Manhattan Reborn 1978

Inside Polly's office.

Several people noticed that she hung up the phone and stopped the discussion tacitly.

Cohen sat opposite her: "Didn't David say anything?"

"No, let's continue according to the plan we just made. This is the best arrangement we can make now."

"Didn't you say anything?"

Cohen leaned back in his chair, looked at Old Malkin and Ludy with a smile, and raised his eyebrows at them: "Are you sure he never planned this?"

Hardman's brows jumped when he heard this.

He adjusted his clothes unconsciously and raised his hand to scratch the stubble on his chin.

"Plan? What's David's plan?"

Old Malkin shook his head and said: "No, these were not his plans, Cohen."

He paused and said to Hardman: "Mr. Hardman, what Cohen said was that David took out revenge insurance after the Bonini Agreement..."

Malkin Sr. briefly talked about the conversation between the three of them after the party at the New Jersey base.

Hardman listened quietly, but his heart was not at all peaceful.

He recalled everything that had happened since his first meeting with David.

From meeting David by chance at the party at the Blue Crystal Hotel and proposing the establishment of a security guard, to David's words at Bonini's restaurant, to the opening night of the nightclub, when he came up with the insurance company's plan.

Is this guy planning all the people involved step by step?

It’s impossible! !

Old Malkin's voice continued: "When David was answering the phone just now, he obviously turned on the speakerphone later. He wanted Old David next to him to listen too."

"Based on what I know about old David and his son, they would not plan or discuss this matter in advance. It should be an unexpected coincidence, just a coincidence!"

Polly had just learned of their suspicions from her father, and doubts arose in her mind about the matter.

However, she chose to remain silent. Now that Cohen and Hardman were present, if there was anything she wanted to do, she would talk about it after they left.

Cohen nodded and smiled noncommittally at Old Malkin's words: "Then we won't discuss this matter, Mr. Hardman, let's go and settle this matter first!"

With that said, he stood up and walked towards the door.

Hardman nodded in agreement. He stood up and signaled to a few people and walked out the door.

In the room, only the old Malkin father and daughter and Ludy, who had been quiet all the time, were left.

Old Malkin and Polly looked at Ludy. This guy talked too little tonight, which was a bit strange.

Ludy glanced at them left and right, smiled and lit up a cigarette again: "Are we thinking too much?"

"If that kid really has such a plan and he chooses to hide it from us, then we can just pretend we don't know."

"However, I agree with old Malkin now. All of this should be just a coincidence."

Polly nodded: "But I don't think so from Cohen and Hardman."

Old Malkin laughed and stood up: "Let them think whatever they want to think."

Ludi also smiled and nodded: "Maybe after this incident, they will all regard David as a little monster, right?"

Polly walked to her father with a smile: "Then don't think about it! Let's go home and rest now and wait for the news!"

"Okay, let's go home!"

-------

the other side.

After Cohen and Hardman went downstairs, they stood on the street. The two chatted about some specific arrangements, and Hardman drove away and returned to the police station.

Mike Bai has been following the two of them quietly.

He walked up to Cohen and said, "David's plan you mentioned, this...isn't it..."

"Are you trying to say that your imagination of David is too exaggerated?"

"Uh...yeah, that's it."

Cohen looked around at the people on the street, smiled, patted Mike Bai on the shoulder and said, "We don't know what that kid is planning or thinking about."

"But judging from all the things he has done since he started proposing da company, it is difficult for David not to make us think more about things."

Mike Bai seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing: "What are you talking about?"

Cohen smiled and shook his head: "I didn't say anything, man! It may exist, or it may be a coincidence, but it is a great opportunity for us now."

“As for whether the outcome of this matter is what David wants, only God knows!”

With that said, he opened the car door and was ready to go!

Mike Bai was dumbfounded. He didn't expect to get any real answer from Cohen.

He was just frightened by the so-called David's plan because of this incident. .

Can't figure it out?

Then why do you still want it?

David?

Lucky boy!

-------

David returned to his room, put down his backpack, and took a nice shower.

Wearing a large vest and drying his hair, he lay on the small desk, rummaging through his notebooks, thinking about which ones he could take out and put in the angel investment project center.

At this time, Old David knocked on the door and walked in.

Seeing what his son was writing, he said, "Go on, I just want to talk to you about the revenge insurance thing I brought up during the phone call just now."

"Oh, Dad, sit down and talk."

"No, it's actually very simple. Since we all think that the death of these people is connected with the disappearance of the boss, let's tie them together, take out the revenge insurance, have their families sign it, and then use the topic to play with it. "

amount. .

David picked at the water stains inside his ears: "I probably understand, but will this have some bad impact on our company?"

"What's the impact? Are all the big guys buying revenge insurance? Haha~"

"Ahem, okay. I hope Cohen and the others can handle this!"

David understood what his father meant.

It seems that the security company will really show its strength this time and let those who are waiting and watching take a look.

Kill the chicken for the monkey to see?

Forehead. .This metaphor is not very appropriate.

But is it important?

Old David smiled and waved his hand, closed the door and left.

David picked up the pen, looked at the notebook in front of him, and bit the end of the pen.

Two project names and their corresponding development plans were written on it.

After a while.

He looked at the plan and shook his head: "It seems that we need to contact Alicia and ask her to expand the scope of recruitment and recruit more professional talents!"

David put away the things on the table, looked at the time, and stretched.

sleep!

He found a comfortable position and fell asleep quietly.

-------

Soon after David fell asleep successfully.

Somewhere in New Jersey, on the side of the road not far from a three-story abandoned factory building.

Hardman's henchman, the young police officer Matthews Denipero, is leading people to keep an eye on Nicky Barn's secret processing plant.

They received accurate information that Nicky Baan was now in the factory.

Moreover, he will sell a batch of goods here today.

It is not yet known who the buyer is.

He has already reported these things to Hardman.

Hardman told him that the security company had sent people to meet them.

Matthews asked people to drive the car farther away and wait for Cohen and the others to arrive at the intersection.

After he got off the car, he leaned against the car and lit a cigarette.

Just when I was halfway through the process, a small convoy appeared on the road in the distance.

Matthews threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out.

The convoy quickly stopped on the road in front of him.

Cohen and Jackal jumped out of the car and greeted Matthews.

Cohen asked him about the situation.

"So, Nicky Barn is here now?"

"Well, my people saw him leading people in, but they haven't come out yet."

"What's the specific situation inside? How many of them are there?"

Matthews shook his head: "I guess there are at least a dozen people with guns. We haven't found anything too specific yet."

"Due to time constraints, we only found a photo cut out from a newspaper a few years ago. This is Nicky Baan."

As he spoke, he held up a newspaper clipping and pointed to a person in the photo above to Cohen.

"We have looked at the photos with people who know him. Nicky Barn's appearance has not changed much, but he has a little more beard than before."

Cohen took the clipping, took a look at it, and then handed it to Jackal: "How is it?"

Jackal held the belt, took it and looked at it, smiled and nodded: "No problem, do we want to capture that Barn boy alive?"

"Of course!"

Matthews glanced at the Gatling gun on the armored jeep, his throat moved, and then said: "Man, we don't want to be cleaners cleaning up rotten meat."

"Haha~ don't worry."

Jackal gestured to Cohen: "Then let's start taking action?"

"Go ahead and be careful!"

Jackal adjusted his combat uniform: "Yes, sir! Start taking action immediately!"

"Boys, get moving, cheer up. This is not a drill! Don't embarrass me!"

Cohen and Matthews watched Jackal gather the soldiers, get ready, and disappear into the darkness beside the road under the cover of night.

Gradually, only their blurry shadows could be seen shaking in the darkness.

Matthews took the intercom and told his men about the situation.

Then he waited silently with Cohen.
