Chapter 1657: Chapter 1636: I Promise You Most of Murphy’s notes were his own concoction, even though they were written in the form of a conversation record with Gao Yang, but Gao Yang had to admit it was a pity Murphy didn’t write novels. Gao Yang nodded in satisfaction, then smiled and said, “Not bad.” Murphy handed the pen to Gao Yang and whispered, “Sign it, don’t make a mistake.” After Gao Yang finished writing his name, he suppressed the pain in his throat and whispered, “Is it over?” Murphy nodded and whispered, “Official business is over, now there’s some private business.” Gao Yang was a bit surprised, but not too surprised, because Murphy’s visit today was very strange, which is why he asked Murphy why he came over. Although Murphy gave a seemingly reasonable answer, Gao Yang didn’t quite believe it. Gao Yang thought that his identity wasn’t significant enough for Murphy to personally handle matters for him that would make him famous. Additionally, he didn’t think Murphy would help him just because of his acquaintance with Number Thirteen. The reason was simple: Murphy was part of the FBI, but also a cleaner. Compared to Gao Yang, Murphy needed to hide his identity just as much as Gao Yang. If Murphy really wanted to help, he could’ve done so discreetly, but he appeared openly in front of Gao Yang. It didn’t seem reasonable to Gao Yang. A bit puzzled, Gao Yang didn’t doubt Murphy’s motives, but now, Murphy was finally about to reveal his true intentions. With a serious expression, Murphy looked at Gao Yang and suddenly said, “Where is Grand Ivan?” Gao Yang widened his eyes in astonishment. Murphy twisted his neck and then said very seriously to Gao Yang, “Where is Grand Ivan?” Gao Yang felt that Murphy was serious, so he also became very serious and whispered, “I don’t know.” Murphy waved the record he had shown Gao Yang earlier, then placed it on the table. He sighed, placed his hand on the record, and whispered, “You’re very satisfied with this record, but I can write it differently, and you know what I mean.” Gao Yang felt a chill in his heart and nodded slightly. Murphy sighed, then looked up at Gao Yang with a smile and said softly, “We had a pleasant conversation just now, and I hope we can continue in that same pleasant atmosphere. So, please tell me, where is Grand Ivan now?” Murphy waved his hand and whispered, “It’s just you and me here in the New York Police Department’s office. You just need to tell me, and then everything will be the same as before. I’m a cleaner, and you’re Ram. We both have secrets we can’t reveal, so you don’t have to worry that I’ll betray you…” Gao Yang suddenly said, “Why do you need this? Isn’t Grand Ivan one of your high-level clients?” Murphy replied very seriously, “I’m a cleaner, but I’m also American, and I’m part of the FBI. Sometimes, I consider my FBI role more important than being a cleaner. Things are different now. Grand Ivan was just a client for the cleaners, just an arms dealer, and now he’s a significant threat to America.” Gao Yang said coldly, “You’re a cleaner, but not every cleaner knows about Grand Ivan’s existence. So, why do you know about Grand Ivan, and why do you want to find out from me where Grand Ivan is?” Murphy smiled and said, “I know how you got your second-level client qualification, so of course, I know about Grand Ivan. The reason I’m asking you about Grand Ivan’s whereabouts is that I think only you know.” Gao Yang smiled and said, “Regretfully, I don’t know.” Murphy picked up the record and sighed, “I’m also regretful. I suggest you change your way of thinking.” Gao Yang said coldly, “You’re threatening me.” Murphy replied very seriously, “Yes.” Gao Yang looked at Murphy, feeling puzzled because he felt Murphy didn’t really need to do this. Murphy shrugged and whispered, “I know what you’re thinking. Let me tell you, Grand Ivan has been missing for too long. There are two opinions within the cleaner organization now. One is to continue supporting Grand Ivan’s interests, and the other is that Grand Ivan has lost his client status.” Murphy gave Gao Yang a smile, then said very seriously, “Regretfully, the second opinion is gaining ground. The reasons are complex, but the fact that Americans hold a significant position in the cleaner organization is a key factor. After Grand Ivan became America’s adversary, we thought perhaps it was time to consider having you take his place, as long as you could help bring Grand Ivan out…” Not letting Murphy finish, Gao Yang coldly said, “What does this have to do with me?” Ignoring Gao Yang’s question, Murphy pointed to his own nose and said in a deep voice, “I want to raise my position within the FBI. Finding Grand Ivan is the CIA’s job, but the FBI is happy to step in. Then, I know everything about your background. I know you just returned from Ukraine. The events that happened there recently are definitely related to you. Where are your Satan members? Did someone die or get hurt recently? Even Number Thirteen got injured. You only have one person who can move by your side, but you managed to gather a lot of people in Kiev to help you. You don’t have that kind of influence, but Grand Ivan does! Ram, we’re both clear-sighted people. Grand Ivan might not be in Ukraine now, but I believe you know where he is, don’t you?” Antonio, that lock-picking expert, leaked too much information. Gao Yang originally thought the cleaner’s mouths would be tight-lipped, but it turned out the problem was within the cleaners themselves. With a silent sigh in his heart, Gao Yang shook his head and said, “You’ve spoken too many riddles tonight. I really don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re just overthinking it.” Gao Yang didn’t use Murphy’s cleaner identity to threaten him, because he thought if Murphy dared to come here, he must be confident, at least not afraid of leaking the cleaner’s secrets. Murphy stared at Gao Yang for a long time, then coldly said, “Alright, you don’t know where he is. If Grand Ivan isn’t careful enough, then he’s probably already dead, so that’s very possible. Then, let’s change the question, cooperate with us to lure Grand Ivan out.” Gao Yang looked at Murphy as if he were an idiot. Murphy awkwardly scratched his head and said with a bitter smile, “Sorry, got a bit excited and said what I shouldn’t have. So, to put it simply, Grand Ivan must have some way to contact you. Even if it’s a former way of contacting you, that also works. Tell me.” Murphy didn’t have anything substantial, which made Gao Yang a bit relieved. But since Murphy was building everything on speculation and imagination, it was useless to say anything, so Gao Yang just shook his head, not even bothering to speak. Murphy sighed and whispered, “My bottom line is, you know Grand Ivan’s network in Ukraine. Tell me who they are, that’s all you need to tell me.” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱 Gao Yang didn’t speak or move, and Murphy coldly said, “Think about your girlfriend who’s still out there, think about those in America who are tied to you, think about your interests in America. I assure you, this isn’t just a threat; it will become reality. This is your last chance. Tell me what you know.” Gao Yang exhaled and then coldly said, “I only know one thing: if you really plan to do something foolish, Murphy, I assure you, it will end very badly for you.”
