Chapter 108
"what!!!"

Akesha who just woke up saw the two guys who tried to snatch his gems near the campfire during the day, Akesha rolled his eyes and "successfully" passed out again.

Klein couldn't help curling his lips when he saw Aksha frantically looking around with the corners of his eyes squeezed into a slit, "How did you know him?"

Tao Xi turned his head and glanced at Akesha who was pretending to be dizzy, shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, but he is very good, isn't he?"

Tao Xi still recognized Aksha's attitude that he could sacrifice himself to let him escape at that time, science and technology are the primary productive forces.

For this point, Tao Xi has always agreed with it, the reason why Hill has to finish college no matter what.

It is because Tao Xi realizes the importance of learning, and there are not many Aksha who have excellent learning ability and are very filial. Tao Xi likes him very much, although he looks a little silly!

"Hey! Stop pretending!"

"If you pretend again, I'll leave you alone!"

Hearing this sentence, Akesha got out of the sleeping bag with a "whoosh" and didn't even want the cowhide notebook left by his father. Akesha, who was hiding behind Taoxi, pointed at the Klein brothers. The fox pretended to be powerful and said: "So and so made you eat my food!"

"Okay! I've already hired the two of them. These two people have been our guides for a while. They were members of the [Antero Hunter Gang] before."

"Oh, hire. Hire? WHAT!!!"

Aksha's shrill cry was extremely frightening at night, if it wasn't for the look in Roselle's eyes that made Aksha swallow the rest of his words, maybe this college student would say something nasty.

"Your gem! It's ready, here is the harvest for the two of us today." Tao Xi casually threw Akesha's gem that was robbed today and the gem that was supposed to be distributed to him.

The recovery of the gem made Aksha instantly relieve the scare of being robbed during the day. When Russell took the initiative to take a gem to apologize at the gesture of his brother-in-law, Aksha could not wait to put all the delicious food in his backpack. share it.

When Roselle saw Akesha's appearance, his old face couldn't help but blush, and he, who was used to intrigues, kindly persuaded him: "I don't know why you came to Mount Antero, I suggest you It's best not to come again next time, this place is not suitable for you."

"Hahahaha! I'm so lucky to meet a robber who offered me gems, but I have collected enough tuition fees this time, so I won't come. My father needs money for medical treatment, and I also want to continue taking the geology exam. doctor of science."

Looking at the bonfire in a daze, Tao Xi seemed to suddenly think of something and suddenly turned around and asked, "Is your teacher Edmund Rapp?"

"That's right! Mr. Edmund is very kind, and he is also a double-honored professor of geology at the Ivy League. He has very high attainments in petroleum equipment and geological exploration!"

"Do you know Bastian?"

Aksha thought about this name for a long time before answering Tao Xi, but Roselle asked his brother-in-law Klein when he heard this name: "Isn't Bastian Nampa?" Is he the owner of the Special Mining Company? Amar’s nephew has been the captain of the transport team in this company.”

Tao Xi glared at him instantly when he heard this sentence: "Aren't you gangsters? How could an aquamarine mining company cooperate with you?"

Klein snorted disdainfully when he heard these words, but Roselle took the beef jerky that Akesha gave him and explained while eating: "We are a combination of interests, and we are not as strong as your control over our subordinates." , as long as he has a gun and experience in digging gems, we will provide him with protection. If there are too many people, it will be difficult to manage. In addition, the gems in Antero Mountain are really difficult to dig now, so there will be a lot of road robbery Things are happening that keep our reputation in decline.”

Tao Xi nodded thoughtfully, and Aksha suddenly thought of something, shaking Tao Xi's arm excitedly and said: "That's right, that's right, Mr. Edmond accepted Nanpu last year. A sponsorship from the Rat Mining Company, I remember that this sponsorship seems to be provided to him for oil exploration and oil refining technology research and development."

The thread in Tao Xi's mind became more and more clear. He always felt that the robbery of [3600 million aquamarines] was not as simple as Dalton Jr. said on the surface.

The [Antero Hunter Gang], which had the greatest connection with the case, also disbanded under the siege of the police, and their boss hid in an unknown corner of Antero Mountain because of fear.

"Do you think it's possible that your boss has fled abroad?"

Russell didn't wait for his brother-in-law to say anything, and replied directly: "If you say that he hid in the casino in Denver County, I would believe it. A hunter who grew up in Antero Mountain, he would stutter when he saw the police. How could it be possible to go abroad?"

"Then how did he become the boss! Isn't Klein better than him?"

When Klein heard this sentence, he didn't reply, but was serious about roasting the turkey caught by Tao Xi. Roselle saw that his brother-in-law didn't want to say anything and just said: "If he is strong, the people below will How can I make money?"

The word "benefit puppet" came to Tao Xi's mind in an instant. When Tao Xi thought of a large group of younger brothers crazily blocking the way and robbing in the name of the boss, when something happened, the group of younger brothers scattered and fled, but the boss hid Not daring to show his face in the deep mountains, Tao Xi inexplicably felt sorry for this person.

But Tao Xi still had a question in his mind, that is why Amar's nephew was the captain of the transport team at the South Platte Mining Company.

The South Platte Mining Company sponsored a sum of money to Professor Edmond. Has the research and development result of this money come out?You must know that Akesha just said that this is a private sponsorship. This sponsorship is not issued through the university where Edmond works, but is directly used by Edmond for personal use.

You must know that it is a very common phenomenon for professors in American universities to accept private sponsorship from companies. After all, scientific research personnel in the United States also have insufficient funds.

Maybe this professor named Edmond is not as beautiful as what Aksha said. Is it possible that Edmond secretly conspired with Bastian and finally planted the black hat on Amar's head? ?
After all, Ammar's nephew was working as the transport captain there, but why did Bastian rob his own gem?Why did Edmond disappear in the end?
Tao Xi silently drew a question mark in his heart.
