"Take advantage of you? No, how would I dare take advantage of you? Do I have a death wish? " James calmly took his pipe out of his mouth and smiled. He flipped his hand to take out a thin envelope. "Didn't you want to find out who the 'mole' in the country is? This should be able to help you. "
Huo Shaoheng looked dubious as he took the envelope from James. He pulled out a folded piece of paper and opened it to read.
James whispered, "These are the three departments of your country. I've tried my best to narrow the scope to these three places. That person should be in one of these three departments. "
Huo Shaoheng hadn't expected this person to hide so well that even the director of the CIA's Asian Intelligence Division didn't know his or her true identity.
He looked down and saw three English names printed on an old printer. "Department of Internal Affairs, Department of Justice, Army-General-Hospital."
Huo Shaoheng's fingers tightened around the letter.
These three places had indeed caught him off guard.
The Minister of Internal Affairs, Bai Jiancheng, and the Minister of Justice, Tan Dongbang, were popular candidates for Prime Minister, but the Military General Hospital was too subtle.
Logically, the Military General Hospital had nothing to do with intelligence agencies, but because many of the people who came here for treatment were high-ranking military officers, and because the doctors from the Military General Hospital had the opportunity to visit the homes of military leaders, they had the opportunity to come into contact with many high-ranking people. Therefore, an unintentional leak could make the Military General Hospital a very good infiltration point.
Also, although Huo Shaoheng didn't have much contact with the Military General Hospital, he had a lot of contact with someone there.
This person had also been transferred from the Military General Hospital to the Special Operations Forces. He was Chen Lie.
Huo Shaoheng thought about this in his mind. Although he really wanted to eliminate the possibility that it was Chen Lie, his years of professionalism taught him to consider all kinds of possibilities and then eliminate them one by one.
He believed that Chen Lie wouldn't voluntarily leak the secret, but passively …
Did this blabbermouth know when to shut his mouth?
Huo Shaoheng flicked the letter and said calmly, "… These three departments? Isn't the scope too big? J, do you know how many people there are in these three departments? You're asking me to find a needle in a haystack. Besides, what makes you say that the Mole is in one of the three departments? "
He knew how to sow discord, and he believed that James was no stranger to it. He couldn't let him lead him by the nose.
James smiled as he took out something else and passed it to Huo Shaoheng. "Look at this and you'll believe me."
It was a newspaper clipping that contained copies of various internal CIA documents. They were all related to the Hua Xia Empire's most well-hidden "mole."
From the information provided by the "Mole", he should be from one of the three departments.
In modern society, when two countries clashed, military intelligence wasn't the only thing that mattered. Internal affairs, diplomacy, justice, and technology were all things that the other party coveted.
Moreover, the higher one's position in each department, the more confidential the information they could access would be.
Huo Shaoheng held it in his hand and skimmed through it. He compared it with some of the intelligence information he knew and found that it matched very well. He couldn't help but tighten his grip on the clipping.
"Give it back to me. I can't let you take this away." James reached out to Huo Shaoheng for the clipping.
Huo Shaoheng slowly closed it but refused to give it back. "J, this is more interesting. Otherwise, you'd really be taking advantage of me."
James couldn't do anything about his refusal. He became even more cautious and said quietly, "You have to keep this safe. If someone finds out, I won't be able to hide it anymore."
Just like the Hua Xia Empire's internal information provided by the "Mole" exposed his background, James's clipping could also expose his identity in the CIA.
To Huo Shaoheng, this was another piece of leverage. It would be strange if he gave it up …
"I know. Don't worry, you won't be exposed even if I expose myself." Huo Shaoheng smiled and casually held the clipping in his hand. He was so nonchalant. No one would have thought that this clipping would be so important.
James saw that Huo Shaoheng was much more experienced than him and sighed in relief. He put the pipe back in his mouth. "That's good. What do you plan to do?"
Huo Shaoheng flicked the ash. Seeing that the cigarette in his hand was almost burnt out, he casually pressed it into the ashtray. "I have my ways, but I'll need your help next. Send me the information when the time comes, and I'll know exactly where that person is. "
He was most worried about either Bai Jiancheng or Tan Dongbang. Both of them represented too much power. Even with General Ji's support, it would be very difficult to pull them off their positions.
Also, once they were elected, it would be even more difficult to get rid of them.
If one of them was the "Mole," then it would be a huge blow to the Hua Xia Empire's national security.
Long after James left, Huo Shaoheng was still sitting in the gazebo and thinking about his next step.
Now that the scope had been narrowed down to these three departments, he was both worried and relieved.
He was worried that that person was too powerful, and the damage to national security would be incalculable.
He was relieved that his Special Operations Forces and the military had no major connections involved.
His comrades around him hadn't betrayed him, so he had more confidence and confidence.
Tan Guiren watched Huo Shaoheng from afar for a long time. Seeing that he was sitting motionless like a statue, she didn't dare disturb him.
It wasn't until she saw that the sky outside was darkening that she couldn't help but walk over and cough softly. "Do you want some fruit?"
Huo Shaoheng snapped out of his deep thought and stood up. "No, I still have something to do. Thank you, Miss Tan."
"You don't have to call me Miss Tan. It sounds so distant. You're my savior, so you can just call me Cheryl." Tan Guiren blushed slightly and looked stunning under the sunset.
"You flatter me. That was my mission and my duty." Huo Shaoheng took a step back. "I'll be busy for a while, so I won't be here for a while. If that gentleman comes here again, tell him I have nothing to say to him and ask him not to come again. "
He had already achieved his goal of using Tan Guiren, so Huo Shaoheng didn't want to come here to see James again.
The two of them had to arrange a new time and place.
Tan Guiren was a bit disappointed. "Oh? Why? Did you guys just fight? "
"Yes. Did Miss Tan see everything?" Huo Shaoheng glanced at her silently. "Please keep this a secret, Miss Tan. No one else can know about this."
It was actually best to let others know.
Unfortunately, Tan Guiren made up her mind again. "Don't worry. I definitely won't let anyone know!"
Huo Shaoheng said, "Thank you for your understanding, Miss Tan."
Tan Guiren was no longer useful to him, so Huo Shaoheng didn't explain further.
The rest of the matter was the same whether she was involved or not.
He tapped his forehead with his hand and turned to leave.
Tan Guiren restrained herself from sending him off. She only leaned against the door and bit her lower lip lightly as she watched his gradually disappearing silhouette.
Mrs. Fen followed and smiled secretly when she saw Tan Guiren like this.
Miss Tan's heart was finally moved …
…
Huo Shaoheng returned to his rented apartment in New Jersey and rested for two days to calm his emotions.
Although he had been through a lot and very few things could shock him, the three departments that James had given him still put him in a difficult position.
It wasn't that he didn't have a way, but the Special Operations Forces' methods couldn't be used domestically. Even if there was a traitor, they couldn't act openly.
Maintaining the security of domestic organizations was originally the Secret Service's mission.
But now it seemed that the Secret Service wasn't completely united either.
Huo Shaoheng estimated that if he could successfully return this time, he would have to promote the relationship between the United States' CIA and FBI in the Hua Xia Empire.
The United States' CIA was responsible for foreign intelligence, just like the Hua Xia Empire's Special Operations Forces. However, the FBI was responsible for domestic security as well as criminal investigation and was responsible for supervising the CIA.
Conversely, the CIA also had the function of supervising the FBI.
The two monitored each other to ensure the purity of each other's teams and not be infiltrated by external forces.
But in reality, the United States' CIA was infiltrated like a sieve by external forces.
However, they believed that "offense is the best defense." So although there were often "moles" inside, as long as they repeatedly caused trouble abroad, the internal "moles" were almost negligible.
It was only in the Hua Xia Empire that they hadn't been able to cause trouble for so many years. They could only rely on the "moles" deep inside the Hua Xia Empire to pass on information for them.
The two agencies, the Special Operations Forces and the Secret Service, were bound to monitor each other in the future.
Huo Shaoheng hung the towel around his neck and went to the apartment's gym.
He always appeared here in disguise, such as a hooked nose and black-rimmed glasses. It was very easy to change a person's appearance.
He was also good at disguise, so even if someone familiar saw him, it would take a while to recognize him.
After sweating in the gym for an hour, he went to the pool to swim.
Maintaining high-intensity training every day was his habit, and it was a very good habit.
After sweating all over, he felt that his mind was much clearer.
A person had to be very careful and meticulous to formulate a detailed plan to find the "moles" who betrayed him.
Fortunately, with James as his inside man, the difficulty of this "cat and mouse" game was greatly reduced.
Huo Shaoheng came out of the apartment's bathroom and had already thought of a plan.
The next day, he drove to the east, west, and north of New York City and found the cheapest and most inconspicuous apartment buildings. He used cash to rent an apartment with one bedroom and one living room for half a year.
