Chapter 288: Final Work

Only after confirming that there was no longer any threat did Lin Yao come out.


Xu Jie covered his sister's eyes, urging her to leave obediently.


After all, such a scene is a bit too exciting for a young girl who is inexperienced in the ways of the world.


After seeing Xu Anni off, Xu Jie walked up to Colonel Card and said, "It's been a long time, Colonel Card. We meet again!"


"I really didn't know that you were the one doing business with me all along! You probably never intended to pay me for this deal, right? Otherwise, why would you use checks to stall for time?"


Hearing Xu Jie's mocking tone, Colonel Card's face turned quite ugly: "How did you know?"


Xu Jie said calmly, "Actually, I should have guessed it a long time ago, but I just never thought of you as the culprit."


Colonel Card said with a ferocious expression, "You're impressive, but soon everyone will know that this nuclear bomb will be in your hands! Then you can expect to be hunted down by the KGB and the CIA!"


Xu Jie laughed and said, "That's right, the nuclear bomb was already in my hands!"


As he spoke, Xu Jie took out the outer casing and navigation system of the nuclear bomb.


"This... how is this possible?" Card said in horror. "How did you do that?"


"I knew you'd come to Australia to keep watch over me, so of course I made some preparations!" Xu Jie said with a smile. "And don't worry, the KGB and CIA won't come after me; they'll come after you!"


"I've already sent the recording of your previous deal with your Middle Eastern buyer to the KGB headquarters in Moscow. Everyone will know that you stole the nuclear bomb!"


Card hadn't expected that the offensive and defensive positions would change so quickly.


The ups and downs of life are just too damn exciting.


Xu Jie continued, "And you'll vanish into thin air soon. If they can't find you, this nuclear bomb will just disappear without a trace!"


Card was immediately shocked: "You're also eyeing this nuclear bomb?"


"You don't need to know that. You didn't leave any last words, did you? Then just die!" Xu Jie said coldly.


"Wait, where's Natasha? Don't you miss her?" Colonel Card's eyes darted around, and he immediately said to Xu Jie.


At this moment, Lin Yao said calmly, "Don't worry, I will contact the KGB general and use your recording to exchange for Natasha's freedom!"


"You..." Colonel Card immediately understood: "Easterner, you're the one pulling all the strings behind the scenes!"


"Tsk, you only realize this now? Isn't it a bit too late?" Lin Yao said calmly. "Xu Jie, make your move!"


Xu Jie had wanted to kill that bastard Kade for a long time; the previous operation to control Natasha was orchestrated by him.


Therefore, Xu Jie hated him to the core.


So without saying a word, he pulled the trigger directly at Card's head.


Colonel Card's head was blown apart, and blood was splattered all over the ground.


However, Lin Yao dared not let his guard down when dealing with this kind of intelligence chief. After killing him, he shot him twice more on the corpse before leaving with his men.


……


Soon in Moscow, at the KGB headquarters.


The general at headquarters received a tape recording.


Upon hearing it, the general knew it was Colonel Card's voice, and his face immediately turned grim.


He immediately summoned his guards and asked, "Where did this come from?"


“It seems to be… Australia!” his subordinate said after thinking for a moment.


"Where is Card?" the general asked again.


His men reported truthfully: "Colonel Card has been out of contact for several days!"


The general was so angry that his breathing became rapid. Judging from the contents of the tape, it was almost certain that he was guilty.


However, the videotape abruptly ended at a crucial moment, clearly indicating that the other party wanted to negotiate terms.


Just as the general was thinking, the phone in front of him suddenly rang.


“General, a stranger has contacted us using our KGB’s proprietary contact method. He says he has given you the recording and wants to talk to you now!” a KGB agent said to the general.


The general thought for a moment and said, "Bring them in!"


"Hello, General!" an unfamiliar voice rang out.


After a moment of silence, the general asked, "Who are you? Where did you get the tape?"


"Of course, we overheard it ourselves!" Lin Yao said with a smile. "Sending you this part is just to show you our sincerity. This should be very important to your KGB, right?"


The general remained silent; this tape was indeed extremely important.


They uncovered the mole hidden deep within the KGB, which is a huge boon for the KGB.


If intelligence agencies are infiltrated, then we might as well give up.


The general didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Conditions!"


"Release Natasha!" Then another voice came from the other end of the phone.


However, the general recognized the voice: "Xu Jie, it's you!"    
“That’s right, General, it’s me!” Xu Jie said calmly. “The mastermind behind this whole thing, including the buyer of this satellite nuclear bomb that I created, is Card!”


"Why should I believe you?" the general said coldly. "You're a traitor!"


“I was never one of yours to begin with, so I can’t be called a traitor!” Xu Jie said irritably. “If it weren’t for that bastard Kade using despicable means to control Natasha, I wouldn’t have joined your KGB.”


"Now all you need to do is return Natasha to me, and I'll send you the rest of the tapes. Then you can go find Card!"


"This whole thing was caused by Card; it has nothing to do with me!"


The general thought for a moment and said, "Alright, how do we make the deal?"


"Just get Natasha on the plane to Australia. Once I confirm that Natasha has landed safely, I'll give you the tape. Anyway, it's useless to me!" Xu Jie said directly. "Besides, I've turned my back on the CIA and will no longer work for them, so you can rest assured!"


The general readily agreed: "Alright, I hope you won't go back on your word, otherwise I'll find you no matter where you hide and kill you!"


Xu Jie laughed and said, "Don't worry, I've long since lost interest in playing spy games!"


……


After hanging up the phone, Xu Jie asked Lin Yao with some concern, "Will this work?"


"It will definitely work!" Lin Yao said with certainty. "After all, having such a high-ranking traitor within the KGB is a huge deal for a general!"


"As for your little problem, it's not a problem for him at all!"


"Furthermore, I plan to send you to Southeast Asia to operate after you return. Once you're there, you only need to be careful of the CIA. The KGB's influence here is very weak."


Xu Jie nodded: "Indeed, that's one way!"


Xu Jie didn't have much of a grudge against the CIA; his betrayal was out of necessity.


The fact that the CIA only sent Agent Mark and Chen Jiaju to hunt him down shows that they were just taking a chance.


However, Xu Jie was somewhat curious: "What are you planning to do with that nuclear bomb?"


Lin Yao pointed to the map and said, "I plan to take over this place and then establish my own power."


"You're going to go abroad?" Xu Jie asked in surprise.


Lin Yao said calmly, "It's not that exaggerated. I have no intention of running a country. I just want to start a multinational company!"


"Do you need nuclear weapons to run a company?" Xu Jie's expression was somewhat strange.


"As a PMC company, it's perfectly reasonable for me to have my own military force, right?" Lin Yao spread his hands and said, "Besides, this thing is only for deterrence at most. What use is it now? It's just for scare people!"


Xu Jie gave Lin Yao a deep look: "Your ambition is indeed extraordinary!"


A few days later, at Sydney Airport, Australia.


A beautiful figure walked out of the exit.


The KGB general did indeed release Natasha as Xu Jie had instructed.


However, the KGB didn't say anyone couldn't follow.


As soon as Xu Jie got off the plane, he saw several agents following behind Natasha.


Xu Jie was immediately at a loss, while Lin Yao sneered: "I knew things wouldn't be that simple!"


"As expected of intelligence agents, they're all adept at saying one thing to your face and another behind your back!"


Seeing his lover right in front of him, Xu Jie said anxiously, "What do we do now?"


Lin Yao laughed and said, "Don't worry, just put on the headset and listen to my instructions. I'll help you get rid of these KGB agents!"


Xu Jie certainly wouldn't stand idly by, and immediately nodded.


Xu Jie, now disguised, quickly approached Natasha and whispered, "Natasha, we met in Lviv, at the Lviv Academy of Arts library!"


Natasha looked at the man who was both strange and familiar, and asked with some curiosity, "Who are you?"


"Don't say anything now, just follow me!" Xu Jie grabbed Natasha's hand and mingled into the crowd.


At this moment, Lin Yao threw down a sentry post to monitor the entire area, and from his elevated position, he told Xu Jie which way to go.


"Walk three hundred meters forward, then squat down with Natasha and pretend to tie your shoelaces!" Lin Yao chased after Xu Jie.


Xu Jie immediately complied, and just then he brushed past a KGB agent.


The other person was also bewildered when Natasha suddenly disappeared from their sight.


“Turn around, take ten steps back, and use the duty-free bag to cover your faces!” Lin Yao continued.


Xu Jie and Natasha picked up their bags and hugged each other like a couple shopping, thus avoiding the search of the two KGB officers.


"Finally, through Airport Gate C, change clothes! Put a headscarf on Natasha!" Lin Yaoxu continued.


Following Lin Yao's instructions, the two acted step by step and actually managed to walk out of the airport without alerting the KGB.


Of course, this was only because the airport had a large enough flow of people; otherwise, even if Lin Yao had extraordinary abilities, it would have been difficult for him to make use of them!
