Chapter 453: Persistence
I don't know what kind of heart it is, Lu Li always has an inexplicable curiosity about high-IQ crimes, so much so that he subconsciously ignores that crimes are crimes, whether it is a well-planned kidnapping, robbery, or a petty theft without technical content, it is an act that seriously disrupts social order. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He once admired the clown played by Heath Ledger and was deeply struck by the sheer wickedness and chaos.
He also applauded the whimsical imagination of several criminals in reality, vacuuming a French supermarket about $800,000 in cash, and to this day, the police have not been able to find out who did it.
Maybe in his bones, he is a guy who likes to chase excitement and challenge order and authority.
But fortunately, he was born in the Celestial Empire, where the social order was relatively stable, and received more than twenty years of ideological indoctrination that stability is greater than everything else, and even if he has certain impulses, he will be quickly suppressed by reason.
But today, Lu Li finally couldn't resist the curiosity hidden in his heart, and desperately wanted to find out how the other party planned the entire kidnapping process, so that a person like himself, who had powerful supernatural powers, accidentally fell for it.
Of course, there is another point, that is, he never took the kidnapping to heart, and even secretly thanked the robbers for making him completely recognize Arthur Batesson's true face, and with the help of the military, he would definitely have all kinds of troubles in the future.
"Oh God...... What did we do...... Johnny, this bastard, was absolutely lazy when he investigated......" Maya muttered to herself with trembling lips.
In fact, it wasn't just her lips that trembled, to be exact, her whole body trembled, and her eyes revealed boundless fear.
"No, believe me, he's not lazy, it's just that there are some unexpected situations that exceed everyone's expectations. Lu Li took the initiative to say a word to the old man who was inexplicably carrying the black cauldron.
"Emergency?!" Maya keenly grasped the keyword, trying to figure out why the military had suddenly decided to monitor a stranger in real time.
Lu Li smiled and nodded: "Yes, emergencies, don't say it's you, even I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to enjoy such treatment." The bigwigs of the Ministry of Defense don't know where they heard that I have a special material on hand that can completely shield the detection of advanced instruments such as X-rays, infrared, and electromagnetic waves. They thought it could be used in the military, so they monitored me from all angles. According to my estimate, the surveillance should have started in the afternoon, and you should have completed your background check by then, right?"
Maya shuddered violently and asked in shock, "You...... You're a defense supplier?!!!"
She can't be blamed for all the fuss, but in the United States, defense suppliers and ordinary businesses are completely different concepts.
For the government, the former is nothing more than a guarantee of fiscal revenue, but the latter does involve military secrets and national security, and every move will arouse the vigilance and concern of the intelligence department.
If any idiot who eats the heart of a bear and a leopard dares to attack a defense supplier, then 100% will attract terrible retaliation, and the people involved will not even have a normal judicial process, and will directly disappear from the world, as for where they have gone, what kind of torture will be subjected to extract confessions, just look at the videos of prisons outside the United States disclosed by WikiLeaks.
You must know that the reason why these prisons are set up outside the country is to avoid various human rights protection laws in the United States, and the people who can come out intact after entering are even rarer than giant pandas.
Staring at the mixed-race beauty's pupils that contracted due to strong stimulation, Lu Li sighed helplessly and explained: "Strictly speaking, I was just forced to make a deal against my will under pressure, and I am not a defense supplier. However, those bigwigs seem to be afraid of irrational behaviors such as my sudden runaway, so they add insurance. Unfortunately, your actions hit the muzzle of the gun. β
"What do you mean?" asked Maya, forced her composure.
She felt more and more that the man in front of her, who was originally characterized as harmless as a human animal, had too many secrets hidden, first the dark-skinned girl who could emit a strange purple flame, and then she was involved with the military.
If you had known about these situations and had been cautious with the team leader's cautious style, you would never have chosen to get involved.
In fact, the reason why they dare to do it is that on the one hand, the price offered by the "customer" is really high, and on the other hand, they take a fancy to the identity of Lu Lihua.
After all, I don't know what kind of consideration, Jamie Dimon has not announced so far that JPMorgan Chase Bank has completed the financing of Alibis Biotech, so the outside world does not know about this matter at all.
In the eyes of many criminals, Lu Li is limited to a wealthy foreign newcomer who has neither the asylum nor background of a politician, and is a good target.
Lu Li didn't know that he was an out-and-out fat sheep in the eyes of many people, and shrugged his shoulders innocently: "As I mentioned just now, I am a staunch anti-war activist, and I didn't want to have anything to do with the military at all, especially I didn't want to become a defense supplier and let myself become an accomplice to the executioner." However, it is a pity that my insistence in the face of power is not even resistance, and I can only package and sell the main technology and raw materials to the military, and only provide limited supplements. β
"What?!Gave up being a defense supplier?Just for that ridiculous anti-war sentiment? Do you really understand what it means to be a defense supplier?" Maya couldn't hold back, and shouted out in a broken voice.
"Of course! That means being part of a huge military-industrial complex! It means making a lot of money from the Department of Defense easily.
But don't forget, more than 80 percent of all the wars in the world are waged by the United States and its NATO allies, and millions of civilians have died.
Wouldn't there be a sense of guilt when you hold such money in your hands?
I love money, but I don't want to sell my soul for it. β
Lu Li no longer remembered how many times this was the first time he had explained his views on war to others, but it would never be the last.
He knows very well that as long as there is a conflict of interest in the world, the dangerous game of war will never disappear one day, and the only thing he can do is to manage himself and not get involved as much as possible.
Maya opened her mouth wide in surprise and stared at Lu Li's eyes, as if to confirm whether he was lying, and it took five minutes before she laughed wildly and shouted, "Hahahaha! Oh my God! You are really the stupidest and most naΓ―ve person I have ever met in my life! You are not suitable to be a businessman at all! Maybe a pastor or a philanthropist is where you belong!"
