Chapter 3193 The King of Hide and Seek
"I said on the plane that we must follow the rules."
"Discipline, discipline."
"Can't you even listen to me, kid?"
Old Chen was raging at his residence, while Yang Xiaotao stood obediently to the side, head down, not daring to look at him.
Back at his lodgings, he had just chatted with Mosidov about the oil pipeline when he heard from his entourage that Yang Xiaotao had taken some people out shopping.
This infuriated him.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao with his head down and not saying a word, Old Chen became even angrier.
This kid clearly doesn't take it seriously.
Taking a deep breath, Mr. Chen forced himself to calm down.
We can't afford to be complacent about dealing with this troublesome guy.
"From now on, you are not to act without my orders."
"This is an order."
Old Chen felt that he had been too lenient with Yang Xiaotao, which had emboldened the other party to become even more 'outrageous'. Since that was the case, he decided to be more serious.
"Yes, I understand."
"I will obey orders without question."
Yang Xiaotao quickly looked up and agreed. Anyway, the work had already been done, and everything that needed to be 'marked' had been marked.
I don't need to handle the operation tonight either; with Xiao Wei, the 'assassin,' everything will be fine.
"Hmph, you'd better remember that."
Old Chen snorted coldly, then sat down to the side.
I've calmed down by now, since no one's hurt.
Seeing that Old Chen's anger had subsided, Yang Xiaotao quickly stepped forward to serve tea and water.
Old Chen took a sip of tea before looking at Yang Xiaotao properly. He then gestured for him to sit down and said, "Mosidov probably invited us here to deepen our economic cooperation."
Yang Xiaotao nodded in agreement. "That's not surprising."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to come."
Old Chen snorted coldly, "Wouldn't it have been the same if I had sent you?"
"Your Ninth Division has built quite a few factories here."
Yang Xiaotao quickly shook his head, "Boss, although these factories were built with the help of our Ninth Department, it was all agreed upon by you and the higher-ups. This was not a decision made by our Ninth Department."
"Alright, alright, I was just saying, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Of course we have to make that clear, otherwise if word gets out, it'll give them something to use against us!"
Yang Xiaotao quickly offered an explanation, while also asking, "Sir, how does the other party want to cooperate?"
When it comes to economic cooperation, Yang Xiaotao is quite enthusiastic.
After all, oil is a specialty of Persia.
This includes oil reserves, oil extraction, and petrochemicals.
These are all significant benefits for the country.
Moreover, the relationship between the two sides became very close because of the Tomcat fighter jet.
Yang Xiaotao didn't know what would happen in the future, but at least for now, the two were in their honeymoon period.
Upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's question, Old Chen took another sip of tea before saying seriously, "The other party's cooperation method is quite novel."
"Perfect, you can listen to it too."
Then, Old Chen recounted his conversation with Mosidov.
Yang Xiaotao opened his mouth wide after hearing this, looking incredulous.
The next moment, Yang Xiaotao picked up the paper and pen on the table and drew a topographical map on it.
Then he pointed to the Persian region, then to the Chinese region, before turning to Elder Chen, "Sir, are you sure he's not joking?"
"From Persia, and then."
Yang Xiaotao drew a line on the sketch, which passed through the three countries of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. This border crossing would involve solving many problems, not just the toll.
This seems rather unrealistic.
Old Chen glanced at it and nodded, "That's right, that's what they mean."
"He got this idea after hearing about our natural gas project in Turkmenistan."
"He also said that although this method is more expensive than sea freight, it is more convenient."
"Once completed, it will facilitate economic exchanges between the two sides."
Old Chen rubbed his hands together, looking somewhat tempted.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotao also pondered the feasibility of the project.
After all, purchasing natural gas from Turkmenistan was almost a foregone conclusion, and the feasibility of this route has been proven by later generations.
Moreover, Turkmenistan itself has a considerable amount of oil.
If it is actually built, oil can be purchased from Turkmenistan, so why insist on buying from Persia?
In short, Yang Xiaotao thought this matter was not very reliable.
However, judging from Old Chen's expression, he seems somewhat tempted.
"What do you think, how about we go down from here?"
Suddenly, Old Chen drew a line below the horizontal line drawn by Yang Xiaotao.
Yang Xiaotao glanced at the other person's name and immediately shook his head.
That's the imperial graveyard!
"Boss, this is even less reliable. It started to get chaotic last year and it's still chaotic now. If we dare to go, we'll probably get stuck."
"Compared to the first one, I think it's not as good."
Old Chen frowned, then relaxed, because what Yang Xiaotao said really made sense.
"That's true, it is indeed a bit chaotic there."
After saying that, Old Chen looked at Yang Xiaotao again, "I'll report this matter to the authorities back home and discuss it with them when I get back."
"However, you need to come up with a solution for the situation in Turkmenistan as soon as possible."
Upon hearing what Elder Chen said, Yang Xiaotao understood Elder Chen's plan: to use the gas pipeline issue to persuade the domestic leaders.
Yang Xiaotao had no other ideas, he just nodded and said, "Okay, I'll urge them to finish it as soon as I get back to China."
Old Chen nodded, then leaned back in his chair and started talking to Yang Xiaotao about Persia.
The two began by discussing the current situation in Persia, and then analyzed the advantages, disadvantages, and various possibilities for the future of each side.
According to their analysis, as long as Mosidov continues to maintain his current "ambition" and attitude, he has a 70% chance of success in the end.
The rest is up to time.
By the time the two finished talking, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
After a long day on the plane, Mr. Chen was quite tired, so Yang Xiaotao got up to say goodbye.
When they returned to the room, Ran Qiuye was already exhausted and resting. Yang Xiaotao also felt tired and went to bed to rest.
While Yang Xiaotao was resting, Yu Zecheng, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei were arranging security work.
Tomorrow we will begin the wedding preparation stage. A large number of attendees will be coming, and the crowd will be diverse, so they need to be fully prepared.
Of course, if something like what happened to Yang Xiaotao today were to happen again, Li Yunlong would have to rush in and yell at him.
While the group was having a serious discussion, Xiao Wei had already started her 'hide-and-seek' operation.
Following the will of its master, Yang Xiaotao, Xiaowei's purpose is to nip any threat to his safety in the bud. In the pitch-black night, Xiaowei begins to traverse the silent night sky, following the marks left behind during the day.
Before long, Xiao Wei arrived at the residence of the guy who had marked the location first.
Inside the house, Bim was doing yoga.
Despite his seemingly robust physique, he possesses astonishing flexibility.
Just like now, the person is squatting on the ground with their left leg supporting them, while their right leg is placed on their neck, and their hands are clasped together behind their back, without moving.
At this moment, Bim's eyes were closed, as if he were asleep.
The next moment, Bim suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the clock beside him.
It's 10 o'clock.
The action is gone.
According to his plan, he was going out tonight to scout out the location again and prepare for the next phase of his plan.
Just as he was about to put his right leg down, he suddenly saw a strange scene.
Why did the bed frame move?
Then I looked closely, and there was no change!
hallucinations!
It must be a hallucination caused by oxygen deprivation in the brain.
But why does this illusion feel so real?
Just as Bim was stunned, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ankle, and a cracking sound came from his supporting left leg as his entire leg sank under the bed board, and his body landed on the bed board.
Sigh~~
"This damn bed, I'm going to kill these bastards."
Bim was cursing the hotel owner, thinking it was a problem with the quality of the bed boards.
The pain in his left foot was a great worry for him; if he got injured at this time, his subsequent plans would be affected.
However, we need to loosen up the movements first, otherwise we won't be able to get our legs out like this.
Just as Bim was about to loosen his right leg, a sudden wave of dizziness washed over him.
"No, not good."
"poisonous!"
Having lived on the edge of life and death for years, Bim immediately realized that he had been tricked and instinctively shouted it out.
In an instant, Bim thought of getting up as soon as possible to find a way to detoxify himself. He might not have time to save himself, so he had to call for his companions.
However, he underestimated the potency of the poison. The weakness that was gripping his body, and the complete loss of sensation in his left leg, then spread to his lower body, and subsequently to his entire body.
"It's a bed board!"
In the final moments of his life, Bim finally figured out the source of the deadly toxin.
床！
To be precise, it was poison on the bed board.
But I haven't met anyone here.
Moreover, such a potent poison could not have been prepared in advance, as that would have wasted its medicinal properties.
In other words, the other party likely poisoned him when he went out during the day.
That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying.
This is a terrible trap!
As he lay dying, Bim felt a pang of regret, realizing he shouldn't have accepted the mission.
咻咻
Xiao Wei flew out of the bed and looked at the lifeless human, letting out two joyful cries.
Then, glancing around the room, Bim's body sank under the bed with a wave of his hand, and then disappeared from the room through the wooden floorboards.
pop
Xiao Wei clapped her hands and said happily, "Now it's well hidden, no one can find it."
After saying that, it flew away again.
In a room not far away.
The elderly Mediterranean man, who was fast asleep, suddenly felt a pain in his neck. He instinctively patted it, muttering, "This damn place, there are even bugs here."
After saying that, she reached out and touched the man beside her.
The smooth skin filled him with a sense of satisfaction.
Then, I prepared to go back to sleep.
Gradually, I felt dizzy and tired. I tried to open my eyes but couldn't, and I opened my mouth but couldn't make a sound.
A sense of fear rose within me.
Someone wants to kill him.
And he was going to die.
Gradually, the hand that was resting on the man fell to the ground with a thud.
The man was half-lying down, already used to the old man's movements, and since he was feeling sleepy, he didn't notice the other person's movements at all.
The next moment, the Mediterranean old man received the same treatment as Bim, being dragged off the floor by Xiao Wei and becoming another master of hide-and-seek.
The entire process went unnoticed by anyone.
After doing all this, Xiao Wei flew to another destination.
With limited time, Xiao Wei could only follow Yang Xiaotao's instructions and prioritize the most important targets.
The sinister old man did not rest, but instead gave instructions to his subordinates.
"The more I think about it, the more something seems off. It's not normal for the target to come out today."
As he spoke, the sinister old man got up and walked around the room. The two team leaders in front of him looked at each other, both feeling that their boss was making a mountain out of a molehill.
What's wrong with going to a new place to travel and see the sights?
Isn't this normal?
When they arrive in a new place, they usually check it out and enjoy the scenery, let alone when the other party comes to a foreign country.
They just didn't dare to say it.
The sinister old man continued, "We've gotten to know a bit about the other party's temperament over the years."
"He's a man who values his life, definitely not the kind of reckless person!"
"Moreover, he has people around him who are responsible for his safety, so they won't let him come out like this."
"So, there's a conspiracy involved, there definitely is a conspiracy."
The sinister old man spoke with certainty, his unease growing ever more pronounced.
The two group leaders listened and looked at each other, seemingly finding some merit in what was said.
"Sir, should we go somewhere else?"
One of them offered a suggestion.
The sinister old man listened and pondered for a moment before nodding. "Immediately gather the men and move to the backup base."
"Yes!"
The two dared not be careless and immediately left to gather reinforcements.
After the two left, the sinister old man walked to the wardrobe, raised his hand to open it, and prepared to take out the clothes inside.
But the next second I felt a prick on my wrist.
The sinister old man frowned, took out his hand and looked at it. There was a tiny hole the size of a pinprick on his wrist. "Damn it."
As he spoke, everything went black.
After a short while, the two group leaders gathered their people and came outside the room to meet up with the elderly man.
However, there was no response when I knocked gently on the door.
The two waited for a moment, then pushed open the door and came in.
The house was empty; there was no one there.
The two looked at each other, both with doubt in their eyes.
Could it be that the superior officer has already left?
Finally, the two walked around the room to confirm that their superior had indeed left.
So he left the room and quickly led his men toward the backup base.
