The top floor of the Liberty Building.
The bodyguards lined up neatly on both sides of the corridor, with stern faces and strong bodies, and the air pressure around them dropped a bit.
Taylor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and walked inside, feeling uneasy about how to explain this mistake to the mayor and Mr. Buddha.
Squeak~
The door was opened by the bodyguard, and cold air rushed in from inside, which was obviously several degrees lower than the temperature outside.
"Mayor, Lord Buddha!" The visitor stood at the door and greeted in a hoarse voice.
"Taylor, look at what you've done. You didn't catch that Southeast Asian soldier, and as a result, I was impeached by that hypocrite Kevin." Alvin, who was sitting on a high-end leather sofa with a dark face, was furious.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mayor. This was my oversight. I didn't expect Baru to be so capable of escaping a large-scale pursuit by armed police."
"A simple apology can make up for my loss? Taylor, I can't help but doubt your motives. Are you trying to get that Southeast Asian soldier to negotiate with Wu Meng to open the Mekong River waterway, or are you using this as an excuse to bring me down so you can join Kevin? Or are you one of his people, and you're here to play a double-cross on me?"
"That's not the case, Mr. Mayor." Taylor wiped the sweat from his forehead. Kevin supported the Prohibition Act and blocked my financial path. He and I are enemies, so how could I possibly be his man? Please don't misunderstand me. This was truly just a mistake."
Taylor finished speaking and looked for help at Su Junchi, who was leisurely drinking tea beside him. "Master Buddha, we have been working together for several years. You know me best."
Su Junchi then raised his eyelids and looked at Taylor, "Indeed, you have done a good job in the past few years."
"Taylor, I only agreed to work with you for the money, but now it seems that not only can you not help me make money, but you are also a complete idiot. I will not have any contact with you in the future. You're on your own."
After Alvin finished speaking, he looked at Su Junchi.
"Mr. Su, you are my wife's uncle. According to Chinese sayings, I have to call you uncle, but this is Country M, there are no such sayings. To put it bluntly, the relationship between us is mutually beneficial. I provide you with political asylum, and you pay for it. That's all.
I don't want to ruin my political career for a little money, so our cooperation ends here."
After Alvin finished speaking, he stood up, straightened his neat suit, and walked towards the door.
"Mr. Mayor, please let me explain..."
Taylor just walked over and wanted to say something,
puff--
There was a muffled sound as a bullet passed through the silencer and entered the person's head.
Then, he felt a hot current splashing on his face. The person in front of him had bulging eyes, as if in disbelief. He stared at him straightly and fell into his arms.
Taylor had no idea how many lives he had lost. He had seen dead bodies and had killed people, but no matter which time, he had never been as shocked as watching a powerful mayor fall in front of him.
He turned his head mechanically. Alvin was still lying in his arms, his body still warm. "Buddha... Buddha..."
The man opposite calmly put away his gun and brewed tea with a blank expression.
"Leave the body on the ground. Don't worry about it. Someone will come and take care of it."
Su Junchi didn't even raise his eyebrows.
"Master Buddha, if we kill him at this time, something might happen." Taylor put the body on the ground and walked over.
"What does it have to do with us if Deputy Mayor Kevin killed someone? Las Vegas has accidents and deaths every day. It's prosperous on the surface, but maggots are swirling underneath. What's so strange about that? Even the president died, and nothing happened, let alone a mere mayor? Doesn't America have a shortage of greedy politicians?"
"But in the past few years, I've laundered a lot of money through the casino, and he's pocketed quite a bit. If the FBI investigates, I'm afraid..."
"You've only washed a few cents, what are you afraid of?" Su Junchi gave him a disgruntled look. "With such little courage, you still want to open the Mekong River waterway and make money in my way?"
Taylor raised his hand, picked up the Fairness Cup, and poured tea into Su Junchi's cup. "Master Buddha, you are right. I am short-sighted. However, if I kill Alvin, I am afraid your brother and niece will not let it go."
"What niece? She's just someone that A-Tai picked up to entertain himself with." The man said with disdain.
"Master Buddha, Balu, was it your doing that allowed me to escape unscathed this time?" Taylor finally reacted.
Su Junchi then raised his eyelids and said, "There is a saying in China, curiosity kills the cat."
Taylor pursed his lips and shut up awkwardly.
"Opening the Mekong River waterway is far more complex than simply killing a Burmese soldier. Killing Balut will definitely lead to Wu Meng's relentless pursuit, which will only cause more trouble..."
Just when he was about to give the order to kill, the only partner he had ever cared about in all these years woke him up with a word. He then ordered the helicopter pilot, whose finger had already pressed the launch button, to stop the action and fly back.
For this reason, William called to complain that he had wasted an opportunity for promotion.
But compared with the huge wealth that will be gained after the waterway is opened, these setbacks are nothing.
Afterwards, the man called again and said that a man named James was secretly investigating Taylor, William, and Alvin, and soon Alvin was involved in a scandal.
He immediately realized that things were far from as simple as they seemed. He claimed to be a chess master and everyone was his chess piece, but he did not expect that there was a master on the opposite side who had never appeared.
The game of chess became more and more interesting as the game went on. The man, who had not met an opponent for many years, actually felt a little excited.
It has been many years since anyone has aroused his desire to win.
The last time was more than 20 years ago.
That beautiful and elegant woman like a camellia, that girl who had amazed his entire life, holding the chess pieces with her white fingers,
"Achi, if you win this round, I'll agree to be your girlfriend."
During that game, his entire back was soaked in cold sweat. He had never been so nervous even when he was taking the postgraduate entrance exam for her father. He had always been indifferent since childhood, but all his anger was poured into that game of chess.
Of course he won.
How could a girl who was already attracted to him deliberately make things difficult for him? It was just the reserve and subtlety of a lady from a noble family.
But he won the chess game and the beauty, but ultimately lost to fate.
…
Liberty Building luxury restaurant.
The little woman in a haute couture dress was calmly eating her salad, holding a tablet with information sent by James.
As she expected, the accounts under Alvin's name were clean and there was no suspicion.
But the lack of doubt is itself the biggest doubt.
A politician should not have a very clean account.
However, the accounts of Alvin's mother and brother are much more interesting, especially in the past three years, with nearly tens of millions of US dollars in and out of the accounts every month.
A retired old lady and a consultant for a small company, who had no ability to manage huge wealth and could only use an extravagant life to fill the excessive emptiness of her spirit, found the flaw effortlessly.
Nanxi was about to scroll down when her cell phone rang.
