Chapter 265 - 252 Tribute
For a minor fan girl’s request that was by no means excessive, could Gao Yi refuse? Did he even need to refuse?
He certainly hadn’t decided to broaden Emily’s horizons just because she was a second-generation agent; he simply felt too embarrassed to say no.
The car stopped at an ordinary-looking private residence, just a common apartment, which also serves as a safe house. There’s not much to say about safe houses; they’re more or less the same, with those from wealthier countries and organizations perhaps being slightly better equipped, but that was about it.
However, today the safe house could only serve as a temporary resting place.
The British were hot on their heels, and it wouldn’t be long before they were discovered; it was even possible they had never shaken them off in the first place, so this safe house would soon have to be permanently abandoned.
The price paid by the French was quite significant. Years of effort on the intelligence front were being spent today, and then those connected to this safe house would be compromised. Moles who’d been difficult to cultivate might now become useless, and any assets acquired would have to be abandoned.
So, on a whim, Gao Yi decided that France might have to write off several million U.S. dollars’ worth of costs because of him—or even tens of millions.
The captive had fainted, and while Emily was discussing with the driver how to deal with the captive, Gao Yi was busy changing into his disguise, donning a silicone mask, and replacing everything that could be replaced.
Nowadays, silicone masks had become increasingly sophisticated. They were no longer the exclusive tools of agents; even ordinary people could buy silicone masks with quite convincing effects. Unless inspected closely, flaws were difficult to detect, and professional-grade masks custom-made for agents could even withstand close-range scrutiny without giving anything away.
Gao Yi finished changing as quickly as possible, which took him about twenty minutes. Then, as he was about to rush out the door to leave, Emily whispered, "What do we do with the captive?"
