What Link and Douglas were going to talk about couldn't be known to a third person.

They went to Link's study, and after Douglas locked the door, he sat down at his desk and didn't say anything.

Link was silent for a moment, then finally spoke, "You can guarantee her safety, right?"

"I've asked the other side many times to ensure that they won't have any problems. ”

Link fell silent again. The implication of Douglas is that he has done what he can, and he has no complete control over what the outcome will be.

After a long time he said, "I can do this, but I don't want innocent people to be physically harmed because of this." ”

"I'll try my best!" Douglas felt that Link was a bit of a woman, but such a boss also made him more reassured.

Link made him do a few things that weren't very visible, such as the mother and daughter pair he had with Bobby Kentheheney. Although Link did something to hurt the other party that time, he still cared about the other party's safety and reputation, and waited for the other party to leave the United States before exposing the matter.

It was Jerome's affair that taught him that Link was also a man who made decisions when he was right. That time, Link directly hinted at making people disappear.

And this time Link still used shady means, the kidnapped person was indeed an innocent girl, and Link repeatedly demanded that no one should be physically harmed. In the event of kidnapping, the abducted person will definitely have psychological trauma, but as long as the body is not harmed, the psychological trauma will be less and it will be easier to recover.

Link's kindness as a woman can make him, a person who specializes in dealing with these shady things for Link, feel more at ease. At least he didn't have to worry about being easily killed.

I heard Link ask again, "How are you preparing for the follow-up?"

"I've emailed the target. He should have seen the mail. Douglas asked. "In addition, I have also made arrangements for the rest of the staff. It's just that if he calls the police, what are we going to do?"

Link hesitated for a while before shaking his head with a wry smile and said, "What can it be, of course it's to release people." ”

Douglas couldn't help but smile. He said, "I see!"

Link is not a gangster figure after all. And the other party will not know that he did it, if they can't reach the goal, they will release the person, and there will be no loss to them.

"When do you think the other person will respond?"

Douglas said, "I'll see if there's a reply when I go back to Las Vegas." "He needs to be assured that there is no possibility that he will be traced.

"Be careful. If there is a danger of exposure, it is better to give up the purpose than to take the risk. ”

"I will. ”

"The rest of the staff are ready?"

"It's all set. I'm very careful that they won't know I'm in contact with them. ”

"We want to keep everyone involved in the operation safe," Link said. We will only be safe if they are safe. He paused and then said. "And what the hell is Jerome's case? I think the police have already decided on a robbery and murder case. Why did you suddenly find me. ”

In fact, Jerome's case cannot be said to be completely closed, because the murderer has not yet been found. It is also difficult to find the murderer in such a case, so the police can only temporarily freeze the case so as not to waste manpower and financial resources. It is only after the technology to solve the case in the future improves, or new clues are found, that it is possible for the police to restart the investigation.

"What I found out was that Jerome's girlfriend called the police station and said that you might have instructed someone to kill him. ”

Link pursed his lips, strictly speaking, the other party's accusations were correct. Of course, he couldn't have confessed his guilt.

I heard Douglas say again: "From the information I have gathered, that woman was instructed. A certain FBI member is suspicious. He has an older brother who works as a marketing manager in Mengsandu. ”

Link nodded. He also suspected that Meng Sandu had done it, but now that he got this information from Douglas, he was not surprised.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "How is the investigation of the West Coast Chinese TV station?"

"It was the Huang family in Los Angeles who intervened. It is said that they are willing to invest in 35 percent of the shares, making them the largest shareholder of the station, while the Li family's California Chinese Development Bank continues to own 25 percent. The price offered by the Huang family is a little less than your bid, but CDB seems to be more willing to hold a stake in the TV station. ”

The TV station's acquisition plan fell through, and Link was a little annoyed. But the acquisition is a mutual will. If one party is unwilling, he can't say that the other party is not keeping his word. In the absence of any contractual agreement, the other party has the right to cooperate with anyone.

So he was just annoyed, but not angry.

"Then leave it alone for now. ”

"In the future, I will increase the monitoring of the Huang family. Douglas knew he was derelict this time. Link asked him to pay attention to the Huang family's actions. But this time, the Huang family and the Li family came into contact and cut off the TV station that Link watched, but he didn't notice it. That's also because he doesn't pay enough attention to the Huang family.

Link didn't blame him either. Douglas is only a human being in his ability, and he can't know everything. "The investigation into them really can't be stopped," he said. If you find something that might be against me, report it to me immediately. He felt that the Huang family seemed to be deliberately disagreeing with him on some things. And the business matters, Douglas can't handle it. The sooner he knew, he could have dealt with it commercially.

He was silent for a while, then turned back to the topic that had always made him feel a little uncomfortable at the beginning: "What do you think are the chances of succeeding this time?"

"Our target is a single father who hasn't remarried since his wife died of cancer 11 years ago. And he loved his daughter very much. I think he'll agree to our proposal. ”

He pondered for a moment and said, "If the other party still disagrees within seven days, let the person go." If you agree, try to keep them from getting in trouble. "He just wants to find some black information about certain people, innocent people he doesn't want to hurt.

Douglas nodded and said, "I'll take notice." "He's not upset about the possibility of hurting others. It's because the target isn't in trouble, he's safer.

If the target is discovered, it is inevitable that some information will be provided to the police under police interrogation. He didn't dare to underestimate his former peers. The F.B.I. will follow that information and say what it can't trace.

So he also wants the target to never be discovered after he has done it for him.

"You can report this to me at any time. If nothing else, you can go. ”

"One more thing. Douglas pulled out a document and said. "This is the conclusion we came to after a covert observation of the Iron Tiger. ”

He didn't mention it, Link had forgotten about this person a little. He took the file and asked, "How is he doing?"

"Very dedicated, and grateful to the boss for the way you really behaved. And we also found that he longed for that kind of life in the army. In the alpaca farm in Peru, he managed the security guards in the same way as the army. ”

Link skimmed through the file and said, "Don't let him know I'm spying on him." ”

"Our guy is in his security team, and the contact with him is very natural. It is unlikely to attract attention. ”

Link nodded and said, "That's good!, by the way, how is his son doing now?"

The alpaca project financed the transport of his son to a major hospital in Peru, where his condition is largely stable. But in order to perform that kind of surgery, you have to go to a Western country, or China. Personally, I would suggest that if you want to rescue his son, it would be better to send it to China. ”

Link glanced at him. Douglas was very cautious indeed.

He nodded and said, "You let people come into contact with him, and if he wants, send his son to China first." ”

Douglas asked, "Is he willing to serve you?"

Link hesitated for a moment and said, "That kind of exchange, if I were replaced, I would be very uncomfortable in my heart." If he knew how to be grateful, he would be willing to serve me without that means. If he doesn't want to in the future, he will save a child. "That kind of surgery fee is a ruin for an ordinary family, but for him, it is just a drop in the penny.

What he needed was an armed leader who was willing to die for himself, not someone who felt he was being blackmailed and had to agree to do so. Although it is said that the people who will participate in such an armed force are for money. He can allow ordinary members to be in it for money, but their leader must be loyal to him. Otherwise, he could be in trouble at any time.

After all that, Douglas had nothing else to do.

After Douglas left, Link was left alone in his study for a while. What he and Glass are going to do is not an earth-shattering plan.

He just wanted to force someone to help him get what he wanted. After getting what is available, spread it to the outside world, so that the other party will get into trouble, so that the other party will no longer have the energy to find trouble for themselves.

That's what he's for.

That's just a way to be a human being.

It's just that he hopes that his methods can make the opponent receive actual damage. Therefore, he wants to get real evidence, so that the other party cannot refute the evidence, so that the other party's strong public relations ability is helpless.

It is impossible to obtain such a thing if it is collected according to the convention. He can only use some unconventional means.

Most people who encounter an unusual event are restless or anxious. But some people will quickly become quite calm after being anxious and analyze what to do to have the results they want.

For example, Emporia Parker. As a successful IT man, calm and analytical skills are essential mental qualities.

Last night he received an email saying that his daughter was in the hands of the other party and asked him not to call the police and wait for the next instructions. After he saw the email, he was angry and anxious at first, and he contacted his daughter several times, but was prompted to turn off the phone. When I contacted my daughter's friends, they all said that I was not with my daughter. The daughter knew that he hadn't come home at 1 a.m., and he was almost sure that the other party wasn't trying to scare him.

Soon he calmed down. He knew that since the other party had kidnapped his daughter, he was just asking for money or threatening him to do something. Whatever it is, as long as the kidnapper hasn't achieved his goal, his daughter's safety should be guaranteed. Although he was still anxious, he did not dare to act rashly. He knew that would only hurt his daughter more.

So, the next day, he first helped his daughter ask for leave from school, and then went to work like no one. At the same time, he can even smile and say hello as usual.

But when he entered his office, he stared at the computer, hoping to receive the kidnapper's next email as soon as possible.
