Chapter Eleven: The Terminally Ill Agent
The night slipped away quietly, and it was dawn.
The tiny sunlight leaked in from the attic's ventilation window, and tiny golden dust floated in the air, twisting on the spacious and soft white window curtain.
"Good morning."
Vivian stood up with his arms and greeted him with a smile.
"……morning."
Bai Jinglan grabbed his head and felt a little ashamed.
Although he knew that this woman had a lot of acting, he was still defeated by beauty.
Vivian seemed to have seen something interesting, her long light golden hair hanging down on her chest like a waterfall, and she laughed: "Little man, you are still as shy as before, in front of me."
Bai Jinglan refused to answer her words: "When will I go to see that agent?"
Vivian chuckled proudly, and did not tease him anymore. She turned to look at the alarm clock: "It should be just right now."
"Then clean up and get ready to go!" Bai Jinglan didn't say nonsense.
Vivian was still wearing the black corset and trousers, but she added a black women's windbreaker outside, which made her look more heroic and cool in her charm.
Outside the door, Glenn had already prepared the car and the information he needed.
Bai Jinglan sat in the passenger seat and asked her: "Where are you going?"
“Flushing.”
Vivian skillfully fired and was running lightning on the long street, regardless of whether he would violate the rules or not.
CIA executives are so willful.
Her driving skills are very good, comparable to professional racing drivers. She doesn't have to worry about overturning the car in the middle. The violations are also handled by CIA logistics, so Bai Jinglan doesn't care about her and reads the information on his own.
Before reading the two pages, Bai Jinglan was shocked: "This agent is suffering from a terminal illness and has only two months left to live. You even want to pull him out to fight terrorists. Isn't the CIA human? "
"As the gun in the hands of the official palace, CIA is not human, but... it is my idea to recall Agent Ethan Reiner to work." Vivian gave him a blank look, "You have to understand that there are many elite agents in CIA. Ethan Reiner's achievements are indeed excellent, but he is not indispensable, and his status is too low, so after finding out that he had a brain tumor, it has no value for CIA. He can only get out with a meager pension, but I helped him find the value again."
Bai Jinglan: "So what?"
Vivian tilted his head: "So, he can get a drug that is still in the trial stage that can relieve or even cure his brain tumor."
"Testing phase?"
Bai Jinglan curled his lips, it was unreliable no matter how you listened.
Vivian showed a beautiful poppy smile again: "If you don't use this medicine, he can only live for two months at most. If you use this medicine, he has at least a 30% chance of living. What do you think he will choose?"
"All right."
Bai Jinglan was speechless.
Flushing is an area in Queens. In recent years, more and more Chinese people live here, gradually forming a new "Chinatown". There are a wide range of Chinese characters and markets that are just like the country. Most of the people coming and going are black hair and yellow skin. From time to time, you can hear shouts and sales with domestic characteristics.
Bai Jinglan feels very friendly. There are Asian settlements in Brooklyn, but the atmosphere is much worse than here. Moreover, most of the Chinese in Brooklyn are descendants of the south, with the language mainly Chaoshan dialect, while most of the Chinese in Flushing are immigrants from the north, with the language mainly Mandarin.
After Vivian got off the car, she walked straight to a seafood stall.
In front of the seafood stall, a middle-aged man in plain clothes was clumsyly selecting tuna, asking the boss: "Is this fish fresh?"
"Of course, it was salvaged in the morning."
"This fish can be steamed, right?"
Before the boss could answer, Vivian walked over and said casually: "Don't forget to bubble in the milk."
"milk?"
Ethan Reiner obviously didn't know Vivian and thought about her proposal in a daze.
Vivian shrugged: "Unless you plan to fry it, you don't have to make milk."
Ethan smiled: "I haven't thought so much yet."
"I like men who don't pretend to know cooking very well."
Vivian threw a charming look at Bai Jinglan, and Bai Jinglan rolled his eyes. His cooking skills were indeed not good, but they were not that bad. Moreover, when he was in the small shop these days, he also practiced his cooking skills intentionally or unintentionally. With his physical control that was far beyond ordinary people, he asked himself that the things he made were still good.
"Then you've found the right person."
Ethan looked at the amazingly charming Vivian, and his vicissitudes of vision were calm.
Even when he was healthy, he was not a lustful person, let alone now that he is about to die of illness.
"Thanks to your tip, I'll make fried for my daughter."
Ethan bought the tuna with the money and turned around to leave. Vivian naturally continued: "Today is Zoe's lucky day?"
Zoe is his daughter's name.
Ethan's expression finally changed. He turned around and looked at Vivian carefully. There was a hint of nervousness in his vicissitudes of life: "Madam, what's your name?"
"You can call me Vivi."
"I'm very happy to meet you, Vivi..."
Ethan seemed to have confirmed Vivian's identity, and the tension quickly turned into indifference, "But I'm not interested!"
When he woke up in a coma while chasing the criminal, his boss announced on the spot that he was not suitable to serve the CIA anymore, which means that he worked hard for the CIA for the rest of his life, and even neglected his wife and daughter for this. He lost too much, but in the end he only lost a small amount of pension.
Vivian was surprised at the indifference in Ethan's words. She took out a watch from her pocket and shook it in front of the middle-aged man: "Maybe we can talk."
Ethan's body froze for a moment, reached out to pick up the watch, with a complicated expression: "This is given to me by my wife."
He kept the watch strap he gave to his wife by his side, but when he was chasing Abino, he accidentally lost it on the beach by the beach.
For this job and to protect the safety of his family, he traveled almost all year round and had a tense relationship with his family, but he loved his family deeply.
Vivian waved to Bai Jinglan: "Let's go, baby, let's go for a ride."
Ethan turned his head to look at Bai Jinglan, then looked at Vivian, pondered for a moment, patted the bicycle on hand, and said, "We can talk, but we have to bring my bicycle."
Vivian shrugged and smiled: "When we finish talking, you will see your bike."
Once again, Bai Jinglan got into the driver's seat, Vivian was in the passenger seat, and Ethan was sitting in the back seat, unable to help but ask, "Who are you playing for?"
Bai Jinglan said lightly: "I am just a bounty hunter, just playing for myself."
In the United States, bounty hunters are legal professions. Like police, they only need to go through a short training to obtain legal documents.
Bai Jinglan recorded his profession in CIA and is an excellent bounty hunter.
"Bounty Hunter?" Ethan was surprised. Could it be that he was wrong?
"I found White."
Vivian turned his head and smiled, "I play for the CIA Director."
Ethan snorted: "I don't know the leader."
Bai Jinglan drove the car onto the highway and asked Vivian: "Where will be going this time?"
“No. 117 Mulberry Street.”
Vivian said an address, then turned his head and said, "In Serbia, I am following the wolf. We think he was in the hotel that day, and I think you may have seen him. If you see him again, you should be able to recognize him...I hope you work for me."
"Impossible, I've made arrangements."
Ethan answered without any hesitation. He was already like this and just wanted to spend more time with his family before he died.
"Don't you want to spend more time with Zoe, not just a few months?" Vivian handed him a beautiful wooden box with a confident smile. "In reward, I will give you a experimental drug that can prolong your life...Ethan, are you interested?"
“…”
Ethan took the wooden box and opened it. There was an injection inside. He was silent for a moment, "Where is the text? It's the test result."
“Here.”
Vivian handed over a bunch of information, all of which were prepared by Glenn.
Ethan flirted with the information and asked, "Why didn't anyone tell me before?"
"Because you are not worthy of treatment." Vivian's answer was heartbreaking, "But you were not worth it before, but now you are worth it."
"Why?"
"Because you are sick, people with terminal illness care nothing." Vivian looked at him, "I have the ability to do a lot, but only you can help me find the wolf, find him, kill him, and White will help you."
Ethan's voice was full of self-deprecating: "Care him to redeem his life?"
"yes."
Vivian smiled like a flower, but probably in Ethan's opinion, she was just a beautiful snake.
"arrive."
Bai Jinglan parked the car on the side of the road. Vivian pointed to the building outside and said to the hesitant Ethan: "There is someone inside, he works for the wolf's accountant. I want you to start immediately, grab him, and ask about the wolf's whereabouts."
Ethan licked his dry lips: "I'm still in a hurry to go home and fry fish..."
Vivian took out a Bereta pistol, installed a silencer and handed it to him: "If you are fast enough, you will not miss your lunch."
Ethan couldn't resist the desire to survive after all, and sighed and took the pistol: "How many people do I want to kill?"
"one."
"All right."
Ethan got off the car and walked into the building.
"It seems like there is more than one person inside."
Bai Jinglan's five senses are extremely sensitive, and he is no less than Daredevil's. He can tell the number of people inside just by hearing.
There is definitely more than one person on that floor, and it has a strong smell of gun oil. If he wants to catch that person and interrogate, he will probably have an unparalleled battle.
Vivian took out a lady's cigarette and lit it, and said lightly: "He felt soft after he was retired. Well, maybe because of his daughter, this is not a good thing for the agents, especially when facing terrorists, I have to let him review his past memories... Also, I have to test how much his illness has affected him, otherwise it may drag you down when acting."
