Chapter 104: Entry Point
And just as he looked to the side to make sure that he was talking to someone else, the man said, "But then more people may die at their hands." After speaking, the man looked at himself and said expressionlessly: "I have news of your family, do you want to know?" ”
When I heard this, I could only say that my mind was blank for a while, and I didn't know what to say. The man in front of him seemed to be worried that he didn't understand what he said, so he whispered again: "Your brother, and cousins." Do you want them to come home alive? ”
"Who are you?" Aldar remembers that this was the first thing he said to the man.
The man didn't answer, just chuckled and said, "I have news of the people you care about." If you're interested, we can talk. ”
"What do you want to do?" This was the second sentence he said to him.
"I didn't want to do anything." As he spoke, the man took out a slip of paper with a number written on it and handed it over, "If you want to know, call this number." ”
Hassan couldn't remember how he reached out and took the note, perhaps in his own mind, he already had the answer. That's what he wants to know, that's what he cares about most.
The man handed the note to himself, then walked away and quickly disappeared into the crowd. It was only then that I realized that I didn't even look at the other party's appearance carefully on that side just now. I only remember that this person was dressed very formally, with a suit and tie, neatly combed hair, and a pair of glasses, and as for other details, I didn't notice them at all.
After that, he didn't want to see the exhibition, so he took the note with the number written on it and left. After returning home and calming down, he thought of two things. First of all, the other party must want to plot against him, otherwise there are many people who are against the Americans all day long, why did they find themselves. The second is that these people must really know the whereabouts of their relatives, which is the bargaining chip in their hands, and the most basic basis for negotiating conditions with them.
But what are they trying to do with themselves? At that time, the security bureau's project called "Scorching Sun" had not yet officially begun, and everything was still being prepared. Adar hadn't officially joined the project yet, and he didn't even know it existed. So Adar didn't act rashly, he tried to take some time to figure out what the other party wanted, and then decide whether to make the call.
And a week later, Alda went to a meeting. At this meeting, he was sent to work on a project commissioned by the Security Bureau, and after seeing the information about the design requirements, he immediately understood the purpose of the person, which was probably related to the project he was going to work on at the moment.
But it is clear that at first Adar Hassan did not intend to cooperate, he knew that it was powerful, once he took this step, it would be a catastrophe, he would become a spy, he was now an American, so it would be treason, once he was discovered, everything for himself would be over, all over.
But what about those relatives of yours? Don't you care about it at all? Maybe they don't need themselves at all, maybe they will scold themselves or even do it when they see it... So what are you worried about? These are everyone's own choices, and they are responsible for themselves. So after calming down, Alda Hassan became hard-hearted, and as for the innocent deaths of his mother and sister before, he was shielded by himself, trying not to let himself think about it.
But not long after, a letter arrived. The letter was delivered directly to his company and placed on his desk.
The letter is normal, and there is nothing special about it on the surface. However, after opening it, Adar Hassan was stunned by the contents, and immediately closed and locked his office after coming to his senses.
It's a stack of photos, and the first few are clearly a funeral. There are not many photos, only three or four, but from the familiar faces that appear on them, Adar Hassan can be sure that this funeral is related to his own family. He immediately thought of his mother and sister. It's just that there is no way to confirm whose funeral it is on the photos.
The next few photos are of his home, and judging from the photos, his home is no longer what he remembers. Originally, it was a thriving and lively family, but there were only a few figures in the photo, and one of them was his father.
In the photo, his father is much older and thinner than he remembers. Sitting by the courtyard wall, looking into the distance, he seemed to be thinking about something. Judging from his already obvious rickety figure, these years have not been good.
The next few frightened him even more, it was a row of people crouching on the ground. They were unkempt, their hands tied behind their backs, and some of them were visibly wounded. Standing next to them were men with guns, and judging by the camouflage they wore and the weapons they used, it was a group of American soldiers. And most importantly, he recognized one of them in the row, even though he had a big beard, long hair, and a dirty face. But Alda Hassan recognized him, because he knew him all too well, and this was his own brother.
"Marwan... Seeing his brother's appearance in the photo, Adar Hassan couldn't help but call out a name.
At the end of the photo is a note with a number written on it, which is the number given to him by the person who was at the show before.
Alda Hassan, who was already hard-hearted, was shaken by the sight of the photographs, and he was once again caught up in a fierce battle of ideas, and was distraught for the next two days, until on the third day he finally made up his mind. He decided to talk to the other person first, although he had already guessed what the other party was going to do, but he had to know what the other party was giving him, in other words, what the other party could do for his family, which was on the verge of being shattered.
So after driving to the parking lot outside the company, Adar Hassan did not open the car door and get out of the car and walk directly into the building with his belongings as usual, but first took out his phone and called according to the number on it.
The call was quickly connected, and the other party seemed to know that it was him, so he didn't ask at all and said, "Mr. Hassan." Looks like you've figured it out. ”
Although Hassan made up his mind and was fully mentally prepared, at this moment, he still felt very nervous after hearing the other party's voice. I only heard him say, "Who are you?" ”
"That's not the point, Mr. Hassan. The key is whether you still care about those family members of yours. The other party said very calmly.
