Chapter 1504: Chapter 1485: Intelligence is King

This gun is like a bird with wings. You think it’s close, but just as you approach, it suddenly flies away.

That’s exactly how Gao Yang feels now. Although they say good things come to those who wait, this isn’t waiting; it’s torture.

As Gao Yang’s heart sank, Yake remained unfazed. When it comes to situations like this, Yake’s mental fortitude is much stronger than Gao Yang’s.

After a few words of lament, Yake suddenly waved his hand and said resolutely, “Do you know who those guns were sold to? And Mr. Monosha’s favorite pair of pistols, what are their characteristics? I want to look for them, maybe I can find them. This is Mr. Monosha’s greatest wish. Although he has gone to heaven, I still want to help him get them back.”

Kaya was stunned for a moment, confusedly saying, “Look? How do you look for something from all those years ago?”

Yake spoke with determination, “Some things can be found no matter how many years have passed; it’s about whether we’re willing to find them. I want to give it a try. Also, those guns that were sold, tell me where they went, and I’ll see if I can buy them back.”

Kaya was full of doubt, but she doubted whether the guns could be found, not Yake’s intentions.

“The guns were sold by Ilyushin. I don’t know who he sold them to. I just came home from work one day and found all the guns gone. I never asked him where he sold them because I knew he wouldn’t be happy about it. However, I remember him saying he would never sell the guns to a British person, but I only ever heard him mention it once, so I don’t know who he ultimately sold them to.”

Yake nodded, sighing, “Such a pity, Mr. Monosha’s cherished collection was sold off just like that.”

After expressing his feelings, Yake said with determination, “Mrs. Monosha, I have to take my leave. I may stay in Kiev for a while longer to see if I can find Mr. Monosha’s stolen hunting rifle. I want to do this to honor Mr. Monosha. If there is any news, I will come back to visit you. Goodbye.”

Having obtained what he wanted, Yake quickly lost patience for chatting with Kaya. In an almost abrupt manner, he bid her farewell, and the three of them left Kaya’s house.

Once they left the neighborhood, Gao Yang said dejectedly, “The gun’s vanished again, and the lead is cut off. Finding a gun is so difficult!”

Yake laughed, “You’re looking for a gun that has been lost for more than seventy years, has survived the Nazis and Russians, and has wandered the world. You’ve already touched this gun’s shadow; isn’t that enough for you? Mate, getting to this point is already a miracle, isn’t it?”

Gao Yang waved his hand and sighed, “I know it’s tough, but when hope is just in front of you and you lose it again, it feels awful.”

Number Thirteen suddenly said, “Why say that? We already have a very clear lead.”

Gao Yang frowned, “That British person? But Ilyushin swore he would never sell the gun to any British person.”

Yake laughed, “Never sell and never sell to someone are two different things. If you want something, do you always follow the basic rules? Mate, you definitely think of tricks; who knows whose hands the gun ended up in. So, if the gun ended up with that British embassy’s military officer, I wouldn’t be surprised.”

Number Thirteen chimed in, “Even if it’s not in the hands of the British, it doesn’t matter. We now know that the British person was very active in Kiev; he’s a collector. Another collector was also very active, but we don’t know the Ukrainian collector’s lead. However, perhaps the British person paid close attention to his competition at the time. As long as the British person is alive, and we find him, we’ll get something.”

Gao Yang clapped his hands happily, “Makes sense, makes sense!”

After saying that, Gao Yang frowned again and smiled bitterly, “But we don’t have time now. The situation here is so tense that there’s no way I can leave this for the UK. Oh, we still have to wait.”

Gao Yang definitely couldn’t leave the Ukrainian matter to go to the UK. Morgan’s gun is important, but the issue in Ukraine concerns his life. The priorities are very clear.

Gao Yang began to consider notifying Morgan of his progress and having Morgan handle the rest of the task. While he pondered whether to do so, Yake smiled and said, “Boss, I’m not a very superstitious person, but I really believe in luck. If you’re thinking of handing this off to Morgan, maybe it’s better to reconsider.”

Gao Yang sighed, “Alright, let’s wait a bit longer. Maybe soon we can wrap things up here, then we can focus on finding the gun.”

Even if it’s just a lead, the feeling of losing and regaining it is terrible. Gao Yang didn’t say anything on the way back because the pressure these days is too much, and he’s so tired. He leaned back on the seat and soon fell asleep.

While in a deep sleep, Gao Yang thought he heard his phone ringing. He woke up and grabbed his phone, saw an unfamiliar number, answered the call, and said loudly, “Hello, who is this.”

“It’s Justin. Listen, I’ve found Djo’s residence. He might be living there now.”

Suddenly, Gao Yang was wide awake. He sat straight up and asked urgently, “Where!”

“France, Ram. Before I give you the exact address, we need to talk about the price!”

Gao Yang frowned, “Didn’t we already talk about the price?”

Justin stated seriously, “Yes, I mentioned a maximum of 100 million dollars! But this time, I think it’s not enough. I’ve paid a big price for this piece of information.”

Gao Yang was slightly displeased and said in a low voice, “Mate, in your line of work, can you just change the agreed price at will?”

Justin replied in a low voice, “I don’t intend to increase the cap on the transaction amount, but I am asking you to pay the amount in full, 100 million dollars, in a single payment.”

Gao Yang was not happy and said, “What if your information is wrong? What if we go there and the house is empty?”

Justin firmly stated, “Trust me, even if it’s just Djo’s residence, this information is worth 100 million! That’s the minimum, and I won’t change my demand!”

100 million, that’s a staggering amount of money, just to buy a sentence and an address. Not many people would do such a thing.

Gao Yang didn’t hesitate for long because he didn’t have a choice. In the war with Djo, intelligence is king. Information is the foundation and victory. (To be continued.
