Chapter 63 Can’t hold it back
Chapter 63 Can’t hold it back
I'm very excited, very expectant, and very nervous.
But you can't just be excited and nervous. The most important thing now is to look at the position of the security personnel. If they really start to fight, you have to think about which direction to run.
While the target had not yet entered the door, Gao Yi, with his mobile phone in his hand, quickly opened the dark web page, quickly found the entrance to the C-level task, and took on the task with Bu San's account.
Gao Yi accepted the task just when it was almost time to start, and he can be said to have tasted the sweetness.
Putting the phone in his pocket, Gao Yi calmly moved towards the entrance. However, when he was almost at the castle gate, he was shocked to find that the owner of the place, Henry, had gone to the other side with Diso.
what's the situation?
What's going on!
Henry led the way, and a dozen people came from the lawn where the helicopter landed, and then went to the other side of the castle.
At that moment, Gao Yi's heart sank. He took his mobile phone out of his pocket, silently turned off the evidence recording function, and chose not to upload it.
Evidence does not necessarily require video. Having a video is of course good, but many times it is impossible to provide video evidence, like now, so we have to give up recording the video.
There are also situations where you can't even bring a mobile phone. Does that mean you can't do it without recording a video? This is definitely impossible.
Suppressing his impatience for the moment, Gao Yi once again turned his attention to the decoration of the hall.
I was in an unstable state of mind and had no mood to look at anything. Only when I looked at the two sets of full body armor at the stairs did I feel a little better. And when I looked at the full body armor holding a hammer at the corner of the stairs, I immediately felt at ease.
"You haven't really developed a habit of using a hammer, have you?"
Gao Yi muttered to himself, then he began to look at the war hammer carefully.
The round hammer with thorns looks quite powerful, but the handle is a little long, about 40 centimeters. If it is called a one-handed hammer, the hammer head is too big, and if it is called a two-handed hammer, the handle is a little short.
But I don’t know if it’s just a showpiece.
Just as Gao Yi was stroking his chin and examining the hammer, he suddenly heard someone beside him say, "Mr. Zhang, are you also interested in armor?"
Gao Yi turned around and found that the person talking to him was the manager of the gallery.
We have been in the castle for more than half an hour, and there is no one who speaks English. Moreover, these French guys are very annoying. Even if they can speak English, they refuse to speak it in this place where almost all people are French.
Gao Yi pointed at the armor in front of him and said, "I was wondering if it would look good if I put a few of them in my castle."
The manager smiled and said, "Please trust your aesthetic taste, Mr. Zhang. The full body armor and the castle are a perfect match."
Gao Yi didn't say anything, just looked back twice.
The number of people in the hall has become noticeably denser.
The dinner will start at 7 o'clock and end at 9 o'clock, and the charity auction will start during the dinner, that is, people will bid while eating. As the host, Henry will take out five oil paintings for auction, and all the proceeds will be donated to a charity foundation.
The painting was brought out by Henry, and the money to buy the painting was paid by Henry. If the painting was not well received, someone would definitely buy it at a reasonable price. The charity foundation was controlled by Henry.
Then, if someone is willing to give their belongings to charity, an auction will be held temporarily, and the proceeds will still be given to the charity fund controlled by Henry.
Anyway, it is a complete closed loop, and the main point is that the money will not flow into the fields of outsiders. If there really is a fool who is willing to donate money for charity during the auction, such as Gao Yi, then Henry will naturally be very happy.
The overall process is clearly stated on the invitation.
The time is already six fifty, and Gao Yi wants to know when his master Henry will appear.
Logically speaking, Henry should have come out to greet the guests at this time. Even if he lowered the status of the guests, he couldn't just leave them here and do nothing. However, the dinner was about to begin, but he still refused to come out. This was very wrong.
At this moment, many waiters, both male and female, began to appear from the small doors on both sides of the hall. They filed out from both sides and went directly to each guest. After whispering a few words, they began to lead the guests to the dining table.
Is this about to start?
Why didn’t the host give a speech? Why didn’t the host ask everyone to take a seat?
Although there were many people in the hall, it was still very quiet, so quiet that it didn't seem like a dinner party was being held.
A waiter in a formal dress walked up to Gao Yi and the gallery manager, then bowed slightly and spoke a few words in French, then immediately switched to English, saying, "Good evening, Mr. Zhang. The dinner is about to begin. Please let me take you to your seat."
The English-speaking waiter must have been specially arranged. Gao Yi looked at the gallery manager, smiled, and then said to the waiter, "Thank you."
The waiter still said politely: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Pierre, please follow me."
The waiter kept one hand extended, suggesting inviting them in, as he walked in front to lead the way for Gao Yi and the gallery manager.
Gao Yi couldn't help but look at the manager and said, "They are really well prepared."
The manager smiled and said, “Yes.”
As the only Chinese person present, Gao Yi was treated differently, and his waiter was obviously arranged, so he didn't have to worry about language problems at all.
The waiter walked to a table, pulled the chair away a little, and said to Gao Yi, "Mr. Zhang, please."
It was only then that Gao Yi noticed a name tag written on the back of the chair. He nodded and sat down. After he sat down, the waiter pulled out another chair and asked the gallery manager to sit down.
Gao Yi sat next to the manager so that he would have an interpreter.
I have to say Henry's arrangements were really good.
Gao Yi looked at his position. His position was in the middle, but relatively far back. The reference point was the auction table on the side of the dining table, on which there was an auction gavel.
Obviously, after a while, the auction table will become the focus of the dinner.
The distance is probably about twenty meters. It's too far and it's not easy to do.
At this time, someone also came to the chair on Gao Yi's right. She was a beauty, a very beautiful woman.
The two chairs were fifty centimeters apart. When the beauty next to her was about to sit down, Gao Yi stood up and stretched out his hand to support her. Then the beauty smiled at Gao Yi, then stretched out her hand and said something in French.
Gao Yi shook hands with the beautiful woman and said in English: "Sorry, I only speak English. Good evening, ma'am. Nice to meet you."
Gao Yi only mastered the basic etiquette, but he didn't know whether it was appropriate to use it here.
"Hi, nice to meet you."
After a simple greeting, Gao Yi sat back in his chair as it was not the time to chat. He stopped talking to the beauty next to him and looked at the knife and fork on the table.
Just then, Henry finally showed up.
He didn't walk in from outside, but came down the stairs directly. Behind him were two middle-aged men in suits but with serious expressions. It was obvious at a glance that they were bodyguards.
Henry was fat, bald, and had a Mediterranean hairstyle. He walked to the auction table with a smile on his face and gave a passionate speech into the microphone.
Gao Yi didn't understand a word Henry said, but fortunately the manager was there to translate. Henry's words were meaningless, just thanking everyone for coming, welcoming everyone to this charity dinner, and thanking everyone for their contributions to charity. Just as Henry was speaking, another group of people came down the stairs.
The one walking in the front was Diso.
But I don't know what play this is about. Henry was speaking and Diso was coming down the stairs. The two of them appeared one after the other, but not at the same time.
What are you doing?
No matter what they are doing, Gao Yi now just wants to go up and finish the job in a few clicks.
But the bodyguards around Diso stopped Gao Yi's impulse.
Diso's bodyguards are not on the same level as African warlords and Mexican drug lords.
There were eight people in total. Although they followed behind Diso, their eyes were always on every corner where danger might occur. They stood in front and behind, with two people standing close to Diso, two people slightly in front, and four people following behind him.
The biggest trouble is that it is too far away.
The distance was at least twenty meters, and Gao Yi had no doubt that as long as he stood up, the bodyguards would immediately notice him. If he showed any intention of approaching Diso, the bodyguards would shoot without hesitation.
There's no way to do this, there's really no way to do this.
Diso sat at a table that was at the front but also at the edge, with his bodyguard standing behind him. This was somewhat out of tune with the atmosphere in the hall, but because of his identity, no one would say anything.
Henry finished his welcome speech and took his seat at the same table as Diso.
There were only four people at the table, but eight bodyguards completely separated them from ordinary guests, so that Gao Yi could not see Diso.
This was not a good idea, and Gao Yi couldn't think of any good solution.
The dinner officially began, and the waiters began to serve appetizers and pour wine. Only at this time did whispers and laughter begin to be heard at the dinner.
Gao Yi had no appetite, but he was still chatting and laughing with the manager next to him, and the beautiful woman next to him also talked to him from time to time.
It was not until the main course was served and the dinner had been going on forty minutes that someone finally walked quickly to the auction table. Then, just as the guests began to enjoy the cold appetizers, the auctioneer began to speak in French.
"He said the charity auction will last a long time, so start now and everyone can enjoy the food while bidding."
Gao Yi looked at the manager who was translating in confusion and said, "Uh, excuse me, but this isn't how charity dinners are held, right?"
The manager smiled and said, "This is... a brand new attempt."
Gao Yi could probably guess that this was Henry's way of shortening the duration of the dinner. As long as the dinner could be successfully held, he no longer cared about the intermediate links and processes.
Two people carried a painting towards the auction table. The auctioneer pointed at the painting and began to introduce it, but the gallery manager next to Gao Yi looked surprised and did not translate for Gao Yi.
Gao Yi couldn't help but asked, "What did he say? What is this painting..."
The manager said with a troubled look on his face: "Uh, this painting, this painting... the starting price is 500,000 euros, is..."
The manager hesitated, and before he finished speaking, the auctioneer had already started raising his hand to ask for a price, but strangely, none of the guests present raised their hands to make a bid.
At this moment, a voice sounded, and Diso stood up and said loudly: "I'll pay 500,000 euros."
The deal was finalized and no one competed with Diso for the item. Diso seemed to know that no one would compete with him for the item, so he put on a kind smile and waved to the guests.
It was not very clear from a distance, but Gao Yi always felt that Diso seemed very anxious, as if he couldn't wait for it to be over quickly.
There was only one bid, and the auctioneer asked three times but no one raised the price, so the hammer fell and the deal was done.
Disso, who was supposed to be the last to appear, was the first to complete the auction, with 500,000 euros, which gave Henry face, but it was also full of weirdness.
What's the hurry for Diso?
Did he know there was danger?
Just when Gao Yi was confused, he found that Diso actually got up and left, escorted by a group of bodyguards, and went straight to the stairs.
How can we do this? Is it even possible to do this?
Gao Yi was very anxious, but he couldn't show it.
Forget it, the distance is too far, it's impossible, and any rash actions will lead to disastrous consequences.
Gao Yi watched Diso go upstairs and disappear around the corner.
After Henry sent Diso to the stairs, he turned back. Then, he finally picked up the wine glass and began to walk between the tables to toast the guests and say a few words.
Gao Yi was very confused.
Just now he felt that every second seemed like a year, and now he felt that time passed too quickly. When Gao Yi was confused, Henry had already arrived in front of his table.
Tight on the outside and loose on the inside.
Henry only had a butler with him, and didn't even have a bodyguard.
But the main target had already gone upstairs and no one knew where he was.
And now, Henry had stood in front of Gao Yi. When everyone at Gao Yi's table stood up, he stood directly opposite Gao Yi.
Henry raised his glass and smiled at Gao Yi: "Welcome..."
It was spoken in French and Gao Yi didn't understand.
Gao Yi also raised his wine glass with a smile on his face, and then he had something in his mind.
"Do it or not, do it or not, do it or not, do it or not..."
When he saw Henry raising his glass and showing his Adam's apple, Gao Yi's heart, which had been thundering, suddenly became silent.
Gao Yi raised the cup with his right hand and punched with his left hand like lightning.
Just one punch, thrown horizontally, hit Henry's carotid sinus, and then smashed Henry's entire Adam's apple into pieces.
Henry fell down without a sound.
The people around Henry didn't even react to what was happening, except for his butler who just stared with his eyes wide open.
Or the beautiful woman next to Gao Yi suddenly screamed at the top of her lungs.
"what……"
Gao Yi threw away the wine glass with his right hand, shook it with his left hand, and said angrily: "Damn, I couldn't help it!"
