The two-storey building was completely surrounded Israeli soldiers, Aents had appeared on the streets and on the roofs of the buildings around them It was now impossible for even a bird to escape from this place
Gu Kewen had appeared and the CIA Middle East director, Goodson, too
“Didn’t you say that you could persuade Xia Lei to surrender?” Goodson’s face was dark with anger “I believed you and gave you coivetheo,” said Gu Kewen
“I don’t need excuses” Goodson pointed at the surrounded building and said, “Xia Lei is inside I’ll give you one more chance Get him to come out and surrender”
“Mr Goodson, you…” Gu Kewen hesitated
Goodson frowned “What, not willing to follow o” Gu Kewen forced herself to nod, then walked towards the sret and dismay She knew that she was of no o to Xia Lei And she - she could be shot dead by Xia Lei at any tiht the rabbit’ was an apt expression for her now
However, she still had to brace herself to coh she knew that she was being used as cannon fodder If Xia Lei was going to surrender he would have done so in the forest, not wait till now
Gu Kewen’s steps were slow; she was thinking of how she was going to persuade Xia Lei as she walked
Goodson watched Gu Kealk towards the s and a cruel sneer appeared on his lips ‘Would I let a wo, to stay in the CIA and grow? Dreaer to you, then I’ll capture hi’
“Xia Lei” Gu Kewen got close to the s and she finally spoke “Don’t be foolish Come out and surrender You’ve been surrounded and there’s no way out Co to hurt you”
Xia Lei watched Gu Kewen fro He just needed to point the XL2500 out of theand squeeze the trigger to finished Gu Kewen off in that moment However, when he s and hesitation pulled at his heart-strings
This was not kindness Gu Kewen had been involved in the kidnapping of Shentu Tianyin, and in the operation against the expert group So iven for these sins He was conflicted and hesitant because he had lip-read the conversation between Goodson and Gu Kewen earlier Goodson wanted to use him to kill off Gu Kewen so if Xia Lei did that, wouldn’t he be doing as the enemy wished?
‘Goodsonto kill Gu Kewen off, but what?’ thought Xia Lei
Gu Kewen’s voice caain, “Xia Lei, you have no tiuarantee that you will be unharlanced back that the blasting equipment hidden under the coffee table The display showed fourout of the underground passage entrance
Tang Yuyan and Long Bing also saw the blasting equipment under the coffee table and they understood Xia Lei’s plan immediately
“Gu Kewen!” Xia Lei looked back and raised his voice “You’re just a CIA dog! You’re not fit to negotiate with me Get Goodson to co him,” came Gu Kewen’s voice, “You can tell me what you want!”
“I want Goodson to come here and talk to me,” said Xia Lei
On the street, Gu Kewen turned to look at the agents hiding behind Goodson She gestured “Mr Goodson, he wants to talk with you”
Goodson did not ain, “You tell hiht to the death I have explosives on et to pick up my corpse if I do that”
Gu Kewen passed on Xia Lei’s words
“Cover o over” Goodson finally made his decision
The CIA’s objective was to capture Xia Lei so he would have no way to give the higher-ups any results if he couldn’t even hand a body over Going over to Xia Lei was a huge risk but he had to take this risk
The group of CIA agents covered Goodson as he drew close to the building They were a living human wall for Goodson
“I’m here What are your conditions? Say them!” said Goodson loudly
“My conditions are sio, and I’ll surrender when I receive a e that they are safe”
“No probleh of relief “Get them to come out”
“What did you say? I can’t hear you” Xia Lei’s sounded irritated “You’re too far away fro sincere Come closer and talk!”
“You show yourself, and I’ll come over!” said Goodson cautiously
Xia Lei showed hiun, surrounded on all sides, but he still had a do presence
Gu Kewen seeaze turned odd She surreptitiously ents, then further back
Goodson and the group of agents did not notice Gu Kewen’s strange actions, but this did not escape Xia Lei’s attention
