Victor felt somebody hitting his face, so he slowly opened his eyes.
He saw one of Efim’s followers, who only made a slight impression on him.
There was no conversation between them.
But what made him shocked was…
Efim’s current appearance! He was tied up! Efim looked indignant, apparently he was dissatisfied with his current situation.
But he had no idea to help get rid of it— because of the gun in his follower’s hand.
Obviously, something happened during when Victor fell unconscious. And Victor found he had been set apart from Efim.
He was vigilant to the follower with a weapon… but that person did not seemed to have any intention of hurting him.
Victor felt puzzled.
He stood up, but this man just showed him a smile.
“You…” Victor was confused with the situation right now.
At the moment, the man made a gesture; seeing this, Victor nodded with hesitation, and the two came to a corner to have a talk as keeping an eye on Efim.
The follower spoke first, “I think one minute later, Mr. Victor’s allies will come up here. And then you can handle the follow-up matters.”
Meanwhile, the man put away the pistol, and stretched out his hands toward Victor and made a gesture being handcuffed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVictor frowned, “I don’t understand.”
“It’s very easy,” the follower said quickly, “Arrest me too, so that I can be the witness and testify some crimes Efim did to reduce my penalty.”
“Are you a member of the Typica family?” Victor asked with astonishment— he had to think this way, and understood that he had to go against Efim because Urey had threatened him.
Thus, it was very easy to get this man’s words!
“I have nothing to do with the Typica Family.”
Unexpectedly, the follower shook his head and gave an answer that made Victor feel even more stunned, “As to the person… I think Mr. Victor will know that shortly after.”
Ding–!
That was the sound before the elevator door opened.
The follower hurriedly urged, “Come on, handcuff me!”
“Wait, say it clearly.” Victor frowned.
But at present, the follower shook his head, picking up Victor’s handcuffs and cuffed himself as well as squatting down the ground.
As the door opened, three policemen in uniform suddenly rushed in and saw the follower squatting on the floor. They walked to Victor and asked quickly.
Victor and the follower gazed at each other, then the follower suddenly said, “Sir, Efim hid plenty of criminal evidence in the room upstairs behind a bookcase wall… I will be a witness for a lighter sentence!”
“Oh, my God, Victor, what should we do right now?” After hearing it, a police officer looked at Victor and inquired.
He seemed to have a wolf by his ears.
Victor took a deep breath and said slowly, “Go upstairs to look for it. Order people to guard the entrance, stopping anyone from leaving the building.”
“Yes, sir!” the police officer gave a salute, and started quickly.
…
…
The building was very conspicuous and famous in the surrounding area—because many police cars showed up outside the building in idle hours.
And, onlookers clearly saw Mr. Efim being arrested by several police officers—the camera flashes were glistening as there were many journalists that appeared there.
Victor walked out. He lit up a cigarette, smoking slowly while watching Efim being taken into the police car, but he didn’t seem happy somehow.
At this time, he suddenly saw a black RV park at the roadside. Victor saw a familiar face when the car window was opened.
It was Brubov, who told him the time and address of the first auction of ‘The Nameless Maiden’.
However, Victor’s surprise didn’t last long.
He quickly calmed down, walking down the stairs as well as commanding the policemen’s activity. Eventually he crossed the crowd and quietly bypassed the touring car, entering in and sitting on the backseat from the other side.
“Victor, I’m glad to see you come out safely.” Brubov smiled, “As expected, you gave me a big surprise.”
“Brodov, tell me honestly… what did you do?” Victor asked with a serious look.
Brubov closed his eyes and slowly said, “Victor, do you remember what was my dream when I was young?”
Victor gave a start. He didn’t know why he had mentioned it; but nodded subconsciously, “You said that you want to change this country, so you’ve been fighting for it. Finally, you are now climbing up into the upper class. Brubov, with your ability, you can do something for the country now.”
“But it’s not enough.” Brubov shook his head, “No matter how many officers I know, I’m still a businessman even if I’m wealthy. I need to hold the power of speech.”
Thinking that Efim was a member of parliament, Victor suddenly understood something, “You want to replace Efim?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Efim can’t escape this time.” Brubov sneered, “Once he was convicted, someone will recommend me to replace him in the Parliament.”
Victor couldn’t help being silent; after a long time, he stared at Brubov, who had been his friend for a long time, saying slowly, “Efim’s henchman had been bribed, you could have toppled him down earlier… but why didn’t you do it until today? You wanted me to catch him?”
Don’t you understand, Victor? Haven’t you wondered why you’ve caught by the Typica family, who didn’t kill you, but asked you to help them to deal with Efim?” Brubov softly said, “Victor, my power is limited. I need a partner, a sincere partner! I need you! Your boss is getting weak! After this issue, you should prepared for a great promotion!”
“What’s the relationship between you and the Typica Family?” Victor asked suddenly after taking a deep breath.
Brubov glanced at him; he only smiled, “The Typica Family is my partner for now.”
…
…
“Unexpectedly… Such a huge crocodile at the back wants to deal with Efim.”
Anna whispered behind the black touring car. She looked up at Luo Qiu suddenly, “Since when did Urey start to have contact with Brubov?”
“Contact?” Luo Qiu shook his head, “They had not get in touch before… It was the real successor of the Typica Family who did. Do you know what kind of business that family is doing? They hope to expand their transport channels, so they came to Moscow just for looking for cooperating parties. Of course, as what Ms. Anna witnessed, that Brubov is exactly the one that cooperate with the Typica Family.”
Luo Qiu said indifferently, “And then by coincident, Mr. Urey also plans to get revenge. He hopes to gain the power of revenge… Then I think that Mr.Brubov is the real power of getting revenge which we provided.”
“Since when…” Anna couldn’t help showing a wry smile.
Luo Qiu whispered, “I think it happened since you took out the painting from the gallery. Brubov intended to make Victor to be the new division head of the police station, so he told Victor the place for the first auction, and hoped to lead him to lend a hand in this issue to get enough benefits…Urey wanted revenge on Efim. The more miserable Efim is, the happier he is. Brubov bribed Efim’s follower, so he obtained many evidence of the crimes committed from Efim. Therefore Mr. Urey would be pleased to return the favor back to Brubov, and had Victor be the person to arrest Efim.”
Anna gnashed her teeth.
She wasn’t grateful for the person who saved her from death, but instead said with hate, “Brubov would have dealt with Efim anyway! Efim wouldn’t have a good ending… You knew this, but still took away all Urey owned… Demon! You are even worse than demon!”
Luo Qiu said calmly, “We didn’t force anyone. Mr. Urey chose this way, that’s all because the three gunshots he suffered from Ms. Anna on the platform, right?”
Anna’s lips moved, but couldn’t speak; she could only look up to the full moon.
“Although the three shots hit Mr. Urey and made him bleed a lot.” Luo Qiu said slowly, “But I don’t think it was enough to kill him. Did Miss Anna calculate the position you wanted to shoot? Because it was so accurate, I had to suspect it through this way. Of course…”
He shook his head, “I think Mr. Urey wouldn’t doubt this.”
“Stop talking!!!”
