Chapter 334 The Complicated Big Business
Joe Ga was taken aback by Minister Dachi's words, then he realized something...
Rumors in the underworld say that the so-called 'Outstanding Contribution Award,' which is not publicly disclosed, is equivalent to the Oscar of the American Security Service Company, and the award ceremony is held at the White House.
There is no way P·B could hope to win the award, but an internal nomination could let most of the people eligible to attend the party know the name P·B.
This is like inserting an advertisement into the Spring Festival Gala.
The cost of a single second of advertising during the Super Bowl in America is one million US dollars, but if possible, the security service giants would certainly be willing to spend ten times that amount to compete for a nomination for the 'Outstanding Contribution Award' at the party.
Joe Ga, extremely delighted, said, "Thank you very much for the recognition, please wait a moment, I'll arrange dinner, at the very least I need to open a bottle of champagne..."
As he spoke, Joe Ga discreetly gave a thumbs up to the equally ecstatic Michael Beach, then loudly called for 'Spur' to have the suite's butler arrange food and drinks.
Today the boss is in a good mood, Master Qiao is picking up the tab for everyone...
Along with Joe Ga's loud summons, the atmosphere in the room eased up a bit.
Soon, an advisor from the security department became restless!
The smartly-dressed advisor, a man in his thirties wearing black-framed glasses, stood up and said, "Sir, my name is Eric Bent, and as the special advisor to the American security department, I appreciate your actions.
But now there is a problem with the FBI, and our national security faces a challenge.
I hope you can answer some of my questions..."
Upon hearing this, Joe Ga glanced at Alicia and Minister Dachi, finding that both had shut their mouths as if they hadn't heard Eric Bent say anything...
At this moment, Joe Ga still didn't know exactly what the FBI had lost, but he realized that Eric Bent had serious beef with the Department of Justice.
It was very strange for an advisor from the security department to intervene when the FBI had lost something and were not looking for it themselves.
Uncertain of this guy's angle, Joe Ga hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile, "Should I have my lawyer present?"
Alicia picked up on Joe Ga's doubts and, looking up with a smile, said, "Don't forget, I am your legal advisor.
You haven't done anything wrong, nor are you a suspect in any case, and Mr. Bent doesn't even have a judge's warrant in his hands.
In fact, he doesn't even have the right to interrogate a criminal; it's illegal for him to even consider himself a law enforcement officer.
However, I suggest you talk to him personally..."
As she spoke, Alicia glanced at Eric Bent and said, "Some people are used to ignoring the law, but we acknowledge that while they may not be good at accomplishing things, they are quite adept at causing trouble."
Joe Ga looked at Eric Bent, who didn't seem embarrassed, and at this point realized that the guy probably wasn't a government employee at all. He was just using the security department's name to do the bidding for some big shot, which was why Alicia despised him and even labeled him as 'more trouble than he's worth.'
The struggles between American politicians are extremely fierce, and if there were even dirtier dealings between parties, then the situation would be all the more perilous and nasty.
Now Joe Ga realized that whatever the FBI lost must be very disadvantageous for some big shot, and moreover, this big shot was not on the same side as the Department of Justice.
It was quite clear that the Department of Justice was not particularly concerned about what the FBI had lost, or rather, the lost item was not deadly for the Department of Justice—they had the ability to remedy it. But the person behind Eric Bent was not pleased.
After having a rough idea of what was going on, Joe Ga said to the suite butler who had entered the room, "Prepare food and drinks for everyone, we can take care of the rest..."
After finishing, Joe Ga gestured towards the direction of the study, looking at Eric Bent, and said, "Let's go in and chat, to be honest, I'm a bit of a rough guy, and I don't know much."
Eric Bent adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "I just want to ask you a few questions. There might be some things that you've even overlooked yourself, but they might be the key to solving the problem."
Joe Ga nodded nonchalantly and said, "Go ahead—if it's really helpful to you, I don't mind recalling the lousy state of the past few days."
The two entered the study, with Joe Ga sitting in the chair behind the desk and inviting Eric Bent to sit opposite him. Then, spreading his hands, he said, "Okay, let's begin!"
Eric Bent looked into Joe Ga's eyes for nearly a minute, realizing he couldn't shake Joe, and finally said in a somewhat grave tone, "Hu Lang, you're in trouble!!"
Joe Ga was startled for a moment, then said with some disappointment, "Let's be sincere. Ask whatever you want—if I know it, I'll answer it."

With that, Joe Ga pointed towards the study door and said, "Sitting outside is the Deputy Minister of Justice. If I'm in trouble, he's the one to announce it.
But I know that everything I've done is legal and compliant.
I should now boast about my contributions to New York, but I guess you're not really interested.
Now you can talk about serious matters unless you say another threatening word to me, our conversation is over."
Eric Bent still fixated on Joe Ga's eyes, said, "Why did your two subordinates leave New York at noon today?"
