Hearing this, Lin Zichen immediately smiled: "Okay, I didn't expect it to be quite fast. Let's go meet Carloni and make arrangements in advance."
"good!"
Several people walked to the room where Carloni was locked up. Carloni now looked very haggard, with such a big injury on his hand. He hadn't slept well in the past few days. His lips were white, his hair was messy, and his eyes were a little dull.
.
Lin Zichen pulled up a chair and sat down, saying: "Caroni, I'm afraid you have to cooperate with us tonight at the Royal Hotel."
Carloni nodded mechanically: "Okay."
"Haha, don't worry, as long as our goal is achieved, you can leave," Lin Zichen lit a cigarette, stuffed it into Carloni's mouth, and said, "You need to follow our way and negotiate with your boss.
Communication, are there any problems?”
Carloni raised his head and glanced at Lin Zichen, then shook his head: "Sir, as long as you can let me leave, I can do anything."
In the past three days, Carloni had been completely fed up. He only gave him two meals in three days, and the meals were limited. Although there was no violence, no one said a word to him. Not only was he hungry in terms of appetite, but also mentally.
The torture has already made him miserable. Now he has only one pursuit, which is to leave this ghost place as soon as possible and leave these guys who cannot be evaluated by normal people at all.
Lin Zichen smiled slightly: "Thank you for your cooperation, Tianlei, arrange a rich lunch for Mr. Carloni today."
"Okay, I'll call the hotel front desk to make a reservation right away."
Soon, the waiter came in with the dining cart. Carloni feasted on it as if he were seeing a relative. You know, this time, Lin Zichen ordered enough food for him, which he had never done in three days.
A full meal.
While Carloni was eating, Lin Zichen asked: "Who is your boss? How big is your underground power?"
Carloni tore off a large piece of meat with his mouth, chewed it and said, "My boss's name is Jones, and he is ranked among the top three in the Ingelan underground world. However, he is a low-key person and usually does not allow us to have conflicts with other forces.
"
Hearing this, Lin Zichen was stunned, Jones? This name is very familiar...
Suddenly, he remembered that when he was doing the Buddhist mission in Linjiang, Jack, who worked with Peng Hu, was from Yinggelan, and his boss seemed to be named Jones!
However, in Ingelan, the surname Jones is still very common, and Lin Zichen dare not make any hasty conclusions.
"Is there a bigger background behind your boss?" Lin Zichen asked.
Carloni shook his head while eating and said: "I don't know about this. Since the business in London is relatively stable, the boss is usually not here, but more in Brightburn City. But I also heard that he often leaves England.
Ge Lan, of course he won’t explain what he does to a small role like me.”
Lin Zichen nodded, maybe this is indeed the case. If this Jones is the Jones in the Buddhist mission, then compared to Carloni, Jack who can go to China to work is undoubtedly of a higher status, so he knows Jones' background.
.
"Let's do this, Carloni. When you meet with your boss tonight, take me with you and just say that I am the Chinese you captured. Do you understand?"
"Understood, sir, can I also have a roast chicken? It's so delicious."
Lin Zichen smiled: "Of course, no problem, Tianlei!"
Sang Tianlei rolled his eyes at Carloni and said, "Damn, I ate so much before I even got anything done. Wait, I'll go get another one."
"Caroni, your boss said on the phone that your people also suffered at the expense of the Chinese?"
"Yes, sir."
"You ask him what happened tonight and find out whether Ingelan's forces suffered a loss or whether it was somewhere else."
"Sir, do you know the content of our call?"
Lin Zichen smiled and said, "You don't need to know, just do as I say."
Later, Lin Zichen taught Carloni some questions and asked him to ask Jones face to face, and Carloni agreed.
After Carloni had dinner, Lin Zichen and others went to the Palace Hotel with him. Jones knew that Carloni had booked an entire floor here, so he must have made an appointment directly in the room on this floor.
It's better to come here in advance and be prepared.
Lin Zichen asked Liang Wentian and the others to take Cole to the smallest room. After all, Jones would definitely not choose that room when he came. They could just stay there.
Lin Zichen and Carloni were waiting in the suite, but there was no news all afternoon. Although Carloni's phone rang frequently, they were mostly calls from his subordinates, and Jones did not contact him.
It wasn't until around 8 p.m. that Carloni's phone rang again, and this time the call finally showed the number of Jones' assistant.
"Mr. Carloni, the boss is waiting for you in room 1706 of the hotel."
"What? I have a private room here, why does the boss need to open another room?" From his words, Carloni vaguely felt that the boss did not trust him.
"You don't need to ask so many questions, the boss is waiting for you here."
"Okay, okay."
After hanging up the phone, Carloni spat: "What a bastard, an assistant can be so arrogant."
"What? Jones made an appointment elsewhere?" Lin Zichen asked.
"Yes sir, he has already arrived at the seventeenth floor and opened a room."
Lin Zichen narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that this Jones was really not that simple. He was wary of his subordinates, and he never notified Carloni, but only let him pass when he got to the room. This shows how cautious he is in doing things.
"Okay, Carloni, let's go find Cole first, and I'll go with you two. The rest will go as planned."
Carloni nodded: "Okay."
If it were in the past, Carloni would definitely take the boss's opportunity and kill Lin Zichen, but now he won't. He had already tried it when he was in the warehouse. He wanted to lure the enemy deeper, but who knew that even Ryan was no match?
, he didn’t want to try again, this time he stood firmly on Lin Zichen’s side.
The reason is simple, he doesn't want to die.
Afterwards, the two of them walked out of the room and went to Liang Wentian's room. Lin Zichen said: "They are already here, but they are not on this floor. Tianlei, you come up with me. Wentian and Wei'er stay on standby."
"
"Yes, Captain."
"Cole, I'm afraid you have to go with me. I, the Chinese caught by you, must be escorted in by one of your men." Lin Zichen said.
Cole didn't know how to answer, so he glanced at Carloni again, who said: "Do everything as Mr. Lin said!"
"Yes, yes Mr. Lin." Cole quickly got up and walked over.
The four of them took two elevators to the seventeenth floor respectively, and Sang Tianlei took it by himself. When he arrived on the seventeenth floor, he saw a Western man in a suit standing at the door of a room from a distance, and he immediately walked away from the corridor.
Be concealed.
Ordinary people would not set up guards at the door when staying in a hotel. Obviously the people inside had unusual identities. Unsurprisingly, the man in the suit was one of Jones' men.
Soon, Lin Zichen and the other three also walked out of the elevator. Lin Zichen had already treated Carloni's hand just now. If you didn't look carefully, there would be no sign that it had been pierced.
At this moment, Cole was standing behind Lin Zichen, grabbing his arms and shoulders and following behind Carloni.
Lin Zichen glanced sideways at Sang Tianlei, and Sang Tianlei nodded. He understood that Lin Zichen meant for him to hide temporarily and wait for an opportunity to deal with the guards at the door.
At the door of the room, Carloni said a few words to the guard, who then opened the door and let them in.
Walking into the room, Lin Zichen found that it was also a suite. In the large living room, a man with a typical European appearance was sitting on the sofa and drinking coffee.
The man looked about fifty years old, with brown hair with some silver threads. He was wearing a gray suit, his tie was slightly pulled down, and the first button of his shirt was unbuttoned.
There were several men in suits standing next to the man, but they were all standing upright, obviously not qualified to sit down.
When Carloni saw the man, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Boss, I'm so happy to see you."
This man is Carloni's boss, Jones.
However, Lin Zichen is not sure yet whether he is Jack's boss. If so, it would be a coincidence. I didn't expect that the quest for Buddha and Nolan's mission would have such an intersection.
Jones raised his eyes and looked at Carloni, then quickly turned his attention to Lin Zichen and said, "Is this the Chinese guy you captured?"
"It's the boss. I have been interrogating him for the past two days, but there is nothing suspicious. He is a student visiting Ingelan. If you hadn't wanted to see him, I would have let him go."
Hearing this, Jones raised his eyebrows slightly: "Let him go? That won't work."
With that said, he stood up and walked towards Lin Zichen and looked at him carefully: "Humph, he is just a child and dares to cause trouble in my territory. Carloni, I will deal with him tonight."
"Yes, boss," Carloni nodded, "By the way, boss, you said that our people have suffered at the expense of the Chinese. What's going on? Is it from Brightburn City?"
Jones shook his head: "No, it's not on my territory. Don't ask about these things. I came here specifically to give you a task."
Hearing this, Lin Zichen seemed to understand something. It was not on his territory, but on the territory of a boss with a similar status to him. Obviously, this Jones had a background. Could he be Bruno of the Green Tiger Group that Jack had mentioned at the beginning?
Branch?
"Mission? What mission?" Carloni asked, obviously it was not his turn to ask Jones any other questions yet.
"A friend of mine lost something very valuable, which can be said to be of immeasurable value, and the thief is the internationally famous thief Tina."
"Tina the Thief? I have heard that this woman has stolen things from the Vatican royal family." Carloni said.
"Yes, we got the news from some channels that Tina has taken a flight to Ingelan, and the destination of the ticket is Lun City!"
But Lin Zichen was stunned. Tina? Lunshi? It seems... the figure I saw at the airport today was not the wrong person, but I didn't expect that this doll-like girl turned out to be an international
