Chapter 507: Active Strike (Part 2)

While the three were conversing, one English word appeared repeatedly.

COMPANY!

Unfortunately, Sun Cheng was not unfamiliar with this English word.

In English, it means a company; it seems ordinary enough, but if it comes out of the mouths of three people suspected of working in intelligence, then this word is endowed with another meaning.

The Central Intelligence Agency, abbreviated as CIA, has a code word among spies and intelligence agency personnel of various countries, and that word is exactly COMPANY.

"... Should I take the initiative to make contact..."

After basically confirming the other party's identity, the gloom that had persisted in Sun Cheng's heart for more than half a month gradually faded, and he rested his chin on his hand to think.

In the 【Transformers Universe】, he already had quite a bit of experience dealing with national-level forces.

Although Sun Cheng also knew that his several successes in the other world mostly relied on the Frenzy Body, which was vastly different from human form.

After all, there are alien creatures in the other world, and his appearance before several national forces in the form of a Decepticon, an extraterrestrial life form, to take the initiative to contact them undoubtedly gave a good start for subsequent cooperation.

But the root of true success, to put it bluntly, is profit.

Being able to produce things that make any country tempted—this was the key to his several successes in the other world.

And such things, Sun Cheng is not lacking in the 【Transformers Universe】, and he is even less lacking in the real world.

"The top priority is to first figure out which agency the other party belongs to!"

The domestic government currently recognizes only two intelligence agencies: one is the Ministry of State Security, responsible for supervising foreign intelligence personnel in China to prevent infiltration by foreign forces, as well as dispatching intelligence personnel abroad to spy on other countries' intelligence.

And the second is the Foreign Intelligence Investigation Bureau, which is the existence often jokingly referred to by domestic netizens as 'Foreign Intelligence Agency'.

As for whether there are other intelligence agencies within the military or the government, Sun Cheng does not know.

His foundation in the real world is still very weak, and with the limited resources currently in his hands, there are many things he cannot access, so he can only guess the other party's identity based on the two available options.

It is very important to figure out whether this group of people watching him comes from the Ministry of State Security or the Foreign Intelligence Investigation Bureau.

After all, the focus of the Ministry of State Security and the Foreign Intelligence Investigation Bureau is different; the former's status is undoubtedly higher than the latter. The Ministry of State Security is responsible for intelligence related to military and political fields, with a status equivalent to the central ministries, reporting only to the President. Various street literature and overseas news on the internet have mentioned more than once that it is deeply involved with the Ministry of National Defense and even the military.

The Foreign Intelligence Investigation Bureau is more inclined to investigate intelligence in fields such as technology, industry, and the economy, and has a cooperative relationship with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Finance, and other ministries, and is closer to them.

Only by knowing whether the people watching him come from the Ministry of State Security or the Foreign Intelligence Investigation Bureau can Sun Cheng better choose what to bring out to 'go fishing'.

He has plenty of good things in his hands. In the 【Transformers Universe】, with the appearance of a group of Decepticon bigwigs, before returning this time, he had already returned to the China of the other world, just because he was afraid that the world factory would also be targeted by the 【Decepticon Legion】, and he would lose another trump card when he clashed with them.

As a result, a very potential industrial country can only be used by him as a procurement channel for raw materials and primary products for the time being.

However, it is precisely because of this that Sun Cheng used his two opportunities to return to the real world to bring a large amount of Cybertron Technology to the real world.

Among these things, there are technologies that have been modified by the Decepticon Engineers under his command to be more suitable for Earth, as well as a large amount of advanced equipment and instruments.

Since now not only are the Americans starting to suspect that he obtained things from an alien civilization on Nublar Island, but even the domestic side has started to investigate him.

Then, between the two choices of passively accepting the investigation and keeping the initiative in his own hands, Sun Cheng undoubtedly chooses the second one.

If he can really establish a connection with the state, not only will his development plan in the real world be greatly accelerated, but some unnecessary troubles can also be pushed to the state to block for him.

Of course, the above are all just the most ideal situations.

Any national force is composed of politicians, and dealing with politicians carries great risks.

In the 【Transformers Universe】, Sun Cheng almost witnessed the political changes in Moscow for nearly a year, and has also experienced many scenes of intrigue and deceit, and he has even encountered moments of facing life and death more than once.

There, he still had the Frenzy Body to give him a chance to fight to the death, but what about the real world? A pistol bullet that costs only a few cents can take his life.

Therefore, profit alone is not enough.

Wealth moves people's hearts; who knows if the good things he brings out will cause some politicians to have crooked thoughts.

Inside Safe House No. 3, it became quiet for a moment, until a cell phone ringtone interrupted Sun Cheng's thoughts, breaking the silence that had lasted for a long time.

The phone that Xiao Wu transformed into 'grew' four slender metal legs, and it jumped from a workbench a few meters away to his side.

Sun Cheng took it and saw that it was Ye Qi calling.

Glancing at the time on the phone, he noticed that he had stayed in the safe house for too long today, more than half an hour later than the time he usually got home.

He immediately answered the phone, and Ye Qi's questioning voice came from the other side, "Hey, it's me... Why are you back so late today? Are you not eating dinner at home?"

"... There are some things at the company to deal with, I'm done now, I'll be home soon, you cook first..."

When Ye Qi first signed with the Yuegui Network, in order to avoid competition with some big streamers, her streaming time was arranged from 8:00 PM to 4:00 AM.

Although she is no longer in the initial state of signing, she seems to have become accustomed to the life of a night owl, still streaming at night, and even after the stream ends, she likes to stay up late watching movies, scrolling through videos, and so on, going to sleep very late.

So she basically makes up for sleep during the day, and her usual outdoor activities are in the afternoon.

After hanging up the phone, Sun Cheng got up and stretched, but if others looked closely, they could clearly see the wrinkles between his eyebrows; it was obvious that he still had thoughts in his heart that he hadn't sorted out.

Glancing at Fuchou, who had been standing still for more than an hour, looking like a model toy, Sun Cheng felt a little envious.

He had fantasized more than once about being able to retain the Frenzy Body after returning to the real world.

Just as he was about to let Fuchou change back into the laptop form and then leave the safe house with him.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind, making Sun Cheng feel as if his whole body had been struck by lightning, and he couldn't help but slap his own face hard.

"... I pride myself on being a smart person, but I have really been very foolish during this time... Riding a horse to look for a horse, this is riding a horse to look for a horse..."

Muttering in his mouth, his face, which had not had intense emotional fluctuations for a long time, was now looking slightly ferocious because of his excitement.

However, Sun Cheng didn't care about that.

Because just now, a flash of inspiration that suddenly popped into his mind not only made him think of how to deal with the national forces in the real world, but at the same time, the problem that his own body in the real world was too weak, which he had been troubled by for a long time, was also solved by him.

Next, it should be his turn to take the initiative.
