World War I

Chapter 163 The Place Where the Hole is Dug

Of course, Knuckles wanted to capture the Super Soldier and kill him, he wanted that more than anyone else, but so far, there was no information about the Super Soldier, and all that could be collected were from the past.

I don't know what identity this guy is hiding under, but one thing is certain at the moment: he must be hiding in the Krasno County area, working in unison with Product No. 1.

Before he knew it, Knuckles fell asleep in his office chair, and when he woke up, it was daybreak.

Dr. Aya ran from the town to the county police station.

"You ran all this way just to deliver breakfast?"

"It has a lunch box with thermal insulation function. Dad, did you sleep in the office all night again?"

"Yes."

The atmosphere between the father and daughter became tense after they had barely exchanged a few words.

"You have to tell me why you forced me to leave Kursk. What's the real reason? Don't try to fool me with my future."

"Isn't that reason enough? Your mother passed away early, so it's normal for me to care about you. Don't think about other things."

"Okay, Mr. Director, just stick to it. I didn't come here to argue with you. Do you know Luo Ye?"

"Why are you asking about him?"

"Turgenev told the truth. Luo Ye solved the jewelry case. He couldn't even pass his internship before. How did he suddenly become a detective?"

Knuckles: "You're talking about him. I don't understand him either. He's been a completely different person since he started at the base. Even his aunt Irina was confused. He's a great shot, a ferocious fighter, and he slapped Turgenev to the ground. And yet he can even predict what's about to happen. It's a bit unbelievable. I suspect this guy was tampered with by Product One, but I can't find any problem. Similarly, Mark has a problem and has been exposed. This is really strange."

"Is that so, Dad? Then you can tell me about his affairs. Come on, have breakfast. I made these."

--------

At 1:30 in the afternoon, Luo Ye and Turgenev, fully armed, appeared at the edge of the reservoir. They arrived early and ambushed in the woods.

Turgenev held up the telescope and said, "I hope that Fyodor's information is accurate, otherwise I will skin him alive."

"Be patient. I trust him. He hasn't made any mistakes so far."

At exactly two o'clock, a group of people came to the path at the edge of the forest, and then another group came.

"Look, there are two people carrying boxes, one each. Fyodor didn't let us down!"

At this moment, in the eyes of the two policemen, there was no gangster, only the two boxes.

Luo Ye fired a shot into the sky, and suddenly the two gangs became chaotic, cursing and shooting at each other.

"Oh my god, are the gangs so powerful nowadays?"

Luo Ye was also shocked by what he saw. These two gangs were equipped with submachine guns as standard equipment, and they also used grenades.

"Don't let those two people carrying the boxes get away, they are retreating!"

"Go around it, success or failure depends on it."

Things went smoothly. The two of them successfully got behind the group of people carrying the boxes and said, "Put the money down!"

"You bastards from the Red Moon Gang, go to hell!"

Bullets whizzed around the two men, "Fuck, they have good weapons and good aim, they are going to kill us!"

"Colonel, I can see it. I was almost hit. Fight back. Now it's not about whether we want to fight or not. They want to kill us. There is no way out."

So the two sharpshooters opened fire with light and heavy weapons at the same time.

After a while, five of the other side fell down. The two guys carrying the boxes saw that the situation was not good, so they didn't want the money and ran away.

When he got the money, Luo Ye couldn't believe his eyes.

At four o'clock, at the county police station, Luo Ye walked into Director Knuckles' office.

"Director, please help me find a master who can install a satellite locator. We need to do it discreetly so no one can notice it, especially a super soldier like him."

Knuckles was confused.

"We got the money. Here's the box it's in."

The police chief immediately understood what was going on and was extremely surprised: "You got the money, how did you get it?"

"This is a secret between you and me. Don't ask. Do you want to catch the super soldier?" "You're talking bullshit."

"Okay, let's start with the box. Is there anyone like that?"

"Of course there are. We also have equipment for this purpose, left behind by the former Soviet Union. It's used exclusively by secret agents and can be done without leaving any traces."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to the Director."

Knuckles was excited and asked, "How do you plan to meet the Super Soldier?"

"According to his request, it should be one or two people. The people from the county police station should not interfere, just keep an eye on the satellite positioning. You can also notify the unfortunate guy with the severed palm. I think he must be wanting revenge right now."

"Okay, well done! When will he call?"

"Tonight at the earliest."

"Alright! You guys contact him and keep him steady. Leave the rest to me. I'm going to show Andre how powerful our local police are."

------

At the Kursk Town Police Station, Luo Ye was checking boxes with satellite positioning installed on both boxes. The positioning receivers were installed in the deepest compartment at the bottom of the boxes. The positioning receivers looked like the plastic rivets that fixed the boxes. Even if you checked carefully, you couldn't see the trick without a magnifying glass.

"Only a high-ranking agent could have such skill. I'm impressed."

"It's better not to be optimistic, Colonel. That thing has become a monster."

"I don't believe he can find out. I don't believe it."

At 10:30 in the evening, Luo Ye and Turgenev were drinking tea and playing chess, waiting for a call.

The landline rang. Every time a soldier called, the number displayed was different. When the call came at this time, Luo Ye guessed it was him.

"You only have 12 hours left, Chief Luo. Is the ransom ready?"

"Why are you so anxious?"

"What does wool mean?"

"Understand yourself. The ransom is ready. Two million, not a penny less. Now it's your turn. You must keep your word and hand over the money and the person. Before the transaction, I need to speak to Chris."

"Well, don't worry, there's a ransom. The person is fine. How can I be sure that you have prepared the ransom?"

"Believe it or not, what about Chris?"

"Here, please wait."

The other end of the phone: "Luo Ye, is that you, is that you, save me, save me——"

The phone was taken away. "Did you hear that? Chris is fine. Now that you've gathered the money, you can tell me where the transaction will take place. You can also decide the time."

Luo Ye had a plan for what the other party said. "No, you decide it first, so you don't have to accuse us of cheating and being dishonest. You decide it."

"Okay then, tonight at one in the morning, by the reservoir north of town, where I'm digging a pit. You're familiar with that spot, so you don't have to find the way if you move to another location. It's a quiet place, so you can't do anything tricky. If you try, I'll put you in that pit."

Why was it that place again? This was beyond Luo Ye's expectation.

"Yes, you're right. We're familiar with the route. We agreed to hand over the money and the person. Don't cheat."

"Then it's settled. Honesty. I repeat, honesty. Otherwise, you will lose everything."

"Thanks for the reminder. That's settled then. The box is heavy and I can't lift it by myself."

"It's okay, you can come in pairs. The idiot you were with last time was called Turgenev's special police."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Turgenev pointed at his nose and asked: "Do I look like a fool?"

"Kind of, really."

At one o'clock in the morning, Luo Ye and Turgenev arrived at the reservoir on time, and two masked men walked towards them with flashlights.

"Very punctual. Where's the money?"

Luo Ye patted the box and asked, "Where's Chris?"
