Chapter 247 - 246 Hostage Family

Chapter 247: Chapter 246 Hostage Family

The sudden appearance of a large group of people caused the Butcher and Pigeon, who had been holding their weapons all along, to subconsciously stand up...

The bodyguards accompanying the other party saw that there were armed people on this side, and their first reaction was to shield the person they were protecting behind them. Then they grasped the handle of their guns and raised their hands to make a stop gesture, to prevent the situation from escalating accidentally.

Honestly speaking, the other side behaved very professionally, but Mountain Eagle was in a really bad mood right now...

Seeing Peter and Irina stand up, wanting to run towards the other side, Mountain Eagle loudly stopped them...

"Sit down..."

The battle that had gone on for the past several hours had established a great deal of authority for Mountain Eagle in the minds of the two hostages. They subconsciously sat back down, but Irina started crying again as she sat down on the stool, feeling aggrieved...

Seeing the young girl trying not to cry too loudly, Mountain Eagle sighed and said, "Those who ambushed us tracked us down through your phones.

There is a traitor in your family!

I need to figure out what’s going on; otherwise, even if you go back, you’ll still be unsafe."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle glanced at a particularly imposing guy on the opposite side. He patted Anna on the arm and said, "Negotiate with them. It’s reasonable for the hostages to stay in the hospital since they are injured.

Have someone from their side stay to look after the hostages, and at the same time, I need an answer!

My men can’t be injured for no reason!"

Anna had been worried that Mountain Eagle getting into trouble would ruin her own plans, so she hadn’t been paying much attention to the hostages. She thought these two were probably the children of some wealthy Russian businessman, until she saw Shao Yigu and realized the two hostages were of no ordinary significance.

She glared at Mountain Eagle and said in a low voice, "What exactly have you done?

That’s the Minister Shao Yigu from the Ministry of Emergency Situations; except in the case of disasters or terrorist attacks, I have never seen him appear in such a situation..."

Mountain Eagle said nonchalantly, "Leningrad Street is only five or six kilometers from Red Square. The battle that took place there, doesn’t that qualify as a terror attack?

Even if the Big Russians have a high threshold for nerves, what about the kidnapping of Rodkin’s granddaughter, the youngest son of the Maloferiev family, are they not very dangerous terrorists?"

Hearing this, Anna suddenly widened her eyes and looked at the crying young girl Irina, then poked Mountain Eagle in the waist, straightened the hair on her forehead, and with a smile on her face, confidently walked towards the other party...

Watching Anna strike up a conversation with Shao Yigu, and then very soon having two women released...

Irina’s mother was in her forties, with the traditional traits of a hefty Russian woman, but she appeared to have a very gentle demeanor.

After embracing her daughter, the lady burst into loud sobs!

Peter’s mother was different; she looked stylish, was fashionably dressed, had smooth skin, and her figure was splendid. If not for the fact that the smooth gloss on her face was missing a bit from her legs, no one would think she was a woman nearing fifty.

Aesthetic medicine truly works wonders for women, not just talk; as long as you have the financial means, looking around thirty at the age of fifty is indeed achievable.

Watching Peter being hugged and kissed by his mother, almost to the point of being lifted up, Mountain Eagle signaled the Butcher and Pigeon to put away their weapons.

Then he watched Anna leading Shao Yigu and another young man over; he thought about it and still decided to step forward proactively...

After Anna adjusted her demeanor, she acted very appropriately. When the two parties met, she introduced Mountain Eagle to Shao Yigu and the young man: "This is Mountain Eagle, and he is the famous bodyguard of Snowden.

Recently, he has helped us thwart many conspiratorial attacks against Russia and Snowden and has also assisted us in taking down numerous threatening gangs and violent groups, rooting out many moles hidden within the intelligence agencies."

Anna moved to Mountain Eagle’s side and introduced him formally: "This is Major General Shao Yigu from the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia; he is here to take Irina home.

This is Kirill Malofiev, the eldest son of the Maloferiev family, and the elder brother of Peter."

Mountain Eagle shook hands with both men very formally...

Probably influenced by Anna’s introduction just now, Shao Yigu said with a smile on his face, "Thank you for your contributions to Moscow, and I am proud of the valor shown by you and your subordinates.

You have saved a girl’s life and, at the same time, rescued a family, keeping them from falling into danger..."

The first part of Shao Yigu’s statement was a formality, but the latter part was rather pointed...

Mountain Eagle nodded slightly and said, "When I came across Irina, I didn’t know who she was. I just felt that I couldn’t let a group of kidnappers harm a child.

What I didn’t expect was that these kidnappers would be so vicious, daring to launch an attack in the center of Moscow, causing several of my men to end up in hospital beds.

The attack occurred after they contacted their family, and I don’t believe it was a coincidence.

However, regardless, if my actions have helped others, I am very pleased!"

Mountain Eagle first made it clear that rescuing was a fortuitous coincidence, then pointed out the issue with the attack, and finally showcased his own untarnished record.

This typical official-style reply made Shao Yigu freeze for a moment before nodding appreciatively...

"The next steps can be left to me. The Ministry of Emergency Situations will take over Irina’s kidnapping case. I shall coordinate resources from all sides to bring the kidnappers to justice as quickly as possible!"

Mountain Eagle nodded slightly and said, "sir, when you bring those people to justice, would you need the help of someone skilled in combat?

My buddy is still on the operating table, his life hanging by a thread, and I want to get some interest back for him..."

Upon hearing this, Shao Yigu looked at Anna with a slightly strange expression...

Anna grabbed Mountain Eagle’s arm, shot him an angry glance, bared her teeth and clenched her molars, saying, "You are Mr. Snowden’s bodyguard, how could you abandon your post?"

Mountain Eagle looked down at the hand Anna was using to pinch his arm, smiled, hugged her waist, and pulled her closer, then pinched her bottom...

The two held each other’s gaze for a few seconds, with Anna resisting the urge to leap away before letting go first...

Seeing Anna back down, Mountain Eagle gleefully said, "I believe that with your protection and that of the elite special services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Snowden will be very safe staying at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Moreover, we cannot rule out the attackers’ motive; they might have been targeting Snowden after all.

For Snowden’s safety, I think I should join in the pursuit of the terrorists, dig out the mastermind behind the scenes, and burn them to ashes..."

Snowden is a basket into which all of Mountain Eagle’s violent activities could be put.

Anna didn’t really understand why Mountain Eagle would want to muddy the waters, but this was the first time she had been treated with such resolve by him.

The lady hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded, looking at Shao Yigu and saying, "Minister, I think, as someone who experienced the incident firsthand, Mountain Eagle could offer valuable assistance to your investigation."

Shao Yigu was an outsider to the Snowden incident, but he knew Anna’s identity, whom she represented, and also knew what kind of person her mother, Erin, was...

Hearing Anna endorse Mountain Eagle, he hesitated a bit, then asked Mountain Eagle, "Do you have any leads?"

Mountain Eagle pulled out two prepaid phones from his pocket and said, "On the road, Irina and Peter each made a phone call to their families. Aside from these calls, no one else made contact with anyone outside.

I don’t know if the enemy used technical means to lock onto us, or if after knowing our destination, they deduced our route.

But one thing is sure, the enemy has planted spies among the relatives of Irina and Peter, or they have tapped their phone calls."

Speaking, Mountain Eagle glanced at Kirill, who was patiently waiting by the side, and said in a solemn voice: "I suggest, for safety, that Irina and Peter stay in the hospital until everything comes to light.

Only after everything is settled, can their security be truly guaranteed!"

Mountain Eagle became suspicious when he saw Kirill, who looked handsome...

The appearance of Shao Yigu indicated that Irina’s family had reported her kidnapping to the authorities, or rather to Boss Pu, hence Shao Yigu’s presence.

Under these circumstances, it was unlikely that there was a problem with Irina’s family.

However, the situation was different for the Malofiev family; they had not gone to the police, indicating that they were in private contact with the kidnappers...

Furthermore, when he saw that Kirill, the eldest son, was the one who appeared, Mountain Eagle couldn’t help but think of phrases like ’Sibling Rivalry,’ ’Noble Feuds,’ ’Wealth Inheritance Battles.’

So, he spoke loudly enough for Peter, who was crying in his mother’s arms, to stop his tears and also caused Kirill’s expression to shift...

Mountain Eagle expected Kirill to say something to smooth things over, but to his surprise, Kirill nodded and said, "Yes, our family’s phones were all being monitored...

The day after Peter was kidnapped, the kidnappers contacted us with demands, and then my father’s security advisor discovered that all our phones were tapped. Even though we kept the original phones, we switched communication methods when discussing important matters.

Peter was unaware, so when he called to reassure his mother, he used her phone..."

’His mother...’

With those words, Mountain Eagle knew that Kirill and Peter were likely half-brothers sharing the same father.

It also seemed that Peter’s mother was probably more of a trophy wife, so the Malofiev father and son wouldn’t bother to inform her about serious matters.

Kirill looked at the suddenly quiet scene, addressed Shao Yigu, saying, "Minister, I think we need a quiet place.

Some matters are not suitable to be discussed in this setting..."

With that, Kirill glanced at Irina and her daughter, gave a slight nod with an assuring smile, then turned to Mountain Eagle and said, "Since the kidnappers also took Irina, that indicates they have made similar demands on Irina’s family...

Gentlemen, our enemy wants to destroy the efforts we’ve put in over the last six months, we cannot let them succeed, can we?"

Kirill’s somewhat cryptic words confused Mountain Eagle, but he quickly put together the stance of the Malofiev family and Rodkin’s significant identity and deduced some information...
