Chapter 164: Undercurrent
In the eyes of ordinary people in the United States, the most famous manor in New York is undoubtedly the Rockefeller Manor located in Upstate New York, which was built in the Pocantico Mountains, covering an area of 3,400 acres with a history of hundreds of years, is undoubtedly one of the most famous private residences in the United States. God's villa"
However, what ordinary people in the United States don't know is that behind the "God's villa" in their minds, at the top of the Pocantico Mountains, in a place hidden by lush forests, there is a private estate of comparable scale to the Rockefeller Manor, but all the families in the middle and upper reaches of American power know very well that the manor that seems to be isolated from the world is the private estate of the American underworld tycoon, the Manzoni family.
At noon, in the private garden of Manzoni Manor, old George is like the same gardener, carrying a kettle, watering the flower bed in front of him, looking at the leisurely appearance of old George, it is difficult to connect this ordinary old man with an underworld tycoon who has ruled the American underworld for nearly half a century.
However, it is this ordinary-looking old man who has pushed the influence of the Manzoni family in the American underground society to the peak with his iron-blooded means, at least at this moment, Arnold, who is standing not far behind Old George, knows this very well.
Pouring the last drop of water from the kettle into the faintly scented flowers, old George turned. Slowly walked to a gazebo in the garden, casually put the iron kettle aside, and asked lightly, "Arnold." You're looking for me in such a hurry, it seems that things have settled in Hawaii? ”
Hearing Old George's question, Arnold immediately followed respectfully and replied, "Yes, boss, everything is as you ordered, while selling Logan a face." Knocked Wilson again indirectly. ”
From Arnold's answer, it is not difficult to see what happened to Ye Qiu in Hawaii. From beginning to end, it seemed to be under the control of Old George, and even the conflict between Wilson and Ye Qiu, Old George had expected it early.
"Oh. Yes. That's fine, what do you think about this? ”
Hearing that things were not beyond his expectations, Old George responded lightly, and then sat on the chaise longue arranged in the gazebo, squinting his eyes slightly, making it impossible to guess what this old man with huge power was thinking in his heart at the moment.
But old George's seemingly casual questioning. But Arnold didn't know how to answer.
As George's henchman, Arnold's natural way has a lot of news that outsiders can't know. Among these secrets, Ye Qiu's matter was one of them.
Arnold, who has followed Old George for nearly ten years, has always been full of doubts about Old George's views on this matter, and Arnold has always wondered why an ordinary boy from an ordinary background, although he has some potential but is not worthy of being amazing, would make Old George look at him so differently.
Arnold knew very well that since George Sr. had been to Rochester, he had ordered him to use a lot of connections to pay attention to this seemingly ordinary teenager.
For Ye Qiu's surveillance, although it did not reach the level of intensification of sending people to track him uninterruptedly, he always paid attention to Ye Qiu's movements, whether it was the other party's performance in the APC, or the tasks assigned later, as long as it was related to Ye Qiu, almost all of them would be sorted out by Arnold himself the next day and sent to Old George.
Take this time Ye Qiu was sent to Hawaii to carry out a mission, although Ye Qiu was told that this mission was a secret operation when he accepted the mission, but with the power of the Manzoni family, with Ye Qiu's level in the FBI at the moment, the secret two can be said to be completely non-existent for the Manzoni family.
After that, whether it was Ye Qiu's goal or what Ye Qiu did in Hawaii, almost all of them would be known by Arnold the next day, and what made Arnold even more incomprehensible was that just by relying on the news of these words, Old George was able to conclude that Ye Qiu would definitely clash with the Manzoni family's forces in Hawaii, and ordered Arnold to come forward and coordinate in advance at the right time.
If there was no prior order from Old George, relying on the relationship between Arnold and Ye Qiu, at that time, he would not necessarily risk the damage to the family's interests to stand up for Ye Qiu.
As for what Brianna's boyfriend, the grandson-in-law that old George almost identified, these are just Arnold's prevarications, since he can be in Arnold's position, the so-called family affection is just a bargaining chip that can be used, and Arnold believes that his boss is definitely more ruthless than himself in this regard, and in the face of huge interests, it is impossible to open up just because the other party is the person his granddaughter cares about.
Arnold, who has been following old George all the year round, knows the character of old George very well in his heart, and since his boss asked him at this moment, Arnold honestly raised his inner doubts, and never concealed his thoughts in front of his boss, which is also a reason why Arnold can be valued by old George.
With a decision in his heart, Arnold said with some hesitation: "Actually, I feel that Wilson's original method is more in line with our interests in Hawaii, if we follow his approach, we will have an agent in Hawaii who can be fully controlled, and with Paul's position in the heaven-sent land at that time, it happened that the main person in charge of the Hawaii branch of the FBI encountered an unexpected situation, and there will be a very large room for promotion, so that our business there can almost be said to be unimpeded from now on." ”
After fully revealing what he was thinking, Arnold stood quietly aside, waiting for old George's orders.
Seeing that Arnold was still very "obedient" as before, George Sr. felt that his mood was much better, and he was not unhappy because Arnold questioned his decision.
"Arnold, remember how I arranged it before?" Old George asked.
"Yes. If Logan still wanted to rely on his own ability to choose to break through when he was in trouble, the people I had arranged there before would not have helped. If the other party finds out that the people besieging them belong to our family, but they still stubbornly do not ask for help, then our people will still not make a move. Arnold respectfully recited Old George's original order.
"Good." Old George was satisfied with Arnold's "memory", nodded slightly, and continued: "I don't know my ability, so I rely on my enthusiasm to break through. This is a brainless idiot, with absolutely no place to exploit, and if he knows that someone can save him from his predicament. But because of affection or some other stupid emotion, he personally extinguished his chance to escape from the predicament, and the guy who didn't know how to be flexible died in vain, but Logan's performance this time made me understand. The other party is still very potential. It's still worth my investment in him. ”
Although he knew that Old George's every step of the arrangement had his special purpose, Old George's words did not completely dispel Arnold's doubts, there is potential and development, and the so-called elites who know that flexibility are not in the minority of the Manzoni family, and as long as the Manzoni family is interested, I believe that there will be more outstanding talents who want to join the Manzoni family with their lives, and they must know about Hawaii. If it is handled according to Wilson's idea, it will bring at least tens of millions of benefits to the Manzoni family. This kind of huge interest is definitely not comparable to that of an excellent talent.
How could the doubts in Arnold's heart be hidden from Old George's eyes, looking at this cronie who wanted to speak and stopped, Old George didn't want to explain, and said lightly: "Arnold, some things will not come to an end so quickly, and what our decision is, can only be verified by time." ”
After saying this ambiguous sentence, old George closed his eyes and lay down on the wooden chaise longue relaxedly.
Arnold, who was familiar with Old George's character, saw his boss's behavior, and knew that this conversation was in this position, so he respectfully owed himself and turned around and left here.
When Arnold's figure disappeared at the end of the garden, old George, who had been asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the clear sky in the distance, and whispered to himself, "Dillon, what is so special about this young man, and what are you thinking?" ”
At this moment, in the private villa of the Addams family, Clegg, who was seriously injured by Ye Qiu in the APC, was lying quietly on his hospital bed, looking at the figure buried in the depths of his impression in front of him in surprise, as if he was very puzzled by the sudden appearance of the other party in front of him.
"Uncle Wallace, you...... It's back. ”
"Well, Clegg, I heard that you were injured, of course I have to come back to visit......" The middle-aged man named Wallace just wanted to express his concern to his nephew, but he suddenly paused in the middle of the conversation, and smiled at Clegg, who was lying on the hospital bed and unable to move at the moment, "I still have some things, I will come to visit you in a while." ”
Before Clegg could react, Wallace turned around and left the room.
Wallace walked out of the ward, carefully closed the door, looked sharply at the corner of the corridor not far from the room, snorted coldly, and walked in the opposite direction.
"Uncle Wallace, do you have such a grudge against me, that you finally came back once, but you didn't even have the idea of seeing me?"
With a crisp sound, a young man came out of the shadows of the corridor, and what was surprising was that this young man's appearance was actually three points similar to Ye Qiu, especially his eyes, which were almost carved out of the same mold as Ye Qiu.
When he heard that voice, Wallace paused, but still didn't turn around, and said in a cold tone: "I'm sorry, we don't have any feelings between us, so we don't need to meet, and, you remember for me, fifteen years ago, Wallace?" Adams is dead, my name is Dillon, please don't recognize the wrong person in the future. ”
After saying that, without giving the boy a chance to speak, Dillon stopped staying and left the place directly. (To be continued......)
