Chapter 90: Prelude to the Crisis
Tang Yun didn't mind if others saw her as a lady or a shrew at all, because she could be any of them as needed. She is more concerned about her own safety: "What if they come back to retaliate?"
"Now that you've heard what I've just said, you should know that this possibility doesn't exist for the time being. As for whether it will appear in the future, we will talk about it then. β
"But the background of these people ......"
Pang Jindong interrupted Tang Yun's words: "Regarding their background, I won't introduce them to you one by one, because it has nothing to do with you." β
"You're very confident, I'm sure they won't come back to you right away!" Tang Yun pursed her lips, clearly showing dissatisfaction.
"It's not just because of self-confidence....... Pang Jindong put down the pen in his hand, looked at Tang Yun and said slowly: "The key is that I don't want to kill so many people just because of one possibility!"
"Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows. Tang Yun walked to the door slowly, turned around and said to Pang Jindong: "You are too soft-hearted, this is not good! A man who does great things must be ruthless when it is critical!"
Pang Jindong said categorically: "I'm sorry, I can't do it!"
Tang Yun originally had something to discuss with Pang Jindong, but then changed his mind and went straight to Yang Jiawei after leaving the office.
Although Tang Yun did not participate in a series of things these days, he was not idle, but secretly learned as much as possible through various channels.
You can't blame the people at the base for not being strict-mouthed, in the face of Tang Yun such a coquettish and seductive stunner, and she is extremely good at clichΓ©s, few people can resist the temptation and not say what they know, intentionally or unintentionally, even including people with problems with sexual orientation. Even if there are reservations, it is enough for Tang Yun to have a certain understanding of Pang Jindong's past.
The entire base is completely immune to Tang Yun, only Milia and Isabel.
There are very few people who can make Tang Yun admire, and after knowing Pang Jindong's past, she has such a feeling for Pang Jindong, and at the same time has some appreciation. But she also has some disdain for Pang Jindong, which is what she said in her last sentence.
Yang Jiawei was packing up his things and preparing to take his subordinates to set off, when he saw Tang Yun, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "What are you looking for me?"
Although after a few days of contact, they have become more familiar with each other, but Yang Jiawei has always been vigilant against this woman who is extremely seductive. After all, not everyone can be taken advantage of, and not all men are willing to be the ministers of beautiful women.
Tang Yun sat opposite Yang Jiawei, folded his legs together very elegantly, and smiled: "Of course there is something!"
"Please speak! As long as you can help, you will do your best!" Yang Jiawei just politely said, did not guarantee that he would do it, but just said "do your best". As for how to "do your best", there is a lot of water in it.
Of course, this little trick can't be hidden from Tang Yun, for people like Yang Jiawei, the way she uses is to get straight to the point: "I have a business to talk to you!"
"What business?" Yang Jiawei was still smiling, and his heart turned on the drum: "It can't be a skin and meat business......
Tang Yun saw Yang Jiawei's suspicion of himself, snorted lightly, and handed over a check: "Don't you want to make some extra money?"
Yang Jiawei looked at the numbers on the check, his brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal: "What do you want me to do?"
Tang Yun giggled: "Although there is a little danger, with your ability, you can solve it very easily!"
Let's talk about Pang Jindong's side.
"All dead?" Pang Jindong looked at Iverson in surprise, almost unable to believe his ears.
Iverson nodded, "Yes, the mercenaries and the people in the Corbino Center are all dead!"
Iverson had just gone to take charge of freeing the captives when he came back to report that the captives had not gone far before they had been attacked suddenly, and that they had all been killed unarmed. Iverson wisely did not interfere, but found out that it was Yang Jiawei and his men who did it.
Yang Jiawei and the others had already left the base yesterday to do their unsavory things, but Pang Jindong didn't expect them to do such a thing.
Pang Jindong clenched his fist in his right hand and slammed it hard on the table: "Damn Yang Jiawei, what the hell is he going to do!"
Iverson looked at Pang Jindong's angry appearance and said cautiously: "I think this is a good thing, after those people left, they were always a threat to us." β
"Iverson, although they were once our enemies, after laying down their arms and losing their reason to continue fighting, they are just ordinary people. Pang Jindong shook his head slowly, and said in a heavy tone: "We have all killed many people, and we have seen the blood of too many innocent people, so these things should not be allowed to happen again." β
Iverson didn't know that there was an idiom in Chinese called "women's benevolence," but now he had similar feelings about Pang Jindong. But he was unwilling to confront Pang Jindong, so he could only defend Yang Jiawei: "After the battle, Yang Jiawei's men cleaned up the scene without leaving a trace. I believe that what they did should be done without malice towards us, and maybe even to help us!"
"Fighting, it should be a massacre!" Pang Jindong shook his head disdainfully, and suddenly realized a question: "Did they really clean up the scene?"
Iverson nodded, "Yes, I don't know why they did it, but I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Hearing you say that, they probably did mean to help us ......"
Pang Jindong understands that although people like Yang Jiawei are unprofitable, but given their relationship with Pang Wenlan, it is reasonable for them to do things for themselves.
With a full stomach, Pang Jindong went to find Tang Yun, because there were still some details of the plan that needed to be finalized.
As soon as Tang Yun saw Pang Jindong, he asked bluntly: "Is there something to ask me?"
Pang Jindong didn't have anything to ask, but when he heard Tang Yun say this, his heart moved, and he replied: "You are very smart!"
"Then ask!" Tang Yun's face was full of indifference, and he picked up a cigarette with his slender jade fingers and took a shallow puff.
"It's better for you to take the initiative to say it yourself, if I am asked to say it, I will be furious!"
"Just say it!" Tang Yun raised his eyebrows, looked at Pang Jindong provocatively, and admitted calmly: "It is indeed me who bought Yang Jiawei and asked him to get rid of those prisoners." But I want you to know ......"
"What did you say?" Although he expected to do something he didn't know, he didn't expect to hear such a sentence, Pang Jindong's eyes widened, and he interrupted Tang Yun's words: "You instructed Yang Jiawei to do it!"
ββ¦β¦ I'm doing this for your own good!" Tang Yun realized that he was not recruiting himself, and after saying what he had just said stupidly, he immediately asked, "You don't know about this?"
The corners of Pang Jindong's mouth twitched twice: "I didn't know it was instructed by you!"
"Didn't you say you had something to ask me, what the hell is going on?"
"I never said I had something to ask you, you thought so, I just cooperated with you!"
Tang Yun slapped his head twice hard, sat there dejectedly, and didn't say a word.
There is a saying called "capsizing in the gutter", Tang Yun has always regarded this kind of fate as stupid, but now she understands that the reason why the boat can capsize in the gutter is because she wanted to swim in the gutter, and she Tang Yun swam into the "gutter" of Pang Jindong.
Tang Yun thought of this, and patted his head again, one was aroused by this ambiguous thought, and the other was strange that he had recently appeared some words and deeds that he should not have.
If Tang Yun knew the original saying of this proverb, he would be inspired to have more ambiguous thoughts. This proverb was originally "overturned in the vagina", which was a metaphor for some people who can't resist the temptation of women and make mistakes, that is, capsizing. As an organ, although "vagina" often appears in national scolding, Chinese people think that it is indecent to appear in common sayings, so they later changed it to "gutter".
In fact, what really applies to Tang Yun is that it is not about herself, and if she cares about herself, it is precisely because of some of her subconscious concerns about Pang Jindong, worried that Pang Jindong will be angry with herself after knowing about this matter, and she, an expert in playing with power and scheming, will be told the truth by Pang Jindong's childish tricks.
The two of them were stunned for a long time when they faced each other, and then Tang Yun remembered to correct and said, "I didn't mean to make them, but I used a lot of money to buy them." β
"Then I should thank you for caring so much about my safety!"
Tang Yun hurriedly waved his hand: "You don't have to return the money to me!"
"I'm not going to give you money!"
Tang Yun's cherry lips opened and closed twice, and he said self-deprecatingly: "I am also doing this for myself, if those people come back to seek revenge, I will be unlucky with you!"
"I thought about it in hindsight and felt that it was the right thing to do, but I didn't expect it to be related to you. β
Tang Yun took a few breaths and resumed his normalcy: "You came just in time, I have something to look for you!"
"What's the matter?"
"Get ready to do it, the crisis is about to begin!"
During this time, the crisis has begun to surface, and a large number of lenders have interrupted the repayment of housing loans, also known as "supply cuts" in China, which will lead to a large number of bad debts in banks. At present, the financial circles, the government, and even the whole society of country M are showing signs that the mountains and rains are about to come.
Tang Yun received reliable news that in about 24 hours, the National Financial Services Corporation of the United States, the largest subprime lender in country M, will announce a reduction in lending, and the second largest subprime lender, New Century Financial, will issue a profit warning for the fourth quarter.
The waves that sweep through a qiΔ can often be caused by one or two small pebbles thrown into the calm lake water, and these two pieces of news are two pebbles. Financial markets, which are already restless, will be severely hit by this.
If you want to buy financial institutions in country M, you should wait until the disruption caused by the crisis is at its peak and many financial institutions are declared bankrupt. What Tang Yun said at this time refers to the fact that before that, he shorted stock index futures and made a big profit in the securities market that was the first to be affected.
Pang Jindong said calmly: "Then, let's start!"
"It will definitely succeed!" Tang Yun's expression was far more excited than Pang Jindong.
For Tang Yun, this crisis is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she is ostensibly working as Chen Yubo's assistant, but in fact she is more busy for herself. Although she wants to complete Chen Yubo's plan, she thinks more about how to use Chen Yubo's resources to seek benefits for herself as much as possible.
If successful, Tang Yun can become a strong man while being a woman, completely get rid of Chen Yubo, and even no longer need a man. And Pang Jindong's power and resources are the best candidates to help her achieve her goals.
The day of the army.
This day has finally arrived, and from this day on, this mercenary will have its own independent formation, military flag and honor, and appear in this world as a real army, which has never been seen in the history of mercenaries.
Pang Jindong randomly chose a day as the day of the army, without considering any auspicious days of the zodiac, and the ceremony designed was also very simple, because Pang Jindong firmly believed that connotation is more important than form.
Pang Jindong has always attached great importance to cultivating the soldiers' sense of honor, so everyone is looking forward to this day, even if it is just a simple ceremony.
On this day, all the troops marched in a line-up wearing newly issued ceremonial uniforms and carrying weapons, with soldiers at the back and officers at the front. Around them were another four hundred recruits who had just arrived to report for duty.
In the face of these recruits who looked at them curiously, all the veterans showed their proud courage, and their waists were straight. The recruits may be in the middle of the process, and the veterans are sympathetic because they know what kind of life they will face next.
Pang Jindong faced all of them and said slowly: "Before today's arrival, you have understood the meaning of today, then I will stop talking nonsense." I just hope that from now on, you, who have become real soldiers, can defend your military flag and honor with your blood and life, and write a glorious poem of this army for your successors. β
Pang Jindong's voice landed, and Liu Fuyi next to him shouted: "Give the flag!"
A soldier walked slowly to Iverson, who was already the battalion commander, with a firm and steady step, and handed over the flag in his hand.
