Don't ask before

Tony finally did not disappoint Carlos this time. Two days later, Carlos met the person he wanted to see in the basement where he was currently staying.

A thin middle-aged man was dragged in by two tall bodyguards, pressed on a chair in the middle of the basement, and then took off the black hood on his head.

"Mr. Carlos, I think there must be some misunderstanding here." Lao Xi, Lin Mo's agent and the middleman of this business, quickly thought of the matter after seeing clearly who was the mastermind behind his kidnapping The point is, he felt a "thump" in his heart. He knew that today was going to be bad, but he didn't show it on his face. He said sincerely, "I'm just an ordinary middleman. Even if you catch me, you can't make the failed mission any better. At most, I will help you find a master to continue this task."

As an ordinary intermediary in a special industry, Lao Xi has always been very careful and tried to provide services that satisfy both customers. The only thing that dissatisfied the customers was the task that Lin Mo announced failed two days ago. The customers could not accept the failure. He even raised the salary and hoped that Lin Mo could continue. The old Xi didn't understand why Lin Mo, who always loved money, suddenly treated money like dirt this time. Not only did he sternly reject the employer's request, but he also expressed his opposition to his suggestion of a replacement. .

Lao Xi also loves money. Of course, he is heartbroken about the commission. He is no more expensive than Lin Mo. The cost is high, the risk is high, and the return is high. He just earns a hard-earned money as a matchmaker, and occasionally sells news and gadgets. He is very reluctant to turn away such a big client. To others, but he knows that the Fan family is not easy to mess with, and even Lin Mo has suffered in the hands of Fan Jingwen. He believes in Lin Mo's prediction that if Fan Jingwen knows that he is the one who is in the middle, he will sink him into the Pacific Ocean. .

No matter how good the money is, he still has his life to spend, so he considered Lin Mo's opinion again and again, gave up the idea of ​​changing people, and returned the deposit.Just after he returned the double deposit, he was kidnapped by his employer and met the boss behind the scenes. Even a fool would know that the kidnapping was related to that mission.

Although Lin Mo and Carlos' grievances and grievances are not clear about the specific reasons, the veteran knows a thing or two about the process. Over the years, Lin Mo has caused Carlos a lot of trouble, and Carlos has also caused Lin Mo to suffer a lot. If If he had known that the boss behind this task was Carlos, he would definitely not have accepted this task, and even if he had accepted it, he would never have let Lin Mo complete it.

But it suddenly occurred to him that when the employer who came to him at the beginning specified that Lin Mo should complete this task, he knew that this matter was probably a conspiracy from beginning to end, a conspiracy that was designing Lin Mo.

Borrowing a knife to kill someone?Did Carlos want to use the hands of the Fan family to kill Lin Mo?Lao Xi came to this conclusion after a little thought. Of course, he didn't know that the truth of the matter was far more complicated than he thought.

"Ordinary middleman?" Carlos smiled when he heard his words. At this time, he was well-dressed, well-behaved, with a gentle smile on his face. He looked like a knowledgeable scholar. I can't see the bloodthirsty and cruelty in the legend, "Mr. Xi, do you think an ordinary middleman can recognize me as soon as we meet?"

Carlos is not an entertainment star, let alone a popular lover. Although he is well-known, not many people have seen him, so he asked this question.

"Mr. Carlos was joking, you know what I rely on for a living, so it's not surprising that I can recognize you." The old Xi still had a smile on his face, his tone was respectful and flattering, but his back began to sweat .

"I think we don't need to go around in circles to waste each other's time. I have a small favor and I need Mr. Xi's help. I hope Mr. Xi will not refuse."

"It has been an honor to serve Mr. Carlos."

"I want to meet Lin Mo, and I hope Mr. Xi can help arrange it."

As soon as Carlos' words came out, the smile on Lao Xi's face froze.He knew that Carlos was coming for Lin Mo, but how did Carlos know his relationship with Lin Mo, or was it just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse?

"Mr. Carlos, you must know that Lin Mo has always been alone. There is really no way for a middleman like me to see him in person. I have been in touch with him on the Internet." When Lao Xi said this, he felt in his heart It is still a fluke, the relationship between him and Lin Mo is indeed a little closer than the relationship between the middleman and the next family, but he has not mentioned it to others, and Lin Mo will certainly not mention it to others, no one should know this.

Generally speaking, the intermediary is only responsible for connecting the upper and lower buyers. The upper buyers are all kinds of buyers who need special services, ranging from big shots to ordinary people, and the lower buyers are professionals who provide various special services. Killers, thieves, spies, gamblers, and more.

What a qualified intermediary needs to do is to connect buyers with suitable professionals who can complete the task, but there are also some buyers who will designate an executor when placing an order. For example, when someone hires a killer, he likes to specify how many killers will take the shot , of course, the higher the ranking, the higher the hiring fee, and the middlemen usually charge according to the percentage of the hiring fee, so the income naturally increases.

Lin Mo's task belongs to the latter situation, and the buyer appointed him to perform it.At that time, Lao Xi was secretly delighted. Lin Mo was a very troublesome lone thief. He was only interested in troublesome things, which meant that troubles came to him much more than others, so he asked for a price It is not generally high, and the income of the old seats can be a little more.Of course, Lao Xi can only cry now, because judging from the current situation, this trouble is really not ordinary.

Seeing him continue to pretend to be confused, Carlos stared at him for a while, then laughed again.

"It's useless for Mr. Xi to pretend to be stupid if a wise man doesn't speak in secret. Tony..." He nodded at the man in the black suit, "Treat Mr. Xi well for me."

-

Lin Mo is in a particularly good mood recently. He seems to be living in a pink bubble every day, and even the air he breathes is so sweet. That's why his mood became particularly bad when he received that email.

It was a very simple email, and what he was asked to do was also very simple, except for the signature and the picture below the signature.

"Carlos." Lin Mo clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, keeping his eyes on the last picture in the email.

It was a moving picture, first a sycamore leaf floated down on the screen, and then a fat caterpillar fell down. The fat worm twisted its waist a few times and began to gnaw on the sycamore leaf.Lin Mo seemed to hear a sound in the apparently silent scene, which was the sound of eating flesh and blood.

Fat Chongzi moved very quickly. In just a few tens of seconds, all the sycamore leaves fell into its stomach. Then Fat Chongzi stretched his waist, lay down and began to sleep.

A very simple moving picture, but it made Lin Mo unable to keep calm. This picture was given to Lao Xi by him. It is used in special circumstances. The message to be conveyed is only two words - "Danger".

Because sycamore leaves are Lin Mo's symbol, it goes without saying what the sycamore leaves eaten by caterpillars mean.

Now that Carlos' signature and this picture appeared in front of him, Lin Mo certainly understood what was going on. There was no doubt that the old seat had fallen into Carlos' hands.

Sure enough, no matter what method Lin Mo used to contact him, he couldn't get in touch with the boss. The only clue was this email.In the email, Carlos asked him to change people alone tomorrow night, and he will not wait for any unexpected consequences.

Knowing that there is a trap set by the enemy in front of you, will you still jump?

The answer to this question varies from person to person, but for Lin Mo, the answer is yes.

Lin Mo thinks that he is cold-natured, heartless, and there are only a handful of people who can be regarded as friends who have lived for more than 20 years, but he doesn't want to lose any of the limited number of people.He knows how many troubles he has. In order not to cause trouble to his friends, except for those who are not afraid of trouble, such as Lin Yan, such as Fan Jingwen, he has always been very careful in communicating with his friends, but he did not expect to be rejected. Carlos found clues and dug someone.

In fact, Lao Xi is not only Lin Mo's middleman and agent, but also Lin Mo's benefactor. It is impossible for him to leave him alone.Of course, it is impossible for him to go to the meeting alone without any preparations, and he must make thorough preparations before he can do things.

In the absence of the boss, Lin Mo found that some things were not easy to do. Originally, the boss could help him to collect information and prepare weapons, but now Lin Mo had to do all these tasks by himself, but Carlos gave him very little time. At least, in less than thirty hours, Lin Mo didn't contact other friends. He is now in the light, and Carlos is in the dark. Unlike the previous life of wandering around, Carlos can easily monitor his actions. It's even worse to cause trouble for someone.

Of course, he has other channels, but this is the territory of the Fan family, and there is no guarantee that those intermediaries have nothing to do with the Fan family. At that time, he will be able to know with a simple action of the Fan Jingwen. Ross's so-called accident must be the Sanskrit script, and Lin Mo shrank when he started to do things.

However, it is easy to do things with money. The most satisfying thing about these special industries in modern society is that the transmission of news does not need to be paid by one hand and delivered by small notes. The development of special industries is also changing with each passing day. There are underground network platforms that provide services for both parties to the transaction, and professionals such as hackers and hackers provide high-definition satellite images of various target buildings in various regions, so Lin Mo quickly found out all kinds of information about the transaction location.

Carlos obviously picked a good place. It was an abandoned warehouse near the sea. The surrounding terrain was flat and there was no shelter. As long as someone occupied the commanding heights of the warehouse, it would be within the range of fire suppression for several miles. It would be very difficult to capture it. , no amount of life is enough.

Maybe the sea is the weak point?Lin Mo looked at the distance between the warehouse and the sea and secretly calculated it. After half of the calculation, he realized that Carlos had a hostage in his hands. If he couldn't sneak in secretly to rescue the hostage, he had better do what he said obediently. Attacking by force is absolutely impossible.

However, Lin Mo is not half sure whether Carlos will exchange according to the agreement, so he still has to be prepared.

The route is figured out, the means of transportation is not a problem, the only difficulty is the weapon.

Lin Mo has received professional training and can use all kinds of weapons and equipment, but he doesn't rely on this for a living.In the past, his missions relied more on camouflage, deception, and skills to achieve his goals, and occasionally he would use his body. For example, this time, violent means were rarely used, probably only when he troubled Carlos. , when he first came to Z City, the plan was to infiltrate the Brahma family, and he was obviously insufficiently prepared in terms of firepower. At this time, he had a headache.

Many things can be bought on the underground trading platform, but really good things need channels and more time to wait for the goods to arrive. Unfortunately, what Lin Mo lacks is time. He can't wait until tomorrow night to act. In fact, he is going to do it tomorrow morning , so his idea quickly hit Fan Jingwen's head.

There is no need to ask the question of whether the Fan family has ammunition. Fan Jingwen even built a multi-functional shooting range in his home. The collection of firearms is very rich, enough to start a small regional war.

Anyway, the Sanskrit text is his, and his is still his. Lin Mo didn't feel guilty at all that he was going to patronize the Sanskrit text collection, and quickly adjusted his mentality.

That night, for the first time, Lin Mo slept obediently in the auxiliary bedroom alone, without complaining or sneak attacking. Oh, in fact, there were still sneak attacks, but the location was changed to the weapons and equipment room of the Fanjia shooting range.
