A cartload of fake gold was like a domino being pushed on, triggering a flurry of reactions.

Anna could never have imagined that Yuri had made such a careful plan, and the goal turned out to be fake.

No one could have imagined that Boss Joe had already given away the gold, and even the media labeled their pair of 'gold thieves' as scaring Robin Hood.

Because if it weren't for them, the whole world wouldn't know that the gold that came out of the New York Gold Exchange was fake.

When the thieves' actions were justified, the busy shredded cops and the FBI had no heart to hunt them down.

It doesn't matter what the logic of the 'thieves' is, it's how to solve the consequences of their actions.

After all, what if they are caught?

It was just a robbery where no one died, and even when the gold was proven to be fake, then the charge of 'intent to rob the gold' was not established under the law.

Experienced agents suspect that the 'Grand Thief' had known that the gold was fake before the operation.

It could have been a premeditated exposure attack, but so what?

Everyone is already busy to death, and with the intervention of various bigwigs, the case begins to shift to the political level.

Lahiri was caught off guard by this blow, because the Shah's intelligence service faced such a huge loss and deception, they rushed to the police station to report that it was a serious fraud related to Lahiri.

The most unfortunate thing is that the gold was not lost but was revealed to be fake, and now even the insurance company will not pay for it.

And these insurance companies began to band together, requiring major banks to clear their coffers, and greatly increased premiums.

The Federal Reserve's vault issued a statement overnight, and said that the Fed's underground vault could be opened, inviting people from all walks of life to visit the more than 8,000 tons of gold.

The NYSE vault checked itself and found no problems, and then the finger was pointed at Haliburton, which was in charge of the escort.

It's no longer a question of whether Haliburton is wronged or not, and as the FBI vows to get to the bottom of the matter, the pressure on Lahiri's side is starting to grow......

Because the procedures for the delivery of the gold are flawed......

The gold did belong to the Shah, but it was Rashiri who helped the Shah's men bypass the custody and have them secretly take the gold.

Once this hard currency enters the market, it cannot be traced, and it is well known that there are some people in Shah Nai who are linked to the extremist XN faction.

20 tons of gold is converted into untraceable funds, which makes the old United States, which has always been very strict with its allies, how can it accept?

'Free'?

Inexistent!

If you listen to me, then you will be free, otherwise you will have human rights problems, corruption problems, and institutional structure problems......

Once what Lahiri did was found out, and then linked to the previous Shah's gold offering, then she would be in big trouble.

If you want to quell the incident quickly, you have to let the people of Haliburton carry this pot on their backs, and at the same time, someone needs to fill in the hole.

Because once the credit of the New York Stock Exchange is questioned, it will trigger a series of chain reactions.

Less than half a day after the news was released, the world's major central banks began to unite to pressure the payment of gold.

The Fed has suffered an unprecedented run on gold, and if it fails to solve this problem, the Fed's credibility will be gone.

The Fed is more important than a white house, and it doesn't matter if you slap the president in the face, but you can't shake the Fed's position.

20 tons of gold, about $900 million.

The chairman of Haliburton is a former vice president, but that's useless, as a military contracting company with heavy asset investment, you can't get so much money even if you sell Haliburton.

Expecting those directors with a lot of energy to pay out of their own pockets to fill the hole is simply overthinking.

So who's going to fill the hole?

Joga didn't know, and he couldn't care if he did, he just knew that the board of directors of Haliburton was basically there.

Most people would never have imagined that the office of a military contracting company like Haliburton was actually located in a six-story office building on Financial Street.

More than a dozen bigwigs with heads and faces traveled from all over the world to New York for meetings by various means of transportation.

At this time, Boss Qiao was driving an electric maintenance vehicle alone and slowly drove into the financial street.

At 3 a.m., Financial Street was quiet, with more than a dozen luxury cars parked in front of the Haliburton company, and dozens of black-suited security guards guarding the company's door......

Qiao Gada graciously parked the power maintenance vehicle under a extinguished street lamp on the side of the office building.

Then he tidied up the work clothes on his body, put on a peaked cap and got out of the car and kicked the street lamp, and then raised his middle finger at a group of security guards who came from a distance and scolded: "Are you people idiots, are you complaining about the street lights in the middle of the night?"

Those bitches just don't want us to be comfortable, do they? ”

Several security guards who wanted to come over to check on each other glanced at each other, then shrugged their shoulders and returned to their positions.

They didn't know what had happened to Haliburton, but they did know that some of the directors who were in the meeting did like to toss people.

And the duty of the security guards is to prevent strangers from breaking into their area of responsibility, and it is clear that the streets and the surrounding areas of Financial Street are not under their control.

Under the strange behavior of several security guards, Qiao Jia picked up a large toolbox from the car, and climbed onto the elevator bucket of the car while swearing, and then seemed to forget something, he got out of the car while swearing, and picked up his mobile phone and began to dial ......

Then he seemed to have touched some switch by mistake, and the bucket began to rise.

Joga, who was on the phone, was very irritable, and it seemed that he was in a state of collapse due to late night overtime and all kinds of unhappiness, and he kicked the car door a few times, so that the attention of the security guard dozens of meters away focused on him......

Then he yelled into the phone "We're divorced, I'm not an ATM, why should I pay for your breast augmentation expenses?" Will you show me after fucking breast augmentation? ”

The anxiety and irritability of this typical European and American divorced man made those security guards look at each other, and even cast sympathetic glances at Boss Qiao's back.

But no one noticed that the elevator of the electric maintenance truck rose to the window of the conference room on the third floor.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows are blocked by curtains, so that those inside cannot see what is going on outside.

Some of those security guards were attracted by Boss Joe's attention.

When Boss Qiao turned into an alley and ran wildly for dozens of meters, the elevator bucket of the electric maintenance truck suddenly exploded violently......

'Boom~'

After a flash of orange highlights, a huge cloud of black smoke rose from the financial street.

It's not like in the movie where an explosion causes a fire or something like that.

The huge explosion that occurred in an instant shattered the windows of the surrounding buildings, and the alarms of vehicles within a radius of several hundred meters began to sound at the same time.

The shaped explosion part of the torpedo is all directed explosion!

A shaped bomb the size of a bucket exploded about 8 meters from the floor-to-ceiling window of the Haliburton conference room.

The explosion was like a large troll launching a shotgun, and the countless fragments were not very effective in converging inwards because they were not stopped by solid cover, but they fanned across most of the room.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is broken or not, this level of explosion instantly made the security committee dozens of meters away from the side stunned to the ground.

The guys were lucky enough to avoid most of the shrapnel, but they were hit by the side impact of the explosion, and they immediately suffered internal injuries.

In this case, even if there was no shrapnel invasion, only 8 meters apart, even the earthquake would have killed the people in the conference room.

A few security guards on the inside of the main entrance of the office building were lucky enough to escape, they rushed out to check, then looked at the office that was emitting black smoke, looked at each other and shouted, "OH MAY GOD......"

The security guard inside the office building rushed into the conference room with a fire extinguisher and also exclaimed......

The explosion pushed shattered glass and scraped across the room like a blade.

The people who stayed in the conference room at the time of the explosion were like they were in a meat grinder.

The flying shrapnel is not bad, most of it is just a one-time kill, and it will die happily if you hit it.

And those shattered glass shards were pushed by the explosion, constantly shattering and rebounding in the conference room for the second time, and more and more finely shrapnel blurred the flesh and blood of all the human bodies in the conference room.

When the people around panicked and chose to call the police, and by the time the police and ambulance arrived, Boss Qiao had already boarded a low-key car in a surveillance corner......

Joga drove through several car changes before arriving at a café in Queens, New York, at dawn the next day.

Thompson sat in a booth in a café with a newspaper in his hand, and when he saw Joga sitting across from him, he reached out to the waiter to bring his boss a breakfast.

Seeing that his boss was eating comfortably, Thompson said with a smile: "A few hours ago, Beyer from the Department of Homeland Security and Cooper from the FBI called me at the same time.

The terrorist attack on the financial street scared them! ”

Joga took a bite of a sandwich, then looked at Thompson and said with a smile, "They suspect that it has something to do with me?" ”

Thompson shook his head and smiled, "On the contrary, they think it's Lahiri's handiwork."

The directors of Haliburton are all dead, and the dead will not defend themselves.

Haliburton is finished, and now there are people selling their shares in the company, as well as the assets and contracts that Haliburton has. ”

When Qiao Jia heard this, he said with a smile: "It was the shaped energy bomb that belonged to Isis that exploded, and they actually thought of Lahiri, should I admire their acuity, or should I despise them?" ”

Saying that, Qiaojia shook his head and smiled, then took a sip of coffee, looked at Thompson and said, "How's the email going?" ”

Thompson picked up his coffee and looked sideways at the upscale apartment across the road, and said with a smile: "At the speed of the New York police, they should have arrived by now."

Unfortunately, last night's explosion put a lot of pressure on the police, so they seem to have arrived a little late. ”

As Thompson spoke, two police vehicles pulled up in front of the apartment opposite......

Two men and two women got out of the car and entered the apartment.

Soon a man wearing only underwear was taken down and put into a police car, and then two policewomen boarded another police car with a crying girl and some computer cameras and the like.

Joga watched the waiter in the café run out to see the excitement, and he spread his hands to Thompson and said, "That's it?" Who is that guy?

Are you going to ask the New York police to 'fix his computer'? ”
