This time Gao Yang was greedy, but his greed brought him a rich reward, not referring to those guns, but the U disk he acquired. The contents of the U disk were just a fleeting glimpse; it’s still unknown what explosive information is inside. However, from just a few words, Gao Yang knew that what Poloneshenko talked about was related to Grand Ivan, and now, everything in Kiev is controlled by him and related to him. The operation was prematurely exposed, which is a bit troublesome, so just stealing that U disk isn’t enough; it also has to be taken away. However, looking at the current situation, there shouldn’t be any major problems, because Poloneshenko is already the new president, but he hasn’t officially taken office yet, which makes a difference. If Gao Yang and his team had stolen the U disk from the Presidential Palace, the police would immediately surround the streets and might even deploy the army; a city-wide lockdown and manhunt would be very likely because what was lost might be Ukraine’s highest national secret. But now, as Poloneshenko has just won the election and isn’t president yet, what he loses is his personal matter and doesn’t involve the state. Although Poloneshenko’s current status is already special, he still can’t directly command any violent organization to help him recover the lost item. Even if many want to pledge loyalty in advance to someone destined to be president, willing to help him retrieve the stolen items, they’re ultimately slower in timing. Gao Yang isn’t afraid of someone particularly skilled coming after him based on clues; he’s hoping someone will quickly start investigating. With both American and Russian scapegoats in hand, the higher-up Poloneshenko finds, the better. What Gao is most afraid of now is being roadblocked by the police, strictly inspecting every car; in that case, none of the cars full of stolen goods driven by the White Shark Gang would get away. They smoothly left the street where Poloneshenko’s mansion was located, and Gao Yang relaxed slightly, but at that moment, he said to the driving Taylor, "Pull over in front, I need to switch to Shava’s car and find a chance to release the people." Taylor said in a deep voice, "What do you plan to do?" Gao Yang replied in a low voice, "Proceed according to the original plan, just find a deserted place and drop them off; the evidence is left. Now, the priority is to keep that gun and this U disk; if there’s no way to keep the other things, just abandon them. My concern is the police roadblock, so we need to separate but not too far apart. If stopped, Shava and I can drop them off to draw attention, and you seize the opportunity to slip away." Taylor immediately said, "Alright, let’s do that." At this time, Number Thirteen frowned and said, "Wait a minute, there’s a flaw in this plan." Gao Yang immediately asked, "What flaw?" "Those Russians, leaving them by the roadside seems normal because the KGB is known for being tough and vindictive. If no direct conflict occurred, avoiding retaliation by releasing them makes sense. But those Americans, you’re trying to create the illusion that they fell into KGB hands. Letting them go easily wouldn’t be reasonable; who would believe that?" Gao Yang clapped his hands and said loudly, "Exactly, we overlooked this. The KGB is always rough, Americans like to bribe with money, but Russians directly threaten people’s families. If captured by them, getting released easily is unlikely." Number Thirteen nodded and said loudly, "Exactly, so some interrogation of those Americans is necessary before letting them go." Gao Yang nodded and said in a deep voice, "Alright, let’s interrogate them first. However, KGB interrogations are skillful, and your mobility is limited now." Number Thirteen knew how the Black Demon extracted confessions, and the KGB methods were mostly derived and passed down by them; mimicking them is easy. The only issue is Number Thirteen’s leg injury, hindering his movements. Number Thirteen said calmly, "For me, this injury isn’t enough to prevent me from conducting interrogations." Gao Yang immediately said, "Alright, take them to a deserted place, interrogate those Americans. I also indeed want to question them. As for the Russians, just dump them somewhere." After a quick few words decided their next move, Gao Yang got out of the car, switched to Shava’s car, then had Taylor drive ahead, while he and Shava followed with several still unconscious people in the back. A covert operation that ends in a big fight is a total failure. They hadn’t gone far before Number Thirteen said on the intercom, "The insider called; Poloneshenko continued his speech but we can’t know what measures he’s decided." Gao Yang said with a hint of tension, "Will there be a roadblock?" "I don’t know what Poloneshenko will decide; the insider isn’t authorized to know, and verifying what order he gave is hard." Gao Yang said in a deep voice, "Okay, understood. Just have the insider keep an eye out. As long as there’s no roadblock, let him do whatever." Just then, Little Donnie called and said directly, "Many have returned; they rushed in, retook control of surveillance, and we can no longer monitor it. Also, the footage we wanted Poloneshenko to see has been stored in time; everything is perfect." Gao Yang laughed and said, "Excellent, it’s all going very smoothly on your end." For original chapters go to novel★fire.net After that, Gao Yang smiled at Shava and said, "So far, so good; everything’s going smoothly." Shava also smiled and said, "Exactly, we’re about to cross the bridge; once across, there won’t be any problems left." At that moment, Number Thirteen said over the intercom again, "The insider called; Poloneshenko interrupted his speech again after someone whispered something to him. He looked quite bad, though he’s trying hard to cover it and continue speaking. I think he must have realized that he not only lost something significant but also something he cherishes." Gao Yang glanced at the Cross-river Bridge over the Dnieper River they were about to take, smiled, and said, "Who cares? We’re about to cross the bridge; it’s too late for him to roadblock us now. So, we can conclude: this was a perfect operation, very perfect." (To be continued.
