Chapter 433: Chapter 413 Official Action

Gao Yi’s task was complete.

It was just a matter of making a few phone calls, and that’s all that was needed.

Gao Yi was accompanied by several more bodyguards, even at the swimming pool he remained thoroughly protected.

Then, roughly eighteen hours later, Shaman made another call.

"It’s me. The White House hasn’t made an official stance yet, but I received a call from the White House Chief of Staff."

The White House Chief of Staff, the second most powerful person in the White House, the first under the President, with real authority, indeed someone who can make decisions. It can be said that the Chief of Staff’s attitude is the President’s attitude.

Gao Yi was delighted and asked, "How did it go?"

"Negotiations have started. As long as there is room to negotiate things can be managed, but the Chief of Staff has given me several non-negotiable conditions. Firstly, there are a few people in Constantinople that need to be dealt with, and then, a few in Saudi who oppose me must be resolved. Now, you are the only one who can help me, brother. I hope you can take care of it."

Back to being an assassin at last?

Gao Yi said in a deep voice, "Who are they?"

"I will give you a list, it is absolutely confidential. Normally, this is something Abdulla should do..."

Shaman fell silent, remaining so for a full ten seconds before speaking again, not without anger, "But now I can only rely on you. You will help me, won’t you, brother?"

"Of course."

Abdulla proved to be unreliable, the Secret Intelligence Bureau was already infiltrated by the United States like a sieve. Shaman had twenty to thirty thousand spy agents under him, yet in the end, it all came down to Gao Yi.

Of course, it was also because Shaman felt at ease using Gao Yi, which is why he did not hesitate to entrust him with a mission critical to his own fate.

Forget the background and scale, it’s the efficiency and the results that count.

Not to mention the Saudi Secret Intelligence Bureau, every intelligence agency in the world, including behemoths like the CIA and KGB, who can dare to claim they’re more efficient than Gao Yi?

Capability is one thing, efficiency is another.

It’s because he has fewer people, isn’t professional but has good relationships and connections, which is why Gao Yi, after receiving Shaman’s call, could immediately set off. Who else could do that?

At this moment, what Gao Yi thought about was whether he could save Abdulla’s life.

Shaman never spoke of how to deal with Abdulla.

Given the mess Abdulla created, he would deserve death even if he were killed, there was no question of him being a scapegoat or taking the fall unjustly.

But Abdulla used to be Shaman’s trusted aide, and if a trusted aide had to die for making a mistake... well, that seemed both right and wrong.

As a decisive ruler, if one’s heart is not firm and one’s hand is not ruthless, then one cannot accomplish great things.

But having subordinates who might be killed at any moment also really chills the heart.

What to choose, how to handle, that’s for Shaman to consider, but as a friend, at least an old acquaintance, Gao Yi had to try to help and at least attempt to save Abdulla’s life.

Gao Yi said in a low voice, "Big brother, how will you deal with Abdulla?"

"Huh..."

Shaman let out a long sigh.

It really was a difficult decision.

In terms of capability, this was the second major blunder by Abdulla. Last time he failed to capture Gao Yi, instead getting caught by the CIA himself, and in the end, it forced Gao Yi to come back and rescue him. That was his first failure, and it put Shaman in a difficult and risky situation.

This time, Abdulla shoved Shaman into the fire pit once again.

For things that should be spoken and shouldn’t, as the Deputy Director of the Secret Intelligence Bureau and a professional, how could he have missed a wiretap on Jamal? It was negligence, a low-level error, a serious blunder.

Shaman would not be going too far to gun down Abdulla ten thousand times over.

But after all, Abdulla had been a loyal and dedicated insider, doing many things for Shaman, and thus deserved some special treatment.

After much contemplation, Shaman whispered, "He deserves to die. If I don’t kill him, those below will lose their reverence. But since you’ve asked like this, I assume you want him to live. In light of your face, I can strip him of all his positions, let him... just be an ordinary guard."

With just one sentence, Shaman knew what Gao Yi meant.

Shaman gave face, and Gao Yi was very content.

However, Gao Yi whispered, "Thank you, brother. Give me the list."

"I’ll give it to you right away. Tell me what you need. Hm, Constantinople attacked me this way; I must retaliate. Therefore, there will be big shots from Constantinople on the list. If you find it difficult to deal with, you can hold off, and I will take my time to seek revenge when I am less busy."

"Understood. I will act according to the situation."

For Gao Yi, good brothers don’t talk about money.

For Shaman, talking about money doesn’t make one a good brother.

So the phone call ended like that.

Gao Yi put down the cell phone, and Lucy shifted her legs, saying, "Are we becoming assassins now?"

"Yes."

In fact, it wasn’t quite being an assassin, but rather an executor dealing with a series of troubles for Shaman. But to put it briefly, it was just one word, kill.

So it could only mean returning to the identity of an assassin.

The text message came through, densely packed, with at least twenty names, along with detailed information on each person. The list was long.

A big job indeed.

Marina was not there, but Green had not left yet. He would certainly not leave before someone replaced him.

So the first thing to do was to discuss it with Green.

"There’s progress on the American side. Not to mention how Shaman is negotiating with the United States, just what I can do—Shaman wants me to eliminate the people on this list."

Gao Yi took out his cell phone and displayed the list.

Green was initially expressionless, but his eyes lit up after seeing the list, especially the detailed information of the people on it.

"Let’s start with him."

Green pointed to a name ranked twelfth on the list and said indifferently, "A prince living in London. This one is easy to deal with. Let’s consider it as the goodwill of the Military Intelligence, Sixth Department. Oh ho, two people in London."

Green laughed and then sincerely said to Gao Yi, "I have always been looking for the right time to leave, and now hasn’t this time arrived? Come to London with me, I’ll ensure your safety, and then have the right manpower to help you handle it. Wouldn’t that be good?"

Green was planning to leave, but he would bring in someone else to train Gao Yi, and by the way protect him. Now it was good, he could also offer a helping hand to Gao Yi.

Indeed, it was quite good.

But then Gao Yi suddenly pointed to the sixth name on the list, saying, "This person is in Paris."

Green grimaced and said, "Uh, I’m very sincere, the Military Intelligence will definitely help you, but here..."

This place is Paris. Is it asking whether Marina is willing to help Gao Yi?

Green felt he didn’t even have a chance to sow discord; the relationship between Gao Yi and Marina right now was too solid for him to stir.

So eventually, Green still said softly, "Then let’s deal with the target in Paris first, and then go to London. You can ask Marina."

Gao Yi scratched his head and asked, "Do I not need to take action? Then what does this count as? I mean, what sort of nature is this?"

Green smacked his lips and replied, "Very simple. Official operation."
