Aditya Kuhn had no idea what Jerem Tapa behind him was thinking. Seeing that the other party misunderstood that he wanted to kill him and was frightened and nervous, he did not explain.
"Mr. Jerome Tapa, if I remember correctly, you are one of the biggest smugglers in Rio de Janeiro, right?"
"Uh! Well, Aditya, you know me well. Ever since your father passed away and our smuggling ship was burned down by the enemy, our Tapa family has been in a state of decline in this regard.
Now, we are operating some legal projects, such as the bar just mentioned, which is our largest industry. "
Knowing that Aditya Kun was still serving, Jerem Thapa instinctively became alert and simply lied that he had given up the business.
"Then Mr. Tapa, can you tell me who is the biggest smuggler in Rio de Janeiro right now? I have a business that I want to discuss with him."
Aditya Kuhn, who was sitting in the driving seat, drove the car attentively with an expression that said, "What you say is right, it is right," and he fully trusted the other party. It would have been more convincing if the pistol under his right rib could have been retracted.
His question instantly aroused Jerome Tapa's interest. After rolling his eyes twice, he quickly said:
"The one who did the most is, of course, that bastard Cebrolo Creevey. As far as I know, he has at least 30 ships and a professional smuggling team of more than 200 people. These guys are equipped with a full set of US military equipment. Even the customs anti-smuggling team dare not confront him head-on.
...
...
Radios, refrigerators, bicycles, motorcycles and other products that were shipped into Brazil through his hands are now everywhere, and he has made a lot of money. The police station has also been bribed by him, and no one dares to cause trouble to him. "
Aditya Kuhn nodded upon hearing this and said:
"I wonder if Mr. Tapa would be able to help me arrange an appointment with the other party. I want to discuss cooperation with him."
When Jerem Thapa heard Aditya Kuhn's tone, he seemed to be really interested in cooperating with the biggest smuggler, which made him suspicious.
“Aditya, do you really want to cooperate with them?”
"Of course, this is the mission I came here for."
"But they are all gangs engaged in illegal trade! You are the Brazilian Defense Force! How can you cooperate with them?"
"Who says the National Defense Forces can't cooperate with them? We are just purchasing goods. What does their source of goods have to do with us?"
When Jerome Tapa heard this, he felt terrible. He had thought he could take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate a competitor, but now it seemed that things were out of his control.
Soon he thought of something, his eyes rolled, and he said in a leisurely tone:
“I have no friendship with that bastard Cebrolo Creevey. I still suspect that my smuggling business was destroyed by this guy!
I am lucky enough not to cause him trouble, how can I introduce business to him? "
Jerem Tapa's eyes flickered when he said this, and it was obvious that there was something else behind his words. Aditya Kuhn was not able to hear the hidden meaning in the other party's words, and it was obvious that he was hinting that his father's death was related to the other party.
But his behavior made Aditya Kuhn doubt the truth of his words. Based on his understanding of Jerem Tapa, if this guy was really sure that the other party was the murderer of his father, he would have told him directly long ago. It is impossible for him to insinuate the other party in such a veiled way.
"Mr. Thapa means that this Mr. Cebrolo Creevey is the murderer of my father."
When Jerome Tapa heard this, he waved his hands and said:
"No, no, I didn't say that. I just suspected it, just suspected it."
This behavior made Aditya Kuhn stunned. It stands to reason that this old guy is also a veteran, but he actually showed a little fear towards Mr. Cebrolo Creevey. It seems that this biggest smuggler is really not in vain! Who knows, there may be some big shot behind him that no one can mess with.
He doesn't care whether there is any big shot behind the other party. His current task is only to investigate the smuggling network in Brazil, not to control it.
"Then I wonder if Mr. Thapa can tell me which gang killed my father?"
"This... I'm not very clear about this either. I have been looking for them all these years?"
Jerome Tapa stammered hesitantly.
Aditya Kuhn, with his right hand steering the wheel, pointed his pistol at the opponent and said:
"Could this murderer be Mr. Thapa himself?"
There was a reason why he said that. Although he was still very young when his father died, he still had some impression of the situation at that time. As far as he knew, although his father was a fisherman, he was a generous man and had a high prestige among his brothers.
Moreover, under his leadership, the gang's smuggling business also developed rapidly, making the gang earn a lot of money. But his father's character was careless and had obvious flaws. Because he had saved Mr. Jerome Tapa's life, he always regarded him as a very good friend and did not show enough respect to the boss.
Even his mother privately reminded her husband to show enough respect to the boss, but his father did not seem to mind. Instead, he always said that he and the other party were good brothers and that he saved his life. The other party also always asked him not to treat him as the boss.
Another reason was that Aditya Kuhn remembered very clearly that his father's last smuggling was arranged by Jerem Tapa. Although as the boss, it was understandable for him to arrange things for his younger brothers.
But his father's smuggling team already had complete channels, and unless there were special circumstances, there was no need for the boss to arrange other tasks. And this task directly destroyed the team that was most loyal to his father.
Before joining the army, Aditya Kun did not find it strange. After all, his father's death was a huge blow to Jerem Thapa. He was one of the biggest victims, and no one would suspect him at all.
Moreover, after his father's death, Jerem Tapa took good care of his family. He gave his family money every month so that his family had no worries about food and clothing.
But after he joined the aircraft carrier fleet, he participated in the fleet's cultural studies. As a soldier and an intelligence officer, General Fang arranged for an inconspicuous middle-aged Chinese man to give them several military tactics courses, which gave him a new understanding of conspiracy and intrigue.
He even asked his teacher about his father's situation, and the teacher gave him a dumbfounded speculation, which was that he suspected that this was most likely a play directed and acted by Jerome Tapa himself.
So, this time when he returned to Rio de Janeiro to carry out the mission, he immediately approached his father's former boss to test his father's reaction.
Upon hearing this, Jerem Tapa, who was sitting in the back row, fixed his eyes, his pupils shrank sharply, and his eyes twitched unconsciously. However, he was an old hand after all, and his expression instantly became anxious. He said to Aditya Kuhn in an incredible tone:
“Aditya, your father and I are brothers in life and death, and he is my savior! Do you know how much his death has cost me?
Our smuggling business has been in a state of collapse, how can you doubt me?"
Aditya Kuhn observed the expression on the other person's face through the rearview mirror. Although the other person was very experienced and the panic only flashed by, Aditya Kuhn was no longer the same as before. He was a professionally trained intelligence officer, so how could the changes in the other person's facial expression escape his eyes?
But now this incident happened too long ago, and he had no direct evidence to prove that his father's death was related to the other party. So, even if he suspected the other party, he could not do anything to him.
"Whether Mr. Thapa's smuggling business has really collapsed is not up to you. We will naturally investigate carefully. If the facts are inconsistent with what Mr. Thapa said, I wonder what Mr. Thapa will say."
This time, Jerome Tapa raised his right hand and swore:
“Aditya, go ahead and investigate to see if what I said is true. Right now I only have two smuggling ships, and I can only get some leftovers from others.
If your father were still alive, I wouldn't be like this now, being suffocated by a bastard like Cebrolo Creevey and having to stay on the shore to run these entertainment venues."
The other party's behavior was indeed somewhat beyond Aditya Kuhn's expectations. It seemed that what the other party said was true. If this was true, he would have to re-investigate the cause of his father's death.
However, he soon remembered the change in the other person's eyes. His mind suddenly became clear, and he realized that there must be some unknown secret here. At least this Mr. Jerome Tapa was definitely related to his father's death.
But before he investigates the real situation or obtains real evidence, he really can't do anything to the other party directly.
"So Mr. Thapa is still engaged in the smuggling business. Then why did you tell me just now that you are only engaged in the legitimate business now?"
"Ah! This... this is not considering your current status!"
“Mr. Tapa, we are about to arrive at your home. When we get home, I hope you can take the time to have a good chat with me. Those families are the ones who are engaged in the smuggling business in Rio de Janeiro.
We'd better be honest. I gave this opportunity to Mr. Thapa for my father's sake. If Mr. Thapa doesn't know how to cherish such a precious opportunity, he shouldn't blame Aditya for his ignorance if he suffers any loss in the future."
Aditya Kuhn held the steering wheel with one hand and looked at a three-story building getting closer and closer without looking back.
"Oh! By the way, your children and wife are already asleep. We'd better not wake them up. Is that okay?"
After hearing this, Jerem Tapa understood what the other party meant. He looked unconsciously towards his own small building not far away. The light in the living room was always on when he came home every day, but it was not on today. This made his face look very ugly.
"Aditya, if you have any problem, just come to me. Please don't embarrass my family, okay?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Tapa. I am a soldier with a sense of honor. As long as you cooperate with us, I will never do anything to harm innocent people.
But if you do something impulsive, it is not difficult for us to ensure that you will not accidentally do something you shouldn't do. You are also an old hand, you should be able to understand, right!"
Aditya Kuhn shrugged calmly at Jerem Thapa in the back seat. Then, the car slowly stopped in front of the building.
The bodyguards in the front and rear cars quickly got out and began to stand guard around the area. One of the younger men even ran over to help Jerome Tapala open the car door.
The car door had just opened, and the guy who opened it hadn't figured out what was going on yet, when Jerome Tapa kicked him in the stomach, causing him to lose his balance and fall flat on his face.
"Get out, bastards, all of you useless bastards, get out of here."
The bodyguards around were startled by this sudden change and didn't react for a long time, not knowing what was going on.
Jerem Tapa was also in a state of distress. There were not many people responsible for protecting his safety. As a result, no one knew that the driver had changed. Now the other party had entered his house, and no one noticed. They stood around stupidly like wooden stakes, good-looking but useless. For the safety of his family, he could not tell them the current situation.
Seeing the bewildered bodyguards around him, Jerome Tapa waved his hand weakly and said:
"Let's go! I'll go back by myself."
The younger brother who was getting up from the ground was still wondering how he had offended the boss. He was fine when he got on the car just now, why did he change his face so suddenly? When he heard the boss asking them to go back, he asked as he got up:
"Boss, what's wrong with you? We'll take you home and just wait downstairs!"
It would have been better if this guy hadn't said anything. After he said this, Jerome Tapa became even angrier. What was the point of waiting downstairs when others had already sneaked into the house?
"I told you to get out, don't you understand? Get out, all of you. Come pick me up tomorrow morning."
As he spoke, he waved his hands like crazy, shooing everyone away like flies. The bodyguards around him thought their boss had gone crazy, and they all ran back to the car, not daring to stop for a moment and drove away.
After everyone left, Aditya Kuhn slowly opened the door and got out of the car, looking at Jerem Tapa with a playful look on his face and said:
"Mr. Thapa, you gave your subordinates such obvious hints, but no one noticed anything unusual. Are they too stupid, or are you too unpopular?"
Of course Aditya Kuhn saw all of Jerem Tapa's actions. There were many ways for the other party to get everyone to leave, but he chose the most violent one, which was obviously deliberate.
Unfortunately, the thugs under his command didn't understand what he meant at all. Instead, they thought he was crazy and ran away faster than rabbits.
Hearing his words, Jerome Tapa shuddered all over and waved his hands repeatedly:
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I didn't remind them, Aditya, don't think too much, I believe you won't hurt me and my family, so I didn't mean to remind them at all."
Aditya Kuhn shrugged and said indifferently:
"You should be thankful for their stupidity that saved their lives and your family's lives. You don't think we only have people at your house!"
As he spoke, his eyes casually swept around the house.
Upon hearing this, Jerem Tapa followed Aditya Kuhn's gaze and looked around. He found that there seemed to be dozens of eyes staring at him in the darkness, which made his hair stand on end instantly and he dared not move.
