Chapter 28 two partners

Jack was twenty-nine years old when he applied for a job at Webster Enterprises, and it was a sad thing to go to work for someone else after his own business went bankrupt.Carl hired him when he was nearly forty years old. Carl said: "Death and taxes are inevitable things, but there is one thing that never dies-a company." This is what Jack said after telling Carl his business bankruptcy. "So you'll find security here," he added at the end. Webster Enterprises is a huge company. They continue to open subsidiaries in various places, build high-rise buildings, and do various real estate transactions.Carl is the director of the Dalang area office. He taught Jack many business skills. Therefore, they handle the registration of property rights and make loans, serving both the public and Boss Wei.

After nine years, he has forgotten the gangster who ruined him.He didn't become rich, but he had a regular income, and every Saturday, he and Karl played golf together; in summer, they fished together. A year ago a man from Chicago--a former bandit, it is said--had taken over Webster's business. "The company isn't dead, but the ownership can change. Does that affect us?" he said to Carl. Carl shrugged and said, "I have no way of predicting the future. I haven't met the big boss since I worked in the company. We only meet his lawyer occasionally." He argued: "this guy named Kang Desu is a very vicious guy, what does he want to do with Boss Wei?"

"It's a money-making company, and on top of that, he's probably doing some legitimate business to cover up his lawless activities. Times have changed and many gangsters are investing in legitimate causes." A year passed, and he forgot that Condesiu owned Webster Enterprises, but he noticed an increase in activity.Webster Enterprises needs land in the Dalang area for development.They have eight girls who are dedicated to printing contracts and checking the credibility of young customers.For two weeks, Carl and he had to give up golf and work overtime. He complained to Carl: "This office is understaffed, and one of us always has a weekend off."

Carl shrugged. "It's good that the houses in this area are sold out." "Fool! If they are sold out, there will be another batch. Rumor has it that Webster Enterprises is negotiating to order the land of 'Crescent Canyon', preparing to build the largest house in this area." "Wechsler will never get that place," Carl said with a smile, and they parted from the coffee shop and went back to their offices. When he looked up from his desk on Monday morning, he found Carl standing behind him, pale and confused.He told Jack, "Condeso just called."

"Are you kidding, what did you do wrong?" "I don't know, he wants me to go to his beach house, right now." He was worried and waited until Carl came back.When he asked about his situation, Karl answered vaguely. "It seems that I'm going to be promoted, and I'll know in a few days. I... um... um... I'm going to leave the office for a few days, until the end of the week, you can handle everything here by yourself." He watched Carl leave, thinking that if Carl got promoted, then he would be the best person to fill Carl's position. He didn't see Carl until Friday, but he barely recognized him, and Carl looked nervous and restless.

Carl finally told him: "I'm not feeling well, see you on Monday." Jack called Carl on Sunday, and Carl said he was feeling better, but at work on Monday, they didn't get a chance to talk.He gets a call. "This is Condeso," came a deep voice, "come to my beach house immediately." He turned to see if Carl was in his office. "I'm Jack, I'm looking at Carl..." "I want to see you, Jack!" He said, giving him the address of the villa. He couldn't find Carl and must have slipped out of the office.He drove to the beach, wondering all the time in his heart, what does the big boss of a big company want to see a little Poro?He followed the address and found a huge house facing the bay.A servant led him into a study surrounded by stained glass.The first thing he saw was a yacht moored in the dock.

Sitting behind the counter of a bar is Condesuu, a dark-haired man who looks much younger than his age.Others said he was already over sixty.Jack watched him warily as he walked toward him. "Sit down," he said, "and pour you a glass of wine." He nodded to a man who was stuffing documents into a briefcase on a desk and said, "Invins, my lawyer." When the lawyer nodded to him, he nodded too.The lawyer hastily packed up the documents and left. When he turned his gaze to Condesu, he found that Condesuu was pushing a glass of wine to him.Condesuu leaned on the counter, his face was very close to Jack, he had thick lips and a pair of black and thick eyebrows.

"I happen to notice that you are supposed to be the head of an office." "Really? Sir." He picked up the wine. He didn't think that Kang Desu knew of his existence, because the promotion in Webster Enterprises was notified by the supervisors of each unit. He was very sure that Kang Desu had never met them. "Yeah, you've had a great work record for nine years." He grinned like he knew Jack wouldn't appreciate his jokes, "You've been framed before, your business went bankrupt .” Jack is surprised that Condesuu does know about his past.Kang Desu said straight to the point: "Jack, go and take a look at the sales contract that Lawyer Yin Wensi left on the table."

Jack stood up and walked over to the table.The entire contract is to buy the land of the entire Crescent Canyon, the value is only 2% of the current value, and the date was signed three years ago. Condesuus signaled Jack to go back to the counter, "Wechsler Enterprises needs this piece of land, but the owner wants to break the contract, sniff...forget it, the thing is like this, I know you are a notary, if you stamp your notary seal , they will not be able to go back and sign your registration book with a date three years ago." "I see." Jack nodded.He really understands!Condesuus wants to use his notary's seal illegally.He doubted that Condesuu had suggested the same to Carl, and probably hadn't.Ten years ago he also did something wrong, but he was the victim.

In his small insurance business, where he was also a notary, one of his policyholders sold a house and brought his wife with him to witness their signature.He had never met her, but the policyholder introduced her as his wife, damn it!She is not at all. When the real wife heard that half of her home had been illegally sold, she demanded eight thousand dollars in damages from Jack's company, and then the company in question demanded the lost money: his car, his insurance, and Four-year installment payments. "I can't sign an expired date, that doesn't match my good work record," Jack said.

Condesuu himself has a solution.Ask Jack to re-enter the whole record into another booklet, inserting the deed of sale and purchase in the middle, as if it had been made three years ago.Jack could do it, because the registers were not sent to the state until they were filled, and sometimes it took five or six years to fill one book. Condesuu said: "Only by cooperation can we be invincible, otherwise..." He swiped his thumb in the air. The opportunity is here, and it's here.Condesuus assured Jack that there was no danger and that his lawyer knew all the details.If not, Jack will lose his job.Thirty-eight years old, two years away from forty! Condesuus calmly said: "Jack, I like people who cooperate, now that you know about this, do you understand what I mean?" When Jack opened his eyes wide in shock, he hurriedly added, "Will you Make more money, twice," Jack nodded in agreement.He thought, at least he wasn't the victim this time, ha!How did he know that this was the beginning of his nightmare. The victim sued the law because it involved a huge sum of 12 million yuan, twenty times higher than Jack's estimate, and he was called out of court.In court, he was forced to show his record book, which contained a purchase and sale of the property three years ago.The judge took one look and ruled that Webster Enterprises won.The plaintiff's attorney glared at his angry, protesting client as if to question their madness.Invins winked at Jack as he left the courtroom.Condesu was not in Changkar and was transferred to the Los Angeles office.Jack is now the head of the old office, earning twice his original salary.He had called Carl, but Carl refused to play golf on the weekend. Carl said, "Another day!" He kept rejecting Jack for four months. "Wait, Carl! I'll meet you at lunch," Jack said. Carl didn't want to go, but Jack insisted, finally agreed, and agreed to meet at the restaurant.Jack came first, and when Carl came, he told the waiter, "I don't want anything, just a cup of coffee." Karl sat down, looking ugly, his bloodshot eyes, as if from lack of sleep, and he was obviously worried. "You shouldn't have done that." "What? Who told you that." "There is no need for someone to tell me that I knew about the Crescent Canyon real estate sale before Condesuu took over Webster Enterprises, Jack, don't you understand? I know it too well, and you do too! It involves millions of dollars !" "Did Condesuu make you perjure yourself?" "Yes, but I have excuses. My old notarial register has long since been mailed to the State, and the new one has only recently come into use, so I cannot forge a date from three years ago." "Did you tell him that my register is from five years ago." "I have to say." "You could tell me earlier." Jack accused Carl. "Yes, I should have told you earlier. But, they will check. I can't lie. I was promoted to the director of the Los Angeles office in order to silence me. I hope you can refuse them." Jack sighed, "He said that he was going to fire me, and said in a threatening tone that I knew too much. Well, really, Carl, if we cooperate, there will be no danger to Condesuu. " Carl said, "You're a gullible man, Jack," and he picked up his coffee tremblingly, nearly knocking it down. "Listen, I never told you, but—do you remember Anthony? lender." "Of course I remember, he fell off a cliff and died while on vacation." "Yes, I had lunch with him before he died, and he was panicked and depressed. Condesuu asked him to do something that would benefit him personally, so he was promoted to the job of superintendent of loans. But Anthony told Me, he used to work for Condesuu in Chicago, and Condesuu had a way of forcing good people into his circle of gangsters, and when he got them into his circle..." "Will he murder them?" Jack said loudly . Carl whispered, "Sh! No, he didn't say that, no! He used them for other bad things, worse things! He took a sip of his coffee and put down his cup," You never guessed that Anthony was murdered Bar? " "What? He fell into the valley? You're on vacation there, hey, if Anthony was murdered, it was in Chicago." "Maybe... I gotta go, Jack, be careful!" Jack is not willing to be the supervisor of the branch office anymore. The girls in the office always have problems, and it is very difficult to work wholeheartedly.He found himself afraid of the dark and often kept an eye out for vehicles around him. Three weeks later, Jack received another call from Condesuu, asking him to go to the beach. When Jack walked into his study, he was furious.He was wearing a nautical suit, took off his blue nautical cap, threw it aside, and shouted: "What kind of fool are you?" If there was a proper word to answer, he couldn't think of it, so he could only stand there staring blankly. He slammed his fist on the cabinet and said, "What did you do with your old register?" "I threw it in a bundle in the trash can behind my apartment." "You're such an idiot, why don't you Burn it." "Nowhere to burn." "Fuck you, Gandhi got it!" "Who is Gandhi?" Jack asked, feeling his heart pounding. "Who? An informer who wants to interfere and sue Webster Enterprises," Condesuu pointed to the mirror behind the counter, "He installed a bug in my study, and he knows that I am handling confidential matters here. Don't worry, I twisted it off! But he knows we rigged the sale of the property, he made a recording, he has a tape, but it won't stand up in court. He can only blackmail me. But you !He sent people to your apartment and they got the register from you without even fighting. You gave them it yourself in the trash." "You didn't warn me earlier." Condescux muttered, "Yeah! Well, no brains will get you twenty years in prison, that's what Lawyer Invins said, and I'll pay more for the land at what they say, but I won't Let Gandhi take control of the company. Lawyer Invins also said that no matter how you justify it, your falsified register to seek promotion in office is true, we know nothing about it, and we will prove it." "Thank you," Jack was furious, "I'm going to see my lawyer." When Condesuu saw the anger on Jack's face, his expression suddenly changed, "That's the thing, but you still have a choice, would you like a glass of wine?" "Why not?" Jack roared rudely. Now that he had fallen into a trap to swindle things about Crescent Canyon, he was retaliated, and he sat on the stool. "There is no choice." Kang Desu narrowed his eyes, "It depends on whether you have the courage, you go and kill him!" "Murder him?" "You hear me, I'm telling you, Jack, I'm thinking about it. When Gandhi dies, it'll be all right again. You play golf, don't you?" Jack nodded, afraid to speak, "in Gandhi hit a ball on the head while playing golf, that was an accident." Jack growled, "I don't understand. Even if I can throw a heavy ball, I doubt it will be accurate." "You can't miss it," Condesu said with a smirk. "He plays in the valley club where qualifications are restricted, and I can take you in. After he has played a round, he usually practices in the final area. You can stay in the There, when there's no one there." "With a light golf ball?" I wondered. "No, with a hoe! Now, stop whining, damn it! I spent a lot of money on this unexpected idea." "I don't know if I can do it, I have to think about it." "Of course, take an hour to think about it. Go sit on the boat and I'll wait for you here. Just remember that when you get out of prison, you will be very old." Sitting in the sun, Jack thought to himself, "Gandhi is another gangster, and he's coming out to hurt me." He considered further: he had no doubt killed a lot of people.He thought about Carl, how this would affect him.His nerves were on the verge of collapse, and so was he himself. He considered turning himself in to the police, but he also thought that the tipping off must be death, either by being killed or by other means of death. On two occasions, Gandhi was accompanied to practice behind the Valley Club.He always practiced from the 18th hole to the finishing area.The Valley Club is a private club, small and not crowded.The practice area is surrounded by trees and tall, dense foliage, where Jack hides, waiting for his opportunity. Confidence replaces nervousness.He convinced himself that the method of harming others was perfect.On a heavy rivet in the pocket of his baggy coat was a stiff golf ball.He also has the same golf ball to use after head knocking the guy out. For the third time, Gandhi finally practiced playing on the final ground alone.He checked carefully to see if anyone was around, and then, holding the bat in his left hand, he struck a ball in Gandhi's direction while walking towards him.Then, checking to see if anyone was around them, and when there was no one, he struck Gandhi so hard on the right temple that he fell on the grass without a sound, his left face touching the ground.Jack looked around again, then crouched quickly, pressed the ball he had brought against the blood streaming from the wound, and dropped it like it bounced off Gandhi's head.The bleeding stopped and he was clearly dead.He put the iron head that killed people into his pocket, and escaped without anyone noticing.As he walked toward the car, a visual inspection suggested that the fly ball might have come from the fourth or eighth hole.Gandhi's death would have been ruled an accidental death.It was. News reports: "Gandhi, the gangster from Chicago, died unexpectedly on the Valley Club golf course. He turned off the radio and drove aimlessly for hours before returning to his apartment, but began to suffer from the He poured himself a drink and found his hands were shaking. He sat down on the chair and stared blankly at the ceiling. "What did I do?" he yelled to himself, the wine sickening him.He wanted to watch TV, but it was already ten o'clock, and he knew what it meant to be "out of mind".Someone rang the doorbell at eleven o'clock, he hoped it was the police, he wanted to turn himself in!Here comes Condesuu. As soon as he saw Jack's expression, he sneered and said, "Cheer up!"He looked down the aisle, then walked inside. "Relax, you're doing a good job!" Jack nodded. "I feel sick." "Of course you will," he said.He pushed Jack onto the sofa and sat down beside him.He watched Jack swallow, then grinned, "You wish you hadn't, did you?" Jack nodded, "It's okay, I understand, I never let a first-timer sit at home , angry at my first shot." "First time!" Jack showed surprise. "Calm down, of course, you will no longer worry about the first murder, believe me, I know this, it's for your own good." "You're crazy!" Jack stood up and left him. He laughed out loud and said nothing.When Jack turned around, he was lighting a cigarette.There was excitement in his eyes as he exhaled the smoke.It was hard to believe that a man as rich and powerful as Condeso would visit Jack's place.What's even more unbelievable is that he also killed a life for him.Jack wondered if Gandhi was a threat to him?How could Gandhi get close to his beach house to bug it?he's a gullible guy "Is there anyone else on your mind?" Jack asked quietly. Condesuu narrowed his eyes: "A person who is physically and mentally tired, a person who may send you to prison, no matter what else you are thinking about, think about that!" Jack nodded, he was right, he held the handle of Jack's murder.Condesuus had gotten Jack into his circle of gangsters, and when Jack forged that sale and purchase title, he became a gangster.Condesuus used absurd conjectures to lure Jack into murder and make him degenerate.Jack said, "Gandhi has nothing to do with me, does it?" "Think what you like," Condesuu retorted, "but I can tell you who he is, and I can tell you why, your former colleague, Carl!" "Carl?" Jack was taken aback. "What does this have to do with him?" "Everything counts! Karl was the one who went to kill Gandhi. He was in the stadium for two days and he didn't have the guts." "You nonsense! Karl is a good man!" "Nonsense, he and Anthony did a covert trick in your office, and my auditor found it." Jack considered what he had told him, shook his head, and said, "No, if anyone embezzles, it's Anthony, not Carl." Condesuus shrugged, "Maybe that's true, but let me tell you bluntly, it looks like Carl embezzled what Anthony built." "Anthony is dead." "Yeah, guess who killed him?" Jack's knees went weak. "It can't be—Karl?" "Nice accident. Yes, I told Carl that Anthony was messing with him, and he'd be in jail for twelve years, and the only way was to get rid of Anthony. So Carl followed him to the 'Grand Canyon,' and pushed him down. That Shocked him, literally terrified him. If he can get rid of Gandhi, nothing will happen." "So it's up to me to kill Gandhi for you." "You are more sensible. Let me just mention that if you get rid of Carl, you will join the company's board of directors with an annual salary of 25,000 yuan. I mean, you are someone I can trust. What do you think?" "But why did you ask me to kill Karl?" "Somebody's gotta do it! Look, Jack, you're going to lose your mind. Carl is going to give in to himself, he's going to turn himself in to the police. When they start questioning him, he's going to tell about Gandhi, he's going to tell the truth about Gandhi. Tell them about you. Can't you see? He knows you murdered Gandhi, and I don't like having you kill your friends, but there's nothing I can do about it. They can't do anything about me, Attorney Invins says I It has nothing to do with these things, but you..." "What should I do?" "Good boy," he grinned, "with a shotgun. They can't find small bullets. Go to his house now, go through the back door of his house, and he will recognize your voice.Get rid of him and leave quickly. " "I'm his best friend and the police will ask." "You hurry to the beach, Invins and I will swear you'll be there all night. The servants are on leave, and now, don't worry, it's planned." "Where's the shotgun?" "I've got one in the car, come downstairs with me," he said. Jack went out with Condesuus, who gave him a shotgun wrapped in a blanket and warned him that it was loaded.Jack told him to fetch his coat and be on his way.Condesuu drove off while Jack climbed the stairs.Jack enters the apartment and heads for the kitchen. "Carl," Jack called. Jack knew Carl was in the kitchen.He had called Carl earlier to come over, and Carl always came up the back stairs because he knew he could park in front of Jack's garage that way.Carl paled when Jack pushed open the kitchen door.Jack asked, "How much did you hear?" "I was coming in when he rang the bell. Well, now you know I'm in a mess! I tried to warn you not to get involved. "Jack asked him:" Did you really kill Anthony? " He nodded and moaned lowly, "Yes, Anthony framed me, I was so angry that I pushed him off the cliff, but after that I..." "Carl, I still have a shotgun in the closet, I think the only The way out is to the sea." "The sea!" Carl's eyes widened. "Kill the two despicable guys. I guess Condeso and Attorney Yin Wensi are alone there. I have a hunch that only the two of them know about us." Carl nodded.So, like partners on a mission, the two of them set out for the seashore with great confidence.Carr said: "The biggest trouble with Condesuus is that he has no close friends." "Yes, I agree, he can persuade a man to do anything—except fidelity." It was three o'clock in the morning when they rang Condeso's doorbell, he opened the door, and Jack pointed a gun at him.They took him hostage into the study.Lawyer Yin Wensi was not there. "Where's Invins?" Jack asked him. "Fuck you." Kang Desu said angrily. Jack motioned to Carl and ran upstairs, where he found Attorney Invins on the bed.Invins sat up when he turned on the light. "How..." he started screaming, and Jack shot him dead. As soon as the gunfire stopped, there was a second gunshot downstairs.Jack runs downstairs and finds Carl gesturing for him to leave. Jack glanced at Condesuu lying on the floor, and ran out quickly with Carl. They drove fifty miles away and dropped their shotguns on a bridge.Then stop the car and drink coffee.They sat opposite each other in silence.Carl breaks the silence: "Can you play golf on Saturday?" Jack stared at him dumbfounded, then grinned suddenly, "I don't see any reason not to play, Carl." "I'll pick you up at eight o'clock, Jack." A news item was published in the Sunday newspaper: A man was accidentally shot in the back of the head while playing golf and died.
