Hello, Mr. Major General

The Secret Service execution room occupied three entire basement levels of the Secret Service building. Although this didn’t appear to be any different from any of the other rooms, there were unlimited possibilities as soon as the lights were shut off.

Hong Kangquan was fully decked out in his Secret Service uniform and also wore special sunglasses with tall leather boots as he took his confidantes to the floors where the execution rooms were located.

One Special Operations Forces soldier was being held separately in each of the 27 individual execution rooms. These were all personnel who had their real names and photos exposed in the indictment by the US Department of Justice.

Hong Kangquan sat in the surveillance room and communicated with the Special Operations Forces personnel through the microphone. “To all the colleagues from the Special Operations Forces, I am very sorry for the random catastrophe you are facing. I know it’s not your fault, but because of the errors made by your chief-in-command, your system was breached, and your data was obtained by the US Department of Justice and is being used to sue you.”

The Special Operations Forces personnel quietly listened to him speak, their expressions blank. Hong Kangquan was a bit irritated, so he frowned and continued, “This incident has caused extremely negative consequences. You all know the results even if I don’t need to tell you. In other words, you will definitely be dismissed from the military!”

At that moment, there was some movement among the Special Operations Forces personnel. Someone twisted their neck anxiously, while others crossed their legs tightly. Although there wasn’t much change in their expressions, their micro-expressions still indicated changes in their mood. Hong Kangquan sighed in relief. He originally thought that these Special Operations Forces personnel all had bones of iron and hearts of stone, so they wouldn’t be affected by him.

“But I know that all of you are intelligent and powerful soldiers! Even if you are dismissed from the military and have to suffer for someone else’s mistakes, you won’t retreat!” Hong Kangquan suddenly changed his trajectory and began to passionately compliment these Special Operations Forces personnel. “So it breaks my heart, since you shouldn’t need to suffer this kind of fate at all. You all originally had bright futures, so you shouldn’t destroy your future for an infamous hacker who disregards law and order and does as she pleases!”

As soon as Hong Kangquan said this, he keenly discovered that the pulses and heart rates of these Special Operations Forces personnel had rapidly increased for a moment! All the chairs in the execution rooms were large instruments with lie detecting functions. The Special Operations Forces personnel were sitting on the chairs, so they were able to detect changes in their blood pressure, pulse, and heart rate, even if they slightly turned their bodies. Lie detectors were used to discern truth from falsehood by measuring changes in the base data for these human bodies.

Hong Kangquan’s eyes narrowed quickly as he thought, “So these people actually know who the ‘Pink Piggy’ is!” Hong Kangquan’s palms began to sweat when he connected this to the message transmitted by that person. His gamble had actually succeeded!

As long as he found the “Pink Piggy” and handed her over, only then would that other person truly exert all efforts in helping him completely eliminate Huo Shaoheng! And as long as Huo Shaoheng was completely eliminated, then the entire Huaxia Imperial intelligence agency would be within his control!

He would certainly never betray any national interests, but who the hell was this “Pink Piggy?” Did a hacker deserve to be considered a national interest?! In Hong Kangquan’s knowledge, he never considered handing over the “Pink Piggy” as a big issue in the first place. If a civilian hacker saw the big picture and understood all the trouble she caused for her nation, then she should rightfully turn herself in. She shouldn’t be waiting for the nation to help her clean up her mess! Hong Kangquan never treated such foolish people with much patience. He became excited at the thought of the “Pink Piggy” being so close within his reach.

“All Special Operations Forces personnel, since you know who this ‘Pink Piggy’ is, I don’t need to say much more. Write down her real name, identity, occupation, home address, and phone number. Write down as much as you know. After you finish writing this, you may leave the Secret Service. I can guarantee that even if you are dismissed from the military, our Secret Service will always welcome you through our doors! As long as you come here, I will endeavor to get the position of director for each of you at minimum!”

The Special Operations Forces belonged to the military, so its personnel were all proper soldiers. The Secret Service belonged to the Cabinet, so its personnel were all normal civilians and of course, there were also many veterans. Hong Kangquan was also a veteran himself.

His move of “equal parts of generosity and authority” with “disintegration and separation” was very convincing. The confidantes at his side had tears brimming in their eyes after listening to his words. Unfortunately, they didn’t know who the “Pink Piggy” was. Otherwise, they could have ended up being directors as well.

With red eyes, they watched the 27 small monitors in the surveillance room and waited for the Special Operations Forces personnel to pick up the pens and write down the “Pink Piggy’s” whereabouts. However, they waited for a full 30 minutes, and the 27 Special Operations Forces personnel remained sitting motionless in the chairs. Not a single person touched their pens!

Also, their heart rates and pulses were steady, like they had unanimously come to a decision. Each of them sat in the execution rooms with calm expressions, and no one spoke a word. The 27 execution rooms were as quiet as a desolate field, so even the sounds of breathing were barely audible.

Hong Kangquan instantly appeared very aggrieved. There wasn’t a single person talking?!

“Boss, these people don’t even know what’s good for them!” Hong Kangquan’s confidantes began to point at the monitors. “If I knew who this person was, I’d certainly write it down!”

“Exactly! If we knew, we could also end up as directors!” Everyone smiled very happily, as if they had already become directors.

Hong Kangquan’s mind began to work as he looked at these people. “You also want to be directors?”

“Oh? Boss, we were only joking around…”

“…Boss, are you being serious?”

“Is this something we can discuss?”

The eyes of the people surrounding Hong Kangquan almost glowed green, as they were unable to hide the greed inside them. Hong Kangquan smiled quietly and waited another half an hour. One hour passed, but nobody had even touched the pens, nor did anyone speak.

Hong Kangquan created a new plan when the first one failed, so he said into the microphone, “Are you going to tell me or not? Actually, someone among you has already confessed to me. If you don’t want to lose everything, you should just say it. Someone else already said it, anyway…”

At that moment, one Special Operations Forces personnel in the execution room began to speak. “Is this Director Hong? If someone already confessed, can you release me then? You already know who it is anyway, so why are you still keeping me locked up?”

“Director Hong? Someone confessed? That’s great, you should release me then. This incident has nothing to do with me anyway, nor do I know who the ‘Pink Piggy’ is. Aren’t you worried about committing an error by locking me up like this?”

“Congratulations, Director Hong. You’ve successfully completed the task the United States assigned to you. Can you let me go now? I don’t even know who the ‘Pink Piggy’ is anyway, so you don’t need to waste any effort on me.”

From all 27 execution rooms, identical jeers began to be continuously heard through the microphones. Hong Kangquan’s expression instantly darkened. He didn’t expect these Special Operations Forces personnel to be smart. They were simply disregarding his generosity!

He had merely wanted to fool them, but not only did he fail, he also allowed them to latch onto the source and immediately request that he release them!
