Steve always felt that he was the one who suffered the loss when getting along with Ren He. This feeling happened inexplicably, but Steve highly agreed with it.
In the final analysis, it was because Ren He held his hand. Although the money he earned was enough for him to support him in his old age, it was still something he didn't really want to do.
If the original plan to send Ren He away failed, Steve himself would have no choice but to go on the run, and he would never be as leisurely as he is now.
The US government will never allow a former CIA member suspected of treason to exist.
So Steve really didn't want to answer the phone now. He didn't answer the first call until the ringing ended. However, Ren He didn't make the second call. Ordinary people would think that the trouble might be over, but Steve
My husband looked at this silent mobile phone as if he was feeling silent ridicule...
Because Ren He still had the leverage. He had already returned to China and it was no big deal. He still had to live in the United States! It was okay for him not to answer the phone when he was hesitating, but he had to go back!
Some time ago, he had a general understanding of Ren He's character and character. To sum up, Steve felt that Ren He was a good person.
It is no longer easy to get a true evaluation of a good person in this world. This is not a good person card given to girls when they reject others.
Steve felt that Ren He would not be shameless enough to expose his affairs, but he still couldn't help his guilty conscience...
He dialed the phone back and said with a smile: "My old friend, how have you been since you returned to China?"
Ren Hecai didn't have time to talk nonsense with Steve, he said cheerfully: "Don't talk so much, I need you to help me steal something."
"I'm retired now," Steve said through gritted teeth.
"It's okay, I don't mind," Ren He said with a smile, "I really don't mind."
Steve's face turned green. What the hell do you mind? I don't mind! He decided to explain to Ren He seriously: "Friend, I sent you abroad because I didn't want to live a life that was against the law anymore, so you want to
Understand, I won’t do this kind of thing again.”
"Listen to what I have to say," Ren He poured himself a glass of water, looked at the list of names promised to him on the computer and said to the phone: "This time you are asked to steal only some ordinary people. Because of business relations, they have stored in their homes
I have some hard drives about codes. You also know that I am engaged in the Internet industry in China, and these codes are of great significance to me."
Ren He is telling the truth. The home furnishings and security measures of these network security consultants are just like those of ordinary people. These top hackers are doing whatever they want on the Internet, but their security awareness in real life is very low. This is
That’s why incidents happened frequently in the first place.
And Ren He didn't mind if Steve knew the list and went to check the real identities of these people. Snowden's girlfriend was unusual at the time. After checking for a long time, he only found out that Snowden was in a security company, but he didn't know about this company.
Cybersecurity companies serve the National Security Agency, and Snowden himself is a staff member of the National Security Agency.
Of course, before the Prism Project exposure incident, no one thought of these companies and thought they were normal network security companies, but Ren He knew their characteristics very well.
And Ren He was not convinced. He just asked Xu Nuo to expand the search scope, pick out a few more companies, and then steal them on a large scale. If you steal something, you will steal it. It doesn't matter if you don't steal it, because you can always steal it...
So even if Steve has a special identity, all he can find are ordinary employees of network security companies. The CIA and the National Security Agency do not share resources. In terms of information flow, the National Security Agency is higher than the CIA, and the CIA
In terms of overseas armed forces, it is in turn higher than the National Security Agency.
Steve also knew very well that he had no room for rejection in front of Ren He. He said solemnly: "I hope we can become true friends, so I want to know, will you continue to threaten me after this incident?"
"It's like this, you see, as long as you complete this matter, I will not only give you the reward with both hands, but also personally send you the guarantee letter you wrote back then. What do you think?" Ren He said with a smile, in fact
He has no intention of continuing to use Steve. After taking revenge on the US government, he is a real ordinary person and only needs to live a rich and idle life.
Steve pondered for a full minute and then sighed and said, "Send the detailed information of the person you want to steal to my secret mailbox."
"No, no, it's definitely not possible to send it via email. Find an encrypted satellite phone and I'll tell you on the phone," Ren He shook his head and said. Since he wanted to expose the Prism plan, he had to put this plan aside.
When a piece of information containing a list of more than 90% of security employees was sent through a US server, Ren He did not believe that it would not attract the attention of the US government.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the Prism Project is the eye of modern society. It is no wonder that the Prism Project in the previous life caused so many people to panic after being exposed.
In confusion, Steve found a satellite phone and paid for Ren He to call him. Then he began to let Ren He read out the list and home address one by one, reading 50 names to him in one breath...
When Steve reached the fiftieth mark in his notebook, he was confused: "Wait a minute, these 50 people all have the code you need?"
Ren He smiled reservedly and said, "Yes."
Steve was in a bad mood at that time. He wanted to steal 50 residential houses? Indeed, as Ren He said, residential houses are easy to steal, and it was not a problem at all for him.
However...the quantity is huge!
Co-author: Are you starting to measure now?
Steve is very sure that there is definitely something wrong with this list. He doesn't even dare to ask others to help investigate whether there is anything wrong with this list. What if someone betrays him after something goes wrong?
He could only check it by himself, but after checking it all night, he became even more confused. These people did work for 5 different network security companies. These 5 security companies all have very legitimate business with the outside world, at least it seems that they don't.
What a flaw.
Steve even went to one of the houses to check it out and found that there was nothing wrong with it, it was just an ordinary residential building!
He called Ren He again: "I'll take this job, but you have to ensure that there won't be any problems in the future. If something happens to endanger my family, I won't let you go even if I'm on the run.
"
At this time, he didn't care about the guarantee letter or not. There were fingerprints on the fingerprints. Even if the original was destroyed, it would be of no avail. Ren He could still make countless copies.
Now Steve can only hope that Ren He's character is as good as he knows.
