"You guys are really..." Ralph, who was being pushed out and working non-stop, tried to hold back from swearing, "Oh... there will probably be a lot of big shots coming over tomorrow, and I will arrange the reception room on the fourth floor for you to talk.
"
“Take over the entire floor?” Lynn remembered that the fourth floor of the Old Nanyue Hotel was the conference and business area.
"If you want, you can." Ralph said indifferently, "Anyway, the hotel can't be open now. If it's empty, it will be empty."
Lin En and Reiner looked at each other and inquired about the situation in the living room in a less obtrusive way: "For such a luxurious hotel, the living room must be very high-end. How much does it cost to rent the venue for a day?"
Ralph just thought it was a small talk: "Not much, I come here to rent a venue, I don't care about the money."
Reiner followed up with a tacit understanding, and said in a joking tone: "You know how to make money, so don't you need to charge extra for making a phone call in the conference hall?"
"How is that possible?" Ralph said helplessly, "If you rent a venue, of course everything in the conference hall can be used as you wish."
The routine is over.
There is a telephone in the conference room.
Things have become simpler.
Before the dignitaries come, put the call through to Capa and Osmond, and then we can talk about whatever is needed.
After the group arrived at the conference hall on the fourth floor, the cliché was confirmed.
There are two large conference halls on the fourth floor, one with a long table and the other with a round table. There are telephones next to the tables.
"You can just pick one." Ralph gave the choice to Linn and Reiner.
Lin En and the others can do that.
There are telephones in both conference halls, both are located near the windows for easy escape, and the space can accommodate a large number of dignitaries to come and talk.
Finally, Linn set the location of the conversation in the round table conference room.
The reason is very straightforward. The seats in the round table conference hall are closer to the phone than those in the long table conference hall, making it easier to receive sound.
The location was set and the time came to eleven o'clock in the evening.
"Are you sleepy?" Lynn asked Ralph.
Ralph was not very sleepy: "I'm so sleepy."
Lin En didn't care whether he was sleepy or not: "For safety's sake, we will stay in the same room to rest today."
"you……"
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in men. I just don't want any accidents to happen tonight." Lin En was very cautious.
"Can I refuse..." Ralph didn't want to spend the whole night with these two lunatics.
"What do you think?" Linn patted the pistol on his waist.
"Okay..." Ralph had no choice but to give in.
Ten minutes later, the three of them arrived at the guest room on the seventh floor.
Ralph chose a three-bed room to live in. Since he couldn't choose to go to another room, he tried his best to ensure that there were at least different beds.
However, since he was not actually sleepy, Linn and Reiner had adjusted to the time lag and were now full of energy. The three of them had washed themselves completely and lay on the bed with their eyes wide open.
Finally, in order to avoid embarrassment, Ralph began to pretend to be asleep and snore harshly.
Linn and Reiner still didn't care whether Ralph was asleep or not, they just wanted to make sure that Ralph was under their control. So the two went out directly and started talking outside the door.
"When it's almost twelve o'clock, you will set off to meet up with Capa and Osmond. I will be responsible for keeping an eye on Ralph. When you come back, we will take turns to rest." Linn said.
"Okay." Reiner had no objection.
"If something happens over there, just get them settled and come back to pick me up."
"Well, don't worry." Reiner knew how to react to different situations.
Time flew by, the clock rang at twelve o'clock, and the date came to January 27th.
Ralph actually fell asleep while pretending to sleep.
Linn sent Reiner to the door.
Not only was the corridor empty, but everyone was cleared from the fourth floor up after Ralph's "active" instructions, ensuring that no one would notice that Reiner would secretly leave on the rooftop.
Of course, this time there was no security guard who wanted to go to the Sheriff because of their intrusion and find various ways to help solve the problem.
These people now know very well that Lin En and Reiner came here to negotiate a deal with the powerful. Now that they have called other forces here, not only will they not be able to help, they will also disrupt the transaction process between the two parties and cause big trouble.
"Be safe." Linn patted Reiner on the back.
Reiner had a faint smile on his face: "The worst result is that we leave the imperial capital."
Linn was very satisfied: "Keep this mentality."
"Haha, stop talking and let's go." Reiner waved his hand and walked towards the corridor.
After watching Reiner enter the stairs, Linn returned to the room.
Watching Ralph sleeping soundly, he sat on the small sofa on the side, crossed his legs and closed his eyes to relax.
——
other side
Reiner climbed to the rooftop and used the six-pointed astrolabe to reach the back of the General Security Bureau in eight or nine minutes.
The streets here are now quiet, and there is not a single car parked on the roadside with its lights on.
It must be Capa, and Osmond hasn't settled it yet.
Reiner planned to wait until two o'clock in the morning. If they hadn't come by two o'clock, he would go to the suburban apartment to take a look to see if there had been an accident and they had already fled there.
At one forty-two in the morning, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Because a car drove up at the intersection, and this car was the one they gave to Capa and Osmond.
After Reiner waved his hand several times, the car stopped in front of him. He quickly got in the car, and Osmond, who was in charge of driving, parked the car in a relatively remote place.
"It's done." Capa couldn't help but convey the good news first.
"It only cost one hundred and twenty gold." Osmond raised his lips and handed the remaining thick pile of banknotes in his pocket back to Reiner.
"That's all?" Reiner was a little surprised. Both he and Linn were prepared to spend a lot of money on the square.
Osmond lowered the car window and lit a cigarette: "It's just renting broadcast equipment. How much does it cost? If you come up and give him a lot, he will be afraid that you will do something dangerous and refuse to agree to it.
But if you try your best to lower the price and pretend that you just want to do some commercial promotion at a low cost, you can do it for a hundred or ten dollars."
Reiner admired Osmond's ability to deal with people at the bottom: "Yes, but attracting a large number of people also requires money."
"So I left an extra three hundred gold." After Osmond handed the pile of banknotes back to Reiner, he took out a few more banknotes from his pocket, "These are enough, and if nothing else happens, there should be one left."
Most of it."
"Okay." Reiner refused without hesitation and put away the pile of banknotes. "We have reached an agreement here. At ten o'clock tomorrow morning, the dignitaries will come to the conference hall of the Old Nanyue Hotel to talk. No surprises.
If so, the biggest one among the dignitaries involved, the seventh prince, will also come."
"The venue is set at the Old South York Hotel?" Osmond was a little surprised.
"What? The square you talked about is very close to the Old South York Hotel?"
"That's not true." Osmond exhaled a puff of smoke, "It's just that it's their territory after all, right? After things get serious, when you evacuate, will you..."
Reiner smiled: "Have you forgotten the strength of Lin En and I? Don't worry, you just need to take care of yourselves. When the time comes, Lin En will tell you what to say as soon as possible. All you have to do is to gather as many people as possible in advance.
.We’d better make it ten minutes after the broadcast, everything will be completed smoothly, and you should evacuate as soon as possible and hide in a suburban apartment.”
"clear."
"clear."
Capa and Osmond both looked solemn.
This plan must be foolproof, otherwise it will not cause any effective harm to the powerful.
"Repeat it to avoid mistakes tomorrow. We will get through the phone at about 9:50 tomorrow, and you will be ready to make broadcasts based on the content on the phone at any time, so that the people in the square can hear the crimes confessed by the dignitaries themselves.
"Reiner emphasized the general process after dawn, "We will try to let the powerful people say everything they have to say by ten ten, and then you will take advantage of the chaos to escape and go back to the suburban apartment to wait for us to find you."
"After ten o'clock, even if we are locked in a life-and-death situation with these powerful people, I guess... we still won't be able to stay in the imperial capital," Capa said.
"Now we can only take it one step at a time." Reiner said honestly. "Actually, it is still unknown whether this plan will have a substantial effect. If it succeeds, we may not be able to survive in the imperial capital with dignity. If it fails,
If you don't, then you really have to leave. But there is nothing to worry about. We have gone all out to do it. We are getting stronger little by little. Changing the world is no longer something that can be said to be impossible. This is enough.
Already."
Capa sighed softly and nodded silently.
Osmond finished smoking and threw the cigarette butt out: "You're right! No matter whether this thing can be done or not, it is much more meaningful than the reports I used to weakly attack the powerful. I also firmly believe that when we become stronger,
After that, we can do more things and be more confident in accomplishing them."
