Chapter 310 I’ve been waiting for you for a long time
After coming out of Luo Minzhi's residence, An Rushong went upstairs alone with a gloomy face. When he arrived at his door, he did not open the door directly, but stopped at the door and lit a cigarette for himself.
Luo Minzhi's previous judgment was not wrong. He was indeed very angry and annoyed now. His previous calmness and composure were all pretended. In fact, he really wanted to catch the Bill on the phone and kill him.
That's right, the other party spoke very nicely on the phone before, and his tone was even a bit humble. It was unimaginably difficult for these US military officers stationed in South Korea to speak to a Korean in this tone. Especially Bill, he was the so-called "advisor" in the 2nd Division of the Korean Army, dealing with Korean soldiers and officers all day long. In his eyes, Koreans were probably not even second-class citizens.
Just now, this guy apologized and flattered on the phone, acting completely inferior to others. He even described the woman who came to his door as a gift, while all he wanted was a meeting with An Rusong.
Would An Rushong believe such a thing?
He is not a two or three-year-old child, how could he be fooled by a few sweet words from the other party? What's more, what the other party did today contained multiple intentions. The other party did not hide anything, how could he not see it?
By sending Pei Xialin to his mansion in Songquan Cave, Bill and his men were not only telling An Rushong that they knew where he lived, but they were also hinting to him that they had a full understanding of him, so if those people wanted to take action against him, it would not be difficult.
What is this? Without a doubt, this is a naked threat to him, and it threatens not only him, but also the women around him.
No one likes to be threatened by others, and An Rushong is no exception. The most important thing is that for a reborn person like him, he may not have deep feelings for his family in Yuantongli, but he still has deep feelings for Sun Manzhu and Li Caicao, with whom he has lived for so long. What's more, the latter is pregnant with his child. No matter from which perspective, he cannot allow anyone to use these two women as a tool to threaten him.
After smoking a cigarette outside the door to calm the anger in his heart, An Rushong took out the key, opened the door, and returned to his residence.
The reason why he smoked a cigarette outside was because he didn't want to bring negative emotions home. This might be due to a male chauvinistic mentality, or maybe he simply didn't want to make the woman at home worry.
The lights were still on in the living room, but there was no one there. The TV was still on, but the volume was turned down to the lowest setting.
An Rushong first went to take a look at Li Caicao's bedroom. The lights were off in the bedroom, and even breathing sounds could be heard coming from under the raised quilt.
He took a careful look with the help of the light in the living room and made sure that the woman had fallen asleep. Then he carefully closed the door again and went to Sun Manzhu's room diagonally opposite.
The door of Sun Manzhu's room was ajar, and there were faint voices coming from inside. An Rusong walked over, but didn't open the door, and took a look inside through the crack. He saw Sun Manzhu and Rubin in pajamas, sitting cross-legged on the bed and talking. They were talking and laughing, and it was obvious that they were quite happy.
After letting out a light breath, An Rushong turned and went to his study.
The desk lamp on the study was on, a pot of barley tea was heating on the small electric tea stove, and a spotlessly clean ashtray, cigarettes, lighters, and a plate of fruit were all placed on the desk. Needless to say, these were all prepared for him in advance by Sun Manzhu.
I have to say that Sun Manzhu is now becoming more and more like a good wife and mother, at least much better than the other women around An Rushong, oh, except Jiang Xiuyuan.
Smelling the faint scent of lavender in the air, An Rusong's mood improved a little. He walked around the desk and lit a cigarette for himself before taking out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and sitting down on a chair.
Placing his cell phone on the desk in front of him and pulling up the address book, An Rushong stared at Jenny's contact information for a while, but eventually gave up the idea of contacting this woman.
It has to be said that as a Korean, even a Korean who already has a certain status, An Rushong is still in a position that is not to say disadvantaged, but at least not advantageous, when facing American soldiers like Bill and Wilder.
Even if he knew that the other party was trafficking drugs through the US military mail system and had the ability to expose it, the real problem was that he only knew this but did not have clear evidence. In other words, he had no way to nail the other party down, let alone bring him to court. Moreover, considering the stationing agreement signed between the United States and South Korea, even if he really had clear evidence in his hands and could nail the other party down for drug trafficking, what would the result be?
If nothing unexpected happens, even if the drug trafficking activities of Bill, Wilder and others are known to everyone in South Korea, in the end, these people will not be brought to justice. The most likely possibility is that they will be deported back to the United States, and then change their positions and continue their military careers.
What's more serious is that once An Rushong exposes the drug trafficking of Bill and others, the other party will definitely carry out crazy revenge on him. Under equal circumstances, if the other party harms him or someone around him, he may not necessarily be punished by law in the end.
On the other hand, if he took the initiative and killed the other party, then the killing of a school-level officer of the US Army in South Korea would be a big deal. Apart from other things, at least the US Army in South Korea would have to investigate it to the end. If someone eventually locked the suspect on An Rusong, then even with his current identity, he might not be able to be saved. At least, he would have to pay a huge price.
Therefore, as a citizen of a colonial country, this is the tragedy. Koreans often joke that South Korea is the 51st state of the United States. In fact, in An Rusong's view, this is not self-mockery at all, but self-promotion. After all, the citizenship rights of all states in the United States are equal.
In the final analysis, the bad situation An Rusong is facing now is that he can't do anything to Bill and his men, but if the other party is determined, it can really cause him a lot of trouble. Apart from anything else, they can instigate a few American soldiers to kill him, but on the other hand, can he hire someone to kill them?
In fact, Jenny's previous advice to him was not wrong. From a realistic point of view, when he faced Wilder and his people, his best choice was to become friends with them, at least friends on the surface. They could either get along harmoniously or pretend to be friendly, rather than standing on the opposite side.
However, as a person of An Rushong's level, he naturally would not regret the decisions he made. For him, if trouble comes to him, he has to find a way to deal with it instead of regretting what he should or should not have done.
Giving up the idea of looking for Jenny, An Rushong turned to find Leonard's contact information. However, after finding Leonard's phone number, he did not call it immediately, but stared at the other party's phone number and thought for a long time.
If you want to restrain people like Bill and Wilder, the best way is naturally to use people with the same identity as them but with a higher level. To put it bluntly, it is people who have a higher level in the US military system.
Leonard is in charge of intelligence work, but the NSA he works for is part of the U.S. Department of Defense. According to An Rusong, a large number of NSA employees have military backgrounds, especially among mid- and senior-level employees, those with military ranks dominate.
Jenny had previously revealed that Leonard worked at the Cheyenne Mountain Military Base before entering the NSA system, which means that he has a military background. Of course, the key is not whether Leonard has a military background, but the special status of the NSA. At the same time, An Rushong himself is engaged in a very important cooperation with the NSA. As the person leading this cooperation project, Leonard needs a figure like An Rushong.
Therefore, An Rusong's consideration is to restrain Bill and others through Leonard. By the way, he can also test Leonard's attitude towards himself and see whether he really occupies a sufficiently important position in the other party's mind.
If Leonard can make a difference in this matter and provide him with enough help, it will be enough to prove that the other party really values him as the president of NGN and has a long-term and stable attitude in cooperating with NGN. On the contrary, An Rusong will have to consider his attitude in cooperating with NSA - he really can't refuse to cooperate with NSA, but the difference between active cooperation and passive cooperation is still very obvious.
Of course, An Rushong was also mentally prepared, that is, once this call was made, once Leonard provided him with more help, he might also need to give up certain interests to the other party. This was almost inevitable. After all, Leonard was not a saint.
Sitting at the desk, until he finished smoking a cigarette, An Rushong finally picked up his mobile phone, selected Leonard's number and dialed it.
The busy tone on the phone only rang twice, and someone answered it immediately. Soon, Leonard's voice came from the other side: "Good evening, Mr. An, I finally got your call."
An Rusong was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Mr. Leonard, are you waiting for my call?"
"Haha." Leonard laughed a few times and then said, "We need to meet and talk, Mr. An."
