United States.
California.
Under Tang Qing’s command, three warriors with Asian faces flew from various parts of the United States. Instead of gathering, they each drove around the city, modeling the city, calculating the optimal evacuation route and follow-up plan. Although the command room had models of various American cities, they needed to be re-adjusted due to the imminent task.
At the same time, support personnel had also prepared, ensuring the safety of the evacuation route and handling emergencies.
One hour later, the modeling was completed, detailed plans were devised, and the soldiers rushed to the vicinity of Ye Hong’s residence, each carrying out their preparations. They planned to act at night, as there were too many witnesses during the day, making the mopping-up operation troublesome.
Moreover, according to the surveillance network, not only was one person from the domestic trio being watched, but Ye Hong’s residence was also under real-time surveillance by the FBI. Even his home was under surveillance. Fortunately, it was remote surveillance, so there were many places where they could act.
There was video surveillance outside the house and eavesdropping devices inside the house.
This is a set of customary tactics for the American intelligence department.
A bit tricky, but all are trivial matters.
Success also lies in its making; defeat also lies in its making.
Since there were no FBI personnel nearby.
All this data was transported over the Internet to the FBI’s data analysis hall. All the eavesdroppers collected the information and converged on a nearby receiving device before being forwarded over the Internet. While combing through the surveillance, the analysts also found the data stream from that eavesdropping device.
This made Tang Qing couldn’t help but marvel at the power of modern spy equipment.
In a house not far from Ye Hong’s, which has been uninhabited for many years.
On the second floor.
A pair of eyes peered through the sparse curtains, staring intently at Ye Hong’s residence.
Wu Kai, twenty-six years old, a member of the overseas action bureau’s third division. He had come to the United States not specifically for Ye Hong, but rather as a planted agent waiting for various tasks from his superiors. He had been in the United States only a short time and had already completed four tasks, succeeding in three and failing in one. This success rate is quite high, given the capabilities of the American intelligence department.
Four days ago, he had received this escort mission and had been lurking in the area since, waiting for orders from home. He and a few colleagues would act according to plan.
But he was just a field operative; the one who was in direct contact with Ye Hong was not him.
He had initially thought that they would take action in a day or two, but suddenly he received an order from his superior saying that the operation was canceled. He was to keep a close watch and report anything he saw or any incidents that occurred. Wu Kai figured something must have happened, but he didn’t have the standing to know.
He could only keep a close eye on Ye Hong’s residence.
Twelve o’clock at night.
Inside Ye Hong’s house.
Although it was late, he simply could not sleep. He thought that his countrymen would take action within a couple of days and take him and his family back home, but he was suddenly informed in the morning that another team would be sent to fetch him. However, the timing was uncertain, and they had to be ready at all times.
The reason he was so anxious to return home was not because he had obtained any powerful virus or miracle drug to cure malignant diseases. If that were the case, the FBI would have constantly been watching him, and they would not have let him live here.
A private laboratory had approached him to join a biological research project. For the sake of secrecy and convenience, his family would move elsewhere and their freedom would be restricted.
At first, he didn’t think much of it. The most critical issue was that he had heard of this laboratory, which handled military research projects for the United States. As an industry insider, he had heard some rumors that he might never get out of there.
If he were an American, such a plan would probably not restrict his freedom, as there would be no need for betrayal. But it was different for foreigners. If it were not for the fact that all of Ye Hong’s family was here, he would not have been invited.
Of course, he refused in his heart, only saying he needed a week to consider, but the other party seemed indifferent, as if they were sure of winning him over. Ye Hong knew that even if he refused, they would make him agree.
So he quickly contacted the liaison officer. He had previously provided a lot of information and intelligence to his country free of charge. This was why he had stayed. But now, he didn’t want to stay in this country anymore.
He could foresee that his future life, apart from creating value for America, his fantasy to take the research results back home was just wishful thinking. With the tripartite surveillance from the FBI, the lab boss, and the American military, he, who is not a professional spy, had no way to continue delivering information and material to his home country.
Given these circumstances.
Why stay here.
Although he did not hold much hope for this evacuation operation, it was still a glimmer of hope. Since his countrymen had promised to escort him, there must be some certainty. The only thing he could think of was to smuggle out, and preferably by sea, as taking a plane was out of the question.
Knowing that his upcoming days would likely be spent either on the run or in a container, he couldn’t help but feel a bit disheartened.
Ye Hong sipped his coffee, bit by bit.
Just then.
"Ding Dong."
The computer’s notification sounded, and the computer, which had been in screensaver mode, switched to a black screen.
As Ye Hong looked.
He saw a line of text appear on his computer screen.
