Chapter 519 The so-called "unconventional means"
"Agent Li, what should we do now?" Chloe rubbed her head. "It's hard for us to interfere in the affairs of a guy like Adrian Witte who controls capital... After all, he can communicate directly with the upper echelons of the government."
"Chloe, I have to say that you are a good detective... but you haven't really entered the profession of FBI agent yet." Li Chengfeng smiled and patted Chloe's shoulder. "In our line of work, we can't be too concerned with the law... We don't need to focus on bringing people to justice through the so-called law... What we need to do is to solve problems and eliminate threats."
Li Chengfeng actually has high expectations for Chloe Decker.
After all, this kind of serious person is actually needed by the entire FBI.
But when it comes to this kind of issue, being too serious and righteous...has become a hindrance to solving the problem.
Li Chengfeng said this, pointing at Lucifer standing beside him.
"In fact, after joining the FBI, you can definitely learn Lucifer's code of conduct."
"Huh?" Lucifer was holding a cigarette and was about to light it, "What about my business?"
"Learn from Lucifer?" Chloe glanced at the carefree Lucifer, sighed and continued, "This is the most desperate news I have heard this year."
"Hahaha, Lucifer is actually much smarter than you think... He is a fallen angel after all."
"Look, Miss Detective, what did I say? We have to punish these guilty guys directly..." Lucifer felt a little proud after being praised by Li Chengfeng. "This will always be more effective than any law!"
Li Chengfeng nodded.
The reason why he started to pay attention to this matter was actually because he was interested in Pharaoh and Dr. Manhattan.
So in this universe, could it be possible that Pharaoh made Dr. Manhattan, who was reincarnated to experience life, his own son?
I really don't know if it's a matter of luck or if it's intentional.
But one thing is for sure...
Given the personalities of these anti-heroes in "Watchmen", when things really get serious, they won't care about civilian casualties.
Therefore, Li Chengfeng thought it would be best to keep a firm grasp on the movements of this group of people.
But if you can't hold on...
Then crush them to death before Dr. Manhattan wakes up.
"Okay, stop staring at each other here." Li Chengfeng clapped his hands, "Next we have to start the action."
"What should we do?" Chloe was a little confused. "Although I know what you mean... I really have no idea."
"If you have no clue, then just use some unexpected... unconventional means."
Li Chengfeng said with a smile.
……
The next day, in Adrian Veidt's luxurious office.
"Boss, something terrible has happened!"
The president's assistant strode in.
"Alice, as my chief assistant to the president, you shouldn't be so flustered..."
"Boss! I have to panic!" Alice, the president's assistant, said anxiously, "Since we paid the bail yesterday and brought the young master back, after a three-hour silent period, all the companies, factories and investors who cooperated with us have chosen to withdraw!"
"And until now, those people in the American government haven't said a word!"
Perhaps the situation was too difficult and unbelievable, so this beautiful and elegant assistant to the president burst out swearing.
Adrian Witte's brows were tightly furrowed.
All these things happened in one night?
In other words... someone deliberately started to attack his industry?
“Have those who have withdrawn their investment and cancelled cooperation revealed who we are against?”
"No... but they all said that this is someone we can't afford to offend." Alice shook her head helplessly, "But when Oliver Queen of Star City withdrew his investment, he mentioned..."
"Oliver Queen? What did he say?"
"He said...if you hadn't paid the $3 million bail, you wouldn't have come to this point."
Hearing this, Adrian Witte's expression suddenly changed.
At that moment, he was no longer the president of Pacific Basin.
But the Pharaoh.
His intelligence and intuition told him...
None of this is directed at him.
It was directed at his son.
It's directed at...Dr. Manhattan.
Yes, of course he knew that his son was Dr. Manhattan, his old friend Jon Osterman.
But... he wasn't sure about one thing.
Does the other party know the true identity of his son?
"Did Oliver Queen say anything else besides this?"
"He said." Alice nodded, "He said that you can't die easily."
Upon hearing this, the Pharaoh laughed out loud.
As a person who believes that he has the highest IQ in the world, he is an outstanding representative among the upper elite.
Rationality comes first. Don’t care about the process, just the result.
He fabricated the biggest political lie in history, which ended the Cold War.
But the cost was the lives of millions of ordinary people around the world.
After all, in the eyes of a cold-blooded and arrogant elite like him, this price is insignificant and a drop in the bucket compared to the peace gained in exchange!
But what he didn't expect was that it was this move of his that year that directly led to the emergence of the World Federal Bureau of Investigation of the World Federation.
The "Pharaoh" was immediately identified by the World Federation as the most dangerous murderer.
Therefore, he had to completely give up his identity as a vigilante and was no longer Pharaoh.
Now, he had a hunch that this incident was definitely the work of the World Federation and the FBI...
My identity has been exposed.
And the American government, which has formed a close cooperative relationship with him over the years, can't even say a word at this time.
The Pharaoh couldn't help but sneer.
As expected, the most unreliable people are those politicians who can be impressed and won over by money.
"Boss, what should we do now?"
"What to do?" Pharaoh shook his head. "Sit here and wait for the real owner to come."
"Ah? Is it that simple?"
"He has the ability to easily bankrupt the entire Pacific Shipping Line... but he didn't just kill me. Of course, he is ready to come and talk to me."
Alice nodded as if she understood, and at this moment, the voice of the security guard rang out on her internal communicator.
"Ms. Alice, there are several outsiders who want to enter the building..."
"They said they were FBI agents."
Alice suddenly raised her head and looked at the Pharaoh.
"Look, what did I say?"
The Pharaoh smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Over the years...their style of doing things has never changed."
