.It takes about six hours to fly from Karachi to Hong Kong.

After getting on the plane, Pang Yuelong found Li Xiaoming and wanted to call his home.

"Not now." Li Xiaoming said without agreeing to Pang Yuelong's request, "The frigate of the 'Bengbu' is still in the South China Sea, and it is around 10 am there now. If I remember correctly, the free time will be after dinner. When I arrive in Hong Kong, I will arrange time for you."

It was not that Pang Yuelong was unreasonable. After Li Xiaoming explained it, he sat back.

After the passengers sat down, the business plane drove onto the runway and taxied more than 1,000 meters before slowly taking off. After fifteen minutes, it reached a cruising altitude of 10,000 meters.

After the plane was leveled, Li Xiaoming let go of the seat belt and went to the bar to pour a glass of white wine.

"What do you want to drink?"

Mu Haoyang was looking at the blue sky outside the porthole, and when he heard Li Xiaoming's greeting, he turned around. "Whatever you want, just purify water."

"It's free, drinking pure water is not worth it." Li Xiaoming poured Mu Haoyang a glass of white wine, and then asked Pang Yuelong, who was lying on the chair, closed his eyes and resting, "What do you want to order?"

Pang Yuelong waved his hand, but his eyes didn't even open.

Li Xiaoming smiled and sat down next to Mu Haoyang with two glasses of wine. "This is the authentic Erguotou. If Lao Li hadn't come here in person, we would definitely not be able to drink it."

“Is this thing expensive?”

"It's not very expensive, but Pakistan is an Islamic country, and everyone bans alcohol." He handed Mu Haoyang a glass, and Li Xiaoming tasted it with his lips. "It's really good. Old Li loves this one when he arrived in Erguotou. You don't know that last time Lao Li went to Pakistan to do business, he forgot to bring two bottles when he went out, and then asked someone to bring them over. As a result, he encountered trouble at the customs. Finally, he asked the comrades from the embassy to help and took the two bottles of wine back."

"It's not that exaggerating, right?"

"Do you think I'm joking?" Li Xiaoming smiled and said, "Old Li is a low-key person, and it is impossible for him to come forward in person as his identity. Besides, there are not many people who know his identity."

"He's amazing?"

"Minister of the Second Department, what do you think?"

Mu Haoyang was shocked and looked at Li Xiaoming with some disbelief.

"Don't look at me like that. The Minister of the Second Department is also a human being, and he is not a monster with three heads and six arms."

"But I heard..."

"What's the point of hearing about?"

Mu Haoyang smiled and said, "I just didn't expect that the Minister of the Second Department was so ordinary, not like a legendary master at all."

"The first thing you do in our business is to have a face that is ordinary. For example, if you throw it into the crowd like me, you won't attract others' attention." Li Xiaoming looked at Mu Haoyang and said, "Although you don't look very good, when we stand together, others will definitely pay attention to you first, and not stare at me first."

Mu Haoyang rolled his eyes and did not joke with Li Xiaoming.

"I won't blow with you anymore. After drinking, I'll have a good sleep."

"By the way," Mu Haoyang called out to Li Xiaoming who was about to leave, and said, "We went to Hong Kong with you, but we didn't go to the frigate of the Bengbu. Isn't it okay?"

"What else can I do?"

"for example……"

"Are you worried that when the frigate enters the port, you are not on the frigate, and let others connect you with what happened in the Arabian Sea?"

Mu Haoyang nodded, indicating that this is what he meant.

"It's not bad. You have the qualities of being a spy. After a few years of training, you can become an excellent spy. Although it's not as good as me, it's not that bad."

"I'm serious and didn't joke with you."

"Don't worry, it's okay." Li Xiaoming patted Mu Haoyang on the shoulder and said, "Old Li made arrangements for you. No one knows that you are not on the frigate of the Bengbu."

“What arrangement?”

"I didn't ask, and there was no need to ask."

"But……"

"However, there are some fixed methods to deal with this kind of problem." Li Xiaoming sat down, "If I guess correctly, in a few days, when the Bengbu arrives in the northern waters of the South China Sea, the Navy will announce a message. The general content is that you, the officers and soldiers who have performed escort missions in the Gulf of Aden are very tired. After returning to Yulin Port, they will be closed and rested. If we haven't returned by then, you and Pang Yuelong will go to the hospital."

"Go to the hospital!?"

"For example, acute appendicitis."

Mu Haoyang widened his eyes and said, "Before joining the army, I cut off my appendix."

"Is that true?" Li Xiaoming smiled and said, "Then you have acute enteritis or other acute diseases. You have to stay in the hospital for ten days and half a month. When we come back from Taiwan, Lao Li will send someone to take you to the hospital. If you come back early, you can still collude with your nurse sister in the hospital."

"What if I come back late?"

"Then let the condition go back and forth. Anyway, you have to be isolated and treated. By the way, have you encountered pirates in the Gulf of Aden?"

"I have encountered it and arrested more than a dozen pirates, but they were all handed over to the Somali authorities."

"That's fine. Maybe you will get infected with some kind of weird disease on the African continent and must be isolated and treated, and you can't even see your family."

“Is it necessary to do this?”

“Is there a better way?”

Mu Haoyang sighed, he couldn't afford to play with these intelligence personnel.

"All right, don't think too much, just have a sleep. When we arrive in Hong Kong, we will stay for a long time. I will take you to Central at that time."

"what?"

"What are you doing?" Li Xiaoming widened his eyes, looking at Mu Haoyang as if he had seen an alien creature, and said, "You haven't been to Hong Kong?"

"Of course not, I'm not from the Hong Kong garrison."

"All right, it's useless to say it now. When you get there, you'll know."

Li Xiaoming did not talk to Mu Haoyang anymore, returned to his position and took out the laptop computer prepared by Li Guoqiang for him from his portable backpack.

It's still an Apple brand, you can tell it's expensive at a glance.

"You don't sleep?"

"I have something to do, don't worry about me."

Mu Haoyang didn't ask any more questions. He was interested in guns and knives. He usually couldn't touch a computer once a month, and most of the time he used military computers.

Li Xiaoming did not waste his time, so he had to send the action report to Li Guoqiang immediately.

When interrogating Roy Lynch, Li Xiaoming realized that there were many problems in Cia's assassination operation. It was not that the planning and organization were not strict enough, nor that the operation personnel were not strong enough, nor that the confidentiality work was not done properly, but that the action chain was too single.

How could such a major action be left to one person to complete?

Even though Lynch is only part of the entire plan, many people are doing the same thing with him, and according to the usual rules of the intelligence community, they all seem too single.

Any major intelligence operation requires a lot of people to participate.

Assassination of regional leaders is definitely a major intelligence activity.

Lynch can move alone, but helpers are absolutely indispensable, and others need to cover him. Only in this way can he deal with various unexpected situations, get him closer to the target, and complete a fatal blow.

With more than ten years of intelligence work experience, Li Xiaoming could see the problem at a glance.

However, on the "Shark", even living a life became a luxury. Li Xiaoming did not have the energy to think about this issue carefully, so he did not see the truth that he was wrapped up layer by layer by layer.

Inquiring about the truth is a delicate job of peeling off the thread and it takes a lot of energy and time.

After calming down, Li Xiaoming first thought that assassinating Taiwan’s “president” was not the ultimate goal of Cia, but to attract the attention of the Military Intelligence Bureau and cover up more important actions.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this possibility is very high.

But what an important action is worth covering with an assassination that can regress Sino-US relations for half a century?

Start a war against China?

It is certainly impossible. Both sides hold nuclear weapons that are enough to destroy the whole world. The two nuclear powers roll up their sleeves and fight, and the consequences are unimaginable.

Assassinating a national leader?

It is unlikely that the bodyguards around the national leaders are all first-class experts, and the security measures of the national leaders are many times higher than those of the Taiwan "President".

Conduct subversive activities?

Even more unlikely, mainland society is relatively stable, and the dissatisfaction caused by the financial crisis is still at the level of speech, and the army is loyal and has no audience for subversion.

None of these are, what are they?

Li Xiaoming wanted to break his head, but he couldn't even think of it.

There is nothing strange about him. He is just a director of the Second Department. He has been active outside for a long time and has received very limited confidential information.

There is only one thing that can be confirmed. Li Guoqiang knew the reason, at least he could think of it.

After writing the action report, Li Xiaoming no longer wasted his brains. After writing the worries in, he sent the action report that had been specially encrypted to Li Guoqiang's email.

Because the triple encryption algorithm was used, the text was first translated into secret words used by senior intelligence personnel of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and then a unique algorithm was used to compile it into garbled code. Finally, it was recoded using algorithms that only Li Xiaoming and Li Guoqiang mastered. Therefore, even if the US intelligence agency intercepted the email and knew that it was an intelligence letter, and even mastered two decryption methods, it could not be deciphered.

To master all the decryption methods, you have to pry open the mouths of Li Xiaoming or Li Guoqiang.

After turning off the computer, taking out the memory and hard disk, and using an electrostatic sensor to destroy the information inside, Li Xiaoming lying on the seat wrapped in a blanket and fell asleep.

Since you can't figure it out, there is no need to think more.

Li Xiaoming is not the kind of person who can't let go. He can't let go even if he does this job, otherwise he would be finished long ago.

Two hours later, the plane began to descend.

Mu Haoyang, Pang Yuelong and Li Xiaoming woke up at the same time.

When the three of them finished sorting out, the plane began to turn and aimed at the runway of Hong Kong International Airport. There were several flights nearby, waiting in line to land.

Seeing that Hong Kong was right in front, Mu Haoyang and Pang Yuelong were a little excited.

Neither of them came to Hong Kong and they always wanted to come to Hong Kong.

If it weren't for not saving enough money, my girlfriend had booked a fundraising house in the unit and needed to make up enough down payment, Mu Haoyang would not choose to take his girlfriend to Guilin.

Pang Yuelong is even more financially struggling. His two sisters and a younger brother are still studying. The youngest is just in high school and the oldest is in graduate school. They all rely on their elder brother. Last year, in order to raise the first year of college tuition for his second sister, Pang Yuelong borrowed 8,000 yuan from Mu Haoyang, but has not paid it back yet.

It is worth it to be able to come to Hong Kong without spending money, even if it is only half a day.
