Chapter 167: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind (two in one)

The office was filled with smoke.

"Boss, what should we do?"

James' palms were sweaty and he felt a little nervous.

The current situation is very unfavorable for them.

There is Silvio, a powerful enemy outside, and many leaders inside who have turned against us.

The two sides joined hands and formed an inside and outside double team.

In such a critical situation, Jin Bing remained calm.

The rising cloud of smoke obscured his face, making it impossible to see his expression.

But his cold words came out clearly through the smoke.

"Don't worry, James, the sky won't fall.

Yes, the betrayal of Louis and his men is indeed a problem. They have people, money and guns.

But this is not a big threat. Don't forget, everything they have now was created by me, Jin Bing, so I can certainly break them down piece by piece.

If Vanessa is still alive, everything will be fine, but if anything happens to Vanessa, I will do whatever it takes to bloodbath this city. No matter who it is, as long as they are my enemy, they will all die. "

Having said this, he immediately took action and gave orders to the men in front of him.

"But before that, I have to find a way to rescue Vanessa."

James: "Do you want me to send a few people over?"

"no!"

Kingpin waved his hand and said, "Even Louis, who was the first to follow me, can betray me. God knows who else will turn against me!"

In fact, this is just one of the reasons.

What’s more important is that Kingpin is not confident in James.

James has screwed up a lot lately.

His right-hand man betrayed his trust. He neither noticed the abnormalities in the gang nor protected Vanessa well.

Now the other party is actually willing to volunteer. No matter how stupid Jin Bing is, he will never hand over the task.

"White Rabbit said she has a plan to get Vanessa back safely."

After hearing what Kingpin said, James immediately became dissatisfied.

"You actually trust her more. She has only joined us for a few days?"

If King chooses someone else, James won't say anything.

After all, we are all family, so there is no need to argue with each other.

Moreover, he did make a mistake in this matter.

If the people he chose had not been incompetent, Vanessa would not have been kidnapped by the enemy.

But he never expected that Kingpin would use no one, but instead mobilize a super criminal he had just recruited, which made James very unhappy.

"trust?"

Jin Bing smiled coldly.

"Of course I don't trust her, I only trust myself.

I'll give White Rabbit only one chance, and if she fails, I'll throw her and all her scrap metal into the bottom of the Hudson River.

Also, James, I have a task for you, go say hello to some of our old friends."

"I understand, boss."

No matter what, the boss still had a task to assign to him, which made James feel much better.

With the list given by Jin Bing, he quickly left the office.

Only Jin Bing was left in the room alone, his face looking gloomy and uncertain.

"James, I hope you don't become what I imagined..."

……

Almost at the same time.

The top floor of the Vercetti Building.

In another office.

Tommy: "You mean Red Hood asked you to join Kingpin, and then Kingpin asked you to capture Silvio's daughter, and Red Hood knew about it..."

"Yes."

Not to mention Tommy, an outsider, even White Rabbit, the person involved, was a little confused.

She really couldn't figure out what Red Hood was thinking.

Joining forces with Silvio, the leader of the Maggia gang, was the right move.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend.

Although Silvio is now in a weak position, he still has some foundation and can provide a lot of help.

The same is true of kidnapping Kingpin's wife Vanessa.

With this important hostage in hand, Jin Bing will certainly be cautious.

At least before Vanessa was rescued, Jin didn't dare to take direct action against them.

But Red Hood's next order made her a little confused.

Red Hood wanted to deal with Kingpin, but that guy asked her to help Kingpin and give her advice.

If it weren't for the hatred that Red Hood couldn't conceal in his every move, she would really have misunderstood which side Red Hood was on.

However, just because she couldn't figure it out didn't mean Tommy couldn't either.

Although he had never seen the Red Hood in person, Tommy was confident that he had guessed a lot of what was in the other person's mind.

"While the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits. Perhaps this is Red Hood's plan."

Tommy is well aware of Vanessa's importance to Kingpin.

For that woman, Kingpin even gave up his criminal empire.

Given how much Kingpin values Vanessa, if Silvio put forward some conditions, even if they were very excessive, I'm afraid Kingpin would agree to them.

As for those subordinates who betrayed him, they were just a group of small characters and could not amount to anything significant.

Without Silvio's support, Kingpin could suppress the situation with just his backhand.

Of course, Red Hood would not want to see this.

That's why that guy let Bai Tu join the team and planned another kidnapping case, targeting Silvio and preparing to capture his daughter.

If all goes well, Kingpin and Silvio will each have a rich bargaining chip, and each will control the other's most important person.

Under such circumstances, both sides are likely to compromise, temporarily stop fighting, and exchange hostages.

This is where Red Hood's chance comes.

He could have brutally killed the two hostages and then put the blame on both sides, resulting in a fight between Kingpin and Silvio to the death.

It would be much more convenient if those two people appeared directly on the scene.

Red Hood could simply kill the two gang leaders, seize their foundations, and create his own criminal empire.

Of course, Tommy had no idea what Red Hood was thinking.

He was just standing in the Red Hood's perspective, trying to guess the other party's plan.

From what he knew about the Red Hood, perhaps this was the most likely possibility.

"Well, they are having a great time, I should join in."

Tommy rubbed his chin and made a decision in his mind.

If Red Hood can do it, how could Tommy Vercetti be any worse?
Since Red Hood wants to be a fisherman, he might as well be a hunter.

As for who will be the final winner, it depends on their respective abilities.

"Okay, I get it. You can go now so as not to arouse other people's suspicion."

After getting enough information, Tommy waved his hand and sent the White Rabbit away.

The white rabbit was a little unhappy.

She came here at her own risk to pass on information, so it would be too cruel to just send her away like this.

Tommy thought so too.

Even the Suicide Squad next door can get a short vacation after each operation.

His attitude towards Bai Tu didn't seem to be necessary to be so excessive. After all, Bai Tu had been very cooperative during this period and had done everything very well.

Moreover, he has been thinking about one thing recently.

Waiting for emergencies to happen is too passive.

He could have trained a criminal team himself, let those guys cause trouble everywhere, and then he would take action to solve the trouble and gain a lot of points.

Of course, considering the influence of public opinion, he will definitely not take part in person, but will only provide support secretly.

The degree of danger of the criminal team must also be assessed at all times and must not be beyond his control.

Don’t let it become like Iron Man Tony Stark, who creates an Ultron that he can’t defeat, because that would be really fun.

Therefore, what Tommy should do most is to find a suitable tool person in advance.

This tool can help him do things that are inconvenient for him to do, infiltrate the criminal team, and provide support to those super criminals on his behalf.

To give a simple example, Tommy's approach is like the ancient generals who kept the enemy for their own benefit.

It's just that one is for points and the other is for status and wealth.

All I can say is that history is a very good textbook.

For some things, our predecessors have already given the answers, and later generations just need to follow them.

When it comes to the selection of tools, the answer seems very simple.

Yes, it was the White Rabbit sitting opposite Tommy.

Put your abilities aside first.

The identity of the White Rabbit is very suitable.

Because of the previous robbery case, Bai Tu already had a criminal record and a reward was offered by the police.

And now, White Rabbit is also involved in a huge conspiracy and has dealt with two super criminals, Kingpin and Red Hood.

Another thing is that the White Rabbit has always been crazy and always imagines himself as a character in a fairy tale.

If you say that such a person is a decent character, no one would believe it even if you kill you.

But it just happened to be convenient for her to hide.

Tommy didn't think the White Rabbit's weak fighting ability was a problem.

White Rabbit is not originally the same type as Captain America, and does not rely on his extraordinary physique to fight.

In fact, the White Rabbit is more like a war machine, relying more on its own equipment to fight.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Tommy.

A weak guy is much easier to control than a stronger one.

Tommy can provide the combat equipment that White Rabbit needs.

Compared to Hammer Industries and Stark Industries, Titan Corporation is just an insignificant latecomer.

But with Tommy spending a lot of money, the company still recruited some good scientists and established one research and development team after another.

Various types of weapons and ammunition are also being produced in full swing.

Moreover, he holds two trump cards in his hand.

Kurt Connors and Michael Morbius were both working for him.

Although these two people majored in biochemistry, their majors seem to be somewhat incompatible.

But a genius is a genius and cannot be judged by common sense.

Even if we can't come up with a groundbreaking product like the Iron Man Armor, it's still very easy to develop some small gadgets.

For example, the second-generation White Rabbit robot currently used by White Rabbit was created by two doctors and their team.

It might be difficult to equip an army in an organized manner, but it was definitely enough to supply a white rabbit.

Thinking this in his mind, Tommy's understanding of the White Rabbit improved.

The White Rabbit rose from a tool that could be discarded at any time to the level of a more valuable tool man.

Although I haven't escaped the identity of a tool.

This attitude is reflected in the outside world by his tone becoming softer.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"Well..."

The White Rabbit thought carefully.

It was definitely impossible to disarm the chip bomb, and she didn't even bother to mention it.

She also has no shortage of money.

Her dead husband left her a lot of property, too much to count.

Let’s put it this way, as long as she doesn’t focus on starting a business, she can just do nothing and enjoy a life of wealth and glory.

From a practical point of view, she lacks nothing.

But when it comes to the spiritual level, it’s hard to say.

After thinking for a long time, White Rabbit finally gave her answer.

Pretending to be casual, she reached out and knocked the coffee cup on the table to the ground, looked at the mess on the floor, and said with an apologetic and teasing look in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Vercetti, for accidentally breaking your cup. So, how are you going to punish me?"

Tommy: “Huh?”

……

after a while.

In the dark room, a similar scene was playing out.

"It's not good, boss!"

The door was pushed open and a subordinate rushed in, reporting a bad news in a panic.

"Miss Manfredi was kidnapped. Someone saw a giant robot at the Imperial University and witnessed the entire kidnapping process!"

"hateful!"

Upon hearing the bad news, Silvio was furious, his heart was pounding, and the blood vessels in his head were about to burst with anger.

But he forgot.

He is very old.

Under the violent emotional fluctuations, Silvio's eyes went dark, his legs became weak, his body became limp, and he was about to collapse to the ground.

Fortunately, his son Joseph was by his side.

Seeing his old father's fragile behavior, Joseph immediately reached out to support him.

"How are you, father?"

"I am fine."

Silvio pulled himself together, stood up again, and said bitterly:

"It's Kingpin, it must be him!"

He gritted his teeth and cursed at Jin Bing.

But he completely forgot that the incident was caused by him.

If he hadn't sent someone to kidnap Vanessa, Kim would not have harmed his daughter.

Of course, that's how people are. They often notice the shortcomings of others but forget that they have made the same mistakes.

However, it is too late to investigate who is right and who is wrong now.

"Father, let me go over and kill Kingpin!"

Joseph was furious and volunteered, but was rejected by his father.

“No, Joseph, my child.

Damn Jin Bing, if he dares to touch my daughter, I will make him suffer more than me! "

One child had already been killed, and Silvio didn't want the other, and final, child to be in danger.

He picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number, calling the person he least wanted to see.

The signal was good and the call was connected quickly.

"Jin Bing, your wife is in my hands, and my daughter is in yours. In this case, let's meet!"
