Chapter 35: The Struggle for the Successors (29)
This meeting has been going on on and off for a long time. From this, it can really be seen that the old guy really attaches great importance to this matter. For now, at least, several of his key subordinates, with the exception of Kutcher, have been involved in the operation.
Semolov and Ivan came in and out of the conference room from time to time to report the progress to the old guy. Berezov and Zhao Yi and I discussed the issue of our cooperation with each other in the future. And in the old guy's opinion, this matter is still entrusted to me, and Berezov cooperates with me.
At this point, Berezov did not have much of an opinion. In his opinion, this matter is just a job entrusted to the security company by the 17th Bureau. And as a man of the seventeenth innings, his role is more like that of Rebic. That is, he is more like assisting Rebic than me.
I don't care what he thinks, as long as everyone cooperates well, it's fine. And I am also more comfortable with Berezov, he is a person who is almost eager for revenge like the old guy, and he will definitely not have any complaints and dissatisfaction in this operation because of his role.
We had dinner in the seventeenth round, and the old guy even brought out his treasured good wine and drank a few glasses with us. And at almost nine o'clock in the evening, Zhao Yi's phone rang. He pulled out his phone, looked at me, and the old guy said, "It's my Turkish friend's phone." ”
The old guy immediately said: "Maybe it was that Bodachev who called." Are you sure you have what to say? After seeing Zhao Yi nodded, he continued: "If it is Bodachev, you must be confident and honest. You don't have to speak fast, you can talk about it when you think about it. ”
"Understood!" Zhao Yi answered the phone after agreeing, and when he heard that voice, he immediately spoke: "I think you are already with Uncle Bodachev, right?" Okay, I know, I'm not going to talk some nonsense with him at this time. ”
Hearing Zhao Yi say this, I looked at the old guy and I looked at each other, obviously, this friend of Zhao Yi had successfully met Bodachev and had persuaded the other party to have the most preliminary telephone communication with Zhao Yi.
Just as Zhao Yi finished saying this, there was no sound on the other side of the phone, probably because his Turkish friend was handing over the phone to Bodachev. After a while, I saw Zhao Yi suddenly speak: "Good evening, Uncle Bodachev." I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late. No, no, no... Of course, I had this call because I wanted to contact you, so even if it was Marklev's call, it was because of my request. ”
I vaguely heard that after Zhao Yi said the opening remarks, the other party smiled. Then he said a series of words. Zhao Yi immediately said: "I'm not dead. But at the time, it should be said that it was a little bit worse. I was a little luckier and let me run away. Right.. Nicky wasn't like me. I've been eyeing Nikki for a long time, the one who betrayed us? For now, it's Milarov. Right... I've been on the track. Am I now? I'm in Ukraine now. As you may know, I have quite a few friends in Ukraine, and I can also say friends with Nicky. Milarov? Yes, something happened to him. Not only did something happen, he was dead. It's true. Of course, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you at this time, it's completely unnecessary, is it? Who did it? It's me, it's me who did it. Yes, and Dimitri. Helped you? Hehe, if that's the case, I'm very happy. But I have more important things to talk to you about. Threat? Of course not.. Do you think my tone and candid way now looks like a threat? No, of course not. What I'm going to talk to you about is not business, not what you do, it's survival. Not just your survival, but my own. Do you have a question about your survival? You naturally know what the problem is. Do you really want me to be so clear to you on the phone? Do you need it? To tell you the truth, I don't care right now about who controls Nicky's organization, or the power struggle between you and the others. All I care about right now is revenge and survival. I don't think you know what those two guys were in contact with and what they were doing, right? Now that the war has begun, neither you nor I can hide. I'm just a bachelor whose life is worthless, and you're a big family. It's not a threat, IMHO, if one day your family is unlucky, it's definitely not because of me. You should think about this. “
After Zhao Yi said to let the other party think about it, the phone fell silent, and Zhao Yi took the phone and listened. And the old guy gave Zhao Yi a thumbs up, signaling that he was right. At this moment, Zhao Yi suddenly took the phone in his ear, looked at us with a surprised face, and said, "He hung up the phone." “
"Huh? Hung up? Berezov and I were equally surprised to ask
"Is the signal broken? Do you want to go back in time? Berezov continued to ask.
I looked at the old guy, and saw that the old guy was stunned at first, then he leaned back in his chair, and after thinking for a moment, the old guy suddenly smiled and said, "It's nothing, don't worry." Let him think about it. Don't call him back, just wait and see. Judging from the situation you were chatting just now, he shouldn't have hung up so suddenly, in fact, I think he was somewhat tempted. Hanging up your phone is probably just trying to occupy a better position in the bargain later, and it is also to see your reaction to see if you have confidence. ”
At this moment, the door of the conference room rang twice and then opened again, and Semolov immediately looked at the old guy after entering the conference room and said, "The Bulgarian side has confirmed." This Popov is the Yanev we are looking for.
"Very good! This man's whereabouts are already in control? The old fellow asked.
Semolov nodded and said, "Got it." I've mustered all the best hands I can around him. Next door to his hotel room was our guy. ”
"Don't act rashly." The old guy immediately said, "This guy shouldn't be a simple person. Let your people be careful. Just keep an eye on him and know where he's going and what he's in contact with. Leave the rest alone. ”
"Yes. I understand. But when the man arrived in Ruse, he seemed to be waiting for someone. The hotel was scheduled for three days. Semolov said.
"Wait. See who he's going to wait for and who he's going to meet. The old guy stood up and walked around the conference table, "You'd better go yourself." Bring the right people with us, and we must not make mistakes this time. Staying here, waiting for everything to be reported there, there will inevitably be omissions. ”
"Yes! I'll go get ready right away. Semolov turned to leave.
"Wait." The old guy said, "After you go, contact Ivan and Rebic directly." You only see each other's coordination, and there is no need to report everything. Unless there is an emergency, it is good to report once a day, in the morning and in the evening. “
"Yes!" Semolov said yes and turned and went out.
