Chapter 104 It’s too late

As she spoke, the White Widow waved to the bartender for another glass of wine, but Jiang Shan snatched the glass of wine away and put it down gently.

Then he put his arms around the White Widow's strong, slender waist, and almost pulled her into his arms. He put his mouth close to her face and said, "I actually hate witty remarks, but because your temperament is different from other women, I will indulge you."

Widow Bai's expression tensed slightly, and she twisted her body in an attempt to break free, but she found that Jiang Shan's arms were like steel and did not move at all.

"So what?" The White Widow's expression changed, her eyes filled with mist.

Jiang Shan laughed, and with a backhand slap, he knocked down a white man who was walking towards him aggressively and said, "I am the knife and you are the fish. Where is the plutonium core?"

The White Widow smiled, moved in Jiang Shan's arms, put her chin on his shoulder, and chuckled, "Take me away, I will tell you."

Jiang Shan laughed: "Okay."

Jiang Shan put his arm around her waist and they walked towards the bar.

The White Widow said, "You hit my brother. That slap didn't seem to be light. I hope you will be gentler next time."

She waved away several of her men who had surrounded her, turned her head sideways, and looked at Jiang Shan as she walked: "It is necessary for a male to show his strength to a female."

Just as she said this, a figure rushed out from the crowd, holding a shining dagger in his hand, and stabbed the White Widow who was half leaning in Jiang Shan's arms.

Jiang Shan kept his eyes looking forward, and slapped the man with his hand, causing him to spin 720 degrees in the air and fly three meters away, landing in the crowd and knocking down two or three people.

He walked along the way, and along the way people jumped out; after one person jumped out, he slapped him in the face; after one slap, he did a big spin 720 degrees in the air.

Suddenly there was a gunshot. Almost a second before the gunshot, Jiang Shan's arm around the White Widow moved slightly, and the White Widow's body moved forward an inch. A bullet narrowly passed by the back of her head two centimeters away and hit the wall on one side, making a hole.

The White Widow just looked at Jiang Shan, her whole body hanging on his arm.

It seemed that at this moment, there was only one face and one person in her world.

"Let me lend you my dagger." Jiang Shan said this. The White Widow was almost unaware when she saw that Jiang Shan was holding the dagger that belonged to her in his hand. The dagger was placed close to her body in the sheath on her white silk legs.

She hardly saw Jiang Shan make any movement before the dagger disappeared.

Then, she heard a scream in her ears. She couldn't help but turn her head to look, and saw a man with a gun in the crowd, with her dagger stuck in his heart, slowly falling down.

When Ethan, Walker and Elsa arrived here, there was only a mess; there was nothing left except for about eighty corpses lying all over the place.

Ethan was stunned for a while, then said, "Are we late? What happened here?!"

"It's obvious." Walker walked to a body and squatted down.

Then the second and the third.

He frowned, examined the bodies, and said, "Among the ten victims, seven were killed by heavy blows to the head. Their eyeballs were blown out. Half of their faces collapsed, and brains were flowing out of their ears."

"Of the other three, one was stabbed through the heart with a dagger, and the other two were pierced through the heart by the legs of the same chair."

He picked up a broken chair, shook it, and threw it aside.

"One more thing." Elsa also checked the bodies and said, "Those killed by daggers and chair legs were all armed."

She kicked and kicked a pistol out of a corpse.

Ethan walked back and forth a few steps and asked, "Besides us, are there other people involved? I mean, agents from other countries?"

Walker and Elsa both looked at him.

Ethan said: "This is not the work of an ordinary person."

"What should we do now?" Elsa asked.

Ethan hesitated for a moment and said, "Request intelligence assistance from above."

Said, "The White Widow is gone, and we must find her again."

Walker looked unhappy: "You are right, someone else intervened."

The three people quickly left the scene and then parted ways - Elsa looked at Ethan deeply, then left alone; Ethan contacted his two teammates - Benjy and Luther, and then came to a complex corridor under an old building with Walker.

“It doesn’t look like it’s going well.”

Luther was a fat black man. Seeing that Ethan and Walker both looked serious, he couldn't help but ask, "Can I know what happened?"

The skinny Benji, who was fiddling with a computer, looked up and said, "Ethan missed the White Widow? That's right, the White Widow left the Grand Palais in Paris with a young man with an oriental face. Look, I found the surveillance video."

Ethan and Walker hurried to Benjy's computer. On the screen, the short scene was replaying continuously - the White Widow was hugged by a young man with an oriental face and walked past the camera.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Ethan and Walker looked at each other.

Ethan said, "Banjhi, immediately find all the information about the young man with an unfamiliar oriental face."

Then he looked at Walker and said, "I think we all need to make a report to our superiors."

Walker shrugged.

Ethan walked aside, took out his cell phone, and called his boss, an old white man named Allen.

Here, Walker also walked into the depths of darkness and took out his cell phone.

He first dialed the secret number of his boss, the black woman, Erica Sloane, and recounted the previous experience at the Grand Palais in Paris, saying, "Ethan and I both suspect that a third party is involved."

The black woman was silent for a while on the phone: "I will investigate."

Hang up the phone.

Walker stood there for a moment, then took out a cell phone and dialed the number, whispering, "A third party has set its sights on the plutonium core. The situation has changed. Find a way to contact the White Widow. I want to know who the third party is!"

He added: "Start the second plan and find the apostle. The intervention of a third party has made the situation unpredictable. So, find the apostle and seize the plutonium core!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

Compared to Ethan and Walker, after leaving the Grand Palais in Paris, Elsa went to the rooftop of a tall building and called someone in MI6 who was responsible for this matter.

Elsa explained the situation and then said, "I killed John Lark. Ethan Hunt decided to pretend to be John Lark to contact the White Widow, but the intervention of a third party prevented the plan to use the White Widow and Ethan to hijack Solomon Lane's prison van from happening."

"If no one hijacks the prison van, it will be hard for me to find an opportunity to strike."

There was silence on the phone for a while, and then the reply came: "Keep the plan unchanged for now."

He said: "The only condition for the Apostle to hand over the plutonium core is Solomon Lane. No matter who the transaction partner is, you must rescue Solomon. Whether it is Ethan Hunt or a third party, it makes no difference to you."
