Chapter 810 - 361: Prelude to the Summit (2)

Chapter 810: Chapter 361: Prelude to the Summit (2)

The National Security Bureau is using military-grade radios this time; without a special code, it’s impossible to enter the signal frequency band.

After debugging, he signaled to Gu Ji and Yan Yao to put on their hidden earpieces.

"Test! Test! Can you hear me?"

"Yes, we can."

Gu Ji and the others nodded separately.

"Turn it off after boarding the plane, and put it back on once we land in Romania."

"Understood!"

After arriving at the airport.

The following procedure was exactly as Qin Xingfeng had documented in the meeting last night.

A VVIP protocol: a VIP car service, airport staff provided guidance throughout, they used a separate internal passage and boarded the plane early, which is the standard configuration for officials above ministerial level.

In the eyes of major airlines, this belonged to the VVIP category.

They arrived in the Romanian capital Bucharest at 2:03 PM.

Romania is located in Southeastern Europe, and those who know history understand the complex and tumultuous situation here, often referred to as the "powder keg," making it one of the fixed locations for international anti-terrorism conferences, having hosted two sessions so far.

After the plane landed.

With a single glance from Qin Xingfeng, Qi Dasheng immediately stood up, leaving his seat ahead to communicate with the purser at the exit.

Subsequently, the cabin door was opened early.

Qi Dasheng was the first to go out; after a while, he returned, "No problem, the officials from the Romanian Foreign Ministry and the police headquarters security are ready outside."

"Leader, shall we move?"

"Alright."

Upon hearing Qin Xingfeng’s cue, Qiao Jianchang then stood up.

At the scene, the personnel arrangement showed Qiao Jianchang walking ahead, with Qin Xingfeng and Qi Dasheng protecting him on the left and right, followed by the Counter-Terrorism Bureau and Comprehensive Intelligence Analysis Bureau.

"Mr. Liao, you go first, I’ll take care of the rear."

Gu Ji stopped in his tracks, put on the hidden earphone, and glanced at the other passengers in business class.

With such a grand setup, it’s hard not to attract attention, so he must ensure nothing goes wrong.

To give credit, Romania put on quite a spectacle for this conference; descending the boarding stairs, there were red carpets and the Romanian police honor guard.

Under the escort of on-site police officers and Gu Ji’s team, the group split into two and boarded bulletproof cars and buses, driving straight out of the airport into the city of Bucharest.

As the capital of Romania, Bucharest lacks the bustling vibe of an international metropolis; modern glass-curtain office buildings are mostly concentrated in the developing district, while the city center’s buildings are generally low-rise, all in classic European styles, with large domes and protruding load-bearing columns, giving off a Paris, France vibe.

The convoy headed north along the central boulevard until it stopped in front of a brown European hotel entrance.

The ground was still covered with red carpets and flowers.

"Gu Ji, Yan Yao, get off and inspect!"

"Yes!"

Gu Ji tapped the earpiece and then turned to say something to Chen Zhiyu and the others.

As soon as they got off the car, he consciously separated from Yan Yao, with the two of them walking one in front and one behind the bus, eyes scanning around quickly assessing the hotel surroundings.

This seemed to be a five-star luxury hotel, and not just one set of leaders had been received; the red carpet already bore many footprints and tire marks.

The streets around the hotel were all cordoned off by patrolling policemen, and even at the entrance, eight riot police officers armed with AK series replicas, the AIMS-74, stood guard.

Raising his head, Gu Ji’s gaze flashed like lightning over the high-rises across the street, pulling out binoculars to confirm there were no threats on the rooftops, then pressed the communication button.

"The rear direction is secure!"

"I’m secure over here too!"

"Secure!"

"You can let the leaders out of the vehicle."

With Qin Xingfeng making the final call, Gu Ji returned to the armored vehicle door, signaling to Chen Zhiyu with a glance, the whole process taking only a dozen seconds or so.

The hotel lobby was resplendent, yet eerily quiet.

There were only service personnel and police, not a single guest.

It seems the Romanian government rented the entire building, designating it as the special hotel for this international summit’s participating delegations.

They were allocated five rooms, one large and two small suites, and an executive room.

Conveniently, the department head and two bureau chiefs each had a suite, and the executive room was left to Chen Zhiyu and the female interpreter.

Gu Ji was "forced" to room with Shi Zhengmin.

No choice; as a security officer, he had to stay close to Liao Yunqing at all times to ensure the leaders’ safety.

And lacking a staff member to handle matters around Liao Yunqing, since Chen Zhiyu was female and it was inconvenient, Shi Zhengmin was left behind.

Fortunately, the second bedroom was divided into two beds.

Placing his briefcase on the bedside, Shi Zhengmin turned, seeing Gu Ji checking for bugs in the room, and couldn’t help but chuckle, "Don’t worry, Romania wouldn’t dare eavesdrop on us; if discovered, they’d pay a heavy price."

"I’m just worried about other forces stirring up trouble."

Gu Ji chuckled.

Despite having switched to a counter-blade system, the "danger plus one" principle in police tactics had never slipped his mind; at any given moment, he was prepared for the worst-case scenario; being cautious never hurt.

"You’re following this time not because of that girl Chen Zhiyu, but because of your capabilities."

Shi Zhengmin did not stop his checking but suddenly shifted topics, "I know you just returned from Brazil; you must have sensed the current severe situation with various forces and methods constantly emerging; having gone through the 10.16 capture and Japan foreign affairs actions, you should somewhat understand those things. We are entrusting you with Mr. Liao’s safety!"

"Mr. Shi, rest assured, I will do my utmost to ensure your safety!"

Gu Ji could faintly hear a sense of "regard him as one of their own" from Shi Zhengmin’s tone; truly working for national security, he would come into contact with a lot of intelligence and classified information.

But everything has two sides.

When it reached that point, his freedom would inevitably be restricted, making it difficult to secretly enter games and undertake challenges.

And leveling up through games is currently his greatest strength.

Losing it would not only slow his power growth, but lacking crisis points and honor points might also cause him to lose control over the 7472 unit.

The entire afternoon that followed...

Neither Chen Zhiyu nor the others were idle; they stayed in Qiao Jianchang’s suite for meetings.

Of course, they, as security personnel, including Qin Xingfeng, did not have the right to participate and had to guard outside unless a signal was sent from within, allowing them entry.

By evening, Qin Xingfeng received news that the Romanian Deputy Vice President and the Intelligence Bureau Director were hosting a cabinet-level dinner, inviting cabinet chiefs from various countries.

"I and Mr. Sun will accompany the cabinet chief tonight; you stay in the room. Inform me immediately if there’s any situation!"

"Understood."

As Gu Ji nodded, he suddenly noticed a suite door opening at the end of the corridor, and out came a tanned, sturdy foreigner in a linen gray shirt, with striking features.

"Are the Indian delegation staying across from us?"

Yan Yao raised an eyebrow.

What truly caught Gu Ji’s attention was that this guy was Vidhi Dali, the character he played during the Indian flood checkpoint!

After nearly half a year, Gu Ji faintly felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

But he dared not look too much, only using the ghost server’s linkage to confirm Vidhi’s identity.

Vidhi seemed to sense someone watching him and proactively clasped his hands at Yan Yao and the others, smiling with white teeth, to which Qi Dasheng responded with a slight wave out of courtesy.

"Seems like Vidhi holds a pretty high power status in India now, being able to stay with the head of India’s intelligence."

Gu Ji narrowed his eyes imperceptibly.

Just then, he received a game notification before his eyes.
