I'm a spy in the film

Half an hour later, in a 24-hour coffee shop in Manhattan's Central Square, Banning sipped his coffee, watched Bourne, who was sitting opposite him, close his phone, and said playfully:

"Has your little girlfriend been appeased?"

"Yes, it took a lot of effort!"

Bourne nodded reluctantly.

Today is the day when partner Ella returns from studying in Europe. It is also a good day for Bourne to release the energy he has accumulated over this period of time.

Bourne's attitude towards his partners has always been 'safety first, never casual', so since breaking up with his ex-girlfriends at school, his only regular friend now is Ella.

For this short reunion, Bourne specially booked a couple's suite at the Four Seasons Hotel. He had a great experience here a week ago and wanted to try it with Ella. This experience was indeed better than most hotels.

During the half-time break, the hotel front desk suddenly called. I thought it was a call for ordering food, but the front desk said that a black man was asking about Bourne's appearance and living conditions in the hotel in the lobby. The hotel staff found something strange and were about to call security, but the black man had already left. Finally, the hotel front desk reminded Bourne to be careful and recommended their own security service.

Black person?

Ask about your appearance and accommodation history?

Thinking of Vanessa and the other two girls a few days ago, Bourne suddenly became alert. He also recalled the vague feeling of being followed on the way to the hotel.

Ella was born into a wealthy family and was very sensitive to being "followed and tailed". Instead, she advised Bourne not to be careless and to contact the police immediately.

So the two of them packed up in a hurry.

Ella asked her bodyguard to come to the hotel, and Bourne himself called Captain Norton. He did not mention Vanessa, but just said that he seemed to be followed by someone, but the other party was very skilled and did not notice.

So, Bourne acted as bait, leaving the hotel alone to lure the other party to show up.

As expected, this person was coming for Bourne, because as soon as Bourne stepped out of the hotel, he realized that he was being followed.

This made Bourne feel relieved for Ella, but also annoyed that he was being followed.

Although I know that as long as I work in the FBI, this day will inevitably come, but when this day really comes, an emotion called anger still arises uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Captain Norton was very cautious and capable. He not only called on several people from Group 5 who were on duty in the bureau, but also dispatched a five-man special tactical team to quickly deploy defenses near the Four Seasons Hotel.

It was precisely because he knew that he had nearly 10 reliable comrades around him to protect him that Bourne dared to walk out of the hotel and use himself as bait. Otherwise, with Bourne's cautious character, he would not put himself in danger unless he was "crazy".

However, this measure, which seemed extremely safe to Bourne and Captain Norton, was defeated by the other side from the impossible point. From the time Bourne heard on the phone that Captain Norton and his men were attacked to the time he was stopped, it was only a minute.

In a short period of time, nine people including Captain Norton were knocked to the ground by the opponent. Even Bourne would have suffered the same fate as Captain Norton if he had not activated his crazy talent and danger perception and climbed to the top of the street lamp at the critical moment.

Although it was later discovered that Captain Norton and his men were only knocked unconscious, all their equipment was not lost.

"Still thinking about that guy?"

Seeing that Bourne was in a daze, Banning knew that he was still upset about the blow just now, so he comforted him:

"That guy is not an ordinary person. It's normal that you can't be his opponent. Don't take it to heart!"

Bourne had a sad face. "You make me feel even worse!"

"Hahaha!"

Banning laughed heartily.

Fortunately, it was late at night and there were no other customers in the cafe. There was only a waiter at the bar quietly wiping cups to the sound of warm music.

"Ace Stone, the Ultramarines. I came to New York following his son, Donnie Stone. I didn't expect to see his son, but his father!"

"Ace Stone? Ultramarines?"

The new names and terms left Bourne a little confused.

"Hey!" Banning seemed to be talking tonight. He said to himself, "Did you know about the Federal Reserve Bank robbery in Los Angeles a while ago?"

"Yeah!" Bourne nodded, "I heard that all the robbers were shot dead!"

"Tsk! All? Where did the money go?" Banning curled his lips in disdain. "The main culprit is Donny, the son of Ace Stone who attacked you tonight. I always thought he was a new one-legged thief, but when I met Ace tonight, I found out... What a pity for my two buddies, they died in vain!"

"Wait, Uncle Banning, why are they attacking us?"

Bourne could tell from Banning's words that this robbery worth thirty million dollars was not that simple, but that was not his focus. The focus was on the reason why he was followed and attacked tonight.

Banning became somewhat uninterested, but still answered: "Ace Stone and Dominic both belong to an organization called X-Force under the National Security Agency. The head of this organization is Augustus Gibb, who has cooperated with the Secret Service where I used to work. Today I saw Ace go to see Dominic's sister, the voodoo witch. I guess someone in your agency has offended them, so they want to teach you a lesson."

As he spoke, Banning stared at Bourne and warned him, "Boy, I know you have a strong sense of justice, but in this society, justice is not always right. Only the hardest fist is right! If it weren't for your deputy director's face, he would never have been so lenient this time."

Bourne looked at Banning in bewilderment, not understanding why this not-so-familiar acquaintance was speaking such profound words to a junior whom he had only met a few times tonight. But the next second, he understood.

"Your deputy director is very optimistic about you. Maybe we will work together soon. I have to see what kind of person she chooses first."

"Working together?" Bourne was even more confused.

"Ha ha!"

Banning didn't say much, just laughed, patted Bourne on the shoulder, stood up, and said: "I've seen it, I'm very confident in your character, but your skills are still lacking. Hurry up and upgrade to the second level, otherwise you will be cannon fodder if you come in!"

With that, he turned and walked out of the cafe. Bourne quickly paid the bill and rushed out, but Banning was no longer there.
