“What are you trying to say then?”
Snow looked at Assange’s curious face and smiled confidently as he said, “Of course, I will continue to lurk in the intelligence agency and get more information about this plan. After that, we will wait for the opportunity…”
“You don’t really think that just based on the few videos we have now, we can accuse the intelligence agency of anything, right?”
“Hell, I still don’t know the name of this surveillance plan… Without details of the complete plan, the intelligence agency can blame this on the individual members. In that case, we will not be able to achieve our goals at all. Either we don’t do it or we uproot this damn plan.”
Jagoan listened to Snow’s impassioned speech and silently praised it. He was worthy of being called the ruthless man who would almost single-handedly confront the entire United States intelligence agency in the future.
He could see the big picture indeed.
Assange fell silent after hearing Snow’s speech. He seemed to have something to say.
Assange thought for a while but was still a little unwilling to be suppressed by Snow, so he continued to ask, not content with having a more subservient role, “Then what does this have to do with us not releasing these videos? It’s good to cause them a little pain.”
Snow looked at him like he was looking at an idiot and said coldly, “Are you sure that we won’t be alerting others by publishing these videos now?”
“Not only will your actions not cause a direct loss to the agency, it will even allow them to strengthen the security of the entire plan. This plan is so tight now that I can’t find much information. If you do this and they strengthen the entire protection and confidentiality measures, it will take months or even years for me to find out the information about this plan!”
Snow was so domineering now that he made Assange, who was originally arrogant and proud, look like an elementary school student being scolded.
“Then, what should we do with the secret keys and videos we have?”
Snow laughed and said, “We’ll release them, of course.”
