Chapter 20 The Hand of Interest
In the desolate wilderness, a large amount of smoke and dust was everywhere, and a group of cars and motorcycles drove towards the distance. Jean quietly looked at the number of armed forces that had just been counted. There were 145 groups in total, which was another large group.
Supplies.
Locke had just called Locke and passed on the information. Locke cried and hoped that Jean could continue to talk to these armed forces to reduce the amount of supplies, but Jean ruthlessly refused.
He Min had already been asked to go to the east side to observe the situation. Jean was also planning to leave for the east side. At this moment, the phone rang again. Jean found an exposed rock and sat on it, answering the phone.
p>
"Jean, is it really okay? They are going to hijack Sanlian's press conference."
"Believe me, don't reveal it to anyone before I come back. This is for your own good."
Le Xiao hummed, her tone softened a lot, and she hummed a little, but stopped talking.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"Can't it be solved peacefully? How about I go to Section 2 and deal with..."
Before Le Xiao could finish speaking, Gene interrupted her seriously.
"The contradiction has reached the point of being irreconcilable. No matter what you do, it will be useless. Didn't you say before that the rioters do not believe in Congress."
"It's because Congress is covering up Sanlian Company, Gene. I've been dizzy recently. No one feels comfortable. I've eaten bad and poisonous food for so many years. Gene, can you tell me which side you are on?"
?"
Jean lit a cigarette and took a long puff, then looked at the dazzling city under the light in the distance.
"On the side of those who are working hard for life under the sun, Miss Le Xiao, remember what I said, don't tell anyone."
After hanging up the phone, Gene took a deep breath. The cigarette was burning quickly. He exhaled a mouthful of thick smoke and looked to the east. He bowed slightly, put his hands into his pockets, and placed the butt of the cigarette.
The moment it burned out, a smile appeared.
Boom
Jean rushed out in an instant, like a blue lightning. In less than a second, he had reached several hundred meters away. The moment he stepped on the ground, flying sand and rocks flew everywhere, and everything on the ground seemed to have been run over by a road, with dents.
There is only fine dust in the place.
Through such movement, Jean moves at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Such instantaneous stepping and acceleration are what most mutants can do. Powerful mutants can reach the speed of sound, and Jean's speed at this time
It has already exceeded the speed of sound.
Accompanied by bursts of banging sounds and pits on the ground, Jean's body flashed with a layer of light blue light, like an enchanting flame. The moment he encountered an obstacle, Jean's eyes widened.
The obstacles turned into dust.
Galloping in such a vast and silent wasteland, Gene became more aware of everything that would happen next. The script had already been written, not what he had written. Section 2 should have noticed Le Xiao's actions, because he
As Le Xiao's guarantor, although she has obtained high confidentiality authority on the surface and the threat level has been reduced to 0, the same surveillance authority has also reached the highest level.
As long as she disappears from tracking and monitoring for more than an hour, Section 2 will respond immediately. However, according to what Le Xiao said, after she was kidnapped, she was underground for a day, but Section 2 did not.
Any action.
I'm afraid Congress has already written a script, intending to expose Sanlian's affairs, and make Sanlian resist all the blame. What Jean wanted before was to let Sanlian admit its mistakes on its own initiative, and then use the insufficient grain production to
As a certain excuse, we will provide quick and reasonable compensation to minimize the impact on the entire society.
However, things went against expectations. Sanlian Company probably wanted to continue to suppress the matter. Gene did this to promote the establishment of the agricultural experimental base in the barrier area. Unfortunately, everything turned sour because of the resolute uncooperative attitude of the people of Sanlian Company and the resolute uncooperative attitude of the people in Congress.
The abacus of those guys.
With a loud bang, Jean stopped, and a large piece of the ground sunk in. He smiled with a cold look in his eyes.
A phone rang. Gene looked at an unfamiliar number and answered it.
"Is it Gene? I'm Qian Jiazhen. Can you come over to the company to talk?"
"Sorry, I'm not free."
Gene decisively refused, but soon there was panic on the other end of the phone, and there were several frightened voices.
"The fixed price is 50 million, Gene. You can help us settle the matter, and we can give you some more money afterwards."
Gene didn't answer but lit a cigarette and raised his head.
"Is 100 million okay? Gene, I admit that we are blinded by profit, but under the current situation, only you have the ability to solve it. We will hand over the particle-level formula for food, and everything will be done as you say.
Do it."
Now there was a woman on the phone, Baochun. She was already a little incoherent and didn't know what she was talking about.
"If you had promised me a few days ago, things would have been under control. Your company would have to lose money at most and would not disappear. Now it is too late. When Congress issued the orange alert order, everything was out of control.
”
"Wait a minute, Jean, you can definitely find a solution, 500 million, we will pay 500 million..."
Gene blew out a puff of smoke softly and said the last thing.
"A bunch of fictitious numbers can't change anything."
Gene hung up the phone, looked at the dilapidated town in front of him, and walked slowly over.
There must be a breakthrough for the problem that has been suppressed for a long time. However, Jean no longer intends to pay attention to this breakthrough. The biggest problem is already on the way to be solved. As long as he interviews more than 80% of the armed forces in the barrier area, he will be able to solve the problem.
The most threatening point of this urban crisis has been solved.
Jean had just taken a few steps when a number 00002 called. Jean frowned and was a little reluctant to answer, but soon a string of text appeared on the phone screen.
Hurry up and pick up Jean. If you don't pick up, I won't be polite until you come back. I harass you every day and use different methods. Have you forgotten the days you were tortured by me?
"Hello."
"Bastard Jean, if you dare not answer my call, do you want to die? If you came that day and didn't even come to see me, you would leave. If Lillian hadn't told me secretly, I wouldn't have known. You are so serious.
Big bastard..."
Gene put the phone away from his ear. After nearly 10 minutes of cursing, all that came from the phone was gasping.
"Drink some water first, lazy boy."
On the other side of the phone was the voice of a young girl named Mo Xiaolan, the section chief of the Crisis Countermeasures Analysis and Processing Section of the Second City.
"Jean, let me tell you, I gave you the phone number because of our friendship."
"I know, tell me quickly."
After a while, Mo Xiaolan's voice became thick and gloomy.
"The order from Congress has been issued, but I still want to give you a heads-up. How do you plan to solve it? Everything will change dramatically tomorrow, and Congress will also take your opinions into consideration."
"It's up to you to do whatever you want."
Jean hung up the phone before Mo Xiaolan could continue talking, and immediately set up phone message blocking, but soon other unknown calls and Mo Xiaolan's cursing messages were displayed. Jean threw away the cigarette butt,
Turned off the phone.
Killing two birds with one stone, Gene has roughly guessed what Congress will do. The rioters have been preparing for this plan for countless years. The city has been infiltrated, and even many people in the barrier area are preparing to attack.
During the negotiation process with these armed forces, Jean gave them a stern warning, brought up the matter of the agricultural experimental base in the barrier area, and donated materials to them, successfully stabilizing the situation.
This incident can not only dismantle the plan of the rioters organization in one fell swoop, but also solve the long-standing rumors of food problems in the city, leaving Sanlian Company to take the blame, inventory all the assets of Sanlian Company, and let Congress
Making special foods is unfair to many businessmen, but it is good for people under the sun. It facilitates supervision, because it is likely that a second Sanlian Company will appear in a few years.
A famous academic work once said that businessmen are a group of profit-seeking monsters. When the profit reaches 10%, they start to make moves, but when the profit reaches 50%, they can take risks. When the profit reaches 100%,
Sometimes they dare to trample all laws in the world, and when the profit reaches 300%, they dare to risk the death penalty.
"This time things will be fine this time."
Looking back at the dazzling city again, Jean smiled.
........
Inside the prison tower
The wise man was handcuffed. He smiled awkwardly and looked at the serious-faced Jewell next to him.
"Where are you taking me, Jewell?"
But soon Jewell released the handcuffs of the wise man without saying a word, and while pushing him into a secret room, he stuffed a blade into his pocket in 0.1 seconds. At such a speed, the wise man could not see
However, the weak diaphragm in the pocket of the prison uniform made him clearly understand that he was about to die.
In the room, there are several department staff wearing black uniforms with a gold-backed white scale pattern and the word "1" on them, the 1st City Management Section. Although they need to hand over to the General Affairs Section, most of the time they hand over to Congress, directly.
Responsible for all directives from Congress.
One of the young men smiled and placed a glass of water in front of the wise man.
"Sit down, we're just here to ask you a few questions today."
While he was talking, several people from the 1st Department came behind the wise man.
"You don't have to resort to such mobilization. Jewell, you are here. That day when Jean came over, I didn't reveal a single word about the things hidden deeper than the food issue. There is surveillance to prove it. I just want to spend my old age in peace."
Suddenly, the person behind him took out a black string, and the wise man continued with a sneer.
"If I die here today, Jean will know everything. With his character, do you think some people can get away with it? I helped you indirectly this time, and Jean also solved the core issue brilliantly.
The two issues are the antidote and the armed forces in the barrier area. If you don’t believe me, you can give it a try. If you really want to see that monster come back, you can kill me."
As he spoke, the wise man took out the blade from his pocket, but his neck was soon strangled. His eyes widened angrily. The door to the room opened, and a smell of smoke came in.
"Everyone stop it."
Jewell said that everyone around him retreated.
"You understand Jewell, after all, that guy is a real monster. I will help you keep the secret, but you have to let me live in the upper cell. If Jean discovers a problem, I can give you a solution."
What’s the idea?”
Jewell sat opposite the wise man, took out a cigarette, lit it and handed it to the wise man. He took a leisurely breath and revealed a sinister smile.
"The monster Jean has stabilized in recent years. If you are able to subdue him, you don't have to spare my life. After all, I am the one who knows the monster best."
Jewell nodded solemnly.
"I can trade with you, but you have to find a way after Jean comes back."
At this time, the wise man laughed even more arrogantly.
"At the end of the season, check carefully. What he is investigating is very dangerous."
Jewell's eyes widened, he immediately stood up, took out his phone and turned around.
A drop of sweat seeped out from the wise man's forehead, and the fingers holding the cigarette trembled slightly. He survived again, relying on his free acting skills, understanding of the situation, and Gene's death-free medal for some people.
The deterrent power of people.
"We must find a way to get Jean to take me away, otherwise I will definitely die here."
........
As soon as it dawned, Le Xiao was woken up by a rapid knock on the door at 5 o'clock in the morning.
Shi Ke and Mana stood at the door.
"It's time to start taking action. Today is Sanlian's press conference."
Le Xiao was shocked, but when she thought of her mother, she could only nod and start getting ready.
Everything began to burn quietly, just like the rising red sun, the light radiated into the city bit by bit, and the shadowed corners under the light began to light up.
Outside the building of Sanlian Company in Zhuque South District, it was already crowded with people just after 7 o'clock. More than 500 reporters were present. All media wanted to get first-hand information from here. The security personnel at the door had already formed a human wall.
At this time, the crowd in the distance became commotion. Under the protection of the mutants, all the heads of Sanlian Company walked towards this direction, and reporters immediately swarmed up.
Le Xiao was dragged by Mana to walk quickly in the surging crowd, but she still felt a little weak all over.
At this time, Le Xiao saw the three founders of Sanlian Company entering the company building with ashen faces under the escort of security personnel.
"What a God-sent opportunity."
Shi Ke smiled coldly, and Mana also laughed. Le Xiao heard early this morning that most of the people in the 3rd Military Section and the 5th Public Security Management Section went to the middle and lower classes. Once the problem breaks out, blood will flow.
Chapter completed!
