After learning that Joey had activated all the agents in Cuba and prepared to hunt down Canglong and the Chinese soldier, Natasha felt helpless. She suddenly thought of Canglong's words, that he took himself too seriously.
"It's not good to offend anyone, let's offend him." Natasha paced around, "No, we can't just hand him over to the Chinese, otherwise it will be very detrimental to us in the future."
Natasha thought about the days when she and Canglong were in the Blackwater Mercenaries, when Canglong saved her life. Because of this, after returning to China, when Natasha worked for the CIA, she focused very much on the investigation of Canglong's origins.
The deeper the investigation went, the more frightened she became. Later, she came to the conclusion that Canglong was a very threatening person, but not threatening at all, as long as she did not provoke him.
If she knew about this transaction between the Cuban Ministry of Interior and the CIA in advance, she would definitely have stopped the CIA's actions. Unfortunately, she is no longer in the CIA, and the CIA is a highly independent department. She did not receive any information at all until the CIA requested it.
With the help of the Reconnaissance Bureau, she realized something was wrong when she saw Cang Long appearing in the satellite photos.
The most critical question now seems to be how important the deceased person was to Canglong.
However, the failure of the Cuban operation indirectly told Natasha that the dead Chinese-Cuban general was very important to Canglong, because during the satellite surveillance operation, Canglong killed an entire SEAL team.
This is incredible for Soryu who once served in the U.S. Navy SEALs. Although Soryu doesn't have much affection for the SEALs, he was arranged to enter the SEALs for training because the organization behind him used the U.S. military to train.
Train him.
However, Canglong has a principle, that is, not to kill anyone who is not the target of the mission. When working at the CIA, Natasha had paid attention to Canglong's actions many times. Although she had very little information about Canglong's whereabouts, every mission
, Canglong will not hurt anyone who has nothing to do with the mission.
It wasn't until the world's number one killer suddenly went to China that Natasha became vigilant. Although she was very dissatisfied with the CIA's behavior, it was very difficult for Natasha for Canglong to go to this hostile country.
Once this super killer is recruited by China's intelligence agencies, it will be even more powerful for China's recovering intelligence agencies.
If you don't engage in intelligence, you will never know the importance of a super agent. For Natasha, the only thing she can save is to make the Chinese intelligence agency suspicious of Canglong.
During several exchanges of information with Canglong, Natasha remained vigilant at all times. She had planned that even if Canglong could not be brought to their side, she would never push Canglong to the Chinese, but she did not expect that at the critical moment
, the CIA put on such a show for her.
Back at the Reconnaissance Bureau, Natasha came to her intelligence room. After operating the computer, Natasha ordered: "Log in to the hidden account name, Garfield, and connect with Shadowthorn."
"Logging in. The intelligence network is under surveillance. Do you want to continue logging in?" After the computer made a mechanical sound, a red option popped up on the screen.
"Perform special encryption and continue connecting." Natasha was a little desperate. If she was caught, she might have to report her current behavior to the Director of Intelligence, and might even be dismissed from her post and put on trial, but there were some things she had to do.
"Super encryption completed, connection in progress, please wait." A mechanical sound came from the computer.
Cuba, Santiago, in the Xu family's official residence, Canglong stood in front of the old man's coffin, his heart unable to calm down for a long time. The actions of him and Snow Leopard caused a great commotion in Cuba, but they are not a threat for the time being, because
Has the Cuban Ministry of Interior negotiated with the CIA?
Therefore, the Cubans believe that this incident is a breach of trust by the Americans, but it will not be long before the CIA will put down its dignity and exchange intelligence with the Cuban Ministry of Interior, but definitely not now.
So now, Canglong has enough time to remember this old friend.
He met Mr. Xu when he came out of the Assassin League's death training camp, and the first mission he carried out was in Cuba. The target of the mission at that time was a Cuban political figure.
The commission is one million dollars.
Canglong completed that task almost perfectly, but it also triggered martial law throughout Cuba. Although this political figure is not the number one figure in Cuba, he is second only to the number one figure, and he is a staunch anti-American and the Cuban red regime.
advocates.
At that time, although Canglong killed the political leader, he was also seriously injured. At that time, almost everyone in Cuba was in the army, and Canglong had no place to hide.
Just when he was desperate, he met Mr. Xu. At that time, Mr. Xu was the person in charge of hunting down the assassins. At that time, Canglong was surrounded by Cuban soldiers in a building and was besieged from all sides. Under the hail of bullets, Canglong had almost no chance.
There was hope, but the Cuban army also suffered heavy losses.
So later, the commander of the Cuban army, who had been unable to attack for a long time, brought in tanks. If Canglong hadn't hid in the basement, he would have been bombed into a pulp. But buried in the ruins, Canglong was almost alive and dead.
But he didn't expect that after he fell into coma, he would wake up not in hell, but in Mr. Xu's official residence.
The first time he met Mr. Xu, Canglong almost killed him, but Mr. Xu said something at that time, which Canglong still remembers in his heart: "My child, is this how you repay your savior?
"
"Why do you want to save me? Are we enemies?" Cang Long held deep hostility, and the dagger in his hand was still placed on Mr. Xu's neck. Although he was very weak at the time, he had undergone rigorous training and could kill anyone in front of him.
This middle-aged man still had some strength, and at that time he was eager to get an answer.
"You are only twelve or thirteen years old." Mr. Xu didn't care about the dagger in Canglong's hand at all. He just took a long breath and said, "No one taught me to kill a child who is not yet an adult, even if he is my enemy.
"
"That's it... like this?" Canglong, who had just come out of the death training camp, only knew how to kill people and could not understand Mr. Xu's words at all.
"That's it. If you want to leave, you can leave safely after your injury is healed. I guarantee that no one will hurt you in Cuba." Mr. Xu looked at him with a smile, "Trust me, kid."
"I'm...nine years old." Canglong, who didn't know what trust was, still didn't let down his guard, but corrected Mr. Xu's mistake.
Until later, when he safely left Mr. Xu's mansion and returned to the Assassin's League, he was wondering why Mr. Xu let him go. You must know that he killed so many people in Cuba, and many of them were Mr. Xu's men.
He should hate himself to the core.
Or did he want to use himself? This was an answer Canglong gave himself at that time, because he urgently needed an answer to determine a purpose.
But later, as he grew up and knew more and more things, Mr. Xu never contacted him, because when he left, he left Mr. Xu a special contact information so that he could help Xu for free.
The old man has to do one thing.
Cang Long, who was puzzled, went to Cuba again, but Mr. Xu only said one sentence: "Everyone has his own principles, but the bottom line of the principles is different. My principle is not to kill the old, weak, women and children, even if it is me
The commander ordered me."
Although Canglong disagreed with Mr. Xu's words and even wondered what a principle was? He felt that this was just one-sided words of Mr. Xu. In the end, he would definitely take advantage of him and contact him proactively.
But he didn't know that in future missions, he had never killed an ordinary person who had nothing to do with the mission. He didn't know whether it was intentional or deliberate.
Since then, Canglong has not been contacted by Mr. Xu as he wished. Until Mr. Xu retired, he did not contact him. So Canglong went to Cuba again and came to his official residence. When he saw Mr. Xu and his family enjoying themselves,
At that moment, Canglong understood that Mr. Xu was indeed doing it for principles, not for what he saw as exploitation.
Although he did not admit that Mr. Xu had influenced him, he remembered the word "principle" in his heart.
This old man fought in the army all his life for his faith and for this strange land, but he never gave up his principles. He never used Canglong until his death, but instead helped him a lot.
"You have always called me child, but I have never called you respectfully. The traditional Chinese gift is to bow down to the ground. Today I am here to give you this gift. Don't worry, I will fulfill your last wish, even if I give this order.
You are the President of the United States, and you have to let him take your life." Canglong said to himself in front of the coffin, then knelt down in front of the coffin and made a bowing ceremony before standing up.
This was a secret room, and there was only Cang Long in it. When he walked out again, Colonel Xu was waiting at the door: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay. Let the old man be cremated as soon as possible to avoid any complications." Canglong shook his head and forced a smile.
"I understand." Colonel Xu nodded, "People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs have come here many times, but I have blocked them all. You'd better leave here tonight. I have arranged a plane for you."
"Leave?" Canglong looked at him coldly, "The matter is not over yet."
"But... my father's body has been recovered, you..." Colonel Xu also wanted to persuade him.
"My mission is not over until the person who killed him is dead." Canglong looked at Colonel Xu firmly and smiled, "You and the old man really have the same temperament and are so kind."
"Hey." Colonel Xu took a deep look at Cang Long, then sighed and made arrangements for the cremation.
When Canglong returned to his room again, something was flashing on the computer. Canglong opened the flashing icon, and then a voice came: "Instant message from Garfield, do you accept it?"
"Garfield?" Canglong looked confused, but smiled, "Whatever is supposed to come will come, accept it."
"Shadowthorn, I finally found you." A picture of Natasha appeared on the computer.
"I killed your people. Do you want to locate me and send people to kill me, or..."
"No, you are wrong. Being an enemy of you is a terrible thing. I am contacting you via instant messaging to tell you that the CIA has activated all agents in Cuba and will kill you and your family at all costs.
That Chinese soldier." Natasha's face was solemn.
However, Canglong glanced at her with a strange expression: "Are you betraying your motherland?"
"No, I'm saving my ancestors... No, I should say, I'm saving that stupid pig. I hope you won't do anything to them." Natasha looked serious.
"Then do you think it's possible?" Canglong's tone was cold.
"It's impossible, but it's still worth a try." Natasha shook her head, "And now I have my answer. It seems that this person is really important to you."
"It is very important." Canglong added, and then closed the communication.
At this time, at the Reconnaissance Bureau headquarters, Natasha frowned and looked at the interrupted communication. She didn't know what she was thinking. After a while, she said: "It's ridiculous for a group of sheep to chase a wolf. Joey is stupid.
