Chapter 344, Conspiracy (4)
"That woman really has some skills." Morgan thought as he looked at the information in his hand. Because he had known for a long time that there was such a conspiracy against Scrooge, Morgan naturally wanted to let his men keep an eye on this woman. Morgan did not want to be directly involved in the woman's actions. Because although the black water in Scrooge's hands doesn't seem to be aware of this conspiracy yet, once those guys start to act, no matter what success or failure, the MacDonald consortium will definitely retaliate. Even if Scrooge dies, the MacDonald consortium is doomed to be ruined with it, but the counterattack of this behemoth when he is dying is by no means something that any force can withstand lightly.
But Morgan is still very much looking forward to what these guys are doing. Once they do succeed, as long as they do not become a direct target of the dying MacDonald consortium, then by the time the McDonald consortium collapses, Morgan is sure that no one in the United States will be able to get a greater share of the benefits than him.
Of course, to get the timing right, you have to have a certain understanding of the actions of those guys. So after deliberately mentioning Stanford to the woman, Morgan made people stare at Stanford, and soon he got the news that the woman had visited Stanford, and then he learned that the man who had gone with the woman to visit Stanford became a reporter for the Courier newspaper and began to interview about the McDonald Consortium's mid-level training course.
"The McDonald Consortium's mid-level training course is not open to journalists, and only employees can participate. Similarly, when Scrooge addressed all the students, there was no reporter to interview. And even if Scrooge were to change the rules, it would be impossible for a local media of the Courier's calibre to be qualified to cover it. Therefore, if they want to use this opportunity to launch an assassination operation, it is estimated that they can only buy the trainees of the middle-level training class. Well, what kind of means would they use to bribe that student to be an assassin? And what kind of method will be used to carry out the assassination? Morgan thought with interest.
"Pistols are unlikely." Morgan thought, "The first is that it's easy to get caught with a pistol, and the second is that it takes a certain amount of skill to attack with a pistol, and if it's a little farther away, the inexperienced guys can shoot a bullet into the Atlantic." But the most important thing is that the employees who have been bought will never want to play any suicide attacks. Attack with a pistol, even if it is successful, you will definitely not be able to escape. So the pistol can basically be ruled out. So what else can be used? Ah, that woman belongs to the DuPont. Didn't the DuPont family be bombed in the first place? A timed explosive device may be more reasonable to choose. But there's still a lot of problems with using something like this......"
However, this specific technical detail is not something that Morgan needs to care too much about, so he only thought about it a little and did not continue to study.
……
"How's the contact with that Arnold?" Avery asked.
"I know a little bit about his family. He doesn't have a wife, and naturally he doesn't have children. His mom is said to have been dead for years, and dad seems to have run away with another woman earlier - what a mess. I had him stalked, only to find out that Arnold was probably not the ambitious guy you thought he was. Although he doesn't have a wife, he has a good match. Brontë said.
"A good one?" Avery asked, "What kind of person is it?" ”
"A prostitute who is so sick that she can't even do business. Female only. Arnold seems to be completely captivated by this bitch, though. This kid's life is very simple, and all the money is used to treat that bitch. However, those diseases are not curable, especially now that sulfonamides are becoming less and less effective, and that bitch is getting more and more sick. Brontë said.
"I didn't expect such a bloody thing to happen in reality." Ellie snorted coldly.
"Eli, this man is in need of money. And we can also control that woman and coerce her to give us his life. Brontë said.
"Are you sure he won't sell us? Is that woman really that important to him? Ellie asked.
"I don't think so. He had been raising the woman and treating her for more than three years. Not to mention that all his money is spent, we know that it is very troublesome and even dangerous to take care of a woman with this kind of disease. If you don't do it well, you'll put yourself in it. Being able to take care of that woman like this for several years, this woman's status in his heart should not be generally comparable. I think that as long as we control the woman on the one hand, and tempt him with money on the other, he will most likely agree to work for us. ”
"Hearing you say that, it's worth a try. But don't come forward. I'll arrange for someone else to talk to him. You continue to work as a journalist, observing his every move. Avery said.
……
At the end of the day, Arnold left the company and went back to his home in the slum by himself. With Arnold's salary, there would have been no need to live in such a place. However, it cost too much money to treat Lisa. And when I met Lisa, her illness was already too serious, and sulfonamides had almost no effect on her illness. In fact, even in later generations, May. poison, especially late plum. Poison is also very difficult to cure. Before the absence of antibiotics, for late prunes. Poison, in this world is completely nothing effective drugs.
Arnold returned to his hut and immediately began to make two servings of food, one for himself and one for Lisa with a small piece of butter, and a glass of milk. After eating his share in two bites, and then packing Lisa's one, Arnold went out the door.
Lisa is now in a charity hospital, and thanks to Scrooge, the conditions of the current hospital, including the so-called charity hospital, have improved. In any case, San Francisco's charity hospitals are not as good as ordinary hospitals. It's just that the fees of ordinary hospitals are not something Arnold can afford.
Arnold had already made a deal with the hospital, and he made a one-time donation to the hospital, which promised to take good care of Lisa while he was studying in Cleveland. By the time he was done, he would probably be able to get a better, higher-paying position, and then he would be able to send Lisa to a better place. Although, no matter how good the conditions are, most of them will not be able to cure this disease.
Unexpectedly, when Arnold arrives at the hospital, he discovers that Lisa is missing.
"An hour ago, two people came over and said it was Lisa's relative and picked her up." Although Arnold's eyes were red in a hurry, the nurse looked indifferent.
"Where did Lisa come from? Lisa has no relatives at all! Arnold was a little anxious, "Why don't you verify your identity and let the family take the patient away?" ”
"We're not a police station, so how can we verify people's identities? Besides, when those two people took away who it was, didn't she not object? ”
Arnold was so anxious that he almost wanted to smack the nurse in the face. Lisa is the third phase of the plum. Poison, germs have begun to attack the nervous system, so at this time Lisa has already developed symptoms of dementia, how can she tell who it is, how can she oppose it?
"Did those people say anything else?" Arnold asked, suppressing his anger.
"No, I don't. Nothing. The nurse replied.
……
It was almost midnight when Arnold returned home dejected. The door was not locked, and with a gentle push, it opened. Arnold had locked the door before going out, but now that Arnold had lost his soul, he didn't notice it. It wasn't until he walked into the house that he realized that there were actually two people in the house.
"Who are you?" Arnold said stunned.
"Do you want to know Lisa's whereabouts?" One person said.
"You guys? You guys take her? ”
"She's fine, as for whether she will be better in the future, it's up to you," said another.
At this time, Arnold also calmed down, and he knew that Lisa must have fallen into the hands of these people. And the reason why these people want to control Lisa is definitely to use her to blackmail themselves. It's just that he is just a small clerk with no money and no power, and these people find themselves why.
……
"That Arnold won and cooperated with us?"
"Yes, miss." Brontë said.
"Good," said Eli, "leaving a few men to keep an eye on him." We went to Chicago to summarize the information and preparations with the brothers there, and discussed the final plan. ”
"I don't know how the technical team is preparing." Brontë said.
"There shouldn't be any problems. Isn't it just to make a decision. Time. Explode. Bounce? ”
……
Cleveland, McDonald Consortium Employee Training Center, Great Hall.
Several workers are tearing down the doors of the auditorium.
"Hey, George, why are you going to tear down the gate?" A passing employee asked George, a worker who was tearing down the gate.
"How do I know?" George said, "Anyway, we'll do whatever the top up tells us to do." ”
"I heard it was because the custom-made podium was too wide to fit through the door." One guy interjected.
"So big?"
"Of course, I heard that it is made of Brazilian mahogany, and the whole table top is a large piece of wood, which is said to be more than a foot and a half thick. I've seen it from afar, and it's beautiful. It is said to be intended for Mr. MacDonald to speak. If you want me to say, it's great to have money! ”
