Chapter 92: Muddy Waters (Medium Cup! More Updates) (Ch 812045146)

Lucia is in the warmest season of the year.
Suddenly, a bloody storm broke out inside.
It was late at night in the suburbs of Kalinin, in a small woods near the border.
“Huff, huff…” The breathing sound became more and more rapid, like the sound of pulling a bellows.
Woof woof woof…
I heard sporadic barking of dogs from behind, and the rapid breathing became heavier. At the same time, the figure who made the sound covered the bleeding wound on his arm:
“Damn it, why is my identity exposed? This won’t work. We are still four or five kilometers away from the border. We must hold on…”
Woof woof woof…
The barking of dogs behind him was getting closer and closer. Beads of sweat kept appearing on the man’s forehead. He was about to take out a grenade to set a simple trap.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of wind overhead.
“Damn it! It’s a drone!” The man said with a hint of despair on his face.
“A suspected target was found in block 36.”
“Team Five, Team Six, immediately surround the suspect from both sides. If the suspect resists, beat his hands and feet as much as possible. The superiors require that he be captured alive…”
“receive…”
“action…”
The messy and low Lucia language echoed in the surrounding woods.
Although he couldn’t hear clearly, the man was already in despair at this moment, because the thermal imaging surveillance drone above his head was staring at his position.
The hand holding the grenade tried to pull the safety ring several times, but he was obviously not the kind of warrior who was ready to die. He was just a corrupt rat corrupted by money.
In fact, if he wanted to commit suicide, he would have had the opportunity to shoot himself and would not have tried to escape.
After a while.
There was a rustling sound from the bushes on all sides, and the barking of dogs became more and more intense.
Fearing that he would be mistaken for resistance, he could only shout: “I surrender… Don’t shoot…”
“Drop your weapons, put your head in your hands…”
Soon, five or six dazzling flashlight lights shone on him.
Under the light, a Slav with a curly beard was shaking, holding his head with both hands, blood was dripping from his arms, and under his feet were a pistol and two grenades: “Don’t shoot…”
“Go ahead, be careful.”
“yes.”
Two agents were approaching quickly from behind.
One man cuffs the target.
One person carefully checked the pistols and grenades on the ground to avoid being trapped by the other party.
“Boss, there’s no danger.”
“take away.”
“Huff, huff… Can you help me stop the bleeding… I feel dizzy…” After the target surrendered, the adrenaline surging in his body quickly subsided, making him feel weak and the pain in his body all of a sudden.
The captain of the special agents glanced at him, tore open the shirt near the wound, and after looking at the wound, he sneered and said, “Don’t worry! Mr. Antonio, you won’t die from this injury. I will stop the bleeding for you later.”
“…Huff, huff…” The only sound left of Antonio’s silent breathing at this time was his.
Antonio, like a dead dog, was supported by two agents and came to a road near the woods.
Then they were stuffed into an SUV.
After twists and turns for half an hour, we finally arrived at a secluded villa in the suburbs.
During the half hour in the car, an agent stopped the bleeding from Antonio’s arm wound to prevent him from dying from excessive blood loss.
After being taken into the basement of the villa.
Antonio saw his supermodel lover in the cell next door, and she looked even more miserable than him.
At this time, the dozen or so cells in the basement were overcrowded, with five or six people imprisoned in each cell.
“Haha, I didn’t expect you to be caught too, Antonio…” A pig-headed man in the same cell was looking at him weakly.
Antonio looked at the man’s face, which was black and swollen from being beaten, and only recognized him when he saw the tattoo on his wrist: “Nikolai Ivanov? How did you get in here?”
“Haha, I don’t know where these hounds got the information from, but they raided my office directly.”
“You are not related to that…”
“Haha, why do you think I didn’t receive the notice?” Nikolay Ivanov asked weakly with a wry smile.
“Uh…” Antonio had obviously come to his senses. The network of relationships they had painstakingly built up over decades might have been completely destroyed from top to bottom.
Antonio found it hard to accept this result for a while, but now he was no longer in the mood to care about any network of relationships. He could only hope that these hounds would spare his life.
Another young man with a slicked-back hair, who was leaning against the corner of the wall, hugged his knees with a look of fear on his face, and shrank up like a stressed-out snail.
Suddenly, the iron gate was opened again.
“Alexey Ivanov-Ukovsky, come with me!”
“No… I don’t know anything…” the young man in the corner shouted in horror.
In an instant, the young man’s collar was pulled up.
Next second.
Bang!
A loud slap hit Alexei Ivanov-Ukovsky’s face so hard that he saw stars and his ears buzzed.
In a short while, Alexi’s face became red and swollen.
Antonio finally understood why Nicola was in such a miserable state with a pig’s head.
The agent patted Alexi’s face with a smile, and then said lightly: “You don’t know? Well, you will be shot tomorrow.”
“No! How can you do this? I want to see my lawyer…”
Bang!
Another slap hit Alexi on the other side of the face, and this time he lost a tooth and a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
“Lawyer? Do you know how many people disappear in the Baltic Sea every year? My dear Mr. Alexey Ivanov-Ukovsky? When you chose to betray, why didn’t you think about what would happen to you if you were discovered?”
“Hoohoo… Don’t kill me! I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you…”
“I didn’t even use any force, but you knelt down. How disappointing! I hope you can tell the truth and stop trying to hide it. Look at the other people around you. Even if you don’t say anything, they will. There’s no need to be stubborn.”
“I’ll tell you everything, please forgive me!” Alexi begged, crying bitterly.
The other spineless people in the cell were also feeling frightened at this time.
Soon, under the agents’ all-night interrogation, these spineless people confessed everything.
Although they were just pawns of the Locke Group, these guys did more than just sell out Lucia’s business secrets.
After all, there are very few pure business secrets in this world. The larger the company, the more aspects are involved behind it, and the more in-depth the details are.
This is also the reason why agents need to be dispatched to raid these people.
…
at the same time.
A few seconds of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers in Magong Town.
Although he didn’t know how the various forces would arrange themselves, he didn’t need to know the internal decisions of these forces, because he was the one who sent out those confidential documents. He only needed to look at the target person’s recent situation to know some of the situation.
First, I took a look at today’s international news.
He directly went over the firewall to access the Internet and search for relevant news.
Sure enough, relevant information appeared in the news sections of various regions to a greater or lesser extent.
For example, at a Gaul military base in North Africa, more than a dozen officers boarded a helicopter and plunged into the Sahara Desert, leaving no trace behind.
For example, an oil company’s offshore drilling platform in the Persian Gulf suddenly exploded, and more than a dozen company executives who were inspecting the platform were killed.
The boss of a media company in Siam committed suicide by jumping off a building last night; the CEO of a railway company in Annan died of a heart attack last night; more than 20 managers of a European Union telecommunications company were attacked by a bomb during a company meeting…
Hundreds of news stories like this appeared overnight around the world.
Jiang Miao smiled when he saw these people’s names. These people were only on the list he provided, less than one-fifth of the number. There was more to come.
These capitalists are really ruthless. In order to get rid of the traitor, they directly blew up the drilling platform and the workers on it.
Jiang Miao guessed that the reason why he did not use other means to slowly deal with these internal traitors was that the other party felt that it would alert the enemy, and these internal traitors had already formed a complex network of relationships within the company. If these internal traitors reacted, it would cause even more serious losses to the company.
Therefore, sacrificing a drilling platform and catching all the traitors at once can actually cut the Gordian knot.
In fact, Jiang Miao is also to blame here.
After all, after he sent out these confidential documents, various forces thought that they were the only ones who received them, and they did not know that many forces around the world had received them.
This leads to misjudgment.
After all, the Locke Group is very powerful. They dare not clean up the hidden players of the Locke Group openly, and can only use “accidents” to clean up these hidden players.
If they knew that other forces had also received similar confidential information, they probably would not choose to act secretly, but would use open means instead.
Overnight.
Almost one-third of the various hidden devices deployed by the Locke Consortium around the world were lost.
This situation surprised Noah A. Locke, who had just arrived at Locke Manor in Los Angeles and was about to take over the Locke Group.
Butler Bain looked panicked: “Mr. Noah, this is the news from all the major branches around the world this morning. Some of the branches have even lost contact.”
“Fuck! Are these guys going to kill us all?” Noah A. Locke gnashed his teeth and said, “Bain, strengthen the security of the manor. If you want to destroy my Locke Consortium, I won’t let you have it easy.”
Apparently he had been successfully misled.
In fact, it is not surprising that Noah A. Locke would think this way. After all, when it comes to the level of understanding of the Locke Group, only the other nine major groups within America can know it so well.
Now, the influence of the Locke Group around the world has suffered a devastating blow almost overnight.
Noah A. Locke’s first thought was that other Americana consortiums were behind this and had even joined forces to completely destroy the Locke consortium.
Just as he was having wild thoughts and preparing to die together.
Ring, ring, ring…
The landline phone in the study rang.
Bain quickly reminded, “Mr. Noah, this is a hidden line call. It may be the person behind the scenes of another consortium calling.”
Hearing this, Noah A. Locke frowned, thought about it, and picked up the microphone: “Hello, who is this?”
“Is that little Noah? I’m your Uncle James.”
Hearing the voice and tone on the other end of the phone, Noah A. Locke remembered who it was, but he was in a very bad mood at the moment, and said directly and coldly: “Uncle? I dare not have an uncle like you, when are you going to do it?”
“Noah, did you misunderstand something?”
“Misunderstanding? Hahaha…you’re telling me this is a misunderstanding?”
“Noah, I know you are very angry right now, but I and others did not do this. David’s death has nothing to do with us.”
Noah A. Locke laughed in anger: “Haha, then tell me, why did the Locke Consortium’s influence around the world suffer a severe blow almost overnight? Is there any force in this world that knows more about the Locke Consortium than you?”
“…” The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment: “Noah, calm down. Even if your family loses power around the world, it is still a first-class financial group in your home country and the Americas. I promise that I will never target you, and I will convince others.”
Apparently James was also worried that the Locke Group would be destroyed.
In fact, James and others had already held an internal video conference more than an hour ago, and some of them did propose to join forces to take down the Locke Group.
But it was rejected by James and two other top five consortiums.
After all, the Locke Group is not so weak that it cannot even lift a knife. If they are pushed into a corner and fight to the death, that would be real trouble.
That’s why James called quickly, hoping to calm Noah A. Locke down.
“I can’t believe you guys.”
“Noah, don’t be impulsive. I will visit you at Locke Manor tonight. If other consortiums really want to take action, they have to get past me first.”
“…” Noah A. Locke was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect James to do this, which instantly dispelled his thoughts of dying together: “Uncle James, are you really planning to come over?”
“I’ve said before that this matter has nothing to do with the major local financial groups. I know you don’t quite believe it in your heart, so I can only go to see you in person.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for Uncle James at Locke Manor.”
Hang up the phone.
Noah A. Locke frowned again, with a hint of self-doubt in his eyes: “Is it really not the major financial groups in North America? If so, who is behind the Locke Financial Group?”
Thinking of this, he raised his head and asked seriously, “Bain, has the consortium offended any major forces in other regions recently?”
“This?” Bain pondered and went over recent events in his mind, but he found that the consortium had not made any big moves recently.
After a while, Bain suggested uncertainly, “Mr. Noah, when the master was here, he would write down some of the daily arrangements in the memorandum. You might want to check it out.”
“Memo? Where is it?”
“It’s in the safe in the study, but the combination is known only to the master.”
Noah A. Locke looked at the painting behind him. He knew that his father’s safe was behind the painting, but he didn’t know the password. He didn’t want to waste his brains, so he directly ordered: “Bain, find a professional locksmith to open this safe.”
“good.”
An hour later.
In the study, an old man with a white beard held a special stethoscope, placed it on the safe, and turned the combination dial little by little.
Fortunately, this safe only has a simple five-digit combination.
After about forty minutes, the locksmith finally opened the safe. Butler Bain gave the other party ten thousand US dollars and sent him away.
Noah A. Locke carefully examined the contents of the safe. In addition to various property certificates, bank safe storage accounts and passwords, there were also some gold, silver, jewelry and more than a dozen memo notebooks.
Find the most recent memo.
I turned to the records of the past six months.
Noah A. Locke went through the list page by page, then circled the targets who might have the ability to take action against the Locke Group.
Started watching in the last few days.
‘…repurchased 0.6% of Standard Oil shares…’
‘…support the environmental organization Blue Atlantic with a grant of 30 million…’
“…The head of Greater China was replaced by Wayne, the former head of Southeast Asia, and the former head, Li Rongyao, was removed…”
‘…instruct Wayne to acquire an eel farming company…’
‘…Meeting with Ryan Dupont in Orleans…’
Noah A. Locke looked for a long time but did not find any trace of any major force that might threaten the family.
After all, a small enterprise like Hailufeng Company is not worth mentioning in the eyes of Noah A. Locke. If the problem had not occurred after the head of Greater China visited Hailufeng Company, David would not have recorded such a small shrimp.
Therefore, he was the first to rule out the possibility that Hailufeng Company was behind this.
After eliminating the correct answer.
He continued to check the remaining recent affairs for more than an hour and only found three major forces that might take action.
But when I saw that those three major forces were involved, it seemed a bit far-fetched.
For example, his father funded several media outlets in Hong Kong. His family and other large conglomerates do this kind of thing every year. If we were to strike down the Locke Group just because of this, that would be a bit of an overreaction.
Another thing is that with the help of a hidden agent, he acquired an agricultural company in Lucia. In this business acquisition, some unconventional tactics were used, and the other party would not resort to such drastic measures.
After much thought, Noah A. Locke still couldn’t figure it out.
He couldn’t figure it out, and couldn’t imagine that the real mastermind behind the scenes was the Hailufeng company that he looked down upon.
Before I knew it, night had fallen outside.
James’ convoy also slowly arrived at the gate of Locke Manor.
