Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

Early morning~

Outside JFK International Airport.

Mr. Tianniu leaned on the car door, looked at Harold Stone, the head of the FBI's New York branch, coming towards him, took out his cigarette case and asked with a smile.

"Are you relieved now?"

"How is that possible?" Although Mr. Stone said negative words, the expression on his face betrayed him.

Mr. Tianniu smiled and shook his head, and handed over a cigarette: "Who is Marat's true identity? Don't you really want to know?"

"No!" Mr. Stone declined the cigarette offered by Mr. Longhorn and sighed as he turned to look at the plane taking off from the airport and slowly rising into the sky.

"What headquarters wants is no trouble. What I want is for New York to remain calm."

"He's gone, and it's not too late for me to be happy!"

"Knowing too much doesn't do me any good."

"Haha~" Mr. Tianniu exhaled a cloud of smoke, smiled and nodded, expressing his understanding.

Mr. Stone looked up at the smaller and smaller flights in the sky, his mind gradually returned to calm, and he joked with red eyes.

"Since you know this guy's true identity, how dare you use it?"

"Aren't you afraid...?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"Are you afraid of you?" Mr. Tianniu asked back with a thorn in his words.

"Haha~" Mr. Stone knew that he had asked a question that could not get an "accurate" answer, so he simply changed the topic with a smile.

"When I was chatting with that guy just now, I heard him mention... Your boss wants to set up a trust fund for you to protect the lives of you and your family?"

"Yeah~"

"But he...has established many trust funds, right?"

"What...is he trying to do?"

"You can't figure it out?"

"Yup!"

"It just so happens, so am I." Mr. Tianniu spread his hands, looking like he had finally found his "soulmate", shook his head and smiled.

"As far as I know, David's biggest expense since he became rich has been the purchase of a private jet."

"But the second-hand private jet bought from General Electric Company is not just for him."

"He specially set up a sharing company for that plane, so that many people can enjoy the convenience and convenience of traveling by private plane at a very small cost..."

"Haha~"

"You know! Right?"

"Yes, of course I understand!" Mr. Stone walked to the side of the beetle, leaned against the car door with his hands in his pockets, and smiled.

"In the past, happiness could only be enjoyed by the rich, but now it has become... not so out of reach."

"If I could easily take out this money, I would also be willing to join this sharing company and enjoy it."

"Hahaha~"

Mr. Tianniu threw the cigarette butt on the ground, took out his car keys and smiled.

"This is not difficult for you~"

"David asked Elena to take charge of this matter. Your wife Helis is a good friend of her~"

"If you take the initiative to find Elena, there will definitely be no problem."

"No~ forget it." Mr. Stone waved his hands and said.

"Elena considers my wife a good friend, but that doesn't mean I can take advantage of her."

"Haha~" Mr. Tianniu laughed.

He opened the car door and said with a smile: "I kind of understand why you were able to win Helis's heart."

"Man, please excuse me for a few words."

"The Herris I know, she always wanted to be a good wife and live a peaceful ordinary life with her husband and children."

"If there is a conflict between you, please don't hurt her!"

"Because although she looks strong on the outside, she can no longer bear it on the inside..."

"Don't worry!" Mr. Stone stopped joking and nodded with a serious expression.

"I have experienced a failed marriage, and I know that both parties must maintain trust, respect, tolerance, responsibility and gratitude in order to spend the rest of their lives together."

"...That makes sense!" Longhorn looked at Harold Stone carefully in surprise, and nodded slowly.

"But I still want to say that we will always pay attention to your actual actions."

"I hope you won't disappoint us."

"We?" Mr. Stone took out the car keys from his pocket and asked.

"Can you tell me who they are?"

"When I see you in the future, it's convenient to say hello."

"You will know." Mr. Tianniu said as he got into the cab and started the car.

"Finally, one more message for you."

"That clever Ezra Claymore, you'd better stay away from him."

"Uh... ok!"

"goodbye!"

"Ah."

. . .

Mr. Tianniu, let’s go.

Harold Stone stood there, thinking about the last words he left in his heart, shaking his head slightly with a strange smile, and talking to himself.

"Do you like to be clever?"

"Knew it!"

"Where in the world are there so many fools?"

----

More than an hour later.

Manhattan, in front of Wildfire Bar on 42nd Street.

Mr. Tianniu parked the car, stood on the street and let out a sigh of relief. When he saw the steel-toothed dog Menge just walking out of the bar, he smiled, nodded and joked.

"If I can force my way through the crowded streets of Manhattan during the morning rush hour, can I drive a New York taxi?"

"Hahaha~ Awesome!" Menge showed a few shiny steel teeth, gave a thumbs up and smiled.

"Are you here to see the boss?"

"Ah."

"That's right, let's go up together."

"ok~"

. . .

Upstairs at Wildfire Bar.

When Mr. Tianniu arrived, David was sitting in the restaurant, reading the newspaper in his hand, frowning.

He turned around and saw the longhorned beetle, and immediately waved to him: "Can you contact Odis Parker?"

"Now?"

"Correct!"

"If you can contact him, ask him to tell Carnes immediately and sell the crude oil spot in your hand as soon as possible!"

"Uh..." Mr. Tianniu was a little dazed and nodded.

"Any more?"

"No, go ahead."

"If Karnes asks for a reason, tell him to forget about it and clear all the crude oil on hand, and I will give him a satisfactory reason."

"Okay~" This is what the longhorned beetle was waiting for, and turned around and left.

After David watched him leave, he gently rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers and let out a sigh of relief.

Cui Yingying, who was wearing a plaid apron, placed a few freshly cut meat sausages on the dining table and asked with concern.

"Do you have a headache again?"

"Shall I press it for you?"

"Huh~ OK!"

David squinted his eyes and while enjoying Cui Yingying's massage, he comforted Polly who was watching with curiosity.

"I am fine."

"Oh.."

Polly picked up the milk cup and took a sip. Susan looked around and saw the way she hesitated to speak. After thinking about it, she asked David.

"Is it because of last night?"

"Huh?" David half-opened his eyes, looked at Susan and Polly, and curled his lips.

"You can definitely guess it, right?"

"Yeah~"

"After you came back last night, you locked yourself in the study..."

"We didn't know you came back last night until Cui Yingying went to the study this morning."

"..Feel sorry!"

David took two deep breaths, looked at Polly and whispered: "Last night, my tutor, my mentor, Professor Samuelson, and Grandpa David, we talked until midnight."

"I'm afraid of disturbing your rest when I come back, so I'll be in the study..."

"How long did you sleep last night?" Polly saw the fatigue on David's face just now and asked with concern.

"Um...about three hours."

"What? My face looks bad?"

"Of course!"

Polly took David's hand, bit her lip and said, "If it is something that is difficult for you to make a decision, you can put it aside first."

"Having a good rest will give you the energy to work better."

"Yeah!" David felt warm in his heart, shrugged and smiled.

"I won't do it anymore."

"And~"

"No matter how late you come back from now on, you can't hide in the study, you know?"

"The excuse of being afraid of disturbing our rest is simply too lame!"

"Are we afraid of being disturbed?"

"We are just afraid that you will stay out at night and secretly disturb others' rest!" Polly, as the "boss" of the family, declared her "sovereignty" with words.

"Hahaha~" Cui Yingying and Susan were both amused by her.

David grinned with a very wonderful expression. He felt very wronged and was about to say a few words of defense when he saw Polly suddenly come over and smell it with her nose, and asked with a sneer.

"Yesterday, did you go to see Zina again?"

"Huh? How do you know?" David asked in shock and surprise.

Polly pointed at his neck with her finger and sneered a little sinisterly: "She left a red mark on your neck again, didn't you feel it?"

"Forehead.."

David wiped his neck with his hand, quickly recalled the "blitz" with Zina in her store yesterday, and said with a wry smile.

"If you don't tell me, I really don't feel it..."

"Haha~"

"Every cat that steals fish knows how to wipe its mouth clean when it comes home, but you don't even..."

"Wow~ wow!"

"I must explain that we just met by chance..."

"she.."

"how is she?"

"Is she better than us..."

"No, no, no!" David saw Polly's eyes widening and quickly raised his hands in surrender.

"I was wrong!"

"If something like this happens again in the future, I will definitely call you as soon as possible!"

"I promise!"

"...Hmph!" The coldness in the corner of Polly's mouth slowly dissipated, she turned to look at Susan and said.

"see that?"

"This is the man!"

"No matter how many people there are at home..."

"W-Woo!"

David didn't want Polly to "lead her astray" to Susan, so he rushed forward and kissed her on the mouth, blinking at Susan constantly. .

When Susan saw the close interaction between the two of them that was similar to a "fight", she pouted and called Cui Yingying, turned around and ran away.

A few minutes later.

David felt a little short of breath and let go of Polly. Looking at the two beautiful red clouds on her face, he asked with a wicked smile.

"It's just us now, what do you want to ask?"

"Tell me~"

Polly glanced behind her, the blush on her face became even brighter, she rolled her eyes at David and asked in a low voice.

"I was still asleep when you came back last night."

"When I arrived at the door of the study, I saw you writing something?"

"Did something happen that made you...?"

"Haha~" David took Polly's hand, sat on Susan's chair, and explained after thinking for a while.

"The situation I'm encountering now is like... I got a good deck of cards in a gambling game, but I don't have the right to play first."

"I can only watch the cards played by other players, silently analyze their cards, adapt to circumstances and respond accordingly."

"So, you asked Kanes to sell his crude oil spot?"

"Did you hear something? Or...?" Polly asked with a serious expression.

David looked at the worry in her eyes and smiled: "In everything, there will be some unpredictable surprises and risks."

"When I was chatting with Grandpa David and Professor Samuelson yesterday, I did overhear some news that they might have released intentionally."

"This news is very important for the investment I have at hand!"

"Kanes' character makes him seem too gambling-minded, which is a very big variable and hidden danger for my plan."

"Then... how are you going to explain it to Kanes?"

"Just tell him that you are..."

"Okay~ I admit, I may be a little too nervous."

"Speculation turns into investment, and the gap in this aspect may make him feel very big."

"But the price of crude oil in the international market is not low now. If Carnes can sell this batch of spot goods as soon as possible, he will definitely make a small profit."

"There will be many opportunities in the future."

"Our cooperation has just begun."

"If he always pursues immediate interests and forgets the huge risks hidden behind them..."

"Then I must carefully consider whether to continue our cooperative relationship."

"..." After listening to David's somewhat "routine" explanation, Polly knew that he didn't want to talk about these things that she couldn't share or solve yet.

David also understood that his words basically meant nothing and could only be used as an excuse.

He changed to a more relaxed tone and said: "Do you remember the prank master Alan Abel who was chased and reported by the TV media a few years ago?"

"Alan Abell?"

"That's the one... who held two press conferences in a row and claimed that he had obtained key recording evidence of the Watergate incident?"

"Yes, that's him." David recalled the documentaries he saw on TV a few years ago and said with a sigh.

"Mr. Abel, who likes to use his secret identity to constantly make pranks, once specially submitted a carefully edited documentary "Fake President" to the TV station."

"In that film, he used a very absurd editing technique to piece together the audio and visual images of President Nixon, and severely mocked..."

"Haha~ I remembered it." Polly was reminded by David and recalled this very interesting thing.

“That documentary was later evaluated by the host of the TV station’s news column as: It would definitely make former President Richard Nixon furious, ‘Fake President’!”

"Hahaha~ That's right!"

David reached out and picked up a piece of apple from the plate, put it into Polly's mouth, and smiled.

"This Mr. Alan Abel has recently been carrying out another ridiculous plan."

"He announced in front of several media outlets that he was the director of a beggar school and could help more and more unemployed people earn at least 12 meters a day through begging."

"But just when Mr. Alan Abel received an invitation from the TV station, he claimed in the program that he could train beggar students in more effective begging skills so that they can get rid of unemployment."

"A gentleman who once worked for Nixon appeared on a live broadcast on the TV station and exposed the identity of the masked school principal. He also told in great detail what Alan Abel had done in the past twenty years. Something to fool the people..."

"For example: more than ten years ago, he asked a friend to hire a few extras and successfully met President Kennedy's wife Jacqueline near the presidential palace in Washington."

"When they met Jacqueline, they claimed that they were members of the X-ray Animal Association. They felt indignant and sad that Jacqueline, as the president's wife, ignored their feelings."

"So, they asked Jacqueline, the wife of the American president, to wear a pair of shorts on her horse that can cover the lower body."

"Hahaha~ I remember this news!"

"Before, no one had ever thought of the need to dress their pets..."

"Is it also...?"

"Hahaha~ Yes, it is also a prank planned by Alan Abel hiding behind the scenes."

David brushed Polly's hair with his hand, lightly tapped her apples with his fingertips, and said with a deep look.

"Alan Abell was able to pull off pranks time and time again that convinced people to believe him."

"He was not wrong."

"Those who believe his ridiculous claims are not wrong either."

“What’s wrong is the media who seek profit and attention, and those who prevent people from seeing the truth!”

"But I'm lucky."

"I picked the right people and got something I couldn't have..."

"No!" Polly saw David stop suddenly and immediately covered his mouth with her hand, shaking her head.

"Stop talking, I don't want to hear it either."

"Okay." David was very pleased with Polly's sober performance.

He kissed Polly gently and whispered in her ear: "Before I was seen by others and could not gain initial recognition with my advanced vision and theory~"

"No matter how talented I am, it's useless..."

"Talent is the most priceless thing in the world for an individual."

"Again, it's the cheapest."

David looked closely into Polly's eyes and murmured in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"People will blindly trust the boasts of successful people, but choose to ignore the good words of losers."

"I admit, I'm at a very delicate stage right now."

"If I can go a step further smoothly, then we won't have to be cautious in our development in the future."

"Then what if you...fail?" Polly asked with a solemn expression.

"Believe me!"

"Haha~" David pointed out the window and smiled.

"In this world, the person who can make me taste failure again has not been born yet!"

"Don't worry~"

"I will let you see more little by little~"

"More? Yes...what? Which aspect are you referring to?"

"Isn't it convenient for you to say it now?"

"Yeah!" David responded casually without explaining too much.

Polly nodded clearly, and said with a sigh of relief, she didn't ask any more questions about David's mysterious attitude.

"ok~when you need me..."

David smiled and nodded and continued: "I will definitely tell you!"
