Chapter 184: Slow down, plan, and wait for the opportunity.
The little prince wants to eat, who would dare to refuse him?
If you invite a prince to dinner, can you just give him a few cakes and send him off? Or, can you let the little prince just squat somewhere and eat like a servant?
This is definitely not possible. People at this level have to pay attention to and have standards for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
A man in a robe hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's late, and everyone must be hungry. Let's eat something together."
Arabs do not have the habit of late-night snacks, but they have Ramadan, during which they can only eat after sunset and not after sunrise, so there is nothing wrong with asking their own chef to prepare a sumptuous banquet in the middle of the night.
He gave orders to prepare a dinner, and then the man in the robe, who was the host, looked at Gao Yi and suddenly asked, "Is this the man who saved your father from Shaman?"
It was no secret that Khaled had managed to escape.
Khaled's escape from the hotel where he was detained was seen as a particularly inspiring success story by many people who had experienced the same thing as him.
Also, the reason why these people dared to continue to confront Shaman was because Khaled's escape gave them the illusion that Shaman was not that powerful.
But how many people would have thought that Gao Yi did not take any money at all, and that he saved people purely out of a sentiment that is not understood by ordinary people? Not to mention whether they can think of it, even if you tell them, no one will believe it.
So it seems like this is something I could do.
Mu Tianwen knew what these people were planning, or rather, he knew their illusions, but he had no way to explain it.
The advantage of being young is that what you say is more credible.
"Did you find a professional team, or a secret force hidden by your father, or maybe... China?"
Because of Gao Yi's face, and more importantly, Mu Tianwen's educational background, some people associated him with China.
Mu Tianwen wanted to discuss it with Gao Yi before answering.
After all, it was the nature of a teenager, so he was still brave enough to take some risks. Logically, he should have listened to Gao Yi's decision on whether to eat or not. If Gao Yi felt that he could do it, he could eat. If he felt that he could not do it, he could just leave.
But Mu Tianwen wanted to see what a restaurant god of war was, so he couldn't help but say "I'm hungry" as if possessed by a ghost.
Now some people started to ask about Gao Yi's origins, but Gao Yi didn't understand. After hesitating for a while, Mu Tianwen shook his head and said, "No, none of them..."
"Isn't it the Hanging Gardens?"
At this time, the CIA person suddenly spoke.
The CIA guy could understand Arabic, but he spoke English.
I can speak your language, but I don’t speak it. If you want to communicate, you learn my language. This is arrogance that comes from strength.
The CIA man waved his hand, and he also looked at Gao Yi and said, "Your father found the Sky Garden to kill your uncle, and it was the Sky Garden that rescued your father from Shaman."
This time Gao Yi understood.
When he heard the word "Hanging Gardens", he was first shocked, and then overjoyed.
The Sky Garden is really famous.
Now, the CIA people don’t know that Khaled has sided with Salman, but Abdullah was handed over by Khaled, but was snatched away by the CIA, so the CIA should not think that the Sky Garden is working for Salman.
But as the situation develops, these people will sooner or later realize that Khaled has sided with Sharman. By then, the Sky Garden will be on their blacklist and become a target of the CIA.
This should be the result if things continue to develop, but now, the look in the eyes of these princes when they look at Gao Yi is very simple, that is, they want to recruit him for their own use.
The CIA guy probably wanted to prevent this from happening, so he interrupted.
Of course, the CIA hopes that these princes can only ask the CIA for help when they have problems, rather than spending a little money and using a killer group called Sky Garden to get things done.
This is what Gao Yi speculated in his mind, but the CIA also verified his speculation.
"Can you tell me why your father wanted to return Abdullah to Salman? He had already fled from Riad and you were already on the plane. Why did he release Abdullah in Baghdad?"
You must be asking this question even though you already know the answer.
The insider could accurately describe Abdullah's situation and also say that he would be released in Baghdad. So the insider must have known that it was Salman who was held hostage and had to release Khaled.
Gao Yi felt that he needed to speak, he needed to state the position and characteristics of the Sky Garden.
"Sir, it was my decision to release Abdullah because I needed him in exchange for my brother."
Gao Yi acted calmly. He smiled and said, "As a professional assassin organization, we are committed to solving all problems for our clients. However, when there is a conflict between the client's secondary interests and our lives, we choose to protect ourselves."
Gao Yi still had to explain. He said calmly, "The client's main interest is life safety. Our mission is to rescue the employer. We have done this, even leaving a companion behind. But the employer's life is safe, so we have to consider our own lives."
What this means is that Khaled is going to die, and the Sky Gardens must rescue him no matter how many people die. However, Khaled wants to use Abdullah in exchange for his own interests, and doing so will result in the death of people in the Sky Gardens, so the Sky Gardens will decisively refuse.
Finally, Gao Yi said very seriously: "The Sky Garden's position is that it has no position. If it must have a position, it is money!"
During the English conversation, a translator immediately appeared beside the white-robed bosses. When the translator finished Gao Yi's words, smiles immediately appeared on the faces of the white-robed bosses.
"How do you charge?"
It was best to get the job done for money, and the key was that it was done so efficiently and thoroughly, so someone immediately asked for the price. After the translation, Gao Yi immediately said, "The starting price is 20 million US dollars."
"How much did Khaled give you?"
"Secret."
"I'll give you 50 million dollars, it's just a deposit. Go and rescue my brother from the hotel. If you succeed, I'll pay you another 50 million!"
Not only did he ask for the quote, he also placed an order immediately, and it was a super large order.
But go to Shaman again, lie to him again, threaten him again?
But forget it, Gao Yi doesn't have another Feng Biao in his hand. Even if Feng Biao wanted to stab himself in the other leg, he couldn't do it.
So Gao Yi said calmly: "Sorry, we already have a commission now. We can't accept new orders until the mission is completely completed."
Mu Tianwen coughed lightly and said with an unhappy look on his face: "Now he works for my father!"
Several people laughed, but the CIA man frowned and asked, "Are your people safe now?"
Gao Yi nodded and said, "Yes, when I released Abdullah, our people had already received the companions who were responsible for controlling Shaman and completed the hostage exchange."
Sounds reasonable.
The CIA personnel looked at Mu Tianwen and pointed at Gao Yi and said, "So, your father released Abdullah because of him?"
Mu Tianwen hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Very well, in that case, is your father willing to accept Abdullah?"
Mu Tianwen nodded and said, "Yes."
"Very well, do you still want to decide what to do with Abdullah?"
Gao Yi could choose not to answer this question, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "My companions are safe. Abdullah has nothing to do with us. These are all matters that you decide."
"The problem is solved. What is your father going to do next? You are his representative. You should be able to answer this question."
The CIA people were tough and aggressive.
Mu Tianwen's face looked very conflicted.
If Abdullah could be handed over to Mu Tianwen and taken away directly, then everything would be over. Gao Yi would not have to use the hammer, and these people would not have to die.
But things shouldn't be that simple.
Gao Yi sighed inwardly. Now, Haled was in trouble. He was going to be roasted on the fire.
Sure enough, before Mu Tianwen could say anything, the CIA agent continued, "Your father can be the banner against Salman. As long as he is willing to stand up and make a clear statement, clearly opposing Salman, you can take Abdullah away. But your father only wants to seek refuge abroad and will never dare to oppose Salman again, so you can leave now."
Gao Yi understood.
The CIA wants to take the lead in overthrowing Shaman because they are very angry about the rescue operation tonight. Maybe they just wanted to hide behind the scenes before, but now, they want to take the lead.
The remaining few men in robes didn't want to be the first to stand out. They didn't want to become the CIA's knife to deal with Sharman.
Everyone wants to hide behind and no one wants to stand in the front.
Mu Tianwen whispered, "I need to discuss this with my father."
The CIA man said in a deep voice, "Hurry up, if your father agrees, I will arrange a press conference immediately. Once your father makes a statement, we will be responsible for providing protection."
Khaled was forced to express his opinion immediately, but this was impossible.
Therefore, it was impossible for Abdullah to be taken away.
Mu Tianwen fell into deep thought again. The CIA man continued, "If you can't decide, call your father."
"I……"
Mu Tianwen looked at Gao Yi, and Gao Yi whispered, "Slow down, plan carefully, and wait for the opportunity."
A delaying tactic is to buy time, plan carefully before taking action, and then observe the situation and wait for an opportunity to act.
It was not known whether this CIA person could understand Chinese, so Gao Yi did not dare to say it too clearly. But even if he could understand common Chinese expressions, he might not be able to understand idioms.
Even if one could understand an idiom, one might not necessarily understand half of it, so Gao Yi used six words to convey a lot of information to Mu Tianwen.
Mu Tianwen, a little prince of idioms, could of course understand Gao Yi's meaning.
The CIA man looked annoyed because he really didn't understand.
Mu Tianwen had an idea in his mind. He pretended to be in deep thought, but finally nodded and said, "Give me a quiet room. I'll call my father, but...what did Abdullah say? What's the point of getting him?"
At this time, a man in a robe suddenly said, "Dinner is ready. Let's go into the restaurant and eat. We can talk while we eat."
