Chapter 446: Chapter 434: Unexpected Gains

Jethro wanted chaos to erupt in Ukraine to hasten the current government’s fall, but he certainly didn’t wish for an internal war in Ukraine.

It was only with Arseniy’s people in power that Jethro had a chance to wrestle the large Ukrainian arms stockpile from Big Ivan, but if internal war broke out, the outcome of who would lose and who would win was uncertain.

That was why Jethro was so furious, Arseniy’s crew clearly had the opportunity for a peaceful resolution, but who knows whose terrible idea it was to order the Golden Eagle Troops to kneel and apologize, which was a vicious stab at the already tense emotions of the Eastern Ukrainians.

The Golden Eagle Troops were numerically few, and their role in the entire Ukrainian chaos was limited, but forcing the Golden Eagle Troops to kneel was an event with a significant symbolic impact, pushing the situation towards a battle.

Jethro threw a hysterical fit but ultimately, he could only helplessly accept reality.

At first, Jethro was stomping and insisting on ferreting out whoever was causing trouble behind the scenes, but after calming down, he completely stopped mentioning it.

What would it matter if he could drag the person out, what if he knew who wanted to stir up an internal war in Ukraine, Jethro was just an arms dealer. He could help Arseniy influence the situation, but after all, he was only doing Arseniy’s dirty work. In plain terms, he was still just a manifestation of Arseniy’s will, so there was nothing he could do besides accepting reality.

After venting his anger, Jethro sat slumped in his chair for a long time. Then, adjusting his emotion, he stood up as if nothing had happened. After tidying up his clothes slightly, he said in a deep voice, "Sorry, you all continue eating, I have some matters to take care of."

After Jethro left, Kate pushed her plate aside and said in a low voice, "I’m full. I’m going to rest."

Kate too left the dining room. Yang Yi gave a wry smile and said softly to Boyata not far from him, "Shouldn’t you go and check on him?"

Boyata, in his thirties and looking quite refined, as Jethro’s assistant, he was certainly trusted deeply by Jethro.

After hearing what Yang Yi said, Boyata shook his head, saying, "No, let him have some quiet time."

The interrupted dinner continued, Yang Yi and the others silently finished the somewhat cooled food, and then one by one, stood up and returned to their rooms.

The main goal for Yang Yi and his team was to determine Deyo Mather’s location.

A few people had already gathered for a casual chat, and as Yang Yi passed by Kate’s room, he slipped inside.

Kate shook her head at Yang Yi.

Yang Yi asked in a low voice, "No good?"

"No good, he made phone calls, but everything was encrypted, and we couldn’t figure out anything."

Yang Yi thought Jethro might call Deyo Mather, so Kate took a risk to intercept the signal to find out Jethro’s phone number. This way, as long as Jethro’s calls were to Deyo, they would know Deyo Marcel’s phone number.

But the result was just as Yang Yi had expected, the satellite phone Jethro and Deyo Marcel used to communicate was indeed encrypted multiple times, and with the equipment they had, they could not find any useful information.

Yang Yi said softly, "Never try to check again, dismantle and safely store the equipment."

He wasn’t too disappointed, as Yang Yi had not expected to easily find Deyo Marcel’s phone number. It was just an attempt after noticing an opportunity. Since he hadn’t had much hope, naturally, he wasn’t too let down.

And since Jethro’s satellite phone was encrypted, there was no point in trying again; they would have to find another way.

Just when Yang Yi thought the day would pass peacefully, a late-night message from Jethro about needing to go out awaited him.

Jethro seemed very calm, but Yang Yi, who had come to understand Jethro well, could now tell that Jethro was actually very anxious.

Midway there, Yang Yi sensed that Jethro was going to meet Arseny, and after dropping Jethro off at his destination, his guess was confirmed, as they arrived at Arseny’s house.

The last time, Yang Yi and his group had forcibly entered Arseny’s home, but this time there was no need; Jethro just had someone announce his arrival before entering Arseny’s home, leaving Yang Yi and the others naturally to stay in the car.

However, there were bugs left by Yang Yi’s team in Arseny’s house.

The bugs’ signal range was limited; they wouldn’t be able to intercept anything if they weren’t within the emission range, and Yang Yi and his team had no chance to come here these days, so those few bugs naturally lost their functionality, but now, Yang Yi could find out what Jethro would say.

Yang Yi took out his phone, and then he discovered, to his surprise, that there was Wi-Fi signal inside Arseny’s house.

A pleasant surprise, a major thrill.

Without Jethro by his side, everything was easy to manage, and Yang Yi immediately sent a text to Tang Guo.

"Remotely manipulate my phone to connect to the Wi-Fi signal, it’s important, you know what to do."

The Wi-Fi signal was crucial because the bugs’ signal could be transmitted through the Wi-Fi signal. As long as Tang Guo could connect to Arseny’s in-house Wi-Fi through Yang Yi’s phone from the United Kingdom, she would then know the network account for this Wi-Fi, and once knowing the network account, it would be like her "chicken" ready for use.

After that, it would be simple; Tang Guo could control the bugs through the Wi-Fi signal, and then in turn have the bugs’ signal transmitted to her via Wi-Fi, from then on, those bugs, which required proximity to eavesdrop, could be monitored at any time, as long as the Wi-Fi signal was uninterrupted.

There were too many exploitable vulnerabilities; this was the power of technology and a feature of the digital age.

Wi-Fi signals wouldn’t be found around certain political figures, and if there were any, they’d be heavily encrypted. But Arseny clearly hadn’t realized this, or perhaps he did but didn’t care.

Even if the Wi-Fi signal wasn’t from Arseny’s house, it didn’t matter. Even if it was from a neighbor’s Wi-Fi, as long as it overlapped with the bugs’ transmission range, that would be sufficient.

Five minutes later, Yang Yi received a text from Tang Guo.

"Done."

After deleting the message, Yang Yi turned off his phone.

Now, he just hoped Arseny would stay in this house a bit longer, and that the Wi-Fi signal would continue to exist.

He continued to wait until Jethro came out of Arseny’s house.

There was no particular expression on Jethro’s face; after getting into the car, Jethro simply said indifferently, "Let’s go back."

On the way back, Jethro maintained silence throughout, only letting out a long sigh close to arrival, then said in a low voice, "This country is done
