Chapter 399: Talking Big Business

Chen Jiajun can understand that the KGB is on guard against him.

After all, the things Chen Jiajun is seeking are not ordinary trinkets.

It is not that they cannot be sold, but it is still somewhat taboo for Chen Jiajun to purchase them privately.

Otherwise, the people from the KGB would not have needed to use this method to test Chen Jiajun at all.

It was only after seeing that Chen Jiajun truly had no interest in this Uranium Core that the people from the KGB finally appeared.

Otherwise, the KGB would only have shown up once Chen Jiajun and the FSB were fighting to the death.

Now it is all good; it is a win-win situation to a certain extent.

Chen Jiajun said to Xu Jie, "Look, isn't it resolved now?"

Xu Jie suddenly felt a sense of being unable to laugh or cry: "Then what about me?"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "It doesn't matter; I still have a business deal to conduct with the KGB next! You just need to keep the Uranium Core in your own hands!"

Colonel Kade did not know that the KGB had already laid a dragnet, and he still brought a large number of his subordinates to the door directly.

Looking at their aggressive posture, it seemed they intended to root out Chen Jiajun and the others completely.

Only, upon arriving at the scene, the three of them—Chen Jiajun, Chen Jiaju, and Xu Jie—were drinking tea, looking as if they did not take Colonel Kade seriously at all.

This behavior made Colonel Kade so angry that his nose was crooked: "Are you all prepared to wait for death?"

Chen Jiajun said indifferently, "I wonder if you know the insect called a spider!"

Kade frowned and said, "What are you trying to say? Stalling for time?"

Chen Jiajun smiled and ignored him, continuing instead: "The spider is a top-tier hunter among insects. Even if its prey is trapped in the web, it will not rush to strike! It will only run over to enjoy its prey once the prey has exhausted itself struggling!"

Kade immediately looked at Chen Jiajun with vigilance: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Chen Jiajun sneered with disdain: "Do you still not realize that you are a prey struggling in vain?"

"You're courting death!" Kade shouted suddenly and roared directly at his subordinates: "Kill them for me!"

Unfortunately, the FSB, who usually obeyed Kade's every word, did not move a muscle at this moment.

They stood behind Colonel Kade, dazed like wooden stakes.

Colonel Kade said with an expression of disbelief: "What are you doing? Did you not hear my order?"

"Because they will not listen to your orders anymore! Traitor Kade!"

Romanov walked out from the darkness and stood in front of Kade, saying coldly.

"You..." Kade's eyes widened instantly: "You are from the KGB!"

Romanov said coldly, "Traitor Kade, you are now under arrest. Come back to Moscow with me to stand trial!"

Kade's face changed drastically; he finally understood what Chen Jiajun meant by suddenly bringing up spiders.

This spider metaphor was not about him, Kade, nor was it about Chen Jiajun; it was the KGB that had already been lurking! No wonder this Chen Jiajun dared to openly fall out with him; it turned out he had known all along that the KGB was taking action! "Damn it!" Kade had once been a member of the KGB himself, otherwise, he would have had no way to create this thing called the FSB based on the KGB.

He had been too careless, thinking he had done everything flawlessly, but little did he know he had long been targeted by the KGB.

Years of living in luxury had made him forget his vigilance, which is why he was struck down in one blow.

This matter actually had little to do with Chen Jiajun, Chen Jiaju, or Xu Jie; from the very beginning, the KGB's target was him!

Kade felt as bitter as if he had swallowed a piece of coptis root.

Facing the betrayal of his former subordinates and the aggressive pressure from the KGB, Kade drew his service pistol, wanting to die right there.

Unfortunately, since things had reached this point, neither the KGB nor Chen Jiajun would let him die so easily.

Dumu, who was beside Chen Jiajun, threw the fork in his hand, striking Kade directly on the wrist.

After hitting the nerve, the gun in Kade's hand dropped immediately.

Subsequently, those FSB subordinates of his swarmed up and captured Kade directly.

Romanov nodded at Chen Jiajun and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen. Shall we set off back to Moscow now?"

"Of course, no problem. This matter must have an explanation," Chen Jiajun nodded and said.

"But before that, the Uranium Core..." Romanov said with concern.

Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said, "That is out of the question. I don't trust you, this KGB agent. Your words only represent yourself and cannot represent anyone else!"

Romanov said coldly, "What do you mean? Do you want to go back on your word?"

Chen Jiajun said with disdain, "I would go back on my word? I can only say you don't understand me. Once I meet with the Admiral of the Security Committee, the Uranium Core will naturally be sent back to Moscow, but not now! I don't trust you, and I don't trust the KGB!"

Chen Jiajun made his stance clear: the KGB was not qualified to negotiate with him; if there was to be a negotiation, it would be with the Admiral of the Security Committee! Seeing Chen Jiajun bring out the Security Committee, Romanov could only grit his teeth and say, "Fine, fine! Then let's return to Moscow first!"

Chen Jiajun gave Xu Jie a wink, then took everyone to board a plane directly to Moscow! On the plane, Chen Jiaju finally understood the ins and outs of the situation, but he was still unclear about the role Xu Jie had played in it.

Now that everything had settled, he finally could not help but ask: "What exactly is your relationship with Kade!"

Xu Jie glanced at the Agent Romanov beside him and said, "Three years ago, I was helping the CIA investigate military intelligence on nuclear weapons in Ukraine, and later I was discovered by the KGB, who captured my girlfriend, Natasha! They threatened me that they would kill her!"

"After they caught me, they forced me to become a double agent. For Natasha's sake, I had no choice but to agree to them!"

Chen Jiaju saw that Romanov's expression was very ugly, but he still asked: "That KGB agent was Kade?"

"Correct!" Xu Jie sneered, then said to Chen Jiaju: "He is now the boss of the Soviet Mafia!"

Although the two did not comment on the KGB, Romanov looked as if he had been insulted, glaring fiercely at them.

Chen Jiajun deliberately provoked Romanov, sneering: "Why are you staring at them like that? You did it, yet you don't allow people to talk about it?" Romanov gritted his teeth and said, "That was all Kade's doing!"

"So what? Kade was KGB before!" Chen Jiajun spread his hands and said: "I haven't finished yet! How did this guy Kade operate afterwards?"

Xu Jie said indifferently, "How else could he operate? He used the authority of the FSB to buy and sell nuclear weapons himself, then handed them over to those people in the Middle East in exchange for oil profits!"

Hearing Xu Jie's words, Romanov could not help but say, "What kind of good stuff is your CIA? For the sake of oil trades, how many things have they done? You only know how to gild your own faces!"

Chen Jiajun laughed: "Alright, alright! You two are six of one and half a dozen of the other. But preventing nuclear weapons from leaking out is a massive merit after all! Xu Jie, you can also get rid of the CIA's control; it can be considered a win-win for everyone!"

Chen Jiajun had to stop the two of them, otherwise, they would surely have started fighting on the plane.

Because of a special pass, Chen Jiajun's private jet soon landed at the Moscow airport.

After notifying the people from the Security Committee, they headed directly to Red Square.

Inside an office, Chen Jiajun brought everyone to meet the Admiral of the Security Committee.

Looking at the detained Kade, the Admiral said coldly, "Your actions make us feel disgraced!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and military police took Kade away.

Subsequently, the Admiral said to Chen Jiajun, "I have heard about your affairs, Mr. Chen! I express my gratitude to you on behalf of Moscow, and of course, to Mr. Chen Jiaju as well!"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "You are too kind, Admiral! This is something we should have done."

"This is Mr. Xu Jie, correct? I heard you used to be with the CIA?" The Admiral glanced at Xu Jie and said, "Are you interested in working for the KGB?"

Xu Jie shook his head: "I don't want to do this kind of thing anymore."

The Admiral said indifferently, "You know, once you enter this line of work, there is no turning back!"

The Admiral was absolutely right; whether Xu Jie joined the CIA or the KGB, there was no turning back. Even if he had retrieved the Uranium Core and handed it over to Moscow, no one would trust him! When the time came, both the CIA and the KGB would come to cause him trouble; wanting a stable life for the rest of his life was just wishful thinking! Xu Jie's face was full of bitterness; he knew this would be the result.

However, for the sake of his younger sister and his father, he intended to sacrifice himself to secure peace for them.

But at this moment, Chen Jiajun suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Admiral, let us make a deal!"

The Admiral looked at Chen Jiajun and said, "Mr. Chen, I know you are a businessman, but this kind of matter..."

"Actually, Xu Jie has already agreed to join our Security Company, so strictly speaking, he is my man now!" Chen Jiajun said with a smile.

The Admiral looked at Chen Jiajun with great interest and said, "Mr. Chen, do you know what this implies?"

"I am very clear on that! But I am also confident that I can protect him!" Chen Jiajun said with a smile.

Xu Jie looked at Chen Jiajun in surprise: "Mr. Chen, you..."

Chen Jiajun waved his hand to tell him not to speak, then said to the Admiral, "We helped you retrieve the nuclear warhead that was being trafficked; this merit should be enough, right!"

The Admiral was silent for a moment, then said, "Very well, but I cannot control whether anyone else comes to cause him trouble!"

"Of course, that is our own business!" Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "We have finished discussing this business; there is another matter!"

The Admiral raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? What other matter is there?"

Chen Jiajun said indifferently, "I need a batch of equipment; I have already discussed this with Keziluofu! However, I am not purchasing it in a private capacity, but as an ambassador of Brunei to discuss this matter with you. What do you think?"

"Brunei?" The Admiral immediately became interested: "The small South Asian country that just broke away from the England colony two years ago?"

"Correct!" Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "I believe that when countries do business with each other, there is no need to be secretive!"

Xu Jie's matter was just a side dish, while the big business Chen Jiajun really wanted to discuss with this Admiral was something else entirely.

As for external pressure? Chen Jiajun did not believe the pressure would be on his side.

Had they not seen those guys in the Soviet Union selling nuclear warheads like cabbages? If they really wanted to cause trouble, they wouldn't be able to find their way to him!

The Admiral and Chen Jiajun talked in the office for nearly two hours and finally reached an agreement.

Chen Jiajun would use Hong Kong as a platform to transport some daily necessities needed by the Soviet Union.

And the Soviet side would send experts to Brunei to conduct inspections and "gift" certain national defense supplies.

Unlike the private transaction with Keziluofu, this kind of open and above-board interaction left no room for anyone to pick any faults in the procedure.

After all, the Soviet Union had already started selling airplanes to other countries for a living; in reality, they did not have much of a choice.

After the business was settled, Chen Jiajun took the others and prepared to leave.

Xu Jie looked at Chen Jiajun with gratitude and said, "Mr. Chen, thank you so much just now."

Xu Jie did not want to engage in spy work anymore; if it weren't for Chen Jiajun vouching for him just now, he estimated he would have died in Moscow.

Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me; thank yourself for the decision you made! However, that Admiral just now was absolutely right; although neither the KGB nor the CIA will trouble you now, have you thought about the future?"

"I..." A conflicted expression appeared on Xu Jie's face.

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "Why not work for Brunei! Although Brunei is not large, it is a country after all; protecting you and your family's safety should not be a problem."

Xu Jie was stunned: "Brunei?"

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "Correct, you don't have to answer me now; wait until you go to Brunei to see for yourself before deciding!"

Xu Jie was a talent; this was something Silva highly agreed with.

To be scouted by the CIA two years after graduation, it was clearly impossible without some real skills.

Chen Jiajun had long since had the intention to recruit him, which was why he said this.

Since the words had reached this point, Xu Jie found it hard to refuse again and planned to follow Chen Jiajun back to Brunei to take a look. (End of chapter)
