Chapter 666 Clues
Chapter 666 Clues
There was not such a high-level reception in Paris, but the passion after the meeting was something that Prince Salman could never give.
Marina watched Lucy and the others leave after getting off the plane, leaving Gao Yi alone. She knew what Gao Yi meant.
No need to pretend at all.
"I miss you so much. You've ruined my ability to focus on my work. You've made me think about you all the time."
Marina said in a complaining tone, and then she gave Gao Yi a big hug in front of her subordinates without any hesitation.
Gao Yi felt that this was inappropriate, so he whispered, "I miss you too, but there are so many people watching us now..."
Fortunately, Marina did not lose her mind. She let Gao Yi go and gave him a simple hug. But after getting in the car, she stopped pretending at all.
"Wow... okay."
Marina didn't care, so Gao Yi thought about it and decided to just stop being so serious.
After a passionate welcome, Marina finally let Gao Yi go, and then she whispered: "What's going on in the United States? The whole world is waiting for the outcome of the internal strife in the United States."
Gao Yi spread his hands and said, "I don't know, but in my opinion, since the Democratic Party has directly used assassins, then they really don't have any other good methods. Now that Panetta has taken over the Department of Homeland Security, the president has replaced most of the security personnel and increased the security level. I think there should be no problem."
Gao Yi was talking about things that everyone could see on the surface, because he could not see or understand the undercurrents hidden beneath the surface.
Marina waved her hand and said, "I know this. What I want to ask is, do you know who the president's clear enemy and target is?"
Gao Yi spread his hands and said, "I don't know, they didn't inform me."
In fact, Gao Yi didn’t want to ask, nor did he really want to know.
Considering Gao Yi's current size and status, he has too much to know, so these things are likely to become his business. Therefore, since he has chosen to stay out of it, it is best for him to just stand by and watch.
Of course, Gao Yi would not hide anything he knew and could say from Marina. Putting aside their personal relationship, Marina was still one of his golden legs.
"I have now completely taken over the dark web. If you have any needs or actions on the dark web in the future, you can tell me and I will definitely provide the convenience you need."
"Oh? That's good too. We do use the dark web quite often. We only used it rarely before, but we can increase our business on the dark web in the future."
Looking at Gao Yi, Marina said seriously: "Are you safe now? If your safety cannot be guaranteed in the United States, then stay here."
Gao Yi nodded, and then he said seriously: "I have asked someone to buy real estate near Paris. I will build a few places to stay here. If I have time, I will live here permanently."
Marina meant that she should not go to the United States and should just stay in France in the future, but Gao Yi meant that he would come to France often in the future. This was also a polite refusal of Marina's invitation, but it was very gentle, and Marina could accept it.
"That's good. That's great. At least I can see you more often in the future."
Marina began to feel resentful, which was different from her previous free and easy attitude.
Gao Yi exhaled and said seriously: "Do you know anything about zilch?"
"Zilch?"
"The number one killer on the dark web is not a killer organization, but a killer's code name. However, according to our investigation, this is unlikely to be the name of a single person. We are investigating him, but there is not enough progress."
Gao Yi changed the subject smoothly. He sighed and said, "The biggest threat to me now is this Zilch. Benzi offered a reward of several billion dollars to kill me, and Zilch accepted the order. Now I control the dark web and have sent a negotiation invitation to Zilch through my account, but I have not received any response."
"How could he possibly respond? Whether it's an individual or an organization, they will now completely break away from the dark web system."
Marina knew that Gao Yi was trying to change the subject, but she did care about him. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly said, "I seem to have heard of this name, but it seems a bit far-fetched."
Gao Yi looked surprised and asked, "What do you know?"
"Well, it's been a long time. It's about the American branch of the French Ulster Company."
Gao Yi listened attentively, and Marina thought seriously for a long time, and finally said: "I saw this word in a file. Note, it was just this word. At that time, this word came from a conversation. How should I explain it..."
After thinking again, Marina exhaled and said, "Okay, I need to briefly explain it from beginning to end. At that time, Ulster was involved in a bribery investigation. The US Department of Justice wanted to impose a high fine on Ulster. Ulster requested national support, and we sent people to provide some help within our capacity. Then, the people from Ulster's US branch made a suggestion that as long as the key witness died, there would be no direct evidence to prove that they bribed. However, this suggestion was rejected. That's for sure. No one can take this risk. However, at the critical stage of the Ministry of Justice's investigation, the key witness really died."
Marina spread her hands and said, "In 2013, the key witness who could directly prove that Ulster had bribed committed suicide at home. Then in 2014, Ulster reached a private settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, admitted to bribery, and agreed to pay a fine of $7 million. But you have to know that if this key witness had not died, they would have had to pay a fine of more than $ billion."
Gao Yi nodded and said, "So it was Zilch who took action?"
"I'm not sure, but the secret file I saw was that the American manager of Ulster once said something. He said that many things can be handed over to some small people. These inconspicuous small people can solve the problems very well. It was this word, zilch, that referred to small people in his context, and he said this word twice. I'm not sure if this incident is related to zilch, but zilch is not often used to refer to small people. He didn't say non-person, not a nobody, he said zilch, and this American professional manager is a very powerful person, so maybe there is a connection."
It was very troublesome to investigate Zilch before, because there was no mission, no information about the employer, and no information about the target. It was really difficult to investigate based on a name out of thin air. It is now impossible to confirm whether the FBI agent who shot Gao Yi is a member of Zilch.
Therefore, the clues provided by Marina are still very valuable, and with the clues, there will be countless people helping Gao Yi to investigate.
Gao Yi smiled and said, "You've been a great help. What's the name of that professional manager?"
