Lost and Spy

Chapter 3469 You Are the Eyes
In Li Zhifeng's eyes, Randall, who could only sit in a wheelchair, had lost any ability to contact the outside world.

but
Only Randall himself knows that he is in control of everything here.

The only threat comes from the "Paper Towel Project" in Port Durapura.

And such a huge and terrifying organization could never be a monolithic entity.

He firmly believed that Steven had already started to take action.

Randall's trust is not without reason, Steven has indeed started to take action.

This small coffee shop was said to have been run by a very beautiful proprietress in the past.

Later, the proprietress disappeared for some unknown reason.

Then, a local man named Aristide took over the café.

Aristide was a native of Porto Durapura.

Normally, the business of this cafe is not particularly good.

But Aristide was a hard-working man and always kept the cafe clean, regardless of whether there were customers in the store or not.

He must ensure that every guest who comes is in a good mood.

He got up very early every day, made preparations before opening the store, and then opened the store door.

Today we had guests early in the morning.

This person is not very old and is a foreigner who looks like an American.

"Hello, sir," Aristide said politely.

"Hello."

The foreigner ordered the only set meal in the store.

After a while, the set meal he ordered came up.

Aristides is still very confident in his craftsmanship.

The foreigner finished his food leisurely, took a sip of coffee, and then sat down at the bar with the cup of coffee.

Not surprising at all.

Many guests like to do this and chat with the boss.

And Aristide is a particularly good chatterbox.

"My name is Ziad." The foreigner introduced himself: "I'm here to do business."

"Ah, sir, welcome to Porto Dula," Aristide said enthusiastically. "Although this place is not as big and prosperous as Manila, it is still a place worth leaving behind for you to remember. If you need anything, I will be happy to answer your questions."

"Ah, yes, I happen to have some questions for you, Mr. Aristide."

As soon as Ziad said this, Aristide, who was smiling, was about to say something, but his smile suddenly disappeared.

Mr. Aristide?
But I didn't have time to tell the other person my name.

How did he know?
Aristide tried to force a smile on his face: "Mr. Ziad, have you seen me before?"

"No." Ziad said lightly, "But I know who you are."

"Really?" Aristide was a little surprised.

Ziad nodded and said, "Aristide, you were born and raised in the port of Durapura and have never left here. Your parents are well-educated and were highly valued by the Americans when they managed the port.

Later, the Japanese occupied Luzon Island, and your parents, relying on their Japanese language skills, were quickly employed by the Japanese and helped them rule the port of Dulapura. They were considered traitors. And you grew up in this atmosphere.

Your parents attached great importance to your education. You received a strict education from childhood to adulthood. You are proficient in English and Japanese. Moreover, after the Japanese occupied the port of Durapura, you also helped the Japanese do many bad things. Am I right about what I said?"

Aristide's face was gloomy.

Every word the other person said was something he had experienced.

Ziad continued: "Later, the Japanese were defeated and the port of Durapura returned to the hands of the Americans. Your parents and you were arrested for treason. But strangely, you were released not long after.

The official reason given was that you rescued some members of the resistance organization during the Japanese rule. What's even more amazing is that those so-called members of the resistance organization who were rescued by you actually returned to Port Durapura to testify for you. It's really incredible.

You know, there has never been any resistance organization in Durapura Port, and you have never left the port, so how did you rescue the members of the resistance organization? I can't figure it out, and there is only one explanation: someone secretly planned all this.

So, if this is true, the person or organization that can plan everything must have a huge background and strong power, and can even call the wind and rain. And the reason they want to rescue you is because you are still useful to them. "

"Who are you?" Aristide's face changed completely.

"Don't worry about who I am." Ziad smiled and said, "Why does this organization want to use you? Because they need to place countless pairs of eyes in Port Durapura. You are a local and are fluent in English and Japanese. You are one of the best candidates for eyes.

The conditions they proposed to you were to release you and your parents in a timely manner, ensure your safety, and not to pursue your past any further. In order to save your life, you agreed to their conditions, and from that moment on, you truly became an eye."

Aristide's hand quietly reached under the table.

"Do you want to take a weapon?" Ziad said calmly, "I personally advise you not to do this. Maybe you are good at English and Japanese, but you are definitely not good at using a gun. Moreover, even if you can kill me, you will definitely cause trouble. An organization behind you cannot save you from trouble!"

Aristide hesitated for a moment, but eventually pulled his hand back.

"That's right. I'm here to have a good talk with you." Ziad smiled again. "Let's talk calmly. Mr. Aristide, I have to inform you with regret that the Americans are about to restart their investigation into you and your parents."

"No, impossible!" Aristide blurted out.

But then he seemed to have thought of something and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Ziad helped him continue: "Are you trying to say that those people promised to protect you and your family? You are wrong. When we decide to restart the investigation, those people behind you will not come forward, because they know very well that sacrificing you can protect their bigger secrets.

As for what the secret is, you actually know it, so you know that what I said is true. As for me, I am the most crucial person who decided to reopen the investigation. Mr. Aristide, do you still have any doubts about what I said now? "
