Chapter 472 The Moon and the Ditch

"Rick, I have sad news for you," Martin said as he came to Rick's office door and knocked on the open door.

"Hello, Dr. Martin," Rick looked up to see Martin standing in the doorway, slightly surprised, as he checked some information from the Secret Service's internal systems.

After switching to the computer, he reached out to the couch in his office and motioned, "Please be seated." ”

"Your men seem to have missed during the previous arrests," Martin said with some regret, "that mysterious man has been active again lately. ”

"What!?" Rick froze for a moment, slightly surprised, and got up to pour Martin a cup of coffee, so as to quickly hide his true emotions.

When he first heard Martin's words, Rick's heart was very excited, but he had to show regret and shock in front of Martin.

Rick's real identity is a Chinese spy lurking in the Secret Service, and he originally had a low position and rank in the Secret Service, but by chance, he happened to save Kelly's wife in a terrorist attack.

As the Minister of Homeland Security, Kelly has the enviable power of his country, but fate has also cost him many things, such as his son. As one of the giants at the core of power, Kelly's social circle is pitifully small, and the only relatives around him are his wife.

When Kelly learned that his wife was at the scene of the attack when he learned that his wife was attacking, he felt a wave of fear that he had never felt before. The police and special forces were sent out, but Kelly sat in his office, not even daring to watch the live news.

He prayed, and even prayed to God that he would trade his life for his wife's safety. When the office line was dialed, his hand to get the microphone trembled slightly.

"Your Excellency, your wife's whereabouts have been found, and Secret Service agent Rick was at the scene of the attack, he saved your wife and has been keeping her safe ever since."

The message from the microphone was like a heavenly sound, and Kelly's hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach. Breathless, he slumped in his office chair and gave an order to the other end of the phone.

"Bring him to my office, and I'm going to see him in person."

Rick's position in the Secret Service has been greatly improved by Kelly's gratitude and appreciation, and he has also managed to enter Kelly's circle of henchmen. Based on his life-saving relationship with Kelly's wife, in the process of being promoted to an important position, the process that should have further verified the identity was only a formality, and the intelligence agencies of the entire United States did not even use the spy personnel in China to counter the identity of Charek.

Rick's career as a spy has as much to do with luck as it does with his own wit and hard work. Previously, after learning that the Department of Homeland Security was going to attack the "Yan Group", he quickly transmitted the information back to China through covert means.

Rick is of Chinese descent, but his family is in China, and he has always regarded China as his only homeland.

The news that Martin told him made Rick feel that his efforts were not in vain, although he didn't know who the "mystery man" was, but it was certain that this guy's weight in China was definitely not light, because it could be seen from the importance of Martin and Kelly and others.

Martin took a sip of the coffee that Rick handed him, "Can you tell me about your plan of action, I want to help you analyze it and see what the problem is." ”

The two have been in contact with each other a lot at work during this time, and they have worked together together to capture the "mystery man" before, and when Martin is alone, Rick's face often comes to mind.

It was the face of an oriental man, and Martin smiled at the thought of Rick. Rick's appearance is not as rugged as that of Western men, but he is very manly, his eyebrows and eyes are angular, and his beard is trimmed very well every time they meet.

Martin didn't know that she had a crush on this man, she had been obsessed with scientific research before, and had never been in a relationship, until she was at the Paheiochi Observatory, Mario's words gave her a new perspective on her life.

"Don't treat yourself too badly, you are still very young, you must know how to properly pull yourself out of your work and take a look at the beautiful scenery around you."

"You're not like me, I'm old, and you're in the prime of life. Life is too short to suppress yourself, you have missed a lot in life, and it's still too late to go back and pursue what you have lost. ”

Thoughts came to the old man, who was also a teacher and friend, and his teachings often echoed in her ears, and Martin gradually opened her heart, and the first person who walked into her heart was Rick.

"We sent a member of the mercenary organization living in seclusion in China to attack the stronghold of this 'mysterious man'," confirming that the operation had failed, then its secret plan would be meaningless, and Rick was facing Martin who was involved in the plan, so he didn't intend to hide anything from her.

Rick told Martin about the arrangement of the operation, and he planned to see what kind of high opinion this woman would have, and if he could help him find some loopholes, it might help him to continue to work for Huaguo in the future.

"Did he ever miss?" Martin asked.

"I don't know anything else, but the mission assigned to him on our side has never been missed." Rick thought for a moment and continued, "He's missing. ”

"That's dead."

Rick nodded, and he and Martin were very much in agreement on the situation.

"Don't you have a backhand?" Martin continued.

"There should be some people up there, but he's the only one I've assigned the task to."

"Peregrine falcon ......," Martin muttered, suddenly realizing that she had slipped a tongue, and she looked up at Rick to find that the other man was staring at her in surprise.

"I really wanted to get to know you, so I sneaked around your computer," Martin's expression was a little embarrassed, like a thief caught on the spot, "I swear I've only seen this name." ”

"Okay," Rick wiped the sweat from his forehead, if it weren't for Martin's sudden and accidental name of the person who accepted the mission, he would have almost forgotten that the older beauty next to him was a super hacker.

"Although I don't really mind, for national security reasons, I don't want a next time." Rick smiled, "Otherwise, when the FBI comes over, I don't know if it's going to take me or you." ”

"Hmm," Martin nodded like a little woman.

"You said you wanted to get to know me, so I'll tell you about my job when I tell you about this mission," Rick looked at Martin, and he noticed that the woman was very bad at hiding her inner workings. Rick studied psychology and was familiar with the spying agency's art of discerning words, and Martin's clumsy emotional disguise skills in his eyes were no different from that of a high school girl.

Martin's earlier "I would love to get to know you" made Rick feel a little worried, and he could hear that there was something strange in this sentence, and as a spy with a mission, he didn't want to be caught up in the emotional vortex here.

What's more, he still has a wife and daughter on the other side of the ocean, although their life and death are unknown now, but Rick's heart will always be filled with them and Huaguo.

Rick deliberately diverted the topic with the understanding of "understanding work", but Martin stubbornly said, "I want to know you, Rick." ”

"What?" Rick pretended to be shocked, but his heart was "groaning".

"The office is a place to talk about work," Rick politely declined with a smile on his face.

"Well, you're right, it's really not a good place to exchange feelings." Martin nodded, "I'll treat you to dinner that night." ”

Her eyes blinked a few times, a faint flush appeared on her face, and the man stood up from the couch, waiting for Rick's reply.

Rick didn't expect Martin to ignore his refusal, and he was about to tell the beautiful doctor about his family, but after thinking about it, he thought that this might be an opportunity for him to get in touch with another circle.

"It's the hardest thing to be treated with," Rick hesitated inwardly, "Is it appropriate for me to use her like this?" ”

However, he quickly made a choice with the mission of Huaguo, and hid his guilt for his wife and daughter deep in his heart.

"I invite you, please give this gentleman in the house a chance that he may invite the beautiful woman in front of him to dinner."

"Well, at six o'clock that night, we will see you in the cafeteria of the institute," the smile on Martin's face instantly brightened, like a sunflower that suddenly bloomed, ripe and incomprehensibly beautiful.

With a sense of contentment, Martin left Rick's office, forgetting the plan of action that he had planned to explore in depth.

Rick stared at Martin's departing back, his face suddenly lightened the moment it disappeared into the doorway.

"You're all right," he muttered inwardly. Because of the outbreak of the disaster, many institutions in China were almost paralyzed, and when Rick passed on the information that the "Yan Group" was in danger, he was not sure whether his companions in China would be able to receive the news.

He had no choice but to try his best to get the message out there, and the outcome was left to fate.

Today Martin said that she had access to his computer, which made Rick suddenly realize that the system that had been delivering messages was not necessarily very secure. Although all traces of the message are destroyed after it is sent, what if the computer is in a state of prying eyes in the process of transmitting the message?

Upon realizing the vulnerability, Rick shuddered. He suddenly realized that he was ignoring some lurking dangers in this area of the web. Thinking of this, he became more and more determined to go and make contact with Martin.

Since you can't hide it, let's just put it to good use.
