Chapter 598 There is a big shot on the ship
Old Booth lay on the bed and lay awake until midnight. Finally he picked up the phone and called the consultant in.
"Blanton, Xia Chuan is claiming [-] million US dollars, what do you think of this matter?" Old Booth motioned to Brandon to sit down.
After Brandon sat down, he had already thought of his answer:
"I guess when he said you bear the consequences, he was referring to the old man. He thought he could kill so many people without leaving any evidence last time and take away Maxim's head. This time he could also take Anna away and go directly back to the Far East.
And many of us will die. Xia Chuan thought that we would suffer this loss in vain. How is that possible?The people in the Jing Bureau are not CIA spies who destroy files. They must answer to the people when they die. If Xia Chuan refuses to hand over the murderer, his property will be seized. "
Old Booth pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, this matter will not evolve to that point." He explained the military's plan to bomb and sink the smuggling ship on the high seas.
Brandon frowned slightly: "Are you sure that the old man is on the ship?"
"No one saw him. Just like when he came to the United States and killed so many people, no one saw him. There are no entry and exit records of the plane, and the flight attendant has never seen this person. But who else besides him?"
Old Booth had a headache. The CIA couldn't find out whose name the old man was using or whose mask he was wearing.
Brandon said: "I believe it's the veteran. But I don't think we can attack the smuggling ship. Xia Chuan is not that stupid. He will let the veteran take the same route again."
"Don't worry about this. The old man is brave and foolhardy. He didn't listen to Xia Chuan at all. Moreover, after the call was made to the Far East, the old man rushed out of the Far East Bank in less than a minute. Did Xia Chuan have time to say a few words?" Old Booth disagreed.
"Then where did he go?"
"He went to Liu Zhenhai's trading company. There must be a secret escape route there. This is normal for smuggling gangs."
"If he hadn't forgotten to hide his whereabouts, why did he have to repeat that route?"
Old Booth shrugged: "Even if the bombing was wrong, it was just a smuggling ship. And there are arrangements at the airport. No matter who he is disguised as, no matter which route he takes, whether it is Luo Pheasant or San Francisco, he can be recognized by his body shape. Then he’s dead.”
Brandon was speechless.
Old Booth pondered: "What I feel uneasy about is Xia Chuan's claim for [-] million US dollars. It seems that there is a conspiracy involved. What do you think Xia Chuan will do if he wants to take revenge?"
Brandon said: "Short Wall Street, let the stock market crash, and the media continue to exaggerate, then we will be under too much pressure."
"It's impossible to short Wall Street. He doesn't have the strength yet." Old Booth vetoed it.
Brandon said: "Withdrawal is very possible. His equity is not locked except for Dell. What if he takes advantage of the trend and sells it?"
Old Booth's lips twitched slightly, "Then his losses will be great."
"In his eyes, if personal safety cannot be guaranteed, you must withdraw your capital, otherwise it will only make money for us. And we have indeed crossed the line on this matter. The murder of a seasoned man must have nothing to do with Anna, and Xia Chuan cannot make such a low-level mistake. Therefore, If he withdraws funds, we must be prepared to withstand strong pressure. From the consortium, from the media, and from Clinton." Brenton's expression was very solemn.
Old Booth felt a little tricky:
"We are just causing some trouble for Creton and cannot sacrifice national interests. If it evolves to the point of withdrawing from the United States, then in order to eliminate the threat, we can only label Xia Chuan a terrorist, confiscate his assets, and then assassinate Xia Chuan .
This is the worst-case scenario for the United States.
Xia Chuan's reputation is too high. He himself does not participate in black affairs or politics at all. The terrorists are too reluctant. If the assassination is successful, our reputation will be ruined and we will suffer international condemnation. But if Xia Chuan does not die, he will stay in China with all his heart. It's scarier for us. "
Brandon frowned: "If you blow up the smuggling ship, can you confirm whether the old man is inside?"
"It should be possible. The submarine only fires ordinary torpedoes, which will not be fragmented and unrecognizable. Then the detection sonar will lock on, and anyone who jumps to escape will be found. If no one escapes, divers will go down and search the entire ship, and they will be able to determine it soon. If it is blown up, We will release him immediately."
Brandon said: "If you don't kill them, you have to release them, and then immediately send people to communicate with Xia Chuan to negotiate, and on the condition of giving up killing the old Taoist, everyone will take a step back. Otherwise, it will definitely evolve into the worst situation. I have a hunch that Xia Chuan will The reason for the next 48 hours is because tomorrow is New Year’s Day and the stock market is closed!”
Old Booth was suddenly startled: "Is he really going to short Wall Street?"
"Otherwise?" Brandon shrugged: "Otherwise why 48 hours?! Why not let us release people 24 hours a day?"
Old Booth thought quickly, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. If Xia Chuan was not absolutely sure, how could he ask for compensation of not more than [-] million?
He finally understood the reason for the vague uneasiness.
"Wait and see. The ship hasn't reached the high seas yet. Let's wait until it explodes."
……
At the dinner table, Xia Chuan told the whole story, and Fei'er and Meng Yi suddenly became very solemn.
Fei'er took a deep breath to calm down the worries in her heart and said, "How do you conclude that the old Taoist will be a Japanese ship instead of Yanjing?"
"A seasoned person doesn't like to take detours. If you ask him to go to Yanjing, that's the wrong direction. Although the time is almost the same."
"No. He doesn't have the patience to wait for the ship to leave. He needs to vent his anger. Even if he can't take the train, he will probably find a car to drive by himself. Well, walking to Harbin and taking a plane to Yanjing is the most likely option... I'll go again Think about it.”
Mayfair took a deep breath again, letting herself get rid of emotional interference and enter the best state, staring into the void.
Mengyi's eyes were mixed. Regardless of whether this conclusion was true or false, Mayfair's value was irreplaceable.
Xia Chuan and the other three were silent, waiting for her to finish thinking.
After a full 10 minutes, Fei'er said: "The old man is not on board."
The three of them were slightly shocked. This time Fei'er spoke with certainty, not reasoning.
Zang Hong asked hurriedly: "Why?"
Mayfair's cheeks turned red, "There is no reason."
Zang Hong and Mengyi looked confused. There is no reason why you are talking nonsense?
Xia Chuan believed it instead. Telepathy was a more accurate judgment than anything else.
Fei'er asked again: "Can you ask Sister Yuhua to go to Yanjing in person to intercept him?"
"He doesn't listen to me, but he can listen to Yuhua?" Xia Chuan asked.
Fei'er smiled and said: "The old Taoist said that among women, Yuhua has the best character."
Meng Yi chuckled, "Damn it, I just have a good drinker and good character, I'll take it."
Zang Hong immediately said: "Even if he doesn't listen to Yuhua, let him call Feier's head office, right?"
Xia Chuan nodded, stood up and dialed Jiang Yuhua's phone number:
"Yuhua, go to Yanjing to see mother."
"it is good."
Then both of them died.
The three of them were stunned for a long time. Did these two people never need to communicate with each other?
As for Xia Chuan not saying anything, they understood that it was not too late to call Jiang Yuhua when he arrived in Yanjing, so that the whereabouts of the veteran would not be exposed.
Fei'er smiled and said, "You have to cheat Fourth Brother."
"No, I have to teach old Booth a lesson. He probably thinks that I don't have the ability to short Wall Street. That's good. He will pay a heavy price for his arrogance and let all the media prepare for bombing. There are big shots who died on the boat." Xia Chuan's eyes were stern. .
