With a small thud, the pact burrowed into Everett's ear canal, a stinging pain that awakened his consciousness from the darkness, but it was still dark in the eyes.

For a moment, Everett thought he was still in a dream, because he couldn't see anything, he couldn't hear anything, and after trying to move his limbs and failing, Everett was convinced that he had really been kidnapped, and that the other party had obviously come not on the spur of the moment, but on the spur of the moment.

Although Everett has no experience in criminal investigation, it can be inferred from his state at this time that the kidnappers are quite "professional".

Judging by the touch coming from the skin, the eyes can't see because they're blind, but because the thick blackout blindfold covers all the light, and the inability to hear is not because of the loss of hearing, but because they're wearing sleep earplugs or sound-isolating earmuffs.

As a result, Everett is unable to tell where he is from his surroundings and sounds, and even if he has the opportunity to ask for help, he is unable to provide accurate location information.

"Hello, Mr. Charles."

An emotionless, undulating voice came from the headphones into Everett's ears, and the other party spoke American English, but the accent was indistinct, and it felt like a robot synthesizer from a vulgar sci-fi movie.

"Hello."

Everett responded simply, then fell silent, not asking stupid questions like "who are you," "do you know who I am," "why did you kidnap me," or begging for mercy or swearing in a panic — something no qualified senator would do after being kidnapped.

It's not that being a senator can ignore knife and gun damage, it's just that Everett has a confidence that ordinary people don't have.

Only reckless people who don't think with their brains would dare to break the rules of the political game and brazenly attack or kidnap a senior senator in the United States.

While this or this gang of kidnappers behaved professionally, Everett was confident they would not be a match for the federal police.

The disappearance of a senator is no small matter, and it won't be long before the Capitol Police, the D.C. Police Department, and the New York Police Department will be in action, and they will certainly ensure Everett's personal safety, even if it is a police officer who advocates violence and thinks that assault is more effective than negotiation, will not compare the personal safety of Mr. Senator to that of ordinary people.

Seeing that Everett was silent, Fang Ziyu turned his head and asked Jiang Lan with his eyes.

"Ignore him." Jiang Lan shook his head, "He can't see anything now, he can't hear anything, he will feel that time flies very slowly, it is very difficult, and if he can't stand it, he will naturally speak." We don't have any direction at all, and instead of blindly asking questions, it is better to let him speak on his own. Come on, let's play a game of chess, and when this game of chess is finished, it is estimated that it will be about the same. ”

After speaking, Jiang Lan actually took out a pair of Chinese chess pieces that he also didn't know where to conjure, and began to place the chess pieces of both sides. Beside the two of them, Tangerine vigilantly guarded the surroundings, while Liuyun stood by Jiang Lan's laptop, waiting for Everett to speak. Fang Ziyu's English scores are mediocre, and his oral listening is even weaker, and he communicates without barriers, but fortunately, there are smart pets that can act as translators.

"Sir, gentlemen."

Before Fang Ziyu launched the first round of attacks, Everett couldn't help but speak, it seemed that Jiang Lan had overestimated his patience.

"If you know my name, you should know who I am. I don't think anyone would risk kidnapping a senator for no reason, which is a felony. Can you tell me about your purpose and needs? It's good for both of us, because I don't want to get hurt and you want to be able to get there as soon as possible, don't you? ”

Fang Ziyu was about to speak, but Jiang Lan immediately made a silent gesture.

"Dry for a while." Jiang Lan smiled evilly, "He hasn't panicked yet." ”

Indeed, Everett was so calm that it was impossible to determine whether what he was saying was true or false unless he broke his psychological defenses.

"There are still three steps left to generalize your army, and you are about to lose." Fang Ziyu changed his defense to attack, raised his only remaining cannon, pushed it to the Chu River and Han realm, and restrained Jiang Lan's two main forces at the same time.

Chess is a chess and card game, and in the field of games, Fang Ziyu believes that he will not lose to Jiang Lan.

"Hmm." Jiang Lan held his chin and frowned in contemplation.

He was hesitant because he couldn't see a chance to turn defeat into victory.

"If you have political aspirations, then I have to say that this approach is counterproductive."

Everett spoke again, and he began to feel agitated and restless.

"But I promise that I will seriously consider any of your requests and do my best to accommodate them. If what you want is ransom, there is no point in kidnapping me, my salary is not low, but I don't have much savings, and my family will definitely call the police, I don't think it's good for me or for you. ”

"Well, let me contact my good friend, Dr. Albert Amos, who I trust will be willing to pay a satisfactory ransom for me. Believe me, I just want to be free again, and for my safety and my family's safety, I'm not going to play tricks. ”

"OK, he's panicking." Jiang Lan pushed the chess pieces on the chessboard with lightning speed, suddenly got up, and said urgently, "Liuyun, ask him who Albert Amos is?" ”

………………

"Albert Amos?" Ouyang Jie repeated the name he heard twice, and it took him a lot of effort to suppress the ecstasy in his heart and speak at a normal volume.

"Yes, Albert Amos, one of the founders of Caesaro." Luo Jinyu's voice came out of the headphones, making Ouyang Jie's heart flutter.

"Caesaro?" Ouyang Jie was even more puzzled, he had never heard of this name.

"Caesaro has been established for less than 20 years, but it has grown rapidly, with more than 50,000 employees and 142 branches, and its four industrial pillars of polymer, medicine and health care, agriculture and chemical industry have great development potential."

Speaking of Caesaro Company, Luo Jinyu is like a treasure.

"Five years ago, Caesaro announced the launch of a microbiopharmaceutical innovation project, with a team led by Albert Amos conducting research in an underground laboratory building. Two years ago, Bailey Oldman, then CEO of Caesaro, publicly stated at a press conference that the Albert Amos team had made a breakthrough and that its results were about to cause upheaval in the pharmaceutical industry. ”

Less than a week after the press conference, the Board of Directors of Caesaro decided to fire CEO Bailey Oldman, who was also the founder of the company. Three days later, Bailey Oldman disappeared, and it was rumored that Bailey Oldman had been killed, but the body was completely destroyed, and the police have not closed the case so far. ”

Hearing this, Ouyang Jie couldn't help but ask, "What does this have to do with the assassination of Everett Charles?" ”

"On the day of Everett Charles's assassination, Albert Amos was also assassinated, and Caesaro's stock price plummeted!" Luo Jinyu said hurriedly, "It's no coincidence that you let Everett Charles survive and also postpone Albert Amos's death again and again!" Originally, I was supposed to let Fang Ziyu deliver the news on my behalf, but I was worried that he would guess our Zeus artifact from this, I mean, our god list, so I took the risk to contact you. Ouyang, check the Caesaro company, check carefully! ”
