Tehran Grocery Store: My Intelligence is Priced Clearly

The only sound in the basement was Jack's heavy breathing.

Zhang Jian shrugged, looking at the white man slumped in the chair with disdain.

"I thought you, an agent with top-notch anti-torture training, could hold out for long."

"After all that, you're just a show-off. You're not tough at all."

Zhang Jian stood up, pulled his chair back, and looked down at him.

"I was just thinking, the flow of money in your anonymous account is quite interesting."

"You have a big villa with a swimming pool in Maryland, but you still live in the house you used to live in in the countryside."

"And your precious daughter."

"I usually attend school in town, but on weekends I go for one-on-one tutoring, which costs a lot."

"I was planning to talk to you about your family situation, but you've already backed down before I even got started?"

"You can't do it either."

Upon hearing these words, Jack's already pale face instantly lost all color, and his pupils contracted sharply to the size of pinpoints.

If the embezzlement of funds and the dynamic password incident only shattered his professional defenses, then mentioning his wife and daughter now directly seizes his Achilles' heel.

Those in their line of work are most afraid of the rule of not harming family members being broken.

Especially when facing a monster who can easily access even CIA secrets, Jack doesn't dare gamble on whether the other party will target his family.

"No...don't touch them!"

Jack struggled desperately, causing the chair to scrape violently against the floor.

He looked up, his face, covered in blood and sweat, etched with extreme terror, and his voice filled with desperate pleading.

"That's my business! It has nothing to do with them!"

"I'll tell you anything you want to know!"

"Tell me everything! I won't hide a single word from you!"

Zhang Jian scoffed at his groveling, fawning manner.

"Not talking nonsense anymore?"

"No way! I promise it will never happen again!"

Jack shouted in a hoarse voice, as if afraid that if he was even a second too slow, Zhang Jian would change his mind.

Zhang Jian looked at him with a hint of regret.

I originally wanted to play a little longer, but...

He barely got started before he gave up.

Not interesting.

He stepped to the side, making way for the person directly opposite him.

He turned his head and looked at Zhao Ping'an, who was standing to the side, completely dumbfounded.

"Alright, this guy probably won't lie anymore."

"Come on, you can come."

"Ask whatever you want to ask."

"After you've asked, have your field agents in Turkey send a verification request to the CIA, just in case they actually start targeting us."

Zhao Ping'an stood there, his head buzzing and his whole body numb.

Is this over?

So he confessed everything?

He turned to look at Li Gang, who was still holding a funnel and saline solution, and then at Du Jian, who was equally astonished.

The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

In comparison, what exactly were I doing all that time with my men?

They used knives and waterboarding.

They tried to take turns attacking, but the other side completely ignored them and even arrogantly mocked them.

As a result, Zhang Jian came over and took care of it in no time.

If I had known this would happen, I would have just asked Zhang Jian and asked him to come.

Why bother with all that effort!

That's really embarrassing!

Zhao Ping'an felt his face flush slightly, and his ears even felt hot.

However, he is a foreigner after all, and has a strong mentality.

I know now is not the time to worry about saving face; important matters need to be addressed.

He took a deep breath, quickly composed himself, and strode over to the table in front of Jack, where he sat down.

Li Gang and Du Jian also put away their weapons and stood on either side of Zhao Ping'an.

Zhao Pingan placed his hands on the table, staring at Jack's face.

"Since you're willing to cooperate, let's get to it quickly."

"I'm asking you, what is the specific deployment situation of your forces on the Turkish border this time?"

"How many people are there? What kind of equipment? Where are the retreat routes and rendezvous points?"

Jack swallowed hard, not daring to look at Zhang Jian standing next to him, and obediently spoke to Zhao Ping'an.

"We have deployed three rapid response teams, totaling thirty-six men, near Doubayazet."

"It is equipped with night vision devices, thermal imaging drones, and a light multi-terrain vehicle."

"The rendezvous point is located 15 kilometers from the border."

"In addition to these, we also have the authority to request the deployment of two Black Hawk helicopters."

"If a real problem arises, we can cross the border to provide support or evacuate at any time."

Zhao Ping'an frowned as he listened.

Thirty-six fully armed top agents, plus two helicopters, are on standby at all times.

This display of force clearly indicates their intention to devour the sea eagle alive.

If Zhang Jian hadn't provided accurate intelligence beforehand, Haiying wouldn't have changed its course.

If you actually walk into this pocket, there's absolutely no hope of escape.

"Your Middle East Division has really gone all out this time."

Zhao Pingan snorted coldly, and then raised the second core question.

"Zhang Jian just mentioned that you have implanted a backdoor program in the underlying logic of the Turkish customs immigration management system."

"Besides Türkiye, in which other countries have this kind of thing in their systems?"

Türkiye serves as a bridgehead between the Middle East and Europe, and many domestic field personnel and smuggled goods choose to transit through here.

If this backdoor has always existed, then their supposedly secretive actions over the years would probably have been completely exposed by the Americans long ago.

Jack hesitated for less than two seconds.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught Zhang Jian touching the cigarette box, and she was so frightened that she immediately spat out her words like beans.

"And... the UAE and Qatar."

"The biometric data collection systems at Dubai International Airport and Doha Customs both have similar backdoors implanted by our cyber warfare unit."

"As soon as your people undergo iris scanning or facial recognition at customs."

"The data will trigger an underlying alert, bypassing the local security network and being packaged and sent to Langley."
