Chapter 793
Director Derike turned his head to look at the five young people, their faces more or less showed expressions of fear.
Suddenly he felt that this did not seem to be a bad thing, at least it could let these young people put down some of their inherent prejudices, as well as blind optimism.
This is actually like a bedtime horror story, you tell them that a big bad wolf lives in the forest, specializing in eating children.
They might not take what you say seriously, until they really see the big bad wolf.
If they become vigilant because of this matter, then this is a good thing.
He turned his head to look at the restaurant manager, "Thank you, tell Mr. Lans, thank you very much for his hospitality."
Actually, whether it is him or the manager, they both know that this sentence will not reach Mr. Lans's ears, but the manager still nodded, smiling and pushing open the door leading to the outside world for them.
Director Derike turned around and looked at the five young people, maintaining a smile, "Let's go, we are going back."
Several young people walked toward the outside quickly as if they were frightened, their footsteps were a bit messy.
In the parking lot, they looked around in panic, wanting to find the person hiding in the corner staring at them, but they couldn't find anything.
Sitting in the car, the female agent couldn't help asking, "Is he staring at us?!"
Director Derike stopped the work of starting the car, he looked at this female agent, "He is not staring at us, this is what I said to you, don't be optimistic, keep vigilant."
"The control of the Lans family over this city is too strong, and it is precisely because of this that we can find their criminal evidence here."
"Going to Mantong is indeed simpler, but we will never be able to come into contact with the core criminal evidence of the Lans family!"
"To be honest, I was also startled, but this precisely tells me that we chose a correct direction, because they, he, are paying attention to us!"
"They became vigilant, worried, and even fearful because of our arrival, so they would do this to startle us."
"Keep your normal emotions well, calm yourself down."
"We are agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, we are employees of the Federal Government, he dare not hurt us casually, without reason!"
Unlike other law enforcement agencies, the superior of the Jincheng branch of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the city is the Federal Bureau of Investigation, directly responsible to Mr. President.
Killing them has a high probability of alarming that director-general, and even alarming Mr. President, so as long as they don't expose their malice toward Lans and the Lans family, Lans has a high probability of not directly taking action against them.
Director Derike explained, which made the emotions of the young people relax well, and also became relaxed.
Now they live in the dormitory of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, after sending these young people back and watching them go upstairs, the smile on Derike's face gradually converged.
He pacified the emotions of these young people well, he wanted to let them not be so terrified.
Fear will make them make mistakes, making mistakes at this time will really kill people.
But this matter made him feel heavy pressure.
He drove back to his residence, did not get off the car, but sat in the car and lit a cigarette.
He originally thought this would be an interesting game, but in reality, everything was under Lans's control.
He hammered the steering wheel heavily, and the horn sound that suddenly sounded at night made all kinds of scolding come from the surroundings.
He smoked, looking at the pitch-black and deep sky, this stagnant water of Jincheng is much more terrifying than he imagined.
He sat in the car for half an hour, finally determined the previous train of thought, not to investigate any cases related to the Lans family, can only be like this first.
For his own safety, for the safety of his subordinates... fuck!
The next morning everyone met in the office, although these young people didn't say anything, it could be seen that they didn't rest well last night.
Director Derike also didn't rest well, the things he had to think about were much more than these young people.
Fortunately, Lans's "greeting" seemed to be just a greeting, in the week after this matter, they seemed to have walked out of the shadow covered by the Lans family, and the ordinary agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation also arrived at their posts one after another, starting their formal work.
At this time, there were only more than ten days left before the Sheng Nong Festival.
In the morning, Luo Jiefu (the old man of the Diguo Chamber of Commerce) brought Mr. Martin (the confidant of the little Count Griffith, the leader of the Diguo Resistance Army) to the office early, and when they saw Lans, the two immediately stood up.
A smile immediately appeared on Mr. Martin's face.
Lans is now more and more famous in the Federation, which also means that Lans can play a more important role.
To put it bluntly, even if little Count Griffith wants to sell the country, the price can be sold a bit higher.
For a resistance army that hates this country and is chased everywhere by His Majesty the Emperor, returning home has long lost its meaning for him.
Only living, revenge, and overthrowing the royal family are meaningful!
Mr. Martin first found Luo Jiefu, because quite a few people said that Luo Jiefu had various tight-supply medicines worth tens of millions of Federal Sol in his hands.
Not long ago, the resistance army just fought a battle with the Diguo army, this time there was a traitor's betrayal, although the resistance army severely damaged the Diguo army, it also suffered heavy losses itself.
Not to mention the consumption of ammunition, the most critical thing is the lack of medicine.
Without bullets and weapons, they can still get them.
Now there are still some nobles willing to sell weapons to little Count Griffith on a small scale.
They neither want His Majesty the Emperor to get rid of this matter so quickly—
Once His Majesty the Emperor solves the problem of the resistance army, he might start to retaliate against those nobles whose positions were wavering before.
Therefore, they hope that the resistance army will always exist, neither becoming big, nor always making His Majesty the Emperor have a headache.
There is news that the number of times His Majesty the Emperor has headaches is getting more and more frequent.
Weapons and ammunition still have places to replenish, but various medicines are really not easy to get.
Some big pharmaceutical factories inside the Diguo are all controlled by the royal family and big nobles, it is almost impossible for them to obtain medicine.
It just so happened that Mr. Martin recently heard that the Diguo Chamber of Commerce had a batch of various special effect medicines hoarded before the war broke out, so he immediately contacted the president on the surface of the Diguo Chamber of Commerce, Luo Jiefu.
Luo Jiefu himself did not dare to make decisions about this kind of thing, he was seen through by Martin at a glance about his difficulty, and begged to come here to see Lans together, hoping to be able to take down this batch of medicine.
Lans welcomed the two into the office, after hearing Mr. Martin explain the purpose of the visit, he did not refuse, but asked, "Can little Count Griffith still take out tens of millions of Federal Sol now?"
"It seems I have to look at him with high regard!"
This sentence actually carries a slightly sarcastic tease, little Count Griffith, who lost his "rear", now completely relies on overseas activists like Mr. Martin to raise funds.
His family account was long ago confiscated by the royal family, and the castle and the artworks inside were also almost all confiscated, he basically has no money!
Mr. Martin wanted the special effect medicine in Lans's hands as soon as he opened his mouth, indeed a bit... arrogant, or self-important.
He was like not hearing the meanings in Lans's words, and still said seriously, "Mr. Lans, this batch of medicine is very important to us!"
"Please definitely sell them to us!"
Lans pursed his lips, "How much money can you take out?"
Mr. Martin was full of generosity and indignation, "No money!"
Luo Jiefu next to him widened his eyes, he suddenly felt that this person's brain was not very good, and stayed a little further away from him, so as not to splash blood on himself.
Without waiting for Lans to react, he said again, "Count Griffith has already contacted me, he promised you, Mr. Lans."
"As long as we defeat the royal family, Count Griffith replaces the royal family to become the new ruler of the Diguo, he will promise a duke title to you."
"When the time comes, people will have to call you 'Duke White'!"
Lans smiled, "I respect little Count Griffith very much, but I think he has no way to prove he can do these things you said."
"His situation is always very dangerous, and these things promised are like cheating a fool in the countryside."
"I believe any mature leader will not give such a promise, unless he has already lost sight of the hope of victory."
This kind of promise can be thought through with a brain, it is absolutely impossible to realize, or it is absolutely problematic.
Once he really did that, is he going to give Lans a fief?
After having a fief, Lans is at least also a governor.
Mixing a governor in the Diguo with the status of a duke is actually already very miserable, normally speaking, reaching the level of a duke, there is a high probability of developing in the direction of a duchy.
If Count Griffith really did what he said, overthrew the rule of the royal family, then there must be help from other nobles.
Where can he seal Lans?
He will seal Lans to the fiefs of those nobles who are not on good terms with him, but he is not easy to take action against, or whose strength is not enough to take action against, let Lans and those nobles fight to the death.
If he luckily won, I am afraid Lans also doesn't have much strength, when the time comes, he can find a reason to say Lans despised the royal family, and he can flatten Lans.
If he can't win, that's just right, while using someone else's hand to clean up Lans, it also deterred these nobles, and it can also be considered as completing his promise.
This is still referring to the situation where he can win, if he can't win, everything is throwing money into the water.
Regardless of whether this idea was thought of by little Count Griffith, or thought of by this Mr. Martin, they are all bullying Lans's "commoner" status, feeling that he can't think through the things inside.
Once he is fooled, there will be endless trouble behind.
It's just that whether it is Mr. Martin or little Count Griffith, they did not realize that although Lans looks like that Lans, he has actually changed into a person.
Such small tricks have no use for him at all.
Mr. Martin still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lans raising his hand, "This batch of goods is now worth thirteen or fourteen million, I have no way to make decisions for other people's things, I can only guarantee my part, give it to you at cost price."
"Ten million, after the account arrives, immediately arrange for people to ship it to you, or you can pull it away yourselves."
"Mr. Martin, if you feel that I cannot understand the trouble of you and the little count, you can ask anywhere, your face, is it worth three or four million."
This sentence hit the point, Mr. Martin's face changed slightly.
The faces of these people added up, a month is only worth three or fifty thousand Federal Sol.
Mr. Martin is not a fool, on the contrary, he is also very smart, so he realized that his little trick was seen through.
This also made him a bit anxious, because he felt Lans's dissatisfaction with them.
Lans gives them one hundred thousand dollars every month, this one hundred thousand dollars seems not much, but it still has a great effect on the current resistance army, whether it is food or ammunition, money is needed, this money can be of great use.
He hurriedly stood up and bent his waist, "I apologize for our recklessness, Mr. Lans, I will contact Count Griffith as soon as possible to discuss this matter."
"I will take my leave first."
Lans did not keep him, nodded and let him leave.
He is certain that these people have no money, even if little Count Griffith has money, he will not use this money to really buy medicine to treat his wounded soldiers.
The reason is very simple, there are still some chaotic Diguo, human life is not worth money!
A dose of special effect anti-inflammatory medicine now costs more than one hundred dollars a shot, but one hundred dollars can hire several soldiers to fight, especially those lowly people, or those bottom-level speculators who are thinking about overturning the rule of the royal family and nobles.
Upper-level speculators speculate with funds, power, and connections, they don't have these, they can only use their own lives.
The lives of these people are also not worth money, they might not even need to pay them any salary, they can even bring their own dry food to participate in this war.
Little Count Griffith wants to get these medicines, essentially wanting to master more initiative, at the political level of the Diguo.
These medicines are actually more like a kind of strategic material, he can make little Count Griffith's "situation" look not so bad, just like those capitalists, they can live in the office, but they must also have a luxury car.
He wants to use these medicines to give people some confidence, after suffering a heavy blow.
If it is only considering actual use, Lans feels that they buy a few hundred thousand of medicine is enough, who the fuck would inject special effect medicine to lowly mud-legged people who are not worth money.
After letting people send Mr. Martin away, Lans let Luo Jiefu sit back, "This batch of medicine is getting more and more eye-catching, people who should notice will notice soon, find a way to sell some, as long as the price is suitable."
"Too many good things are trouble!"
Luo Jiefu also had some feelings, "I know, I will contact some buyers."
He said and paused, there was some difficult expression on his face, Lans raised his chin, "What else?"
Luo Jiefu was a bit hesitant, "Some people are willing to pay a high price, higher than the market price, but..."
He didn't even finish the "but", Lans knew what he meant.
It must be Dantra people, the medical technology of the Federation is still considered okay in the world, even if it is not the most advanced, it is also first-class.
It is very normal for them to want to import a large amount of medicine from the Federation, but now because of the war between the two sides, it is difficult to do this.
It is inevitable that some businessmen will buy these medicines through smuggling, and sell them to the Dantra Republic at a higher price.
While obtaining a large amount of benefits in the status of "patriotic businessman", while fiercely earning the blood and sweat of those patriotic people.
And saying it out is also very face-saving.
Lans doesn't like these people too much, instead, he has some disgust.
He frowned, "Although we come from the Diguo, now we are nominally Federation people."
"If these things are not discovered, it's fine, once discovered..."
"Luo Jiefu, you and your family will disappear."
He paused for a while, "Those Dantra businessmen know we fiercely earned a sum from them, when the time comes they will find a way to manufacture a confidential document to expose you, you want to cry and have no place to cry."
He thought for a while after saying this, "The newly arrived Federal Bureau of Investigation director Derike is an interesting person, you go contact him, just say you know some Dantra spies are active in the Federation, and then find a way to catch these people."
"Patriotic!"
"We will too!"
Luo Jiefu was originally very entangled about this matter, because the other party gave really too much, now that Lans said so, he also has nothing to hesitate.
"I know how to do it, Mr. Lans."
Lans raised his hand to indicate he could leave, he turned around and went to the Jincheng branch of the Federal Bureau of Investigation according to Lans's instructions.
If his driver was not also considered an old Jincheng person, he might not have heard of this department.
After all, even until now, many people don't even know what it mainly does, and who it serves!
Luo Jiefu came to the inconspicuous four-story building, he entered the lobby, and there was actually no one inside.
If it weren't for the sign of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (Jincheng Branch) hanging outside, he might even feel whether he found the wrong place.
He knocked on the front desk, and it took a long time for someone to run over.
A young man who looked only twenty-four or twenty-five, "Sir, do you have any questions?"
To be honest, this tone is not very polite, but Luo Jiefu doesn't care, he doesn't know what Lans's purpose is for letting him do this, but he knows he has to do it.
"I came... to report a crime."
He searched for a long time in his brain, and only found such a word to describe what he was going to do.
The young man was stunned for a while, then became a bit excited, "What crime do you want to report?"
Luo Jiefu felt that this young man was a bit unreliable, but continued to say, "I found some people suspected of being Dantra spies active in Jincheng, I feel they are ill-intentioned."
"I don't know if the police side manages this matter, so I came over to try my luck first."
These excuses actually couldn't support it at all, but young people are young people, without any experience, he immediately took this case.
"Haven't asked yet, how should I address you, sir?"
"Call me Luo Jiefu..."
