I saw everything

Chapter 389 Undercurrents
Australia's screening and clearing of immigrants from Europe and America may seem covert, but many people have noticed the subtle actions of the Asia Alliance.

However, most people in the Asia Union tacitly agree to this secret cleanup, even the local white population in Australia, who also strongly dislike squid.

If Western Europe has a certain historical sin against squid, then the Asian Union and Australia have done nothing to them. Without historical baggage, the Asian Union naturally does not welcome these bloodsuckers and cancers.

In recent years, many squid have tried to infiltrate Asia Union through various means, aiming to use it as their next parasitic host.

However, they overlooked the defenses of the Asian Union.

Although the immigration authorities screened out the "squid immigrants" who attempted to smuggle themselves out by falsifying their identities, quite a few still slipped through the net.

In particular, the local Australian squid are trying to smuggle a large number of squid in through a coordinated effort from within and without.

The financial backers of Sky News are a very important driving force.

For this kind of guy, the only thing the Asian Union intelligence agency can do is send his whole family to meet God.

This incident, which served as a warning to others, has prompted many wealthy squid owners to flee, either emigrating to America or returning to Europe.

However, the covert cleanup of those who remained hidden was still proceeding in an orderly manner.

Even though there were quite a few capable scientists and scholars among these squid, Asia Union still held the attitude of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free" and rejected all of their immigration applications.

There's no other way. The main problem is that squid are very difficult to assimilate. Rather than wasting time, manpower, and resources to assimilate these ungrateful wretches, it's better to keep them out from the start.

the other side.

San Francisco, America.

Aaron Greenberg, who had just gotten off the plane, was still a little shaken. He was the eldest son of Joseph Greenberg, who died of a sudden heart attack at Sydney Airport a few days ago.

He was then preparing to immigrate to San Francisco with his mother, a younger brother, and his father's inheritance.

"Sister, Aaron..."

Upon hearing the voice, Aaron smiled and greeted him warmly, "Uncle Neil, it's been a long time! How have you been?"

“Neil, sob sob sob…” Tina Greenberg hugged her younger brother Neil Silver, tears streaming down her face.

The two siblings chatted for a while.

In the car.

Tina's eyes were still slightly red: "Neil, how's your company doing?"

Neil, driving the car, calmly replied, "Sister, my company is doing well. After completing its third round of financing last year, its market value has now reached around 240 billion US dollars."

“Congratulations! How is Dad’s health?” Tina then asked.

"Fortunately, I had an organ transplant three months ago in Seris, where I received a new kidney. My uremia has now been resolved."

“Serissa…” Tina frowned.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Neil Silver noticed something was wrong with his sister's expression: "Sister, is something on your mind?"

Tina gritted her teeth and explained in a low voice, "Hey! Neil, I suspect that Joseph was killed by the Seres."

Neil sensed something was amiss: "Sister, what's been happening in Australia lately? Why are so many wealthy people immigrating to America?"

"You guessed right, something did happen in Australia. You should know who the boss behind Sky News is, right?"

“I know, he didn’t go out a few days ago…” Neil only realized at this moment: “Joseph was on that yacht?”

However, Tina shook her head: "He's not here. He died of a sudden heart attack at the airport."

“This…” Neil had some guesses in his mind.

"After hearing the news of the Sky News boss's yacht sinking, he booked a flight to Europe overnight, but he died of a heart attack at the airport. However, I know his health very well. Joseph's medical reports over the past few years have always been normal, with no signs of heart disease."

After hearing his sister's explanation, Neil believed it to a large extent.

Tina continued, "You may not know this, but Joseph has been working with Sky News for the past few months to guide public opinion and try to get Australia to allow more applications from European and American immigrants."

“I see…” Neil had clearly figured out the context of the situation.

This is actually quite normal.

Because in recent years, Alicia has also been secretly purging the Chinese community within her own ranks.

Neil put himself in their shoes and felt that the Seres would not allow a high-risk group to continue its rapid population growth within its ranks.

Furthermore, the relationship between Neil and his so-called brother-in-law Joseph was also very ordinary. After all, one of them lived in America for a long time, and the other lived in Australia for a long time. They didn't spend much time together, so it's natural that they didn't have a deep relationship.

He could only play along, comforting his sister and two nephews.

Unbeknownst to him, his car had arrived in front of a villa.

Press the switch, and the villa gate slowly opens automatically.

A sprightly old white man was watering the garden with a watering can when he saw the gate open; he knew it was his eldest daughter returning home.

Sure enough, as the car door opened, Tina, her eyes red and swollen, burst into tears again.

"Daddy... Waaah..."

The old man patted his daughter's back to comfort her, saying, "Alright! Little Tina, and Aaron and David, it's good that you're all okay. Leave the immigration to Neil!"

It was almost noon by then.

The Mexican-American housekeeper had already prepared lunch in advance.

As the food was served.

The old man inquired about his daughter and grandson.

Neil and his wife, along with their children, also came to have dinner together.

As we chatted, the conversation turned to work.

The old man took a sip of orange juice: "Aaron is also studying computer science, Neil, could your company arrange a position for him?"

Neil did not refuse; he did need one of his own to enter the technology department because he had noticed something was wrong with Chief Technology Officer Irwin Hansen over the past few months.

"Sure, Aaron, come work for my company as a logistics assistant in the technology research and development department! We can discuss the details in the study later."

“Thank you, Uncle.” Aaron Greenberg was overjoyed.

The meal brought the two sides closer together.

Inside the study on the second floor.

Even Aaron Greenberg, who was sitting upright, became a little nervous in front of his uncle.

“Don’t be nervous,” Neil reassured him, then got straight to the point: “Aaron, I need your help with something.”

Aaron immediately assured him, "Uncle, please give your instructions. I will do my best to help you if it is within my power."

“Very good.” Neil was very satisfied with his cheap nephew’s attitude: “I suspect that my company’s Chief Technology Officer, Erwin Hansen, is problematic. I need you to get into the technology research and development department and help me investigate his every move secretly.”

"Is that so?" Although Aaron had never been a corporate spy before, he felt he should be fine. After all, this was spying within his own family's company, not infiltrating a Seresian enterprise; the difficulty was on a completely different level. He nodded and replied, "OK, I'll keep an eye on this person. But Uncle, if he goes out, I probably won't be able to track him, right?"

“I know that. I’ve already hired a professional private investigator to keep an eye on his every move 24 hours a day while he’s away.”

"That's good. I'll take charge of monitoring him within the company, right?"

"That's it."

The uncle and nephew talked for more than an hour and clarified some details.

To avoid exposing the situation, Neil naturally wouldn't openly allow Aaron to join the company as his nephew.

In the afternoon, we arrived at the headquarters building of New Eden Company.

Neil Silver spoke privately with Jude Nicholson, the head of personnel, who was one of his confidants.

"Jude, I have something I need you to do."

"What are your orders, boss?" Jude Nicholson adjusted his glasses, his gaze remaining unchanged, looking like a rigid block of wood.

"This is a secret between the two of us. Once we're out of this door, you can't reveal anything that shouldn't be said, understand?"

"I will keep it a secret."

“I trust you to handle things.” Neil believed in Jude’s loyalty, which was why he had entrusted the company’s human resources department to him. He continued, “I trust you to be a good person.”

"Aren't we going to recruit a batch of employees in a few days?"

"Yes, boss."

“I need you to assign the position of logistics assistant in the technology research and development department to this person during the recruitment process.” Neil took out his phone and sent a photo of his nephew Aaron to the other party.

Jude glanced at the photo on his phone, but instead of asking who the person was, he assured him, "Okay, I'll definitely make him the logistics assistant in the technology research and development department."

“Yes, he’s my sister’s son. I brought him in not just to take care of my own people, but because I feel something’s been off in the R&D department lately.” Neil was still being frank with Jude.

After all, some things are hard to do without the HR department, and since the other party is his confidant, he definitely needs to discuss this matter with him so that Jude can secretly cooperate and help Aaron.

Jude frowned: "Technology R&D Department? Erwin has indeed been acting strangely lately. He goes on trips to other places every month, and the timing is very fixed."

Clearly, as the head of human resources, Jude was not completely unaware of the actions of the company's senior executives.

“He didn’t go on a trip to another city, but to Hong Kong in Asia Union. I recently hired a private investigation team to investigate his every move and found that he went to Hong Kong twice in the past two months.”

"Going to the Asian Union? Could it be that he was bribed by the Asian Union's intelligence agency?" Jude's expression grew increasingly serious.

“This is also my concern. After all, the company’s R&D projects are very important. If the Seres find out about the technical data, our stock may crash, and then we will face the wrath of investors,” Neil said worriedly.

If you're just an ordinary stock market investor, then Neil could just issue a random announcement to fool people; there's nothing to worry about.

However, New Eden Company's three rounds of angel investment involved many large conglomerates and powerful families, and these were not people he could easily offend.

The two chatted for a while in the office.

However, they were unaware that an ear in Neil's office was recording the entire conversation.

Neil clearly underestimated how formidable programmers can be. During the conversation, his laptop on his desk had secretly started recording and sent the audio to a hidden email address.

Inside the research base of New Eden Company.

Irwin Hansen is an artificial intelligence expert and the chief technology officer of New Eden in North America.

He had just returned from a meeting and sat down. He made himself a cup of black coffee and opened his laptop.

Just then, a special notification popped up in the computer's background.

'Neil was talking in the office?' At first, Irwin didn't pay much attention, because he often monitored the computers and mobile phones of company executives, which was the fundamental reason why he had always been successful in the company.

After all, by stealing various confidential information and personal privacy of company executives, he can prepare in advance, cater to their preferences, and catch them off guard.

However, as the voice in the headphones began to tell its story, Erwin's hand, which was stirring his coffee with a small spoon, unconsciously stopped.

'Heh, Neil, you've already noticed?'

Various thoughts kept flashing through his mind.

After listening to the recording, Erwin's fingers were already on the laptop keyboard, flying across the keyboard. He quickly found Aaron's photo on Neil's phone.

Looking at the young man in the photo, Erwin's face remained expressionless.

However, the way his fingers lightly tapped the keyboard betrayed his true feelings.

'There are likely only a few people in the know. Neil, Aaron, and Jude are confirmed. There are no related traces on the phones and computers of the others…'

"What should we do now?" Irwin's gaze turned cold. "Joseph Greenberg? Heh, that guy's death is quite interesting. Perhaps we can use him."

At this point, Erwin had become increasingly wicked.

'Don't blame me, Neil. If you hadn't investigated me, you'd still be a good boss to me. Unfortunately, you chose a path of no return. Anyone who stands in my way, die!'

He quickly figured out a way to handle the situation.

Before leaving get off work.

He invited Aaron out under the pretext of monitoring him through conversation, and then invited Jude as well.

At this moment, Erwin, holding a laptop, was sitting in his office, looking through the blinds at the parking lot of the headquarters building not far away.

Soon an electric coil car drove out of the parking lot.

He knew the fish had taken the bait.

Using his phone's location tracking, Erwin pinpointed Jude's car and Aaron's walking location.

After half an hour.

On a highway, Aaron saw the green light for the pedestrian crossing turn on and stepped onto the crossing.

However, he didn't notice that an electric car was speeding towards him, and the driver in the driver's seat was Jude. He had already seen the pedestrians on the sidewalk and started to brake.

"What's going on?" Jude was horrified when he realized the brakes had failed. What terrified him even more was that the car was accelerating.

boom!
Three pedestrians, including Aaron, were instantly sent flying more than ten meters.

"Ah..."

boom…

Without stopping, the car crashed into a nearby building, whereupon the car battery exploded and burst into flames. Jude, who was already unconscious, was burned alive in the raging fire.

the other side.

Neil, who was driving home, lost control of his car while talking on the phone and crashed into a passing truck. He was run over by the truck and turned into a mangled mess.
