Clearly, the information he received was half-true and half-false. Zhang Jie was certain that this Maksim Berun fellow was definitely a major problem, not just a simple rich merchant as he appeared to be.
And similarly, Zhang Jie also raised the danger level of the intelligence regarding the Evil Wolf Gang in Moscow.
He vaguely sensed that there should be some connection between these two matters.
By evening, Zhang Jie had already checked into the Izmailovo Alfa Hotel in Moscow.
According to the material, this wealthy man's daily activities were also in this vicinity. Fortunately, the other party also provided a photo, which made it easier for Zhang Jie to find this fellow.
Meanwhile, in another location, inside an apartment, a bald man was reporting the situation to a white-haired woman.
"All the information has been sent to him. I just don't know when he will make contact with Maksim Berun."
The white-haired woman standing by the window waved her hand, "Don't worry, he will find this guy very soon."
After all, his name is Maksim Berun, especially in Moscow.
When the woman turned around, the light shone on her face; it was Anna.
She glanced at the man, then said to him, "The KGB has already noticed me. You should try to leave soon. I don't want to drag you into this."
When she said this, Anna's tone was a bit weary.
"If I leave, what will you do?"
Hearing Anna tell him to leave, the bald man was a bit anxious.
"Listen, Yuri, this matter has become urgent. If I can't get that item, the CIA won't let me go either. So I'm very dangerous right now. You'd best stay far away from me."
Anna sat on the sofa, lit a slim cigarette, and took a deep drag.
As a thick puff of white smoke slowly exhaled, Anna's face flickered in and out of the smoke.
"Yuri, you should leave first. I have a feeling that the situation will become even more serious. If you don't leave now, I'm afraid you really won't be able to."
Anna finally said this, knowing what it meant for Yuri.
He would have to go completely silent, hide and become an ordinary person until he was reactivated.
Yuri was very unwilling to accept Anna's words, but in the end, he could only nod helplessly. He, of course, knew the risks involved; his presence would only increase Anna's risk of exposure.
He slowly placed his phone on the table, turned, and walked towards the door.
Anna's gaze pierced through the smoke, looking at Yuri's retreating figure, a flicker of reluctance in her eyes.
But some things were no longer up to her.
The moment Yuri closed the door, Anna immediately got up, extinguished the cigarette in her hand, put the cigarette butt into a disposable sealed bag, then took out another sealed bag and also collected the phone Yuri had left behind.
After taking out a lint roller and cleaning every spot on the sofa she had touched, she walked to the window.
The car below had been parked for a long time, but she noticed that the person inside was gone.
So she unhesitatingly opened the window and jumped out.
This was the third floor.
But Anna used a roadside utility pole to slide safely to the ground. Then she pulled a woman's hat from her pocket, put it on, and walked off in another direction.
At the same time, two men in suits had already come up the stairs from below, directly encountering Yuri who was walking down.
The two men looked at Yuri, and Yuri looked at them.
He had intended to walk past as if nothing was wrong, but the two men had no intention of letting anyone go.
They immediately pulled out their Pistols. Seeing this, Yuri immediately turned and kicked the wall hard, using the recoil to flip over to the other side of the stairs.
Puff puff!
Two muffled gunshots accompanied by muzzle flashes, but they missed.
The two men immediately rushed up, but Yuri had already run to the other end.
His thought at this moment was that Anna was still in the apartment, so he couldn't lead these two people there. He could only lead them in the other direction because the commotion here should have already caught Anna's attention.
However, two more people suddenly appeared from the other side.
Yuri stopped directly.
A wolf in front, a tiger behind.
He knew these people were from the KGB. He wanted to run, but it seemed unrealistic. They had Pistols.
So, he immediately drew the Pistol from his waist. Just as he was about to shoot, he was shot in the arm and knee.
"Ah! Padla! Ya tebya ub'yu! (Bastard, I'll kill you!)"
Intense pain constantly filled Yuri's brain. He began to gasp violently, but with his knee shot through, he could only lie helplessly in the stairwell.
Then four men in suits began to check each apartment. They held strange devices, scanning them over each door.
Soon they reached the door Yuri had just exited. The four men exchanged glances, kicked the door open, then rushed in, Pistols pointed in all directions.
But the room was already empty.
"Suka! (Similar to 'bitch')"
Soon, they noticed a red dot flashing under the sofa. The four men exchanged glances and immediately rushed out the door.
Boom!
An explosion instantly erupted, and a powerful shockwave pushed the four men out the door.
All the facilities in the room were completely destroyed in the explosion, and all traces were wiped clean.
Anna, walking in the distance, heard the explosion behind her and chuckled, "Art is an explosion."
The four men who were blown away slammed heavily against the wall, each spitting blood, and fell unconscious.
The intense shockwave had caused them considerable harm. They hadn't expected the woman to have escaped beforehand.
Yuri, whose limbs were limp and who was leaning against the stairwell, was also affected by the shockwave, but he burst into maniacal laughter.
It was unclear whether he was collapsing from becoming a pawn or happy about Anna's escape.
He didn't know, but as an informant, he felt it was necessary to secure some means of escape for himself.
The four agents were injured and unconscious; he still had a little time.
But Anna, walking ahead, pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
"Sorry, Yuri."
With that, Anna's thumb pressed the dial button.
Du--
The sound of a call waiting came from the receiver.
Yuri, who was still struggling to find a way to survive, heard his phone ringing from the adjacent room.
The ringtone was very familiar; it was one he had set himself.
He suddenly remembered that he had once joked with Anna that if he ever had to set up a phone bomb, he would definitely use this song.
Upon hearing this ringtone, Yuri stopped his attempt to crawl out. He knew everything was meaningless.
Boom--!
The next second, the apartment building behind Anna was engulfed in fire, and a massive explosion echoed through the sky.
The entire apartment turned into flames and countless fragments.
