Chapter 835: I'm Not Dead

"Buzz buzz......" Statham's cell phone rang, looking at the number that said "unknown". Statham didn't pick it up immediately, but just watched in silence. The phone rang a third time before he picked it up.

"It's me." Just one word, Statham's face began to stiffen. And the person on the other end of the phone just said lightly: "I'm not dead, I'm still alive." So...... What are you going to do? ”

Holding the phone, Statham was silent for a while before saying, "Is my life enough?!" ”

"What do you say?!" The person on the other end of the phone, the tone of his voice did not change at all: "I don't embarrass you, the one who is looking for you to call the shots." You know what it means for me to call you. Originally, I didn't need to call you, but I wanted to know your reaction. ”

A wry smile appeared on Statham's face: "How can I react?!" It may seem like I'm glamorous, but I'm actually nothing more than cannon fodder. A cannon fodder who is not even qualified to be a chess piece, how do you think I should react?! ”

"Now that you know who you are, what are you going to do with it?!" The voice on the other end of the phone still didn't carry any emotion. Statham sighed softly: "Greed is the greatest original sin......

"There is an old saying in Huaxia, called: people know themselves. Only when people know their position clearly can they understand what they can do and what they can do. There is also a saying, which is called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent. Confidant is the ...... in front"

The voice said lightly: "In this life, you don't have much chance to study anymore." In the next life, if there is a next life, read more books and then mix in these things. You...... Still too young......"

After saying this, the phone was hung up. Listening to the sound of "doodoo ......" on the phone, Statham held it silently for a while. before hanging up the phone.

Leaning back in his chair, Statham seemed to be haggard for several years at once. There is no such indifference and lightness as he reprimanded those newcomers and played with them before. His face was more lonely and disappointed.

He sat for about ten minutes before he opened his drawer and pulled out a satellite phone. After dialing a number, I waited quietly for the phone to be picked up.

"What, any important news?!" On the other end of the phone, the voice of the old man who had eaten with Statham last time rang. Statham held the phone and exhaled to make himself appear calmer.

Then he said, "Your Excellency, the old crow is still alive." He just called me and asked you to contact him. ”

On the other end of the line, Statham was met with a long silence. Even for a long time, if he didn't hear the sound of breathing, Statham thought that the other party had hung up. Statham didn't dare to hang up, he didn't dare until the other party hung up.

"I see." After a long time, the other party replied to him. Then, hang up the phone. Statham was silent, but he didn't put the phone away.

He waited, believing that the Lord would call him again. Lighting a cigarette, Statham silently took a few puffs. Today's smoke is a bit choking. But Statham's judgment was not wrong.

Half an hour later, his satellite phone rang. Statham picked it up and answered it when the phone rang a second time.

"Your Excellency......" Statham, who picked up the phone, was extremely respectful. On the other end of the phone, the old man's voice came, full of loneliness and depression: "Statham, how many years have you joined the company......

Statham was silent for a moment before he said softly, "About, it's been about twenty years......"

"In a blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed...... the old man on the other end of the phone seemed to be a little emotional: "I still remember that you were just a young man when you first passed the selection." A lot of internal information, so that you will be scared when you look at it. It's very timid......"

Statham seemed to recall that time, and said softly: "Yes, I remember that at that time, because I saw James Bond, I thought that the life of an agent was so colorful." After I got into the company, I realized that it wasn't exactly like that......"

"You are an excellent seedling, but unfortunately you were born at the ......wrong time," the old man on the other end of the phone sighed: "You have received the best training and become the best of those personnel." However, it is almost useless because our enemies have collapsed with a bang......"

Statham remained silent about the matter. The old man on the other end of the line didn't seem to think that Statham would say anything about it. He said to himself: "I still think that you are my best student!" ”

"Thank you." Statham accepted the compliment. The old man on the other end of the phone continued: "I always thought that you could come back after you had enough qualifications. Came back to take on some important positions, but what I didn't expect was ......"

But the old man on the other end of the phone said with a wry smile: "Just like the old saying in Huaxia, when the bird is shot, the best bow is hidden." ”

"The old men on Capitol Hill, the owners of the White House, think we're too much of an eyesore." The old man sighed and said, "I think we have too much authority, and we have to seep some sand and make some restrictions before they will be satisfied......

Statham's mouth was bitter. He knew that the old man did regard him as his heir, and even fought greatly for his position. However, reality has proven that this is not very useful.

Several of the company's top executives, the president did not appoint those elite intelligence officers who were promoted from within the company. Rather, it is a close confidant of the president. Many of them do not even understand the basics of intelligence work.

After the gradual retirement of a group of capable internal and field staff, those who were added in became more amateur......

It can be said that the real situation of the company is that it is getting worse and worse. What can be relied on is basically the support of Statham and other people who are not old or young, who have been trained and have many years of front-line experience.

That's why someone took advantage of the loophole and there was a big accident like 911. And after this happened, the newly established homeland security divided some of their authority. Just like back then, they divided the power of the Investigation Bureau.

But Director Hoover of the Bureau of Investigation at the time was strong enough. Efforts were made to retain most of the Bureau's authority. Although they ceded the right to foreign intelligence, they were given almost the highest authority in domestic investigations.

"This time...... We failed. The old man on the other end of the phone looked tired: "I'm really sorry, I dragged you in." ”

Statham exhaled deeply: "This is of my own free will, Your Excellency. Instead of going on in such a mess, it's better to do something directly. Even if I fail, it's my own choice! I am deeply grateful for your guidance and trust in me! ”
