Chapter Ninety-Eight: Peeling Back the Cocoon (Part II)

Listening to Gu Weisu's question, Gui Maochao pondered for a moment before slowly shaking his head: "Judging by the information I usually gather, Franklin. There should be no professional soldiers around Benson. Just ten months ago, in a battle for the right to operate a casino on a street, Franklin. Benson and two other members of the warlord's perimeter fought for two weeks before they managed to win the right to run the casino on that street. If he really had such elite professional soldiers around him to rely on, he could have done it quickly - every day of delay would be a huge financial loss for any casino operator, Franklin. Benson isn't that generous? ”

Glancing at each other, Gu Weisu and Bao Lei, who were standing in front of the huge screen, turned around and sat back in their chairs. Pan Guan frowned at this time and muttered: "Is this considered a soldier or not...... Don't use it? ”

Reaching out and pinching the bridge of his nose, Tang Guoming closed his eyes slightly and shook his head: "I think it's very likely to be Franklin. When Benson started his business, some of the big people behind him provided him with enough economic and armed forces to support his start-up, but after he started, some things were Franklin at all. Benson's private work, so he can only use the rabble he found to fight with people! In a way, Franklin. Benson is a maid with a key - the house is not in charge! ”

Nodding approvingly, Gu Weisu said in response: "Judging from this point, Franklin. Benson kidnaps Chinese for ransom, will it be a private job or ...... The person behind him opened his mouth? ”

Still slightly closed his eyes, Tang Guoming said in a low voice: "The game between big countries or big people has always been to turn over the rivers and seas at every turn, and the little profits are not made at all!" In this sense, Franklin. Benson is doing a private job! ”

Obviously relieved, a smile involuntarily appeared on Gui Maochao's face: "If those elite professional soldiers didn't intervene in this matter, would it be easier to rescue these Chinese hostages?" ”

Gently patting the various weapons and equipment placed on the weapon rack on his side, Pan Guan's face also had a smile on his face: "The original difficulty coefficient may be 10, but now....... 9.5, right? ”

Just blink of an eye, Gui Maochao, who already had a slightly stunned look on his face, already understood the meaning of Pan Guan's words: "This is also - the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, no matter what, Franklin. Benson is also a force that has been operating on the Tawi Peninsula for so many years, and ordinary people really can't do anything about him. Especially since the hostage is still in his hands, under the premise of throwing a rat trap, he is still embarrassed......"

Slowly opening his eyes, Tang Guoming stared at the split display Franklin. Benson's photo, the tip of his eyebrows suddenly moved: "What about this guy's sphere of influence, entry and exit rules, and range of activities?" ”

Quickly sending a map of the Tawi Peninsula to a huge display, Gui Maochao replied, "Franklin. Benson has six casinos, four brothels, twelve drug-distributing streets, and a dozen bars and restaurants of various sizes, but most of them are selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, not a serious place, just a window for him to distribute drugs. ”

Taking a slight breath, Gui Maochao tapped on his keyboard and superimposed several path maps marked with red lines on the huge map of the Tawi Peninsula urban area: "Franklin. Benson had been ambushed and assassinated dozens of times, and a few of them had come close to success, so the guy was extremely careful when he came and went, without any time pattern for entering and leaving, and almost only on these streets, and each time he was escorted by a large number of armed men. It's the same with the accommodations, where he is said to never stay in the same place for two nights, so it's hard to figure out exactly where he stays - the few places I've marked are just a few places where he might stay. ”

Twisting his brows, Harbara snorted heavily: "The frightened bird has three holes of cunning rabbits? This guy is really sorry for his life! ”

Looking up at Tang Guoming, Gui Maochao hesitated slightly, before slowly shaking his head towards Tang Guoming: "I know that your military experts are good at decapitation operations, but it is really not easy to kill this guy - at least it is difficult to find him!" ”

After bowing his head and thinking for a moment, Tang Guoming looked at Gui Maochao, who was staring at him: "Since you can't find him, let's find a way to let him come to us!" What is the ransom amount that this guy is proposing? Has the news started to spread domestically? ”

After tapping the keyboard a few times, Gui Maochao quickly responded: "Franklin. Benson has not yet proposed the amount of the ransom, but judging by similar events in the past, it is estimated that the actual ransom price that each person will eventually pay will be between two million and one million dollars. There has been no corresponding news feedback in China, so I judge that those kidnapped Chinese hostages have not yet called their relatives in China? ”

"How many hostages have been kidnapped?"

"The four people are all legitimate businessmen who do foreign trade business, and their hometowns are all ...... Wenzhou, Zhejiang"

Listening to Gui Maochao tell all the identity and background information of the kidnapped hostages, Tang Guoming waited until Gui Maochao's words fell, and then turned his head to look at Halbara who was sitting on the side: "Integrate all the weapons and equipment here, to what extent can we be armed?" ”

Looking around at the weapons and equipment around him and several huge weapon magic transformation platforms, Halbara replied confidently: "Enough for a small-scale, high-intensity street fight, but the means of transportation are ......"

Seeing that Halbara set his eyes on him, Gui Mao stood up neatly and grabbed a bunch of car keys from a desk drawer beside him: "There is also an underground parking lot outside the hall, with a total of six entrances and exits, all of which are very secret. You can use the car in the underground parking lot, but I don't recommend that you use a car that is too conspicuous. After all, this is the urban area of the Tawi Peninsula, and the streets are full of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, and it is easy to ...... too conspicuous cars."

His eyes lit up, and Halbara suddenly came to his senses: "It looks like you have enough good goods here?" ”

Nodding very smugly, Gui Maochao replied calmly: "You also know that there is a black market for weapons and equipment in the urban area of the Tawi Peninsula, so all kinds of semi-military and quasi-military vehicles also pop up from time to time, and some second-hand cars are so cheap that they have become cabbage prices, so I also got some." ”

Reaching out and grabbing the large set of car keys handed over by Gui Maochao, Halbara whispered excitedly: "Austria's 'Climber' global terrain vehicle, Germany's 'jungle walk' high-horsepower off-road vehicle, and ...... You actually have a Soviet 'battalion commander' assault vehicle here? This thing is a standard military car, and in the eyes of car fans all over the world, it is a good thing that has money and nowhere to buy, and you actually saved one? Aren't you afraid of attracting attention? ”

Very embarrassed and chuckling, Gui Maochao replied, "Actually...... I also had a fun car, and when I saw such a car, I couldn't hold back it, so I ...... It's a fake public and private interest. But I've never driven this car out before, and I can only spend my time in the underground garage! ”

Standing up suddenly, Tang Guoming turned his head to look at the dazzling weapons and equipment on the weapon rack on his side: "Bring all the necessary guys, let's drive this car out for a walk!" ”
