Chapter 119 * Closing the Net! Who's the Fish?
Nicholas was called in in front of Ricard and Kognan.
Koganam had just arrived when he witnessed this scene, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
After waiting outside for 15 minutes, Nicholas, with a calm expression, opened the door: "The master needs to call an emergency meeting."
The people present exchanged glances, each lost in their own thoughts.
In the living room, Bai Yexiu crossed his legs, his cold gaze sweeping over the people who entered, making them feel uneasy.
"I've found out who the rat is."
Bai Yexiu's casual remark shocked everyone present, causing them to widen their eyes in astonishment.
"Who is it?!" Ricard exclaimed excitedly.
"Don't worry, the rats will appear in the unfinished building at 44 Vic Street in half an hour. I've already prepared the weapons for you." Bai Yexiu slowly pulled out several small boxes from under the table and placed them in front of the four people. "Ricard and Nicholas will be in one group, Kognan will be in my group, and Zuo Mu and Vermouth will take the other route. I will send the detailed mission information to your email in a bit."
Upon hearing the address "44 Vic Street," all three except for Saki were taken aback.
This address is now an unfinished building, but it used to be the apartment where Bai Yexiu lived in this country, and it was also the place where Jack Ross was buried.
Back then, Mi6 planted bombs all over the apartment building. After Jack Ross died, the building was destroyed and had to be rebuilt, but it was later abandoned due to insufficient funds from the developer.
"You didn't expect this, did you? This little mouse is quite nostalgic." Bai Yexiu teased with a smile, not noticing the surprised expressions on the three people's faces.
"Pack your gear, let's set off in half an hour."
……
—Half an hour later—
Koganen drove, while Bai Yexiu and Ricard sat in the back seat, all three remaining silent. Outside, the atmosphere was lively and noisy, but inside the car was deathly quiet. Everyone's expressions were somewhat grave, except for a hint of excitement in Ricard's eyes.
Because the different group plans are different, only three people are actually going to come here to carry out the mission.
They soon arrived at their destination.
The unfinished building was located in a sparsely populated villa area, and the strong winds at night made the building look even more dilapidated.
Ricard stayed on the first floor to keep watch, while Bai Yexiu and Kognan continued upstairs.
The entire building was eerily quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps and the whistling wind passing through the hallway.
“Koganam,” Bai Yeshu suddenly spoke in a low voice, “Do you know why I chose you to act alone with me?”
Kognan subconsciously looked at Bai Yexiu, opened his mouth, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from the first floor.
They were in the stairwell between the first and second floors. Because it was open and quiet, they could hear all the sounds clearly, including the sound of someone falling to the ground.
Bai Yexiu glanced out the window and noticed that several cars had already parked downstairs, and more than ten people were surrounding the building. Not only that, he also heard Flander's voice.
"stop!"
—It turned out that Flander had led more than ten people up the stairs and appeared just a few meters behind them!
boom!
Without warning, Flander fired his gun.
Because this was a sparsely populated villa area, and it was late at night, plus it was an unfinished building, unlike a main road where you couldn't just shoot anywhere. He figured that Bai Yeshou was relatively agile, but not very good at hand-to-hand combat, so he decided to shoot him first to prevent him from escaping later.
Bai Yexiu staggered without a sound, and a bloody stain appeared on the back of his black trench coat.
The dozen or so people immediately pressed their advantage, and Bai Yexiu ignored Kaogenan and ran upstairs without looking back.
Despite his disheveled appearance, the dim lighting around him concealed the smile that Bai Yexiu was wearing.
Bai Yexiu clutched his blood-soaked shoulder and ran all the way up to the fourth floor. However, his running speed gradually slowed down until he finally leaned against a pillar on the fourth floor, panting heavily.
The unfinished building had no windows, and moonlight streamed through the empty windows onto Bai Yexiu's body. His already pale skin appeared even more frail.
Mi6 followed closely behind, raising their guns as they faced the desperate Bai Yexiu.
Meanwhile, Cognan stood in the shadows to the side, leaning against a pillar, unmoved.
The answer is obvious.
Bai Yexiu looked at the rows of dark gun barrels in front of him, let out two low chuckles, and then burst into unrestrained and wild laughter.
The agents exchanged glances, somewhat bewildered, but Flander remained composed and pulled a pair of handcuffs from his pocket—
However, the next second, a burst of blood suddenly gushed out from his chest!
Flander was shot in the lung.
What followed was a barrage of bullets from a mysterious sniper on the opposite rooftop!
"There are six snipers in the building across the street!" an agent exclaimed.
In an instant, the agents scattered to avoid the bullets. Flander, who was standing in the open space, was shot in the lung, then in the abdomen and knee, and finally collapsed to the ground in agony, gasping for breath.
Several agents were unable to dodge in time and were hit, falling to the ground. After all, this floor had no windows, which made it easier for snipers to take cover.
Kognam covered several agents as they hid behind a pillar. His mind was racing, caught off guard by the dramatic turn of events.
This is a complete trap!
Bai Yexiu had stopped laughing at some point and was sitting on a chair next to a pillar, swinging his legs leisurely and looking at Koganam from afar with a playful smile. Where was the weak feeling of being shot earlier?
At that moment, the hurried footsteps of more than ten people came from the bottom of the stairs, going up.
It turned out that Ricard and Saki, along with more than a dozen thugs from the organization's periphery, had surrounded the few remaining agents.
Kognam gritted his teeth, trying to reach for his gun in a final struggle, but found he couldn't move his body at all, or even open his mouth to speak. Soon, his eyes stiffly turned to one of the agents beside him.
The "agent" smiled, showed a small empty syringe to Kognam, and then peeled off his mask—his long, wavy, golden hair cascaded down, revealing a beautiful and alluring face...
When exactly...?
Koganam stared in shock, his eyes then turning to Bai Yexiu.
It was all a perfectly planned scheme.
Ultimately, it was because they were too impatient. They missed one opportunity and were eager to seek a second one. If they had thought things through properly back then, would things have turned out differently?
Bai Yexiu noticed the regret flashing in Kognan's eyes and smiled, "We should save the delicious snacks for last~"
Ricard immediately understood Bai Yeshu's intention and waved his hand to give the order. More than 10 thugs from the organization swarmed forward, and even Zuoqi stepped forward on his own initiative to engage in a fierce battle with the few remaining agents.
With thugs in front and snipers behind, the few remaining agents were disarmed and knocked unconscious. Flander, who was unable to move, was stomped on several times, and even more blood flowed from his body.
While the surroundings were still chaotic, Flander struggled to sit up and reached out with difficulty to pick up a gun that someone had dropped on the ground—
Click.
The gun in front of him was kicked away.
The next second, a heavy force crushed his back, and the body he had managed to prop up collapsed again, leaving him unable to move.
Bai Yeshou placed his left leg on Flander's back, looked at Kognan, and laughed: "I originally thought you and Ricard just had personality clashes, but well... if you ask me, bribing that old bastard Tanaka to get into the organization was the biggest blunder of your undercover plan. You don't know, do you? I've already taken down that leaky pot of Tanaka Shiyo, and your name is on his bribery list!"
You agree, right? Coster Angrath, also joined MI6 because of Jason Perkins, a secret agent trained by MI6?
Koganam's face was contorted in pain. He tried one last time to defend himself, hoping to buy himself a chance, but having been secretly injected with the drug, he couldn't even speak and could only stand there motionless, watching others do whatever they wanted to him.
Upon hearing the name "Jason Perkins," Ricard's eyes darkened slightly.
Jack Ross, whose real name was Jason Moner Perkins. Ricard had previously speculated that Cointreau and Jack Ross were likely related. Until that day, when Cointreau killed Jack Ross with his own hands.
When Jacques collapsed in front of Ricard, Ricard witnessed Cointreau, who never shed tears in front of them, cry like a child who had lost something he cherished. After that, Cointreau disappeared for several days.
Then, Cointreau returned and resumed his usual self, the only change being that he was much colder than before.
Ricard was heartbroken. His jealous nature led him to inexplicably harbor resentment towards the deceased Jack Ross.
A scream interrupted Ricard's thoughts.
When he came to his senses, Kognam was pinned to a pillar by a scalpel plunged straight into his shoulder.
Perhaps it was really painful, because even Koganam, who was unable to speak, let out a scream of agony.
"The rest is up to you." Bai Yexiu kicked Flander unconscious and pulled out several packets of fake blood from his clothes, throwing them on the ground.
Bai Yexiu turned and left, making a phone call as he went: "Hey? Nicholas, which arms dealer did you get your bulletproof vests from? The quality is pretty good. I'll have Gin buy some from him too..."
