About an hour later, the Consulate General in Los Angeles.
After lunch, the Consul General returned to the office and was preparing to handle some things.
At this moment, Ma Ming, who had just returned to the Consulate General, knocked on the door and walked in.
When he came to the desk, he immediately whispered:
"Consul Chen, I discovered something very interesting and I need to report it to you."
"What's interesting? Tell me about it."
Consul Chen asked curiously.
Ma Ming did not answer, but looked at a door to the side.
Inside that door is an absolutely soundproof secret room that can isolate all surveillance and monitoring methods.
Seeing this scene, Consul Chen still didn't understand what it meant.
He immediately took out his mobile phone, took off his watch and other items and put them on his desk, then led Ma Ming into the secret room.
After entering the secret room and closing the door, Ma Ming immediately scanned the environment.
Then, he took out two mobile hard drives and a small memory card from his pocket and placed them on the only table.
"Consul Chen, this is what I found in my car."
"Before leaving the Consulate General in the morning, I carefully checked the vehicle as usual, and there was absolutely no such thing."
“I just came back from Los Angeles Airport and did a routine security check, only to find that there were more of these things.”
Ma Ming briefly introduced the situation and sounded quite excited.
Consul Chen was stunned for a moment, then asked:
"After leaving the Consulate General, was your car out of sight? Who got in your car during this time?"
Ma Ming nodded and continued to introduce the situation.
"I never left the car. The most I did was get off the bus for a while."
"Except for Liu Jie and others from the Counselor's Office, only that kid Xiao Ran got in my car during this period."
"Liu Jie and the others have been sitting in the back seat, but these items were found under the passenger seat. Only Xiao Ran has sat in the passenger seat."
Upon hearing this, Consul Chen's eyes suddenly became brighter.
"It's interesting. It seems like that kid Xiao Ran did it. It was probably a surprise!"
"I just don't know what's in these two mobile hard drives and digital memory cards?"
As he said that, he picked up a mobile hard drive and looked through it.
At this moment, Ma Ming suddenly interrupted and said:
"Consul, when I found these things, there was a printed note on each of the two mobile hard drives."
"There are four words written on it. Read it when you return home."
"There is no note on the digital memory card. Both notes were destroyed."
The Consul General smiled and nodded.
"This kid is really cautious and does a very good job. He is a good seedling!"
"I'm more interested now in what's on these hard drives and memory cards."
"Since this guy reminded me, we won't open the mobile hard drive and just look at the contents of this digital memory card."
As he spoke, he suddenly turned around and walked towards the wall behind him.
Ma Ming quickly turned around and faced the door.
When he came to the wall, Leader Chen looked back at Ma Ming before reaching out and pressing on the wall.
The next moment, a thin gap suddenly appeared in that seamless wall.
Immediately afterwards, the wall on the left side of the gap slowly opened outward.
What followed was a safe embedded in the wall.
Obviously, the place where Consul Chen pressed the button just now was actually a sensing device, but it was just disguised as a wall.
It is estimated that only he knows the exact location of the sensor device, and only his fingerprints and palm prints can trigger the sensor device.
Naturally, only he can open the safe hidden in the wall.
After a while, the Consul General returned to his desk again holding a heavy laptop.
While putting down his laptop, he whispered:
"You can turn around now, Ma Ming"
After receiving the order, Ma Ming turned around.
Consul Chen nodded, then opened his laptop, picked up the digital memory card, and inserted it into the corresponding slot on the computer.
After some operations, the contents of the digital memory card finally appeared on the screen of this highly secure laptop.
Seeing what appeared on the computer screen, the Consul General was stunned for a moment.
"Ah! This is the Mars Science Laboratory project run by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory"
With an exclamation, Ma Ming was shocked and stunned.
After a while, the two of them woke up.
Immediately afterwards, Consul Chen immediately began to check other contents in the digital memory card.
During the process of checking the information, his fingers were trembling slightly, and his eyes were red with excitement.
However, there is too much data in this digital memory card.
For a while, he couldn't finish watching it at all.
Although he cannot understand these cutting-edge scientific research materials, he is very aware of the huge value of these research materials.
After just flipping through a dozen pages, Consul Chen stopped and was stunned again.
At this time, his eyes were red and his whole body was trembling.
Fortunately, he was in good health and could still stand and did not collapse to the ground.
He was stunned for about two or three minutes before he woke up.
Then, he carefully pulled out the digital memory card and held it firmly in his hand.
"These are priceless treasures. It would be great if the two mobile hard drives also contain top-secret research information from JPL!"
"Xiao Ran is such a good boy. He has made a huge contribution to the country!"
Consul Chen said excitedly.
While he was speaking, he suddenly changed the subject.
"Ma Ming, destroy this laptop immediately, in front of me!"
"Take out the hard drive from the computer and smash it into pieces!"
As the head of security at the Consulate General, Ma Ming still didn’t know what these words meant.
He instantly realized how valuable those two mobile hard drives and digital memory cards were.
"Okay, Consul Chen, I'll destroy the computer right away!"
Ma Ming nodded and took action immediately.
Ten minutes later, under the supervision of Consul Chen, the specially made laptop was destroyed.
Especially the hard drive used to store data was smashed into pieces.
Seeing that the computer was completely destroyed, Consul Chen let out a sigh of relief.
Then, he fell into deep thought.
After thinking for about five minutes, he said in a deep voice:
"Ma Ming, these two mobile hard drives and digital memory cards are really important."
"It is very likely to store a large amount of top-secret research information from NASA and JPL laboratories, and it is the most cutting-edge research information."
"These research materials are extremely precious and truly priceless and must not be lost."
"We must find a way to send these materials back to the country. Don't let that kid Xiao Ran down, let alone let down the country!"
Without any hesitation, Ma Ming said decisively:
"Don't worry, Consul Chen, leave this matter to me!"
"Even if I risk my life, I will send this information back to the country."
Consul Chen nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then continued:
"Only you and I know this matter, and we must not disclose it to a third person, otherwise it will be treason!"
"If the news is leaked and the Americans know about it, you and I will die without mercy!"
Then, he suddenly changed the subject.
"As a precaution, these top-secret information cannot be sent back to the country via diplomatic parcels. If they are not properly secured, U.S. Customs will inspect the diplomatic parcels."
"It seems that the only option is to take the sea route. You can find a way to secretly take this information to sea."
"After you arrive in the high seas, someone will pick you up and then take this information back to your country."
"After you hand over the information to the handler, return to Los Angeles to avoid causing diplomatic disputes."
Ma Ming nodded firmly and said:
"I promise to complete the task, don't worry!"
Consul Chen nodded, and then continued:
"Next, I will send you back to the country. Even I may have to return to the country to report on my work."
"After returning to China this time, you will stay in China for a while. Even if you are sent abroad again, you will not be sent to the United States!"
"You have to be mentally prepared for this. The Consulate General will handle the follow-up matters."
Next, they discussed for a while before ending the conversation.
Afterwards, Consul Chen put two mobile hard drives and digital memory cards into the safe in the wall, and then took Ma Ming out of the secret room.
The first time he returned to the office, Consul Chen suddenly said:
"In the future, the Consulate General will vigorously support Xiao Ran's company and antique shop, and provide this boy with as much help and convenience as possible!"
"The most important thing is to ensure his safety."
"I'm sure this kid will bring more and bigger surprises in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Ming immediately smiled and nodded.
"Yes! Who would have thought that this guy could accomplish such a big thing!"
