Chapter 320 The CIA Threat
Just as Lin Chen was packing his things, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Lin Chen paused for a moment, hesitated for a second, and then walked to the door and opened it.
Outside the door stood a man and a woman in suits.
Lin Chen recognized the woman; she was Alexandra, the charming female mathematician he had met when he first came to the United States to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians.
"Alexandra? What brings you here?"
“Dear Lin, may we come in and have a seat? The man next to me has something he wants to discuss with you.”
Alexandra still wore her charming smile. Lin Chen glanced at the hook-nosed white man standing next to her, nodded, and opened the door for her.
After the two entered, they were surprised to see the messy luggage in the room and asked, "Lin, you're not planning to go back, are you?"
"I'm here on some personal business and won't be staying long."
Lin Chen casually offered an explanation, then sat on the bed and said, "Now, can you introduce this person to me?"
Upon hearing this, Alexandra quickly replied, "Okay, this is actually CIA agent Smith."
"Agent? Isn't that supposed to be a specialist?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.
Agent Smith was slightly taken aback and replied, "Mr. Lin, how did you know I have an older brother who works as a specialist overseas?"
Really?
Lin Chen felt a little embarrassed.
Commissioner Smith's case is already well-known overseas, isn't it?
Lin Chen turned to look at Alexandra, feigning surprise, and said, "Alexandra, how come you're with CIA people? Could it be that you..."
"I'm sorry, Lin, I... I'm actually from the CIA..."
Before Alexandra could finish speaking, Agent Smith interrupted, "Mr. Lin, Alexandra's matter is irrelevant to my purpose in coming here today."
"I know your time is valuable, so I'll get straight to the point."
"We're here because, Mr. Lin, you've violated US law!"
"Broken the law? Which law?" Lin Chen frowned slightly.
"Mr. Lin, don't you know? This time, you have violated the United States' anti-terrorism law!"
Agent Smith wore a knowing smile.
He originally thought that after letting Lin Chen go back last time, there would be no more opportunities to keep him in the United States.
Unexpectedly, this kid ended up in the United States again.
Moreover, his previous actions proved Smith's past suspicions about Lin Chen.
This man is indeed very dangerous. If left unchecked in China, he will surely threaten the safety of the United States in the future!
This can be seen from what he did this time.
A new type of drone control system enabled a group of terrorists to defeat the regular army of the Squid Kingdom!
“We have ample evidence to prove that the drones you helped build were used by terrorists to launch attacks! This behavior violates the relevant laws in the U.S. anti-terrorism law that prohibit assisting terrorists!”
After a pause, Agent Smith said meaningfully, "Mr. Lin, this is a very serious illegal act!"
"Under US law, you could face more than 20 years in prison!"
Upon hearing Smith's words, a hint of sternness flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.
It seems the warnings from the domestic authorities were indeed correct.
The Americans are indeed going to take action against themselves.
And it was all because of the batch of drones that Lu Han sold.
It's a pity that fatso isn't here, otherwise Lin Chen would definitely give him the middle finger and call him a "traitor"!
That's bad, I was supposed to leave tomorrow.
But now the CIA has its eyes on me, let alone hold out until tomorrow.
He strongly suspected that if he said the wrong thing now, a dozen burly men might rush in the next moment and lock him up in jail.
With this in mind, Lin Chen had already made up his mind.
“Tell me, you didn’t come here just to arrest me, did you? Otherwise, you should have broken in with the other agents, not Alexandra.”
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Smith smiled, having already detected the concession in Lin Chen's tone.
"Mr. Lin is indeed a smart man. In fact, we have always been optimistic about your future, and the drone control system you have developed this time has a very promising future!"
"It's a pity that you declined our invitation when you came to the United States last time, which led to this unfortunate incident today."
“Since the incident has already occurred, it must be rectified. We can pardon your crime on the condition that you hand over the AI control system of the drones and robot dogs used to attack the Squid Nation.”
"Furthermore, to prevent a similar incident from happening again, we also hope that Mr. Lin Chen can become a U.S. citizen and remain in the United States!"
"Once you become one of us in the United States, the United States will take care of the losses caused to the Squid Country because of you!"
Lin Chen pretended to ponder for a moment, then looked hesitant: "What if I say I still want to go back? Just because the drones I invented were used to attack the Squid Country, you want to convict me? Aren't you Americans afraid of being condemned by the world?"
"Mr. Lin, you're joking. The United States doesn't care about anyone's criticism! But don't be angry. Staying in the United States actually has many advantages for you."
"As long as you are willing to become a part of the United States, the conditions our President made for you last time still stand!"
"Besides that, we heard that you seem to be here because of a relative's cancer?"
"If you are willing to join the United States, we can provide your loved ones with the best medical care and assistance! In the field of cancer treatment, the United States has unparalleled technology in the world!"
Hearing Smith's words, Lin Chen was basically certain that his trip to the United States had been under full surveillance by the CIA.
Fortunately, the CIA seems to still intend to win him over, which gives him a chance to breathe.
Looking at Smith, Lin Chen asked, "Now that you know why I came to the United States, if I join the United States, will my family in China still be able to come to the United States?"
"You don't need to worry about that. As long as you nod, we will naturally arrange for your relatives and friends in China to come to the United States."
"I understand... but this is a big deal, and I need time to think about it."
"Of course, we won't bother you today. We'll come again at the same time tomorrow night."
After saying that, Smith and Alexandra got up and left Lin Chen's room.
As they reached the door, Smith suddenly turned around and said, "Oh, right, I forgot to mention something, Mr. Lin. We've already canceled your flight back to China tomorrow, so you don't need to rush to leave for now."
"of course."
Lin Chen smiled slightly.
But as soon as the door closed, the smile on his face vanished like the tide.
I got up and went to the window, looking down through the window.
Soon, Lin Chen saw two black cars parked at opposite ends of the street.
There were people sitting in those cars, but they didn't get out for a long time.
In several more secluded corners, Lin Chen also spotted figures resembling CIA agents.
My hotel is clearly under complete surveillance!
