No.163 A new visit
"What's the matter, look at what I'm doing, Richmond Valentin is really very powerful, don't you know about his press conference today?"
Looking at the silent gaze of the two bigwigs, Eggsy shrugged his shoulders and snatched the tablet from Merlin's hand, tapping his fingers on it a few times, and a new image suddenly flashed on the big screen in the hospital room, attracting Merlin and Harry's attention.
In the picture, Valentine held a press conference earlier today at his telecommunications company, where he announced a news that shocked the world, and was also sent around the world with the live broadcast and broadcast of the news media.
To put it simply, everyone in the world can get a mobile phone SIM card of their own for free in Valentine's communication company, and at the same time use Valentine's communication business for free, free telephone, free network, shared by everyone, and permanently valid.
Such a national welfare treatment is almost far beyond ordinary people's understanding, because once this benefit is proposed, Valentine's communications company will be completely hostile and encircled by the communications industry - but he still did it, and no one knows why.
Merlin frowned, seemingly disgusted by Eggsie's snatching of his tablet, and snatched it back from Eggsie's hand, but before he could hold it steady, Harry next to him snatched it from Merlin's hand again.
In the organization of royal agents, Harry Hart, an agent who specializes in field work, is the superior of a logistics staff like Merlin, so Merlin has no way to resist at all, so he can only let Harry take his precious tablet.
Harry didn't pay attention to Merlin's expression, and replayed the video again.
The video stops at the beautiful assistant on the rostrum who is dressed in a decent suit and turns to applaud the departing Valentin when he finishes his speech and leaves, and focuses on the position behind the ear of the beautiful assistant.
The video taken by the mobile phone is not high in definition, but the electronic technology of the royal agent is not bad at all, through the refined processing of the picture pixels by intelligent AI, the three people present clearly saw an unclear scar behind the beautiful assistant's ear.
The scar was exactly like the scar from the operation behind Professor Arnold's ear.
What does this mean?
This suggests that the microchip that caused Professor Arnold's brain to explode was also embedded in the head of Valentine's female assistant.
And the signal that linked to the previous detonation of the microchip came from Valentine's communication company...... This matter has a very, very close connection with Richmond Valentine, an internationally renowned commercial film director and the corporate owner of Valentine Communications.
"I think maybe it's time for a one-on-one meeting with this Mr. Valentin."
Looking at the indistinct surgical marks behind Valentine's beautiful assistant's ear, Harry spoke slowly, the expression on his face indescribably calm.
"Valentine has a private dinner in two days, and I'll try to get you an invitation, but be careful, while you're unconscious, more than 100 celebrities have disappeared, and there are no blackmail letters, just like Professor Arnold."
Merlin, who has been working as a royal secret agent for many years, is not stupid, and after seeing the scars behind the ears of Professor Arnold and his female assistant, Merlin naturally realized that Richmond Valentin was problematic, and then he was more reminded of people who disappeared like Professor Arnold.
He knew that Harry was going to go single-handedly to meet the great director for a while, so Merlin nodded lightly, and then reminded him loudly.
"Very well, then I suggest you help me forge an identity worthy of being kidnapped."
Merlin was quick to act, and the night after the conversation, he had prepared a new identity for Harry as a traditional British real estate merchant, and forged many traces around this identity to ensure that no one noticed the problem.
In order to have access to Richmond Valentine, Merlin donated $20 million to Valentine's private equity foundation under the identity of Harry's fake businessman, which was not much, but it was enough to buy a dinner with Richmond Valentine.
The next day, at six o'clock in the evening, a black Cadillac stopped in front of Valentine's private mansion on the waterfront in Los Angeles.
The door opened, and a well-cut black gentleman with a black bow tie and a pair of tortoiseshell glasses on the bridge of his nose walked out of the car, Harry Hart in a dinner attire.
"Welcome—welcome to the Humble House, Mr. DeVille, it's a pleasure to meet you."
The door of the villa slowly opened, and Valentine, dressed in light hip-hop clothes and wearing a baseball cap, appeared in the entrance.
The moment he saw the Mr. DeVille who appeared outside the gate of his villa, a very bright smile bloomed on Valentine's face, and the "Mr. Deville" in front of him may not know that Valentine had actually seen him once, and he still remembered it vividly.
The chip in Professor Arnold's brain and the tiny camera device implanted in his eye were originally used to monitor Professor Arnold's every move, to ensure that Professor Arnold would not suddenly disappear, or to report Valentine's incident to the police.
But Valentine didn't expect that he would be approached after he released Professor Arnold back to London.
The man who appeared before Professor Arnold said that his colleague had died while rescuing Professor Arnold, and that the situation was so intense that Valentin wanted to find out who had kidnapped Professor Arnold and why he had let him go.
In order to hide the truth, Valentin had no choice but to detonate the chip in Professor Arnold's brain, and similarly, through Professor Arnold's eyes, Valentin also remembered the Englishman who appeared in front of Professor Arnold.
Until the other party pretended to be a British real estate investment billionaire, under the pseudonym "Deville", and reappeared in front of Valentine.
"I'm sorry to visit, I think I misremembered the day of the dinner."
Unaware that his identity had been revealed, Harry entered his role according to the predetermined lines.
"Nothing, don't worry, I've been visited these two days, I'm used to having dinner with people, and last night a very interesting young man came, and we had a good conversation, so don't worry, Mr. Deville, please come in."
Valentine said with a smile, opened the door, got out of the way, and invited the "Deville" into his house.
