Chapter 156: Actions Underwater
"Ahem...Dr. Glassman, I feel like my condition seems to be better today."
In a mansion in the suburbs of San Francisco, Jobs was sitting on the sofa in the living room. After being examined by doctors and nurses, he smiled and said that he seemed to be in good spirits.
"That's good, Mr. Jobs, but I still suggest that you have the surgery as soon as possible."
Glassman frowned a little and spoke again to admonish.
Although Western medicine is regarded as mainstream medicine all over the world, in reality, surgery, whether it is Western or Eastern.
There is a small group of people who don't like surgery. This is not because they doubt its therapeutic effect, but because they don't like to be put on the operating table like animals and let others disembowel themselves and take out part of the body's flesh and blood.
.
This view becomes more popular and recognized among more advanced intellectuals, and many people even regard the state of powerlessness as a trampling on their own personality and dignity.
As a doctor, Glassman naturally understands Jobs's psychology very well. This is why hospitals now do not allow family members to accompany him in bed, and try to use a closed environment where doctors and nurses can take care of him.
This is all to safeguard the patient's personality and dignity, and at the same time reduce many unnecessary doctor-patient disputes.
"No, Dr. Glassman, I will never go to the operating table."
Jobs, who was still smiling at first, immediately turned down his face as Glassman tried to comfort him again, and refused seriously.
Jobs was not illiterate, nor did he know that surgery was important to him. If the chance of recovery was high, he would endure it.
But now his disease is pancreatic cancer, which is known as the king of cancers. The chance of being cured on the operating table is very low. Naturally, he does not want to lose his personality and personality at the last moment of his life.
dignity.
"this..."
Faced with Jobs's firm refusal, Glassman could only smile bitterly. After thinking about it, he took out a bottle of medicine from his bag and said again: "Okay, this is medicine. You can take this medicine for a while."
Don’t forget to eat.”
"Thanks."
After seeing that Glassman stopped insisting, Jobs's complexion improved again, and he motioned to his wife Laurenna beside him and asked her to take the medicine in his hand.
There was no way to convince Jobs, so Glassman didn't want to stay any longer. He packed up some tools, then, escorted by Laurenna, walked out of Jobs' house, got in the car and left.
Normally, Glassman would go directly to the hospital at this time, but this time he entered the city, drove left and right, stopped on a remote street, and walked into a phone booth.
Glassman stood in the phone booth and looked at the time on his watch. After waiting quietly for a while, the phone in the phone booth suddenly rang.
"Hello..."
Hearing the phone ringing, Glassman quickly picked it up. His originally calm mood became tense and panicked.
"Mr. Glassman, I wonder how things went?"
A strange voice change came from the other side of the phone, making it impossible to tell whether the person on the other end was a man or a woman.
"I have done what you asked me to do. Please don't hurt my family."
Glassman said with a grimace, exclaimed and anxiously.
Glassman didn't know who was on the other side of the phone. Three days ago, he suddenly received an email in his mailbox at home, which contained photos of his wife and daughter. At the same time, it was also in accordance with the other party's request, just like now.
Contacted the other party in the usual way.
Although Glassman was a little panicked after learning about the other party's plan, he also understood that he had no choice. Calling the police or telling Jobs would only make the other party abandon him and find the person behind the phone.
But for him, Glassman, there was no benefit at all. In the end, only his family would be harmed, which made him have to do what the other party asked him to do.
"Very well, Mr. Glassman. In the trash can on the left side of the phone booth, there is the 50,000 yuan fee. I hope our cooperation can always be such a pleasant experience."
Ignoring Glassman's request, the other person on the phone said something again and hung up the phone.
"Hey hey..."
Listening to the disconnection sound on the other side of the phone, Glassman asked hurriedly, but except for the "beep" sound, there was no other sound.
In this situation, Glassman's body suddenly became weak. As a very professional doctor, he knew that the medicine given to Jobs would not cause any immediate problems, but if he took it for a long time, it would aggravate the other person's condition.
illness.
The current situation is obvious. The threat from the other party will not end this time. I am afraid that he will continue to deliver medicine like this in the future.
Glassman, who was a little frightened, walked out of the phone booth weakly, walked to the trash can, easily dug out a bag of money, got up, got into his car again, and left quickly.
Glassman did not realize that, not far from where he had just made the call, someone was using a telescope on the roof of the building to see his situation completely.
"Frank, he left without anyone following him."
After observing carefully, Bendy took back the telescope and said with a smile to his companion.
"Haha, consider him smart, otherwise we would have to choose someone else to do this."
The white man named Frank replied with a sneer.
"Haha, actually I feel that the servants in the other party's family are better candidates. After all, I believe that the other party needs money more."
Bendy continued.
"That's not necessarily the case. I just don't want the plan to be messed up because of someone who is too stupid. After completing this order, the two of us can retire."
Frank was obviously the brains among the two, and he analyzed it calmly.
"Yes, I just don't know who is behind this. Will they kill us both in the end?"
After clicking, he agreed with Frank's words, but in the end, Bendy hesitated.
Although he retired from the army in his early years and became a mercenary, he is also very aware of this kind of assassination. I am afraid that big shots are involved. This kind of thing often represents huge profits, but the danger is far greater than that in the Middle East and other places.
battlefield.
"So don't even inquire about the secrets behind it. Keep your mouth shut, otherwise you will be seeking death."
Frank didn't worry about Bendy at all, because he knew very well that the two of them didn't know who the person behind the scenes was, and even how to contact them was found by the other party. In this case, unless the two of them did something dangerous, the other party would
There is absolutely no need to kill them.
