Chapter 102: Nonsense
John nodded and said, "Mr. Lance, you're right. It's just that I'm wondering, why didn't you say it before? Why didn't you say what you just said when everyone was there? ”
"Huh." Lance laughed and said, "Because I've been asked to do the bidding of that Lady Megan." She is like an angel sent by God, and she represents God. And if I say that, I'm worried that my station will eventually provide more people to work on it. That could well be a tragedy. I don't want that. ”
John smiled and said, "Now that you say this, aren't you afraid that I will tell the angel these things?" ”
"Nope." Lance shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm worried about a lot of things, but I'm not worried about what you just said. You know why? ”
"Why?" John looked interested.
"Because I can sense that you don't have a good relationship with that angel either. Your attitude towards her is not much better than mine. What's more, it's nothing you told her, and I can't say anything about it. As a participant, isn't it right to be a little worried? Aside from these few days, do you think she can do anything to me after that? ”
John smiled and said, "It seems that Carl has found a good successor." I think you've done a good job before. ”
"I'm complimenting you when you're complimenting me, though I think there's some irony in it. But, I don't care. Lance said and smiled.
"Nope. No sarcasm. Just do what you have to do. You're doing a great job right now. And as a person who has served the Intelligence Service for so many years and now only wants to retire peacefully, there is nothing to blame. After John finished speaking, he looked at Lance as if he had some questions: "But I want to know, what should you do if you agree to the mistress of the Balcas family?" Now that you're retiring, who's going to take care of that? ”
I saw Lance smile meaningfully and said, "I can only say that I have arranged it, that is, the two names that the woman gave us before will have a satisfactory result." As for the later ones, then you will have to see who will succeed me. Or you can count on the angel. It doesn't have anything to do with me anyway. ”
John sneered when he heard Lance say this, "Don't you think you're asking your successor to wipe your ass by doing this?" ”
"So what?" Lance looked indifferent, "I've been there for years. I can responsibly say that wiping your butt is an important part of this work. I've wiped it many times for others, some of them succeeded, and some of them didn't. I'm a very responsible person now. ”
"Huh." John chuckled and said, "This may also be an important reason why the reputation of the Intelligence Bureau is getting worse and worse, and it is becoming more and more annoying, right?" ”
Lance glanced at John, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, it's the same for whoever comes." Believe me, everyone is a good person at the beginning of the start, at least not bad. It would not have been a place for people with bad ideas or impure motives. But when you really get into it, you change, and gradually, you become something else. But no matter what, no matter how many people hate it, or even spit on it, what the people there are doing is defending their own country. And in a sense, we are better than all of you. ”
John sighed slightly and said, "You don't have to talk to me about this. Each of them still exists, and it must have its own meaning of existence. I know that, maybe it's better than you. Plus, these people you've seen have only experienced more battles than you. As he spoke, he pointed at Pete and said, "Do you see that Asian face?" Prior to his arrival, this man had been stationed in the Middle East while in service. And after coming here, went to Georgia. If it weren't for them, there would be a lot more on your Intelligence Bureau's dead list. So don't talk to me about that, go talk to your young people who are just starting out. ”
When Lance saw John say this, he said nothing more. After nodding slightly awkwardly, he turned and walked towards the big house. And John, after glancing at the guy's back, spoke again, "Mr. Lance." There's another thing I have to tell you, if you want to retire peacefully, do it well. Because this matter seems to be quite important in your bureau. ”
On the third day of coming here, it was close to noon. John's newly transferred team arrived here. There were twelve people in the group, and to Pete's surprise, there was a familiar figure among the people who came.
"Ochoa?!" Pete shouted as he looked at the familiar figure.
Ochoa immediately followed the figure to find Pete, he seemed very happy, quickened his pace to Pete, hugged him and said, "I heard that you have not been idle before, I didn't expect you to be here." How was it before? Is everything going well? ”
"Smooth." Pete nodded and said, "Why are you here this time?" ”
Ochoa smiled and said, "Can't resist the temptation." The thought of doubling my salary made me want to come. After all, I still have a large family to support. It just so happened that I needed someone who could speak Spanish this time, so I was sent here. ”
Pete nodded and said, "Did you go and see the others?" ”
"Looked." Ochoa said: "Except for Evans, everyone else is good. Avery is expected to be able to go on a mission soon. Saying that, Ochoa lowered his voice and said, "By the way, Donovan told me that if I meet you, let me tell you that he talked to Evans, and Evans agreed." ”
Hearing this, Pete seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief and said, "Great." I've always been worried that he won't want to. ”
Ochoa glanced at Pete, reached out and patted Pete's shoulder and said, "It's Evans and our honor to have teammates like you." ”
"Don't say that." Pete smiled and said a word, then turned to look at Colin and said, "Let's go, I've met a lot of people during this time, and I'll introduce you to them." ”
After having lunch at Balcas's manor, everyone immediately boarded the truck sent by Aruas who had arrived early in the morning.
A total of five trucks and one SUV. John had one or two of his own people in the cab of each truck. These people all spoke Spanish and even looked like Colombians, and Ochoa and Gil were chosen to sit in the cab with pistols and a handstand. John took another person and Arruas in an SUV. The others, including Miranda, were ten reliable men, each armed and sitting in the truck bed. These trucks are all covered with tarpaulins, so when you look directly from the outside, you can't see what's inside the cabin at all.
