Chapter 384: When I'm a Sick Cat?
After the plane landed, Link and the others rented a car near the airport. After the car drove out of Amarillo for more than twenty miles, Tiger suddenly said, "Boss, there is a pickup truck in the back that has been following us from the airport gate!"
Link didn't look back and asked, "Only one car?"
"Until now, I've only seen one car. ”
Link had been murdered once in Reynaud and was sensitive to being followed. But on the road, even if others keep following him, he doesn't seem to be able to do anything until the other person makes a move.
If it were in the past, he might have been cautious and acted on the opportunity. But now he is not in a very good mood. He said to Tiger, "Drive faster." ”
The current speed is just over 60 mph, and the speed limit in Texas is the highest. The maximum speed limit is eighty-five mph. Tiger received his command and immediately increased the throttle to speed up the car. At the same time, he said to his companion in the passenger seat, "Cole, wake up." ”
Cole already had the gun in his hand.
Texas is the state with the loosest gun control in the country. Even if the police see a gun in the car, they will not think to stop the car for inspection.
Coming today, Link only brought two bodyguards, and there were three people sitting in the car, including him, three of whom had guns. He also took out the gun just in case.
He smiled and said to Neil, "You know, I had a murder in Renault the year before last, and it was also a car that kept following me. A truck with stainless steel pipes in front of it is in the way. We almost got stuck to death by the steel pipe that was pushed down. ”
Neil had investigated Link before, so of course he knew about it. So he didn't make a fuss either. He only nodded and said, "You should indeed be careful." And a gun? I'll use it. ”
When Cole heard this, he took out a smaller pistol from his body and said, "Mr. Geddes, although you don't have it, you can use it." ”
That pistol is Cole they use with a precautionary case, usually a lady with a gun. Neil did look a little small in his hand. But he didn't care: "You can use it." ”
"It also accelerated. It can be determined that it is tracking us. Tiger said suddenly.
Link looked ahead, and there were no other suspicious vehicles to target their car. He said, "Tiger, quickly reduce the speed to fifty miles. ”
Tiger didn't understand what he wanted to do. Still, he said, "Sit down." Then he slammed on the brakes.
Their car suddenly stopped, and the speed of the car dropped suddenly.
Link stopped the inertia of the forward lunge, then turned.
Neil saw him turn around and revert to the car behind him with his finger outstretched.
"What are you making this gesture to them?"
Link laughed and said, "I just warned them not to follow anymore." He said to Tiger again. "Tiger, speed up!"
Tiger still increased his speed to more than 80 miles again.
In the rear of the pickup cab there were two men. The car they were following suddenly slowed down, and they couldn't react, and they came closer to a distance of less than forty yards, and they could clearly see someone in the car in front of them pointing at them.
Now seeing that the other party was speeding up again, the man in the passenger seat said to the driver, "They found us." ”
The speed was quite fast, and the driver was staring at the road ahead: "Do you think we can fool them on the country road?"
The man in the co-pilot thought for a moment and said, "I really can't hide it." "There were two bodyguards in the car they were following, and they were following too obviously, and it was normal to be found. However, they didn't want to hide it from each other.
To keep up with the car in front, they also increased their speed to more than eighty miles. All they had to do was follow the car in front of them to their destination.
After a few more minutes, the car in front of me kept moving along the road. Just in a small corner, the man in the passenger seat suddenly said: "They are going to enter the phase ......" Before he finished speaking, he only heard a loud "bang", and the car was also shaken, and there was a "pop ......" slapping sound outside the car.
He saw that the car was still driving forward, and hurriedly shouted, "Brake quickly!"
Of course, the driver stepped on the brakes, but he suddenly found that the brakes failed, and the worst thing was that he stepped on the brakes and did not respond, thinking that he had stepped on the accelerator by mistake, and subconsciously stepped on the accelerator.
He just felt that his pickup was about to become F1. There was a curve ahead, and there was another big trailer coming head-on. He subconsciously hit the steering wheel in the hope of avoiding it.
The truck driver saw the oncoming pickup truck in front of him and seemed to have a problem. He honked the horn and braked.
But the pickup truck seemed to have to get past his truck. I saw that the pickup truck walked a snake, but because the speed was too fast, it overturned, and the roof of the car rubbed on the ground to create fire, and finally hit the front of his truck, directly stuck under the front of the car.
When Tiger turned onto a country road, he had to slow down. He was still keeping an eye on the pickup from the rearview mirror. He saw the car accident behind him, didn't look back, and said, "That pickup truck stopped." They seem to be in trouble. ”
Neil looked back, and although it was quite far away, he could still see the scene of the crash. He looked back and realized that he had to look back. The two bodyguards in front of him had this determination, and he was not surprised, but why didn't Link care at all?
"You don't know they're going to follow!" Neil remembered that Link had said that GE stock would plummet, and it did plummet. And he finally learned that the root cause of GE's stock crash was not manipulative, but accidental.
First there was a broker input error, and then the problem with GE products suddenly exploded. That's definitely not a normal thing. This time, Link was too calm, which made him inevitably have a ridiculous feeling that "the car accident was Link's foreknowledge".
Would Link have told him that the pickup truck was going to crash because he cursed it? Of course not. He just said, "With Tiger and Cole in the car, it makes no difference whether they can catch up or not!"
Well, that's also a plausible explanation.
Neil also felt that his idea was too ridiculous. If Link had the ability to predict, he wouldn't have to wait for a problem to come out before he could find a way to solve the problem of selling the amaranth virus.
Seeing that he didn't ask any more questions, Link just smiled and didn't say anything more.
What he was thinking now was, who sent that pickup truck on earth?
After passing through a few small pastures, Neil said, "The gate on the left in front." His car was in front. Link had a big sign on the side of the road in front of him. Above: "Holland Ranch".
AND A BLACK CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICKUP TRUCK WAS ALREADY PARKED NEXT TO THE STREET SIGN. As Link and their car approached, a middle-aged man in a denim jacket came out of the pickup.
Neil said to Link, "He's Kempner." ”
Link waited for the car to be parked and opened the door. Kempner Holland had already walked over with a smile. Link stepped forward, shook the other's outstretched hand, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Holland! I'm Link Hans." ”
Kempner smiled and said, "Of course I know you! Also, you can call me Kempner." Welcome to Holland Ranch, Link. ”
Link smiled and replied, "I'm honored to have the opportunity to be a guest at Holland Farm!"
"It is also a great pleasure to have you as a guest. Kempner saw Neil get out of the car, and he took a few steps forward and gave Neil a hug.
"I'm glad to see you cheer up so quickly! I know about Gaddis and want to repeat the old cooperation with you. But Link was one step ahead of me. ”
"You know, I've never been depressed!" Neil said with a laugh. "And, thank you!"
Kempner slapped him the shoulder a few times before he smiled and said to Link, "Then Link, let's go to my villa and sit down for a drink and have a good talk.
LINK WALKED UP TO HIS CAR AND SMILED AND SAID, "THIS IS THE HD VERSION, RIGHT?" THE CHEVROLET SILVERADO WILL COST $70,000 TO $80,000 FOR THE HD VERSION OF THE STANDARD CAR. It used to be the most expensive pickup truck in the world for many years.
"THAT'S RIGHT, IT'S A CHEVROLET SILVERADO, BUT IT'S A CUSTOM BULLETPROOF CAR. It's not the newest model, but it's my favorite car. Kempner said smugly. "And it's only one in the world except for its appearance. ”
Link looked at the streamlined shape of the front of the pickup truck like a luxury car, and couldn't help but see Hunter's joy, and said, "This car looks very good." You know, I also live on a farm. There are a lot of roads on the farm that are dirt and gravel. ”
"You should buy a pickup. Pickup trucks are not only the best cars for farmers, they also drive well on the road. And you can buy pickup trucks that are no worse than those luxury cars. Kempner said, opening the car door. "If you like it, you can also ask GM to customize one. ”
Neil also opened the door and got into the passenger seat first. Link followed suit and got into the back seat.
Only then did he realize that the inside of the car was indeed no worse than those luxury cars. The seats are all handmade leather seats, and the design is also very ergonomic. He sat on it and felt very comfortable.
He laughed and said, "I'm sure your car is not cheaper than any sports car." ”
Kempner closed the door and said, "The best engine was chosen, the independent suspension system was added, the solid tires of the military car were used, and of course, everything in the cab was custom-made." It does cost quite a bit. "In fact, this car has been modified, and bulletproof glass has been added, and chassis armor has been added to protect against infantry mines. He spent more than $3.2 million on it. Among them, the car audio cost him more than 30,000 US dollars, and the air conditioner cost 20,000 US dollars.
Neil smiled and said, "Link, if you want to customize a pickup, you may have to find a company other than GM." ”
Kempner thought of something. He laughed and said, "That is." I don't think they will be willing to take your order. But other companies will definitely be willing to take over your business. For example, Ford. ”
The car used the engine of a sports car, and the sound was very slight.
As soon as the car drove into the farm gate, it had been driving on the dirt road at a speed of at least forty miles, but Link barely felt any bumps.
He couldn't help but ask Kempner, "How long does it take to make a custom car like this?"
The meaning was already obvious when he asked.
His own car can make another rich man want to buy a similar one, Kempner is inevitably a little proud, he smiled and said: "I waited half a year to arrive." ”
