Chapter 86 Lying Without Blinking
Sonny, who was hiding behind the sofa, thought he was safe seeing Tom standing still.
Standing up carelessly, he asked, "Who is calling, and the manor is all within tens of meters of our family. Where did the sniper come from?"
Because he is an adopted son, Tom, who seldom swears and gets angry, roared angrily in an instant, "Shall I tell you then.
The other party said that your curly hair and your big and small eyes are too conspicuous by the window. It is impossible for him not to notice you? "
After finishing speaking, Tom yelled at the fat man in frustration, "In less than five minutes, you actually ate 4 tiramisu and 2 pieces of Mendova shortbread.
Give back the Colt revolver in your hand. It doesn't even have a range of 50 meters. Who are you trying to scare? "
Seeing Tom in a rage, the three people present were afraid to speak for a while.
Then I saw Tom sitting on the sofa with a happy and tired face, covering his forehead with his hands and saying, "The new guards in the manor must be replaced immediately.
The person on the phone not only told me that the man on the balcony was secretly drinking whiskey.
The rookie who was guarding the other side of the pond actually kept his finger on the trigger.
He would have been lucky if the gun went off and only knocked off his toe."
The fat man who brought the novice, while blushing, couldn't help but look at Sonny who had a bad complexion.
Because he was anxious to find the godfather of the Tataglia family, Sonny not only gathered hundreds of elites to wait for the news,
They also mobilized most of the peripheral forces to search for people and inquire about the news, which resulted in insufficient manpower to guard the manor and had to recruit some newcomers.
Mike, who got up from the carpet, hurriedly sat beside Tom and asked, "What did the person on the phone say?"
Tom sighed with lingering fear, and recalled what Li Changheng said, "It's nothing more than scaring and warning us, but this man feels like a lunatic to me.
Moreover, he is by no means an ordinary killer, he must have received professional military training."
Unexpectedly, Sonny did not get angry this time, but stood by the window as if he was serious, looking for where Li Changheng was hiding.
It's a pity that after hanging up the phone, Li Changheng slipped down the tree immediately and packed up the phone and wires before leaving.
A few minutes later, Sonny sighed and said, "Should we expand the size of the manor several times?"
"The cost is too high," Mike said while sitting on the sofa, "we only need to grow some big trees within the fence of the manor.
Preventing enemies from climbing in from outside the fence can also block the sight of snipers.
Coupled with the interference of leaves and branches on bullets, there should be no need to worry too much about snipers."
"That's a good idea," Sonny smiled a little, "It seems that you gave up your college studies and joined the army to go to the Vietnamese men's battlefield, and you still have something to gain."
After this threat, whether it was Mike, Tom, or Sonny, they all listed Li Changheng as unnecessary or not to be offended.
Otherwise, even if they couldn't aim at the entire manor, if they aimed at the gate of the manor, the members of the Corleone family wouldn't even think about going out.
Or sniping in the city is impossible to guard against.
Ten minutes later, Mike drove away from the manor alone with a travel suitcase.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, when the subway stopped at Times Square Station, Mike saw a man with a scarf around his face and a baseball cap on his head, standing in the carriage and waving to himself.
Before the car door was closed, Mike quickly walked into the car, "Why did you do that?"
"You should understand, Mike." Li Changheng shrugged, "If you cooperate with someone like you, if you don't have countermeasures in hand, I will be the one who can't sleep well."
"There's no need to use that method to intimidate Sonny."
"That can't be helped." Li Changheng shrugged, "Who is your elder brother Sonny, when your father was seriously injured and admitted to the hospital, you sent a large number of people to the street without thinking.
Not only almost killed your father, but also gave the enemy every opportunity to break through, and made the New York police focus on the Corleone family who were originally reasonable."
Li Changheng, who covered his face with a scarf, stared at Mike with piercing eyes and said, "So, do you think I should guard against Sonny?
Moreover, to cooperate with a family like yours, you must clearly understand.
Is it the business that matters, or the entire Corleone family?"
"You...", while Mike was angry, he looked at Li Changheng with some admiration in his heart.
This is the first time someone has turned around and dared to use their family members to threaten their mafia family.
But when I thought that I didn't even know what Li Changheng's name was, let alone where he was born and who else was in his family.
As long as you leave New York, you don't know where to find someone if you want revenge.
Shaking his head helplessly, Mike raised the travel suitcase in his hand, "I brought one million, what business do you want to talk about?"
Li Changheng chuckled, knowing that Mike had nothing to do with him, so he could only change the subject.
When the subway arrived at the next station, he took the subway back to Times Square Station with Mike, and passed through three more stations before leaving the station and driving to Long Island.
Mike, who was sitting in the car, looked at Li Changheng sighing in his heart. This young man who was much younger than him was not only cruel, but also a little too cautious.
Li Changheng, who was driving, took out a small black velvet bag from his pocket and threw it to Mike.
"I'm still reasonable. If I call you out alone, I have to send you back safely."
Mike thanked helplessly, and then he didn't need to open the bag, just looking at the black velvet specially used to prevent abrasion, he knew that the business was related to diamonds.
When he saw that the bag was full of peanut-sized rough pink diamonds and red diamonds of at least 5 carats.
I was overjoyed, "It seems that you have a stable supply of diamonds of high enough quality?"
"I just like dealing with smarts like you."
Li Changheng patted Mike on the shoulder with a smile, opened his eyes and lied, "Dude, if I only make a deal with you, do I need to save your father again, appear near your house again, and threaten you?"
Mike, who didn't know that Li Changheng left after earning a fortune, nodded without thinking when he saw what Li Changheng said so straightforwardly.
The mafia fights back and forth for nothing more than profit.
This kind of tense period when the war is almost about to start, a stable source of profit, let alone him and his father Corleone.
Even Sonny, who uses his fists more than his brain, can understand that after fighting back and forth, the bottom line is what matters in the end.
And the thickness of the funds in hand is definitely the most important capital.
Mike took out one diamond after another to check it out, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he was.
Although he is not a professional jewelry appraiser, the Corleone family has been involved in other lucrative businesses except 'flour'.
Jewelry was a big deal, of course, and what was old Corleone sending him to college for?
In addition to Mike's talent for reading, not only did he want the Corleone family to have a political son, but he also wanted to hand over the legal business to him.
Therefore, Mike is no stranger to jewelry.
If these twenty diamonds are all flawless and pure, even if they are not polished, they will definitely cost more than 1 million US dollars.
As for the certificate issue?
