After walking only a few steps, a man ran down the mountain. Andre waved to the man in a drunken state.
"Hey, Price, do you know we're going up the mountain to have a drink with you?"
Price trotted over and leaned into Andre's ear. Just when he was about to say something to him, Andre pushed him away as if he was dissatisfied and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Here
They are all my brothers, and Mr. Cheng is not an outsider..."
Seeing him in this state, Cheng Yu felt relieved. This meant that Andre was really drunk. Otherwise, he would never have said so openly that he wanted to go up the mountain to meet the person on duty for a drink, let alone when the other person was obviously interested.
When reporting your intentions privately, let the other person say it publicly.
Price was helpless and could only say: "Mr. Bill was a little unhappy when he heard that you were drinking. He said that these are troubled times and you shouldn't drink so much."
Andre became angry when he heard this. He squinted his eyes and said as if he had a piece of cotton in his mouth: "Does he really think of himself as the boss? You know, he didn't hire us with money. We usually let him
Looking at him, he really thinks that I have to obey him? I am rarely happy, what's wrong with drinking some wine? Go and tell him, I am going to get drunk today, and now go up the mountain to find my other brothers to drink
.I don’t know what those Americans value in him. Now he is also a lost dog himself, and he comes to us to vent his anger? Ignore him, let’s go!”
Behind him, those holding wine boxes laughed one after another, and each said words of contempt for Lawrence.
It seems that this is also a long-standing grudge. As relatively independent, but usually relying on Lawrence's opinions, these former mercenaries have long been dissatisfied with Lawrence. But because of the money the Americans give them, they are depressed.
It has never been brought up.
Now that I have almost drunk, and with the presence of an outsider like Cheng Yu, Andre and his subordinates all feel that they have been hurt by Lawrence, which is why there is such an obvious backlash.
But Cheng Yu saw it and was a little worried. He didn't know what the grudge was between Andre and Lawrence, but since he had almost decided to take action tonight, he had to guard against these two people joining forces to kill him.
acting.
However, Andre drank at least one bottle of whiskey, which is more than a kilogram and a half of wine. No matter how good the drinker is, it should be about the same, right?
No matter what, Cheng Yu had already kept an eye on it. At this time, there must be no mistakes.
So, Cheng Yu stepped forward, grabbed Andre, and said with a smile: "Andre, I know you want to entertain me, but since Mr. Bill is unhappy, how about we just settle it tonight?
I’m not in a hurry to leave anyway, we can drink again tomorrow and the day after.”
"What are you afraid of?" Andre glared, "That Lawrence, he pretends to be the boss in front of us all day long. In fact, we are all the same. We all work here with American money. We are both in charge.
Come on, why is he telling me so much?"
"Since we are working together, there is no need to create such a disagreement. It will not be good for you to let your boss know. Let's go back first. I will go see Mr. Bill and talk to him. If
If nothing happens, I will come find you again."
Andre said nonchalantly: "What are you talking about? I'm having a good time drinking. Mr. Cheng, don't worry about him. Let's continue drinking. My brothers on the mountain didn't drink a sip of wine tonight. We are just having fun here."
, it’s so unfair to them. Come on, let’s continue going up the mountain, I want to see what that Lawrence can do to me?”
The more he acted like this, the more Cheng Yu became worried, so Cheng Yu suppressed his thoughts and said: "Why don't you go first? I'd better go and talk to Mr. Bill. Don't cause any trouble between you because of my arrival."
There is a contradiction.”
Andre took Cheng Yu's arm and said: "No, Mr. Cheng, don't worry so much, just follow us up the mountain. Don't pay attention to Lawrence. If he dares to chirp again, I will be shot."
he……"
This was a bit too much, and it really didn't sound like he was acting. After all, it was impossible for Lawrence to have any serious suspicions about Cheng Yu. At most, he could just arrange some small interviews to test him.
Andre now looks like he doesn't take Lawrence seriously at all, and even said that he would kill him with one shot. If this is still acting, his acting skills are really comparable to those of the best actor.
But to be on the safe side, Cheng Yu still insisted on going to Xiaobai's house to have a look. After all, Cindy was completely drunk and could not know anything except giggling.
So, Cheng Yu said: "Otherwise, Miss Cindy has drunk too much. I will send her back and talk to Mr. Bill by the way. You go up first, and I will go up to find you soon."
Seeing Cheng Yu's insistence and the fact that Cindy had indeed drunk to an outrageous level, Andre finally nodded and muttered: "Then you have to hurry up. After sending Miss Cindy back,
Go straight up the mountain. As for Lawrence, don't pay attention to him. That idiot has lost his greatest use. Although the American has not made up his mind yet, if he dares to mess with me again, I really don't care if I kill him with one shot. The American
They won’t do anything to me.”
Cheng Yu was shocked after hearing this. Does this mean that Lawrence has lost power with the Americans?
I don’t know if what Andre said is true or not, but if it is true, it means that although the Americans still helped Lawrence leave Chile and come to the Falklands from Argentina, they are already very dissatisfied with him.
.
After all, those in the United States are not politicians. Although they may help Lawrence settle the identity matter, for them, it is not worth the gain. They will never do it easily unless they have to.
Andre's group is slightly lower than Lawrence in terms of sequence, but they are still directly responsible for the Americans. Therefore, if Lawrence now decides to defect to the British, he will inevitably have to get rid of Andre and others.
Or the situation of recruiting Andre and others.
There is no doubt that Lawrence's behavior tonight is not smart. After all, Andre is the master of the gun. Even if Lawrence has a group of people under his command, they are far inferior to Andre in terms of individual strength and overall combat capability.
et al.
At this moment, what he needs to do is to comfort Andre and others as much as possible, instead of scolding them, let alone acting like a boss and being condescending, which will inevitably cause a strong backlash from Andre and others.
.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, Andre has helped Cheng Yu find the point of conflict between him and Lawrence, and Cheng Yu can take advantage of it if necessary.
"Don't worry..." Cheng Yu patted Andre on the shoulder and walked to Cindy.
Just as he was about to drive Cindy himself, Andre said: "You two, accompany Mr. Cheng to send Miss Cindy back. Then, you can wait for Mr. Cheng over there and go up the mountain with him. It will save you money."
He can't get through that door."
After saying that, he pointed to his two men.
Cheng Yu smiled at Andre, put his hands on his back and walked up, but his heart trembled slightly.
Andre had always acted completely drunk before, but with those words just now, he showed a somewhat sober state.
No, Andre doesn't seem drunk, so he is acting in partnership with Lawrence?
Cheng Yu thought, and two of Andre's men had already picked up Cindy and followed him towards Xiaobai's house.
When he walked into the yard, Cheng Yu turned his head and took a look.
The moonlight tonight is not so bright, and there seems to be some dark clouds blocking it. The island looks darker. Even from such a long distance, Cheng Yu cannot see Andre's performance clearly.
However, Cheng Yu, who had doubts in his heart, always felt that Andre's steps were no longer as stumbling as before. Moreover, Cheng Yu had also interacted with the two people who held Cindy many times.
The people who pay attention to him should be Andre's confidants.
Moreover, Cheng Yu remembered that when he and Andre separated just now, Andre specifically pointed at these two people. However, there were actually several former mercenaries around Cindy at that time, and these two people were actually a bit far away from Cindy.
Two people who were a little far away were deliberately found to support Cindy, which seemed to mean that Andre was not as drunk as he showed.
There's something fishy about this...
However, Cheng Yu is also very strange. He should not have shown any mistakes, and Cheng Yu's main target has always been Lawrence. Regarding Andre and the others, Cheng Yu's view is that if he can avoid conflict with them,
Cheng Yu didn't think anything of it. At least with Cheng Yu, they had no reason to die.
So why did Andre do such a thing to himself?
Is it possible that Lawrence really had doubts about himself, so he made such an arrangement?
Cheng Yu felt that he must be more careful.
After entering the white house, the two men sent Cindy into his room, then walked out, pretending to be drunk again, and said to Cheng Yu: "Mr. Cheng, we are waiting for you in the yard.
But hurry up."
Cheng Yu nodded with a smile and ran straight to the reception room.
After taking two steps, Cheng Yu turned his face and glanced at the two people. Although the two people were staggering now, when they were supporting Cindy just now, they seemed to be walking steadily, which made Cheng Yu even more worried.
A little wary.
Lawrence was sitting in the reception room with an ugly face. Seeing Cheng Yu come in, Lawrence narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Lawrence, I'm sorry, today Andre has to..."
Before Cheng Yu could finish what he said, Lawrence snorted coldly: "Huh! That idiot Andre, is he so happy that Peng died? He drank like that."
"Haha, it's okay. I probably didn't drink too much. However, I didn't see that they were happy that Peng died. Lawrence, do you have any misunderstanding?"
"Don't speak for them, that guy Andre, do I still know? He has never been convinced by me and feels that I am not qualified to ride on his head. Those guys who only have limbs and no brains, if it weren't for me,
How could the Americans give them such high treatment? It was me who kept them away from the jungle and no longer needed to use their lives to earn money. They actually have always had dissatisfaction with me. Do you really think I can't tell?"
Cheng Yu walked over, pulled out a chair and sat down: "Are there such big conflicts between you? We all work together and respect each other."
"Hmph! It seems that Andre also said bad things about me just now. That guy..."
Cheng Yu observed Lawrence's performance. Either his acting skills were too good, or he and Andre had been at odds for a long time. The two disliked each other, but they still had to work together.
Judging from Lawrence's performance, Cheng Yu is more inclined to the latter.
So, did Andre have his own thoughts? After all, Andre's drunkenness could almost be considered an act.
Are the Americans really planning to give up on Lawrence? So the two sides who have been grudged for a long time have finally shown their fangs.
"No, no, no..." But Cheng Yu still pretended to comfort him.
"Although your personal abilities are outstanding, Allen, you don't understand these desperadoes. How could you hide their little thoughts from me? Just now, Andre must have said that he wanted to kill me with one shot, right?"
"No, no..." Cheng Yu smiled sarcastically, "Lawrence, you are worrying too much."
"Okay, let's not talk about them anymore. Allen, you have contacted your people, right? What did they say?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Don't worry about this. After contacting us just now, they have issued a basic plan. But you said you wanted to rest, so I didn't bother you. Our people over there said that they don't understand
The situation on the island, so I want to send someone to come and witness it with my own eyes."
"You mean, you British people don't plan to prepare research and development funds for me?" Lawrence looked very dissatisfied.
Cheng Yu smiled slightly and said: "Lawrence, don't be too hasty. After all, this is not a deal that can be done with a few million dollars. This is a long-term cooperation process. It is normal for those politicians to need to understand it more clearly.
But regarding your identity, they said there is absolutely no problem. They will take care of everything tomorrow and send someone over with your British passport.
By then, you will be an upright British citizen.
As long as the follow-up operations are done properly, Cindy will soon be able to return to China and continue to serve as her deputy mayor.
And that mayor, even if there is insufficient evidence to be prosecuted, will not be able to stay in his position as mayor. In half a year at most, when Cindy wins the municipal election, you can return to San Diego at will."
Lawrence still looked very dissatisfied and said: "Why? I have asked Peng to bear everything, why can't I sue the mayor?"
"This depends on the outcome of the struggle between your domestic political parties in Chile, which is beyond our control in the UK.
I'm just talking about the worst case scenario.
Of course, there will be better situations. For example, if the mayor is sued and then removed from office, Cindy, as the deputy mayor, can directly take power as the acting mayor, and there will no longer be any competitors to win the municipal government half a year later.
election.
And you, after the mayor is dismissed, can return to the country as a British citizen."
Lawrence nodded with a dark face. Cheng Yu was right and he understood.
Cheng Yu asked again: "I forgot to ask you just now, how is Peng's current situation?"
"Didn't I tell you right after you walked in that Peng is already dead?" Lawrence said angrily.
Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Lawrence, don't be angry with me. Everything I do is for your own good. I am also giving you suggestions from your standpoint. You don't want to always be on the sidelines."
Are you going to stay on this small island for a while?
As a person, I must help the political party behind me to determine this. If Peng is still alive, there is still the possibility of reversal of this matter. I cannot bear this responsibility.
So, if possible, Lawrence, I would like to see Peng's body so that I can feel completely at ease."
Lawrence slammed the table and said angrily: "Alan, you don't believe me?"
Cheng Yu was not angry and said with a smile: "Lawrence, don't be like this, what we are doing is a big thing, this is not a child's play. It is meaningless to talk about trust. What I need is to ensure the interests of all parties."
, let multiple parties benefit, instead of talking about trust with you here. Even if we are brothers, the situation today will not change in any way."
Lawrence still seemed very angry. He snorted and didn't speak for a while.
"It can be seen that Peng is not dead yet. I know that you have a deep relationship with him. You can't bear to kill him like this. But as long as Peng lives, our affairs may be destroyed. If
It’s not a last resort, and I don’t want to force you to kill your brother. So, Lawrence, please make a decision immediately.”
Lawrence hesitated for a while. He almost gritted his teeth and said: "Actually, I just can't bear it. If I really don't want to kill him, I just need to tell you that I killed him and then put his
Just throw the body into the sea."
Cheng Yu nodded with a smile and said, "So, I'm very grateful that you didn't try to deceive me. However, I have to say that sometimes, a woman's kindness is unkind. Since you are determined to let him take the blame, you must let everything go."
It’s foolproof.”
Lawrence let out a long sigh, stood up, walked to the window and looked at the thick night outside, thinking for a long time.
Finally, he turned around, sighed again, and said, "Okay, I'll take you there now, and you kill him with your own hands, how about that?"
Cheng Yu stood up and said he was ready to leave at any time.
When he walked to the door, Lawrence suddenly said in a dark voice: "If you come forward to take responsibility for the mayor's shooting, you must get rid of Peng. However, Allen, your original suggestion was to let Peng and I take this responsibility together. Then
, did you initially also want to kill me and silence me afterwards?"
Cheng Yu hesitated slightly, but soon, he turned around without any pressure and said with a smile: "Lawrence, you are overthinking. If you want to silence your mouth, I have the choice whether you come forward to take responsibility for the shooting or not."
In the end, you will be silenced. Your value does not lie in whether you are responsible for the shooting, but in your future territory, what do you think?"
Lawrence's eyes were uncertain, but he believed that Cheng Yu was telling the truth.
In fact, what Cheng Yu was thinking was, no matter what, your value is not worth half a dime to me. As long as I have a chance, I will kill you. This is my promise to Vincent.
Back in the room, Cheng Yu took a look at his laptop and found that there were no active windows on it.
After closing the computer, Cheng Yu violently opened the back cover of the computer, took out the hard drive, threw the computer into the trash can, and walked out with the hard drive.
Lawrence had already changed his clothes, and the two of them went out together. The two Andre's men outside the door were still waiting for Cheng Yu. They were slightly startled when they saw that Cheng Yu came out with Lawrence.
When Lawrence saw them, he said very displeasedly: "Why, Andre can't wait to let you spy on me?"
The two were embarrassed, and Cheng Yu hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, they are waiting for me, but I still have some things to deal with with Mr. Bill now, why don't you leave first."
