Chapter 156 Encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao
Chapter 156 Encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao
It’s hard to say what the mentality of the new member Li Jie is, but Gao Yi, who got the new toy, was having fun with it like crazy.
As for Khaled, I'm sorry, Gao Yi really can't do anything about it.
Even if he couldn't rescue his eldest brother, and didn't dare to intervene in Saudi Arabia's internal struggles, Gao Yi still kept a close eye on Khaled.
Khaled doesn't seem to have any serious problems and he won't die, but he will definitely lose money, and he might even suffer serious injuries, because judging from the information disclosed publicly now, Shaman has a big appetite.
Not to mention that Faisali’s property is out of the question now, Khaled’s own wealth will at least shrink by half.
At least half, and the situation will only get worse, not better.
Gao Yi was quite open-minded about this. After all, a fortune of $10 billion could not be spent, and a fortune of $5 billion could not be spent either. Even if it was a little less, leaving only $1 billion or $8 billion, it would still not be spent.
Money is something outside of one's body. You can't spend it all in a lifetime. What's the point of having more?
But Gao Yi had been in Dallas for seven or eight days. Today, just after he and his friends had happily finished shooting, he received a call from Greens.
To keep an eye on Khaled, it is not enough to just read the news, because the news will not specifically point out Khaled's situation. However, Gao Yi can get information beyond the news by asking Greens to ask his colleagues in Saudi Arabia to keep paying close attention to Khaled and have Greens pass on any news.
"Khaled's condition is not good. He may be shot."
This news made Gao Yi anxious when he heard it.
We have been spending several days in peace, how come the first news we get is something like this that could cost our lives?
Gao Yi whispered, "What's going on?"
"Khaled was the first to be arrested, and he organized many people to fight against Shaman, which means he was the leader. Now two important allies of Khaled, who were also the first to be arrested with him, were shot today. Khaled has always refused to give in and has always refused to agree to Shaman's demands. His attitude has influenced many people, so Shaman is likely to kill him to open up the situation."
It means killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
No, this is not simply killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, it should be shooting the bird that sticks out. In terms of wealth and status, Haled is the best among the people arrested. If he dies, the rest of the people will probably have to surrender and be willing to hand over most of their wealth.
Brother, you can't sacrifice your life but not your wealth. This won't do.
Gao Yi sighed inwardly.
He didn't have much dealings with Haled, but Gao Yi had a good impression of Haled. Putting aside his identity as the top brother on the list, Gao Yi didn't want to see Haled die.
Greens told Gao Yi the bad news, and the matter should have ended, but now he continued in a low voice: "The situation in Saudi Arabia will change completely. Now we and the CIA are sending more people. My personal analysis is that Khaled is dead. The earliest is within three days, and the latest is within a week. Saudi Arabia will definitely use a very legitimate reason to publicly execute Khaled."
Gao Yi's heart sank again.
"Are you so sure?"
"Yes, Khaled will not be the last, but he must be the first prince killed by Shaman. We are now almost 100% sure that he will die. The rest is just a matter of time."
Gao Yi was silent for a moment, and finally asked: "Is there any possibility of rescue?"
"Rescue? Us? The CIA? Oh man, you must be kidding!"
Greens flatly denied the possibility of rescue. He whispered, "What position and reason do we have to rescue Khaled? It's impossible, absolutely impossible. We can't even provide assistance. Let's put it this way. Saudi Arabia's status is very special, and its relationship with the United States is also very special. We don't like Saudi Arabia, and the CIA especially doesn't like Saudi Arabia. But no matter how much we dislike Saudi Arabia, no one dares to touch Saudi Arabia. Unless the White House or the Pentagon orders us to do so, we will never have any substantive confrontation with Saudi Arabia. Do you understand?"
Gao Yi understood, but he still wanted to ask.
Just do your best and leave the rest to fate.
There's really nothing else I can do.
Sighing, Gao Yi whispered, "Even if Khaled can pay, can't he just find a few people to do some private work?"
"No, it's impossible! At most, it's intelligence support. The limit is intelligence support. There is nothing else we can do. This is the red line of justice. Do you understand?"
"Even if we take a military plane, it's not possible?"
"Of course not! We provided the transportation, so we were directly involved in this matter. Other countries did the same, but Saudi Arabia... is different. This difference has nothing to do with money, but with the US Middle East strategy. Man, I tell you this news just to prepare you mentally, that's all."
"Okay, got it, thank you."
Greens hung up the phone. Although he and Gao Yi were in a cooperative relationship, and even though Gao Yi could help him get promoted and make money, any relationship had its limits, and that was the end of Haled's matter.
Gao Yi put down the phone and sighed.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Feng Biao is still very considerate. When his boss has problems, he certainly wants to try to help him solve them.
"Brother, I think it's over."
After shaking his head and sighing, Gao Yi stretched out his right hand and waved it downwards, sighing, "The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, and killing the chicken is also a warning to the monkeys. Big brother can't escape this time."
Feng Biao was stunned for a moment.
He earned his first million in life from Gao Yi, but the money was given by the top brother on the list. So, although Feng Biao was not qualified to contact Haled, he also had a good impression of Haled.
It's normal. Who can be happy if a very generous financial boss dies? After hesitating for a moment, Feng Biao whispered to Gao Yi: "Boss, what do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything. I just want to save him, but I have to have a chance to do so."
"I thought you wanted to save him... I mean, I thought you had a way to save him."
Gao Yi shook his head sadly and whispered, "Now we can't even get to Saudi Arabia, how can we save them?"
Feng Biao was stunned for a moment and said, "Why can't we go? We can go in batches, one by one. Why can't we go to Saudi Arabia?"
Gao Yi was also stunned for a moment. Yes, why would he have such an idea?
Is it because after taking private and military planes twice, it is assumed that commercial flights are not available? Otherwise, why can't they go?
Gao Yi was stunned for a moment. He dialed Luca's number without hesitation. After the call was connected, he said in a low and urgent voice: "We are in a meeting. We have something to discuss. Come over here."
Call people and hold a meeting.
There are five and a half members in the Garden now, and Li Jie can only be counted as half. His opinion does not need to be taken too seriously, but Gao Yi thought about it and felt that it would be better to let Li Jie participate for a while.
Because Gao Yi didn't ask for other people's opinions before deciding whether to save people.
Now Gao Yi is the one who makes the decisions about the garden. If he says to save it, then we will save it. If he says not to save it, then we will just pretend that Haled does not exist. So there is no need to vote anyway, so why put the blame on others?
The meeting was held to pool resources and see if there was any way to save Khaled.
Everyone arrived quickly, and the location was Li Jie's residence and studio.
"My brother is dying, I want to save him, but the problem is that we are good at killing people, but we are not professional at saving people. Does anyone have any good ideas?"
Gao Yi set the tone straight away, telling others that the matter had been decided and there was no need to discuss whether to save the child or not, they just had to think about how to save him.
Luca has his own ideas.
Hearing Gao Yi's decision, Luca said seriously, "Killing is easy. The worst result after successfully assassinating the target is that you can't evacuate. Saving people is difficult. Even if you reach the target, as long as you don't save the person alive, the mission will be a complete failure. So the rescue operation is very troublesome."
Gao Yi is good at approaching quietly and then suddenly killing people. It is no problem for him to kill them seven times in and seven times.
But sneaking into the hotel where Khaled was imprisoned and then fighting his way out was certainly not a reliable idea.
Before Gao Yi could say anything, Lucy said seriously, "Go in and fight your way out with others."
Lucy dared to say what Gao Yi didn't dare to say.
Luca smiled helplessly and said, "You'd better not say anything. This plan is out."
Feng Biao said with some hesitation: "If we want to save people, it depends on who we save them from. It's easy to save them from Ace Ace, but if we save them from Shaman, the consequences will be very serious. If we make a big noise and the operation fails, we basically have no chance of escaping safely."
Lin Xianghua whispered: "Is this considered an offense to national dignity?"
"Calculate!"
After several people answered in unison, Luca frowned and said, "There is another question. Even if Khaled is rescued, can he still keep his wealth? In other words, can he still have his previous status? If not, what benefit can we get from rescuing him?"
Luca must be considering things from the perspective of interests. Gao Yi shook his head and said, "Let's not think about these things. Let's not think about the interests first, let's think about how to break the deadlock."
Li Jie finally said, "What are you talking about? Who is the big brother? Where can we save him?"
"Big brother is the best on the list, save him...just watch the news."
Feng Biao explained for Gao Yi, and Li Jie understood immediately. He suddenly said, "I understand. Saudi Arabia, do you want to rescue people from Prince Salman?"
Gao Yi nodded.
Li Jie asked curiously, "This is about snatching people from a country. You... aren't we playing such a big game?"
Gao Yi nodded silently.
Li Jie said in surprise: "Oh my god! This is great, but aren't we a killer organization? Isn't it unprofessional to save people?"
Lin Xianghua said helplessly: "You didn't hear anything we said just now, right?"
Li Jie laughed and said, "Isn't this asking for advice? What I mean is, since we as assassins are not professional in saving people, how about we try to save Zhao from Wei?"
Gao Yi was slightly stunned and said, "Besiege Wei to save Zhao?"
"Do you think kidnapping someone is easier than rescuing them? If so..."
Li Jie paused for a moment, then he said seriously: "How about we kidnap Shaman in exchange for Big Brother?"
