Two days later, early in the morning, in the backyard of Chen-Style Chinese Medicine Clinic.
Lin Hai is doing morning exercises with his master Chen Bing. Their movements are slow and coherent. Tai Chi's moves unfold like flowing clouds and flowing water, with a unique sense of rhythm.
At this moment, the mobile phone he placed on the stone bench next to him vibrated, and the screen lit up, displaying the name of Electro - Kingpin (Mr. Wilson).
Lin Hai moved for a moment and cast an apologetic look at the master. Chen Bing slowly stopped, with an understanding smile on his face, and waved to him, indicating that he would answer the phone first.
Lin Hai walked to the stone bench, picked up the phone and pressed the answer button. Before he could speak, Kingpin's voice came from the receiver. Without any pleasantries, he went straight to the topic. "Doctor Lin, the time has come to take action against Madame Gao and Alexandra."
Lin Hai became energetic after hearing this.
Kingpin continued, "The reason why it has been delayed until now is that in addition to using Murakami and Bakuto to continuously consume their vitality and make them tired of internal fighting, I am also concentrating on collecting evidence of Alexandra's crimes."
His voice had a hint of coldness. "For New York, Madame Gao is just a wealthy foreign businessman who invested here. It is relatively simple to deal with, but Alexandra is different. Her tentacles have already penetrated into New York's political and business circles. If she simply disappears, there will be no way to give an explanation to all parties on the surface."
"Now, everything is ready. Once these two are solved, I will make the evidence public. By then, these things will be enough to stop everyone's mouths, and those people will not give up their future for Alexandra."
This is indeed the style of Kingpin, who knows how to use rules and situations to achieve his goals and clear up subsequent troubles.
After Kingpin's voice stopped, Lin Hai asked, "I understand, Mr. Wilson. So, when will we gather?"
Kingpin has already made arrangements. "According to the information I have received, Madame Gao and Alexandra will go to Madame Gao to inspect a laundry factory named 'New York Gao Laundry Company' near Manhattan Hell's Kitchen tonight. Just come to my office before dark."
Then, Kingpin paused, and his tone seemed to be deliberately slowed down. "That place is apparently a laundry factory, but it is just a place where Madame Gao secretly produces drugs under the guise of a laundry factory. In order to cover up people's eyes and avoid unnecessary attention, the area is relatively remote, and there are no other residential buildings around the factory."
Lin Hai Hearing Kingpin's words, an indescribable sense of relief arose in his heart.
Kingpin specifically emphasized that there were no ordinary people around the factory, which obviously took the safety of innocent people into consideration. This kind of subtle consideration is completely different from the Kingpin in Lin Hai's memory who became crazy after losing everything and regarded human life as nothing.
This is why Lin Hai worked hard to change the fate of Vanessa and little Richard. His wife and children are alive and healthy, which is the most effective restraint for this underground emperor.
However, Lin Hai did not show his emotion. He just calmly agreed to the gathering time given by Kingpin: "Okay, Mr. Wilson, we will arrive at your office before dark." Then he hung up the phone.
After such a long period of waiting and preparation, it is finally time to close the net. As the saying goes: it is better to cut off one of the ten fingers than to hurt them. Now, what they are planning to cut off are two of the huge cancerous tissue "Five Fingers" called the Hand.
Lin Hai first dialed Matt's phone number, which only rang twice before being picked up. "Matt, it's me, Mr. Lin Hai. Wilson just called and said that the time is right to take action tonight."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then came Matt's serious response. "I understand. Elektra is at the office, I'll tell her right away."
He paused, as if he remembered something. "Are you guys coming over soon, or are you going to come over directly in that way?"
Lin Hai answered of course, "That's natural. Use Portal to save time and trouble, why not?"
"Okay. We'll see you later."
"See you soon." Lin Hai hung up the call with Matt.
Then, he clicked on the small group of four people on his mobile phone and started typing and editing messages.
Lin Hai: [@All members just received a call from Mr. Wilson, and we will launch an operation against the Hand tonight.]
Almost instantly, Peter was the first to send his reply.
Peter: [Hey, hey, hey! Has the day to eliminate the Hand finally come?! I have waited too long! Let the great Spider-Man do justice for heaven and purify the filth in this world! (Spider-Man poses. jpg)]
Seeing Peter's reply, which was full of middle-class atmosphere and exaggerated expressions, Lin Hai couldn't help but raise his forehead. Then, three ellipses from him, Gwen and Harry were neatly followed below.
Lin Hai:[...]
Gwen:[...]
Harry:[...]
Lin Hai thought to himself, if it weren't for the sweaty soybean emoticon, he would have given three or five of them to Peter to express his mood at the moment.
Compared with Peter, Harry is obviously more serious. After following the formation and issuing ellipses, he immediately got to the point.
Harry: [Then when will we meet up? As you know, my armor needs to be put on in advance, Lin. I will trouble you to drive Portal to pick me up then.]
Lin Hai: [No problem. Mr. Wilson has set a time to arrive at his office before dark. We don't have to go too early, so there is no rush. We still have half a day to slowly prepare and adjust.]
Gwen: [Okay, I understand. Then I will go to the clinic to find you after lunch at home. By the way~ My mother asked me to ask you, do you want to come over to our house again before we start school? She said you seemed to like the apple pie last time.]
As soon as this news came out, Peter, which had just been silent, was immediately exposed.
Peter: [Huh?! Wait! What does it mean to come to the house again??? (Shocked. jpg) Lin! When did you sneak away to meet Gwen's parents?! You didn't tell us such a big thing! (accused Fingers. jpg)]
Harry's avatar also popped up at the right time. There was no text, just a leisurely eating melon emoticon while holding a tea cup elegantly with "I have seen through everything" on his face.
Lin Hai looked at Lou who was instantly crooked on the screen and smiled. There was nothing to hide in this matter, but he just hadn't told the two of them yet. He Fingers tapped on the screen and replied truthfully.
Lin Hai: [Just a few days ago, I took Gwen back to Huaxia to meet my parents. Then after we came back from Huaxia two days ago, I went to Gwen's home to formally visit Mr. Stacy and Ms. Stacy.]
Peter:[!!! Lin, you are so fast! (dumbfounded. jpg) Now we have met each other's parents?!]
Harry:[(Applause. jpg) Congratulations. It seems to be going very smoothly.]
Gwen:[(shy. jpg)]
Lin Hai realized that he had to change the subject immediately, otherwise God knows what other shocking remarks this talkative and brainy emperor could come up with.
Lin Hai: [Speaking of this, @Peter, when are you going to take Mary Jane back and make Uncle Ben and Aunt May happy? (Looking out of curiosity. jpg)]
Gwen and Harry immediately followed the formation and copied Lin Hai's emoticon package.
Gwen:[(Looking curiously. jpg)]
Harry:[(Looking curiously. jpg)]
This move was indeed effective immediately, and the pressure was instantly put on Peter's side. After a while, Peter's reply popped up in the group chat.
Peter: [Uh... (scratches head. jpg) I don't know... I haven't asked MJ about his arrangements in this regard, so I don't know...]
