Mercenary’s War

Chapter 2299 - 2275: Predicament

Li Jinfang swiftly pulled out his pistol and aimed it at Joseph, and with a series of clicks, at least five more pistols were pointed at Joseph.

Glolov squinted his eyes, holding his pistol horizontally, looking Joseph up and down, while Joseph sat calmly on the sofa without moving.

Gao Yang waved his hand helplessly and said, "It’s not him, stop guessing randomly, the traitor might be Taylor!"

There was an uproar, then everyone except Gao Yang and Joseph said in unison, "Impossible!"

Gao Yang also thought it was impossible, he said sternly, "I think it’s unlikely too, but we’ve received information, we’d better treat it cautiously, I..."

Glolov looked at Gao Yang and said, "There’s no reason for it, what reason does Taylor have to betray us? Frankly, I’ve seen plenty of betrayals; for mercenaries, betrayal is just a common occurrence. But if Taylor is the traitor, how could we still be alive?"

Gao Yang suddenly stopped; he thought it was impossible for Taylor to betray, but then he suddenly thought of himself.

Gao Yang believed he would never betray Yelena, but just yesterday, he had betrayed Yelena. Maybe he hadn’t intended to betray, but if the situation developed such that he had to, or if it was just a momentary impulse, a moment of confusion, resulting in the wrong choice.

For a moment, Gao Yang wasn’t so sure, but when he thought about Taylor again, he regained some confidence.

Betraying Yelena was an affair, but if Taylor betrayed, it wasn’t just a personal matter or a matter of emotion; it concerned the lives of many people, and Taylor was definitely aware of that, so he couldn’t betray.

Taking a deep breath, Gao Yang said to Joseph, "This is none of your business, step aside."

Joseph immediately stood up, opened the door, and walked out.

After Joseph went out, Gao Yang slowly said, "I don’t think Taylor could betray, but if he did, we have to prepare for the worst. Get the ultimate weapon ready; that’s our only chance to escape safely. Big Dog, I’m going to give the orders, but be ready to replace me if needed."

Glolov put away his gun and said, "Understood."

Gao Yang looked at Cui Bo and said, "Murphy called me, he said we have a mole, their inside line at the CIA detected some interaction between Taylor and CIA personnel. Coincidentally, Taylor is coming to see us this afternoon, and he should have been staying home. Too many coincidences aren’t coincidences. Whether Taylor has betrayed or not, something has definitely happened. Rabbit, why do you know that Taylor is coming?"

Cui Bo replied blankly, "I called him, I called Lucica to ask about the kids’ gun situation, and then talked about Taylor with Lucica, so I called Taylor too. That was yesterday afternoon, and he said we would meet this afternoon, and we would talk about it at the usual place. I didn’t even ask what it was about."

Gao Yang frowned and said, "That’s all? Did he hint something he couldn’t say openly?"

Cui Bo scratched his head and said, "No, I would’ve heard if he hinted something."

"Did he say where to meet?"

"He did, he said at the usual place."

Gao Yang clapped his hands angrily and said, "Idiot, ’usual place’ is a hint because we definitely don’t have a usual meeting place with Taylor in New York! And did you mention New York?"

Cui Bo was stunned and said, "No, ah, I called him with my phone, could it be tracked?"

Gao Yang urgently asked, "What phone?"

Cui Bo quickly said, "Our internal communication phone, didn’t use any other."

Gao Yang sighed in relief and said, "That’s good, that’s good, can’t track that. Cleaners have this capability, as long as it’s the phone they provided."

Li Jinfang said solemnly, "We never met Taylor in New York saying ’usual place’ is definitely not right!"

Frey swallowed and said, "Could it be our home, the old apartment?"

"Impossible! That’s not the usual place either, if he meant home, he would say at home, there’s definitely a problem."

Gao Yang finished firmly, then puzzled, said, "What’s Taylor trying to say?"

Cui Bo said softly, "If there was something to say, why not tell you directly?"

Gao Yang shook his head and said, "I guess he’s already being monitored. He knows, but he’s pretending not to be aware of it. Think about it, if he had colluded with others, he would’ve actively called me. But he didn’t because he didn’t want our call to be monitored. When Rabbit called, he was subtly expressing he was being monitored while letting us find a safe place to shake off any tails, so he could have the chance to say everything."

Glolov said darkly, "It’s all just a guess."

Gao Yang sighed and said, "We’ll know after testing, Toad."

Li Jinfang immediately said, "What’s up?"

"Can you talk to Eliza, have her use a VoIP call to call Taylor with a voice changer to create a fake voice. We must set our call’s IP in a secure location; hmm, where should we set it."

Gao Yang thought for a moment, then wagged his finger and said, "This place is crucial. Let me think, set it in a place with no connection to us. No, set it in a place that can deflect attention! Saudi Arabia! Have Eliza set the IP address in Riyadh!"

Li Jinfang whispered, "I’ll go right away, call you when it’s set."

Soon, just a few minutes later, the group moved from Gao Yang’s house to Little Donnie’s house, while Joseph was still at the door.

Facing a computer microphone, Gao Yang looked at Li Jinfang and asked, "Is it ready?"

Li Jinfang looked at Eliza, and whispered, "Ready?"

Eliza, with her head down, nodded almost imperceptibly. Li Jinfang then said, "It’s all set."

Gao Yang took a deep breath, then clicked the dial button on the computer with his mouse. After a while, Taylor’s voice came through the headset.

"Hello, who is this?"

"It’s Hydra, where are you?"

"Uh, uh, I’m at home, Boss."

As soon as Taylor spoke, Gao Yang felt relieved because Taylor was cooperating with him. Moreover, Taylor told Cui Bo they’d meet at the usual place, but he hasn’t left for New York. So it’s basically confirmed, Taylor hasn’t betrayed, but he’s in trouble.

Gao Yang immediately said indifferently, "Listen, I have something for you to do. I’ll give you a coordinate later, go to the coordinate and meet someone, take something from them and deliver it to Riyadh. Get ready, I’ll give you the coordinates later."

After speaking, Gao Yang immediately hung up and then said urgently, "Taylor hasn’t betrayed, but he’s definitely in trouble, quick, find a place to help him lose his tail!"

Frey said softly, "You mentioned Hydra. Are you sure you want to pass this problem to Iron Madonna?"

Gao Yang urgently said, "I didn’t intend for Iron Madonna to take the blame, just diverting attention. Quick, find a safe place; we must pull Taylor out of the quandary."
