Chapter 61 [Self-cutting siblings]
Chapter 61 [Break your hands and feet]
When Ai Yigo left the police station, he was still thinking about Susanna, who was too fierce, too fierce. If Susanna's father hadn't rushed over and carried her away in a hurry, this silly girl might have "disputed" with her Uncle Charlie.
Even when Yuan Weiting and Charlie Baker rushed to the police station, Susanna was still unwilling to forgive her and insisted that Ai Yigo was related to the bag of drugs. She did not agree with Ai Yigo leaving the police station anyway. When the forensic department sent a fingerprint inspection report, it showed that there were a lot of fingerprints on it, but there were indeed no fingerprints from Hu Xiaoshuai. At present, only Ai Yigo and Benjamin's fingerprints were found. Other fingerprints were still compared with the archives. Most people were basically inclined to believe Ai Yigo's words. Even if according to Ai Yigo's request, except Director Matt Hoffman, the police station did not know what Ai Yigo's identity was, but they still tended to believe him.
But as the presiding judge of Ai Yige, Susanna was so unyielding that it caused a headache for others. In the end, she brought her father to take her away. This was the case. It was finally easy for Ai Yige to leave the police station.
The entire police station was shocked. Many people had been surprised by the calmness shown by Ai Yigo before. Now they were surprised to see that he could alarm Charlie Baker. Although Yuan Weiting was here, he, as a consul, is not very impressive in the eyes of American police. Perhaps for people of Charlie Baker, Yuan Weiting's identity must be treated solemnly, but for the police below, they can not sell your accounts. Charlie Baker is different. These police officers only heard that he is the successor of the legendary sheriff William Bratton, but after all, he has never seen the new sheriff appear in public after only two months of taking office. I never expected that the first time I came into contact with this sheriff was because of a Chinese, and it was involved in a very likely major drug trafficking case.
After these big guys arrived, Ai Yige still performed very peacefully. He did not become domineering because of these people coming, and clearly helped him support him. He was still neither humble nor arrogant, and had a little arrogant attitude, which also made the police have a good impression of him. Even the two policemen who arrested him at the beginning felt that they were nothing wrong with him, but if Ai Yige insisted on pursuing him, they might not be able to take it. Seeing that Ai Yige did not seem to have any special reaction, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, the uneasiness in their hearts was inevitable.
However, after a repeated apology, Director Matt told Ai Yige that he had not left the country these days and that he might still need to cooperate with the police's investigation. With Yuan Weiting's mediation, Ai Yige also dismissed the decision to complain about Susanna, although he was indeed a little annoyed by this girl.
When he walked out of the police station, Aiyigo saw Old Brown's car. He had been riding the car before, so he could tell that it was Old Brown's car at a glance. However, when he saw several people standing next to Aiyigo who were obviously in the officialdom, Old Brown naturally did not get off the car, so he would not have touched such a bad head. It seems that the person who secretly protected Aiyigo had notified Old Brown that Old Brown could come in person, which could be regarded as seeing how much he attached to Aiyigo.
Yuan Weiting originally wanted to have a meal with Ai Yige to help him suppress his shock, but Ai Yige said that Meng Xiaodie's health had not fully recovered and needed to go back to rest, so Yuan Weiting was not willing to force him. However, Yuan Weiting still said that he would send a car to take him back, and Ai Yige was not willing to go against the other party's kindness, so he agreed.
After arriving at Bifoli Villa, Ai Yige thanked the consulate driver, but the other party said: "Mr. Ai, Consul General Yuan said that if you need a car in the future, Man can contact our consulate first. He is willing to send a special car to you for transportation, and there will be a special driver. This can bring greater safety to your travel."
Ai Yige nodded and smiled, still thanked him for his kindness, and then watched him leave.
But Ai Yige was unwilling to accept Yuan Weiting's kindness. Yes, with a special car specially equipped for transportation by the consulate, and a consulate driver driving, many things can be spared. But at the same time, it will also cause some trouble, causing many originally simple things to be complicated. The simplest example is, shouldn't cooperation with Brown be cleared? This is definitely a matter of greater harm than good, but as long as you are filming movies in the United States, you cannot refuse the entry of these black gold. Even the US presidential election has the help of black gold, let alone one of its pillar industries? If you want to clear away the funds from American gangs, you will achieve nothing in the United States. If Ai Yige just wants to make one or two movies in the United States and run away with some money, it doesn't matter. But if he wants to develop in the long term, he must take these into consideration.
Even if Ai Yige really needs some necessary protection from the government, would he still need to find a consulate? Couldn't his father do something for him? Even if Ai Changhu is selfless, Ai Yige is protected by domestic protection as a vice-national leader. The reason why he doesn't have these things is because he is unwilling to be bound by his background to develop his business. Yes, he can indeed take the banner of the children of high-ranking officials in China in everything, but in that case, who dares to do business with him? Ai Yige is here to do business, not to visit. Those security protections and official conveniences will become constraints on his private life, and this is even more so for business.
It is not that in the face of anything, the background behind Ai Yige can help. In an industry like a movie that will inevitably involve multiple financial interventions, he must take this into consideration. It is impossible to show off his identity and background. It will directly scare away most of the collaborators and make his trip to the United States difficult. Let your collaborators generally know that you have such a background, rather than taking such a banner from the beginning. Don’t think that the children of a national leader must always follow a large number of bodyguards behind him. It depends on whether the person has such needs or whether the domestic situation is necessary to send a group of bodyguards to this person. People like Ai Yige often fly around the world, which is difficult.
The Central Committee did nothing, and he thought about where Ai Yige was going to fly again all day long, and then constantly allocated people to protect him? These are two things. Ai Yige's social identity is mainly a businessman in the film industry. When he did not take the initiative to apply for certain asylum, there would generally be no official force involved in his own life. Of course, if the country's official exit or Ai Changhu was in a sensitive period in China, he might not ask Ai Yige's opinion at all and force him to equip him with some personnel. But to be honest, a permanent residence like Ai Yige is flying around from time to time. If Ai Changhu was in a politically sensitive period, the country would directly prohibit Ai Yige from leaving the country.
For the identity of Aiyigo, whether he is protected by national security personnel is more dependent on himself under the current stable social and political structure, than the needs of the country. Aiyigo is here to do business now, so he is unwilling to take a bunch of bodyguards or professional soldiers all over the streets. Not only is it wasteful, it will be harmful to his business without any benefit. When Aiyigo was planning to go abroad to make movies, he already thought of all the dangers he might encounter. If he had no confidence in solving these things himself, he would not do it like this.
Not to mention anything else, just today, when he came out of the police station, the situation made people with the status of Brown dare not show up easily. Not to mention that he might deal with lower-level gangs in the future. Those people are not allowed to escape and regard Ai Yigo as a spy of the US government?
After the car that sent Ai Yige back left, Old Brown's car drove to the door of Ai Yige's house within a minute. Ai Yige had expected this. After entering the house, he asked Hu Xiaoshuai to support Meng Xiaodie to rest, while he sat in the living room waiting for Old Brown.
Opening the door, Old Brown immediately walked in and said to Ai Yigo with a smile: "I don't dare to show up when I see the new sheriff in Los Angeles."
Ai Yige smiled faintly and pointed at the sofa: "Sit down, if you don't look for me, I have to look for you too!"
Old Brown raised his brows and said, "Oh? What do you mean? Are you blamed for going too late? I was still on the plane at that time, and rushed over immediately after getting off. Powell told me that the consulate car had arrived, and I knew you would definitely not have anything to do, so I waited for you to come out at the door. With your Consul General present, I should try not to show up as much as possible."
Ai Yigo nodded: "I don't mean that, but... you have figured out what's going on?" Old Brown nodded after hearing this, and Ai Yigo continued: "That Benjamin, you said it's your person!"
Well……
Old Brown's face suddenly changed, as if it was as blue as it was! He had just thought that the gangsters there had been offended by Ai Yigo. He didn't think much about it, but just wanted to go to the police station by himself, protect Ai Yigo first, and then see whose subordinate the kid was, so he could clear it up and help Ai Yigo settle the matter. But when he heard Ai Yigo say that Benjamin was his subordinate, Old Brown felt a little uneasy. You know, it was his person and who were not him, which was essentially different. For Ai Yigo, there was an essential difference.
Seeing that Old Brown's face changed rapidly, Ai Yigo smiled and said, "Old Brown, don't get me wrong. I'm not blaming you. This kind of thing has nothing to do with you. It is inevitable that something happens to your subordinates. I just think that since you are your subordinates, this matter is easier to solve. Moreover, I remember that you no longer do such a business, right? A small amount is left to your nephew to take care of. I thought of an idea. If you don't know how to deal with your nephew and can't bear to kill him, then this matter may not be an opportunity."
Old Brown was stunned and then understood what Ai Yigo meant: "What you mean... is to say... let me..."
Ai Yigo gestured: "Break your own hands and feet!" The words were firm and unquestionable.
Old Brown completely hesitated and asked him to make such a decision was definitely not an easy thing. Although this nephew was sent to prison, as a gang leader, sentenced to 30 or 50 years, he basically didn't have to expect to come out in this life. With Old Brown's weight in the underworld, he would not suffer any losses in prison. In this way, it would be a good solution for Old Brown.
However, handing him over means that Old Brown has to hand over a lot of people at the same time, or at least, he has to acquiesce the police to carry out a superficial sweep of George's men. In that case, it will definitely cause a considerable harm to Old Brown's prestige. Moreover, it may even lead to the police's ecstasy, so Old Brown will be in peace. The tacit understanding he originally had with the police will be wiped out.
After pondering for a while, Old Brown took out a cigar from his pocket, and bit off the cigar head with his teeth in annoyance. He lit it and took a deep breath. His irritability was beyond words.
Finally, he pushed the cigar that had just taken two sips out in the ashtray beside his hand and asked, "This... Ai, if you have any ideas about forming, you might as well say it directly."
Ai Yigo smiled. This is the effect he wanted. He also knew that after he said this, he could not get the support of Old Brown immediately. It would be so easy to break his own brothers. He also wanted to see if Old Brown would immediately object directly. If so, Ai Yigo would not mention this matter again and would try to distance himself from Old Brown as much as possible. After all, he was unwilling to involve such obviously illegal activities. Even if he didn't do it, the farther away the better. But Old Brown's hesitation at this moment proved that he was indeed willing to give up a business that was not a lie but a complete crime. Then, Ai Yigo had indeed thought of a way to help Old Brown make up his mind.
"Haha, there is one idea. Let me tell you, listen. The main thing is that you make your own decisions and do it like this if you think it is feasible. If it is not feasible, I just provide an opinion for reference only. I have no intention of mixing things within your gang. Let me make it clear first. I don't want to kill George, I just think this may be a better solution."
Old Brown looked at Ai Yige's serious expression and nodded as if he had made up his mind: "Okay, you said! I said that we are friends, and we can't say anything to our friends!"
