Chapter Fourteen: A Sad Reunion
"Yes." Miss Parker nodded and told Pang Jindong: "Even Congress is not qualified to review the CIA's budget, so the CIA has a lot of funds to do anything. It can be imagined that there must be many shameful things here. After the new director came to power, he took the means of putting in the wrong and thoroughly investigated the accounts of his predecessor, and a huge black hole was found, which determined the existence of the center."
Pang Jindong lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and said, "In order to prevent the existence of the center from being leaked, all those who were informed have committed suicide. Even if the new director knows, it will be useless!"
"If I don't die all, for example, my father will live well, otherwise how will the center be rebuilt?" Miss Parker shook her head and told Pang Jindong: "Come back, the center will help you solve all the troubles!"
"Give me a reason to go back!"
"Give me a reason why you won't come back. What did you join the center for? Wealth, ability, and stimulation? Now the center can double the amount you can give you, and it also includes power."
Pang Jindong sneered and told Miss Parker: "These things are no longer what I want!"
Faced with Pang Jindong's attitude, Miss Parker changed her way: "You don't seem to understand your identity, Jerry, you are the property of the M government, and you are the same weapon worth 30 million US dollars. It's just that there is a temporary problem in preserving your arsenal, so you haven't played the role you deserve for a long time. Fortunately, this error has been corrected now."
Miss Parker's words made Pang Jindong very angry: "You murdered my parents and even offered me a price as the same property!"
"The one who formulated your training plan and murdered your parents was the former CIA Director. He was already dead, and there was no need for you to take revenge. And our new boss is no longer the CIA, but the Department of Homeland Security." Miss Parker also lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, spit out a smoke ring at Pang Jindong, and continued, "Actually we are all the same!"
"How did the Department of Homeland Security know the existence of the center and find you remnants of the debris and try to rebuild this damn institution?"
"Can you go back and have a talk?" Miss Parker stened out the cigarette butt and suddenly asked, "What did Bernard give you on the day the center was disbanded?"
Bernard is the treasurer of the center and was sent to work at the embassy in Country Z for several years. During that period, he became fascinated by Chinese culture. Therefore, after learning that Pang Jindong was a Chinese, he took great care of Pang Jindong.
The management of the center is quite strict, and there is little contact between people at different levels or departments. Corresponding to the level is the level of confidentiality and authorization to enter the internal network system. The higher the level, the more things the people know and the greater the permissions.
Pang Jindong is just the lowest-level trainee and knows very little. When Bernard was with Pang Jindong, he never mentioned the matters about the senior management of the center, but he used his identity to give Pang Jindong more freedom. It was under Bernard's care that Pang Jindong spent his years in the center comfortably and did not realize the cruelty and ruthlessness of the center.
Thinking of this old friend, Pang Jindong asked, "Is he okay?"
"After you left with other trainees, he committed suicide. You should understand that people like him who have a lot of secrets - especially in terms of funds, will definitely be killed if they don't commit suicide."
"He is a good person!" Pang Jindong said sadly.
Miss Parker said: "I don't care about his character, I only care about what he gave you!"
Pang Jindong shook his head and replied, "Nothing!"
"Don't you say it? It doesn't matter. When you get back to the center, you have plenty of time to recall it!"
Pang Jindong sneered and said, "You are dreaming!"
"I really have to continue this dream!"
Pang Jindong looked back at Benjamin's body and felt a sense of sorrow. Pang Jindong said, "We used to be good friends, but I didn't expect that the reunion after a long separation would be like this."
"Because we're all grown up, Jerry."
"But I won't change like you!" After the words fell, Pang Jindong's gun suddenly raised upwards and fired a shot. At the same time, his other hand took out another gun, swung it horizontally, and fired the second shot.
The bullets of two turns bypassed Miss Parker and hit the foreheads of the two behind her, including the one who killed Uncle Benjamin.
"Damn!" Miss Parker did not expect Pang Jindong to attack suddenly, and hurriedly pulled out his gun with two other subordinates.
Pang Jindong did not give them a chance to fight back, and the two guns fired continuously, while regressing and running backwards to the rear.
Miss Parker and his men flew into two shots, and immediately hid behind the exit of the stairs.
As soon as he arrived here, Pang Jindong noticed a fire ladder hanging by the platform behind him, and then he planned to escape. Pang Jindong retreated to the edge of the platform, threw away a gun, bit another gun in his mouth, and jumped backwards.
After Pang Jindong jumped out of the roof, he landed steadily on the fire stairs, firmly grasped the handrail of the fire stairs with both hands and slid down quickly. However, Pang Jindong did not fall directly to the ground, because Miss Parker had already chased him. As long as she shoots above the platform, Pang Jindong hanging on the fire stairs will become the best target.
There was a window next to the fire staircase. Pang Jindong stopped suddenly when he slid there, kicked the glass with one kick, then jumped sideways and grabbed the edge of the windowsill, and climbed in with both arms.
Just as Pang Jindong entered the room, the bullet flew over behind him.
There was only one old man in the room, lying on the chair watching TV. Pang Jindong's sudden appearance made him stunned and stare stupidly.
"I'm sorry!" Pang Jindong bowed and ran out quickly.
Miss Parker never could catch up with Pang Jindong, and Pang Jindong returned to the hotel and lie on the bed and breathed a long sigh.
Although he felt a little relaxed, the pain caused by the truth made Pang Jindong's heart very heavy again.
Murphy's Law believes that if something may have the worst outcome, it will definitely move towards the worst.
The possibility that Pang Jindong was most reluctant to face was confirmed, that is, he had been living in a conspiracy for the past ten years. Thinking of this, Pang Jindong felt like a puppet carrying a string, performing sadly on the stage set up by others. He thought that his life was actually being manipulated by others. Perhaps those who lifted a string were looking at him with ridicule.
It was also not until this time that Pang Jindong understood what Agent Thompson said in China. After contacting Jin Lingling, Agent Thompson once told her that the CIA had stopped investigating Pang Jindong's experience. Then the context of the matter was very clear. In order to murder Pang Jindong, Agent Thompson investigated Pang Jindong's background in detail, thus grasping the real cause of Pang Jindong's parents' death, and accidentally discovered the Kobeno plan. In order to prevent the plan from leaking, the CIA prevented him from continuing the investigation.
"You are still very lucky. After all, you were not silenced by the CIA. You have lived for a while longer!" Pang Jindong said in a low voice, perhaps hoping that Agent Thompson, who is in another world, can hear it.
For Pang Jindong, what is even more painful is that he cannot avenge his parents. Because whether it is the Gambino Mafia or the CIA, the parties who created his tragedy are dead. And if the entire organization or the CIA are regarded as enemies, it is not only unnecessary, but also never possible to achieve the goal.
Especially for institutions like the CIA, although some people believe that in M country, the CIA is not the largest and most mysterious organization, there is no doubt that in the eyes of the world, the CIA is the world's number one, regardless of the number and quality of staff, network coverage, and scale.
This organization, which was signed by the 1947 National Security Law signed by former President of M country Truman, was directly appointed by the president. Since its birth, it has been given the mission of "using obvious and hidden means to obtain intelligence while providing intelligence analysis, judging national intelligence goals and collecting relevant intelligence information from all government agencies." It also has the authority to engage in subverting foreign governments. It serves as the president and the senior intelligence adviser to Congress, and is often called the president's "ear". It is said that after the establishment of the CIA, the first person President Truman met every day was always the director of the CIA.
One of the CIA's specialties is to overthrow the elected government and then support the military regime. These include the Greek neo-fascism, the far-right dynasty in Iran, the murder regime in Guatemala, the spear party in Lebanon, the tyranny of Suharto in Indonesia, the Pinoche military regime in Chile... and even the apartheid regime in South Africa. Recently, there is information that it was the CIA who handed Mandela to the South African police authorities to detain. Even the **** boss, who is now hating the people of M, is also a big deal by the CIA.
However, after the September 11 incident, the CIA was criticized, believing that after spending a large sum of money from taxpayers, it had no idea of such a huge terrorist attack. Therefore, the CIA has gradually declined in recent years, and many functions have been replaced by the newly established Department of Homeland Security and other departments.
But no matter what, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. In front of the most powerful institutions of the world's most powerful country, Pang Jindong is just an insignificant little person.
Pang Jindong asked in his heart: "What can I do if I flap my wings desperately?"
Although he had to let the hatred disappear, Pang Jindong faced a new problem while fleeing - avoiding the pursuit of the center. Pang Jindong must figure out what Bernard left behind at the beginning.
In fact, Bernard did leave something for Pang Jindong, a statue of Venus.
On the morning when the center was disbanded, Bernard called Pang Jindong to his office. His mood seemed very heavy. After a simple blessing, he gave the statue to Pang Jindong. Although it was just an inconspicuous and ordinary counterfeit, Bernard asked Pang Jindong to preserve it well.
At that time, Bernard stroked Venus' broken arm and said meaningfully: "Beautiful things are often incomplete..."
Although he was not interested in Venus, Pang Jindong still kept the statue as a memory of Bernard and that life, and is still placed at home today.
Pang Jindong immediately called Han Feng, but he didn't expect that before he could say anything, Han Feng hurriedly reported the good news: "Our property was officially sold, but it was booked on the same day. According to my plan, the comprehensive service center can be fully operated in one month, and the duty-free shops, kTVs and hotels can be opened soon. According to the municipal government's plan, cBd has a one-year construction period, but the market demand is now available, and we undoubtedly seized the opportunity."
"Leave the best floors of office buildings for us to use for ourselves, and need the highest-end decoration!"
"Absolutely no problem." After Han Feng agreed, he told Pang Jindong: "I plan to buy the nearby land and build a large maLL."
"You are in charge of this matter at your disposal!" After a pause, Pang Jindong continued, "Do it well, I'll give you the money!"
Han Feng did not express his opinion, but just smiled embarrassedly and continued to report on his work.
Before leaving, Pang Jindong told everyone not to contact him without any last resort. Obviously, this Han Feng was so suffocated that he could only wait until Pang Jindong called to ask for instructions and report.
After Pang Jindong arranged the company's affairs, Han Feng said again: "Mr. Shen called me several times today and asked me to tell you immediately that the two new open-end funds have all received subscriptions and can only be allocated proportionally. The previous resource monopoly funds performed well, and their net value growth rate ranked third in the quarter."
"Oh!" Pang Jindong responded absent-mindedly, and then instructed Han Feng: "You go to my house. There is a statue of Venus in a corner of the living room. I will send it to me immediately by express delivery. Be careful not to use my own name. The recipient is one of my friends Eric Chen, and I plan to give this statue to him."
After leaving the hotel address to Han Feng, Pang Jindong hung up the phone and prayed in his heart that the statue should not be destroyed by Lin Peiwen.
Originally, Pang Jindong wanted Han Feng to know about Lin Peiwen's recent situation, whether it caused any losses to his family, and how Kazumama Yaqing came to M Country, but when she thought about it, she was worried about the emergence of trouble, so she didn't speak in the end.
In the next few days, Pang Jindong just hid in his room and watched TV. The current news reports are trying to downplay the assassination of Senator Reeved. However, his life and death are still a mystery. Pang Jindong wants to investigate, but he doesn't know where to start.
