Chapter 655, Secret
Brooklyn only went out once on Sunday, and spent the rest of the day at home, and after sounding the alarm to the bodyguard team, he stayed with Anne for a while, and then went into the study, not knowing what to do.
Central Park is as calm as the hotel where Mr. President is staying.
Except for a staff member who was rushed out at noon, there was no movement.
Mr. President seems to be exhausted and really intends to do everything and have a good rest for the day.
It's the same at the Manhattan Hotel.
Except for a morning out, the military stayed in the house and refused to go out.
The corridor was quiet, except for the entourage standing guard, only occasionally a figure could be seen, walking in a hurry.
On the same weekend, Bob was busy with his feet on the ground.
The police at Bellevue Public Hospital had been removed, and Heather Gerken had been admitted to him, and he had just been called by Bellevue Public Hospital to inform him that Heather Gerken had woken up and wanted to see someone who was helping him pay his medical bills.
Naturally, it was impossible for Brooklyn to meet Heather Gerken, and Brooklyn had already said that he didn't need to meet with Heather Gerken for the time being.
But I'm afraid of missing out on any information.
So, only Bob passed.
Harrison found Bob a chauffeur and bodyguard, which freed Bob to take care of other things while on the road.
However, the man was new, and Bob was not sure of his reliability, and sensitive matters could not be mentioned in the car at all.
Heather Gerken didn't react for a moment when he saw Bob. He looked a little puzzled as to why a stranger would help him pay for his medical bills.
But it didn't take long for Heather Gerken to recognize Bob.
As the chief assistant to Brooklyn, and the people who know all about Brooklyn, it is no exaggeration to say that Bob's relationship with Brooklyn is far from being comparable to that of a husband and wife.
As a former enemy of Brooklyn, Heather Gerken naturally studied the people around him.
The moment he recognized Bob, his eyes widened, but because his face was broken, he was implicated in the wound of the stitches, which made him can't help but let out a cry of pain, and then reacted that Bob was in front of him, and immediately held back.
Bob had come on behalf of Brooklyn, and he had done this kind of thing a lot, and he would have appeared on many occasions where Brooklyn could not attend or where it was inconvenient to show up, but he needed to attend.
There are many such occasions, and Bob naturally has his own set of procedures.
For example, with Heather Gerken, Brooklyn is obviously not interested in him, and the only requirement is that he doesn't want to make a fuss, and wants to save his life.
Therefore, Bob also behaved very perfunctory and did not care about the wound on Heather Gerken's face.
"The doctor said you want to see me, is there anything wrong?"
Bob asked.
He didn't mock, he now represents Brooklyn, and there are some things that Brooklyn can do, but it doesn't mean he can do.
Bob has always had a good grasp of proportion.
"Brooklyn asked you to pay the hospital?"
Heather Gerken had extensive damage to the mucous membranes of his mouth and throat, and these injuries seemed to have injured his vocal cords, making his voice very unpleasant, like a boy who is changing his voice in adolescence and screaming at the balls and then covering his mouth with a mask.
"Yes."
Bob nodded.
"He's afraid I'm dead now and causing him trouble, right?"
Heather Gerken asked with a sneer.
"I don't know." Bob is a very professional and does not comment on this: "The boss is currently paying you 102,564 for medical bills and has booked a room for you for a month, and you can lie here for the next month without having to go back to jail."
When it comes to prison, it is obvious that the muscles of Heather Gerken's cheeks are twitching wildly.
"If nothing else, I'm leaving."
Seeing that Heather Gerken didn't speak, Bob said
"If necessary
Yes, you can call me."
As he spoke, he pulled out a sticky note, filled in his phone number, and pasted it on the bedside.
"Wait."
Heather Gerken stops Bob.
"Give me a copy of the one-eyed gang members."
"One-eyed" is the one who was disrupted by Heather Gerken, and "one-eyed" does not mean only one eye, but is derived from the unique one-eyed angel tattoo on his body.
Bob turned to stare at Heather Gerken. He slowly frowned.
"Ask Brooklyn and he'll agree." Heather Gerken seemed convinced that Bob couldn't call the shots, and offered to "I know what he wants me to do, tell him, and I agree, provided that I get information on all of the One-Eye' gang members." All."
He emphasized.
Bob's frown didn't let go, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, maybe you want to talk about filing a lawsuit against someone who did you harm, maybe I can help you contact the boss about this."
Brooklyn made it clear that he didn't need Heather Gerken anymore.
Heather Gerken didn't seem to expect Bob to reply, and he stared at Bob in astonishment for a moment, then lay back in silence.
"I wish you a speedy recovery." Bob nodded, "If needed, I might be able to make an appointment with Judge Brooklyn, bye-bye."
"He's so annoying, the Department of Homeland Security won't let him go."
Heather Gerken said as he lay on his bed.
Bob paused and walked on.
"Remember the Patriot?"
Bob stepped out of the room with one foot.
"Michael Grady is one of the founders of [Patriot]!"
Bob stopped.
"The Children's Rights Protection Organization is a subordinate organization of [Patriot]!"
Bob turned.
Heather Gerken was lying on his back in the hospital bed, but he hadn't seen Bob at this point.
He was confident that the two messages he threw out were heavyweight enough, and if Bob was really trusted by Brooklyn as described in the profile, he should know what those three sentences meant.
It's just that these two pieces of news are bigger than the other, they are the talismans he prepared for himself, and now that the talisman has come out, he will naturally not be satisfied with a mere $100,000 and "one-eyed" as simple as that.
Bob's cell phone was quickly delivered to Heather Gerken, with Brooklyn on the other end of the line.
Bob put his phone next to his pillow and took two steps back to guard the door.
"I'm Brooklyn."
The speakerphone volume was adjusted to the right size, just enough for the two people in the room to hear clearly, and at the same time not for people passing by or Wu Chuang outside.
"What does it mean that you, Michael Grady, are one of the founders of the Patriot?"
Brooklyn's plans to recharge have finally been shattered.
"A copy of the information of all the members of the 'One Eyes' gang, a $2 million bank account."
Heather Gerken began to open conditions.
"Impossible." Brooklyn directly refused, "I can cut off the supply of your medical expenses right now, let you go back to prison immediately, and guess if you can live to see the sun tomorrow?"
"I'm going to appeal and have your wife, Anne Lee, my defense lawyer."
As if he hadn't heard the refusal, Heather Gerken continued to list the conditions in an unpleasant voice.
"Exclusive interviews with the top 10 media outlets in the federation and full coverage ensure that I can wash my name away."
"Bob, get him out of the hospital and inform the prison that inmate Heather Gerken is ready to go back." Brooklyn raised her voice.
"Yes, boss."
Bob looked left and right, re-entered the room, and went to get the phone.
Heather Gerken's eyes widened, his expression made particularly hideous by the pull on the wound, but he didn't notice anything, staring at Bob's outstretched hand.
Hold the phone with your palm open, and when your fingertips touch the screen, the screen will automatically light up, showing the status of the call and a timer.
01:35
01:36
01:37
The phone was taken away from the pillow, and there was no sound on the other end of the phone during the whole process, as if the phone had been hung up.
When the phone is picked up to a certain height, the screen lights up again.
01:42.
The countdown pauses, and the next moment, the status of the call ends, and the screen automatically jumps to the phonebook interface.
Brooklyn hung up.
"A copy of all the members of the 'One-Eyed' gang, a $2 million bank account, and Anne Lee was entrusted to defend me!"
Heather Gerken looked hideous, stared at Bob deadly, and said quickly with his mouth racing.
Bob paused, re-dialed Brooklyn, and repeated Heather Gerken's revised conditions.
"Impossible."
"Heather Gerken, I'll have to make soup for Anne in a moment, so let's be more practical."
Brooklyn warned.
"A $2 million bank account, and Anne Lee was commissioned to defend me."
"I heard that you're going to be a father, so you can wait until your child is born to cash in."
Heather Gerken backed down again.
This time, there was silence on the Brooklyn side for a while before it sounded again.
"I'll give you a copy of the members of the 'One-Eyed' gang, all of whom are in prison, and I can help you transfer to prison, and provide you with a bearer account of $200,000 that you can withdraw at any time, and I can also provide you with a relatively comfortable prison environment."
"But, Heather Gerken, don't think about appealing, I know what your idea is, let's be honest, I don't have the time or energy to calculate these trivial calculations with you now, I can tell you directly, it's impossible."
Why did Heather Gerken repeatedly insist that Anne Lee must defend him?
He was trying to make sure he would win his appeal.
Choosing Anne Lee, it is impossible for Brooklyn to leave Anne Lee alone, so that Brooklyn can be tied to him, which is equivalent to using Brooklyn's influence to turn over for himself.
Ostensibly his defense lawyer is Anne Lee, but in reality his defense attorney is Brooklyn Lee.
But it was clear that Brooklyn couldn't let him out.
As for the information of all the members of the "one-eyed" gang, what 2 million accounts and the like, they are actually "blindfolding".
Heather Gerken certainly couldn't let go of the "One Eye", but these were nothing compared to his freedom and future.
If he can get out and restore his innocence, if he can regain power and want to rectify a little "one-eyed", isn't it easy to get caught?
Heather Gerken made a lot of demands, and then he streamlined them, as if he was making concessions, but in fact he was making useless demands, and in fact his only focus was for Anne Lee to defend him and restore his freedom.
As a result, Brooklyn repeatedly emphasizes "candor".
It's Heather Gerken's trick, and Brooklyn isn't going to play with him.
As for what to say to make Heather Gerken give in, neither of them mentioned it.
Even if Heather Gerken took the initiative to mention it, even if Heather Gerken gave in, Brooklyn would not dare to use him.
It's come to this point before the hole cards are opened, who would dare to use such a Heather Gerken?
Let's see what his hole cards are!
The Patriot, the secret of Michael Grady.
It sounds like something you had anticipated for a long time, and it was specially prepared for Brooklyn.
This kind of person is not blessed in Brooklyn.
And Heather Gerken's death now may cause trouble for Brooklyn, but overall, he
's life and death are in Brooklyn's hands.
Even life and death are in Brooklyn's hands, what qualifications does he have to negotiate terms with Brooklyn?
Therefore, Brooklyn directly jumped off the building and made a counteroffer, directly missing Heather Gerken's core goal.
Don't you want to get out?
Don't you want to make a comeback?
I'll tell you the facts what makes people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
Providing "One-Eyed" information to help Heather Gerken get revenge is to let Heather Gerken wash away his humiliation, and also to find him something to do, so that he can stop a little in the next tense moment.
The bank account and the comfortable conditions of detention are simply the conscience price offered by Brooklyn.
Although Heather Gerken is in his hands and seems to be able to handle it at will, wasn't he also in his hands before? Why didn't you tell him this before?
If it weren't for the urgency, Heather Gerken probably wouldn't have come up with this at all.
This is a "reward" and encouragement for him, encouraging him to continue to produce more content.
$200,000 sounds like a lot, and it is, but it also has to be compared to what it is.
Heather Gerken's previous conditional status is not to be mentioned, the key is that he is locked up in prison and cannot get out, he has no one to contact, no one to provide him with property.
These 200,000 yuan can allow him to live a good life for three or five years, but it is just sitting on a mountain and eating nothing. Especially given Heather Gerken's eccentric dessert flavours, this time could have been shorter.
[In view of the general environment,
After all, the prison is not a Manhattan neighborhood, and there are no dessert shops to provide services.
If he wants to maintain a decent life without sitting on the mountain, even in prison, he has to find a way......
The moment Brooklyn received Bob's message, he had already changed his attitude towards Heather Gerken.
For the sake of the little secret he hid, this man can't die yet.
Brooklyn needs to at least make sure that Heather Gerken's hidden secrets have been dug up by himself before he can revert to his old carelessness.
The conditions he put forward not only told Heather Gerken what reality was, but also paved the way for "shoveling" in the future.
He behaved like a D-dealer who lured a drug addict to try his first bite.
