"What could I do? They wanted it, so I had no choice but to give it to them."
"Let's put that aside for now. I'm very curious about how you joined them. Who recruited you, and what methods did they use to get you to harm the motherland that gave you birth and raised you?"
"Wasn't I studying in Russia?"
As Zhang Haiyan spoke, she saw Zheng Haishan nod as if he knew about her studying abroad.
"The economy in Russia is getting worse and worse, and prices are slowly increasing. Not only are the local people affected, but we students studying abroad are even more affected. We used to be able to live on a hundred rupees for a month, but now we need more than a thousand, close to two thousand."
To save money, I ate potatoes for months on end, just boiled them with a little salt, that's how everyone else ate them. When I couldn't eat those potatoes anymore, I decided to find a rich boyfriend.
After class, I would go for a stroll and look at those upscale places. One day, a boy with a big eagle asked me for directions. My English wasn't very good back then, so I had to use gestures and words to explain it to him.
"That's how we met. He treated me to steak and we went to high-end hotels. Eventually, I slept with him. He said he wanted to take me to Daying and make me stay there."
"And then? I've looked at your passport; there's no entry or exit information from other countries," Zheng Haishan asked.
"Because I never had any major problems. When I was getting ready to leave, he got into trouble. It was probably in the afternoon that day. He rushed home and told me to pack my luggage. I was quite surprised and packed slowly. He was unhappy and said there was no time and told me to pack quickly."
He helped me pack a few clothes, then took me to the apartment across the hall and locked me there to wait for his message.
I heard a lot of footsteps, all in Mao language, which I could understand. They were saying not to let him get away. I also heard gunshots, very frequent ones. I was terrified.
He ran into the road, and I could see him from my window. He hadn't gone far when he was shot dead. Multiple AKs sprayed at him, and he lay on the ground, his body convulsing. I cried; I couldn't bear to watch. I stayed in that room for two days.
Until someone broke down the door, the man said he was Charles's friend and would take me away to a safe place.
I later found out that Charles was a member of the Eagle People, and they belonged to the CIA's overseas division.
After hearing the story, Zheng Haishan asked, "But it shouldn't have gotten you so deeply involved that you even abandoned your own ancestors."
“Money, I need money! They can give me a lot of money. You don’t know, the impact of having $100,000 in front of me. As long as I agree to work for them, they will give me money every month, or different bonuses depending on the size of the task.”
Zheng Haishan asked again, "How much money did you take from them in total? How many US dollars?"
"Including that 100,000, and the follow-up, maybe another 30,000 to 50,000!"
"Where did those electronic devices come from?"
"I don't know, Bluebird is in charge."
Zheng Haishan handed Zhang Haiyan a cigarette and continued, "What kind of person is Qingniao?"
