Chapter 139 The Golden Cicada Escapes From Its Shell
Just when the tension reached its peak, Ou Chenyu put his hand into his arms.
The Crow's Nest thugs were extremely vigilant, thinking he was going to pull out some weapon.
However, what Ou Chenyu took out was not a weapon, but his mobile phone.
With a playful smile on his face, he pressed the holographic display button and projected a photo into the air.
It was a photo of Ou Chenyu and a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was wearing a formal suit and smiling. He put one hand on Ou Chenyu's shoulder and shook his hand tightly with the other. The two looked very close.
When Su Mo saw this photo, he thought to himself: I asked you why you haven't done anything recently. It turns out you are running this branch line.
The sharp-eyed mercenary recognized the middle-aged man in the photo: "Lucio Ribeton! The member of the Crescent City City Council who was nominated not long ago!" "
Ou Chenyu closed his collar and said shockingly: "Let me introduce you, this is my father-in-law."
The mercenaries all exclaimed with envy on their faces.
Simon was also stunned, and his face became unhappy.
Su Mo looked at the photo of Lucio and Ou Chenyu, and he had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
Judging from the photos, Ou Chenyu has recently been running Talege's personal branch, and the progress has been very rapid. The two are already engaged, and Ou Chenyu directly recognized Lucio as his father-in-law.
Lucio is the founder of the Ribeton Foundation and is very good at business. He has been in the business world for many years and finally entered politics and became a member of the city council.
The "City Council" is the highest administrative body of a city under the rule of the World Government.
There are three main categories of City Council staff levels.
The first category is councilors, who are responsible for liaising with the grassroots and voting on various proposals at meetings. They generally hold key positions in various departments and are the basic composition of the city council.
Next up are the ruling members, who have full power to draft bills. Most of them are management leaders or even top leaders of municipal departments, with extraordinary status.
The highest person is the city president, who leads all major departments and is directly responsible to the "Shangting Assembly" in the capital on behalf of the city.
Although Lucio is the lowest-ranking ordinary member, being able to enter the city council means that he is affiliated with the authorities, has a very large interest group behind him, and can mobilize considerable resources.
As Lucio's son-in-law, Ou Chenyu also enjoys these resources due to nepotism, and his status is not what it used to be.
In the past, if Simon wanted to beat Ou Chenyu, he would have beaten him without any pressure.
But not now.
Hitting Ou Chenyu would be hitting Lucio in the face.
To slap a council member in the face is to go against the city council and offend the authorities.
Simon, a thug, simply cannot make the decision on such a big matter.
Simon frowned and looked at Ou Chenyu, the muscles on his face twitching: "You really have a good thigh. No wonder you dare to drag me here. It turns out that you are getting a soft meal."
Ou Chenyu didn't care about the sting in his words and directly mocked him back: "Don't be sour. If you have the ability, you can find a father-in-law. Am I stopping you?"
The veins on Simon's forehead popped out, and he was extremely angry, but Ou Chenyu beat him hard and there was nothing he could do.
Ou Chenyu put his phone back in his pocket, straightened his collar gracefully, and said calmly: "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. You've wasted a lot of my time."
Ou Chenyu led Xiaotian towards the door on the right.
The Crow's Nest thugs didn't get Simon's instructions and didn't dare to stop them, so they could only make way.
When other mercenaries saw Ou Chenyu leaving, they also followed him: "Brother Simon, let's leave first."
As soon as the mercenaries took two steps, the Crow's Nest thugs surrounded them again and looked at them coldly.
The mercenaries were immediately at a loss: "Brother Simon, this?"
Simon twisted his neck and made a clicking sound, and said coldly: "If I can't cure Ou Chenyu, I can't cure you? Go and take a video for me, and then leave after filming."
A mercenary begged: "Brother Simon, we will no longer accept commissions from the border. Can we give you a verbal guarantee? If that kind of video spreads, our reputation will be damaged, and there will be no middlemen looking for us in the future!"
Simon: "That's none of my business. If I'm to blame, it's because you stretched your hands too far."
The mercenary looked embarrassed and stood there silently.
Simon had long been impatient, and without being polite anymore, he picked up the wine bottle on the ground and swung it over his head.
"Bang!"
The unopened wine bottle weighed heavily, and Simon was a high-level crazed blood code carrier, so he was very powerful.
The mercenary was hit with blood on his head and fell to the ground wailing.
"I really regret that I gave you too much humiliation at the beginning. You bastards should have dealt with it better." Simon stabbed the mercenary on the head with a broken wine bottle, causing his face to be covered with blood.
The mercenary rolled on the ground in pain and shouted out the door: "Captain Ou! Help! Help!!!"
Ou Chenyu and Xiao Tianyou didn't come back, obviously they didn't care about these mercenaries who had nothing to do with them.
The other mercenaries were all frightened and stood there at a loss.
Just when everyone was shocked by Simon's atrocities, there was a sudden sigh: "Hey."
Simon looked at Sumer: "Did you sigh?"
Su Mo shook his head and said, "The world is really declining these days, and everyone doesn't follow the rules anymore. If it were ten years ago, if you dared to do something in Longmen Restaurant, you would be surrounded and suppressed by major groups."
Simon threw away the broken wine bottle stained with blood, picked up a new bottle and pointed it at Su Mo: "You are quite interesting, Su Hei Quan, right?"
Su Mo: "Let me say it for the last time, repeat the word silently. Are you illiterate or deaf?"
Simon laughed: "Quite awesome, huh? You like to be in the limelight, right? Then I'll give you a chance."
He pointed to his companion who was holding a camera and said, "You will be the first to take the statement of withdrawing from the border, right now."
Under the cold gaze of the Crow's Nest thugs, Su Mo sat there steadily and said calmly: "I don't want to shoot, just like that person said, if I shoot that kind of video, which intermediary will dare to come to me for cooperation in the future? "
Simon grimaced: "It's okay if you don't take pictures, then just go and die!"
He swung the wine bottle and smashed it at Su Mo, threatening to break his Tianling Cap.
However, at this moment, Su Mo suddenly opened his clothes and revealed what was hidden inside.
Simon's eyes were filled with astonishment and he quickly put away the bottle.
Not only Simon, but the Crow's Nest thugs and mercenaries were also frightened.
Su Mo was actually tied with a ring of high explosives!
Su Mo said calmly: "As soon as that video was taken, my future was ruined. In that case, it's better to die with you."
Simon hesitated for a moment, his lips twitched, and he let out an exaggerated laugh: "Boy, have you watched too many movies? I am a "critical elementary" crazy blood code carrier. Do you want to use that explosive to blow me up? "
"Believe it or not, I can just stand here and blow it up for you. I can even hold an anti-tank gun, so I'm afraid of your explosives?"
Su Mo: "Xin, I know this explosive can't kill you. But there are two types of death, one is physical death and the other is social death."
"Brother Simon held a banquet at Longmen Restaurant and beat up a few people secretly. It's fine that the outside world doesn't know."
"But if there's a big explosion in the box you booked, how fast do you think the news will spread?"
"Nowadays, everyone is not so observant of the rules, but the most basic thing is still to save face."
"What would major groups think of you if they knew that you forced people to self-destruct in Longmen Restaurant? What would your boss Hong Quansheng think of you? Do you think you still have a future in Crow's Nest?"
These words made Simon's face darken and he was speechless.
After a long silence, he said sinisterly: "Boy, are you playing psychological warfare with me? I don't believe you dare to explode."
Su Mo had a dead look on his face: "What can I not dare to do? My life has been such a failure. My parents are gone. I have no house or car. I am as tired as a dog every day. I don't even have a girlfriend. I have long wanted to die." Well, I'll just take you to be buried with me."
"With this explosion, I may become famous and become a legend in the Crescent City. Then I can even have a cocktail named after me in the bar."
“I’ve got the recipe figured out, one part vodka, ice, lime juice, ginger beer, and a little bit of love~”
Simon got angry and said seriously: "Then you explode! If you dare, explode now!"
Su Mo went to pull out the fuse without saying anything.
Seeing that most of the fuse was pulled out, everyone turned pale with fright, and Simon also yelled: "Stop!!!!"
Su Mo stopped his hand and looked at Simon calmly: "Why, didn't you ask me to blow it up? I have never heard of such a strange request. I must satisfy you."
Simon gasped, the muscles on his face twitching. He pointed at Su Mo's nose and said, "You are cruel. I can see that you are much better than the guy named Ou. Tell me, what do you want?" "
Su Mo pointed at the shocked mercenaries: "You have seven people in the Crow's Nest, how can you bully a few cute new mercenaries? Let them go."
Simon spat and yelled at the mercenaries: "Get out!"
The mercenaries rushed to leave, saying gratefully to Su Mo as they ran, "Thank you, Captain Su! Thank you!"
Then, Su Mo said, "The second thing is, you asked the Vipers to kidnap Heywood's family members, right? Ask them to release them and send them back to the inner city."
Simon had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and make a call: "All the people you asked to arrest today were sent back to the inner city and let you go. What the hell are you talking about? If I ask you if you believe it, I will kill you?!"
He hung up the phone and said, "It's been released."
Su Mo: "Give me the verification method."
Simon said angrily: "I've already let everyone go, how can I give you verification methods?!"
Su Mo thought for a while, then took out his cell phone and called Heywood: "The Vipers have released your family and are returning to the inner city. Keep the phone open and let me know when you get someone."
More than an hour later, the voices of men, women, and children crying with joy came from the other end of the phone.
Heywood said excitedly: "Brother Sumer, I received them! Thank you so much!"
Su Mo hummed and said, "I have paid off the debt I owe you for taking care of me in the past. Take them to hide as soon as possible."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Simon narrowed his eyes and said, "You're quite righteous, huh? Captain Su is brave and resourceful. Why don't you consider not being a mercenary? Come to the Crow's Nest. I guarantee you will have a place."
Su Mo smiled and said, "Sorry, not interested."
After saying that, he suddenly rushed to the window, opened it and jumped out.
Simon quickly ran to the window and looked out.
A load-bearing drone appeared outside at some point. Su Mo jumped into the air and hung firmly in the air by holding on to its bottom bar.
The drone just hung up on Su Mo and left, disappearing into the vast night.
