Chapter 17: The Man with a Story
"I'm sorry." The old man smiled, took out a business card, and presented it to Cang Hao with both hands: "It was my negligence." β
The business cards of domestic tyrants often pursue lofty, and some people even use pure gold, which is the difference between local tyrants and rich people.
The old man's business card is very exquisite, but it is only ordinary coated paper, and a line of small words "environmentally friendly materials" is printed at the bottom.
There are still some people in China who like to print various titles on their business cards, but the old man's business card is very simple, just one line: "Chairman of the Board of Directors of American Capital Group".
As for his name, it's "Dustin Crane".
This name, Cang Hao is a little familiar.
The old man smiled slightly: "You should know who I am, right?"
"You're Cecilia's grandfather. β
"Yes. The old man nodded slightly: "You can call me Mr. Cranet, or you can call me Dustin, first of all, I want to thank you for helping me take care of Cecilia these days." β
"I didn't plan to take care of her. Cang Hao looked at Crane's expression and said slowly: "It's just that it happened that I found out that the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service was going to be unfavorable to her, so I rescued her." β
"yes, thank you so much. Crane nodded very movingly, but did not ask any questions to Cang Hao, as if he had long known that the Foreign Intelligence Agency was going to kidnap his granddaughter.
"So far, I have not been able to guess why the Foreign Intelligence Service wanted to kidnap Cecilia. Cang Hao said tentatively: "I'm quite worried about her safety!"
Crane still did not respond to Cang Hao's words, and instead said: "Cecilia's personality is very rebellious and yearns for a completely different life. Half a year ago, she suddenly disappeared and left a letter telling me that I wanted to change my life, and then I began to look for her all over the world......" After a pause, Crane said very helplessly: "Later, I finally found out, it turned out that she was studying in Huaxia, probably she thought it was a chaotic country." β
In a certain way, she was disappointed, but from other angles, she couldn't say that she was wrong. Cang Hao asked with interest: "Then you found it?"
"I found Jinghua University and found that she hadn't been to class for a few days, but luckily I got her mobile phone number in Huaxia. Tracking the cell phone signal showed that she was in Cuifeng Village, and I was about to pick her up directly, only to find that it seemed to be a military base. Then, I learned that you are the master of Emerald Peaks Village, so I came to visit you, hoping that you could help me find Cecilia. Shaking his head, Cranet's tone became even more helpless: "I know she won't be honest with me, and I hope you can persuade her." β
Cang Hao said meaningfully: "It's really hard for you." β
"What's the solution, after his parents died, I'm her only relative in this world. β
Cang Hao nodded: "I'll take you to Cuifeng Village now." β
"Thank you. Crane smiled, "Thank you even more for taking Cecilia in." β
Crane immediately ordered the driver to get on the road, and the two rangers got into another car and followed closely behind.
After the convoy arrived at Cuifeng Village, it didn't need Cang Hao to say anything, and immediately lowered its speed.
Obviously, Crane already knew that this place was full of ambushes, and the slightest carelessness could lead to serious consequences.
After entering from the gate of Cuifeng Village, you will come to the main body of the matrix, and you will pass all the way.
After Cang Hao got out of the car, he happened to see Cecilia, a little girl still wearing a camouflage uniform, practicing fighting in front of a wooden stake.
I don't know who erected such a stake for her, the little girl fisted and palmed, and kept hitting it, making a "pop" sound, but it also looked like it.
From time to time, Cecilia shouted "hehe" twice, her face was flushed, and dense beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her attitude was very serious.
Seeing Cang Hao coming over, Cecilia accepted the form, and asked excitedly: "Master, how do you see my progress......
Cecilia stopped halfway through her sentence when she saw Cryant approaching.
"Cecilia......" Chief Crane exhaled, "Can you come home with me?"
Cecilia looked at Kleant, was stunned for a long time, and suddenly shouted, "Why should I go back?"
"Because the West Coast is your home. Crane said without hesitation: "You are willful, come out to play for a while, it's not impossible, you always have to go home after playing." β
Cecilia stubbornly said, "I'm not going back!"
"Why?"
Cecilia's love xΓΉ was a little excited: "Because you are incompetent!"
When this sentence was spoken, Cang Hao was stunned, and Serchenko and Aurola, who had just come over, were also stunned.
Kleant stumbled a little: "I...... What's wrong with me?"
"Because you can't help my mom and dad get revenge!" Cecilia's voice grew louder and louder: "Don't think I don't know, they died of murder, or if they were murdered!"
"This ......" Cranet's expression became a little embarrassed: "Things are a little different from what you imagined......"
Cecilia exclaimed, "What's the difference!"
"I don't know where you heard about it, and I don't know if you have a basis for ......" Crane shook his head vigorously: "I can only say that if your parents really die of murder, I will definitely make the murderer pay!"
"You're just talking!" Cecilia snorted heavily, "It's been so long, what have you done?"
Crane let out a long sigh, "Whatever happens, come home with me first!"
"I'm not going back!" Cecilia hid behind Cang Hao and said very seriously: "You are my master, you have to protect me!"
After all, this is someone else's family matter, and Cang Hao really can't intervene: "But...... He's your grandfather!"
Cecilia huffed, "I don't recognize this person as my grandfather!"
The two Rangers took a few steps forward in unison, apparently intending to take Cecilia by force, while Serchenko and Aurora immediately stuck behind them, ready to strike.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere became tense, and both sides seemed ready to use force.
Crane sighed and said to Cang Hao, "This is the place to be, I hope you can do me a favor and let Cecilia go home with me." β
"She's your granddaughter, so I shouldn't interfere with anything, but ......" Cang Hao said a little helplessly: "She doesn't want to go with you, and I can't help it." β
Crane shook his head vigorously: "It seems that things are a bit deadlocked." β
"Definitely. Cang Hao said frankly: "I can't force her to go with you." β
Crane sighed again: "I'm her only legal guardian after all......"
"No! you're not!" Cecilia poked her little head out from behind Cang Hao and corrected seriously: "I'm already eighteen years old, and I don't need any guardian!"
Crane ignored Cecilia, and just said to Cang Hao: "It seems that if I forcibly take Cecilia away today, your subordinates will definitely not agree." β
Cang Hao had no choice but to ask: "It's better to ...... You stay here for two days and wait for Cecilia to change her mind. β
Klein nodded in agreement, "I'll pay you!"
"It's not necessary, but you'd better tell your subordinates not to walk around, I'm not a vegetable market here......" After a pause, Cang Hao asked Crane tentatively: "How much can you pay?"
Klein said directly: "Pay according to the five-star hotel." β
Cang Hao laughed dryly: "Originally, I didn't plan to rent a house, but since you are so insistent, I have no choice but to accept it." β
Cecilia immediately shouted, "You can't let him stay!"
Cang Hao glanced back at Cecilia: "Why?"
"Because ......," Cecilia gritted her teeth and said, "Do you know that he has close contacts with those politicians, and he does very dangerous business. β
"Oh?" Cang Hao said with interest: "Then I'm really interested in seeing it!"
"Oh my God!" Cecilia shook her head, "You're a madman!"
With that, Cecilia turned and ran away, as if afraid that Cryant would catch her.
Cang Hao asked Serchenko to settle Crane and his party to stay, and Aurora looked at their backs and shook her head thoughtfully: "It can be seen that this Crane is very shrewd and an old fox!"
Xun Hailu commented that Cang Hao was a person with a story, Cang Hao felt that Crane was also a person with a story, and he said that Cecilia was hunted down by the Foreign Intelligence Agency, but Crane didn't react, indicating that he already knew something.
Cang Hao suddenly remembered that Serchenko and Aurora came to look for him together, as if something was wrong.
So Cang Hao asked Aurora: "Are you okay?"
"Something is true. AFLORA TOOK OUT HER IPAD AND HANDED IT TO CANG HAO: "SEE FOR YOURSELF." β
There was a piece of news on it, all in Russian, and Cang Hao was dumbfounded: "I don't understand." β
"Hell, I forgot. Aurora immediately re-called other pages: "News in other languages should also be published...... It just so happens that there is Chinese, you see. β
This is a new report, which happened in Moscow, so it was first reported by the Russian-language media and then translated into other languages.
Not far from the Kremlin, there was a car accident in which a sedan was flattened by a truck, killing all three people on the spot, and the truck fled.
It has been established that one of the dead was the head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service and the other two were subordinates of the director.
The report is as simple as that, and there is no other information, but it only means that the police of country E are making every effort to investigate the case, and the outside world believes that it cannot be ruled out that this case involves political factors.
Serchenko once said that the FSB and the Foreign Intelligence Service were separated from different departments of the KGB, and it cannot be said that there was no contact between the two, but the outside world never knew about the Foreign Intelligence Service.
Neither Serchenko nor even the current president of country E can influence the Foreign Intelligence Service.
It can only be said that the former president still has some influence, and with the departure of the previous president, it seems that no one can restrain the Foreign Intelligence Agency.
