Chapter 176: This is just the beginning (two-in-one chapter monthly pass)
"Hello, I'm Joey, I have an appointment with Mr. Keeley."
He Ao stood in the wide and bright hall and smiled at the front desk.
The receptionist looked at his face and was startled for a moment. He immediately reacted and picked up the internal phone nearby, "Wait a moment, I want to ask about the CEO's office."
This is the headquarters of Avis Power Group.
Yes, Avis Group is also a company in Chenxi City.
It is a behemoth that ranks among the top 500 in the federation, has a market value of hundreds of billions of federal coins, and has factories and branches spread across dozens of cities in the federation.
Keely has been the CEO of Avis Group for the past two decades.
One of the two victims who responded to Ho Ao last night gave him an important piece of information.
The victim was lucky enough to survive the accident. He noticed the problem with the robotic arm and asked Avis Group to pay him more compensation.
This also led him to meet Keely, CEO of Avis Group.
Keely first calmly reassured him by saying that Avis Group would provide him with adequate compensation.
But the next day, he was arrested for extortion and sentenced to five years in prison.
This incident gave He Ao two hints.
First, as the top leader of the group, Kili knew about the robotic arm. Even if he didn't know, after all the victims came forward, it was impossible for him not to investigate.
This means that no matter what the original origin of this matter was, the top management of the entire group probably knew about it and acquiesced.
Even this matter was originally a plan implemented by the group's senior management to save 'costs'.
After all, it is impossible for one or two executives to cause the same accident in more than a dozen cities at the same time.
The second is that He Ao can rely on the information he has to ask for a meeting with Kili. In order to appease him, Kili will definitely agree. After all, this guy has done the same thing before.
"Mr. Joy, Mr. Keely said he is waiting for you in the general manager's office."
The receptionist hung up the phone and pointed to the elevator next to him, "Go in from there and go directly to the 101st floor."
"Thanks."
He Ao politely thanked him and walked to the elevator with his suitcase.
The receptionist stared at his back until the elevator completely covered his figure, then he reluctantly took it back.
——
The 101st floor is the top floor of the Avis Building, where the CEO office and board meeting room are located.
Keely is a grey-haired, energetic old man. His expensive silk suit is arranged meticulously, and even the hair balls on it are neatly combed.
Of course this was not his own doing, but the responsibility of the servant he hired.
As the actual controller of this behemoth for more than twenty years, Keely has actually entered the top class of the entire federation.
In the entire upper-class circles, he is famous for his ability to bring maximum profits to the consortium at minimum costs.
This is why he has been able to control the Avis Group for such a long time despite not holding many shares.
In fact, many of the top 100 financial groups in the Federation have offered him an olive branch.
"Is it Joey? A hero comes from a boy."
Keely watched He Ao coming over, stood up with a smile and shook hands with He Ao.
His smile makes people feel refreshed, as if they are meeting the kind elders in the family.
He Ao also smiled and shook hands with him, "Mr. Keely, I'm here today..."
"Joy, that's it," Keely sat back on the chair and looked at He Ao with a smile.
"I'm very sorry about your parents. In your email to me, you mentioned that some people in the company changed the maximum service life of the robotic arm. I can assure you that the senior management of the group will never know about this matter. We will definitely
Do you think this is a good idea for strict internal investigation?"
He put his hand on the table, "This is because the group is sorry for you. On behalf of the group, I will make a compensation of one million federal dollars to you. This is the group's money. It has to go through the financial system and the board of directors. I can't give you that much."
,"
At this point, he changed the subject, "However, I can personally decide to pay you two million federal dollars, but all my money is in the investment account and cannot be withdrawn immediately. I only have 200,000 in my account now, which I can directly
For the change you need, give me your bank card account and I will transfer it to you."
After collecting these two hundred thousand, it will start in twenty years.
He Ao has no doubt that when he walks out of the Anvis Group Building, he will enter the Chenxi City Police Station.
Blackmail is calculated based on the extortion amount, but the actual money received confirms the act.
Keely looked at He Ao without making any move, but kept looking at him with a hint of teasing, and was stunned for a moment.
However, his expression did not change, he was still gentle and calm, "If you think the money is not enough, I can discuss with the group to add more,"
At this point, he found that He Ao's expression had not changed, so he added softly, "Of course, we will immediately set up an investigation team to investigate this vicious incident and give your parents justice. If you are willing, you can also participate
Come to this investigation team, and the evidence you have will become our important clues."
This is testing what evidence He Ao has.
At this moment, He Ao finally reacted. He smiled and took out an olive-shaped object from his pocket, held it, put it on the table, and put his index finger through the ring.
Laser grenade.
Keely was stunned for a moment.
"Mr. Keely, don't move," He Ao smiled, "This is true."
When someone wants to falsely accuse you and threaten him, you'd better really have the ability to threaten him.
Keely stretched out his hand under the table and stopped in mid-air. He kept smiling and said, "Joy, don't be excited. You still have a long life ahead of you. There is no need to die with an old guy like me."
"Is it reasonable for people who want others to die without wanting to die themselves?"
He Ao smiled and pulled out a piece of white paper from the printer next to the desktop and handed it to Keely. "Mr. Keely, I'm not here for money. I have only one purpose. I hope you can write down all the information you have about participating in this matter."
List of people, don’t tell me you don’t know, why do you think I came to see you today?”
"I...really...no..."
Killy just wanted to deny it.
Click——
With a sound of metal friction, He Ao directly pulled out the tab halfway.
He Ao stood up slowly and looked at Joey condescendingly. A terrifying and crazy aura spread from him, "Mr. Keely, I no longer have parents or any relatives. I don't mind taking more with me when I leave."
Let’s go…”
Keely looked at this sickly boy stiffly.
Then he slowly picked up the pen and started writing on the white paper.
"Be the first to write your name, mark your address, position, office location, and how to participate in the event. You can lie to me,"
He Ao looked at Keely with a smile, "But guess..."
He bowed slowly and approached the old man little by little. His body covered up the bright light, and the shadow shrouded Keely's cheek. "Do I have a list of my own?"
Keely's movements froze for a moment, and then he slowly wrote his name.
When the first letter falls, nothing stands in the way of the rest of the name.
The rustle of the pen tip across the paper echoed in the quiet office.
Keely wanted to prolong the conversation as long as possible. The conversation time he and He Ao agreed on was only fifteen minutes. If it exceeded this time, the front desk would call to confirm. At this time, he would have a chance to change the situation.
But obviously, He Ao would not give him this opportunity.
Every time he was slower, He Ao would pull the handle of the grenade outward a little, forcing him to write faster.
By the time he finished writing, the grenade ring was about to be pulled out.
A total of fifteen names were written on the paper. He stood up and handed the paper to He Ao. At the same time, his other hand hung under the table and slowly moved towards the emergency alarm button under the table.
He Ao didn't seem to notice this. He stuffed the grenade's ring back, took the paper handed over by Keely and looked at it carefully.
Halfway through, he let go of the hand holding the grenade and reached for a pen, as if preparing to take notes.
At this time, Keely's hand was about to touch the emergency alarm button.
But when he saw He Ao's hand leaving the grenade, the movement of his hand paused.
At this moment, He Ao did not have any weapons in his hands, and it seemed that his attention was no longer on Keely.
Keely, who had already placed his finger on the emergency alarm button, paused for a moment, then passed the button with his fingertips and pressed another button on the side.
A small silver pistol instantly popped out from under the table and fell into his hand.
Without any hesitation, he raised the gun, pointed it at He Ao, and pulled the trigger.
However, the moment he raised his gun, he suddenly discovered that He Ao had disappeared.
What followed was a sharp pain in his throat. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Blood gushed out from his throat, soaking the exquisite and luxurious suit.
He pulled out the dagger from Keely's throat and watched him stagger and fall on the table, with gurgling blood flowing on the expensive solid wood desk.
His eyes were wide open, staring at He Ao.
But He Ao just glanced at him, sheathed his sword, and then reached out to pick up the pen that had fallen aside, smearing it with some blood on the table.
The bright red ink stayed on the paper and crossed out the first name.
Keeley Bass
Then he put the pen back into the pool of blood, took out two pieces of paper from the exquisite hollow embossed paper box on the side, and wiped the blood off his hands.
After doing all this, he put the grenade back into his pocket, picked up the suitcase beside him, and sorted out his clothes, making sure that he had been careful enough not to splatter blood on his clothes.
Then he took out a 'King of Diamonds' from his sleeve, placed it on the blood-stained desk, and then slowly walked towards the door.
······
"Is it convenient now, Mr. Keeley?"
As soon as He Ao went out and before closing the office door, a middle-aged man waiting outside the door stood up from the sofa.
"Who are you?"
He Ao glanced at him suspiciously. The man's nameplate was marked with his name, 'Erwan'.
"I..." Erwan smiled awkwardly, "I am on the optimization list and want to find Mr. Keely... Although I am older, I still work overtime."
"Oh," He Ao looked back and closed the door, "He must be feeling a little unwell now..."
"I know...I know..."
The man sat back dejectedly, "I'll wait a little longer."
"By the way, do you know where Mike's office is?"
He Ao looked at the paper in his hand.
"The elevator in front goes to the 73rd floor, which is 7001." The man stood up and pointed, then looked at He Ao with a strange look, "I can take you there."
"Need not,"
He Ao smiled, then picked up his suitcase and prepared to leave.
Halfway through, he suddenly turned around and looked at the man sitting back on the sofa, "Everything will be fine."
The man was stunned for a moment, then regained his smile and said, "Thank you."
——
The next work is boring.
He Ao coldly sent one person after another on the road, watching them fall in a pool of blood, and then crossed out their names with their blood.
When Howe walked out of the Avis Building, most of the list in his hand was stained red with blood.
He will not take the initiative to kill, but he will give others the opportunity to kill him.
Murder is illegal, self-defense does not count.
Is there a kind person who would not do anything to him?
Unfortunately, no.
In other words, there are no people who can be included in this list.
They all had better options, but without exception they chose to take every opportunity to kill Ho Ao.
This is a habit that cannot be changed.
The habit of treating life as dust.
Of course, when they died, they were very scared and unwilling.
However, He Ao did not just kill people. He also asked for some information. The most important thing was to confirm the authenticity of the list.
After several people confirmed each other, He Ao has basically confirmed that there is no problem with this list.
Maybe it was self-confidence, or maybe he felt that it was useless for He Ao to hold the list, but Keely did not lie to him.
After coming out of Anvis Building, He Ao took a taxi and headed to the Crown District.
Throughout the entire process, He Ao acted calmly and unhurriedly, opened and closed doors gracefully, and finally left the hall calmly.
The security level of Avis Tower is not low, but no one is aware of what has happened.
First, because the time was short and He Ao moved very quickly, and second, because this was beyond everyone's knowledge.
Kill the consortium CEO and many senior executives at the consortium headquarters, and then leave calmly.
Even if this thing really happens in front of their eyes, some people will feel like they are dreaming.
As soon as He Ao left, a secretary discovered a certain executive lying in a pool of blood.
Immediately afterwards, corpses were exposed in front of everyone.
What scares everyone is that the actual leader of the Anvis Group, Keely, is dead.
The Avis Building was sealed off immediately, and everyone was forced to undergo interrogation.
At this moment, He Ao had reached the edge of the Crown District and was walking under a lush tree.
This is the real wealthy area of the Crown District, a green villa area built among a steel jungle.
Here live the famous financial group leaders in Chenxi City, as well as dignitaries and celebrities.
Mayor Winter's manor is also here.
He Ao stopped in front of a villa and gently rang the doorbell.
