At the Los Angeles branch headquarters of Bank of America, Lanster walked into the lobby with two assistants. The front desk lady politely asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

"I would like to visit Mr. Moriah Johnston." Lanster said.

“Do you have a reservation?”

"no."

The front desk lady said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, sir, you don't have an appointment with President Johnston, so I can't contact you."

"Please call his office for me and tell him that I have information about the bank robbers. Aren't you guys wanted?" Lanster said calmly.

The receptionist was stunned.

"Are you talking about the bank robbery a few days ago?"

“Yes.”

After the front desk lady confirmed it, she immediately picked up the phone and called the president's office. Not long after, she received a message, "Sir, the president wants you to come up."

Lanster met President Johnston in the conference room. Johnston looked at Lanster curiously and said, "You said you have information about the robbers? First of all, I want to make it clear that the bonus we promised is absolutely fine, but it will only be paid after the robbers are caught, so you understand what I mean."

Lanster naturally understood that if he was a liar, he would not get a penny here.

Lanster smiled, took out a business card and handed it to Johnston, "First, let me introduce myself. I am the general manager of HD Security. We now have more than 120 security personnel, and the HD Security headquarters is in Los Angeles."

After listening to Lanster's self-introduction, Johnston's previous vigilance against scammers was reduced a lot. He thought that a company with more than a hundred people would not come to defraud for $20,000.

"I'd really like to hear Mr. Lanster's intelligence," said Johnston.

"My purpose is very simple. I just want to tell Mr. Johnston that we have found the whereabouts of those robbers." Lanster said bluntly.

Johnston was immediately excited.

"Really? Where is it?"

“In Los Angeles.”

Johnston stood up immediately and said, "I will contact the police station now. Tell them the location of the robbers and ask them to arrest them. As long as we find those people, no matter whether they are dead or alive, and whether we can find the stolen money, we will pay you the reward we promised."

"Johnston, please don't be anxious. I still have something to say." Lanster said.

Johnston paused and wondered if the other party wanted to raise the price.

"President Johnston, we at HD Security are very strong in security. All our security personnel are retired soldiers from the battlefield. Each of them has experienced many battles. We hope to become a partner with Bank of America."

Lanster stated the main purpose of this trip.

Johnston frowned in embarrassment, "But we have a security company that we cooperate with, and the previous cooperation has been good."

Lanster smiled.

"The Los Angeles branch of Bank of America has been robbed four times in five years, and the robbers succeeded every time. I am not disparaging the security company, but I think Bank of America may be able to find a better security partner." Lanster said.

Johnston looked at Lanster and asked, "Does HD mean you won't be robbed?"

Lanster shook his head.

"cannot."

A sneer flashed across Johnston's face.

Lanster continued, "But we have the ability to minimize robbery cases and use our utmost energy to track down the robbers, catch them, and give them the greatest revenge, so that they will be afraid and dare not rob your bank again in the future."

"When a bank is robbed, the losses are covered by insurance companies. The bank's losses are not huge, but it has been robbed many times and nothing has been done. What kind of image will Bank of America have in the minds of the public?"

"It's not safe. Banks are supposed to keep customers' money, so safety is their top priority. But now banks can't even protect themselves, so how can they protect customers' property?"

Johnston's expression turned silent.

Bank of America's headquarters is in San Francisco. After the Los Angeles robbery, the president called Johnston and criticized him harshly.

There is a sentence in it that is very similar to Lanster's words.

Because of the series of robberies in Los Angeles, customers' sense of security in Bank of America has been greatly reduced, and the bank's reputation has also been greatly affected. Los Angeles must make changes, otherwise Johnston's position in the management will be considered.

That’s why there was a bounty announcement the next day.

Thinking about the previous security company, he had never been able to defeat the robbers and prevent the bank from suffering losses in several robberies. He began to waver in his heart about cooperating with such a security company.

Johnston touched his temples and finally made a decision.

"If we can successfully defeat the robbers and restore the reputation of Bank of America, I agree to cooperate with you."

Lanster smiled.

He extended his hand to Johnston, and the two shook hands vigorously.

"I'm going to call Chief Ed now and ask them to arrange police forces to arrest people." Johnston said quickly.

"I'm preparing to visit Director Ed now." Lanster said.

Los Angeles Police Headquarters.

Lanster met with Chief Ed. As soon as the two met, Ed asked anxiously, "Do you really have any news about those robbers?"

"Of course."

"Then tell me quickly."

Ed has been scolded a lot in the past two days. The mayor ordered that if the robbers are not caught within half a month, he should be fired. He has been under great pressure these days.

"Don't worry about the robbers. I want to talk to Director Ed about cooperation first." Lanster said with a smile.

"Cooperation, what cooperation?"

Ed asked in surprise.

"We, HD Security, are a formal security company with strong capabilities. We can actually carry out many cooperative projects with the police department."

"For example, in this robbery case, HD has a strong intelligence gathering department that can provide clues to the police."

Ed had to admit that the other party was indeed very powerful. He sent all his men to investigate, but until now they had not found any useful clues.

"For example, our security personnel are all soldiers who have retired from the battlefields of Europe and Asia. They have strong combat capabilities. We can provide sufficient firepower support to the police station or help the police station carry out arrest operations."

Although Ed had never been to the battlefield, he knew how fierce these retired soldiers were, and he had no doubt about Lanster's words.

"But the police station doesn't have the funds for this," Ed said with a frown.

"You can make a suggestion to the government. The day before yesterday, the mayor said in an interview that he was dissatisfied with the current public security in Los Angeles and would increase investment in public security. I think this is a good opportunity." Lanster said.

Ed thought for a while and asked Lanster, "Is the intelligence about those robbers accurate? Are you sure you can catch them?"

"We are absolutely sure." Lanster gave a very affirmative answer.

Ed gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Okay, I will ask the mayor for permission now. If the mayor agrees, the police department is willing to cooperate with your security company."

Ed's communication with the mayor went smoothly.

The mayor has been under a lot of pressure these days, including pressure from Bank of America and public opinion. When Ed said that a security company had found the whereabouts of the robbers and hoped to cooperate with the police, the mayor agreed immediately.

It's all money anyway, whether it's given to the police department or the security department, it makes no difference to him, the key is to solve the problem at hand.

He didn't want to take it off either.

If he successfully resolved this robbery, he would have the capital to brag about it in the newspapers. Increasing security investment to protect the safety of citizens would also be more advantageous for him in the next election.

......

While Lanster was negotiating with Bank of America and the police department, Hardy was not idle either. He once again found MGM owner Mayer.

"I plan to borrow a documentary director from MGM, preferably one with war experience," Hardy said.

Meyer was puzzled.

"Why do you want to make a documentary again?"

Hardy did not hide it.

"You probably know about the Bank of America robbery a few days ago, right?"

"Of course, after the robbery, all the newspapers in Los Angeles reported it. How could I not know about it? And two days ago at a cocktail party, I met Mayor Ross. He told me that he is under a lot of pressure now and hopes that this case can be solved smoothly. Otherwise, his opponents will definitely use these things to attack him in next year's election." Meyer said.

"I have a security company called HD Security." said Hardy.

Meyer didn't respond.

Does this have anything to do with the topic you two were talking about just now?

"After the incident, I asked the security company to investigate the robbers, and I finally found them," said Hardy.

Meyer was a little surprised, but thinking about Hardy's identity, he was Siegel's assistant and might have used gang power, so he was relieved.

The underworld has its own operating rules. If the police want to find a robber, the probability is estimated to be only 10%. However, if the gang wants to find a group of robbers, the probability will probably increase to more than 50%.

"So what do you want a documentary director to do, with war experience?" Meyer asked.

"The robbers are hiding in a place now. We haven't touched them yet. I have asked the director of the security company to contact Bank of America and the police department to help them catch the robbers. I plan to film the whole process and make a documentary. I have already thought of the name, which is "Los Angeles Bank Robbery."

"This case is so popular right now. If it works well, it can be edited into a video and maybe even make some money at the box office."

Meyer now had some idea of ​​what Hardy was saying.

He smiled at Hadi and said, "The biggest benefit is to promote your HD security and make it famous, right?"

Hardy smiled.

He really thought so.

"No problem. I'll ask the company to send you the best documentary director and fully allocate all the equipment." Meyer agreed.

"If you need theater distribution in the future, you can come to me."
