Chapter 925 Chess Game
Frank looked at Anna with a half-smile, "You guessed right, someone will suggest that Vasiliev give you a medal. He may not agree, but he will definitely summon you when he comes to Paris."
Listening to the two talking about the subsequent action plan, Jack looked at Brian, who just shrugged innocently.
Frank was the right person for this matter. Only an old guy who had been in the complicated era of the late Cold War could have come up with this situation.
——
Late at night, in the safe house, after eating a little vegetable salad, Jack packed up and prepared to leave. This time the lurking time was not as long as before, but the time required for evacuation later was not short. Reducing unnecessary food can avoid trouble as much as possible.
The rest of the people also had their own tasks. Brian handed Jack a few bullets with red warheads and left quickly.
Before him, Anna had already gone ahead. She should be waiting anxiously for orders from the FSB in her apartment in the city center.
At about 3 a.m., Jack sneaked into the renovated observation deck with "TAC-50" on his back.
Frank said that the construction here had been temporarily suspended due to funding issues, and promised that no one would disturb them, but he still searched carefully up and down, and set up simple sound traps at several entrances.
Everything was ready, and the long wait began. The weather was good in the morning. Paris should have a temperate marine climate, with no severe cold in winter and no scorching heat in summer, but there would be slightly more rain in spring and autumn.
Today was a sunny day with clear skies in autumn. Jack didn't know whether Frank had taken this into account. Judging from the style of this old spy planning operations, it should be very likely.
At the same time, in the embassy two kilometers away from Jack, Anna was sitting on a bench in the corridor on the third floor, trying to adjust her breathing and heartbeat.
When Frank explained the whole plan, there was a moment when she wanted to give up directly. She even suspected that the whole thing was a conspiracy from the beginning. Since she accidentally drank the sleepy black tea and was kidnapped, she was in a huge conspiracy.
Because all this was too incredible, when she was most helpless, a handsome figure suddenly came down and protected her under him, just like a planned hero saving a beauty plot.
She admitted that she was a little confused because of the drugs at that time, and she was quite moved for a moment, but which agent has not received drug tolerance training?
However, just when she was about to act, the guy suddenly revealed his identity, and the development of things afterwards was completely beyond her expectations.
Anna has been secretly reminding herself that this may be a trap set by the other party, but reason tells her that it is not.
She is just an insignificant little person, and no one would set a trap for a little person like herself at the cost of the lives of so many rich and famous people.
When she followed Jack to finish off the knife with the "Viper", she deliberately confirmed the identities of the people in the box. Although she didn't know all of them, the familiar faces did not have any traces of makeup.
She knew that the conversation between the two later was deliberately heard by her, and she also knew that this was a kind hint from Jack, so Anna tried to grab the life-saving straw without hesitation halfway.
The development of things afterwards was again beyond her expectations. The girl was ready to give everything she had, but was despised by a hateful guy.
What seemed like an impossible task to her was accomplished in just a few phone calls for a bald old man.
Frank's plan also stunned her. Not only did she not have to take too much risk, but she was no longer the final executor and the real beneficiary.
In this plan, the freedom she had always dreamed of and longed for seemed to be a by-product. This was completely unreasonable but seemed so real.
A long time ago, Anna told herself not to trust men, not to trust anyone, and the only person she could rely on was herself.
But she could do nothing by herself, it was nothing more than moving from one cage to another.
"The general wants to see you." A man named Chenkov appeared in front of Anna.
Anna looked up at him. This man had been her hope. He recruited her into the FSB with a false promise and was also the object of seduction in her original plan.
The only thing she was confident about was her appearance. She could detect the desire hidden in the man's seemingly cold eyes, the desire to "eat her alive".
He certainly wouldn't mind that he was too thin and his bones were sticking out. This was clearly the body every girl dreamed of.
Anna thought of another hateful man for no reason, and quickly collected her thoughts, stood up and smoothed the wrinkles on her skirt, and followed Chenkov without saying a word.
Walking into an ordinary lounge, there was a small table in the middle, on which a chessboard had been placed, and an ashtray was placed next to it.
Anna subconsciously looked at the window facing west and found that the red curtains had been drawn, but the window was not open.
Vasilyev had a cigar in his mouth, and when he saw Anna, he just nodded slightly towards the seat opposite him, motioning her to sit down.
"I invited you to play a game last time we met, but you refused. You shouldn't refuse me again this time, right?"
Anna forced a smile and sat opposite Vasilyev.
The last time she saw this general, he had a gun pointed at his head one second, and the next second this psychopath asked to play chess with her. She had the courage to answer that she would play chess another day, which was already a disregard for life and death.
Thinking of this, Anna looked out the window again. Vasiliev seemed to have misunderstood something, and nodded to Chenkov who was accompanying her, "Go open the window."
The girl was slightly startled. She didn't expect that the only task assigned to her by Frank was completed so naturally, and she didn't even need to pretend to be choked by smoke.
Vasiliev was in a good mood today. Although the important guest was stuck in the middle of the road due to traffic problems, it also gave him some rare rest time.
Although his subordinates would prepare a smoking room and chess for him wherever he went, Vasiliev rarely used it. One reason was that he didn't have time, and the other reason was that he lacked a good opponent.
And the girl in front of him was a good opponent. She was stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat. He just hoped that her chess skills could be as good as written in her information.
"I must admit that I didn't have much hope for you at first. A girl who is too beautiful will become a big trouble sooner or later, so we usually only hire some ordinary-looking ones."
Vasilev stroked the gray beard on his chin. His stone-green pupils were a little white around his age, like the eyes of a dead fish, and it was extremely creepy when he stared at people.
Anna did not respond, and did not know how to respond. She concentrated on thinking and then moved the chess pieces on the chessboard.
Vasilev chattered to himself, "Your superior suggested to me that you be awarded a medal of excellence. If you can win a game against me today, the medal will be yours. What do you think?"
"I will try my best." Anna tried to restrain herself from looking at the window and tried her best to focus on the chessboard in front of her, but it was really difficult.
As time passed, she even had a doubt. The experience of the past few days was like a dream, no longer so real, as if everything was imagined by herself.
Could it be that all this was just a dream? She was actually still under the effects of hallucinogens. She was so eager for freedom that she imagined this series of incredible experiences. In reality, she was actually being ravaged by some obese rich man.
"You don't look very well today. If that's all, the medal will be far away from you."
For a moment, even Vasilyev's voice on the other side became a little unclear.
". General!"
A few drops of warm liquid suddenly splashed on her face. Anna suddenly came back to her senses, and then she heard a belated sound of breaking through the air.
"Swoosh!"
