Chapter 645: Chapter 619: Not Enough

If you don’t know what to say, then don’t. It won’t make much of a difference anyway.

Gao Yi was still struggling with the captive in his hands, and he snarled, "Speak up, tell me everything you know!"

The captive had been shot in the spine; he was clearly not going to survive. He looked at Gao Yi with a bewildered gaze, the light fading quickly from his eyes.

Gao Yi reluctantly let go of the captive.

Yuri calmly said from the side, "They probably can’t storm in for now, but the real worry is that they might use heavy weapons. Our situation is still dangerous. Tell the White House to hurry up their actions."

Indeed, if people couldn’t break in, they could with tanks.

Although there are no tanks in New York City, if the FBI becomes desperate enough, a bigger bomb could also quickly solve the problem with Gao Yi and his group.

Gao Yi looked at Buck and whispered, "Does the FBI have heavy weapons?"

Buck stammered, "No, er, no, the FBI is a law enforcement agency, they don’t have heavy weapons."

Gao Yi felt considerably relieved.

But Parsons immediately replied, "But they have rocket launchers, they’ve already used them. Given the current situation, no need for heavy weapons; rocket launchers are sufficient, right?"

Gao Yi was momentarily speechless.

Oh yeah, the hostage rescue team has already used rocket launchers. Now if they fire a few rockets at the door, wouldn’t it be game over?

Parsons cautiously said, "Should we set up a defense at the entrance, at least to prevent the FBI from launching rockets at us from the door?"

"Then do it!"

Gao Yi was exasperated. They were supposed to be Pentagon-selected elites, and now at such a critical time, did they still need to ask him how to fight?

Parsons wasn’t incompetent; he had just lost confidence because of Gao Yi.

When someone says you need this, obviously you listen to them.

In the workplace, there might be scheming, but on the battlefield, the capable ones must lead.

Who would risk their own life?

Just then, Gao Yi’s phone rang.

Gao Yi quickly answered the call, and then he heard Panetta’s low voice, "The President has already called the FBI to hold them accountable for the New York situation. Our people are about to come and escort you out. As long as the FBI doesn’t dare to stage a coup, there won’t be a problem, but remain cautious and don’t get shot by the FBI."

"There’s plenty of people shooting outside. Is there any safe way to evacuate? I was about to get in the car just now, but the car was blown up by the FBI."

"I’ll ask the President to order the Special Service Bureau to send helicopters to pick you up."

"Okay."

Gao Yi hung up the phone and said to Parsons, "The White House has given the order, the FBI is supposed to retreat now. How’s it going from your side?"

The root of the problem needs to be solved. Gao Yi couldn’t handle the FBI, but he could get the White House to deal with them.

Gao Yi had more direct and timely information, having direct contacts, first-hand news, whereas the information reaching Parsons was much slower.

Parsons hurriedly dialed a number, whispered, "It seems the White House has ordered the FBI to retreat. Sir, what should I do, and how do we deal with the dead colleagues? We’re in New York. Too many are dead. We need to find a way to handle this."

It wasn’t clear what Parsons’ superior said on the phone, only that Parsons kept nodding. After about two minutes, he suddenly looked up at Gao Yi and said, "Someone asked me to inform you that we’ve obtained solid intelligence. The FBI did what they did because they cooperated with Ben. Their methods are simple: if they can kill you directly, they’ll take Ben’s bounty; if not, they’ll buy time for Ben."

"Buying time? What kind of time?"

"Ben has dispatched about two hundred people to the United States, of all kinds: intelligence operatives, gang assassins, retired soldiers. Their only goal is to kill you."

Gao Yi slightly opened his mouth and looked at Yuri.

Yuri’s facial muscles twitched slightly, and he appeared to be in deep thought, it wasn’t clear what he was pondering.

Gao Yi nodded.

Yuri immediately followed with a nod.

Gao Yi wondered if they could make another loud move.

The main thing was to get everyone evacuated. Gao Yi wasn’t sure if Yuri could accomplish another big disruption for Ben.

And Yuri’s nod meant he could.

How many tricks did Yuri have up his sleeve? It was unfathomable and incomprehensible.

Amos, the visible leader of the Soviet Restoration Committee, was now in the hands of the CIA, having confessed all he needed to. So the Soviet Restoration Committee should become a historical term, no longer posing any threat.

If Gao Yi were to strike hard again and cause another explosion for Ben, it would signify that the nuclear threat from the Soviet Restoration Committee hadn’t been eradicated, thus making Yuri a threat to all countries worldwide once more.

Therefore, if causing another explosion for Ben’s sake has serious repercussions, it could be quite costly.

"We’ll wait for the reinforcements to arrive and then withdraw. Don’t go outside now."

The current crisis hasn’t been completely resolved, but Gao Yi’s mind was already elsewhere, and he casually said one sentence, followed by a meaningful look at Yuri.

Yuri remained in deep thought, pondering whether to make another loud disruption.

At that moment, Parsons cautiously said, "I have additional intelligence that Ben sent out a large number of people for retaliation. But they aren’t just using their own people; now the whole underworld is going crazy. No matter how skilled you are, there’ll always be someone willing to take a risk."

Gao Yi nodded, "Hmm, I know."

"Unless we quickly take control of the Dark Web, gain control over it, although we can’t force Ben to cancel the bounty, we can make them lose a major channel for distributing rewards."

Parsons gestured with his hand and continued, "Though it can’t solve the problem fundamentally, it can change the current frenzy within the whole underworld."

Quickly seizing the Dark Web could serve as a stopgap, though not a long-term solution, but indeed useful.

Initially, Gao Yi intended to jump out of the situation and watch from the sidelines, but he realized he couldn’t.

Moreover, Gao Yi suddenly thought of a possibility, which was that Ben was frantically pursuing revenge today, focusing clearly on revenge targets. Now Ben’s method was to directly pay for physical elimination, but that’s because Ben was currently in turmoil, and their government couldn’t focus on other affairs, lacking the energy to employ more effective measures.

If time drags on, allowing Ben to recover and use the bounty money to pay the United States for protection fees, would the people currently protecting Gao Yi change their minds?

As long as Ben has a good talk with the Americans and offers enough benefits, then indeed, this American President might turn hostile.

Businessmen prioritize profit; now, protecting Gao Yi is because he’s useful, but eliminating him could promise greater benefits, he surely wouldn’t hesitate.

A person or an organization can’t ultimately win against a nation.

No, Ben must be painfully struck; the Americans must feel it’s wiser not to provoke him, otherwise peace will be unattainable.

Gao Yi looked at Yuri seriously and said, "It seems some people haven’t learned enough of a lesson."

Yuri nodded.
