American Peanuts

Chapter 89 The sweet dream continues (14)

The two of them walked downstairs and came face to face with a man, wearing a long black coat, with his head lowered and one hand in his pocket, walking quickly towards Charlie.

Gal Gadot quickly stood in front of Charlie, and the other party moved away, drifting away from the two of them.

"I think he has a problem." Gal Gadot said looking at the man's back.

Of course, this is just a guess, and Charlie, an assassin of this level, does not feel that he poses any threat to himself.As for the more covert method, that's not necessarily the case.

"It's always good to be careful." Charlie looked up at the building opposite and entered the car.

The venue Spielberg agreed on was a small performance venue, and he was joined by David Geffen.

"Hey, Charlie, your deeds on Wall Street make me feel like a movie." Spielberg looked unbelievable and surprised, but to say how regretful he was, he didn't feel regretful.

"That's right, you made history Charlie Rossi." The bald man approached with Spielberg.

"But if you give me another chance, I will still choose that way. You are just an example. In fact, most people who make similar bold moves will be eaten up in the end. Why should I take risks? ?" Spielberg explained.

"Next let's talk about the promotion of the live-action Transformers."

Charlie talked with the two for a long time, including some specific details and business issues about Venus.

During this period, a band took to the makeshift stage. Several of them looked old, and their punk attire could be called "old-fashioned" at this time. No matter how you look at it, they were all active in the music scene in the last century. An old band.

"Several, can you play some music for our guests?" David Geffen said to the band members.

"Of course, sir," the lead singer said into the microphone.

"You can request songs, my friends, provided they can sing."

Charlie turned his head and recognized that it was Aerosmith, a band that was super popular in the 70s.

They once released records on David Geffen's record label.It is estimated that the two parties chose to cooperate again to conduct a series of small concerts about nostalgic styles.

"Why don't you just sing what you are best at." Charlie thought for a while and then said.

"Oh, that's such a terrible idea, I almost threw up on that song." The long-haired lead singer couldn't help but say.

Having said that, a few people still played it live, and it was "The Dream Continues" released in [-].

"Every time I look at myself in the mirror, the wrinkles on my face are getting deeper and deeper. The past can no longer be traced. It is the price that everyone must pay in life. Sing with me, if it is only today, maybe God will take you away tomorrow, Please stick to your wishful thinking~"

The majestic melody, coupled with the hoarse and strong singing voice, seems to sing about people's helplessness and confusion in facing reality. With the last few lines of sharp and high-pitched falsetto, "wishful thinking, wishful thinking", it tries to arouse people's emotions. desire and enthusiasm.

During the period, Spielberg recruited his men, and the other party approached with a cigar box. Spielberg chose one of them and handed it to Charlie.

"You should try this. Use a cigar cutter to cut off the end of the cigarette, and then light it with a match. Remember to use a special sulfur-free match. Never use a lighter, which will destroy the taste. Like this, turn it slowly The cigar allows the tobacco leaves to be fully lit..." Spielberg gestured live.

Charlie did not refuse and took the lit cigar from Spielberg.

"Ahem." Charlie coughed twice.

Spielberg and David Geffen smile at each other.

"Don't breathe it into your lungs, that will choke you to death. Instead, spit it out directly. Breathe the taste in your mouth, elegantly and unhurriedly. You are the boss of a playboy, you must learn to enjoy..."

After the discussion, Charlie Rossi stood up and left under the escort of Gal Gadot.

Spielberg and David Geffen looked at each other at this time.

"If I were just a mere bystander, I would hope that Charlie Rossi is safe and sound, and that he can bring fun, and that's enough." David Geffen said with a smile.

"But he is too sharp and sharp, which attracts prying eyes. The meaning of Meteor is that it exists for a short enough time to be worthy of being remembered. This is fundamentally different from a band that makes money with feelings." Spielberg leaned back. , looking at the band playing by itself.

The two of them had obviously received some information, and for some purpose, they chose to turn a blind eye, but they still had to do business with Charlie in order to avoid him becoming suspicious.

Charlie Rossi returned to his luxury home in the afternoon and continued to tossing Gisele Bündchen.

The hearing date has been set, just three days later, when he will be publicly questioned to determine whether he is suspected of market manipulation and other violations. This will be broadcast live publicly and more information will be disclosed to the public.

At night, Chicago, a high-end residence.

An electrical maintenance man wearing a peaked cap and blue overalls knocked on the door.

After a while, Christie Hefner opened the door.

The maintenance worker took off his hat and said, "Did you just make a call for electrical maintenance?"

"Yes, the power suddenly went out. Other houses were fine. It may have been a child playing a prank and damaging the wiring around the house." Christie Hefner explained.

"This is the case in most cases. For the specific reason, I need to go in and check." The maintenance worker continued.

"Okay." Christie let the other person in.

The maintenance worker raised his flashlight and closed the door.

"Come with me to the basement." Christie turned around, but found that the other party seemed to have not heard her words, standing there without any movement.

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Christie turned around, shining the flashlight on her face.

"Bang." The heavy toolbox was placed on the ground.

It took 15 minutes for the real maintenance workers to arrive. For private power companies, they would only choose to come overnight after facing complaints from wealthy people like the Hefner family. As for ordinary users, just be honest. Really wait for daytime the next day.

But no matter how hard they knocked on the door, no one in the house responded.

Late at night, Charlie received a call from Claire.

"All dead?" Charlie was a little surprised when he heard the news.

"Yes, the four children died of gunshot wounds, poisoning, suffocation, and throat-cutting respectively. This was a premeditated and vicious incident. As for Hugh Hefner, the oxygen tube was removed and he died quietly in the hospital." Claire explained.

"Next, FBL will conduct a comprehensive investigation on you."

The five murders occurred in different states, and such cross-state cases are investigated and handled by the FBL.

Charlie got up, walked into the study and opened the web page.

Although the media only objectively reported this incident, in mainstream discussion communities such as Reddit, people unanimously judged that Charlie Rossi was the murderer.After all, he was the only one with the potential motive to kill the Hefner family.

"If you ask me, you are so cruel that you won't even let your grandchildren go." Claire sneered.

"Would you believe me if I said I was fucked?"

"I believe it. How could I not believe it? You are the wise and powerful Charlie Rossi. How could you send someone to assassinate him?" Claire responded immediately.Apparently she didn't believe Charlie's story.

Charlie didn’t want to argue with her, but just asked: “Who is responsible for this?”

"You asked me that. Of course I am responsible. This is my reward for your help before. I still have to make money with you, but I can't let you go to jail." Claire said with a smile.
