Identity
002
There was still enough oil in the tank. Lu Jia immediately turned on the air conditioner. Her hot skin felt cold and she finally relaxed completely.
Whoever Gordon was, Luka felt she was saved.
However, what was strange was that the person was doing something in the bush under the bright sun. Could it be that something had fallen?
However, not long after, Lu Jia felt the car shake slightly. She subconsciously raised her head and looked through the rearview mirror.
The man named Gordon sat in the back seat. From this angle, he happened to have his face tilted to the side, revealing his well-defined jaw line. He lowered his gaze, his golden eyelashes swaying gently like butterfly wings. At the same time, crystal sweat quickly flowed down his neck and entered his open collar.
Lu Jia retracted her gaze nonchalantly.
She had always been willing to help others. It was definitely not just because he was handsome. More importantly, the weather was hot and there were few people here. If she did not drive him, he would only be waiting for death.
However, although Lu Jia agreed to his request, he was still a strange and strong man. She was still somewhat vigilant and decided to wait until the nearest city to drop him off.
……
Finally, she could continue her journey. Lu Jia didn't care much about it. She sat happily in the driver's seat and started the car again. It was the first time she felt that the noise of the engine was so pleasant.
The car started to drive faster and slower. Lu Jia looked at the navigation system as she drove along the long road, but she also unconsciously looked through the rearview mirror. She suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little too quiet. She didn't like this kind of silence.
Her gaze happened to touch the wet tissue that she had casually placed aside. She remembered that there was still blood on the handsome man's face, so she freed one hand to pass the wet tissue back.
"…Hey."
As soon as Lu Jia opened her mouth, the other party immediately looked straight at her through the rearview mirror with his emotionless gray-blue eyes, especially the bloodstains on his face. Therefore, the moment they met, the intense contrast made her almost forget what she wanted to say.
"You, you…look a little bad. Wipe it first?"
Fortunately, Lu Jia looked away in time, so she didn't turn into a stutter.
"Thank you."
A stiff and numb thank you sound came from behind, followed by the sound of wiping.
The atmosphere suddenly became strangely heavy, as if the air in the confined space had frozen.
Lu Jia was a little flustered, so she opened her mouth to break the silence.
"Mr. Gordon, speaking of which, how did you suddenly get into an accident? This is really terrible."
“……”
Lu Jia didn't care if the other party didn't answer for a long time." Where do you live? My next destination is Las Vegas, near where you live-"
"-Can I borrow your phone? Thank you."
Gordon hadn't said anything before, but he interrupted Lu Jia and asked her to borrow his phone.
Lu Jia hesitated at first, but when she thought about how the other party had encountered such a serious car accident, she guessed that her phone had also been scrapped. She indeed needed to inform her family that she was safe.
Therefore, she picked up her phone, unlocked it, and sent it behind her." You can use it. I bought a phone card before I came."
Lu Jia felt that the weight in her hand lightened, and then she looked behind her through the rearview mirror again.
However, in the next second, Lu Jia couldn't help but frown.
The man named Gordon had already put on a dark suit jacket at some point, and the phone case had fallen to one side. His slender fingers were holding a multifunctional folding tool that appeared out of nowhere and pointing it at the side of her phone.
Lu Jia was about to open her mouth when she saw the card slot on the side of the phone pop out. Her index finger and thumb took out the phone card and broke it easily with a click.
Gordon had obviously noticed Lu Jia's dumbfounded expression, but he still pressed down the window calmly and threw her scrapped card out.
……？!
Lu Jia was confused as she drove. She wanted to shout and stop him, but she seemed to see something even more amazing through the rearview mirror.
When Gordon threw the card, a hard outline with a dark luster seemed to be faintly exposed inside the suit jacket.
Although Lu Jia knew that guns were rampant in the United States, she could not help but freeze in place when she thought of this possibility.
A series of terrifying video images flooded into his brain.
She subconsciously stepped on the brakes. She couldn't care less about how hot it was outside. Right now, Lu Jia just wanted to abandon the car and escape quickly. She wanted to stay away from this perverted murderer!
"Squeak-"
The sudden braking caused an unpleasant noise to be heard from the friction between the tires and the ground. The strong inertia caused her brain to become even more confused. She finally managed to control her swaying body. Just as she was about to open the car door and escape, Lu Jia heard a click coming from behind her head in the next second.
Freeze.
Lu Jia's breathing trembled as she tried to verify her guess through the rearview mirror again.
As expected, a dark muzzle had already been quietly aimed at the back of his head. The blood in his body immediately froze, and his mind went blank.
"-don't move."
The man named Gordon had an indifferent expression, as if the sudden braking had no effect on him. He only said indifferently," Otherwise, I'm not sure if the gun will be fired."
Lu Jia was too scared. Although she had learned English quite well, her brain had already shut down in the face of such a situation. She had no way to accurately translate what the other party said.
However, she could guess what this meant.
In short, Lu Jia was not far from death.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but believe in the divine woman's prophecy, but now was definitely not the time to think about it!
So she bit her lower lip, raised her trembling hands, and let out half-genuine sobs of fear.
"Don't kill me! I don't know anything! I just came to America to travel..."
"Yes, yes, I'm blind to foreigners 'faces! I don't know what you look like... Let me go! Please!"
“……”
Perhaps Lu Jia's words had an effect, but after the other party lowered his eyes for a moment, his hand aimed at the back of her head shook slightly. His tone was slightly calm." I don't intend to hurt you."
As he spoke, the man named Gordon extended his index finger, which was originally on the trigger, and raised the muzzle upward, indicating that he would not shoot. It was as if pointing the gun at someone just now was just a joke.
At the same time, his other hand suddenly reached into the inside pocket of his coat and showed Lu Jia an ID.
“FBI。”
" I believe you've heard of the 'prism incident' exposed by Snowden. What you did just now was to ensure our mutual safety. Please forgive me."
"I just need you to continue driving."
Lu Jia was even more stunned. After all, this sudden turn of events was completely unimaginable. One second, the other party acted like a pervert murderer, and the next second, he became Buddha Boller?
She opened her mouth repeatedly, but she didn't know what to do for a moment. After a long time, she realized that her heartbeat had become so loud.
Just…FBI?
Then why did he reveal his identity now? Was he lying to her?
Thinking of this, Lu Jia's vigilance quickly rose again. She realized that " Gordon " was about to put away the ID in his hand. She immediately turned her head and stared at him, trying to show her strength and anger." I want to confirm your ID again."
" Gordon " hesitated for a moment, then raised his right eyebrow noncommittally. It had to be said that the dirt on the man's face had been wiped clean, revealing a cleaner and straighter facial outline. Therefore, this expression was really charming, but he did not seem to care. He just handed over the ID in his hand indifferently.
Lu Jia nervously took it and stared at it intently.
The outer layer of this ID was a black leather layer. After opening, the upper half was the identification card. The three English letters FBI occupied a large area, and the right side of the ID was a photo.
Lu Jia held up the ID and carefully compared the face in the photo with the man sitting behind her. She had actually lied just now. Lu Jia loved watching American TV series and was not blind to Americans. The handsome and slightly immature man in the photo was indeed this person.
However, Lu Jia soon realized that something was wrong. The name on the lower left side of the ID was Caspar Phoenix, which had nothing to do with the " Gordon " he had mentioned earlier.
Also, there were no wounds on his face, so where did the blood come from?
Lu Jia couldn't help but swallow. His body, which had just relaxed, became tense again. Perhaps this ID was fake. He could have pasted his own photo on it.
Thinking of this, Lu Jia secretly scratched the position of the photo with her fingernails. However, unlike what she had guessed, there were no traces of sticking there.
"Gordon is a pseudonym."
He seemed to see through Lu Jia's thoughts and spoke calmly.
However, Lu Jia noticed the loophole and connected it to his previous actions. It seemed that he was afraid that his name would be monitored by the prism.
"Aren't you FBI? Why are you afraid of being monitored?"
The man whose real name was Phoenix suddenly twitched his lips. His handsome face revealed a fake smile without any smile. However, even so, it still softened the hostility and danger on his body, which made Lu Jia a little stunned.
"Good question."
"But…no comment."
No comment... Lu Jia came back to her senses and looked him up and down warily, but in the end, she slowly returned the ID in her hand to him.
She had a vague guess in her heart. After all, Lu Jia loved watching Hollywood movies with her father since she was young. According to the routine, with this handsome man in front of her in a sorry but special manner, she had already conceived of a suspenseful action-type popcorn movie that would earn at least one billion dollars at the global box office.
" Is it because... there's a mole in your team who slandered you as a bad person? That's why you have to avoid being monitored and think of a way to reverse the case for yourself?"
Phoenix didn't say anything. While playing with Lu Jia's phone, she looked up and glanced at her with her deep eyes.
The other party's silence gave Lu Jia confidence instead. Coupled with her strong curiosity about mysterious organizations that had always been exaggerated in movies and television works, she went up to him with a gossiping face." Buddy, I can help you better if you tell me the details, right?"
"Ha…sorry."
Phoenix suddenly couldn't help but chuckle. He inadvertently revealed his gun again, which was covered by his clothes. Then, the smile that flashed on his face quickly disappeared and he said coldly," Trust me. I don't know if you can live longer."
Lu Jia was speechless, but she didn't give up.
Thinking of her goal of traveling to the United States through part-time work and study, Lu Jia slowly tightened her grip on her leg.
Originally, she knew very well that there was no hope for her. She came to the United States to travel just to try her luck, but she didn't expect to meet an FBI agent under such circumstances, even though she was suspected to be on the run.
But even so, Lu Jia still said tentatively," I can take you for a ride. How about taking you to Las Vegas? It's full of gamblers and drunks. It should be good for you to hide, right?"
"So…after you reverse the verdict in the future, can you help me find someone?"
"This should be a very simple matter for you, right?"
Lu Jia blinked her dark, wet eyes and looked at him nervously.

Mwah!
