"The agreement is useless to you and me. I only need information, you only need money, and I have information to find you," Chen Kangjie said confidently.

"Mr. A, I have to explain that for this task, our fees will be very high." We began to enter the bargaining stage.

"Money is not a problem. We can price the information based on the value of the information, ranging from 10 million US dollars to 50 million US dollars. What do you think?" Chen Kangjie was not willing to talk more about the price, so he directly gave a very high price range.

For Chen Kangjie, having a self-protection weight is more valuable than anything else, so he is not stingy at all.

"Okay, that's it." Obviously, the other party was satisfied with the price offered by Chen Kangjie.

"Mr. Goodman, I want to reiterate that the information you obtained from the commissioned investigation can only be handed over to us and cannot be kept in the bottom," Chen Kangjie added.

"Mr. A, you don't need to say this. When we do this, we know the rules and risks. Otherwise, we would have ended up long ago. It would be of no benefit to us. Instead, we kept a time bomb. We might have exploded at any time and I would be crushed to pieces. Therefore, even if you don't want the information we obtained, we will destroy it. This is the way to survive." Goodman talked calmly.

"That's good, I hope you get good news soon," Chen Kangjie stood up, threw the newspaper in his hand into the trash can on the side of the road, and left.

Xiong Ziqiang and Pang Hui, wearing floral shirts and sunglasses, were naturally following suit, and the password box was left behind.

After Chen Kangjie and the others walked 20 meters, Goodman and his assistant took the box that Pang Hui "missed" and left from the other side.

It was an hour after Chen Kangjie and the other two returned to the hotel that Dong Mingshu came back by himself, and they were not all the way.

"How is it?" Chen Kangjie sat on a chair in the study and read a book.

"Without following us, they chose to go to St. George from Route 15 and then go back to New York," Dong Mingshu answered concisely.

"That's good. It seems that I understand the rules. Prepare. There are two more companies in the afternoon and evening." Chen Kangjie stood up with the book in his hand on the table.

Dong Mingshu glanced at it and saw that the title of the book was "On American Democracy", written by Charles Alexi de Tocqueville, a famous French scholar in the 19th century.

Whenever Chen Kangjie is free, he will read any book he catches.

The person I want to meet in the afternoon came from Philadelphia. The meeting location was not in the city, but 47 kilometers away from the city.

This city built in the desert cannot develop without sufficient hydropower, and at most it can only form a small town. However, the Hoover Dam, built on the Colorado River in March 1936, provided him with the development opportunity. The Mead Lake formed after the dam was one of the largest artificial lakes in the world. It provided a continuous stream of hydropower support for the rise of the city of Las Vegas.

The place where Chen Kangjie and the others met was on Lake Mead.

The meeting process is not complicated, similar to the one in the morning. Hoover Dam is now a tourist attraction, and many people take buses to come here.

After ten minutes of conversation, people took the money and left. Chen Kangjie and the others really visited here. Standing on the top of a 70-story dam and looking at the downstream canyon, it is easy for people to feel a sense of superiority of human beings. Through their own efforts and wisdom, humans have cut off this river in the middle. Many American blockbusters have been filmed here.

We returned to the hotel in the afternoon and after dinner, we went to Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas McCarran International Airport). We will not come back this time, and the hotel room will not be returned, and someone will deal with it later.

The person they were going to meet this time was from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The three survey companies were all in the east and were not far from Washington. This was typically related to their business. These three companies were not famous and unknown to the public because they only served a very small number of people and did such dark work, so fame was definitely not what they needed.

The meeting place is in the airport parking lot.

The meeting was a little bit unsuccessful. When the other party heard that it was investigating KLD, he immediately responded fiercely.

"Who are you? You don't know that this is illegal." The old man who met Chen Kangjie leaned against a distribution cabinet, his voice raised very high.

"Don't worry about who I am, what you did before is legal." Chen Kangjie asked, regardless of whether others heard it or not.

Two people passing by heard their conversation, ignored them and drove away by themselves.

Chen Kangjie saw that the other party was at least fifty years old and shouldn't be a person who was as cunning as a person. He must have intentions. Since he was not afraid, why should he be timid?

"That's different. You may not be able to lose your head in this life." The other party took out a cigarette and lit it himself.

"Mr. Dmitry, it is said that you have worked in the CIA and have people from the FBI under your command. I don't know whether it is true or not. Are you so brave?" Chen Kangjie said sarcastically.

"You guess whether it is true or not. If you don't know your identity, I can't do this job." The other party actually wanted to refuse.

"Since that's the case, then forget it, maybe you really can't do it," Chen Kangjie shrugged and spread his hands.

"In the United States, few people can take on this job. The Secretariat of the Ministry of Finance is not a vegetarian." Just as Chen Kangjie turned around and was about to leave, Dmitry said.

The safety of the president and his family does not fall under the CIA or the FBI's responsibilities. First, it was the local police station like ordinary people. Later, Lincoln established an institution to combat counterfeit banknotes, which was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance. Interestingly, the institution was assassinated himself when it was established. As a result, in addition to combating counterfeit banknotes, this institution took on the security of the president. This institution was not authorized by Congress for decades after Lincoln was killed, and it has continued to this day.

Of course, in terms of responsibility, they added another content, that is, to protect visiting foreign heads and politicians. In this regard, the responsibility structure of the Secretariat Office of the Ministry of Finance has been completed. First, to protect the safety of the President and his family, second, to combat crimes in counterfeit banknotes, securities and bills, and third, to protect foreign politicians.

Although this organization has a large number of people, with more than 30,000 people around the world and 1,800 people in Washington alone, due to their complex responsibilities, even the elites among the elites still make mistakes. The most typical example is that President Kennedy was assassinated and died.

More importantly, Chen Kangjie is not trying to assassinate anyone, but just knows some things. The difficulty is much simpler. Some things do not even need to pay attention to the president, and they can get the information they need from the people around him.

"Is that so? At least it means you can't take it alone. I never believe that there is an unbreakable defense in this world." Chen Kangjie stopped.

"One hundred million dollars, I can give you any information you want," the other party said, shaking his finger.

"If you just need to raise the price, then I can tell you that there is no problem, but I have the final say whether the information you give is worth this number. I can only give you a deposit now. Wait until you get useful information, and then pay according to the value. If it is fatal information, I can pay 100 million US dollars." Judging from the other party's performance, Chen Kangjie felt that perhaps he would have more methods and skills than the first two companies, so he did not reject this high price.

Often, people with real abilities will be more special in behavior, which can be understood as self-confidence or prudence. Working with such people can easily get what they want, but their safety factor will also be reduced because such people are difficult to control.

Chen Kangjie also has his own countermeasures. He doesn't want to control anyone, he just wants to protect himself. As long as he chooses himself, the risk will be minimized. This is why he cannot reveal his identity.

The reason why he was willing to pay a deposit of $5 million in advance was to show his strength and to show his sincerity. They would have to spend a lot of money to investigate and collect information. Third, even if the other party did not get useful information or quit, it didn't matter. At most, it would be a loss of $5 million.

Moreover, Chen Kangjie only met them this time, and he would not meet again after this. Information transmission will be carried out in other more secret ways.

"Okay, I'll take it."

"Very good, happy cooperation, I'm waiting for your good news."

Since the agreement was reached, it was time to go their separate ways, but perhaps Dmitry was really interested in Chen Kangjie and actually sent someone to follow him.

Fortunately, the meeting place was chosen by Chen Kangjie, and Xiong Ziqiang and Dong Mingshu were on the periphery, which formed tracking and counter-tracking.

Chen Kangjie and the others led Dmitry's subordinates into a public toilet, causing internal and external attacks. This is the point that was chosen in advance.

,,,,,,.

"How about it.".

"Mr. Dmitry, I don't like you very much."

"Mr. C, you,." Dmitry's tone was a little nervous. He thought the phone was called by his subordinates.

"Mr. Dmitry, reduce your curiosity, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude next time. Your two men are enjoying themselves in the toilet at this time. If you come later, they may be drowned." After Chen Kangjie said that, he hung up the phone in his hand and threw it into the toilet.

The phone was from Dmitry's subordinates. The two of them were put down after following into the toilet. This is not to say that Dmitry's subordinates are really not good, but Chen Kangjie intends to do so.

They may be able to do something with technical content. In terms of skills alone, Chen Kangjie can match them alone, let alone four-on-two.

Don’t think that CIA or FBI is really powerful. Most of them are ordinary, and they are completely exaggerated by American blockbusters. On the whole, they are quite strong because of their most advanced equipment and complete information support, as well as the concealment of various identities and abundant funds, but once they become individuals, it is not the case.

By the time Dmitry arrived, the two had already lying in the toilet and drank a lot of water. Chen Kangjie and the others had boarded the flight from Las Vegas to Kesta. From Kesta, they could soon arrive at Monument Valley and meet with the crew.
