The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 400 The Curse Shocks People's Hearts, We Must Take It Seriously
Austin, the head of the security department, received the news and discovered that Russell himself was in the Coast Building. He was the on-site construction supervisor of iFlytek, a long-term partner of Twitter.

He immediately checked Russell's information filed by the Security Department.

Russell has worked at iFlytek for more than eight years and has never had any problems. He is currently a key technical and management member of iFlytek. He comes from Lithuania, a country that is extremely hostile to Russia, and is a first-generation immigrant.

As a country of immigrants, similar situations are all too common. At least 30% of Twitter's employees are first-generation immigrants from all over the world, including Russians and Ukrainians.

Considering the work Russell was doing, Austin reported it to Edward immediately for safety reasons.

Edward and Lola were old acquaintances, so he went to ask her a few questions.

It was nothing at first, but the Savior suddenly remembered one thing: Brian Ferguson, the leader of the Curse God Cult, had cursed Russian spies in Washington.

That was a super bad luck, and his curse came true many times. Hawke and Erica were in danger many times.

Even in Covina, the leader of the Curse Cult almost cursed himself to death.

Edward did not dare to underestimate it and immediately found Hawke: "Brian said something in Washington."

Hawke remembered the curse of the leader of the Curse God Cult and said, "I'm going to sew this bastard's mouth shut later!"

The curse has come true too many times to be underestimated.

Hawke came to the security office, met Lola, and asked what happened.

Seeing that Hawke was alarmed by the incident, Lola told him everything that had happened with Russell, even the part where she attacked Russell.

After Hawke listened, he asked a few key questions: "How long have you and Russell known each other?"

"It's been a long time." Laura thought carefully: "After Twitter was founded, it acquired the website that Kasim and I created. I began to be responsible for hardware work. When replacing the second batch of servers, the company fully cooperated with iFlytek. At that time, I knew Russell. It has been two years now."

Hawke then asked, "Has he pursued you in the past two years?"

Laura shook her head slowly: "No, never." She said a bunch of scumbag words: "I wanted to sleep with him at one point and gave him a few hints, but he was a bit unromantic and didn't understand it at all. Later, I lost interest in him until a week ago, when he suddenly started pursuing me."

Edward reminded, "The time period when we returned from Washington."

This may sound funny, but Hawke has experienced it time and time again and dare not take it lightly.

And something was clearly not right.

No one is willing to take risks, especially someone like Hawke, who is worthy of being hung on lampposts by the American people.

He told Laura: "Don't show any abnormality, and work as usual."

Laura nodded: "I will."

Hawke looked at Austin again: "You are not capable of dealing with well-trained spies. Do not allow anyone to monitor you except electronic surveillance."

Austin responded, "Understood."

Professional matters should naturally be left to professionals. Hawke took out his cell phone and dialed Jennifer Huey's number directly.

When the call was connected, he said, "I may have discovered a Russian spy here."

Jennifer couldn't understand: "We just caught one, and they sent another one to cause trouble? And you found him?"

Hawke also couldn't understand: "I don't understand it either."

"What should we do with this guy?" Jennifer respected Hawke's opinion on this matter. "Should I have someone follow him for a long time and root him out?"

Hawke had doubts. It was impossible for him to leave a time bomb in the company. He said, "Get rid of the person. I believe that with your means, it should not be difficult to find out whether he is a spy or not."

"Where is the other person?" Jennifer hoped that it was really a spy. This would not only turn the previous spy case into a super ironclad case, but also allow her to gain a new achievement.

Even if she doesn't need it, her subordinates will.

As her position gets higher and higher, Jennifer will also need a group of reliable people to do the job.

Hawke explained the situation quickly and concisely.

Jennifer made a prompt decision: "I'll take people there right away."

Hawke said, "I'll wait for you in the company's security room."

Lola was a little dazed for a moment. She initially just felt it was unsafe and filed a case at the security department, but how did it turn into catching a spy?

In the office, Jennifer hung up the phone, called her assistant in, and said, "Notify Bernardo and Chick to gather their teams and stand by. Everyone, hand in your cell phones and follow me."

The assistant hurried to inform the two captains.

Ten minutes later, several unmarked FBI vehicles drove out of the branch office one after another and headed straight for Santa Monica.

Jennifer is not afraid of arresting the wrong person, the FBI has plenty of means.

She was already thinking about how to link the two cases together to achieve greater feats.

…………

In Coast Building, Hawke asked Lola to continue working normally, and he stayed in the security office to observe Russell through surveillance.

This man looked normal, with a rough beard, and he was very serious when commanding his subordinates. He didn't seem to have anything to do with being a spy.

Hawke's most profound impression of the Russian spies was swallows and crows.

There are too many descriptions of the two in various film, television and literary works in previous lives.

Hawke remembered that his cousin seemed to have starred in a similar movie.

Not long after, Jennifer led her people to the first floor from the freight elevator and entered the security room.

Hawke pointed to the surveillance screen and said, "Did you see that? The man with a red helmet and a big beard is the target, Russell."

Jennifer waved, and Chick and Bernardo each brought their assistants to confirm the target's appearance. Hawke said, "I'll have someone call him to the switch room. There's no one there except the security guards. You can quietly control him."

"Okay." Jennifer turned to her subordinates and said, "Go and arrange it."

Austin led the way: "This way."

Hawke said to a security guard, "Switch to the switch room."

The picture on the big screen was quickly adjusted and divided into four grids, showing the switch room photographed from different angles.

Hawke nodded at Edward.

Edward called Laura: “Let’s start.”

…………

In the computer room on the north side of Coast Building, technicians from iFlytek are busy.

Russell sat on a platform, feeling uneasy.

The black guy came over and asked, "Boss, what's wrong? Did Lola reject your pursuit?"

Russell shook his head. “Actually, we stayed together last night.”

"Wow, it's progressing so fast!" The black guy blinked his eyes and asked, "How does it feel?"

Russell scratched his beard and said, "It feels like I've been fucked."

The phone rang at this time. He saw that it was Laura calling, so he quickly answered: "Hi, dear, I'm in the north computer room."

Laura spoke quickly: "Come to the south side computer room. There are some precautions you need to know about the failure that occurred this morning."

"I'll be there soon." He jumped off the stage, put away his phone, and reminded everyone, "Be careful, don't make any mistakes."

The black guy said, "Boss, go ahead and have your date. There won't be any problems on our side."

Russell didn't respond, but went out alone, walked around the corridor, and came to the corridor where the switch room was located.

Normally no one comes here, only security personnel patrol.

Russell walked quickly towards the switch room. When he passed the place opposite the restroom and the utility room, he heard noises from both sides at the same time and someone rushed over.

The two strongest agents of the FBI pounced on Russell like brown bears.

Russell tried to struggle, but was thrown to the ground.

In a flash, five or six people rushed forward.

These FBI agents were very professional. Some of them held down Russell's arms, while others held down his legs.

Someone immediately ripped Russell's clothes open so that he couldn't bite his collar.

Others pinched his jaw and examined his mouth to see if he had any false teeth.

Russell struggled desperately but couldn't get free. He could only mumble, "What are you doing! What are you going to do!"

A nimble little white man ran over, stuffed a leather ball gag into Russell's mouth, and tied it behind his head.

Then he took out a black hood and whispered, "FBI! Buddy, your case has been exposed, come with us!"

Upon hearing the word FBI, Russell's tense body suddenly relaxed. He stopped struggling and seemed to have accepted his fate.

At this moment, what he thought of was the absurd mission instructions from Moscow, as well as the sadness and helplessness of being a pawn of spineless politicians.

With his hands tied, several agents quickly searched him. All the items they found were put into evidence bags under the recorder, and then Russell was pulled up from the ground.

Bernardo came over to check Russell's face, glanced at the work tag he was wearing, and confirmed that he was the right person. He said, "Take him away."

The short white man put a black hood on Russell.

FBI agents dragged Russell toward the other corridor.

Over there, Austin had cleared out an elevator room.

Russell was taken into the underground parking lot and stuffed into a business car.

On the other side, Chick and his men controlled Russell's workers.

In the security room on the first floor, Jennifer watched the entire arrest process through surveillance and said to Hawke, "I will go back and immediately conduct an interrogation, and will also summon the relevant personnel from iFlytek."

Hawke said: "Please inform me as soon as there is a result."

Jennifer nodded slightly and quickly walked out of the security room.

Hawke then said to Edward, "Notify all deputy directors and above to hold a meeting. Luo La will hold a meeting."

iFlytek is a long-term partner of Twitter and has been responsible for the access of optical cable lines. Although there have never been any problems in the past, it is very necessary to conduct a comprehensive inspection of all optical cables.

And Lola, if Russell's identity as a spy is confirmed, the company will definitely reward her handsomely.

The most basic requirement is to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments.

We can't just give verbal and spiritual rewards, otherwise people's hearts will soon fall away.

Half an hour later, Twitter held an internal meeting, and Lola's news was quite shocking.

Like Hawke, management couldn't understand why the Russians chose such a sensitive moment to send spies.
