Ultimate Firepower

Martin’s matter is just a to-do item; what’s urgent now is to finish the task at hand.

The one who really needs to put in effort is Christopher, because he has immediate authority.

The promotion matter for Martin could motivate Christopher, but not enough to drive him significantly, because he’s genuinely planning to retire and no longer has much interest in promotions.

However, money can move Christopher.

To Gao Yi, the signal he needs to send is simple—that Martin is one of his own, someone worth investing significant resources and funds to support.

Whereas Christopher is just a collaborator. Collaborators don’t share deep ties but can directly take money—a lot of money.

"My people are ready; they’ll appear near Rana’s house and toss something into Rana’s place—a fake bomb."

Christopher nodded and said, "If there’s a bomb, then I can go to the scene to gather evidence."

Gao Yi nodded and continued, "We won’t wait for Rana to call the police; we’ll report it first. You’ll arrange things on your end at the station. When the time comes, I’ll dress as a cop and go in with you. All I need is an opportunity to speak with Rana alone, and then I’ll prepare one million dollars. You can distribute it among the participants."

Giving Christopher one million dollars meant he could decide who gets what. No matter how much he distributes, the remaining amount is his to keep.
