Hardy Empire 1945

McKinsey Club 5.

It looks like a bar club, only for private members, but secretly it is a high-end underground casino.

It's quiet here during the day, but it gets very lively at night.

A Lincoln sedan pulls into the parking lot.

The parking lot is about 200 meters away from the private club, and dozens of cars are parked.

A middle-aged man in a black suit got out of the car.

He had just come from his lover, and he was in a very good mood.

I'm going to win tonight.

Just as the door was closed, two figures suddenly appeared behind him.

Bang~!

The wooden stick hit the man in the suit heavily on the head, and the guy rolled his eyes and fainted.

Matthew, you won't kill him, will you? Henry asked worriedly.

Matthew chuckled, Don't worry, I'm measured.

The two guys moved very fast, one searched, the other took out the rope from his body and tied the man.

A towel was shoved into his mouth, and a black cloth bag was put on his head.

The action is extremely skilled, and at first glance, it is a habitual offender.

Open the trunk of the car and drop the piggy-like guy in it.

After tidying up their suits, the two walked towards the door of the clubhouse, walking a few dozen meters forward, and under the streetlight, Henry opened the guy's wallet.

Inside, the two found an exquisite card, which was the membership card of McKinsey Club 5.

There is a name on the back.

I looked in my wallet again and found a few business cards.

Head of Credit at City Bank of Los Angeles.

Kevin Madeine.

Henry patted his wallet and said to Matthew with a smile, Kevin Madine is my cousin from now on.

It's really miserable to be your cousin. Matthew smiled.

There was a lot of cash in this guy's wallet. Henry looked at it. It was more than three hundred dollars, which was quite a lot.

When the two came to the door of the clubhouse, two tall guys stopped them, Please show your membership card, both gentlemen.

Henry handed over Kevin Madine's membership card.

The doorman took the card and glanced at it, then looked at Henry, Sir, this is Mr. Madeine's membership card. I know Mr. Madeine.

Kevin is my cousin. He said there was something interesting here, so he gave me this card and let me play. He said that I could go in with this card, why not? Henry frowned.

So that's the case, those two gentlemen please come in. The strong man stepped to the side and made a gesture of invitation.

Henry and Matthew took two steps forward, then stopped and asked, By the way, how do I get a membership card? If it's fun here, we'll get two.

With a deposit of $1,000 and an annual membership fee of $500, you can enjoy membership services. Zhuang Han said.

Henry nodded, Well, it's not expensive.

This guy is just pretending.

He couldn't even get 100 yuan on him.

Walk into the clubhouse with Matthew.

The interior of the clubhouse is gorgeously decorated.

Lots of guests.

Some are drinking coffee, some are chatting in the bar, the women here are all dressed in bright clothes, Henry and Matthew naturally know what they do.

The two of them were not in a hurry and asked for two glasses of wine at the bar.

Observe your surroundings carefully.

Most of the topics people talk about here are about gambling.

A young woman put her arms around an old man in a suit and leather shoes in his sixties, and the two of them walked forward while talking about playing something.

The woman said that it is more interesting to play the game, and the old man smiled and said that Texas Hold'em was more interesting.

Henry and Matthew looked at each other, got up and followed the old man and the woman not far away, and walked to the side passage together.

Going down a few steps, I have come to the ground,

When I came to a gate, there were two bodyguards standing at the gate. When I saw a guest coming over, I opened the gate actively.

Suddenly a loud voice came out.

This is the most attractive part of the McKinsey No. 5 Club,

underground casino.

The old man and the young woman went to change the chips, and Henry and Matthew followed. When the old man changed the chips, Henry and the two kept looking at the situation inside.

After buying the window, they can see that there are many chips in the room behind the window, and the cash is directly put into the suitcase.

The moment the suitcase was opened, it was full of colorful bills.

When it was their turn, Henry took out his cousin's wallet, which contained more than three hundred dollars, and he rudely exchanged them all for chips.

One and a half with Matthew.

Let's separate and observe the situation here while playing. Henry whispered.

No problem. Matthew replied.

Three hours later, Henry and Matthew lost all their chips and had to converge, and the two spread their hands and left.

Through these three hours of observation, the two gained a lot of useful information.

When we got to the parking lot, I got into Cousin Henry's Lincoln car, left the clubhouse, and came to a newly rented yard in the lower city.

This yard used to be a small factory. It is located in a slum area and is controlled by the Jewish gang. The personnel here are complicated, and few police officers come here. Hadi plans to turn it into a temporary base.

Boss, the situation is almost the same.

After entering the door, Henry smiled and said to Hadi.

Then Henry and Matthew told Hardy the whole process of the survey in detail, and also drew a simple drawing.

The place to exchange the chips is here, and the money is piled up in the box inside. Matthew pointed to a room in the blueprint.

How many do you estimate?

Henry thought about it,

When we left, there were about 100 people in the casino. It was the busiest time. I have been paying attention to the window to exchange chips. The turnover is estimated to be 70,000 to 80,000 US dollars.

At this moment, Matthew thought of something.

By the way, when I was playing poker, I listened to other gamblers chatting and said that there will be a blackjack game the night after tomorrow, and there will definitely be a lot of people playing at that time, and there will definitely be more cash at that time.

Hold a blackjack contest.

Hardy also thought it was a good time.

Okay, you two rest, we will discuss who to attack when Richard and Neil come back from their investigation. Hardy said.

Henry just stood up when he suddenly thought of something.

Boss, in order to sneak in, we arrested a person, the credit director of a bank, and now that guy is still tied in the trunk, what do you think? Henry asked.

Hardy was taken aback.

You still tied someone?

That club is a membership system, there is no way but to use this method.

I think it's better to tie a stone and throw it into the Los Angeles River, said Matthew next to him.

Hardy shook his head.

We can do bad things, but not bad people.

Matthew and Henry are both a little confused, isn't that the same meaning?

Hardy looked at the two guys and said: We are gangsters, robbery, loan sharks, selling illicit tobacco and alcohol, and even killing people, all of these can be done, but these are just for survival, the weak eat the strong, the country is like this, but We don't need to kill people for no reason, that's the evil nature of our hearts.

Henry and Matthew nodded vaguely.

Then what to do with that guy, let him go now? Matthew asked.

Of course not.

Hardy vetoed outright.

Throw him in the cellar first, tell him that he has been kidnapped, and that he needs to pay a ransom to release him, and then release him after we finish our work.

Henry and Matthew blinked.

Is the boss doing this to be a good person?

Really nice guy!

Hardy did this really not to extort that little money, but mainly to prevent him from revealing his whereabouts and to ensure the smooth completion of the operation.
