Just as he was participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, a clandestine intelligence transaction was also taking place in a cafe on Coro Island.
A Caucasian woman wearing a sunhat and sunglasses, dressed like a tourist, was sitting by the window of the cafe. She looked at the watch on her wrist from time to time. The hour hand coincided with three. At the same time, a taxi stopped in front of the cafe. Li Jinyan got out of the car and sat across from her. He ordered a strawberry milkshake from the waiter.
Li Jinyan took the cold drink from the waiter's hand and gave a charming smile to the woman sitting across from him.
"Do you know why I ordered a strawberry milkshake?"
"Why?"
"Because it's like you."
"Where is it?"
"In the bag … You're still as cold as ever." Li Jinyan made a helpless expression and gently pushed the ring box with the USB in front of her.
"Oh? You did it with that girl for more than two hours, and you still have the energy to think about that? "The Caucasian woman raised an eyebrow and mocked.
"It's not difficult to sleep with that chick. You know, I like challenging difficult missions." Li Jinyan waved his hand and said heartlessly.
"The first one doesn't work on me, but the second one is okay. I like straightforward men. If you come back alive, maybe I'll consider rewarding you. "The Caucasian woman pursed her seductive red lips.
"Haha, I'm looking forward to it. Go back, wash up, and wait for me." Li Jinyan mocked.
"Don't be too careless. Xin recently established a security department." The eyes behind the sunglasses scanned the surroundings as the Caucasian woman said emotionlessly.
"Knock it off, Kelly. That stuff is even available in Mexico, but who cares? "Li Jinyan waved his hand.
"I heard that their newly established special intelligence department is called Ghost Agents."
Li Jinyan snorted and sucked the strawberry jam from the milkshake with a straw.
"I know you don't believe me. I'm just stating the truth." Kelly shrugged and stuffed the ring box into her purse. She stood up with a smile. "Thank you for the ring. I'll take my leave now. Good luck."
After that, Kylie walked towards the door.
Li Jinyan licked his dry lips as he stared at the graceful back of the woman. Although he had just vented the bullets in the Hua girl's body, he still felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen.
Although he had slept with a lot of people due to "work requirements", he had been drooling over this female superior for a long time.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Li Jinyan finished the milkshake in his cup, got up, and left the cold drink shop. He hailed a taxi and got in.
"To the port."
"Yes, sir." The driver skillfully started the car.
The taxi drove steadily. Li Jinyan leaned against the back seat, pulled his collar, and took out his phone.
Just as he was about to send a text to Sophie, he suddenly froze as he stared at the phone screen.
No signal?
A sense of alarm rose in his heart. His many years of experience in espionage made him realize that something was wrong in the first place. But just as he was about to ask the driver to stop, the iron shutters suddenly closed around him, locking him in the back seat of the car.
Then, a faint aroma floated past the tip of his nose. Li Jinyan cursed in his mind, but his consciousness gradually drifted away from his body …
When he woke up again, he found himself in a room without windows. His hands were tied to the back of the chair. He symbolically struggled for a bit, but he quickly gave up.
Two soldiers with rifles stood at the door of the room. He didn't think he had the ability to escape.
Sitting in front of him was a young Caucasian woman.
Ghost Agent?
The word inexplicably emerged in Li Jinyan's mind.
Faced with the expressionless face, he pretended to look around in panic. Then he nervously glanced at the rifle in the hands of the soldiers at the door, then he looked at the woman in front of him with fear.
"What happened? Who are you? Why are you arresting me! I, I am a foreign employee who legally entered the country, I have a visa! You have no right to do this … "
Ignoring his performance, the woman sitting in front of him flipped open the notebook in her hand.
"Li Jinyan, male, 27 years old, Korean American, salesman of Kadar Mining Company …"
"That's right! I- "
She slammed the book shut and looked at him with a blank expression.
"I don't plan on interrogating you, so you can put away your prepared excuse."
Then, she picked up a pocket syringe from the tray on the table and walked to him.
Looking at the approaching figure and the liquid dripping from the tip of the needle, Li Jinyan felt a sense of panic. He had undergone anti-drug training, and logically speaking, this kind of low-end interrogation method should be ineffective against an experienced agent like him.
In theory, yes.
But this truth-telling serum came from the 22nd century.
…
Li Jinyan confessed everything, including the color of his underwear, which plastic surgery hospital he performed at, the organization he served, and the client who paid the commission.
The night outside the window gradually darkened.
Looking at the confession in his hand, Jiang Chen's fingers gently tapped on the desk as he fell into deep thought.
Leilian Private Detective Company. There were many similar companies in the UA. But they didn't register for a formal business license, and their main business wasn't to investigate affairs and scandals. Instead, they were mercenaries that provided commercial espionage services to clients in need.
But that was not the point. The point was that they were hired by BHP Mining Group. But not long ago, Jiang Chen and Luke signed a contract for 50 million tons of ore at a low price. Logically speaking, the two parties should be in a cooperative relationship. But now that something like this happened, it was intriguing.
But now, he finally understood why Luke was so familiar with Future Mining. The commercial espionage hired by BHP had been lurking in Xin for a long time.
Ayesha pushed open the door and placed a cup of steaming coffee in front of Jiang Chen. She leaned over and gently kissed his forehead.
"Don't be too late."
"Mhmm, go to sleep first. I'll be done in a bit." Jiang Chen smiled at her.
Ayesha blinked and responded with her eyes.
When she left, she closed the door for him.
Jiang Chen watched the rising white mist as his fingers gently tapped on the table and fell into deep thought.
Li Jinyan's testimony already constituted commercial espionage. Even if they sued BHP in any country, Future Mining was confident they could win. But even if they won, the fine wouldn't hurt BHP at all. Since the information they stole was only undisclosed production data and not production technology related documents. At most, they would be fined one or two million USD.
But if they broke off their relationship with BHP, then the 50 million ton supply contract would be gone. Although it was possible to mine on their own, it would be wasteful to use deep sea mining technology to mine low-priced ores such as iron and aluminum. The 50 million tons of ore was of great use to Jiang Chen. Where else could he find such a "generous" seller?
But if he didn't do something, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't do worse next time.
Unless …
Kill the chicken to warn the monkey!
His fingers stopped on the table. In an instant, a murderous intent flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.
