Wang Ye frowned deeply and asked without giving anything away, "Whose people?"
Korokoli shook his head and replied in a muffled voice:
"We haven't found out yet, but the actual operatives came from Chechnya. To avoid alerting them, I haven't moved to arrest them yet, so I don't know who exactly is behind them.
You know our department's responsibilities are rather broad, and we have many intelligence channels. We pay especially close attention to underground information.
Just yesterday, my men reported that several people from Chechnya had been furtively monitoring Governor Rosiana's movements. They were most likely up to no good.
Combined with what happened to Chairman Gryzlov last night, I felt the situation might be serious, so I came to report to you in person today.
Whether we arrest them directly or continue watching them for now, Chairman, you decide.
Even if something like this were discussed over a secure phone line, it wouldn't truly be secure!"
Wang Ye nodded as he thought it over, then said gravely, "No need to rush into making arrests. Rosiana has ample security, and a few amateurs would basically have no chance of getting to her. As for my estate, there's even less to worry about there.
If they really intend to act, they may wait until Rosiana is out somewhere, when the people around her are more disorganized. I'll remind her to avoid going out recklessly these next few days.
As for arresting them...
Keep a closer watch on them and see whether they make contact with whoever is directing them behind the scenes in the next few days.
But if you discover that they're about to make a move, or that they can't find an opportunity and are preparing to leave, arrest them immediately."
