Chapter 38: Doubts

London, Victorian Quarter, Fox Cross upon Thames, Vauxhall.Bridge (Wardlordshall Bridge, Regent Bridge).

The River Thames is only 48 kilometres long, but it is the veritable mother river of the United Kingdom. The development and rise and fall of England are all related to Thailand

The Thames are intimately linked. This river, which records the complex and tortuous history of London, has not only experienced the rise and fall of the British Empire, but also witnessed its changes from prosperity to decline, and retained the rich cultural heritage of Britain. In 1929, John Brown, a member of the British Parliament? Burns famously said, "The St. Louis is water, the Mississippi is mud, and the Thames is the history of flowing." โ€

Bridges are indispensable to all rivers that thrive, especially in London, where the Thames flows through the city, and bridges are indispensable to the life and development of London. The Regent Bridge is not the most famous of them all, nor the oldest, but at the head of the bridge stands a special building โ€“ the MI6 headquarters building.

Designed by renowned designer Terry Farrah, this characterful building has become a major London landmark and perhaps the most recognizable headquarters of the intelligence agency. The costly building, as expected, was built like a fortress and was strong enough to withstand a high-intensity terrorist attack. At the same time, security cameras and special bulletproof walls are installed inside and outside, and its special three-layer glass structure is more resistant to eavesdropping and electronic interference.

Meeting room on the third basement floor. Including Colin Federer and Gloria? There were four people sitting in front of Hill, and on the projection screen in front of them, a large photo of Li Jie smiling for an interview was hanging.

"This Bruce? Lee's words are not very credible, and I still suggest that he be brought back for interrogation. "It's Colin who speaks? Federer, the elite agent, had no gentlemanly smile on his face at all. The expression is serious, the eyes are cold, and the light is dancing.

"The people who carried out the attack were absolutely top-notch and very well equipped, but the vast majority of them died from non-gunshot wounds. And our surveyors took at least three samples of blood and DNA from at least three people at that bulletproof door, I don't know anyone who could use this door weighing more than 100 kilograms as a weapon? And the mercenary loaded with an exoskeleton, who was killed with one shot after all his limbs were removed, and hand-to-hand combat can defeat the kinetic exoskeleton? At the same time, the helicopter, which has burned out, is clearly related to them, according to the test of explosives and residues. The explosion was supposed to have occurred from the inside, and only then crashed. "Gloria? Hill pressed the control button in his hand as he continued to supplement the information he had gathered. Yesterday they first surveyed the ambush site for nearly five hours, digging almost three feet into the ground, convinced that they had not missed a single clue. After that, he rushed back to London overnight to talk to Li Jie and them.

"We all know there must be a problem hereโ€”why did this ambush happen, and how did they wipe out the ambush side? There are a lot of twists and turns. But unfortunately, this is what the US Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defense and some other big figures are all negotiating with us. Obviously, the boss finally decided to cover the matter, and I've confirmed that, given that the attack was not directed at us. There were no casualties among the subjects of the British Empire, and the investigation into the case was put on hold for the time being. "Sitting in the centre is an old man with gray hair, who looks as ordinary as the well-dressed old gentlemen on the streets of London. But the intonation and rhythm of his speech are so peculiar that it's hard to ignore. And the respectful attitude of Gloria and others towards him can also fully explain his status and identity.

This is obviously the relationship that Li Jie has spent countless money and energy to build has played a role, and of course, there is also the efforts of the Black Nest as the initiator of the attack. They are equally reluctant to make a big deal out of it. Otherwise, even if Li Jie is a well-known super-rich man. Mi6 also had every reason to bring him back for interrogation, instead of being routine and gently letting it go as it is now.

"There must be very important value in this Li Jie. I've seen it, and the attack completely dodged the car he was hiding in, apparently not just trying to make him disappear. Colin looked at the crowd and redrew a horizontal line on the information in his hand.

"Now that the decision has been made, we must carry it out, so be it. Don't contact each other for a while, and continue to pay attention to a certain extent to see if there will be any unexpected surprises. The old man dropped a faint sentence, then got up and left his seat, smoothed his suit and walked out.

Colin and Gloria glanced at each other, apparently understanding his subtext and not really letting Bruce go? Li, it's just that they have turned to covert surveillance, and they can't do this kind of thing at the best. Also got up to pack up her things and prepare to leave, at this time the communicator in Gloria's ear rang, she connected and talked to the other party for a few words, and then closed it, with a strange look on her face.

Colin noticed her unusual expression and stopped with some confusion: "What's wrong?" Got news? โ€

"Just got a tip, Bruce? Lee refused the protection offered by the police, and he was going to a concert tonight. Gloria rubbed her brow lightly with her fingertips, she hadn't closed her eyes for nearly 30 hours, and even though it was a common thing, she was inevitably tired.

"Concert?! What a mess, is he a guest? There is no information in this regard. Colin clearly didn't understand what she meant, and was equally puzzled.

"No, he's going to a concert, Taylor? Swift, that American singer's world tour, tonight at O2, you don't know? Gloria was also surprised, but she was clearly more familiar with it than her partner, as she continued.

"You know I've never cared about that, hmph, it looks like this guy is really a playboy......" Colin had a look of disdain on his face, obviously remembering Li Jie's lace scandals flying all over the sky.

"I think he's more fearless, not afraid of the other party's attack at all." Gloria shook her head, a look of confusion, things couldn't be that simple. She doesn't think that Li Jie is such a stupid person, after just experiencing such a terrorist attack, he actually swaggered to go to the concert? Just to pick up girls? There must be something they haven't learned about the reason yet.

The two walked out of the conference room while talking, and the photos on the projection screen were still fixed on Li Jie's attentive listening. (To be continued)
