Chapter 238 Sincere Invitation
The presidential guard provides security. For this treatment, Gao Yi can only say that it is great to have money.
Of course, I was just going to the Elysee Palace for temporary refuge, and I wasn't really invited to be a guest, so I didn't expect there to be any welcome ceremony or anything like that.
After the operation, I got into the ambulance and, protected by a long motorcade, headed to the Elysée Palace in a public and yet low-key manner.
The Elysée Palace is very lively tonight because the president is speaking.
Why are you talking? Because France should have suffered a major terrorist attack. However, with the resistance of several heroic police officers, the timely support of many colleagues, and the wise command of Deputy Interior Minister Bruno Le Maire, the gang was annihilated.
A terrorist who brazenly attacked a police station to rescue his captured comrades.
As the three heroes in this incident, of course George and the others had to show their faces to receive cheers.
Three police officers attended the press conference in the front hall. Gao Yi and the others were quietly sent to an inconspicuous annex building in the Elysee Palace and settled.
It's just a large single room with a few beds and no air conditioning.
The most annoying thing is that the bed is made of cardboard.
"The French are very stingy. Given this condition, fortunately you won't be here for too long."
Abdullah also comforted Gao Yi with a few words.
Abdullah also came with people. He brought four agents from the National Security Agency to provide personal protection for Gao Yi and the others. The most important thing now is that Saudi Arabia will protect them to the end. As for the real security measures,
Actually it's not that important.
Not long after Gao Yi and the others were settled in, the person in charge of the matter from France came to visit them.
There was a knock on the door, Abdullah's men opened the door, and a woman in her forties walked into Gao Yi's temporary lounge with her head held high.
When she entered the door, she frowned and looked at the environment in the room. A look of dissatisfaction appeared on the face of this short-haired woman.
"Marina Atta, intelligence director of the Counterintelligence Department of the French Directorate-General for External Security."
Introduce yourself, speak quickly and clearly, and then the whole person looks capable and neat.
After introducing herself, Marina nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "I apologize to you on behalf of those incompetent bureaucrats for the stupid things they did. This matter should not be so complicated, but it has happened, and we will try our best to make up for it."
First introduce, then apologize. This French woman is very straightforward and really refuses to be sloppy at all.
Abdullah had obviously dealt with this Marina. His face was slightly complicated and he whispered: "Okay."
"I am responsible for your safety. Let me briefly introduce the situation. We pay great attention to the movements of the CIA, but so far, we have not found any actions by the CIA. This is somewhat abnormal."
Without a word of nonsense, she went straight to the topic. After saying that the CIA had not made any changes, Marina did not give others a chance to speak and said directly: "There are two possibilities. One is that the CIA has not been authorized, and the other is that the CIA has not had time to proceed.
Which action? I personally prefer the latter."
Abdullah said with some confusion: "Is it possible that the CIA is temporarily unable to take any action?"
Marina immediately said: "I don't know if you have any information."
To be honest, it's not appropriate, but concealing the truth would not be conducive to future development.
Abdullah hesitated for a moment and said: "What happened tonight was originally caused by the CIA. They may really not be able to launch any actions again."
"Impossible. The CIA has far more people in Paris than the ones you killed. I admire your combat effectiveness and am curious about how you did it. But unfortunately, Paris is an international metropolis and the intelligence center of Europe.
The CIA is stronger in Paris than you think."
Confidently and politely refuted Abdullah's naive idea.
Marina continued: "You must move, because staying in France is the source of danger. For the purpose of destroying cooperation, killing you is obviously the most direct way to destroy cooperation. His Highness the Prince said that your safety is directly related to
Whether cooperation can continue, but this gives the Americans the most direct goal."
Abdullah didn't know what to say, he was not that kind of intelligent agent.
Gao Yi said: "Then where should we go?"
The implication of Marina's words is that she doesn't want to be in France anymore and can go anywhere.
Marina said calmly: "Rest first and wait until the injured are out of danger. Then I will send you wherever you want to go. You can stay in the swimming pool first."
Gao Yi said in surprise: "Swimming pool?"
"Pool is the name for the Directorate General of Foreign Intelligence."
After explaining her verbal habits, Marina continued: "In the swimming pool, your safety can be absolutely guaranteed. The French intelligence community and the Saudi intelligence community are very penetrated by the United States, just like a sieve. This is an unavoidable fact.
But I can guarantee that, at least within the scope of my leadership, leaks of secrets can be absolutely eliminated and absolute security can be guaranteed."
Too confident.
Gao Yi doesn't like people who speak too absolutely, because in his impression, people who speak too absolutely are often braggadocios who are often unreliable in reality.
But Marina is different. Maybe her overall image feels good and can move people's hearts.
"OK."
Gao Yi agreed immediately.
Marina looked at her watch, and then she said calmly: "The press conference is about to end. I have to clean up the mess and prepare sufficient evidence for the script they made up. If you have any requirements, you can tell me."
Gao Yi couldn't help but said: "Those three police officers, they... are heroes, right?"
"Yes, the country needs them. They must be heroes, not hostages taken by you."
It seemed that Marina knew everything, but it didn't matter, after all, she didn't expect to be able to hide it from anyone.
Gao Yi is not a person who cares about the past and the past. He whispered: "Then what good will they do?"
Marina thought for a while and said: "This is the arrangement of the Ministry of Interior, not my job scope, but I can express my personal opinion, that is, this country needs heroes. Since heroes have been created, so as long as they do not commit any crime for the rest of their lives,
What a big mistake, then you can be sure that it will be wonderful."
Gao Yi looked at Abdullah, who understood and said, "Is it okay if we give them money?"
Marina frowned, and Gao Yi quickly said: "I promised to give them money. After all, it helped a lot, but I don't want any bad consequences to happen because I gave them money."
Marina took a breath and said: "Two policemen are about to retire, and one is a young policeman. For people who are about to retire, money is indeed very important. I can promise that the General Administration of Foreign Intelligence will not supervise their financial status.
But I have no control over other departments."
After finishing speaking, Marina spread her hands and said: "From my personal point of view, I actually despise their behavior, but I understand it."
Abdullah suddenly said: "We will pay the money, but you will distribute it, how about it?"
Marina said without hesitation: "This is a matter for the Ministry of the Interior. I can coordinate it, but I can't promise it."
Abdullah said: "Then you think of a way. What we promised must be done."
Abdullah didn't understand why Gao Yi still asked the three policemen. In his opinion, it would be better to just give the money to them. At worst, it would be better to send someone to each family to send one million euros in cash.
At best, this matter is just a matter of giving an order, and Abdullah does not need to do it himself anyway.
But since Gao Yi brought it up, he had to try his best to solve it on the spot and force the General Administration of Foreign Intelligence to give an explanation.
But Gao Yi followed closely: "Can their safety be guaranteed? After all, this matter is very troublesome. I'm worried that they will be retaliated against."
Money was secondary. What Gao Yi was afraid of was that the CIA or the Andek Group would kill George and the others just to vent their anger.
Marina said: "I will coordinate with the Ministry of Interior and convey your attitude to them, so that the Ministry of Interior may give them more substantial benefits instead of just honors. Then you don't have to worry about safety. I
I believe no one will take the risk of offending France by harming three useless policemen who became national heroes because of their luck. In the end."
Marina looked at Gao Yi and said seriously: "I learned what happened from their mouths, the real story, and then I had doubts about the scene they described, because in their description you were a superman, simply
Tell me, for my visit this time, simple communication is not necessary, verification of my doubts is the main thing."
It turns out that Marina was attracted by Gao Yi.
After a pause, Marina finally said: "You don't look like a superman."
"I'm not Superman either."
Gao Yi likes to be in the limelight, but he will never do so in front of a counter-intelligence spy chief.
Marina continued quietly: "When I see you, I think of someone."
"oh?"
"The killer who killed Diso, plus her, I can basically confirm now."
Marina pointed at Lucy who was lying unconscious on the bed, and then she said in a deep voice: "In other words, you have no secrets in front of me now."
Gao Yi was frightened when he heard this.
Marina continued: "I know something about the dark web, and I think you are very similar to the person who killed Diso, so I checked some relevant information and found an interesting fact."
Gao Yi was really starting to get scared now. He whispered: "What?"
"The mission to assassinate Disso was completed by the garden. You are the killer of the garden, and you are also the sky garden. These are public clues. People who are familiar with the dark web can connect these clues and draw conclusions as long as they pay a little attention.
, you, the darknet code name is Bu San, but you are also a gardener."
After finishing speaking, Marina spread her hands and said: "The hanging garden after the garden, the new gardener after the death of the gardener, am I right?"
Gao Yi said without changing his expression: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"If you pretend to be confused, there will be no discussion. I can share my findings on the dark web. As you know, intelligence agencies from various countries are actually operating on the dark web."
Gao Yi couldn't help but said: "You threaten me."
"Not a threat."
She said it was not a threat, but Marina still took a step back. Then she stared into Gao Yi's eyes and said, "It's just an invitation. We don't have any conflict of interest with the garden. There is only the possibility of cooperation. If you are willing to go to the swimming pool and ask me
Show me why you are Superman and I will keep this secret for you."
After saying that, Marina smiled and said: "I sincerely invite you, Mr. Gardener."
Can I still refuse? It seems that I can't. If I can't, then I can agree.
Gao Yi whispered: "When."
"Tomorrow, I'll pick you up, so see you tomorrow."
After waving her hands, Marina turned and left.
A man came here, said some scary words in a hurry, and left in a hurry. This woman did things very simply, whether it was threats or inducements, she just said what she had to say and did it directly, unlike those French men who did things slowly and haphazardly.
of.
Watching Marina close the door and leave, Gao Yi couldn't help but said: "You are right, men are like women, and women are like men."
Abdullah sighed and said: "Marina Atta, she is quite famous and recognized by the industry. If the French Foreign Intelligence Service lets her take charge, it will be troublesome."
Chapter completed!
