Chapter 121: Urgent Mission

  Walking on the street, Su Jin's face was somewhat gloomy. The so-called call home to the family was not a call to Su Jin's home. Old Dad wasn't just Su Xingfeng either. This was an emergency code agreed upon by Liu Yimin and Su Jin. Home and Old Dad referred to Liu Yimin.

  This code will only be used in extremely urgent situations. Normally, if Liu Yimin has something to say, he would directly call Su Zhen's mobile phone to inform him. But once this code is used, it means his mobile phone is no longer safe and can only let him return a call to Liu Yimin.

  However, Su Jin didn't panic too much. According to the information conveyed, he was asked to go to the Chinese Embassy in the US and send a telegram back to Liu Yimin. It seems that things haven't gotten to the point of no return yet. After all, an embassy is a base for a country's intelligence personnel. If Su Jin had already been put under surveillance, Liu Yimin wouldn't have let him go to the embassy, as that would only confirm his identity as a spy.

  The Chinese Embassy in Washington, Su Jin's book signing tour is being held across the United States. Today marks the end of a full circle. Not too far from Washington, but not close either. After all, they are not in the same city.

  He needs to rush to Washington overnight, and taking a plane is definitely not possible. Previously, taking a plane was because Xu Kangzuo had arranged the ticket in advance, but for temporary booking, it's better to drive. Now he needs Xu Kangzuo to contact a car for him.

  Although Xu Kangzuo didn't quite understand Su Jian's request for a car to go out, under Su Jian's insistence, he still arranged for a Hummer, which was the best car in the publishing house. Amidst the roar of the engine, Su Jian sped away towards Washington.

  The Embassy of China in the United States is located in Northwest Washington, D.C. It covers an area of 10796 square meters and has a building area of 39900 square meters. To its north is Van Ness Street, to its west is International Drive. The south side is International Avenue and Central Park. The exterior wall of the new office building uses a light-colored, fine-grained French limestone that coordinates with the many limestone federal buildings in the Washington area.

  When Su Jin arrived at the embassy, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

  "Hello, I'm an overseas Chinese who came to the United States to make a living, but I was cheated by these Americans and now I have nothing left on me. I need your help."

  "Cheated by Americans? Are you cheating?"

  "Right in New York of America!"

  After the password was verified, Su Jin walked into the embassy smoothly.

  "Who are you and what brings you here?" a middle-aged man said as he approached.

  "I'm a national security personnel, I received a message from the country to come here and make a phone call. This is my ID." Su Jin handed over his national security certificate to the middle-aged man.

  The middle-aged man glanced at his ID card and waved his hand after a moment of thought, saying: "Take him away to make a phone call."

  Su Jin followed a young man in his twenties to the back. "Do people often come here to make phone calls? Aren't you afraid that the documents are fake?" Su Jin asked curiously. He felt that he had entered too easily.

  "Haha, from this sentence alone, it's clear that you're a real national security agent. In fact, every country's embassy in another country is an intelligence base for the home country. This is a universally acknowledged fact. Moreover, there will be some overseas Chinese who come to the embassy for help in the capital city. Making phone calls back to the home country is also a common occurrence. Whether or not you're really national security is unimportant." The young man laughed and said.

  "Dad, what's going on? Why the rush?" Su Jin asked.

  "Of course it's urgent, I have an emergency task for you." Liu Yimin's voice was very serious.

  "Hey, Dad, don't be like this. Didn't we agree on something earlier? Why do you have another task for me now? I'm a cultured young man, don't drag me into your messy affairs, okay?" Su said helplessly.

  "Shut up! I've already said it's an emergency mission. If it wasn't absolutely necessary, do you think I'd be willing to look for a rookie like you?! I'm warning you, this is a matter of national survival, so get your spirits up!" Liu Yimin barked.

  "Alright, alright, you said there's something related to the rise and fall of the country that I need to take on? Such a heavy burden, aren't you afraid it'll crush me?" Seeing Liu Yimin get angry, Su Ren didn't dare to say more, muttered two sentences and then pretended to listen carefully.

  "We had an operative sent out on a mission, but he's been compromised. He's being hunted down right now! I need you to extract him immediately."

  "What the...? What's going on here? Don't you guys arrange for someone to pick up your special agents when they're on a mission?" Su Jin asked, tongue-tied.

  Liu Yimin sighed and said, "Originally, we had arranged for people to pick him up, but unexpectedly, the US FBI had already grasped our special agent system's situation. Previously, they hadn't made a move because they wanted to cast a long line to catch a big fish. But this time, the target of our special agent was too important to them, so they couldn't care less about our intelligence system's layout."

  Although this made us aware of their situation, it allowed the withdrawal of intelligence personnel and avoided losses. However, there was no way to respond to the dispatched agent. We received news that he had been captured, but due to the lack of response personnel, he is being pursued.

  "We urgently need an agent who has not been compromised by the FBI to go and retrieve. The information this operative has obtained is too important, if it can be successfully brought back home, it will greatly enhance our country's overall strength. In the US, the only person who hasn't been compromised recently is you! So we have no choice but to arrange for you to go."

  "My goodness!" After hearing Liu Yimin's words, Su Jin was completely speechless. What kind of situation is this? How can it be said that our government also started from underground work? It is said that those underground workers back then were all powerful and mysterious, with unpredictable methods. How come they are being outdone in this aspect now?

  Su Jin really couldn't describe his emotions in words. Forget it, after all, it was just a task, and Su Jin wasn't someone who didn't have any feelings for the country. Since Old Man Liu had described the situation as so critical, he might as well help them out.

  ……

  In a dimly lit alley, Su Jin casually found a step to sit down. According to Liu Yimin's intelligence, he was still in contact with that agent, and had told him that he would be waiting for him here, letting him come find him. The agent's name was Mo Junyan, whether it was his real name or codename, Su Jin wasn't sure, but that's what Liu Yimin said.

  "Rat-a-tat!" A flurry of hurried footsteps approached.

  "What's going on? Ordinary people wouldn't come to a place like this, could it be that the person I'm supposed to meet is in some kind of trouble?" Su Jin got up and walked towards the direction where the voice came from.
