Thanks to the high level of security provided by Caesaro, Albert had never been kidnapped or assaulted, so he could not understand Everett's feelings, but in the voice of his old friend, he could hear the helplessness and fear that he tried to suppress but could not hide.

In a previous phone call with Everett, he had mentioned that he had been kidnapped a few days earlier, but luckily the assailants had fled without harming him in the slightest. As for why the gangsters kidnapped him, and whether it may have been at the behest of someone else, Everett did not elaborate.

At that time, Albert also had confidence in the New York Police Department's ability to detect, believing that if a senior senator was kidnapped, the NYPD would definitely arrest the suspect and sentence him heavily. Little did he know that this frenzied gangster would dare to kidnap Everett again on the day of the fundraising dinner.

"New York's taxpayers' money is really going to feed a bunch of rice buckets." Albert, who has always been mild-tempered, was furious, and after cursing in his heart, he whispered into the phone: "If you have any requests, I will try my best to meet them, but please don't hurt him...... Believe me, no one can withstand the wrath of Congress. ”

If you are president, you can also be impeached and removed from power by Congress, which shows that Congress is angry enough to burn any provocateur to ashes, which is where the confidence of the parliamentarians and gentlemen lies, who are confident that no one will dare to use violence against members of Congress, so they often ignore private security.

Unfortunately, Everett was clearly running into a reckless madman, or a desperate outlaw, so Albert first spoke softly, expressing his willingness to do his best to meet the other party's demands, and then hinted at the consequences of hurting Everett, and implicitly threatened.

There is a slang saying in Albert's hometown: when negotiating with someone, the honey and knife in the hand must be placed in front of the other person's eyes.

This is the only negotiation skill in Albert's mind, after all, he has lived in the laboratory since he graduated from high school, and he has not dealt with other affairs since joining Caesaro to start a business together.

In fact, Albert felt more panicked in the safe house than Everett, who was actually kidnapped.

"Don't worry, as long as you are willing to cooperate, I guarantee that Mr. Charles will not be harmed in any way."

Albert's answer did not reassure Albert, because the voice did not fluctuate, like an emotionless machine, which made Albert aware of the other party's cold-bloodedness.

"I cooperate." Albert agreed without hesitation, but then hesitated.

Both in public and private, Albert should do his best to get Everett back safely.

But can satisfying the kidnappers' demands really bring Everett's safety? Isn't it the stupidest thing to believe in criminals?

Furthermore, who is the other party, and why does he have the guts and ability to kidnap Everett? You must know that after being kidnapped last time, Everett specially hired a security team.

Perhaps, what the other party wants is not a ransom, but the results of his research!

"Very good, I will give you an address, please be there within an hour." The other party paused for a moment, and his tone suddenly became fierce, "Dr. Amos, if you have the slightest chance and inform the police or your bodyguards about this matter, then I will immediately return Mr. Charles to his residence, piece by piece." ”

"I can't go alone!" Albert subconsciously looked at the door, "Listen, my bodyguards won't follow my orders, understand?" They won't let me out of their sight! ”

"I didn't ask you to come alone." There was a hint of banter in the kidnapper's tone, "Please hurry up, by the way, remember to turn off your mobile phone, so as not to be located by your company's headquarters, if I call your phone later and find that it is still in a reachable state, I will send you a package, as for whether you receive it with hands and feet or head, it depends on Mr. Charles's luck." ”

"Wait!" Albert shouted urgently, but the other party did not wait and hung up the phone.

The door opened from the outside in, and a large, chocolate-colored bald head poked in.

"Are you on the phone, doctor?" The bodyguard leader asked softly, the safe house was well insulated, and there were no bugs installed in the room, so he didn't know what was going on in the room.

Albert ignored him, stretched out his slightly trembling fingers and poked at the phone screen, and called his friend Everett, but as expected, it went directly to the voice mail box.

"Hell." Albert cursed under his breath that Everett's wife, a staunch Christian, was disgusted by his research, so Albert did not keep her contact information.

Albert didn't dare to risk Everett's life, he turned off his phone and shouted at the bodyguard: "I'm leaving the safe house, I'm going to a place, immediately!" ”

"We don't have the right to modify your itinerary, it's not in accordance with safety regulations." The bodyguard leader repeated the answer like a telephone answering machine.

"To hell with the safety regulations! I'm a member of the Caesaro Board of Directors! I'm your boss too! I repeat, I'm going to get out of the safe house immediately! You're in charge of escorting me! If you don't have the ability to protect me, why would Caesaro waste money on you! I promise you, if I don't get out of here within five minutes, I'll get you all fired! Do you understand! ”

Albert pointed to the door and yelled hysterically, venting his negative emotions with an explosion, but his threats did not have much effect, and the bodyguard leader still insisted on asking the higher authorities, who politely but unquestionably asked Albert the reason for the change in his itinerary.

Albert knew the virtues of these people, and in their eyes senior senators were just tools that could be bought with money, and if one was broken, he would buy another one, and Albert Amos was an irreplaceable and important asset, and he must not take risks lightly. Once they tell the truth, they will definitely call the police immediately!

So Albert decided to cut it first and then play it, insist on going out, and tell the truth when he arrived at the designated place.

Albert's insistence and resolute attitude finally relented, after all, anyone's position can change, and they do not want to be hated by a company director.

Meanwhile, inside the Jean-Georges restaurant, Everett's assistant hurried up to him.

"My private number was leaked, and look, I've been getting dozens of harassing calls in a row." Everett shows his assistant his phone, which is dominated by a barrage of missed calls.

"Madame also gets a lot of harassing phone calls, hang up one and call one, these rude bastards." The assistant smiled wryly, "Give me a moment, sir, and I'll find out." ”

"Maybe it's a telecom fraud, it really affects my mood, and I hope it won't happen again."

Everett waved his hand, turned and put the matter behind him, the dinner was about to begin, and he had too much to worry about to attend to such trivial matters.
