Steve always felt that he was the loser when he got along with Ren He. However, Steve highly agreed with him.
In the final analysis, it's because Ren He has a handle on him. Although he earns enough money for his pension, it's something he doesn't want to do.
At the beginning, if the plan to send Ren He away failed, Steve himself could only go to the end of his life, and would never be so leisurely as he is now.
The US government will never have a former CIA member suspected of treason.
So Steve doesn't want to answer the phone now. He didn't answer the first call until the end of the ring. However, Ren He didn't make the second call. Ordinary people may think that the trouble is over, but Steve looks at this silent mobile phone as if he is feeling silent ridicule
Because his handle is still in Ren He's hands, the other party has returned to China, there's nothing wrong with it, and he still wants to live in the United States! It's OK for him not to answer the phone in a moment's hesitation, but he must go back!
Some time ago, he had a general understanding of Ren He's character and character. To sum up, Steve thought Ren He was a good man.
In this world, it's not easy to get a real evaluation of good people. This is not a good person card that girls send when they refuse others.
Steve thinks Ren he should not be shameless enough to expose his own affairs, but he still can't stand his guilt
He dialed the phone back and said with a smile, "my old friend, how have you been back in China?"
Ren Hecai didn't have the time to talk nonsense with Steve. He happily said, "don't talk so much. I need you to help me steal something."
"I'm retired now," Steve gritted.
"It doesn't matter, I don't mind," Ren He said with a smile. "I really don't mind."
Steve's face is green. I don't mind if you don't mind! He decided to explain to Ren He seriously: "my friend, I sent you abroad because I didn't want to live in violation of the law, so you should understand that I won't do this kind of thing again."
"Listen to me," Ren He poured himself a glass of water, looked at the list promised to be sent to him on the computer and said to the phone, "this time you are only allowed to steal some common people. Because of business relations, they have some hard disks about the code in their home. You also know that I am engaged in the Internet industry in China, and these codes are of great significance to me."
Ren He is telling the truth. The home furnishings and security measures of these network security consultants are just like ordinary people. There is nothing special about them. These top hackers call the wind and rain on the network. As a result, their security awareness in real life is very low, which is the reason why the incidents happened frequently.
And Ren He doesn't mind if Steve goes to check the real identities of these people after he knows the list. At the beginning, Snowden's girlfriend was unusual. After checking for a long time, he only knew that Snowden was in a security company. He didn't know that the network security company served the national security agency, and Snowden himself was a member of the national security agency.
Of course, before the prism plan exposed the incident, no one thought these companies were normal network security companies, but Ren He was very clear about their characteristics.
Moreover, Ren He is not sure. He just makes a promise to expand the search scope, extract a few more, and then steal on a large scale. It doesn't matter if he steals, because he can always steal
So even if Steve's identity is special, what he can find is only ordinary employees of network security companies. The CIA and the national security agency do not share resources. In terms of information flow, the national security agency is higher than the CIA, and the CIA is in turn higher than the national security agency in terms of overseas armed forces.
Steve is also very clear that he has no room to refuse in front of Ren He, he said: "I hope we can become real friends, so I want to know, will you continue to threaten me after this matter?"
"Well, you see, as long as you finish this task, I will not only offer you the reward with both hands, but also send you the letter of guarantee you wrote at the beginning. What do you think?" Ren He said with a smile that, in fact, he did not intend to continue to use Steve. After taking revenge on the U.S. government, he was a real ordinary man. He just needed to live his own life as a rich and idle man.
Steve pondered for a full minute, then sighed and said, "send the details of the person you want to steal to my secret mailbox."
"No, no, it's definitely not in the form of email. You can find an encrypted satellite phone, and I'll tell you on the phone," Ren He said, shaking his head. Since it's the prism project, it's the local plan.
When a message containing more than 90% of the list of safe employees is sent through the U.S. server, Ren He does not believe that it will not attract the attention of the U.S. government.
It's not too much to say that the prism project is the eye of the sky in modern society. It's not surprising that so many people would panic after the prism project was exposed in previous lives.
In doubt, Steve went to a satellite phone and paid Ren He to call. Then he began to listen to Ren He's name list and home address one by one, and read him 50
When Steve got to the 50th in his notebook, he was fascinated: "wait a minute, these 50 people have the code you need?" Ren He said with a reserved smile, "yes." Steve was not good at that time. He was going to steal 50 houses? Indeed, as Ren He said, it's easy to steal folk houses. It's not a problem for him at all. However... A lot! So you're starting to measure now? Steve is sure that there is something wrong with the list. Now he doesn't even dare to ask others to help investigate whether there is something wrong with the list. Otherwise, what will he do if he is betrayed after the accident? He had to do it by himself, but after a night's investigation, he was even more puzzled. These people really worked in five different network security companies, which had very legitimate business with the outside world. At least they didn't seem to have any flaws. Steve even went to one of them and found that there was no problem, that is, ordinary houses! He called Ren He again: "I'll take the job, but you have to make sure that there won't be any more problems in the future. If something happens to harm my family, I won't let you go even if I die." At this time, he didn't care about the warranty. The original one had fingerprints. Even if the original one was destroyed, it didn't help. Ren he could make countless copies. Steve can only expect Ren He's character to be as good as he knows.
