Chapter 514 Asking questions knowingly
Chapter 514 Asking questions knowingly
Plenov arrived as promised.
We didn’t dare to find a place to meet near the forest, but instead found a cafe far away.
"Hello, I'm the president of the Garden Federation. You can call me gardener."
Gao Yi introduced himself very politely, and Yuri stood behind him and did not sit down immediately, like a follower.
Plenov looked at Yuri blankly, then looked at Gao Yi in front of him.
One is a famous and notorious conspirator.
One was an unknown, very young foreigner who looked unworthy of being Yuri's follower.
But now the two people have switched positions, and anyone would be confused for a while.
"Garden Federation?"
Plenov looked at Gao Yi solemnly and whispered, "I haven't heard of it. I only know about a garden."
"It's the Garden, except that the Garden is limited to the assassin business, while the Garden Federation does everything."
Gao Yi had to patiently explain to Plenov.
"garden……"
Plenov has been doing security work. He has a steady and reserved personality, and even his appearance makes him look reliable.
Plenov usually didn't show off his ignorance unless he couldn't help it.
"Are you really joining the Garden?"
Plenov ignored Gao Yi again and asked Yuri in front of him.
Yuri smiled and said, "Yes."
Plenov sighed, and then he said to Yuri: "I didn't expect Alexander to come to you for help, and you are actually willing to help him."
Yuri shook his head, and Gao Yi said, "There is no such thing as asking for help or not. It's just cooperation. We are all friends, and we are just helping each other."
Plenov suddenly said: "If I refuse to help, will you kill me?"
This is the disadvantage of the killer profession.
When a killer comes to your door, you have to think about what he wants to do.
Gao Yi said seriously: "We don't do things like threats and intimidation. Whether you are willing to help or not, we will not kill you. Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, you don't shout everywhere."
Plenov didn't say anything, Gao Yi continued: "Also, I want to correct you on one point. This is not about helping, this is about cooperation and mutual benefit. Of course, we are looking for you to give you something good."
Plenov smiled and whispered, "Do you know how many traitors instigated by foreigners I have to deal with every year? Do you know how many spies I have dealt with? You can put away your rhetoric. It is useless to me."
Gao Yi didn't know how to continue, because he really didn't know enough about Plenov and couldn't come up with any targeted words.
Yuri suddenly said, "Don't use a confrontational and repulsive attitude to talk about things that are good for you. Why don't you listen to what benefits the gardener can give you."
"Okay, tell me about it, but don't talk about giving me money or making me the director. I'm not interested."
There is no fool who can become the powerful deputy director of the KGB. As soon as Plenov opened his mouth, he stopped Gao Yi from speaking.
If you don't give money, what else can you give? If you don't use the position of director to impress Plenov, what else can you use to impress him?
If Gao Yi knew more about the inside story of the KGB, he wouldn't be so passive. However, time was too tight. He had no in-depth understanding of the KGB's personnel relationships and couldn't even name the deputy directors who were his competitors. Now if you ask him to speak, he has nothing to say.
We still have to let Yuri do the talking.
Gao Yi nodded his head, pointed to the empty chair next to him, and said to Yuri, "You go talk to him."
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, just don’t let anyone see it.
Yuri pulled out a chair and sat next to Gao Yi. Then he said to Plenov with a calm but disdainful expression: "One question, why did we look for you instead of others? Why did Alexander look for you instead of others? Don't rush to answer. Think about it carefully. Think about it carefully before you speak."
This is very shameless rhetoric.
There is no correct answer at all. Alexander chose Plenov simply because he thought he had the potential to become director and was easy to control. There was no other reason.
Plenov should understand these words. He said calmly: "I don't want to, because I don't need to know. You are the ones who came to me, so it's not my turn to answer your questions."
Yuri smiled slightly and said, "Because you are also in danger, Alexander can only seek you for warmth. If you help him, you are helping yourself."
Yuri started to talk nonsense, but Plenov seemed to believe it a little, because his face suddenly became serious. Yuri said calmly: "The Security Bureau is a very special unit. Although it is affiliated with the KGB, it is also a semi-independent unit. Logically speaking, the replacement of the KGB director will not have much impact on the Security Bureau, but why were you also ordered to be under house arrest?"
"I was not grounded. I just took the initiative to stay in the bureau and work overtime like other deputy directors."
"What do you mean by overtime? Do you want Yelinsai and Liudlins to think that you have no ambition for the position of director? That's why you choose to stay in the forest to show that you have no intention of joining the war. But are there some things that you can avoid just because you want to?"
Yuri put his hands on the table, tapping them rhythmically, and smiled, "Lyudelins has been exposed for his dirty tricks, and Yelinsai is the most likely person to have done this. Now that Liudelins and Yelinsai are fighting fiercely, they have started to implicate others, right? Whose side are you on?"
Plenov said confidently: "I won't help anyone, and I have no intention of competing for the position of director."
"Don't tell me. Tell this to Liudlins and Yelinsai and see if they believe it. Maybe they will believe you and leave you as a centrist who may side with the other side at any time."
Yuri didn't say anything particularly harsh, nor did he say anything threatening, but Plenov's face became even uglier.
Although Gao Yi was a novice in politics, he understood the implication of Yuri's words.
When a war starts, attack the fence-sitters first, especially those who are powerful and can immediately change the situation after joining the battle.
Plenov was silent for a long time.
Yuri continued, "Originally it was none of your business, but someone broke the tacit understanding and balance and used means that shouldn't have been used. Now all the rules and tacit understanding have been broken. It's a situation of life and death. Do you think you can still be a good security chief? You will either die with Liudlins or with Yelinsai, or you will be killed by the two of them together. You choose one."
After speaking coldly, Yuri seemed angry. He raised his voice slightly and said, "You are willing to come out because you want to see me, or because you have something shameful to do and are afraid that others will use it as a means to attack you. In this situation, what can you pretend for? Even if the higher-ups don't know about your little thing, who among the people below doesn't know about it? Whether it's Liudlins or Yelinse, they can use this matter to take your life directly. Why are you pretending now? If you have the confidence, you won't come out. If you come out, talk to me properly!"
Sweat broke out on Plenov's forehead.
Gao Yi didn't know what happened to Plenov, as Yuri didn't tell him at all before he came.
I don't know what Yuri was thinking. If he really had some leverage over Plenov, he should at least have informed Gao Yi first, instead of leaving Gao Yi completely unprepared like he is now.
What to say.
Is it to pretend to know everything, but also to pretend to know nothing?
Or maybe, he could provoke Plenov by asking questions even though he already knew the answer?
Gao Yi thought it would be better to ask even though he knew the answer. This way it would be more radical and would seem impolite to Plenov, but at least he could understand what was going on.
"Oh, Mr. Plenov, what evidence does someone have against you? What is it?"
Gao Yi looked like he deserved a slap and looked very vicious, as if he was about to be slapped in the face in public, as if he was taking revenge for Plenov's previous refusal.
Yuri's mouth twitched, and he whispered, "What else could it be? What could a man do wrong? It's just that Mr. Plenov is special. Well, what's special about him? This... let's not talk about it."
wrong!
There is definitely something wrong!
Gao Yi didn't know Yuri very well, but from their limited contact so far, Yuri would never hide anything when it came to the real thing. He didn't like to solve problems in an ambiguous way. He liked to get things done in the most straightforward way possible.
So, Yuri doesn't know either!
This is troublesome.
Gao Yi really never expected that Yuri was also bluffing.
Plenov is not an ordinary person. If you don't show him some real evidence, how can he be fooled?
Now it seems to work.
Plenov lowered his head. He was silent for a moment and whispered, "She...although she is an American spy, I can guarantee that she did not obtain any valuable intelligence. I can say that I approached her on purpose."
It was really a lie!
What can a man do wrong?
That’s too much!
And women, of course, are the most likely to make mistakes.
Yuri said calmly: "You can explain it to the president if you have the chance to meet him."
Plenov sighed softly and said, "What do you want me to do? What can you do for me?"
"You must immediately make your position clear to save Alexander. You can propose to transfer him to the Security Bureau and make a horizontal transfer. Your position must be clear. You and Alexander should stand together."
Yuri made the request without hesitation, then his attitude changed and he said, "What we can do is get others to agree with your proposal. In addition, you can become the director of the KGB."
Plenov shook his head and said, "I don't want to be the director. Given the current situation, if I have this intention, I will be killed immediately by a joint effort."
Yuri whispered: "Don't be naive. This is not something you want to do or not. If you can't become the director, then you're done. Show us all your strength and we'll help you get started."
