Chapter 1,708 Speculation

"It's not Aiden...it's Ariel..."

After speaking, Li Zitao suddenly realized that Jiabao had never seen her before.

So, Ariel’s life experience was briefly explained.

"That's right." Garbo looked at him a little doubtfully, "She got into trouble?"

"It's more than just getting into trouble." Li Zitao said, crying and laughing; "This matter has to start when... Xu Man passed away."

At the mention of this name, Li Zitao looked sad, with deep guilt in his eyes.

Xu Man's sudden illness, arrangements and requests before his death.

The chairmanship of the casino, shares, and development committee, the secret hands of the five major families in New York, the destruction of the two major families, Ariel's stubbornness and persistence.

All the causes and consequences were told to Garbo verbatim.

In the night, only fireflies were flying around. Garbo supported his cheek with his hands and listened seriously to what had happened and was happening.

"Are you...suspecting something?" Jiabao looked at him uncertainly.

"What?" Something strange flashed in Li Zitao's eyes.

"I don't know what you are suspecting, but I can tell... you don't seem to be angry just because of what she did."

Garbo was also a little confused. It sounded like he had already told everything that happened, but she could feel that there was a deeper meaning hidden in it.

"Yes." Li Zitao admitted directly and said softly: "There is something you want to verify. I was assassinated?"

"Ah~" Jiabao stood up nervously and said anxiously: "When, were you injured, and who did it?"

"I don't know yet." Li Zitao said with interest: "Although I don't know who it is, that person can clearly know the time and place when I will appear, and bribe the bodyguards around me - it was very dangerous that time, if It’s not that I sensed danger…”

Thinking back carefully, the assassination was really dangerous. If Wang Kui hadn't been there and he realized the danger in time, he might be gone now.

Although Li Zitao has always been vigilant and attached great importance to the safety of himself and his family, he never thought that danger would lurk around him.

If you want to join SHIELD, you will first go through a screening, and then there will be different levels of review in the junior, intermediate, and advanced training camps.

Special guards who are able to enter the advanced training camp will have their experiences investigated almost from birth.

If you want to be promoted to an S-class special guard, not only do you have to undergo the most stringent review, but your family organization, interpersonal relationships, etc. must also undergo the same review.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't become an S-class special guard if you have any potential flaws.

However, these special guards will be marked, and this mark only targets one person, and that is Li Zitao himself.

Any marked S-class special guard, even in the most inconspicuous situation, would never be able to join his security team.

Otherwise, Li Zitao would not be so confident in the security around him.

Such strict precautions allowed people to take advantage of the loopholes. For Li Zitao, it was a heavy blow to his self-confidence.

If you can't even guarantee your own safety, what else is there to say?

Li Zitao is afraid of death. He doesn't feel that there is anything to be ashamed of, because facts have proved that those who are afraid of death live well.

Those who are not afraid of death will die.

So, choice is important.

I don’t know how Danny’s investigation is going—

Logically speaking, with the death of Gastina, the disintegration of power should have come to an end.

However, Li Zitao did not think that Gastina was the only one involved in this matter.

There were many reasons that made him suspicious. The biggest loophole was how Gastina picked two of his bodyguards who could be bribed.

Fortunately for Wang Kui, because he was Chinese and had just joined, he designated and showed enough trust in the person.

Gastina will think that he is not easy to bribe, but might alert him.

But...what happened to David?

Why did he only choose the other two people and not find David?

Because the other party thinks that two people are enough, or is it just a coincidence?

Li Zitao didn't think there would be such a lucky coincidence, but he chose two betrayers out of the three people.

Hans...?

Li Zitao's expression became extremely heavy. Hans held too many secrets about Aegis and had multiple identities.

Minister of SHIELD, Chief Instructor, Special Advisor to the Department of Defense, Special Advisor to the Joint Operations Command in Washington...

The rest of the identity is easy to say, but the Ministry of Defense is a bit troublesome.

actually--

If you are willing to pay some price, it is not a big trouble.

He is just a consultant inside and outside. In the world of capital, are there not many big names who have disappeared?

Time is too tight, Truman will step down in two months.

I don’t know how far the navy’s investigation has progressed, but Li Zitao hasn’t paid attention to it for a while.

Should we give Truman a big gift? No—

Truman was about to step down. What he wanted most at this time was stability, and he would not take action easily even if he knew something.

As for Eisenhower, the last meeting was not very pleasant.

The old guy even tricked him specifically to prevent him from intervening in the presidential election, saying, 'Everyone is not a fuel-efficient lamp! ’

If he guessed correctly, Eisenhower should have defected there.

Edison, this name represents not only a person, but a successful commercial R&D industrial model.

It was from him that R&D became a method of mobilizing resources through capital and then systematic and purposeful technology development.

From now on, the lone hero no longer exists.

The era of wanting to rely on one's own research to achieve a career without the support of capital has come to an end.

But I have to say that the Edison model is the general trend, and I have to admit that Morgan has a sophisticated vision.

But, does Morgan really intend to provoke another dispute?

Just with the current Morgan Stanley, General Electric——

Li Zitao admitted that they were very powerful and should not be underestimated, but relying solely on these capitals was like fighting against himself, which was a bit whimsical.

"The fish is burnt." Garbo suddenly interrupted.

"Ah~ it's blurry." Li Zitao quickly took the grilled fish off the fire, fanned the heat with his hand, and said with an embarrassed look on his face; "I'm too obsessed with thinking about the problem."

"It doesn't matter, the fish meat hidden under the burnt fish skin will be more delicious!"

Garbo took the grilled fish and carefully handled the charred fish meat on top and the steaming fish meat inside.

"More...delicious..." Li Zitao suddenly thought that since the other party didn't want to come out, he should lure them out.

Danny and Gecko...just let them get on with it.

Ariel, as rebellious as she is...

It would be safer for her to keep a certain distance from Mr. Li, or even show a hostile attitude.
