I felt surreal when I heard the director of China's National Security Agency explain the CIA's plan.
But there are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests. In order to prevent terrorists from getting their hands on BWK, China and America planned to put on a show for Ai ShuQiao and then capture her when she wasn't paying attention.
First, China and America still had to pretend to be hostile towards each other on the BWK issue. 004 and 005 would be charged with espionage, then they would pretend to be imprisoned, but in reality, they would be acting in secret.
Then, China and the United States would mobilize their various third-party forces outside of China to gradually dismantle the commercial organizations and military organizations related to Ai ShuQiao. The reason why they had to act outside of China and the United States first was to avoid alerting the enemy as much as possible.
Once everything went smoothly, the US would summon Ai ShuQiao based on the past. The most likely crime would be Ai ShuQiao poisoning Ai Mi's grandfather.
"Why this?" I was surprised, "As far as I know, didn't John's police friend already destroy the evidence of the tomato soup?"
I'm not sure if he was coerced or bribed by Ai ShuQiao, but John's police friend left a recorded message saying 'I'm sorry' after he destroyed the evidence and disappeared. It was quite a blow to John.
"Evidence isn't a problem when it comes to national interests." Director Jiang's eyes flashed with a hint of craftiness, "After Ai ShuQiao is summoned to court, the CIA will naturally prepare a bowl of tomato soup …"
Damn, is it faking it? Although Ai ShuQiao was the culprit, it's quite ironic to use fake evidence to accuse her!
"You don't have to worry about witnesses." Director Jiang continued, "John's police friend was already found to be hiding in Thailand. For the sake of his family's safety, he will definitely testify in court and prove that the tomato soup is the real deal …"
Okay, after Ai ShuQiao threatened his family, the US government threatened his family's life, how unlucky!
"When the time comes, the US government will ask John to file a complaint and try not to let the CIA's shadow appear in this case. This way, Ai ShuQiao will probably have to divert her energy to the legal team and the lawsuit. China and the US can take this opportunity to close the net …"
It seemed like a good idea, but I could tell something was wrong.
"You already know Ai Mi is involved, right? Then will Ai Mi appear in court during the witness call? "
I was a bit emotional when I brought it up. Director Jiang quickly reached out a hand to calm me down.
"Ye Lin, I know you're thinking about your sister. John also requested the CIA not to let his daughter appear in court. We will try our best to do it. After all, this play requires your full cooperation. "
The so-called "full cooperation" was actually for me to do as many amusing things as possible in order to divert Ai ShuQiao's attention. It would be best if I caused some sort of disaster for Ai ShuQiao to clean up the mess. I would then take the opportunity to pretend to submit to Ai ShuQiao in order to obtain more information on her.
F * ck, aren't you planning to make me a spy? I don't want to go undercover! What if Ai ShuQiao makes me change my name to Ai Lin and do some crazy things to prove my loyalty!?
Seeing my dissatisfied expression, Director Jiang changed his tone to a gentle one.
"Ye Lin, I know you don't have a good relationship with Ai ShuQiao. It's a lot of pressure for you to pretend to submit to her, but it's the most effective way to obtain information on the enemy. If you can provide us with valuable information, we will do our best to help you solve your difficulties."
"For example, what difficulties?" I asked. "Revising my failed English test?"
Director Jiang took a sip of tea and leaned back in his chair.
"Ye Lin, maybe you haven't received the news yet, but because Huo Jiangdong suddenly disappeared, his father, Huo ZhenBang, suffered a blow. Today, he was admitted to the ICU and was just out of danger. You should know that depression is not a good factor for AIDS patients. If you want to stabilize his condition and extend his lifespan, I'm afraid it's difficult to rely on the antiviral drugs on the market, unless … "
"Unless what?"
"Unless he can obtain the latest AIDS drug that the US military accidentally developed. Because of the harsh manufacturing conditions, the production of this drug is extremely small. It's only available to people of the same level as the head of a small country. It can't be bought on the market no matter how much money you have."
Then, Director Jiang looked into my eyes.
"The US promised to make an exception for Ai ShuQiao's problem. As long as you cooperate with us, they'll provide the drug to Huo ZhenBang on schedule so he won't die from complications of AIDS and try to improve his quality of life."
My heart sank. As Xiao Qin's biological father, even though Huo ZhenBang was a dissolute man by nature and he deserved AIDS, he was still a father who cared about his child. He still hid the fact that he had AIDS from Xiao Qin — — I don't want Xiao Qin's father to die.
I narrowed my eyes, "Are you sure the drug they provided is effective?"
"It's absolutely effective." Director Jiang replied, "My colleague will give the drug to Huo ZhenBang tonight. Even though it's only a week's worth, it's enough for him to see the effects."
I was still vigilant, "Huo ZhenBang is the head of the Triad. Would he believe someone of unknown origin and take the drug?"
"I didn't send someone of unknown origin," Director Jiang said, "When our country pursues corrupt officials, we sometimes borrow the power of the Triad. Huo ZhenBang will know that the drug was given to him by the government."
At this point, I felt like I had no reason to reject Director Jiang. The Chinese government and the US government had become my teammates. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before Ai ShuQiao was arrested. I only needed to put on an act and I could add a little weight to the scales of victory. Moreover, I could guarantee that Xiao Qin's biological father would receive better treatment. Why not?
Thus, Director Jiang and I reached a rough verbal agreement. He agreed to give me one more week to think about it and also let me see the effects of Huo ZhenBang's drug.
On the other side, the exploration of the underground tomb led by Dr. Yu was also announced to be over. All the photos and evidence were taken away by Director Jiang's subordinates, and Dr. Yu's AM robot became the coolie for nothing.
But the National Security Agency did not know that my smartwatch could also transform into an AM robot, so the more valuable information was still in our hands.
That night, Dr. Yu and I were sent back to QingZi High School. Ai Mi, who woke up from her coma, ran out to greet me. Out of caution, I decided to only tell Director Jiang and Peng TouSi about our agreement and keep it a secret from Ai Mi.
Not many people knew I was kidnapped. Peng TouSi told the public that I went out with my friends and got lost. The class leader and the others did not know the inside story, so they only sent me text messages. Winnie even laughed at me for getting lost like Ai Mi.
When I returned to room 222, I found that Shu Zhe was not in the room. Instead, Xiao Qin was sitting on my bed, hugging a pillow with red eyes.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
When Xiao Qin saw me, she threw the pillow away and threw herself into my arms.
"Wuwuwu ~ ~ ~ ~ Ye Lin classmate! What should I do? What should I do! "
I didn't understand, so I comforted Xiao Qin and asked her to sit next to me on the edge of the bed, then I asked her what happened.
Xiao Qin used her arm to wipe her tears and said: "We stayed up too late to celebrate Zhuang Ni's birthday yesterday, so I only woke up at noon today. I heard you went out with a boy, so I called home since I was bored. In the end, the line got crossed and I happened to hear my dad calling my mom, and it sounded like they were saying their final farewells!"
When I saw Xiao Qin's tearful eyes, I knew the 'dad' she was talking about was definitely Huo ZhenBang.
Huo ZhenBang was admitted to the ICU because of complications from AIDS. After he was out of danger, he probably thought he didn't have long to live, so he called Auntie Ren in hopes that she would forgive him and treat Xiao Qin well.
Who would have thought that coincidentally, Xiao Qin also called at the same time, but the line was crossed, so she heard most of their conversation.
That's how Xiao Qin found out that her biological father was infected with AIDS and his condition was getting worse. The saddest part was that she clearly heard her father's voice, but she couldn't say a single word of comfort.
Xiao Qin, who didn't know what to do, subconsciously went to room 222 to wait for me to come back. Shu Zhe was either kicked out by Xiao Qin, or he tactfully left when he saw Xiao Qin come in.
"Why didn't you tell me my dad was sick? Is he going to die? Is he going to die? "
Xiao Qin started crying again and threw herself into my arms for the second time. I lovingly caressed her hair and let her vent her grief.
"Your father won't die." I said after taking a deep breath, "Although there's no precedent of a cure for AIDS, there are people like Magic Johnson who lived for 20 years with reasonable treatment. Your father was just traumatized by Huo Jiangdong's sudden disappearance, he should have many more years to live."
Xiao Qin was still crying non-stop. She probably already knew about her half-brother's disappearance, but she and Huo Jiangdong didn't grow up together, so they didn't have a deep relationship. Now that her biological father was in critical condition, of course all her thoughts were on her biological father.
"Your father definitely won't die." I saw that Xiao Qin was crying harder and harder, so I could only tell her the truth in advance, "There's a new drug produced by the US military that is currently being delivered to your father. It will definitely stabilize your father's condition and allow you two to spend more time together. If you don't believe me, you can call his cell phone right now. I think the drug has already been delivered. "
Xiao Qin raised her head in confusion after seeing how certain I was. She called her father with tears on her face.
