The Cold War: Jumping back and forth between the two camps

"If there are customers who come to the pub very regularly every few days, you should pay attention to them. If there are such customers, please save their photos!"

"Okay, sir!"

After hearing Dunn's request, the two people answered in unison. After instructing the two people, Dunn left the apartment with peace of mind.

Since Bass is most likely an agent sent by the Red Empire, he will always have contact with other agents, his colleagues or his superiors and subordinates. These people cannot meet often, so it is very likely that they meet at fixed times.

If there really is a customer who comes once every few days, then he is definitely a major suspect.

Even if Valenko cannot be found, some other Red Empire agents will definitely be investigated.

Now that we have already started monitoring Bass, it would be convenient to investigate these agents.

After leaving the apartment, Dunn quickly hailed a taxi and returned to the CIA's New York branch.

There was nothing to report today, so Dunn quickly came out of Smith's office and went home with Payne.

Early the next morning, they took Wu Lin to work again. Since Kang Aimei joined the company, Wei Qiuyue no longer went out to buy groceries. All this work was done by Kang Aimei every day.

Kang Aimei would buy the day's groceries at the morning market in Chinatown before coming to work every morning, saving Dunn the need to pick her up to go grocery shopping.

This time, Wu Lin spoke as soon as Dunn started the car and got on the road.

"I have prepared a commentary criticizing some of the mainland's policies, and I will publish it with a few professors tomorrow!"

"So fast?"

Dunn smiled. What a coincidence! The Central Youth Bureau had just proposed to publish some criticisms of mainland policies in the newspapers and asked Wu Lin to comment on them.

"Let's postpone it for two days!"

"it is good!"

After hearing Dunn's suggestion, he postponed the publication for two days. Wu Lin agreed without asking why. From this point of view, Wu Lin still had absolute trust in Dunn.

Dunn explained directly.

"Tomorrow the New York Times will publish a political article criticizing the mainland's land reform policy. I think a reporter from the newspaper will come to interview you soon. When the time comes, just publish this critical article!"

"You took the lead in this, didn't you?"

Wu Lin was stunned for a moment and then asked, he also felt it was a bit of a coincidence.

"You think too highly of me. Some people in the New York branch have lost patience with you and want to thoroughly confirm your position. You should know that the CIA still has a lot of things to do. Too much manpower and material resources have been spent on you!"

"is it?"

Wu Lin smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"I am just a small agronomist. It is such an honor for me to be able to involve so much energy from the CIA!"

Dunn could hear the sarcasm in Wu Lin's tone, but he didn't care.

However, on the surface, he still has to stand on the side of the CIA and pretend to do it.

"There's nothing we can do! If you really don't go back to the mainland, then everything we did would be a waste. But the problem is that you are going back, which means that everything we did was meaningful. It's just a pity that you met me!"

Wu Lin also knew that his tone just now was a bit bad, so he sighed and said.

"Your prejudice against us is too deep!"

"I don't want to discuss the issue of our position, but Professor Wu, I am a little curious. As far as I know, your family also owns a lot of real estate in the mainland. The land reform policy in the mainland is going to take back your land. Don't you feel bad at all?"

Dunn also used a sarcastic tone, and on the surface it seemed that he wanted to get back some face for what Wu Lin had just said.

"It would be a lie to say I don't feel bad! But compared to the prosperity of the country, what does a little land mean?"

"Okay! Professor Wu, I really admire you for this. If it were me, I would really be reluctant to do so!"

Dunn smiled and spoke in a much softer tone. He really admired Wu Lin.

In the following time, the two did not talk about this topic again. After sending Wu Lin to the place, Dunn drove to the apartment opposite the pub again.

Blake and the other man had already prepared the photos taken yesterday, and they handed them to Dunn as soon as Dunn entered the room.

There are not many photos, only four or five.

It’s a bit of a pity that the people in the photos are not Valenko.

But Dunn was not in a hurry. He thought he could find Valenko in a day or two. He put away the photos, said a few words to the two men, and then left.

After returning home in the evening, I went to Victor's apartment first, gave the photos to Victor, and asked Victor to investigate the people in the photos.

Although things are troublesome now, he can only do this. He certainly cannot use the power of the CIA to investigate Bass. If he does that, everything will be out in the open, and it will be impossible for him to take any other action.

Moreover, Dunn knew that after Wu Lin made critical comments about mainland China's policies, the mainland would quickly fight back, and Wu Lin's suspicion would most likely be cleared, and his job as Wu Lin's driver would soon come to an end.

As long as the subsequent work is arranged for him to be easier, he will have plenty of time to investigate Valenko's case.

He can even form his own team, and CIA intelligence officers can recruit agents from outside to work for him.

But before that, the only one he could rely on was Victor, and according to the previous agreement, he was also planning to develop Victor and Zhang Dezhong into his own team.

The next day, the New York Times published a critical article on mainland China's land reform policy on its front page.

This article did not attract the attention of the American people. For ordinary people, few people pay attention to defeating China on the other side. In their eyes, China is still that poor and backward, even a barbaric country with pigtails.

It was not until the Korean War next year that China would give the United States a good look.

During the day, Dunn finished his job as Wu Lin's family's driver. When he returned to the Central Youth Bureau to report to Smith, Smith also asked a few more questions.

"Did Wu Lin see the article in the New York Daily News today?"

"When I took him to work, he was reading the newspaper. He was reading the article in the New York Daily News. I thought he read it very carefully!"

Dunn replied expressionlessly.

"How did he react?"

Smith was obviously more concerned about this issue, and after asking the question, his eyes were fixed on Dunn.

"It's hard to say! Most Chinese people are introverted and won't show their emotions on the surface. But I can see that his face is not very good. He usually talks to me on the way to work, but today when he was reading the newspaper, he didn't say a word to me until I sent him to work!"

"Does that mean he is disappointed with the mainland now?"

Wu Lin was not disappointed with the mainland, Dunn didn't know, but he was sure that Smith was very disappointed now.
