James didn't know what was wrong with him. Perhaps it was because his colleague's words made him feel even more indignant, or perhaps it was because the weather was too hot, but he was very agitated. For the first time ever, he argued with Sean a few times and almost quit.
However, his rational mind told him not to quit too impulsively, so he only took half a day off to go to the beach to relax before coming back to do these increasingly unfulfilling jobs.
Last year, Bai Yusheng, the Deputy Director of the Hua Xia Imperial Secret Service who had defected, had been killed. The agency considered his merits to offset his faults, so he was originally going to be promoted to director, but just like that, Sean, who had parachuted in from outside, became director.
He wasn't happy. Although he didn't say it, he knew he wasn't happy in his heart.
He walked aimlessly on the street and didn't know how many blocks he had walked. After another turn, he would be at the beach.
James suddenly realized that the back of someone not far in front of him looked very familiar …
It was a tall man dressed casually in a simple white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, khaki trousers, white Oxford shoes, and black hair. When he turned his head, he could see that the man was wearing a pair of sunglasses that covered most of his face.
It was a very ordinary outfit, but there was something unusual about it.
James's eyes narrowed.
2”
Years of intelligence work had trained him to have sharp instincts.
Although he wasn't as good as Sean in some areas, his age and experience were there for all to see. High IQ couldn't make up for that.
Experience and experience required time. The only thing he had more than Sean was that he had lived a few more years.
But that wasn't something to be happy about.
James felt dispirited just thinking about it.
However, he still followed with great professionalism.
He was the Deputy Director of the CIA's Asian Intelligence Division. This was his job, and he had to do it.
…
Huo Shaoheng walked leisurely in front and looked around the place.
He had purposely exposed himself in front of James in order to beat him at his own game and catch the mole hidden within the Hua Xia Empire.
In order to find the "mole" the CIA had planted in the Hua Xia Empire, Huo Shaoheng had thought about it for a long time. In the end, he decided to give them a taste of their own medicine and use the "mole" against the "mole" to find the person.
After careful observation and consideration, Huo Shaoheng felt that James was a good "mole" candidate.
Even though James had the same idea.
Just like that, the two people with "ulterior motives" unknowingly approached each other.
The place they came to was a villa area in Long Island, New York. The people there were either rich or respectable. There were many leisure places in the seaside park, which was a good place for people to cool off in the summer.
Huo Shaoheng first sat down in a pavilion by the sea.
The pavilions here were all modeled after the Hawaiian grass huts, which indeed had a unique flavor.
When James walked over, he habitually looked around to make sure there were no other ambushes before he slowly walked over and sat down on the other side of the pavilion.
The two of them looked at the sea quietly for a while. James greeted him with a smile. "May I ask where you are from, sir? He looks very familiar … "
Huo Shaoheng looked shocked. "No way? I've never known you before. Why do you think I look familiar? "
"Hehe, maybe people look alike …" James grinned. "A few days ago, there was a kidnapping case here. Have you seen the news?"
"Do people still watch TV these days?" Huo Shaoheng also laughed. "I only surf the internet. I'm not interested in TV."
"Oh, there's a video online too. Didn't you watch it?" James took out his phone and secretly wanted to take a photo of Huo Shaoheng. Huo Shaoheng seemed to turn around unconsciously, leaving only a view of his back for James.
James didn't manage to take a photo, and Huo Shaoheng had already turned to look at his phone.
James could only give up on the idea and show Huo Shaoheng the video.
Huo Shaoheng rubbed his chin and watched it calmly. He smiled. "Not bad. It's quite interesting."
"Not only is it interesting, but it's also valuable," James said meaningfully. James said meaningfully, "Actually, I think this person is very impressive and powerful. If he were to work for us in our country, his value would be even greater …"
Huo Shaoheng's heart sank. He didn't expect James to want to instigate him?
He really underestimated the loyalty of these CIA agents to the country …
But so what?
He still didn't know who would win …
Huo Shaoheng crossed his arms and stood up. He looked down at James and said slowly, "Really? Does that mean that your value has been maximized? "
James' expression changed instantly. He glared at Huo Shaoheng for a long time before the corners of his mouth twitched. "I don't understand what you mean. I'm talking about your value, not mine."
"Yes, I know. My English isn't worse than yours." Huo Shaoheng's English was authentic with an Oxford accent. It was very different from James' southern American accent. It was like a British aristocrat standing in front of a southern American farmer, arrogant with a hint of modesty, polite yet distant.
James finally recovered and smiled sheepishly. "Then do you want to think about it? You see, I'm very sincere in talking to you. "
Huo Shaoheng also smiled and said, "I'm more sincere. Mr. James, are you sure you want to do this and then have this great achievement be used as a stepping stone to climb up? "
This sentence hit the deepest part of James's heart where he was most unwilling.
As long as he was unwilling, he wanted to change.
Huo Shaoheng had accurately seen James's unwillingness to admit defeat.
James hesitated.
Just like last time, he had painstakingly instigated the Hua Xia Empire's Deputy Director of the Secret Service, Bai Yusheng. What did he get in return? — Not even a fart!
This time, he might have made an even greater contribution, but with Sean above him, this contribution had nothing to do with him!
In the end, it would still be taken away by that annoying Sean, and it would be his own contribution!
Sean had just arrived at the Asian Intelligence Division and was trying his best to make a contribution. If he really instigated the Hua Xia Empire's most mysterious major general to defect, then he would only be working hard for Sean …
Huo Shaoheng narrowed his eyes and studied James's expression. Although he was expressionless, Huo Shaoheng could almost tell what he was thinking.
A man almost 50 years old and almost at the end of his career. What was he after?
Huo Shaoheng continued to "patiently guide" James like a demon who could read people's minds. "But if you cooperate with me, not only can I help you get rid of your biggest obstacle in your division, but I can also help you get the position you want the most. Believe me, your value will be much, much greater than you can imagine right now!"

Just a reminder, recommendation votes and monthly votes!
PS: I'm not giving Huo Shaoheng a golden finger for this plot. James had a prototype. He was the director of a certain CIA intelligence division in the United States. He had once tried to instigate personnel from another country, but in the end, he was instigated by the other party and became their informant 2333333. This person was later discovered by the FBI and sentenced to permanent imprisonment. He was still serving his sentence. This is what happened in 199X.
