Manhattan Reborn 1978

In front of Bonini's restaurant, Polly was standing at the door with Andy and George, chatting.

The three of them saw Ludy and David who had arrived late.

Polly waved to them: "Where are you going? Why are you so late?"

Ludy smiled and greeted Andy and George.

David and Andy said, "Where's Rhett? Isn't he here?"

Andy smiled and shook his head: "He should have found a place and went to have a drink. I didn't contact him."

"Okay, then make an appointment with him another day and let's have a drink together."

After David and George nodded, they pulled Polly into Ponini.

The two found an empty table and sat down. David whispered his plan to Polly. Polly fiddled with the condiment bottle in her hand and looked at David.

"We just talked about something in the car. I plan to hand over the management of the security company to Ludi from now on..."

"Have you thought about all this? Do you need me to do anything?"

"No, you have enough things to do, as well as our clothing company. I plan to bring Laura in and invest in it."

"Laura?"

Polly looked at David funny: "Then just do it if you think about it. I don't have any objection to these things~"

"Ok!"

Sally walked over from the side at this time and asked them to sit down at the main table.

In the restaurant, everyone has almost arrived.

Everyone was arranged on both sides of a large long table that was joined together.

David and Polly came to the table and found their seats and sat down.

The waiters put some dishes prepared in advance on the table one by one.

The owner of Sidrich's restaurant also thoughtfully helped arrange a small band to play soothing and beautiful music.

Payne and Giles sat opposite David. Payne whispered that he had found Lewis Ranieri, and he would be back at the Bonini restaurant in a moment.

David squinted his eyes and nodded: "Then after he comes, I will tell you my new ideas."

Giles was beside him, smiling and asking David to stand up and say a few words and give a toast.

David smiled, picked up the wine glass, stood up and said, "I feel extremely honored that everyone can gather here tonight."

"Friends, please raise your glass to the future of our company. I believe that everyone here will have a better life in the future, and everyone will become a millionaire! Cheers!~"

"Cheers!~"

"To the future~"

"Regards to the company~"

Everyone laughed and drank the wine in their glasses, chatting quietly with the people around them.

David sat down and chatted with Giles across from him about some interesting things after returning home.

The atmosphere in the restaurant slowly became lively.

David was eating, chatting, and observing everyone's performance.

Lavis sat with Giovanni, White Mike, Black Mike, Cohen, and Rambo.

Several people were chatting happily.

Cohen ate the food on his plate absentmindedly.

Rambo nodded in agreement while curiously looking at the people on both sides of the long dining table.

Sally and Andy were sitting together, and Andy was whispering something to Sally, making Sally chuckle. Her mature and charming temperament made George and Erwin, who were sitting opposite them, a little confused. Sideways glance.

Polly was whispering to Laura about which department store in New York sells exclusive brands, and how.

Lilith listened to Laura's chat quietly.

Ludy was pulling Pine and saying this.

After David lowered his head and finished dinner quickly, he came to Ludy and Pine and told Pine his thoughts about the DA security company.

Sure enough, Pine didn't express any opinion on this matter.

"David, just do what you want. Whatever decision you make, Giles and I will support you."

"Thank you!"

Pine waved his hand: "I thought you came to me because of the FBI matter that was mentioned in the meeting just now."

"The man named Bog Beru contacted Giles and wanted to ask for help."

"help?"

David looked at Giles who was approaching.

"What did he tell you?"

Giles took the wine glass and took a sip: "I didn't say anything specific. I left it to Pine to chat with him."

Pine shrugged and continued: "He wants to transfer out of the FBI and join the DEA."

David is very familiar with FBI and CIA.

The FBI is mainly responsible for handling various cases in the United States.

The cia is mainly responsible for various foreign intelligence and case processing.

What kind of organization is this dea?It is really a cognitive blind spot for David.

Ludy on the side gave David a brief introduction to the structure, jurisdiction and functions of DEA.

DEA is the abbreviation of the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration.

David was very curious about this Borg Beru, why did he join DEA?

Pine answered his question with a smile: "Since the Watergate Hotel secret theft incident in 1972, the situation of the FBI in the country has gone from bad to worse, almost to the point where everyone is calling for beatings."

"In addition, their domineering style over the years has caused countless troubles. Many people are jealous of them and have begun to add insult to injury."

"This Bog Belu is able to persist in finding us until now because he does not have any strong connections or backers to help him leave the FBI, a place of right and wrong."

"The murder of the street informant allowed him to find out some information by chance."

"At that time, he was cooperating with DEA ​​to investigate the cocaine smuggling and trafficking case in New York, and accidentally learned that Nicky Bane was the mastermind of this matter."

"That's why I wanted to use this matter as a bargaining chip to come to us for help."

Lu Di sighed from the side: "This kid's idea is a little too naive."

David thought for a moment and said: "Pine, how did you reply to him? Is this Bog Beru useful to us?"

"I didn't give him any answers or promises, and the matter itself wasn't a particularly difficult secret to find out. His bargaining chip wasn't enough."

"His own value in serving in the FBI is so small to us that it can be ignored.

Moreover, I don’t think that after helping him, he will completely become ours. "

"I also had a brief understanding of the deeds of Baoge Beru."

"He has worked in the FBI for more than ten years and has hundreds of thousands of dollars in assets.

He wanted to join the DEA because catching drug dealers was the best way to secretly make money.

Almost every one of those guys selling powdered medicine is a millionaire. As long as he seizes an opportunity, he can guarantee his future retirement life.

If he was an upright law enforcement officer with clean hands and feet, I might still choose to help him. "

"Now..."

"Let him worry about it himself..."

David nodded after listening.

This guy who can't survive in the FBI still has hundreds of thousands of dollars in his pocket.

Come to think of it, over the years, Baog Beru has often taken advantage of his position to make money for himself. .

If he is really allowed to join the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration to investigate big drug dealers like Frank Lucas, he will definitely look for opportunities to make his wallet richer.

David had completely lost interest in this stupid and selfish guy who had been around for many years.

David took a glass of champagne from the passing waiter's plate.

He remembered the security company's plan just now, and said to several people: "You said that this DEA does not have its own special armed forces to help them arrest the prisoners."

"Then their actions in the country are all assisted and supported by the FBI?"

"Can we contact them and ask them to hire our combat team to help them perform tasks such as arrests?"

this. .

Pine smiled and spread his hands, saying that he couldn't help in this regard and had no idea whether DE would discuss this matter with DA's security.

Ludy thought of Richie Roberts' introduction to DEA in Polly's office that day.

"David, George has hired a lawyer for our company. He has worked at DEA before, and he also personally arrested Frank Lucas, the big drug dealer in Harlem. Maybe he can answer your question."

The former DEA agent who captured Lucas now works as a lawyer in the company?

What kind of divine development is this kind of strange thing?

"Oh? Richie Roberts? Is he here today?"

Ludy shook his head and replied: "No, I haven't seen him since he was teased by Hardman in Polly's office that day. However, you can ask George to see if he knows this. Where is Rich?"

"Ok!"

David looked back and saw George, waved to him and called him over.

When he came over, David asked him about Richie.

George looked at a few people with some confusion: "Rich has been at home these days to help complete the insurance company's contract. We just got a new office location today. I just informed him that he will go to Stanley's office tomorrow. "

"Then can you find him? Can you let him come here?"

George thought for a moment: "I'm going to make a call and try. It should be fine."

"Okay, then I'm sorry to trouble you~"

George nodded and left to make a phone call.

After a few minutes.

He came back and said, "Rich is at home. He should be there in about half an hour."

David looked at Pine and Giles: "Then let's wait for him first. You guys sit down first, and I'll go find Forrest Gump to talk about him."

When Giles heard about Forrest Gump, he became interested: "You have helped him find the man named..."

"Jenny!"

"Yes, Jenny! Did you find her?"

"Of course, the people I sent have found her. She is temporarily staying in Jacksonville. I want to ask Forrest Gump about her final decision."

"Then can we listen nearby? You know, I am very curious about Forrest Gump. His life is just like a character in a movie, which makes people curious and fascinated!"

amount. .

David slapped Giles funny.

He stood up and saw Barlow and Forrest, and waved to them.

"Let's go over there and find a separate table to talk things over."

"Black Mike, can you get me my backpack, man! I need it!"

After hearing David's words, the big black man nodded, licked the fingers where he put down the lobster, and went out to get his backpack.

David and the others found a table in a corner of the restaurant and sat down.

Forrest Gump came over and said hello to several people, sat down and said, "David, after we talked on the phone, I didn't know how to choose to deal with this matter, so I called my best friend. , Lieutenant Dan.”

"After I told him about this matter, the advice he gave me was not to appear directly in front of Jenny first. I could watch her silently first and let her give birth to the child safely."

"So, I plan to book a flight to Jacksonville to be with Jenny."

David listened to Forrest Gump's words, but he was shaking his head in his heart.

"Forrest Gump, have you ever thought about the issue of Jenny's source of income during the months of pregnancy and the months after giving birth to the child if she gave birth to the child in Jacksonville?"

"Without money, how can she support this child?"

"Can you do this without her noticing?"

"If she had been aware of your existence before giving birth to the child, would she have chosen to abort the child? Or would she have simply escaped?"

Everyone looked at A-Gump.

A-Gump lowered his head and was silent for a while: "I don't know, David. There's no way I can guarantee that she won't find out."

Giles looked back and forth between the two of them: "David, have you already thought of a way to help Forrest Gump?"

"No, I still need everyone's help to discuss my method."

David stood up and walked to the dining table to find Tangtang and Harvey. He called them to a corner of the restaurant and asked them to sit down.

He briefly told the two of them about Jenny, and then said: "Jenny used to be a model in some magazines, and also performed in some country clubs and small theaters. Is there any way you can invite her here? This side of New York?”

"As long as she can come to New York, we will have more methods and confidence to deal with Jenny."

Harvey and Tangtang looked at each other. They had never encountered this kind of thing before.

Harvey looked at Forrest Gump and asked him some more questions.

A-Gump didn't know much about what Jenny had been doing outside these years, so he could only give some general answers about what he knew.

Tangtang sat next to him, listening to A-Gump's answer, and thought for a moment and said, "Can we use the excuse that the film and television company needs actors and models to contact Jenny first?"

"Just find someone to pretend to be a talent scout and meet Jenny on the street. Then he recognizes her as someone who has posed for some magazines and invites her."

When David heard this, he thought this method was very promising!

"Then we need to find the most professional person to help complete this matter. This person can be an agent who used to be somewhat famous. Because the current environment has deteriorated, he has become a talent scout on the streets."

"Or, we can simply go directly to the agent who contacted Jenny to shoot magazine photos and ask him to help complete the scene."

Harvey continued from the side: "Then we also need to prepare our own modeling agency to provide the background for this scene."

"That's right Harvey, what else? Can you help me think about it again and see if there's anything else I haven't thought of?"

Tangtang continued: "I think the key to this matter is Jenny's own attitude towards this child. We should find someone to be friends with her in advance, help us talk, and understand her true thoughts now."

"Otherwise, we would have to make blind guesses on our own, and it would be easy to make simple things complicated!"

A-Gump listened and nodded. David smiled and clapped his hands: "Tangtang, you are a very suitable candidate. How about you pretend to be a newly pregnant unwed mother? You already have a child. In this regard, You should be very experienced.”

amount. .

Tangtang didn't expect that she came to help with ideas, but the job ended up falling on her.

She shook her head dumbfounded and waved her hands: "Jenny and I have completely different life experiences, and we may not be able to find a common language. I think the person to contact Jenny needs to be selected from among the locals, so that it is less likely to attract people. Jenny’s suspicion.”

"Local people? It's hard to find this person... We..."

Giles listened to the discussion of several people. He tilted his head and said to Pine: "Why did David make this matter like spies discussing some secret operation?"

Pine laughed and shook his head.

When David heard what Giles said, he slapped his thigh suddenly: "That's right! No matter how professional an actor is, there are spies who have received professional training and perform in their own roles every day. They are so awesome!

We can totally find a beautiful spy to help with this matter! "

Ha ha. .

Everyone was speechless at David's imagination. .

A-Gump's eyes widened: "I don't think it's time to use spies for this matter..."

David interrupted A-Gump with a smile: "Man, I'm just making an analogy. Talents in this area shouldn't be harder to find than professional actors, right? Pine, maybe that Borg Bellu can help." This is busy."

Pine shook his head helplessly: "I don't know if he can help, but if you look for help like this, you will attract the attention of other people, I'm sure of this."

David shrugged: "If I don't take the initiative to find them, won't they come to trouble me? Not now, but they will come in the future, man~"

Giles understood the conversation between the two: "Are you saying that there will be real spies coming to get close to and contact David?"

David waved his hands and said: "This is something you can guess if you think with your feet, man!

Maybe I won't attract their attention now, but later. . .

As long as our company and our investments are successful, I and the people around me will inevitably be noticed by them, and I am mentally prepared for this. "

Giles and Pine, nodded.

The Morgan family has experienced many similar bad things over the years.

In recent decades, every generation and every direct family member has more or less experienced being targeted, approached, and face-to-face contact by spies with various ideas.

Pine himself had an experience of this kind.

A friend he met at a party was later found to be a spy who had lived in the United States for nearly 20 years.

However, when Giles arrived, he had not yet come into contact with these people.

Over the years, Old Morgan has slowly protected his family to the extreme.

All of his children are surrounded by a group of unknown people who are watching over them secretly.

Giles is certainly no exception.

Pine didn't even know if there were people disguised as pedestrians, taxi drivers, vendors, etc. outside this Bonini restaurant, paying attention to Giles' movements and everyone who came into contact with him. people.

As the top plutocratic family in the United States, if the Morgan family cannot even protect their own family and is used by spies to steal some important secrets that cannot be told, this kind of thing will never happen.

The United States is a paradise for capital.

The United States is also a paradise for spies.

It is full of opportunities and challenges.

Likewise, it is also full of dangers and traps.
