Chapter 488: A Date
Neo was notified of Ivan's arrival in Donglin City, and his request to meet with Ivan first was denied.
The lazy Ivan reason is very simple: "I already know the importance of the goods, and since the request for a price increase has not been fully agreed, we will not meet with you." ”
Ivan's attitude was expected by Neo, and if Ivan was really in a hurry to meet him, he would have to start doubting whether the operation was successful.
Based on the information Anthony gathered in Marina City, Neo preliminarily judged that Ivan had indeed succeeded. According to various local news materials sent by Anthony, there were even some places without power after the citywide network was cut off last night. The details of the power outage are basically consistent with the process of breaking Su Xiaoxiao's light and strong current defense described by Ivan. From this point of view, his judgment is indeed correct, the defensive barrier formed by Su Xiaoqing is quite strong.
The question now is how to reassure Ivan and convince him that the price increase is indeed okay.
Then only by contacting Albert did Neo not want to pay the money himself.
"Ivan has arrived, what shall we do?"
Albert held the Bluetooth headset with one hand, and the other hand was still aimed at Su Yifan and Neil.
"This is not the mentally retarded question you should ask, my friend." Albert said, "What do you think of him coming to us?" ”
"That's a good idea." Neo said coldly, "But I don't believe you. ”
"I don't believe you either." Albert now seemed calmer than Neo, "Why don't we meet and talk, maybe there is some way to resolve the differences." ”
Neo neither agreed nor refused: "Okay, what if I don't believe in the place you specified?" ”
"I won't believe you in the place you specified." Albert said calmly, "Come to me, I'm not ready to fight you head-on." ”
"You're someone who can call on HQ resources, snipers, blasting mines, heavy weapons, what's not to do?" Neo knew that Albert had come secretly alone, but he still wanted to say cool words, "Even if I am not afraid of death, I am afraid that I will die too unjustly." ”
"Then you don't have to come."
"Then our losses are very large." Of course, Neo disagrees with this statement, in his bones he values interests more than Albert, "If you don't act faster, Ivan may find another buyer." ”
"No one would believe a little mercenary who is not very famous." Albert is more certain of this than Neo, "Ivan has gotten the sweetness from you, and he definitely wants more." ”
Neo was silent for a moment, and after weighing the pros and cons in his heart, he said, "I'll go find you." ”
Albert was not surprised: "Come on. ”
Both sides are people who have strong self-confidence in themselves, and at the same time do not trust others.
Putting away the phone, Albert looked at Su Yifan and said, "You don't believe that Su Xiaoqing has fallen into our hands, just wait to meet her." ”
Neil almost wanted to find out what Albert wanted Su Yifan to wait for Su Xiaoqing to meet, this kind of thing of using two people who value each other to blackmail each other Albert is the best at it. Although this is not in line with the usual style of AUU, it is more like the ruthless style of the Military Intelligence Department.
Su Yifan's eyes are still stubborn, if he can stand up now, he will definitely fight Albert again desperately. It's a pity that the veteran spy has lost interest in fighting alone, he shot without fear and injured Su Yifan, presumably with the intention of making Su Xiao look down on him.
The psychological battle is also to be advanced layer by layer, Albert knows that Su Xiaoqing's heart is strong, I am afraid that in this world, apart from Su Yifan, there will be no other people and things that can make her face moved.
Compared with Albert's self-confidence, although Su Yifan is shaken, he is still insisting on his own views.
"It's impossible for Sister Qing to be caught by you, don't dream."
Neil, who was leaning next to Su Yifan, turned his head to look at the wound on his arm, and looked calmer: "What do you want to do with Su Xiaoqing?" ”
"If the company wants to cooperate, I will cooperate with the company." Albert was still hesitant to say about the questions he could answer, "Don't worry, Su Xiaoqing is more useful alive than dead." ”
"I don't care about that woman." Neil pouted, "The problem is that many people want Su Xiaoxiao to die, right?" If new energy enters the civilian level, it will be a devastating blow to the existing energy groups. ”
Albert said proudly: "So Su Xiaoqing should choose to cooperate with us, at least in this regard, we have the ability to ensure her safety and international status." The rich people in Arabia would never want to touch her. ”
Neil sneered: "yes, you made a move before they could do it. ”
Albert didn't react at all to Neil's sarcasm, and still said with a blank face: "Everyone wants something from Su Xiaoqing, and so do we." It doesn't make a difference who catches her, we just left her with no choice. ”
Neil looked at Albert and shook her head slowly.
"You don't know Su Xiaoqing well enough, I think you will be disappointed."
This level of language was no longer enough to move Albert, who still stood in front of the two of them, not moving.
"Let time tell, my little angel."
…………
…………
When Ivan received Neo's call, he was eating at a barbecue restaurant in Donglin City.
Barbecue restaurants are rarely open in the morning, and it is Ivan's skill to find one in an unfamiliar city.
In this world, only love and food cannot be disappointed - if this sentence is translated in a vulgar way, it probably means that there is nothing interesting in this world except for eating and eating.
Even though Hamza was dead, everyone still had to eat, and the more times like this, the more they had to eat heartily.
It's like every meal is the last meal.
It is not uncommon for a large group of eight-nation alliance-style foreigners to eat barbecue in Donglin City, even if there are a few foreigners in this group who are very good at Chinese. While serving a few people, the waiter glanced at the Rapunzel girl who was following the group of people, and thought that her face was so good-looking, but she couldn't see her eyes clearly with sunglasses. If those bright eyes don't disappoint, this must be a stunning beauty.
Such a beautiful girl always plays with foreigners, which makes the waiter, who thinks he is very handsome, feel a little lost in his heart, and then he hears the request of this group of foreigners to order.
Some people can't eat fennel, some people don't eat pork, and some people are allergic to seafood...... Even so, they ordered a table of various dishes, as if they were reincarnated by a starving ghost.
Aside from ordering food, there was very little talk between the squads. Even after a long journey, everyone still haunts last night's failure. Hamza is dead, and if Ivan refuses to give in, everyone will probably die. This kind of shadow hangs over everyone's heart, and everyone can't feel better.
On the way to Donglin, Ivan and Lei talked with gestures for a while, and the two discussed how to solve the problem of nanochips in their bodies. Lei told Ivan that only by relying on laser surgery, or higher-end physical fitness monitoring equipment, maybe he could solve these sharp blades hanging over everyone's heads without relying on Su Xiaoqing.
This answer disappointed Ivan, and he knew that Su Xiaoqing would definitely use these chips to closely monitor himself. Even if he goes to a place where the chip signal is blocked, Su Xiaoqing must have a way to find himself.
For that witch, Ivan has a new understanding, where she is worth 60 million dollars, she is worth at least 600 million.
While waiting for the meal, Ivan glanced at the tall girl sitting in the first place, he wanted to say something, but he felt that the atmosphere was very delicate, and it was meaningless to say anything.
Just as I believe that simplicity and brutality can clear the barriers of science and technology, in the face of absolute strength, all languages seem weak and powerless.
Receiving a call from Neo at the barbecue restaurant, Ivan marked the meeting place on the electronic map.
The girl kept silent, just lowered her head to eat, and didn't ask Ivan what to do next.
Instead, the other team members saw Ivan talking to Neo on the phone, slowed down their eating, and watched him put away the phone and look for a meeting place on the hand-held navigator.
Ivan also knew in his heart that it was useless to say anything now, it was better to be more realistic.
"Good luck to us." Ivan raised his glass, "Hope everything goes well and create our own ending." ”
This was the first time Ivan had said such unconfident words, and he himself felt ashamed.
But what is shame compared to survival?
After leading the team to eat and tidy up their equipment, Ivan and his party drove to the place designated by Neo.
In fact, the location that Neo set out was not the destination Albert had claimed.
Before meeting Albert, Neo planned to talk to Ivan first.
There are not many daytime cars in Donglin City, and the two large cars are a little eye-catching on the road, but Ivan doesn't care anymore.
Since Su Xiaoqing can settle the mess that Neo made in Binhai, it proves that her relationship with the official is not ordinarily good. This time it was so big that the local officials didn't make a move, I'm afraid it was Su Xiaoqing's meaning.
Ivan somewhat understood Su Xiaoqing's thoughts, she was planning to use her strength to show her muscles at one time, so that whether it was AUU or anyone else, she knew her weight.
For this kind of woman, Ivan regretted provoking a hundred times in his heart, but now it was too late to think about these things.
Neo chose to meet Ivan right next to a construction site on the outskirts of Donglin City.
Thanks to the economic downturn, it has been a few months since the overall shutdown of the capital chain and the flight of developers due to the rupture of the capital chain. The construction site, which was planned to start in April, was still empty by mid-July, but it was a good fit for Neo and Ivan to meet.
When Neo saw Ivan again, it was actually the second time he saw Ivan.
Prior to last night's operation, the two had been in contact countless times through video and encrypted online chat, and through many phone calls, but they had never met in person.
Dare to do tens of millions of business, on the one hand, because everyone is cautious, and on the other hand, it is also because they have trust in the third-party payment platform of international mercenaries.
It was an international trading platform similar to PayPal, which existed only in legend for most people and was relatively open to others. The ranking and competition under this platform are fierce, and Ivan has been working hard for so many years, and they are only at the top, which is not enough to be proud of the list.
Ivan hasn't met Neo either, a situation similar to the Texas cowboys who don't necessarily know about Washington's murderers. Neo is very famous, and there is also an official registration in the United States. But for Ivan, this world is still too big, and he only began to understand this person after coming into contact with Neo.
Seeing Neo again, Ivan felt more and more that this person was a little scary.
Neo still had a faint smile on his face, and there was an old man around him who looked more like a government official than an agent. The old man was dressed cleanly, with a cigar in his mouth, his hands in his pockets very casually, leaning against the car door and looking at him.
Compared to Neo, Ivan instinctively felt that this old man was more terrifying.
