When Li Mochen returned to the Unicorn Condominium from the Death Home Magic Tower, the Atlanta Police Department and the FBI were already waiting outside.
It was precisely because of the sudden visit that he had to end his lesson with Anthony Braden and return to the world of light.
It couldn't be helped. This time, both the police department and the FBI had sent out unusual personnel.
The Atlanta Police Department was represented by Lance Jeffrey, the "Chief Superintendent of Crime Control Strategy," while the FBI was represented by their head, Zooey Dowrington, the director of the Atlanta External Affairs Department.
Edmund Bederman, the special agent supervisor of the FBI's City Security Division, was nothing more than a small fry.
In addition, there was also Randall Khedira, the inspector of the North Police Department. He was one of the few friends Li Mochen had, which surprised him.
Two of the locations of the crimes were in the northeast corner of the city, and one was in the northern suburbs, neither of which was under the jurisdiction of the North Police Department.
Or did Lance Jeffrey know about the relationship between the two of them, so he specially brought him here?
After the two parties politely greeted each other and took their seats in the living room, the first to ask questions was Lance Jeffrey.
"Mr. Wildenstein, have you heard of it? Just half an hour ago, a mob broke into the Metro printing plant and set it on fire, burning down a large area of the plant there. Not long after, Mr. Mandivan Ferguson of Ferguson Media was sniped by many gunmen on the street, and his life was almost in danger. The cable room inside the Ferguson News Building was also destroyed. "
"I've heard of it."
Li Mochen nodded honestly. "It was such a big commotion, it was impossible not to notice it. To be honest, I'm a well-informed person in the City of Atlanta. This kind of thing can't be hidden from me. "
In fact, he had already learned the details of the situation not long after the incident.
"Of course, you're very resourceful. Blood Hand, Cardiff Group, Ferguson Media, in the past few months, the City of Atlanta has been surging because of you, Mr. Wildenstein. "
This person stood beside Zooey Dawrington. Not only was his voice sharp and unkind, his face was also full of ridicule, "How could you not know what you have done?"
Li Mochen narrowed his eyes and glanced at the man. Then, he casually leaned back and said, "Sorry? I don't quite understand what this gentleman means. Does the FBI think that I'm responsible for these two cases? Already treating me as a suspect? If that's the case, I'll have to wait for my lawyer to come before I can speak. "
The situation had changed. Even though the person in front of him was the head of the FBI's 24,000 employees in Atlanta, he did not intend to accommodate him too much.
In fact, if not for the identity of the visitor, Li Mochen would have waited until Harvey Specter or Mike Ross arrived before speaking.
"We don't have any evidence at the moment, but we all know the truth of the matter."
Zooey Dawrington, who had been scrutinizing Li Mochen with a hawk-like gaze, stopped his subordinate from speaking.
"Mr. Wildenstein, I think the first thing you need to understand is that it's not that we can't send you in, it's just a matter of determination."
"Is that so?"
Li Mochen chuckled. "Isn't this a society governed by law? Everything depends on evidence, Supervisor Dawrington. I forgot to mention, there are video recordings here. "
As Li Mochen spoke, he deliberately pointed to the recording equipment placed in the corner.
He would not be so easily frightened by the other party. If it had been a few months ago, Li Mochen might have been a little worried.
After all, the FBI's notoriety decades ago was well known. They could fabricate evidence even without evidence, and created many unjust cases.
But now, as a person of high social status and widespread popularity, how could he be sent to prison by the FBI so easily?
He might have dared to do so, but the firm of Pearson, Darby, Spector and Ms. Nannette Drew, whom he had long employed, were no slouches, either.
"Supervisor Dawrington means that if we need evidence, we can definitely get it. Mr. Wildenstein, are you sure you're foolproof?"
Lance Jeffrey interrupted with a smile, easing the atmosphere. "This is a private visit, there's no need to be so nervous. Can you turn off the recording equipment? I don't think either of us wants the contents of this conversation to be leaked? "
"If that's the case, I can accept it."
Li Mochen readily waved his hand, and his maid, Isadora Weeks, turned off the video recorder in the corner.
At this moment, the light in Zooey Dawrington's eyes was still as cold as a knife. "Let's make it public, okay? Mr. Wildenstein, since September, you've created too much chaos, far more than we can tolerate. You're making an enemy of the 74,000 police officers of the City of Atlanta and the 24,000 agents of the FBI. "
"Both of you!"
Li Mochen laughed. "First of all, please allow me to emphasize that I've always adhered to the principle of 'if people don't offend me, I won't offend them', and I've never changed that. Perhaps some of the recent small troubles in the City of Atlanta are because of me, but the source is not me. I think both of you can agree on this point? "
Zooey Dawrington was silent, while Lance Jeffrey rubbed his bald head with his hand. "I can understand. A rising upstart like you, Mr. Wildenstein, inevitably has to take a trip through thorns and guns. The problem is, your methods are too radical. A chairman of a media company was assassinated in public, and an entire computer room of the TV station was destroyed. Do you know how much pressure we're under? "
"If people don't offend me, I won't offend them."
Li Mochen responded with a smile. He saw that there was still dissatisfaction on the faces of the two, so he said with a smile, "Of course I'm willing to abide by the law. Let me reveal another piece of news. I've submitted an application to join the magic tower committee and received the recommendation of seven city councilors. Next, as long as the city council can approve it, I can become an honorable first-class member of the Atlanta magic tower committee. "
So the two opposite him couldn't help but look slightly relieved. They knew that this was a statement, and there would be no more action out of line.
Even if there was, as a first-class member of the magic tower committee, Li Mochen could solve the war in other ways, and would no longer be exposed to the public's eyes.
"Have you already received the recommendation? I don't know anything at all. Of course, Mr. Wildenstein's strength is obvious to all. If even you can't enter the magic tower committee, who else is qualified? "
Lance Jeffrey laughed, but he was only halfway through his words when Li Mochen's expression changed slightly and he kicked his sofa fiercely. The chief inspector of crime control strategy was confused at first, and then the head of an attendant next to him exploded.
It wasn't until then that the sound of glass shattering to the ground reached everyone's ears. The remaining force of the bullet was not exhausted, and it smashed a huge crater on the ground not far away.
Lance Jeffrey hurriedly looked for cover with a horrified expression, while Li Mochen also turned over and fled behind a pillar like a bolt of lightning. In the next instant, the ground not far from him was also blasted open by a bullet, causing gravel to splatter everywhere.
