Chapter 394: A Simple Task

"Satisfying! Too damn satisfying, this kind of bastard deserves to be taught a lesson like this!" Ma Xidao clenched his fists and laughed.

Lao Yu smiled and said, "Your move was quite refreshing; one big slap to the face is more effective than any words!"

For a moment, Lao Yu and Ma Xidao felt a sense of mutual appreciation.

After arriving at the airport, a private plane had long been waiting there.

As for Ma Xidao and the squad leader, they had no choice but to go through Customs, as they were still escorting a prisoner!

However, before leaving, Lao Yu left a business card for Ma Xidao.

"With your personality, you must have offended quite a few powerful people. If you ever feel like you can't stay in South Korea anymore, come find me!" Lao Yu patted Ma Xidao on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Ma Xidao put the business card away with a complex expression, then followed the squad leader and left the departure hall.

On the way, Lao Yu used the phone to notify Chen Jiajun in Hong Kong. Upon learning that Young Master Guo had been rescued safely, that Guo Xiansheng appeared extremely agitated.

He insisted on taking everyone to the airport to wait! Chen Jiajun had no choice but to go along; after all, the favor had already been sold, and he couldn't just walk away at this moment.

After arriving at the airport, a figure leaped off the plane as if he had gone mad.

This person was Guo Xiansheng's son, Xiao Guo.

Having been brutally abused by Jiang Haishang and then taught a lesson by Lao Yu, he was in a terrible state at this moment.

After getting off the plane and seeing his father, he rushed directly behind his boss and began to cry and complain, snot and tears streaming down his face.

Seeing that this kid was able to return alive, Guo Xiansheng finally let out a sigh of relief.

He had already prepared himself for the possibility of this kid dying abroad; now that he could return alive, Guo Xiansheng seemed to have no other demands.

As for Xiao Guo's talk of being abused, Guo Xiansheng also cursed "serves him right" in his heart.

Regarding Xiao Guo's tearful complaints, he looked impatient: "Enough, since you're back, we'll talk about other things when we get home. Don't make a scene and lose face out here."

Xiao Guo was just about to lose his temper and have a big argument with his old man.

At this moment, Lao Yu and the others walked off the plane.

Seeing Lao Yu's half-smiling face, Xiao Guo immediately hid behind his father and shouted, "Dad, fire this bastard! This guy actually dared to hit me!"

Hearing Xiao Guo's words, Guo Xiansheng was somewhat surprised.

Lao Yu could only explain with a chuckle, "Your son wasn't very well-behaved on the way back. You know the environment in Vietnam, so we had no choice but to resort to such measures."

Guo Xiansheng nodded, knowing what kind of character his son had, and instead smiled at Chen Jiajun: "Mr. Chen's subordinates are Crouching Tigers and Hidden Dragons; it's understandable that their tempers are a bit fiery."

Chen Jiajun immediately burst into laughter: "Guo Xiansheng is too kind, as long as you don't blame us!"

"How could I? I really have to thank you for this matter," Guo Xiansheng said with a smile.

The two spoke, completely ignoring Xiao Guo, and he was not qualified to be discussed by Chen Jiajun and Guo Xiansheng.

After confirming that the person had been rescued, Chen Jiajun got up to take his leave. Guo Xiansheng made an appointment to play golf next week, then slapped Xiao Guo across the face again and scolded him sharply: "Are you still not satisfied with how much face you've made me lose? Get back!"

Saying this, Guo Xiansheng directly had his bodyguards pull the idiot into the car and drove away.

Chen Jiajun returned to the mansion and met Huo Yingnan again, asking about Guo Xiansheng's situation: "Now that the deed is done, can you tell me the reason?"

Huo Yingnan said speechlessly, "You came to find me just for this?"

Chen Jiajun said irritably, "Nonsense, the General Manager of my Security Group went out personally; I have to know if this was worth it!"

Huo Yingnan smiled and said, "Then I can tell you, it was absolutely worth it! The three Guo brothers seem harmonious, but in reality, there has long been a rift between them!"

"A solid Guo family is no good for us. Guo Desheng originally controlled the import and export business, specializing in wholesale foreign goods; he probably had secret dealings with the Gweilo long ago. Now that he's dead, the three sons must have inherited quite a bit of business in this area."

Chen Jiajun understood immediately: "This is trying to divide them? But relying on such a small matter, isn't that a bit unrealistic?"

Huo Yingnan smiled and said, "A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant hole; sometimes things start from a small matter! Besides, Guo Binglian is the youngest in the family and received the least, so he has long been quite dissatisfied. Plus, he was the one who took the initiative to contact me this time! I think there is definitely something to be done here!"

After listening, Chen Jiajun nodded: "So that's it, no wonder you asked me to personally look into this matter!"

Huo Yingnan shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that a Security Company you set up casually would have this kind of use. Your Security Company must have quite a few wealthy clients now, right?"

"Hahaha? Nan Ge, are you jealous!" Chen Jiajun laughed quite proudly.

A business like a Security Company allowed Chen Jiajun to gain connections with many Asian tycoons, which counted as an unexpected joy.

It could be said that Chen Jiajun now held a massive network of connections; no tycoon in Hong Kong could compare to Chen Jiajun.

Huo Yingnan laughed and scolded: "Get lost! But this Security Company of yours can do many things that are inconvenient to do; you must make good use of it!"

Chen Jiajun nodded and said with a smile, "Isn't that what I'm doing now?"

"Hahaha!" Huo Yingnan also laughed along.

Just as Chen Jiajun and Huo Yingnan were chatting, an Information Officer walked in and said to Chen Jiajun, "Boss, we've been targeted!"

Chen Jiajun immediately frowned: "What's going on?"

The Information Officer could only whisper in Chen Jiajun's ear: "The Soviet Union matter!"

Chen Jiajun immediately stood up, said goodbye to Huo Yingnan, and returned to his office.

Only then did he ask: "Who is targeting us? Why were we targeted?"

The Information Officer said helplessly, "We don't know either. We only know that when we were conducting the transaction with Keziluofu, a large number of CIA members appeared. We had no choice but to interrupt the transaction!"

"CIA?" Chen Jiajun frowned immediately, then picked up the phone and called Keziluofu.

Keziluofu was also very strange about this matter. Logically speaking, a place like Vladivostok shouldn't attract the prying eyes of the CIA, so he said to Chen Jiajun, "Let us investigate this matter and we will give you an answer in a few days!"

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "You also know the true purpose of my purchasing this batch of equipment; I don't want to be targeted by the CIA!"

Keziluofu nodded and said, "We also plan to live in the United States later; we don't want to be targeted by people from such an agency."

"OK, waiting for your good news!" After saying that, Chen Jiajun hung up the phone.

After a long silence, Chen Jiajun said to the Information Officer, "Have Silva come over!"

"Yes!" The Information Officer immediately called for Silva.

As the head of Chen Jiajun's Information Department, Silva was very busy.

Hearing Chen Jiajun's summons, he still stopped what he was doing to see Chen Jiajun.

After explaining everything, Chen Jiajun asked, "The situation is unclear now; why do you think we were targeted by the CIA?"

Chen Jiajun's subordinates simply lacked the talent to handle international conflicts.

The only one who could was Silva.

After hearing the ins and outs, Silva couldn't help but frown: "I think... this matter probably doesn't have much to do with us!"

"Huh?" Chen Jiajun was stunned on the spot: "Doesn't have much to do with us?"

Silva nodded and said: "I know the CIA's style of doing things very well; they like to control the whole situation! Generally, when the CIA takes action, it means they have already figured things out clearly. It is absolutely impossible for them to leak wind before the operation!"

"Moreover, this intelligence is ambiguous. Boss, you might as well wait a while. If there is nothing unusual in Vladivostok, I think it is very likely that we have been implicated by others."

Hearing this line of thought from Silva, Chen Jiajun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Tell me your opinion?"

"With the recent dissolution of the Soviet Union, many people want to make a fortune from it! And given the current situation in the Soviet Union, they will sell anything for money." Silva shook his head and said: "In such a general environment, the possibility of us being implicated is too high! Now we need to verify the source of this intelligence!"

Chen Jiajun looked directly at the Information Officer in Hong Kong, and the other party hurriedly said: "This matter seems to have spread from the police station; people from the CIA have already arrived in Hong Kong!"

At this time, Hong Kong International Police.

Chen Jiaju was reporting to several Gweilo: "We have been monitoring her for two weeks. Four days ago, she joined Ahong Kong tour group to Ukraine! Yesterday, she went to the Swiss Bank again, and we believe she has already withdrawn a large amount of cash!"

After finishing the report, Chen Jiaju turned on the lights in the room and said to the several Gweilo: "This woman holds a Ukrainian passport, and her name is Natasha!"

The Gweilo opposite stood up and said in fluent Cantonese: "Thank you, Jiaju, you did a very good job! Thank you!"

Subsequently, the Gweilo said to Chen Jiaju's superior, Dong Biao: "Biao Shu, I would like to have a word with you!"

Dong Biao was stunned for a moment and said: "Me?"

The CIA people came to Hong Kong, requesting the Hong Kong Police to cooperate with their work.

It could be said that Dong Biao had already done everything he could; he did not understand why the CIA Gweilo wanted to find him.

After two years of experience, Chen Jiaju was no longer a guy with zero emotional intelligence. Hearing that they had something to discuss, he said: "Then I will head out first!"

After waiting outside for more than ten minutes, Chen Jiaju saw Dong Biao walk out. He couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Biao Shu, what exactly is going on?"

Dong Biao waved his hand and said: "We'll talk after we get in the car!"

Once in the car, Dong Biao took the initiative to say: "Jiaju, the CIA people praised you; they really appreciate your efficiency! They want to cooperate with you more in the future!"

"That would require an opportunity to do so!" Chen Jiaju replied casually.

Dong Biao slapped his thigh and said: "Good, then you've agreed!"

Chen Jiaju was instantly dumbfounded: "What did I agree to?"

"You will continue to follow this case! Go to the Black Sea for a vacation, with food, entertainment, and hotels all covered." Dong Biao said with a sly smile.

"You want me to run all the way to Ukraine?" Chen Jiaju was one hundred percent unwilling on the spot.

To tell the truth, Chen Jiaju had no good feelings toward Gweilo; if it weren't for Biao Shu, he would never have touched this kind of case.

He was a member of the Serious Crimes Unit, not the International Police.

Biao Shu said helplessly: "Since it has already started, you might as well continue doing it!"

Chen Jiaju demurred: "Once I leave Hong Kong, the CIA has plenty of people; why pick me?"

Dong Biao said helplessly: "They are afraid that Natasha will become suspicious, which is why they are looking for a fresh face!"

"I'm not familiar with the place in Ukraine! I'll go for nothing. I can't do anything there." He spread his hands.

Dong Biao seemed to have anticipated this, and directly gave him a reassurance: "Don't worry, your mission this time is very simple! Just follow Natasha onto the plane and keep an eye on them during the flight. Once you arrive at the destination, just hand them over to the CIA people. It's that simple!"

Chen Jiaju was clearly fooled again: "Just keep an eye on her on the plane?"

"Yes, what else can you do on a plane?" Dong Biao said, spreading his hands.

"Is it really that simple?"

"It really is that simple! If I could go, I would have gone myself!"

Chen Jiaju still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Dong Biao: "You volunteered just now! By the way, buy me a bottle of good vodka when you come back! And a bottle of decent caviar!"

"Alright!" Chen Jiaju could only helplessly agree.

"Chen Jiaju?" A strange look appeared on Chen Jiajun's face.

Back when he killed Guan Caiba, this guy teamed up with Yang Jianhua from the Mainland.

How did he end up under the CIA's wing now?

The Information Officer explained: "I see that Chen Jiaju doesn't seem very willing to take this mission; it should have been his superior, Dong Biao, who made the call."

"Heh!" Chen Jiajun shook his head and said: "So you find a useful subordinate and work them to death, right!"

Chen Jiajun put down Chen Jiaju's file and asked: "Who are they trying to track down?"

"A Ukrainian woman named Natasha; there is no more information! After all, we haven't set up an intelligence station in the Far East yet!" The Information Officer spread his hands helplessly.

Natasha is a very common name in the Soviet Union; you could hit several Natashas with one brick.

So, knowing only such a name, there was simply no way to investigate.

However, since it wasn't aimed at him, Chen Jiajun didn't want to bother with this matter.

But what Chen Jiajun didn't expect was that retribution came too quickly.

Just as he was thinking about watching the fun, he himself became the fun.

Keziluofu called to say that the situation there had changed, seemingly because of the issue of reselling nuclear weapons in Ukraine, which had triggered a comprehensive investigation.

In any case, the point was that until the heat of this matter passed, the transaction definitely could not proceed.

Chen Jiajun was numb on the spot; the supplies he had prepared were already in a rented Warehouse, and they were supposed to be sent to the Soviet Union for the transaction at the fastest speed.

But he didn't expect such a thing to happen halfway. Now it was great: the supplies had been sent over, but the goods had not been delivered to Brunei.

Given the character of those high-ranking officials in the Soviet Union, it would be a miracle if they acknowledged the debt.

Chen Jiajun said coldly: "What does that mean? Are you saying that the agreed-upon goods won't be given?"

Keziluofu hurriedly said: "Of course that's not what I mean, it's just that no one dares to conduct transactions at this time."

Chen Jiajun sneered: "Can you ensure that after things are over, those guys above you will still honor the agreement?"

"This..." Keziluofu did not dare to guarantee this at all; after all, his own life was hanging by a thread.

Chen Jiajun laid down a harsh threat directly: "Don't think that just because you are from the Soviet Union I have no way to deal with you. I am telling you! If you take my things and don't give me the goods, I won't let you off even if you flee to Iceland! You must have investigated my identity; it really wouldn't be difficult for me to harden my heart and finish you off!"

Hearing Chen Jiajun's threatening words, Keziluofu's scalp immediately went numb.

After the business was negotiated, he had indeed sent people to investigate Chen Jiajun's identity, and after knowing that he was the Boss of a hundred-billion-level multinational corporation, he knew that offending Chen Jiajun would certainly not end well.

After all, such a wealthy Big Boss could crush people like them just by throwing money at them.

Consequently, Keziluofu hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen, please don't be agitated. Give me some time, I will go and communicate properly with my superiors; I absolutely will not let your investment go down the drain!"

Hearing Keziluofu's guarantee, Chen Jiajun let out a cold snort as an acknowledgement: "Remember your words. No one has ever dared to stiff me, Chen Jiajun! No matter who it is!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jiajun directly summoned an Information Officer: "Notify Silva to come with me to Ukraine. The intelligence network in the Far East region cannot be delayed any longer, otherwise we will be blind when the time comes!"

Hearing that Chen Jiajun was angry, his subordinate did not dare to hesitate and immediately went to notify Silva.

On the other side, Chen Jiaju was tailing Natasha onto the plane.

He was recording every move this woman made on the plane very seriously.

Because he was a new face, Natasha did not discover Chen Jiaju's presence.

The two arrived in Ukraine peacefully all the way.

Just as he got off the plane and exited Customs, Chen Jiaju saw the CIA members who had come to meet them.

"Jiaju, welcome to Ukraine," Mark from the CIA said with a smile, then pointed to the person beside him and said: "This is the Commander of the Security Department."

After the two sides shook hands, Roger asked: "Any discoveries?"

Chen Jiaju took out his notebook and said: "None, but I discovered that this woman went to the restroom eight times; it seems a bit too frequent, so I recorded all the times. During this period, she did not have any interaction with anyone!"

Mark took the notebook, nodded, and then patted Chen Jiaju on the arm, saying: "Thank you, Jiaju. Your mission ends here; now we will take over!"

Hearing this news, Chen Jiaju could not help but heave a sigh of relief: "That is truly great!"

Chen Jiaju had been ten thousand times unwilling to take on this mission abroad, and now that he heard someone was taking over, he would not have to be the scapegoat.

After arriving at an office, Mark said very generously: "I have arranged a place for you to stay, as well as a plane ticket for tomorrow! Here is some pocket money, about one billion."

"One billion?" Chen Jiaju was stunned.

However, upon seeing the denomination on the banknotes, he immediately felt at ease.

This stuff could hardly be considered money anymore; it was understandable that the denomination was so large.

Mark said with a smile: "Someone will give you a car in a moment, have a good time!"

Seeing the other party's such thoughtful arrangements, the heart that Chen Jiaju had been holding up finally settled down.

It seemed this really was a mission that couldn't have been simpler.

After Chen Jiaju left, the CIA people had already begun monitoring Natasha.

Although they did not know how this arms organization had managed it, now that they had a lead, they had to follow it closely.

The CIA people deliberately had Customs give Natasha a hard time, checking her for half an hour before letting her leave.

After this woman left the airport, she found a public phone booth at the first opportunity and dialed a number.

The CIA had long since made arrangements here and immediately began wiretapping.

But what they did not expect was that the other party was very alert; it seemed that as soon as the call connected, she discovered the situation of being wiretapped, so she directly said "wrong number" and hung up the phone.

"Damn it, we've been discovered!" Mark felt a shock in his heart and immediately ordered his subordinates to pursue Natasha, preparing to capture her first.

Unfortunately, the other party had been prepared after discovering them. Before Mark and the others could catch up, a group of military personnel snatched this woman away from the hands of the Commander of the Security Department.

"Damn..." Mark immediately felt a headache coming on. (End of chapter)
