the reception area, Sandy gave her simple, pure professional smile and hurriedly took her leave.
Everyone knows that the Pentagon's civilian staff is also a little busier than anywhere else, and this is a place where any action has to be reported.
David didn't sit down, the wound on his body was still aching, and Zhao Xuan's knife cut so hard that David almost didn't want to think about any details again.
Among all of them, Zhao Xuan seems to be the most comfortable, although she has no mobile phone and can't do any pastime, she still looks in a good mood.
"Who do you think will receive us?" Zhao Xuan asked David.
David glanced at the camera overhead, looked down and said that he avoided the camera and said, "I don't know, maybe it's some old guy with long sleeves and good dancing." ”
Zhao Xuan narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything.
Although it seems to be a very bureaucratic process, it actually doesn't make a few people wait long. The door to the reception room was pushed open after about seven or eight minutes, and a middle-aged man with glasses walked in.
When David saw this middle-aged man, his eyes narrowed slightly, of course he recognized the other party, this was Han Cook, a middle-level official in charge of intelligence analysis and tactical formulation. A large proportion of the complex intelligence activities associated with the Department of Defense are approved and executed by such individuals, whose powers are concentrated at the operational level. Whether it is surveillance, arrest or torture, there are such people.
Because of the nature of his work, Hancock had frequent contact with a cutting-edge intelligence agent like David, and although the two were not in direct contact, they still met many times in the department.
Hancock is a man with no smile on his face, and this kind of stern face is the most common in the Ministry of Defense. Seeing the grimacing Hancock enter the door, David felt a little kind, the man in front of him was at least not a member of the rotten and complicated system.
"David, I didn't expect you to come back this way."
Hancock didn't face Zhao Xuan, who looked like the core of everyone, but spoke directly to David.
The long, middle-aged man looked at Hancock and frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with this attitude. Zhao Xuan seemed very calm, the smile on his face hadn't changed much, he was still cross-legged, his sexy and slender calves were swaying, and his attitude seemed to be extremely relaxed.
"There's a lot of things we didn't expect, didn't we?" David's mood was calm at the moment, and when he returned to this familiar place, he felt that everything he had insisted on seemed extremely ridiculous.
"That's right." Hancock was holding a jiàn clip in his hand, an image that David felt subversive, and he didn't imagine Hancock working in the clerical field.
"So...... Where do we start now? David looked at Hancock with a nonchalant expression, waiting for the other person to speak, "Do you want to talk to this beautiful girl first?" ”
Hancock looked at David meticulously, and said in a low voice, "You can start anywhere, we are all interested in Yiqiē." ”
David sneered and looked back at Zhao Xuan.
"What now?"
Zhao Xuan was looking at her new nails today, her fingernails were neatly painted, beautiful with a little bewitching, and a little reflective under the light.
"Someone else."
Hancock thought he had misheard, and a hint of astonishment finally flashed in Yan's old-fashioned expression.
"Excuse me, what did you say?"
Zhao Xuan withdrew his cocked legs, a pair of straight beautiful legs were nothing special in Hancock's eyes, and there seemed to be no existence of a creature like a beautiful opposite sex in his indifferent eyes.
"I said someone else." Zhao Xuan said unceremoniously, "You can't make a decision about what I want to say." ”
Hancock's face suddenly became more gloomy, he stared at Zhao Xuan, and said coldly, "Little girl, do you know what you're talking about?" ”
Zhao Xuan looked at the man with an indifferent expression, and replied happily: "Yes, of course I know what I'm talking about." Look at you, you are so fierce to me, as if you have a lot of power. What do you have? You are just a parasite under the disease of power, and you can't do anything without the dictates of power. You feel that I have insulted you, and you feel that I am offending the authority of this country. But without the powers granted to you by the big guys, you wouldn't even dare shoot me or choke me by the throat. I know what I'm talking about, but what about you? Do you know? ”
Zhao Xuan's voice was not loud or fast, but these words seemed to penetrate Hancock's resolute and cold appearance, and they were not interrupted.
David looked at Zhao Xuan with some surprise, he obviously didn't expect Zhao Xuan to suddenly anger Han Cook at such a time, and show no mercy to him.
For a while, the entire reception room seemed to be echoing Zhao Xuan's voice, and all eyes were focused on Han Cook.
“…………”
Hancock was very similar to refuting Zhao Xuan, and even wanted to get up and strangle this little girl to prove that she was talking nonsense. But he knew that he couldn't, he had to endure Zhao Xuan's insults, because his authority was really insufficient.
Zhao Xuan saw through the essence at a glance, and she had no fear of this man who seemed to have killed a lot of people.
Taking a deep breath, Hancock didn't speak, he just got up and left.
David watched Hancock leave, a sarcastic smile on his face.
Obviously, someone wanted to use Han Cook's image and style to completely crush this meeting, but they didn't know that Zhao Xuan didn't care at all.
A soldier is always just a soldier, Zhao Xuan understands this truth too well, so her emotions are hardly exposed, and she doesn't talk much, and she only explodes at critical moments.
After Hancock left, there was silence in the reception room for a while, but this time no one spoke.
David stared at Zhao Xuan with some puzzlement, it was hard for him to imagine why a girl who grew up in an ordinary family in a peaceful era would have such a terrible psychological element. The moment he saw Hancock just now, even David himself became unstable in his heart, and for a moment he had no doubt that Hancock would do something with him because of his position.
David, who was not at the peak of his physical and mental strength at this time, was not confident at all that he could agree to Hancock.
This time the group didn't have to wait long, and about a few minutes later, someone entered the reception room.
This time it was a black man who entered the reception room, dressed in a regular military uniform, with a face as grim as Hancock's, showing no signs of melting.
David still recognized this man, it was Colonel Thomson, who was in charge of the anti-terrorist operations investigation team.
This time, Zhao Xuan didn't even bother to speak, just waved his hand at Thomson.
"Substitution."
The black colonel did not stop because of Zhao Xuan's words, he walked to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down, looked at Zhao Xuan methodically and said, "Mr. Maider asked me to come over and talk to you first, I don't know if you are interested?" ”
Zhao Xuan's attitude did not change because Thomson mentioned anything else, and shook his head: "Change." ”
"Okay." Thomson, whose face was cold, nodded as if he was not at all surprised, "But before that, please let me finish what I have to say." ”
Zhao Xuan didn't say anything, but he didn't say anything, which was a tacit acquiescence.
"What I'm saying now doesn't speak for anyone, and it doesn't speak for the Ministry of Defense and the military." Harrison threw out a disclaimer and then said, "I don't know what kind of mentality you came to the Department of Defense in person, but at the moment, from the results of our internal discussions, not everyone welcomes your arrival." ”
Zhao Xuan tilted his head, his attitude still indifferent: "So what? ”
"So we want to know, your specific requirements." Colonel Thomson said solemnly, "Even if I don't have the authority to make a decision, at least I can tell the big men what you ask and let them make a decision." ”
Zhao Xuan looked at Colonel Thomson and nodded slightly.
"That's a good attitude right now."
Colonel Thomson's expression didn't change at all, just staring at Zhao Xuan.
From the moment he entered the door, Colonel Thomson could see that one of Zhao Xuan's feet was shaking in a slow manner.
This is a very unladylike action, and although it is a little disobedient to a little girl like Zhao Xuan, it is not strange.
Only Colonel Thomson, who was accustomed to looking at anything around him with alertness, felt that something was not right, and the frequency of the shaking of one of his beautiful slender feet seemed to be very fixed.
It looks like ...... In timekeeping!
A strong uneasiness almost erupted in Colonel Thomson's chest, and he did not understand what was worth timing in the most heavily defended place in the world.
…………
…………
Facing Colonel Thomson's gaze, Zhao Xuan still seemed to be relaxed.
"You see that?"
As soon as these words came out, Colonel Thomson immediately got up and wanted to rush towards Zhao Xuan.
It's late.
The entire Pentagon, all of a sudden, lost power!
