Chapter 1041 - 1038: Terrifying Weapon
The headquarters of the Sanhe Gang is on a street in downtown Washington. On the surface, Sanhe Gang is a club doing legitimate business, but in reality, they use their facade to engage in all sorts of illegal activities.
The influence of the Sanhe Gang is vast, almost permeating all walks of life. The United States government once tried to deal a heavy blow to the Sanhe Gang, but struggled to find evidence of their illegal activities.
Secretly, the Sanhe Gang not only helps many businessmen launder money but also conducts weapons trade with some Middle Eastern terrorists. What's most infuriating is that the Sanhe Gang also colludes with some government officials. President Omama has long wanted to completely eradicate the Sanhe Gang, but has been unable to collect evidence of their crimes. This time, with Lin Chuan involved, Omama sees an opportunity to eliminate the Sanhe Gang through Lin Chuan's hands.
In the conference room, Li Tiansheng's face was gloomy, continuously scanning the other four main members, and he opened his mouth to say: "Jvyi Gang killed Biaozi, which clearly indicates they want to take on our Sanhe Gang. What do you all think?"
Gu Qing, holding an orchid imprint with his right hand, spoke in a sharp voice that was extremely unpleasant to hear: "What else can we do? They've already bullied us, let's go to war with them."
Mei Lina, who looked quite good with an enormous chest, continued after Gu Qing's words: "Our Sanhe Gang is not easy to bully. Since they started it, we absolutely cannot sit around and wait."
Zhu Jianping slowly said: "All you think about is going to war without even understanding the details about the other side. Big Brother, I have carefully investigated Jvyi Gang's information over the past two days, and their leader is Lin Chuan."
Gu Qing spoke in a low voice with a sarcastic tone: "Lin Chuan, is it the same Lin Chuan who was publicly tried?"
"That's right, it's him." Zhu Jianping looked at Li Tiansheng and said: "This Lin Chuan is not a simple character. He killed more than a dozen American soldiers and managed to escape unscathed. Don't you find him terrifying?"
Li Tiansheng said: "Old Two, what do you mean, should we just let this guy destroy our Sanhe Gang?"
Zhu Jianping shook his head and said: "Big Brother, my stance remains, our main task right now is to complete the transaction with those from the Middle East. As for Lin Chuan and Jvyi Gang, we should stabilize them for now, and after the transaction is complete, hmph, let them find it hard to cope."
"What do you mean?" Li Tiansheng looked at Zhu Jianping and asked.
Zhu Jianping said: "Big Brother, I plan to meet Lin Chuan in person tomorrow, to negotiate with them and stabilize them first."
Gu Qing snidely said: "No way, negotiate? Our Sanhe Gang has never been so disgraced. If word gets out, how will we hold our heads high among other gangs in the future? Big Brother, I'll take people tomorrow and find them, I will definitely flatten Jvyi Gang and bring Lin Chuan's head to meet you."
Zhu Jianping glared angrily at Gu Qing and said: "I'm afraid before you can deal with them, they'll butcher you first."
Gu Qing was not happy either, just about to speak, Li Tiansheng said: "Stop arguing, Gu Qing is right, since they have openly challenged us, if we act like cowards, how will we survive in the future? Gu Qing, tomorrow I will hand everyone over to you, make sure you bring me Lin Chuan's head."
Zhu Jianping said: "Big Brother..."
Li Tiansheng interrupted Zhu Jianping, gave him a subtle glance, and then said: "That's it, Gu Qing, you go prepare."
After Gu Qing left, Mei Lina also left, leaving only Li Tiansheng and Zhu Jianping in the conference room.
"Old Two, let's complete the transaction first, we mustn't let anyone ruin it. The reason I want Gu Qing to lead people to fight Jvyi Gang is this." Li Tiansheng said to Zhu Jianping.
Zhu Jianping responded with an "Mm," and said: "Big Brother, your thinking is thorough. The buyers from the Middle East have already arrived in Washington. To be safe, we'll start the transaction the day after tomorrow."
...
United States Central Intelligence Agency.
The director, Everson, stood in front of the giant electronic screen, looking at the screen showing a Middle Eastern man with a thick beard, frowning, and said to the assistant standing beside him: "Is this person's identity confirmed?"
The assistant nodded and said: "Yes, it's basically confirmed, he is the number two figure of the Iraqi opposition, Murray Hand."
The Iraqi opposition is essentially a typical terrorist organization. Murray Hand has launched terrorist attacks in many countries around the world, the most famous being the terror attack in Paris Square in France, and the Tehran terror attack in Germany.
Murray Hand suddenly coming to Washington is a cause for concern for Everson.
"Is the purpose of his visit to Washington clear?" Everson asked the assistant.
The assistant said: "Not yet, but there are two more people accompanying Murray Hand." Saying this, he pointed to the electronic screen, showing the photos of two other people.
These two people also had thick beards, clearly from those Middle Eastern countries.
"These two are well-known nuclear weapons experts in the Middle East. Their presence with Murray Hand is definitely related to weapons. We have also recently got information that Sanhe Gang intends to make a deal with a Middle Easterner. It is assumed they are related." The assistant said to Everson.
Everson pondered for a moment and said: "You need to closely monitor the movements of these people, report to me immediately if there is any news."
"Yes, sir." The assistant responded.
Everson returned to his office, stayed for two minutes, and then headed straight to the president's office.
After Omama listened to Everson's briefing, he also felt extremely tense about the arrival of Murray Hand.
Such a terrorist figure would cause panic no matter which country he went to. Thinking about the 9/11 terrorist attacks from more than ten years ago still scares Omama.
"Get in touch with Lin Chuan immediately," Omama said to Everson after contemplating for a full five minutes, "Have him come to me at once."
Everson was a bit puzzled and asked, "Contact Lin Chuan, Mr. President? What for?"
Omama said, "Lin Chuan actually came to the United States to deal with the Sanhe Gang. Since Murray Hand is in Washington and has ties with the Sanhe Gang, we can consult Lin Chuan to see if he has any information."
"Understood, Sir. I'll take care of it right away," Everson replied, then turned and left the president's office.
At the Green Hotel, Lin Chuan was chatting with Zhou Kai and the others.
"With Qin Biao eliminated, Li Tiansheng will definitely launch an attack on Jvyi Gang. You all need to be careful," Lin Chuan warned Zhou Kai, Lu Dapao, and Li Qiang.
Lu Dapao laughed, "As long as Brother Chuan is here, we're not afraid of anything."
Lin Chuan said, "Da Pao, you can't say that. The Sanhe Gang is not just any ordinary gang."
Zhou Kai said, "Brother Chuan, should we inform Little Pepper over there to bring all the people over?"
Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. I've arranged for some people to help you. They're around you, and if you come under attack, they will take action."
After eliminating Qin Biao, for the safety of Zhou Kai and the others, Lin Chuan specifically discussed with Helen and obtained Her Majesty's consent to have British spies in Washington, USA, protect their safety.
"Brother Chuan, who are they?" Li Qiang asked.
Lin Chuan said, "You don't need to know their identities, and it's not convenient for me to tell you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chuan's phone rang.
He took out his phone, looked at the caller ID, and immediately frowned.
He was very familiar with this number; it belonged to Everson, the director of the CIA.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Chuan answered the phone, "Hello, Director Everson."
Everson's voice came over the line, "Lin Chuan, I'm at the entrance of the Green Hotel. Come down immediately; the President wants to see you."
Omama wants to see him? Lin Chuan was momentarily stunned. What was going on?
Although suspicious, Lin Chuan agreed, hung up the phone, made some arrangements, and then left the Green Hotel. When he reached the entrance, he saw a black sedan parked there and walked over.
Everson was sitting inside the car and appeared very enthusiastic upon seeing Lin Chuan again. He personally opened the car door and let Lin Chuan get in.
Within fifteen minutes, Lin Chuan was in Everson's car and arrived at the U.S. White House's presidential office.
As soon as Omama saw Lin Chuan, his face lit up with a smile, and he warmly extended his hand, saying, "Lin Chuan, you're here."
Omama's warm attitude took Lin Chuan by surprise, but he politely shook Omama's hand and said, "Mr. President, I'm not sure why you've called me here?"
Omama said, "Lin Chuan, please sit down, and I'll explain slowly."
Lin Chuan sat down, and Omama sat beside him, saying, "Lin Chuan, I won't beat around the bush. Our intelligence agency recently discovered that the number two figure in Iraq's opposition, Murray Hand, suddenly arrived in Washington. It's said he has a transaction with the Sanhe Gang. I wanted to ask if you have any idea what they're up to?"
Lin Chuan's heart trembled, and his mind raced. It seemed that the terrifying weapon was going to be purchased by Murray Hand and his group. The Sanhe Gang was dealing with this weapon.
"Mr. President, I won't hide it from you. I came to Washington to search for the missing British agent Lao'er. He was investigating a very terrifying weapon, and it's precisely this weapon that Murray Hand is here to trade with the Sanhe Gang." After much thought, Lin Chuan decided not to withhold this information from Omama.
Omama said, "A terrifying weapon? How terrifying are we talking about?"
Lin Chuan said, "Mr. President, the destructive power of this weapon is astonishing. Let me put it this way: as soon as this weapon is fired, it can easily destroy the entire White House."
Omama was shocked and said, "What? What kind of weapon is this?"
