Locke continued to look at it, still looking like he was going to carry it to the end. The old guy smiled and pulled out a phone. I looked at the phone, it wasn't supposed to be ours, I hadn't seen it before.

"Mr. Locke. It's yours. The old guy said, opened the phone and looked at it, "Just now, when you were still unconscious, I went through your communication records without your permission. I have to say, you're a busy man. The old guy said and shook the phone in front of Locke's eyes, "In one day, you have made more than a dozen calls, answered a dozen calls, and there are as many as five or six numbers. I'm glad to see this, really. Hehe. You know why? The old guy looked at Locke, "It shows that you are really a very valuable person." You're not the one who calls the shots, but you're the mediator between the one who gives the call and the one below you. You must know a lot of things, know or meet a lot of people. Hehe. The old guy said and pointed to the phone, "I think among these calls... There must be the guy you pretend you don't know, right? There may be others who we have not found ... There should still be people from the Ukrainian side, Mr. Kutcher is here, so he must have contacted you with another person, right? And then below. Who else? The people on the Russian side, right? ”

Locke glanced at the old guy and sneered, "I have no idea what you're talking about." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to deny it, Mr. Locke. Be careful, there are only numbers on it and no notes. That's all I have to ask you. And if you are attacked there, you lose contact, and these numbers will probably be discontinued. It doesn't make much sense now. ”

"Huh. You should have already beaten it, right? Ha ha. Locke laughed.

The old guy shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's true. I did fight. None of them can be connected, and these people's reactions are too fast. ”

Locke heard the old fellow say this, and smiled gloatingly. The old guy laughed as well, "But it also shows that you're important, hehe." There's another thing I don't know if you've known before, Mr. Locke. The old guy said and glanced at Kutcher on the side, and then said: "I got the news that the Ukrainian side has always kept a hand on you. How so? To put it simply, after you have done what you have to do, they are going to get rid of you. ”

Locke heard the old guy say this, glanced at Kutcher not far away, and said, "This can clear themselves, right?" ”

"Are you aware of that?" The old guy asked.

Locke sneered again, "This is Ukraine after all. We are not safer than you in comparison. Locke said and glanced at the old guy, and it was obvious that the "you" in this sentence were referring to the seventeen rounds represented by the old guy.

"Huh. Does that mean you have a way to deal with it? The old fellow asked.

"Maybe. Who knows? Hehe. Locke said indifferently.

Just as the old guy was about to speak again, the phone he was carrying rang. The old guy took out the phone and looked at it, his expression immediately changed, and then he got up from his chair and looked at Locke and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Locke." My answer to the phone. Honestly, you should really think about talking to me, after all, not everyone is like me. The old fellow walked out of the room and answered the phone.

I glanced at Kutcher in the room, Locke and Semolov. The three of them looked different, and Kutcher looked very relaxed, like it didn't matter if he had broken a jar. And what about Locke? After the old guy left, he looked much more solemn. It seems that he was deliberately confronting the old guy before, pretending to be open-minded, at least trying not to lose in momentum. Finally, there was our helper Semolov, a guy who looked confident and determined to win, and looked at Locke with an expression that didn't look like he was looking at a person.

After a few moments, the old man opened the door, looked at me and Semolov, and said, "You two come with me." ”

After leaving the room, Semolov and I went to the old guy and Yashin's room. The old guy closed the door and said, "I just received the news. Our opponents will have a meeting soon. ”

"Meeting?" I asked, "How many people are these parties meeting?" NATO's, Ukraine's, and Russia's

S's? ”

"That's pretty much it." The old guy nodded.

Semolov immediately looked excited when he heard this, "When?" ”

"It should be today." The old guy said and smiled, "After all, the people we met had to rush over, didn't they?" ”

"What do you mean?" As if realizing something, Semolov asked eagerly, "Zakhaev?" He wants to come by himself? ”

"Huh. Maybe. The old guy smiled, "That guy from Ukraine is definitely coming." Intelligence said that this meeting was made by the guy from Ukraine and strongly requested. I guess it feels like the whole situation is getting out of control. After all, Locke is sure to have been captured alive by us if he has lost contact and has no entity, which is a great threat to them. ”

"So they can't sit still? Ready to go directly to the work yourself? I spoke.

The old guy smiled and nodded, "Almost." And that's not all. The escape after that will have to be discussed. ”

"So what are we going to do? Is this information accurate? Semolov asked eagerly.

The old fellow glanced at him and said, "The one who sent you here is the one who provided the information. Reliable or unreliable, accurate and inaccurate information, do you think? ”

"Uhh Semolov was choked up by the old guy's words, and he didn't say anything.

The old guy sneered and said, "Semolov, figure out what you're doing here." Is it listening to you or to me? If you don't figure out the situation, you can get out of the way, but you will be responsible for the delays and losses caused later, understand? ”

Semolov was stunned for a moment by what the old guy said before he nodded and said, "Understood." ”

"Really understood? I'll repeat it again. My relationship with you is not at the same level, and it is not fucking cooperation. It's a superior, I'm a superior, you're a subordinate. If it's not clear, call back to confirm immediately, and if it breaks my business, I won't report it first and wait for the decision, I'll take care of everything myself. Clear? ”

"Clear. Clear. Semolov nodded. But that's obviously holding back his anger.

"Huh. Don't be upset. Think about what you're going to do. If you do it this time, you won't have to explain what it means to you, right? So do it. The old guy said.

I glanced at Semolov, this guy is obviously very utilitarian, and the old guy's words are obviously very effective. Semolov's expression and momentum softened.

"So we're going to do it before tomorrow? At their meeting? I asked.
