142 Of course no (2/2)
”Mhmm. Wait for my order.”
Jiang Chen reached out to touch his ear and moved his wrist closer to his lips to whisper.
Borris walked in front to lead the way. Nick followed and examined the surrounding without words. Jiang Chen looked rather relaxed as if he did not understand that he was in the front line.
The rough, muddy road had wooden boards lined up, two meters tall, along the side of the road, creating a temporary fence. In the forefront, this thing is used to obstruct the sniper's view or unexpected shots.
”How long?” Jiang Chen scanned the tank stalled on the road as he casually asked Borris up front.
”Soon, it's in front,” Borris gave a vague answer.
”Oh. Could I ask you a personal question?” Jiang Chen walked up to him and smiled.
”Of course, as long as it doesn't involve sensitive information.”
”Your position in the 92nd Mechanized Infantry is?” From the calluses on his hands, this guy must be a great soldier.
”Currently Markanov General's personal guard.” Borris' English was fluent. He could understand Jiang Chen's Han-accented English, which barely passes level six of the proficiency test.
”Oh? Then you must be a good shooter.” Jiang Chen looked at him quite surprised.
”Not bad.” Borris didn't seem to want to continue on the topic, but he paused, and then added, ”I am his nephew.”
The three continued for a bit longer, but at this time, Nick began scanning down the road, raised his eyebrows, and then stopped.
The quiet him abruptly interrupted, ”The 92nd mechanized infantry already pushed up this far?”
”Of course not.” Borris shrugged and said something the two didn't understand.
Nick had the fastest reaction as he instantly reached for his waist. But Borris, clearly prepared, was one step ahead and pointed his rifle at him.
”I suggest you don't move. Not including the gun in my hand, there is one pointing at you hundreds of meters away,” Borris said lightheartedly, but he was looking at Jiang Chen. ”Very sorry, Mr. Jiang, someone wants to talk with you.”
”Who?” Jiang Chen smiled, with the same lighthearted tone.
Obviously, this Borris was fake. Markanov probably did send someone here but got killed, and then substituted for this Borris?
Although he was prepared for trouble, Jiang Chen didn't expect the trouble to not come from Markanov, but from a force he hasn't met before.
The radio signal must have been intercepted. They are obviously not weak. But even knowing this, Jiang Chen's face remained emotionless as he looked at Borris with a bright smile.
Borris didn't answer Jiang Chen's question as he looked at him slightly shocked. ”Mr. Jiang is not worried about your own safety?”
”Safety? Why would I be worried about it?” Jiang Chen pretended to be confused and shrugged. ”Since you want to kidnap me, wouldn't you guarantee my safety?”
Borris cracked a smile as he seemed to be intrigued by Jiang Chen's logic. Then he raised his left hand and made a gesture.
A few people walked out from the shadows. Their skillful moves along with their professional positioning indicated that these people must be of the special forces.
He looked at the unanimous Russian faces and recalled Nick saying Kane didn't have a special force. Jiang Chen had a sense of the identities of these people.
Nick was tied up, but they were courteous enough not to do the same thing to Jiang Chen. Maybe from appearance, Jiang Chen didn't look like a dangerous figure.
”KGB?” Jiang Chen tried to probe the question as he stared into Borris' eyes.
No wonder he was a professional, his pupils didn't waiver at all. Borris only smiled and didn't respond.
”Who we are is not important, handsome from the east.”
With a flirtatious tone, Jiang Chen heard a familiar voice behind him.
The broken Han.
