Chapter 436 - 424 Move Around
Why drive for Jethro? Because as a driver, you get the closest access to the boss. Often, a boss’s secretary isn’t as clued in as the driver, since the boss won’t hide anything from the driver, nor can they.
The car, under Jethro’s guidance, headed towards downtown Kyiv. It was already night, and the situation in Kyiv had become very chaotic lately, so there were very few cars and people on the road. The Ukrainian parliament had passed a resolution to restrict public movement, which resulted in an increase in checkpoints. As Yang Yi drove deeper into the city, encountering checkpoints became unavoidable.
Seeing a checkpoint from a distance, Yang Yi asked Jethro, "Which way should we go?"
They were all fully armed, with guns and all. If Jethro didn’t have a way to deal with it, just the gear they were carrying would have spelled big trouble for them.
"Don’t worry about it, just drive through."
Yang Yi drove straight up to the barricaded roadblock, and then Jethro rolled down his window and said a few words loudly in Ukrainian, after which he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it for the approaching policeman to see, and then the policeman waved his hand, and they were let through.
Jethro closed the window and folded the paper he had shown to the policeman and slipped it back into his pocket.
"What’s that? Looks like it worked well."
Yang Yi asked casually, and Jethro replied just as casually, "It’s an order signed by the chief of the police headquarters. It must be obeyed; this thing is essential. Otherwise, you can’t even hit the road. You wouldn’t want to be detained by the police for carrying a full load of munitions, would you? Ha ha."
Jethro laughed heartily, but no sooner had they passed the police checkpoint when they were stopped by another checkpoint ahead.
"This is a military checkpoint. Police orders don’t work on them. Just wait a moment."
