On October 19, 2015, Xiang Nan and Mary came to Las Vegas for vacation.
Tomorrow, Silicon Valley giant Deep Dream will hold an event here.
Shenmeng Company is similar to Facebook and Twitter in real life, with 1.5 billion users all over the world.
Behind it is the CIA. The CIA has reached a secret agreement with the founder of Deep Dream, Aaron Carroll. They will provide the start-up funds, and Carroll will allow the CIA to read the user's big data.
Now that Deep Dream has become a world-class Internet giant, the information of its 1.5 billion users is naturally under the control of the CIA.
Even so, the top management of the CIA is not satisfied, and will launch the Iron Hand Project, allowing Deep Dream to launch a new platform, similar to Google's Android system.
And provide the platform back door to the CIA, so that it can monitor users for 24 hours, 360 degrees, and without dead ends.
Aaron Carroll disagrees.
Firstly, his wings are hardened, and he doesn’t want to be controlled by the CIA anymore; secondly, the CIA’s situation has been frequent in recent years, and top-secret information is often exposed.
Carol was worried that his secret deal with the CIA might also be revealed. In this way, not only will his reputation be ruined, but even Shenmeng will be ruined.
So he didn't want to seek skins from tigers anymore, and continued to cooperate with the CIA.
But CIA director Robert Dewey is not a vegetarian. Seeing that the little brother was going to rebel, he immediately sent prosecutors to investigate Deep Dream on the grounds that it was suspected of violating the Sherman Act.
The so-called Sherman Act, the official name is "Protection of Trade and Commerce from Unlawful Restrictions and Monopoly Act".
The law stipulates that any act of signing a contract in the form of a trust, implementing a merger, or conspiring to restrict trade is a violation of the law. Individuals or organizations that violate this law will be subject to civil or criminal sanctions.
However, the law does not give a clear explanation of what constitutes monopolistic behavior and what constitutes trade restriction, leaving a wide room for judicial interpretation.
Dewey wants to use this ambiguous case to beat Deep Dream Company. If Aaron Carroll is willing to continue to cooperate with him, then everything will be fine.
If not, I'm afraid Deep Dream Company will fall apart. Just like when Microsoft was also suspected of being a monopoly, it was almost split up.
And Aaron Carroll will naturally not give in so easily. He is going to make a killing, and at tomorrow's publicity conference, he will make his dark dealings with the CIA public. At that time, use the pressure of public opinion to force the CIA to make concessions.
CIA naturally didn't want this dark transaction to be exposed, so they prepared to assassinate Aaron Carroll and blame it on a fake Middle Eastern man.
Xiang Nan came here to solve this matter.
…
On the afternoon of the 20th, Xiang Nan ordered an aromatherapy SPA for Mary, and told her that he was going to the lobby for a stroll.
Afterwards, he came to the EXOCON seminar site.
At six o'clock this afternoon, Alan Carroll and CIA Director Robert Dewey will all attend this seminar.
The assassination arranged by Dewey was also at this meeting.
He wants the killer to hit him with Alan Carroll. In this way, even if Alan died, he could clear the suspicion, after all, he was also injured.
He can come up with such a bitter plan, which also shows his cruelty and scheming.
Xiang Nan arrived at the seminar site at four o'clock, and then found the most suitable shooting point.
As an extremely experienced killer, he naturally knows where to strike, which is the best choice.
Because they received the same set of training, the behavior pattern is the same.After finding the shooting spot, Xiang Nan hid himself.
At half past six, a person came backstage with a bag.
When Xiang Nan saw his appearance, he immediately recognized that he was the killer who killed Bourne's father.
Bourne's father, Richard Weber, was also a member of the CIA, and together with his colleagues in the CIA, he initiated the Stumbling Block Project.
But when Richard Weber found out that his son David Weber (Bourne's original name) was also on the list of investigations, he suddenly realized his conscience.
Because he knows how ruthless and cruel the stumbling block project is. It will erase a person's personality, soul, and humanity, and become a murderer who only knows to obey orders.
So he immediately opposed it, and even threatened to tell the stumbling block plan to protect his son.
As a result, the CIA executives not only did not accept his threat, but took the opportunity to send a killer to kill him, and told David Weber that it was a terrorist organization.
David Webb avenged his father and also wanted to protect the motherland, so he voluntarily joined the Stumbling Block Project. After countless brainwashing and abuse, he finally became a killer.
It wasn't until the assassination of Weng Posey failed and he lost his memory after falling into the water that he gradually awakened.
…
Xiang Nan watched the killer put down his leather bag, took out his sniper rifle, and pointed it at Alan Carroll on the stage.
At this time Alan Carroll was exposing his own dirty dealings with the CIA, "I had this idea a long time ago, a beautiful idea, to create a space, online... oh, it turned out to be a very popular idea , people from all over the world started using our services…
Oh, first off, all of this is making me richer, not healthier. But, what I want to say is, you know all this success comes at a price.
Deep Dream's core is terminally ill, a guilty secret, and, well, I have to share it with all of you..."
Xiang Nan noticed that the face of CIA director Robert Dewey who was sitting on the stage turned black.
He softly ordered the killer through the earphones, "This **** wants to bring us down, deal with Carol now~"
Just as the killer was about to shoot, Xiang Nan suddenly flicked his fingers, knocking him out on the spot.
Following, I heard Alan Carroll continue to break the news, "When I was in the early days of my business, I made a deal with the devil, and now he comes back to take my soul... This is something I will never allow."
"What devil, what soul?" Some audience members asked curiously.
"This..." Alan Carroll hesitated for a while, whether to tear his face.
When Robert Dewey saw that Alan Carroll was about to break the news, but the killer still refused to act, he couldn't help becoming anxious, and immediately ordered, "Essett, what are you waiting for, do it now !"
Xiang Nan naturally ignored his words, and he continued to wait for Alan Carroll's revelation.
"There are some people who threaten me to hand over user data..." Alan Carroll said.
His words immediately caused an uproar.
"Who is it, is he at the scene?"
"Is it the CIA?"
"Director Dewey, what explanation do you have?"
Everyone asked Dewey questions one after another.
