Chapter 317 Capture

Chapter 317 Capture

Chapter 317 Capture
Ten million was enough to hook Crawford, five thousand minus three thousand, and a mere twenty million was enough to get Panetta.

He is the highest-ranking boss in the CIA, but his standards are not that high.

Ever since Panetta made Crawford see a ghost, Gao Yi knew that this thing would definitely succeed, 100%. If he could meet Panetta again and truly make him his own, and then make more money, let Panetta fall into the trap and then close the lid, then he would have an additional deputy director partner of the CIA.

Don't say "traitor", it sounds so ugly.

They used the tiger's skin to pull up a big flag, and finally tied the tiger to the flagpole. This business is really good.

Now, Panetta has taken the initiative to ask his partners whether they want to change people. This is because people on the intelligence line are cautious and know that the informant who has always been in single-line contact cannot be easily replaced. Otherwise, Panetta will definitely replace him with his own confidants.

Now Gao Yi must make Jolson Panetta's confidant.

But at this time, if he wanted to let Jolson work directly under Panetta and make Panetta feel that Jolson was reliable, he would have to use some skills.

Open a history book. No, it is even more convenient now. Just search on the Internet and you will find thousands of techniques or mature cases for reference.

Gao Yi knew many idioms related to employing people, such as three visits to the thatched cottage, Zhou Gong spitting out food to feed the guests, spending a fortune on horse bones, and so on.

The American way of thinking is different from that of the East, and the standards for identifying talent are also slightly different, but human nature is essentially the same between Easterners and Westerners. It's just that Americans are a little more crude and direct.

In order to keep Jolson, recommend Jolson, and let Panetta reuse Jolson, the first thing to do is that Gao Yi must never recommend Jolson.

To promote, one must first suppress; to welcome, one must first reject.

"Change people? It's better to change people if possible."

Gao Yi first responded to Panetta's initiative with a very welcoming and confident tone.

Panetta was about to speak, but Gao Yi continued quickly: "Jolson is a bit rigid. His ability... is OK, but he doesn't know how to adapt. Many things can be easily solved with a little flexibility, but he is too stubborn and too rigid. This is not conducive to our long-term cooperation."

Gao Yi's tone was slightly dissatisfied, but he did not point out any fatal flaws in Joelson. On Panetta's side, the shortcoming of stubbornness and rigidity should be considered an advantage.

What is poison to me may be honey to others.

To Gao Yi, it was rigid and inflexible, but to Panetta, it was just sticking to principles and refusing to go along with Gao Yi.

This is an advantage, a huge advantage.

But that is not enough. Panetta can still achieve this by sending a confidant who is extremely loyal to him and whom he can completely control to serve as a contact with Gao Yi.

So Gao Yi continued, "But time is too tight this time. We are about to take action. A temporary substitution may delay our action. How about this? Let Qiao Ersen cooperate with me to complete this action first, and then replace him immediately after the action is over? Is that okay?"

Although you may not be satisfied, you can still accept it. You don't have to change the general at the last minute, but you must drive him away afterwards.

When Panetta heard this, he felt that Jolson was so suitable to be the informant.

"Well, sure. We can discuss the selection of the informant later. For long-term cooperation, the selection of the informant is still very important."

"Okay, we'll be in touch anytime."

After the call was hung up, Gao Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Ersen couldn't help but said: "You...how...if I am replaced, I might die!"

Panetta initially used an affirmative tone that he could make substitutions immediately, which meant that he could make substitutions immediately. However, after Gao Yi complained a few times and agreed to the substitution in principle, Panetta changed his attitude and said that he was willing to discuss the matter.

This is a subtle change in mentality, and the ancient Eastern wisdom is once again reflected subtly.

The problem is that Jolson doesn't understand.

Now, not only is Jolson worried that he will be kicked out by Gao Yi and Panetta, he is also worried that Panetta will silence him.

Gao Yi had to explain. He said to Jolson, "If I say this, your position as the single-line informant will be secure. If I say there is no need to replace someone, then you are good. Do you believe that Panetta will immediately send someone to replace you?"

It was really just a difference in thinking, not in IQ, so after Gao Yi reminded him, Qiao Ersen thought for a moment and finally said, "Oh, I understand!"

Joelson looked as if he had suddenly understood something, and Luca had just frowned. But when Joelson said he understood, Luca's brows almost relaxed at the same time, and he said in surprise, "Yes, that's right, amazing!"

Luca is not good at flattering, so his compliments are sincere. Although he is guarding Feng Biao, he will never, or to be more precise, refuses to flatter others.

Gao Yi said to Jolson very seriously: "The road has been paved for you, and the conditions have been created for you. Whether you can gain Panetta's recognition and whether you can go from being Crawford's subordinate to being Panetta's confidant depends on your ability. Frankly speaking, if you don't perform well, my attitude here will be useless. And if I tell Panetta that no one else can do it except you, I guess you will die soon."

Jolson nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand, I understand. I used to be Crawford's man and had nothing to do with Panetta. Whether I can become Panetta's man in the future depends on my performance."

"Take out your phone. Panetta is about to call you. Do you know what to say?"

Qiao Ersen quickly went to the refrigerator and took out his cell phone, then he said to Gao Yi: "What do you mean?"

"One principle is that you can never be on the same side as us. If you want Panetta to trust you, you must be someone without a backer or foundation, just an ordinary subordinate of Crawford. But if you follow Crawford, you can only follow him to the end. If Panetta asks you tentatively how you will deal with Crawford, remember, you must never add insult to injury. You must protect Crawford to the death!" Jolson was stunned and said, "Why? Should I speak well of Crawford?"

At this moment, Jolson's phone rang. Sure enough, Panetta called Jolson without hesitation.

Gao Yi said hurriedly: "No one likes a traitor who sells out his master for fame and fortune! Traitors must die! Remember my words, remember!"

Jolson nodded and answered the phone.

As expected, Panetta asked Jolson a lot of questions, especially about what his plan was and how Crawford did it. However, Panetta did not ask very detailed questions about the entire operation. Later, Panetta began to ask about Jolson's resume.

If Panetta wants to get Jolson's information and resume, it only takes a word for him. Panetta definitely knows exactly what Jolson has done since he joined the CIA until today. The reason Panetta doesn't know it now is simply because he didn't pay special attention to Jolson before.

In the past, Jolson was just a consumable, but now, whether it can be upgraded from a consumable to an accessory depends on Jolson's ability.

Even when Panetta contacted Jolson before, the call never lasted more than two minutes. He just asked a few questions to find out what was going on. This was the case even after leaving Crawford behind.

The fact that Panetta spent more than ten minutes on the phone and asked about Jolson's personal resume, which was readily available, showed that he had developed a strong interest in Jolson.

He asked Jolson what school he went to, how he entered the CIA, and what jobs he had done. But when Jolson was answering these questions normally, Panetta suddenly said something harsh.

"What do you think of Crawford?"

Qiao Ersen was silent. He didn't know how to answer, so he looked at Gao Yi.

Gao Yi spread his hands and let Jolson answer on his own.

That is silence, and silence is also an attitude.

After about five seconds of silence, Joelson finally said, "Mr. Crawford is my boss, and he is a good boss."

He answered politely and said nice things, but the few seconds of silence showed that these were not Jolson's true thoughts.

Panetta said without any particular change of tone, "How much did you charge?"

Jolson was silent again. He did not panic. After ten seconds of silence, he whispered, "I didn't take any money, sir. I didn't take a single dollar!"

Gao Yi gave Crawford 10 million, but he didn't give it to Jolson. The problem is, Crawford didn't give Jolson a penny.

It's hard to imagine and understand.

Panetta said calmly, "So how much did Crawford receive?"

Crawford received 10 million, and Jolson watched the whole process. He knew very well that if he told the truth now, Crawford would be dead.

This time, Jolson said without hesitation: "No, he didn't take the money!"

There is no room for hesitation this time. Even if Panetta has all the evidence of Crawford's crimes, the evidence cannot be spoken by Jolson. What he has to do is to keep silent and be absolutely loyal.

Panetta said calmly, "You know I can find that out easily."

"no!"

Jolson's performance was too straight, but that's exactly what we want.

If loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal. If you want to gain the favor of a big shot, you must not be a traitor. This is an absolute principle.

Jolson said little, but his attitude was firm.

But Panetta was in a high position, and he knew how to quickly use rhetoric to get Jolson to talk. This was the advantage of being in a high position, as long as Jolson had to answer his questions.

"From what I understand, Bu San must have paid you for cooperating with you. You said you didn't take the money, which is wrong. So tell me, what benefits did Bu San promise you, and how did he give it to you?"

You can confiscate it, but you will definitely benefit from it, so tell it now.

Qiao Ersen took a breath, he hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "I didn't, no, I... really didn't take any money."

"Tell the truth, don't insult my intelligence."

Listening to Panetta's words, Joelson took a breath and whispered, "Mr. Crawford and I will benefit later, but we are not taking any money now, no!"

Panetta was silent for a moment, then he said softly: "Come back, I have something to tell you. The plan for Yemen is about to be implemented. There is no time to waste. Hurry up."

It was just an order, and he could say it over the phone that Panetta wanted Jolson to go back, which meant he wanted to test him face to face. In other words, Jolson officially caught Panetta's attention.

Now there are Gao Yi's people from top to bottom in the CIA.
