Chapter 80 Disguise
During the day, they slept, and at night, they ordered takeout and gathered together for "war room" sessions.
Idealism is plump, reality is skeletal.
No matter how the two planned, they couldn't avoid Li Decha and the forces behind him. Roui's half-year of hard work in the United States had vanished overnight.
Just as the two were frowning, someone knocked on their door.
They hadn't ordered takeout. Why would someone visit in the middle of the night?
Fatty made a silencing gesture, then pulled out his gun and tiptoed to the door.
The person outside knocked a few times, and when no one answered, leaned against the door and whispered, "It's me, Jennifer."
Fatty heard Jennifer's voice and opened the door.
Jennifer slipped into the room.
Seeing that it was Jennifer, Roui asked, "How did you know our location?"
Jennifer said breathlessly, "That modified car has encrypted location information."
"Did anyone follow you?" Roui asked anxiously.
Jennifer waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, I came out through a secret passage. They haven't found out yet; they probably still think I'm at home."
Roui asked, "Who are 'they'?"
Jennifer said, "The same group as Li Decha, following the old man's orders."
Roui said in surprise, "You mean they're from the Z organization?"
Jennifer nodded. "I was quite surprised too. Unexpected, right? The organization's higher-ups not only don't trust you, they also planted spies around you."
"That explains everything. The higher-ups of the Z organization learned the truth about Daniel's death in the Himalayas by planting Li Decha around us, and later discovered the young master's unusual physical condition. Given the young master's physical condition, they couldn't intervene in advance, so they had to observe from the shadows. Later, when we made plans to go to sea, they were delayed by something, so they didn't keep up with our pace. That's why we found them waiting outside when we came out of the underwater stone city."
Roui pondered, but even knowing the truth didn't provide a good solution.
Jennifer said to Roui, "I risked coming to find you, first, to tell you the real situation; second, to tell you that the Z organization has started a very detailed search for you two. All transportation hubs have been staked out. You have nowhere to escape."
Jennifer's second piece of news was bad, but Roui and Fatty grasped evidence that Han Yu was currently safe. Li Decha's urgency to take Han Yu away meant they needed something from her. The Z organization's urgent search for Roui and Fatty was likely because they had failed with Han Yu and wanted to use them as leverage.
Jennifer's visit brought Roui and Fatty a way out: "In the past few days, the organization has had a lot of big moves, heading to various countries to carry out operations. The organization has hired a large number of security personnel from the Blackwater Company. There are people I know in Blackwater, trustworthy people. I can get you into their ranks, and you can take the opportunity to escape."
Roui translated Jennifer's meaning to Fatty and asked for his opinion.
Fatty thought, this was playing the trick of hiding something in plain sight. As long as the person was trustworthy, there was no problem.
"What about you?" Roui asked.
Jennifer said, "Right now, I'm not useful to them. They're watching me to see if I contact you and try to track you down. You guys leave; don't worry about me. They won't do anything to me."
Seeing Roui's hesitation, Jennifer said, "Don't worry. I'll notify you as soon as I have news about Han Yu. Take this."
Jennifer handed Roui a device that looked like a cell phone. "This is an encrypted phone. It can only receive messages. Take it. If I have news, I'll contact you through it."
"The first security team to leave the United States is expected to depart next month. I'll arrange for you to join them a week before they leave. There are many different races in this security team, including whites, Asians, and blacks, so you won't arouse suspicion, but everyone will speak some English..." Jennifer pointed at Fatty and said to Roui, "Have Fatty learn to communicate in English within two weeks."
Jennifer gave a few more instructions, then left quietly.
Fatty was unfamiliar with the United States, and his reconnaissance techniques were useless here. It was unrealistic to fight the Z organization on American soil. Since Han Yu was currently safe, it was better to follow Jennifer's arrangements.
However, when Fatty learned that he had to learn to speak English in two weeks, he said with a look of panic, "Damn, how is that possible? I'm not a genius."
Roui had expected Fatty to back down, so she used Han Yu to motivate him. This worked, and Fatty reluctantly began learning English with Roui.
Fatty wasn't completely hopeless. Although he didn't have a special talent for languages, after more than a week of intense study, he could basically communicate normally with short sentences, although his pronunciation was a bit strange.
The two didn't dare to stay in one place for long, so they moved between several small towns. Since Jennifer could find them based on the modified Jeep's location, they didn't have anything to worry about.
Three weeks later, Jennifer contacted Roui and Fatty on time, saying that in a week, a group of mercenaries would be leaving the United States for an unknown destination. Jennifer gave them a location and arranged a time, and someone would pick them up then.
Roui and Fatty waited at the agreed location for their contact—a white man driving a taxi who looked ordinary. He didn't seem like a professional at all, but Fatty understood that the most unassuming people were often the real experts.
There were uniforms, equipment, and disguises for Fatty and Roui in the car.
The white taxi driver said, "Change on the way. Let's go."
After Roui and Fatty disguised themselves, their original features were completely unrecognizable. Fatty had a mustache glued to his lip, and his eyebrows were designed with a broken line, making him look like a battle-hardened veteran. Roui wore colored contact lenses that turned her blue pupils brown, and used hair dye to dye her blonde hair black. After makeup and eyebrow shaping, Roui was transformed into a Latin American woman.
Undoubtedly, Roui was professionally trained in disguise.
