After the original password was handed over to the Russian agents, Ethan finally breathed a sigh of relief. The location of the nuclear missile launcher was left to the Russian agents to handle themselves. Anyway, the mastermind had been caught, and the remaining people, holding a launcher without the password, were useless.
At this moment, the few people finally sat down in the room.
Carter and Anna's gazes were clearly at odds because when Ethan went after Hendricks earlier, the two had a fierce exchange, each thinking the other was Hendricks' subordinate.
They fought to a standstill, though Anna was several notches above in appearance.
It was precisely because of their fight that Moreau was kicked down from the 119th floor.
However, it was a good thing that this mission was completed successfully. As for the assassin Moreau, if he died, he died. Carter also got his revenge.
Brandt and Dunn looked at Zhang Jie with wide eyes, but fortunately, Ethan came out and introduced him.
"This is Zhang, codenamed Night Owl, a professional assassin. With his help, I successfully caught Hendricks and completed our mission."
When introducing Zhang Jie's identity, Ethan always had a strange feeling.
After all, he was an agent of an official organization, and cooperating with an assassin felt incongruous no matter how he looked at it. Fortunately, Zhang Jie himself didn't feel much about it; he just did his job for money.
When it was time to introduce Anna, she brushed her hand through her hair and then stood up.
After glancing around at everyone present, she introduced herself directly, "Anna Schneider, active team leader of the Fifth Group, Fourth Intelligence Bureau of the CIA. This mission was also to retrieve the nuclear missile launcher and its password."
At this point, she even raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhang Jie, her expression saying: I am very satisfied.
Thanks to Zhang Jie, she wasn't completely exposed and arrested in Moscow. It was also because of Zhang Jie that this mission was successfully completed, rescuing her from her predicament.
Although her initial objective wasn't entirely pure, as they spent more time together, she grew to appreciate Zhang Jie more and more.
Regarding this, she could only sigh inwardly, realizing that the old woman's ability to judge people was much better than hers.
Faced with Anna's official self-introduction, Ethan also had to stand up.
"IMF Special Agent Action Team. Currently, due to the Ghost Protocol, we are completely hidden. I am team leader Ethan Hunt, this is technical expert Benji Dunn, strategic analysis expert William Brandt, and intelligence expert Jane Carter."
Such an official and formal introduction made Zhang Jie understand the identities of those present.
"The person you hired is quite skilled."
Ethan glanced at Zhang Jie and praised him again, while Anna ignored him and pulled out a tablet from her bag to operate it.
"I have fully uploaded the mission information. I think your Ghost Protocol should be canceled very soon."
They belonged to the same intelligence agencies, but were responsible for different missions. However, when a mission involved two different agencies, their intelligence could be shared.
For example, this time, the IMF was forced into 'ghost' status due to the explosion in Moscow, but after the CIA's intelligence mission was completed, they could completely update this intelligence, helping to restore the IMF's identity.
Such a result was undoubtedly what Ethan and his team needed.
Being able to fully restore their legal identity was extremely important to them.
"Next time we meet, you won't be so lucky."
Anna tapped Ethan's shoulder and said softly.
Ethan looked a bit awkward, glancing at Anna, then at his team members.
In the end, he could only say, "Thank you."
However, it was clear that the current situation was not suitable for the two to reminisce.
Subsequently, Anna led Zhang Jie to a corner, "Your mission is complete. This assignment was completed very smoothly, and I am very satisfied."
Saying this, Anna took out a black card from her handbag, "A Citibank anonymous black card, with 2 million usd inside. The password is six zeros."
Seeing the black card in Anna's hand, Zhang Jie's eyes lit up. He immediately took it and put it in his pocket.
This single job directly pushed Zhang Jie's savings past the 2 million usd mark.
Very good, extremely good.
It was just a pity that no gold coins were settled, otherwise, it would have been even better. But a 2 million usd payment, that was fantastic.
For Anna, the 2 million usd was well spent; it saved her life and simultaneously rescued her career.
Otherwise, whether she could even leave Moscow would still be a question.
But at the same time, she also developed a strong interest in Zhang Jie, "If there are similar missions in the future, I will find you."
As soon as she said this, Zhang Jie initially wanted to refuse, but considering the money, he thought about it and decided not to refuse.
Where could he find a job that paid 2 million usd per assignment?
Afterward, Ethan and the others also began to clean up their traces. After all, they had removed the hotel's windows, and now they would probably have to compensate the hotel some money.
Fortunately, they had regained their identities, and subsequent organizational support would be arranged, so this amount of money was nothing to them.
However, as Zhang Jie was about to leave, he saw Anna and Ethan talking about something.
But this was no longer his concern.
From June 30th to the current July 5th, and soon it would be July 6th, a full 7 days. It was quite strenuous to complete this mission, and the life-and-death crises he faced were probably only known to himself.
Before leaving, Zhang Jie didn't forget to take the GM6 anti-materiel sniper rifle with him.
He had acquired it through his own skill, so of course he had to take it. The way he took it was through the underground world's shipping service. Although the price was a bit high, for Zhang Jie now, it was just a drop in the bucket.
The shipping price was much cheaper compared to buying a brand new GM6 anti-materiel sniper rifle.
He just wondered how Ross and his team's mission was progressing?
Taking out his phone, Zhang Jie immediately called John. On the phone, he briefly explained some details of the mission to John, who breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it.
"Good job, kid, you went straight from Moscow to the UAE."
And he even connected with official organizations. It had to be said, this kid really had a knack.
In fact, everyone in the entire IMF team had Zhang Jie's contact information. Although they might not need it, this reliable man would always provide some help at the most critical moments.
After all, more friends mean more opportunities. Even if the other party was an assassin, what of it?
Didn't Anna, the team leader of the CIA's Special Agent Action Team, invite him to help, and he completed it successfully?
They were not rigid people. Requesting appropriate external assistance was worthwhile, and their operational funds were also sufficient. Hiring an assassin was not difficult, but hiring a reliable and capable assassin was not so simple.
Thus, for this Moscow mission, Zhang Jie gained the favor of Anna and the entire IMF team.
In Zhang Jie's view, this was not a loss at all. After all, favors were reciprocal; they found Zhang Jie useful, and Zhang Jie naturally found them useful.
One word: it was so damn worth it!
