On the twelfth floor of the hotel, Martin and Bruce got out of the elevator, waiting for Neves, the FBI director here, to come over and shake his hand.

"The other party has placed some key items in your room." He said to Martin, "We need to get into your room. ”

Martin was prepared and said, "Yes, but my manager and I need to be with us the whole time." ”

Bruce tacitly agreed with Martin and interjected: "Because of the relationship between the Russians, in order to ensure Martin's safety, I set up a little simple security in the room, and it is possible to photograph them." ”

Neves looked at Bruce and said, "This way, please." ”

Martin took a few steps closer and asked, "What's going on?" Are the Russians really going to attack me? ”

Neves didn't know how to speak for a moment.

His men rushed in, knocked down the three suspects with a stun bomb, and brought the situation under control in the most brutal way, resulting in three press cards for the News of the World.

Through the FBI's channels, they immediately determined that the three people were indeed an expatriate news team under the News of the World.

More cases are pending.

"If it doesn't involve state secrets, can you give me something to say?" Martin patted his chest, where the Presidential Medal of Freedom was still hung: "I am a party, and it involves the safety of my life, I must always give me some news, and I am so prepared." ”

Neves immediately came to his senses and said, "Don't worry, it's not Russians, it's three reporters from the News of the World who bought two hotel employees to install eavesdropping and candid photography equipment in your room." ”

Martin's face was full of shock: "God Jesus! They're crazy too! He reacted as he deserved: "Lao Bu, call my lawyer and agent, I'm going to sue this newspaper to close!" ”

After saying that, he was a little fluke: "Fortunately, it's not Russian." ”

Neves smiled: "We're lucky. He comforted Martin again: "Don't worry, we'll deal with it later." ”

When he came to the door, Martin had just taken out his room card, and Bruce took it and swiped it to open the door.

Martin invited, "Please come in." ”

Neves entered the suite with several FBIs.

Bruce found his laptop and camera, put them on the coffee table, and clicked play.

Neves looked at Martin: "You're careful. ”

Martin smiled helplessly: "Originally, I was quite bold, but at the time of Burbank Middle School, life and death were really on the line, but now I think about it, I am still afraid, and my courage is getting smaller and smaller." ”

"Same." Neves agrees with Martin's statement: "The more you experience, the less courage you get." ”

Bruce quickly put it down, and soon saw two waiters enter the room.

Neves pointed and asked his men to do their work, and then asked Martin, "Can I make a copy of the video?" ”

Martin replied, "Of course." ”

Bruce took the memory handed to him and copied the video.

The F.B.I. found three sets of candid camera and bugging devices in the living room, master bedroom and bathroom.

Martin's face was quite ugly, but his head never stopped, constantly remembering and thinking.

Neves answered the phone here, came back and said: "Mr. Davis, don't spread the news for the time being, control it within a certain range first, this is also what the White House means." ”

The chief of staff made a special call to him about this.

Martin recalled the old bugging door, and guessed in his heart, and said: "I can cooperate with you, but I need an explanation, and the hotel, and the newspaper, and so on." ”

He clicked on the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and although the weight of this thing was the same, it had some effect: "On the day I was awarded, someone wanted to secretly photograph and eavesdrop on me, and their goal was very obvious, trying to make me stink." I received the medal from the White House, and I received the honor from Mr. President! ”

Neves said: "Someone will give you an explanation today." ”

Martin sat on the couch: "I'll wait. ”

He was not idle, and called WMA and Coca-Cola respectively, although he did not elaborate on the specific matters, but both sides would send special personnel over.

Especially the Coca-Cola Group, Washington originally prepared an event, but it was disrupted by this incident, and the relevant responsible person association is also actively contacting.

…………

In New York, a business plane took off urgently and flew non-stop to Washington, D.C.

Murkridge, the North American editor-in-chief of the News of the World, and Tom, a lawyer who arrived in a hurry, were the only two passengers in the crew.

"The latest news I have got......" Mockridge recounted the incident in detail as quickly as he could.

Tom thought about it for a moment and suggested: "Three ways to refuse to admit that they are the personal actions of newspaper employees, or casual workers. ”

"Here's a way." Mokridge thought more comprehensively: "If Martin Davis is alone, it doesn't matter what to do, but this matter involves the White House, and Xiao Bu has just awarded him the honor...... We can say in the newspapers that he is as stupid as a pig, not in real negotiations, and the pig also needs to be faced. ”

Tom added: "Go through the legal process with him, and with the News Corp. behind us, dragging him can also drag him to death." He added: "Again force him to come to a reconciliation with us." ”

Mokridge still shook his head, he had a lot of information that was far from what Tom, the lawyer, knew.

In London, the News of the World is investigating the leak of William's knee injury.

As for eavesdropping and secretly taking pictures, it has always been the tacit means of obtaining news by newspapers and even groups.

Tom didn't say a third way, obviously.

Mokridge decided: "Two points, those three are just peripheral news informants for the News of the World; Settle with Martin Davis as soon as possible. ”

The employer has made a decision, and Tom, the lawyer, will naturally not object.

Mokridge pulled out his phone and called Washington.

In the White House, after Xiaobu got feedback on the case, he threw this little matter to the people below to deal with.

The chief of staff approached Cohen, who was in charge of keeping an eye on the progress, and said simply: "Mr. President needs the support of the media. ”

Cohen replied, "I understand. ”

The chief of staff added: "Mr. President is also annoyed. ”

"I'm going to get a settlement as soon as possible," Cohen said. ”

The chief of staff said, "The people from the News of the World are on their way, you go to the Hilton Hotel." He reminded: "The people from Coca-Cola came to the Hilton Hotel, and they contacted me. ”

Cohen knew that Martin Davis could not be taken lightly, and there was a force standing behind him as well.

If Martin had been stinking by the News of the World, Coca-Cola would have given up on him.

But as it stands, Martin is gaining momentum.

…………

At the Hilton Hotel, the hotel manager, Brown, who is Asian, entered Martin's suite.

Martin glanced at him.

Brown introduced himself and said, "Mr. Davis, the hotel is very sorry for the disturbance you have suffered, and I apologize to you on behalf of the Hilton Hotel." ”

He made a standard ninety-degree bow.

Martin immediately understood that this was either a stick or a devil.

Brown straightened up and bowed again: "Please forgive Mr. Davis." ”

Martin didn't speak.

Brown stooped over and stood there, as if Martin didn't understand, and he didn't get up.

Martin said that in the future, large companies will find a stick or devil to apologize to people.

This talent skill is full.

Martin raised his hand: "It doesn't have to be this way. ”

Brown quickly straightened up, as if hearing a squeaking of his spine, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Davis, for your understanding." ”

Martin was speechless, isn't this the spirit of a scoundrel?

Apologize again and again, and don't mention a word about it.

Martin secretly scolded a sentence of Fake, and said directly: "I have entrusted this matter to a lawyer, how to deal with it, the lawyer will talk to you, if you can't talk, you will go through the legal process." ”

Brown touched his waist, originally thinking about whether to come to the third, but when he heard this, there was no need: "Mr. Davis, the hotel is also a victim." ”

Martin laughed and said two names: "Wolf and Bellerin." ”

"During the Independence Day holiday, there were a lot of tourists, and the hotel hired a group of temporary workers, and they were among them." Brown took out a card and put it on the coffee table: "Hilton's VIP membership card can enjoy a 20% discount on reservations at all Hilton hotels." ”

Martin just looked at him and didn't speak.

Bruce continued: "When Martin signed with Coca-Cola, they provided Martin with a VIP card with a 60% discount on all Hyatt hotels. ”

It's not a matter of a few discounts at all.

Martin got up and went to the bedroom: "I'm tired and need to rest, Lao Bu, you talk to Mr. Brown for a while, Coca-Cola will be there in a while." ”

Martin won't make any deal with the Hilton until someone from News of the World or News Corp comes along.

Bruce's talk is to drag it out first.

More than an hour later, Martin received a phone call from Cohen, a White House aide, who wanted to ask him down for a chat.

Martin used frightening as an excuse to let them have something to talk about.

Martin was thinking about it from the moment he got the exact news of the wiretapping and candid filming, the Sun and the News of the World were not critical, but the News Corp behind it had to think about it.

It would be very troublesome to get this thing right.

As for seeking fairness and justice in American law, he was not so naïve.

Martin has been trying to remember the bugged door, as if he had seen a related news that the reporter who exposed it committed suicide.

Suicide......

The Presidential Medal of Freedom, which I just got today, is useful and useful, and useless when I say it is useless.

In addition, he is only the spokesperson of Coca-Cola, not the son of Knight to Nike.

Even if you really want to do something, it's not now.

Martin was self-aware and quickly figured out how to respond.

There was a knock on the door, and Neves came here with the three of them.

After entering the door, he first made an introduction to both parties.

Cohen, a White House aide.

Murkridge, the North American editor-in-chief of the News of the World, and Tom, the lawyer he brought along.

On Martin's side, it's just him and Bruce for the time being.

The door to the suite closed, and the parties began to negotiate, and soon a consensus was reached that the three-person team of journalists, all of whom had Slavic ancestry, were spies from Russia.
