Chapter 816: Cassandra's Choice (please collect, recommend and vote)
Now that Xu Chuan has given the final decision, the meeting is over, and everyone starts to keep a close eye on Cassandra according to the division of labor. As for Alex’s side of things, at least
Smith found Xu Chuan and asked about MI6, "Are those people from Price?" He was asking about the armed men who appeared at the dinner. Since this was an MI6 operation, the SAS was probably participate.
Xu Chuan shook his head, "It's hard to say, I have no contact with these people, but you can ask Curtis's friend."
Damien Scott has not left Riyuesk yet. He has been wandering around idle for the past two days. He should have just returned from the nightclub at this time. Xu Chuan promised that there must be a girl in his room.
No wonder this boy is friends with Curtis. The two of them have the same hobbies.
Xu Chuan understands Smith's concerns. If there are Price's people over there, there are some things that need to be paid attention to. After all, Umbrella has a good relationship with the old immortal.
Smith nodded and agreed, "I will ask him. I hope it's not him, otherwise our plan will need to be readjusted. This old guy is not easy to deal with."
"Probably not. With that old and immortal character, he would never let Curtis follow behind for so long." Although Price is older, his personality is absolutely fiery and he will never allow it during a fight. this circumstance occurs.
No matter how much Scott promised, he would arrest the people first. How could Scott be allowed to stay? What if he betrayed people like him?
Scott can stay in place to block Curtis, which only shows that the commander of this team cannot completely suppress this guy, and how could Price allow this to happen.
Things are proceeding in an orderly manner, just as Xu Chuan thought before, the martial law in Riyuesk began to be gradually lifted on the fifth day after Ovechkin's death. In fact, in his opinion, it was simply a loneliness.
Umbrella had been struggling for so many days, but no one noticed them. In vain, my superiors and I didn't focus on finding the murderer. They were kneeling and licking Xixi and Da Mao while attacking each other. Who can become the leader? The final winner is still unknown.
Anyway, the recent news on TV is very interesting. A high-level scandal breaks out every day. In vain, the general public realizes that there is not a single good person at the top.
This situation is getting worse and worse, and has reached the point where whenever someone is mentioned in the United States, a scandal about the other party will be revealed that afternoon, and vice versa.
Cassandra, the former first lady, has not escaped this wave of exchanges. Some people have pointed out that her collection of masterpieces of art through privileges is suspected of money laundering.
This makes her very passive, after all, her business is not over yet.
Her superior, Nigel, was also very angry. He knew that someone was targeting Cassandra, but he didn't know who it was.
Now this chaotic environment has reached the point where it is impossible to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. Even if China and the United States are allies, they will not give in on certain issues.
“Boss, we found an art dealer. This guy has been in frequent contact with that woman Cassandra recently.” Curtis was reporting the progress of the past few days to Xu Chuan.
But it wasn’t him who was following him. His skin color and Albert’s were actually quite conspicuous here.
Xu Chuan did not move to a safe house, but continued to stay in the hotel. "Everyone is keeping an eye on her. I don't believe the first lady still has the heart to buy paintings at this time."
He was the one who let out the news about Cassandra's money laundering. Although Xu Chuan didn't have any concrete evidence, he was the only one with all kinds of rumors flying around.
Besides, he is not talking nonsense, this woman is just laundering money.
“Boss, this woman is not only interested in buying paintings, she is also planning to organize an art exhibition in the near future.” Curtis continued with a smile, and then handed over the invitation letter to Xu Chuan, “She also invited you.”
“Damn it, Ovechkin should express his condolences. Not only did this unlucky guy raise children for others, he also had to help others earn money for milk powder when he died.” Xu Chuan couldn’t help complaining.
Opening the invitation letter, the time and place were written on it. This woman not only invited him, but also celebrities from all walks of life. The scale was really quite large.
“Then boss, are you going?” Curtis asked.
"Go, why don't you go and see the world? I haven't participated in it yet." It is estimated that the auction will follow immediately. Xu Chuan has no intention of spending money. He just wants to know how these people plan to operate.
The invitation was full of emotion, making people feel that if they didn’t go or buy two paintings, they would be sorry for the dead Ovechkin.
"Where are the others, what's the progress?" This time not only all of Umbrella's people arrived, but also a dozen people from Lethal Force, and they were very wealthy.
“The woman you captured in the video has not come out since she entered the Daxian Consulate. We suspect she has left.”
The subject of this investigation is the woman who met Cassandra that night. She should be from MI6. Xu Chuan plans to dig out the woman and stare her to death to avoid ruining his affairs.
Ovechkin probably died in the hands of this woman. He was a ruthless person to attack her at home.
"Don't relax over there. Scott's friends don't know where they are hiding. I don't want to be bitten by someone for no reason." Xu Chuan warned. The situation in Riyuesk is very delicate now. Looking at Heping, In fact, it only takes one spark to turn into a war.
Ali Taselov's people are also hiding in the dark and intend to find Scott's group. Some local snakes in Riyuesk have also begun to move around, and some new faces have been harassed by them.
To sum it up in one sentence, northwest Shanxi... No, Riyuesk has become a mess.
What Umbrella has to do now is to keep an eye on everyone and then set up a command system. Of course, it would be better if he could find the armed personnel hiding in the dark.
After saying these things, Xu Chuan stood up and prepared to go out, "Let's go, I have an appointment with the first lady to meet today, and the time is almost up."
He has already made an appointment with Cassandra's assistant to meet. Not to mention that this woman is really busy right now. The inheritance Ovechkin left her is making her very busy right now. It can be said that if she is willing to From the beginning, there are basically no obstacles.
The Presidential Residence still looks the same. It is impossible to tell that someone fired thousands of bullets here that day, but the guards are indeed tighter and the inspections are stricter than before.
Xu Chuan was a guest with an appointment. The security staff not only checked his and Curtis' identities, but also carefully checked the car he was riding in. After there were no problems, they opened the door and let him go.
The villa has been cleaned up, and the first floor has resumed its role of receiving guests. Cassandra in a light-colored suit is already waiting here.
"Mr. Grylls, we meet again." Cassandra's expression was a little strange, probably because she didn't expect Xu Chuan to dare to come to see her. Of course Xu Chuan knew that this woman should have seen the oil painting he created for the second time, but it didn't matter. She didn't catch her, so why should she say it was him.
"Yes, madam, we meet again." Xu Chuan greeted politely, "You look good. Isn't it a pleasant thing to resume your single life?"
Kassandra's face changed instantly, "Mr. Grylls, please pay attention to your words and attitude."
Xu Chuan smiled, this woman is really interesting, but she doesn’t know the relationship between herself and Michael yet, otherwise she would never have this attitude.
Anyway, if it weren't for Michael, Xu Chuan would have taken out the video and said to her, madam, you don't want to... or anything.
"I'm here mainly to ask you again on behalf of Michael, do you want to break away from your current environment and live a normal life." This is the main purpose of Xu Chuan's visit. Michael talked to him before evacuating, this guy I still hope that my child can survive this crisis safely.
Cassandra has not yet realized that her life has probably entered a countdown. If she is just a lurking spy, then of course there will be no problem. Her identity is really very useful, and MI6 will not Give up hers.
However, this woman was also involved in money laundering. It is unclear whether she actively participated or because she was threatened, but judging from the current situation, she should be almost silenced.
Perhaps it is greed or too much trust in her superiors, Cassandra may not be aware of this yet.
However, judging from the information Xu Chuan has in hand, when it was previously revealed that she was suspected of money laundering, someone was trying to suppress the news, but now they have a laissez-faire attitude.
What does this mean? It means that the other party no longer cares about Cassandra's outcome. The vote they are making now is likely to be this woman's last job.
“Do you know Michael?” Cassandra was shocked when she heard Xu Chuan’s words. After all, Xu Chuan was Chinese and Michael was an American agent.
Xu Chuan nodded, "He's just a friend. It's not convenient for him to come to you when he's injured, so he asked me to ask you if you want to stop caring about these things and take your Max away."
This is her best choice. She will remain anonymous from now on. The money she has earned in the past few years is enough for her mother and son to live. Umbrella can give them a new identity. As long as they do not return to Canada or Europe, their two Safety can still be guaranteed.
Cassandra looked at Xu Chuan seriously, as if trying to discern his intentions.
"Mr. Grylls, I don't quite understand what you mean." Cassandra certainly couldn't believe the other person's words.
With a consistent smile on his face, Xu Chuan handed over the phone, "I understand how you feel. You can take a look at this first."
The above video was recorded by Michael before leaving. He said that he already knew about their son and advised her to leave Riyusk, a place of right and wrong, as soon as possible.
Xu Chuan certainly didn’t intend to use such a video to change her mind, but he was just helping Michael convey a message.
Cassandra looked at the video with complicated eyes, and she was still very moved. She knew from the beginning that Michael was an agent. In her opinion, this situation was normal. She had the idea that it would be good to have one more informant. Let the other party get closer.
As for having a relationship with Michael, it is not unacceptable to Cassandra. On the contrary, she still has a good impression of this man.
But I didn’t expect the United States to play such a big role later and wanted to replace Ovechkin.
MI6 internally agreed to this plan after careful consideration, and another advantage was that the other party never knew that Cassandra was from Da Ling, which was of great benefit in obtaining intelligence.
Even if the relationship with the United States is an ally, when it comes to their respective interests, they will still keep one hand.
Later, Cassandra found out that she was pregnant. She thought about it for a long time and gave birth to the child. However, she never thought of telling Michael the truth. Even after the plan was implemented, she did not try to contact him again.
It’s not that she is heartless, but that their work is not suitable for them to be together, let alone having a child. This is simply asking for death. Fortunately, there is Ovechkin who can act as a shield.
So before Michael came to her, she never thought she would see him again, and she was even more surprised and at a loss after knowing his intentions.
It was incredible that this man could still remember her. She was really moved, and for a moment she really wanted to tell him that she had a child with him.
But her reason still prevented her from doing so. Now it seemed that this was right. She must be under surveillance, otherwise Michael would not have been attacked and injured after meeting her.
Thinking of this, Cassandra looked around cautiously. She didn't know who was buried next to her. The bugs were actually the easiest to deal with. The most troublesome were actually the living people. She could guarantee this. There are no bugs in each room, but there is no guarantee that everyone is their own.
“Don’t worry, I have serious business today, so I won’t attract other people’s attention.” Xu Chuan came to visit because of the art exhibition, so his name was justifiable so that no one would be suspicious.
Kassandra thought about it seriously, "Thank you Michael for your kindness, but I still have my own plan."
Those who can do the work of an agent to her level must be someone with an extremely strong will, and Cassandra is not ready to give up on her preparations.
Xu Chuan shrugged his shoulders to express regret, and then prepared to leave. He had already brought Michael, so he could handle the matter. If the other party didn't appreciate it, he couldn't just kidnap the person away. That would not be rescuing but enmity.
“Boss, do we really not care about her?” Curtis asked as he got into the car.
Xu Chuan nodded, "She made her own choice. What can I do? Then we will do our best to save Michael's son."
“Then what are we going to do next?” Curtis started the car and drove towards the city.
“Bring that art dealer back, disguise him as the person who attacked the president’s mansion that day, and make things bigger.” The corners of Xu Chuan’s mouth raised. This time it was time for him to make trouble.
Curtis looked back at Xu Chuan and said, "I understand, boss."
