Just when Owen wanted to turn up the volume and listen more carefully, he suddenly received a call.
"Hug...I'm sorry, are you Eddie's friend?"
There was a woman on the other end of the phone, and she sounded crying when she spoke. Owen frowned.
"Eddie? Eddie Morpheus?"
"Yes, you are his friend, right?"
The woman's voice sounded panicked. After receiving Owen's affirmative reply, the people over there seemed relieved. They were happy at first, and then said eagerly: "That's great, thank God. Please save him~~~"
Save him? What happened to that damn fat man? Owen was confused. They had just talked on the phone not long ago. Why did a strange woman call him now and ask him to save him...
"Wait, who are you? What happened to him?"
Owen parked the car urgently on the side of the road and turned up the volume on his cell phone.
"I am his girlfriend, and he was arrested just now. He was on the phone before, and suddenly a group of people rushed in, all with guns. They put him into a car indiscriminately and took him away. I
I found your phone number in his cell phone, can you save him?"
"Do you know those people? Who are they, official people or his enemies?"
"Sorry, I forgot to mention, those people are FBI, their bulletproof vests all have FBI printed on them..."
FBI?
Owen's first reaction was why the FBI wanted to arrest Eddie, and his second reaction was that the fat guy actually had a girlfriend...
"Okay, I understand, I will handle this matter..."
After a few words of comfort to the woman, Owen hung up the phone. He decided to help the fat man without much thought.
Although that guy was an underground arms dealer, even though that guy was cheap and a glutton, that guy helped him. If it hadn't been for his 2hb, Owen might not have been able to kill those "red rattlesnakes" so easily.
And Owen actually quite likes that guy.
Thinking of this, Owen dialed Chloe's phone number. In addition to providing necessary intelligence support, the data support team in TU was also responsible for external communication.
"Chloe, the FBI arrested a guy named Eddie Murphy. Help me find out why. This person is my informant and is very important to me..."
"Okay, wait for my call."
Owen didn't restart the car and stopped on the side of the road to wait for the call. A few minutes later, Chloe called back.
"Owen, they don't admit that they caught this man..."
Owen frowned, either the FBI people were playing tricks, or Eddie's girlfriend recognized the wrong person. As for someone pretending to be the FBI and kidnapping Eddie, Owen felt that no one would be so stupid at this moment.
Thinking of this, Owen decided to call Monica to confirm, and the call was quickly connected. It sounded a little noisy over there, and Owen said loudly: "Dear, did you just arrest a guy named Eddie Murphy.
"
"What... no, Owen, you know our discipline, I can't reveal the content of the operation."
Monica said there.
"Oh, o on, this is very important to me~~"
"Well, I really can't say. I can only tell you that I just came back from a mission..."
"Understood."
Owen put down the phone. It seemed that the FBI people were playing a trick. The other party must have felt that Eddie Murphy had some value and wanted to keep it in his hands.
Thinking of this, Irving could only call Tony. If the FBI did not admit that it had arrested Eddie, then other methods would be useless. He couldn't rush into the FBI's Los Angeles branch to rescue people. The best way was for Tony to take action.
"Owen?"
"Tony, the FBI arrested one of my informants, Eddie Murphy. This person is helping me find the source of the bomb. But just now I asked Chloe to help me communicate, and they refused to admit that they arrested this person."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Put pressure on the FBI to let him go."
"Is this person important?"
"Yes, it's important!"
"Ok, I'll call Womack and wait for my news."
Owen waited patiently in the car as time passed by.
Ten minutes later, Tony called.
"Owen, Womack agrees to let him go. You will go to the FBI to find his deputy, Benjamin Affleck, in a moment. He will arrange everything."
"Okay, Tony, how did you do it."
Irving occasionally heard people mention that after Tony took over TU, several other power agencies in Los Angeles didn't seem to be too dissatisfied with him, and he didn't know how he did it this time.
"It's very simple. I told him that this person is our informant and he must be released. Tu is the one who takes the lead, so he naturally has priority in all resources. If they want to take advantage, they have to agree with Tu."
Owen's eyes lit up, as if he saw the shadow of Jack Ball in Tony. Jack Ball used to be the head of the Los Angeles Tu. Jack was very capable, just like the best pitcher on a team.
He is well-known in certain circles in Los Angeles, and basically no one at the government offices is willing to offend him.
After he left, it was Tony who took over his job. It was inevitable that some people thought that he was a newcomer and easy to bully, and that he was not so generous because of his seniority.
Tony is using the rules to slap him in the face. Tu is now in charge of this matter, so no one can try to compete with Tu for resources. This will offend some people, but as long as the case is solved, no one can say anything.
"Understood."
Irving was about to hang up the phone when Tony gave another instruction: "Irving, this Benjamin Affleck, try not to offend him."
"Is it a big deal?"
Tony considered his words.
"He is a second-generation official, and he only came to the FBI with a gold-plated job. His father is the current Secretary of State, and his mother is a director of the FBI. If there is no direct conflict, it is best not to offend him."
"Don't worry, I understand."
Irving is no longer dazed now. He understands the importance of connections, especially a guy like Benjamin who seems insignificant but is actually very powerful. Irving will not make enemies for no reason.
He drove to the FBI and soon after reporting the incident, he met Benjamin himself.
This is a young guy who looks very energetic and has blond hair. Irving thought that the other person would act more arrogant after meeting, but he did not expect that the other person would treat him very affectionately.
After chatting for a few words, Owen knew why.
"Steve Irwin? I'm Benjamin Affleck, nice to meet you~~~"
Benjamin stretched out his hand first, and Owen also extended his hand to shake it.
"I watched "Die Hard" last night and it was very good. It is said that this film is based on the previous Zhongchen Building robbery. After I checked the information, I found out that the prototype of the protagonist in it is you.
I also found video materials of that case, and the scene of jumping off the rooftop actually happened. Oh my God, I can’t imagine how you made this crazy decision at that time."
"There is no need to make a decision. In that case, either jump or die..."
"Hahaha, you are very humorous~~~"
No one expected that this Benjamin was actually a fan of "Die Hard". Because of the movie, he also had a great impression of Owen, the prototype character.
"Uh...Eddie Morpheus..."
"Oh, look, I almost forgot about business, come with me, this way..."
Owen soon met Eddie. The guy looked a little sluggish, but he was still very happy to see Owen.
"Thanks."
Owen took Eddie and left without any difficulty from the FBI. Benjamin personally walked Owen to the gate.
