Although the TV didn't broadcast a clear image of him, the CIA definitely had internal videos.
Huo Shaoheng thought about it and threw away his blue contact lenses. At the same time, he took off his aquiline nose.
Looking at his original appearance in the mirror, Huo Shaoheng felt a bit unfamiliar.
Without the blue contact lenses, Huo Shaoheng changed into a pair of large, black-framed glasses.
With these glasses on, other than Gu Nianzhi, even his parents probably wouldn't be able to recognize him at first glance.
Huo Shaoheng smiled darkly at the mirror.
Although his actions today were a bit risky, he had to make a risky move to break the stalemate and confuse the mastermind.
Looking at his watch, it was already 9pm. It should be 9am in the Hua Xia Empire, so Nianzhi should be up by now, right?
Huo Shaoheng silently took off his black-framed glasses and put them back into the glasses case. Rubbing his phone, he realized he actually had the urge to call Nianzhi.
But his years of training quickly made him give up on the idea. In the end, he turned off his phone and went to sleep.
In the next few days, Huo Shaoheng often wore a classic Ralph Lauren blue and black striped shirt, straight fine wool trousers, and a pair of comfortable Oxford shoes. He dressed like a yuppie and was completely different from the nimble and fierce figure on TV.
The people in his apartment building were also talking about the "hero" who saved people, but no one connected the yuppie with the black-framed glasses and the "hero."
Taking advantage of not going out for a few days, Huo Shaoheng used a proxy IP to log into the European Hermes official website. Finally, he used a French shipping address to purchase some Hermes scarves and sent them directly to Gu Nianzhi's Sanhuan apartment in the Imperial Capital.
What he didn't know was that the Hermes official website suddenly malfunctioned that day. The French shipping address he filled in was somehow changed to a German shipping address, and it was a German place that the Huaxia Empire citizens were recently familiar with.
…
It was summer break, and Ma Qiqi found a law firm to intern at. She left early and returned late every day, and was often the only one left in the dorm.
That day, she had nothing to do after waking up. She didn't want to go to the library to research and write a thesis, so she stayed in the dorm to play games.
After playing all morning, her neck was sore. Rubbing the back of her neck, she got up to wash up and prepare to go out for lunch.
Looking at her watch, it was almost lunchtime.
Suddenly, the voice of the resident manager came through the dorm speakers. "Gu Nianzhi! There's a package! "
Gu Nianzhi was very surprised. Who would send her a package?
She casually tied her long hair into a ponytail, took the dormitory key and went downstairs.
A UPS truck was parked in front of the dorm building, and a delivery man handed her a small cardboard box. "Gu Nianzhi?"
"Yes, that's me." Gu Nianzhi showed him her ID, then signed it and took the small paper box.
She flipped the box around for a long time and saw that it was from Germany. The address looked familiar.
The box felt light in his hand and was tightly sealed. He had no idea what was inside.
Gu Nianzhi returned to her dorm and placed the box on her desk. She stared at it silently for a while before putting on gloves and using a paper cutter to cut the tape on the box.
She tore open the packaging and revealed the familiar orange-red Hermès packaging inside the carton!
Hermes scarves!
It was from Germany …
Gu Nianzhi's heart was pounding.
Her first reaction was that Huo Shao had sent it to her!
Only Huo Shao liked to buy her Hermes scarves for her birthday!
Although her birthday was still two or three months away, it didn't stop Huo Shao from planning ahead and preparing for everything.
Was Huo Shao using this method to make her feel at ease?
Although he couldn't tell her where he went or what he was doing, a scarf mailed from afar could subtly tell her that he was doing well.
Gu Nianzhi hugged her silk scarf as she sat in front of her desk. Her heart was warm, like a traveler who had finally found a warm fire after trekking through a world of ice and snow. She wanted nothing more than to throw herself into the fire, even if it burned her to ashes.
So Huo Shao was in Germany?
Gu Nianzhi took the box and carefully looked at the address on it. She entered the address into the computer and finally found the place.
When she saw the German city that Huaxia Empire citizens had recently heard of, Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but widen her eyes. She suddenly felt like all her doubts had been answered.
Huo Shao must have gone to Germany, right?
Because of the murder of the Huaxia female exchange student in Germany.
Calculating the time, Huo Shao had left the country for a mission not long after the crime happened and people in the Huaxia Empire didn't know about it yet.
One of the important duties of the Special Operations Forces was to protect the interests of the Huaxia Empire overseas.
It seemed like this case was unusual …
Gu Nianzhi looked at the series of searches related to the case on the computer thoughtfully. Her hands began to itch.
…
Of course, Huo Shao didn't know about the "blunder" that appeared on Hermes' official website.
He stayed in his apartment for a few days and didn't go out. He relied on the internet to communicate with the outside world.
The CIA was wandering around like headless chickens. The search seemed to be gradually expanding from New York to the surrounding areas.
Huo Shaoheng changed his clothes and disguised himself as a Huaxia IT man. He carried a backpack and wore flat shoes before heading to New York again.
This time, he didn't go to Fifth Avenue. Instead, he went around Fifth Avenue and strolled outside the CIA's New York branch.
The CIA couldn't believe that the person they had set up an inescapable net to search all over New York was right under their noses.
The most dangerous place was also the safest place.
This maxim was also applicable in the United States.
The streets near the CIA branch were very quiet and peaceful. There weren't as many cameras or police cars roaring around.
Everyone had a warm smile on their faces, wearing short-sleeved T-shirts or dresses, walking under the summer sun.
Huo Shaoheng even sat in the outdoor cafe on the first floor of the building next to the CIA branch to leisurely drink coffee and play games on his phone.
A middle-aged Caucasian man with a bitter expression walked out of the main entrance of the CIA base. He came to the cafe and ordered a cup of black coffee with double sugar and double milk. He sat down not far from Huo Shaoheng.
The two of them sat back to back. Huo Shaoheng quietly took a sip of his coffee. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a few more CIA agents sitting next to the middle-aged man. They were gathered together, holding a healthy lunch they had bought from Chipotle. Everyone had a cup of coffee in front of them, and they were eating and complaining at the same time.
"James, you're just going to watch that kid ride roughshod over us?! There are so many people in our branch. Why did you have to promote him?! "
"Exactly! You're the soul of our branch! We all respect you! I get angry when I see that kid's smug face! "
"He's ordering you around like a servant every day. We can't stand it anymore!"
These people were filled with righteous indignation for the middle-aged man who had a bitter expression on his face. Moreover, they all looked sincere and sincere. They really weren't just saying that.
Huo Shaoheng's ears perked up and gathered the information he needed from their words.
Huo Shaoheng was no stranger to the bitter middle-aged man's appearance.
This was James, an important figure in the CIA's Asian Intelligence Division. He was one of Huo Shaoheng's main rivals.
But from what these people were saying, it seemed like he had failed to get promoted?
Huo Shaoheng rubbed his chin in thought as he carefully recalled the information on James.
This man was a retired US Army soldier who had served in Asia for many years. He later returned to the United States and was recruited by the CIA because of his outstanding intelligence skills. He was in charge of the Asian Intelligence Division.
This person had dealt a major blow to the Hua Xia Empire's intelligence network in North America. Bai Yusheng's defection last year was inextricably linked to this person.
James was almost 50 years old. He married late and had two children. One was about to go to college, while the other was just in high school. His wife was a housewife.
He hadn't expected such a smart and capable person to be overshadowed by another person.
Who was this person?
Huo Shaoheng realized he actually knew nothing about this new director they were talking about.
However, he was very sure that this new director had just been parachuted into the CIA's Asian Intelligence Division. He hadn't been there for more than a month.
Because he hadn't had any contact with the Hua Xia Empire in the past month, he hadn't paid attention to the intelligence network.
Huo Shaoheng shook the newspaper in his hand to cover his face.
However, there were too many people like him sitting there reading newspapers, playing with their phones, and drinking coffee. They were all white-collar employees of the nearby buildings. His appearance completely blended in here, like a drop of water blending into the ocean. Even the smartest spy didn't notice him.
In fact, Sean had also come to this cafe.
He was already a little unhappy when he saw a few older people from his division surrounding James.
He walked over with a straight face and said sternly, "Lunch is only half an hour. You've already been out for an hour."
Those people quickly stood up and hurriedly cleared the table before hurrying back to work.
James was the last to stand up and said to the angry Sean, "Sir, I'm not feeling well. I want to take half a day off and go home to rest."
"Not feeling well? Do you have a doctor's certificate? "Sean asked sharply." How can I trust you without a doctor's certificate? "
"Sir, according to CIA regulations, a doctor's certificate is required to take more than two days off. I'm only taking half a day off, so I don't need a doctor's certificate." James finished speaking slowly and got up to leave the cafe.
Sean looked at his receding figure and clenched his fists angrily, but there was nothing he could do.
Huo Shaoheng waited for Sean to leave before slowly standing up and following in the direction James had left.
