Chapter 612 would rather give up(1/2)

Helen Powell sighed, tried his best to suppress his emotions, and said, "No matter who he is, I don't want to see him!"

The colleague said, "He said his name is Tom, the controller of Kingsoft Anliangtang, Tom Cao."

Helen Powell's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

The stories of the world have always been the favorites of the people, and Kingsoft Anliangtang represents half of the world of Kingsoft. As the controller of Kingsoft Anliangtang, the character Tom Cao is quite news-oriented. If he can make an interview with him, it will inevitably become a very jealous deed in the eyes of his peers.

"Where is he?" Helen Powell subconsciously rushed out of the office, but as soon as he left the door, he was stunned again, quickly turned back, opened the desk drawer, took out the comb mirror and an exquisite makeup box.

The colleague who was passing the message once benefited from Helen Powell, and was one of the few people in the newspaper who had never had a cold eye for Helen Powell. At this moment, when he saw Helen Powell's panic, he understood: "Helen, you don't have to panic. Tom Cao is a very graceful man. He said that he will have enough patience to wait for your arrival in the reception room."

That being said, Helen Powell was still a little panicked. When he combed his hair that had just been scratched, he couldn't comb it well and almost jumped up anxiously.

The colleague saw it and said in confusion: "Helen, this is just a simple meeting, not a date. You don't have to dress yourself up so beautifully."

Helen Powell was stunned after hearing what his colleague said. Yes, this is not a date for men and women. Why did he react like this? His thinking speed was extremely fast. Within a few seconds of amazement, Helen Powell found several reasons for himself, but finally determined the last far-fetched explanation: "This is just respect!"

Helen Powell, who was just out of respect, was dressed up in a hurry and followed the colleague to the newspaper's reception room.

Although Cao Bin is the leader of the largest gang in Kingsoft, his appearance and temperament are essentially different from other vicious and evil gang leaders. This is related to the restrained cultural habits of the Chinese, but more factors are the influence of the head of the chief Ou Zhiming on Cao Bin. Under the influence of Ou Zhiming, Cao Bin was also familiar with the laws of the United States of America and obtained a lawyer's license with the help of Ou Zhiming. It is different from not reading books. People who have read many books are also obvious differences from those who have only read a few books. Although Cao Bin, although he is not a good read of poetry, he is not as good as those of Ou Zhiming who is well-versed in Chinese and Western knowledge, he is also a knowledgeable and talented person and knowledgeable. At the same time, he is a ruthless person who can stomp his feet on the Jinshan realm. Therefore, the temperament revealed is very unique.

As a reporter, Helen Powell has seen big scenes and interviewed many celebrities and wealthy people during her career. She had never felt nervous before, but her heart couldn't help but fluttered when she saw Cao Bin.

Are you nervous?

It seems, it seems not.

But, whether it is yes or not, it shouldn't be like this.

Helen Powell herself was also extremely puzzled. It was not the first time she had seen Tom Cao. In the ten years she worked as a journalist, she had at least ten opportunities to see Tom Cao. However, it was the first time to see him so close today. Moreover, there would be handshakes and face-to-face communications that were close to each other.

"Hello, reporter Helen, my name is Tom, I'm very happy to know you." Cao Bin stood up from his seat, took only a small step and stopped, and at the same time stretched out his right hand to Helen Powell.

He stood up, took a step, and took the lead in stretching out his right hand. This series of actions meant that Cao Bin was a polite gentleman. But at the same time, he stopped after taking only a small step, showing his status and demeanor in the world. His size was just right.

Helen Powell came forward, held Cao Bin's hand, and with a violent beating heart in his arms, he tried to calm down, "Hello, Tom, I am Helen, I'm very happy to see you."

Cao Bin nodded slightly and said, "This doesn't seem to be a place for talking. There is a cafe downstairs. If reporter Helen can take time, I would like to invite you to have a cup of coffee and talk about topics you may be interested in."

"This is..." Helen Powell hurriedly swallowed the words that had already reached his mouth and changed his mouth: "I have time, and I am very happy to accept your invitation."

Cao Bin smiled faintly, made a call, and then walked downstairs with Helen Powell.

Walking beside Cao Bin, Helen Powell has been trying to calm down his mood, but the heart in his arms is completely out of control, beating and tightening. "Oh my God, what's wrong with me?" Helen Powell asked himself in his heart, and at the same time warned himself: "This is just a meeting about work. Tom Cao found Helen reporters because he had the news intention to reveal it, but had no other intention."

However, such a warning was so pale to Helen Powell's expectations. In Helen Powell's subconscious, she expected it more to be a date than a meeting about work.

This seems strange. Helen Powell's appearance is graceful and sweet and heroic. Although his figure does not have devilish curves, he is also plump and beautiful. Since becoming a reporter for the Kingsoft Post, there has been no shortage of suitors around him. However, no one can touch Helen Powell's heartstrings.

But this is also normal.

As a reporter, Helen Powell can see the essence of this society more deeply than ordinary people. Helen Powell, who is kind-hearted and controversial, naturally cannot stand the intrigue of the society's jungle. All she can do is to take up the pen in her hand to fight these phenomena. Although it doesn't have much effect, she has put all her strength into consideration. Just like the train robber case, Helen Powell was looking forward to the appearance of a hero, so he stayed on the train regardless of her own danger until she met the appearance of Luo Lie's flying knife.

Helen Powell initially had no good feelings for An Liangtang. Although this gang did not do anything bad to be grabbed by the tail, and there are many legends about the heroic deeds of the gang controller Tom Cao, Helen Powell believes that those are quarrels after all, and there is no substantial right or wrong, and it is these quarrels that are the root of the chaos in Kingsoft society.

However, when she followed the hot topics about the news that Luo Lie Flying Knife killed train robbers, she gradually changed her understanding of An Liangtang. She knew that the eight words "punish evil and promote good and eliminate violence and maintain good" were not just a slogan of An Liangtang, nor was it an excuse for the gang to do for themselves, but their behavior and their beliefs.

Later, Helen Powell finally got the truth of the matter. When the biggest leader of the train robbers, Blanco, the demon infamous and intimidating several western states such as California, Nevada and Utah, was removed by Tom Cao of Anliangtang, Helen Powell's impression of Anliangtang and Tom Cao had a complete change.

In her mind, An Liangtang is no longer an ordinary gang, and Tom Cao is no longer a hateful gangster. They are heroes, and Tom Cao is the hero of these heroes!

Beauties have loved heroes since ancient times!

This is true for Eastern culture, and so is Western Western culture.

Having determined that Cao Bin is the hero among the heroes, Helen Powell naturally had a faint love feeling in his heart. It was limited to the separation of social industries and the separation of social circles, including the objective separation of race. Helen Powell did not think that there would be a fate between her and Cao Bin, so this feeling was buried deep in her heart.

However, Cao Bin's sudden visit caused the feelings buried deep in Helen Powell's heart to suddenly burst out, breaking through all the shackles, not only released in the fantasies in thinking, but also reflected in the real reactions in the body's functions.

The idol was by his side, and Helen Powell became more and more excited, and he was even more distracted and unable to concentrate. As a result, when he was down the last stairs, he was accidentally shaken. Cao Bin reacted very quickly and helped Helen.

Cao Bin's hand only supported Helen's arm, but Helen felt the contact between Cao Bin's powerful fingers and his skin. In addition, his whole body was shocked, and a blush also quietly appeared on his cheeks. "Thank you, Tom." A simple sentence revealed Helen's full sense of happiness.

When he arrived at the cafe, Cao Bin first pulled out the seat for Helen. After Helen sat down, he sat opposite Helen, called the waiter, and sought Helen's choice.

After ordering coffee, Cao Bin went straight to the topic of his trip: "Helen, I know you are a brave journalist, and a righteous journalist. This can be seen in the report of my brother Noli at the beginning of the year. I came to you today to get your help. There is a major event related to the interests of the entire Kingsoft people and even the entire United States of America. I want to expose you."

Hearing Cao Bin's words, Helen suddenly shook. Her nearly ten years of professional qualities allowed her to temporarily get rid of the interference of her inner feelings, concentrate and respond: "As long as the situation is true, I will be responsible."

Cao Bin nodded slightly and continued, "But you may be retaliated by unknown forces, which will push yourself into a dangerous situation. However, I will make a solemn promise to you that Anliangtang will do his best to protect your safety."

The sudden mood that had just been suppressed was rekindled by Cao Bin's promise. An Liangtang will do his best to protect her safety. So, will there be more opportunities for contact between her and Cao Bin?

A blush quietly hit Helen's cheek again. She smiled, restrained her impulse, and replied, "I'm not afraid of danger, I'm just afraid that things are not true enough."

Cao Bin said: "Some time ago, our Anliangtang intercepted a batch of opium..."

Perhaps he wanted to show something in front of his idol, Helen lost her composure and said: "I know about this. I participated in the report of that case. Carl Stockton of the police station said that the case was seized by him. I really didn't expect that the real hero was you."

Cao Bin smiled slightly and said, "The total number of cases announced by Superintendent Carl is only 200 tons..."

Helen lost her composure again, half-covered her mouth and exclaimed: "I noticed that you used a word that only, my goodness, two hundred tons of opium are the largest case that the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration has cracked since its establishment!"

Cao Bin didn't care that Helen interrupted him twice in a row, and continued with a smile: "Yes, the number of 200 tons is already very amazing, but this is just a bait thrown by the traffickers. Behind it, there is a more terrifying number, 1,800 tons!"

Helen subconsciously said, "God! Did I hear it wrong? One thousand eight hundred tons, how many people would have killed?"

Cao Bin took a deep breath and said, "The previous batch of two hundred tons of opium was seized and destroyed by Superintendent Carl of the police station, but I learned from internal information that the batch of goods was dropped before they were destroyed, and Superintendent Carl was assassinated six days ago..."

Helen interrupted Cao Bin again and exclaimed: "Are you saying that someone in the police station embezzled that batch of opium?"

Cao Bin nodded and said, "It's not just the police station, but maybe there are also people from the federal army behind it."

Helen was even more surprised and asked, "Military? Tom, is your source of information reliable?"

Cao Bin nodded and replied: "The news comes from Superintendent Carl, but unfortunately he has been killed now."

Helen shook her head slowly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Tom, it's not that I don't want to help you, but it's not in line with the principle of news without real evidence. I..."

Cao Bin interrupted Helen's hesitation and said, "I don't need you to expose the truth behind this case. I just hope you can expose the remaining 1,800 tons of opium, and call on the conscience of Kingsoft to rush to the hiding place of the batch of opium, and everyone will do it together, without going through the police station to completely destroy the batch of opium that has hurt people."

Helen said excitedly: "This is a call full of justice! Tom, I am grateful that you can hand me this opportunity. Please tell me where the opium is hiding. I will go back to write. There is a section of mine in the newspaper that will be released tomorrow."

Cao Bin said: "Then don't you need to conduct a field inspection before writing or publishing?"

Helen smiled sincerely and said, "No, Tom, since you removed the demon named Blanco, so that people on the east and west coasts no longer have to worry about train robbers. I regard you as the hero in my mind. I believe you completely."

After Helen Powell, who had always been fierce and generous, expressed his thoughts, he couldn't help but smile shyly, and a blush appeared between his cheeks again.

The next morning, the Kingsoft Post began to be issued.

Helen Powell's report not only shocked the editor-in-chief of the Post, but also adjusted the report to the front page of the Post, but also shocked all the conscientious citizens of Kingsoft. The first 10,000 newspapers were sold out, and the second 10,000 copies printed by the newspaper clearly could not meet the needs of the citizens.

Helen Powell used a strategy in the report. Instead of using tons of measurement, she converted it into ounces. One ton is equal to more than 35,000 ounces, and one ton is 63 million ounces. In addition, the font is enlarged and black, the string of Arabic numerals with six zeros seem particularly dazzling. The last paragraph of the report was the advocacy issued by Helen Powell on behalf of the Kingsoft Post: "At this moment, six hundred thousand Kingsoft people should unite closely and contribute their own weak power. Everyone only needs to destroy one hundred ounces personally, so these opiums will never harm others!"

Out of passion or curiosity, at around 8 o'clock in the morning, citizens rushed to the place where the abandoned mine was located, and more and more people gathered. By 10 o'clock in the morning, the mine was filled with conscience-related citizens.

The citizens who arrived first had already transported out more than ten boxes of opium, piled them up in the open space outside the entrance of the alley. Cao Bin personally took action and opened the wooden box in front of many citizens, and found that the goods contained in it were the opium that harmed people. The verification result quickly spread from the inside out, and people's emotions became excited. First, some people were shouting to burn the opium, and then gradually formed a unified shout: "Burn it!"

All Cao Bin wanted was this kind of situation. In front of the crowd, he let the collusion members of the military and police plan, and he did not dare to do anything. As for whether his reputation and Anliangtang could be improved by taking this opportunity, it was not important. Amid the shouts of the people, the brothers at the entrance of the hall poured gasoline on the opium, and Cao Bin personally drew matches and threw them over. As the fire ignited, people's emotions became even higher. A long line was lined up at the entrance of the alleyway, and everyone hoped to participate in this campaign to destroy opium.

The cargo weighs about 200 kilograms. In the end, the wooden boxes stored in the depths of the lane should be as many as 18,000. If you hire porters to carry them all, it will take at least three days to transport them out. However, the onlookers were in a rush, and everyone was extremely eager to join the opium transport team, so they consciously demonstrated their strong organization and discipline. They did not even need the coordination of the brothers at the entrance, and could consciously form a transport group, either four or five people, lined up along the left side of the lane, and carried wooden boxes out one after another on the right side of the lane. On average, twenty-four or five wooden boxes could be transported out in one minute.

A fire was not enough, and people spontaneously ignited dozens of fires elsewhere. When they first started, every wooden box moved out had to be unboxed and inspected. However, with a 100% verification rate, people believed in the fact that opium was stored in the wooden boxes stored in the lane, so they simply gave up inspection. Any wooden box moved out was thrown directly into the fire.

In just forty minutes, thousands of wooden boxes were transported out of the lane and threw them into the fire. People's emotions were not at all depressed. The queues were getting longer and longer when they moved out a wooden box. Moreover, many people still felt that it was not enough, so they turned around and went to the end of the line to continue queuing.

Dong Biao, who could hardly get involved, didn't care about the hard work of staying in this alley for a day and a night. He shook his head and sighed: "Brother Bin is Brother Bin. He is not just a cunning man, he is simply a scheming and scheming!"

The brother in the hall next to him replied: "Brother Biao, he is too scheming and scheming, it seems that he is not as good as a cunning person. You use it simply, and it seems a bit inappropriate."

Dong Biao rolled his eyes and said, "That's the meaning, what words do you bite? Does it mean that you have been educated after reading books?"

Another brother in the hall laughed and said, "Brother Biao, it's okay to be a scheming word, it's not a compliment, but it's not a derogatory term. However, the word "crawling" is an absolute derogatory term, and it also has some swearing meaning. Isn't it appropriate to use it on Brother Bin?"

The brother who was criticized just now said, "That's right, if Brother Biao doesn't treat you to drink, don't blame the brothers for making your report in front of Brother Bin!"

Dong Biao laughed and said, "It's simple to want to drink Brother Biao's treats! It's fine to say hello, but if you use Brother Bian's name to blackmail you Brother Biao, you are very wrong. In front of Brother Bian, you Brother Biao can also say the four words "scholars" in front of Brother Bian. You talk with your conscience. Brother Bian's trick not only earns a lot of reputation, but also has a lot of money to hire people. Isn't this a trick? Isn't this a cunning?"

Dong Biao has never read much, and he can't tell the difference between derogatory meanings and positive meanings. It is not easy to be able to pull out a string of idioms. Even if he says inappropriate idioms in front of Cao Bin, Cao Bin will not be angry. At most, he will just slap him. But for other brothers, he dare not be so arrogant. Even if he is carrying Cao Bin on his back, he dare not be disrespectful in his words. Therefore, Dong Biao's words became a masterpiece, and no brother knew how to continue.

After a moment of dismay, Dong Biao shouted, "I'm leaving, it's useless to stay here. It's better to go back to the hall and eat, drink, take a shower and make up for it!"

The brother beside him said, "No, Brother Biao, if something happens again, we are not here, Brother Bin doesn't have enough people around him!"

Dong Biao pointed his fingers around the citizens and sighed, "What can happen in this situation? Even if someone wants to make trouble, can these tens of thousands of people spare him? Don't worry, with the protection of these foreigners, Brother Bin can't have any accidents. Besides, this scene will not be completed in more than ten hours. Let's hurry up and go back and repair it, so that we can replace Brother Bin and the others."

----

At the same time, in a barracks about fifteen or sixteen kilometers away from this lively place, Deputy Director of the Police, Stander, Captain Stander, a warship of the Federal Navy, and Cooper, the captain of a regiment of the Federal Army, joined a private room in the Officers' Club. This private room was very luxurious and hidden. If you want to enter from outside, you have to pass at least three guard posts. The people guarding these three levels were all the soldiers that Colonel Cooper trusted the most.

In the corner of the private room, there was a capable man wearing a black leather jacket. He seemed to be deaf in the conversations of the other three, but he just carried a bottle of wine and fed a bite from time to time.

The three of them obviously had a dispute over a certain issue. Eston and Stander agreed, while Cooper had different opinions. "This matter cannot be continued, we must stop in time. We have failed twice in a row against Cao Bin and Dong Biao. If there is a third failure, we may be exposed."

Eston sneered: "Yes, stop now, of course you won't be exposed, but I have already been exposed. Although Larson got rid of Carl Stockton, he had already told Tom what he knew. Is it too late to stop now?"

Stander said, "If Charlie and Tanlia of Miami were not killed, you would stop. Anyway, the two hundred tons of goods can be turned into cash. As for the larger batch of goods behind, just think we have never heard of them. However, Charlie was dead and Tanlia was dead, and there was no buyer for that batch of goods, I could only transport it back intact. Cooper, do you know how much risk I took? If I stop now, I can only order my soldiers to dump all the goods into the sea."

Cooper decided: "What I said was to stop assassinating Tom and Jack anymore. Larson was the best hunter I've ever met. Even he said he was not sure that he could kill those two people smoothly. I don't know what other opportunities we can find. As for that batch of goods, Stander, if you are inconvenient to store them, you can leave them to me for processing."

Eston sneered: "You're going to deal with it? Will it be stored in your military camp? Can that batch of goods be disguised as war preparations or logistics supplies?"

Cooper said: "Of course I won't store it in the military camp, but I have a lot of relationships outside the military camp, and I can find a suitable place to store that batch of goods."
