Chapter 668 Major Progress
Chapter 668 Major Progress
A short separation is better than a new marriage, and since they were not married in the first place, Gao Yi naturally wanted to reward Marina well, so he stayed in Marina's house for the first time and spent a wonderful night in this gentle land.
That is, after a night had passed, Gao Yi, who had not yet woken up, received a call from Xinfeng.
"We found out something. Thomas McVeigh is not a zlich, but his brother may be."
Gao Yi was still a little confused, but after hearing these words, he suddenly came to his senses.
"Oh? What's going on?"
"Actually, there is nothing wrong. Thomas' personal assets exceed one billion US dollars. His financial transactions are normal and his financial situation is very healthy. He has no reason to engage in illegal transactions in the underground world. He only supports the Donkey Party to a limited extent, but he is definitely not against the Donkey Party. I can say that he is a normal billionaire."
Gao Yi didn't quite understand what he heard, so he said in confusion: "Everything is normal. What do you think he is doing?"
"Too normal is abnormal. A billionaire doesn't have any stains. I mean, he doesn't have the stains that a normal billionaire should have. This is the biggest abnormality."
Gao Yi thought for a long time and said, "I don't understand."
"Okay, let me explain it to you. It's normal for a billionaire not to evade taxes, but is it normal for him not to reasonably avoid taxes?"
“Isn’t that normal?”
"That's not normal! Thomas's background is so clean, there are only two possibilities. He is a saint, or someone has helped him clean up everything and concealed everything that cannot be seen by others."
"What does it have to do with zilch?"
"It doesn't seem to matter, but the problem is that his brother is a star agent of the FBI and is now the assistant to the FBI director. In other words, his brother is already a big shot in the FBI."
"Oh, oh oh."
"you understood?"
"I still don't quite understand, but if you say there is a problem, then there must be a problem. Since we have found that this person is indeed problematic, then we should arrest him."
"You can't arrest him, please. He's a billionaire, law-abiding, without any stains or scandals. He even has a brother who is a high-ranking FBI official. Why would you arrest him?"
"Well, what do you mean?"
"We can't arrest him openly, so we can only investigate secretly. Of course, there's nothing to worry about. Even if we kill Thomas, what can we do? But now we want to find Zilch's whereabouts, so I need your permission. I plan to send someone to talk to Thomas in the name of the dark web."
Gao Yi was a little puzzled. He asked doubtfully, "It's just such a small matter. Do you still need to tell me? You can just send someone to do it."
Xinfeng said seriously: "You have to understand that this is a battle between the dark web and Zilch. If the McVeigh brothers are really Zilch, then after we have gone to find Thomas, or even directly killed Thomas, what should we do next?"
"The next step is of course to catch all of Zilch in one fell swoop. Is there any need to ask that?"
"But is it that simple? I hope you understand that if the McVeigh brothers are really Zilch, then our relationship is no longer the relationship between the platform and the customer, nor is it the relationship between the killer and the target. Instead, it becomes a direct conflict between the Garden and Zilch. So I made this call just to remind you and get your permission."
"I agree."
"receive."
"That's it for now, nothing else..." "Wait a moment."
Xin Feng asked Gao Yi to wait for a moment, and then he said softly: "Then I will do it now."
Gao Yi was stunned and asked in astonishment: "What do you mean?"
"I'm outside Thomas McVeigh's house right now. We have surrounded his mansion. We can't arrest his brother, but we can arrest Thomas. You only have to consider one question. If Thomas McVeigh is really a problem, then Mr. Panetta will take over. But if Thomas is fine... you have to think about how to deal with it."
"Okay, I'll take care of it if anything goes wrong, you can go ahead and do it boldly."
Gao Yi wanted to be a hands-off boss, but the people around him couldn't just leave him aside with peace of mind.
One is that Xinfeng is not bold enough to be lawless, and the other is that he is powerless to clean up the mess after it is really made, so it is normal to call Gao Yi before doing anything.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yi put it aside.
Marina said very gently: "What's wrong?"
"We found the Thomas McVeigh you mentioned. He does seem to have some issues, but we can't be sure right now, so my people plan to arrest him and interrogate him first. If we can find out something, that would be great. If not, I'll have to clean up their mess."
Marina frowned and said, "Do you need to go back and deal with it?"
"No, I don't need to handle such a small matter myself."
Marina felt much more relieved, but Gao Yi's hands became naughty again. He looked at Marina in front of him and smiled, "Since we've been woken up, let's do it again..."
Before he finished speaking, the phone rang again.
Gao Yi picked up the phone helplessly, only to find that it was Xin Feng calling again. He answered the phone and heard Xin Feng whispering, "We broke into Thomas's house and caught him. I only asked him one question. I asked him if he knew zilch. If he didn't know, you were dead. Then, he said he knew."
"Is it so direct?"
Gao Yi couldn't believe his ears. In his memory, Xinfeng was not such a reckless person. How come he became like Yuri now, liking to go straight to the point and solve problems with a rough attitude?
"You can't be indirect. We are doing this in the form of killing to silence the witnesses. This is the easiest way. Okay, now you have to come. You may need to come in person to discuss the next matter."
Gao Yi was puzzled. He asked in confusion: "Why do I have to talk in person?"
"Because Thomas said he wanted to cooperate with you, he can only talk to you. Of course, we can forcibly interrogate him and make him tell us everything he knows, but I think cooperation may be a better option."
Things were happening incredibly fast and so smoothly. Gao Yi instinctively felt that something was wrong, but Xin Feng's next words dispelled Gao Yi's doubts.
"Thomas said he also wants to get rid of Zilch. He needs to talk to you in detail, otherwise he would rather die than cooperate. I think it's not impossible for me to torture him, so it's your choice whether to come or not."
Gao Yi exhaled and said, "I understand. I will go back to meet him, calm him down, and control him. The rest will be dealt with when I get there."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yi said to Marina: "I'm sorry, I have to leave. I have to go back and deal with it."
