Section 80 Coercion 1

The little girl put down the cell phone in her hand and exhaled a long breath. She poked her head slightly out of the window and saw two armed thugs still guarding the back door of the building. The other party was prepared, which means it was impossible to leave the window with a tool such as a bed sheet. The other thugs were searching layer by layer, one by one. They were not fast, and they could even be said to be very slow. But it was because they were slow that they were particularly steady. So she gave up the idea of ​​"hiding in a certain corner to avoid the other party's search". Every corner where people could hide people would not be spared.

She was quite calm, but Heidi was already scared and trembling. This was the first time that the two of them had encountered such a crisis in a long time.

Although the United States is a country that claims to own 400 million guns, news about shooting on campus, robbery with guns, and gun battles with police and gangsters is common, this situation is really rare.

As the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields, but in fact, shopping malls are still not as good as battlefields, because they will not kill people with real swords and guns in the business world. After all, most countries have a system of "bankruptcy". In fact, business wars will not die, at least they will not directly cause humans to die physically.

"Damn, we should bring the bodyguards with us." The little girl muttered softly. They had the best bodyguards, the top experts provided by the United States' most expensive and strongest security company. But this time they were in secret operations. In fact, they did not expect to face this situation.

"I really don't know..." Heidi almost cried. No, it wasn't that it was almost cried, but the tears had already come out.

"Don't cry anymore, do you think they will be merciful when they cry?" the little girl said disdainfully. "Crying has no other use than venting emotions, but what we lack now is time. Do you think of what's going on? They are not like robbers. Call the police again."

More than ten armed thugs were all wearing black hoods and holding automatic weapons. This posture was reasonable to appear at the entrance of a certain bank, but this time they appeared at the entrance of the hotel.

This is not a high-end, atmospheric and high-end eight-star hotel, but just a relatively ordinary four-star hotel. According to common sense, even if you encounter a robbery, you will not encounter such a lineup. But this kind of unreasonable thing happened naturally. More than a dozen masked thugs broke into the hotel lobby from the front, killed two hotel gun security guards on duty in front, and rushed in.

Now they are searching layer by layer. Even tool rooms and toilets are no exception. They are very cruel and will kill them if they resist. I don’t know how many guests there will be in this four-star hotel, but at least dozens or hundreds. The front page headlines of the newspaper website tomorrow will probably be available.

"This kind of thing happened in the first event of the 'Trade Union'..." the little girl said softly. "It should be for us!"

A few months ago, they gathered a group of like-minded people on the Internet to form a group aimed at protecting the rights of women and children and protecting students from school bullying. This is not a legally registered legal entity group, but it can only be called a gathering of fellow enthusiasts, but everyone's likes is to pursue justice and fairness - in this country, there are really not many justice and fairness.

This kind of "gathering party" is actually very common, such as the companion club of a certain game, or the fan club of a certain star. However, under normal circumstances, the pursuit of games or stars will have results, while the pursuit of justice and fairness in society will not have any results. This is because the former does not require much power, while the latter must have strong power.

In the real world, it is absolutely impossible to fight evil and unfairness without power.

Because they are not a serious group, they don’t even have official names. Everyone calls themselves “union” in ambiguous way. All members are ordinary people in society, and most of them are women or students themselves. Their ability to move is actually very poor, and their economic ability is even weak. Anyway, if everything develops normally, the limit they can do is to provide some victims with some public opinion support that only exists on the Internet. The existence of this support has almost no meaning, and they will soon realize that they are powerless. Then, after the entire society understands their powerlessness, the members will have no motivation to speak of. In the end, they will disappear.

But there is one exception, or two exceptions among them, the little girl and Heidi.

Although less than a year ago, one of the two was just an ordinary high school student (the worst school), and the other was just a mere elementary school student in a small border town. But now the two are different now. Especially Heidi, she is already covered with a halo called "the new star in the wall street", managing an investment company, and she is estimated to have billions of assets.

On this era, money is power! With power, you can change things that you don’t like.

This is the first offline meeting of the "union" and the location was chosen as this relatively ordinary four-star hotel. Specifically, the union will make the final preparations before the trial for the first case they took over, that is, the murder case of Kate.

Those with a little sense of justice know that this is an extremely unfair thing. A 16-year-old girl named Kate killed a hooligan who tried to rape and murder her in a complete self-defense operation. Now she is being charged with first-degree murder. Because the hooligan belongs to a gang and the gang boss wants to avenge his men.

In theory, this is just a simple matter that can be done by spending money to hire a lawyer, but in fact it is more complicated. Because the gang boss noticed the existence of the "union" and planned to take further action. At present, he actually did nothing, just made a few threatening calls, but it has greatly disintegrated the morale of the "union".

Although the methods of coercion and inducement are clichés, they are effective for most people. There may be people who are "magnanimous and cannot be surrendered", but the number is absolutely small. When facing a real threat, many people want to give up or even withdraw. This is why the union needs an offline meeting. Unfortunately, the first meeting of the "union" was interrupted by a group of thugs before it even began.

"What should we do? The call to the police... the phone can't be reached..." Heidi tried to call the police again, and of course failed again. "Will that magician come to save us?"

"I don't know." The little girl calmed down. "At the magic level, teleportation spells in the plane are not advanced magic, and Brother Zhang Cheng should have mastered them. But I don't know if teleportation can be carried out on the earth..." She said to herself.

"What are you talking about?"

"I didn't say anything." The little girl replied. "Your cell phone is ringing. Is the operator calling back?"

Heidi was in a hurry to pick up her cell phone, and her expression was stunned for a moment.

"Who is it?" the little girl asked.

"It's the guy named Allen." Heidi's face was twitching due to nervousness and anger. When she received such a call at this point, she knew what was going on without asking. She didn't believe it all just because it happened. "It's the white gloves of the gangster!"

"Sure enough, now we are at the critical moment of life and death," the little girl calmed down, and the thugs on the floor below were still searching one by one. A scream came with the sound of gunshots, and what happened was self-evident. Moreover, the scream was obviously from a woman. She took out a colorful gun from her arms, but unfortunately the gun was a non-destructive weapon after all, and the range was limited. It was still useless when facing fully armed thugs. "It's really a bargaining opportunity!? Listen to what he said!"

"Good morning, Miss Heidi." A male voice with a relaxed tone came from the phone. "I hope you are in a good mood at this moment."

"Thank you for your kindness... If you ask me why I am still alive, you can only say that your subordinates are slow to move. The police still have a chance to arrive."

"Hahaha... First of all, I want to correct your two mistakes. First, they are not my subordinates, so they can't have anything to do with me. Secondly, the police may not have the chance to arrive. Half an hour, within half an hour, the police will never arrive. As for half an hour, I think those guys can find you no matter how slow the movements are. Is there any difference between the police and not the arrival of the police?"

"Those guys have nothing to do with you?"

"Oh, of course." The male voice on the other side of the phone was obviously in a good mood. "But I know what happened to them, or I know who their boss is... If Miss Heidi needs it, I don't mind telling you. Of course it may take a few minutes."

"Who sent them?"

"Two weeks ago, Miss Heidi, you entered the wheat futures market with 120 million dollars of funds," the voice said slowly. "A rampage. In just three days, you returned with more than 500 million dollars of swords - at least 500 million, and perhaps more - of spoils. Do you know how many people you did? You are completely unruly!"

"Everything I do is legal transaction!" Heidi replied. "Trade according to law, pay taxes according to law, and is protected by law."

"Then," the voice seemed to have not heard what Heidi was saying at all. "Others have read your past record again. In the past three months, you have done things like this wheat futures market more than ten times, and you have to take away at least hundreds of millions of dollars each time... You have made at least three billion in three months! Too many people think you shouldn't be in this world at all. You are robbing them. You are taking away all the real money from other people's pockets. You won't think that people all over the world should be gentle, virtuous and respectful, and can only watch you take away a lot of money that belongs to them, but you can't do anything, and you dare not do anything, right?"

"So that's it. You're doing it too explicitly." The little girl who was listening to the side sighed and said in a very light voice. "Heidi, next time we have to be careful, we must disperse and not come out by ourselves. Put on a vest and change the account."

"Didn't you say last time? We have to be so arrogant to hide our real income..."

"Shhh... keep listening to him."

"So Miss Heidi, you understand how the troubles came today, right? There is an old saying that no killing on the grounds of money and women does not need to be explained." The voice on the other side of the phone was still relaxed and pleasant.

"Tsk... since that's the case, are you calling here to laugh at me? I'm laughing at me at this time? And... if you can call here at this time, it means you are also accomplices!"

"Oh, you misunderstood us." Allen said. "Miss Heidi. Last month, one of my guys drove to death a girl. Because that girl looked down on him, a young man, she was so impulsive. The first police officer who arrived at the scene was a sheriff named Li. He was a very outstanding detective and saw on the spot that it was a murder rather than a car accident, and arrested my guy. However... we responded immediately. We told the sheriff that we knew many big people. These people can guarantee that the guy would not have to go to prison, and that she could also make Sheriff Lee lose her job and even lose the ability to gain a foothold in society. When Sheriff Lee found me, she found out that I

What they said was not about bluffing, but when it was very likely to become a reality, he was immediately shaken. Why? Because he realized that even if he did the right thing, the other party might not be subject to the sanctions he deserved, and his own future and even his life would be compensated for this case. Just as he was frightened, we gave generous conditions. Because Sheriff Li had just gotten married, he was inevitably a little financially hampered. So under many induces... he compromised. He helped the guy re-handle the scene, did false evidence collection, and even taught the other party what to use when recording. A murder case turned into a traffic accident."

"What do you want to tell this story?"

"I want to tell you that coercion and temptation is a very effective means that almost no one can fight against it. Not to mention that there are ordinary men and women in your 'union', even the police cannot fight against it. Saints can resist temptation, and warriors can fight against it. Only when one person has these two outstanding and outstanding qualities at the same time can he fight against both. So how many people can do this? You see, we don't need to take action on this matter at all. In fact, we did almost nothing. Your companions - if you think they are your companions - simply betray you."

"But you called at this time."

"Yes, a call full of kindness." The voice said. "You shouldn't have escaped this disaster, but look, our boss has given you a chance."

"Isn't this opportunity free?"

"You guessed it right," this time, the voice of Allen was mixed with a bit of special smell. "Do you know this guy, Kufeli?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it at all."

“He is our eldest son,” the other party said. “A young man full of energy. He hopes to date you on the premise of getting married.”

The little girl took out the panel computer expressionlessly, and searched a little and found a photo on a social platform. She was a young black man who looked rough and savage (at least of black blood). She had a bald head and held a young white woman with one hand who could only be said to be very sexy. She was holding a wine bottle in the other hand, and looked at the camera with a drunk expression - this way she felt disgusting.
