Chapter 105: Sea of Flowers (I)
"Derstadtdesteufels, this is Ghost 3, the target is not present. Repeat: The target does not appear. The man dressed as a cleaner tilted his head and reported calmly. Derstadtdesteufels means "devil's town" in German, which means "ghost town".
A deep male voice came from the well-hidden pocket headset: "Ghost 3, the target temporarily changed the destination, we temporarily changed to the No. 1 plan, and the Evil Spirit 2 carried out a road sniper, but failed, losing 7 imps." β
Ghost-3 was silent for two seconds and asked, "What's my next mission?" β
"The target should now be Croydon on the south side of Greater London. Based on a comprehensive analysis of previous records, we suspect that the European headquarters or UK branch of Flower Sea is in Croydon, and now you need to rush to Croydon immediately, cooperate with Evil Spirit-2, and wait for instructions on what to do next. β
"Ghost 3 understands." As he spoke, his hands moved skillfully, and the huge Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle instantly turned into a part state in his hand, and then he easily put the parts back in the box, stuffed them into the cleaning cart, and calmly pushed them away.
A silver Rolls-Royce drove into a manor. This is a very typical English manor. "Britain is the country, and the country is England." This is a famous quote from Conservative leader Baldwin and a standard Briton motto. Unlike the countrymen in the eyes of the Chinese, the British aristocracy has always been happy to be a countryman.
From ancient times to the present day, an estate has its own culture and system, and the secrets of the estate may have been hidden for centuries. The manor is a past that belongs to all mankind. The ancient Romans learned luxury, and they had estates of fame and fortune; The British saw through industry, and they had country estates; The Russians got the serfs, and they had the estates of the nobility; The French created wine, and they had estates full of wine.
The location of the England branch of "Flower Sea" is this manor. Like other English estates, the estate follows the 16th-century Elizabethan Renaissance and Gothic styles, with a faΓ§ade larger than the bottom, a half-timbered building with courtyards, gardens, terraces, lakes and fountains.
Although it is not full of holes, this Rolls-Royce does need a major overhaul, especially the rear, which has been punched out of N bullet holes, and the rear windshield is all shattered, like a military vehicle that has just come down from the battlefield in Iraq.
In the manor, several staff members checked it seemingly casually, and then drove in comfortably. The car stopped in front of a Victorian-style three-story building, and Shuxin parked the car, while Helena smiled and said to Xiao Chen: "Shaodong, we are safe, get out of the car." β
Xiao Chen felt as if he had experienced a movie himself today, and he would continue to experience it. This made him a little excited in his heart, maybe men are born with such a hidden adventure factor, even if it is a man who is usually very calm.
The only strange thing about Xiao Chen at the moment was that the English branch of this sea of flowers did not seem to be as heavily guarded as he imagined, on the contrary, it did look like a manor, a very ordinary English manor - except that the area was slightly larger.
"Shaodong, please follow me." Shu Xin gestured slightly to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen nodded and walked after Shu Xin, while Helena still followed Xiao Chen inch by inch.
This building is neither new nor old, there is nothing outstanding on the first floor, and the direction of the comfortable lead makes Xiao Chen even more puzzled. She walked towards WC, and when she saw the pattern of the female surname, Xiao Chen had to ask: "Uh, am I ......?"
"It's cover, you don't have to take it seriously." Shu Xin explained, pushed the door open and entered, then stood at the door, making a waiting motion.
Xiao Chen had no choice but to walk inside, but as soon as he entered this female wc, he couldn't help but wonder, cover? This is simply a serious female wc.
Shu Xin seemed to know his doubts, beckoned slightly, walked into the third separate bathroom, touched the back of the toilet for a while, as if twisting something, and three seconds later, the wall behind suddenly cracked a door.
Shu Xin gestured to Xiao Chen, and walked in first. Xiao Chen followed, and Helena walked at the end and felt a switch inside to close the door.
Xiao Chen only realized at this time that the place he came in was an elevator. Shu Xin pressed a key on the button of the elevator that Xiao Chen couldn't understand, and the elevator began to sink down.
Shu Xin looked at Xiao Chen, who was still able to calm down beside him, and couldn't help but admire his courage a little. In fact, people's greatest fear comes from the unknown. Xiao Chen was still able to maintain absolute composure at this moment, neither looking anxious nor sluggish, which she really didn't expect. Shu Xin thought that after 40 peaks and valleys of training with Helena, he was also a little nervous when he came to the England branch for the first time, but Xiao Chen's appearance at the moment was stronger than they were at the beginning.
In fact, she didn't understand one thing, when she and Helena first came here, they were only level 4 clearance, and their status in the sea of flowers was very limited. And although Xiao Chen only learned about such an organization as Huahai today, he knew that he was the only legal heir of Xinlan Group, with the highest level of level 9 authority. Mentally, he looked at the England division from the height of the master, so he naturally wouldn't be too nervous.
The door of the elevator opened, and the appearance inside was once again beyond Xiao Chen's expectations. Xiao Chen thought that it should be the same as watching American blockbusters back then, it was full of incomprehensible high-tech products, and it was a virtual NavInfo. Who knew that it was actually an ordinary company office hall, separated from some large companies, and a total of seven or eight computers that should be very advanced at the moment were used by them. The only thing Xiao Chen didn't know was something that could be a large calculator or a ground master receiver of a satellite.
There are only 7 people in the entire "office hall", and the characteristics are: they are all women, and depending on their age, they should cover between 20 and 50.
A woman in her thirties with rimless glasses walked over, glanced at Xiao Chen, and asked Shuxin, "Golden Rose, is this Mr. Xiao?" β
Shu Xin nodded and said, "Yes, Lady Melinda." As she spoke, she turned her head to Xiao Chen and said, "Shaodong, this is Ms. Melinda, the executive director of the England branch, with level 7 authority. β
Melinda took the initiative to stretch out her hand: "I'm very happy to see that you are safe and sound, Mr. Xiao." β
Xiao Chen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and shook her gently: "Fortunately." β
Melinda didn't seem to introduce Xiao Chen's meaning to the rest of her subordinates in this "office hall", but said: "The chairman has already called a few times to ask about the cause and result of today's incident. Well, I would say that the chairman was shocked by Mr. Shaw's assassination, and she was critical of the laxity of the England division. Mr. Xiao, I am very sorry for this. In addition, the chairman hopes that Mr. Xiao can contact her immediately after he escapes...... Mr. Xiao, are you convenient now? β
Xiao Chen nodded: "No problem." β
Melinda said, "Okay, please come with me." As she spoke, she also beckoned to Shu Xin and Helena, and then made a "please" gesture to Xiao Chen, turned her head and led the way.
Xiao Chen only found out at this time that outside of this "office hall", there was a single secret room. Melinda took him into a separate secret room, which was small in size, so it was very simple: a single bed, a table, a computer on the table, no chairs in the room, and a telephone on the bedside table.
Melinda saw Xiao Chen's doubts and explained: "This is the duty room, waiting for the orders of the Huahai headquarters and the chairman at any time. Mr. Xiao, you can use this phone to call the chairman, and under normal circumstances, this phone will not be tapped. β
The general situation she said, Xiao Chen didn't know how to call it general. Because no phone call, under "normal circumstances", will not be tapped.
He nodded and walked towards the phone, while Melinda quietly closed the door and said to Shu Xin and Helena, "I need your detailed report...... Golden roses, silver roses, are you sure that the 'ghost town' has dispatched 'evil spirits'? β
Shu Xin and Helena glanced at each other and nodded in unison.
Melinda's face became serious, she looked at the two of them and asked, "What do you think is the purpose of the 'ghost town' this time?" What do they get by killing Mr. Xiao? β
Helena said, "Aren't they here for revenge?" β
Melinda laughed and said, "When did you see the 'ghost town' doing things and doing things at a loss?" Get you back? For 'ghost towns', revenge is an emotion that is never necessary. Whether it is face or dignity, the 'ghost town' never pays attention to it, they only talk about interests, and if there is no benefit, they have no reason to make a move, which is the biggest experience I have gained from the 'ghost town' in the past 13 years in the England branch. β
"Did Thornsbury hire 'Ghost Town' again?" Shu Xin interjected and asked.
"I think so." Melinda said: "Otherwise, the 'ghost town' would not have come to England from Germany to trouble us. β
Helena was a little depressed: "Philip. Hampton is really crazy, Huahai was founded by Xinlan Group, and Xinlan can use it however he wants. But the 'ghost town' is not Thornsbury, and every time Sunsbury hires a 'ghost town' to sell, the price is at least 50 million US dollars, and he is doing this to the detriment of others and himself, and it is completely a loss-making business. β
Melinda waved her hand: "Philip is not stupid, he must have a purpose in doing this, otherwise Sansbury would not have risen so quickly." To be honest, the decision not to invest in Sansburi was a bit of a mistake. β
Shu Xin disagreed, and said: "At that time, the chairman had no spare money in his hands. And, as it turned out, acquiring Cisco was more cost-effective than investing in Tsunsbury. β
Melinda breathed a sigh of relief: "The question now is, Philip is not a stupid person, then, his purpose in killing Mr. Xiao can never be to vent his anger, so what is he for?" β
