679: Chapter Six Hundred and Seventy-One: Extreme Surprise 679: Chapter Six Hundred and Seventy-One: Extreme Surprise Medusa had placed a bug on herself, acting as a one-way communication device, while the remaining three were always silent.
Half an hour later, Ryan suddenly shouted, “Bug number four is activated, listen carefully!”
Frey immediately yelled, “I can hear something, footsteps.”
Shortly after, the sounds transmitted by the bug Medusa was wearing could be heard on the laptop.
“Can’t approach Grand Ivan, the bug can’t be placed, the internal situation has been clarified, please note, A1 point S40, A2 point S10, A3 point S20, B1 point IF2, B2 point H2, B4 point H2, key points unconfirmed, D, H2, i, unknown, over.”
As Medusa spoke, Ryan quickly wrote down on paper, and once Medusa said ‘over’, Ryan immediately said, “There are forty South African Special Forces inside the compound, twenty outside and inside the Consulate General building, two armed with rifles on guard inside, two armed with pistols at the entrance of the second-floor corridor, and two armed with pistols guarding the door of the room where Grand Ivan is held, with the situation inside the room being unknown.”
After quickly repeating this, Frey shouted, “I hear something on my end.”
Ryan quickly switched the primary monitored bug to number four, which was the one Frey heard noises from.
Hence, any sounds would now directly come from the computer, while the bug Medusa carried could only be heard by Gao Yang temporarily.
After a few footsteps, an impatient male voice hurriedly said, “When can the SEALs arrive?”
“Very soon, no more than half an hour, they are already on the way, they will be here soon, sir.”
“Good, once the SEALs arrive.
Damn, those South Africans keep wanting to withdraw their troops, and now the streets outside are full of that Russian guy’s men, I have no doubts they would break in, these damn Russians are capable of anything, and those South Africans protecting us are unreliable.”
“Sir, the Russians wouldn’t attack us, would they?
Are they insane?”
“Those damned Russians are madmen to begin with, F**k, our situation is dire, the ambassador has been pressuring the South African side, but they refuse to hand over the key witness to us, we must ensure not to be killed by those Russian’s men, that damn Russian has plenty of money, and those who want money aren’t afraid to die, tell our people not to let their guard down!”
“Yes, sir!
Sir, I have a question, are we just going to drag this out here?
The SEALs have arrived, why don’t we just move the cargo?”
“Do you think I want to stay here guarding the cargo?
The higher-ups want him alive!
Do you understand?
Alive!
Do you think that damn old man can move?
Sigh, we have come this far, as long as we can send the cargo back alive, we can get a promotion and pay raise, we might even receive some benefits, but if the action team brings back a dead one, then it’s worthless, hence we must send the cargo back intact.”
“Sir, do you want a cigarette?”
“Thanks, I quit a long time ago, oh no, give me one, thanks.”
“Sir, that Russian guy, is he really that powerful?
Is it possible for his men to attack our Consulate General?”
“Kevin, think about it, the intelligence team has been on him for three and a half years, the action team has developed countless plans all ultimately ending in bankruptcy, this guy is a big deal, a big deal!
Understand?
Believe me, if his men can’t rescue him, they will definitely choose to kill him, and the ones wanting to kill him include South Africans, his allies, if someone drives a truck in and blows us up, I wouldn’t be surprised at all.”
“Oh, sir, this really is, um, it seems we really got ourselves a rotten task!”
“F**k, the action team gets the glory, but we also get the mess when things go wrong, truly a rotten task, forget it, don’t complain, just do our job, don’t bother with the rest, we can’t manage it, as long as we send off the cargo, it’s none of our concern.”
“Sir, but the cargo can’t be moved, what do we do?”
“Once the SEALs arrive, perhaps it can be moved soon, continuing to store the cargo here is too risky, the action team will find a doctor to check on the cargo again, if it can be moved, it will be moved immediately, there’s massive pressure on the South African side now, our pressure is also intense, we can only take the risk.”
“Hope their action speeds up, you haven’t slept at all till now, sir, you should rest for a while.”
“Um, I will, I’ll just take a nap here, Kevin, I recommended Professor Barnard from the University of Cape Town’s Groote Schuur Hospital, you prepare a bit, if they confirm the plan is feasible, you might need to fetch Professor Barnard later, it might be until evening, the action team hasn’t made up their minds yet, but you should still prepare, better safe than sorry.”
“Yes, sir, I’ll go now.”
As a series of footsteps faded away, the conversation ended, and immediately after, Ryan shouted loudly, “This information is damn valuable, we need to get ahead and take control of Professor Barnard, notify Ivan to prepare the personnel, I’ll check Professor Barnard’s phone number!”
Extremely thrilled, the effect of installing the bugs was immediately visible and highly useful.
The only feeling Gao Yang had was that Grand Ivan’s fate was not yet sealed.
Uriyangko called Ivan, and Ryan also started searching on the computer.
Shortly, he picked up a phone, and once the call connected, Ryan casually said, “Hello, I have an appointment with Professor Barnard, yes, I am Mchale, our scheduled time was three in the afternoon, but I missed a call, I’m worried that Professor Barnard changed the meeting time, oh, that’s good, thank you.”
After hanging up the phone, Ryan urgently said, “Professor Barnard is in his office at the hospital, has an appointment at three in the afternoon, and will be there until six o’clock, go to Groote Schuur Hospital, take control of Professor Barnard, it will be of great use.”
Uriyangko worriedly said, “Kidnap?
We are not professionals at kidnapping, I’m worried it might leak.”
Gao Yang solemnly said, “They said they’re in a hurry to send Grand Ivan off, can we intercept them on the road?”
Ryan said, “Exactly, prepare for an interception on the road, but no matter what, we must be beside Professor Barnard, in case of any changes, take control of him!”
