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

"Gentlemen, welcome!"

Albert Smith, the head of the CIA's New York region, received Dunn and Payne with a grim look on his face.

After extending his hand and shaking hands with the two of them, he asked them to sit down.

"I believe you already know more or less about this mission before you come here, so I won't waste any more words. Tell me your Chinese level!"

It can be seen that Smith is a decisive person.

Payne looked at Smith with a confused look on his face. He had not received a private meeting with Welding Wire before coming, and he was not very clear about this mission.

But since Smith asked the question, he could only answer honestly.

"Mr. Smith! I can speak some common Chinese. I don't speak it well, but my listening is fine. As long as it's not a very foreign dialect, I can probably understand it!"

Smith nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Dunn.

"Sir, I am fluent in Chinese! Except for some dialects in southern China, which I cannot understand, I should be able to understand and speak most of what Chinese people say!"

Dunn said with great confidence that the CIA had records of his Chinese proficiency and had conducted a special investigation, so there was no point in hiding it.

"is it?"

The corner of Smith's mouth raised slightly, an attitude that Dunn disliked very much.

"It seems that Hans is talking about you! But that old guy likes to brag. How capable are you? I have to verify it!"

Smith took out a document from the drawer under the table and threw it in front of Dunn.

"Translate the above content for me right now!"

Dunn frowned slightly. He was disgusted by Smith's action, which was like throwing away garbage, but he still picked up the document in his hand and took a look.

What surprised Dunn was that this turned out to be the story of the three fights with the White Bone Demon in Journey to the West.

This made Dunn feel a little amused, but he still translated the above text word by word.

After Dunn finished translating, there was still no change on Smith's face. He picked up the phone on the table and made a call. Soon, a staff member came to the table with a recorder.

Smith gave Dunn and Payne each a piece of paper, played the recording in the tape recorder, and asked the two to translate it onto the paper.

This is also a very ordinary recording. It is a conversation between two people, both speaking Chinese. One uses a dialect roughly close to the Wu dialect, and the other speaks Northeastern dialect. The general content is that the two people ask each other where they are from, where they are going, whether they have eaten, and what they have eaten.

Both Dunne and Payne translated with ease.

After seeing the results of the two people's work, Smith nodded with satisfaction.

"It seems like you two are quite capable! At least that old guy Hans didn't send me two pieces of rubbish!"

After saying that, Smith took out two more documents and handed them to the two men. They were Professor Wu Lin's information.

The above introduces Wu Lin's life in detail, most of which is about his life after arriving in the United States. There are very few stories about his life in China. It only explains that he was close to the Red Party in China before coming to the United States.

The rest of the article is about his study experience in the United States and his work experience after graduation, as well as some stories about Wu Lin’s wife Wei Qiuyue.

"The news we received is that this Chinese man named Wu Lin just asked his wife to quit her job, and Wu Lin has not yet quit his job at the New York Agricultural Research Studio. But according to our prediction, he is very likely to leave the United States and return to China!"

Smith's expression remained serious and grim, as if his face had no other ability to express anything except this expression.

"Some time ago, our people went to their residence to install eavesdropping equipment, but they found out. In desperation, our people had to disguise themselves as thieves and escaped in a hurry! The plan to install eavesdropping equipment failed, but we can't let them go!

We must keep their words and actions under our control until their suspicion is completely eliminated!"

"So, sir, how do you plan to arrange for us?"

Dunn was relieved to hear that Smith's plan to have his agents install eavesdropping devices had failed. If the CIA had really installed a bug in Wu Lin's residence.

No matter how cautious and careful Wu Lin is, he will definitely tell a lot of secrets when he is with his wife at home.

"He has hired bodyguards now, so it would be difficult for our people to install eavesdropping equipment!

But we have thought of another way. Their phone has been monitored by us. Mr. Roger, I plan to let you monitor their call records. Most of his call records are in English, but a few are in Chinese. I think you can do this job!"

Payne simply nodded. He had no choice.

"Sir, I will try my best!"

“It’s not an effort, it’s a necessity!”

After hearing the word "effort", Smith frowned slightly and emphasized.

"Yes! I'll do it!"

Smith nodded with satisfaction and turned his gaze to Dunn.

"And Mr. Bartomani, we plan to have you apply for the job as his full-time driver! We just managed to revoke his license a while ago, and the bodyguards he hired are some local Chinese gang thugs. We have investigated and found that these people do not have driver's licenses! You must find a way to apply for this job, because you will have more than one or two competitors!"

Having said this, Smith paused slightly.

"Although we can try to prevent one or two of your direct competitors from applying for the job, we can't rely on this method. After all, we don't know what the Chinese man named Wu Lin prefers!"

"Don't worry! Mr. Batomani, I know what's going on!"

Dunn said confidently.

When he was young, his father took him to attend Professor Wu Lin’s birthday party.

But at that time, Dunn was still young and had only seen the elderly Professor Wu Lin from afar.

Although I have never had close contact with him, I know some of Professor Wu Lin's personality traits.

I really have to thank my father before I traveled through time, who was once a student of Professor Wu Lin.

"Are you so confident?"

Smith stared at Dunn with a sharp look.

"How confident are you?"

"I'm at least 60% sure! If I operate it properly, I should be 80% sure, but I can't say I'm 100% sure about this kind of thing."

Dunn didn't want Smith to force him to make a commitment.

So he had a slight understanding of Wu Lin's character, but who could be sure about such things?

"What do you mean by operating properly?"

Smith obviously also knows that it is unlikely for Dunn to give a 100% commitment, and even if Dunn can give it, he doesn't believe it.
