Chapter 99 (1/2)

Since the family attorney wasn't very familiar with American laws, Huang Xuan called up Annabelle, the only American lawyer he knew.

At the moment, Huang Xuan was a little nervous. He was wondering why Bruce came to him. Did he think the money was illegal? His a.s.sets increased many fold in a short period of time. If they wanted to track it down, how many countries would get involved? China, Brazil, the USA, Switzerland, j.a.pan and Greece.

Artwork? Even if the FBI had come today, they wouldn't have had enough time to collect enough evidence to convict him, let alone the one and only one agent at the door.

Most likely, Bruce just wanted to have a look at the formula. The FBI didn't have the right to arrest him, whether they had evidence or not. If they wanted to use violence, they had to be more powerful than the base. Thinking to this point, Huang Xuan shook his head, thinking about this is too late now, both sides have pulled out their guns already. Even if the FBI didn't have any interest in him before, they probably have some now.

Annabelle was taking care of the issue of the mortgage in China. ”Boss, don't worry. The FBI will watch every foreigner that comes to America. In their eyes, everybody is suspicious, except their director, even the president. Don't fire. If you know someone important, call him or her. The FBI won't act indiscreetly,” she told Huang Xuan over the phone.

”Anna, I need a lawyer right now. Can you find me one?”

”Good idea. Boss, I will contact the law firm. They will take care of it.”

”OK.” Huang Xuan was relieved. He walked out of the room. Steele had come with two directors of the board, who looked very serious.

”Bruce, what's the matter?” Steele seemed to know him.

”I want to have a look at the paper in this man's hand,” Bruce answered with a.s.surance.

Huang Xuan nodded to Steele and asked Bruce, ”What makes you think you have the right without my permission?”

Steele smiled at Huang Xuan apologetically. ”Mr. Ned, who gave you the order? How dare you point the gun to my guest?” he said to Bruce grimly.

”I suspect-”

”Just a suspicion?” Steele interrupted him.

Bruce was speechless. He had been so anxious to jump at the opportunity to take credit and get promoted that he had only heard part of the conversation between Ginger and the director Pierce before he had rushed here.

”You're still not putting your gun down?” one of the two directors asked loudly.

In American politics, politicians and businessmen were closely connected. Many bankers and the people with conglomerates became politicians. Eisenhower had loved to socialize with industrial barons. His cabinet had been said to be composed of eight millionaires and one plumber. His Secretary of Defence, Secretary of Postal Department, Secretary of the Interior had all come from GM. Senior Bush had also appreciated businessmen while Clinton had liked scholars and Junior Bush politicians who could help him win the election.

It was very clear to Bruce that Steele and the two directors had connections with White House and they were on an equal footing with the FBI. ”It might be just a misunderstanding,” he put down his gun and said.

”Go back to your work.” Then Steele smiled at Huang Xuan and said, ”Mr. Huang, I am very sorry.”

Huang Xuan accepted his apology. Bruce stood at the other end of the hallway rubbing his neck. Isaac was much taller than him, and staring at him for too long caused his neck to be very sore.

”Bruce called his superior Clay. I think they are investigating you right now,” Rolin told Huang Xuan as soon as he entered the lab.

”Let them.” Huang Xuan didn't care at all. It was not so easy to break the Huang Family Funds. He had had Rolin make sure that all the gemstones were unquestionable before they had brought them back. Plus, it would be impossible to explain billions of dollars non-operation a.s.sets orally.

”Let's go on. Since the apparatus here can't can't reach the purity of 99.99999%, can you do it with energy?”

”It will consume a lot of energy...”

”We won't be able to use the equipment after a while and we will have to do everything with energy.” Then Huang Xuan asked Ross to come closer and said, ”Give me the super purity medicine.”

Ross went to get it. He didn't want to stay at that dangerous place for one more minute. Peter didn't dare to leave. He stayed there to correct Huang Xuan's wrong operations. Issac stomped in and said in awkward English, ”Boss, I am sorry-”

”Not at all. You did a good job. Tell your boss that I will pay twice what we agreed on. Now, watch the lab.”

”Then I will ask someone else to help,” Issac replied honestly and started to dial.

Israel had been in war for such a long time that Israeli mercenaries were all over the world. IZO was its best-known mercenary import organization, which was very popular in the Philippines, America and West Africa. Some magnates even owned their private army trained by IZO. Helicopters could be heard two hours after Issac's phone call. When the reinforcements reached the lab, eight people were already there.

Rolin a.s.signed the tasks efficiently. Manual labor and duplicated labor were a.s.signed to the people with Peter. He instructed Huang Xuan in the operation. Making medicine in itself was complicated, but making lab medicine of small amount was simple.

Generally speaking, the ingredients of medicine were less than five kinds. Otherwise, the pharmaceutical company would need to list at least three of the active ingredients and the connection between them. Therefore, even a big pharmaceutical company like Pfizer wouldn't be able to afford the research and development cost of a medicine made from over 10 ingredients. On the other hand, to make the drug itself with a dozen ingredients is simple.

It was getting dark. Noise was heard outside. A bodyguard approached the door with his hand on the gun, but the door was knocked open.

The rubber material around the lock popped off and flew toward Huang Xuan. Rolin stopped it with energy, but one extra drop of the drug in the dropper dropped. Even Huang Xuan knew that right now the whole bottle of drug must be thrown out and he needed to restart.

Seeing that his hard work for the past half an hour was wasted, Huang Xuan was furious. He raised his head. At this moment, Clay, the captain of FBI Connecticut, that is, Bruce's Boss, walked in. Connecticut is traditionally the FBI's territory. Finding out that a Chinese rich young man whose monthly income was over 100 million had arrived, he thought his opportunity of promotion had come.

Bruce was at the end of the group, trying to avoid being seen. A fat guy in the front had pulled out his gun and was reaching out his hand to show his ID, which was against the rule, but FBI 's rules were never serious.

Huang Xuan became more furious when he saw Bruce again. He threw the container in his hand and kicked the guy with the gun in the chest, who was immediately knocked over onto the threshold. Then he picked up an a.n.a.lytical balance and smashed it into Clay's face. Clay's nose almost came off and couldn't stop bleeding. At this point, Huang Xuan added a heavy kick at his face, hoping to send him into a coma.

Meanwhile, Issac picked up a chair with his foot and pulled Huang Xuan back. The armed IZO had rushed over too. Huang Xuan called Aubrey and Annabelle from the lab and told them what was happening. They were both shocked.

Although there were eight national police organizations in America, the FBI had almost become the real American police out of historical reason. They were like the Chinese Public Security Ministry. When the FBI showed their ident.i.ty, Issac put down his gun and smiled awkwardly at Huang Xuan. Huang Xuan understood that IZO wouldn't fight against the FBI, because that would mean that they had to give up the American market.

Clay stood there in pain. His mouth and eyes had been hit too. Now both his image and career had been ruined. Some guys holding canisters were standing intensely behind Clay, ready to fire anytime.

The researchers stayed in the lab all the time. Steele never showed up during the whole thing. Seeing the IZO had put down their guns, Harry, Clay's deputy also put down his. ”Mr. Huang Xuan, you have made big trouble. You must go with us,” he said cordially. He had read Huang Xuan's profiles. This was the USA after all, the USA owned by wealth and the wealthy.

”Do you need me to inform the amba.s.sador?” Issac asked.

Huang Xuan shook his head slightly. He wanted to wait and see. On the other hand, pointing a gun at the FBI wasn't a crime. Besides, they hadn't identified themselves when Huang Xuan kicked Clay. ”Copy the video,” he said to Rolin.

Huang Xuan raised his head and said to Harry, ”I am not American so you can't force me to go with you.”
