Mercenary’s War

Chapter 2302 - 2278: Nuclear Submarine

Conspiracy, another conspiracy, call it stirring the grass to alert the snake, or letting a long line to catch a big fish, in short, it’s a conspiracy.

Gao Yang looked at Murphy, Murphy looked at Gao Yang, and then they both couldn’t help but laugh simultaneously.

The two laughed particularly happily, for a simple reason: Taylor was caught by the CIA or was simply shot to death, which was what Gao Yang feared the most.

If the CIA had directly detained Taylor, started interrogations, began tortures, and tried to destroy Taylor, that was what Murphy feared the most.

But the CIA deliberately let Taylor become nervous, that’s called stirring the grass to alert the snake, and then monitoring Taylor to see who he contacts, that’s letting a long line to catch a big fish.

Actually, it’s a common and clichéd tactic, but also a very effective one. You can’t say the CIA is wrong, knowing Taylor’s background, unable to ensure Taylor will speak, and unable to ensure they’ll capture him alive, they simply stir the grass to alert the snake, then let a long line to catch a big fish. This strategy can’t be said to be wrong.

But there might be problems with the long line to catch a big fish approach.

Letting out a small fish as bait, intending to catch a big fish, but ending up catching a nuclear submarine instead, now what are you supposed to do?

Just Satan, that’s like catching a big shark, the CIA might be able to handle that, but catching Satan along with the cleaners means the CIA has caught a nuclear submarine this time.

The CIA can be considered an aircraft carrier-level behemoth, but those designing against Taylor can only be considered people holding fishing rods. No matter how big the carrier is, those fishing on it can still be dragged into the water.

So, the problem becomes simple.

"Jason, come in."

A person who had been watching Taylor walked in, and Murphy immediately asked, "Were there company people following you when you picked him up?"

"Yes, two."

"Did you shake them off?"

"Yes."

Murphy rubbed his bald head again, pondering, "Only two?"

"We only spotted two."

Murphy glanced at Taylor, then looked at his men, and finally at Gao Yang, suddenly saying, "There shouldn’t be a problem letting him be bait again, right?"

Gao Yang asked, "You mean? To lure out the company people and take them down? Is it necessary?"

Murphy nodded, "Yes, I’m not sure how many people the company sent, but I feel it’s definitely more than two. We might as well take them all out here, I hate dealing with company people."

What Murphy referred to as the company was the CIA, because a nickname for the CIA is company. Gao Yang called it the CIA, but Murphy habitually called it the company.

Gao Yang looked at Taylor, saying, "That’s possible, but can you be sure?"

Murphy sneered, waving his hand dismissively, "Do you know how much effort and cost we’ve invested into your exposed buddy here?"

Gao Yang pointed at himself, saying, "I’ll go with Taylor, I mean with your people. You know what I’m capable of, I can help."

Murphy gestured at Gao Yang, indicating he doesn’t need to interfere, then said to Taylor, "Go with them, do what they say."

After giving Taylor a command, Murphy looked at the person he called in, saying, "Find a place to take them down, choose an appropriate location, company people might mobilize reconnaissance satellites and drones, those guys have endless resources, f**k, I really hate them."

"I think inside a building is better, but it might take some time, certainly can’t act at the airport, too many cameras."

Murphy nodded, saying, "Do we have people in the bureau?"

"Only you and Cook."

"Let Cook stay, you go handle it."

After saying that, Murphy turned to Gao Yang, "If you go, we still have to protect and hide you, just stay here with me and don’t cause trouble for the guys downstairs."

Gao Yang looked at Taylor, a bit hesitant, then Taylor nodded, saying to Gao Yang, "Boss, wait here for my news."

Gao Yang waved his hand, saying, "Go, be careful, I’ll wait for you here."

Taylor followed the others out, and after the door closed, Murphy sat on the bed with a cheerful expression, laughing, "Are you still worried I’ll get rid of Taylor?"

Gao Yang shook his head, saying, "No, I’m just naturally worried about him, after all, being bait is a high-risk job."

Murphy exhaled, saying, "Taylor is safe, but not really safe, you understand what I mean, right?"

Gao Yang pulled over the chair Taylor was sitting in earlier, sat facing Murphy, and said solemnly, "Taylor can never return to America again, he has to disappear from this world. I’m thinking of ways to let him live under a new identity."

Murphy nodded, "The way to make someone never speak again is to kill him, whether active or passive, he can’t open his mouth again, but you won’t use this method. I won’t force you, Ram, you’re an S-level client, you have the right to speak, but, if Taylor gets exposed in the company’s sight again, we’ll all have trouble. This time, I choose to respect you, but you also need to respect me, respect us."

Gao Yang said solemnly, "There won’t be a next time."

Murphy smiled, "Good, I’ll take that as your promise."

Gao Yang squeezed his hand, saying, "Do you have any ideas to help Taylor disappear without any risk?"

Murphy shrugged, "That’s your problem, not mine. You’ve already promised, so you just need to find a way to keep that promise, don’t leave everything to me to handle, I’m very busy."

Gao Yang sighed helplessly, saying, "Alright, I’ll find a way, I have experts. By the way, you came out still with bureau people? You’re directly using bureau people to handle personal matters, isn’t that too much?"

Like the CIA’s nickname is company, the FBI also has its own nickname, which is bureau. Since Murphy is willing to call himself part of the bureau in front of his subordinates to avoid the FBI term, Gao Yang naturally followed suit.

Murphy smiled, "Thanks to Hoover, our influence in the bureau is quite large."

Casually revealed, Murphy uncovered an important piece of information about the cleaners, that is, they’ve infiltrated the FBI even more extensively, far more than the CIA, thanks to the first director of the FBI, Edgar Hoover.

After saying that, Murphy lay down on the bed, took a long breath, and said loudly, "The bed is still comfortable, hey, do you want to go sleep in the next room? I’m not used to sleeping in the same room with another man."

Gao Yang replied helplessly, "You can’t be serious, you slept the whole way on the plane and you’re still going to sleep?"

Murphy closed his eyes, saying softly, "I said I’m very busy, now’s a good time to rest, we don’t even know how long we’ll have to wait, and I’m not in the mood to chat. So go to sleep, when it’s done I’ll call you."

Gao Yang said urgently, "No, wait, there’s something very important I still need to discuss with you!"
