Chapter 139 Helping Diablo to Get Trouble
Li Qing pinched his throat and called back the number that had just come in.
There are no stupid people in the passion organization, and the cadres who can talk directly with Diablo are definitely not easy to deal with.
Therefore, the moment Li Qing asked about the location of the technology team, the other party had already become suspicious:
You are the boss, how come you can't even remember where your subordinates are stationed?
Why are you asking such a weird question out of the blue?
He was full of doubts, but...
Because Diablo had accumulated so much prestige over the past decade, no one dared to question the questions raised by the "boss" even if "he" behaved a little abnormally.
After all, he is an invincible boss.
Is it possible that someone could snatch the phone from the boss and then impersonate him to commit telephone fraud?
Hahahaha…this sounds like an April Fools’ joke.
He would rather believe that the boss had a memory loss and couldn't remember the address than believe that the boss was an imposter.
As for why the boss suddenly asked for the address of the technology team?
This is not something a subordinate needs to ask - why should the boss explain to you how he does things?
With this thought in mind, the shrewd cadre and the boss's confidant gave an obedient answer after a brief hesitation.
Li Qing got the information without any trouble :
The technology team is based in Pisa, where there is a famous leaning tower.
※※※
Six hours later, on the highway outside Rome.
It was already past eleven o'clock and the sky was dark.
Fortunately, the volcanic ash that filled the sky over Naples did not drift here, so everyone could still see the stars when they looked up.
The car window was half open and the night wind blew in from outside.
Li Qing sniffed the thick car exhaust mixed in the wind, looked at the car taillights in front of him that seemed to never disappear, and sighed helplessly:
He has been stuck here for a long time.
It is actually less than 600 kilometers from Naples to Pisa. Under normal circumstances, six hours is enough for him to drive from Naples to the Leaning Tower of Pisa to take photos.
However, due to the severe earthquake caused by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, major roads throughout southern Italy suffered varying degrees of damage and congestion.
It took Li Qing and his companions more than five hours to finally drive the car out of Naples, which was severely affected by the disaster, and followed the crowded and crowded vehicles of fleeing people to Rome, 200 kilometers away.
The destination, Pisa, is still a full 400 kilometers away.
After an afternoon of continuous fighting and a long journey on the road, they were all exhausted to the extreme.
Everyone else closed their eyes and took a nap in their seats, trying to recover before the next attack.
Only Li Qing was unanimously elected as the driver and sentry of this journey because of his "never tired" characteristic in the digital mode.
"ah…"
Li Qing yawned.
Although I am physically full of energy and never tired, I still feel a little bored mentally after being " idle " for a long time.
He didn't want to disturb his companions who were resting, so he carefully turned down the volume of the car radio and listened to the night news on an unknown channel out of boredom:
"The appearance of the Naples 'lava demon' caused heavy losses to the US military. The Los Fort aircraft carrier was sunk by the monster. The number of casualties is estimated to be..."
"The US Secretary of Defense announced an urgent cessation of all US military operations in the Balkans."
“…”
Li Qing listened with great interest:
The Balkan War ended prematurely, and he seemed to have changed the history of this alien world without realizing it.
The news broadcast continued:
"Regarding the 'lava demon' that appeared in Naples this afternoon , we interviewed Lieutenant General Colt, who witnessed the disaster and commanded the US military to subdue the monster."
"Please listen to the report from the reporter at the front."
Soon, General Colt's voice came out:
"Dear journalist friends, I know what you all want to ask."
"No one knows the origin and purpose of this 'lava demon', but what everyone knows is that today is a historic day."
"The monster appeared, with the power to destroy the world. It was the boys of our Sixth Fleet who sacrificed their lives so that we, Italy, and people all over the world can live in safety. They worked for world peace..."
Colt's words let the whole world know the sacrifices made by the US military in saving the world. Of course, his contribution to the wise command and decisive judgment was also mentioned.
However, the reporters who didn't get any useful information were very unhappy.
Someone immediately asked a different question:
"General Colt, I heard that before the monster appeared, there was a large-scale biological terrorist attack in Naples."
"Excuse me, what do you know about this attack?"
Hearing this, Li Qing immediately pricked up his ears.
Before he left, he severely reported Diablo to Colt.
If these reports could draw America's hatred to Passion, and use the country's power to eliminate evil, then he could just lie back and watch Diablo's death.
Then, in Li Qing's expectant mood, he heard General Colt say in the news:
"Indeed, there was an inhumane biological attack in Naples."
"According to investigation, there is reliable evidence that the mastermind behind this attack is...the president of XXX country, XXX!"
In a serious tone, he issued an impassioned appeal for justice:
"We now have every reason to believe that China has been secretly developing, manufacturing, and stockpiling large-scale chemical weapons."
"This is a serious crime against humanity, a disregard for human rights and genocide..."
"ha?"
Li Qing was stunned:
He reported the names of Diablo and the Passion organization to Colt word for word, but how come a few hours later... the culprit became a certain Middle Eastern oil-producing country that was a million miles away from his country?
This... With so many people dead, is there no one left to take care of the real culprit?
Although he didn't know what the Americans were thinking, Li Qing also vaguely understood...
It seemed that the trouble he had brought to Diablo had not come.
※※※
General Colt said everything he had to say in front of the reporters, and then left without leaving out a single word.
After getting rid of those glaring news cameras, the grief, indignation and excitement on his face immediately turned into a very radiant smile.
Colt laughed and couldn't help but think of the question he had just answered, and of Li Qing who had reported him in the afternoon:
What are you talking about "Diabolo"? Do you want us to uphold justice?
Haha…too naive!
In fact, there was no need for Li Qing to tell tales.
Relying on the powerful intelligence capabilities of the United States, it took them only two hours to find the Passion Organization, the mastermind behind the terrorist attack, and roughly knew the purpose of the Passion Organization in launching this attack.
After figuring out that this mafia organization made such a big scene just to help the boss deal with a few enemies...
Americans were shocked at first, then speechless, and finally bored:
Is that all?
After all this fuss, the truth is just a "superpower gang fight"?
The charges of "possessing chemical weapons" and "carrying out biological and chemical attacks" are huge black pots that can be used directly as reasons for major powers to start wars and to reasonably interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
To put it bluntly...
Are you a small gang organization worthy of this?
It would be a huge waste of opportunity to identify the murderer as an Italian mafia gang.
It is not easy to eradicate an underground organization that is deeply rooted in another country, and even if it is eradicated, the United States will not gain any benefits.
They are not the real world police, so why would they need to do such a thankless task?
If a high-profile investigation is launched, wouldn't their attempt to put the blame on country XXX be exposed?
As for the truth?
“No one cares about the truth.”
"Only the statement that is most favorable to us is the real 'truth'."
"but…"
Colt muttered to himself, but suddenly thought of something:
"Since this matter involves the superpower called 'stand-in', they should be interested, right?"
"Yes... This thankless task can be done by the SPW Foundation."
He thought about it, lowered his head, opened his phone's address book and looked through it.
Finally, Colt found a number that he had added at a social drinking party and never contacted again:
"Joseph Joestar."
