Chapter 408 Quietly

Chapter 408 Quietly
French cuisine is grand and complicated, and it tastes really good, but only a little bit of everything.

This meal must not take more than two hours.

According to the process of a formal French meal, it would take at least an hour. If the menu Green had ordered in advance was very long, it would take two hours.

Gao Yi felt a little bit uncomfortable.

It’s not that the beauty is not pleasing to the eye, or the food is not delicious, but that the feeling is not right.

The most important thing is that Gao Yi had eaten his fill before coming!
"This is what you want. Is the money ready?"

Gao Yi placed the USB drive on the table, and as the appetizers had just been served, he chose to start right away.

Jenny is older and Anne is younger, so Jenny should be the one making the decision when it comes to transactions.

So Gao Yi was asking Jenny.

Jenny seemed a little surprised by Gao Yi's directness. She frowned slightly and said softly, "Money... can we talk about the price a little more?"

Gao Yi made it clear that he wanted to get straight to the point, and his directness made it seem like he was being a little too negligent towards the two beauties.

Jenny hoped that Green could help speak, so she looked at Green. Green thought about it and chose to lower his head to eat.

Gao Yi also looked at Green. When he found that Green lowered his head, he knew that Green did not want to express his opinion.

"Well, the price is negotiable. How much can you offer?"

Jenny hesitated for a moment, then she said very seriously: "We can only take out 42 million euros. This is the highest authorization I have received."

"Deal, I agree to the price, how do I pay?"

Jenny was stunned. She looked at Gao Yi in astonishment, appearing a little dazed.

Anne followed up, "It may take us a little while to complete the payment because we need to inspect the goods first."

"can."

Gao Yi agreed immediately. He pointed at the USB drive on the table and said, "Just take it to a computer and check it. If you think it's suitable, you can pay for it. If not, forget it. We are doing a credit business. I don't trust you but I trust him, so I agree to all your conditions."

Gao Yi acted as if to say, "I'll lie down and you can do whatever you want."

It's just for Green's sake. You can do whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you don't pay. I've said it before, it's just for Green's sake.

Green felt that all his efforts were in vain.

It wasn't that the two female agents sent did anything wrong, nor was there any intrigue. It was just that Gao Yi was so simple and straightforward that this transaction really became a purely personal transaction.

But the favour was from Green, not MI6.

MI6 owed Green a favor, and Green owed Gao Yi a favor. Anyway, there was a layer in between, and the result was different from what Green hoped to see.

Green could only raise his head again. He looked at Gao Yi with a little helplessness. He wanted to say something, but found that it seemed useless to say anything.

At this time, Annie suddenly asked, "Did you kill Iron Fist George?"

"Uh, yeah, that's right."

Gao Yi admitted it immediately.

Annie said with great interest: "I heard he is very powerful."

"It was very powerful, but he still died."

Gao Yi found that after he became rich, everyone became very friendly to him.

No matter what he said or did, no one would go against his wishes.

It feels like there are only good people left in this world, and it feels like the world is full of sunshine.

But this friendliness feels fake.

Gao Yi really began to miss the taste of Erguotou. The cheap liquor seemed to be more delicious than the expensive white wine on the table now.

At this time, the cold dishes came up.

The cold dish is foie gras, a classic French dish in which the foie gras is marinated, roasted, flattened, frozen, and finally sliced ​​and served.

Two waiters were carrying trays with two servings of foie gras. The waiter placed one serving of foie gras in front of Gao Yi and said in French, "Please enjoy your foie gras."

The waiter was a man. You could see that he was very skilled and had a good attitude. His movements in serving the dishes were very standard.

Everything seemed normal, but Green breathed a sigh of relief, while Jenny frowned when she saw the sudden expression on Green's face.

Green whispered, "This is very embarrassing."

Jenny immediately said, “It has absolutely nothing to do with us!”

Here it comes again, the inexplicable conversation comes again. At this moment, the waiter who served the dishes had already left with the empty tray, and Gao Yi just picked up the fork, but before he could stretch out the fork, Green suddenly said: "Don't move."

Gao Yi's hand stopped in mid-air, but he quickly and smoothly picked up a piece of goose liver. However, he did not put it into his mouth, but put the fork on the plate.

Anne was still young, and the look on her face was confused, but she reacted immediately and whispered, "Oh, damn."

Green looked very unhappy and said, "Poisoning, there was plenty of time to prepare, the chef and waiter also had problems, there is no way he could not see it."

Jenny said helplessly, “I assure you, it’s definitely not our problem!”

Green spread his hands and whispered, "Leave. Leave after arguing. Maybe it will attract the killer, maybe not. But there is no need to go through with this deal today."

Gao Yi quickly said, "It's okay, you can take the things and pay later. This transaction will not be affected."

Jenny nodded to Gao Yi gratefully, and then she continued in a low voice: "According to common sense, if the killer thinks the operation has failed, he will not make another move."

Green whispered, "If the operation fails, they will not do it again. But if their operation has not started yet, I think the first step of the assassination is poisoning. But how can we be sure that poisoning is their only means?"

"Well... okay, I'm sorry."

Jenny looked helpless. She picked up the white wine in front of her, suddenly stood up, and said to Green in a harsh voice: "Bah! Scumbag!"

Next, Jenny should throw the wine in Green's face.

But at this time, the restaurant's foreman came over in a hurry. He smiled and said earnestly, "I'm sorry, I noticed that the foie gras on your plates has not been touched. Is it because the food we made doesn't taste good, or is there any other problem?"

Green shrugged and said to the foreman, "The hydrocyanic acid has condensed. Low-temperature freezing of foie gras helps slow down the volatilization of hydrocyanic acid, but don't you think the foie gras is overfrozen?"

The foreman was horrified. The foie gras of several people had a normal egg yolk color, but it was obviously overfrozen and had a slight layer of frost on it.

"Sorry, I'll have someone change it for you right away. I'm really sorry."

The head waiter apologized profusely, then waved his hand and two waiters came over immediately.

At this moment, the guests at the table next to Gao Yi suddenly stood up, drew their guns, and yelled at the waiters, "Don't move!"

"Sir! We are ordered to protect your safety. It is dangerous here. Please leave immediately!"

There were not one table, but two. One table pointed a gun at the waiter, and another table held a cell phone and pointed the screen at Gao Yi. After letting Gao Yi take a look from a distance, he immediately said, "Our people found that a chef in the kitchen was killed and replaced. This is an assassination against you. Please leave immediately. This document can prove my identity."

Not an ID, but Marina's headshot.

But what can this picture of Marina prove?

The person close to Gao Yi swiped and clicked on the phone, and then made Marina's voice.

"Listen to him."

Just one sentence, but it was definitely Marina's voice.

Marina made the situation even more complicated.

Here are the gardener of the garden, the gardener's teacher, the teacher's colleague, the killer who assassinated the gardener, and the bodyguard who protected the gardener.

Gao Yi knows who the hell is.

Green sighed, his eyes swept over the three waiters and the head waiter who had their hands raised, looked at the two diners at the next table who were holding guns, and then looked at the man and woman who came with their cell phones.

After thinking for a moment, Green suddenly said, "Let's go. They are real bodyguards. The waiter and the foreman are not killers. It's impossible."

After saying that, Green grabbed the USB drive in his hand, put it in his pocket, and then said to Jenny and Annie, "I don't know where the news was leaked. Let's arrange another transaction."

Gao Yi was held tightly by two people. From the touch of their bodies, it seemed that they were both wearing bulletproof vests.

The man with the gun whispered in French, and more people rushed in, at least six people, four of whom were holding briefcases. They opened the briefcases while rushing towards Gao Yi, and the briefcases turned into shields. Then the four people formed a line of defense around Gao Yi, and surrounded Gao Yi as they walked out of the restaurant door.

As Gao Yi was being pushed away, he said to Green, "Give them the things, and stop trading!"

A man with a gun said coldly to Jenny: “Get out of here!”

Gao Yi was not separated from Green. They both got into the same car, which was of course not the one he drove, but a bulletproof car.

When they got in the car, Gao Yi asked Green in great confusion: "What's going on?"

"The killer attacked you and poisoned your food. He did a good job. It's really hard for non-professionals to tell. Unfortunately, the three of us are professionals and were able to discover the abnormality in the foie gras. The poison is hydrocyanic acid, which is an aqueous solution of hydrogen cyanide. It is highly toxic and volatile, but freezing it will reduce its evaporation rate, enough to ensure that you will die quickly after eating it."

After explaining the type of danger, Green continued, "I booked a seat this morning, and it was MI6 who knew the news. We are staying at the French External Security Agency. There is no doubt that we were monitored, at least I was monitored. So, the leak could be MI6 or the French External Security Agency, but given your relationship with Marina, the possibility of a leak from the French External Security Agency is low."

Green did not try to shift the blame to the French. He said seriously, "Because you have many people protecting you, if there was a killer among them, you would be in danger. They would have many opportunities to shoot. So, my guess is that MI6 leaked the news, and the killer immediately rushed to the restaurant and poisoned the frozen foie gras. The French found out a little late, otherwise they would not have waited until the foie gras was served on the table and we showed abnormalities before the French discovered something was wrong."

After that, Green sighed softly and said, "What I said now is just a preliminary judgment. The truth may never be found out, but do you know what the killer's style is now?"
