Chapter 1600: Letter of War

PS: The chapter name is wrong: Chapter 1599 War Letter.

...

Germany, West Berlin.

Li Zitao's plane has just landed, and Celia and Yixi are waiting outside the airport.

"Hi, my son." As soon as he walked out of the airport, Li Zitao opened his arms to Yixi from afar, and rushed up with a smile on his face.

Celia presides over the business of Hualian in Europe in West Berlin, and West Berlin, which is gradually recovering from the reconstruction, is full of opportunities.

Naturally, it is also full of anxiety, contradictions and conflicts. A pattern of opposition between East and West has been formed. People here cannot feel safe and become extremely vigilant and sensitive.

There is a lack of basic trust between people, mutual suspicion and hostility.

Because only in this way can the East and West Berlin under the rule of two different ideologies continue to exist, and the people who live here can continue to exist.

The reckoning continued, and the situation in East Berlin was even more dire than in West Berlin.

In West Berlin you only have to think about jail time and confiscation of property.

Things could only get worse in East Berlin, with property, land, machinery and everything being dismantled and taken away from individuals.

All industries that served the military during the war were brutally purged.

All without exception, they will be thrown into a labor camp to be toiled until the moment they finally fall.

But these have nothing to do with them, and have nothing to do with Hualian's business.

It's just that the tense atmosphere on the street inevitably makes people tense, as can be seen from the number of bodyguards around Celia.

It was just to pick him up at the airport. Celia was followed by three cars, plus the driver and co-pilot for him, a total of 14 people.

In addition, Li Zitao noticed that when their car moved, four cars followed from the opposite side of the street and around the corner.

Judging from the reaction of the co-pilot's bodyguard, those should all be theirs.

"Very tight security." Li Zitao said to the safety director of the co-pilot.

The other party just smiled and nodded, and continued to look out of the car vigilantly. For them, there was only one BOSS during work.

Now, their bosses are Celia and Issy.

The car drove all the way to the suburbs, turned into a fork in the middle of the road and drove for about 10 minutes, and a magnificent and beautiful manor came into view.

It has a wall made of red bricks full of original beauty, and a tall and pointed milky white fence gate.

The open space in front of the manor is full of bright red roses, and they are well cared for.

Behind the two rows of flower beds is the castle-like building full of medieval style, and the walls are covered with creepers.

Li Zitao said in admiration, "It's a beautiful place."

"Dad, I'll take you to the fish pond at the back, there are a lot of fish there, you have to take a look..." Issie who came to the manor was very active, as if returning to her own territory.

Jumping off the car, he dragged Li Zitao straight to the back of the castle.

There is indeed a very large fish pond at the back, almost half the area of ​​the castle, with a white bridge in the middle that allows people to pass over the fish pond.

It is more appropriate to describe it as a man-made lake than a fish pond.

Izzy always likes to stay here, lying on the armrest and looking at it all day long.

When Li Zitao saw this artificial lake full of fish, the only thing he thought of was, ‘This is a good place for fishing and leisure. '

All it takes is an ice bucket by the lake, a few cold beers, and a chair to do it all.

"It would be great if I could have another sandwich." Li Zitao said to himself.

Yixi raised her head and asked curiously, "What? Are you hungry?"

"A little bit, do you want to eat?"

Looking at the pool full of braised, steamed, spicy, boiled, garlic, sashimi...

Li Zitao was indeed a little hungry.

"Do you understand what is going on in West Berlin? We are developing very well here." Celia wanted to talk to him about the recent situation of Hualian.

Li Zitao didn't want to start talking about business just after arriving in West Berlin to meet his woman and child.

"We still have a lot of time, this is a relaxing holiday, baby, don't let work ruin the holiday!" Li Zitao kissed her cheek and smiled.

Every holiday, Li Zitao is full of hope that he can spend a peaceful and stable holiday trip, just like his family in Bermuda.

It's just that every time he goes out alone, something always seems to happen.

...

New York, Wells Fargo International Bank.

The FBI has been investigating money laundering, and with the rise of drug cartels, proliferation and tax evasion, targeted investigations have become more rigorous.

Not only the ones that are in circulation in the market, but the first thing they focus on is the big banks in various places.

Whether it is for serious business or for these people, banks are the most convenient and safe channel for capital circulation.

Under the temptation of interests, they came up with various means of money laundering.

Including but not limited to real estate, casinos, nightclubs and various charities, all of which have become hardest hit areas for money laundering.

As a big bank at the top of the Wall Street pyramid, Wells Fargo International Bank is naturally also within the scope of their investigation.

And it is the focus of investigation, but this has nothing to do with the loan department.

However, in the past two days, Juliana intervened in the investigation under the pretext of intervening, and intercepted a batch of funds on this ground.

The money came from the Li's Higher Education Student Fund.

It should have been transferred to the Chicago branch of Western Union College today, and then transferred to the public account of the research laboratory that cooperates with the University of Chicago to purchase new equipment and experiments.

Now the money has been seized due to "suspicious sources" and it will take 1 to 3 months to recover. One can imagine how much trouble this will cause.

Mary received the news immediately, because in her place, any situation of the foundation must be reported immediately.

That's right, this money is not from Li's donation, but from outside donations, donations from anonymous accounts.

This amount of money is 300,000 US dollars, which is not a small amount...

Yes, it may have come from an unknown individual or institution, but Mr. Lee was definitely not involved in money laundering.

Mary is very clear about this, and she also knows that Fuguo should belong to her own people, and they should stand on her side.

But according to the information she has, someone from Fuguo took the initiative to hand over the records of this transaction.

It's not difficult to find out about this kind of thing. Mary just made a few phone calls and got a name.

Then follow the name to search up, and soon find out everyone.

These people all have a name behind them; Juliana Rothschild.

"Is this a provocation?" Mary sat in the castle, smiling and throwing the documents on the table.

She was pregnant again, flushed with a maternal halo, just as she had been with twins for the first time.

It's just that there are two more fine lines at the corners of her eyes. If you don't observe carefully, she looks no different from the photo from more than ten years ago.
