Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Plane of the Soil
Far across the Pacific Ocean.
Americaka.
Decatur City, Illinois.
Like other small cities in America, it has a population of just over 100,000, but it is favored by many large companies.
A Latina drives a pickup truck with small cages inside a colony of large rats chirping on dog biscuits.
His name is Hook, he immigrated to America from Mexico half a year ago, ostensibly as a small businessman in the import and export trade, mainly purchasing some medical supplies from America and exporting them to the southern region of Mexico.
Because America was very lenient in its management of exporting drugs and medical supplies, Hook's business was only a few hundred thousand dollars, which was very inconspicuous, so it naturally did not attract attention.
It has been more than half a year since he moved to the suburbs near the city, and he even opened a pet supply store in the city.
The rat in the pickup truck is actually Hook's pet, and the employees and neighbors in the store know that Hook likes to raise rats.
It's just that they don't know that Hook likes to raise rats, not because he really likes them, but to hide them.
He drove his pickup truck to a hillside not far from the city and began to pitch his tent, prepare for a barbecue and camp.
The view of the hillside was wide, and the cold winds of autumn and winter did not seem to affect Hook's mood, and he sat by the fire while holding a telescope.
In the shot, a building appears in his eyes.
It was the headquarters of ADM, one of ABCD's four major grain merchants.
Catherine Adams, who had just returned to headquarters from Southeast Asia, was in the conference room of the headquarters building, reporting to President Jayne Martin.
Catherine said confidently: "Mr. President, the plan for a grain war against Luzon has begun, and the Fernando family and the Lopez family will pay the price for their disobedience. ”
Jayne took a sip of black coffee: "Children always have a rebellious period, just take a beating, I heard that Garfield of Fernando is competing with that Aston of the Marcus family, right?" ”
The secretary on the side nodded: "Yes, Mr. President." ”
"So what are you waiting for? We should put our dear Mr. Aston at our service, not the self-righteous Mr. Garfield on stage. Jayne's eyes were filled with cold malice.
Catherine suggested: "Malaysia's Kwok and Sing Tao's Temasek investment may be able to help a little, after all, they have a lot of influence in Southeast Asia." ”
Jayne glanced at Catherine, then laughed, "Lady Catherine has gained a lot from this trip, right?" ”
"I'm just doing things for the company, after all, it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy." Catherine replied with a smile.
Jayne wasn't angry about this, as long as it didn't affect the interests of the company, Catherine made small moves during the secret talks, he didn't really care.
It was in this pleasant atmosphere.
Inside the mezzanine level of the ceiling of the conference room, a miniature signal receiver suddenly lit up red.
Hundreds of kilograms of TNT were instantly detonated under the excitation of the electrical device.
Boom Boom Boom ......
Jayne, Catherine and the others were talking and laughing one second, but the next second they were directly blown to pieces, and the upper and lower floors of the conference room were blown up.
The shock wave and roar of the explosion were also instantly felt in other areas of the ADM headquarters.
"Oh buy karma!"
"Ahh......hh
Kombat 911 ......
Some people who were outside the surrounding area suddenly screamed in horror and saw the ADM building burst into flames after the explosion.
Meanwhile.
On a hillside two kilometers away from ADM headquarters.
Hook put down his binoculars, then pressed a special button on his hand and continued the barbecue.
In a tree near the ADM headquarters, a large black rat bit off a white line, and then quickly jumped out of the tree hole and ran towards the mountain forest in the distance.
After about 60 seconds, a special bottle of thermite was ignited, and the flames quickly consumed all the electronic devices in the hollow.
in pickup trucks.
Hook took a sip of hot coffee, then fed a dozen large black rats in the cage of the carriage a large handful of dog biscuits, when suddenly a rat sprang out of the bushes not far away and ran to his feet.
"My little darling, welcome home."
Gently put the rat into the cage, grabbed a large handful of beef jerky and dog biscuits from the feed bucket, and placed them on a special small plate.
The rat munched on its food merrily.
Hook, however, was unhurried and continued to enjoy the flames in the distance.
In the thick smoke, and the panicked crowd of people in the city, it was as if some demon was crawling out of the flames.
"This is the real business war." He had an eerie smile on his face, then raised his hot coffee and drank it.
……
More than a dozen fire trucks sped in.
Hundreds of firefighters, stimulated by ADM's banknotes, sprayed water jets in the cold wind and flames to suppress the raging flames.
It was not until near evening that the fire was completely extinguished.
In the bloody sun.
Philip, the head of the FBI in the field, looked dark, and looked at the ADM headquarters building in ruins, and he knew that he was definitely going to be thrown down.
The technical section was already wearing blast suits and cautiously entered the building, searching for all evidence.
The middle-aged white man next to Philip, although he had been keeping a straight face, had a hint of joy in the depths of his eyes.
Jayne, Catherine, and the others are definitely finished, and maybe I can go one step further, and God is on my side." Ohm thought excitedly.
Philip patted his forehead, and then looked at Ohm who was in a daze, and he resisted the anger in his heart, and asked indifferently:
"Mr. Ohm, may I ask a few questions?"
Ohm, who was in a daze, suddenly had a spirit, and only after seeing Philip on the side did he react:
"Uh...... As long as it doesn't involve company secrets, I can answer some of the things I know. ”
‘“OK。” Philip pressed his recorder and asked, "Is there anything unusual about ADM lately?" I mean what the enemy is. ”
"...... in this regard," Ohm didn't know how to answer, and it can't be said that there are many forces in the world who want ADM to explode on the spot.
After all, to develop the company into such a world-class grain merchant, it will definitely offend a lot of vested interests in the process.
"Alright! I understand. Philip also knew that he had asked a stupid question, and changed the subject directly:
"Then the next question, what is the area of the 5 floors that were blown up?"
Ohm thought for a moment and replied, "The fourth floor is the Global Contact Center, the fifth floor is the large conference room, the sixth floor is the small conference room and the archives room, the seventh floor is the president's office and library, and the eighth floor is the president's lounge and sports room. ”
Philip looked at the blast area of the building, and could roughly estimate that the center of the explosion was near a small conference room, and it was clear that the target was ADM executives.
And Ohm was very helpless on many questions, which made Philip very helpless, he knew that such a large company must have a lot of secrets that could not be seen, but this also brought a lot of difficulties to the investigation.
The bombing of the ADM headquarters also made the four major grain merchants feel uneasy at once, and at the same time disrupted many of their plans.
