"Good employee?" Lu Li smiled noncommittally and shook his head. "I'm sorry, but you and I may not have the same definition of a good employee. In my eyes, responsibility, ability, and self-motivation are not the most important, the most important thing is loyalty. If a person is not loyal enough, he may be bought by the enemy, and his ability, responsibility, and self-motivation will all become a huge threat, not a help. ”

"Hehe, boss, in the current materialistic era, loyalty has long ceased to be a virtue, but has become a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits.

I don't deny that there are still very few people in the world who are willing to give everything, including their lives, for the object of their allegiance, but most people still prefer to wait for the other party to offer a suitable price and then switch sides directly.

In case you don't know, I worked for the CIA for a long time before the DHS was created.

I have witnessed many examples of betraying one's country, friends, colleagues, and even relatives for profit.

Some of them are from foreign intelligence agencies, such as our old enemy Russia, but many more are Americans, or more CIA-trained spies.

There is no doubt that these spies are Americans, born and raised in the United States, and who have also vowed to give themselves to the country.

Of course, I don't doubt at all that they were sincere when they swore it, but what was the result?

Over time, more than half of the population will slowly be eroded by various temptations.

Money, women, feelings, power, and the resentment that has accumulated in your heart......

I can tell you responsibly that there are very few CIA agents stationed abroad who do not secretly resell intelligence, and nearly one-fifth of them maintain unclear contact with our enemies.

It is not known whether they deliberately released smoke bombs to steal information, whether they have actually defected, or whether they have become double agents.

In fact, the CIA did not care whether they had already turned on the enemy, and even took advantage of these connections to obtain much-needed intelligence.

In my opinion, the shelf life of such a thing as loyalty is very short, so short that it simply does not stand the test of time......"

Obviously, Bruce's work has given him a deep understanding of the dark side of human nature, so he doesn't believe in so-called loyalty, preferring to believe in his own means.

Lu Li had heard that betrayals in the espionage industry were as frequent as eating and drinking, so he didn't try to refute them, but teased in a half-joking tone: "Dear Bruce, tell me, how many betrayals have you experienced to have such a dark heart?"

"Hahahaha! There are so many that I can't remember how many times. Bruce laughed and spread his hands.

"Okay, let's get down to business, now tell me, what did you all find tonight?" Lu Li asked without looking back, taking a sip of soda.

Bruce turned to the only woman in the office and said, "Vera, show the boss the picture you took, I'm sure he'll be very happy with the results of our work tonight." ”

"No problem, wait a minute...... Vera said as she pulled out a high-powered digital camera from her pocket, lowered her head and dummed it twice, and then handed it over.

I saw that there were at least 30 photos taken densely on the flip screen, the first 20 photos showed a white man in his forties, and the rest were relatively messy.

Just when Lu Li frowned and tried to find some connection from these photos, he was suddenly surprised to find that the last four photos actually had three people he knew, one was a female knight in black who had a relationship, and the other two were Emily and the handsome young man sitting opposite him.

In order to figure out what was going on, he immediately questioned, "Can any of you explain to me who these people are in the photo?"

"Willing to help!" Bruce put down his glass and came closer, pointing to the first photo, "This forty-year-old white man is the person who has been following you in the car, and behind him are the places he has been to and the people he has come into contact with today." Especially the woman in the black leather coat, the two hid back to back in the blind corner of the restaurant's monitor, and talked quietly for a full fifteen minutes. And this rather handsome young man, as if he was deliberately approaching your girlfriend's best friend. I suspect they are weaving a huge web around you. ”

"Are they coming at me?" the corners of Lu Li's mouth curled slightly, and a sneer appeared that was not easy to detect.

"If nothing else, it should be. I noticed that you seem to have taken a few more glances at the woman in the leather suit, have you seen it somewhere?" Bruce was worthy of being an old fritter who had been engaged in intelligence work for many years, and instantly noticed the subtle change in the expression on his boss's face.

Lu Li nodded lightly and explained, "Not only did she know it, but she also helped me beat away a group of thugs who blocked the road and robbed. If I'm not mistaken, this must have been designed in advance, right?"

"Ha! Heroes save beauty? No, no, it should be a beautiful woman saving a hero? God! These guys really dare to think and dare to do things, and it's a waste not to go to Hollywood to be a screenwriter. Vera pouted and complained.

"But you have to admit that the more old-fashioned the plot, the easier it is to have unexpected effects, at least our boss already has a pretty good impression of that woman, if it continues to develop, maybe they will be able to do it. Bruce raised his right index finger and reminded seriously.

"Interesting, I didn't expect them to go to great lengths to get close to me. Let's talk about it, how should we deal with this situation now?" Lu Li subconsciously touched the stubble on his chin.

If he had followed the conservative thinking he had in the past, he would 100 percent choose to kill people and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, but after experiencing so many things recently, he found that sometimes killing people does not solve the problem, but is easy to complicate the originally simple contradictions.

Bruce hesitated for a moment, then quickly suggested, "Two points! First of all, we need to keep these guys on a twenty-four-hour monitor to find out who they have been in contact with during the week and which country's intelligence agencies they are working for. It would take a few professionals, and Vera and I wouldn't be able to do it alone. Secondly, I personally think we'd better give the FBI some wind and see what they have there. ”

"Yes! I'll give you $200,000 privately, and I'll get a full and thorough answer in a week. Lu Li didn't think about it, he directly took out the checkbook and signed a check for $200,000.

"Don't worry, boss, I swear I'll give you an account 100% in a week. Bruce took the check and assured with a serious face......
