Chapter 3315
Pete Rogers hadn't seen Ye Chen act like a lamb entering the tiger's mouth and still be so arrogant toward the tiger, so he was a bit unaccustomed at first.
He couldn't help furrowing his brow and said coldly: "I am a CIA agent, and also the person in charge of this investigation operation. Since you got on our vehicle, you must obey our arrangements! Do you think this is your living room, you can sit wherever you want?!"
Ye Chen impatiently asked him: "I just want to sit in the last row, what can you do to me? Kill me? Don't forget, even if you are really a CIA agent, you have no law enforcement authority in Japan. If you dare to lay a hand on me here, I will immediately beat you to death!"
Saying that, Ye Chen added: "Oh right, I almost forgot to remind you, I am not an American, I am Chinese! You, an American CIA, on Japanese soil, have no deterrent power against me, a Chinese person. To put it bluntly, in my eyes you don't even count as a single hair!"
Seeing Ye Chen's completely serious expression, Pete Rogers was completely stunned.
Although he had killed many people, he had never seen someone as eager to seek death as Ye Chen.
He wondered in his heart: "This guy insists on getting on the vehicle, to me it's just killing one more person and handling one more corpse, so why is he acting so arrogantly in front of me?"
However, the only problem now is to get the vehicle moving as soon as possible, we can't keep lingering here. If we really end up arguing with Ye Chen here, the whole operation will be affected.
So he could only suppress his anger and said to Ye Chen: "Fine! If you want to sit in the last row, go ahead!"
Ye Chen gave him a look of disdain and muttered: "Damn, just a lousy agent, what's there to be proud of, you still have to back down in the end?"
Ye Chen intentionally let Pete Rogers hear his muttering, which instantly made the other want to curse.
But considering the bigger picture, he still held back and didn't lash out, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Contact the vehicle from the Foreign Ministry ahead, have them send two staff members to our vehicle."
Ye Chen claimed to be a bodyguard, but Pete Rogers didn't know his true strength, so he decided to bring two ninjas along just in case.
Ye Chen ignored him and walked toward the back. Passing the second row, Tavana, who looked surprised, couldn't help but ask him: "What are you doing?! What does this have to do with you?"
Ye Chen calmly replied: "It's not your vehicle, so what business is it of yours?"
That sentence left Tavana speechless.
After all, even she is sitting in someone else's vehicle, Ye Chen willingly came along to join the fun, so she really has no right to manage him.
So Tavana thought of the only opening and said coldly: "Fine, you got on the vehicle and I can't manage you, but I want to ask you, who gave you the right to impersonate my bodyguard?!"
After saying that, Tavana gave Ye Chen a smug look as if she had him figured out, waiting for his answer.
Ye Chen was genuinely surprised, and Pete Rogers and the others were even more shocked.
They had thought Ye Chen was really Tavana's bodyguard, but they didn't expect him to be impersonating one.
This immediately made them alert, wondering what Ye Chen's motive was for sneaking onto this vehicle and even insisting on staying.
Ye Chen grabbed Tavana, raised a thumb at her, and coldly praised: "Not bad, still got to say your brain works fast."
Pete Rogers stared at Ye Chen and coldly questioned: "What exactly are you?! Since you're not Miss Svet's bodyguard, then please get off the vehicle immediately!"
Although Pete Rogers really wanted to kill Ye Chen to vent his anger, he also knew the principle that more trouble is worse than less, one Trevor already exceeded expectations, adding another Ye Chen would bring more trouble.
So if Ye Chen could get off the vehicle himself, that would be best.
Ye Chen looked at Pete Rogers, with a laid-back attitude, and said: "Alright, I won't pretend anymore, let's lay our cards on the table. I damn well suspect you this bastard aren't really a CIA agent at all, so I'm following you to see what you actually want to do. If you're not convinced, I'll have Mr. Mitsui look up some connections, call the Foreign Ministry, or call the US Embassy in Japan to confirm, what do you think?"
Pete Rogers felt his heart sink.
The events today have proceeded so smoothly up to now because my preparations were sufficient, a large number of forged documents and credentials can completely pass as genuine.
Moreover, my reasoning is also fabricated well enough, exploiting things everyone knows but doesn't speak of openly, to the point that everyone thinks it's reasonable for the CIA to investigate Tavana at this juncture.
But if Mitsui Yoshitaka were a bit more careful and called the Japanese Foreign Ministry to verify, he would quickly realize this is all just a scam.
So, just now he still wanted Ye Chen to get lost quickly, but now he absolutely dare not let Ye Chen leave this vehicle.
Thus he put on an air of disdain and said: "I have already presented all my documents and papers. If you still feel uneasy, when we arrive at the embassy and see the ambassador, you will understand everything then."
Saying that, he glanced at the time, his expression stern, and said: "Can't delay any longer, Washington is still waiting, let's depart! We'll talk more when we reach the embassy!"
Ye Chen smiled slightly, didn't continue confronting him, and instead casually said: "Since you won't let me get off, then I'll just sit in the last row."
After saying that, he looked at Tavana, smiling, and said: "Since Miss Svet's brain works so fast, why don't you analyze the current situation a bit more, you guess what I'm up to by coming on board?"
Tavana hadn't realized there was anything fishy going on, just glared at Ye Chen once, then turned her face away and ignored him completely.
Ye Chen let out a hum of laughter, then continued walking forward, passed the third row, and sat in the right-side first-class seat in the last row.
At this moment, two young men got out of the Foreign Ministry vehicle ahead, immediately boarded this Toyota minivan, and Pete Rogers then said to one of them: "Go to the last row, keep an eye on that man, make sure he doesn't interfere with our investigation work."
That man furrowed his brow, understood the meaning in Pete Rogers' words, once he uses 'must' in such an unquestionable way toward someone, it means he must kill that person to avoid any uncontrollable factors.
Given the original plan was to kill Tavana, he thus realized that if others move against Tavana, he must simultaneously act to eliminate Ye Chen.
So he immediately said: "Okay, Agent Rogers, I understand."
Pete Rogers nodded, then said to the other: "You take my seat, I'll take the passenger seat."
Pete Rogers himself is not really a master, he is a professionally trained assassin, so his combat power mostly needs hot weapons to be demonstrated.
And for this operation, his superiors didn't allow him to use force directly, so he came up with this scheme, planning to take Tavana away and deal with her openly and honorably without using a single soldier or firing a single bullet.
However, to prepare for emergencies, he hid a loaded pistol under the passenger seat, so that if an emergency arises requiring the pistol, he can take it out, disengage the safety, and fire immediately.
Originally, if Ye Chen hadn't gotten on the vehicle, he planned to sit in the first row to closely watch Tavana and Trevor being poisoned to death, but now with an uncontrollable factor added, he had the ninja sit in the first row as backup, while he went to the passenger seat, partly to be closer to the gun, partly to maximize distance from Ye Chen to fully exploit the advantage of hot weapons, and besides, with three rows and six people in between, if there really is any danger, he would be the one in the least danger.
After arranging the personnel, Pete Rogers told the driver: "Alright, depart as soon as possible, Washington is still waiting."
The driver nodded, started the engine, and slowly accelerated away.
Pete Rogers' plan for his subordinates was: as long as the vehicle smoothly leaves the dome, immediately act to kill the people, to avoid complications over time.
The reason to act after leaving the dome is fear that if the Mitsui family stops the convoy, everything would still not be exposed.
Once the vehicle leaves the dome, it will be on Tokyo's municipal roads, then the Mitsui family cannot stop it even if they try, so acting then is the best timing.
After acting, the vehicle will immediately head to Yokohama, where we have already prepared a reception at a funeral home, upon arrival the bodies will be immediately pushed into the same cremator as a solitary elderly person originally scheduled for cremation this afternoon.
That solitary elderly person died of illness in a nursing home, the local government and welfare department paid for his cremation and simple burial service, since he had no relatives present, no outsiders will be around during cremation, Tavana and the old man will be burned together, part of the ashes will be given to welfare department staff, the rest will be crushed and flushed into the sewer, so even if Tavana completely disappears from this world, no one will be able to find any clues.
But now the thorny issue has arisen: originally the cremator was meant to burn two corpses, now it has to burn four, whether it can fit them all is really a troublesome matter.
So he immediately picked up his phone and sent a message to his superior, informing him that the situation has changed, later the number of corpses to be processed has increased from Tavana alone to three.
After receiving the message, the other party exploded in rage and replied: "You fucking braindead? Come see for yourself if that broken cremator can fucking fit four people? Two already have to go one above the other, how am I supposed to burn four?"
Pete Rogers replied: "That's your problem, I'll later send you three corpses, you fucking burn them however you want."
The other party angrily replied: "Gofuckyourself!"
That means, roughly: go fuck yourself.
At this very moment, Ye Chen, sitting in the last row, watched the ninja beside him who had been constantly alert, observing him out of the corner of his eye, and was analyzing the current situation in his mind.
If they really were to make a move, none of these people would be a match for him.
But he had to ensure that, while dealing with these people, he kept Tavana and Trevor alive.
Otherwise, his wife, full of anticipation, had come to see the concert, but before it even began, the singer was assassinated—such a thing happening to anyone would become a psychological shadow…
