Chapter 357: Chapter 212: Preparing for the Exchange
“Go to the World Trade Center Association,”
According to information obtained by the CIA investigation, this trade center also has a high likelihood of harboring spies from Bear Country.
However, since the goal of the World Trade Center Association is to encourage the expansion of world trade and promote international business relations and mutual understanding between nations—simply put, it’s an international organization.
To avoid stirring international public opinion and diplomatic conflicts between two countries, the CIA and FBI dared not to blatantly storm in to investigate. They could only conduct their investigations in secret.
Perhaps the spy from Bear Country was hiding too well, so until now, neither of these two institutions had been able to determine exactly who the spy was.
The World Trade Center Association was located in the heart of Long Beach District, a 60-story skyscraper, and David arrived there twenty minutes later.
Just like at California Institute of Technology, in order to ensure his own safety, upon arrival, he chose not to get off the car but instead observed the people coming in and out from within his vehicle.
It wasn’t until two hours later that the appearance of a crew-cut man in a suit caught his attention.

“So he’s a comrcial spy…”
After scrutinizing the man’s information, David revealed a hint of a smile, then extended his hand and pointed out to Nisen, saying, “See that guy over there.”
“I see him, what’s up, Chief?”
“Notify the departnt, activate the Sky Eye System to see where he’s heading, and then find an appropriate place to take him down. Still, we need to keep him alive.”
These spies are not ordinary people; they must have undergone counter-surveillance training, so it’s best to use electronic tracking systems like the Sky Eye System to follow them and then capture them at an opportune mont.
“Understood.”
An hour later, Nisen hung up the phone and told David, “Chief, our people have captured that guy. They’re bringing him back to the departnt now.”
David nodded and continued to observe the people coming in and going out.
Ti passed, quickly reaching 5 o’clock.
It should be quitting ti now, and a large number of mbers from the association started leaving the building. David, through using the Golden Finger’s scrutiny feature, soon identified two more comrcial spies.
He imdiately instructed Nisenbaki and others to arrange for their capture.
Afterward, since it was no longer a suitable ti to capture spies elsewhere, he had to return to the Western Suburb Branch office first.
Upon learning of his return, Hakim also ca to him imdiately and said, “Chief, the two spies have been placed in the detention room. We’ve indeed found so interesting things in their hos. Furthermore, we are cracking their computers.”
“Bring them to the interrogation room for to examine.”
“Alright.”
Soon, the two spies who were captured from the California Institute of Technology were brought into the departnt’s interrogation room.
Shortly after them, David also walked in.
The two obviously recognized David. Seeing him enter, a slight change appeared on their faces, but they quickly covered it up.
“Do you know why I’ve brought you back here?”
The pair exchanged glances, and then the man nad Hamilton replied in a displeased tone, “Director David, I am a distinguished research fellow at the California Institute of Technology. I don’t understand why you brought back, especially in such a rude manner. If you can’t give a reasonable explanation, I will certainly sue you!”
What he referred to as rude was of course being stunned and brought back.
David let out a dismissive laugh and responded, “Then go ahead and sue if you’re not afraid of blowing your cover.”
Hearing the words “blowing your cover,” a subtle change flickered in their eyes. Hamilton countered, “What do you an, blowing your cover? What are you talking about?”
“Hamilton, or rather, I should call you Mr. Futoryak, alum of the Bear Country Federal Security Service’s 116th special training, am I right?”
As he spoke, David then turned towards the woman beside him and said, “Miss Elsie, you didn’t bother with an alias. But then again, you are from the 118th special training of Bear Country’s Federal Security Service, right?”
“I don’t know anything about a Bear Country Federal Security Service!”
Elsie’s obstinate denial made David smirk and then he started, “On December 19, 2021, you stole Professor Betasi’s genetic technology and passed it on to Bear Country, eventually earning a Thirty Thousand US dollars bonus. On December 28, through your relationship with Professor Betasi, you obtained Professor Ted’s artificial intelligence technology, and after sending it back to Bear Country, you were awarded a Sixty Thousand US dollars bonus… ”
After revealing this, David’s gaze returned to Futoryak, continuing, “And you, Futoryak, on February 11, 2021, you stole Professor Bowersen’s cell therapy research findings, sent them to Bear Country, and received a Fifty Thousand US dollars bonus. On January 10, you stole Professor Gustav’s biotechnology research findings and after sending them to Bear Country, you earned a Thirty Thousand US dollars bonus, on January 16…”
