CHAPTER XXIII
When he returned to the secret contact point, Luo 'Men' realized that his current situation was not good.
Now he has no tools to communicate with the outside world except for a mobile phone, his computer and "Sky Eye" are left in China, and there are only a few rounds of ammunition left in the pistol around him, and even a few hundred dollars in cash, which are not available in a hurry. He could have requested some of the equipment he needed from the station, but he didn't receive a formal order from above, and the station wouldn't have contacted him at all.
Sophie remained silent, perhaps because Romen's actions made her feel that her self-esteem had been hurt. So far, Luo 'Men' has not figured out whether she is the 'daughter' of the old "Sophie", but he is willing to take risks, if Sophie herself is a trap, then there is no better place to see the trap than to be in it.
When Sophie was taking a shower, he called An Nianrong and told her that the Ministry of Security had sent its own anti-terrorist unit into France, of course, not to fight terrorism, but to use their infiltration capabilities to investigate the accident of the contact person of the "European Star Project", and he had nothing to do while staying here, so he considered returning to China tomorrow, his investigation at Sheng Muli had not yet begun, and this time he was going to take ACE and Ma Xibei to participate.
An Nianrong rejected him very dryly, ACE and Ma Xibei are now subordinate to her Special Affairs Command Center, and all transfers must be approved by her, and the Special Affairs Command Center has just been established, and there are more priority tasks that need them, if Luo 'Men' must investigate Sheng Muli, she can consider sending a team of agents from the Ministry of Security to help him.
Luo 'Men' reminded her that Amat's death had not yet been settled, and it was an obvious fact that there were Americans in the Ministry of Security, and that he would definitely not cooperate with anyone from the Ministry of Security until he found out who targeted An Nianrong. An Nianrong did not show any particular enthusiasm for Luo Men's reminder, because she already knew who the person who had given Amat the 'medicine' was and had already monitored him.
This surprised Luo 'Men', it seems that this beautiful 'female' director is not as useless as he imagined.
Sophie came out of the shower and saw Ro'men sitting on the couch waiting for her.
"I'm sorry for today's incident, please forgive me." Luo 'Gate' sincerely expressed his apologies. "I would like to apologize to you again because I will be leaving France after 'handing' you and the hard drive into the hands of the person in charge of this matter, so I will not be able to fulfill my promise to you and help you find your father's murderer, but the good news is that the person in charge of this matter knows better than me what to do next."
"It's hard to believe that you've changed your mind in just a few hours?" Sophie looked at him in surprise. "Is the guarantee of you Chinese so fragile?"
"It's because someone else will do a better job than me and be more beneficial to you." Ro'mon looked at her. "Personally, I don't really care what people say about me, but don't mention my nationality."
"My father and I both work for the Chinese, and I never imagined that you would abandon us so coldly." Sophie angrily ripped off the bath towel wrapped around her head and threw it aside, clutching her head in annoyance. "Know why I chose to ask you for help instead of notifying the police? At that time, because my father told me that you are the only one to count on, but now that he sees your performance, he will definitely cry in hell. ”
Ro'mon did not speak. Sophie has been in hiding for many days, her 'spirit' is on the verge of collapse, so it doesn't make practical sense to say anything now, maybe she has been trained to resist pressure, but with the situation of the old "Sophie", I'm afraid it will be difficult to have any particularly good results, he can understand Sophie's performance. Isn't he himself terrified of the guilt of accidentally injuring his companion? And this panic has affected his judgment of the situation now.
In any case, it is the safest way to 'hand' Sophie and the hard disk into the hands of Lai 'Chun' Lei. This was their task, but not Romen's, who now regretted his hasty decision to come to France, which, if comparable, was one of the few major mistakes he made in his work.
Sophie didn't say anything more, she went straight into the bedroom, then threw a pillow at Luo 'Men' on the couch and looked at him mockingly.
"I don't think you even have this gentlemanly demeanor, do you?"
"No problem." Luo 'Men' put the pillow beside him and patted it gently. "You're the one who needs a good night's sleep."
Watching Sophie close the 'door' of the room, Luo 'door' also collapsed on the sofa.
The old "Sophie" is a member of the French *** party, although today in France, the French Communist Party can still be regarded as the fourth largest party, but in the minds of the French, the French Communist Party has almost no influence, and the general secretary of the French Communist Party has only less than nine percent support in the presidential election. This is because, firstly, during World War II, the French Communist Party was the main group that resolutely resisted Nazi aggression; Second, the French Communist Party's insistence on the view that "the construction of European defense will deprive France of the means to defend itself" has been recognized by some French people, and there is no other country in the world where the people are so politically fond of politics, so almost all political views can find supporters in France, and this is also the soil in which the French Communist Party can still exist.
The *** that the old "Sophie" suffered made him change his faith, but what about his 'daughter'? What reason did she have for another national adventure that could only be learned about on television and in the newspapers? In China, it is taken for granted that a son inherits his father's business, which is for cultural reasons, while in the Western world, a father does not mean absolute authority, and a person's growth is first manifested in the confrontation with the father, and Sophie must have had a difference of faith with her own father.
Looking at the sky 'flower' board, these questions rolled in Luo 'Men's mind', and he couldn't sleep.
He put the pistol on the side of his pillow and immediately felt better, perhaps the only thing in this world that could be trusted was weapons.
Soon he fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took 1...... 6k mobile phone station ap.1, he was suddenly awakened by a burst of sobbing.
Turn on the floor lamp next to the sofa, pick up the pistol, and gently push open the bedroom door. There was no light in the bedroom, and the outside light shone in through the unobstructed curtains, and Sophie curled up in the shadows next to the bed. She buried her face in her arms, her shoulders twitching, and she didn't look up when she heard Rommon come in.
Roma sat beside her, gently wrapping his arms around her shoulders, and Sophie struggled a little, slowly leaning against Romon's chest.
"I'm scared, Ro'mon, I've never been so scared."
Ro'mon did not speak. In this profession, many people will say many times that he feels scared, facing unknown but real dangers, fear is certain, but everyone's way of resisting pressure is different, Luo 'Men' does not think that sharing with others is a good way to reduce stress, but if others think so, then he is also willing to listen.
Leaning on him, Sophie slowly calmed down.
"Maybe you're doing the right thing, it's just that I can't accept your bluntness." Sophie wiped tears from her face. "I thought that with my father's push for you, you would work harder to help me."
If you don't go in the right direction, the harder you try, the more you will get wrong. Rommon didn't want to argue with her in such pointless arguments, and pretended not to hear the accusations in her words.
"But now I understand that there's nothing you can do about it." Sophie 'snorted' and reached for a tissue at the head of the bed. "I wish I had never helped my father."
"Get some sleep, and tomorrow you'll find out how ridiculous you've behaved today." Romen gently stroked Sophie's shoulder. "It's best not to make any decisions when you're emotionally 'excited'. You don't have to make a decision right away, there are not so many emergencies in this world. ”
"My current situation is not urgent?" Sophie looked like she was about to shed tears again.
"With me with you now, there will be more people to protect you tomorrow, so it's not an emergency." Ro'men smiled. "Unless anyone knows that your father has such a 'daughter' as you."
"I was born to a 'girl' out of whoot." Sophie saw what Roma was thinking. "So no one knew about my relationship with my father, and I used to help him deliver letters, and he would travel from city to city, and he would pay me for it, and it was only later that he warned me about the dangers of these jobs, and I learned who he was. At first, I didn't want to continue, but my mother died, and I only had one relative, my father, and I couldn't bear to see him so lonely. ”
But that's not the real reason for your job, Romen listened attentively to Sophie's words. One of the skills of a spy is to learn to gather useful information by listening, and a truly mature spy cannot be deceived by words, because in a few words he will be able to hear possible logical errors and know your details.
At least for now, Roma didn't hear the obvious error in Sophie's words, and she might really be an innocent girl.
He picked up Sophie and put her on the bed, and then lay down side by side with her, silent actions are more convincing than words, direct physical contact can make people feel safe and warm, at first Sophie's body is a little stiff, but immediately she understands Luo 'Gate's kindness. It has nothing to do with ***, it is easier for two people to snuggle up and fall asleep in the dark than to fall asleep alone and in the dark. Although the scene seemed a little strange, Rommon found that when he snuggled up with Sophie, even his restlessness was mostly gone, and Rommon soon fell asleep as he smelled the fragrance in her hair and felt the softness of her body.
