The photo handed to the doctor showed an obese male businessman wearing a suit and a top hat, leaning on his hands, dressed like a typical British gentleman.
On the back of the photo, there is a residential address written.
"It's him?!"
Bai Heqing did not know this British businessman, but Mary recognized him at a glance and subconsciously clenched her hands.
"The person who appeared at the dock?" Bai Heqing reacted quickly, looked at her and asked.
"Ah."
Nodding, Mary stared fiercely at the British businessman in the photo, her body trembling slightly with suppressed anger.
"His name is Andrew. He was a British businessman who secretly met with the French mafia on the dock. He was also the one who injured me..."
Recalling the situation in the warehouse at that time, the old fox deliberately approached her hiding place alone, luring the trapped Mary to launch a surprise attack on him, and then took the opportunity to injure her with the pistol hidden in his cane...
No, it’s not right to say that she was wounded. The old fox wanted to shoot her to death. If Mary hadn’t used amazing reflexes to avoid the vital points at the last moment, she would probably have turned into a corpse by now. …
"He is more than just a British businessman." The doctor suddenly spoke in front of the two of them:
"While you two were unconscious, Black Rose has already investigated this person's background. The British businessman is just Andrew's disguise. His real identity is the head of the British MI6 in Paris."
"What did you say?!"
Mary stood up suddenly, with such force that the wound on her shoulder was pulled.
"That's true, Miss Mary." The doctor looked at her and said calmly, "You are also an MI6 agent, right? If you don't believe me, you can try to contact your superiors and ask.
Of course, the premise is that your superior also knows Andrew’s identity and is willing to tell you…”
The doctor's answer was completely beyond Mary's expectations. Although she was an MI6 agent, she was only a rookie who had just joined the team. Naturally, she couldn't know much about the higher-level officials in the department.
"Who are you?" Mary's eyes became increasingly serious as she looked at the doctor.
She didn't think that ordinary people could find out this kind of information.
"Don't worry, Black Rose has no ill intentions, she just has more friends in the underworld and more ways to get information, that's all.
Okay, time is running out, let's get back to the topic. Black Rose's intelligence is never wrong. If you two don't believe Andrew's identity, you can naturally go and ask your superiors in MI6.
In addition, Black Rose has also investigated the sniper who attacked you at the dock. He is also one of MI6's agents in London, and is very likely Andrew's trusted subordinate..."
"You mean, everything that happened at the dock was Andrew's attempt to kill us and silence us?" Bai Heqing suddenly asked.
He recalled a detail.
At that time, on the dock, the sniper not only wanted to kill him and Mary, but also killed a French mafia named Harry.
If he was worried about the secret of their deal being leaked, it would be enough to let the sniper take care of him and Mary. There was no need to kill his "partner" as well.
In other words, the reason why Andrew sent snipers to the dock to kill them was not simply to prevent the secret of his deal with the French Mafia from being leaked. There must be other motives...
【It's Mary.】
After just a brief thought, Baihe Qing figured it out.
Andrew recognized Mary's identity as an MI6 agent, and because Mary appeared in the dock warehouse, Andrew mistakenly believed that London had noticed his smuggling deal with the French Mafia and sent Mary to investigate.
So out of fear, Andrew finally decided to take a risk and sent snipers to try to kill them all, and frame the incident on the French Mafia so that there would be no evidence.
The logic is reasonable and the motivation is sufficient, but all these speculations are based on the premise that Andrew is also an MI6 agent.
Of course, it is not difficult for Bai Heqing to verify this. He just needs to call Director Stewart and ask him later.
"This is Black Rose's judgment. I don't know."
"Woo——"
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, a long ship whistle sounded outside the room.
You two, we have arrived in Paris, it is time for you to disembark. " Hearing this voice, the doctor spoke.
"Paris?"
Although Bai Heqing knew from the beginning that they were on a ship, he didn't expect that the destination of this ship was Paris?
"How long have we been unconscious?" Bai Heqing asked. He quickly guessed the reason.
The doctor's next words also confirmed his guess.
"For almost a day and a night, Andrew has pinned the blame for the death of the Mafia official at the dock on you, and now all the Mafia members in Paris are looking for you.
There are Mafia spies all over Paris. Sending you to the hospital in this situation will only put you in greater danger.
That's why Black Rose asked me to come here and perform surgery on you on this cargo ship that left Paris yesterday evening.
By the way, the captain of this freighter is also a friend of Black Rose, so at least when you are on this ship, you don’t have to worry about being betrayed.
As for what you two may do after you get off the boat, we will not interfere no matter what dangerous things you two may want to do.
Just remember one thing, if you two want to make that deal with Black Rose, please return to London as soon as possible, and she will personally inform you of the specific content of the deal."
Under the cover of night, a cargo ship fully loaded with cargo entered the dock. Two figures left the dock from the ship and blended into the night.
"Baihe, what are you going to do next?"
The orange street lights came on, and Mary asked as they walked on the deserted street.
Although she was asking, Bai Heqing could clearly hear that she had already made up her mind.
"Mary, there's an old saying in Big Rabbit, 'It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.'"
Shirakawa Qing spoke, and Mary looked at him with some surprise.
"Of course, most of the time, I don't really agree with this statement."
Turning his head and looking at her, Bai Heqing changed the subject and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"Because I am essentially a person who will take revenge on the spot if I have a grudge. As long as conditions permit, I will not wait even a moment longer. If conditions are not available, I will create them."
Hearing what Bai Heqing said, the surprise on Mary's face quickly turned into joy. She patted Bai Heqing's right shoulder vigorously and said happily:
"I knew it! We both think the same thing!"
The two people were thinking the same thing at this moment.
They were going to settle accounts with Andrew, and tonight.
Of course, before that, Baihe Qing still needs to communicate with Director Stewart to add a little "legitimacy" to their revenge behavior.
Chapter 413 Prepare to counterattack
"Mr. Stewart, this is Baihe."
Late at night, in a telephone exchange that was still open in Paris, Bai Heqing called Stuart's phone number.
Not far behind him, Mary was sitting on a bench, alert to the movements around her.
The two did not go to the apartment that was used as a contact point by MI6. After all, if Andrew was really the head of MI6 in Paris, these contact points might have been under surveillance. If they went there now, it would be no different from walking into a trap.
Therefore, public long-distance telephone became the only way for the two to contact Stuart at the moment.
"Shirakawa?"
Hearing Bai Heqing's voice, Stuart on the other end of the phone was visibly relieved.
"Young man, you finally showed up... You don't know how many times old Hatoyama called me during the whole day you were missing.
Every time I answer the phone, he would first ask me if he had found you, and then he would throw those garbage at me through the phone. Just a few minutes before your call, I had just calmed down his bad temper... Thank God, now I don’t have to listen to his garbage anymore.
Okay, let’s stop talking about this. Now tell me, young man, what happened to you before? Did anything happen to Mary? "
"Thank you for your concern. Mary and I are fine, but we did encounter some troubles before..."
Considering that this was not something that could be discussed on a pay phone, Shirakawa Kiyoshi made a veiled hint.
"Is it something inconvenient to talk about?"
Stuart immediately understood what he meant. On the other end of the phone, there was a sudden sound of pulling drawers and flipping through documents.
"Tell me where you are now."
"Paris First Telephone Exchange." Baihe Qing replied.
"The First Telephone Bureau? It happens that there is a suitable base on the street nearby. Baihe, please note the location and I will give you another number. This number is no longer in use. Call me when you get there.
Don't worry, I'm the only one who knows where that base is, it's very safe, no one will come to disturb us."
Stewart placed special emphasis on the last sentence.
"Yes, I'll contact you soon."
After noting down the location and number, Bai Heqing hung up the phone and turned to look at Mary behind him.
"How is it?" Mary asked quickly, getting up from the bench.
"The director gave us an address and asked us to contact him there." Baihe Qing replied as he left the telephone office with Mary.
"Is this also the MI6 base in Paris? Is there a possibility that..."
"No." Knowing what she was worried about, Bai Heqing explained: "This base is only known to the director himself. It is not under Andrew's control."
"it is good."
Under the cover of darkness, the two quickly arrived at the address given by Stewart, which was also a vacant apartment.
After taking out the apartment key stuck to the bottom of the potted plant at the door, the two opened the door and walked in.
"Pay attention to your surroundings."
Throwing the small pistol he had snatched from the dock to Mary, Bai Heqing locked the door and walked towards the study in the apartment.
"Ah."
They tacitly agreed not to turn on the lights. In the dark room, Mary walked to the window with a gun and looked at the situation on the street below.
And Baihe Qing followed what Stuart had said before and activated the mechanism behind the bookshelf in the study, opening a small secret room.
There was a landline phone in the corner of the secret room.
Picking up the phone, Bai Heqing dialed the phone number that Stuart had just given him.
"Young man, you're quick." The call was quickly connected, and Stuart said with a smile.
"How about it? Are you interested in coming to our MI6?"
