Chapter Twenty-Six: Battlefields Everywhere
"We're going to be fine here, but these two wolf skins won't get us far. The signal here is not good either. I've already asked the chief to say hello, so I'll go to the base station in the mine and try to contact the headquarters in a moment. Jessica said to Mike helplessly
"I'll go with you, Sister J. Mike said worriedly
"Okay. Jessica took Mike to the mines.
Jessica dialed a few times, but she still couldn't connect to her and the old king's encrypted channel. She tried to put in touch with another agent, but there was no response. She tried a few more and finally someone answered the phone.
"Thank goodness for finally being able to reach you, Frank. What the hell is going on at HQ?" asked Jessica anxiously.
"Oh my God, you're alright, Jessica. That's great. You must have been out on a mission like me. You must not go back!" Agent Frank said loudly
"What the hell is going on?" Jessica asked again
"I couldn't contact the headquarters at first, so I sneaked back. When I arrived, I found out that not long ago, the old king's cousin and several ministers broke into the palace in the middle of the night to rebel and put the old king's family under house arrest. Our Shata country has now changed dynasties. They caught all but a few of us old men who were on duty! Just a few days ago, they broadcast live on television the news of our old king's banishment in the desert. It's so hateful! our poor kings, princesses, and princes!," Frank said, sending a video of the news.
Mike stared blankly, unable to utter a word. In the picture, the scorching sun is in the sky, and the old king's family of three and a heartfelt servant are stumbling forward in the desert with the wild sand and howling. The host listed the crimes they had committed one by one. Mike couldn't stand it anymore, and Princess Eva, who was so high, helped the old king to wander away in the yellow sand, and he hated himself deeply. It must have been the financial empire that overthrew and exiled the old king indiscriminately because of the previous events. He blames himself for being a broom star, and no one who touches him will end well, his mother is like this, his sister is like this, Rain is like this, and now even Eva's family is like this.
"Sister J, let's go back and save the old king. I'm all responsible for this!" Mike said to Jessica in pain
"My dear Mike, I understand how you're feeling right now. But if we go back now, we will only be in the net and will not help them in the slightest. Two of our agents have been caught, and I think we'll confess soon, so we'll be targeted as soon as we show our faces on surveillance. Moreover, they deliberately made the picture public, firstly, to set an example, and secondly, they wanted to lure us old subordinates into the bait and catch them all. So we must not fall for them. Now it is time to preserve the strength and find out the details of the other party. Jessica said comforting Mike
In fact, Jessica's analysis is very correct, and she is also very aware of the strength of the empire. They are just a drop in the ocean, and it is undoubtedly self-defeating to save the king. Now the first thing is to stop Mike from doing stupid things, and then to solve the problem of funding, and then to think about the things that are left to do in the long run.
"The old king and his family are kind to me, I can't die without help!" Mike shouted excitedly.
"Why don't I! I am also the old king who rescued me from the orphanage! But the more we should calm down at this time, shouldn't we? Moreover, the old king is the blood of the royal family, whether according to tradition or under the pressure of public opinion, the other party will never dare to take their lives, and I can guarantee you this vote. Our priority is to settle the expenses and then go and save your sister first. If you want to do everything at the same time, then you can't do anything!" Jessica shouted at Mike excitedly. Mike was dumbfounded by Jessica's words, so he had to follow her back to the village.
As soon as Jessica returned, she explained the current situation to everyone and asked everyone how much money they still had in their hands.
"I don't have it, my money was given to you in the car at that time. Seth said, pulling into a pocket that was cleaner than his face
"I still have some here, my mother's insurance money, it's all here. Rain said as he took out all the money in his backpack.
"I... Mike said with a stumbling voice
Jessica interrupted Mike knowing he was penniless, saying, "It's okay, Mike." I still have a little bit here, and I'll make up with the rain, so let's go to the next bigger city and figure it out. ”
"I'm a hacker, but I can hack some money from the 'broiler' (hackers usually sneak into many computers but don't let the other party know, and then control the other party when necessary, they are used to calling this behavior a machine, and the hacked computer is called a broiler), but only a small amount of money will not be found. If the big money card is now strict, the account will be frozen during the day, and at most the night's black dreams will be recovered. Seth added another useless truth.
"Wait a minute, do you mean you can use a lot of money overnight?" Mike asked, immediately grabbing Seth excitedly
"Uhhhh Oh, yes.. But you have to turn back before dawn, or you will be tracked within a week. Seth replied with a blanket look on his face
"That's enough! Can you get a few bank accounts that won't be found, but that we can withdraw?" Mike asked again
"I have this. Jessica answered for Seth before he could speak.
"Then the problem of funding should not be a problem. But it's going to be hard for Seth to stay up late with me. Is that okay?" Mike asked Seth earnestly
"Uhhhh It should be fine, right... Seth reluctantly agreed, but in his heart, he felt more and more that this ZXC group was really a group composed of weirdos. (Except, of course)
After a week of hard night and night, Mike and Seth, who was holding a laptop, smiled and spread the computer on the table with dark bags under his eyes. Jessica looked at the screen, she thought she had made a mistake, and counted the balance on the account displayed on the screen one by one with her fingers - 6,77,139,400 yuan.
"Oh my God! That's more than enough money for a few of us to travel around the world! Are you robbing a bank, Mike? Tell me about it. Jessica said excitedly at a loss
"It's cooler than robbing a bank, Mike is really a god. I just watched the money in my account jump and jump every morning, it's like magic, hahahaha!" Seth said with a laugh as he patted Mike on the shoulder
"I'm not that godly, first of all, Seth 'loans' 5 million every night. I will use the money to buy and sell gold futures in the international futures market. Before our investment team was studying this topic, my mentor told me that the financial crisis that began a few years ago has greatly increased everyone's demand for gold value preservation, so the price of gold has been rising, but he told me that the global storage of gold is actually far less than the world's currency trading volume today, it is impossible to replace everyone's value preservation needs, but it is just a fake demand under the rush of people to go to the doctor. When everyone wakes up from reality, gold will definitely fall sharply, so as to restore a rational price. And along the way, I have seen related news reports, the price of gold has suddenly soared all the way without warning recently, and the related news comments have also increased a lot. As the saying goes: if you want to die, you have to go crazy first. I immediately checked the trading volume of the futures. While everyone is optimistic, there are more and more buy and short orders in the market. I concluded that the trap was about to be closed. In the first few days, I continued to go long gold in the futures market as the trading volume of gold in the spot market continued to increase. As luck would have it, just two days ago I suddenly noticed that the volume of the spot market began to shrink sharply, and I guess it was already calm before the storm. So I doubled my leverage to buy gold day by day. In the past two days, the price of gold has plummeted at the opening, and then, as Seth said, the two of us have been jumping in front of the screen watching the numbers. Mike gushed about another big win of his own.
Although a few people didn't fully understand what Mike was saying, the actual account balance had gilded what Mike was saying. Jessica's efficiency is also very good, as soon as the gas is filled, this ZXC brand sports car starts to start. The group embarked on the journey to the next waterfall. At night, Mike half-leaned on the sleeper in the train car and couldn't sleep. He looked up at the night sky, and there were as many stars in the sky as there were on the night he met Eva. He pulled out the old phone that Jessica had pulled out the calling card and pulled out the familiar group photo. Eva is still as beautiful as ever. Mike wanted to laugh but couldn't, just looked at the photo stupidly, looking at himself stupidly in the photo.
