Chapter 1,290 Suspicion
"Let's go to your office and talk. Others can take a break as they please. As long as they don't leave the living room, others are welcome to do as they please."
Hans, who looks like a university professor, was very gentlemanly at this time.
After finding the target he wanted, he invited Aoki to leave with him and deliberately relaxed his control over others.
"The suit is beautiful. John Philips, a custom brand in London, I also own two sets. I heard that Leonardo also had it custom-made at their house."
When Hans took Aoki to the office upstairs, he chatted with him on the way.
However, Aoki was in a tense moment at this time, so he naturally didn't respond to his words.
"La la la"
Hans was not angry about this, on the contrary, he hummed a little tune happily.
"Wow, a very avant-garde design. I heard that when Alexander saw the map of his vast empire, he actually cried because there was no place for him to conquer anymore."
"The design of this bridge is so beautiful. I really hope you can build it sooner. When I was a child, I was also particularly obsessed with making models for a while, especially the proportional data. I didn't want to make any mistakes in the details."
When entering Aoki's office, Hans was immediately attracted by the unfinished building and the model of a bridge.
Then he couldn't help but comment on the two buildings.
"This is the purpose of your visit. This is the design drawing from our partner company. If you need it, I can recommend their contact information to you."
Aoki obviously couldn't stand the other party's chattering, so he simply interrupted the other party.
"NO! NO! NO! If you want to talk about these, there is no need to come to you. Zhongfu Group is a listed company. For partners in such major projects, I can get their information just by reading the newspaper."
Hans also heard the sarcasm in Aoki's words, but he was not angry.
Instead, he took the initiative to walk forward, put his hand gently on the other person's shoulder, and then controlled the other person's body to walk inside.
"Mr. Aoki, if it's just a casual chat, we can talk about clothing and industrial design all day, but I think you definitely don't have that in mind, so let's work first."
"My colleague Theo, he has some problems that need your help."
Hans took Aoki to the other person's desk and put forward his request.
"To put it simply, I actually want you to help complete a few simple fill-in-the-blank questions."
Hans said it very easily.
Aoki walked into the office and found a black guy turning on his computer. Seeing him come in, the other party pushed the keyboard towards Aoki, and then stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
"You want my power-on password, what's the use, no matter what information you get, the head office in Tokyo will make targeted changes tomorrow morning, and you can't use our information for blackmail at all."
Aoki saw that the other party wanted his power-on password, and he immediately wanted to remind the other party angrily.
"Sit down!"
But this time, Hans suddenly emphasized his tone before he could finish his words.
After hearing the other party's order, Aoki turned his head and looked at the black muzzles of the guns facing him, and he sat down with all his heart.
"Mr. Aoki, I am not interested in your computer. What I care about is the bearer bonds worth 640 million US dollars locked in your vault controlled by your computer."
At this point, Hans no longer beat around the bush with Aoki and directly stated his purpose.
"This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for the size of Zhongfu Group, and you must have bought insurance for it, so now you just need to cooperate with me to enter the password to control the vault, and when we get the bonds, you can go back to sleep."
As Hans said, he took off the silencer on the pistol, and then the gunman pointed at Aoki, and the threat was obvious.
"It's useless for me to enter the password. There are seven passwords in the vault, and the computer controls only one of them. Only with the authorization from Tokyo can the vault be opened."
When Aoki heard that the other party was really here for the bonds, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Then there is no need for you to keep the secret. Please cooperate and enter the password."
Hans was not surprised at all when he heard Aoki's words, as if he had known the conditions for opening the vault of Zhongfu Group.
After hearing Hans' words, Aoki chose to remain silent.
Although the control password in his computer was only one of them, he knew very well that if he really took the initiative to enter the password, regardless of whether the bonds were lost or not, his position as president would definitely be lost.
"Mr. Aoki, your suit is very beautiful, you don't want to get it dirty, that would be a pity."
In response to Aoki's silence, Hans chose to press on step by step.
"I will count from one to three, and there will definitely not be the number four. Tell me the password, one!"
Hans saw that Aoki still did not answer, so he simply gave the other party a final warning.
"I told you, I don't know. You can take a plane to Tokyo to ask our president for authorization. Even if you kill me, I won't tell you."
Aoki heard Hans's threat and smiled with relief.
After hearing Aoki's words and seeing his expression, Hans was silent for a moment and then nodded.
"Okay!"
Bang——
Gunshots rang out.
In Aoki's stunned eyes, the bullet passed through his forehead and then shot out from the back of his head, bringing up a burst of blood.
The blood splashed on the glass, startling John who was hiding under the desk in the hall. He didn't even care whether he would alarm the crowd inside, and ran directly to the fire escape next to him.
"What's up, I heard gunshots again, Mr. Aoki was killed?"
Zhang Pin saw John running down panting, but he was not surprised.
Before, after the two came out of the hall, they had a dispute about where to go.
Sir Zhang meant that it would be best to go downstairs directly to see, and if no one stopped them, go out and call the police.
John thought that it would be better to call the police directly, but because neither of them had a mobile phone, they could only find a landline phone.
In addition, the building was not completed, and only the floor where Zhongfu Group was located was connected to the telephone line.
John chose to go upstairs to make a call.
But after he went up, he found that the telephone lines of the entire building had been cut long ago. What's worse, before he left, Hans brought Aoki up.
If he hadn't reacted quickly and hid under the desk in time, he would have been caught by the other party.
"Yes, they seemed to want to open some vault. I heard Mr. Aoki shout terrorists."
John never thought that he would come to the banquet and encounter such a thing.
"Their firepower is very strong, and I suspect that they were just temporarily lying when they said they would not kill people."
After seeing Aoki being killed, John panicked.
His own safety was not a big deal. After all, this building had dozens of floors and there were only a dozen terrorists. It stands to reason that as long as they wanted to hide, the other party might not be able to find him.
But his wife Holly was different. The other party was arrested. If those guys didn't keep their promises and killed people after achieving their goals, the situation would become worse.
Although John ran decisively before, he didn't really disregard his wife's safety.
At that time, running away was just the instinct of an old policeman.
Because he was alone at that time, it was impossible to defeat those gunmen with so many innocent people present.
Rather than being caught with Holly, it is better to get out first and then find a way to save people.
But now that it is really a critical moment, John is not sure.
"Don't worry, I have thought of some ways, but I am not sure if they are effective."
Zhang Pin heard John's question and looked at the delayed alarm on the wall.
"Yes, if there is a fire, it can also attract 911."
John himself is a policeman, so he only thought about calling the police at first.
Now that he got Zhang Pin's reminder, he immediately reacted that the fire alarm system of a high-rise building like this must be connected to the alarm system of the fire department.
He immediately found a fire axe and prepared to destroy the fire alarm.
"No hurry, let's find a way out first, otherwise they can locate us through the location of the fire alarm."
Sir Zhang was not idle before. He had long guessed that the purpose of this group of people should be the 640 million bearer bonds that Zhongfu Group recently acquired.
The main reason why Zhang Pin chose to hide was that he suspected that this so-called robbery was most likely directed and acted by Aoki himself.
After all, he did not forget that Zhongfu Group had a debt of 1 billion yuan due at the end of the month, but they did not have enough funds in their company account to pay the debt.
So it is not ruled out that the other party did this and could take the opportunity to claim compensation from the insurance company.
Such a large amount of bearer bonds was deposited in the company, and the other party must have bought insurance.
But this conjecture has been shattered with the gunshot just now.
After all, even if Qingmu directed and acted by himself, he would not joke with his own life.
Excluding the possibility that Qingmu directed and acted by himself, Zhang Sir was not happy, but became more cautious.
Because since Qingmu did not direct and act by himself, the matter became more complicated.
Before, after leaving the hall, Zhang Sir waited in the fire escape to observe the situation inside.
So he heard with his own ears that this group of suspected terrorists seemed to know the situation of Zhongfu Group very well.
Since they knew the situation of Zhongfu Group very well, was there any information about himself?
And if the matter was not arranged by Qingmu, then what was the purpose of the person hiding behind the scenes planning all this? Zhang Pin did not believe that the other party was just greedy for money.
After all, bearer bonds seem to be easy to sell, but you have to know that this is a bond worth 640 million.
Although such a large amount of bonds is theoretically bearer, as long as it appears in the market, both the issuer and the banking system will definitely know about it.
Although the annual trading volume of the American bond market is trillions, the amount of several hundred million does not make much of a splash compared to the overall volume.
But 600 million US dollars is definitely a large number for transactions in the bond market.
After all, such a large amount of money is equivalent to the annual income of tens of millions of families compared to ordinary American families.
So even if this money is robbed by them, it should be easy to find out.
Unless it is handled by an institution or force that no one dares to check.
But if it is that kind of institution, they should not look down on the transaction volume of several hundred million in theory.
After all, for an existence of that size, if you want to make 600 million, you don’t need to go through so much trouble.
They can easily make more than several hundred or six hundred million by just sending a document, speaking a few words, or expressing an attitude on an important occasion.
Sir Zhang always likes to make some small moves, and he likes to use some seemingly unexpected scenes to cover up his purpose, so when encountering such things, he naturally likes to put himself in others’ shoes.
In this comparison, he always feels that the other party’s purpose this time is not to rob bonds, but to do something.
Don’t forget that Daqiao Bank is thinking about Zhongfu Group, but now the group has encountered a robbery.
If this incident leads to the complete destruction of Zhongfu Group’s business in America, it means that Daqiao Group’s investment has gone down the drain.
Sir Zhang is naturally worried that this action is aimed at Daqiao Group.
You know, he just knocked Aoki this time, and the other party’s reaction is obviously not very resistant to Daqiao Group’s investment.
But now that Aoki, who was loyal to Ohashi Group, is dead, the attitude of the next president of Nakatomi Group towards Ohashi Group, and even the reaction of Nakatomi Group in Tokyo, will affect the action of Ohashi Group to take over Nakatomi Group.
The first force that wants to prevent Ohashi Group from taking over Nakatomi Group must be the existing capital of Nakatomi Group.
After all, Nakatomi Group belongs to them, and they certainly don't want outsiders to be the masters.
But if it was someone from the Nakatomi Group headquarters, the action would not be so rough.
After all, it stands to reason that as the current owner, they have many ways to resist the entry of Ohashi Bank. If they do this, they will lose a thousand. It is very likely that bankruptcy will make it easier for Ohashi Group to take over.
After excluding the people from Nakatomi Group headquarters, there are not many targets left with doubts.
Nakatomi Group is not as good as before due to management problems, but after years of management accumulation, the value of Nakatomi Group is naturally not low.
So there must be many forces eyeing this piece of fat.
But it is the same as the current board members of Nakatomi Group.
Since these people have set their sights on Zhongfu Group, even if they want to stop Daqiao Bank, they can't use this method.
Because doing so can be regarded as turning the table over. At that time, after paying such a big price, they will not get any benefits, but will get into trouble. (End of this chapter)
