Chapter 0803: A Trip to Slovakia
Under Jackson's arrangement, Su Tao arrived in Slovakia and met Lin Yifu, who was still the same as a literati before, wearing glasses, a white shirt and a silver-gray Western-style vest, looking personable, like a professor in a university in the twenties and thirties of the last century.
He owned a small manor here, where he usually lived for three or four months a year, so he hired more than a dozen subordinates.
The study is relatively clean and elegant, with bonsai in the corner and calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
Lin Yifu was carrying a copper-colored watering can and was watering the bonsai.
Lin Yifu is in his fifties, well-maintained, his hair is dyed black, and his bearing is modest, it is difficult for people to imagine that this is an internationally famous godfather-level figure.
Lin Yifu doesn't like the title of godfather, he prefers others to think of him as a businessman.
He has worked on a wide range of projects, not only in retail, shopping malls, but also in arms and equipment.
So wherever he goes, Lin Yifu is treated with special respect.
Outside the door walked in a pretty beautiful woman with a tray in her hand and two bowls of soup on it.
Lin Yifu said with a smile: "Eat a little, this is my favorite white fungus lotus seed soup, every time I eat this, I feel very happy, and I miss the taste of my mother's handmade when I was a child." ”
Su Tao didn't refuse, took the spoon, took a big bite, and said with a smile: "The taste is indeed very good, but it is a little sweeter." Your body is healthy, but it's better to have less sweets. ”
When Lin Yifu saw Su Tao say this, of course he had to take it seriously, if he was someone else, it could be regarded as a verbal concern, but Su Tao was a powerful Chinese medicine doctor, since he said that he should eat less, of course he had to pay attention to proportion.
"Your eyesight is really good, I just finished a physical examination a few days ago, and I said that my blood sugar is a little high. Lin Yifu smiled helplessly, "When people are old, it is troublesome, and even eating something must have many taboos." ”
Su Tao hurriedly smiled and said, "It's okay to eat it once in a while!" He paused, "Wait a minute, I'll prescribe a prescription for you, drink it once a week, it's good for lowering blood sugar." ”
After speaking, he took out a pen and paper from the medical box, leaving an ancient prescription for lowering blood sugar.
Lin Yifu has a relatively easy-going personality and has no shelves, he took the ancient recipe from Su Tao's hand, looked at it, and carefully stored it in the drawer of the table, it can be seen from this detail that Lin Yifu still attaches great importance to Su Tao.
"I wanted you to treat a friend of mine, but I didn't expect you to treat me first. Lin Yifu said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I'm sick of an occupational disease. Su Tao shook his head and smiled modestly, "When will I see your friend?"
Lin Yifu waved his hand and said, "You are new to the city, so you should rest first." This patient, the situation is quite special, and it is a little troublesome to arrange, and I hope you can keep it secret......"
Su Tao nodded, feeling that there was something strange in it.
However, Lin Yifu has helped him a lot, and since he has asked for something, it is not easy to refuse.
In addition, Su Tao is also for Vera.
Vera's father, Ormond, was not very optimistic about Su Tao and hindered the development of the two, while Lin Yifu was on his side, and Lin Yifu was still very helpful to him in the future for continuing to maintain contact with Vera.
Autumn night sky, crescent moon like a hook.
Su Tao and Lin Yifu chatted in the courtyard for half a night, and the two talked about the past and the present, and unconsciously chatted for so long, which made Lin Yifu feel extremely surprised.
Because Lin Yifu didn't expect that he would talk so much to a young man who was nearly 30 years younger than himself, from the perspective of hobbies and experience, Su Tao knew a little bit about everything, and his words were humorous, so he wouldn't feel bored at all when chatting.
……
The next day, Su Tao said hello to Lin Yifu and went to a small town in the southern suburbs of the capital Bratislava alone.
Slovakia has held many special forces competitions and is known as the "country of mercenaries", so the country hides secrets everywhere.
As a special organization, Beacon has had many personnel who have emerged in the special forces competition, and there have been many secret strongholds of Beacon in this country. This is a nondescript and dilapidated house, built at least more than fifty years ago, with lime peeling and vines climbing on the walls, a bit eerie, at first glance I thought it was a scene from a foreign horror movie.
Not long after Su Tao approached, he felt a feeling of being watched, he walked to the painted iron door, gently rang the old-fashioned doorbell, and not long after, a slot in the middle of the door was pulled open, revealing a pair of sharp eyes, and asked in the local language: "Who are you?"
Su Tao's appearance makes the other party suspicious, and he will be mistaken for an Asian traveler who has come to a foreign country alone.
Su Tao couldn't understand what the other party was saying, he untied his collar and took out the symbol symbolizing the beacon fire, the other party's eyes were a little surprised, and he shouted while opening the door: "My own people, don't hurt him." ”
Su Tao walked into the city, and the door was quickly closed.
Su Tao saw clearly the face of the person who opened the door just now, he was a yellow man, about 1.75 meters tall, with a strong body and tanned skin.
"You're an iron thorn!" Su Tao had seen his information.
Iron Thorn nodded and said, "That's right, you are Su Tao?"
Su Tao knew that Iron Thorn had also gotten the news, so he smiled and asked directly, "I want to know about the whereabouts of Liu Jianwei and Yuan Lan now." ”
"They only replenished some equipment here and never came back. "However, from what I've heard, they may not be in good shape. ”
"Oh, what's wrong?" asked Su Tao with a frown.
"The target has appeared once recently, in a primeval forest located in the south-central region. The situation there is very complicated, known as the grave of special forces, and a large number of soldiers die there every year. Because there are many masters and mercenaries, if you want to survive there, you must rely on your own strength. "It's hard to complete the task in that harsh environment." ”
Su Tao understood the meaning of the iron thorn, Ying Xiong is now hiding in that primeval forest, as long as he is willing to spend money, there will be a large number of people who will work for him.
Originally, the living environment there was very severe, and there was no shortage of masters around Ying Xiong, so the probability that Yuan Lan and Liu Jianwei could succeed was very low.
After getting the news, Su Tao sighed secretly, not only a little worried about the safety of Liu Jianwei and Yuan Lan.
However, there is not much way to do it now, and now that I am abroad, I don't have enough resources around me like in Huaxia.
As for his acquaintance with Lin Yifu, it is not easy to ask for help, because Yuan Lan and Liu Jianwei are on a secret mission, if Lin Yifu uses his connections to investigate the whereabouts of the two in a big way, wouldn't it be a surprise and increase the difficulty for Yuan Lan and Liu Jianwei?
Iron Thorn took Su Tao to meet the other two people in this stronghold, both of whom were young men in their twenties, and there were many such people in the Beacon Organization, lurking in various countries around the world in a low-key manner.
Beacon's network tentacles cover a very small area, not only to cooperate with some special tasks, but also to collect intelligence from various countries.
Su Tao had slowly come into contact with the true face of the beacon fire, and he was still quite shocked in his heart, because the scale was larger than he imagined. However, it is precisely because of such a group of fighters lurking in the shadows and using their lives as bargaining chips that the country can ensure stable development and not be at a disadvantage in international competition.
Su Tao learned about the specific situation in Slovakia with Tie Thorn and others before leaving again.
The result of this trip was not too good, because he didn't get the whereabouts of Yuan Lan and Liu Jianwei, and there was more haze in his heart.
……
Dressed in a camouflage uniform, Ying Xiong sits in a simple wooden house, opposite its owner, Tomovich, whom the mercenaries call a general, and his loyal henchmen. The three of them were playing poker, and Ying Xiong's poker skills were higher than the two, but he deliberately lost several rounds.
Tomovich liked this guest very much, because he was more generous, and during this time, Ying Xiong won almost 300,000 euros from the table alone.
"Don't play!" Ying Xiong opened his wallet and said helplessly, "I've been squeezed dry by you today." ”
Tomovich happily patted Ying Xiong on the shoulder, "My friend, don't you often say that money is something outside the body?"
"But losing money is a terrible thing. Ying Xiong pretended to be aggrieved and shook his head.
"Then I'll tell you something happy!" Tomovich winked at Yingxiong, "Come with me, you should be in a relaxed mood when you see this." ”
Under the guidance of Tomovich, Ying Xiong came to a room dozens of meters away, where dozens of LCD screens were placed, on which portraits appeared.
Ying Zhi knows that this is the monitoring room of the mercenary group, and he can know every move around the base, and even a fly can't escape this Tianyan system.
Tomovich manipulated the keyboard and said, "Let you see these two people!"
Ying Xiong squinted his eyes and looked over, secretly surprised in his heart, he had an impression of Yuan Lan and Liu Jianwei, they had invaded their mansion at the beginning, although they did not succeed in getting the real anti-poison potion, but they also caused a lot of trouble for themselves.
"It's them!" Ying Xiong said through gritted teeth, his source was accurate, although Huaxia sent himself abroad, he did not forgive him for the crimes he had committed.
"These two people have a strong sense of anti-detection, so we didn't find much impact. But to be expected, they are already close here. If you solve them, you can rest easy. Tomovich smiled confidently.
Although the Sky Eye system is airtight, it is like a decoration for experienced people.
"I didn't expect them to be so self-conscious!" Ying Xiong said coldly.
He is tired of life in the jungle, and although he lacks nothing, Ying Xiong always feels that the city is more suitable for him.
He originally planned to live in this mercenary base for a year or two, and when the outside world forgot about him, he would change his identity and re-enter the official stage.
But I didn't expect the Huaxia government to arrange for someone to pursue themselves.
"If we kill them, the Huaxia government should know the difficulties and retreat, right?" Ying Xiong thought silently with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
