Chapter 523: You Can Choose to Trust Me (Part One)
Hawking came out of the emba.s.sy surrounded by heavy security detail. After he got into the extended sedan, the car began moving with MI6’s black Mercedes following on all four sides.
“Dr. Hawking, how are you feeling right now?” a young British female agent kindly asked with a smile.
The reason she was picked to closely protect Hawking was, firstly she knew how to take care of elders, and secondly, she was also an ace in MI6.
“Very well, I feel like I regained my youth.” Hawking smiled.
“That’s good, we are going back home today. The long trip might be tiring, so you can try and get some rest,” the agent said to him.
Hawking nodded, and he blankly looked at the female agent and asked, “We are going to be fine, right?”
The female agent shook her head. “There won’t be any problem, Dr. Hawking, no need to worry.”
The fleet of cars slowly traveled on the road, and there were police escorts along the way as well.
When they arrived at the airport, they found the whole place to be very crowded.
The private plane prepared by the British government was on standby already, but just as everyone escorted Hawking to the security check, something still happened.
There were over a dozen youngsters that pretended to be big fans of Hawking as they all swarmed over to ask for signatures.
“Dr. Hawking, we are all Harvard students and we really admire you and your work in quantum physics. Can you briefly answer a few questions we have on this topic? Please!”
“Dr. Hawking, can I take a picture with you?”
“Dr. Hawking, can I have your signature?”
The MI6 agents were all having a headache.
“Sorry, right now we can’t do any of that.” The police and agents kept Hawking in the middle and kept on moving.
But, those students all tried really hard to squeeze to get closer, and even the agents were having trouble.
At this time, one of the students suddenly reached out in an attempt to steal or grab the pa.s.sport from an agent’s hand, but he got caught. The agent immediately grabbed him by the collar and scolded, “F*ck! You better have a good explanation for what you just did!”
“I don’t know what you are talking about. Why are you grabbing onto my collar?” The student acted innocent.
The agents all had a bad feeling about what was going to happen.
“Hurry and take Dr. Hawking through the security check and enter the cabin,” the captain of the team for this mission said to the agents in a low voice.
That female agent nodded and helped Dr. Hawking towards the security checkpoint.
The other agents stayed and tried to stop the students from going further.
The female agent escorted Dr. Hawking with another agent and arrived at the checkpoint.
“I’m sorry, Miss, you can’t bring firearms past this point.”
The agent narrowed her eyes. Are these guys looking for trouble?”
“Don’t you see my identification? Our emba.s.sy has already made a negotiation with your higher-ups.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t receive any information on allowing you guys to bring guns on board. Please don’t make this difficult for us,” the security officer said.
The female agent really wanted to curse. Her colleague held her back and said, “Let’s not cause more trouble. Just hurry up and board the plane and leave this d.a.m.n place.”
The female agent nodded as she left her gun at the security checkpoint and walked towards the direction of their flight.

On the way, when a big man in a trench coat walked past the three of them, he suddenly threw a powerful kick at the other agent, sending him flying away. The female agent subconsciously pushed Dr. Hawking to the side and began fighting the big man.
Just at that moment, a person suddenly came from behind Dr. Hawking and covered his mouth with a piece of cloth as he dragged him towards a door. Not long after, Hawking pa.s.sed out.
Seeing the commotion, the other agents that were on the way walking over immediately ran over, wanting to chase after the other man in the black trench coat that took Hawking away.
That man directly walked down the corridor into an elevator. There was a giant suitcase inside, and he quickly took off his trench coat and revealed another outfit, and then he put both the clothes and Hawking into the suitcase. Putting on a pair of gla.s.ses, looking completely different than just a second ago, he pushed the cart out once the elevator reached the ground floor and went towards the pickup zone of the airport.
Back at the airport, those MI6 guys were scrambling for leads. Some chased out of the airport to look for suspicious vehicles, while some went to the surveillance room. The guy that was keeping the female agent occupied immediately disappeared into the crowd moments after Hawking was taken away.
The man in gla.s.ses that were pushing Hawking waved down a cab. The cab took him out to a place about 5 kilometers away from the airport. After getting off, he directly got onto a big bus that was parked by the side of the road.
And on this big bus, there were black curtains pulled all the way down, and it was pitch dark inside. There were a few CIA agents sitting inside, and they all looked at Hawking when the man opened the suitcase and rolled him out.
Hawking also woke up and saw them. Upon seeing the way they were dressed, he bitterly smiled. “This isn’t fun at all.”
“We aren’t playing with you. If you want to play, there’s only one way. Either join the M Nation and serve the 5th Division or… A few days after today, we will direct a tragedy to be posted on the news saying how you were abducted and killed. You know our Hollywood screenwriters never lack a good plot.”
“I’m already this old, how much time would I have left to work for you guys anyway? You are overestimating me.” Hawking bitterly smiled.
“You don’t have to serve us, but you definitely can’t work for any nation besides the M Nation. Do you get what we mean?”
Hawking didn’t want to compromise. “I was kidnapped at the M Nation airport and got into an accident, how does the M Nation plan to answer the U.K.?”
“We don’t need you to remind us about this. Our nation is a diverse country, and we have people here from all over the world. It could be anyone. As long as the U.K. doesn’t have any evidence directly pointed at us, would we have the final say? Could it be that the U.K. dares to use force against us?”
Just then, the bus driver heard someone knocking on his window.
“Buddy, give me a ride.”
The driver rolled down the window and said impatiently, “Go away!”
The one greeting him was indeed Xu Cheng. He suddenly dragged the driver’s head out of the window and twisted his neck, and then he threw him onto the pa.s.senger seat.
Xu Cheng directly got onto the driver’s seat and started the engine.
Inside the bus, they didn’t realize that the driver was changed. Along the way, Li Wei jumped onto the car and took over the steering wheel.
Xu Cheng jumped onto the top of the bus, walked to the back, and jumped down, and kicked into the back window, sliding into the bus.
There were five people inside, 4 of whom were CIA agents, and there was also a big man in gla.s.ses.
Xu Cheng killed all five of them in a split second.
Then, he took off the mask he used to disguise himself and revealed his true look. Looking at Hawking, he said, “When you don’t trust nations, you can also choose to trust me. Just like how I can save you from illnesses that no doctor in this world can.”
