Chapter 269 - 256: The Most Dangerous Place
Everyone was panicked.
The Minister of Intelligence tried hard to avoid becoming a national disgrace, declaring that it no longer mattered whether he lived or died, as long as he didn’t become the biggest joke in British history.
Gao Yi tried hard to avoid being captured by the British, and more importantly, he couldn’t die.
As for Emily, she was now the most panicked because she truly had no idea how to handle the situation. Even if she were killed right there, it wouldn’t end things.
At this point, they had to find a solution.
The Minister of Intelligence’s choice was to send the upcoming reinforcements away. The reason was simple: no matter how many people from Military Intelligence Sixth Department came, they couldn’t save him. Instead, it might provoke the two youngsters who had kidnapped him, and in their desperation, they might just kill him, using him as a last-resort shield.
So, it was better if those who seemed like reinforcements but were actually harbingers of doom withdrew.
Gao Yi’s choice was to give in to the situation.
The Minister of Intelligence told him not to play with fire and ordered his men not to pursue them anymore, which created an opportunity to act.
As long as the Minister of Intelligence didn’t want to die, there was room to talk.
