Chapter 545: Replacement
However, Peter and the others are not in the same group as Old Jack, Xu Dong has no intention of caring about it, anyway, things have come to this point, no matter whether Peter and they will let Old Jack go, Xu Dong also wants to find Old Jack to have a good theory.
In this way, there was no need to say anything else to Peter, Xu Dong asked directly: "Do you know where Old Jack is usually located?" β
Old Jack was no longer in the hut behind the wooden building, so Xu Dong could only ask Peter, where would Old Jack go in such a short time?
Unexpectedly, Peter shook his head as he walked towards the warehouse and said: "Old Jack is a very mysterious person, and I have only seen him once so far, and I haven't seen his face clearly, and if I want to find him, I'm afraid I have to find James." β
James is the closest person to Old Jack, and finding him is naturally the quickest path.
The bodyguards who were originally guarding around the wooden building probably didn't receive Old Jack's orders, so Xu Dong and Old Jack swaggered out, and no one stopped them.
At this time, the warehouse has long been lively, Prince Wales and David have already won a lot, and there is another big winner, that is, Ito.
At the beginning of the gambling game, Ito and his boss set up a self-appointed banker, and in less than an hour, Ito ate several handfuls with his superb gambling skills, and won hundreds of millions in total.
Prince Wales and David, naturally, saw the wind and steered the rudder, took advantage of Ito, and won tens of millions of dollars.
Seeing Xu Dong and Peter coming in, no one paid much attention at first, after all, these two people were invited by Old Jack, and not all the people who were invited by Old Jack would never return, so it was not surprising that Xu Dong and Peter went and returned.
However, some people were surprised to find that in the past, Peter went in a wheelchair, but now, Peter actually walked back by himself!
Yes, Peter, who has been in a wheelchair for almost twenty years, is walking back.
Several people looked at Peter dumbfounded, and even Ito, who was working as a banker, had a big change in expression, how could this be?
On the contrary, it was Wales and David, who just turned their heads and glanced at Xu Dong and Peter, and greeted them lightly: "Master...... Big...... Peter Boss ...... You're back...... Big...... Big ......"
Xu Dong nodded slightly, didn't look at the gambling table, and asked David directly: "David, have you seen James?" β
David was stunned, his eyes glanced at the gaming table, and then he turned around: "Oh, I was still here just now, hey, why didn't you see it?" β
Xu Dong pulled David over and said in a low voice: "The plan has changed, we can't gamble anymore, we have more important things to do." β
"Ah, what's going on, what could be more important?" David looked at Xu Dong in some surprise, the ultimate goal of coming here is to gamble on a shop, what is more important than this?
Xu Dong said in a low voice: "Mr. Peter wants to find Old Jack for bad luck, it is estimated that in a while, there will be chaos here, and you two must prepare in advance." β
If he wants to find something bad about Old Jack, Xu Dong can't directly involve David, so he can only tell David to get ready.
David was a little distracted all of a sudden, and only after a while did he say, "It's finally time to start working, so it's okay to ......."
Come to think of it, David has also heard some things such as old Jack oppressing Peter and others on weekdays, so although David was a little shocked when he heard that he was going to start working soon, he was not very surprised, but he didn't expect that at this time, he would start working in this situation again.
David finally came to his senses, glanced at Peter, and after a little silence, he immediately pointed to the side door of the warehouse, and said, "James just went out through this door......"
Xu Dong turned his head, signaled to Peter, and immediately walked to the side door of the warehouse, Peter followed, David looked at Peter's back, and glanced at the table very unwillingly, so he reluctantly followed Peter.
Xu Dong nodded and walked into the other side door of the warehouse, only to find that there was another mystery on this side...... On this side of the warehouse, there is a walkway, and in the walkway, there are several heavily armed bodyguards.
Seeing Xu Dong and Peter and others coming in, several bodyguards immediately raised their guns in their hands, pointed at Xu Dong, and asked loudly, "What are you doing......
At this time, where did Xu Dong dare to be polite to them, he directly used his ability, and unknowingly injected into the arms of several bodyguards, so that in an instant, the muzzle of the gun hung down involuntarily, pointing at his legs and feet.
One of the bodyguards was the first to react, raising his gun again, wanting to aim at Xu Dong, but a pair of hands as if they were not his own, and he did not listen to his command at all.
"Ah...... Enemy attack ......," the bodyguard shouted.
It's a pity that the bodyguard himself felt that this "enemy attack" was inaudible at all, and he could hardly even hear it clearly.
It's just that this bodyguard never figured out how he was plotted, what kind of plot he was subjected to, and how he didn't even feel paralyzed, so he lost his ability to control.
At this time, Peter strode by, and didn't think about why these bodyguards didn't resist, but just punched everyone in the head, directly knocking these bodyguards unconscious.
At the end of the passage, there was an iron door, Xu Dong had just approached, and the iron door opened automatically, and a dazzling light suddenly shot out from inside, making Xu Dong unable to open his eyes.
"You're really good!" At the moment when Xu Dong raised his hand to protect his eyes, a voice inside said: "It's a pity that you did something stupid......"
It's Old Jack! Xu Dong hurriedly put down his hand and tried to adapt to the strong light.
In the dazzling light, Xu Dong could only barely see a black shadow in the light, and he could only know by his voice that it was Old Jack who spoke, and Xu Dong couldn't see the specific face of Old Jack either.
It's just that since he came here, Xu Dong didn't have anything to say, and while half-closing his eyes and avoiding the dazzling lights, he approached Old Jack very quickly.
Seeing Xu Dong approaching, Old Jack shouted: "You escaped from that cage, don't find a place to hide quickly, and dare to run here to die, I really don't know what to ......do."
"You call me stupid, I don't know if it's good or bad, I said, the confrontation between the two of us is definitely your disaster......" In the blink of an eye, Xu Dong was less than two meters away from Old Jack.
At this time, Xu Dong finally saw the face of Old Jack, this so-called "Old Jack" turned out to be James!
At the same time, Xu Dong also noticed another point, the voice of the so-called "Old Jack" did not come out of James's mouth, James closed his mouth, but said: "Since you want to find death, don't blame me for being rude......"
This sentence did come from James, but James really didn't move his lips!
This surprised Peter and David, who followed inβwhere was old Jack hiding?
But Xu Dong understood in an instant, this James knows the legendary "ventriloquism" technique! At this moment, a row of dark purple light curtains suddenly fell in front of Xu Dong, separating Xu Dong from James.
"Laser ......," David yelled from behind.
This light curtain is indeed an extremely high-energy laser, with this laser separating it, not to mention that Xu Dong does not dare to take half a step forward, I am afraid that even David, who is holding a gun in the back, has nothing to do with James.
Xu Dong was slightly stunned, and then retreated sharply, since James could use a laser to separate himself, it was entirely possible to make another laser cage and trap himself.
It's just that Xu Dong retreated sharply, and at the same time exerted his ability to the extreme, passing through the laser light curtain in an instant, and infusing a wave of ability into James's body.
James launched the laser light curtain, which was supposed to immediately cut off Xu Dong's retreat, but in an instant, James's body was completely frozen, unable to move, unable to speak, and unable to even roll his eyes.
Xu Dong retreated to Peter's side, took a breath a little, and then said: "Mr. Peter, the so-called old Jack, it's all this James who is messing around......"
"What the hell is James doing?" Peter and David asked, both surprised.
Anyway, James can't run now, Xu Dong smiled slightly, and said neatly: "If my estimate is correct, Old Jack must have been killed by this James, and then he himself will pretend to be Old Jack." β
"How could it be ......" Peter was shocked, he obviously heard Old Jack's voice, how could he be harmed by James.
"It......'s very simple," Xu Dong replied, "This James knows the art of ventriloquism, and the so-called old Jack's voice is all spoken by James in ventriloquism." β
"Ventriloquist ......" Peter looked at Xu Dong incredulously.
At this time, James's eyes could see and his ears could hear, but he couldn't move, and when he heard Xu Dong's words, he broke his own mechanism, and the sweat on his head suddenly fell like a scoop of water.
Xu Dong smiled: "What I said is not true, I believe it won't take long to confirm, the only thing to do now is to turn off this laser, and then go over and ask him directly." β
Peter gritted his teeth, pondered slightly, and immediately said: "Mr. Xu, if what you said is true, this will be an earth-shattering event in the whole of New York, but I am afraid that ...... 'M afraid...... When the time comes, it will ...... It will turn the world upside down, Mr. Xu, this matter is probably ...... I'm afraid I'll have to make another plan......"
Looking at Peter, Xu Dong's heart chilled for no reason, although Peter's words were not explained, Xu Dong immediately guessed what Peter meant.
- Since Old Jack is gone, and James is able to impersonate Old Jack and charge all of Old Jack's men a hefty "protection fee", why can't Peter?
Peter's other plan is nothing more than to replace James, and Peter himself will be "Old Jack".
In an instant, Xu Dong had countless thoughts in his heart, and after a long while, he said: "I can help you, but from now on, you can't get involved in the business of the Qiao family, and you can't ...... anything else."
"Besides......" Peter didn't wait for Xu Dong to finish speaking, and immediately said: "I miscalculated, the investment I spent on you can't be recovered, and besides, I not only failed to recover the investment, but also lost another five billion ......."
At this point, it can be said that it is completely Xu Dong's help, and to completely replace James, there are many things that need Xu Dong's continued help, not to mention that Xu Dong also began to say the conditions.
These conditions, Peter naturally doesn't need Xu Dong to say more, as long as he can replace James and lend Xu Dong one billion, it is no longer money, in addition, Xu Dong owes a total of nearly five billion, which Peter knows, so Peter will offer Xu Dong another five billion.
