Chapter 444: Andre with a ghost
Just a few steps away, a man ran down the mountain, and Andre waved at the man with drunken eyes.
"Hey, Price, did you know we're going up the mountain to get you guys for a drink?"
Price trotted over in a few steps, leaned into Andre's ear, and just wanted to say something to him, but Andre seemed to be very dissatisfied and pushed him away, saying: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, here are all your brothers, and Mr. Cheng is not an outsider......"
Seeing him in this state, Cheng Yu was a lot relieved, which showed that Andre was really drunk, otherwise, he would never have said so openly that he would go up the mountain to find someone on duty to drink, let alone let the other party say it publicly when the other party obviously had the intention to report privately.
Price was a little helpless, so he had to say: "Mr. Bill heard that you were drinking, and he was a little unhappy, he said that it was an eventful time, and you should not drink so much." ”
Andrei became angry when he heard this, squinted his eyes, and said as if he had a piece of cotton in his mouth: "He really thinks of himself as the boss? Usually let him, he really thinks that I have to obey him? Lao Tzu is rarely happy, what's wrong with drinking some wine? You go and tell him that Lao Tzu is going to get drunk today, and now go up the mountain to find my other brothers to drink. I don't know what those Americans value about him, and now he himself is a lost dog, and he came to us to be angry? Ignore him, let's go!"
Behind him, those holding the wine crates laughed loudly, each saying something disdainful of Lawrence.
It seems that this is also a long-standing grudge, as a relatively independent, but usually to Lawrence's opinion to focus on these former mercenaries, has long been dissatisfied with Lawrence. It's just that for the sake of the Americans giving them money, they suppressed it and didn't bring it up.
Now that he has almost drunk, and there is an outsider like Cheng Yu, Andre and those under him, they all feel that they have been hurt by Lawrence, so there will be such an obvious rebound.
But Cheng Yu saw it in his eyes, but he was a little worried, he didn't know what the grudge was between Andre and Lawrence, but since he had almost decided to do it tonight, he had to prevent these two from joining forces to act for him.
However, Andre drank at least one bottle of multi-whiskey, that is, more than a pound and a half of wine, no matter how good the amount of alcohol is, it should be about the same, right?
In any case, Cheng Yu has already kept an eye on it, and at this time, there must be no mistakes.
So, Cheng Yu stepped forward, grabbed Andre, and said with a smile: "Andre, I know you want to entertain me well, but since Mr. Bill is unhappy, let's just leave it at that tonight." I'm not in a hurry to leave anyway, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we can drink again. ”
"What are you afraid of?" Andre glared, "That Lawrence, who puts a boss in front of us all day long, in fact, everyone is the same, they all work here with American money, and we both have our own hands, why is he pointing such a finger at me?"
"Since we are working together, there is no need to create such an incompatible situation, which will let your boss know that it is not good for you. Well, you go back first, and I'll go see Mr. Bill, talk to him, and if there's nothing wrong, I'll go back to you." ”
Andre said nonchalantly: "What's the matter, I'm happy to drink, Mr. Cheng, you don't care about him, let's continue to drink." My brothers on the hill haven't even drunk a sip of wine tonight, and it's so unfair to them just that we're here to make a scene. Let's go on, let's go up the hill, I'm going to see what that Lawrence can do to me?"
The more he did this, the more Cheng Yu was a little worried, so Cheng Yu held his mind and said, "Why don't you go first, I'll go talk to Mr. Bill, don't cause conflicts between you because of my arrival." ”
Andre grabbed Cheng Yu's arm and said, "No, Mr. Cheng, don't worry so much, you just go up the mountain with us." Lawrence's side, don't bother. If he dares to chirp crookedly, Lao Tzu will shoot him with one shot......"
This is a bit excessive, it really doesn't look like acting, after all, Lawrence can't have any deep suspicions about Cheng Yu, at most, he will arrange some small interviews to explore.
Andre is now in a posture that doesn't take Lawrence seriously at all, and even said that he was going to shoot him, if this is still acting, it is really an actor whose acting skills are comparable to those of an actor.
But to be on the safe side, Cheng Yu still insisted on going to Xiaobai's house to have a look, after all, Cindy had completely drunk too much, and she didn't know anything at this time except for giggling.
So, Cheng Yu said: "Otherwise, Miss Cindy has already drunk too much, I'll send her back and talk to Mr. Bill by the way." You go up first, and I'll go up to you soon." ”
Andre saw that Cheng Yu insisted, and that Cindy had indeed drunk to an outrageous level, he finally nodded and muttered: "Then you have to hurry up, after sending Miss Cindy back, go directly to the mountain, as for that Lawrence, you don't care about him, that idiot, has lost his greatest usefulness, although the Americans have not made up their minds yet, but if he dares to provoke me again, I really don't care about shooting him, and the Americans will not do anything to me." ”
Cheng Yu was shocked when he heard this, this means that Lawrence has lost ground on the side of the Americans?
I don't know if what Andre said is true or not, but if it is true, it shows that although the Americans still helped Lawrence leave Chile and come to the Falklands from Argentina, the Americans are already very dissatisfied with him.
After all, those people in the United States are not politicians, although they may also help Lawrence with the matter of identity, but for them, it is a matter that outweighs the loss, and they will never do it lightly unless they have to.
And Andre's gang is slightly inferior to Lawrence in sequence, but they are still directly responsible to the Americans, so now that Lawrence decides to defect to the British, he will inevitably face the situation of getting rid of Andre and others, or recruiting Andre and others.
There is no doubt that Lawrence's behavior tonight is not smart, after all, Andre is in control of the gun, even if Lawrence has a group of people, but whether it is individual strength or overall combat ability, it is far inferior to Andre and others.
At this moment, what he needs to do is to appease Andre and the others as much as possible, not to scold them, let alone put on a boss posture and condescending, which is bound to cause a strong backlash from Andre and others.
Whether it's true or not, Andre can be regarded as helping Cheng Yu find the contradiction between him and Lawrence, and Cheng Yu can use it if necessary.
"Don't worry......" Cheng Yu patted Andre on the shoulder and walked over to Cindy's side.
Just about to drive Cindy himself, Andre said: "You two, accompany Mr. Cheng to send Miss Cindy back, and then, you wait for Mr. Cheng over there, go up the mountain with him, and save him from entering the gate." ”
With that, he pointed to his two men.
Cheng Yu smiled at Andre, and walked up with his hands behind his back, but there was a slight chuckle in his heart.
Andre had always been very drunk before, but in the sentence just now, he showed a little sober state.
No, Andre doesn't seem to be drunk, so he's acting with Lawrence?
Cheng Yu thought about it, and the two people under Andre had already set up Cindy and followed him towards the small white house.
Walking into the courtyard, Cheng Yu turned his head to take a look.
The moonlight tonight is not so bright, it seems that some dark clouds are obscuring, the island seems darker, and after such a long distance, Cheng Yu can't see Andre's performance clearly.
However, Cheng Yu, who was suspicious in his heart, always felt that Andre's footsteps were no longer as stumbling as he was just now, and Cheng Yu had also been in contact with the two people who held Cindy many times, this belonged to Andrei's more valued people, and he should be Andrei's henchmen.
And, Cheng Yu remembered that when he was separated from Andre just now, Andre deliberately pointed at these two people, and at that time, there were actually several former mercenaries around Cindy, and these two people were a little far away from Cindy.
Two people who were a little far away were deliberately found to help Cindy, which also seemed to mean that Andre was not as drunk as he appeared.
There's something greasy about that......
However, Cheng Yu is also very strange, he should not show any fault, and Cheng Yu's main target has always been Lawrence, for Andre's gang, Cheng Yu adheres to the view that if he can not conflict with them, Cheng Yu doesn't want to do anything, at least in Cheng Yu's place, they have no reason to die.
So why did Andrei make such a move to himself?
Could it be that Lawrence really had doubts about himself, so he arranged it this way?
Cheng Yu felt that he had to be more careful.
Walking into the white house, the two men sent Cindy into his room, and then walked out, pretending to be drunk again, and said to Cheng Yu: "Mr. Cheng, we are waiting for you in the courtyard, you have to hurry." ”
Cheng Yu smiled and nodded, and went straight to the reception room.
After taking two steps, Cheng Yu turned his face and glanced at the two people, although these two people were faltering at this time, but when they helped Cindy just now, they seemed to be steady, which made Cheng Yu a little more vigilant.
Lawrence was sitting in the reception room, his face was ugly, and when he saw Cheng Yu coming in, Lawrence narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Lawrence, I'm sorry, Andre has to ...... today"
Before Cheng Yu could finish speaking, Lawrence snorted coldly: "Hmph! Andre, that idiot, is he so happy that Peng is dead? ”
"Hehe, it's okay, I shouldn't have drunk too much. However, Peng died, and they were happy, which I didn't see. Lawrence, are you misleading?"
"You don't talk to them, Andre, I don't know? He has always been unconvinced of me, thinking that I am not qualified to ride on his head. If it weren't for me, how could the Americans have given them such a high salary? It was I who kept them out of the jungle and didn't have to spend their lives to earn money. Do you really think I can't see that they have always had a dislike for me?"
Cheng Yu walked over, pulled out a chair and sat down: "Is there such a big contradiction between you? ”
"Hmph! It seems that Andre didn't say anything bad about me just now, that guy ......"
Cheng Yu observed Lawrence's performance, either his acting skills were too good, or it was really him and Andre who had already had a discord, and the two didn't like each other, but they still had to work together.
Judging from Lawrence's performance, Cheng Yu is more inclined to the latter.
So, is Andrei having his own mind? After all, Andrei's drunkenness can almost be determined to be fake.
Could it really be that the Americans are going to give up on Lawrence? So the two sides, which have been grudges for a long time, are now finally showing their fangs.
"No, not so ......", but Cheng Yu still pretended to be consoled.
"Alan, although your personal ability is very good, but you don't know about these outlaws, how can they hide from me with their little care? Just now, Andre must have said that he wanted to shoot me down, right?"
"No, no......" Cheng Yu smiled, "Lawrence, you're too worried." ”
"Okay, let's not talk about them, Alan, you've got in touch with your people, right?
Cheng Yu smiled: "You can rest assured about this, after contacting just now, they have already issued a basic plan." It's just that you said you wanted to rest, so I didn't bother you. Our people said that they didn't know about the situation on the island, so they wanted to send someone to see it for themselves. ”
"You mean, you Brits aren't going to give me R&D funds?" Lawrence looked dissatisfied.
Cheng Yu smiled slightly and said: "Lawrence, don't be in a hurry, after all, this is not a deal that can be done with a hammer for millions of dollars, this is a long-term cooperation process, and it is normal for those politicians to understand more clearly."
But as for your identity, they said absolutely fine, they will take care of everything tomorrow and send someone over with your British passport.
When the time comes, you will be a British citizen in full rank.
With proper follow-up, Cindy will soon be able to return to China first and continue to serve as her deputy mayor.
And that mayor, even if there is insufficient evidence to be prosecuted, it is impossible to continue to stay in his position as mayor. Half a year at most, and when Cindy wins the municipal election, you'll be able to return to San Diego as you please. ”
Lawrence was still very dissatisfied and said, "Why? I've already made Peng take care of everything, why can't I sue the mayor?"
"This depends on the outcome of the wrestling between your domestic political parties in Chile, which is not something that we in Britain can control.
I'm only talking about the worst-case scenario.
Of course, there will be better situations, for example, if the mayor is sued and then recalled, and Cindy, as deputy mayor, can directly take power as acting mayor, and there will be no more competitors to win the municipal elections in the second half of the year.
And you, after the mayor is deposed, you can return home as a British citizen. ”
Lawrence nodded with a dark face, Cheng Yu was right, and he understood.
Cheng Yu asked again: "I forgot to ask you just now, how is Peng's situation now?"
"As soon as you entered the door, I didn't say it, Peng is dead. Lawrence said angrily.
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Lawrence, don't be angry with me, I did all this for your good, and I also gave you advice from your standpoint, you don't want to stay on this island all the time, right?"
As me, I have to help the party behind me determine this, and if Peng is still alive, there is still the possibility of a reversal in this matter, and I cannot afford this responsibility.
So, if I could, Lawrence, I would like to see Peng's body so that I can be completely reassured. ”
Lawrence slapped the table and said angrily, "Alan, do you believe me?"
Cheng Yu was not angry, and said with a smile: "Lawrence, don't be like this, what we are doing is a big thing, this is not a child's house." There is no point in talking about trust. What I need is to ensure the interests of all parties and let all parties benefit, not to talk to you about trust here. Even if we are brothers, the situation today will not change in any way. ”
Lawrence still seemed angry, and he snorted, but did not speak for a while.
"It can be seen that Peng is not dead yet, I know that you have a deep relationship with him, and you can't bear to let you kill him like this. However, as long as Peng lives, our affairs may be ruined. If you don't have to, I don't want to force you to kill your own brother. So, Lawrence, please make a decision. ”
Lawrence hesitated, he almost gritted his teeth, and said, "Actually, I'm just a little unbearable, if I really don't want to kill him, I just tell you that I killed him, and then throw his body into the sea." ”
Cheng Yu smiled and nodded, and said, "So, I'm grateful that you didn't try to deceive me." But, I have to say, sometimes, a woman's kindness is unacceptable, and since you are determined to let him take the blame, you have to make sure that everything is safe. ”
Lawrence let out a long sigh, stood up, walked to the window, looked out at the thick night, and pondered for a long time.
Eventually, he turned around, sighed again, and said, "Okay, I'll take you over now, how about you kill him with your own hands?"
Cheng Yu stood up and said that he could leave at any time.
When he walked to the door, Lawrence suddenly said in a dark voice: "If you come forward to say that you are responsible for the mayor's shooting, you must get rid of Peng, but, Allen, your original suggestion was to let me and Peng take this responsibility together, so did you also want to kill me afterwards?"
Cheng Yu's footsteps hesitated slightly, but soon, he turned around without any pressure, and said with a smile: "Lawrence, you think too much, if you want to kill the mouth, whether you are responsible for the shooting or not, I can choose to finally kill you." Your value is not in whether you are responsible for the shooting, but in your future territory, you say?"
Lawrence's eyes were cloudy, but he believed that Cheng Yu was telling the truth.
And in fact, what Cheng Yu thought was, no matter what, your value is not worth half a dime to me, as long as there is a chance, I will definitely kill you, this is my promise to Vincent.
Back in the room, Cheng Yu glanced at his laptop, where there was no longer any active window.
Closing the computer, Cheng Yu violently opened the back cover of the computer, took out the hard disk directly, and then threw the computer into the trash, and walked out with the hard disk himself.
Lawrence had already changed his clothes, and the two of them went out together, and the two Andre's subordinates outside the door were still waiting for Cheng Yu, and when they saw that Cheng Yu actually came out with Lawrence, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
When Lawrence saw them, he was very displeased and said, "Why, Andre can't wait for you to spy on me?"
The two were cramped, and Cheng Yu hurriedly helped explain: "Don't get me wrong, they are waiting for me, but I still have some things to deal with with Mr. Bill now, why don't you go first." ”
