America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 406 Night at the Staples Center
Emily and Alia's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not stay in Abel's room for long.

For a while, after the two leave.

Abel picked up the cell phone on the bedside table and made a call.

"How's it going outside? People are gone."

"Then come in."

He explained softly.

A few minutes later, Edward and David Jones entered the room.

After removing the decorative bandages, Abel lay on his huge Simmons.

He looked at his two cronies.

"Tell me about the situation." Abel said softly.

Edward first opened his mouth and said: "At present, roughly 386 people can be detected. Among them, 35 are from CLA, and 69 are from FBl. The rest include IRS, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, AFISRA, DIA, NRO, ONSI, etc. Waiting for the people of the organization."

"Wow--"

Abel couldn't help but yelled, and laughed at himself: "How many intelligence agencies does our country have? Do you think they are all there? People who don't know think I'm going to betray the United States, or I'm going to make positive changes Woolen cloth."

Seeing the boss like this, Edward explained softly:
"Boss, in fact, almost all of the larger PMC companies in China are in this situation..."

Abel actually knew what Edward was talking about.

The name of the world's number one spy country is really not deceitful at all.

The entire federal government has a budget of tens of billions of dollars every year, which is invested in the entire intelligence work.

In addition to these official budget funds, many intelligence agencies themselves can also make extra money outside.

For example, in the United States, FBl plays various fishing and law enforcement, and part of the various fines do not need to be turned over to the national treasury.

Another example is ClA, the organization responsible for US foreign intelligence work, which is even more expensive than FBl.

The shadow of ClA can be found in the laundry detergent industry chains in various triangles and crescents.

There are gossip that, in addition to the federal government's annual budget.

CLA earns at least tens of billions of dollars a year in its foreign laundry detergent industry and other industries.

There is an official salary to receive, and you must have a strong ability to earn extra money.

There are more than a dozen similar intelligence agencies in the United States, each with its own small coffers.

That gives these intelligence agencies themselves, they already have some independence.

Sometimes even their superiors, such as the Ministry of Defense or the White House, can't fully command these agencies.

Like Edward said.

These institutional departments with money and people, for their performance and credit for climbing up.

Many times, they dare to do some bold things.

For example, DEA and CLA, these two departments often fight abroad, and sometimes they clash and kill some agents, which happens once or twice a year.

It has been almost three years since Rock Security was established.

Its scale has grown from a dozen or so people at the beginning to 5000 to [-] people not including family members, and tens of thousands of family members.

Although it doesn't accept foreign business very much, such a huge scale has already given it a certain reputation in the US industry.

Such a large scale will naturally attract the attention and attention of relevant departments.

It is quite normal for these intelligence agencies and intelligence agencies to mix sand into the rock security and send undercover agents.

Things like Catherine Jones, the current Catherine Hannah next to Laura, can happen to Abel, and naturally they can also happen inside the rock security.

The undercover agents of these special departments, Abel knew their existence from the very beginning.

He also knew that it was impossible to completely exclude these people.

That is something that is difficult for other powerful countries in the world to do.

Even Eastern countries with different cultures and species will be influenced and controlled by it.

This kind of infiltration, whether it's your own side, or your own armed forces such as rock security.

Abel knew that there was absolutely no way to avoid this.

Taking advantage of this time I had an idea, I came up with an attack.

Abel had let Edward make arrangements in advance with those of his real cronies.

That is, through this incident, turmoil and mobilization occurred within the rock security.

So use this restlessness to find out the undercover agents hidden inside the rock security.

Although it is impossible to find out completely, at least a preliminary list can be mastered.

This is for Abel, who has never felt insecure in this regard.

It can make him feel more or less safe.

"How many intelligence agencies are there in the country?" Abel asked casually.

Edward said softly: "There are 16 public ones. The unpublished ones... Then I don't know how many there are."

"Hehe...it's almost ready." Abel sneered.

"Forget it. There is no way to avoid this, just pay attention to monitoring. Anyway, I don't want to betray the country, and I don't want to change."

Abel ordered casually, and then looked at David Jones.

"David, tell me the family office, has anything happened?"

David Jones nodded, and the family steward lowered his head and replied softly:

"Ms. Hathaway, Ms. Alba, Ms. Lerner, Ms. Hilton... They all came to Texas immediately. The other ladies are generally quieter. It's just that in Elizabeth's back garden , Several of them contacted other modeling agencies today."

"Hehe..." Abel sneered.

Just like he thought, the attack he made this time.

It was a test, a rehearsal, that he wanted to do.

Test the personal armed force of Rock Security, test his business partners, and even test his women.

Although human nature can't stand the test, once you test it, you will know the false and the false; the human heart can't stand the temptation, once you try it, it is easy to see the true and the false.

But he, Abel Smith, can also pass this test and adjust some future practices.

After all, in Abel's view, whether it's business partners, employees, or women who can bear children for themselves.

Basically, it was him himself, who used his interests to snare him.

Apart from himself, Abel actually didn't even trust Little Laura many times.

He thought such a "test" was necessary, and he did it.

"Make the list." Abel said directly, "Let me see who it is."

David nodded slightly.

Abel checked the time, and he knew it was about time for little Laura to come in.

"That's it. Follow-up things will continue as planned."

David and Edward nodded, and they left the bedroom.

Sure enough, after half an hour.

dong dong dong-

Little Laura knocked on the door with a relaxed expression, and walked in without waiting for Abel to speak.

She was also apparently one of the people who knew about Abel and wasn't hurt.

"It looks all right, doesn't it? You look pretty relaxed, honey."

Abel leaned on Simmons and smiled.

Little Laura raised her beautiful eyebrows, and her golden hair fluttered in the air as she walked, exuding a youthful and beautiful atmosphere all over her body.

"It's not bad... They all look a little scared of me. Even the arrogant New York socialites are the same."

Little Laura came to him with a smile, climbed directly onto Simmons, and snuggled into Abel's arms.

"My dear... It's so tiring to fight against them like this."

Little Laura lay on Abel's chest and said softly.

Without waiting for Abel to reply, she immediately added: "But there is a strange sense of satisfaction, a sense of accomplishment. What's going on here?"

Abel didn't want to continue this topic.

He was subtly letting little Laura get used to his presence in the Crystal Palace.

Including letting little Laura be in a high position in this Crystal Palace system.

Faced with little Laura's emotions at this time, Abel directly responded to the most direct actions between husband and wife.

He turned over directly and pressed little Laura's slender figure under him.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of the injured person, why are you like this!"

"It's because you're hurt that you need your warmth more."

Little Laura wanted to say something more, but her mouth was blocked and she couldn't speak.

Silent all night.

Wait until Ikana and the others meet Abel in Abel's bedroom the next day.

Abel had bandages wrapped around him again, but not as much as last night.

But it seems that it is quite serious.

But his bright eyes still looked piercing.

This made the women, somewhat relieved.

"I'm not lying to you. Your man is wounded, a little bit badly and a little bit badly. See, now tell him yourselves."

Standing nearby was little Laura, who looked like she was wearing a dressing gown, wearing Abel's white shirt, she said.

"Hi--"

Abel smiled and said, "My dears, I'm fine... As you can see, I had a little accident. But don't worry, everything will be fine!"

……

……

a few days later.

2002 1 Month 25 Day.

Downtown Los Angeles, California, USA.

Staples Center, the sports venue, is located near the Los Angeles Convention Center in downtown Los Angeles.

它在1998年3月31日开始动工修建，1999年10月17日正式落成开放。

In terms of scale, under normal circumstances, the Staples Center can accommodate 18997 spectators.

It was built with a total cost of 3.75 million US dollars. The owner is AEG, and now the title is all taken away by Staples.

This famous sports and entertainment center itself is designed in strict accordance with modern basketball professional venues.

From any angle of the three-story stands, you can clearly see everything on the court.

它有着接近300个的豪华包厢，共有1200个电视监视器、价值150万美元的音响系统、675个采声话筒，以及价值200万美元的灯光系统。

In addition, the Staples Center also has 55 lounges and gyms open to the public; there are 23 food and beverage supply points, and there is an outdoor restaurant from which you can see the panoramic view of Los Angeles.

Concerts and meetings of various Hollywood and Grammy stars, as well as commercial sports such as the NBA, all use this as their home field.

But not long ago, there was an accident here.It was briefly blocked for a total of three days.

It was unblocked two days ago.

On January 1, the Staples Center will host an NBA game.

This game itself is not on the NBA's schedule this year.

But because of some accidents, the schedule of the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers was adjusted once.

Before the preseason this season, the two teams that originally met only twice have now become three times.

One of them was today at the Staples Center, where the Lakers played a regular season at home.

Due to the factors of the KB attack that occurred on January 1, both inside and outside the Staples Center venue.

Tickets for this game sold well, but after the Staples Center was blocked, there was a wave of refunds.

In New York's Madison Square Garden, the NBA League has been dove once.

After encountering this kind of thing again, this time I can only sigh myself.

Fortunately, the top executives of the NBA league can also give an explanation to other members of the league this time.

After all, there was a KB attack that no one wanted, and no one could find any reason to attack David Stern.

Facing fans' requests for refunds.

The approach of the NBA and the Staples Center is to give certain compensation and refunds.

Fortunately, David Stern excited.

It was on January 1, the day the Staples Center announced the unblocking, that there were some good turning points.

That is many Hollywood stars, as well as some American celebrities.

They have been interviewed by some media and on some TV stations, declaring that Americans should not succumb to the KBFZ.

This happened at the Staples Center.

Those KBFZ are at fault, not the NBA and Staples Center.

On January 1th, Tom Hanks, a big Hollywood star, was interviewed by a reporter from the "Hollywood Express", he claimed——

"I'm not scared of them. Those damn hell bastards, their attacks don't scare real Americans. I'm going to the Staples Center tomorrow to see the Rockets and Lakers game."

It's not just Tom Hanks saying that.

There are also many other social celebrities who also announced that they will appear at the Staples Center on January 1.

Go to the Rockets-Lakers game and lead by example against the KBZY threat.

The presence and claims of these celebrities turned the game around.

The fans who were clamoring for a refund immediately regretted not refunding their tickets.

The scalpers even increased the price of the tickets on January 1 from the original normal price to more than ten times.

But it is said that it is still in short supply.

The reason is actually very easy to understand.

In newspapers and TV stations, celebrities, singers, and social celebrities who claim to appear at the Staples Center on January 1th.

The number of these people adds up to more than twenty people.

Fans of these people are willing to spend a little more money in order to get close to them.

Coupled with the quick response of David Stern, on the evening of January 1 when things turned around, he began to increase the advertising budget to heat up the game.

Under the planning of many parties, this game was originally a gloomy game because of the KB attack.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into possibly the most eye-catching game in the NBA this year.

It also made the Staples Center, and its surroundings, very lively tonight.

Interested people discovered that today's Staples Center is nearby, and the law and order forces are obviously very strong.

A large number of police cars can be seen everywhere in the vicinity, and even some secret service vehicles.

These numbers are several times more than when the Staples Center usually holds events.

Everyone understands this very well, after all, that kind of thing just happened here not long ago.

There will still be so many celebrities and celebrities coming here to watch the game today.

If there is another accident, then the matter will be really big.

With this premise, it seems that it is not unreasonable to be more cautious about security work and have higher requirements for safety.

　Some people have complained in the last few chapters, and I understand it.Because this is the content after castration, if there is no coquettish and stupid incident, the full version will involve some 404 content.Now this part is skipped, and it will be written in the later period.It seems incoherent, very dissonant, sorry, it's my lack of writing skills.

　　As for the update issue, the rest of this month is probably only four to five thousand words per day.

　　One is to save manuscripts for the possible upcoming XBB1.5 and Chinese New Year.The second reason is that the new crown has hurt me a bit... I am getting tired very easily now, and I still want to sleep after sleeping fifteen hours a day.However, the examination was basically fine, the CT was also OK, and other aspects such as blood oxygen were also normal.I just want to sleep. I went to the hospital to check more than 1000 yuan, and everything is normal... I used to drive on the highway for four or five hours without rest except going to the toilet. Now I go back to my hometown from the county for an hour. Obviously I have enough sleep, but I almost fell asleep driving on the road.
