Chapter 60: The Praying Mantis (6)
"Wait a minute!" Zhou Ji's brain was in chaos as he drove a car on the road, and Wang Yao's account was clear and organized, but he couldn't turn the corner anyway. "Wang Yao, you say... It was Lin Xingcheng who threw Zhou Yanjun downstairs?!? β
"Hmm. How? β
"Do you also say that a certain organization to which Lin Xingcheng belongs is dedicated to searching for people who possess black books, seizing their black books, then murdering them, and finally blaming all the crimes on the black book company?"
"Judging from Lin Xingcheng's behavior and language, it should be like this."
β... So, this organization doesn't have anything to do with the top, right? β
Wang Yao glanced at Zhou Ji and said lightly, "It's not impossible for you to think so. The ignorant are the happiest. β
"Don't tell me this! I just want to confirm..."Zhou Ji was so distraught that he almost hit the flower bed on the side of the street, hurriedly hit the steering wheel and continued, "I just want to confirm that there is no point in dedicating all my work to it!" If we are just pawns being used to achieve private goals, and the Black Books Company has not actually done anything harmful to the country at all, why should we continue to investigate! β
"Do you have any other options than to follow orders?" Wang Yao lowered his head tiredly and pinched Yamagen and said, "I'm not saying that there is definitely collusion with a certain organization to carry out self-interested behavior, but I don't dare to guarantee that there is no chief with a deep red background who has such a relationship." After all, there has never been a trace of any organization other than the Black Book Company in File 0376, and judging from the timeline recorded in the file and the number of agents who died, Lin Xingcheng's organization to hunt Black Book holders has long existed, or..."
Wang Yao paused, raised his head and looked at Zhou Ji's complicated eyes in the rearview mirror, and said word by word, "Perhaps, before there was no record in the archives, the Black Book Company and the organization opposite it existed in other ways and under other names, and the reason why we couldn't find any news about the Black Book Company was because the organization that tried to suppress them eliminated all insiders, and used countless high-powered members to clean up all the gossip on the Internet and in reality. This is probably why the suspects and agents involved in the case have died one after another for no apparent reason. β
Zhou Ji's face gradually distorted. You must know that since he entered the Security Service on the first day with the enthusiastic consciousness of sacrificing his life for the country, he never imagined that there would be such a day. The faith and patriotism in his heart have never allowed him to have even the slightest doubt about his work, although sometimes there will be many inducements to shake his belief in the mission, but without exception he was defeated by his firm will, but... Now he can't deceive himself anymore.
"Zhou Ji, we are agents." Wang Yao seemed to see the painful contradiction in Zhou Ji's heart, and persuaded indifferently, "Don't listen, don't ask, don't look, you just need to execute the order." This is our vocation and the meaning of our existence. Since you have chosen this direct, accept it all. β
After a while, Zhou Ji let out a long breath from his stuffy chest, and then spit out a few words: "... I don't understand. β
"Huh?"
"Wang Yao, I don't understand why you act so indifferent?" Zhou Ji gritted his teeth angrily, "You obviously know that we were thrown out of the Black Book Company by selfish people as bait that can be discarded at any time, and for this reason, our best friends Li Tang and Yue Zhi lost their lives in vain!" Why are you still so calm? Rather than wasting my time and life continuing to investigate the case of the Black Book Company, I would rather find out who is the culprit of all this! β
"What do you think you can do with you and us?" Wang Yao frowned and retorted coldly, "Do you think I don't want to do this? Indeed, I discovered something was wrong with File 0376 before you did. But is it any use? Do you know which chief sent us to carry out the task, which chief sent Lin Xingcheng to join in the middle of the process, or which chief manipulated the layers of managers and executors below? Do you know how long they have been stationed inside the Security Service? Do you know where their supreme ruler has sitting? If you think you can look up, you know how deep the red you are going to be dealing with as an ant-like little agent?! We are agents, people who can give their lives and even the lives of our whole families for the country, and all the governors above represent the country, so we either absolutely carry out the order or die!! β
Wang Yao's words were loud, and Zhou Ji was speechless.
Why did things get to this point? Neither is it advancing or retreating. Keep checking? Zhou Ji was 100% sure that although Lin Xingcheng didn't know why he spared Wang Yao's life this time, what he said on the phone, "I'm going to come to you soon", means that the two of them will eventually be 'disposed of' by the organization with a red background behind them.
So what if you don't check it? Immediately return to the headquarters with Wang Yao to abandon the mission and accept the investigation?
No, it's not feasible either. Lin Xingcheng's identity has long been exposed in front of the two of them, plus Wang Yao was framed for a human life because he ran away halfway, this is already difficult to explain, not to mention that I don't know which chief is with Lin Xingcheng, when the time comes to return to the headquarters and tell these things they have experienced, not only will no one believe it, it is estimated that the final fate of the two of them will be as easy as bed bugs to be crushed to death and rushed into the sewer.
β... That, that... Two police uncles..."The long-forgotten young man who was sitting aside finally seized the opportunity to open his mouth at this time, although he didn't understand the meaning of the conversation between Zhou and Wang, but he also listened to a rough idea: "I seem to understand, you were framed by the powerful spies in the police station, right?" I often watch spy movies on TV, I get it! β
Zhou Ji was a little irritable, he was in no mood to deal with the naΓ―ve teenager next to him. Instead, Wang Yao raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Is it? Since you have so much experience, what do you think the two of us should do now to get out of this situation? β
"It's very simple, Uncle Policeman, find someone to help!" The boy said, "I can hear you, you have found that the bad guys you want to arrest are actually good people, then the enemy of your enemy is your friend, why did you choose to give up on yourself and obey orders instead of not going to the person from that company to help you fight the spy inside the police station?" β
Hearing the young man's words, Zhou Ji and Wang Yao were stunned at the same time.
Yes, why didn't they think about the reason why they didn't let them contact the Black Book Company, maybe it wasn't because they were afraid that they would do something harmful to society, but because they were worried that they would find out the truth of everything, and turned to attack the secret organization hidden in the background of the Security Service and the state!
