Chapter 523: You Can Choose to Trust Me (Part One)
Hawking came out of the embassy 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 passport 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 embassy 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 damn place.”
The female agent nodded as she left her gun at the security checkpoint and walked towards the direction of their flight.
