Chapter 0426 - Passive Everywhere
Huang Shuya called when Ling Xiao was just a little sleepy, about half an hour after Ling Xiao texted her.
"You're in New York? That's great, where are you? I'll come to you right away. Huang Shuya looked very excited.
"Not yet, I still have a patient in my hand, and he's in a terrible condition, and I have to deal with it before I can get out." Ling Xiao said.
"It's not for you to come to see me, it's me who came to find you, don't talk nonsense, give me an address." Huang Shuya is still so domineering. After Huang Zhiqiang's ALS was cured by Ling Xiao, the pressure on her shoulders to take over the family business was reduced, but the princess's temper became bigger.
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly: "I can sue you a long time ago, tell you the truth......" After a pause, he whispered: "The identity of the patient is quite special, there are many bodyguards, all with guns, I don't want you to contact these people, be obedient, and come to you when I am busy." ”
"Who are you? Are you my uncle? Do you make me obedient and I will obey? ”
"How can I be so old, how did I become your uncle?" Ling Xiao seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and almost jumped up from the bed to speak.
Can a twenty-year-old be the uncle of an eighteen-year-old girl?
That's not how you pretend to be cute, right?
Huang Shuya chuckled a few times, "Then are you my boyfriend?" ”
Ling Xiao, "......"
"So, you're not my uncle, you're not my boyfriend, why should I listen to what you say? Give me a reason to listen to you. ”
Ling Xiao, "Hey? Feed? What a coincidence, right? The phone is out of battery...... Feed? Hey, can you still hear me......"
The voice fell, and Ling Xiao decisively turned off the phone.
It is conceivable that after he turned off his mobile phone, Huang Shuya was grinning at her mobile phone, but he didn't think about it anymore.
In fact, he really wanted to meet Huang Shuya, but the situation in front of him really couldn't let her come over - the reason for Comancitello's injury had always been a shadow in his heart.
There was a knock at the door.
"Wait a minute." Ling Xiao got up on the bed, put on his clothes, and walked over to open the door.
Standing in the doorway were Donbaba and Alice.
Ling Xiao looked at the two FBI agents with some surprise, "Is there anything you two are looking for me?" ”
"Can we go in and talk?" Alice said.
Ling Xiao got out of the way, "Please come in." ”
Although he didn't know what the two FBI agents were talking to him about, and he didn't want to have too much contact with Alice and Donba, it was not wise to refuse someone without a good reason.
Alice entered the door. Don Baba was the last to enter the door, he closed the door with his backhand, and then stood in the door with his arms crossed, the size of the burly man was almost the size of the door panel, coupled with his dark and expressionless face, which suddenly gave people a lot of pressure.
"With the door closed so soon, what do they want to talk to me about?" Ling Xiao secretly guessed in his heart, but the look on his face was very natural.
Inside, Alice pulled out a box-shaped scanning device and walked slowly around the room.
There are several such devices, and the bodyguard team of Shennu Pharmaceutical also has several, which scans bugs and surveillance cameras. With this scanning device, no matter how cleverly hidden, bugging and pinhole cameras are hidden.
Alice's process of inspecting the room lasted about five minutes, and Ling Xiao just looked at her the whole time, didn't ask any questions, and didn't stop her.
If it was in China, he would definitely ask Alice to explain it to him, but this is the United States, where Glaxin Biotech is based, and he must be low-key, cautious, and careful everywhere.
After inspecting the room, Alice put away her equipment, then sat on the sofa and looked at Ling Xiao with a smile, "Mr. Ling, I'm sorry, I'm just doing this to make sure that our conversation won't be overheard." ”
Ling Xiao frowned deliberately, "I'm just a doctor, I don't want to cause any trouble...... Who would eavesdrop on a conversation like me as a doctor? ”
His expression matched his question well, and he really looked like a timid little doctor.
The smile on Alice's face became even thicker, "Mr. Ling, we have investigated your identity and history, and it would be very strange for a character like you if no one eavesdropped on your conversation." ”
Ling Xiao looked at Alice in silence.
The United States and China are two competing powers, and it is difficult for them to live in peace, so each side has many spies and agents operating in each other's territory to collect all kinds of intelligence. The FBI wants to get information about a Chinese doctor, and it's too pediatric. In this case, Ling Xiao had no way of knowing her source of information, nor did he know her motives, so it was better to talk less.
"Mr. Ling, do you know the identity of the patient?" Alice asked again.
Ling Xiao said, "Yes, Comanchitello, he is a tribal chief in Connecticut. ”
"Do you know how he got hurt?"
Ling Xiao's brows furrowed slightly, "Miss Alice, I don't seem to be your prisoner, right?" If you're looking for me to interrogate me, then I think the conversation between us should be over. ”
"I'm sorry, I can't restrain some of my professional habits, I forgot to tell you, Dumba and I are FBI agents, we are ordered to protect the safety of Comanchetello and you, and we are in charge of investigating Comanchetello's case, so I want to know more about it." Alice apologized clearly, but there was no apologetic look on her face.
"I came to the U.S. to treat patients, and I didn't want to cause any trouble." Ling Xiao said that this was his position.
"Mr. Ling, do you want to know why Chief Comanchetello was injured?"
Ling Xiao shook his head, "Don't you understand what I mean?" I'm just here to see a doctor, and I don't want to get in any trouble. He was really curious about why Comancitello was assassinated, but from his standpoint, he really didn't need to know the truth behind it.
Alice and Donbaba, who was standing in the doorway, glanced at each other, and the two seemed to make eye contact.
After a brief silence, Alice said, "Well, since you don't want to know, I'll just say it." Mr. Ling, given that we want to ensure the safety of you and Chief Comanchetello, I hope that you would do well not to contact the outside world. Even if you're in contact with someone, use the satellite phone we provide for you, which will prevent your calls from being eavesdropped. ”
Don Baba walked over, took out a rather strange mobile phone from his coat pocket and handed it to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao held the satellite phone, and suddenly understood something, he said, "You are listening to my phone? ”
Alice and Donbaba didn't admit it, but they didn't deny it either.
"You're going too far, aren't you?" Ling Xiao was really angry.
"We can only say sorry for the inconvenience caused, but please understand our position, we are also doing this for the purpose of protecting you." Alice said.
"Anything else?" Ling Xiao didn't want to see these two FBI agents anymore.
"It's okay, Mr. Ling, you can continue to rest." Alice got up and walked to the door.
Dumba was the last to leave the room, and as he had entered, he closed the door as he had entered.
Ling Xiao sat down on the sofa and fell into deep thought.
He didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble always came to him. He didn't want to know the cause of Comanchetlo's injury, but now that his personal freedom was restricted, his position that he didn't want to know the truth began to waver. The reason is very simple, if there is someone or an organization that threatens his life, but he doesn't even know the details of the other party, isn't it too passive?
Just now, as Alice and Donbaba were leaving the room, there was a moment when he wanted to ask Comanchetello about the cause of his injury, but he gave up again. Even if he asked, Alice might not tell him the truth. The situation is even more complicated if Alice has ulterior motives to steer him in the wrong direction.
After sitting quietly for a while, Ling Xiao dialed Anna's mobile phone from his satellite phone.
"Anna, I've settled here, how are you doing?" Ling Xiao asked.
"The listing team has almost been formed, and for this reason, I also deliberately poached a professional talent from a headhunting company at a high price, and then you will meet him, his name is Chen Daomin."
"Chen Daomin?" Ling Xiao felt that this name was somewhat familiar.
"Hehe, he's not the movie star in your Huaguo, that's Chen Daoming, we're Chen Daomin, Ming and Min are different." Anna said with a smile.
Ling Xiao also smiled, he didn't expect Anna to popularize Chinese knowledge for him, a Chinese.
"How much money has been raised so far?" Ling Xiao asked.
"Before, we had 50 million, 21 million in the stock market, and plus the money we received in the recent period, we had 80 million in cash."
"It's still 20 million short ......of our budget," Ling Xiao frowned, "Otherwise, sell the Hanging Pot House, although the real estate market is sluggish now, such a house can still be sold for 10 million." ”
"Don't worry about money, I've already figured out a way here."
"Uh, what's the solution?"
"That's the case, didn't someone make a rumor when you went back to the goddess village last time? Many reporters went to Shennu Pharmaceutical to dig up our black material, and as a result, you took them to visit the Shennu Pharmaceutical Production Base, as well as Shennu Village and Jasmine Primary School, don't you know, now many media describe you as the most conscientious private entrepreneur, well, there is also the reputation of the legendary miracle doctor, and our product beauty cream has also been stained, and even more regular hospitals have come to place orders, and business is very hot. ”
"You mean ......"
"Yes, the business is so good, we have to change the rules, give the money first, and pay in full, and then we will send the order." Anna said.
Ling Xiao let out a long sigh of relief, and a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"So, money is not a big problem anymore, I estimate that when our team leaves for the United States, I can raise more than 100 million funds for you. The most urgent thing at the moment is on your side, we need to have a professional team to help us operate, find the right shell company for us, and contact the relevant authorities in the United States to enter the approval process. ”
"Okay, give me an email before our team comes over, and I'll make arrangements in advance." Ling Xiao said.
"Well, okay. By the way, one person over there, be careful. Anna admonished.
Ling Xiao's heart warmed, "Well, I will, you should take care of your body." ”
After a few more small talks, the two ended the call.
