Tehran Grocery Store: My Intelligence is Priced Clearly

Zhao Ping'an's heart skipped a beat.

Li Gang and Du Jian's expressions also turned extremely ugly.

Dubai and Doha!

These two places are the largest aviation hubs and passenger distribution centers in the entire Middle East!

Nearly 70% of the national security intelligence personnel in the Middle East have to transit through these two nodes.

No wonder that in recent years, their important intelligence networks in Saudi Arabia and Iraq have frequently run into problems, with personnel disappearing without a trace.

It turns out I was being watched as soon as I entered the country!

If we hadn't caught this guy today and gotten Zhang Jian to expose this, who knows how many more lives they would have had to throw into this bottomless pit!

Zhao Pingan suppressed his anger and continued to press for answers.

How can I remove or block this backdoor program?

Jack shook his head, his face full of bitterness.

"It cannot be removed."

"This is written into the lowest level of the system architecture. Unless Türkiye and the UAE completely overhaul their customs system, it will be impossible to detect."

"As for blocking..."

"Only senior executives in our Middle East division have the authority to shut down data scraping during specific time periods."

"And this also has a time limit; it can't be closed for too long."

Zhao Pingan gritted his teeth and quickly wrote down this crucial information on a piece of paper.

He planned to report to his family immediately upon leaving the basement and urgently cut off all evacuation routes passing through these three countries.

"One last question."

Zhao Ping'an stared at Jack.

"Besides the Seahawks, what other intelligence do you know about our personnel, both inside and outside the operations team?"

"Whom is your Middle East division still monitoring lately?"

Upon hearing this question, Jack flinched slightly, his breathing becoming somewhat rapid.

He raised his head, looked at Zhao Ping'an, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down with difficulty.

"Do you... have a field agent codenamed 'Kite'?"

Upon hearing the word "kite," Zhao Ping'an could no longer remain seated.

He jumped up, slammed his hands on the table, and stared wide-eyed.

"What did you say?!"

"Kite?"

"How did you know that code name?!"

Kite is an extremely core, strategic-level informant planted overseas by the Overseas Intelligence Division of the Ministry of State Security.

The level was so high that even Zhao Ping'an, a senior field agent, only knew that there was such a code name, but he knew nothing about the specific gender and the location of the infiltrator!

Seeing Zhao Ping'an's violent reaction, Jack dropped a bombshell in a trembling voice.

"The 'kite' has been exposed."

"We not only knew his code name, but we also pinpointed his exact location."

"The special operations team from the Middle East Division is expected to make arrests in the next two days."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ping'an could no longer contain his anger.

He reached across the table, grabbed Jack by the collar, and pulled Jack and his chair forward, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

"Say it again!"

Zhao Ping'an's voice trembled, and his eyes instantly became bloodshot.

"Have you located the kite?"

Jack was being strangled so hard he could hardly breathe, his face turning red as he nodded frantically.

Seeing this, Li Gang and Du Jian quickly stepped forward, each grabbing one of Zhao Ping'an's shoulders and forcibly pulling him away slightly.

Zhao Ping'an was panting heavily, staring intently at Jack, spitting as he spoke.

"Tell me! Where's the kite?"

Jack coughed violently a few times, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Zhang Jian, who remained unmoved beside him. He dared not hide anything at all.

"In Dubai!"

Jack quickly said.

"A kite lurks in Dubai."

"As for who is leading the team, I really don't know."

"I only overheard it briefly during a meeting, saying that the operation was expected to be completed in the next couple of days."

"How did you find out about him?!"

Zhao Ping'an gritted his teeth.

Jack shrank his neck and hid behind him.

"Backdoor data from Doha Customs."

"In addition, someone within your organization previously provided him with an extremely crucial clue."

"traitor!"

Zhao Ping'an clenched his fist.

Jack quickly distanced himself from the situation.

"That's all I know!"

"The kite case is top secret, and headquarters is sending people directly to follow up on it."

"I only heard a little bit about it because I was in charge of external coordination; I really don't know the specifics of the arrest plan!"

Zhao Ping'an stood there, cold sweat pouring down his back.

Kite.

That was their top informant in their overseas intelligence department!

Chen Jianguo once hinted at this at an internal high-level meeting, saying that Kite had access to an extremely important channel related to China's intelligence network in the Middle East.

If the kite is captured, the National Security Bureau's intelligence network in the Middle East will inevitably suffer a devastating blow, with incalculable losses.

"No, I have to report to Director Chen immediately."

Zhao Ping'an could no longer care about Jack in the basement.

He turned and strode towards the stairwell, rushing out of the basement in two quick steps and into the courtyard outside.

The cold night wind blowing on his face cleared his feverish mind a little.

He took out his encrypted satellite phone and dialed his home's dedicated line directly.

After identity verification, the call line is transferred.

The ringtone lasted for less than three seconds.

The call was connected.

"Hello, this is Chen Jianguo."

A deep, steady middle-aged male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Director Chen, something terrible has happened!"

Zhao Ping'an didn't bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"We've rescued Haiying, but his identity has been completely exposed."

"At the same time, Captain Du also arrested a senior CIA field agent who was hunting down Seahawk, and we extracted two top-secret intelligence documents from him."

"Neither of these pieces of intelligence is good news for us."
