Henry's heart was beating faster. His throat kept moving, and he kept swallowing his saliva.
As a young man who had been working for three years, Henry was still renting a house in Paris. Almost all of his monthly income was spent on food and shelter. He had only a few dollars in savings after graduating from college.
Others said that the French were so chic and romantic, but they didn't know that behind these romances were faces that had been through the vicissitudes of life.
Henry was from a small village in southern France. He was admitted to the University of Paris during the college entrance examination. After finishing college and studying for a master's degree, Henry was admitted to the National Security Agency with his own ability.
He thought that working in a national government unit would have a higher salary, at least it would be stable, but Henry was wrong. The salary in the Security Agency was pitifully low, and there was no house assigned.
Henry had been here for three years, and he was almost 30 years old this year. He hadn't bought the first house in his life, and his car was still a cheap Volkswagen.
His superior, Stephen, drove a Mercedes-Benz every day, but he drove a Polo. In the eyes of his colleagues, he was simply a joke.
Suddenly, ten million euros appeared in front of him. Henry's heart was about to jump out. He had never been so excited.
With ten million, he would be able to buy the super sports car of his dreams. He would be able to sleep with the girls he wanted. He would no longer have to live in that doghouse of his. With money, he could buy a big villa by the sea. He could hide at home and play games all day long. Then, he could go wherever he wanted to play!
Henry was already imagining the time when he became a multimillionaire. Famous cars, beautiful women, a mansion, and traveling around the world. Henry had thought of everything he could think of in a short time.
But soon, Henry's mind became clear again. As a person who worked in the Security Agency, Henry was very clear about the ability of the Security Agency. If he really took this money today, he would be sent to the prison in Paris tomorrow.
Henry was not stupid. He was very young, and there was still a long way to go. If he really let go of this important person in front of him, he would definitely spend the rest of his life in prison.
"I'm sorry, I'm a very honest person. You'd better stay here!"
Henry shook his head and walked out. Jiang Cheng looked at Henry's back and was stunned. He really didn't expect that someone would not be tempted by 10 million euros. It seemed that this young man was a sensible person and not so easy to fool.
If this happened in China, Jiang Cheng could guarantee that he would have gone out to have tea with someone at this time, instead of sitting here with his hands and feet cuffed tightly, with nowhere to go.
Henry let the SWAT officer close the door and let out a long sigh of relief. When he closed the door just now, Henry felt that the door in his heart was also closed.
He knew that he would still be mediocre for the rest of his life. He could only go on like this, and he would never have a chance to make a name for himself in the future.
Henry returned to his desk listlessly. He picked up his mobile phone and began to surf the Internet. The Internet was full of advertisements for money and various luxury goods, which made Henry's heart itch.
But everything was just a fantasy. Henry knew what kind of material he was. He was not made to be a secret agent. If he really took Jiang Cheng's money, he would be caught before he could escape from France. At that time, he would be thrown into prison, and his life would be over.
At this time, in an old-fashioned cafe in Paris, Stephen and Jones had already met. They shook hands and sat down as if they had been old friends for many years.
"Stephen, you're really capable this time. You even caught a person like Jiang Cheng. I, Jones, have not admired many people in my life, but you are one of them. But seriously, I'm telling you now, what do you think of my conditions? Transfer Jiang Cheng to me, and I'll give you one million and help you do something. How about that? "
Stephen smiled and gently took a sip of his coffee. He smiled and said, "Jones, do you think I'm as old as you? I believe I don't need to say more about this person's value. You know, he's a big fish. To tell you the truth, before you called, I had already received calls from the Japanese and the Koreans. The North Koreans also seem to be very interested. The price they offered is much more generous than yours! "
Jones's face suddenly changed. He did not expect that the Koreans and the Japanese would get it first. Jiang Cheng was the enemy of the U.S. government. He had made a mess in Washington and New York. Now, a yellow-skinned monkey wanted to steal his achievements. This was simply unbearable.
"Stephen, just name your price. I'll see if I can agree. If I can, I'll agree to it!"
"Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony. I want this number, plus your island in the south. By the way, I want a person in your hands!"
"Who?"
"Eben!"
Eben! Hearing this name, Jones's face changed. He did not expect Stephen to be interested in this person.
Everyone in the industry knew what this guy did. This guy was a devil, a complete devil. Eben was the seventh person in the ISIS organization. His favorite pastime was killing people and raping women. In the Middle East, the crimes he committed could not even be described as monstrous.
However, when people did too many bad things, there would always be a time when they would be unlucky. During a cleaning operation, the SEALs suddenly hit the jackpot. They found a heavily injured Eben in a ruin. After repeated confirmations, the assault team leader finally confirmed Eben's identity.
This was a big fish. At that time, the entire commando team was extremely happy. They didn't expect to pick up such a big fish during a simple clean-up operation. It was really shocking.
After Eben was escorted back to the base, he was quickly sent to the United States. He was imprisoned in a very underground prison. He was the treasure of the Americans. Many secrets of ISIS were extracted from this guy.
Originally, this information was top secret, and outsiders didn't even know about it. Even in the CIA, only a few high-ranking officials knew about these secrets. As an important leader of the European branch, Jones naturally had the right to know this information.
However, today, Stephen's words shocked him. He did not expect Stephen to have such a sharp nose. He did not know where he got the news that Eben was in the hands of the CIA.
Jones shook his head and said, "Stephen, are you kidding me? Who is Eben? He's a mysterious guy. How could he be in our hands? I'm sorry, I really can't do this! "
Stephen laughed and said, "Jones, don't you know who Jiang Cheng is? He's such a difficult character, but now he is in my hands. Why? I think it's worth it to exchange Eben for him. You know, the French and the Chinese don't have any deep grudges. Besides, our countries have a good relationship. The relationship between China and France is very different from the relationship between China and the United States.
Jiang Cheng is useless to me, but Eben is very useful to me. Remember the big explosion in Paris? Remember the shooting? Now we can't solve the case. Eben was the mastermind of these two incidents. Now that I have Jiang Cheng and you have Eben, you can totally exchange with me. We both get what we need! "
Jones' face changed. He did not expect Stephen to be so cunning. He did not expect him to be so greedy. But in Old Jones' eyes, he did not see it that way.
Jiang Cheng was alone, and so was Eben. Stephen wanted Eben, but he still asked for money. Moreover, it was a huge sum of five million. It was impossible for him to pay that much money, so he could only apply to the Director.
Five million Euros was not a small sum. The Director would definitely not approve it. If it was one million, it would be easy to settle. The Director would approve it. Five million, needless to say, the Director would definitely not agree!
The more Jones thought about it, the angrier he got. If he wanted Jiang Cheng, he might be scolded by the Director. If he didn't want Jiang Cheng, he would pretend that nothing had happened.
If he didn't handle Jiang Cheng's matter well, the Director might blame him. When he retired, he might not have a good life.
If he handled Jiang Cheng's matter well, he would be able to retire smoothly. If he didn't handle Jiang Cheng's matter well, he would be finished. He might be scolded by the Director, and he might even have to bear the responsibility. He might even be demoted. When he retired, his position would be lower. What would he do when he was old?
After thinking about it, Old Jones felt that it was better not to have any changes to this matter. At least, his retirement should not be affected.
"Stephen, it seems that you are not sincere. I don't think we can talk about it anymore. Goodbye!"
Old Jones picked up his coat and walked out. Stephen did not stop him. Watching him walk out of the coffee shop step by step, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. Stephen thought to himself, "Old thing, I promise you'll come back and talk to me again in less than ten steps!"
However, after ten steps, Old Jones did not look back. After twenty steps, Old Jones was still very determined. After a hundred steps, Old Jones's back was long gone. At this time, Stephen's face changed.
At this time, Stephen's expression changed. He gritted his teeth and said, "F * ck, old thing, you're really patient. How dare you keep me in suspense? Fine, I won't fall for your trick. I'll go back and release that kid right now!"
Stephen drove back to the Security Bureau angrily. He went down to the basement and saw his assistant, Henry, playing with his mobile phone.
