Chapter 158 Tracking Investments

"Lucia was originally in room 1022 that night, but for some unknown reason ended up in room 1072."

"Who lives in room 1072? What's his name?"

The Lucia that the hotel duty manager Catlin mentioned was the woman who died in Jiang Yuanzhou's room.

At this time, Trina replied expressionlessly: "I only know that others call him Big Mark. But I don't know where he is from."

"Where is he now?"

"I don't know. Since what happened that day, Big Mark has never been to the hotel again."

"Where can I find him?"

Katrin named several names.

Jiang Sheng immediately left the hotel and prepared to find the people mentioned by Catlin to track down the whereabouts of Big Mark.

In fact, if Jiang Yuanzhou was not injured, he would take him home directly from prison.

His foot was like a discharged cannonball, hitting hard. Under the terrifying force, the killer flew out sideways and hit another killer who had just got out of the car.

"From getting off the plane, to breaking into the prison, to taking people out of the prison, no one followed me. This means that the people behind the scenes are not Philippine officials. Otherwise, they will definitely design a more elaborate trap waiting for me. …”

But now if he doesn't investigate this matter clearly, he will have no shame in going back.

"do not know."

Can you imagine how terrifying the power of LV3's hypnosis is?

The two killers in the back seat of the car reacted very quickly. After discovering that the driver was caught, they immediately turned their guns and shot without hesitation.

Jiang Sheng didn't even bother to hide. He waved his right hand twice, as if to ward off flies, and directly swept the bullets aside.

The two killers thought of many things in their brains instantly, but it was already too late.

Because at first he told Sun Manshu that he could be released on bail, but within three minutes he was slapped in the face - he could not be released on bail.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Sheng's brain immediately raced at high speed.

Before they could react, Jiang Sheng inserted his right hand into the iron sheet of the rear door, then put his five fingers together and tore the door off forcefully, and then kicked one of the killers on the left shoulder. superior.

"After I got off the plane, I went straight to the prison. Then I took Jiang Yuanzhou out of the prison and went to a private hospital. Then I came directly to the hotel. I didn't feel that I was being followed during this period."

Didn't Party A say that the target person was so terrifying?

"Puff puff--"

Now his five senses have become extremely sharp. He can feel it as long as he glances at him within two to three hundred meters. He soon discovered that the voyeuristic feeling came from a black Lincoln SUV.

Stop a bullet with your bare hands?

And shoot the bullet away?

What kind of magical figure is this?

Especially for the killer who directly suffered Jiang Sheng's kick, his left shoulder was not only dented, but also the side of his abdominal cavity was strongly squeezed. He vomited two mouthfuls of blood and rolled his eyes before he died.

"They know very well that I have a good personal relationship with Jiang Yuanzhou. If something happens to Jiang Yuanzhou, I will definitely come forward and kill him."

"Hey, where is that person?"

Jiang Sheng's mind suddenly thought of many, many questions.

"Iron Hands" penetrated the tempered glass and grabbed the driver, forcefully pulling him out of the driving seat.

The driver was a burly man with a height of 250 meters and a weight of pounds. When his body was pulled out of the broken window, his face, arms, thighs, etc. were scratched with several bloody marks from the broken tempered glass, and he was dripping with blood. ,shocking.

Jiang Sheng took advantage of the driver's panic and seized his mind with one look, controlling his thoughts.

The flying bullets penetrated the rearview mirror and the window glass of another car.

Just as the two killers in the back seat of the car were about to get out of the car to look for Jiang Sheng, a hand suddenly stuck out of the driver's seat glass.

Of course, although he looked very cool, in fact his speed did not exceed the bullets coming out of the barrel. The reason why he was able to deflect the bullets was entirely because he saw the movements of the two killers clearly and accurately predicted them in advance.

The left and right sides of the face were slapped wildly.

Then he promised Sun Manshu that he would bring Jiang Yuanzhou back alive and kicking, but he was slapped in the face again - Jiang Yuanzhou was seriously injured and most likely disfigured.

As soon as Jiang Sheng came out of the hotel, he immediately felt someone peering at him from a distance.

Now his physique, strength, and agility have all reached an astonishing 20 points, and the distance of a lateral movement can even reach an astonishing 15 meters or more.

With strong eyesight, he looked through Lincoln's black privacy film and saw three sturdy men sitting in the car, one of whom was installing a muffler.

"But these people are precisely waiting at the hotel entrance. Why is this? Could it be that they have already expected that I will come to the hotel to investigate?"

Several bullets were fired at Jiang Sheng.

But his steps were not slow, and he disappeared from the spot with just one step.

Jiang Sheng walked to the driver's side and asked straight to the point: "Who sent you here to kill me?"

The people inside the Lincoln SUV were shocked when they saw Jiang Sheng suddenly disappearing.

"Quick, get out of the car and look around..."

Although he is very strong in his heart now and does not care much about other people's opinions, but he has broken his trust with a woman two times and three times, which makes him a little unbearable.

But his move made the two killers dumbfounded.

"Then the fact that Jiang Yuanzhou was framed was not an accident, but someone deliberately framed him in order to lure me over."

Another killer was also hit to the ground by the terrifying force of the impact. His bones and tendons were broken, and he fell into coma under the violent impact.

The driver said the name of an intermediary.

And this person is surprisingly the "Big Mark" in the mouth of the hotel duty manager Katrin.

"Big Mark, I want to see who you really are?"

Jiang Sheng pointed out the driver and then went to find the big mark.

……

Manila is a very strange city in Asia. If you have to say which city in the world is most like Manila, it would be Rio de Janeiro.

Standing in the center of Manila city, you can see Manila Bay in the Western Pacific to the west and Manila Lake to the southeast.

Looking over the city, you can immediately feel that this is a "city with extremely different levels of development."

The left area of ​​Metro Manila is the villa area for wealthy people, which are basically single-family homes. The garden area of ​​each home may reach more than 500 square meters.

In the upper right corner of the entire wealthy area is an eighteen-par golf course.

The area in the middle of Metro Manila is the BGC of Manila's three major CBDs. Its prosperity is comparable to the CBDs of any first- and second-tier cities in China, and most of the Philippine headquarters of overseas companies are located here.

The Philippine headquarters in Warwick alone has thousands of civilian personnel in this area.

Moreover, most of the world's top 500 companies often place their service outsourcing centers in the Philippines in order to save costs, and this is the best choice for their foothold.

Because of this, this has also led to the rampant electronic fraud in the Philippines. From time to time, there are news reports in China that some people have been defrauded of electronic fraud companies in the Philippines.

In the rightmost area of ​​Metro Manila, at least one-third of the people living here do not have clean drinking water or decent housing, and the per capita living cost is less than one dollar per day.

This is a complete slum, accounting for about 40% of the city's area.

In Manila, from high modern affluence to extreme poverty and backwardness, the geographical boundary may be just a river or a street, and it may only take a few hundred meters to walk from heaven to hell.

Based on the information provided by the hotel duty manager Katrin, Jiang Sheng found the area where Big Mark was found, which is located in the Divinov District southwest of Manila.

Divinov District is the representative area from heaven to hell.

On one side, there are many high-rise buildings and countless entertainment venues, with handsome men and beautiful women, feasting and feasting, and it is extremely prosperous. On the other side, people live with garbage and make a living by picking up garbage. Many people squat next to the garbage cans in restaurants to pick up leftovers from customers. Eating out food leftovers and surviving in conditions of extreme poverty.

Jiang Sheng found Big Mark, a typical Filipino man in his fifties, who was placing bets in an underground casino in the Divinov District.

He has a brown face, short stature, dark skin, big thick lips, and a mustache.

A guy who is obviously short in stature, but likes to give himself the nickname "Big Mark".

Focus on a contrast.

Under hypnosis, Big Mark talked about the cause and effect of the incident without any hesitation.

"It was Ignatz who killed Lucia. He stabbed Lucia in the abdomen with a dagger, and then forced her to knock on the door of room 1072, otherwise he would kill her. As a result, Ignatz failed to control his strength. The dagger pierced her spleen, causing hemorrhage and death."

"Who is Ignatz?"

"He is Daniel's subordinate. Daniel is the boss of the Black Wolf Gang, the largest gang in the Divinov District. He controls the drug trafficking network here, and also runs boxing rings, casinos, brothels, etc."

Jiang Sheng couldn't help but be surprised when he heard what Big Mark said, and asked very puzzledly: "Then what role did you play in the middle? Also, were you the ones who sent the three killers tonight?"

What he never expected was that when he asked this question, Big Mark showed great resistance. He held his head in his hands and thought hard and said: "I...I can't remember..."

"Huh? What's going on?"

Seeing Big Mark's appearance and hearing his words, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but look surprised.

Ever since he learned hypnosis in Japan and upgraded to LV3, he has been invincible until now. No one can hide their true inner thoughts under the control of hypnosis.

But Big Mark obviously knew the inside story, but he couldn't tell it.

He secretly thought: "Could it be that Big Mark was also hypnotized?"

It is said that in order to prevent agents from being brainwashed and incited to rebel by enemy countries, many countries use hypnosis and psychotropic drugs to build a "mental wall" for agents, but usually there is no problem.

But as long as the agent asks about relevant content under hypnosis, the agent's mental defense mechanism will be triggered and nothing will be revealed.

Some agents are even fed false intelligence by hypnotists, leading to wrong judgments and costly consequences.

Jiang Sheng then experimented a few more times, gleaning information from the side, but Big Mark still couldn't remember it.

"I didn't expect that even with my LV3 hypnosis skills, I couldn't break through his mental wall. Even with the help of drugs, this hypnotist is definitely a master."

"But this big Mark is completely cannon fodder and a scapegoat. Once the Philippine police investigate, he will be the scapegoat. As for Ignatz, he is the second firewall. Even the boss of the Hey Gang may be part of the conspiracy. .”

"The man behind the scenes has set up three firewalls, and in order to prevent Big Mark from leaking the secret after being caught, he also built a mental wall for him. Obviously, the man behind the scenes knows me very well, and even knows that I am good at mental control."

"This is very powerful, definitely not an ordinary person."

"It seems that Ignatz can only be used as a breakthrough."

Jiang Sheng then asked a few more questions, and after making sure that nothing was missing, he said to Big Mark: "Go to the police station and surrender now, and tell the police the ins and outs of the matter."

Then he went to find Ignatz.

He found Ignatz easily, and the other party also confessed that he was ordered by his boss to frame Jiang Yuanzhou, and accidentally killed the young lady Lucia.

Jiang Sheng found his boss Daniel again, a man in his forties with a strong build and a sinister face.

When he saw his subordinates bringing strangers to the office without his permission, Daniel immediately realized something was wrong. Daniel was born in a slum and has been on the verge of death since he was 7 years old. Over the decades, he has developed poor reflexes. After saying a few words, he immediately raised his hand to touch the gun on his lower back and pointed it at Jiang. Sheng and his bodyguard fired several shots.

Ignatz was killed instantly.

As for Jiang Sheng, he came to him instantly, grabbed his hand, and squeezed hard.

You know, the static strength of his fingers now reaches an astonishing level of more than 6 tons.

Under the terrifying force, Daniel's finger bones were instantly crushed, blood flowed out, and even the gun body was crushed.

"what……"

Daniel let out a heart-rending scream.

Jiang Sheng asked: "Who asked you to frame Jiang Yuanzhou? Why?"

……

Solaire, one of the four major casinos in Manila, is located in Makati District and is a very famous luxury casino hotel.

Considered one of the largest casinos in Asia, it is also a landmark in the Makati region, offering a variety of slot machines and table games, as well as gourmet restaurants and bars from around the world.

In addition to gambling facilities, it also includes a shopping mall, a movie theater and multiple performing arts spaces.

Security at the Solaire Casino was so strict that it was said to have been called the "Great Prison of the East" for its harsh management.

But in fact, Solaire Casino is protected by the local government and the army, and it is inextricably linked.

At this time, in the super VIP gambling room on the 5th floor of the Solaire Casino Hotel, seven or eight gamblers from all over the world were playing cards. In front of them were piles of chips with face values ​​of 10, 100, or even million. But As you can imagine, this is another big gamble.

Various high-definition monitors around you closely monitor from all angles to prevent anyone from cheating.

The reputation of a place like a casino is very important. Someone once asked on the Internet, can I take away a hundred million won in a casino?

One of the high praisers replied: "Not only can you take it away, the casino will also send security personnel to take you home safely. During this period, they will beat gongs and drums and publicize it, for fear that others will not know that you won 100 million. The casino is not afraid of you winning money at all. They I’m afraid you won’t go, because at the end of the day the casino makes some money, and the more you win, the happier they are.”

Therefore, if there is cheating in a casino, especially in high-end games, once a scandal is revealed, the credibility of the casino will basically be declared bankrupt.

At this time, a handsome mixed-race young man in his thirties, wearing a suit, was sitting in the southeast corner, constantly adding bets to the chips in front of him.

The croupier then said: "Mr. Liang is talking to 100 million, my next family..."

At this moment, the bodyguard standing behind "Mr. Liang" pressed the headset and said a few words, then leaned over and whispered a few words in the mixed-race young man's ear.

The mixed-race young man frowned.

Soon the dealer said: "Mr. Liang, speak."

The mixed-race young man picked up the cards and looked at them, then threw them away and said, "You guys play, I have something to do, I will come over later."

As he said that, he got up and took his bodyguard to the next room.

The bodyguard immediately said: "That person has gone to the Divinov District, and..."

The mixed-race young man asked: "And what?"

The bodyguard said solemnly: "According to the video surveillance at the hotel entrance, he pulled off the rear door of the Lincoln with his bare hands. This is a copied live video."

The mixed-race young man watched the video carefully. Due to the angle, the previous scene of Jiang Sheng knocking off the bullet was not captured. Only the scene of inserting his palm into the car door and then pulling it open was captured.

But even so, it is very amazing, full of wild and violent aesthetics.

The mixed-race young man had a look of shock on his face, "This..."

"Boss, this person is extremely dangerous and we cannot afford to offend him. You'd better leave Manila as soon as possible." The bodyguard gave his professional advice.

But it was okay if the bodyguard didn't say anything. But the mixed-race young man was very unconvinced by this and said coldly: "Humph, what are you afraid of! There is no way he can find us, don't worry."

After saying that, the mixed-race young man got up and went back to the casino to continue gambling.

……

And when Jiang Sheng went to the Philippines, Luo Jiajun, who was in China Overseas, was invited to attend an investor meeting reception.

As early as a few months ago, Luo Jiajun became a well-known figure in the domestic investment circle. In a short period of time, he invested in dozens of projects, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars.

Hundreds of millions of dollars is considered a large sum of money in today's poor investment market environment, and many people are eyeing the money in her hands.

Moreover, it is rumored that Luo Jiajun's investment depends entirely on his mood. If he is in a good mood, he can invest hundreds or even tens of millions of dollars with just a few words. But if he is in a bad mood, no matter how much he talks, he will still get nothing.

"Hello, Miss Luo, nice to meet you."

"Mr. Luo, I am the CEO of Lekang Biotechnology. We met last time in Kyoto."

"Hi! Jiajun, long time no see~! Last time you went to London, I wanted to catch up with you, but my husband was busy meeting investors, so it was delayed. Don't be angry..."

As an investor's mother, Luo Jiajun was not unexpectedly welcomed by all the guests.

Including other investors.

After all, Luo Jiajun is as beautiful as a flower, has a good figure, and has a noble and elegant temperament.

The key is that she doesn't have the arrogance that is typical of ordinary investors and is very approachable. This kind of woman is simply a man's dream girl.

At this time, in the corner, two young men wearing thick spectacle frames were competing with each other as they looked at Luo Jiajun, who was shining brightly in the crowd.

"You go, you go."

"Oh, you go, I won't go."

"Well, rock, paper, scissors, whoever loses gets to go."

"it is good!"

The two men came to the window, turned their backs to the other attendees, and started guessing.

As a result, the taller young man among them lost the guess, so he could only walk towards Luo Jiajun with the wine glass in hand.

At this time, Luo Jiajun was chatting with a college classmate. Her husband, a college classmate, was a company owner and was once worth hundreds of millions. At that time, Luo Jiajun was just a returnee who had just resigned from a financial company in the United States and returned to China to start a business.

Luo Jiajun failed to make an appointment for dinner several times.

He even flew to London to meet this female classmate and wanted to have a relationship, but he was let go.

Times have changed, and now this female classmate's husband's company has gone bankrupt, and she has become a person subject to execution for breach of trust. The couple calls her every day, asking her to invest.

In fact, it is basically a leather bag company. I don’t know whether the so-called project was downloaded from the Internet or compiled by some third-rate Internet writer.

Just when Luo Jiajun was feeling troubled, he heard a "sound of nature".

A young man wearing thick glasses with beer bottle bottoms took advantage of her classmate's break to say hello shyly: "Hello, Mr. Luo, I...I am Li Guanyu, um...nice to meet you."

Luo Jiajun quickly smiled and said: "Hello!"

Then she turned to her classmate and her husband and said, "I'm going to talk to my friend about something, and you guys should be busy first. As for the investment, you can send the project book to my mailbox later, and I'll take the time to read it."

"Okay, okay, Jiajun, you are busy."

Luo Jiajun turned around and walked aside with Li Guanyu.

Of course, her every move attracted everyone's attention, including what she just said that Li Guanyu was her "friend", and everyone else heard it.

Many people have asked, who is this Li Guanyu?

Luo Jiajun asked with a smile: "Are you also planning to start a business? What category?"

Facing the unparalleled Luo Jiajun, Li Guanyu's heart beat faster, and he stammered with a red face: "That... is not about starting a business, but about the research and development of technology for inserting large fragments of DNA."

Because Jiang Sheng cares very much about biotechnology, Luo Jiajun naturally has a good understanding of cutting-edge biological technologies.

"I know about large-fragment DNA insertion technology. Late last year, regulators in Canada and China approved the first CRISPR-based gene-editing therapies for sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia, right?"

When it comes to technology, Li Guanyu's stuttering symptoms miraculously disappeared, and he said: "This is indeed a major victory for genome editing as a clinical tool."

"CRISPR and its derivatives use short, programmable RNAs to guide DNA-cutting enzymes such as Cas9 to specific genomic sites. In the laboratory, they are often used to disable defective genes and introduce small sequence changes."

"Precisely and programmably inserting large stretches of DNA sequences spanning thousands of nucleotides is difficult, but emerging solutions can replace critical segments of defective genes or insert fully functional gene sequences..."

Luo Jiajun only understands the cutting-edge technologies of biotechnology, but he is far from proficient in them, let alone these esoteric and difficult-to-pronounce professional terms.

So when Li Guanyu was talking endlessly, she politely interrupted and said: "Sorry, Mr. Li, can you tell me the direction of your research?"

Li Guanyu said with some unfinished thoughts: "We are exploring the application of CRISPR-Cas9 technology in the treatment of myopia."

"By targeted editing of target genes, such as those related to axial length and diopter adjustment, by precisely modifying these genes, the morphology and adjustment ability of the eyeball can be changed, thereby correcting myopia."

"Oh?"

When Luo Jiajun heard this, he immediately became interested and said, "Tell me about it in detail."

Li Guanyu said: "This research group was founded by my classmate Cong. He has a PhD in biology from Yenching University. Can you let him come over and explain it in detail to Mr. Luo?"

"Okay, where are your classmates?"

"Just over there..."

Soon Li Guanyu’s doctoral classmate Lin Tianrui came over.

"Hello Dr. Lin, nice to meet you."

"Hello, Mr. Luo, you are too polite..."

Lin Tianrui, like Li Guanyu, is the kind of technology nerd who blushes when he sees the beautiful boss, and talks about technology without any distractions.

After listening to this, Luo Jiajun asked: "How much does it cost?"

Finally, when it came to money, Lin Tianrui immediately became silent. He was a little embarrassed to say it. He glanced at Li Guanyu and motioned for him to speak.

Li Guanyu said with some anxiety: "Mr. Luo, you should know that the sterile conditions in the cell laboratory are the highest, and the instruments are also very expensive. Better instruments cost millions. Plus the sterile laboratory, at least ...It takes 1000 million.”

Luo Jiajun pondered and said: "1000 million U.S. dollars is too little! If this technology can really be researched, it will be of great benefit, so you can go ahead and research it. I will give you 3000 million U.S. dollars first. If it is not enough, I will add more later."

Li Guanyu: "..."

He said RMB, not US dollars.

Soon, everyone at the reception knew that Luo Jiajun decided to invest 30 million US dollars in just a few words without even looking at the project plan. The eyes of the entrepreneurs who came to seek investment were all red with envy.

And Luo Jiajun was in a very good mood.

Just as she was about to call Jiang Sheng and talk to him, her assistant Zhao Lin hurried over and whispered something in her ear.

Luo Jiajun's expression suddenly changed and then returned to normal.

He said hello to the organizer of the reception and then left in a hurry.
