194: Chapter 182 Deliberate over a Lengthy Period 194: Chapter 182 Deliberate over a Lengthy Period Lucy was pouting as she handed over a hamr to Gao Yi, her face still tense.
“Here!”
After handing the hamr to Gao Yi quite indifferently, Lucy pondered for a mont, and then suddenly said, “I don’t like Luca.”
Gao Yi was greatly surprised, for this was the first ti Lucy had explicitly expressed liking or disliking soone.
“Why?”
“He lacks respect for you, I don’t like the things he says.”
After saying that, Lucy thought for a mont, and then added another line.
“You look cool when you use the hamr, not just swinging it.”
The butler was driving, with Gao Yi and Mu Tianwen in the back seat, so Lucy could only sit in the passenger seat.
After speaking, Lucy turned around to buckle up her seatbelt and looked straight ahead, then suddenly said, “It’s nothing.”
It was indeed a bit inexplicable, but after Mu Tianwen watched vacantly from the back seat for a mont, he suddenly said, “Sister-in-law is really…
straightforward.”
Gao Yi paused for a mont.
Mu Tianwen looked at Gao Yi and continued, “So, the special purpose of the hamr that sister-in-law gave you is?”
“Ah, uh, well, it’s the usual purpose of a hamr, to smash things.”
Mu Tianwen nodded, then continued, “Okay, so you and sister-in-law are going to accompany in, and then we’ll play it by ear.”
“That’s right.”
“Anything else?”
“That’s all.”
Mu Tianwen was not short, but he was quite thin, and kids of his age usually are thin, his skin slightly dark, making him look a bit more naive.
Indeed, he was young and had not yet learned to hide his thoughts.
Worry beca apparent on Mu Tianwen’s face.
“No, Big Brother, just you and sister-in-law, with no weapons, are we just going to go in and out like this?”
Gao Yi’s face remained calm as he said, “Yes, if you’re really worried, you can have them et in the restaurant.”
“eting in the restaurant, is there so special aning to that?”
“Yes, my combat power doubles in a restaurant, I can say I’m invincible there.”
Mu Tianwen had strong confidence in Gao Yi, but he was not a child who had never seen the world.
“That…”
“Also, don’t call Big Brother, your dad is my Big Brother, so you should call Uncle…”
Mu Tianwen thought for a mont, then said, “Let’s each stick to our own terms, you call my dad Big Brother, I’ll call you Big Brother, mainly because all those I’ve called Uncle are dead, I always feel that calling you Uncle doesn’t seem quite right.”
Gao Yi was at a loss for words, then he nodded and said, “Fine, each to their own terms.”
After pondering for a while, Mu Tianwen said, “Then let’s do it this way, we’ll first go in to check the situation, to confirm if Abdulla is really inside, if he is, we’ll co out, call for backup, then go in again, they definitely won’t have a chance to run.
If he’s not there…”
“If he’s not there, it ans they lured you over and it becos dangerous.”
After saying this, Gao Yi patted Mu Tianwen’s shoulder again and said earnestly, “So whether Abdulla is inside or not, it’s dangerous, I reckon we’ll have to take action, so you need to be ntally prepared, of course, if it’s really not appropriate to take action, then we’ll find another opportunity to go in.”
“I’m not doubting you, but sister-in-law doesn’t look like she can fight, why do you insist on taking sister-in-law instead of your two subordinates?”
Gao Yi smiled mysteriously and said, “You don’t understand that, your sister-in-law may look fragile, but in fact, she is a Berserker, when it really cos to fighting, she’s far more formidable than others.”
“Big Brother…
a hero without equal, sister-in-law a hero in won’s attire; since you both act in concert, I’ll be looking forward to it.”
The Green Zone isn’t small, but it’s not so vast that it’s endless.
Just discussing the plan on the road, a twenty minutes’ drive was enough to reach the destination.
The place arranged to et Mu Tianwen was a villa by the river in Baghdad, where, especially in the Green Zone, a riverside villa was quite scarce, but a person who could be Harold’s accomplice surely wouldn’t lack the funds for it.
The car stopped at the entrance.
Mu Tianwen took a deep breath, still feeling nervous, so after mustering his courage several tis, he finally opened the car door.
As he got out, the butler also moved to exit the car when Gao Yi spoke softly, “You don’t need to get out.
Just wait in the car and if anything happens, use the walkie-talkie to call for backup.
The others will respond from behind.”
Looking back, he saw Luca and their cars stopped two hundred ters away.
The distance was a bit far, but considering the unknown situation inside, it seed better to keep so distance to avoid being caught in one fell swoop.
Three people got out of the car, and Lucy had that expressionless look on her face.
She now knew the role she had to play, so she naturally stood by Mu Tianwen’s side.
Gao Yi was to the left and Lucy to the right as Mu Tianwen strolled towards the entrance.
Before he could even speak, the iron gate slowly opened.
Gao Yi followed Mu Tianwen as he casually walked in.
In the courtyard, two people could be seen wearing Bullet-Proof Vests and holding rifles, not AKs but SCARs, which were rare in Baghdad.
After a brief exchange in Arabic, soone quickly walked out from the house.
He looked at Gao Yi and Lucy, his gaze lingering on Lucy for an extra two seconds, then he said sothing in a low voice to Mu Tianwen before walking into the villa’s main hall.
There was no one in the yard, but the living room was crowded.
At least ten people, all ard with guns and wearing heavy Bullet-Proof Vests, were clearly ready for a firefight at any mont.
By their complexion and features, most of these n were Middle Eastern people, though there were two who looked like Eastern Europeans.
Their origins, however, were unclear.
After a brief conversation, soone ca up and gestured for Gao Yi to raise his hands for a pat-down, and another fully-ard individual signaled for Lucy to be inspected.
Mu Tianwen imdiately took offense, harshly scolding them for a mont.
The person who had greeted them then sheepishly motioned with his hand, and the soldier who had attempted to search Lucy promptly backed away.
But Gao Yi still needed to be searched.
He had no gun, but the soldier easily pulled a small hamr from his waist.
Without the hamr, Gao Yi felt a slight regret.
No one said anything.
After all, having only a hamr and no gun or bomb on him was already a sincere approach.
Soone said sothing in Arabic, and Mu Tianwen turned to Gao Yi, “They say you have to leave your hamr here.
You can take it with you when you leave.”
But before Gao Yi could respond, Mu Tianwen gestured impatiently at the soldier who searched him, then took the hamr from the soldier’s hand.
“My father suffered a lot at Abdulla’s hands.
I brought this hamr to break his fingers one by one.
Is there a problem?”
Holding the hamr, he asked the greeter a few questions.
The greeter then responded, “No problem, please take it with you.
Sorry, this is just…
a normal precaution.
Please understand, also…”
With that, the search was over, but it was necessary for Lucy to undergo a search.
The greeter pointed to a room, “Please have her wait inside.
There are only won in there.”
Mu Tianwen hesitated for a mont before saying to Lucy, “Wait for us in this room.”
Mu Tianwen spoke gently.
Lucy looked at Gao Yi, and after he nodded, she imdiately left.
Handing the hamr to Gao Yi, he naturally slipped it back into his waistband, and they followed the person who might be the butler or receptionist, finally entering a secret room.
Even if it was a secret room, with no windows and lavishly furnished, several single sofas were placed around, but there was no table.
Inside, five people were sitting.
One of them wore a suit with a very displeased expression, two wore white robes, one in a black robe, and one in a white robe with gold trim.
But these were just the people sitting.
There were seven standing, three in tactical gear and four in suits.
Mu Tianwen greeted each of the robed figures in turn, then looked with a puzzled expression at the middle-aged man in the suit.
“This is the CIA representative.”
Mu Tianwen nodded, then sat down in an empty armchair.
The CIA man seed displeased as he looked first at Gao Yi, then at Mu Tianwen, saying, “Does Harold only intend to send a child in his stead?
If that’s the case, how can we support him?”
Mu Tianwen didn’t say a word.
The man in the white robe next to him was about to speak when the CIA man waved his hand, “Sending the person to Harold was your collective decision.
I am not involved in your decision-making, but because of your issue tonight, we lost many brothers.
So I hope that you will consider any decisions carefully.”
Gao Yi didn’t know what they had discussed before, so he treated this man’s words as if they were re hot air.
It had nothing to do with him.
Still in Arabic, Mu Tianwen seed to handle the situation quite well.
After a few words, all four robed n nodded repeatedly, then one of them pointed to a door and said a few words.
Mu Tianwen looked excited, he said to Gao Yi, “Let’s go see that damned bastard!
I want to make him…”
His speech trailed off, but his gritted teeth, clenched fists, and sneering expression were all very age-appropriate.
Gao Yi followed Mu Tianwen toward the door.
A man in a suit opened it, and inside sat Abdulla, bound to a chair.
Two caras were pointed at Abdulla, filming.
Despite his pale, blood-streaked face, it was indeed Abdulla, alive though clearly in pain.
It was obvious he had been tortured but was in no mortal danger.
Mu Tianwen stroked his fist, but a person beside him shook their head and spoke sothing in Arabic.
Mu Tianwen looked at Gao Yi.
Gao Yi hesitated.
With the situation as it was, storming in was not feasible.
Gathering more n to co over might work, but using the hamr didn’t seem right; too many people, too dangerous.
Gao Yi nodded slightly, speaking softly, “It’s him.
Let’s play the long ga.”
Mu Tianwen would surely understand the underlying aning of those words.
Mu Tianwen turned around, hesitated for a mont as he faced his father’s loyalists, then, as if possessed, said, “I’m hungry.
I haven’t eaten anything since yesterday.
Can soone get so food?
Can we talk while eating?”
