"I don't care how you knew that bank card, and I don't care how you changed the password. I want to ask you something now," James looked at Sherron with piercing eyes, "Did Vigo invite you to join us?" He went to Antarctica"
"That's right."
Xie Lun nodded curtly.
Sherron was not at all curious about James learning about this. After all, as the top secret agent in the United States, it is easy for him to obtain this kind of information.
Maybe it was Vigo who leaked the news.
James struck a match again, lit the cigarette, and frowned: "What are your plans?"
Xie Lun shrugged: "Go to 50 million, make sure old Vigo comes back alive, and give another 50 million. I have no reason to refuse such a good deal."
"Just because of this, just because of money," James frowned, "I think you don't need to worry about money now."
Xie Lun smiled lightly: "I can't help it, the other side gave me too much."
James sighed and said, "Can you do me a favor?"
Xie Lun shook his head neatly: "No."
"Why is there no danger? It's just a matter of convenience."
"Tch, there is danger hidden in every word you say." Xie Lun looked around, "Maybe you are secretly videotaping and recording now."
"How is it possible? Am I as sinister as you think?"
James smiled guiltily, flicked his cigarette ashes, and said, "To tell you the truth, we actually discovered the pyramid that Vigo discovered as early as the last century."
"It was at the peak of the Cold War. In order to compete for hegemony, we and the polar bear in the east were fighting openly and secretly in every corner of the world, even the two poles frozen thousands of miles away."
"It was at that time that we discovered the ancient ruins hidden under the thick ice in Antarctica. But before we could launch an investigation, the polar bears also discovered it. After several exchanges of fire, no one could do anything to the other, so they had to Shake hands and make peace, and temporarily form a team to investigate the ruins together."
Xie Lun waited for a moment, and seeing that James had nothing to say, he spread his hands and said, "What's behind?"
"No more." James smiled bitterly, "The joint investigation team was completely wiped out and no information was returned. After that, although the two countries sent people separately, no valuable information was obtained."
"That place was like a black hole. All the people and things that went in never came out." James sighed, "Then the polar bear lay down and the Cold War ended. We also need to maintain such huge military expenditures and countless secrets The funding for the project was cut, and the project to investigate the ruins naturally came to nothing."
"I didn't expect that after so many years, Vigo would discover that place again and even form an expedition team. So I want you to share some information with me when you come back."
Xie Lun let out a long sigh and shook his head with a mixture of sorrow and anger: "Outsiders are outsiders, and they can be cruel. They clearly know that the place is a place of death, so they don't dissuade them, but they still want to use me to get information for you. Ah, my Heart hurts"
Seeing Xie Lun's distressed look, James said calmly: "How about the position of senior detective in NIA?"
The sad and angry expression on Xie Lun's face disappeared in an instant, and he said categorically: "Don't give me any help. At least it's a senior detective with real authority."
James took a breath and said, "You have a big appetite. A senior detective with real authority is equivalent to the deputy director of the branch. You are not afraid of dying on your own."
Xie Lun raised his legs and said with a nonchalant expression: "I don't care, you can figure it out on your own. Anyway, I don't care. At worst, I don't want the 100 million U.S. dollars and I won't go to Antarctica. What can you do to me?"
"I really can't get you a senior detective in charge of real power. But" James chuckled, "I'll get you one. How about the title of the special investigator of the National Defense Department, which is equivalent to a major. Our National Defense Department will follow the rules. At the level of major, you will be given a stipend.”
Xie Lun was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked around, and lowered his voice: "You want to transfer me to the National Defense Department?"
"It's impossible for NIA to let you go," James shook his head with a weird smile on his face, "but NIA was born out of the National Defense Department, and many people in the department have military backgrounds. For example, your aunt is The rank of major general, and your director William is a four-star general, so it’s not a big deal for you to work part-time as a major-level special investigator.”
Sherron tapped his fingers on the table out of habit: "Tell me the truth, James, what exactly do you want to do to be raptured, the South Pole, or the pyramids? I know you don't take those things to heart at all."
"Who said that? I'm just curious." James touched his nose, coughed a few times, and lowered his voice: "Okay, I'll give you a clue. I know what you mainly deal with after becoming a special agent. They are all abnormal cases. However, these abnormal phenomena did not just appear recently. Maybe their history may be longer than the emergence of human beings."
"In the past, due to the underdeveloped information media, many abnormal phenomena could be easily covered up. But with the emergence of online media, it has become increasingly difficult to cover up."
"In the past, when dealing with this abnormal phenomenon, each department worked independently. For example, NIA is the Serious Case Team 6 led by you. And our National Department is the Special Investigation Bureau. But I can be sure that as time goes by, this This kind of thing cannot be covered by paper, and sooner or later it will be completely exposed to the public."
"Then what will we do then?"
James looked at Sherron quietly.
Xie Lun frowned: "Then let's do it openly and openly."
James nodded approvingly: "Yes, once that time comes, the government can only merge all organizations like the Six Serious Case Groups and form an upright unit organization."
With that said, James pointed to Sherron: "At that time, it will be your time to take charge."
"Ha" Xie Lun scratched his hair, "Your plan is a bit premature."
"Not early, not at all early, maybe even a little late." James shook his head and said earnestly, "Your father often said something before his death, if you don't worry about the long term, you will be worried about the near future. Such a transfer of power, In fact, when you entered nia, Hollis and I had already started planning."
"If there are no accidents, this year or next year, I will go one step further and become the second-in-command of the National Affairs Department, and the minister of the National Affairs Department within five years. And your aunt Hollis, hopefully, will become the second-in-command of NIA within five years. Strive to be promoted to the director of nia before retirement."
"And by that time, you will also grow up and play an important role in dealing with abnormal phenomena. Once there is an opportunity, we can easily push you to a high position in the newly established department."
James smiled: "Of course, the above is just our plan, and the actual operation will definitely be more complicated. But the only prerequisite is that you must have more dazzling results, a richer resume, and a more solid position."
"There is an even more invincible force"
Xie Lun added something in his mind and nodded: "I understand, uncle."
James nodded with satisfaction: "Just understand our good intentions, Sherron. Sherelle is a girl after all, and the future of our family can only rest on you."
Xie Lun also nodded: "So the information I obtained from the Antarctic Pyramid this time will play a key role in your promotion to the second-in-command of the National Defense Department."
James curled his lips: "You kid, don't tell me if you see through it. It's really getting more and more unlovable."
At this time, the closed door of the study room was suddenly pushed open, and Sherrel ran in angrily. Hollis's roar came from behind: "Even if you call your grandparents from your hometown today, this matter I won’t agree either.”
