The news of Frederick's tragic death in front of the hotel quickly spread throughout New York. Even if everyone knew that it was Courtney who killed him, and even if everyone knew that he offended Baldwin for some reason, no one dared to touch the Baldwin Group's people.
The spread of such incidents often exceeded people's expectations.
Even the meat shield, an outsider from New York, learned the news in a short time.
The meat shield was shocked when he heard the news. The hotel he was staying in now was arranged by Frederick!
Thinking of this, the meat shield quickly got up and left this place. In fact, he knew very well who was behind this.
It was just that the meat shield didn't expect Baldwin's people to act so quickly. They didn't give him any time to react.
This made the meat shield break out in a cold sweat. An hour later, when the meat shield found another place to settle down, he finally calmed down.
After the meat shield came to New York, Frederick was not the only one he contacted. He also contacted other people who made a living in this bowl. It was estimated that those people had also received the news of Frederick's death at this time.
The meat shield just took a sip of water when he received a call from Ferrero.
Ferrero's status in the New York underworld can be regarded as an aristocratic family. He was quite powerful, so he had the most comprehensive information.
When the meat shield picked up the phone, Ferrero spoke straightforwardly, "Meat shield, it's me. I'm afraid there's no possibility of continuing the cooperation we talked about before. I think you should be able to guess the reason, right?"
The meat shield froze for a moment. He didn't expect Ferrero to speak so directly, "Mr. Ferrero, is it because of Frederick's death?"
"Yes." Ferrero said bluntly, "Frederick's death is not strange. I believe you and I both know the reason."
The meat shield swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stopped talking.
"When you contacted me before, I did have doubts. I also thought about why you came to us. With such a large sum of money, it's most convenient to find Baldwin … It seems that I didn't think too much. You were originally Baldwin's collaborators. As for why you looked for other partners, I don't know. But as a friend, I want to warn and remind you that Mr. Baldwin is not a person who will easily give up his interests."
The meat shield listened without saying a word.
In fact, Ferrero was not a friend. He said this because of some other concerns.
"I respect Mr. Baldwin very much. We have cooperated in some areas and shared interests." Ferrero continued, "So I can't intervene in his affairs. That's against the rules."
"I understand what you mean." The meat shield nodded.
"If there is a chance in the future, we will definitely cooperate. But this time, hehehe, we all understand. There are some things that we can't change. "Ferrero hung up the phone after he finished speaking, leaving behind a depressed human shield.
The tank didn't expect them to be so passive.
At first, he thought that the temptation of such a large sum of money would make Baldwin unable to resist bowing to them. The tank also thought that he would gain status and recognition in New York because of this.
After all, in New York, as long as one had Baldwin's approval, others would give them face.
No one would provoke someone who had a good relationship with Baldwin. This way, it would be easy for the meat shield to survive in New York. Even if he left Carlos in the future, he would still be able to survive here. This was a good thing for the meat shield.
However, such a good thing that could only bring benefits and no harm had suddenly turned into a bad thing.
Now, the tank was like a hot yam for the New York mafia.
It could be seen from Ferrero's attitude that anyone who was in contact with the tank could become a potential target of the Baldwin Group.
Courtney was also a vicious and merciless person. When he killed someone, he never thought about anything else!
Even Frederick, who was more or less a boss, did not have the slightest scruple when he killed someone.
The tank thought about his list. There were still two people who had been in contact with him. He didn't know what their situation was now … If possible, even if it was only one person in the end, it would be good.
However, bad news came one after another at this moment. It was as if a faucet had been opened.
What the tank didn't expect was that in such a short time, he received the death message of a second person! This time, the guy who died only had a few phone calls with him to discuss this matter. After the tank came to New York, he only had a phone call with him. They didn't even agree on a time to meet!
Baldwin's power made the tank start to feel a little scared.
He was afraid that Mr. Baldwin would be angry at him for contacting the other people. When that happened, the trouble might fall on him.
The tank had heard of Courtney's skills. He was very powerful. Although the tank was confident in himself, he didn't want to take risks in New York. He was not familiar with this city. He was a person who mingled on the West Coast. When he came to the East Coast, he could only be regarded as a newcomer.
Let's put it this way. Even if the tank could kill Courtney, it would be impossible for him to escape New York.
So, once the tank provoked them, no matter what the result was, he wouldn't have a good ending.
The phone rang again. The tank was shocked. When he saw that the caller was Hu Ada, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Hu Ada was Chinese. The Hu family in New York was considered an old Chinese.
Otherwise, as a Chinese, the Hu family wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in New York. Hu Ada was the only Chinese he contacted this time. He was also one of the more powerful Chinese people in New York.
It was just that in many people's eyes, Old Hu used to have a lot of influence in New York. However, a month ago, Old Hu died of cancer. Everything was left to Hu Ada.
Because the Hu family was Chinese, Hu Ada was deliberately trained by his father, Old Hu, since he was young. He even found a very powerful beginner master to practice Hua Xia Kung Fu.
So, Hu Ada was different from his younger brother and sister. He was a person who admired martial arts and had a certain level of strength.
Another point was that Hu Ada was very conceited. He was even more conceited than Old Hu!
Hu Ada had a saying: When my father gained a foothold in New York, Hua Xia hadn't yet gained a foothold in the world! Now, Hua Xia has already gained a foothold in the world. It is a country with status and identity! I, Hu Ada, naturally have a more stable foothold in New York than my father!
Although he had already received an American ID card, Hu Ada still maintained a Hua Xia heart. This passion was really touching.
The meat shield picked up Hu Ada's phone and asked carefully, "Mr. Hu, are you looking for me to talk about cooperation …"
"Meat shield, I think we need to talk about this issue as soon as possible." Hu Ada said, "I believe you didn't just look for me. You also looked for other people, right?"
The meat shield didn't answer.
Hu Ada continued, "Two people died in New York today. As far as I know, these two people were involved in money laundering business. I also learned that the person who wanted their lives was the same person. I don't need to say who it is. We all know."
"Mr. Hu, I know your concerns." The meat shield explained, "But …"
"I don't have any concerns. You misunderstood me." Hu Ada said, "I don't need you to explain this matter. From what I know, I can basically infer the reason. I also know that I am involved in this matter."
The meat shield felt like a fishbone was stuck in his throat. He didn't know what to say.
"Now, let's meet somewhere." Hu Ada said, "In New York, everyone is afraid of Mr. Baldwin. But I am not afraid of him. I, Hu Ada, do things by the rules! I believe that Mr. Baldwin will also follow the rules to me! If he doesn't follow the rules, then I won't follow the rules either. If everyone doesn't follow the rules, New York will be in chaos. "
The meat shield was stunned. Hu Ada's words were too arrogant. He didn't want to give Baldwin any face at all.
"You don't have anything to worry about, meat shield. Come to our Hu family's Chinese restaurant in New York. It is the most famous Chinese restaurant in Manhattan. You don't need to ask around to know." Hu Ada said, "I will treat you to a meal. Let's meet and talk!"
"But …"
"No buts. Even Baldwin won't act rashly in my restaurant. Moreover, Courtney is just Mr. Baldwin's dog!" Hu Ada's words were bold.
