Chapter 162 The whole story!

"V, the quality of your message is pretty good and it's very reliable. I believe you didn't lie to me."

At this moment, Bryce was already grinning from ear to ear. "In order to repay you for telling me the truth, I will give you another piece of intelligence about the United Nations Intelligence Agency for free!"

"There are many buyers willing to pay for this information. I can't say that you can earn financial freedom, but there is still a chance to make a small fortune."

Upon hearing that this was intelligence about the Joint Intelligence Bureau, V immediately perked up and asked hurriedly:
"I don't have time to verify the truth right now. Can this information be guaranteed to be true?"

Facing V's doubt, Bryce patted his chest and responded confidently: "V, don't worry, this is absolutely true!"

"I'm an intelligence dealer, how can I sell you fake news?"

Bryce smiled, then lowered his voice again as usual, and said in a mysterious and cautious tone:

"The CIA agent Solomon Reed who died in the Blue Bi Building before, is not really dead. He has now returned to the CIA and continues to work for Miles!"

After he finished speaking, Bryce showed a very determined look and nodded solemnly to V, indicating that his information was highly credible.

"This guy is a tough guy. He can be called the most outstanding ace agent of the United Intelligence Agency in recent years. He is currently lurking in Dogtown."

"This is first-hand intelligence from the United Intelligence Bureau. It is absolutely reliable. Many companies are willing to pay for the intelligence from the United Intelligence Bureau. If you sell it, you will definitely make a fortune!"

After listening to the intelligence from the CIA provided by Bryce, V did not show any excitement. As for the name "Li De", which was not particularly unfamiliar to him, he had indeed heard of such a person.

V knew that Li De, an agent from the United Intelligence Bureau, appeared in the Ganbi Building incident, but he was not sure whether all these agents from the United Intelligence Bureau were really dead.

If a situation like Li De's resurrection from the dead really happened, it could only mean that the LA company that sealed off the scene at the first moment had reached some kind of deal with Li De in private.

Although V didn't know what kind of deal LA Company and Reed would reach, he could guess that it was mainly for intelligence gathering.

After all, Li De is a professional agent of the CIA. Intelligence and lurking are his forte, and LA Company does need such talents.

But if that is the case, Li De still maintains contact with his old employer, the United Nations Intelligence Bureau, even though he already has a previous company in LA. Isn't this a typical double agent?

Working two jobs, he can be said to be a model worker in the spy world!
"Okay, this information will be of some use to me."

At this time, V couldn't help but look Bryce up and down. He had to admit that this guy was indeed a talent in intelligence and could even get such confidential information.

Fortunately, the LA company's internal information was well kept confidential, otherwise, V would have been recognized as the lone wolf spy long ago.

"So V, now that we've made the deal and exchanged intelligence, isn't it time to let me go? Time is money, and I have a lot of things waiting to be done."

Bryce pleaded with a bitter look on his face. He had originally only wanted to gather some information from the Voodoo Gang's subnet and then withdraw, but he had been delayed until now and had not been able to escape.

Originally, after finishing today's work, he could go to the private cinema to watch a classic western cowboy movie, or go to the Super Dream Club to relax.

Now I can only sit here, not knowing what I am waiting for.

"No, you have to wait here with me. Neither of us can leave this room until my boss calls!"

V's tone suddenly became serious. He would not let Bryce go out and spread the news before things were completely done.

So as not to ruin Li Ang's plan.

Seeing that he had no way to get away, Bryce simply lay on the bed and began to daydream. At worst, he would stay here and wait for a day or two to see who could outlast the other.

He just didn't believe that V could just keep waiting here!
Fortunately, not long after, V received a phone call from the LA company. Seeing V walk out of the room and go outside alone to answer the phone, Bryce couldn't help but follow him quietly.

He tried to eavesdrop on some intelligence that he might be able to use.

However, V's reply was too concise, basically just a few words like "Yeah, OK, I got it".

Bryce couldn't hear any valuable information at all.

[This mission has ended. You can now move around on your own. This is the bonus Mr. Li Ang gave you. Be careful outside. That's it.]

The person who spoke was V's immediate superior, Ott Cunningham. After giving some instructions, Ott immediately transferred 10 Euros in electronic currency into V's account.

Ding!
There was a notification sound indicating that the money had arrived.

The moment he received the money, V was shocked by the LA company's inhumane operation. It was the first time for him to complete a commission with so much bonus!
If you had known that you could make so much money by inserting a chip into the Voodoo Gang's Poseidon subnet server, who would be willing to take work from middlemen every day and do tasks that pay little but require a lot of work?

V felt sorry for his past self. He had worked so hard for those middlemen to complete the tasks, but in the end, the money he earned was not even one tenth of what the LA company gave him.

Chilling!
"By the way, during this operation, I discovered some other intelligence information, and now I need to report it directly to the boss!" V did not intend to hide the information he gained today from Li Ang, because this information was too fragmented for him.

It would be impossible for him and Johnny to restore the truth of the matter by just relying on their own imagination and reasoning.

Instead of going out and spending time and effort to investigate the situation yourself, it would be better to just ask Li Ang what's going on. This is more efficient.

[Okay, I'll transfer the call to Mr. Li Ang now. Before officially reporting the news, please pay attention to whether there are any suspicious people around you.]

When officially connecting the call to Leon, the cautious Otto did not forget to remind V.

"clear."

As soon as he finished speaking, V directly activated the Chapter 6 Type Network Access Chamber and used the ICE intrusion protocol to burn Bryce's brain not far behind him, causing him to faint on the spot.

Although this hacking attack was not fatal, it was enough to make Bryce sleep in his room for most of the day.

Immediately, V answered Li Ang's call. On the phone, V reported to Li Ang all the information he had collected today in detail.

When he learned that V had encountered such a weird intelligence trader, Leon could not help but chuckle.

He didn't want to recruit Bryce under his command, he just felt interested in the matter.

Bryce might be a genius in intelligence trading, but he has no special training value for LA Company.

After all, the intelligence department of LA company has long been using AI Red and White Queen to collect intelligence in all aspects.

Not to mention the news within Night City, LA's AI spies are spread all over America and the world.

This is much faster than simply using agents to collect intelligence.

[V, you completed the task very well this time. Keep up the hard work and report to me if there is any progress.]

Li Ang emphasized on praising V and gave V an additional bonus of 10 Euros in his personal name, which was a reward for V's truthful reporting of his work.

Although Leon had long known that Reed was secretly colluding with Miles, he didn't care as long as Reed was carrying out the task he assigned him.

As for whether he is a double agent, it doesn’t matter to Li Ang. Anyway, to LA company, Li De is just a pure tool.

If it can be used, continue to use it. If it can't be used, it won't be a pity even if it kills.

However, what made Li Ang very satisfied was that through this mission, he saw V's good attitude of reporting work progress to him in a timely manner.

In the communication between superiors and subordinates, timely reporting of work is the subordinates' top priority. This is the most solid way to show loyalty and is more important than making any achievements!

V has done very well in this regard, which means that V is a talent worth cultivating and can be used as a trusted member.

"These are what I should do. By the way, Mr. Li Ang, I have something else I want to ask you about. It's about the Russian network outage and Li De's matter."

Taking this opportunity, V asked questions that had puzzled him for a long time. Without figuring out the truth of these things, he always felt that something was wrong.

In response to V's questions, Li Ang was very frank and explained to him the ins and outs of the Transcendental AI and the basic information about Li De.

Li Ang even told V Li De's contact address.

After finding out the truth behind all the recent events, V suddenly realized what was going on, as if a toilet that had been clogged for a long time suddenly became unblocked, and everything became clear.

After a while, after Li Ang hung up the phone, V could finally relax and take a breath.

After looking at Bryce who had already been unconscious in the room, V paid him 800 Euros for medical treatment and then left quietly.

Bryce, who fell to the ground and couldn't get up, slept until noon the next day. He then woke up in a daze, holding his head with a splitting headache.

"Damn it... I was careless. This guy is actually a hacker!"

After waking up, Bryce realized at the first moment that he had been tricked by V. He cursed and touched his pockets to make sure if anything was missing.

Fortunately, after a careful check, he did not find that he had lost any valuables. Instead, he noticed that there was an extra transfer of 800 euros in his personal electronic account.

Bryce subconsciously touched his butt, and when he didn't feel any obvious pain, he breathed a sigh of relief.
