"The person was captured?"
Upon hearing this news, Reesi furrowed her brows and Mona's expression changed slightly; both won exchanged glances and then turned their attention to Luo An.
Through the "emotional perception" in his mind, Luo An confird that what they said was true, and after a brief silence, he asked:
"Is the undercover agent still alive?"
"Sorry, we are equally unsure."
Conrad gestured with his hand, and Evelyn imdiately handed a photo to Luo An showing the appearance of the undercover agent, as Conrad continued:
"However, the undercover agent knows a lot of things, and it's unlikely that the underground traders will kill her in a short ti. There is still a high chance she is alive.
Our next primary objective is to locate the undercover agent, figure out a way to rescue her, and then clarify the ti and place where the list was sold, as well as the buyer's identity."
Luo An looked at the photo handed to him by Evelyn, which showed a Caucasian woman, looking under thirty, with a delicately featured face and large eyes, forming a stark contrast with the small-eyed Conrad.
After Conrad finished speaking, "emotional perception" confird that these words were also true. Luo An put away the photo and nodded his head; after briefly communicating, the group began walking towards a distant road, ready to drive away from the area.
On the way to the airport, two cars raced one after the other at high speed.
Mona sat in the passenger seat, tapping on her laptop's keyboard, researching information related to the female undercover agent, while Luo An sat in the back seat, lost in thought, and the driver, Reesi, remained silent for a long ti before suddenly speaking:
"The two of you, we might need to be more cautious about that Evelyn."
Mona nodded; not knowing exactly what Reesi ant, but Evelyn had already aroused her displeasure, and even if Reesi hadn't ntioned it, she would have kept a close watch on her.
Luo An opened his eyes, knowing that what Reesi ntioned wasn't what Mona was concerned about, and asked:
"What aspect are you referring to?"
"I an the CIA team's orders and command."
Reesi chuckled and said:
"My experience, along with those three people's gazes and unintentional movents, tell that Evelyn probably has slept with both n in the team.
Conrad and Sean most likely still don't know about this, and they are both kept in the dark by Evelyn.
Even though Conrad is the leader of their squad and Sean is a mber, at crucial monts, these two n might act irrationally for Evelyn's sake; we need to be more cautious about this."
Mona was sowhat surprised upon hearing this:
"Reesi, are you sure?"
"Trust my experience."
Reesi chuckled again, with a touch of pride:
"Because I've done this too, hanging out with three girls at the sa ti without letting them find out about each other."
"..."
Mona's eyelids twitched at the thoroughly ry, she turned her head to see Luo An looking very calm, and asked:
"Luo An, did you guess this too?"
Luo An shook his head, he indeed didn't have such experiences, but even if he did, he wouldn't admit it, so he explained:
"n control the world, won control n, it's a natural law."
Reesi's eyes lit up, she gave Luo An a thumbs up, Mona pursed her lips and said nothing, returning to her seat to continue typing.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the airport and boarded a small private airplane.
"Our next stop is in that longest country in South Arica."
The plane took off slowly and steadied after a while, Conrad unbuckled his seatbelt, took out a bottle of red wine, and handed it to the three, saying
"When we arrive there, soone will arrange equipnt and funding for us."
Luo An took the red wine but didn't drink, and asked:
"The main issue now is the disappearance of the undercover agent, do you have a way to find her?"
"The undercover agent's codena is Anita, we can call her that."
Conrad picked up the red wine, took a sip, and shook his head:
"For so reasons, Anita didn't use our CIA's tracking chips, so we can't locate her.
However, Anita is an experienced undercover agent. Though she's under thirty this year, she has been in this business for over five years and understands the importance of leaving clues at crucial monts.
We just need to find these clues to locate her."
Mona furrowed her brows upon hearing this, and Reesi directly asked:
"So, is the CIA's plan to rely on the clues Anita left before she was captured?
What if she didn't leave any clues, or what if the captor discovered and destroyed them?"
Conrad remained impassive and calmly said:
"Then we'll think of other thods when the ti cos."
"..."
Seeing Conrad, Sean, and Evelyn's faces looking as if this was a matter of course, Mona and Reesi's expressions turned slightly unpleasant, feeling a clash in the operational styles and habits of the two teams, completely out of sync.
Beside them, Luo An's expression remained unchanged, still looking very calm. He gestured to Mona and Reesi, smiling lightly:
"No worries, Conrad has rich experience. We just follow their lead."
Luo An was actually not in a hurry. For the FBI, their main goal was retrieving the list, capturing people ca second.
As long as they kept close to Conrad's three CIA mbers, they would certainly have a chance to see that list.
Conrad had been telling the truth so far, but Luo An knew very well that sotis telling half truths can cause far more damage than outright lies.
And as the leader of a CIA operation group, Conrad couldn't be a simple man; he surely had other plans.
If it ca to it, they could resort to seizing the list by force, just a few more troubles but the end result would remain the sa.
Thinking this, Luo An showed a bright and sunny smile, and Conrad's smile also beca more genial. The two exchanged a glance, understanding each other without words.
Other people on the plane: "..."
————
Chile, southwestern South Arica, at the western foothills of the Andes Mountains, bordering the Pacific to the west, and separated by sea from Antarctica to the south, is the world's narrowest country.
Chile is also one of the wealthiest countries in South Arica, not only due to its abundant mineral, forestry, and fishery resources but mainly because the upper echelons of the country's governnts have always maintained good relations with the higher echelons of the Federation Governnt…
In south-central Chile, Monte Port, a well-known business center, transportation hub, and tourist spot.
Thursday, at twelve noon, in a well-known hotel in Monte Port… not far from a small coffee shop.
Behind the coffee shop, there was a room for the owner to rest, with a spacious basent underneath.
The basent was long, with walls on the left covered in weapons, and a large whiteboard on the right filled with tape scraps, showing that many photos had previously been posted there to analyze intelligence and information.
Mona and Reesi looked at the various types of guns on the walls, raising their eyebrows, Luo An glanced around and chuckled:
"Conrad, the locations of your CIA safe houses really do vary."
Sean and Evelyn began to assign weapons and equipnt to Mona and Reesi, Conrad just smiled and didn't say a word, bent down to find so satellite phones and handed them to Luo An, saying:
"These are specially made satellite phones, we'll mainly rely on these to stay in touch during the operation."
"OK."
Handing the phones to Mona casually, Luo An picked up two grenades and asked:
"Where was the last place Anita lost contact?"
"Just at that nearby port."
After a brief preparation with the equipnt, they stepped out of the basent. Luo An glanced at the coffee shop owner by the door and casually asked:
"Is this your man?"
Conrad nodded, and the next second, Luo An suddenly drew his gun and aid it at the coffee shop owner's head.
"?!"
