Pulling open the bottom drawer, I saw a large tape recorder. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Lydia scoffed, "It's just an unscrupulous politician who colludes with the gangsters, but he learns from the president everywhere." Our Congressman James Evans would love to make this study oval, right? ”

Zongheng also grinned, and said in his heart that if there were conditions, this would not be impossible.

Lydia was familiar with the tape-style tape recorder, and after a little fiddling with it, she rewinded the tape back to the beginning and began to play.

Lydia put a headset to her right ear, and Zongheng leaned her head over, and the two of them listened to the same headset.

The voices of James Evans and Kevin Belloc soon came from inside the headphones.

"Hey! Kevin! How have you been doing? "It's Jaime Evans' voice.

"Not very good. I haven't had a good night's sleep in days since that incident. "This is Kevin Belloc.

"How so? You're the number one in the family right now. As long as you give an order, the whole family will be moved. What else can stump you? "James Evans' voice sounded a little fake.

Kevin Belloc smirked twice and said, "Jaime, you should know exactly what my situation is. Don't say such hypocrisy. ”

"Alright then!" James Evans didn't deny it, "I guess you must have something important in your hurry to contact me, right?" Otherwise, you wouldn't have let me hurry back from Princefield...... Would you like a drink? ”

"Thank you. I needed it. ”

The sound of opening the bottle cap and pouring the wine came from the headphones.

"Give. The best bourbon. ”

"Thank you."

Then there was silence, a rustling sound, and no other sound.

It was a long time before Zongheng and Lydia heard Jaime Evans' voice again.

"Say it! What is going on? He said.

Kevin Belloc sighed and said, "You know the family's situation now. The unexpected death of Colano's uncle and nephew made the family's situation in Chicago extremely dire. Although I am the current leader of the family, the Capo below is ambitious. If we don't do anything else, the Lukese family, which has ruled Chicago for nearly a hundred years, will fall apart. ”

"What does this have to do with me? You're here to complain to me? ”

"Of course not. I'm here for your help. ”

"Help? I? James Evans smirked, "How can I help you?" I'm a state legislator, not a family Capo, not a Don, and I don't have a whole bunch of gunmen to help you solidify your position. ”

"Nope. You have one advantage that no one else has. That's who you are as a state legislator and how much influence you have with the police. ”

"What do you want to do?"

"I need you...... No! The clan needs your help to open up a new channel for transporting poisons@products. ”

"What?!"

"The family needs you to open up a new channel for the transportation of poisons @ products." Kevin Belloc repeated.

"Are you kidding?"

"Nope! I'm serious. ”

There was silence again.

After a while, James Evans asked, "Why do you want to open up new shipping routes?" Hasn't the original passage been destroyed yet? ”

"The original incoming route was in Cesare's hands. He's the happiest of all Capo's jumping up and down. ”

"You want to cut off the supply in his hands?!" James Evans immediately understood what Kevin meant.

"That's right." Kevin Belloc said, "This guy is Anthony Colano's most loyal lackey, and Anthony Jr. tells him to go east, and he will never go west." It was because of this that he had the opportunity to master the source channels that were crucial to the family business. I didn't think he would be an obstacle. But I have to admit that I underestimated him. As soon as Anthony Jr. and Carlos died, this guy immediately took advantage of his own access to the purchase channels, colluded with several other Capo, and teamed up to remove me from power, so that he could have a chance to become the new Don. If I hadn't temporarily dragged them down on the grounds that my priority was to avenge Uncle and Nephew Colano, these guys would have rebelled a long time ago. Thank God, the Lukese family is, after all, a traditional family with a history of nearly 100 years, and such an excuse is still somewhat binding. If it is replaced by those emerging gangs outside that only talk about money and do not talk about feelings, such an excuse may be even more worthless than toilet paper. But in any case, the Lukese family is a gangster, and everyone gets together to make better money. You and I both know that these Capos are greedy people, and whoever can bring them benefits will gain their loyalty. In order to win them over to my side, the lifeblood of the family business, the purchase channel, must be firmly in my hands. ”

"This is a fight between you and Cesare, why should it be pulled on me?" James Evans was puzzled, "If you want to cut off Cesare's incoming channels, you have to do it." Why are you looking for me? ”

"Don't be confused, James. As I said earlier, you have an identity, you have status, and most importantly, you have influence with the police. ”

"Are you trying to put me in the role of a traitor?" James Evans' tone sounded a little startled.

"It's not a traitor, you're not a core member of the family in the first place, you've always been self-contained. Even if it's a whistleblower, no one can say that you are a betrayal. "In a few days, Cesare will have a shipment arriving in Chicago." All you need to do is use your connections with the police to subtly inform the police of the news and let them arrest them. It's not a complicated thing. ”

"Why don't you go and report to the police yourself?"

Kevin Belloc laughed twice and asked, "If you want to do something bad, will you do it yourself?" ”

"I see what you mean. You're using me like a white glove. If you want to be a Don, you can't be known by the rest of your family that you've done something that is detrimental to your family's interests. Otherwise, even if Cesare is killed by you, the others will no longer be loyal to you. You can sell Cesare for power, and God knows if you'll sacrifice anyone else for what in the future. "But how can you be sure I'll do this for you?" How can I be sure that you will use me as a scapegoat to be thrown over to the rest of the family to resolve their grievances? ”

Kevin Belloc was silent at first, but after a few moments, he said, "You will." Don't forget, I've been in contact with you on behalf of my family all these years. ”

"You ......," James Evans' tone sounded agitated.

This guy must have a lot of tricks in Kevin Belloc's hands. Zongheng and Lydia thought in unison.

Sure enough, moments later, Lydia and Zongheng heard Kevin Belloc say, "I know you're carrying a siren with you, and if you press the button quietly, those guards will rush in to protect you." Maybe if you just move your mouth a little, I won't be able to get out of this manor today. But I advise you to dispel this ridiculous thought. Do you think that since I can run in the middle of the night to discuss this matter with you today, I will have no back? With the slightest rash move, the evidence will snowflake to the big newspapers and TV stations. In less than 24 hours, you will be the first state legislator in the history of the United States of America to be removed. ”

Kevin Belloc's words silenced James Evans for a while. Even though they didn't witness his demeanor at the time, Zongheng and Lydia could imagine that he was either panicked or gritted his teeth.

And Kevin Belloc didn't want to let James Evans go so easily. He continued to threaten, "Even if you don't think about yourself, think about Harry Jr.'s future. ”

"What do you want to do to Harry?" James Evans roared, like a lion.

"It's not what I'm going to do, it's what Harry does." Kevin Belloc said.

"What do you mean?!"

"In the past two days, you must have spent a lot of energy on the Cobra incident at the high school affiliated to the University of Chicago, right?"

"......" James Evans was silent.

"Have you ever wondered where Harry got the cobra?" Kevin Belloc's tone was a little sarcastic.

"He said he bought the snake from a pet store...... Did you give it to him?! James Evans was visibly surprised.

"Of course. As you know, Harry was very affectionate with his Uncle Kevin. Because Uncle Kevin was always able to accommodate his various reasonable or unreasonable requests. "You say, if I tell the news media about the Cobra incident and include a picture of Harry and the cute cobra, will the public opinion explode?" It's funny to think about. Ha ha! The son of a state legislator who brought a venomous cobra to school and secretly slipped it into the backpack of an Asian genius boy. Whether he intentionally poisoned the boy or not, the mere identity was enough for the news media to be lively for a while. By then, do you think Harry will be able to apply for an Ivy League offer and a chance to take over your class in politics? ”

"You're so mean...... It's ......annoying to coerce me in this way," said James Evans, feebly.

"Nope! You misunderstood me! Kevin Belloc laughs, "I've never liked to coerce people. I prefer to drive people with profits. Jaime, as long as you help me take out Cesare and help me build a new source of goods, I can't help but threaten you, and I will take 5% of the family's annual profits as your dividend. ”
