248. People who live in the night

Just after midnight, Mr. Bertnis, deputy director of the NSA's Operations Bureau, was about to sleep, and since taking office, the workload of each day has been far greater than before. Losing the freedom he used to be free, but having more control over everything, this kind of thing, Betnis can't talk about whether it's good or bad.

When the phone rang, Betnis was leaning on the head of the bed and slept, the woman had left him many years ago, and Bettniss often thought that this woman's departure had solved her years of confusion and allowed her to devote herself to her work in order to achieve what she is today. But he also thanked one more person in his heart: Volks. This man is unimaginably powerful, providing him with too much information in just one month, and creating countless opportunities for himself.

"Hello?" Betnis picked up the phone, and the number showed a string of '0', which was supposed to be a confidential number. Of course, there aren't many people who know their private number, and Bettnes has nothing to fear.

"Betnis, I'm Santo."

"I didn't expect you to call me." Betnis came interested. This Santo is not easy to deal with, he has been in the NSA for more than 20 years, and it is said that the information in his hands is worth an army, but he owes the slightest respect to Betnis. "Didn't you say last time that you don't want to get involved in what is wrong? Why are you looking for me so late? ”

Bettniss doesn't need to deal with Santo, the head of a small intelligence analysis group, although he has deep roots. But Betnis thinks she's right.

"It's too late, I'm already being dragged into the water."

I didn't know how it was possible for such a soft voice to come from Santo's thick body.

Betnis was cranky, but he quickly picked up Santo's words, "How is that possible?" Who can drag you into the water? The current president is not good, he won't be in office for long, and he will be changed soon. ”

Santo didn't feel any laughing at the joke. He pondered for a moment, then said, "I heard that you can get a person's information, and I wonder if we need to meet and talk." Betnes, mutual benefit. ”

"You don't need to remind me, Santo, I remember that your intelligence network is stronger than most people, how could you think of asking me for information?" Lying on the bed, Bettnes chuckled.

"Old Betnis, remember, mutual benefit." Santo's voice didn't sound very happy, and then, with an address, he hung up.

Bettens, holding the microphone, fell into deep thought.

……

Like Betnes, he was not alone in the midnight break.

Angry, Zhou Rui consumed some favors to find a man named Auriduo. Gro's guys. Gro is famous in some fields, and he is also a well-known lone ranger, and he doesn't know what evil he has fallen into, or he has got a huge amount of money that can be retired, and he actually found out from the Lion Awakening Hotel in his own way, and found Athena's clue by touching the vine.

The handling of this matter, of course, did not require Zhou Rui to do anything, he conveyed the information to Mo Lei.

Mo Lei believes that all the veins can eventually converge into one point, and from the beginning to the end of things, there will be many forks in the middle, and they will turn around again. This gro may be another link and a thread.

When he was in his twenties, he used to work for an intelligence organization in Brazil, and after more than ten years, he left the government department to work alone, and from time to time he would do miscellaneous work for certain departments, and he had a lot of information and a wide range of channels. This time looking for the beautiful Indo-European woman, Gro only glanced at her photo and made a few phone calls, and easily completed the task.

After handing over the information, Gro went to Brasilia to spend a fun weekend with his girlfriend before returning to Bogotá. He was sitting in his usual seat at a nightclub he frequented, watching the lights flicker and a handful of Western tourists bouncing around the dance floor.

Located next to the market in Bogotá's old district, the 'Last Resort Club' is a modern bar and restaurant that belongs to Gro's property. He came here almost always after eleven o'clock at night, and rarely left his seat after he came—a circular couch in the corner, with a bodyguard with a gun on each side. Except, of course, that he goes to the office alone to take stock of his earnings or read his emails on the Internet.

Around midnight, he wanted to go to the bathroom, so he went up the circular staircase to the nest on the second floor, waved his hand to let the bodyguard stay downstairs, and then walked into the private bathroom of the office alone.

He finished peeing, flushing, zipping, turning, and ended up confronting a pistol.

"What the fuck is going on?" Gro said in Spanish.

"Do you know me?" This sentence is rushed out in English.

Gro just stared at the muffler in front of him.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

"Please, you put your gun down so I can see you." Gro's tone was calm, he had encountered too many such scenes.

Mo Lei moved the pistol downward, aimed it at Gro's heart, and asked again, "How is this line of sight now?" ”

"Know, which Chinese named Mo Lei are you, the whole of South America is looking for you." Gro nodded, his hands still holding the belt, but this time his heart began to tremble, but he still maintained an indifferent expression, and asked rhetorically, "You dare to appear here?" ”

"Didn't you even think I was coming to you? This surprised me. Mo Lei quickly glanced at the door that led to the cylindrical staircase, "You didn't expect me to come, did you?" ”

Gro shrugged his shoulders and lowered his hands from his belt, "Why did I think you'd come?" ”

"All the news, as well as underground news, is spreading, what is my relationship with the owner of the Lion Awakening Hotel, are you not afraid of our retaliation if you do those things?"

"I'm just verbal, it's just a business: I know something and use it for profit. So, why should I worry? ”

"I can't answer what you say, it seems to make sense." Mo Lei sneered, and used his thumb to knock down the hammer of the 45 caliber pistol in his hand, "Then kill you." ”

Gro spread his hands indifferently, he knew that the man in front of him would not be able to attack him now, and the other party should also want to get some information from his mouth, so he reached out, gently pushed the pistol on his chest, raised half of his eyebrows and asked, "Are we going to stand in the bathroom for a long time?" ”

Mo Lei smiled and took a step back, letting Gro walk into the office, but the muzzle of the gun was still aimed at Gro's chest. Gro's hands were slightly raised, but he was rubbing his hands through his erect blonde hair as he looked at the window leading to the escape ladder, "You jumped in through the window?" This is the second floor, and you're almost the same age as me, and your behavior is really immature. ”

"They didn't kill you, I'm afraid you still have a reason to stay." Mo Lei's pistol pointed at the sofa in the corner of the wall and motioned for Gro to sit down.

Gro's hand reached out to the table, Mo Lei took a step forward vigilantly, and pushed Gro's waist with one hand, Gro glanced back at him, opened the humidor from the table, took out a cigar, and sat down on the chair in front of the desk of his choice.

"Tell me, who's going to let you get Athena?"

"Fuck you!" Gro didn't look at Mo Lei, and put the cigar under his nose and sniffed it.

"It's very kind." Mo Lei turned his gun back at the Brazilian's head.

"If you shoot, you won't live. I've got ten men with guns in this house, and they'll pounce on you when your guns go off. Even if you can deal with more people, the next chase will be endless, and you ....... The Brazilian suddenly stopped rambling and found that Mo Lei had retracted his pistol holster.

Mo Lei took a step forward, grabbed Gro's arm, made him turn, and pressed him against the wall.

"What I'm going to do next will make you feel pain and make you feel the urge to cry out for help, but I promise you, if you dare to make a sound, I'll knock you unconscious, and I'll do the same on your other arm. What happens to Gro without arms? I think it's okay, you just have ears and a mouth, by the way, I'll keep your eyeballs for you, put them in a glass bottle and ....... ”

While speaking, Mo Lei grabbed Gro's left arm and folded it back, and then smashed his elbow into the back of Gro's outstretched elbow at once.

"Don't!"

Before Gro could scream, Mo Lei grabbed his hair and slammed into the wall. After the roots of his ears were cleaned, Mo Lei said, "Do it again?" Your joint isn't broken yet, but as long as you don't scream, you can probably save it. ”

"I said... I'll tell you who told me to go to Athena. Groh panted. So Mo Lei let go of his strength, "An old Russian bastard named Kovalenko." He used to be in the intelligence unit, and I can't say which department it is, but he gave me a sum of money, and I owed him a favor many years ago, so it can be regarded as completely paid off. ”

"Why are you looking for her?"

Gro, whose knees were weak, slid down the wall, and Mo Lei helped him sit on the ground, only to see his face pale, his eyes wide open, and his elbows in pain.

"Why? Gro. ”

"He didn't tell me why."

"How can I find him?"

"How do I know, he used to be an agent. Now it's a business relationship with me, he gives me money, I provide clues, it's as simple as that. Gro was a little annoyed, "To be honest, I'll give you a message for free, he's a partner with Volks, you can figure it out for yourself." ”

At this time, there was a sudden gunshot from downstairs, followed by the screams of men and women. Mo Lei quickly stood up and ran towards the window. He lifted the windowpane and looked out, then turned to look at the Brazilian, "Don't forget to tell them before they kill you, I'm here to find Valenko and Vaux." ”

Gro struggled to his feet with a good arm and the corner of his desk, "Don't go, Yankee, I'm afraid I'm here downstairs to kill me, let's go fight with them together." ”

Mo Lei quickly climbed to the escape ladder outside, turned his head and said to Gro, "Those guys downstairs are the trouble you have to solve, and I also have my own problems." ”

With that, he jumped down the second floor and disappeared into the dark midnight.

Gro's face stiffened, and he cursed everything in a low voice.
