Chapter 008 Golden Cicada
San Francisco International Airport, America.
As soon as the plane landed.
Lin Yulong , who was responsible for arranging the itinerary , took them to the booked hotel to rest for three days and adjust to the jet lag.
As for their destination, it was not San Francisco.
This time, mentor Tie Dongqing's academic exchange partner is an old friend of his, Dr. Feng Zhang from MIT.
This person has very high attainments in CRISPR-Cas9 gene recombination technology and is also one of the first researchers to apply CRISPR-Cas9 technology to human and animal genes.
Li Qingye also drew on many of Dr. Zhang Feng's papers and ideas in his research on CRISPR-Cas9 technology.
Since MIT is in Boston on the east coast of America, and San Francisco is on the west coast of America, they also need to transfer here to go to Boston.
In the hotel rooms.
Li Qingye was alone in a room. As soon as he entered the room , he opened his suitcase and took out three miniature eavesdropping devices from it.
He took out his cell phone again, put it on silent mode, and checked the time on his watch. It was 1:00 p.m. North American time.
After a while, the hotel delivered a lunch and he handed the waiter a piece of paper with a tip of $100.
[My throat is inflamed, so it's not convenient for me to talk. I need to adjust to the time difference and rest at night, so there's no need to send me dinner. Thank you.]
The blond waiter smiled and stuffed the tip into the dimensional bag on his chest: "OK, it's a pleasure to serve you, and I wish you a pleasant lunch."
Li Qingye waved his hand, and the blonde waiter closed the door.
He quickly finished the milk and bacon sandwich. He knew that Golden Retriever and Squinty Eyes were in the room downstairs, and Tian Nanxing was in the next room.
It took about another twenty minutes for me to close the curtains, take a shower, change clothes, and leave a letter for my tutor.
He put the suitcase aside, took out a small tape recorder, pressed the play switch, and a humming sound filled the room.
Standing in front of the door, my extra-sensory senses are activated.
Six minutes later , he gently opened the door, then gently closed it, then walked quietly into the fire escape and left directly from the hotel's first floor lobby.
Under the shade of the trees at the entrance of the hotel.
Just hail a taxi.
"Where are you going, man?"
"The nearest Swiss bank branch."
"OK." The driver saw that Li Qingye didn't want to communicate and didn't want to ask any more questions, so he just stepped on the accelerator.
California Avenue.
Swiss bank branch.
After paying the fare and giving a $10 tip, Li Qingye entered the UBS branch with only his ID and bank card.
"Sir, how can I help you?" A short-haired female salesperson in uniform came forward with a smile.
"I need to withdraw a large amount of money."
Hearing the word "large amount", the salesperson's smile suddenly became even sweeter: "Sir, please come this way."
In the VIP room, besides the short-haired female salesperson, there was also a middle-aged fat man with a Mediterranean hairstyle.
The fat man smiled and asked, "Sir, please enter the card number."
[601277—6].
"Please input Username."
[CH04—0015—5713—7706—7410S].
"Oh..." The fat man's eyes lit up, and then his smile became even brighter: "Please enter the password."
[387＊＊＊＊371].
[The password is correct.]
"Sir, your account balance is US$183,672,300. How much money do you want to withdraw?" the fat man continued.
Li Qingye was very calm: "Get me an international bank card and transfer 10 million US dollars to it."
"OK." The fat man immediately instructed the female salesperson to apply for an anonymous UBS bank card for Li Qingye.
Li Qingye was drinking afternoon tea. After receiving the freshly-made bank card , the fat man asked attentively, "Sir, is there anything else that Swiss Bank can help you with?"
“How does immigration work?”
The fat man said very skillfully: "Immigration? No problem, but I don't recommend America. Maple Leaf, New Zealand, and Northern Europe are more suitable places."
"Then let's go with Finland! What's the fastest way to get it?"
"I'll arrange a VIP channel for you for one month."
Li Qingye continued nonchalantly: "Well, I want to go to South Africa today, but I don't want to take a regular flight, and I need to keep it confidential. Money is not a problem."
"Please leave it to our company. I will arrange a private jet for you that will take off within two hours. No one will know your whereabouts. Satisfying our customers is the purpose of our company."
It’s capitalism as expected, money makes the world go round.
Of course, the so-called absolute confidentiality is just for listening.
Perhaps ordinary forces have no way to pry open UBS's mouth, but if big gangsters like America want to know something, UBS has no way of refusing it, unless they don't want to get involved anymore.
However, Li Qingye also understood that at least Du Shuping and others could not reach North America and Europe.
The sun sets.
San Francisco International Airport quickly added a special new flight, a Gulfstream private jet, which landed and took off silently.
Over at the hotel, Golden Retriever and Squinty Eyes were still listening to the incessant snoring. Although they were taking turns to monitor the situation, this simple snoring still made their ears very uncomfortable.
The next day at noon.
The waiter's knock on the door and the suspicious voice made the Golden Haired man who was in charge of monitoring feel something was wrong: "Something happened, you should quickly ask Tian Nanxing to go and check it out."
Mimiyan quickly sent a text message to Tian Nanxing.
Tian Nanxing, who was in a daze, suddenly woke up a little when he heard the notification tone of his mobile phone. He picked up his mobile phone and jumped up with a start.
Without even changing clothes, he ran out of the room in his pajamas.
The door of Li Qingye's room next door was wide open, and the waitress was holding the intercom, reporting the situation to the hotel manager.
"Excuse me, what happened?"
The waitress saw that Tian Nanxing had an Asian face and asked, "Sir, is the guest in this room your companion?"
"Yes, he is my classmate."
"Oh, God bless you." The waitress patted her chest and said, "This guest left a letter, a suitcase and a tape recorder. You'd better take a look."
A trace of panic flashed across Tian Nanxing's eyes, and then he walked into the room. Looking at the tape recorder and a letter on the bedside table, as well as the suitcase beside it, he felt that things were beyond his imagination.
Open the envelope quickly.
[Boss, don't worry. I'm already in Toronto. I'll meet you in Boston in a while. I'll leave the luggage to you. - Li Qingye, May 23. ]
Damn...Tian Nanxing is not an idiot.
Soon, the instructor Tie Dongqing and Lin Yulong also rushed to the room. After reading the letter, the instructor didn't say anything, but just instructed: "Put away Qingye's things. He is in a bad mood, let him be!"
The golden-haired man with squinty eyes in the guest room downstairs received Tian Nanxing's report and his face suddenly turned dark.
Thinking of the snoring he had heard last night, the golden retriever couldn't help but yell, "Alpaca!"
"We are exposed." He said with narrowed eyes and frowned.
Jinmao naturally knew that they were exposed. If Li Qingye simply left without saying goodbye, then perhaps there was nothing to worry about. However, the other party deliberately played the snoring sound on a tape recorder, which obviously meant that he had discovered the bug in the suitcase.
"What should we do now? Should we go to Toronto?"
Squinting, he shook his head: "Do you think he really went to Toronto?"
The golden retriever's expression froze.
Squinting, he waved his hand: "Report to the boss! We are looking for a needle in a haystack in North America, so we might as well let them have the headache."
"Fuck...my bonus..." Golden Retriever looked depressed.
