"Why are you doing this?" Balalaika stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and arranged her clothes. Well, if she was unaware, she must have thought that something happened to them before.
To be honest, this matter has nothing to do with Umbrella. Leo Crane's main goal is still HCLI. Now the owner has no reaction. Isn't it good for you, Umbrella, to just watch the excitement?
Xu Chuan looked sideways at the other party and thought to himself, 'If it weren't for the lack of manpower, I would have done it with you. ’
He has been thinking about this for a long time, but the conditions and timing did not allow it.
“It’s nothing, I just don’t like him.” Of course, this reason is a bit far-fetched, but that’s what Xu Chuan really thinks.
Of course, the market share that was given up after Crane's death was just a side benefit.
Balalaika looked at the battle that was still going on in the distance and knew that the matter was irreversible. Just like Xu Chuan said, there was no way the other party would fall out with him because of this matter.
As for whether the Moscow Hotel will cause trouble for Umbrella in the future because of this matter, of course it is for sure, but that will be a matter for the future.
"We want half of the European market." The conditions proposed by Balalaika are almost as big as a lion's mouth. This market is not just for arms, but all the markets that were vacated after Crane's death, including drugs and other illegal businesses such as human trafficking. .
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Don't tell me this, you go find Casper and Zhang Weixin, and you have to take a longer-term view. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to make a big cake together?"
There is no ambition at all to make it bigger and stronger.
Furthermore, if you want it, why should you?
Just like the competitor that Caspian killed before, the whole of Asia was in chaos, and it took nearly half a year for everyone to redefine the spheres of influence.
There was anger in Balalaika's eyes. She had been negotiating with Crane before to get the Moscow Hotel into the European market. Now, whether Crane is dead or not, it has been ruined.
…
On the other side, the attack directed by Smith was coming to an end. Five cars were parked in a mess on the street, and the two cars at the front and rear were on fire.
These vehicles are all bulletproof. After confirming this situation through preliminary investigation, Umbrella directly mounted the AT4 rocket launcher and Gustav recoilless rifle.
As soon as these cars left the underground parking lot and had not driven far, they were hit by heavy fire, knocking off the first and last two cars, leaving the three cars in the middle almost unable to move forward or retreat.
There is basically nothing to say about the rest. The two machine guns of the fire team directly blocked the street. Unless the opponent had all T800s, there would be no chance of survival.
“The assault team reported that no trace of the target was found.” Albert’s voice came through the intercom.
Smith has been observing the situation on the entire battlefield in the command vehicle. Albert led people to check five vehicles, but there was no body of Leo Crane in any of them.
Just as they thought before taking action, Mr. Crane will definitely be more careful after knowing that he failed to take Gina Thorne away.
He may still be in the hotel or have left the hotel through other means. This requires the search team led by Liu He to confirm.
“All personnel will evacuate in groups and then assemble at the dock.” No matter whether this mission is successful or not, they will evacuate. This is the plan that was made before.
Liu He and his people broke into the hotel at the beginning of the attack. They were familiar with this place. After all, Xu Chuan had lived here before.
There was no one in the target's room. Later, Liu He searched the entire floor and found nothing. "Command center, the search team found nothing."
"Understood, you evacuate as planned." It seemed that Mr. Crane was more cautious than they thought.
…
On the other side, Xu Chuan and Balalaika have sat back on the sofa, both waiting for Crane's final news.
Xu Chuan's phone rang first, "I understand." After receiving the news that Crane had not been found, Xu Chuan did not look unhappy.
Balalaika also received a call from her subordinates. After saying a few words, she looked at Xu Chuan sitting opposite with a mocking look, "Is this your plan?"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She really suffered a big loss this time. Not only did the cooperation with Crane fail, but the other party might also suspect that she was involved in the matter.
"So what? Who hasn't had an accident yet?" Xu Chuan stood up and stretched his waist nonchalantly, "Hey, it's a pity that we didn't succeed."
The plan is still a bit hasty. Although they can think of some situations, the corresponding countermeasures and preparations are not very sufficient. Of course, this also has something to do with the manpower. They cannot spread the limited manpower too widely, otherwise no point will be lost. Advantage.
After saying that, he walked towards the door to leave, and turned back before opening the door again, "However, no one can say for sure. Maybe the next accident will happen to Mr. Crane."
He opened the door and walked out. Zhang Biao had been waiting outside. After making eye contact, the two of them entered the elevator calmly.
“Ouch, let me wipe it!” Without anyone else around, Xu Chuan squatted directly on the ground and rubbed the muscles on his arms and thighs hard. It really hurt.
“Boss, are you being beaten?” Zhang Biao and Balalaika’s deputy, the two of them stood outside like door gods, and could hear the movement inside clearly.
“Fart, she was injured much more seriously than me.” Xu Chuanxu clenched his fists, “But to be honest, the big sister’s touch is very good.”
Zhang Biao almost choked to death with his saliva. He dared to take advantage of Balalaika. The boss is the boss. "Smith's side has already evacuated. According to the time, they should have arrived at the dock."
“HCLI’s ship is ready and can take people away at any time.”
“But, boss, do you really believe that bald man can take care of Crane?”
“Don’t underestimate bald people, bald people are legends.”
“Maybe it’s seborrheic alopecia.”
"roll!"
…
Leo Crane had already arrived at the airport. He did not get into any of the five bulletproof cars. Instead, he got into a very inconspicuous car and exited the underground garage ahead of the five cars.
After learning that the convoy was attacked, he immediately changed his driving direction and headed towards the airport.
It is no longer safe here. Some people ignored the consensus reached by all parties in Roanapura and prepared to kill themselves. This incident made him very angry. Although he also did the same thing, the mistakes were of course everyone else's.
“Sir, the plane can take off at any time.” Crane’s assistant called the pilot.
Klein nodded expressionlessly, having already killed Arthur Bishop and those who opposed him countless times in his heart.
There was only one Gulfstream business jet on the runway of the airport. The engine had been started, and Crane's car drove directly onto the runway.
"Take off, take off!" After getting on the plane, Crane sat on the custom-made leather seat and urged the crew to get out of here quickly. He was still worried that the HCLI people would give him a stinger regardless.
The Gulfstream 550 flew away from the runway smoothly. Only then did Crane feel relieved. He took out a bottle of whiskey from the refrigerator and was about to pour himself a glass. Only then did he realize that the person who usually likes to have a fever The flight attendant didn't seem to show up. He looked at his subordinates and asked, "Why isn't Lisa here?"
The other party also didn't notice this. He stood up and walked to the cockpit. Before he reached the position, the cockpit door opened from the inside, and a bald man wearing a one-piece diving suit walked out. .
Just as this guy was about to take out his gun, the other person had already raised the 92FS in his hand and shot him in the head.
The gunshots certainly alarmed Crane, but he could only hold the whiskey bottle in his hand and looked at Arthur Bishop who walked up to him and sat down in front of him in confusion.
Arthur took the whiskey from the other party's hand, found a glass and poured himself a glass of wine.
"Mr. Crane, I hope you won't always think about disturbing other people's lives next time. It's really rude." After saying that, he raised the gun in his hand, made a hole in the other person's head, and then picked up the gun. The cup was drained in one gulp.
Stand up and shoot two more shots at the two corpses, then return to the cockpit to adjust the course and altitude.
After arriving at the predetermined sea area, he directly destroyed the equipment in the cockpit. The attitude of the aircraft had begun to change irreversibly. Then he put on his parachute, opened the door, and jumped out without hesitation.
…
“Top tycoon Leo Crane’s private plane crashed in the waters near the Andaman Islands, and salvage work is currently underway...”, the news was playing on the TV.
Balalaika is not the only one in her office now, Zhang Weixin is also there.
“Perhaps the next accident will happen to Mr. Crane...” Xu Chuan’s words seemed to ring in Balalaika’s ears again.
“Do you think it was that young man who did it?”
Zhang Weixin looked at Balalaika and said, "Is it related? At least he didn't die in Roanapura, otherwise our face will probably be ugly."
Balalaika complained in her heart, "Do you think the other party cares about your face?"
She wanted to ignore the dull pain in her chest, but she still rubbed it when Zhang Weixin wasn't paying attention, "Suka Bulie, that **** really used his full strength."
“No matter what, it’s probably going to be another **** storm.” Zhang Weixin continued to watch the news.
“Many ships have been parked in the sea area where the incident occurred, and the rich man Leo Crane is still missing…”
Everyone knew that Mr. Crane was dead. The plane plunged almost vertically into the sea from a height of several thousand meters, and the entire plane was almost shattered into pieces.
For most people in the world, this news is just a recreational topic after dinner, but for practitioners in related fields, it is an opportunity to strengthen themselves.
The market share controlled by Leo Crane has been vacated just like Labrese before, which makes many people's eyes red.
After all, his size is equivalent to several Labras, and he can eat up many people if he falls.
"I have contacted other people. We need to reconvene a meeting. HCLI and Max Adams in Europe, and by the way, Umbrella." They need to discuss the next countermeasures.
Balalaika covered her forehead, that guy really gave them a huge cake, and of course there was a lot of trouble.
Zhang Weixin agreed. Most of the markets controlled by Leo Crane are in Europe and North America. Compared with Asia, which is right at home, the difficulty seems to be a bit higher, so they need to have multiple allies.
…
"An alliance? Stop talking about it. I'll just say that Zhang Weixin's vision is not good. He can't hold this meeting at all. What qualifications does he and Balalaika have to allocate this ownerless market? In Southeast Asia, because they really Controlling the channels, who do they think they are elsewhere?”
Xu Chuan has already boarded the ship, and Kou Kou has just received the news, "Well, I think so too. Adams will ignore them at all. His business is mainly in Western Europe, and now the markets in Eastern Europe and Russia are there. How is it possible to share it equally with others?”
Of course the Triads and the Moscow Hotel have their own forces in these places, but compared to the local forces, their numbers are not enough. This is still Adams's arms business, and other people like Balalaika have no way to intervene.
Unless you are looking for someone to cooperate, such as HCLI, there is no need for HCLI to conflict with Adams or the local forces in Europe over these matters. After all, their current development direction is not just arms.
Coco finally conveyed the news to Casper and let the other party decide what to do.
Xu Chuan’s phone calls never stopped. Adams called him at least a dozen times, but he didn’t answer any of them.
“By the way, how did you arrange that Gina Thorne?” Xu Chuan finally remembered this unlucky woman.
Koko pointed in another direction, "My ship will take her back to Phnom Penh. This woman is simply unlucky."
Xu Chuan nodded in agreement.
The cargo ship will take Xu Chuan back to Phuket, and then he can fly back to China, while the others will go directly to Myanmar.
The four Smiths are still at the resort in Roanapura. Pike's girlfriend is still recovering. He plans to transfer her to a hospital with better conditions after Sousa's injury improves.
There were no incidents along the way. Xu Chuan was basking in the sun and blowing the wind on the boat, and arrived at Phuket Island smoothly.
According to Li Bing's daily news, Yang Yushun and the others have left Phuket and are now in Bangkok. The shooting plan should be about a week away. Anyway, he has nothing to do with him. Xu Chuan did not go to join them but returned directly to the country. .
What he didn't expect was that the person who came to pick him up turned out to be Miss Xu.
"What's wrong? Something happened?" The girl had a serious look on her face, which startled Master Xu. She asked excitedly, "Is Xu Jiwen bankrupt?" And this is a good thing, you can't go home to eat noodles, you have to... Three fresh braised dishes.
“Brother, that’s your dad too.” Xu Ziwen’s face was speechless.
“No, what’s wrong with you?” I guessed wrong. It’s boring. What a pity.
The two of them got into the car, and the driver turned out to be Wu Liuyi, "Oh, let me go, why is it you?"
"Boss, didn't you ask me to set up a security company? It's almost ready now. Miss Xu's security contract is the first job the company has received." Wu Liuyi was shocked. Wouldn't this person have already set up a security company? Forget about him.
“Oh, I thought you were still recruiting people. It will take until the end of the year to start the business.” Xu Chuan swore to Deng that he had not forgotten.
Miss Xu made it clear that she had something to discuss with him, "Brother, I want to change schools."
"ha?"
For Xu Ziwen, the current courses are no longer difficult, but completely meaningless. She has seriously thought about her life direction these days and is preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination.
Xu Chuan was confused. This kind of thing was out of control for him.
