Chapter 71 I’ll keep this secret of yours for the rest of my life
When the sun shines on his face, Bai Ye wakes up from his sleep.
He squinted his eyes.
Knox was standing in front of the dressing table, applying makeup.
As she bent down slightly, the full moon outlined by her nightgown...
Like a peach.
"you're awake?"
Knox turned around and looked at Bai Ye with great energy:
"Bai Ye, you are so brave. The entire CIA base exploded last night... I thought you would choose to hunt Matt when he was alone."
"You're kidding, I'm super brave, okay?"
Bai Ye snorted softly, climbed up from the boat, started to put on clothes, and said: "Last night, I promised you that after I helped you deal with last night, the CIA's trouble will not come to me again. If in the future, If I find out that the CIA still has evil intentions towards me, I will hold you accountable."
"I cannot bear this responsibility for an organization as big as the CIA. I can only guarantee that the CIA in the Mexico branch will not cause you trouble. And if you are so promiscuous in the white night, sooner or later you will cause trouble with the CIA in other regions. You can't just put the blame on me at this time," Knox defended.
"Uh..." Bai Ye thought for a while and felt the same way: "Okay, our agreement is limited to the Mexican CIA."
"That's no problem. I can guarantee this for you."
Knox smiled sweetly.
"That's right." Bai Ye suddenly thought of something and asked, "What is your relationship with that CIA deputy director? You are so confident that the other party will not kill you and silence you without spending any money. Are you going to put so much effort into supporting you?"
"Hehe, are you jealous?" Knox said with a smile: "I have known for a long time that a person as narrow-minded as you will be unable to help asking this question sooner or later. Don't worry, he and I are not what you imagined. Relationship, he is my cousin, related."
"Since you have a cousin who is the deputy director of the CIA, why don't you work for the CIA?" Bai Ye asked strangely: "Gangster work is dirty, hard, tiring, and dangerous. How can you be an agent in the CIA? Comfortable?"
"How do you know that I have never worked in a special department?" Knox asked back: "Bai Ye, you are from a chaebol family, so you can only see the surface of many things. Do you think that working in the CIA? Is it easier than being a gangster? Let me tell you, the opposite may be true. The methods of internal struggle within the CIA may be much more bloody and cruel than gangsters, and there is no room for promotion."
"I'm in the special department anyway, and I'm not doing well. I've had enough. I've been close to death many times, but it didn't work out. I didn't get a promotion or salary increase, so I just kept on doing things. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I just jumped out. Get out of that prison and start your own business.”
"After being in a cage for a long time, can we return to nature?"
Bai Ye said smoothly.
"It's more or less the same. Anyway, if I work as a gangster, I can do whatever I want. No one can restrict me, and my life will be much more comfortable." Knox said, "In the special department, I will always be a pawn. , I can’t see any hope of improvement, but now, I have no upper limit, my ability is my ceiling.”
"I probably understand."
Bai Ye nodded.
Not everyone yearns for a stable and peaceful life. There are always people who yearn for a life full of excitement and soaring hormones. Knox's restless ambition is similar to that of Ikana and Wendy. They both want to ignore it. Everything goes up.
Therefore, they are not suitable to be a responsible leek.
Don't sympathize with them, they actually live very freely and happily.
"Is your cousin really trustworthy?" Bai Ye changed the subject and said, "As you said, your job is full of betrayal and bloodshed. A cousin-cousin relationship is not actually reliable. , do you want me to help you warn him again?"
"It's just a cousin relationship, of course it's impossible, but what about a community of interests?" Knox smiled slightly and said, "You wouldn't think that my cousin is a righteous person who can make fearless sacrifices for the United States. A spiritual person, right? He is my white glove, and I am also his black glove. What he takes is the big end, and the five layers of arms revenue and profit go into his pocket. What I take is just the small end."
"Of course, after this incident, he has been promoted, and my power is also expanding rapidly, so the position and relationship should be adjusted. But at the same time... you regard him as a human connection, why doesn't he regard you as a human connection? You have underestimated your status and influence, Bai Ye. The eldest son of the Osborne family is also a very good network resource for the director of the CIA. And I am the intermediary between the two of you. Do you think he will kill the donkey without fear of arousing your resentment?"
"You guys who play tactics have dirty hearts." Bai Ye sighed: "I am a good baby, but you are almost ruining me."
Knox: "..."
When you say this, do you feel disgusted?
Have you ever seen a good boy blowing up a CIA base after a disagreement?
On the table.
Knox served White Night a breakfast of champions, including tortillas, eggs, beans, and meat, all topped with tomato-chili sauce.
Breakfast in Mexican families can be described as "refreshing". All kinds of food are mainly spicy. Even waffles are made with chili peppers, and most of the ingredients are chili peppers and tomatoes.
This area is also known as the "Paradise of Corn," as corn has been the protagonist of Mexican food for hundreds of years. A pancake made with corn pancakes. When eating, you can add grilled chicken strips or beef sauce according to your preference, and then add tomatoes, shredded lettuce, tortilla cheese, etc.
Then Knox stared dumbfoundedly at Bai Yehu eating Heise:
"Bai Ye, I'm really curious, can your stomach hold so many things?"
"Stop talking so much, give me another table according to this standard."
Bai Ye said without any politeness while eating his food.
Knox raised his eyebrows and shouted:
"April, bring another table according to the food prepared today."
"yes!"
Anyway, these foods are not valuable, and Knox doesn't feel bad at all if he prepares ten more tables for Bai Ye.
Soon, another breakfast table came over.
Bai Ye was eating food when he accidentally glanced at her. The maid who delivered the food looked familiar.
After April left, Knox blinked at Bai Ye and said with an ambiguous smile:
"Does it look familiar?"
"Rogelio Torrez's daughter?"
Bai Ye thought for a moment and remembered the girl's identity.
"Yes, you have to thank me when talking about this!" Knox said: "If I hadn't packed up the mother and daughter for you and brought them back, the CIA would have caught your tail long ago. .”
"Bai Ye, I'm not talking about you. When doing big things, you don't want to show mercy. They saw your face, and you carelessly let them live. Aren't you asking for trouble?"
"At that time, I didn't expect that the CIA would react so strongly." Bai Ye spread his hands and said, "I just robbed a few drug lords, but they actually wanted to give me a little Juarez shock. If the CIA hadn't intervened, , what could have been wrong with me doing that in the first place?”
"You are always a reasonable person." Knox smiled: "But you should thank me for this, right?"
"Yes, thank you."
Bai Ye recognized it:
"But the two of us are the murderers who destroyed their family. If you keep her by your side, aren't you afraid of the backlash?"
"This April has something wrong with her brain." Knox said: "She has severe Stockholm syndrome, and now she is a loyal horse under my command. Moreover, her father died in the subsequent gang melee, and If it wasn't the two of us who killed him, what kind of murderers are we two?"
"Okay, as long as you're not afraid."
Bai Ye didn't care, she wasn't hanging around him anyway.
"Then you are quite cruel, Bai Ye, are you suggesting that I eradicate the root cause?" Knox smiled and said: "I thought that after that day, you would be more or less cruel to that mother and daughter unless necessary. , a bit of pity..."
"Don't talk nonsense." Bai Ye said with a serious face: "Other people don't know my physical strength, don't you know? What can I do in just twenty minutes? I just took a very simple photo. I’ve had a dream to be a photographer since I was a kid, right?”
"Then I will drive them away?" Knox said: "As Rogelio Torrez's widow, once they are out of my protection, they will only die."
"Forget it, let's give them a way out."
"hey-hey……"
"What do you mean by laughing? Are you slandering me? You're a good gangster, why are you such a bitch?"
Bai Ye slapped the table hard:
"It seems I can't do it today if I don't teach you, a loud-mouthed woman with a long tongue, a lesson."
…
after one day.
Returning to New York from Mexico during the white night.
Although he was full of energy when he came, he was very cash-strapped when he returned. Bai Ye only came back with about US$700 million in funds.
Because of Bai Ye's many raids, the life of the Mexican drug lords was not easy. There were not many drug lords left. Bai Ye could only replenish his body through quantity. It took a little more work, but the money he received was less. Quite a few.
"Forget it, I won't go to Mexico for the next two years. The roots of the leeks cannot be cut off. They have to be given two years to grow, so that the leeks will continue to grow. If one crop is cut off, another crop will pop up."
Galaxy Capital.
When Jordan saw Bai Ye again, his expression was complicated.
After all, he also cares about current affairs news. Naturally, he heard about the explosion of a CIA base in Mexico. When thinking of Bai Ye's source of funds and the way he handled things in the past, it is not difficult to imagine what happened.
"This boss is getting more and more wild."
Jordan sighed in his heart, and his attitude towards Bai Ye became more respectful.
"Did you encounter any trouble during my absence?"
Standing in Galaxy Capital's office, Bai Ye asked gently.
He looks like a humble gentleman. Who would have thought that this is a person that even the CIA would dare to send on a plane?
Tangtang stood next to Bai Ye with a sweet smile.
She wore a high-quality white dress, and the tulle floated with the breeze, making her even more goddess-like!
The orange flower decoration around her waist adds a lot of color to the whole look. Her hair is slightly rolled up, and the fashionable tulle cuffs are looming, which further highlights her pure and seductive temperament!
Well, Tangtang can be considered one of the shareholders of Galaxy Capital, so it is appropriate to take her to Galaxy Capital from time to time.
After Bai Ye did this, Tangtang naturally felt more love for Bai Ye. He really didn't regard her as an outsider at all!
"Speaking of trouble, there is really one thing that needs you to decide." Jordan thought for a while and said: "When we were shorting the Stark Group during this period, we found that someone had the same idea as us and was also shorting a large amount of money. Stark Group?"
"other people?"
Bai Ye wonders, is there anyone like him who can predict what will happen to Tony?
"etc."
Bai Ye suddenly thought that there was someone who was just as unpredictable as him.
Obadiah Stane!
It was the Ten Rings Gang that this old guy contacted to plot against Tony. Of course he knew that something would happen to Tony, so he could have shorted the Stark Group in advance and made a lot of money for himself.
"I know who it is. This old guy has a really big appetite, and he's not afraid of stuffing himself to death!"
Bai Ye snorted coldly.
Obadie Stan is indeed a capitalist and will not let go of any opportunity to make profits. This is going to knock Tony's bones and suck out his marrow.
Mudd!
Tony is my beloved relative, friend, and brother. If I want to suck his blood, I should be the one to suck it. When will it be your turn, a bad old man like you, to snatch food from me?
"I know, I will take action on this matter."
Bai Ye spoke to Jordan and brought Tangtang to his office.
"Brother, what are you going to do?"
Tangtang squatted in the space under Bai Ye's desk, raised her head, looked up at Bai Ye, and asked curiously:
"If the other party can compete with Galaxy Capital at this time, it must be a big force, right?"
"Not afraid." Bai Ye rubbed Tangtang's head and said with a smile, "I have a way to deal with him."
"Tangtang, you have been a supermodel for four years. You have already touched the ceiling of the supermodel industry. There is not much point in doing it anymore. It seems that you should go to Hollywood to try your luck. You should be able to make money today. With a few hundred million dollars of quick money, I will use it to buy Tangtang a medium-sized Hollywood film company that will specialize in making movies with Tangtang as the heroine."
[Obadi: You are amazing and noble. You use my money as a favor to buy a movie company for your woman? 】
"Oh...brother, don't be so nice to me. I don't even know how to repay you."
Tangtang really wants to cry.
Bai Ye was indeed too kind to her. Which supermodel wouldn't want to make a movie, break away from the supermodel circle, and work in Hollywood?
It's just that they don't have the capital.
The supermodel circle has always been at the bottom of Hollywood's contempt chain. Even if she has reached the position of the world's number one supermodel, she still stands in front of Hollywood's A-list celebrities.
But Bai Ye was able to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to let Tangtang try and make mistakes. He really had nothing to say.
"Fool, aren't you repaying me now? With you by my side, I am more energetic in everything I do. The emotional value you provide me is far beyond your imagination."
Bai Ye rubbed Tangtang's black hair again, laughed, and focused on her computer.
Well, this is a high-end computer customized from IBM, priced at US$500,000, and modified by Osborne Technology. It is used to practice hacking skills during the day, and it is quite easy to use.
…
Stark Group.
"Hi Pepper." Obadie Stan greeted Tony's secretary Pepper Pepper with a smile, smiling like a fox: "Why do you have some dark circles under your eyes? Did you stay up late again? If you keep doing this, Tony will come back. But it will hurt.”
"That guy doesn't feel sorry for me!" Pepper shook his head, rubbed his eyes, and said, "That guy Tony, before he left, he left me a lot of debris that needed to be dealt with. There really wasn't any in the past two days. Have a good rest."
"That's not okay. If you collapse from exhaustion, Tony's life will probably become a mess." Obadie Stan said, "You have to take care of yourself too!"
"I see."
Pepper nodded without retorting.
Obadie Stan's relationship with Tony was like that of father and son. In addition, he also had a good relationship with her, Tony's secretary.
Return to your office.
Obadi took a nice sip of coffee. Soon, the Stark Group will be his, his alone, and he will no longer have to wipe the butt of Tony's undergrown child.
After taking control of the Stark Group, he instantly became one of the few big shots in the entire United States. He could talk to the owner of the White House on an equal footing. How majestic and comfortable that was.
Even Tony's little Pepper Pepper who can't be touched... Hehe!
He, Obadi, is still a treasure trove.
Tony doesn't know how to cherish girls, so he should cherish them for him. Who calls him Tony's good uncle?
After being tortured by Tony for decades, Obadi's mentality was a little distorted. He eagerly wanted to occupy everything that originally belonged to Tony.
"Jingle Bell."
The old ringtone of Obadi's cell phone rang. He took it over and took a look at it without paying attention. He frowned at the unknown phone number. Under normal circumstances, he would not answer calls from strangers, but well, he was in a mood today. Okay, make an exception and give the other party a chance.
"Hello?"
"Hahaha, old guy, what's the configuration of your computer? It's too good for a breakthrough, right? It only took me about ten minutes to do it. It's completely the same as Tony Stark's personal computer. , I spent a whole day, but I couldn’t break through his computer, and I almost got counter-tracked.”
A mechanical voice modified by a voice changer came from the other end of the phone.
Hearing the man comparing himself with Tony and saying that he was far inferior to Tony, Obadi felt an uncontrollable anger in his heart.
Well, the best way to let Obadi break the defense is to say in front of him that he is not as good as Tony.
However, Obadi is also a smart man. He quickly separated himself from the anger and realized the essence of the other party's words. His computer was broken into?
Damn it!
Obadi did not forget that he contacted the Ten Rings Gang by sending an email from his own computer.
"What do you want to do?" Obadi said coldly: "Invade the personal computer of the vice president of Stark Group. Believe it or not, you can be put in prison for 100 years just for this crime."
"I believe it, of course I believe it, but when I go to court and I read this passage to the judge, what will happen? Ahem...I have already sent you Tony Stark's action road map. Yes, Tony Stark must be killed within two days, and I will pay you the balance of $10 million when I see his body."
"Shit!"
Obadi's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He actually knows, really knows, what should he do?
If the news of his murder of Tony Stark became known to everyone, then he would probably have to spend the rest of his life in prison, let alone control of the Stark Group.
Isn't it too funny that he, a rich man worth tens of billions of dollars, would spend the rest of his life in prison?
"Young man, what do you want?"
Obadi said calmly.
In fact, I was already panicking in my heart.
"Mr. Obadi, you don't want to go to jail, do you?" Bai Ye said with a smile: "If you don't want to, then prepare a US$1 billion bearer bond for me and put it on the roof of the Hammer Group in half a day. I can keep this from being exposed."
"Young man, do you know what a billion US dollars is?" Obadi said with a gloomy face: "You can extort so much money from me with just one word?"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just tell me whether you will give it or not. Forget it if you don't give it. Labor and management are not too rare to take your dirty money!"
Hearing such rude words from the other party, Obadi almost spit out blood. Even the owner of the White House did not dare to speak to him like this.
only……
The opponent had the handle in his hand, so he had no choice but to endure it.
"But how can I get all the $1 billion in bearer bonds for you in a short period of time?" Obadi said through gritted teeth.
"Then I don't care, I want it, I want it."
Yes, I want to give it to you?
"I only give you half a day. If you don't succeed, let's meet in prison."
After speaking, Bai Ye hung up the phone directly.
Let Obadi hold the phone and grit his teeth. He swore that if the person who called him was standing in front of him, he would take the money to buy a two-kicker from within the Stark Group and let him enjoy it.
One billion U.S. dollars, what the hell is that? One billion U.S. dollars. His total net worth is just over 10 billion U.S. dollars. He was extorted out of almost one-tenth of it all of a sudden. Isn’t it heartbreaking? How can it be!
A breath stuck in my heart.
Obadi walked around the office, picked up the coffee cup, and took a sip of hot coffee. Suddenly, he threw the coffee cup to the ground, with a "scrapping" sound, and there were broken glass and hot steam all over the floor. coffee, his expression was ghastly:
"You little thing, you've blackmailed me. Very good. I'll give you your life to make money and not spend it!"
After getting angry, Obadi had no choice but to do as Bai Ye said and start raising money. His working capital had previously been put into the stock account of the short-selling Stark Group, and now he was looking for loans from major fund banks. Money is lent and exchanged for bearer bonds.
After coming out of Citibank and getting into the extended Lincoln, Obadie said to the secretary next to him:
"Are you all ready?"
"Don't worry, everything is in place."
The secretary replied respectfully.
"hehe!"
Obadi smoked his cigar and sneered inwardly.
I want to see today how you took away this $1 billion bearer bond from under my nose.
As the world's most powerful military industrial group, Stark Group has its own huge security team. As the vice president of Stark Group, Obadi's power in Stark Group is second only to Tony, and of course he has his own The Confidants Action Team are all elites who have retired from the Navy SEALs.
How could a hacker wandering in the virtual network, who is delicate and frail, realize the power of the Navy SEALs?
Obadie's stretched Lincoln is walking towards Hammer Tower.
Bai Ye's call came at the right time.
"Are you here? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Let me tell you, after this time, I will no longer serve you."
"almost there."
Obadi laughed in anger at this man's stupidity. He was still waiting for him. Even if there was some back-up in the arrangement, if I caught your man, would I be afraid that I wouldn't be able to open your mouth?
"But, how can I believe that after you get the money, you won't tell this matter?"
"You have no choice but to believe me! Old man, you really talk too much nonsense. I'm too lazy to waste my words with you. I'm done."
Obadi: "..."
His anger towards Bai Ye increased even more.
Damn it, when I catch you, I won’t be able to kill you.
Hammer Building.
"I arrived, How about you?"
Obadie carried his suitcase, got out of the car, and came to the roof of the Hammer Building, looking around constantly.
——The property rights of the Hammer Building do not entirely belong to the Hammer Group, nor is it a military secret that ordinary people cannot access. The top of the building is an open entertainment area with an observation deck.
"Your bodyguards have arranged so many things, how can I get out?"
Bai Ye said:
"You put it in the second trash can on your right, the blue trash can, the one for non-recyclable garbage. After putting your things down, you and your people, please leave the Hammer Building. I will naturally go Take it, after taking it, we will be at peace with each other."
Obadi obeyed and walked to the trash can. As soon as he opened it, a pungent smell came out. He quickly put the box down and covered it.
"Very well, you can go."
Bai Ye hung up the phone.
Obadie really left, but well, all the passages leaving the Hammer Building were guarded by his men, and it was absolutely impossible to let a suspicious candidate leave.
Downstairs in the Hammer Building, Obadie sat in an extended Lincoln, smoking a cigar, looking at the roof of the building, his eyes slightly narrowed:
"I want to see who is so bold as to blackmail me."
When he thought of the US$1 billion in bearer bonds, Obadi felt so distressed that his heart throbbed.
pain!
It hurts so much!
A moment later, Obadi suddenly found that his cell phone rang again.
"Thank you boss for your sponsorship. I have already obtained 1 billion U.S. dollars. I'd like to show you my appreciation."
Obadi's pupils immediately widened.
He looked at the secretary next to him with bloodshot eyes.
The secretary was startled, quickly got out of the car, and called to ask about the situation.
"Haha, the manpower you deployed is very elite. I saw it. The defense is tight and watertight. If it weren't for the superior skills of labor and management, I might have fallen into your hands. Unfortunately, I went in. I Are you angry that you came out again?"
While maintaining the call with Bai Ye, Obadi took the elevator to the roof of the Hammer Building and found that the trash can had been broken into several pieces by security personnel, and all the garbage had been turned over, but there was no room for the 1 billion US dollars. Traces of bearer bond boxes.
"Trash, you are all a bunch of trash, I might as well raise a few dogs if I raise you!"
Obadi cursed at his security team.
A weak hacker actually took something away right under his nose. What kind of elite are they?
After venting, Obadi finally ran out of energy. He panted heavily, glared, and yelled at Bai Ye on the other end of the phone:
"Okay, you won. You won and got the money. You should be at ease, right? Young man, let me give you a piece of advice. Take the $1 billion, leave New York, and find a remote place by yourself. , spend the money you can never spend, live a life like a fairy, and don’t ask for trouble anymore.”
"Do you really think that with this mere $1 billion, you can bribe me to keep the secret of your assassination of Tony Stark?" Bai Ye chuckled: "A black-hearted capitalist is a black-hearted capitalist. You are too rich. You I’ll keep this secret for the rest of my life!”
