Chapter 1155 Take the initiative to join

"Where did you go before?"

Seeing Claire's deeply shocked state, Ethan's tone became less serious, and he asked why the other party was still alive.

"He said on the radio that the mission was aborted, and I left."

Claire's tone was still very low, as if she hadn't recovered from the shock of the news of Jim's death.

"That was eight hours ago. Tell me, who do you belong to? Did they send you to catch me?"

When Ethan heard that Claire could still answer his questions, he suddenly became vigilant again.

"who are they?

Why can't I understand you? No one sent me here. Didn't we agree to meet here at four o'clock?

The mission is aborted and we must gather at four o'clock. We can only come at four o'clock.

Four o'clock in the morning, four o'clock, Ethan, gather at four o'clock in the morning, this is the agreement of our team.

Meet at four o'clock, four o'clock in the morning!"

Claire raised her head and looked at Ethan with tears streaming down her face.

After hearing Claire's words, Ethan put away his pistol and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I was expelled from the organization. They thought I killed Jim and others because my parents' bank account suddenly had $100,000 in it. Kittredge thought I was the mole they had been looking for."

After both parties calmed down, Ethan told Claire all the news he had received before.

While telling the news, he also carefully observed the other party.

But there was nothing wrong with Claire's performance, and it seemed that the other party knew these things for the first time.

Especially when Ethan said that he only learned the name of the intelligence broker Max tonight, Claire's reaction was blank, as if she had never heard of him at all.

"Then what are you going to do next? Should I contact Kittredge?"

Claire looked like she didn't know what to do, and she obviously regarded Ethan as her backbone.

"I want to help Max get the undercover information she wants."

At this time, Ethan completely gave up testing Claire, and then revealed his purpose without any secret.

"Ethan, what are you talking nonsense about? Why don't we contact Kittredge again and let me explain to him. Now that both of us are alive, it proves that there was something wrong with their previous intelligence."

Claire didn't know that Ethan had met the intelligence broker tonight, and he had reached a deal with him.

"No, Claire, Kittredge won't believe it. He will only regard you as my accomplice and think that we are in the same group."

In response to Claire's words, Ethan shook his head.

"Then what should we do?"

When Claire heard Ethan's words, she was silent for a moment, then her eyes widened and she looked at him helplessly.

"This is what I want to do, not our business."

When Ethan heard Claire's question, he shook his head directly, indicating that this was his own matter.

"You just said that Kittredge will think that we are a gang, and Jim is my husband. Of course I also want to find out who killed him."

Claire's words were reasonable, and Ethan couldn't even find a reason to refuse.

"Are you sure? It's very risky for us to do this."

Ethan seemed a little surprised by Claire's determination.

"Am I not in danger now? If I'm not lucky enough to get out of the car"

Claire's tone was very firm.

When Ethan heard what the other party said, his heart suddenly felt warm.

Having encountered so many things in succession before, Ethan's nerves were always tense.

Now that he has a familiar helper, it will naturally be of great help to his current situation.

In particular, Claire herself plays a support role in their team and is actually an indispensable member of the operation.

"Before we want to get the real undercover list, we need to find a few helpers."

With Claire joining, Ethan began to plan how to successfully obtain Langley's list of undercover members in Europe.

"With our current status, how can we find people willing to join, especially if we have to provoke a behemoth like Langley?"

When Claire heard about Ethan's plan, she felt a lot of pressure.

"It's very simple. It would be nice to find some people who are in the same situation as us."

Ethan was quite confident about this. He opened a list as he spoke.

The file name of the list is very long, but the most eye-catching one is a few large characters: List of Langley Removed Agents!

As the largest intelligence organization in the world, Langley naturally has a very large number of personnel serving it.

When there are more people, various situations will naturally arise.

Many people will eventually leave Langley for various reasons.

Ethan is obviously planning to find some former agents who, like him, are unwilling to be dismissed by Langley to work together.

"What kind of intelligence agent are you looking for? Maybe I can help."

Seeing that Ethan was going to check through such a large list one by one, Claire took the initiative to take over the search task.

"Find a computer expert and a mobile expert, at least two people are needed."

When Ethan heard that Claire was going to take over, he didn't hesitate.

He himself is an operational expert, so naturally he is somewhat incapable of doing these logistical tasks.

In fact, when searching for the team members, Ethan couldn't help but think of Zhang Pin and Bourne, who had had a relationship before, barely cooperated once, and had saved his life.

As far as Ethan knew, both of them had issues with Langley. If he invited them to participate in stealing Langley's undercover list, there is no chance that they would agree.

When Zhang Pin was looking for information about Langley from their computer, Ethan could tell that Zhang Pin seemed to be preparing to find some information about Langley.

Judging from the other party's attitude and position with Langley, it seems that the other party is not preparing to announce these facts, but more like adding some chips to himself.

But because Ethan thought that by meeting the intelligence broker, he would be able to get clues about the mole.

At the same time, he was also worried that getting too close to Langley's enemies would lead to misunderstandings, so the two parties failed to exchange contact information.

At this moment, even if he wanted to invite Zhang Pin and Bourne to cooperate, he didn't know how to find them.

Therefore, the cooperation matter naturally had to be abandoned.

Dong dong dong——

But just when Ethan felt sorry for not being able to cooperate with Zhang Pin and Bourne, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the safe house.

Ethan and Claire were both alert at the same time.

"Is there someone else who didn't die and is back now? Could it be Jim?"

Claire's reaction was even greater than Ethan's. As she spoke, she stood up and prepared to open the door.

"Be careful, everyone else is dead!"

Ethan is not as optimistic as Claire.

He grabbed Claire, then took out the pistol again, hid in the corner again, stared at the door with the gun raised, and then quietly observed.

"It's me, friend. The situation has changed a bit, but we are friends, not enemies. Please open the door and let me come in to talk!"

At this moment, the knocking on the door stopped, and then Zhang Pin's voice came in from outside.

"Who is this?"

Claire looked at Ethan suspiciously, and her expression this time was obviously not fake.

"One can be considered a friend."

At this moment, Ethan didn't notice any difference between Claire's confused expression now and her previous one.

He took the gun and quietly walked to the door, then looked at the door through the observation hole, and then saw Zhang Pin standing alone with his back to the door.

After confirming that there was no one else around and that Bourne, who was with Zhang Pin before, was nowhere to be seen, Ethan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door with a bit of regret.

"What are you doing?"

Just now, Ethan actually considered whether to cooperate with Zhang Pin and Bourne.

But the reason why he had this idea was mainly because of Bourne's ability.

As the spy ace, Bourne will definitely help Ethan a lot in his next actions.

On the other hand, Ethan had no idea about Zhang Pin.

Because instinctively, he didn't think Zhang Pin could do anything to help him.

Ethan is usually responsible for intelligence on the European side at Langley, so he doesn't know much about the news on the Asian side.
