Chapter 439: A Game Within a Game
Cao Mo held his cheeks and stared at Yang Xiaofeng in front of him.
Yang Xiaofeng's life can be regarded as ups and downs, he lost his mother when he was a child, and was smuggled to Europe with his father who absconded when he was a teenager.
His father was killed in a Chinese gang fight shortly after arriving in Europe, but Yang Xiaofeng not only spent his teenage years in the then chaotic Chinese community, but also led a fraud in a well-known local Chinese gang.
Yang Xiaofeng was arrested and imprisoned for fraud in the early 90s, but after he was released from prison, he did not change his mind, but instead recruited several former accomplices to break away from the gang and form a fraud gang to hunt fat sheep in Western European countries.
Liang Yuan was even excavated and cultivated by Yang Xiaofeng; at the end of the nineties, Yang Xiaofeng recuperated for two years due to illness, during which time Liang Yuan took his place and became the leader of the gang.
For a long time, Liang Yuan and Yang Xiaofeng's gang mainly used gambling and other means to defraud Chinese who were smuggled or living in Western Europe, and Zhou Han's adoptive mother was also a victim.
Zhou Han initially approached them in order to regain the defrauded money from Liang Yuan and Yang Xiaofeng for his adoptive mother, and then thought of joining them for revenge.
Although Zhou Han has long said that Yang Xiaofeng has merit, and Cao Mo also knows this, he doesn't think that Yang Xiaofeng's slippery role can really be easily used for himself, and he doesn't expect a character like Yang Xiaofeng to stick to it for the sake of interests.
Therefore, Cao Mo never thought of taking Yang Xiaofeng for his own use.
This time, Yang Xiaofeng took the initiative to come to the door, and before seeing Yang Xiaofeng, it was not difficult for Cao Mo to guess his intention.
Cao Mo is not a person with moral purity, and he can cooperate with Yang Xiaofeng to a limited extent, and avoid the legal minefield - no matter how strict the law is, it will not restrict him from buying some useful information from Yang Xiaofeng.
What Cao Mo hesitated about was how ambitious Yang Xiaofeng himself was, and how Yang Xiaofeng's move would be used to play a real role.
As for instigating the workers of the Boso Iron Mine to go to the Catelo Iron and Steel Plant to make trouble, Cao Mo has no shortage of manpower and does not bother to do it, so naturally he does not need Yang Xiaofeng.
After a while, Cao Mo said to Yang Xiaofeng, who was complicated: "I know what you think, it is impossible for you to dine in the manor at this point, please take care of yourself." The condition of the town is a little basic, but the hotels are still available......"
Seeing Cao Mo sit back on the computer screen, Xie Sipeng was a little surprised.
In the past two years, Tubman Security Consulting has recruited and cultivated a group of elites, but they are mainly trained as special mercenaries.
At the moment, as a private arm, they are qualified, and various tasks are perfectly handled.
However, when it comes to infiltrating directly into the Evans Foundation and the private circle of the Saviyi family, the elite of Tubman Security Consultants is not enough.
Yang Xiaofeng has been making a living from fraud for half his life, and his best skill is precisely to dispel other people's vigilance and approach others.
Xie Sipeng believes that Yang Xiaofeng can still play some role at this juncture.
And Yang Xiaofeng took the initiative to come over, also to seek wealth, Xie Sipeng felt that if Yang Xiaofeng really wanted to play a role, Cao Mo should not be stingy with the three or five million US dollars.
He didn't expect that Cao Mo didn't mean to have a deep chat with Yang Xiaofeng at all, and he didn't even arrange for Yang Xiaofeng to leave for a night in the manor, and now he was going to send off the guests directly.
Seeing that Cao Mo had already opened the interface of the game to log in to the character, Zhou Han didn't know that he saw anything wrong, so he could only spread his hands and say to Yang Xiaofeng: "I'll send you away." ”
Yang Xiaofeng stood up and stepped out of the door, and heard the sound of the game fighting coming out of the speaker, it seemed that the game character was launching dazzling skills, and couldn't help but glance back, and saw that Cao Mo was replying to someone with the keyboard, and he didn't raise his head, as if there was cement poured under his feet, and finally didn't take a second step, and asked in a jerky voice: "I think it still has an effect on the situation you are facing at this time, and I am all down like this, and the offer will definitely not make you feel like a lion opening his mouth- I wonder, what is it that makes you feel that I am not worthy of cooperation?"
"I said, everyone is an adult, there's no need to pretend, if you really want to pretend, you can't pretend to me," Cao Mo raised his head from behind the screen, his eyes became sharp, and he said unceremoniously, "You really want to be short of money, just ask Zhou Han to transfer three or five million to you, I don't even bother to ask." With my current net worth, it's not money to spend three or five million on a random dog. However, do you think I really bite your hook so easily? It's a waste of my time playing games, Zhou Han, don't waste your time, let him go by himself!"
"......" Xie Sipeng was also a little surprised when he saw Cao Mo say so much.
Zhou Han wasn't very sure at first, but seeing that Cao Mo had talked to this point, Yang Xiaofeng still looked confused, and he seemed unwilling to leave before he realized that he really had a different purpose for this trip.
Through the window, watching Yang Xiaofeng's bodyguards outside follow him to the parking lot, Zhou Han turned around and asked Cao Mo: "What do you think is wrong with Yang Xiaofeng?"
"Don't think that I'm playing games these days and will lose my mind and may delay my business," Cao Mo said, "First of all, Liang Yuan is not a stupid person, he must want our situation to be more embarrassing, and he will consciously spread rumors that are unfavorable to us, but he will not come forward unscrupulously and say these rumors everywhere - what is the benefit of his image in the West African Chinese business circle? And before today, at least we have not heard anyone say that Liang Yuan is openly spreading anything behind our backs- If there are really rumors that are unfavorable to us are fermenting, our interpersonal relationship in Draculamo should not be so bad. Yang Xiaofeng didn't say much just now, but his first sentence was a lie. ”
"Are you saying that there is a problem with Yang Xiaofeng's source of information, either his information comes from another source, or Liang Yuan deliberately passed the news to Yang Xiaofeng's ears through some people?" Xie Sipeng asked hesitantly.
"Whatever the possibility, but for sure, his source of information is definitely problematic, and it is by no means what he said," Cao Mo said, "and when he said that he was good at dispelling others' and 'approaching someone', the confidence in his expression was different from the previous pretense, which was very convincing, and I wondered if he had already set his sights on the Evans Foundation, and had already arranged to infiltrate the Evans Foundation to set up something, and then happened to hear that the Evans Foundation wanted to be unfavorable to us, so he rushed to the door... ...”
"If that's the case, he actually wants to use us to realize his layout, instead of coveting our three or five million commissions?" Xie Sipeng said hesitantly, "It's not surprising to think so, otherwise it's hard to imagine that he will continue to stay in Draculamo......"
Liang Yuan swept up the savings of the entire gang for many years, which is extremely infuriating, if Yang Xiaofeng was impulsive at that time, and broke Liang Yuan with a gun on the street, Xie Sipeng would not be surprised at all, but after so much time, he knew that he had no way to take Liang Yuan, and he couldn't swallow this breath, and he didn't do anything "serious", so he stayed in Dracula to find trouble with Liang Yuan, which shouldn't be the normal thinking of adults.
It is more likely that Yang Xiaofeng has set his sights on a new target in Draculamo, and then continues to trouble Liang Yuan by the way, and Zhou Han has also confirmed that Yang Xiaofeng has recruited new accomplices, which is obviously also preparing for a new target.
Rats have rat paths, snakes have snake paths, and it is normal for Yang Xiaofeng to stay in Draculamo to make a living and target a new target.
However, if Yang Xiaofeng took the initiative to come to the door this time with ulterior motives, then his new target may really be the Evans Foundation or a branch or an important person.
Thinking of this, Xie Sipeng couldn't help but look out of the door, but at this time, Yang Xiaofeng had disappeared into the night and couldn't see his figure.
"There is a problem with Yang Xiaofeng's source of information, if the news that Yang Xiaofeng knows was deliberately leaked to him by Liang Yuan, is it possible that Yang Xiaofeng's recent new actions have not been able to hide from Liang Yuan's eyes?" Zhou Han asked with a frown.
"It's possible, but Yang Xiaofeng has bad intentions and refuses to tell the truth, I don't bother to fight with him - you guys should rest early, don't bother to guess what, it's too tiring......," Cao Mo said.
Xie Sipeng was very honest and went to the guest room of the main building to rest first, but Yang Xiaofeng was persuaded by Zhou Han to meet Cao Mo, not to mention that it involved some of Liang Yuan's unsightly schemes, and it was inconvenient for her to really play games in Cao Mo's room......
Zhou Han walked behind Cao Mo and saw him use the mouse to drive the characters in the game, walking in a barren cliff and mountain, and more than a dozen elite soldiers who looked like barbarians chased after him, and he didn't see the character "Cheng Xiaoyuer" operated by Cheng Xi, and asked, "What about Cheng Xi, is she offline?"
"Well, she still has a meeting to attend in the morning, she can't hide in the office and secretly play games, you can take her account online later, and help me make a copy. Cao Mo said.
"Dreaming - helping her play games and practice characters, and then helping her sleep with you, are you thinking too well?" Zhou Han said, "If I want to play this game, I will raise a number, take all the weapons and treasures to the top, and then kill this 'Cheng Xiaoyu' and kill ......"
"You women are so scary! Isn't it beautiful to buy a Hermes with this money, is it necessary to be jealous in the game?" Cao Mo hugged Zhou Han and sat in his arms, holding her with both hands, Zhou Han was wearing a silk long skirt, and Cao Mo was wearing a pair of beach pants at random, the clothes were very light, and you could feel her plump and full buttocks squeezing herself.
"Don't fight for the wind, tell you the right thing, don't crawl blindly with your hands, take a knife to chop off the simmering soup," Zhou Han grabbed Cao Mo's hand and said, "If you want to say that Yang Xiaofeng's new target is the Evans Foundation, he has even sent someone to lurk in, and Liang Yuan just knows about this, and deliberately lures Yang Xiaofeng to use us-I think I can make it clear to Yang Xiaofeng, I think he should be a smart person......"
"Yang Xiaofeng's value is limited, and his mind is slippery, like a loach, why do you think I need to waste much time on him?" Cao Mo asked curiously.
"Women are stupid sometimes, do you know, just like Cheng Xi pretending not to know that you are spending all day drinking here," Zhou Han stretched over in Cao Mo's arms, put his greasy cheek against the stubble on his chin, and said, "I told you how I met Yang Xiaofeng and them - my mother still thinks that Yang Xiaofeng didn't really want to lie to her at the beginning, but just borrowed it temporarily, even if I don't chase it, Yang Xiaofeng will pay her back the money - do you say women are stupid? Every time I talk about this issue, I am about to be angry with my mother." ”
"Nima, how do you want me to answer this question?" Cao Mo asked distressedly, "Your adoptive mother is fifty this year, is she still so naïve?"
"Women are stupid, the older they get, the more stupid they become—I'm thinking, if things are really as you think, if we don't remind Yang Xiaofeng, he may be killed by Liang Yuan without a place to be buried," Zhou Han said, "We will remind him, and then we will no longer care about him, nor will we interfere with him, Liang Yuan's small calculations are completely useless to us." ”
"To tell you the truth, I don't mind harming Liang Yuan, but it won't do me any good, you know, I will never do anything that harms others and myself!" Cao Mo said, "It's like the Catro Iron Works, I'd rather look disgusting, but I won't do anything;
"How do you want to be 'self-interested'?" Zhou Han put his hands around Cao Mo's neck, narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly, half-bit his red lips, put on a seductive posture, and asked, "Is this benefit enough?"
"In that case, it's really worth the effort. Cao Mo asked Zhou Han to hang on him like a koala, stood up and locked the door, and walked to the bedroom next door.
Zhou Han, who was negligent and almost leaked and had the intention to please himself, cleaned up well, although he was sweating, Cao Mo was still satisfied and leaned on the bedside to smoke, and said to Zhou Han:
"The matter of the Catro Iron and Steel Plant, Liang Yuan's grandson knew that Yang Xiaofeng was doing things behind his back, and deliberately planted it on my head, I had long wanted to find an opportunity to whip him twice, but now things are a little complicated, I don't want to do more than anything extraneous, and no matter how much he jumps, he can't become a climate ......"
"You are not allowed to regret it," Zhou Han bit his red lip and glared, "If you regret it, I will not do this to you again in the future." ”
"You kindly remind Yang Xiaofeng now, will he believe you? I think he is more likely to think that we are playing some kind of conspiracy, and he will never tell the truth easily-I have talked to that extent just now, he is not pretending to be innocent?, ah, I just asked him to leave, I don't want to waste any more thought on him," Cao Mo scratched his head, sighed and said, "In this way, you call Yan Zhicheng directly and ask me if he saved the surveillance video when I went to the casino hall of Lana Dere Beach two months ago to play- I think they should have a save, Made, they all have their own thoughts, little abacus, what's the use of saving my video? You ask him to send the surveillance video to you, you can directly show this surveillance video to Yang Xiaofeng......
"Two months ago, you went to the casino to play, what happened, or did you meet someone?" Zhou Han picked up the satellite phone from the bedside table and couldn't help but ask curiously while dialing and waiting.
"There's someone who wants to get close to me, and you'll know if you call in the video and watch it. Cao Mo said.
Zhou Han dialed Yan Zhicheng's phone to adjust the surveillance video of the casino two months ago, and Yan Zhicheng began to be a little hesitant on the phone and said that he wanted to find Yan Ming and ask if he had kept the surveillance video for so long.
Cao Mo took the phone directly and said: "Two months ago, there was a young woman with a blue dress, short brown hair, and a slightly pointed chin diagonally opposite me, who looked like she had Germanic blood, and she walked away after playing two rounds of cards - if you have seen this video, you should also have an impression of this woman, you can just send this video data directly." ”
"When Mr. Cao said this, I had an impression, and I asked Yan Ming to directly transmit the video data to Miss Zhou in a while. Yan Zhicheng said simply on the phone.
Zhou Han wrapped himself in a large bath towel, took the laptop, logged in to MSN, and soon saw that it was Yan Ming who was trying to transmit a surveillance video directly through MSN - Yan Zhicheng of course wouldn't say that he saved the video about Cao Mo, and Yan Ming began to upload a very large video material.
Seeing the transmission rate in KB, Zhou Han was a little devastated, and called again and asked Yan Ming to directly cut out the video of the children in the blue skirt separately.
After tossing for half an hour, the video came, and Zhou Han clicked on the ground floor hall of the Lana Dere Beach Casino to see people coming and going, and soon saw the children in blue dresses appearing in the picture.
Because of the angle and clarity of the surveillance video, Zhou Han couldn't see the micro-expression on the young woman's face clearly, and it was difficult to judge what was abnormal.
This woman can't be considered a beautiful type, and even a little indifferent, in front of the gambling table where Cao Mo was sitting, she played two rounds and walked away, and she couldn't see anything abnormal.
Zhou Han asked curiously:
"Do you suspect that she is playing two rounds of cards and is actually observing you? How can you be sure that she is not Liang Yuan's person, but Yang Xiaofeng's new recruit?"
It stands to reason that this woman's mind was not on the card table, but she was secretly observing Cao Mo, and if she really wanted to guess who might instruct her, there would be more objects to be suspected......
"You read it twice – always I'll tell you the answer directly, and you'll get stupid. Cao Mo said.
"......" Zhou Hanmei glanced at Cao Mo, grabbed his hand away from his chest, and continued to watch the video intently.
At the predominantly Chinese gaming table, except for the dealer who will make a brief inquiry in English when dealing the cards, everyone else naturally speaks Chinese.
Zhou Han stared at the screen of the laptop computer for a while, and found that although the young woman couldn't tell that she was talking from beginning to end, she didn't show a jerky and hesitant look at the conversation of the person next to her-
In two short rounds, the young woman can easily judge that her hand skills are not bad, although she wins and loses.
This directly narrowed the scope of suspicion, but she still felt that Liang Yuan was more suspicious.
"......" Zhou Han was just about to ask Cao Mo, when he saw that there was new news coming from MSN software, he clicked on it and saw that it was Yan Ming who sent another message, and turned his head to Cao Mo and said, "Yan Zhicheng and Yan Ming's uncle and nephew are really secretly studying you, they probably struggled for a long time in their hearts before they decided to admit this- They also noticed this woman, and investigated her background, but the information was relatively limited, and so far it has only been found that she is a standard Draculamo, with Anglo-French and Yoruba ancestry, and applied for a job at the Evans Foundation a year and a half ago, and was given the position of internal secretary...... Do you have dog eyes that tell there's something wrong with her?"
"Don't care how I see it, you send the video directly to Yang Xiaofeng, and leave a message telling him that this little trick doesn't want to be able to fool Liang Yuan - if he still wants to die, you can let him go!" Cao Mo said.
