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

"50 yuan!"

Valenko said with a smile.

After hearing the price, Zhang Dezhong immediately frowned.

After seeing Zhang Dezhong's expression, Valenko knew that he might find the price unacceptable, so he immediately added.

"This fishing rod is the best fishing rod in our store, so there is no way it is more expensive. I have to make some money. But if your fishing skills are good enough, I can recommend you another fishing rod with a better price-performance ratio!"

"Take it out and let me see!"

Zhang Dezhong put down the fishing rod in his hand and said with interest.

Valenko bent down and took out another fishing rod from the bottom of the counter and placed it on the table. This time the fishing rod was not so complicated, and the packaging was only in a simple plastic bag.

Zhang Dezhong picked up the fishing rod that Valenk had just taken out, looked at it, and said with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

"This fishing rod is much worse!"

"It is indeed much worse than the one just now!"

Valenko admitted it openly.

"But it's only $15! If you use the right techniques, the heaviest fish you can catch will definitely not be much lighter than the fishing rod you used just now! I can even give you a copy of my fishing tips!"

"It seems that the boss is also an expert!"

Zhang Dezhong smiled, continued to look at the fishing rod in his hand and checked it carefully, and finally nodded.

"Okay, then I'll take this cheaper one, but boss, you have to give me some fishing line and bait as a gift, is that okay?"

"No problem at all!"

Seeing that the deal was done, a smile appeared on Valenko's face.

"This time I will give you some bait, fishing line and fish hooks. If you are willing to come to my shop for a long time, I can give you discounts in the future!"

"Okay! Boss, you're so generous! I'll use your fishing rod later. If it's really useful, I'll get all my fishing tools from you in the future!"

Zhang Dezhong paid the money happily.

"Customers can also leave their address and give me a call if they need anything in the future. I can deliver the goods to their door!"

After Valenko packed the fishing rod and the gifts, he took out a small notebook, put it on the counter and said to Zhang Dezhong.

Zhang Dezhong nodded, picked up the pen, and wrote his name and address on the notebook.

Valenko also handed a business card to Zhang Dezhong.

"Well, see you later, boss!"

Zhang Dezhong picked up the fishing gear, said goodbye to Valenko and left the fishing tackle store.

After leaving the fishing tackle shop, Valenko continued to sit in his seat, reading the newspaper leisurely. He really didn't see anything wrong with Zhang Dezhong, and Zhang Dezhong really came here to buy something sincerely.

Zhang Dezhong, who had just left the fishing tackle store, walked two blocks and got into a Chevrolet sedan.

He handed the business card in his hand to the person in the driver's seat.

The young man in the driver's seat picked up the business card, read the content on it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Oderico Tadesse, is that your new name?"

"Dun, is there really something wrong with the owner of that fishing tackle shop? I think he's just an ordinary guy, and he knows a lot about fishing!"

Zhang Dezhong asked doubtfully.

"There's no mistake. I saw him when I was in the Red Empire! He is a spy sent by the Red Empire!"

Dunn said firmly.

"A spy from the Red Empire?"

Zhang Dezhong was shocked.

"You only told me before that he had a problem!"

Thinking about the fact that he had talked so much to a spy sent by the Red Empire, and that he had the purpose of investigating the other party, Zhang Dezhong couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Haha! Clay, don't be nervous! The reason I didn't tell you the truth is so that you can act more naturally. And when it comes to fishing knowledge, no one among us can compare to you. This task is just right for you!"

Seeing Zhang Dezhong's appearance, Dunn couldn't help but laugh, and reached out and patted Zhang Dezhong's shoulder again.

"Don't be nervous. Spy stuff sounds high-end, but it's just that simple. He's definitely more afraid of his identity being exposed than you are! Clay! Now that you know my identity, I'll need you to do something that will probably involve dealing with all kinds of spies. If you're scared, it's not too late to quit now!"

"I didn't say I was scared!"

Zhang Dezhong, feeling that he was being despised, became tough in his tone.

"It's just that you should tell me the truth so that I can be mentally prepared!"

"Didn't I just tell you? I'm not telling you because I want you to behave more naturally! When you come into contact with that kind of person in the future, just stay in the same state as today, so that he won't get suspicious. I believe you know a lot about fishing, so you should have a lot in common when talking to him!"

Seeing the change in Zhang Dezhong's tone, Dunn was actually quite relieved. He was afraid that Zhang Dezhong would hesitate after knowing the truth. If he really backed down, Dunn really couldn't find another suitable person to contact Valenko.

"Should I go to his shop more often in the future? Should I collect evidence of his spying?"

Zhang Dezhong asked, and he quickly got into the role. As long as he could help Dunn, his rewards in the future would definitely be generous.

"You don't have to do anything. Just get in touch with him more often and make friends with him! Don't try to search for any evidence from him. People like him are much more professional than you, and I'm not in a hurry to close the net. Don't tell anyone else about this. Only you and I know about this. Don't let anyone else know. You just need to help me keep a close eye on Tadesse!"

Zhang Dezhong nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, Dunn, I can definitely handle this!"

Seeing Zhang Dezhong's confident look, Dunn said nothing and asked about another matter.

"How's your investigation going on with that matter?"

"We've already found out about their shipping routes, and we can start anytime! Their next shipment will probably be this Saturday!"

When talking about this topic, Zhang Dezhong seemed particularly cautious. He looked out the car window to confirm that there was no one near the car before speaking.

"When can we meet to discuss a concrete plan of action?"

"Let's do it tonight. We have to act quickly. After we complete this operation, we won't be short of money for a long time!"

Dunn also put away the smile on his face, looked at the somewhat excited Zhang Dezhong, and shook his head helplessly.

You have to know that what they are about to do is much more dangerous than exposing Zhang Dezhong and Valenko to danger. However, Zhang Dezhong is a little scared, while Valenko, as a spy of the Red Empire, has no fear at all about the impending danger. It is true that interests can make people crazy.
