Chapter 022: Insider Trading
After a long flight, Group B arrived at the secret contact point of Colombian intelligence services in BogotΓ‘, following the location provided by Daniel.
The contact point is located in the district of LaSoledad, and the whole building looks like an ordinary European-style double-storey building from the outside, with no features, but the final signal of Ali's mobile phone is indeed coming from here.
Yang Fan was observing the situation at the contact point, and his satellite phone rang, and it was Anna calling.
After connecting the phone, Yang Fan finally heard Anna's familiar voice: "Yang Fan, you should have arrived in BogotΓ‘, right?" β
"Yes, we have arrived at the target location and are preparing for a surprise attack!"
Anna continued: "Yang Fan. We have no control over the monitoring near the point of contact, and we can't provide you with any support.
But there's one thing you need to pay attention to! It stands to reason that if Ali's mobile phone were in the hands of Colombian intelligence, we should not be able to locate it so easily. I thought that the BogotΓ‘ intelligence services did not pay much attention to this matter, or were negligent, but judging by the protective measures of the contact point, it should not be like this. β
"You mean they mean to bring us here? But...... The defenses here don't seem to be as tight as you say! β
Anna paused and continued, "It's hard to judge right now. However, even if they deliberately bring you here, it is not necessarily to be against you, and it may be necessary to cooperate with you. β
"Cooperation?"
"It's possible. Graduation Columbia must know your relationship with Daniela and Ali, they won't go to war with T3 easily, I judge that this time they are very likely to have a mission for Daniela and Ali to do, and now they have a problem. So, Colombia's intelligence services are deliberately trying to lure you there. β
"Okay, I got it. Now that I'm here, I'm going to go in anyway. β
"I understand, be careful! Yang Fan, don't be impulsive, your mission is to rescue Ali and Daniela! β
"Okay, I got it!"
After hanging up the phone, Yang Fan said: "Mockingbird analyzes that there is no danger for us to go in, and the Colombian intelligence department may need Death and Swallowtail Butterfly to help them do things, and now they are in trouble and deliberately lure us here." β
"I agree with Robin's analysis." Natalie said, "An intelligence organization that doesn't want us to discover the Grim Reaper's trail could hide everything about him. We were able to locate his phone so easily, and it was an intermittent signal, most likely deliberately intended to expose it to me. β
"We're going to go in anyway, it's the only clue that death has left us." Bruce said.
"That's right! But we also have to be careful! Yang Fan said: "Sizz, Peter Pan, Fire Rose and I will go in, and the rest will be on guard on the perimeter, ready to meet us at any time!" Hurricane, the outside is up to you! β
"Okay, you four be careful." Sokolov said.
Yang Fan looked at the surveillance above his head and said: "Even the horns and goblins can't control the monitoring here, it seems that their information defense must be very tight, and we can only break in." β
Bruce grabbed his P226 pistol and said, "Then we'll go hard!" It's a big deal that we will withdraw again, there is no ambush around here, and I believe that the people inside will definitely not be able to keep us. β
Yang Fan nodded and said softly: "Okay, let's act!" β
Bruce and Natalie were in front, Yang Fan and Kevin were behind, and the four of them quickly came to the door of the first floor of the building, hiding on both sides of the door.
Bruce tried to push it slightly, the door was locked, and he took out his lockpicking tool and opened it with ease.
He gently pushed the door open a crack and looked inside. He nodded to the three of them, signaling that they could enter.
Bruce gently pushed the door open, and he and Natalie entered first, followed by Yang Fan and Kevin.
None of the four of them noticed any threat in the room, and the entire first floor was a large living room, with all the windows in the living room closed, and the dark curtains also separated the inside and outside of the room, and the people outside could not see the inside at all.
The living room is specially furnished, there is no extra furniture except for a set of sofas and a coffee table. The entire living room on the first floor is full of computers, and there are strings of characters dancing on two computer screens.
Natalie and Bruce looked in the first-floor living room and a separate bedroom, and neither found anyone. The four men went up the stairs to the second floor, where there was a living room in the middle of the second floor, and then there were four separate bedrooms.
Kevin said softly: "The situation is not right, since the computers are still on, how can there be no one?" β
"Boss, I think we'd better get out first, it feels like a trap set by someone else." Natalie said.
"Yes, Boss. With so much surveillance here, the other side must have seen our actions. We don't need to stay here any longer! Bruce said.
"Okay, let's get out!"
The four men withdrew from the building, and no anomalies were observed in the process of entering or exiting. After meeting up with the people in Group B, they contacted Anna and Daniel, both of whom did not understand each other's intentions.
Yang Fan had no other way, this was their only clue, everyone could only find a relatively safe place to live for the time being, and come here every day to check the situation.
Two days passed, and they didn't get anything.
Until the third day, Yang Fan and the four of them still entered the first floor in the original way, they still didn't find anyone, just when they wanted to go up to the second floor, Yang Fan heard a movement at the staircase on the second floor.
He immediately turned his gun and aimed it at the staircase, and said in a deep voice, "What person?" Let me see that you're not threatening, otherwiseβ"
"Otherwise, we'll be the unlucky ones to die under the blue ghost gun!" A man's voice came from the stairs on the second floor, and the other three turned their guns around and aimed at the position.
The man continued: "Don't be nervous, we know who you are and we know that you will come sooner or later. We are colleagues of Swallowtail Butterfly, waiting for you here. There were only two of us, and neither of us was armed. Now, we're coming down! β
After speaking, two men walked down from the staircase on the second floor, both of them were wearing black suits, the person in front was a little older, about forty years old, and the person in the back was about thirty years old, both of them were of medium stature, and they were also very ordinary in appearance.
The two raised their hands and walked down the stairs to the living room on the first floor, standing in front of Yang Fan and the others.
The older man said, "You must be from the SK-B team, my name is Nelson, and I'm the head of the Colombian intelligence service. In the back was my colleague Victor, and we were in a small group with Daniela. β
"You brought us here on purpose?" Yang Fan still looked at the two of them vigilantly.
"That's right! You can understand it that way! β
"Where are Daniela and our friends now?" Yang Fan asked directly.
Nelson said, "I can tell you, but before that, can we put our hands down first?" You should be able to tell that we have no ill will towards you. β
Yang Fan thought about it and put away the gun, and Kevin and the three of them also put away the gun.
Nelson put his hand down, walked up to Yang Fan, stretched out his hand and said, "You must be the captain of Group B, Blue Ghost!" Is that right? β
Yang Fan just nodded slightly, and did not shake his hand, Nelson naturally changed the handshake posture to a guiding posture, pointed to the sofa and said, "Let's sit down and talk." β
With that, he and Victor sat down on the couch first.
Yang Fan and Kevin sat opposite them, Bruce and Natalie did not sit down, they stood behind Yang Fan and Kevin, their hands on their waists.
"Can you say it now?" Yang Fan asked in a deep voice.
"Okay, Swallowtail and your friend Death are on a mission for us right now?"
"What task?"
Nelson smiled faintly and said, "Swallowtail Butterfly is the best agent we've ever produced, but she's always wanted to leave. As you know, it takes a lot of resources and time for us to train an agent, and she's one of the best among us. So ......"
"Mr. Nelson, please get to the point!" Yang Fan reminded with some impatience.
"Okay. Our director agreed to her request, and although she has done a lot for the Intelligence Bureau over the years, she still needs to complete one last task if she wants to leave.
She wants to get rid of all the people who might reveal her identity, and then promise not to reveal the secrets of the intelligence agency, and then she can leave. It was her last assignment, and it was a deal she made with the Director. β
"And who are you going to deal with?"
Nelson said calmly: "It's all some people who have crossed paths with her before, intelligence officers, gang leaders, politicians and drug lords, a total of 7 people." Frankly, it's not that simple! So, she found her most trusted helper, your friend Death.
I have to say, the Grim Reaper is really powerful! In two months, they have already killed six of them. In order not to worry you, the Grim Reaper put his phone with me and told me to contact you on time to say that he was doing well. β
"Where are they now? Assassinating the 7th man? Kevin asked in a deep voice.
"That's right!" "Their last target is Culmar, who is a retired drug lord," Nelson said. But how is it possible to retire as a drug lord.
You once helped Carlos take out a drug lord named Ugo in Mexico, but he was behind Kurmar's backing. We can't afford to let such a person enjoy his retirement, and that task is the responsibility of Swallowtail Butterfly. Therefore, it is up to the swallowtail butterfly to end this task in person. β
"How's the mission going?" Kevin continued.
"Swallowtail Butterfly and Death set off five days ago, and they've already taken out Kurma. After his retirement, Kurmar lived on a 300-hectare estate 174 kilometres from central MedellΓn, which was well guarded, but not too difficult for swallowtails and deaths.
But the strange thing is that there have been a lot of unidentified weapons there recently, and the swallowtail butterfly and the Grim Reaper should be trapped inside. β
Yang Fan clenched his fists, tried his best to control his emotions, and said in a deep voice: "It's been five days, since you know that they are in trouble, why don't you save them?" For so long, it's likely they've been-"
Nelson waved his hand and said, "No! I also received a message about their location last night, which proves that they are safe for the time being. When Swallowtail Butterfly set off, we had an agreement that if they were in danger, they would wait at an evacuation point, and I would arrange for someone to rescue him! β
"If that's the case, then why don't you send someone to save it?" Yang Fan asked.
Nelson sighed and said, "Hey, our superiors don't think it's worth the risk, if we reveal our identity, it will cause a big incident in the country!" That's something that no one can afford.
So the Intelligence Bureau will not send people to the rescue. The superiors have already deleted Daniela's records, and even if he and the Grim Reaper are caught, they won't implicate the intelligence agency, so ......"
"So you watch them fend for themselves!"
Yang Fan looked at Nelson viciously and asked sharply, "Since you are not willing to do it, why don't you contact us directly?" That way, we might have been able to get there sooner! β
Nelson said with a serious face: "I have an agreement with Swallowtail Butterfly to let her last for five days. If we haven't rushed to rescue her in five days, then the intelligence bureau has ...... Abandon them.
The Intelligence Bureau doesn't want to have anything to do with this, but Swallowtail Butterfly is our colleague, and I can't bear to see her die for nothing. Blue Ghost, if you don't arrive today, I'll contact you tomorrow!
This point of contact has been deprecated, and Victor and I only come here every once in a while to get in touch with you.
You didn't disappoint me, I thought you would sneak here at night, but I didn't expect you to arrive during the day, which shows that you care about swallowtail butterflies and your friends. It's a blessing to have teammates and friends like you! β
Yang Fan stretched out his hand to stop Nelson, and directly interrupted: "Then today is the last day, don't talk this nonsense again!" Tell me where you agreed, and we'll be off right away! β
Nelson waved his hand and said, "I'll give you the location, and I'll send you there!" β
"Send us?"
"Yes, I already knew about it the first day you were here. But Kurma's manor is heavily guarded, and to save your time, I'm going to let you infiltrate by parachuting.
In the past three days, I have been going to contact the military and prepare planes for you! In an hour, someone will pick you up from your accommodation! But...... It's up to you to retreat! β
"Okay, we'll do it ourselves!"
Nelson nodded and said to Victor beside him, "Give them the location and map." β
Victor agreed, then handed Kevin a location tracking device and a floor plan, and said, "I want to warn you that Culmar's manor is still well guarded, drones cannot be used, and the instant messaging system will be interfered with!" This is a floor plan of the estate, and you should need it! β
"Thank you!" After Kevin's results located the tracking device and the floor plan, the two stood up, and were about to turn to leave, Yang Fan stopped again, turned his head to look at Nelson and Victor, and said sharply: "We will rescue the swallowtail butterfly and the Grim Reaper, and I also hope that the intelligence bureau can keep its promise." If you can't, we in Group B won't let you go.
We may not be able to confront one country, but please tell your superiors that we will not let go of either of you and her and her family! β
Nelson also stood up and said, "Rest assured, our promises will be kept." Once you've rescued them, you can leave Colombia without anyone stopping you and no one bothering you with swallowtails.
We know your T3 background, and we know your Group B strength and style. Don't worry, we won't offend you for Daniela alone, let alone the forces behind you! β
Yang Fan nodded, and the four of them left the building together.
After returning to his residence, Yang Fan told everyone about the situation. Although the situation was critical, at least knowing the whereabouts of Death and Danilad, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly packed their equipment.
Half an hour later, four military SUVs pulled up at the door of their quarters, and after a brief negotiation, the men of Group B got into the car.
The cars came to a makeshift airfield, where a military transport plane was already waiting for them.
