The Russian black terrier in the villa yard suddenly barked, and a moment later Irving's voice sounded: "KK, don't you recognize me?"
KK's voice disappeared, and then there was the sound of the door opening, and then Owen's figure appeared at the door.
"My dear, where have you been? I can't contact you at all."
Monica said angrily as soon as Owen entered the door. Owen took out his phone and looked at it, smiling bitterly.
"Sorry honey, I didn't pay attention, the phone battery is out of power."
"Dude, are you having an affair?"
Owen gave Bayev a roll of his eyes, did he want to kill me?
"Come on, the food is ready."
Baleleka invited Irving to sit down at the dining table. Soothing music was playing in the restaurant. It was hard to tell that Baleleka was quite tasteful.
Owen sat down next to Monica, and Monica handed him the napkin and suddenly sniffed.
"Honey, have you been drinking?"
"Yes, I went out to meet a friend today. I had some Chinese food and drank some Chinese liquor with her in the evening. Oh, today's food looks very good, I think I should have some more..."
Owen put some salad on his plate and took a bite. Bayev next to him had already poured the red wine for him and handed it to him.
"Thanks."
Owen took it gentlemanly.
"She? Female?"
Monica asked warily, and Owen laughed and said: "It is indeed a woman, but don't get me wrong, nothing happened, we just chatted and had a meal..."
Owen had to briefly describe how he picked up the cell phone during the day and how Anna invited him to dinner to thank him.
Monica stared at him, and Owen made a gesture of surrender with his hands: "I promise, she drank too much at night, I just sent her home, nothing happened..."
Owen took the initiative to confess, and he had never had a criminal record. Monica believed him intellectually, but emotionally, there was a saying that was right, men are all big pigs, huh...
Irving smiled bitterly, while Bayev next to him was gloating. Irving flattered him: "Come on, baby, eat some salad, this is your favorite..."
"No, I want to eat caviar..."
"Okay, I'll get it right away."
Monica forgave him by saying this. Caviar was a step up. Of course Owen had to grasp it and ran to the refrigerator to get caviar.
But when he passed by the stereo, a slight chirping sound suddenly came from the speaker, and Owen didn't pay attention to it. But when he came back, when he passed by the stereo, there was another chirping sound, and Owen's face became solemn.
Monica even discovered it before Owen did.
"Okay, I forgive you, but you must promise not to be alone with any sexy bitch in the future..."
"Of course, I promise, dear, you must not think too much, it is not good for your baby's health..."
Monica seemed to be coquettish with her mouth, but she was making gestures with her hands, and Owen cooperated in a perfunctory manner.
Baleleka and Bayev also reacted and chatted with them. From time to time they made the sound of clinking cups and plates, which sounded like they were dining.
"Eat more of this..."
“It tastes very good…”
"What do you plan to do tomorrow?"
"Who knows, we'll talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow..."
A few people chatted seemingly casually, and clinked glasses from time to time.
Owen stood there, joking, but there was no smile on his face. Monica searched his body carefully with her hands, from top to bottom, and soon found a bug in the folded position of his collar.
Monica searched carefully twice more, from top to bottom, inside and out, and then looked at Owen after confirming that there was no more bugging device.
Owen sat down again, and the bug was placed on the table in front of him. The four people's useless chat continued, but their eyes were all focused on the bug in front of them.
What's going on? I was targeted as soon as I arrived in Russia.
The expressions of the four of them were solemn. Who was the other person? What was his purpose? These questions kept popping up in Owen's mind.
He was 90% sure that this bug was planted by Anna, whom he just met today. Normally, it would be impossible for ordinary people to do anything on him. Owen recalled all the details of today, probably
It was installed when she was helping her while she was drunk.
Owen looked at the other three people, and the other three people also looked at him.
In order to confuse the other party, the chat could not be interrupted. Monica wrote rustlingly on the paper: "This thing is the usual style here in Russia."
Monica has a master's degree in electronic engineering and has a deep understanding of this aspect. Electronic equipment from all over the world has its own style. Eavesdroppers are not a mass commodity. Each country has its own preferred model, which is also consistent with their
Work habits matter.
The ones used by American intelligence agencies and those in Europe are definitely different, and the difference is even greater here. The style of this bug is obviously what Maozi is used to, but I don’t know whether it is the Russian intelligence agency or someone else who is targeting them.
who.
This time it was Bayev who wrote on the paper. After he finished writing, he picked it up and showed it to Owen.
"Should we find him?"
Bayev pointed to the cabinet on the side. Owen knew that there were weapons in there, including AKs, pistols and grenades. The oligarch was not a law-abiding person, so his home could not be clean.
Owen understood what he meant. The receiving distance of the bug was limited, and the other party had to be near the villa. If he moved quickly enough, it would not be difficult to find them.
Owen thought about it and finally shook his head. He had no idea who the other party was or what their purpose was. This was Russia, so he thought it was best to stay put.
"Okay, I'll take care of it. You can go watch TV."
There must be a time when dinner is finished, Baleleka gestured, and everyone understood what she meant.
Since Irving has been installed with a bug, there's no guarantee that others haven't. They'd better search carefully. Baleleka was a little unhappy. Maybe last night's craziness had been broadcast live.
Bayev turned on the TV, turned up the volume, and took out two detectors from a cabinet. Everyone began to scan separately. Not only themselves, but the entire house was scanned.
The final result was good. Only the one on Irving was found, and no other bugs were found. This means that the target of the other party is Irving or them.
"I would like to invite you to my father's house tomorrow."
This sentence was not written, but was spoken directly by Baleleka. Everyone looked at her. They all knew that the relationship between Baleleka and her father was very tense. It was supposed that they should go and see her after she came back.
My father's, but I never went there. This is enough to prove how bad the relationship between the two parties is. But why now...
But soon everyone figured out the key.
Baleleka's father Ulyanov is a Russian oligarch. Although he is not a top-notch one, he is still worth a lot of money. Not to mention that he also has a mercenary organization like the Moscow Hotel. He has money and guns. Even the local government
We should all be afraid of three points.
They are alone here. If there is any accident, there will be too few chips to use. But it is different when he goes to his father's place. His father has dozens of mercenaries protecting him all year round. No matter who it is, he wants to attack them there.
You have to think carefully before making any move.
It seems that Baleleka is afraid that they will not be able to cope with it, and for their safety, she would rather put aside her grudge against her father temporarily.
Everyone looked at each other and realized that this suggestion could really be considered.
