Chapter 2 Chapter Two
San Francisco, USA.
The helicopter sent Lanzhi to the landing pad of Hua Zhai, and the two bodyguards let her lean out from under the still dancing blades.
The company's security director, Huo Keshen, who once went out to sea with Ling Duyu to look for fire algae, and three important officials from the company greeted him, everyone looked dignified.
The setting sun casts beautiful rosy clouds in the western sky, bathing in the afterglow the half pasture style villa built in the middle of the mountain and covering an area of hundreds of acres.
The herringbone-shaped tile roofs of more than a dozen buildings of various sizes shone brightly.
Hawke said deeply: "Xiao Manzi and the colonel are here. Alas, Chairman, there is some unfortunate news."
Lanzhi took a deep breath and said, "Finally, I'm mentally prepared."
Hawke said with deep pain: "'Naughty Boy' Mo Ge was thrown from the eighteenth-floor hotel room last night, and died tragically on the spot. The assailant was a first-class veteran."
Lanzhi's face suddenly turned pale, without saying a word, she took the lead and walked towards the gate of the main house, not even paying attention to the two Great Dane dogs who jumped up to welcome her.
After entering the hall, five people turned into the corridor leading to the conference hall on the right.
On both sides of the corridor are oak museum-like transparent cabinets full of antiques, and on the walls are masterpieces of famous paintings by ancient and modern masters, all of which were carefully collected by Manocchi during his lifetime.
Xiao Manzi and Colonel Jiesha, who were waiting for her in the spacious study hall, stood up to greet her.
There is a large floor-to-ceiling window at one end of the study hall, overlooking the endless fields and dotted houses under the slope of Nen Mountain, and the blue ocean in the distance.
Except for the bookcases that go straight up to the ceiling, the vacant walls are decorated with the works of Matheis, a master of the Fauvism generation, with highly descriptive lines and bold and vivid colors.
They were Manocchi's favorite collection during his lifetime.
Seeing these things, Lanzhi couldn't help seeing his benefactor and thinking of his respectable and loving father.
Everyone sat down on a set of sofas next to the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Lanzhi and Xiao Manzi sat facing each other on the single seats at the two ends of the long table, and the other five sat on both sides.
Lanzhi's eyes fell on the bunch of flowers that had just been picked from the manor on the long table, and said in a deep voice, "Did you find Ling Duyu?"
Hawke said deeply: "It's strange, he should be in Hong Kong, but there is no one answering the phone in the hotel room. The next morning the operator said that he checked out early in the morning and left in a hurry."
The colonel said: "I am very aware of his character. After seeing the news, he will contact us."
Haike said deeply: "This time Xiaofeng is willing to risk his disobedience and launch a terrorist attack. The reason is not just to demonstrate to us to vent his anger. Now most of the intelligence agencies in the world list him as the number one dangerous person. I don't believe how long he can hide, unless he finds a turtle shell to hide in, but then his sinful kingdom will be taken away by others."
Lanzhi said: "Don't underestimate this man, there are many governments behind him who have ulterior motives to support him, and because his hands and feet are clean, until now, apart from our video tape, there is still no definite criminal evidence in the hands of any government. If he is brought to court, he may still be able to escape, so until now there is no general order to be officially approved."
Turning to Han Li, who is in charge of the oil facilities, he said, "What new project do we have in front of us?"
About fifty years old, Han Li, a fat man with a neat goatee, said: "Two months ago, we obtained oil exploration and exploitation rights in North Africa, and will build a series of refineries, pipelines, chemical plants and fertilizer plants. I understand what the chairman means, and I will cooperate with the local government to strengthen the security there."
Dr. Leska, who is in charge of the company's affiliated research institute, took the initiative: "Great progress has been made in the cultivation of fire algae. Now we have figured out its internal organization. As long as we can develop a method to stimulate its division and reproduction Hormones will be produced in large quantities, and the energy supply of the entire world will be completely changed at that time."
Xiao Manzi said: "The location of Huozao must be kept highly confidential. I have always suspected that Xiaofeng has the support of major oil-producing countries. Under the huge pressure of these nouveau riche who made their fortunes from oil, no government dares to act rashly."
Another company minister in charge of public relations is Lanzhi's cousin Zhike.
He is well-dressed, in his thirties, and is a famous playboy.
At this time, he flipped his meticulous blond hair and sighed: "The government and research institutes around the world have asked us for samples of fire algae. We have always said that we lost them when the sea was attacked, and politely refused. But it seems No one will believe what we say. If we disclose the energy fire algae to let other research institutes work hard, the enemy represented by Xiaofeng at that time will be in vain, and we don't have to bear all the risks alone."
Everyone fell silent.
What he said is not unreasonable. The problem is that the remaining fire algae is only as much as a test cup, and it should be handled with extreme care so that it will not wither. There is not enough for myself, so how can there be any excess to give away? ?
For every research, some are cut off for testing, so this limited amount of fire algae is constantly being consumed.
Because the colonel, Xiao Manzi and Ling Duyu, who went out to search for the fire algae, kept secret about the existence of the fire algae owner, so even Lanzhi didn't know the truth about the source of the fire algae.
Laneige sighed and said: "Our situation is not optimistic. Explorer is an independent company, and it has always stood in the opposite position to several multinational companies that almost monopolize Western oil storage, refining and sales, making them They have long regarded it as a thorn in their eyes that they cannot manipulate the market unscrupulously. Every new law on oil is proposed by the politicians and congressmen they manipulate. If this situation is allowed to develop, one day we will be kicked out of the game , only energy fire algae may give us the power to reverse the whole situation, for my father, for the company, as well as for the environment of the earth and the future of mankind, I must persevere no matter what, even if I lose my life, I will never regret it.”
The colonel nodded and said: "As expected of Manocchi's good daughter, I have gathered a group of trustworthy world-class experts to protect the chairman and the company 24 hours a day, and I am determined to deal with Xiaofeng and anyone who wants to destroy the fire algae research to the end .”
Thinking of Ling Duyu, Xiao Manzi smiled sweetly and said, "Where did the dead ghost go? There is still no call."
The Colonel looked longing for an old friend.
Just then, the phone rang.
Lanzhi picked up the phone, and the peaceful voice of "Alpine Eagle" came from the other end of the line.
Zhuo Chuyuan hurried to the door of the reception room, deliberately slowed down, put on a cold expression, and pushed the door open. Ling Duyu, who was kicking square steps back and forth in the reception room, turned around with great joy, wanting to come over and hug her in his arms. Zhuo Chuyuan put on a clear expression of "Don't mess around", stretched out her jade palm to press his broad face, and said with big hair and delicate eyelashes: "Why do I, Zhuo Chuyuan, want to hug and hug you, a heartless person?" , take advantage of it?" Ling Duyu raised his hands in surrender in distress, and sighed: "Chu Yuan, please spare me!" Zhuo Chuyuan suppressed a smile and said, "Don't move!" Slowly sending her delicate body into his arms, wrapped her jade hands around his neck, and offered a passionate kiss.
The doorbell rang. Nini, who was playing with her daughter, was very surprised. Since she came back from that trip, she took her daughter to live in seclusion in this quiet town by the Baltic Sea. m life. In order to conceal his whereabouts, he seldom interacts with others. During the day, neighbors drop by to chat, but now it's time to get ready for bed in the middle of the night, who will come? The only possibility is "Flying Dagger" Xia Xin, but he is equipped with a key, so there is no need to ring the doorbell at all. Thinking of this, her heart skipped a beat, and she turned on the CCTV that Xia Xin installed for her. On the screen suddenly appeared a person who was hanging in front of the door, shaking without touching his feet, with a knife stuck in his chest, and his clothes were covered with blood. Nini screamed uncontrollably. Although the muscles on that person's face were loose and distorted, she could still recognize Xia Xin, whom she loved deeply. The violent explosive force from the gate turned her and her daughter into blackened powder.
The famous Eiffel Tower in Paris is brightly lit in the distance outside the window of this elegant and quiet restaurant, eye-catching. After Ling Duyu and Zhuo Chuyuan toasted and wished each other, the former looked at her greedily and said, "I will never let you go tonight." Zhuo Chuyuan rolled his eyes at him charmingly, and said, "I'm sorry! This month, I'm used to working until late at night, and only going to bed in the morning." Ling Duyu knew that her remaining anger had finally subsided, and said with a wry smile: "I went fishing for more than a month, and when I came back, I was almost killed by others. Can you show me a little more sympathy, so that I can comfort the poor man? ?” Zhuo Chuyuan gritted her teeth and said, "Then who is going to pity me? I'm not afraid to tell you that I accept invitations from other men from time to time, lest I waste my precious youth for a man who only knows how to be romantic and flirtatious." Ling Duyu shrugged and said, "Is Director Zhuo implying that I will seize the opportunity to propose to you?" Zhuo Chuyuan laughed and said: "If the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet once a year, who would marry a husband who is less common than the Cowherd! Hmph! Don't even think that I will marry you, the lover may still be considered." Ling Duyu laughed dumbly and said: "Miss Zhuo, don't torture me anymore. My little brother's life is on the verge of death. I don't know how many days to live. Are you still unwilling to give me some love?" Zhuo Chuyuan laughed tremblingly, and gasped, "When did you become so dramatic and exaggerated? Are you talking about Xiaofeng?" Ling Duyu said regretfully, "Do you also know about this?" Zhuo Chuyuan said: "The triangular relationship between the explorer, the sun god and Xiaofeng has long been known to the world, not to mention that there was a bomb incident the night before. I didn't know that you were involved, but because of the recent international gangsters. On the list of rewards, you are the most valuable in it, amounting to 10 million U.S. dollars, which makes me proud to have such a valuable friend." Ling Duyu said angrily, "Who else is on the list?" Zhuo Chuyuan said indifferently: "Colonel Jie Sha, Captain Fang Mou, 'Flying Knife' Xia Xin, Fisherman, 'Grand Thief' Johnson, and 'Stubborn Boy' Mo Ge are all well-known figures in the world, but Mo Ge is finished. Yes, he was thrown from the hotel into the street." Ling Duyu was stunned and said, "What?" Zhuo Chuyuan repeated in a low voice. Ling Du's words shot out a sharp divine light, he clenched his fists, and after a moment he regained his composure, and said in a deep voice, "I'm too principled, I should have killed him long ago." Zhuo Chuyuan shook her head and said: "That doesn't change the fact. If Xiaofeng dies, his heirs will do the same, unless he can completely eradicate his well-organized evil kingdom. I just wonder that Mo Ge should remain anonymous. They still found it, maybe the explorer revealed his hiding method because of a traitor." Seeing his hurt look, his heart softened, and his tone turned judo: "Have Xiaofeng's people looked for you?" Ling Duyu shook his head and said: "Yes, there are, but she doesn't look like Xiaofeng. She is the most powerful assassin I have ever met in my life. She not only knows everything about me, but also has insight into my weaknesses." Zhuo Chuyuan realized, "What weakness do you have?" Ling Duyu sighed, "My weakness is Zhuo Chuyuan." Then he told what happened, and said: "This female killer's ventriloquism is nothing to worry about. The scariest thing is that she used the surprise I got because of you, which made me lose my usual sixth sense of inspiration. Now, how could I still not know when the danger came before me, so I hurriedly closed the door by mistake.” Zhuo Chuyuan blushed pretty, and said happily: "It seems that you are not so heartless." Xuan said in amazement: "At least this woman has a recording of my speech, and she knows our relationship well. For example, how long has it been since I saw her, so she can imitate so well. That's really chilling." Ling Duyu nodded and said: "So I have to find you before she arrives, maybe she will show up again at any time." Zhuo Chuyuan shivered and looked out the window at the beautiful night Paris, but what she felt was a lot of murderous intent.
After arriving in South America, the "Grand Thief" Johnson received a call from the colonel, only took his travel documents and cash, immediately left the residence and the woman on the bed, left through a secret exit of the dungeon, and walked to the harbor. There is one of his speedboats moored there, which can quickly send him to the small islands outside the port. The fisherman hides in one of them, which is a secret that only he knows. There is a primitive world without any communication equipment, but it has the fisherman's favorite way of life - blue sky, white clouds, sea and fishing boats. Among the nine people who went to sea, three people were killed, needless to say, they were betrayed by the traitor. Mo Ge, Xia Xin and Nini are all comrades-in-arms who have shared weal and woe, and this deep hatred cannot stop here. They let Xiaofeng go, but this wolf-hearted villain didn't know how to repay his kindness. Now there is only an eye for an eye, blood for blood. Hiding in the woods by the shore, he slowly took out a remote control from his pocket, stared at the speedboat moored by the shore, and pressed one of the buttons. The engine of the speedboat started immediately, making a rumbling sound and the sound of the blades turning in the water. The speedboat rushed forward, but was entangled in the nylon rope tied to the pier. The stern swung away, and the hull was shaking and struggling. Johnson was breathing a sigh of relief. With a "bang", the entire speedboat soared into the sky in the flames, turning into debris that splashed and swirled all over the sky, illuminating the entire coastal area and dozens of boats and boats moored nearby in blood red. Johnson was stunned for a long time before quietly sinking into the darkness. That same night, Captain Fang Mou in Brazil was found forced into a wine barrel and drowned in beer.
Zhuo Chuyuan hurried to the door of the reception room, deliberately slowed down, put on a cold expression, and pushed the door open. Ling Duyu, who was kicking square steps back and forth in the reception room, turned around with great joy, wanting to come over and hug her in his arms.
