This fact made Britney feel a little uncomfortable, and she sat on the couch thinking nonsense, pursing her lips and looking at the woman with very impolite eyes.

The light in the whole living room is very dim, and the old walls around it seem to have a kind of magic, which can absorb the light emitted by the light, making the living room look gloomy and dim, and a trace of coldness spreads from her feet, making Britney's heart more and more cold.

"What are you looking for him?"

The woman was wearing a white pajama, her hands were folded, and she looked at Britney condescendingly.

"There are some important things...... Can I meet him? ”

Britney stood up and was about to go deeper into the house, but was stopped by a woman.

"He's not at home, don't go in."

"Not at home? So where is he? ”

"He's working."

The woman took out a cigarette from the table and lit it, blowing a cloud of white smoke in one breath, "If that's why you're here, then you go back, I don't think Bernie will be back tonight, and you'll come back tomorrow if you have something to do." ”

Come back tomorrow?

This is naturally a request that Britney will never agree to, if she really wants to go back so easily, she will not come so lightly in the first place, since she is gritting her teeth and preparing to come over for help, she will definitely not go back if she can't see Bernie.

"I've already said that he won't be coming back tonight, please get out of my house now."

The woman extinguished the cigarette butt, and the whites of her eyes were covered with bright red bloodshots.

"So can you tell me his contact information?"

"No......"

Compared to before, the woman's attitude was already extremely unceremonious at the moment, and she walked over and stood in front of Britney, tugging at her sleeve to let her out.

"Please wait."

Britney struggled, "I really have something to do with Bernie. ”

"Hurry up and get me out, or I'll call the police."

The woman threatens Britney with her phone.

"Click......"

The sound of the key unlocking the lock sounded. A middle-aged man in a black coat opened the door and looked in amazement at two women tearing in the hallway.

"Y-what are you doing?"

"Bernie!"

Seeing the man appear, Britney's eyes lit up, and she broke away from the woman's right hand, walked up to the man and said, "I have something to look for you." ”

"Why are you here?"

Bernie squinted slightly, and said this. I couldn't tell what the expression on his face really was.

"There's something I'd like you to help me with."

Britney hesitated for a moment, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the woman staring at her, and she no longer hesitated, and immediately said, "Someone broke into my house without permission...... I didn't dare go back, so I came to you. ”

"I'm sorry, I think the first thing you should do is call the police instead of running to me."

Bernie unbuttoned his coat and let the woman take it, turning around and saying, "What can I help you with...... Like you said before. I can't help you with anything. ”

"Bernie ......"

Britney clenched her teeth and bit her lower lip, feeling the urge to slam the door and go out, but finally reason calmed her down, took out her phone from her arms, opened the picture, and handed it to Bernie: "Look at this." ”

"What is this? Did you run to the hospital morgue? ”

Glancing at his phone casually, Bernie said unconcernedly.

"It's not a morgue."

Britney said, "So I have something to talk to you about." ”

"Britney, you're still the same as before."

Bernie looked tired and walked into the living room and sat down. Let the woman pour herself a glass of water: "Give you five minutes, I'll have to rest later." "It's not the same as it used to be. When there was no divorce before, Bernie would never have spoken to her like that.

Britney was shocked, both lost and angry, but fortunately she was always a sensible woman, sometimes stupid. At the critical moment, she was very calm and calm, so she also sat on the sofa and told the reason and process of the incident from beginning to end.

If you tell someone else this kind of thing, I'm afraid that Britney is a delusional madman, and Bernie is different. Bernie knew that the woman, despite being self-centered, was going to lie, and hadn't been married once in five or six years.

So although Bernie didn't care on the surface, his ears still heard the cause of the incident clearly, combined with the photos on his phone, his eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle, combined with the deep sunken eye sockets, giving people a sense of worry.

"Who else knows about this?"

Bernie interrupts Britney.

"Those who know about this now, plus your words, are two people."

Britney subconsciously looked into the room deep in the living room, and the woman walked in and never came out.

"You'd better contact that Rio once, when did that happen?"

"Well, it's noon today."

"Bring your phone."

Britney handed over the phone inexplicably, Bernie took it, quickly opened the back cover, removed the phone card and twisted it in half.

"Y-What are you doing?" Britney was taken aback and wanted to take it back, but unfortunately it was too late, so she could only look at the damaged mobile phone card in a daze.

"This thing is not safe...... You should be glad nothing happened last night. ”

Bernie threw the phone back and said solemnly: "The Frost Group is not simple, this company is not only very powerful on Wall Street, but also has ties to the Washington government, and is even more involved with many state government legislators, many of our state legislators have received political contributions from the Frost Group...... Whatever they're doing, you'd better leave it alone. ”

Britney stared at Bernie in amazement, as if she didn't know her ex-husband who had been in bed with her for five or six years. What time has you had to back down? This is unprecedented!

As if to see what she was thinking from Britney's face, Bernie lit a cigarette, took a puff and said slowly, "People are changing, you don't have to think anything strange...... Since divorcing you, I have also been reflecting on what I have done wrong before. Later, I thought about it for a long time before I understood. My biggest fault was not being able to turn, no matter what was in front of me, I wanted to go in a straight line, and that's why the first half of my life became like that. ”

"Bernie ......"

Britney stopped talking.

"Well, it's useless to talk about that. I'm making it very clear, you don't care about it, you're leaving Los Angeles tomorrow...... I'll arrange it for you, for the sake of the previous situation. ”

"But what about Rio?"

Britney stood up sharply and looked down at Bernie with suppressed anger.

"That's your friend, not mine."

Bernie was not at all moved by Britney's appearance, "What's more, it's hard to say whether this friend of yours still exists in this world." I guess you can only be in certain lands...... No, you should be able to find him at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. ”

"How so?"

Covering her mouth, Britney couldn't believe it.

Bernie shrugged, "The world is like this, the dark side is always hard to accept, maybe the vast majority of businesses in the United States are law-abiding, then this certainly does not include the Frost Group, this behemoth will not only suck the wealth of the people like the banks." It's not hard to do this kind of thing when necessary. ”

"Then you, why don't you ......?"

Before Britney could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Bernie: "I don't think you know." The Frost Group has a team of 100 lawyers, and no one dares to touch it without sufficient evidence. ”

"What's more, even if there is evidence, there will be many people who are unwilling to be touched by it."

Bernie has been an agent at the FBI for eight years, even if not at the highest level, only at the GS-11 level. But after being exposed to certain things for a long time, he knows very well how terrible a multinational plutocracy like the Frost Group is.

The personnel involved in it, and the chain of interests linked to it, are not at all understandable to the naïve Britney.

Even the president of the United States is a "puppet" controlled by these consortium interest groups. As a result, he had to make concessions on many things, not to mention that he was a small FBI agent, and he couldn't do anything.

"What should I—then what should I do?"

Britney had never seen Bernie so cautious, and she panicked from the inside out.

"Get some sleep with me and leave Los Angeles tomorrow."

Bernie got up from the couch and shouted into the room, "Martha, bring a blanket for my guest." ”

"You can sleep on the couch tonight...... Sorry, I only have one bed here, I don't think you will share a bed with me again, right? ”

Bernie had a rare sense of humor.

"I'd love to." Britney said silently in her heart.

Seeing the woman walk out of the room and take out a blanket, Bernie pretended not to care and left the living room, and as soon as he turned around, his previously calm face suddenly changed, and he immediately came to the door, and looked around through the cat's eye to see the movement on the street outside.

FBI agents need to go through four months of arduous training before they can officially take up their posts, and one of the most basic skills is to find out what is not harmonious and wrong in the shortest possible time in a complex environment.

This is a qualified FBI agent, and the basic ability is also the simplest, let alone Bernie, who has been in the FBI for eight years.

"Normal...... Safety ......"

With a squirm in his mouth, Bernie quickly scanned the situation around the street, slightly relaxed his nervousness, and pulled out the pistol at his waist, several thoughts in his mind changed in a thousand ways.

To be honest, after listening to Britney's story, Bernie's first thought was that it was bad, and he didn't have any urge to find out and solve the matter.

The reason is not only the point I just explained to Britney, but also the fact that Bernie's boss, the GS-15 director, is said to have a close relationship with the Frost Group, and has received a lot of help from the Frost Group. (To be continued......)
