Mauritius, Sochi.

Sochi International Airport.

Lu Qi, wearing a black turtleneck sweater and a leather jacket, walked out of the station carrying a black luggage bag.

Next to him was Ella, who had dyed her hair blond and changed into a hip-hop girl's outfit.

The two of them carried their luggage bags and walked straight out of the airport lobby to the roadside.

Before the two of them could raise their hands to signal, a smart taxi stopped in front of them.

A Maoist uncle wearing a peaked cap said to the two of them through the car window in awkward Mao-style English:

"Hey, need a cab?"

Hearing this, Lu Qi just smiled slightly, waved his hand, and responded in very standard Mao dialect:

"Thank you, but no, someone will come pick us up."

Seemingly frightened by Lu Qi's Maoist standard, the driver was stunned for a moment before he reacted:

"Oh, okay..."

Watching the taxi drive away, Ella casually pulled the woolen hat on her head, revealing a strand of golden hair. She turned to Lu Qi and asked:

"Thai, Portuguese, Mao... To be honest, how many languages ​​have you learned?"

Hearing this, Lu Qi shrugged and responded casually: "I didn't go out of my way to learn it, I just learned it by listening."

Seeing Lu Qi's pretentious "I didn't learn, but I just know how to do it" attitude, Ella couldn't help curling her lips and sighing softly.

"cut..."

Although they had experienced several missions together in Task Force 141, Ella found that she did not understand Lu Qi, an outstanding teammate and superior.

She only knows that Lu Qi is recognized as the strongest ace in the 141 Special Service Team, with outstanding abilities and a language genius, that's all.

In just one day, Ella, who observed carefully, quickly got to know Lu Qi better:

I like to drink dark beer, don't smoke, and have endless things to say to beautiful women...

By the way, now I have to add another one: "I like to brag."

Just as Ella was labeling her boss, a black Ford suddenly stopped in front of the two of them.

The car window rolled down, and Nikolai's familiar face with slightly red cheeks came into view.

"Hey, buddy, do I need a ride?"

Listening to his old friend's crude English, Lu Qi couldn't help but smile:

"certainly!"

...

As soon as the two got into the car, Nikolai, who was holding the steering wheel with one hand, turned his head and asked Lu Qi:

"Long time no see, my friend, is this your new girlfriend? Katyusha will be very sad if you do this..."

Before Lu Qi could answer, Ella on the side retorted first:

"I'm not his girlfriend!"

Looking at the suddenly serious Ella, Nikolai was a little confused and couldn't help but look at Lu Qi with a look of help.

I asked you to joke around all day long, but now you’re going to have a hard time, right?

With this in mind, Lu Qi put on his seat belt and explained aloud: "Relax, Ella, Nikolai is just joking. He knows who you are..."

Nikolai, who was choked, didn't pay attention, but covered up his embarrassment with a burst of laughter.

"Hahaha, your name is Ella, right? I'm Nikolai, nice to meet you."

"Hello."

Nodding to Nikolai, Ella turned to look at Lu Qi and said, "He is the friend and informant you mentioned?"

"Yes."

"To be more precise, the people in this car are all members of the intelligence team."

Hearing this, Ella couldn't help but frown, seeming a little suspicious of the combination in front of her.

However, she did not question it out loud, but kept her thoughts in her stomach...

The roar of the engine was heard in his ears, and looking at the street scene passing by outside the car window, Lu Qi suddenly asked:

"By the way, did you receive my gift?"

Hearing this, Nikolai, who was driving, responded casually without any hesitation:

"Of course, and part of it has been given away..."

"That's good..."

As early as after the mission in Brazil, Lu Qi contacted Nikolai and asked him to transfer the 100 million U.S. dollars from the Swiss Bank, and began to build an intelligence network in Mauritius to collect information about Zakayev and Makarov.

relevant information.

As a veteran who had participated in the Soviet-Afghan War, Nikolai had also lurked within extremist organizations and had a very wide network of contacts in Mao.

Especially with the support of a large amount of funds, the early intelligence work was carried out very smoothly.

This is also the reason why Lu Qi found this old man...

"Anything gained?"

"That little bastard Zakayev has been very busy recently..."

From Nikolai's mouth, Lu Qicai learned about the actions of the core group after Zakayev returned.

With the support of Makarov, little Zakaev, who is the only bloodline of Zakaev, returned to the core group and immediately became the boss of the core group.

At least that's the case on the surface.

In order to regain power in Mauritius, Zakaev Jr. began to recruit generals, government officials, corporate oligarchs and other powerful figures to confront the current Mauritian President Voshevsky.

Hearing this, Lu Qi couldn't help but touch his chin, and then asked:

"Anyone of particular note?"

"There is one. Speaking of which, it has something to do with what you did in Brazil."

"oh?"

After Nikolai's explanation, Lu Qi realized the changes caused by his little butterfly...

Because Carlos was captured by 141 and was forced to betray the core group's intelligence, the core group and Carlos parted ways.

After that, in order to maintain the source of arms and equipment, the core group decided to find new partners.

As he spoke, Nikolai held the steering wheel with one hand, reached out to the co-pilot with the other hand, and handed a document to Lu Qi in the back seat.

"Roman Saldov, currently Deputy Minister of Defense, is a neutral party member. After Voshevsky came to power, in order to stabilize the situation, he was not replaced, but continued to hold his original position."

"This guy's favorite entertainment is gambling."

"Waszewski certainly didn't expect that this guy would secretly sell the arms in a warehouse at a military base to terrorists who were preparing to subvert the government for millions of dollars in gambling debts..."

At this point, Nikolai couldn't help but sneered, "Ha, this is an official, what a damn irony!"

"Since he didn't expect it, let's tell him..."

After a pause, Lu Qi casually handed the document to Ella aside, and then asked: "Have they started trading?"

"Not yet, but soon. According to reliable information, Saldorff will go to Paris next week to attend a military meeting and meet with senior leaders of the core group."

The word "high-level" made Lu Qi raise his eyebrows and continued to ask: "Who is here to meet? Little Zakayev? Or Makarov?"
