Chapter 24: Shelter from the limelight
Eric looked at Hu Bo helplessly and said, "I've explained this to you more than once. At least five times. Why are you still asking this? ”
"Because I'm really weird. And you didn't answer me directly every time. I sometimes wonder if you have had a lot of grudges over the years and want to take advantage of some opportunities to bring down some people. Huber said.
"Okay." Eric sighed and said: "I've really not had a good time over the years, to be precise, I shouldn't be like this, according to my life plan, now I, you are not qualified to sit and talk to me like this, and I took the initiative to come to your door." But now that I'm sitting here, do you think I should be happy or satisfied? ”
"So what I just said was right?" Huber Road.
Eric shook his head slightly and said, "I can't deny it. If you deny it, not only will you not believe it, but I will not believe it myself. And in this matter, I don't think there's anything to hide. But there is one more crucial reason. ”
"What is the reason?" Huber looked at Eric curiously and asked.
"It's simple." Eric said seriously, "Because we're facing a common enemy. This enemy is encroaching on us, our country. I'm doing what I'm supposed to do, I'm not doing it to fight the FBI, or to help an organization deal with the FBI, I just want that something like 911 won't happen again. Although it looks different, it is all the same. It's just that one is in front of everyone and lets the world know, and the other is implemented in secret for a long time, but the damage caused is only a lot more. Do you see what I mean? After saying that, Eric suddenly lowered his voice and said: "In addition, I can tell you that I still have ideals and ambitions, and I don't look down on the plans that those bastards have made this or that, and I don't even look down on the way they do things." I want to do things my way, and whether or not the job can have a satisfactory outcome is an important and even decisive factor in whether or not I can achieve my goals. Am I being direct enough to go into detail now? ”
Huber stared at Eric for a moment, as if to discern what Eric said was true or false. And Eric didn't make a sound, just stared at each other. After a while, Huber suddenly reached out and opened the cabinet beside him, took out a stack of documents from it and threw them directly in front of Eric and said, "This is according to what you said, some of the more important project plans recently." These are the things we need to focus on. ”
Eric knew he had convinced Huber, at least for now. So without any hesitation, he directly picked up these documents and looked at them, and after quickly flipping through them, he said, "Isn't there anything related to the Chinese?" ”
"Nope. At least it doesn't seem to have anything to do with them. None of the projects are aimed at them, if you talk about relationships very much, there are Chinese people among them. But I've already investigated all these people, and they're clean and there's nothing suspicious. And I have to warn you that some of these are Security Service projects. Huber said.
"Really?" Eric frowned as he listened to Huber's words, as if he was a little afraid of the Security Bureau, but he didn't stop flipping through the pages.
And Huber was not in a hurry, after seeing that Eric was looking very seriously and even engrossed, he stood up and said, "Do you want a cup of coffee?" We have good coffee here, not the kind that's hard to swallow. ”
"Huh?" Eric probably didn't hear Huber at all, but he didn't intend to hear it either, so he just answered and said, "Whatever." ”
Huber nodded and opened the office door, said a word to his colleagues outside, and then sat back in his seat, and this sitting was more than an hour, except for receiving the coffee from his colleague halfway, neither of them moved their positions, and they didn't even say a word.
At the same time, here at the airport, Pete, who had been waiting in the car for a long time, finally saw Parker appear in view. He immediately opened the door, stood beside the car, and waved at Parker.
Parker, who had just entered the parking lot, had already taken out his phone to call Pete, but before pressing the number, he saw Pete, so he quickened his pace and walked all the way.
"Why is it so long?" After sitting back in the car, Pete said with some dissatisfaction: "The plane is late?" ”
"Nope." Parker shook his head and said, "No." ”
"None? How did it not take so long? Does this guy like to go to the airport long in advance and wait for the plane? Pete asked.
"Alright. Drive. Get out of here first. Parker said impatiently.
"Good. Where do we go? Go back? Pete asked.
"Send you back to Maclean. We're done here. The guy got on the plane and left here. The rest is none of our business. Parker said.
Hearing Parker say this, Pete breathed a sigh of relief. However, as he drove the car out of the airport parking lot, he looked at Parker and said, "Did something happen to you?" ”
"Nothing." Parker shook his head and said, "It's just that I have to get away for a while." ”
"Leave? Decided? Pete remembered what Parker had said earlier about the assassination of Liu Qigang and the video footage left behind.
"It's decided." Parker smiled wryly, pulled out his cigarette and smoked it.
"Where to go? Just disappear so suddenly? Pete asked.
"Of course not. Doesn't disappearing suddenly telling someone that something is wrong with me? Parker glared at Pete as he spoke, but then he added, "It's just a long vacation." Go ahead and get out of the limelight first. ”
"Sheltered from the limelight? How to avoid it? Pete asked.
Parker took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Go to another country for a while." After that, as I said before, you will cooperate with Feng's actions, and he will command you. ”
"Can you go to another country if you want to?" Pete didn't care much about how he met in the future, "What about who you are now?" ”
"You mean my job?" Parker smiled and said, "It's okay. The company I work for has a lot of overseas branches, and they were looking for people to send out. If I ask for it, the company will say yes. ”
"Okay." Pee nodded and said, "The reason why you've been going for so long is because you've made these things clear?" ”
"What else could it be? Now what Feng is going to do and this Arab here has merged into one thing, and it is unified to be managed by the relevant people. Parker said and looked at Pete and said, "It's not you, it's not you, I'm not Feng." As for who, you don't need to know. ”
