Douglas suddenly threw his head back and laughed. "Hahahaha, looks like the general doesn't intend to trust me anymore. It's already your turn to inform me. What else do I have to say? "
"I'm not informing you. I'm just reminding you so that you can be mentally prepared. What kind of person is General Ade? You should know him better than I do, right? " Carolyn snorted softly. "You can act like this in front of me and anyone else. Do you dare to say 'no' in front of General Ade? We all know what kind of status we have. Douglas, take care of yourself. As your former colleague, this is my last piece of advice to you. "
Before Carolyn had joined the Joint Investigations Department, she had also worked in the CIA. However, her abilities were too outstanding. Two tigers could not live on the same mountain. Therefore, it was inevitable that there would be some scheming between her and Douglas. But in the end, it was Douglas who won the final victory. When Douglas obtained the leadership of the CIA, Carolyn took the initiative to quit her job in the CIA.
However, a talented person would never lack a suitable position. General Ade thought highly of her and arranged for her to be assigned to the Special Agent Command Department of the Central Division of the Federal Investigation Agency. From then on, Carolyn had displayed her incomparable leadership skills. In a short period of time, the merits of the Special Agents of the Joint Investigations Department were much higher than those of the CIA during the same period.
From then on, Douglas secretly competed with Carolyn. No matter whether it was a big or small mission, he put in all his effort. If it wasn't for the damned reward, it was for the face of the CIA! If the Joint Investigations Department took away this little bit of face, how could the CIA continue to show its face in the future?
Whether it was the CIA or the Joint Investigations Department, they all had a direct superior, General Ade, who led all the internal Special Agent Departments in the United States. Any mission they carried out was given to them by General Ade. Including this time, when the CIA dispatched the Twelve Heavenly Stars to Hua Xia to capture people, Douglas only dared to issue the order under the condition that he got General Ade's permission.
"Carolyn, I have a question for you," Douglas said. "General Ard also knows about you and Kevin Mathew, right? Why didn't you arrange for you to do this from the beginning? Why didn't you stop me from arranging for the twelve Heavenly Stars? Why did you directly use other methods to bring Kevin Mathew back to China? "
Carolyn turned around and looked at Douglas. "As the leader of the CIA, you should know what to say and what not to say, right? Douglas, don't challenge my bottom line. Don't talk about things you shouldn't talk about! "
"Are you feeling guilty? Obviously, I hit the nail on the head. You still have special feelings for Kevin Mathew, don't you? " Douglas laughed and said, "I don't understand. Could it be that General Ard didn't consider this problem before?"
"Douglas, the general naturally has his reasons for not arranging for me to go. If he arranged for me to go, he also has his reasons for arranging for me to go. It's not up to you to interrupt and guess. " Carolyn said, "You should first think about how you are going to answer to General Ade. You don't need to worry about my matters. If I can bring Kevin Mathew back, it won't be to compete with you. "
Douglas laughed and said, "Of course. You are so great. You are only doing it for the benefit of the country … Hahaha. Everyone can say such nice words! But only you don't dare to admit that you will also do it for glory! Hypocrite! Too hypocritical! "
"You can say whatever you want. Sometimes, glory doesn't mean anything." Carolyn laughed coldly. "You have enough glory, right? So what? If you fail this time, you will still be thrown into the abyss … In our line of work, we can never go down the wrong path, and we can never fail a mission. Once we fail, it means the end. Do you understand? "
Once they failed, it meant the end. Only they knew how heavy these words were.
Every time he went on a mission, the pressure in Douglas' heart would be so great that he had to rely on taking some illegal drugs to keep his mind clear. At the beginning, he only used drugs like morphine and methadone to temporarily relieve his pain through medical channels. Later on, these drugs could no longer satisfy his drug addiction, nor could they stop his pain. They could not relieve his pressure, and he would often secretly smoke some marijuana at home.
This cycle repeated itself, and recently, he even needed injections to relieve the immense pressure in his heart. Once he tried something like this for the first time, it would be very difficult to control himself from doing it a second time. The drug addiction would often torment Douglas in the middle of the night to the point that he could not bear it.
He knew very well how harmful these things were to him, and he also knew that he was walking down a path of no return. However, he could not bear this temptation, this temptation that was constantly present! Every time Douglas was extremely depressed, he would always want to use these things to fill up the emptiness and fear in his heart. Even if he knew how harmful these things were, he still could not give up.
Today, after hearing the news brought by Carolyn, Douglas felt as if a shadow had been cast over his heart. General Ad's distrust and abandonment of him was the greatest denial of his work! All this time, his contributions to the country and to the CIA, were they going to deny him just like that?
There was no room for negotiation, and it was over just like that? This wasn't the result he wanted! He still wanted to continue serving the country and work hard for the country. Why would his entire life be denied because of one failure?
Douglas really couldn't figure it out. The immense pain coming from his temples was unbearable. He quickly closed the door of the conference room and took out a small transparent pen-shaped bottle from his pocket. He frantically twisted the cap open and poured out a few small white pills. He didn't care how many there were, and swallowed them all in one go.
The numbing effect of the medicine seemed to be completely unable to quell the immense pain in Douglas' heart. He clutched his chest, and after a long silence, Douglas suddenly exploded like a crazy bear! He smashed everything in the meeting room into smithereens in one breath! The people outside heard the loud smashing sounds inside and could not help but mutter in their hearts. How much hatred did he have?!
The office over there had just been cleaned up for him, and the meeting room here was completely destroyed by him. This time, it was completely destroyed.
As Douglas vented his emotions, he thought about how he should find General Ad and what he should say when he saw him. These were the things he wanted to figure out at the moment. However, the more he smashed, the more his brain was like a pile of paste, a mess! If a bucket of ice was ruthlessly poured on him now, he would definitely sober up a little.
It was a pity that the ice bucket challenge of caring for people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis was already outdated. Now, the dung bucket challenge of caring for people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis was the most popular. He did not even have a place to find ice.
Just as Douglas was about to break down, a call came in. It was from that special mobile phone! It was a mobile phone that could only be contacted when orders were given, and only General Ad would call!
