Although Lex and Matt have been out of the army for several years, the life footprints of the two have long been completely different, Matt has become a CIA agent and worked for the U.S. federal government, while Lex has become Duke's bodyguard, working for Duke, a big Chinese private boss, and because of his outstanding performance in several emergencies, he has been promoted to a senior bodyguard in Duke's bodyguard team, with a more generous salary than Matt, as Duke is now living more and more simply, Lex's working environment is also becoming more relaxed and pleasant, with little danger.

Although the two have embarked on different lives, Matt and Lex still keep in touch when Lex returned to the United States for vacation, after all, they have been in the same trench, and this friendship is much deeper than a general friendship.

And the reason why Snyder chose Lex as the breakthrough point is also because Lex now has the trust of Duke, because Lex is not only good, but also an all-rounder, who can drive almost any means of transportation, from helicopters and business planes flying in the sky, cars running on the ground, and yachts swimming in the water, most of these vehicles are comfortable with Lex, which shows that Lex is really not in vain in the United States Marine Corps.

It is precisely because of this that in some of Duke's trips that do not need to be kept secret, Lex acts as Duke's driver and bodyguard.

Duke is now traveling, and there is a Gulfstream G650 business jet for long-distance travel, of course, this one has a full-time pilot to pilot, although Lex can drive, but more as a substitute; And the short and medium distance, if it is Rongcheng, usually Duke will choose to take a helicopter to take the line of Old Man Liu one by one, there are still a lot of conveniences, at least Duke's Black Eagle can now drive into the country in a grand manner, not only Rongcheng has it, but also there is one in the Lotus base where Duke often haunts.

There will be no traffic jams from the air, it will be smoother at all times, and Duke lives relatively close to the suburbs, with good space for the Black Hawk to fly and land.

Of course, Duke will not only take Lex alone when he travels now, even if he goes to a safer place, he is now followed by at least 4 or more bodyguards, and in relatively unfamiliar places, he will use more than a dozen bodyguards to hug and control various key positions in advance, not counting the security personnel of relevant agencies in peripheral countries.

This kind of security lineup is absolutely second to none among the rich people in China, and for the general underworld forces, this security work is almost airtight.

It was not easy for Snyder to open an opening from the heavily defended Duke, so after Snyder came down, he took great pains to get the information of Duke's bodyguards, and after studying Duke's bodyguards from the United States, he chose Matt, Lex's good buddy, to China to carry out this crucial infiltration mission.

It's just that when Matt got off the plane and dragged his luggage towards the city, Matt hadn't figured out what he should do to convince his good friend to do it. Lex's current job is a great job for most Americans, not much, but it pays well, better than Matt, a CIA agent, and Duke, the boss, is also good to him, and some rich people don't see bodyguards as punching bags.

Judging from his past interactions, Matt can see that Lex is very satisfied with his current job and enjoys his current work and life.

So although Matt was thinking about how to convince Lex when he set off from the United States, he still didn't come up with any good way until he came to China.

In another space, almost at the same time as Matt got off the plane, Kong Xiangcheng, director of the Seventh National Security Bureau, received top-secret information from the inside, which was as short as a few sentences, saying that the CIA had recently launched a first-level mission against the Chinese side, and now the target was unknown, because this was an extremely unusual incident, the CIA had not appeared for many years on such a high-level secret mission against the country, so the inside line took a great risk to send out news to alert the relevant departments.

As far as he knows, the CIA can be included in the first-level tasks every year, all of which are aimed at major events that were of great importance to the impact of the United States in those years, and tasks aimed at our country's domestic targets, and very few of them have been included in the first-level tasks for decades.

At this level of mission, the CIA's presiding officers can ask all the nails lurking in the country to fully cooperate, and even do not hesitate to expose the nails of important posts that have been buried with great difficulty to carry them out. So it's an extremely expensive task, and it's not the big goal that has the most impact that deserves their investment.

What exactly is the reason why they will start this level 1 mission this time, and what kind of goals will they be targeting? After receiving the news, Kong Xiangcheng has been thinking about this problem in his mind, this information is an extremely important inside source, and the guys in the Second Bureau have tried their best to plant this nail in an important position in the CIA.

Basically, the CIA's general situation of some of the actions against the Chinese side, this nail has the opportunity to contact, if even he is not clear about the target, then this task is very likely to be a direct line task personally issued by the director of the CIA who is only responsible to the director himself, and usually the first-level task is personally controlled by the director of the CIA himself.

Only in this way will only the parties know the inside story, and no one else in the bureau knows, in order to have the highest degree of confidentiality, only in the process of funding and the use of latent nails, can outsiders see some clues, and this time Snyder directly applied to the bureau for $50 million in secret funding, which made the second bureau into the nail inside the CIA feel that the situation is extremely abnormal, and it is likely to be a great action, so he took the risk of spreading this obscure news.

It's just that in this way, it is a little unrealistic for Kong Xiangcheng to get the details of the news from within the CIA, and this situation that even the CIA's senior insiders don't know makes Kong Xiangcheng really a little worried.

After receiving the news, he immediately ordered the bureau to set up a special task force to conduct research, but until now, the special task force is still the same as him, and has not figured out the slightest clue about this sudden first-level mission goal.
