Chapter 245 Flattery
Chapter 245 Flattery
Marina's office is a two-entry suite. As she said, it is indeed large, but whether the sofa is particularly comfortable remains to be verified.
Since Gao Yi had no chance to sit on the sofa, he sat directly on a chair opposite Marina's desk.
"This is the information I compiled. It has been printed out."
Pushing a bound document in front of Gao Yi, Marina said seriously, "Regarding you, on the first four pages, I printed out all the information that can be collected from public channels. Of course, it is public information on the dark web that I think is useful."
Gao Yi took a look.
About Bu San's information, about Albatross's information. Of course, Bu San's part is just about a personal killer, but Luca's information, that is, the Albatross's part is more detailed.
Then there is the information about the gardens and the hanging gardens.
There are only four pages in total, which is actually not a lot.
Gao Yi took a quick look, then looked at Marina and asked, "How did you find me?"
"It's very simple. It's a clue that's not obvious but very important. Yellow people, Asians. I've seen the video of Diso being killed. I noticed your style of action. Then I was attracted by the news about the Sky Garden. Our intelligence work doesn't rely solely on the dark web, but the dark web is indeed a good source of intelligence. Now any intelligence agency has to pay attention to the dark web to some extent, and the biggest news on the dark web in recent years is the Sky Garden."
Marina smiled and said, "Prince Shaman, Deputy Director Abdullah, and you, when the three of you are linked together, I can only think that you are from the Sky Garden. The moment I saw you, I naturally thought of the assassination of Diso. The assassination of Diso was a mission completed by the Sky Garden, so you are from the Sky Garden."
Gao Yi nodded.
"What I said was a little brief, but that's basically the idea. As for why I believe you are the gardener, well, the reason is also very simple, because I know that the previous gardener of the garden was Sean, and he died."
Gao Yi was moved and asked, "Do you know Sean?"
"As a killer organization that originated in France and often operates in France, how could I not know about it?"
Marina asked Gao Yi in return, and spread her hands, "There is no one to inherit the garden now, but a sky garden has emerged, and the one who appeared on behalf of the sky garden is a small character, a small character who had been acting as a middleman. At first I couldn't be sure who could take over the garden, but after seeing your strength, especially after annihilating the Oak Mercenary Group last night, I knew it could only be you, because no one else has the strength and means to control you, so it can only be you who controls a small character who had been acting as a middleman."
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "So, you think I'm a gardener."
"Isn't it?"
Gao Yi didn't want to admit it, but he didn't deny it either.
If I admit it, there will be no room for maneuver. If I don’t deny it, it’s because I don’t want to insult Marina’s intelligence.
Gao Yi flipped through the information and asked, "You said there are enough benefits for me. What are they?"
"Intelligence, intelligence from the dark web, intelligence from the Andek Group."
Marina finished her words, she smiled and said, "Behind the dark web is Andek Group, or rather, behind Andek Group is the dark web. You should know it now."
"I see. So when did you know that?"
The reason why Gao Yi had to ask this question was very simple. Sean didn't seem to know the relationship between the Andek Group and the dark web before, so if the French had known about it all along, then were they deliberately hiding something from Huayuan?
"I had this suspicion a long time ago, but I have never been able to confirm it. Until now, I still have no evidence to confirm it, but I also have no evidence to overturn this suspicion. According to my style and habits, I cannot rule out the suspicion, that is."
Marina smiled and said, "We don't need evidence, just suspicion is enough, right?"
"Yes, just doubt is enough."
Flipping through the information, Gao Yi found that behind his information was the information of the Saudi National Intelligence Agency.
Gao Yi slightly widened his eyes and asked, "What is this?"
"The intelligence we have, the CIA's moles planted in the National Intelligence Agency, and the British. How about this gift as a meeting gift?"
Gao Yi thought about it and said, "This doesn't seem to be a secret."
"Oh?"
Gao Yi continued to flip through the pages, but there was nothing else except information about the National Intelligence Agency.
Gao Yi put down the information and said, "Is that all?"
Marina smiled and said, "Why, are you still not satisfied with these?"
"Uh, a very important question, I'm not a spy, I'm a killer."
Gao Yi placed the information on the table and said, "So this gift is good, but it doesn't do me much good. Of course, I still want to thank you."
What I mean is that I accept the benefit, thank you, but I can’t work for you for it.
Marina nodded and said, "In fact, I didn't have any use for you, but now, since you are so powerful, I want you to do something for me. As for the reward..."
Marina thought for a moment, and finally said, "Isn't it enough to protect you and your companions from the CIA's pursuit?"
Gao Yi smiled and said, "This should be a matter between Saudi Arabia and France, not between you and me."
The subtext is that my life was saved by Sharman, and the price was to buy your French fighter jets. It was not because you, Marina, wanted to use me that I was provided with asylum. So don't take what you have to do as a favor. Sharman spent tens of billions to buy it, not the French External Security Directorate-General.
Gao Yi is very clear-headed, Marina should not try to fool him.
Marina was silent for a moment, then said, "We have a responsibility to protect you, that's true, but we have no responsibility to escort you away, you have to admit that, right?"
"I don't know. Whether to escort us out of France is something you should consider. I just want to be safe now."
It doesn't matter whether to leave France, as long as it is safe. As for how to leave France, that is Abdullah's consideration.
Marina smiled, and then she said seriously: "Do you think the Americans will let you leave France? Without our help, you have to rely on the National Intelligence Agency... Can they take you away safely?"
I always felt that Marina was mocking Abdullah, but Gao Yi was speechless.
Abdullah is loyal, capable, resourceful, and of course, combat-ready.
So it seems a little unreliable to leave my life to Abdullah.
Seeing Gao Yi no longer refute, Marina whispered: "So let's make a deal. You help me deal with the tasks at hand, and I will help you send everyone away safely. You tell me where to send them, and I will help you send them there. Is that okay?"
"Okay, on this condition."
Marina picked up a pen and said, "Let them recover. Once they are well, send them away directly. Make sure they are escorted safely to their destination. Just tell me the address."
"I have a question, could you help me answer it?"
"Ask first."
Gao Yi whispered, "Why do you know Sean? How long have you known him? Huayuan wants to set up a dark web in Europe. Is there any push from you guys behind this?"
"I know Sean because I have his information. I have never met him in person. We are happy to see that the Garden wants to set up a dark web in Europe, but we did not directly promote it, let alone participate in it."
Marina smiled and said, "I have been in charge of the Counterintelligence Department for less than two years. What happened before was too long ago, so of course it has nothing to do with me."
"What do you know about gardens?"
"Not much, but not a few either. The Garden was very strong in its heyday. In fact, it has always been very strong. So the question is, do you think we are completely unaware of such a famous and long-standing assassin organization? Well, no need to guess. We have been in contact with the Garden before. Some targets that are inconvenient for us to deal with can be handed over to the Garden. Is that enough?"
"Who else is going to do the same thing now?"
Marina spread her hands and smiled, "Boy, you've crossed the line. I didn't ask you anything you shouldn't have asked."
"Sorry, pretend I didn't ask. Then cooperate. Um, I have another question."
"You ask."
Gao Yi said sincerely: "You are the most intelligent, decisive, and powerful intelligence officer I have ever met. Really, I swear to God, what I said is absolutely true, so when I have something I can't decide, I hope to get your guidance."
Marina was surprised and said, "Oh, you think so highly of me? And you didn't add the prefix of gender."
"You mean a woman? The most powerful woman I've ever seen? No, no, no, that's not it. Regardless of whether it's a man or a woman, you are the most powerful and the smartest one I've ever seen."
After saying that, Gao Yi thought for a moment and added very seriously, "Of course, it is also the most beautiful. Needless to say, what brand of perfume do you use? It smells great."
All the previous words are not as effective as the last one.
Marina smiled and said, "I don't use perfume. Intelligence officers don't use perfume on a daily basis. Don't you know that?"
Gao Yi was extremely surprised and said: "No perfume? Then why does it smell so good? Is it body odor? Sorry, sorry, that's not what I meant..."
"Forgive you."
Marina smiled and waved her hand, saying, "You even know how to please a woman. Who taught you? Who trained you?"
Gao Yi stood up immediately and said with a serious face, "I swear to God, if I was lying to you just now, then may God punish me and punish me so that I can never find a girlfriend in my life and let the soul of my dead father suffer in hell all day long!"
Marina was stunned for a moment, then she said seriously: "Sorry, I'm not questioning you, I'm just...well, it's been a long time since anyone said I have body odor, uh, thank you."
Gao Yi sat down and said seriously, "Then, my last question is, when will we take action?"
"Of course, the operation won't be finalized so quickly. It requires intelligence support. I'll tell you when I have news. As for the details of the evacuation operation, I'll discuss it with you. You can go back first."
How straightforward! He didn't say a few words and immediately ordered me to leave after he made things clear.
Gao Yi stood up again and said goodbye politely.
After sending Gao Yi away and watching him close the door, Marina stretched out her arm and put it in front of her nose to smell it carefully. Then she whispered, "It seems that there is really body fragrance."
Gao Yi closed the door with his backhand, and then, before he turned around, he suddenly said for no reason: "Flattery doesn't wear out, it's the truth."
