Chapter 1629: Chapter 1608: The Big Secret Antonio moved quickly, taking out something resembling a tube of toothpaste from his bag, and started squeezing it into the keyhole of the safe. The semi-liquid substance, which was indeed quite similar to toothpaste, began to harden upon exposure to air. After a few minutes, Antonio carefully extracted what had solidified into a key-like shape. After pulling out the rough-shaped key, Antonio quickly began refining it. Then, he took out a small battery-operated blow dryer and started blowing on the key. Gao Yang cautiously asked, “Is that enough?” Antonio nodded and said in a deep voice, “Just a few minutes to harden is enough. If this lock wasn’t so complex, we wouldn’t even need this stuff; two steel wires could do the trick. But the lock was never the real issue, the code is what matters most.” After a few minutes, Antonio tested the hardness of the key with his hand. He then inserted the key into the lock, and after gently turning it a few times, he exhaled, gripped the handle, and with a slight click, opened the safe. As he opened the safe, Antonio wore a look of dissatisfaction and said, “This is so boring, so uninteresting, there’s no sense of accomplishment at all. It’s like someone just feeding you without you having to do anything, it’s very…” Before Antonio could finish his musings, Gao Yang had already rushed over and opened the slightly ajar safe door. The safe contained only a USB drive, nothing else. Gao Yang picked up the USB drive, examined it for a moment, and said with a laugh, “This is what it’s all about. What do you guys think is inside?” Antonio waved his hand and said, “I’m not interested in that. Alright, we can leave now. It’s really boring.” Taylor scratched his head and said, “How about we take a look?” “Let’s take a look! Boot up the computer.” Of course, there was a computer in the study. As Gao Yang was booting it up, he said with a bit of concern, “There won’t be a password, right? I think there should be. If there is a password, we can’t see what’s inside. Should we take this thing with us or leave it behind?” Taylor said urgently, “I think it’s not good to take it with us; it’s best to see it directly. Otherwise, we might be inviting trouble just to satisfy our curiosity. Maybe we can crack it remotely. Ah, it didn’t even ask for a password!” It was indeed surprising that the USB drive didn’t require a password to access. However, it made sense. Poloneshenko was so lax with setting a password on his safe, so there was naturally no need for a password on the USB drive inside. After all, cracking a USB drive password is much easier than opening a safe. Gao Yang looked at the computer and said, “It’s an audio file. Hmm, it’s quite large, probably a video. Let’s play it.” Soon, an image appeared on the computer screen, and Poloneshenko’s side profile could be seen, along with the person sitting opposite him. The two people in the video were chatting casually, not yet getting to the main topic. However, Poloneshenko soon addressed the other person by their full name. “Mr. Biden, regarding what we talked about last time, I’ve thought it over. I can cooperate with you, but can you guarantee that what you said will become reality? I’m a businessman; I really have no intention of getting involved in the fights between arms dealers, especially when the other party is a major arms dealer with absolute influence in Ukraine. He’s formidable, I know. He’s very formidable.” Accompanying Poloneshenko’s words, Gao Yang immediately caught the key part and, staring wide-eyed, exclaimed, “F**k! It’s actually useful!” At this moment, Taylor was also staring wide-eyed and said, “Oh my God, I know him, I know him!” Gao Yang turned his head and asked, “Who?” Taylor pointed at the person on the screen and said, “Him! He is Hunter Biden!” Gao Yang frowned and asked, “Who is this person?” Taylor smirked and said, “F**k! Haven’t you watched the news? He’s a lawyer. He just became the chief legal officer of the largest natural gas company in Ukraine. Most importantly, think of his last name, and you still don’t get it? Haven’t you been following the news these days?” A light bulb went off in Gao Yang’s mind. He stood up from his chair, his voice trembling, “Belden, America, America’s Vice President, he is the son of America’s Vice President?” Taylor nodded and said with a wry smile, “That’s right; it’s him.” Gao Yang had lost interest in listening to what those on the computer were saying. Antonio, standing behind them, was now yelling in frustration, “Oh shit! Why did I have to see such a big secret? F**k! Curiosity killed the cat!” At this moment, Gao Yang heard Number Thirteen on the walkie-talkie urgently saying, “Retreat! Retreat quickly! Something has happened!” Gao Yang shuddered and shouted, “What’s wrong?” ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ NoveI-Fire.ɴet “The insider opened the phone. Poloneshenko, who was giving a speech, glanced at his phone, and his face changed drastically before he left the podium. Then, his bodyguards immediately began to stir. Something is definitely wrong!” The real alarm system won’t blare a red light and emit a piercing beep like in the movies, which would alert the thieves. The real alarm is silent; the thieves won’t know, only the owner needs to know. Gao Yang immediately turned to Antonio and said, “What’s going on? The client seems to have noticed!” Antonio’s face changed dramatically. While running back to the side of the safe, he shouted, “There’s an alarm system! It must be the alarm system! We just have no idea what’s going on. Oh, shit! I need to look carefully to figure out what it is!” Gao Yang grabbed the USB drive, pocketed it, and shouted, “What’s there to look for? Run!” After shouting, Gao Yang yelled into the walkie-talkie, “Karima, you heard that, tell everyone to run quickly!” There was no time to clean up the traces, and there was no need to. The three of them turned and ran downstairs. When they got down, they met Shava and Karima coming out. Shava shouted, “What’s the matter?” “We’ve been exposed!” Shava surprisingly said with a sense of relief, “Great! Luckily, we already moved the wine!” Gao Yang waved his hand and shouted, “Why are you standing there? Grab these people and run!” A group of people suddenly came to their senses. Two carried one of the several unconscious people lying on the ground and ran. Gao Yang pushed Taylor and shouted, “Take her and go!” Staying behind as a rear guard, Gao Yang left the house only after everyone else had evacuated. But upon exiting, he remembered something, sprinted back to the living room, grabbed the two hunting rifles hanging above the fireplace, and then dashed outside. No instructions were needed. Shava’s people were already driving the cars in different directions, and Taylor had driven over to pick up Gao Yang. Gao Yang ran a bit and jumped into the car, then shouted, “Go! No! Slow down a bit, don’t make it look suspicious. They won’t arrive so soon. Let’s drive normally, and we’ll worry about it if someone stops us!” (To be continued.
