Chapter 546: Really Can't Talk
[Raki, Funeral Home handled.]
On the Building Rooftop, Chi Feichi finished reading the email on his mobile phone and looked at the time.
Evening, 9:58.
He waited until the last moment to eliminate the person because he was worried about alarming Paul Adams and making him afraid to come over.
Although they held the leverage and the initiative, they weren't doing this to publish the materials, but to get the money.
He was also afraid of wasting their effort, scaring Paul away, failing to get the money, and also troubling a Group of Organization Members.
Even if the Action was canceled, Money would still have to be paid.
*Cough.*
If Paul was scared away this Time, and they proposed a Transaction here next Time, Paul would definitely sense the Abnormality and make more preparations.
And if they changed the Place next Time, it would be hard to find a Place so Suitable for luring out The other party's Sniper.
He was even more afraid that Paul Adams would go all out, take the Money, and run away directly, in which case they wouldn't get a single cent.
It was a situation where both sides were wary.
It's just that for Paul, he was gambling his life and death, while for him, he was gambling on one failed Action, one 'Loss'. He didn't have much pressure.
Fortunately, the Action didn't have any accidents, and by the way, they could also give Paul Adams a show of force, which would be convenient for later control.
Right, once extortion begins, it's not that easy to terminate.
...
One minute later.
Night, 9:59.
A Black Car and a Green Car stopped one after another in front of the Funeral Home.
Yingqu Yan Nan, wearing the Bearded Man's disguised face, parked the car, took out his mobile phone, and looked at the email. He said to Underberg in the passenger seat, "The situation is under control, it's a normal transaction."
Underberg nodded, pulled down his hat a bit, and, wearing gloves, picked up the document and got out of the car.
Yingqu Yan Nan also got out of the car, but didn't go far from the Car Door.
Paul Adams also got out of the car, walked towards Underberg with open hands, his face carrying an enthusiastic smile, as if seeing an Old Friend. "You guys are really punctual! You brought the original document I wanted, right?"
The Driver got out of the car and followed Beside Paul Adams, maintaining vigilance towards the two men in black in front of them.
"Of course," Underberg flipped open the document to a page, raised it to let Paul Adams see the content. At the same time, he was also paying attention to the bulge at the waist of that Driver and Paul Adams. "We request a transfer first."
Paul's Driver was also paying attention to the bulge in Underberg's right outerwear Pocket, while quietly observing the 'Bearded Man' There.
But Yingqu Yan Nan was standing Car Side, somewhat blocked, making it difficult for him to confirm if The other party was carrying a gun. He could only speculate that it was highly possible they were.
"Transfer first?" What Paul Adams paid attention to was the gloves on Underberg's hands. After a moment of thought, he pretended to hesitate and said, "Okay, but you have to keep your promise."
The other party was very cautious. It was probably impossible to find fingerprints on the document.
To find the person behind the scenes, they either had to take down these two people and directly interrogate them, or track them all the way to The other party's Lair.
The latter was possible to lose track of.
As for the former, with Sniper cooperation, it should be possible to get a live capture.
He had just now confirmed that everything was normal. The other party seemingly only had these two people come over. Then, they should first stabilize The other party and get the original document.
Underberg watched Paul Adams call the Swiss Bank, confirming that Paul Adams didn't say anything suspicious.
"Okay, let's wait. Although I contacted them in advance, they still need a bit of time, probably 15 minutes," Paul Adams finished calling and leaned against the Car Hood of his Car, with the appearance of a rich playboy. "I want to ask a question. Who was That Guy who contacted me initially? Didn't your Boss teach That Guy how to chat with people?"
Underberg: "..."
The one who contacted Paul Adams initially was Raki, right?
He really couldn't care about this.
Yingqu Yan Nan: "..."
This Person actually spoke ill of the Boss behind his back.
"Whoosh!"
A bullet hit the Ground.
At the same time, blood spurted from the Driver's arm.
"Clatter!"
A gun also fell onto the Ground with it.
Yingqu Yan Nan and Underberg immediately realized.
The other party actually intentionally spoke to distract their attention, letting the other Person sneak attack!
This Italian Driver could quietly reach for a gun under one's eyes. His arm was pierced by a sniper rifle bullet, leaving such a large blood hole, yet The other party didn't even grunt. He immediately tore his sleeve and tied it around his arm, and at the same time, blocked in front of Paul Adams, clearly willing to be a shield even without a gun.
A top-notch Bodyguard!
As Underberg realized, he immediately used his gun to shoot the gun on the Ground away, then raised his hand to point the muzzle towards the Two People opposite.
Yingqu Yan Nan also aimed his gun at the Two People opposite.
As for Paul Adams, seeing the Driver blocking in front of him, his hand also immediately reached towards his Pocket.
He hesitated a bit, but didn't take out his gun.
Taking out a gun was also useless.
The Sniper he had arranged had a problem!
He didn't believe that two Snipers who had retired from the Battlefield would aim at the wrong goal at a distance of 500 yards. In other words, this was The other party's Sniper.
The other party had also prepared Snipers, and had eliminated their Snipers. Now, they should be aiming at him. Him taking out a gun also had no meaning.
Paul Adams's guess was correct.
This bullet was fired by Chi Feichi.
And at the same time Chi Feichi discovered that That Driver wanted to start something, he also gave Stout and Korn a command—
Handle the two Snipers Paul had arranged, preventing The other party from interfering with the Transaction!
Currently, the two Snipers Paul Adams had arranged both suffered significant injury. Coupled with their completely disadvantageous Geography Location, stuck behind the Building Cover, they didn't dare to show their heads at all.
...
In front of the Funeral Home, the atmosphere was tense.
Paul Adams noticed the situation was a loss of control. His heart broke out in a sweat, but he still smiled and said, "I think, there's probably a bit of a Misunderstanding."
Underberg maintained vigilance, Staring at the Two People.
Misunderstanding my foot!
Yingqu Yan Nan answered the incoming phone call. "Raki."
On the other end of the phone call, the hoarse male voice was still calm and indifferent.
"Don't be distracted."
"We were careless."
"Talk to him and take control of the Dominant position on our Side. No problem, right?"
"No problem." Yingqu Yan Nan knew the Boss was hinting 'if you can't handle it, leave it to him', but he had actually almost messed up just now, which made him feel a bit frustrated.
"No need to hang up the phone call," Chi Feichi added.
He needed to know about the conversation.
"Understood."
Yingqu Yan Nan pressed speakerphone, placed the mobile phone on the Car Hood, lowered the hand holding the gun, and stepped forward. "Mr. Paul, do you think this is a Misunderstanding?"
Paul Adams's smile froze for a second, but he still nodded without batting an eye. "Of course, my Driver recently caught a cold and just wanted to get a tissue to wipe his snot. But your Companion seemingly misunderstood."
Yingqu Yan Nan suddenly noticed that People from these rich families probably all had a skill—'Lying without batting an eye', and they even looked self-righteous. Right, just like his own Boss. "Alright, Mr. Paul, I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore. We are just here for money. After the money arrives, the things can also be given to you."
"Right," Paul Adams smiled. "Don't hurt the kind atmosphere just because of a bit of a Misunderstanding."
"But, don't expect the People you arranged in the Funeral Home to have any effect," Yingqu Yan Nan stepped forward and stopped at a distance not too close or too far from Paul Adams. "Of course, the one at the Convenience Store is the same."
Paul Adams's Heart sank to the Valley Bottom. The other party had investigated the intelligence Beside him too clearly.
Someone Beside him had committed betrayal?
No, only he and two confidants knew about this matter. The three of them were Grasshoppers on the same boat; harming him would bring no benefit to the other Two People.
As for the Mafia... it was quite easy to leak rumors.
"As long as you don't start doing anything to us, it doesn't matter if they don't come over."
He continued dealing with the situation without batting an eye.
"Except for those two slightly dangerous Snipers, we didn't harm anyone else," Yingqu Yan Nan said. "Including Mr. Paul's strategist confidant. We are just here for benefit. This time, we indeed greatly offended Mr. Paul, but let's not hurt the kind atmosphere. Maybe there will be an opportunity for Cooperation in the future."
"Oh?" Paul Adams's Face showed an expression of interest.
In fact, although his Heart was mostly alert, he was still a bit interested.
That Group of People from The other party weren't Street Thugs; they were even more terrifying than those Mafia People.
Intelligence, Snipers. Just these two points made him think that Cooperation was also acceptable.
Cooperation wasn't making Friends.
Even if he was unhappy, as long as there was benefit, it wasn't impossible to consider.
"Cooperation that is beneficial to both sides," Yingqu Yan Nan said. "For example, if Mr. Paul discovers something that can yield benefit and needs a Helper, he can contact us. But recently, Mr. Paul is probably afraid he'll have to handle the follow-up mess."
"Indeed, that's true. You guys really hit hard with this one!" Paul Adams smiled helplessly, seeing the Driver blocking in front of him was already swaying. "Alright, it's no problem anymore. You go to the Car and handle the injury a bit."
Yingqu Yan Nan threw a bottle of things towards that Italian Driver. "There are also some things that can be cooperated on with Mr. Paul, for example, medicine for fast hemostasis. Of course, this isn't the main thing we research; it's just an accident product from our research."
Paul Adams was stunned. He looked towards the Driver Beside him who subconsciously caught the bottle.
The Italian Driver received his Boss's line of sight, understood, and opened the bottle cap.
"Just pour it on, that's enough." Yingqu Yan Nan said.
The Italian Driver didn't hesitate much, poured the medicinal liquid on. Seeing the blood hole on his arm no longer bleeding, he attempted a bit of activity. "Boss, there's no discomfort."
"A medication that directly acts on blood cells, only targeting injured wounds. It enhances the blood clotting function of platelets in a moment. Rest assured, it won't leave aftereffects," Yingqu Yan Nan lit a cigarette, extended his hand and said, "To prevent the research results from leaking, I need to retrieve the bottle."
Paul Adams received the bottle from his Driver's hand, stepped forward, personally returned the bottle to Yingqu Yan Nan, and smiled. "I think we can really Cooperate now! We can talk in detail about this medicine."
Yingqu Yan Nan put away the bottle. "Mr. Paul should be clearer than me about its value. This medication is more suitable for providing to the Military in exchange for favors. Then, selling the simplified version externally is also enough for you to make a large profit. If we proceed with the Cooperation Method, our relationship hasn't reached the extent to bear such a large profit. And if you intention is to directly buy out, I'm afraid you cannot afford the price we offer."
"You guys really can't talk, one more direct than the other!" Paul Adams said helplessly.
He said correctly, he really couldn't afford the price.
Why? Isn't it because this Group of Bastards extorted him for 200 million!
Not only could he not afford the price, he also needed to face financial difficulty for a period of time recently.
