Before Shen Ye could answer, Cui Zhiyun spoke up first, "Of course."

Shen Ye looked at her curiously, and then heard Jill explain to him, "Zhiyun's mission this time is for Soy. To be honest, Soy is also on our BSAA's key monitoring list, but there are too many things going on in Europe, and Chris and the others have been unable to get away."

"What are Chris and the others doing in Europe?" Shen Ye was very curious about this.

“I’m not sure. Chris didn’t tell me. He just said he was going to a village to look for someone. I spoke to him on the phone a few days ago, and he told me he ran into Leon there.” Jill shrugged.

“Leon…” Shen Ye understood who they were looking for, but he didn’t expect Chris to be involved as well.

"Hey, let's get back to the point." Choi Ji-woon was annoyed that the two had gone off-topic. She banged on the table, but it didn't attract their attention. Instead, it startled Irina, who was eavesdropping in the corner. Irina hurriedly grabbed the plate that she almost overturned.

"Alright, let's get back to the point." Facing Choi Ji-yun's displeased look, Shen Ye shrugged like Jill and then asked Revy, "When are you leaving?"

Levi said, "Dutch said the sooner the better, so we'll set off tonight, and after dinner we'll go to the Moscow Hotel to pick up Soy around eight o'clock."

Shen Ye thought for a moment and nodded, "Tonight? Okay, we'll arrive at the Moscow Hotel before eight o'clock."

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Seeing that Shen Ye agreed, Levi said with a smile.

“We’re friends, so I can help you with this,” Shen Ye said.

Of course, it wasn't just because they were friends; the key was to prevent anything from happening to Soi. As the chief researcher who had participated in many classified studies, her importance was self-evident.

After lunch, Levi said goodbye, and Shen Ye and the others began packing their luggage to prepare for their departure.

"Shen, what about her?" Robert asked Shen Ye after preparing the necessary supplies for him, looking at Irina who was squatting helplessly in the corner.

Shen Ye thought for a moment and said, "Let's take her with us."

"But wouldn't that be too much trouble?" Robert didn't want Irina to come along, mainly because Irina had taken away too much of Robert's work lately. Now, the only thing Robert could do was cook three meals a day. Choi Ji-yun had dumped all the laundry and other chores on Irina, making Robert feel that she hadn't been able to fully fulfill her duties as a maid.

“So let’s just kill her,” Robert added.

Seeing that Shen Ye looked reluctant, she changed her mind and said, "Letting her go is fine too."

"No." At that moment, Choi Ji-woon poked his head out of the room and said.

“I wasn’t talking to you,” Robert said coldly, disliking her.

“I wasn’t talking to you, I was talking to your man.” Although Choi Ji-woon couldn’t beat Robert, he would never admit defeat verbally and immediately retorted.

……

(There was originally a lot more dialogue and plot to write, but it felt too wordy, so I've omitted it...)

Chapter 349! Gun License

……

However, Choi Ji-yun was only verbally defiant. When Robert's eyes narrowed and his expression turned hostile, she immediately shrank back into the room, closed the door, and left with the words, "Anyway, we can't let her go."

Looking at the closed door, Robert said to Shen Ye with dissatisfaction, "One day I'll put a chain on her too."

Her voice was loud enough to be heard throughout the room. Irina, who was huddled in the corner, raised her head and looked on with anticipation in her eyes. She was eagerly looking forward to that day.

Shen Ye noticed Irina's actions and knew what she was thinking without even guessing. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Perhaps she wouldn't mind someone treating her like this."

Robert felt that Shen Ye's words made a lot of sense. Recalling what Cui Zhiyun had done these past few days, she snorted coldly: "A perverted woman."

"That's such a mild nickname..." Shen Ye patted Robert's waist: "You're praising her too much."

Robert was taken aback, realizing that it seemed to make sense, but she couldn't think of a more vicious word, so she could only snort coldly and leave.

After packing his things, Shen Ye spent the entire afternoon resting at home. During this time, he contacted Balalaika to inquire about the route to Bangkok. However, Balalaika did not elaborate on the phone, only saying that it was not yet finalized and that multiple modes of transportation might be required. The final itinerary still needed to be planned.

Since this was an escort mission assigned to them by Coco, Shen Ye didn't ask any questions over the phone. After all, Balalaika was a professional soldier and an officer, so in terms of action planning, she was actually much better than him, a half-baked soldier. After all, he had only studied theory for a short time, and there was no comparison between him and Balalaika, who came from a military academy.

They waited until the agreed meeting time, had dinner, and then drove to the Moscow Hotel. But when they arrived, they found that the people from the Black Lagoon agency were already there.

After getting off the bus, Shen Ye greeted Levi and Dutch, and then they all went into the Moscow Hotel. Robert and the others stayed behind, as they still needed to keep an eye on Irina.

Whether she sees it or not doesn't matter. Choi Ji-woon has taken a lot of photos of Irina being disciplined these past few days. As long as she dares to run away, these photos will be directly sent to social media.

Her actions naturally displeased Shen Ye and Jill, but she still had her reasons, repeatedly saying that SL and the United States had done this kind of thing many times before, and she was not an isolated case, so she had no psychological burden at all.

So Shen Ye couldn't refute it again, and could only sigh that those who work as secret agents really have no bottom line.

Leaving aside the matter between Irina and Choi Ji-yun, after Shen Ye and his group entered the Moscow Hotel, they were led to Balalaika's office by their adjutant. In the office, in addition to their target, Soi, there were also members of the Triads.

Seeing Shen Ye and the others enter, Balalaika glanced at Gil and Choi Ji-yun, who had followed Shen Ye in, and then pointed to the sofa in the room with the finger holding a cigar: "Please sit down."

After Shen Ye and the others were seated, Daqi, who had come in with them, asked, "Balalaika, have you planned the route?"

“It’s all done.” Balalaika nodded, then turned to look at Soi and said, “Because Coco repeatedly emphasized that the people we are protecting are very important, I’ve decided to give up on sea transport, which is currently the most convenient option for us. After all, you don’t want to repeat the scene of torpedo boats being chased by armed helicopters, do you?”

“Of course.” Dutch nodded. “Thinking back to that scene, I feel that if we hadn’t been lucky and the other party was an arrogant guy, we probably would have been drowned and eaten by sharks long ago.”

Shen Ye also vividly remembered that scene, so he nodded and replied, "So, Balalaika, you plan to have us take the land route? But if we drive, we might not fare much better if we encounter an attack similar to the one last time."

As the system said, although this world has undergone sublimation and some people with special abilities will appear, he has tried several times in the past few days and found that several of the professional skills he obtained cannot be used normally, especially the female ghost swordsman skills and the mechanic skills. However, the skills of the other classes of the female gunner are not affected, especially the skills of the wandering gunner. Except for the first awakening, all other skills can be used. However, if he encounters an attack by armed helicopters, he will still find it a bit troublesome.

“Of course I won’t let you drive the whole time. Even though Thailand is small, it still takes a day to get from Roanapur to Bangkok. If something happens on the way and you’re delayed, it will probably take even longer. So my plan is for you to drive to Krabi, a nearby tourist city, and then take the train to Bangkok from there,” Balalaika said. “Although Roanapur is a lawless area, it’s not very convenient to carry guns in other cities outside of here. So I’ve prepared gun licenses for you. With them, you can carry rifles on the streets.”

As she spoke, the adjutant beside her took out a stack of palm-sized gun licenses and distributed them to Shen Ye and the others.

However, only Levi and Dutch from Black Lagoon accepted the offer, while Beni and Locke did not.

“This is an escort mission, there’s no point in us going,” Locke explained.

"Oh!" Shen Ye nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

When the adjutant approached Jill and Choi Ji-woon, hesitating about whether to give them gun licenses, Choi Ji-woon took out her own identification and waved it in front of him, saying, "I don't need it."

She is different from Jill. Jill's BSAA is not an internationally recognized organization, and she must report when she carries a gun. But she has an official organizational background, so she has the right to carry a gun in most countries.

Of course, the mainland of Country Z is not included here. No foreign power is allowed to possess guns in the country, with almost no exceptions.

Seeing that Cui Zhiyun didn't want it, the adjutant only gave Jill one copy, but then Shen Ye stopped him again: "Give us two more copies."

Actually, he didn't need this thing. He had the system space, which made it much easier for him to carry guns than others. But he was still a little excited to use the gun license for the first time. The experience of openly carrying a gun on the street was something that could never be experienced in reality. The other two were for Robert and Fabiola.

Shen Ye took the gun license from his adjutant and curiously opened it to take a look. He found that there was no photo on it, nor was there any restriction on the type of firearm, which puzzled him.

Seemingly noticing Shen Ye's confusion, Balalaika explained, "This is Thailand, where you can carry a gun even without a gun license. So this thing should actually be called a certificate that allows you to carry a gun on the street, so naturally, no photo or anything like that is needed."

……

Chapter 350! Thrift is a virtue

……

Balalaika's explanation was very simple, so Shen Ye didn't ask any further questions and simply put away the three gun licenses.

Next, Balalaika had some more guns and ammunition delivered, all of which were active-duty military equipment, but unfortunately, there were no super weapons like rocket launchers that everyone wanted the most.

Of course, this is normal. Even the most liberal America would not allow people to carry rocket launchers or similar items on the street, unless it is in Africa.

In addition, Balalaika also prepared a very advanced communication device for everyone. In-ear headphones and Adam's apple microphones were rare in this era. Even the wealthy M Army only popularized them among its elite special forces. So everyone was surprised when they received this thing.

After distributing the equipment, Balalaika went on to explain the plans in more detail. For example, once they arrived at Krabi train station, someone would be responsible for taking them to the train. She also mentioned that she had contacted gangs with good relationships in Bangkok and Moscow hotels to meet them, including Shen Hua, a Triad member whom Zhang Weixin had sent to Bangkok in advance.

According to her subsequent words, as long as nothing goes wrong along the way, it will be an easy and enjoyable journey.

However, everyone understood that this was almost impossible, so everyone prepared for the worst.

Finally, Balalaika added, "Just drive directly to Krabi. Someone will contact you when you get to the train station. Once you board the train, the person who was supposed to pick you up will bring your car back, so don't worry about any unnecessary losses."

"That's very thoughtful, Balalaika." Shen Ye didn't care about the car at all, since it was a gift from Shen Hua, but he still said that.

“No matter what, every little bit helps,” Balalaika said, tossing the cigar between her fingers. “Thrift is a virtue.”

"It would be great if you could put it into practice." Shen Ye smiled as he looked at the cigar in the ashtray, which was only a third smoked.

Balalaika glared at him, but said helplessly, "I'll pick it up and keep smoking it."

Everything that needed to be said has been said, everything that needed to be arranged has been arranged, and everything is ready. The next step is implementation.

The group quickly went downstairs, split into three groups, and got into their respective cars.

Dutch and Levi were in the front car, Jill and Choi Ji-yun were in the middle car, along with Soi, while Shen Ye, with his maids and Irina, were in the back car. After saying goodbye to Balalaika and Zhang Weixin, the three cars drove directly out of the Moscow Hotel.

Watching the three cars disappear into the night, Balalaika lit another cigar and said to Zhang Weixin, "Boss Zhang, next, we need to get rid of the cockroaches in the house."

……

Before Shen Ye and his group even left Roanapur, intense gunfire erupted throughout the city, and judging from the direction the sounds were coming from, it seemed that every street in Roanapur was engulfed in flames.

In the car where Jill and Choi Ji-yun were, Choi Ji-yun, who was driving, heard the gunshots and said to Jill, "That guy named Balalaika, as expected of a tough guy from the former SL elite special forces, his efficiency is truly amazing."

With her official organizational background, she was naturally able to investigate Balalaika's identity. However, her main responsibility was to combat terrorist organizations that threatened world security, and she didn't care about gangster organizations like the Moscow Hotel.

Of course, if she could find out Balalaika's identity, Balalaika could also find out hers. Although Balalaika was now a gangster, many of her former comrades were still in the military, and many even worked in intelligence agencies. So when she saw Jill and Choi Ji-yun coming with Shen Ye, Balalaika was not surprised. She just glanced at them out of female instinct.

Upon hearing Cui Zhiyun's words, Jill was also surprised: "Not only is she efficient, she is also very patient. She probably noticed those outsiders who infiltrated on the first day, but I didn't expect her to wait until now to take action."

“But if that’s the case, if Irina hadn’t been captured by us back then, she would probably have been one of the targets for this cleanup,” Jill added.

"It sounds like she should be more grateful to us; we saved her life." Choi Ji-yoon glanced back at the car behind with a hint of regret. If Irina were there, she would definitely have given her a good laugh.

Jill glanced at her: "Do you think that's possible? Think about what you've done to her."
