Chapter 146: Rookie Agent
Burton was startled and suddenly stood up from the bed, but it involved a wound on his back, which made him gasp and bend down in pain.
Qixing hurriedly stepped forward, pressed him back to the edge of the bed and sat down, checked his back, and said with some complaints: "Why are you so excited?" Since you are willing to tell you, it means that you are still saved, and we can detoxify you. You didn't finish your words, you just got out of control, I really don't know how you became a British agent? With that, he took the gauze and reworked the wound that Burton had opened.
Hearing Qixing say that he could save him, Burton was obviously relieved, and said thank you to Qixing repeatedly, his gratitude overflowing.
Since they all said it, Qixing simply spoke up. She told Burton that the poison he was in was introduced into his body with his daily diet, and that the toxicity was not significant each time, and the body would not react significantly. But over time, as the toxins accumulate in the body, when they reach a certain level, then no one can save him.
During this time, Burton ate and lived with Fukuda Zuo and others, and he knew who poisoned him without asking, and then Burton finally believed that what Hugo said was the truth.
Seven Stars told Burton about the poison's toxicity and said that we were already working on an antidote for him, so he could rest assured.
Seeing that Burton had reacted so much just now, Hugo was about to interrupt the conversation. Burton hurriedly stopped him, asked Hugo to continue, and repeatedly promised that he would not lose his temper like he had just now.
Hugo had no choice but to say: "Actually, you were wrong from the beginning. If these people really did something earth-shattering, then they would never allow outsiders to intervene. Because no outsiders can be trusted, and even some of their own people will be cleared out once they are suspected. So you're lucky to have met us. ”
This time Burton nodded sincerely in agreement, he had realized that he was still inexperienced, and indeed he was not an opponent of an old fox like Fukuda Zuo, which he had to admit.
Now I understand that this Mr. Burton is brave and resourceful, but he still knows too little about the tactics of the Eastern world. There are some things that he still uses the habitual thinking of Europeans to judge, which is very wrong.
At this point, I thought to myself that this guy was still a rookie at all. I didn't have any practical experience, I didn't make careful plans and arrangements, and I came to risk it alone with enthusiasm.
Courage is commendable, but it's also stupid! He was so reckless except to die in vain, there was no second result. This time he was lucky to run into us, otherwise he would have to die in a foreign land!
Supposedly, this is also the irresponsibility of his superiors to him, Burton is still young after all, if he can be guided by an experienced old agent, he may have some achievements in growing up for a while.
And just throwing him into the tiger's den in Longtan alone, he is the real James Bond, and that can't be played.
Besides, a movie is a movie, and it's far from reality. If the agent really went through the dangers in the movie, no matter how powerful the person was, it would not be enough to die a hundred times.
Hugo then asked Burton, "Is there anything else you need to tell us?" ”
Burton understood what Hugo meant, and he said: "I came to China because I investigated Fukuda and these people, and I said everything I could." If you have any doubts about me, look into it. But I swear to God that I have never done anything against Chinese law in China! As he said this, he symbolically raised his right hand.
I didn't think much of swearing, but Hugo nodded trustingly. Maybe it's politeness, maybe it's respect for his beliefs. All in all, the atmosphere between us has eased a lot.
Hugo also gave us a brief introduction, and of course he only said what he could say. When we were introduced, they were all codenames, not our real names.
Trusting each other aside, D.R.T belongs to the secret department, and many things cannot be disclosed to the public.
In the end, Hugo said to Burton without concealment: "Please be wronged for the past two days, stay here for the time being, and don't leave." While recuperating from your injuries, we have to check your affairs again. As long as you are sure that you have not violated the laws of our country, I will let you go as soon as possible. ”
Burton agreed very understandingly, and got up and shook hands with Hugo and me in a friendly manner.
Seven Stars stayed behind to continue checking on Burton's condition, and Hugo and I walked out of the observation room one after the other. When he came to the restaurant, Hugo poured a glass of water and drank it slowly.
Seeing that no one else was there, I asked Hugo Burton what to do with it.
Hugo said: "I will check with the Ministry of National Security for Burton's words, and if he is really okay, we will let him go." His target is Fukuda, and now that Fukuda is in our hands, his mission is over, just send him away. ”
"You believe him?" I asked, puzzled, "The agents are specially trained, and they can't even detect lies with a lie detector." Don't you suspect that he is acting? ”
Hugo smiled slightly and said, "I only believe in the evidence!" After I investigate, I will distinguish between the real and the false. ”
Since Hugo had his own plans, I won't ask anymore.
At this time, Hugo said to me: "There are no new tasks for the time being, so you should rest for a while." I have to work with the Ministry of State Security these days, and I may not come back for the time being. But I'll definitely be back at the end of the month to do the handover with you! ”
It's just the middle of the month, and although I'm a little anxious about the handover, it's not good to show it to Hugo, so I have to agree.
It seems that I want to know the secret about the black heart, so I can only wait patiently until the end of the month.
Burton was kept in the observation room, and we still had to lock the door at night and send someone to watch him. However, Burton showed great understanding and cooperation in this regard, and did not show any dissatisfaction.
By noon, Feng Jiutian had prepared an antidote and instructed Qixing to inject Burton directly. Fortunately, Burton's poisoning is not deep, and after three days of continuous injection, it can basically be detoxified.
After lunch, Feng Jiutian and Hugo had to leave the villa at the same time. Hugo was going to the Ministry of State Security, and Feng Jiutian was going back to do the work handover, and the two happened to go together.
But these two people came together and are now walking together, which makes me have to suspect that they did it on purpose.
Two more days later, after dinner that day, An Beimo was washing the dishes on duty, Qixing cleaned up and went to give Burton a physical examination, while Shen Hao urged me to go upstairs to play games with him.
I complained that it was boring to play that thing, but instead persuaded Shen Hao to come and play two games of chess with me. Shen Hao's biggest frustration was playing chess, and seeing that I had already gotten up to get the chessboard, he turned his head and ran. By the time I turned around, he was gone.
There were only two people left in the restaurant, me and An Beimo, I snickered and looked around, to make sure that there was no one else, and then approached An Beimo and whispered: "Do you have time tomorrow afternoon?" Let's go out! ”
"What time is it?" An Beimo continued to bow his head and brush the bowl and asked me.
"A little bit!" I said, "Shen Hao must have gone to the gym at that time, and Qixing was going to give Burton a routine check-up at that time, which was the right time." ”
An Beimo put the washed dishes in the closet, shook his hand and asked me: "Let's just go out quietly, how do you answer when they ask afterwards?" ”
I said, "I have already said hello to Uncle Zhao, if Shen Hao and they ask, they will say that we have something to do and go out temporarily." After thinking about it, I said again: "When Qixing and Shen Hao leave, we will go upstairs to change clothes, and then meet in the garage." It's 1:15 a.m., how's that? Fifteen minutes is enough? ”
An Beimo shook his long hair back and said lightly: "Enough!" ”
After saying that, I pretended to be casual and walked upstairs.
There was nothing on my face, but my heart was actually beating like a drum, and I felt extremely nervous. I thought that arranging a date was like a secret operation, but are other people dating girls as mysterious as me?
After going upstairs and returning to my room, my nervous nerves had not yet relaxed, so I looked for a book to read. As a result, after opening a page of the book, I didn't turn it for half an hour. I don't know what's going on in my head, I'm always absent-minded.
So I put the book back and I started rummaging through the cabinets to find the clothes I was going to wear tomorrow. picked and chosen, and finally chose jeans, T-shirts, jackets, and casual shoes, I wanted to try them on, but I was afraid that Shen Hao would suddenly break in and bump into them, so I had to compare them on my body, and hung them in the most convenient place in the cabinet.
When I was done, I stood in the middle of the room and didn't know what to do. So he lit a cigarette, took out the book he had put back in, and sat on the couch to read.
This time, I read a page, and my mind flew again, and I sat there in a daze unconsciously. I took a puff of the cigarette I lit and forgot it until it burned out and went out.
I tossed the book to the side, which still hadn't been opened, and got up to take a shower in the bathroom. When I finished washing, I found that I forgot to take the bath towel and the clothes I wanted to change.
Shaking his head helplessly and smiling bitterly, thinking to himself that this was the first time I had lost my mind so flustered. I didn't seem to be nervous about the graduation exam, so why did a date make me feel like I lost my soul?
I don't understand this abnormal mentality of myself! To say that my psychological quality is still very strong, I will not frown when facing life and death, but now when I think of going out on a date with An Beimo, I will immediately become troubled by gains and losses, and I will be restless.
Scolding myself for not being productive, I went back and washed again, but this time with cold water.
After coming out of the bathroom, drying and changing, I went straight to bed and turned off the lights and went to bed. It didn't take me a minute to fall asleep when I lay down, but tonight I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Even the sheep have been counted to more than 10,000, and there is a high possibility of breaking through 20,000.
I felt so wrong that I rolled over and sat up, and I had to think about why it was so hard to calm down.
At this time, when I thought about it seriously, my mood calmed down a lot.
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally understood what caused my emotions to go out of control, and it turned out that it was because I had been restraining and suppressing my thoughts, which made me so irritable.
In fact, what has always appeared in my mind is the shadow of An Beimo.
But I was afraid that I would think of her, so I desperately tried to divert my thoughts. But it didn't work much, and the more I restrained, the stronger my thoughts became.
What am I afraid of? I can't help but ask myself, it seems that every time I think of An Beimo, I feel like I have made a mistake. And why should I be afraid to think of her?
What's even stranger is that I don't know the answer!
