Chapter 462: Chapter 442: Let’s Talk

For a mercenary, the MP5 is a personal defense weapon and is used by snipers as a secondary weapon; it’s not about underestimating submachine guns, but rather they simply overlook them.

Machine guns, heavy machine guns, rocket mortars, those are the basic components of infantry firepower. Submachine guns are a bit better than pistols, but only slightly.

For an assassin, an MP5 is already an exceptionally heavy firepower.

Lucy was very content, although she didn’t say it, the way she horizontally placed the MP5 on her lap and unconsciously caressed the body of the gun with her right hand, revealed how satisfied she felt at that moment.

When it’s time to act, act. Eliminating Xinfeng doesn’t require any special preparations, except that it’s a bit time-sensitive; there’s nothing else that needs much attention.

The coordination must be executed well.

Xinfeng needs to drive thirty to thirty-five minutes to reach his workplace daily, he is very punctual, and hence his departure time is fixed, with only the time of arrival varying depending on the traffic conditions.

The road conditions from Xinfeng’s house to the collision meeting point are very good, with few vehicles.

Up ahead is a red-painted Mercedes Atego box truck, a medium-sized truck, which Sith carefully selected and stole just at eight o’clock this morning.

A delivery truck specifically for transporting Coca-Cola to community stores, it’s empty inside, but such a vehicle wouldn’t look out of place on any road during the day.

The medium-sized truck can also ensure absolute supremacy over a BMW 3 Series.

Meanwhile, the car driven by Gao Yi and Lucy is a BMW X5.

To ensure superiority in size over a BMW 3 Series sedan while maintaining maximum mobility.

Gao Yi initially used a Mercedes GLE, but after finding the gear handlings awkward, he decisively switched cars.

Details are the key to the success or failure of an operation; Gao Yi does not want to be fumbling and distracted by shifting gears during a high-speed road chase.

Don’t use radio, make phone calls.

Because radios are easier to eavesdrop on. Even if they can’t be decrypted, detecting nearby radio usage signals trouble, but phone calls cannot be monitored.

"I’m off to work, see you later."

Suddenly Dani’s voice came through the earpiece, by ’going to work’, he meant he started moving as scheduled.

Gao Yi didn’t respond; Sith responded first.

"I’m on my way to work too."

Both communicated successfully; finally, Gao Yi said, "Me too."

There’s nothing to instruct since the target is punctual; the operation just needs to proceed as planned.

No one stayed near Xinfeng’s house to monitor him in advance, as it could risk exposure, and no one followed right after Xinfeng’s car passed, which would almost certainly mean being spotted.

Never underestimate a spy’s vigilance level, though Xinfeng’s punctuality is unreasonable for his profession. Considering this is Germany, and punctuality is prized in work culture here, perhaps Xinfeng was influenced by that.

There was no rehearsal or practice, so the coordination in this operation might not be very high, meaning that the three vehicles might not meet precisely at the designated spot.

The most crucial part of this operation is Sith, whether he can crash into the trade wind room is the key to the operation’s success; as for Gao Yi and Dani, they are both backups.

One to block Xinfeng’s path, the other to block his way back.

Gao Yi followed behind Sith’s truck, about two hundred meters away, Sith’s vehicle obscured his vision, he couldn’t see too far ahead, so his task was to maintain speed and distance, and honestly follow.

"Target spotted."

This stretch of road was narrow, but straight.

It was the ambush spot, with a good field of vision, Sith spotted the target vehicle and whispered, "Distance about a thousand meters, white sedan, maintain speed, prepare for impact."

One kilometer, two vehicles driving head-on won’t take much time, the collision will happen very soon.

The speed was not slow, about eighty kilometers per hour, and Gao Yi didn’t know the speed of Xinfeng’s car but it should also be around seventy to eighty kilometers per hour, which means the collision will happen in...

Wait, can’t calculate it, but it should be in about ten seconds or so.

Sith’s math seemed better than Gao Yi’s, he suddenly said, "Seven-second countdown, six, five, wait! The target is slowing down and stopping!"

An unexpected change.

This plan was simple but well-refined, and the simpler the plan, the easier it usually is to succeed.

The more complex the operation plan, the more likely problems are to occur.

But now there was a problem, why did Xinfeng suddenly stop? Did he notice something unusual?

"Block the road! Force him off the road!"

Sith shouted anxiously, signaling Gao Yi to overtake him and drive alongside. Logically, Xinfeng wouldn’t keep driving towards him now, because during the moment the vehicles pass each other, whether they could avoid a collision was uncertain. To minimize risk, the best option for Xinfeng would be to turn around and then use the faster speed and better maneuverability of his car to evade Sith’s truck.

"I see you, he can’t escape! Get ready to get out of the car and pursue on foot."

Dani’s tone was unfriendly, and he too arrived at the location, punctual to the minute, but this time, this near-perfect simple plan still encountered a situation beyond control.

Why did Xinfeng suddenly stop the car?

Gao Yi’s car was parallel to Sith’s truck, and he saw the target’s white sedan parked by the roadside, its hazard lights flashing.

At that moment, Xinfeng got out of the car, walked around the front of the car, and quickly moved to the passenger side door. Suddenly, he raised both hands, making a gesture to stop.

He crossed his hands in a ’T’ sign—a time-out gesture common in sports, and a universal sign to stop, clear and unlikely to be misunderstood.

By then, Gao Yi and his team were less than a hundred meters away from Xinfeng.

"Stop the car!"

Sith suddenly hit the brakes, and the truck made a sharp screeching sound, while Gao Yi’s car rushed forward because he was a bit slower in applying the brakes.

Why the target just says stop and we stop? Shouldn’t it be time to charge forward and hammer him down, or at least drive by and spray him with bullets?

However, after Sith said to stop the car and slammed on the brakes, Dani behind the target made the same decision.

"Stop the car! Stop the car!"

From afar, Dani’s car was still about three hundred meters away, but he also noticeably reduced his speed.

Gao Yi believed there must be a reason why both spies decided to stop the car as Xinfeng requested, so although reluctantly, he too pressed the brake.

Lucy suddenly raised her submachine gun, aiming it at Xinfeng.

When Gao Yi’s car stopped, it was less than fifty meters away from Xinfeng.

"Do not come any closer! Reverse, do not approach!"

Sith’s voice was cautious, he whispered, "We don’t know what means the other party has, but a simple fact is, he noticed us and stopped his car before we could collide, and even made us stop our cars. That means... he is the one in control."

Dani reluctantly said, "It’s us who have fallen into the trap; I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a plane above waiting to strike us with a missile."

That’s what it was.

The minds of top agents are indeed quick and more cautious. If it were Gao Yi himself, he wouldn’t care whether he was exposed or fell into the enemy’s trap.

Before his mind could catch up, Gao Yi would have already charged forward, maybe even collided directly.

But what Sith and Dani said makes sense. The other party is acting so boldly because they are fearless.

So, have I unwittingly fallen into their trap, and now I’m the one who’s doomed?

Gao Yi immediately shifted into reverse, and at the same time, he told Lucy, "Don’t shoot!"

Gao Yi decided to reverse the car.

Less than fifty meters away, but he still couldn’t clearly see if the person who got out of the car was really Xinfeng. Gao Yi felt that since they had fallen into the enemy’s trap, the person waiting by the roadside couldn’t possibly be Xinfeng.

Run.

Just then, Gao Yi suddenly saw the target waving towards him, then raising his hand.

"Come and talk. How should I address you, truck driver, or Busan, or maybe Hammer God, or should I call you Gardener?"

A fifth voice chimed in through the earpiece.

Now making a call, with three cellphones between four people comprising Gao Yi holding one and sharing with Lucy, Sith and Dani each having one, using a simple conference call mode for conversation.

The truck driver mentioned obviously wasn’t Sith; Gao Yi knew his internal codename at the CIA had always been truck driver, but the key point is, this codename is hostile, meaning anyone who calls him truck driver is definitely from the opposition.

What’s more surprising is that Xinfeng joined this communications network.

Gao Yi was considerably shocked.

Because these cellphones were provided by Gao Yi, and most importantly, these weren’t CIA standard issue phones but satellite and multi-model base station phones provided by Grasse from the Pentagon.

The communication between these satellite phones was supposed to be secured, using satellite signals in the open and regular communication bases indoors functioning like ordinary cellphones. They weren’t using satellite signals now, but outsiders shouldn’t be able to intrude so easily.

"You..."

Gao Yi didn’t even know what to say, he instinctively wanted to ask, but then stopped himself.

"I am Xinfeng, I surrender, let’s talk."

This time Gao Yi was no longer shocked, but confused.

Wanting to eliminate Xinfeng, who seems to have been well prepared and despite apparently having the upper hand, now voluntarily said he surrenders.

Odd things happen every year, but today is especially abundant.

The communications network was invaded, so both Dani and Sith did not speak. After hesitating for a moment, Gao Yi finally said, "Okay, let’s talk!"
