Chapter 888: Chapter 893: Disguise

Yang Yi stepped out of the restroom and settled onto the couch in the living room.

"He broke down."

"That quickly? Much faster than I expected."

Annastasia smiled happily, then said contemplatively, "It’s good to deal with smart people. Smart people fear death, they know how to avoid dying. Most importantly, you just need to watch them, and they’ll figure everything out on their own. I like smart people because they are the simplest to handle."

"We can send him away now, only the current situation in France is a bit troublesome."

What Yang Yi had just told Steve was not entirely false; the French Territorial Guardianship Agency had indeed taken action.

Known as DSF, short for the Directorate of Territorial Surveillance, it falls under the jurisdiction of the General Directorate of Internal Security and is France’s most important domestic anti-espionage and counter-terrorism agency.

Frankly speaking, the capability of DSF is so-so. Over the years, the frequent terror attacks in France had left many criticizing the agency as ineffective. However, the issue is that DSF remains the most powerful and crucial anti-espionage agency on French soil. Once this organization starts operating at full capacity, the Organization of Water with its limited resources would really struggle to cope.

Of course, the biggest advantage of the Organization of Water was its secrecy. Nevertheless, DSF’s intervention would cause significant trouble for them.

Schultz and McDonald had already been sent off, while the gravely injured Vitali and Roman were still in a safe house. Vitali was too injured to move, so Woody, Paul, and Brian had to stay behind until the storm passed before they could leave.

But Steve was the most important of all.

The cost the Organization of Water had paid was not insignificant. From the moment they had forcibly broken out with Steve in tow, it was clear that giving up on Steve was no longer an option.

Now the question was how to get Steve out.

Annastasia brewed herself an instant coffee, returned to the couch with her cup, stirred it, and said calmly and confidently, "To get Steve out, we don’t need many people, just secrecy and swift action. Put makeup on Steve, place him in a car, and drive directly to Germany."

Yang Yi frowned. "That’s too risky. The police have set up many roadblocks in the name of preventing terrorist attacks. Every car is thoroughly checked. Should we send Steve away now, or should we wait here a few days?"

After pondering for a moment, Annastasia said, "It seems safe here for now. The martial law and lockdown by the French authorities won’t last too long. Waiting a few days for things to settle down is indeed a feasible option, but..."

Annastasia sighed, "Time is of the essence. Deyo is already dead, and too many people are after his inheritance. Every day we delay here, we might lose the opportunity to compete for a portion of the assets. Moreover, more people will keep arriving the longer we wait. It’s hard to say whether it will be safer or more dangerous."

Yang Yi reflected for a moment and said, "That’s true. So, how should we leave? Do you have any ideas?"

Annastasia was formidable, very formidable.

Indeed, since she had flipped Brian, a significant time had passed where Annastasia was left dormant. She had lived for decades under a false identity, but she had flipped Brian!

Turning the head of CIA operations in the Middle East Division was incredibly difficult, immeasurable in fact, so it was exceedingly challenging. Thus, Annastasia had accomplished a formidable feat – she had successfully flipped Brian.

Annastasia, having undergone a mission of defection, was unlikely to be assigned any new tasks soon, at least not overseas. After the Soviet Union collapsed, Annastasia could only assume an ordinary identity until now.

Annastasia was capable, although she remained silent for decades, but it was not due to a lack of ability.

Therefore, Yang Yi was willing to listen to Annastasia’s opinions. Previously, he would have asked Brian, but now he turned to Annastasia.

Well, it had to be admitted that Annastasia’s views and suggestions were mostly better than Brian’s, even better than Anton’s...

Annastasia sipped her coffee and then whispered, "This really tastes terrible."

With her usual elegance, she put down the cup and whispered, "You and Blade Queen will escort Steve because both of you are from Huaxia, and the French police will not scrutinize you too heavily. Meanwhile, Kate and I will follow behind you. But the strength of just you and Blade Queen is too thin; in case of an emergency, you will struggle. Then, let Brian, Anton, and Hans take another route, disguising Hans as Steve to draw attention."

Yang Yi frowned and said, "Fixing the plank road to cross the Chencang secretly."

"What?"

"Nothing. Just sum up your plan in simple terms; you mean to have Hans and the others draw DSF’s attention, but not only is it unnecessary, it’s also very dangerous for them."

Annastasia smiled and said, "Operations group, huh? If they don’t take on the highest risk, should we?"

Yang Yi involuntarily tugged at his collar and then frowned, "Is this really necessary?"

"Yes, the Territorial Guardianship Bureau..."

Annastasia thought for a moment, then pointed with a finger and said, "Compared to the police, the people from the Territorial Guardianship Bureau do have a bit of capability. We can’t take risks. As long as we can divert the bureau’s attention, just dealing with the police will be much easier."

Yang Yi exhaled and said, "Alright, let’s do it. I have a plan. We can use a police car, um, I’ve checked the locations of all the police stations in Nice."

Yang Yi pulled a folded map from his pocket, opened it up, and pointed at the circles drawn on the map, "These are the locations of the police stations. We’ll get a police car, put Steve in the back seat, turn on the siren and light, and walk out boldly. What do you think?"

Annastasia pondered and said, "First, we need a police car."

Yang Yi pointed toward the door and said, "There’s plenty outside, easy to get one."

"Hide the most important person in the most obvious place, put Steve in a visible spot..."

Annastasia thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Who will play the police? You and Xiao Ran can’t, neither can Kate and I. That means we need to pull people from the operations group, and at least two of them."

"Anton and Hans. Let’s not have them draw DSF’s attention. We’ll just disguise as police and walk out, how about that?"

Annastasia pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "That way, we can leave Nice at the fastest speed, but what after we leave Nice? As long as we are still on French territory, we are not out of danger yet."

Yang Yi smiled and said, "Simple, here’s what I think..."
