Chapter 1,284 Take the initiative to join(2/2)
But in his mind, he doesn't think Asians have much ability.
But because the other party had saved his life before, and Zhang Pin had told him the information about the intelligence broker Max, so Ethan still opened the door.
"Hey, who is this?"
Zhang Pin doesn't have the ability to read minds, so he naturally doesn't know what Ethan is thinking. However, he can see that Ethan seems to be a little wary. He is not surprised by this and thinks that the other party is worried that someone else will come.
After coming in, when he saw Claire, he also showed some doubts.
"This is Claire, one of my teammates."
Ethan briefly introduced Zhang Pin, and then chose to remain silent, obviously preparing Zhang Pin to explain his purpose.
"Hey, you said before that the reason why Kittredge suspected that you were a mole was because you were the only one in your team who survived. Now it seems that there are other survivors in your team, and you are sure that you are not a mole, then
"
Zhang Pin, however, was not in a hurry to explain his purpose, but raised another question.
Upon hearing Zhang Pin's words, Claire's expression suddenly changed.
"The mole can't be Claire!"
But before she could find a reason, Ethan had already taken the initiative and shook his head.
"If she is a traitor, she will not be able to come back now."
Ethan is really sure that Claire is not an undercover agent.
The reason why he is so sure is that he knows the details of Claire.
Ethan has been working in Langley for many years. An intelligence team like theirs usually needs to do some infiltration or undercover work, or even replace other people's identities to act as the opponent, so the tacit understanding between the team members is also very important.
Generally speaking, there are usually four team members, and as long as there are no accidents along the way, the members of a team will usually cooperate until they retire.
Ethan has joined the current intelligence team since he was selected as an elite operations team member when he entered Langley.
Their team is a little different from ordinary teams, that is, there are not four members, but five.
There are naturally some reasons for this.
The reason is also very simple, that is, Claire actually joined later.
The most fundamental reason why the other party became a member of this team is because she is the wife of Jim, the team leader.
Before Claire married Jim, he didn't even work in Langley.
Moreover, Claire has only been in the team for a short time and does not match the mole's movement trajectory.
Because of these facts, Ethan had previously only suspected whether Claire was the Mission Impossible spy that Kittredge had placed in the team, and did not suspect that the other party was a mole.
"It's hard to say."
Zhang Pin had different opinions on Ethan being so sure of Claire's identity.
But after thinking about it, he did not continue to argue with the other party.
"It's like this. I got some news from you before, but later I found out that these chips didn't seem to be enough, so I thought about finding some heavier chips, and it happened to be you, a former employee of Langley.
Now, I’m wondering if there are any opportunities for cooperation.”
The reason why Zhang Pin suddenly changed his mind is actually very simple.
The agreement between Albert and him was very simple. The other party only wanted Zhang Pin to help find Langley's mole, and the evidence to prove the mole must be sufficient.
Albert didn't have any requirements on how Zhang Pin could achieve this goal.
Therefore, after Zhang Pin agreed to the other party's request, he did not contact Kittredge, who was currently investigating the mole, but directly approached Ethan.
Originally, he wanted to get some information from Ethan about the opponent's old captain, Jim.
After all, he had seen with his own eyes before that the guy named Jim jumped off the bridge on his own initiative.
So he can be sure that the other party is the mole.
But now seeing that there was suddenly a teammate beside Ethan, Zhang Pin did not choose to tell his purpose directly.
When Ethan introduced his experience to them before, he also introduced the team members by the way.
Although there was no photo, Zhang Pin guessed that the current woman should be the wife of the mole Jim.
Since Jim is a mole, Sir Zhang will definitely not believe how innocent his wife is.
So if he said now that he wanted to investigate Jim, not only would he not get the information he wanted, but he would also expose himself.
"Cooperation, how are your computer skills?"
After hearing what Zhang Pin said, Ethan did not refuse immediately.
He has now been removed from Langley's list, and he also wants to go to Langley headquarters to steal the list of European undercover agents.
In order for the operation to be successful, Ethan naturally needs someone to help him.
His original plan was to find some people who had also been expelled from Langley, and then find a way to persuade them.
In this case, whether it is finding a suitable helper or convincing the other person, it is a very difficult thing for Ethan.
So now someone like Zhang Pin, who was a semi-acquaintance, and someone with a common goal, proposed to join. Naturally, Ethan did not choose to refuse immediately, but asked about the other person's abilities.
