Chapter 43 [Rescue Old Brown]
"Why have you been running up for so long? Have you met Mrs. Robinson?" As soon as he saw Aige, Paul rushed up immediately, lowered his voice and asked.
Ai Yigo smiled: "Have you contacted Old Brown?"
Paul's face turned slightly red, but he nodded: "I cannot tell you this, I must guarantee Mr. Jowell's safety."
Ai Yigo still smiled and reached out to pat Paul on the shoulder: "I understand this, especially at such a moment, trust seems even more valuable. Did you find out who is making trouble in Los Angeles? Oh, it's not convenient to say that you can't say it."
This time, Paul did not hesitate and answered directly: "There is no definite news, everything seems to be as usual, Mr. Jowell's men are on the way."
"The suspect... Well, who sent someone over there?" Aiyigo originally wanted to ask the suspect, but then he thought, the other party might not be willing to say that after all, this involves the issue of trust in the future. It would be easy to deal with if it was that person, but if it was not, he would say it to Aiyigo, an outsider, to listen, which is probably a big impact on the future. So he asked another question instead.
"Powell."
Ai Yige nodded: "Have he come here by himself?"
"He doesn't come, he still has to stay in Los Angeles to control the situation."
Ai Yigo nodded again, and slowly had a contour in his heart. He then said to Paul: "If it is convenient, let Old Brown contact me. Now you go upstairs with me and meet Mrs. Robinson together."
Paul seemed to be embarrassed, but looking at the casino gate, the Carnegie people who were still surrounded by Carnegie nodded heavily and did not ask too much. It took Eige so long to get off from above. It was obvious that after a long negotiation, everything was revealed after going up. It seemed that there was no need to ask questions at this moment.
After following Ai Yigo upstairs, the two of them were not blocked at all this time. When those people saw Ai Yigo coming up with Paul, they just searched Paul's body as usual, and confirmed that he was not carrying weapons and put them into Mrs. Robinson's room. Of course, Paul's gun was handed over to the bodyguard for custody.
Seeing Paul following in, Mrs. Robinson seemed to remember something and said, "You are the manager in charge of the VIP area on their side?"
Paul bowed slightly and said, "Mrs. Robinson, your memory is really good."
"Haha, it seems that Old Brown still has the ability to prepare for the future. He can actually arrange someone to be the manager of VIP. Did you rescue Mr. Ai?"
"It's not a question, I just did the right thing at the right time." Paul spoke in front of Mrs. Robinson with great caution, without any extra words, and seemed extremely modest.
Mrs. Robinson smiled and pointed to the sofa opposite: "Sit down and talk." After both of them sat down, Mrs. Robinson sent someone to make a cup of coffee for them, and then slowly spoke: "Mr. Ai told me the situation just now. My relationship with Brown has never been very harmonious, but there is no major conflict. He is in his Los Angeles, and I am in my Las Vegas. He is just hostile to each other. You should be very clear about these, and Mr. Ai's words just now really touched me. I am also considering the possibility of cooperation with Brown. But so far, it can only be a possibility, and Brown's idea depends on Brown's idea. The most urgent task is to ensure Brown's safety. I think you understand this better than me."
Paul looked at Ai Yigo hesitantly, as if he couldn't believe that Ai Yigo could persuade Mrs. Robinson, the rival of Brown, to help him. But he also quickly measured the current situation. It was right that the people who came from Los Angeles were Old Brown's subordinates, but what if those people had been bribed by Carnegie long ago? Then Brown would be putting himself in a more dangerous situation. If he really cooperated with Mrs. Robinson, it would be a seemingly extremely dangerous but actually a safer position compared to it.
If Mrs. Robinson wants to kill Brown, she has many concerns. This is not as simple as saying that she handed over the person to Carnegie. Just as Mrs. Robinson and Ai Yigo expected, Brown also believed that there was someone behind Carnegie to help him. This person was hiding deeply and might have even mastered a situation that Carnegie could not master. Since he could suddenly launch such an action against Brown tonight, then if someone wanted to take the opportunity to get a bargain at this time, they might even join forces with the forces of both sides to launch an offensive against the person who made a bargain after losing Brown. Originally, Ai Yigo's arrangement had expired, but now that someone mixed in and wanted to kick it, they would not mind a new scapegoat. And so confident that both sides accuse Mrs. Robinson of killing their boss, the result can be imagined...
At the same time, Brown, the old man knew deeply that his own power in Los Angeles would be in danger unless he returned to Los Angeles safely. This situation of attacking left and right makes him anxious, and he was not able to fully believe his subordinates who came from Los Angeles. What if he was the one who vented his anger with Carnegie? No one could guarantee this. Brown, who had always believed in Powell, could not help but feel very hesitant now. At the most critical moment, Brown could not even completely trust Paul, but in view of Paul being able to risk his life to rescue Ai Yigo, his trust was at least much higher than Powell who was far away in Los Angeles.
After hesitating for a long time, Paul didn't dare to speak, but just looked at Ai Yigo from time to time.
Ai Yigo also knew that Paul was actually extremely loyal, but the environment was limited, so he could not have real leadership. At this moment, what he needed most was a person's leadership to make decisions. Paul was always a role of a dead soldier and a powerful thug.
"Paul, I know it's hard for you to make a decision. You're worried about a lot of things. I don't want to force you to make any decisions, but I must remind you that even if people from Los Angeles are here, Brown Old is still not safe. That's right, but you can't guarantee that the people who come here are as loyal as you. I think Brown Old Neighbor must agree with my idea. At least I'm reluctant to have something wrong with Brown Old Neighbor, if something happens to him means something happens to me, or at least I lost my first partner after coming to the United States. This is for me
Cooperation with others in the future is also a big problem. I won’t say much. Now is not the time to hesitate. If you think you can believe it... Well, at least believe me, then contact Brown, or ask him to contact me in a safe way, and I will explain everything to him. If you feel that you can’t trust me, then I don’t think Mrs. Robinson will make things difficult for you, but she will not protect you. You can leave her casino safely. After you go out, your life and death will be decided by yourself. You need to make a choice quickly."
After hearing Ai Yigo's words, Paul seemed even more hesitant. He looked at Mrs. Robinson and Ai Yigo. It seemed that both voices were fighting repeatedly in his mind.
Yes, as Ai Yigo said, in fact, it is not worth believing in any aspect. At this moment, the only thing that is worth believing in is probably Ai Yigo. At least there is no reason to harm Old Brown, and the longer the time goes on, the more difficult it is to control Old Brown's safety.
It seemed that he had made a decision to make a gamble. Thankfully, he was a gambler first, and Paul slowly took out his cell phone.
After dialing a number, he handed the phone directly to Ai Yigo, and stared at Mrs. Robinson with vigilance. As if he felt something was wrong, he planned to drag Mrs. Robinson into the water regardless of everything.
After Ai Yigo took the call, Mrs. Robinson's four bodyguards also looked at the three people sitting face to face with extreme nervousness, their eyes as if they were torched, and their muscles were tight.
Soon Ai Yigo saw the phone screen showing an ON status. He slowly put the phone in his ear. There was no sound there. Old Brown did not speak. Obviously, he was not sure who called the phone because he could not be sure that Paul was still a free person at this moment.
"Mr. Jowell, I am Ai Ge." Ai Ge said this calmly, and he believed that Old Brown would speak immediately.
Sure enough, there seemed to be a relief there, and Old Brown finally spoke: "Mr. Ai, are you still safe now? I heard from Paul that you have arrived at the Venetian Hotel."
"Yes, we are sitting face to face with Mrs. Robinson now, drinking coffee and chatting." Aiyigo's tone was relaxed. He knew he didn't need to talk too much. Old Brown would definitely understand why they were sitting here and chatting with Mrs. Robinson.
After a moment of silence on the other end, Old Brown sighed and said, "I really didn't expect that such a situation would come to an end. I actually need to join forces with the enemy... However, Mr. Ai, I admire your courage and your ability. If I still have life this time, I think our cooperation will be easier. How did you convince Mrs. Robinson?"
Ai Yige smiled. Old Brown was indeed experienced enough to know his plan easily, but he just needed to confirm it in person.
"In fact, it's not difficult. One more friend is better than one more enemy. And friends need someone who can trust. Carnegie obviously does not have such qualities. I think Mrs. Robinson will let us return to Los Angeles safely."
Old Brown nodded softly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Wait for me for a while, I will give you the answer soon." After that, he hung up the phone directly. Aiyigo glanced at the call time, more than thirty seconds. At such a time, even the police with detection instruments could basically not determine Old Brown's location.
The air in the whole room was very condensed, and everyone didn't say a word, and they didn't even look at each other. Everyone's eyes were staring at the phone in Aiyigo's hand, as if the way the phone notified the call was not a sound, but a deformation. It was enough to show that everyone was actually very nervous now. Old Brown's decision could determine the relationship and location of the three people in this room, whether they were friends, strangers, or even enemies, and it depends on Old Brown's final decision.
Five minutes passed, the phone still didn't ring, and the people in the room didn't move. Even Ai Yige felt that everyone hadn't even blinked. For the whole five minutes, no one made any extra sound except their heartbeats.
Another minute passed, and Ai Yigo began to feel a little anxious. He was worried that Old Brown would be found, and this was not impossible.
Dinglinglinglinglinglinglingling...
The phone rang out suddenly, but everyone was stunned. This was not the sound of the phone in Aiyigo's hand, but the antique phone on Mrs. Robinson's desk.
Mrs. Robinson glanced at the phone, then looked at Ai Ge, and said with a smile: "Old Brown is still very careful."
Ai Yigo also understood what Mrs. Robinson meant, and nodded with a smile: "I'll answer." As he spoke, he walked to the phone and slowly picked up the microphone.
"I'm Ai Yigo."
Hearing that it was Aiyigo's voice, Old Brown said without hesitation: "Okay, if you ask Mrs. Robinson to answer the phone, I will explain to her how to arrange it."
Instead of handing the phone directly to Mrs. Robinson, Aiyigo said to the microphone: "Mr. Jowell, I hope you have not told anything about Los Angeles. I think your inner doubts and swaying can be confirmed by some very detailed means."
After saying this, Old Brown really felt a sudden realization: "What do you mean is to let those people continue to this position after I leave?"
Ai Yigo smiled and replied: "Maybe, it can be a little simpler. However, I think it's easy to see if Powell is yours."
"Okay, you let Mrs. Robinson listen to the phone."
Only then did Ai Yigo hand over the phone to Mrs. Robinson. After answering the phone, she hung up the phone after just a few words.
Then, Mrs. Robinson waved to the four bodyguards and gave a brief order. It seemed that when Aiyigo went downstairs, she had made all arrangements. Now, she was just giving the final order. The four bodyguards left the room together without hesitation and began to rescue Old Brown.
After looking at the time, Aiyigo estimated that in an hour, Old Brown should be able to arrive here safely. Unless Carnegie intends to launch a real gangster fire, as long as Old Brown walks into the Venetian Hotel, the matter will be over, and the rest will be handled by Old Brown himself.
And now, everything just needs to wait...
"Mrs. Robinson, if you don't mind, I think we can go to the monitoring room to see if Carnegie sent someone to your casino."
