Chapter 2689 - 2663: The Fish Has Bitten

No one knew why Yarebin suddenly brought these up, until Yarebin himself revealed the answer.

"Gao, seeing that gun, I’m filled with emotion. We devoted our entire lives to the country, but no one knew our names while we were alive, and no one will know our names after we’re dead. Even we don’t know our own names..."

Yarebin seemed very pained, he muttered to himself, "Even on the tombstone, there won’t be a name."

Gao Yang whispered, "Teacher..."

Yarebin waved his hand, looked at Gao Yang, and said in a low voice, "The Black Demon squad is yours now. The Black Demon is very special. Without a leader, they’ll each die in some deserted corner. This team is so special that only one voice, one will, is allowed. If no one leads them, they will be lost."

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Rest assured, Teacher."

Yarebin continued, "You will gain many benefits by leading the Black Demon, but you will also bear some responsibilities. Gao, you must remember their names for me. Some are dead, some are alive, but I hope someone in this world remembers them."

Gao Yang said solemnly, "I will definitely remember all of them! I promise you, Teacher!"

Yarebin smiled and said, "Actually, there are many meaningless things in this world, but those meaningless things still need someone to do them. I’m really getting old and sentimental."

With a self-deprecating smile, Yarebin suddenly said, "Glewatov is different from you. You were all selected and started training in your teens, whereas I only joined the KGB after becoming an adult. You were deliberately erased of family memories and instilled with loyalty to the country from a young age. I, on the other hand, retained my complete memories, so in that sense, I’m luckier than you."

Yarebin said he was luckier than other Black Demon members, but as soon as he said it, he fell silent, and then painfully said, "Of course, it can also be considered unfortunate, because having full memories means enduring greater pain. I know where my family is, what they are called, what they are doing, they..."

Waving his hand, Yarebin sighed and said, "Lucky or unlucky, who can really say."

Gao Yang quietly asked, "Teacher, is there anywhere you would like to go?"

Yarebin thought for a long time, then smiled and shook his head, saying, "No!"

Gao Yang earnestly said, "I currently have nothing to do, and it would be easy for you to go anywhere you want. Look, we have our own private plane, it’s convenient for you to go anywhere you want to play, Teacher."

Yarebin smiled and said, "Don’t forget you’re fishing, throwing down the bait and running away is not a good habit, so you can’t say you have nothing to do."

Gao Yang gave a wry smile and said, "I really have nothing to do, Tarta and the others are holding onto the fishing rods, Jim is being closely watched by them, and Little Donnie is hiding. What is there for me to do, nothing."

Yarebin laughed and said, "You have to control the big picture, well, I want to rest quietly for a few days in this place, it’s too noisy in New York."

Gao Yang no longer persuaded, he looked at Glewatov and said, "Want to go hunting? All the way to the mountains behind is mine, you can go hunt, oh, there’s a really nice off-road vehicle in the garage that’s really cool. You can play around with it."

Joseph smiled and said, "I want to go to the shooting range, because I see the facilities here are excellent."

Just then, Gao Yang’s satellite phone rang. He took out the phone, glanced at it, and couldn’t help but smile, "Tarta, just talking about him and he calls. What a coincidence."

After answering the call, Gao Yang heard Tarta say in a low voice, "We’re in Doha, the fish has bitten."

"The fish has bitten? Great."

Tarta said quietly, "Someone has discovered Jim’s whereabouts and is watching us from the shadows. The counter-surveillance results show the other party is from the Shah Intelligence Agency. We still don’t know how they found Jim. We’re combing through pre-set clues to determine if there’s a mole among your people."

"A mole?"

"The information was leaked from America. When Jim contacted his family, he leaked an address. They found this address, so the information must have been leaked from America’s side. The current problem is whether it’s the CIA or the Shah Intelligence Agency monitoring Jim’s family, or if his family actively leaked Jim’s whereabouts."

"How can we determine?"

"We have too few people, so we can only start from this side. I plan to set a trap, as long as we capture one person, we can get all the answers we want."

Gao Yang thought for a moment, then Yarebin suddenly said loudly, "No!"

Yarebin gestured, having just heard the voice over the phone, and took the satellite phone from Gao Yang’s hand, speaking gravely, "Tarta, let Rostotsky handle this, listen to him. Now isn’t the time to find the enemy and eliminate them, the situation is complicated."

Tarta said on the phone, "Captain, should I not make a move now?"

Yarebin said seriously, "The CIA and Shah Intelligence Agency have joined forces, it must be so. Don’t rush to strike, observe. It doesn’t matter if personnel is short, but be careful not to alarm the other side. The other side must not realize it’s a fishing trap. I smell the scent of conspiracy."

"Your meaning is?"

"From the moment you threw out the bait to when the other side took it and was discovered by you, how long did it take?"

"Less than an hour! Forty-five minutes before suspicious people appeared near Jim, and only three hours before people from the Shah Intelligence Agency showed up. I determined that they must be from the Shah Intelligence Agency because their stench can be smelled three blocks away."

"In less than an hour, the CIA contacting the Shah Intelligence Agency wouldn’t be that fast. If it wasn’t the Shah Intelligence Agency monitoring Jim’s family in America all this time, then there’s only one explanation, that the CIA and Shah Intelligence Agency have been collaborating on this! And have always been working together!"

"Is Jim worth the CIA and Shah Intelligence Agency teaming up?"

"Not worth it, that’s the problem!"

Tarta let out a long breath and said quietly, "I had planned an ambush operation, now cancel that, hand over control to Rostotsky. Anything else to keep in mind, Captain?"

"Watch the CIA’s movements. If CIA personnel also show up, evacuate immediately, and rearrange everything!"

"Understood!"

At the critical moment, Yarebin unhesitatingly took over command from Gao Yang because he had more experience and knew this wasn’t the right time to train Gao Yang.

Yarebin hung up the phone, then smiled and said, "Alright, everything should end now. Rostotsky knows what to do, he will root out the hidden enemies underwater."

Glewatov said, "Captain, I’ll go help."

Yarebin shook his head, then he looked at Gao Yang and smiled, "They can handle it well. Now it’s not our concern anymore. Gao, you asked where I wanted to go, now let’s head to Moscow, I feel like visiting."
